Chapter 57

In the majestic Astronomy Hall, Mu Xiaotian was still in a dream. He just stole the secret system of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty in that world in his previous life and was named King Fengyang. This is too easy!

Mu Xiaotian was very proud and decided in his heart to continue to carry forward the plagiarism and carry it out to the end. Like Tang poetry and Song lyrics, he could also copy a few poems.

Anyway, there is no Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty in this world. In addition, the world has not invented papermaking techniques. Those who have the conditions to read and write are all high-ranking officials, nobles and rich people, so I don’t know how many talented people among the people have been buried.

As long as you read out three hundred Tang poems yourself, you can ensure that every poem can be spread throughout the world again.

Grand Secretary Chen Xiaojun looked sad and unconsciously stroked his chin with his beard. He secretly hated himself why he didn't expect to secretly establish a plan like the crown prince?

Although the fiefdom of the Fengyang King cannot be worse, the title of Fengyang King is the prince after all. I feel uncomfortable when I see the position of prince pass by him!

Ji Tong, who sat high on the dragon throne, seemed particularly happy. It turned out that because his health was almost gone, the ministers below formed gangs with the princes. The secret system of establishing a crown prince instantly disintegrated the motives of the following ministers to support the princes by obtaining the merits of the dragon, so that their imperial power will be strengthened again.

"My dear friends, what else do you have to report?"

Chen Xiaojun's chin hurt, and he accidentally pulled out a few white beards from his hand. He threw his beard with great distress and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, now that the prince has been demoted, I wonder if the emperor has banned many concubines of the former prince as usual, or given them to a certain prince?"

Ji Tong looked at Grand Secretary Chen Xiaojun and glanced at the ministers. Many ministers were looking forward to it, because the prince used to marry many ministers' daughters as concubines.

Now that the crown prince has been deposed, how to deal with the crown prince's many concubines has become a matter of great concern to all ministers.

Ji Tong's eyes shone brightly and said with great excitement: "I used to be weak. Since Empress Xiao passed away six years ago, the Lord of the Six Palaces has been vacant until now. Now I am back to my old age and I want to become a concubine."

"Chen Xiaoqian, the daughter of the Grand Secretary of Chen Xiaojun, is virtuous and beautiful. I have appointed her as the queen and in charge of the six palaces. Qiu Xiaowan, the daughter of the Grand Secretary of Qiu Zitong, is appointed as the imperial concubine and assists Empress Chen in managing the harem. He was appointed as the daughter of Hou Peiling, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and the commander of the capital guards, named Tuhu as the daughter of the imperial concubine. Other concubines in the Eastern Palace will be included in my harem and conferred as concubines."

"Old minister thanked the Lord for your kindness!" Chen Xiaojun heard that his daughter had been named queen, and immediately cried with joy and immediately knelt down on the ground.

And dozens of ministers were also happy to kneel down and kowtow.

They had originally hoped that the emperor would give their daughter to the prince he secretly selected so that their daughter could become concubines in the future.

Who knew that the emperor actually directly named their daughter as a concubine. This was a great joy of the emperor's grace and glory to his ancestors.

"Thank you for your kindness!" The ministers knelt down and bowed and bowed.

Mu Xiaotian also bowed and bowed, his eyes turned around and looked around secretly.

He really didn't expect that Ji Tong would actually bring all his son's concubines into his harem.

But these ministers were very happy, and even the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince knelt happily on their faces to congratulate.

He knew that at this time the second prince Ji Rong and the sixth prince had a smile on their faces, but their hearts were filled with coldness.

Ji Rong once promised Grand Secretary Chen Xiaojun that as long as he supports him, he would grant his daughter the imperial concubine when he ascends to the throne.

His father and emperor included all the prince's concubines in the harem and were granted great titles to concubines. This move instantly attracted the ministers below, tearing apart the concubines he had originally planned to accept the prince, and win over the ministers who were originally optimistic about the prince.

What made him even more frightened was that the emperor's move instantly stabilized the Imperial Guard Commander Hou Peiling, who had been unstable and wanted to surrender to him, and Feng Tuhu, the commander of the Beijing Guards, and once again firmly grasped the entire capital's army.

Just as all the ministers congratulated Ji Tong, the Grand Secretary Qiu Zitong said something inappropriate: "I am asking the emperor to take back the order."

All the ministers calmed down and looked at Mr. Qiu who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief.

Mr. Qiu isn’t he crazy!

The emperor appointed his daughter as the imperial concubine, but he asked the emperor to take it back and become famous. What is it that he is crazy about gaining and losing his heart?

Ji Tong's eyes turned cold and he asked displeasedly: "Qiu Aiqing, I have appointed your daughter as the imperial concubine. Are you still not satisfied?"

Qiu Zitong said without fear: "The emperor's dragon body has recovered and ignores the government, but takes the prince's concubine as his own. This is not what the wise ruler does. I beg the emperor to take back his orders and put national affairs first."

"Master Qiu!" Chen Xiaojun shouted in anger: "The emperor is the king of a country and has not accepted a concubine for many years. Now that the emperor has recovered from the dragon body, he should accept the concubine to enrich the harem, and then set up an empress to manage the harem for the emperor."

"Mr. Chen said so much!"

...

All the civil and military officials in the court nodded in agreement and looked at Qiu Zitong with an angry look.

Mu Xiaotian admired Qiu Zitong so much that he dared to be angry with the emperor and the civil and military officials in the court.

This is either a broken head or a bully.

Just forget that you don’t want to marry your daughter to this old emperor, but you even dissuaded the emperor from taking other people’s daughter as queen and concubine. Did you not see that others were willing?

They are willing to fight and the other are willing to be beaten. If you jump out to stop them, wouldn’t you feel unhappy for yourself?

Mu Xiaotian couldn't help but shake his head. He realized that Qiu Zitong was a loyal minister, but loyal ministers had to be smooth, otherwise they would be disgusted and rejected by others alone.

The status of the emperors of the feudal dynasty is supreme and above everyone else, and the status of the emperor does not allow anyone to provoke.

As the saying goes, being with the king is like accompanying a tiger. If you are the king, you will be unpredictable. If you are the ministers, you will be trembling like walking on thin ice.

Since ancient times, loyal ministers and famous generals have not been able to die well, but they have only spoken loyally and infringed on the royal power, or they may have made great contributions and were afraid of the king!

If a loyal minister is too upright, blindly loyal, and risk his life to give advice, he will definitely anger the emperor. In addition to the wise and wise lord who is extremely capable of accepting it humbly, when encountering other emperors with less magnanimity, even if you are a loyal minister, you will definitely be burial without a place to die.

The treacherous ministers are just good at saying that the probability of death is relatively small. If the loyal ministers are more sleeker, they may not die too ugly.

As for how good is Ji Tong, the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty? Is he a wise and sage king?

Mu Xiaotian was not sure, but from his inclusion of the prince's concubine in his harem, we can see that even if he is wise, he is not much wise.

Fu Wanqing whispered: "Mr. Qiu, the emperor has appointed your daughter as the imperial concubine. The emperor's grace is so great. You should thank the emperor for your kindness!"

Qiu Zitong stubbornly straightened her back: "A gentleman does what he wants and does not do what he wants!"

"You..." Fu Wanqing was choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Please don't be greedy for beauty and put national affairs first!" Qiu Zitong said firmly: "Please also ask the emperor to temporarily suspend the appointment of the queen and give the prince's concubine to several princes, so as not to make the people in the world think that the emperor is a fool."

"Bold!" Ji Tong shouted with anger on his face.

He was afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court would collude with the princes, so he adopted all the prince's concubines as his concubines, with the purpose of consolidating his imperial power.

As a first-rank minister, Qiu Zitong repeatedly prevented herself from being appointed as a concubine to win over the ministers. What is the purpose?

His heart is so destructive!

The more he thought about it, the more angry Ji Tong became, the secretly murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Many ministers were also angry. Their daughter was named a concubine by the emperor, but you came to persuade the emperor not to accept a concubine. What does this mean?

Do you want to stop the emperor from being appointed as a concubine with a large number of concubines in order to allow your stunning daughter to enjoy the emperor's favor alone?

Chen Xiaojun knelt directly on the ground and said the words that had been prepared long ago: "I am going to impeach Grand Secretary Qiu. Grand Secretary Qiu is disrespectful to the emperor and is disrespectful to resist the order. Please remove Qiu Zitong from his position as Grand Secretary and arrest him!"

Mu Baokun also knelt down and shouted: "I want to impeach Mr. Qiu. He instigated his servant Tian Deliang to invade and seize 300 acres of fertile land from others. Please investigate clearly!"

The censor bowed down and said, "I heard from the emperor that Lord Qiu's son Qiu Zigui was arrogant and domineering. He wrote a anti-poem in Wanhualou. I begged the emperor to issue an order to arrest Qiu Zigui strictly!"

After one wave of remission, another wave of rebellion began, and even it was implicated in anti-poetry. The crime of rebellion was destroyed.

Fu Wanqing was stunned, took a step back slightly, and distanced himself from Qiu Zitong. He was also afraid of being implicated because of the crime of rebellion.

Qiu Zitong was obviously stunned. Although he had known that these ministers had been deliberately trying to impeach him, they actually falsely accused his son of writing anti-poems, which was obviously to put his family to death.

Ji Tong asked angrily: "Are all your reports true? Is there any evidence?"

"I have evidence!" Mu Baokun said with great certainty.

"I have evidence too!" The censor Feng Zhizhu said with confidence, taking out a roll of bamboo slices from his body, and holding the bamboo slips over his head with both hands.

Ji Tong took the bamboo slips presented by General Manager Niu and looked at them. He was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "

My divine dragon descends in heaven,

Take a break in the potential cape,

Once the storm and thunder gather,

The nine heavens are the universe."

Qiu Zitong's face looked very ugly when she heard this. Her son would never write anti-poems, unless she was tempted by others after being drunk and was confused. There are examples like this before.

Ji Tong was already furious at this time. I was the true dragon of destiny. Qiu Zigui actually said in his poem that he was the dragon of heaven and was still thinking about deciding the universe. Isn’t this trying to rebel and seize the throne?
