The next day, it was announced to the world that Emperor Qianwei officially succeeded to the throne. Only then did Jiang Zhe realize that being the emperor was not an easy task after he truly sat on the supreme position. The first thing the new emperor faced when he ascended the throne was It was the funeral of the late emperor. Although the dead emperor actually had nothing to do with Jiang Zhe, the funeral still had to be done for someone else. After all, he was still his father in name only.
China has always been very particular about funeral rituals, not to mention the emperor's funeral, which lasted for twenty-seven days and involved countless red tapes. Fortunately, Li Gang, who was in charge of the funeral, and Li Shuzheng, the minister of rites, were pretty good at it. Being a skilled person among them, all the etiquette procedures were handled smoothly without any trouble. Even so, the two of them were exhausted.
Jiang Zhe's life wasn't much easier either. He had to cry in front of Emperor Daxing's body three times a day, and each time it couldn't be less than half an hour. The problem was that he had no feelings for the dead old emperor at all, so he could only cry in front of him. Howl, this job of pretending to cry is not easy to do in the first place, let alone having to pretend for three hours every day.
There was no time to relax when he returned to the palace, because he still had to approve the memorial, even though he had already ascended the throne. Fortunately, the memorials at this stage were mainly the greeting notes written by the ministers to the new emperor, and there was nothing important.
After finishing the above, he still needs to check the resumes of the officials in the court - he has traveled through time and has no idea who is in the court, and his host - the original King Lu - is not A guy who is enthusiastic about state affairs doesn't have the names of a few officials in his mind.
During this period, there were also some regular decrees to be issued, such as honoring his mother as the empress dowager, issuing an imperial edict to start the Enke Examination in the first year of Qianwei, and granting amnesty to the world, etc. Calculating that he was busy, he only had four or five at most a day. Good sleep for hours.
But in fact, these are all okay. What Jiang Zhe couldn't stand the most was that for nearly a month, he couldn't take a shower because of mourning. Although it was almost late autumn and he didn't sweat much, it was still very uncomfortable not to take a shower for so long. It's hard for people to accept.
After finally waiting until the funeral was over, Jiang Zhe quickly announced that all officials would have a day off. The first thing he did when he returned to Hongdexuan was to take a shower. He had not yet married, so he lived in Hongdexuan and worked in the front hall. He Zhen hurriedly arranged for people to prepare bathing utensils.
During this period of time, Jiang Zhe has basically figured out the responsibilities of the people around him. Zhao Neng and He Zhen are the two big eunuchs around him. Zhao Neng serves him to handle government affairs and has all the little eunuchs under him; He Zhen is mainly responsible for himself They provide food, clothing, and daily life, and most of their subordinates are palace maids.
Everyone has the impression that there are thousands of palace maids around the emperor. In fact, that is not the case at all. There are many palace maids, but there are only a few who have the opportunity to serve the emperor. Jiang Zhe only sees sixteen palace maids now. Four were responsible for dressing him, four were responsible for serving tea and water, four were responsible for making the bed and folding quilts, and four were responsible for lighting the lights in the palace. All other work was done by the eunuchs.
So Jiang Zhe always thought that eunuchs were responsible for taking baths, but when he walked into the bathroom specially prepared for him, he was dumbfounded.
"My servants come to see the Emperor." In the mist, four girls wearing only moon-white palace veils that were so thin that they were transparent rushed to bow to Emperor Qian Wei who had just entered.
Jiang Zhe's nosebleed almost spurted out three feet away. In his previous life, he lived twenty years and was still a virgin. After traveling here, although the maids who served him were all rare beauties, they were also all beautiful when they met.
He was neatly dressed, and he had been busy with business, so he didn't think about sex at all.
Now it was better, the four young and beautiful beauties were almost honest with him. Their smiles were like flowers, their necks were like carved teeth, their arms were like tender lotus roots, and their thighs were like polished jade. All of them were sharp weapons for killing men in an instant.
.In addition, the palace gauze was too light and thin, and the bright red peas on the breasts of the four beauties and the beautiful grass under their crotches were faintly visible.
How could Jiang Zhe, a virgin, resist such naked stimulation? He blushed and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The four beauties were all untouched girls. It was only because of their responsibilities that they had to dress like this to wait for a man to take a bath. However, they were all ashamed and embarrassed when they were almost naked in front of Jiang Zhe.
.
Being shy, the emperor had to answer questions, so the tall and beautiful woman in the lead replied softly: "The servants are from the Department of Shangfu and are here to take care of the emperor's bathing."
"I can take a bath myself, I don't need you to wait on me." Jiang Zhe said hurriedly.
The truth is that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Jiang Zhe just said it casually to cover up his embarrassment, but to the ears of the four beauties, it was a very severe reprimand. They were so frightened that they kowtowed and kept accusing each other: "
The slave's crime deserves ten thousand deaths. The slave's sin deserves ten thousand death."
"What are you guilty of?" Jiang Zhe was surprised by their reactions.
The four girls looked at each other, and the tall beauty replied: "It is disrespectful for slaves to be reckless and stupid, and to offend the emperor."
Jiang Zhe became very interested when he saw that she could make such a show in such a hurry. His lust immediately disappeared and he asked, "What's your name?"
"Back to the emperor, my name is Baili Hongyu." The beauty replied respectfully.
"Raise your head and let me have a look."
The beauty slowly raised her head, and Jiang Zhe's eyes gradually lit up. He saw that her eyebrows were as dark as mountain daisies, her eyes were as clear as springs, her lips were as red as vermilion, and her body was slender.
A beautiful woman with a coquettish physique.
"He is really a wonderful man." Jiang Zhe praised him forgetfully.
Baili Hongyu felt ashamed and happy when the emperor praised her so much. She didn't know how to respond, so she had to look around and talk to him, saying, "I'll wait for the emperor to change his clothes and take a bath."
Jiang Zhe then realized that he was taking a shower and wanted to ask them all out again, but judging from their reactions just now, they felt guilty, but he was really not used to being served by four beautiful women, let alone
There was always a little kitten scratching its paws in his heart. He thought about it and said, "Baili Hongyu will stay here to serve me. The others will wait outside the door."
When Baili Hongyu heard that the emperor left her alone to serve, her neck turned red with embarrassment. After the other three left, her heart was still pounding and her ears were ringing.
Jiang Zhe calmed down at this time. He enjoyed the feeling of making Baili Hongyu shy, and said jokingly: "Don't you want to take a bath with me? Why are you still kneeling on the ground? Don't you want me to take care of you?"
"Ah?" Baili Hongyu woke up from her dizzy state, "I'm so rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"It's not rude." Jiang Zhe examined Baili Hongyu's body with his provocative yet gentle gaze, and said with a smile, "I really like to see you look shy."
This is already naked provocation. Baili Hongyu is also a girl who is in the age of Huaichun. Besides, what woman doesn’t want to be favored by the emperor? Moreover, the emperor is very handsome. But she can’t behave too inappropriately in front of the emperor.
It was solemn, so Baili Hongyu had no choice but to say softly: "My servant is waiting for the emperor to undress."
As she spoke, Baili Hongyu helped Jiang Zhe take off the golden dragon jacket outside and the clothes underneath. Then he knelt down and helped Jiang Zhe take off his dragon boots and socks. Soon, Jiang Zhe only had one pair left on his body.
Baili Hongyu was stunned for a moment, but still stretched out her slender hand tremblingly.
Such a erotic scene made Jiang Zhe, a virgin from the new modern society, blush. He stopped Baili Hongyu's little hand and said awkwardly: "I'll do this myself."
Baili Hongyu nodded slightly, turned away with a blushing face.
Jiang Zhe took off his underwear as quickly as possible, and jumped deep into the tub with a "plop". However, he didn't want to jump too fast, not only splashing water all over Baili Hongyu next to him, but also choking himself.
Already.
Seeing Jiang Zhe choking on water, Baili Hongyu hurriedly came over and leaned over to help him. Jiang Zhe's hand happened to be waving randomly there, trying to grab a support.
Jiang Zhe only heard a moan from Baili Hongyu, and he felt a soft ball in his hand, which was really comfortable. But he immediately understood what he was holding, and his hand bounced back like an electric shock. However, when he was about to enter the water, Bailihong was hit by Bailihong again.
Jade's pink little hands grabbed it.
When their eyes met, Jiang Zhe's mind instantly went blank. He just stared blankly at Baili Hongyu's pair of affectionate eyes. He didn't know how to react, but a certain organ in his lower body could not help but produce a small sensation.
to big changes.
Baili Hongyu was also stunned, her face was so red that water dripped from her face, her body was trembling slightly, her breathing was obviously a little rapid, and the pair of little white rabbits on her chest were jumping with her breathing.
To break through that thin layer of palace veil.
Jiang Zhe took a deep breath. He could no longer endure such temptation. The education he received since childhood also prevented him from allowing his desires to continue to spread. So Jiang Zhe had to slowly close his eyes reluctantly and said: "
I'm tired and want to stay alone for a while, so please step aside first."
Baili Hongyu didn't expect that the last thing Jiang Zhe said was such a sentence. As her shame gradually disappeared, she felt a little bit disappointed, so she had to gently let go of her hand and slowly retreated.
Jiang Zhe enjoyed the grace of beauty in the palace, but Li Gang did not have this leisurely mood. Years of experience in political struggles made him clearly realize that the emperor in the palace who was put on the throne by himself was not an ordinary person. Jiang Zhe
The decisiveness and maturity shown made the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty feel deeply uneasy.
Li Gang is a treacherous minister, but he is definitely not a mediocre minister. He will not belittle himself, and he is never blindly arrogant. He is now very clear about his situation: on the surface, he is the most powerful minister in the Tang Dynasty, with disciples and old friends all over the world, and everyone in the court.
Most of the officials are on their side. They are loyal to their word in the court and have unlimited glory. However, these are all based on the emperor's absolute trust in him. Once he loses this trust, he will not have military power in his hands.
It can only be a piece of fish on someone else's knife.
Therefore, as soon as the late emperor's funeral was over, Li Gang returned to his residence and without even taking a break, he sent his family to invite the backbone of his group to discuss countermeasures.
