It must be said that Zhu Lian was a really good woman. She liked Zhao Heng very much. After not seeing him for a few days, she hugged Zhao Heng's neck and giggled non-stop, talking about the jealousy of the concubines in the harem.
Zhu Lian's breath on his neck was as sweet as orchid, and Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel shameful and evil. He gathered his consciousness slightly and gently pushed the queen away: "Queen, I came here to talk to you about something important."
Zhu Lian reluctantly let go of Zhao Huan, who then said, "I've heard that Commander Wu Ge is extremely protective of Chen'er. Last time, Chen'er nearly fell off her horse. It was Wu Ge who risked his life to stop the galloping horse. Is this true?"
Empress Zhu nodded and said, "It is true. Commander Wu was loyal and protected me. I have already rewarded him."
"Rewards alone are not enough. People like this should be given important positions. I understand. Well, I have some busy government affairs, so I'll leave first." Zhao Huan said and walked out.
"Your Majesty..." Queen Zhu called him from behind, and Zhao Huan turned around.
"Your Majesty, I will be waiting for you here tonight." After saying this, Queen Zhu blushed.
This was such a blatant hookup, Zhao Huan's heart was in turmoil. Should I come tonight, or should I come, or should I definitely come?
Zhao Huan looked at Queen Zhu's expectant eyes and finally made up his mind. He smiled at her and Queen Zhu smiled back.
After bidding farewell to the queen, Zhao Huan felt like he was floating on the way out of the harem, and his feet felt as light as if they were stepping on cotton. Tonight he was going to be evil and wild.
"Your Majesty, what happy thing happened to you?" Cao Dongsheng could actually see that Zhao Huan was very excited.
"Well, Dongsheng, you don't understand. Oh, go find that commander Wu Ge for me. I want to use him."
"As you wish."
At night, Zhao Huan went to the Queen's place. That night, Zhao Huan floated all night long, feeling like he was in the clouds...
The morning bells and evening drums sounded, and the early morning in the city of Bianjing was peaceful and harmonious. People were already busy on the streets early in the morning.
By this time, the civil and military officials had already gathered in the Purple Palace, whispering among themselves. Only Li Gang stood aside, ignored. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he had never been late for the morning court. But today, for some reason, he hadn't arrived even after half an hour.
In the queen's bedroom in the harem, there are many beautiful girls on the imperial bed.
"Your Majesty, I will not let you go."
"Empress, I'm late. Those civil and military officials are waiting for me. Don't let them call me a dog emperor behind my back."
"Then I won't let you go either. Call me whatever you want. The concubines in the harem also call me that. Hehe."
"Fuck, I am the dog emperor. You married the dog emperor, so what are you?"
"I am just a little bitch."
"Wow, were ancient times really that open? How can you say such things? How can you be the mother of the country?"
"No, I won't let you go."
"Beauty is a disaster. I neglect state affairs. Women ruin the country. I am truly a tyrant. Then, let's be wild for a while longer?..."
The bed began to shake, and a eunuch ran to the door in a panic: "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting anxiously."
"Roll, roll, roll, roll... Can't you see I'm busy?"
"Your Majesty, if you don't get up, Lord Li Gang will come with all the civil and military officials."
"Fuck, Li Gang is so bold! Where are my clothes? My clothes! Hurry up, hurry up, change clothes..."
Zhao Huan frantically began to look for clothes, but a palace maid had already brought him the dragon robe. Being an emperor was good; you had to be served, fed, and dressed.
After a flurry of activity, Zhao Huan finally got dressed and hurried to the morning court hall.
"It's over, it's over. I forgot about today's important event. Cao Dongsheng, hurry up, Zichen Palace."
Eunuch Cao Dongsheng had no choice but to trot after him: "Your Majesty, please slow down and be careful of your health."
"Damn dragon, where is that guy? Has Wu Ge arrived?" Zhao Huan walked quickly while adjusting his clothes.
"Your Majesty, Commander Wu is already waiting outside the palace with the Imperial Guards."
Arriving at the side door of the Purple Palace, the path reserved for the emperor's morning court sessions, Zhao Huan slowed his pace and nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, Dongsheng, give me a shout. I love hearing your androgynous voice as you enter court. It's exciting."
Cao Dongsheng took it as a compliment, so he walked to the lower right corner of the dragon throne in the Purple Palace and said, "The emperor has arrived, and all the ministers are here to attend the court!"
Zhao Huan sat on the dragon throne, and the ministers below immediately knelt on the ground: "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor."
It's the same old story every day, but you never tire of hearing it. That's power.
Suddenly, Zhao Huan noticed a man standing there, completely unmoved. He must have been incredibly bold. This was a serious disrespect to the Emperor, punishable by the death of his entire clan.
When he saw it clearly, he was shocked. It was Li Gang.
Li Gang stood there coldly, motionless.
"Sir Li, why don't you kneel when you see His Majesty!" Before Zhao Huan could speak, Cao Dongsheng shouted from the side.
Li Gang glared coldly, "Your Majesty, the Jin army is approaching, yet you are oblivious to the imminent destruction of your nation, yet you still have the mind to linger under the moonlight and spend time in the harem. Humph, the nights are too short, and the sun rises too high. From now on, the emperor will not hold court in the mornings."
"Li Gang, you are so outrageous! How dare you speak rudely to the emperor!" Cao Dongsheng pointed at Li Gang's nose. Li Gang was really courting death. He dared to challenge the imperial power.
Zhao Huan waved his hand. "Li Shaoqing, since I ascended the throne, I may not have made many achievements, but I have devoted my heart and soul to resisting the Jin army. How can you slander me like this?"
"I dare not. But now the Jin soldiers have crossed the Yellow River, and Your Majesty is still indulging in women. Are you worthy of the Song Dynasty and the people?" Li Gang pressed on.
The ministers below immediately became panicked.
"What? The Jin soldiers crossed the Yellow River?"
"So fast, what should I do?"
"Think of a solution quickly!"
Li Gang shook the memorial in his hand: "I just received urgent news that the Jin army has crossed the Yellow River and will soon reach Bianjing. Your Majesty, instead of comforting the soldiers and reassuring the people, is hiding in this harem with its beautiful women."
Damn it, I just stayed overnight at the Queen's. The morning court was just a little late, and Li Gang is still nagging me. But he's right. This is a critical moment, and there are still important matters to attend to at the morning court today. He did indulge in some beautiful women.
Alas, it's not easy to be a good emperor, it's better to be a tyrant. It was all because of that imperial edict that anyone who advises me on how to behave is innocent that I suffered. Otherwise, how could Li Gang have been so bold?
There's nothing I can do. The imperial edict has already been announced to the world. I have no choice but to accept it.
"Li Shaoqing taught me a lesson, and I know I was wrong."
There was a buzzing sound, and the atmosphere exploded. This was the first time in history that the emperor had apologized to a minister in front of all his officials.
"Your Majesty, I, Li Gang, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Li Gang then knelt down.
"My dear ministers, please stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
