Chapter 73 The Powerful Official Disguised as a Man 19



Chen Miaoyi was young and ignorant, so she was forced onto the dragon bed by the emperor.

When he has his own wife, moves out, and has a few children, he will probably forget about this ridiculous thing.

The emperor was stunned when he heard this. Grant Chen Miaoyi a marriage?

The Queen Mother didn't know that Chen Miaoyi was a girl, but he knew it. No girl could be so unlucky.

Even if Chen Miaoyi doesn't consummate the marriage with the other person, if they continue to live together for a long time, their relationship will definitely be discovered, which would be dangerous.

"Mother, let it go. Let her leave peacefully. Which noble lady could endure living in Cangzhou?"

The young ladies from wealthy families in the capital were all brought up in pampered surroundings, and none of them had ever suffered any hardship.

The emperor thought about it in a scattered way. To be honest, Chen Miaoyi was the one who grew up being pampered by him. In order to show the emperor's grace, when Chen Miaoyi was a child,

He also invited her to the palace for dinner every now and then, rewarded her with good things, and took her out hunting.

But little did he know that she was a girl.

The empress dowager sighed in her heart, thinking that the emperor was reluctant to let her go and was using the bitter cold in Cangzhou as an excuse.

"Then, let him take up his post within three days. No delay. Emperor, you should know my methods."

The Queen Mother issued an ultimatum: as long as she was alive, she would not tolerate her son being a homosexual. If she were to follow the methods she used when she was young, Chen Miaoyi must die.

After all, I am old and can't bear to see my children suffer.

"Mother...I understand."

The Queen Mother was relieved to see that he agreed, but then she thought of something else.

"My dear, I have found a few miracle doctors to see if they can help you..."

You are the emperor, you are still young, it should not be too late to recuperate earlier."

The Queen Mother was worried. Even if the Emperor liked men, he had to have a successor first.

The emperor claimed that he fell in love with men because he could not have children, but who knows if this is an excuse to exonerate Chen Miaoyi?

The emperor shook his head. "Mother, I've consulted countless famous doctors, and they all say I...will not have children."

The Queen Mother felt even more distressed when she saw him with his head down. Why did God let them, mother and son, live to the end, but they had to encounter these things one after another?

Is this the price of seizing the throne?

If she had known what would happen today, she would have become a vassal king with her child. Perhaps the emperor would have had many children by his age.

"Listen, mother. If you are still childless by the age of thirty, adopt one from the royal family."

The Empress Dowager made the final decision and gave the Emperor five years. Since she really couldn't give birth, she could only hope to die early so as not to have to face the changes in the future.

After a life of ups and downs, she is tired.

The next day, Xuanzheng Hall.

The emperor and Chen Miaoyi looked at each other across the court officials. The emperor's eyes were cold, not as nonchalant as before.

The ministers were puzzled. The emperor really changed his mind so quickly. He had just become more serious and acted like an emperor a while ago, but now he became cold and indifferent again.

"Your Majesty, I am concerned about my family and I request to be exiled to Cangzhou to guard the border for Daxia."

Chen Miaoyi stepped out and said, the court officials thought they had heard it wrong, this guy actually wanted to leave?

How could he bear to stay away from the center of power?

"Absolutely not! Your Majesty! Although Minister Chen was born in Cangzhou, he is still the Minister of Personnel. I'm afraid he is not qualified to be sent out!"

One bombshell after another, no one expected that the one who stopped Chen Miaoyi from being sent out was Minister Tang from the Ministry of Rites.

Minister Tang, who didn't get along with Chen Miaoyi and had quarreled with her repeatedly in the court!

What was he doing? In order to block Chen Miaoyi, he didn't even think about what others said, but just blocked her for the sake of blocking her?

Others say they want to be sent abroad, sent abroad! Leave the capital, what are you stopping them from doing?

"Minister Tang, haven't you always been at odds with Minister Chen?" said the emperor.

Minister Tang hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, although I don't like some of Minister Chen's behavior, we are still colleagues. How can his abilities be fully utilized without the Ministry of Personnel?"

Chen Miaoyi also looked at Minister Tang in shock. What are you doing, brother? Are you the only one in the entire court who can win me back?

Aren’t you my political enemy?

Heroes admire heroes? The person who knows you best is actually your enemy?

After a long time, the emperor spoke.

"Minister of Personnel Chen Miaoyi has been promoted to Governor of Cangzhou and will depart for Cangzhou to take up his post tomorrow."

The emperor said, his eyes always looking at Chen Miaoyi. He had selfish motives and promoted her instead of demoting her. The governor was a second-rank official, and Chen Miaoyi was promoted two levels in a row.

More importantly, the governor had to return to Beijing to report on his work every year, so he could see her once a year.

The court officials suddenly realized that the emperor was not going to send him away, but wanted to take this opportunity to promote him!

I estimate that in two years, I can find a reason to let him return to Beijing, and then I can get a promotion legitimately.

Minister Tang was stunned when it saw that the price was rising instead of falling.

"Your Majesty? Absolutely not! Minister Chen has so little experience, how can he take on such a heavy responsibility?

It's better to keep him in the capital to avoid any trouble!"

Minister Tang kept talking, and everyone expressed their understanding. They thought it was normal for Minister Tang to do so. He was just blocking for the sake of blocking, and didn't listen to the content at all.

"No need to say more, let's leave."

The emperor flicked his sleeves and left. He had already prepared a lot of things for Chen Miaoyi to take with him. Life in Cangzhou was so hard, and he hoped Chen Miaoyi could endure it.

Chen Miaoyi walked on the long palace road. Occasionally, one or two colleagues congratulated her on her promotion, while others mocked her for going to the most difficult Cangzhou.

"Chen, Minister Chen, please stay!"

Chen Miaoyi turned around and saw her mortal enemy Minister Tang standing behind her with a troubled look on his face.

"Minister Tang, what's the matter? Do you want to argue or fight?"

Speaking of which, her initial conflict with Minister Tang also took place in the court. Because of their different political views, the two quarreled in the court and upset the emperor. After the court session, they argued on the palace road and then had a fight.

Although the emperor scolded both of them after they were pulled apart, from that time on, Minister Tang developed a new hobby, which was to pull her pigtails and refute her no matter what.

"No." A strange blush appeared on Minister Tang's face.

"Minister Chen, it's bitterly cold in Cangzhou. I have some good warm clothing at home, and I'll send it to your house later."

After he said that, he felt embarrassed.

Chen Miaoyi was puzzled, "You didn't poison it, did you?"

If a political enemy suddenly gives you something good, would you be willing to accept it?

Minister Tang blushed at her bluntness, "Minister Chen! Although we have some conflicts, we have been colleagues for many years.

How could you, how could you think of me like this?

It’s bitterly cold in Cangzhou, take care! See you later!

Minister Tang bowed and strode away, appearing to be quite sincere.

Chen Miaoyi was puzzled, but Minister Tang just liked to argue with her and had never harmed her in secret. She ran a few steps to catch up with Minister Tang.

"Thank you very much, see you later, take care."

She walked ahead, but Minister Tang stopped.
