Chapter 252: Being an Emperor is Hard (1)
Lu Xiufu replied: "Mr. Liu's subsequent affairs have been handled properly and they are buried in the Yishi Temple in Song Junshan, just a posthumous title... I'm waiting for the emperor to decide."
Zhao Dongting pondered for a moment, "Lord Liu Fu is loyal to the country and devotes his wholeheartedness to the public. Then he will give him a document!"
All the ministers shouted, "The emperor is wise."
In addition to the specific posthumous title of "Zhongwu..." like Li Yuanxiu, the posthumous title headed by the word "Wen..." is combined with the word "Zheng...", followed by "Zheng...", and then the posthumous title of "Zheng...", and then the characters Cheng, Zhong, Xian, Duan and other characters. The posthumous title of "Wenxian..." given by Zhao Dongting to Liu Fu is already a very high-level posthumous title.
When Zhao Dongting learned that Liu Fu died of illness, he was a little depressed and waved his hand, "If there is nothing wrong, all my dear friends will step down!"
When the ministers saw Zhao Dongting, they had already shown what they should have performed, so they took the opportunity to withdraw.
The dormitory is not a place to discuss political affairs, they just come to see it. If there is really something wrong, I will also talk about it in the morning court tomorrow.
Zhao Dongting sat in his seat in a daze.
Liu Fu's death from illness reminded him of many problems.
Will the Southern Song Dynasty still perish on the trajectory of history? Will these court officials and ministers also die one by one?
Who will take over Liu Fu's position?
The current Song Dynasty court lacks pillar talents. Liu Fu died of illness, which made Zhao Dongting suddenly realize that he was not just recruiting good players in the martial arts world. To develop the martial arts, the literary world also needs to grow. Military generals open the border and civil officials maintain their careers. It is necessary to cooperate with both so that the Song Dynasty can become stronger.
And just when he was in a daze, Concubine Yang brought Zhang Ru and other women out again.
As soon as Concubine Yang Shu sat down, she said, "Xi'er, the end of the year is approaching, so how about we announce the appointment of the concubine before the end of the year?"
Zhao Dongting was stunned.
Take a concubine? Who should I marry?
She looked at Yunjin and Ying'er's four daughters and found that they were all blushing. She thought to herself, I was afraid that Concubine Yang Shu had just told them.
Although he liked all four girls, especially Ying Er, who would definitely become a concubine in the future, he still didn't want to accept a concubine now.
Le Chan is still waiting for him in Baicao Valley.
During the five-year agreement, Zhao Dongting vowed to marry Le Chan.
He sighed and said, "Mother, Xier just learned about Lord Liu's death and was in a bad mood. I'd better stop talking about this later!"
Concubine Yang Shu was a little frustrated, "You!"
She stood up and said in a heavy tone: "I really don't know what kind of woman you want to marry."
As she said that, she turned around and took Zhao Bing, "Binger, let's go."
Then, Concubine Yang rushed away in anger. Although she was a little show, she must have been really angry.
Zhao Dongting smiled bitterly.
Concubine Yang was so anxious that he was a little worried about how long he could delay. He was the emperor, but this meant that it was also difficult for him to decide his marriage.
When people get married, they only need to look at their parents' intentions, but they still have to listen to the opinions of Concubine Yang and the ministers.
It's hard for the emperor to do it.
However, this still does not change Zhao Dongting's determination to make Le Chan the emperor.
Seeing Concubine Yang Shu left, Ying Er comforted softly: "Emperor, the Empress Dowager is just anxious about your marriage and is not really angry."
"I know."
Zhao Dongting said: "But I really don't have the intention to accept a concubine now..."
When the girls heard this, their eyes were different.
Zhao Dongting was in a good mood, but because of Liu Fu's death from illness and urging him to get married, he was also a little bored.
However, there was something that made him even more depressed.
At night, when he went to the bathtub to take a bath, he found that the beautiful maids who were originally serving him to take a bath were gone, and they were all young eunuchs.
Is this something that Yang Shufei specially arranged when she was angry?
Originally, Zhao Dongting was not very repulsive of this, but seeing these little eunuchs, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Zhao Da wiped his body in Baicao Valley, which made his hair stand on his back.
A little eunuch stepped forward and said with a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, I will wear you with ease."
Zhao Dongting was so scared that he hugged his chest, "Don't, where are the palace maids who were originally serving me?"
The little eunuch said a little aggrievedly: "The Empress Dowager said, since you don't want to accept a concubine and don't like women, there is no need to let the palace maids serve you."
Zhao Dongting was stunned. Damn, who said I don’t like women anymore?
If you don’t accept a concubine, you don’t like women?
He waved his hand helplessly, "Do you all go out, I'll just wash myself."
The little eunuchs did not move.
Zhao Dongting deliberately frowned and said in a deep voice: "I let you go down!"
The eunuchs were disgusted and then hurriedly left the house.
Zhao Dongting took off his clothes in a few seconds and jumped into the bathhouse, his face feeling bitter, "How can I deal with this?"
Although he was the emperor, Yang Shufei was his mother. He had no choice but to advocate marriage for him.
The next morning, after Zhao Dongting got up and washed up, he used breakfast as usual and went to greet Yang Shufei, but was turned away.
After all, Concubine Yang is not very old, and occasionally playing with a little woman's temperament is also shocking.
The eunuch guarding the gate said to Zhao Dongting: "Emperor, the Empress Dowager said that the emperor doesn't care whether she is lonely or not, so he doesn't have to come to pay his respects in the future."
This is obviously the words of Yang Shufei deliberately snatching Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting was amused and laughed and even planned to "escape back..." Pingnan went. He was forced to get married as soon as he came back, which really surprised him.
After standing outside the door for a while, he saw that Concubine Yang had no plans to open the door, so he had to go to the Gongzheng Hall.
He really was unwilling to compromise on accepting a concubine.
In the outer courtyard of the Political Consultative Hall, the ministers gathered and were whispering.
During these days when Zhao Dongting was not in Haikang County, Lu Xiufu presided over the small court meeting. Now that Zhao Dongting is back, they must report, which is something that you can know without thinking.
The ministers of all ministers looked a little excited because the development of Leizhou has been quite gratifying recently.
When Zhao Dongting arrived, the ministers stopped whispering and saluted Zhao Dongting, and then followed Zhao Dongting into the Political Consultative Hall one after another.
Wait until Zhao Dongting sat down and all the ministers visited.
Zhao Dongting sat high on the dragon couch and waved his hand and said, "Please get up with all my dear friends."
The little eunuch next to him shouted in a sharp voice: "If you have something to do, you will start the report."
But no one among the ministers came forward.
Leizhou and Qiongzhou are not large in territory. Zhao Dongting's new policy has been implemented for many days. After the initial difficult period, no difficult events have happened. Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others are all talented people. They were originally important officials of the court, but now they are very comfortable dealing with the small territory of Leizhou and Qiongzhou.
