Chapter 43 Affairs in the DPRK...

Time flies, autumn turns to winter...

The New Year has passed in a blink of an eye...

In the past six months, Mr. Huang has lived in seclusion and looked increasingly older, as if the traces of time that had not appeared on him before had slowly appeared in the past few months.

All affairs of Cining Palace have long been taken care of by Xu Boqing. The old eunuchs and grandmothers below privately call them Manager Xu...

Even the other palace eunuchs and maids in the Imperial City's harem all know that there is a young manager Xu in Cining Palace who is wearing a flying fish suit and is deeply trusted by the Queen Mother, so he must say hello to him when he sees him.

In the past, I was afraid of bumping into others unintentionally, so "knowing people by seeing their clothes" means knowing others;

Now, others recognize him by seeing his clothes, which can be considered an improvement...

The temple is still lifeless...

Although Xu Boqing was in the palace, he lived in his own world like an outsider.

During the day, I read and study, studying martial arts and exercises in this world, and at night, I rushed between the Queen Mother's Palace and Concubine Liu's Palace in Yongning Palace to submit my homework...

Go to the Tianlao once every three to five to absorb the internal energy of a few scum and refine it.

The days are monotonous and fulfilling...

At first, Concubine Liu only stayed at Cining Palace in the name of visiting the Queen Mother, just for a taste. Although Queen Mother Chen was unhappy, she had no choice but to share...

Later, Concubine Liu gradually became more courageous, and she was no longer satisfied and sneaked out to borrow a place for a private meeting...

Xu Boqing often asked Xu Boqing to pick up things from Yongning Palace where she was in the name of giving jewelry to the Queen Mother, so as to enjoy it privately...

It is said that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger.

Especially this wolf and tiger have been hungry for more than ten years. Now that they have tasted the feeling of being full, how can they be willing to experience the feeling of being hungry again?

As the courage grows, the tricks become more diverse.

The most dangerous one is only one step away from killing the Nine Clan.

At that time, Emperor Yonghe came to the harem on a whim, but Queen Zhang happened to be infected with the cold and could not accept the emperor's favor.

So he changed his route and went to Yongning Palace to find Concubine Liu...

At that time, Concubine Liu Guifei and Xu Boqing were taking a mandarin duck bath there. When they heard that the Holy Master was coming, Xu Boqing knew that he had nowhere to hide, so he could only hide his clothes, use his inner strength to seal his breath and hold it in the bath for a long time.

Because there were curtains in the room and a layer of flower petals floating in the bath, Emperor Yonghe took a look around and found nothing unusual...

Liu Guifei's acting skills are online, and she also used the excuse that she was unwell and having menstruation to be unable to serve His Majesty...

In the end, Emperor Yonghe, the master of suffering, favored Concubine Zhou who lived in Yongning Palace...

Although it was dangerous and she knew that the emperor was in Yonghe Palace, it was also Concubine Liu's happiest day...

Every time she recalled the strangeness of enjoying the water in the bath while the emperor was by his side, and the joy she had with the little thief after the emperor left, she would feel hot, weak, and unable to control herself.

He also said that death is worth it...

The craziness of his actions, his boldness, and his wild ways shocked even a forward-thinking person like Xu Boqing.

It is worth mentioning that Emperor Yonghe, the master of suffering, fell seriously ill not long after the incident. It was said that he was infected with wind and cold, and he almost did not survive.

Although his condition improved afterwards, the root cause of his illness was also lost.

Emperor Yonghe believed that it was due to his weak desire to seek immortality and seek immortality. After that, he became abstinent and became more pious in meditating and eating fast...

Later, it was unknown which alchemist encouraged him to go to court, and he revealed in a vague way that he wanted to build a fairy platform and a dharma field in the capital, and hold a grand "Water and Land Dharma Assembly" to recruit talents, ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters.

He also used this opportunity to invite capable people from all over the world to come to the capital, select true immortals and true Buddhas, and personally confer the title of national master, enjoy the destiny of a country, and receive royal worship.

As soon as these remarks came out, they encountered fierce opposition from conservative ministers, many of whom said that this law violated the ancestral system and could not set a precedent;

There are also some who say from a practical perspective that the national treasury is empty now and it is not appropriate to waste money and people.

Among them, Gu Jingyi, who is over fifty years old and has been demoted three times and promoted three times, and is now promoted to Prime Minister Zuo, is the most vocal in his opposition.

In front of all the ministers in the court, they listed all the dangers of flattering immortals and flattery, and they even fought for the ground. With tears streaming down their faces, Your Majesty asked your Majesty to renew his ties with the people and sympathize with the sufferings of the people...

However, a group of treacherous and flattering ministers who saw the "business opportunity" held the opposite opinion. They scolded the conservatives for being alarmist and not respecting His Majesty's dragon body. Their intentions are to be punished.

Some of them even suggested that although the national treasury is empty, how much money can be consumed by building a Sendai and a Dharma Field?

Let all localities add some taxes and it will be enough.

After hearing this, Gu Jingyi stood up and cursed, saying that there are many droughts and floods in Daliang, and the people's livelihood is in ruins, and mourners are everywhere...

On this occasion, there are still officials from North Korea and China who are making a fortune from the national crisis, and most of the food for disaster relief has been withheld by corrupt officials.

The old man, who was over fifty years old, looked like he was getting blood. The more he talked, the redder his eyes became, and he directly cursed the officials in court;

On the other side, the treacherous and flattering ministers were afraid of Prime Minister Gu's identity, so they could only retort with words such as "spewing at others", "slandering people's innocence", and "producing evidence".

However, as more and more officials were involved, especially after Right Prime Minister Zhang Song was pointed at and scolded, he did not get used to it and directly threw dirty water. He and Gu Jingyi started scolding each other.

Emperor Yonghe, on the other hand, sat on the dragon throne and watched with cold eyes.

He only felt that the disputes in the government were irritating, and he felt more and more that the ecstasy after taking the 'elixir' was what a 'cultivation person' should experience.

Later, he coughed, and the eunuch next to him waved the whip in his hand and shouted, "Quiet."

After it calmed down, Emperor Yonghe called out the ministers and ministers from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites, and asked him about the construction of the imperial mausoleum.

Then he said that he was still in his prime years and it would be okay to delay the construction of the imperial mausoleum for a few years. He would first allocate the money and labor for the construction of the imperial mausoleum to build a celestial platform and a dharma field.

As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked.

A group of conservative veterans even cried and wiped their tears with their heads on the ground, shouting advice such as "Please take back your Majesty's orders", "The imperial mausoleum is related to the fate of the country", "The laws of the ancestors are immutable".

Even some treacherous people leaned over to ask Your Majesty to think again.

Seeing that the ministers still objected, Emperor Yonghe expressed angrily that he had neither increased taxes nor used the national treasury, but had only delayed the construction of his imperial mausoleum a few years later. Why not?

When he was extremely angry, he said, "I can't decide my own imperial mausoleum?", "Do you expect me to die?" Such shocking remarks.

Except for Gu Jingyi, who had just been reinstated for half a year, all the officials in the court were frightened.

The old man, who was over fifty years old, looked even more sad than when he had just sprayed the crowd. He was even prepared to die in court to prove his ambition, in an attempt to influence Emperor Yonghe with love.

As a result, he hit a pillar and saw blood but was not killed.

The extremely angry Emperor Yonghe not only was not moved by his sincerity, but even more impatiently ordered him to be dismissed from his post again and thrown into the sky prison to show his attitude...

Seeing His Majesty's anger, even the Left Prime Minister was dismissed from his post and imprisoned. The other courtiers dared not say anything and acted like quails one after another.

When Emperor Yonghe saw no one objected, he snorted coldly and set a three-year period...

Headed by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, and supplemented by the Department of Supervision, the Imperial Supervisor and other departments, they built immortal platforms and Dharma grounds to jointly participate in the grand event of "seeking immortality"!

Seeing that the purpose of the court meeting was achieved, the eunuch holding the whip beside Emperor Yonghe also shouted at the top of his voice, "If there is something to do, leave the court if there is nothing"...
