Chapter five hundred and forty-one acting skills of the monarch and the minister
The abbot, the Grand Tutor Yuan Zhe, was led by Xiaoquanzi into the main hall. What he saw was the young emperor sitting at the head, and his legitimate daughter.
"Old minister Yuan Zhe, I bow to your majesty and to my empress, long live your majesty and long live your empress, and your empress will live a thousand years."
As an old minister who cherishes feathers and a veteran of three dynasties, although Yuan Zhe is arrogant in his bones, he is meticulous on the surface. He does not behave frivolously just because his daughter has become the queen and he has become the head of the state.
The emperors and empresses above, especially the empress, saw that their beloved father was so generous. They stood up and raised their hands. Their red lips were about to utter the words of their father's invitation, but they saw the emperor beside him who was still calm.
, and Shengsheng kept his mouth shut.
Seeing that Yuan Zhe's knees were about to hit the ground, the little emperor smiled, hurriedly stepped forward, held Yuan Zhe's hands with his own hands, and spoke very affectionately.
"The father-in-law of the state is very polite. I have already said that the state-in-law is my father-in-law, my mentor, and one of my own. The whole family must not be so disrespectful to outsiders and quickly avoid courtesy."
Yuan Zhe lowered his head and looked at the pair of white palms holding him up. A dark light flashed across his eyes. When he raised his head again, he saw the face of a loyal minister, who was going back and forth with the little emperor.
A harmonious picture of monarch and ministers living in harmony.
"Your Majesty is benevolent and considerate of his ministers, but I cannot be shameless because of your majesty's benevolence...".
Well, no one can save fuel, so we all wear masks and act out the story together.
"Come on, give me a seat." The little emperor waved his hand to the eunuch to give him a seat. Yuan Zhe bowed his hands and said politely, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
It wasn't until the two parties sat down that the little emperor looked at Yuan Zhe with a smile and asked him, "What is the important matter when the emperor comes to the palace late at night?".
"Your Majesty..." After Yuan Zhe asked, he stood up again and answered with his hands raised. He just started to speak, but his eyes were directed at his superior's daughter.
The queen also grew up being doted on by her father since she was a child. She spent quite a lot of time with her father, but when her father looked at her, she didn't know what was going on.
Without saying a word, the queen stood up hurriedly, and her eager attitude made the little emperor frown slightly.
The queen still didn't know, so she hurriedly saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I remember that there are things in the palace that I need to deal with urgently, and I hope that your majesty will allow me to retire first."
The little emperor is very good at acting. Naturally, he saw the way the Taifu looked at the queen just now. The little emperor felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he still pretended to be affectionate on his face.
"Queen, you and I are husband and wife, we are one body, there is no need to be like this." After saying that, he looked at Yuan Zhe eagerly and kept saying, "Prince of the State, you must not be so serious."
Competing their acting skills with each other? Who is he afraid of?
Yuan Zhe was also good at it. He immediately possessed the loyal minister, knelt on the ground with a snap, and bowed his head to the ground, "Your Majesty must never do this. Since ancient times, the harem cannot interfere in politics, lest you become a hen, Your Majesty...".
"Your Majesty! My concubine..." The queen's heart trembled, and her face suddenly turned pale.
But when the little emperor saw this scene, his heart flashed with ridicule and sigh.
Well, the father and daughter even acted together. I was still young and could not perform alone, so I waved my hand and pretended to be generous, "Oh, my dear, you are too worried. How can the daughter you personally taught me be like this?"
"Come on, since I insist, the queen will step down for the time being." Being an emperor is too difficult!
It wasn't until the queen took her attendants and her ceremonial tent, and Tingting walked out of the hall, that Yuan Zhe looked away from his daughter's retreating back. He looked up, watching his daughter retreat as well.
, the young emperor still had a nostalgic expression on his face.
Looking at him and thinking about his purpose, Yuan Zhe's thoughts were racing for a while and he thought about a lot.
It is shameful to say that he has been hanging around the court since his ancestors were emperors. He still remembers...
When the late Emperor was still a little-known prince, he, the Grand Tutor who was ranked among the Nine Ministers, was not yet a Grand Tutor. In order to strive for the top, he chose to take sides.
In order to be sure of victory, he took refuge in one person on the surface and loyal to another in secret.
Of course, the only two things I have done in my life that I am proud of are that the first thing is to help the late emperor who succeeded to the throne with good luck, the once-ignored fifth prince, so that I can rise and rise, and follow the trend of my ancestors.
When the emperor died, he was successfully promoted to Taifu and became the auxiliary humerus who managed the court;
The second thing, of course, is to marry the daughter who was carefully cultivated to the current young emperor.
Speaking of which, before the second proud thing was settled, he was still quite unhappy.
Why?
Because he was unlucky! He had not yet enjoyed the fruits of victory, and before he had time to laugh at him, those political opponents who had been defeated were facing a doomsday shock.
His ending, Yuan Zhe, seemed lucky, but also unfortunate.
Fortunately, I won in the new position of the new king. I was not like those who were once aloof, such as Duke Qian and others, who were beheaded and exiled;
Unfortunately, he just saw the dawn of the family's rise, but he never expected that the new emperor would be such a useless guy, and he would be useless until his death! In a short period of time after taking the throne, he first ruined the dynasty, and then...
died on the woman's belly;
It wasn't even late, giving him time to prepare, take another position, invest again, and...
Faced with the unpredictable current situation and the strong rise of Ji Xiaothief to seize power, how could he bear to watch his family decline?
No, he is not willing to give in! If he is not willing to give in, he will always enter the game passively.
All along, I have been forced to make a choice and passively take sides. If possible, who would want to do this?
Therefore, today, he took the initiative to change from passive to active. He no longer wanted to passively stand in line. He wanted to take the initiative to create and create an emperor that he could control in the palm of his hand. Of course, it was not the one in front of him.
Bit, but...
"What on earth is going on when the abbot comes to the palace late at night?"
The little emperor's words promptly interrupted Yuan Zhe's ambition.
Yuan Zhe raised his head and looked at the Young Emperor sitting high up, especially the chair under the Young Emperor. An undetectable light flashed through his eyes.
"Your Majesty." Yuan Zhe spoke up and kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I am here for the important matters of the imperial court's Northern Expedition."
"Oh?", the young emperor raised his brows, as if he had just seen his father-in-law prostrating himself, and quickly ordered to the eunuch waiting beside him, "Xiaoquanzi, why are you still standing there? Why don't you help my father-in-law quickly?"
Sir, get up."
Xiaoquanzi hurriedly responded, hunched over and stepped forward to help Yuan Zhe, and took him to sit on the chair given by the Young Emperor just now. Xiaoquanzi then bent down and stood aside, waiting respectfully. As a result, Yuan Zhe opened his mouth and said
