On the same day, Huaide sent news to Ge Lanzhou that he could re-enter the official position, but he had a condition that he should give Xing Lan a status as soon as possible.
Ge Lanzhou is a person who knows his priorities well. Besides, Xinglan was originally her husband, so it was reasonable to give him a title. Previously, she was busy with government affairs, so she just ignored him.
In the second month after the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhao Xinglan, the son of Zhao Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was appointed as the emperor's husband, took charge of the harem and resumed his official position.
Once this imperial edict was promulgated, both those who were friends with Zhao Shiqi and those who were not friends with him fell silent. For a while, everyone did not know whether it was a favor or a ridicule.
However, this did not affect Xinglan's mood at all. After receiving the order, he happily packed up his bedroll and entered the palace.
As his personal maid, Li Jiahe also joined the harem.
It's just that Ge Lanzhou was busy with government affairs and went to the harem only a handful of times. Xing Lan could only see his wife from a distance during the morning court, and they ignored him at all. As for the palace fight Li Jiahe imagined, it didn't even exist.
In such a large harem, there were only her, Xinglan and some maids.
Xinglan held a part-time job and mostly had nothing to do. He often stood in the empty courtyard and sighed: "You said that the Emperor's Wuji Island is bigger than a hundred palaces. Isn't he lonely living there alone? He doesn't even have friends.
No, and no lover, well, thinking about it this way, I really shouldn't have done it before, how could I treat an empty nester like that?"
"You are interested." Huaide's cool voice came from behind the two of them.
Hearing the sound, Xinglan froze in place and did not dare to look back. He whispered to Li Jiahe: "Manager Li, I will remove your cover first. If I am safe, I can talk about my spiritual power and so on."
After he said that, he was about to leave.
Huaide added: "I came today because I originally wanted to help you get closer to your Majesty, but looking at your appearance, you probably don't need it. It's because I'm too busy."
Xinglan, who had already quickly run into the hall, was stunned for a moment as if someone had tapped her acupoints. She kept her back to Huaide and quickly retreated until she was beside him.
He smiled flatteringly: "When did you come, Emperor?"
Huaide said: "It probably came from the time when you talked about the wild boar spirit."
Xinglan: "..."
He began to bite the bullet and circle back: "Listen to my explanation."
Huaide refused very simply, "I won't listen."
Xinglan had a headache and rubbed his temples. What a miscalculation. Why didn't he expect that Li Jiahe would be the biggest stumbling block for him to run towards Ge Lanzhou! If she was left by his side, the emperor would inevitably come into the palace from time to time, and she would appear and disappear every time. This made
He won’t be able to say anything bad about him in the future!
"I don't need any manpower at the moment. How about you go to the Emperor's Mansion to rest for two days?" He began to drive people away.
He must remove any obstacles on the way to pursue his wife.
Li Jiahe sneered.
This guy is really good at cutting corners and killing donkeys.
It was another morning morning. Xinglan, who had been waiting in the harem for half a month without seeing the empress, went to the palace early to wait.
Coincidentally, Ge Lanzhou came early today, and the two met each other's eyes across the steps.
Xinglan looked aggrieved and complained: "Why hasn't Your Majesty come to see me for so long?"
Ge Lanzhou had already forgotten that she had an imperial husband. Seeing him like this, she was about to order someone to drag him down and serve him with sticks. The chamberlain who was following her noticed her thoughts and quickly stopped her: "Your Majesty, you can't help me. This is the imperial husband."
ah."
He thought, it's really unreasonable that someone has been with you from scratch, and you have been married for so long, but you forget about me when you put on your pants, and you hit someone when they come to your door.
Hearing this, Ge Lanzhou was stunned. If the chamberlain hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten that she was married.
It could be seen that she was a little embarrassed at this time. She put her fist to her lips and coughed twice: "I have been busy with things recently and I have neglected you. I'm sorry."
What she said was true. When Kang Le was in power, the foreign tribes were eyeing Da Qi, and now they have caught up with the new king who came to the throne. Those who are interested will naturally not want to miss this opportunity to muddy the waters, but Ge Lanzhou has a reputation for killing gods.
Everyone did not dare to act rashly, so they could only take advantage of her lack of skills to reorganize Chao Gang and make some small moves. Especially the Zhehu tribe, who listened to someone's idea, joined forces with other tribes and prepared to besiege Daqi.
Recently, Ge Lanzhou has been busy suppressing the rebellion and has not even paid much attention to matters in the court.
She was about to say something more when she saw someone in the distance entering the courtyard. It was inconvenient to say anything else at this time, so she shut up.
During the morning court, Xinglan stood at the end of the team, looking at Ge Lanzhou sitting on the dragon chair, like a crazy man.
Ge Lanzhou was arguing with the Confucian scholars about the foreign tribe's desire to rebel. Everyone advocated peace, while she advocated the battle. The two parties were in a stalemate for a while.
Huaide, who was invited back to the court, suddenly cleared his throat, and the main hall, which had just been like a vegetable market, suddenly became quiet.
He seemed unaware. He turned back and glanced at the people behind him, and said with a smile: "I am agitated and my throat is uncomfortable. Everyone, please continue, continue."
No one dared to say anything anymore.
Ge Lanzhou, who was beaten up and down by the former court favored minister standing in the front row, finally had a chance to breathe. She said: "I love you, but it doesn't matter."
After a while, Huaide said: "Foreign tribes have been eyeing him for a long time. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so he should be beaten."
Ge Lanzhou loosened his grip on the handle tightly. In recent years, the Zhehu tribe has been provoking provocations in border areas and frequently invading Daqi. Kang Le could bear it, but she couldn't bear it. Besides, after so many years, the Zhehu tribe
The tribe should have gained a lot of weight compared to previous years, otherwise we would not have dared to declare war on her so arrogantly.
"Dear ladies, do you have anything else to say?" She glanced at the official hats under the steps.
Just now, the peace advocates are still arguing with each other, starting from the financial aspect and failing to start from the military aspect. Either they are wasting people and money, or there are no generals in the army.
Now when Huaide spoke, these people fell silent.
Xinglan stood at the end of the team, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He was the leader of peace, and he didn't have such a broad vision. He just felt that if there was a war, depending on Ge Lanzhou's temperament, he might be able to lead the expedition himself.
If that was the case, he would definitely not agree.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ge Lanzhou slapped the armrest: "Okay, since everyone here has reached an agreement, then..."
Before she could finish her words, Xinglan suddenly said loudly: "I don't agree."
Zhao Shiqi, who was picking at his hands, accidentally broke off his index finger and broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
The string in his head had been tense just now. He was afraid that the unfilial son would do something stupid again, but after all, the unfilial son was now granted the title of imperial concubine, and he could not say anything to him anymore. He had even thought about it,
As long as the Zhao family is not involved, this unfilial son loves to embarrass people and show off, so he will admit it.
But there must be a bottom line when it comes to being embarrassed. This matter of suppressing the rebellion involves the interests of the family and the country. It is also the first major event after the new emperor ascends the throne. It is no small matter. His Majesty and Huaide are both taking the lead in the battle. He has been holding back for so long just now.
The court was about to disperse, why couldn't he endure it for a while longer!
Not only Zhao Shiqi, but also Ge Lanzhou, who was in a high position, also gritted his white teeth. But after all, there were hundreds of civil and military officials present, so she couldn't refute his face, so she gritted her teeth and asked, "What is your opinion?"
Xinglan hesitated and couldn't explain why, so he made a concluding speech: "In short, the time is not right now, it is not a good time to send troops."
Huaide stood at the front, and he could see the changes on Ge Lanzhou's face most clearly. If the court hadn't ended yet, Ge Lanzhou would have rushed down from the dragon chair and punched him twice on the spot.
"Every official, both civil and military, is in charge of the war. It's useless for you to advocate for peace. Furthermore, you have no defensible reason and cannot convince the masses. Therefore, the minority obeys the majority, obeys my orders, and chooses a day to send out troops." This chapter has been completed!
