Chapter 10 Chapter 10

As Emperor Gaozu finished speaking, the concubines of the palace knelt down and said, "Long live the pink face and peach cheeks complement each other, making Concubine Chang look bloodless and extremely bleak."

As if Emperor Gaozu hadn't seen him, he turned around and went to the main hall. Luan Jiaojiao jumped and followed. The concubines of the palace stood up silently, arranged in two rows according to their positions, and only felt waiting outside the main hall.

Concubine Chang still fell to the ground, and was in a mess. Several concubines who had been close to her for a long time hesitated and shouted in a low voice: "Concubine Shu?"

Concubine Chang De sighed secretly, and went to help her up with Concubine Chang Shu's personal palace servant, half of persuasion and half of begging: "Sister, Your Majesty has said this today. Don't make him angry with your own temperament. I'm the sister begging you, okay?"

Concubine Chang pushed her away: "You don't need to be hypocritical here!" After that, she asked the personal palace servant to sort out her appearance and forced herself to the first person on the left to wait for the queen to summon her.

Emperor Gaozu stayed in the hall to have tea, while Empress Miao was served by the female palace people to change clothes in the inner hall. Luan Jiaojiao happily slipped in and leaned into her head and said, "My mother!"

Queen Miao pretended to take pictures of her: "I was shocked, where did this come from?"

Luan Jiaojiao didn't hide, and let her mother beat her up easily and then said with a smile: "When I went out, I saw Concubine Chang. You didn't see her nostrils facing the sky, just like her becoming the empress dowager. She didn't like this or that, and Jiang Zhaorong, Concubine Chang did whatever she asked her to do, and even made fun of Han Zhaoyi and Concubine Zhuang. I think she is a dog dependent on her power!"

Queen Miao said helplessly: "Is it arguing again?"

"That's right, but this doesn't matter," Queen Miao dressed neatly, then sat upright in front of the dressing table and asked the palace servants to wear a phoenix crown. Luan Jiaojiao sat in front of her mother like a puppy, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Later, when my father went out, Concubine Chang immediately started to pretend to be pitiful and begged her to make decisions. At that time, I thought that if my father dared to favor her, I would make a big fuss. Unexpectedly, he was so sensible this time. Not only did he not blame me, but he also scolded Concubine Chang. You didn't see Concubine Chang's face at that time. I guess she wanted to die... I deserved it. Who told her to show off her princess like a phoenix all day long? She was gone in the previous dynasty, at most she was a pheasant!"

Although Queen Miao hadn't seen it, she could still imagine it. She smiled and recalled: "Your father was originally wise and could not hide anything from his eyes when he was young. It was only in the past two years... but now it's all right."

Luan Jiaojiao saw a fleeting sadness in her mother's eyes, and her heart also hurt. After thinking about it, she stood up, leaned into her mother's ear, and quietly said, "Dad also said that he only has one wife, and only one mother can be the queen. In his heart, only one mother can be his queen."

Queen Miao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then her face felt a little warm. Before she could put on rouge, her cheeks turned slightly red.

She pretended to scold: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I didn't say nonsense," Luan Jiaojiao said: "Everyone has heard it!"

Queen Miao couldn't help but smile, took the ears from the makeup box and put them on, and then said softly: "Don't say this anymore in the future. Every girl's family will soon see her husband. It's so bad to spread it."

"I don't want to get married," Luan Jiaojiao buried her head in her mother's arms and muttered in a depressed manner: "I will stay with my father and mother forever."

Queen Miao couldn't help laughing, and was really reluctant to leave. She just hugged her quietly and sighed with emotion: "Silly child."

After about a quarter of an hour, after Queen Miao finished dressing up, she asked the palace servant and daughter to support her to the main hall to pay homage to the emperor. After Emperor Gaozu called up to sit down, he summoned the concubines of the six palaces into the hall.

The shame that should be embarrassed has long been lost, and now there is no need to be pretentious and shy. Emperor Gaozu did not avoid talking about the previous incident, but only said to the concubines: "I had lost my morality after drinking and had a loss of words and deeds. I actually made a move to expel the queen from the palace to abandon kindness. Fortunately, I woke up today and personally left the palace to welcome the queen back, which did not cause any major mistakes." After that, he stood up and performed a family etiquette to Queen Miao.

The concubines in the Six Palaces were very frightened, and Empress Miao hurriedly stood up, put on her clothes and said, "If Your Majesty does this again, I will make me lose face."

After this set of actions, the concubines knew how strong the emperor's determination was this time, and they dared not be lucky and had a different intention. Even if they were arrogant as Concubine Chang, they would sit upright and wait for the emperor's advice.

Emperor Gaozu was actually unhappy to take care of these women in the harem. It was just because Luan Zhenghuan had acted recklessly, trampled on the queen's majesty and messed up the harem, that he had to come forward to preside over the meeting.

Seeing that everyone was alert, he said concisely: "I am the monarch, checking and balancing the previous dynasty, governing the world, and the queen is a little king. My mother is in charge of the world. I must restrain the harem and not let me have any worries. I have repeatedly interfered with the orders issued by the queen before, which is not worthy of being. From today on, I will be in the night dog and morning chicken, each performing his duties. The six palaces all respect the queen's orders. You don't have to tell me what happened between you women."

When the words fell, the four seats were silent.

In the backyard, some elderly people were naturally willing. After all, Empress Miao was fair and treated her very well. However, the concubines who were elected to the palace after Luan Zhenghuan ascended the throne showed a little unhappy.

But no one dared to speak out rashly.

Concubine Qin was deposed and the cold palace was first, while Concubine Chang was scolded behind. The two most prominent ones were knocked back. Who dared to be quarrels here?

Emperor Gaozu originally just told them about this decision, rather than discussing it with them. After the matter here was settled on the first day of the first day, he went to Tai Chi Hall to review the memorials.

Empress Miao led a group of palace concubines to show the emperor up. She never thought that the emperor would return halfway and ordered: "Tomorrow, the banquet will be held in Chonghua Palace and ask the children to come. I will never see you one day, and I am really worried."

Queen Miao responded with a smile: "Yes, I will make arrangements."

Emperor Gaozu nodded slightly, turned around and strode away.

He came here for the first time today and only did one thing, which was to invite Empress Miao to return to the palace. However, before leaving, he remembered the white silk he saw in the space and the two lines of words written on it, which gave him the following order.

The princess, the princess, has been killed by a stick.

A jade pendant fell from her body, the one you have been looking for for ten years.

Just because these two sentences were circling around in my mind, Emperor Gaozu felt that it was so nasty.

Several emperors in the space guessed his intention, and Ying Zheng thoughtfully said: "The prince-consort dares to be so arrogant. Is it because the Luan family is invincible?"

Liu Che nodded and said, "I also feel that this is the case. Eighty-mostly this Da'an Dynasty is a short-lived dynasty. Like a certain political family, the country was destroyed after only two generations."

Ying Zheng glanced at him coldly, too lazy to have a quarrel with the wild boar.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time, and said, "It seems that there is a story between this prince consort and the princess. I have been looking for a jade pendant for ten years... Why? They have seen it ten years ago?"

Liu Che said: "These two sentences seem to have a turning point: the princess hates the princess and ordered her to be killed. However, after she died, she found that the jade pendant he had been looking for for ten years was on the princess. Is it too late to regret it?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't feel like Jiaojiao. She is as strong as a fire, and she doesn't feel like someone who can keep things in her heart."

After discussing for a long time, the emperors had only one useful information, that is, Emperor Gaozu must not mess around, stop messing with women, maybe in a few years, the Da'an Dynasty will die, and the princess will be killed by the princess.

Li Shimin said sincerely: "Brother, if you can work hard, hurry up and work hard, time passes quickly."

It has been a long time since Emperor Gaozu had such a high-spirited moment. Hearing the few people talking in the space, he couldn't help laughing and said with a sigh: "What are you afraid of?"

I have defeated the whole world from nothing. Now that the new dynasty is now established, and the power is in hand, why worry about not being able to bloom again?

He stepped into the Tai Chi Hall and said loudly: "Come the financial and military information for the past three years. I want to see it. Then I will invite the three ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue to wait in the partial hall. I have something to ask later!"

The eunuch responded respectfully, and then ran out to pass the report.

When Da'an is newly established, everything is in trouble and needs to be renovated, it is necessary to carry out drastic reforms.

Emperor Gaozu carefully read the financial and military memorials several times, and then read the memorials accumulated in the hall recently. When he summoned the three ministers into the hall, it was already the moon on the willows.

"The construction of the tombs has been suspended, and the construction plans of the palace along the Chang'an-Luoyang have been suspended," said Emperor Gaozu: "This is the case for state affairs and the people are in decline. My construction of such a large number of construction is not only exhausting the people and causing money, but also hindering farming. It is not necessary."

When the Minister of Revenue heard the emperor's words, he felt like a thunder struck his head. He was surprised and happy and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty's wise..."

Liao Yuanyan was appointed as the Minister of Personnel. At this time, he couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is so kind and has not been seen in ancient and modern times. But since you have decided to suspend the construction of the palace on the front line of Luoyang, can you also release the censors who made comments that day angered Your Majesty's censors?"

Emperor Gaozu: "??????"

The damn man Luan Zhenghuan even jailed the censor who submitted a memorial to suspend the construction of the palace?

Ma De, no wonder he wants to destroy his country!

Emperor Gaozu was scolded in his heart, but his face was kind and said: "It is indeed my fault that he cannot accept advice. He sent an order to restore his official position and gave him ten jars of imperial wine to comfort him."

Liao Yuanyan hurriedly thanked: "I am on behalf of several colleagues, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

After saying that, he hesitated and said, "But in the few days they were imprisoned, Your Majesty has asked him to take his post temporarily. Now they have been released from prison and have their official positions restored, then..."

This obviously involves the internal faction of the censors and censors.

Emperor Gaozu understood, looked at the old fox and said expressionlessly: "Since building a palace is exhausting and losing money, why didn't these people advise with their colleagues in the past?"

The Minister of Revenue, Na Na, did not dare to speak. Liao Yuanyan chuckled and sighed: "It is probably because they are related to the Qin clan. In the past, His Majesty spent a huge amount of money to build the Ganlu Palace for Concubine Qin. They did not speak out when they spent a huge amount of money to build the Ganlu Palace. It is hard to speak out now."

That woman again!

Of course, Luan Zhenghuan himself is not a good thing either!

Emperor Gaozu resisted the urge to frown and said lightly: "Qin's disobedience and disrespect has been deposed by me and has been deposed into the cold palace. There is nothing Qin Guifei."

The Minister of Revenue jumped when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in Liao Yuanyan's eyes.

After the political affairs were over, it was time for the lockdown of the palace gate. Emperor Gaozu asked the two ministers to take the two ministers to sleep, and he also stepped out of the Tai Chi Hall and stood at the highest point of the stone steps overlooking Chang'an.

The Minister of Revenue left, but Liao Yuanyan was behind. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "I remember that I followed His Majesty to the south to Luoyang, and I was separated from my army in the middle of the journey, and I accidentally injured my leg. His Majesty escaped from the chaos of the army with me on my back. Now I think about it, it really seems like a different life..."

"Yuan Yan remembered the wrong thing," Emperor Gaozu turned his head to look at him, smiling calmly: "You didn't hurt your legs at that time, but you had lung disease."

Liao Yuanyan laughed: "I'm old and I can't remember it." After that, he bowed and said goodbye to him.

Seeing that he was thin, Emperor Gaozu took off his cloak and surrounded him, and smiled and said, "I have to rely on my tutor in the future. You must take care of your health."
