The Book of Troubled Times

"Where is the yellow robe? Today's so-called yellow robe, in fact, there is no yellow robe for a long time. Strictly speaking, this is not in line with the 'etiquette' that group of people talk about. It's a pity that they pretended to be blind and didn't mention it."

After the meeting, Xia Chichi sat back in the side hall and drank tea lazily, as if he was paralyzed from exhaustion. Tang Wanzhuang was also drinking tea and resting nearby. She didn't look like a monarch at all. She didn't even wait for the "seat", so she sat down without any hesitation. The emperor didn't even bother to pay attention to her.

Where are the monarchs and ministers? After the meeting is over, it is a family gathering.

Suzaku disappeared after the meeting, and he was so angry that he didn't know where he went.

In fact, Zhao Changhe had already vaguely guessed where Suzaku had gone, and could even guess who would soon replace him. The topic he is looking for at the beginning is almost paving the way for the one who is about to come. Subconsciously, was it to help her cover up in front of these two people?

Xia Chichi was too tired to think so much and was replying casually: "I just asked the eunuchs and maids to use the existing dragon robe fabrics to make them quickly. They are very experienced and the materials are readily available. They can make this quickly." . The Winged Fire Snake has been a noble concubine in the palace for several years, and she has some control over the inner palace... It is convenient for us to take over this stall on many levels, and the layout of the Venerable is quite good..."

Tang Wanzhuang sipped her tea and glanced at her.

Indeed, eunuchs, palace maids, etc. are ready to use. Now the people waiting around are all your people. They have been raised for a long time, which is really convenient.

But you actually don't know that the Winged Fire Snake and the Venerable are the same person... I thought you were an opponent before, but as soon as you said this, your rank immediately dropped to Baoqin.

Also, if it weren't for the fact that I recognize Changhe... I could really have made your Dong Zhuo's visit to Beijing turn into a farce. Do you believe it? I still want to be emperor, and I want to be beautiful.

Xia Chichi felt the contempt of IQ and glared back: "I said your surname is Tang, are you still a loyal minister with your disrespect for me?"

Tang Wanzhuang said slowly: "The king in my heart is Changhe. I am loyal to Changhe so I accompany him in the show. I don't really think that I am loyal to you. If you were not his woman, today would not be the ceremony of enthroning the throne, but Rivers of blood flowed from the street fighting in the capital."

Xia Chichi said: "Now that you have finished ascending the throne and you have finished supporting me, you are now my subject in front of the world. You can't rebel even if you want to, right?"

"so what?"

"My beloved, kneel down and take a look?"

Tang Wanzhuang blew the tea foam leisurely and said calmly: "You can also dismiss me from my post or even go to jail. It doesn't matter."

Xia Chichi stared, while Tang Wanzhuang drank tea.

Even without Zhao Changhe, from a political perspective, the current Tang Wanzhuang can actually be regarded as a partner and cannot be easily moved. As for whether to break up the gang in the future, it will be a long time later. It cannot be caused by internal and external troubles now. Tang Wanzhuang really doesn't need Xia Chichi and the Sixiang Cult at all.

It's really sad when the most reassuring loyal minister turns into this...

Tang Wanzhuang put down her teacup a little tiredly and whispered: "My injury has not healed yet. I am a little tired after holding on all morning. I want to go back to rest first, and I am not in the mood to wait for Huangfu Qing to come over and make noise with me. The reason why I stay here is I want to say a few words privately..."

She paused, turned to Zhao Changhe, and said seriously: "I originally thought you would be the one to ascend the throne... But now that it's like this, it's good to think about it carefully, but the plan is different... I'll make a summary of the previous one when I look back. Give Chi Chi... uh, to His Majesty, who has some connections with the DPRK. Your Majesty will secretly support them one by one as appropriate. This will be another group of personal supporters for Your Majesty in addition to the Four Elephants Sect. This is beneficial to the imperial power and is completely dependent on the Four Elephants. Teaching a family is not something for an emperor to think about, even if you are the leader. This is one of them."

No wonder I have to avoid saying this to Suzaku...

"Secondly, if the late emperor has no political legacy for your majesty, it is not necessarily true. He will end the family roots before his death, which will gain the favor of the common people. If your majesty can expand the way for the common people to rise, then it is expected that the hearts of the people of the world will be yours." With... In contrast, people like Lu Jianzhang have to be replaced... This is a long-term game process. What I worry about is that after you gain a firm foothold, for example, once Huangfu Shaozong's army returns, you will feel stable and start killing people. Blood exchange. It’s not necessary. Take your time. The current situation is stable. If you plan on it slowly, your majesty should even give more rewards to these people in the capital to show their contribution..."

"Thirdly, regarding Hebei... the first one we set our sights on now is not the Wang family, but the Cui family. Even if His Majesty intends to suppress the aristocratic families and promote common people, it cannot be too direct. The basic strategy is to recruit a group of people and defeat a group of people. Yes, the Cui family is the one we should win over at the moment. But on the other hand, the Cui family is not stupid. They will know that our win over is just a bridge. It is unknown what they will think about this... Originally, if it is When Changhe ascends the throne, it would be enough to directly appoint Yuanyang as his queen, but now... this requires Changhe to make a trip. If he doesn't make this trip, there may be changes..."

"Similarly, while appeasing Lu Jianzhang and others, you must not relax your vigilance. You must know that they will also have the intention to bite others. You Sixiang cultists must use their secret surveillance functions...especially looking at the exchanges with Guanzhong. This It is also the basis for future actions... cough, cough, cough... But I, cough, I don't recommend setting up a government office like this for a long time... cough..."

At the end of the story, she finally coughed again. Her injury was not healed in the first place, but Zhao Changhe was the first to pull her back from the gate of hell.

As a result, on the first morning, I was so dedicated and dedicated to everything. In fact, she herself is from a noble family...but she didn't think about this at all as a starting point.

Xia Chichi stared blankly, finally understanding why people like her father, who looked down upon the whole world, respected Tang Wanzhuang alone.

Over there, Zhao Changhe hurriedly stepped forward to hug Tang Wanzhuang, patted her back gently, and whispered: "Okay, don't think too much, there's nothing urgent about time, you have to wait for Shaozong's troops to return. , I can leave with peace of mind, right? Let’s discuss it later, you go back and rest now.”

Tang Wanzhuang took a few breaths. It was the first time she was hugged by him in front of outsiders. She felt a little ashamed, but also a little excited.

I can't help but do it when I rob a man in court, why should I care about this...

Her eyes flickered, and she glanced at Xia Chichi, who was sitting high in the chair, and whispered, "Do you have anything else important that you need to be here for?"

Zhao Changhe was stunned. In fact, there was no such thing. He just felt that he couldn't just leave something as important as stabilizing the court after he had just ascended the throne. Of course, he had to watch what happened and make sure that nothing happened before he could feel at ease... When the enthronement ceremony was completed After that, the basic situation is considered stable, and there is really no need to sit here by myself. The first priority now is to treat the evening makeup first.

As for the so-called treatment... I made it very clear last night that it requires double cultivation.

Tang Wanzhuang bit her lower lip, feeling that if she continued to speak, it would be the same as inviting him back to have sex...

I didn't want to say it at first, but when I glanced at Xia Chichi, Tang Wanzhuang gritted her teeth, put her toes on her toes and whispered, "I... washed it clean last night..."

Zhao Changhe: Protruding!

Xia Chichi's face was expressionless.

What a loyal minister, a proper rebel!

Forget it, people like her... are really hard to hate. Xia Chichi sighed, half sour and half concerned: "Since your Majesty is in poor health, there is no need to rush back and forth. There is a hot spring in the palace for water skiing, why not take a rest here?"

Tang Wanzhuang was stunned, slightly bowed her head and did not object.

In the palace... But in her heart, Zhao Changhe just serves the king. Since he is the king, it seems normal to be in the palace...

Zhao Changhe sighed and shook his head at Xia Chichi: "The evening makeup really needs treatment, let's talk about it later."

Tang Wanzhuang's body suddenly hung in the air and was hugged by Zhao Changhe.

She panicked and grabbed his arm: "Hey..."

Zhao Changhe held her in his arms and strode out: "I don't care what you are thinking about with your exquisite hearts, I want everyone to know that the Chief Tang is my woman! Do you want people to know?"

Tang Wanzhuang's blush reached to the root of her neck. She buried her head in his arms. After a long while, she muttered out as quietly as a mosquito: "Let."

Someone from the palace smiled and led the way: "Your Highness, follow me..."

Not long after, Huangfu Qing entered the side hall excitedly carrying a newly cut women's dragon robe: "Chi... Your Majesty, the dragon robe is here. Does it fit you? Uh... where is that damn woman? ?Tell her to come out, I can’t spray her to death, I..."

Xia Chichi squatted pitifully on the big chair holding her knees: "She said she was a loyal minister. Why do I feel like a villain who pulled the queen away with a lewd smile beside the emperor..."

Huangfu Qing was stunned.

Xia Chichi suddenly looked up at her and continued to mutter: "Yes, I will take my queen mother away in the future..."
