Chapter 359 Self-discipline and persistence
...
The first time she went to court.
It really shocked all the officials.
No one would have thought that the Empress, who was born as a peasant woman, was so strong.
In front of all the officials, she broke off one side of the armrest of the Phoenix Chair.
Not only did she break it, she also crushed the wood into sawdust.
The wood of the chair could not be rotten wood, otherwise all the people in the Ministry of Works and Construction would be dead.
Moreover, the chair was not made in modern times, but was inherited from ancestors. It was difficult to cut the wood with a knife.
It was as hard as iron.
The Empress broke it down in front of all the officials.
It was really scary.
A group of officials who stood up felt their scalps tingling.
With such a queen, they still wanted to send their daughters to the palace. What could they use to fight the queen?
One of them was unhappy and was accidentally killed by the Empress.
Other palace fights are heartbreaking, but their palace fights are directly harmful to the body.
And the Empress does not look reckless at all. Think about the Princess Caiyi, who she taught, who is an expert in palace fights.
The officials who stood up gradually cleared their heads and were sweating coldly on their backs.
The officials who submitted memorials in the future were much more cautious.
The new emperor went to court on the first day of his accession to the throne. His majesty was established by the Empress.
On the first day, the new emperor announced three things.
First, each of those officials who asked him to fill up the harem would be given a palace maid or concubine to fill up their harem.
Second, the work and rest schedule would be changed. In the future, there would be a grand court meeting every seven days, and there would be no need to get up so early. There would be two days off every five days.
The third thing was to rehabilitate some officials. The officials involved in the Seventh Prince's case were sentenced to death, leaving some positions vacant for newcomers to take their place.
Some were colleagues who were waiting to be selected, and some were young officials who were wrongly accused, such as the top scholar, Wei Qichi.
The new emperor had a good brain and remembered the names of every official very clearly.
And those officials who were selected were grateful.
They were branded with the new emperor's stamp, and as expected, their careers were smooth.
Wei Qichi was wearing a navy blue official uniform. He was now the newly appointed Huangmen Shilang.
Everyone knew that the new emperor was Huangmen Shilang before he took office.
It can be seen that this official position is special.
Wei Qichi was filled with emotion.
Looking back on the past, he first saw Changtian in a village.
At that time, he did not expect that today would come.
They had spent countless long nights talking and now that the emperor and his subject met again, Qiqi Chi felt inexplicably proud.
He had contributed to the journey.
He had not forgotten.
The new emperor promoted so many people, but he felt that it was because of him.
It was like someone hugged many people just to hug him.
As expected, the court was dismissed.
Everyone else left, and Qiqi Chi was left behind.
Some people had to go back and hurry up to prepare the betrothal gifts.
Qiqi Chi was actually a little nervous.
There was a difference between the emperor and his subject, and he didn't know how to get along with each other now, and how to grasp that balance.
Although the new emperor was rising step by step, and he had contributed a lot in many cases, if he kept being complacent about it, he would probably be dead soon.
But deep down, I was always troubled by emotions. I felt that the two of them had a very good relationship, as if from now on, there was really a difference between the monarch and his subjects. Although they were suitable, there was something a little weird about the relationship.
In every dynasty, there would always be a situation where the emperor would kill his good brothers first when he ascended the throne.
Because the brother became the leader, the others had not yet adapted and always treated him as a good brother.
The leader finally couldn't stand it anymore, but was too embarrassed to say, "I am the leader now, you have to respect me." He was too embarrassed to say this, so he had to kill you. Thinking about social phobia, it was so scary... Just because of social phobia, he didn't dare to communicate with the other party, so he had to let the other party go offline.
There were some doubts in Meiqi's mind.
He packed up his trivial thoughts and walked into the palace.
He had not walked far when he saw the figure of a little girl running out.
A young man followed behind her.
The little girl and the boy stopped at the same time when they saw him.
The little girl shouted, "Hello, Uncle Xi."
The boy shouted, "Hello, teacher."
Xi Qichi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the students with vivid expressions on their faces.
In fact, according to universal values, he should assist the young master, but he knew the young master's personality, he was smart and withdrawn, that was not suitable, and the master didn't want it.
"What are you going to do?"
"Flying a kite, it's windy today." Mianmian pointed to a big kite held in the hand of Heita behind him.
"Okay, be careful not to fall."
"Goodbye, Uncle Xi."
"Goodbye, teacher."
Passing by each other, they were still running.
Xi Qichi had a feeling that history was repeating itself. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor.
He also saw the princesses and princes in the palace running.
The laughter was crisp.
At least the young master is living well now and has not been wronged. Wei Qichi feels that no matter whether he did the right thing or the wrong thing, he has a clear conscience regarding the young master.
The interruption of the two children made him feel calmer and less nervous.
Then he went to the Wenxin Palace, which was not the place where the emperor received guests, but the emperor's living quarters.
Being able to come here at least proved that Wei Qichi was regarded as his own.
Then he was led into the house by the eunuch. The layout inside seemed to remind him of the former Kaner Village.
A small tea table with charcoal in the middle, on which tea was boiled, and some fruits and pumpkins were placed around it.
The new emperor, who had just been sitting majestically on the dragon chair, had changed his clothes and was now wearing ordinary clothes. The room was warmer.
Seeing Wuqichi coming, the new emperor waved and said, "Brother Yehang, come and have a cup of tea. It's too cold outside."
Wuqichi saluted first and then went over.
He crossed his legs on the warm couch and drank a cup of tea poured by the new emperor himself.
The taste was bitter and sweet, very strange, but it was the original taste.
New tea is popular now, and this way of boiling tea is considered outdated.
But if the emperor boils it, it will probably be trendy again.
"Is the emperor used to it?"
"It's OK. Sister Xia and the others are here, so I feel OK. But Brother Yehang, it is said that the emperor is a lonely man. If you lose our friendship because I became the emperor, then I am afraid that I will really become a lonely man. I am afraid that I will become like the late emperor. When the late emperor was young, he was said to be a very wise and kind person. Power makes people confused. If there is such a day, Brother Yehang, will you remind me?"
Jiang Changtian said earnestly.
Xiqichi breathed a sigh of relief. Brother Jiang has not changed. Even if he became the emperor, he still has a sincere heart.
He bowed solemnly and said, "I am willing. I will."
The two drank tea and ate snacks together.
Just like before, they talked about many things in the court.
Wei Qichi is a very good candidate for secretary. He knows the family background of every official in the court like the back of his hand, and he analyzes them one by one, just like in the past. He
even bluntly said who is incompetent and who is just occupying positions without doing any work...
Jiang Changtian also listened very seriously and nodded from time to time, just like in the past.
After eating a snack that was a bit like lunch, Wei Qichi finally realized that he had to say goodbye.
When he left the Hall of Inquiry, a cool breeze blew at the door.
Wei Qichi was a little nervous, and he looked back at the Hall of Inquiry, which was tall and majestic.
He always forgets.
He clearly thought about the difference between the monarch and the ministers when he entered the palace, but he still forgot it unconsciously when he spoke.
A mature politician should not speak like this.
This is wrong.
The further he walked out of the palace, the more uneasy he became.
He knew that the new emperor was not really the sincere and honest scholar he remembered.
Perhaps he was much more complicated.
When Xiqichi returned home, he felt a dull headache.
At this time, the rewards from the palace also came.
The rewards were from the Jiang family.
They were all very practical things. Things
for eating and drinking.
There was also a calligraphy.
Xiqichi just remembered that he had praised Brother Jiang for his good calligraphy, but he had never written for him.
He didn't expect that after he ascended the throne, he would actually give him a calligraphy.
"Do things when you are sober, read when you are confused, think when you are alone, and control your emotions when you are angry. Brother Yehang, don't worry, I can do it, I will persevere with self-discipline, and encourage each other." (Note 1)
When Xiqichi saw this calligraphy, his uneasy heart finally settled down and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother Jiang has not changed, his sincerity remains the same.
He will not change, he is loyal and devoted.
As long as you are willing to listen, I will always tell you the truth.
