Beloved Husband

Chapter 58 The Emperor (8)

Yan Jing did a lot of things in the palace, and Chu Tingxiu met many people outside the palace.

Many people in the DPRK were dissatisfied with being "oppressed" by his martial artist. From time to time, people met him in the court hall. In fact, his usual life was not very good, and the soldiers of the Zhenbei army who stayed with him in the capital were also unhappy.

As soon as he left the palace, he went to the military camp outside the city to see his soldiers.

"General, when can we go back?" Chu Tingxiu's adjutant asked Chu Tingxiu.

Most of them are natives from the North, and their families are also in the North. They have always wanted to go back.

"I'll make arrangements for you. You will go back to visit relatives in batches." Chu Tingxiu thought for a while.

He wanted them to bring his family back, but he thought that he was entangled with the emperor and he didn't know what would happen in the future, so he didn't dare to make such a decision.

Chu Tingxiu's adjutant knew nothing and was very happy.

There were only a few thousand soldiers and horses Chu Tingxiu stayed in the capital, but they were all elites.

He stayed in the barracks for a while and rode back home.

When I returned to Chu's house, it was already afternoon.

Chu Tingxiu stopped at the door and looked at the door of the house, a little afraid to enter.

His grandfather is an orphan. Many years ago, Emperor Taizu gave his grandfather a roast chicken and asked his grandfather to follow Emperor Taizu to fight the world.

During the war, his grandfather had several women and had several children, but only his father survived, and his father only had two children, one is him and the other is his sister.

Before he realized that he liked men, he felt ashamed of the Chu family's ancestors.

Now this feeling is even worse.

He is already with Your Majesty. If this matter is known, he might be infamy and become a fluke.

If your Majesty gets tired of him one day, he will not end well, and the family may also be affected by him.

What's more, his sister Ting Lan also likes Yan Jingze.

Chu Ting corrected her entanglement and saw her sister.

Chu Tinglan didn't sleep all night. Although she had a rest this morning, she heard that her brother was out of the palace, so she immediately got up and waited. She didn't want Chu Tingxiu to go to the barracks, but returned after a long time.

Because of waiting anxiously, Chu Tinglan couldn't help but feel angry, but when she saw Chu Tingxiu, she still made a delicate and weak appearance: "Brother, you are finally back."

"Yeah." Chu Tingxiu replied, and shame came to his heart again.

"Brother, you didn't return all night last night, I am very worried." Chu Tinglan looked at Chu Tingxiu worriedly.

Chu Tinglan and Chu Tingxiu have no deep feelings.

Her mother was a young lady in the family. She had a childhood sweetheart, but the first emperor made an imperial decree and gave her mother a marriage to the father who died of his first wife.

Her mother was forced to marry Beidi and lived there for three years before giving birth to her.

She was very weak when she was born, and her mother finally found an excuse to take her back to Beijing to live, and they never went to the Northland again.

She remembered that she had only met her father once, and the first time she had met her brother a year and a half ago. It was naturally difficult for her to have a deep sibling relationship.

Now she is so concerned about her brother, just because she wants to do something for her beloved.

Three years ago, when her elder brother was fighting outside, a boy of Zhou's family stared at her. In order to win her brother, the Queen Mother wanted to marry her to that boy.

That dude's fat head and big ears are annoying, of course she is unwilling. She doesn't want to go out to the Lantern Festival with her close friends in the Lantern Festival, but was fooled by her close friends to the dude's boat, and was almost insulted.

It was King Ping who saved him.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was still there, and King Ping could not protect herself, but she still tried her best to deal with her so that she could not marry the dude.

Her heart fell on King Ping.

Both King Ping and Jinshang are the sons of the first emperor. King Ping is far better than Jinshang. It was Jinshang who became the emperor in the end. Jinshang was not pleasing to the eyes of King Ping because of his excellent performance...

Knowing that King Ping wanted her brother's support, she volunteered to help King Ping, but unfortunately her brother only wanted to take over the power and was unwilling to take advantage of King Ping. He was still in court against King Ping.

Her brother even wanted to marry her to Jin Shang.

Her mother has passed away and cannot be the master of her marriage. She can only listen to her brother... She thought, since her brother wants her to marry Jinshang, then she will be married!She even thought, if she could kill Jin Shang, in the end this world would belong to King Ping!

"I'm okay." Chu Ting cultivated.

"Big brother, you were injured when you came back late, this time..." Chu Tinglan didn't seem to be comforted.

Chu Tingxiu was even more guilty.

"Did your majesty do something?" Chu Tinglan asked.

Chu Ting Xiu said: "Your Majesty did nothing. Ting Lan, think about your marriage. If you have someone you like, just tell me."

Chu Tingxiu had said this before, and now she is bringing it up again... Chu Tinglan said, "Big brother, don't you want me to marry your majesty?" It was clear that her brother wanted her to marry your majesty before, so she went smoothly. , Said he likes your majesty.

"When did I think about it?" Chu Tingxiu was taken aback.From the very beginning, he never thought of letting His Majesty and his sister get married, but the people around him suggested that. His sister also liked her, he could only recognize it.

Chu Tinglan didn't know why Chu Tingxiu changed his decision. She was a little anxious, but couldn't help but said, "Then what if I want to marry King Ping?"

Chu Tingxiu frowned: "Ping Wang is not a good match."

Chu Tingxiu had a bad impression of King Ping. He could feel that King Ping had a force in his hands. These people were not good at Yanjing. More importantly, although King Ping did not marry a princess, he already had a concubine.

Chu Tinglan lowered her head and said nothing.

Chu Tingxiu said again: "Ting Lan, think about it... if you want, it's okay to recruit extravagance." In the North, it is not uncommon for women to recruit their husbands and stand on their own.

Chu Tinglan laughed angrily. What kind of person could she find?Her brother just can't see her!

Chu Tinglan left angrily.

Chu Tingxiu stood there, not knowing why.

At night, Chu Tingxiu wanted to enter the palace, but after thinking about it, he didn't go.

Staying in the palace every day is not good for your majesty's reputation.

Chu Tingxiu didn't enter the palace, so he prepared a table of dishes, and finally could only enjoy the food alone.

Waiting for tomorrow, he will make Chu Ting Xiu look good!

Early morning on the second day.

Yan Jing sat on the dragon chair, staring at Chu Tingxiu.

Chu Tingxiu was stared uncomfortably.

The political affairs discussed were similar, and even the things discussed the day before yesterday were discussed by the ministers. In the end, Chu Tingxiu quickly cut the mess and set the regulations.

Then... the courtier began to talk about things after Li.

Before Chu Tingxiu mentioned this matter, he either didn't say a word, or after many people mentioned it, he followed up with some persuasion.

But today...

As soon as someone brought it up, Chu Tingxiu said, "Your Majesty is still young, so there is no rush for the future."

When Chu Tingxiu's words came out, everyone was stunned.

Your Majesty is still young?Where is he young?!

Your Majesty is twenty one!Unless it is a poor family who cannot afford to marry a wife or is filial, most men at this age are basically married!

At the time of your Majesty’s 14th Five-Year Plan, someone had already mentioned that he wanted him to be a queen. It was the Queen Mother who stopped him. But now that the Queen Mother is no longer there, Chu Tingxiu stopped him again?

Many ministers in the court glared at Chu Tingxiu.

Chu Tingxiu didn't care about them, and immediately said, "It's an important thing to do, and you can't make it lightly!" He hadn't been with your Majesty before, and for the sake of your Majesty, he naturally hoped that your Majesty would be here. Now it is different.

As long as your majesty does not change his mind, he will try his best to stop it.

If one day your Majesty changes his mind and wants to stand up again... When the time comes, he will be punished with the charge of "stopping your majesty and not letting him stand up", he has nothing to say.

It's always my own choice.

He just wants to live a little bit easier these days.

"General Chu, what motives do you have for not letting your Majesty stand!" Someone looked at Chu Tingxiu angrily.

Yan Jing was already exuberant when Chu Tingxiu spoke, and he felt that Chu Tingxiu was a little stupid. He said that, it was easy to be besieged...

Yan Jing quickly motioned to Wang Zhong with his eyes.

Wang Zhong went to motion to others again.

The ministers did not pay attention to Yan Jingze's eyes. At this moment, whether it was the Imperial Party, the Pingwang Party, or the Queen Mother Party, they all stared at Chu Tingxiu and analyzed what Chu Tingxiu meant.

Chu Tingxiu stood there without saying a word.

Just at this moment, a little eunuch ran in, fell to his knees, and said with a cry: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager... collapsed."

Yan Jing stood up quickly and said sadly: "The emperor's grandmother..."

His figure shook, and then he was held back by someone, and sat down again, covering his face with his sleeves so that no one would see that there was no sad expression on his face.

Everyone knows that he and the Empress Dowager are as deep as the sea, but filial piety is important in this era. He has to act, which is quite boring...

Yan Jing was thinking this way when he heard King Ping crying out: "Grandma..."

Yan Jingze: "..." This person is better than him.

The hapless empress dowager was gone in the morning.

The person who reported the funeral was specially arranged by Yanjing Ze. He originally wanted to let people report the funeral in the morning, and then it was logical to keep filial piety. For the time being, Chu Tingxiu suddenly jumped out and refused to allow him to stand. Really unexpected.

And now, as expected, no one talked about the immediate future.

The empress dowager died so suddenly that even many ministers who had watched the empress dowager's beauty for decades felt unreality, but they felt that it should be the case—the empress dowager was not young.

No matter what the empress dowager has done before, she is the empress dowager. Now that she is dead, the emperor will give her a guard. At the same time, all the officials must get busy and do funerals for her.

These things, Yan Jing excuses heartbreak and physical discomfort, not participating at all.

He also called Chu Tingxiu: "You are so stupid that you said that in the court today... Look, you are being scolded!"

Chu Tingxiu said nothing.

"Now that the Queen Mother is dead, I plan to keep my filial piety for three years. In these three years, I won't have to pay attention to those who made me stand up. After three years, I have to see, who else would dare not listen to me."

In the previous dynasty, there were emperors who did not go to court for ten years, and there were also emperors who snatched other people's wives into the palace, and they were still the emperor.

As long as he gets rid of the restless elements of King Ping and secures the throne, he will not believe others and dare to question him.
