Chapter 392: Being Loved by the Emperor for a Lifetime (4)

"Okay," Rong Xia held her hand, "You are my only queen, the only woman I have ever loved, the only woman. If I can't do it in this life, I will die a terrible death, and the country will be lost in my hands."

Banhua closed her eyes and smiled: "I don't want the country to be lost in your hands. The people will suffer then. If you break your oath..." She slowly opened her eyes, staring at Rong Xia's eyes, "I will let you live forever Chitose, you will be alone forever, okay?"

"good."

Outside the carriage, Du Jiu pulled the cloak on his body, pretending that he didn't hear the conversation in the carriage.

A lifetime of loneliness is sometimes more painful than not having a good death.

As an emperor, it is more difficult for ordinary men to keep such an oath. His Majesty dared to make such an oath, did he have confidence in himself, or was he really infatuated with the empress?

In the winter of the first year of Cheng'an, the courtiers found that His Majesty's complexion was getting better day by day, and even his eyes were a little more lively. When winter turns to spring, when the second year of adulthood comes, a minister suddenly made a report, saying that the Queen Empress has been married to His Majesty for nearly three years and has no heirs. In order to win the world, His Majesty should take in the harem and spread it out.

The minister did not expect that after saying this, His Majesty lost his temper. He not only said that he was obsessed with women in front of all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but also said that he could not even manage his family well, so how could he be an official in the court? , directly ordered to take off his black hat.

After this incident, the courtiers no longer dared to mention the concubine to His Majesty, even those ministers who had the intention to send their daughters to the harem did not dare to mention it blatantly. If it was an ordinary woman, they could still insinuate that the queen was a disaster, but the queen was different. She fought the world with His Majesty and fought bloody battles for His Majesty.

But as courtiers, they didn't want His Majesty's most important person to be the queen, not their courtiers.

The courtiers could not see that the emperor doted on his concubines, nor could he see that the emperor valued eunuchs. What they most wanted to see was that the emperor praised them the most and valued them the most. It would be even more perfect if they won the title of a famous minister and loyal general.

It's a pity that His Majesty acts with discretion, and the world is in order under his governance. If they want to find an excuse to say that His Majesty is fatuous, they will be suspected of rebellion.

Therefore, the emperor is too clear-headed and capable, and the courtiers are not so satisfied.

Since the issuance of Kai Enke's edict, Rong Xia's status among literati has become more and more high. As soon as the spring began, many candidates from all over the country rushed to the capital.

Some candidates came to Beijing for the first time and were very curious about the capital, so they often listened to some interesting gossip from the people in the capital. For example, if a minister wants to send his daughter to the palace, who knows that His Majesty will be very disgusted.

Another example is that someone wanted to please the country's father-in-law, but the country's father-in-law sent out the door directly with gifts, and said that he was just a dude and never interfered in the affairs of the court.

Another example is that the empress is a very beautiful and powerful woman, who can mount a horse and kill the enemy. Although she is not very good at writing, she is very eloquent. It is said that a foreign envoy ridiculed the man who won the big win for being too weak, but was ridiculed from head to toe by the empress.

"The empress said to the envoy, you can't even match me as a woman in martial arts, so you have the nerve to mock my son-in-law? My son-in-law is good at martial arts, how can a barbarian like you understand it? The blind bears and tigers in the mountains are not only powerful, they can also eat people, so can I say that they are stronger than all the men in the world?"

Several candidates listened with gusto, and urged the commoner to continue talking.

"How many young masters are here to participate in Enke?" The commoner took a sip of tea, looked at the several candidates, and said slowly, "Our Majesty values ​​talented people the most, and all the young masters are handsome, I wish you the best of luck." Everyone, the title of the gold list, the top of the high school list."

The judges couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as expected of the capital, even ordinary people can talk like this.

Under the teahouse, a carriage stopped slowly, and a jade-like hand raised the curtain.
