Qin Fuying always thought that Fu Yuan would naturally sit on the throne and become the new emperor.
Who would have thought that, led by General Zhao, everyone would push her to a high position.
Gu Shen objected, "How can we hand over the Great Qin to a woman?"
"If you insist on pushing Princess Yongle to the throne, then I have no choice but to resign from the post of Minister of Agriculture and return home." Gu Shen looked at Fu Yuan with disappointment.
In his heart, he always hoped that Fu Yuan could take that position.
But Fu Yuan chose to quit directly.
Fu Yuan was tired, and this time, he just wanted to live for himself.
General Zhao rolled his eyes. "It's useless for you to disagree. There are so many ministers in the court, but you are the only one who has the most to do."
"If you have the ability, then resign. The Qin Empire is full of young talents. Do you think that if you leave, the Qin Empire will perish?"
"You...you guys..." Seeing that no one spoke for him, Gu Shen was so angry that he took off his official hat.
He left in a leisurely manner, slowing down his pace only when he was about to leave the palace gate, but no one chased him.
Qin Fuying ascended the throne in this way, and the old ministers in the court held a coronation ceremony for her.
Now that she has become the empress, she will do it well.
Three years passed, and during these three years, Qin Fuying became more and more adept at his job.
There were also many female ministers in the court.
As long as you have the ability, gender is not an issue.
The Golden Palace.
Qin Fuying was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a tasseled dragon crown on her head.
"Long live the emperor." In the court, all officials paid homage.
Qin Fuying raised her hand slightly, "My dear ministers, please stand up."
The young eunuch standing by was singing in a controlled tone.
"If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court~"
"I have something to report."
General Zhao stepped out with a tablet in his hand.
Qin Fuying's eyelids twitched. She didn't need to think to guess what General Zhao was doing.
"Lord Zhao, if this is not a matter of national importance, please step down."
"Your Majesty, what I have said is a matter of great importance to the country."
General Zhao raised his voice, "The country cannot be without a queen for a day. It is time to choose a male concubine for your majesty to expand the Qin Dynasty. This is a matter of great importance to the country!
Three years ago, Your Majesty said that you were in mourning for the late emperor, but three years have passed, and it is time to fill the harem."
"Captain Zhao is right, Your Majesty. The country cannot be without an heir for a day." This is Prime Minister Zhou. His face is flushed. A few days ago, a little granddaughter was born in the family. She is very pleasing to the eye.
He just wanted to leave court as soon as possible and go back to see his granddaughter.
When Zhao Qingzhu came to his house, he could of course call her his granddaughter, after all, she took his surname Zhou.
Prime Minister Zhou thought so and looked at General Zhao with pride.
General Zhao was too lazy to argue with him, but Qingzhu of his family said that the next child would take the surname Zhao.
Qin Fuying supported her forehead with one hand and glanced at Feng Ting'er.
Feng Ting'er was promoted by Qin Fuying to be the right prime minister. She was very outstanding and could handle anything perfectly.
At this time, Feng Ting'er stood there, pretending not to see it.
Sweat beads appeared on the tip of her nose.
Your Majesty, you see I am of no use.
When they came, these old ministers had already greeted them.
Qin Fuying sighed, knowing at a glance that the ministers in the court were in collusion.
She waved her hand and said, "Let the Ministry of Rites decide on this matter. I will not go. As for the position of empress, we will talk about it another day."
"Your Majesty is wise." General Zhao and the ministers shouted.
It is already a great relief for His Majesty to agree to choose a male concubine, so they dare not push too hard.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Qin Fuying even forgot about the matter of selecting a concubine.
After all, she did not choose it herself, but asked the Ministry of Rites to choose it.
Qin Fuying reviewed memorials until late at night. She rubbed her temples and felt a little tired.
Eunuch De, who was standing by, bent over and said, "Your Majesty, the weather has turned cold. You should go back to the Yangxin Palace to rest today. If you stay in the Imperial Study Room all the time, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it."
"Well, let's go back." Qin Fuying nodded.
Eunuch De led the way.
The person who was most happy about the death of the late emperor was Eunuch De.
He still likes this empress. Compared with the previous emperor, at least she is not as moody.
He always says what he thinks and never lets his subordinates guess.
Eunuch De sent the person to the door and did not follow him in.
She took off her coat, put it on her arm and walked to the dormitory.
A faint fragrance drifted into her nostrils, and Qin Fuying frowned.
Why is it so sweet?
Qin Fuying covered her nose with clothes and shouted while sitting on the dragon bed.
"Come here, replace this incense with the one I used to use."
Hearing footsteps, she thought it was the palace maids coming.
But the closer I got, the more the sound seemed wrong. It didn't sound like a woman's steps, but more like a man's.
Most importantly, there were six of them!!!
Six men, six types.
The first person to approach was a sturdy man clad in gauze. He had a resolute look on his face, and his eight-pack abs were faintly visible through the gauze.
The second one was a modest gentleman who was as gentle as jade. He was very scheming and bowed.
"My name is Runze, Your Majesty can call me Aze."
The third one was a little wolf-dog, and he glared at Runze.
"Your Majesty, my name is Tingfeng. I would like Your Majesty to give me a unique title." Tingfeng was very bold and sat directly on the dragon bed.
Seeing that there was no disgust on Qin Fuying's face, he tentatively extended his hand to her shoulder.
"Your Majesty, you must be very tired after traveling all day. I will help you relax."
Qin Fuying felt dizzy at this time, and she tried hard to stay awake.
But my body felt like it was burning on fire.
How could she not understand that she had been drugged?
These old ministers really have good intentions so that she can have many children!
Qin Fuying bit her lower lip and blood flowed out.
The fourth male concubine came forward, he directly pushed Tingfeng away and fell into Qin Fuying's arms.
He smelled tea and reached out to touch his bleeding lips.
"Your Majesty, don't pay attention to the three of them. They didn't see your Majesty get hurt, but I saw it right away. Your Majesty, don't bite me. I feel bad."
Qin Fuying wanted to push the person in her arms away, but she didn't have the strength to do so.
Even biting her lip required willpower.
Qin Fuying's voice was hoarse, "Everyone get out!"
But these words were not threatening at all, instead they sounded soft, as if she was acting coquettishly.
But when these words were spoken, no one listened.
The fifth male concubine is a little boy who is sunny and cute.
He directly pulled the male concubine lying in Qin Fuying's arms aside.
He didn't waste any time, quickly took off the gauze and hugged Qin Fuying directly.
"Sister Empress, why are you so hot? Let me cool you down."
It seemed that these people were about to fight.
The sixth scheming man said, "Don't fight, don't fight, come one by one. Of course, I don't mind if two come together."
"That makes sense. Let's all listen to Brother Feng Qi and come one by one." The other five consciously lined up.
I mind! Qin Fuying heard this sentence when she lost her mind. She raised her head with great effort to look at the person who spoke.
Okay, I'll remember you! Feng Qi, right?
…
For the first time in his life, Qin Fuying, who got up early every day, slept until dawn.
At this time, there was no male concubine around her.
The body was also cleaned and felt refreshed.
Qin Fuying forced herself to stand up.
Just when everyone thought that the empress would not come to the morning court, she came.
Qin Fuying looked at the ministers below and smiled.
"Yesterday, I was very happy. Especially Feng Qi, she is very much in my heart. General Zhao is right, the country cannot be without a queen for a day, so let's make Feng Qi the queen!"
When the meeting was over, Minister Feng went to look for Feng Ting'er.
"What on earth did your brother do? No matter how I look at it, His Majesty doesn't look happy."
"How would I know? Otherwise, Dad, you should ask your brother what he did." Feng Ting'er was helpless.
Minister Feng sighed.
His son has always been good at giving bad ideas since he was young. Who knows what idea he has come up with to make Your Majesty unhappy.
Minister Feng's pupils trembled slightly.
Oh my God, it can't be what he thinks...
