66, Emperor II
Meng Jingzhe was stunned when he heard this. What beating children, what bad menstrual periods, and what nightmare medicines were all messy, almost nothing could be imagined, nothing could be done.
In this messy thing, Meng Jingzhe grabbed a point. He recalled this Chen Pin in his mind. In a large area of memories, he finally found something related to this person.
It seemed that three months ago, someone said in his ear, "Pin Chen is pregnant."
And a month ago, someone said in his ear, "Pin Chen is miscarriage."
As for who this person is, Meng Jingzhe thought for a long time before he thought of a dull face.
It is his first wife and his queen.
Meng Jingzhe was a little ashamed. His woman was pregnant, but he didn't care at all. Instead, his wife kindly reminded him, is she still a husband like this careless?
Meng Jingzhe thought that he had few children now, only the prince and the second prince, and the eldest princess, and Chen Ping finally got pregnant. This child should have been protected, but he disappeared in vain.
I felt uncomfortable for no reason.
When he thought of his children, he couldn't help but feel a hint of fatherly love. He wanted the Imperial Hospital to show the children, so he said again: "The prince's side..."
Meng Jingzhe paused, as if he was thinking about his words.
But this fell into the ears of the Imperial Hospital verdict, and just thought that the prince's affairs were also exposed. He immediately cried and called his parents, saying, "Although the prince's medicine is favored by an old minister, he was given the concubine Defei's mother.
The instructor is definitely not the old minister’s own idea. Please let Your Majesty take a closer look!"
Meng Jingzhe looked at the old man in front of him and couldn't help but frown. He thought that the man had only the only thing on hand was the imperial concubine, but he didn't expect that there was still a matter of the prince.
"So it was the medicine you gave?" Meng Jingzhe pretended to know the truth.
"The old minister was also coerced by Concubine De. The lives of the old ministers' family were all held in the hands of the family of Concubine De. The old minister really dared not refuse to obey."
Concubine De is the biological mother of the second prince. Once the prince has an accident, it will naturally be the second prince’s turn to touch the throne.
Meng Jingzhe asked a few more questions and learned that the old doctor was instructed by Concubine De. Although he did not directly poison the prince's medicine, he added a lot of drugs that could make people feel confused.
After all, the other party is the prince. If he dies suddenly, he will inevitably be investigated to the end. If these drugs are taken for a long time, they will not cause death, but will make people feel distracted and have a bad temper.
The prince was not very smart at first. After taking these medicines, he acted even more stupid. He even did a lot of things that were unreasonable because of his impatient nature.
However, the prince's tyranny is in line with the emperor, so the emperor has never punished him. Instead, he said nonsense like "giving a son, Xiaofu" several times, which made Concubine De very angry.
Meng Jingzhe didn't know why his harem was in such a mess. Looking at the old doctor in front of him, he immediately called someone to continue to interrogate in order to avoid any fish that had missed the net.
As for Concubine De and Concubine who had been involved, Meng Jingzhe did not nail the person to death at once, but instead sent someone else to verify these matters.
Meng Jingzhe didn't know why, but he always felt that he should be a good emperor who loved the people as much as his son. With this idea, he asked the eunuch around him: "Where is the memorial? Don't you send it here?"
Meng Jingzhe felt it was outrageous. In this huge palace, various weapons were hung on a wall, but nothing related to literature could be seen.
When the eunuch heard this, his body trembled and explained tremblingly.
Following the other party's explanation, Meng Jingzhe remembered some things. It turned out that he was too tired to criticize memorials, so he first got a few auxiliary ministers and asked them to deal with these state affairs.
It was originally quite stable, but three months ago, the imperial concubine mentioned her father who was an official in the dynasty, and Meng Jingzhe mentioned the other party from a third-rank official to the position of prime minister.
Meng Jingzhe has been asking about political affairs for a long time. Since he remembered it, he was determined to manage the government well, so he immediately sent someone to call all the auxiliary ministers.
Several people were rushed into the palace, not only unknown, but also a little scared.
After all, although this master is not very responsible, he likes to kill people very much.
There is no need to make any death advice in front of him. Once he is dead advice, he will really die. Not only will he die, but he will also have to die with the whole clan, and he will be a real household registration book.
As soon as Meng Jingzhe came in, he looked at the people in front of him. Except for the first concubine, Liu Zhongguo, who was in his forties, he was still relatively young. The other few people looked the youngest in their fifties and the oldest,
Even his hair turned white.
For some reason, Meng Jingzhe was in a pretty good mood and suddenly became a little dissatisfied again.
"Are everyone in this position?" Meng Jingzhe asked.
Several people immediately looked at each other, as if counting who was not there, but everyone counted three times before they found that no one was absent.
After all, no one dares to lack the tyrant's diligence.
Liu Zhongguo walked up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, no one is absent."
Meng Jingzhe nodded and asked again: "Has something big happened recently?"
Liu Zhongguo had almost no thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your Majesty, if the peace is coming today, the sea is peaceful and the river is clear, nothing major happens."
When Meng Jingzhe heard this, he frowned instinctively, looked at the seemingly loyal and cheap father-in-law in front of him, and said, "Liu Xiang, what you said is wrong."
After hearing this, Liu Zhongguo burst into tears and thought to himself, could he have not taken care of his work, so he is now caught by this tyrant?
Even so, he was not too panicked. After all, his good daughter was still in the palace. If something really happened, she could still blow the pillow wind.
"I don't know what's wrong with me, please ask Your Majesty to correct me." Liu Zhongguo said with a simple face.
Meng Jingzhe glanced at him and said, "There is no small matter in governing the country, how can you say that nothing big happened?"
Liu Zhongguo was stunned, but he was also a quick reaction, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is right, I am stupid and made a big mistake. Your Majesty is so wise that he can do things for Your Majesty. I am really a humble minister.
The blessings I have cultivated in several lifetimes..."
Although Liu Zhongguo had a simple face, he was very flattering when speaking and doing things. At this time, Meng Jingzhe listened to his series of boasting, and felt that he could not listen anymore. He immediately stopped him and said: "
Needless to say, just say something real."
Liu Zhongguo was stunned and turned to say, "Since Your Majesty is asking about the recent major events, the top major events are coming, and Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. All localities offer filial piety to Your Majesty, among which the prefect of Jinling..."
When Meng Jingzhe heard the word "filial piety", he thought about it in his mind and realized that it was during the holidays that officials from all over the country gave gifts to himself, the emperor.
This incident is not the first case created by Meng Jingzhe, but a regular example passed down from generation to generation. Although it is just a convention, it is implemented by everyone as a serious rule.
Meng Jingzhe thought of this, but he was not happy at all. Instead, he felt that these people were full.
I guess I didn’t think they were corrupt, but when I saw the romance gifts I gave me, wouldn’t I think too much?
Meng Jingzhe asked, "All the Boxing Ceremony this year has arrived?"
"Most of them have arrived, but..." Liu Zhongguo immediately showed a embarrassed expression on his face.
Meng Jingzhe frowned and said, "If you have something to say, why bother twitch?"
"It's not that the empress is unwilling to say it directly. Just say it out, there will inevitably be suspicion of making trouble behind the scenes." Liu Zhongguo's face was full of embarrassment.
Meng Jingzhe looked at him calmly and said, "Since you are afraid of being said to be a mess, then stop talking."
Liu Zhongguo was dead, but unexpectedly, Meng Jingzhe did not play according to common sense. When he thought, he immediately changed his words and said, "If it is related to the humble minister, I am not willing to care too much. It is just that this matter is related to Your Majesty, I am not willing to worry too much.
But I feel I have to say it.”
Seeing him like this, Meng Jingzhe said with great certainty: "No matter whether this is a mess or not, it seems that you are determined to say it."
Liu Zhongguo's face became increasingly stiff.
A minister beside him couldn't help laughing as he watched the two of them go back and forth.
Meng Jingzhe glanced at this man and was the oldest old man with gray hair.
The old man was still his teacher. When he saw that he looked over, he was not panicked, but instead smiled.
Meng Jingzhe looked at the others again, and at this time they all lowered their heads, looking like they were laughing.
Meng Jingzhe turned around and saw that Liu Zhongguo didn't say anything, so he asked, "What, are you not going to say it?"
Liu Zhongguo comforted himself in his heart, rounding it up and thinking it was a step, and immediately cheered up and started performing: "Zhao Zhi, the governor of Jinling, became the favorite of His Majesty, and he used the whole province's strength to offer His Majesty a pair of snow-white spiritual deer to His Majesty
, this deer has elegant manners and beautiful figures, and is as elegant and agile as a fairy deer. In addition, the deer means to win the world, which is a great auspiciousness..."
Meng Jingzhe heard this, but he was not happy at the first time. Instead, he frowned and said, "White deer, this is not common."
Liu Zhongguo immediately said: "It is precisely because it is not common that the prefect of Jinling can't wait to present it to His Majesty."
Meng Jingzhe looked at him and said, "It's not common, it's still white. Isn't this a disease? Albinism, don't you know?"
Liu Zhongguo really didn't know, so he was just stuck on the spot.
He accepted the private filial piety from the prefect of Jinling, so he would speak up for him in front of the emperor, and even planned to step on another official to raise the prefect of Jinling.
But until now, the name of another official had not appeared, and the name of the prefect of Jinling had already made His Majesty unhappy, making him secretly scream in his heart.
Meng Jingzhe said again: "Zhao Zhicheng may not know that this is a disease, so he mistakenly thinks of auspiciousness. He is actually kind-hearted, so he can't be a big mistake like this. If you, a senior official, can't you even encounter such a thing?
Do you want to tolerate it? You still have to run to me and say something?"
A question mark slowly appeared above Liu Zhongguo's head.
"Your Majesty, I am not trying to say the little words of Lord Zhao Zhicheng."
"Then who are you going to say?" Meng Jingzhe asked.
"What I want to say is the little words of Li Su," Liu Zhongguo replied without thinking.
