Jing Zuohuai's body was shaking uncontrollably, and he looked at himself in the mirror somewhat helplessly.
We have to speed up the progress the day after the annual holiday, and it can be said that we work at a high intensity every day.
The process has reached the end of the story, and Jing Zuohuai couldn't help but increase the dosage of the medicine a little.
Hold on, just a little bit more.
Jing Zuohuai cheered himself on.
In the end, Qin Zheng ascended the throne and established friendly relations with the reorganized ancient Xia Kingdom.
Zhou Yuan was protected by Qin Zheng, who took him back to the palace and renovated an elegant courtyard for him. After Qin Zheng came to power, he focused on handling government affairs and only went to Zhou Yuan to relax when he was done with work.
However, because he delayed taking a concubine, he was exposed by court officials and framed as a demon who seduced the current emperor. Some even demanded his execution.
"May I ask, my dear minister, have I delayed any government affairs by doing this?" Qin Zheng frowned. He hated it most when these old guys said something sour.
"I review your memorials every day, trying to understand the living conditions of the common people. Why hasn't anyone come forward to help me share the burden? Every time I want to rectify internal affairs, you show up. What's going on? Are you afraid that I will find out about you?"
"Now you are even meddling in my affairs? If you are not busy, I don't mind finding some tasks for you to do." Qin Zheng laughed angrily. He will definitely investigate them thoroughly in a few days.
These old guys have been sitting in this position for so long, they really think I'm easy to control!
"No, I am also thinking about the emperor."
Qin Zheng was too lazy to listen to them and interrupted them directly, "How about this, I will draw up a list later and send some ministers to live among the people for a while. I am too busy to take care of everything, so it's time for you to share my burden."
"this......"
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "General Li, what do you think of my proposal?"
The young general of the Li Mansion and Qin Zheng had a good relationship. He was three or four years younger than Qin Zheng and had similar views and opinions, so they got along very well. He was also very open-minded, had a wife and a male concubine, and his wife had recently become pregnant.
Qin Zheng likes chatting with him and can learn a lot from him.
The Major General said respectfully, "I think it's a good idea. We can also examine a group of new people."
General Li was practically furious listening to this. How could such an infuriating thing come out of his own mouth? Even if he had suggested it secretly, it would have been fine! What a brainless person!
"Not bad!" Qin Zheng nodded with satisfaction. "That's it, let's adjourn the court."
After Qin Zheng retired from court, he asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some snacks and send them to the empress dowager. He knew that Zhou Yuan would come here, so the food he prepared was what he liked to eat.
When he arrived, Zhou Yuan was playing chess with his mother, and the two were having a pleasant conversation.
"Mother, you look very good today." Qin Zheng sat next to Zhou Yuan and peeled grapes for him. He fed him one after peeling it.
Zhou Yuan was a little shy and quickly told him not to do that. But he acted as if he didn't see it and continued to pamper her as he pleased.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile when she saw how affectionate they were. She knew about the two children and how it was not easy for a person to meet someone they cherished in their life. What excuse did she have to prevent the two children from separating?
After careful reorganization, the ministers in the court became much more honest. Qin Zheng and Zhou Yuan were married on an auspicious day, a ceremony witnessed only by the two of them and the heavens and the earth.
There were too many things involved and his identity was complicated, so this was the only way. Qin Zheng promised him that he would compensate him, give him everything he had, and even bring peace to Guxia.
The peaceful days did not last long. The changes in the court had a profound impact. The topic ultimately came down to whether he should get married and give birth to a prince as soon as possible.
The political turmoil around him and the oppression from the ministers in the court made Zhou Yuan feel a little tired. But he never told Zhou Yuan about these things, and always showed him his happy side.
Zhu Yuan could sense the pressure on him. He secretly went to the Queen Mother and told her about the matter. He knew the outcome was set, and although he was very reluctant, he still recommended that he take a concubine.
He knew the truth of the saying, "A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day." Besides, as the current emperor, how could Qin Zheng be childless for his entire life?
The Queen Mother finally relented and recommended several good girls to Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng almost turned against her after knowing this, but when the Queen Mother said it was Zhou Yuan's wish, Qin Zheng felt like a balloon that had been deflated.
He knew they were all doing this for his own good, but he... he had already wronged Zhou Yuan, so how could he bear to disappoint him again?
After much deliberation, Qin Zheng agreed dejectedly.
The girl was well-educated and well-mannered. After she learned about Qin Zheng and Zhou Yuan, she did not show any expression of fear. Instead, when she learned that Zhou Yuan was in poor health, she came to take good care of him.
Qin Zheng didn't like this girl at first, but he knew that she was sincere to them and took good care of the Queen Mother and Zhou Yuan, so he no longer looked at her coldly.
This Miss Tang was the daughter of a distant relative of the Empress Dowager. She was very sensible and had a gentle personality. On their wedding night, Qin Zheng did not stay in her room for too long. Like a machine carrying out its mission, he returned to Zhou Yuan's room in the second half of the night.
She had become the queen and had no airs at all. The next day when she had nothing to do, she came to serve the empress dowager.
The peace of Gu Xia did not last long. His brothers fought to the death for the right of succession, and finally his third brother inherited the throne.
This man was a belligerent by nature, and was extremely dissatisfied with those who controlled him. He had somehow learned that his brother was in love with the current emperor, so he went to the palace to provoke him.
Qin Zhengli gave him some leeway, but this guy learned to push his limits. Zhou Yuan would not tolerate him and treated him coldly.
