Confused! Winter vegetables are treasures!

Whether you can listen or not, there is no way to stop it. What else can you do except adapt?

So, how did Qin Guiren enter the palace and become a noble while being intimate with Huang Taisun? Tell me now!

Manchu civil and military officials: I am so anxious!!!

Such a group of bigwigs who can shake the court with just a stamp of their feet, no matter how anxious they are, can only wait for the ninth-rank official to slowly finish eating the steamed cakes, slowly wipe the corners of his mouth and hands, and then wait for the other party to open the artifact.

[Damn it, why doesn't the system provide pictures or videos? I really want to know how stunning Qin Guiren is. Xu Yanmiao

stared at the gossip in his hand, his face full of regret.

The system used a lot of text to describe how delicate and beautiful Qin Guiren was, but the place where the image should have been displayed was blank, and he could only fill in the blanks with his own imagination.

[With no family background, no power, and no means of making a living, it is no wonder that Taisun, while confessing his feelings, also arrogantly felt that Qin Guiren had nowhere to go. What a pity! Qin Guiren was still very determined to escape from Taisun at that time. She actually relied on her face to enter the Princess's Mansion as a dancer, and was later favored by the emperor who came to the Princess's Mansion. ] [

Qin Guiren felt that after leaving her lover, it didn't matter who she was with, so she entered the palace with the emperor. 】

【The grandson finally found his beloved again, but he learned that his grandfather had stolen her love. He rushed into the palace like a madman during the morning court session!!! Tsk tsk tsk, is he out of his mind?】

Ministers: "..."

This is not madness, it's insanity.

He is relying on being the grandson of the emperor, and he is not afraid of bringing trouble to his entire clan, right?

He is a bit greedy.

The Minister of Rites also heard colleagues whispering: "I thought that His Majesty had taken a fancy to the concubine of the Grand Duke, and directly robbed the commoner girl, but it turned out that it was the noble Qin who took the initiative to enter the palace."

"Yes, yes, I thought that His Majesty was old but not old at heart, and was still planning to be frivolous at over 60."

Mumbling...

Mumbling...

The Minister of Rites: "..."

For some reason, he felt that since he could hear the inner voice of that little official, the whole court had changed, and eight horses couldn't pull it back.

＊

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

The old emperor shouted angrily as he walked into the palace, and his voice spread throughout the palace. The palace servants lowered their heads slightly, fearing that the emperor would see them and vent his anger on them.

The old emperor sat down in the soft chair, opposite the queen.

"Sister! You don't know what our troublesome grandson did. He actually broke into the harem and had an affair with his grandfather's woman!"

"Moreover! This matter is known to all the civil and military officials in the court!" The voice became louder and louder, as if it could blow up the entire palace.

Empress Dou raised her eyebrows slightly: "Could it be that Xu..."

The old emperor said unhappily: "It's him! He doesn't concentrate on attending court, but only stares at other people's secrets! He'd better not let me catch him dereliction of duty, otherwise, I must give him thirty lashes!"

Empress Dou's hair was loose, and the four-bead pendant on her ear swayed slightly. She stood up, walked over and gently massaged the old emperor's forehead. The old emperor's original angry expression slowly disappeared, and his head leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

After a while. Suddenly, the old emperor's voice was heard: "I have put Qi Ge'er in jail."

Empress Dou showed reluctance, but still said: "Qi Ge'er has been spoiled by his pampering habits. It's time to temper his temper, so that he won't cause more trouble in the future."

The old emperor said "hmm", and then said: "As for that bitch, when she gives birth to a great-grandson, I will give her death. In consideration of her contribution to the birth of the royal heir, I will not let her suffer the pain of being beaten to death."

The hand rubbing the corner of the forehead stopped. Even the faint fragrance on the clothes was far away.

The old emperor sat up and turned his head in confusion: "Sister?"

The reluctance on Empress Dou's face became more and more obvious.

"Wu Lang, Lady Qin is also pitiful. Can you spare her life and let her shave her head and practice in Tianzhen Temple, worship the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life, and pray for the royal family."

The old emperor blinked his eyes: "Why should she be pitiful? She dared to cause trouble in the palace, so she must pay the price!"

Empress Dou said softly: "If Qi Ge'er had not provoked her at the beginning, if Qi Ge'er could have come directly to ask for the position of his wife for her, if Qi Ge'er could have let her go after she entered the palace, she would not have to come to this point today. I think that although she was wrong, she did not deserve the death penalty."

The old emperor was angry: "Is it wrong for me to be cuckolded?"

Cuckold is an allusion from the previous dynasty. It is said that there was a tyrant who took a fancy to my wife at that time, and he would always take advantage of her husband's absence to meet with her in private. The two agreed that if the husband was at home, the concierge would wear a green hat, and he would not come over if he saw it from a distance.

Later, the matter was exposed, and the green hat became a symbol of mockery of men.

Empress Dou looked into the old emperor's eyes, her eyes still gentle: "So, for the sake of the royal family's face, she will be a nun for the rest of her life, and no longer have any joy."

The old emperor was still unhappy: "Having food and drink in the temple, what kind of punishment is that."

Empress Dou insisted on her own idea, and ordered the maid beside her to take Qin Guiren over and place her in the side hall. The old emperor was furious: "You are a rebel!" He left in anger.

When he returned to the court, he would scold any minister who made a mistake.

Xu Yanmiao silently reduced his presence, and was glad again that he was a minor official, standing at the end of the team, and would not be noticed by the old emperor.

[What's wrong with him? Did he swallow dynamite? ]

[It's not us who cheated on you, so why are you taking it out on us? ]

Officials of all sizes almost nodded.

After they reacted, their eyes wandered, looking at the sky and the earth but not the emperor on the golden platform.

The old emperor: "..."

The eunuch beside him saw the emperor's expression and his legs almost went limp.

Strange? Why did your majesty suddenly have veins on his forehead? Who made your majesty angry? Your majesty was not so angry when he caught an adulterer before.

...Speaking of which, how did your majesty suddenly know in the court that Huang Taisun and Qin Guiren were committing adultery in the rockery?

The eunuch was puzzled.

The old emperor took a deep breath.

I am not angry, I am not angry, I am not angry... I will not do the stupid things that the previous emperor did, such as criticizing and convicting others in his heart!

Moreover…

the old emperor silently recited the three words “Xu Yanmiao” in his heart, frowning, but he recalled that half a year ago, it was also a solemn court meeting, and Xu Yanmiao’s inner voice was revealed for the first time—the

leak was about officials fabricating a severe drought in Shandong.

For more than ten years, the old emperor and some central officials thought that Shandong had suffered from drought for years, and the court had been constantly allocating grain to disaster relief. Shandong officials reported that there was a drought in Shandong, and Shandong students who came to the capital to participate in the imperial examination said that there was a drought in Shandong. The central government did not think much about it until Xu Yanmiao said:

[Fraudulently claiming disaster relief funds for more than ten years, Shandong old iron bull! Usually honest and not causing trouble, but when he does, he makes a big one! ]

The court and the public were shocked.

The old emperor sent his spies to investigate...

emmm, anyway, after the investigation, Shandong officials were in a bloodbath. That period was simply a frenzy for those who had passed the imperial examination. As long as you passed the exam, you could go to Shandong to be an official. There were many vacancies there after the Great Purge.

The Jinyiwei was also established during this period. This department was responsible for gathering news from all over the country for the old emperor and monitoring all officials.

In the past six months, the old emperor has gotten to know Xu Yanmiao a little bit.

This person is indeed a complete mortal, but he was fortunate enough to be recognized as the master of the artifact "system", and he could see everything in the world like the divine beast Bai Ze. But I don't know how much damage the artifact suffered, so that Xu Yanmiao's voice could be heard by others.

But not everyone can hear it - such as the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards... After half a year of testing, the old emperor can be sure that only those with official seals or imperial seals can hear Xu Yanmiao's inner voice. Others, even the crown prince, cannot hear it without official seals.

- Xu Yanmiao is uncontrollable and will reveal a lot of secrets. A

murderous intent flashed in the old emperor's eyes.

Below, Xu Yanmiao didn't know that he was in great trouble, and continued to gossip happily.

[Oh, the king of Nanyue is planning to rebel against our Great Xia? Is he contacting Minyue and Dongyue? ]

[Are you crazy? You can't wait, at least wait until the founding of the country is dead. ]

The old emperor moved his butt on the throne.

The eunuch leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty?"

The old emperor coughed lightly and said, "It is the end of the year and the affairs are very busy. The officials of each department are very hard-working. I will give them two taels of green vegetables. I hope you will be loyal to each other and not slack off."

The eunuch's pupils trembled and he swallowed his saliva carefully.

Winter green vegetables? Such precious things are only grown in the acre of land at the mouth of the hot spring. On weekdays, only the emperor and the prince can eat them, and occasionally they are rewarded to important officials. Now they are going to be given to the officials of each department - these minor officials from the ninth rank?

And they are going to be given two taels each? !

The eunuch ordered the eunuchs under him to carry out this task, and he felt sour in his heart.

I have served Your Majesty for twenty or thirty years, and I have never been rewarded with winter green vegetables. These petty officials, what virtue do they have...

The green vegetables were quickly distributed to the clerks, and immediately there was an overwhelming voice of thanks.

Xu Yanmiao knelt down and stood up again, staring at the yellowed and wilted vegetables in his hand, and it was rare that he didn't have any feelings.

The clerk of the Ministry of War next to him had dried tears on his face, sniffed, and dared to talk to Xu Yanmiao.

"Xu Lang." The clerk of the Ministry of War hinted: "Your Majesty is very kind to us. This winter, only Prime Minister Dou received the green vegetables rewarded by Your Majesty, but it was no more than half a catty..."

At the top, the old emperor had not yet heard Xu Yanmiao's voice. However, he had his own guess——

"Are you so moved that you can't speak?"

The old emperor looked at where Xu Yanmiao was, raised his eyebrows slightly, and showed his arrogance.

"You are moved. You are moved! Even the winter vegetables that I can't bear to eat, can't make you grateful enough to die for them?"

At this time, another basket of green vegetables passed in front of the old emperor.

Generally speaking, these rewards should be carried to their respective residences by special personnel after the court session, rather than distributed in court, but the old emperor climbed up from the bottom and understood what "giving face" and "giving honor" meant the most...

How can it be the same to carry them to the residences afterwards and distribute them in front of all the officials!

Didn't you see that several officials were so excited that they fainted!

The old emperor was pleased and hurt at the same time.

He didn't want to see so many winter vegetables, but...

The old emperor smacked his lips.
