Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 676: Bombardment of the Golden Palace

In the Jinluan Hall, Xiahou Di was sitting on a dragon chair, with Uncle Wang at his side. The ministers were lined up on the left and right, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

Many people are beating the drum in their hearts.

After all, this empress came to power in a military coup. Ji Wuyou is still in prison. All the emperor's cronies in the former Prince's Mansion and various gardens were killed. It is not known that it was the empress who gave the order. It was Xue Mu who did it behind her back. In fact, many people think that it should be Xia Houdi who gave the order. Once she makes up her mind to do something, she is more ruthless than many people and fully possesses the qualities of an emperor. In contrast, Xue Mu is a bit more merciful and soft...

At this moment, all the court officials who had had deep entanglements with Ji Wuyou were imprisoned. Even the position of Prime Minister, the head of the hundred officials, was vacant. They said they were retiring, but no one saw them off.

As for Ji Wuyou, many people doubted that he would survive tonight, probably because of the three-foot white silk.

No one dared to say a word for him. Everyone was afraid that the Queen's butcher's knife would strike him on the head. After all, when Ji Wuyou was the emperor, who among the normal officials did not have some involvement with him? How many people have never expressed their loyalty?

Uncle Wang... is now the empress' close confidant, Eunuch Wang, the great eunuch. He is reading out the reward. The first sentence is: "Xue Mu, the Marquis of Changxin, who is loyal to the country and has made great contributions to the world. He is bestowed with the rank of Duke Luding and is granted the title of Ten Thousand Households." …”

People quietly turned to look at Xue Mu, only to see Xue Mu open his mouth in shock, as if he wanted to say something but shook his head in confusion.

In this life, the title of Viscount has been constantly associated with fake eunuchs, right... Forget it, Sir Wei's title is still pretty good.

The prince paused for a moment, and then continued to read: "...Add Zuo Xiangguo to take charge of all military affairs in the world. Grant the former Prince Qi's palace to be the Duke of Luding, and give him a python robe and a jade belt. He can enter the palace immediately without the need for a general communication. There is no need to enter the court. Go up to the palace with swords and shoes, and sit in front of the palace."

Soon a eunuch brought a chair and placed it next to Xue Mu with a bow and a nod. Xue Mu sat down comfortably and felt very happy when he saw the officials bowing their heads and not daring to speak.

Xia Houdi now clearly said that he shares the world with you.

Oh, it also said clearly that the palace is open to you, waiting for you to come.

In fact, the courtiers also knew that this was the proper meaning of the question. Regardless of the affair between the empress and Xue Mu, with Xue Mu's current power, there was no problem if she wanted to have a baby and be the regent. He didn't make any demands in this regard. Of course Xia Houdi should give it himself. No one dared to have any objections to what he gave.

What's more, these two are obviously full of adultery, and there is nothing to say about the left hand and the right hand.

"Respect the Empress Dowager Liu as the Cisheng Empress Dowager."

"Lingzhou was merged into Yizhou and changed to the prefecture of Yizhou. The Xingyue Sect was located in Yizhou, Xushi Dingshi Town, and was listed as one of the eight major sects. The leader of the Xingyue Sect was granted the title of Marquis forever. The former governor of Yizhou, Huang Yongkun, was dismissed from his post for questioning and moved to Lingzhou The county governor Zhang Bailing is the governor of Yizhou."

"Weisu Hou Xuanzhe will lead the six gates as the chief arrester, and the jade brand arrester Tie Rushan will serve as a supplement. The six gates will be filled up step by step."

"There was a sudden change in the capital last night. The body of the City Defense Department was left alone, and the commander was removed from his post for questioning. Chu Tianming, the head of the Secret Intelligence Department, arrested the head of Liumen Jade Sign and temporarily took charge of the city defense inspection."

"Let the prince be the commander of the Shadow Guards and temporarily the commander of the Imperial Guards. When the masked competition is decided, the winner will lead the Imperial Guards."

"Li Xiaolin is still the general manager of the palace and the director of the worship hall."

"Li Yingqing will temporarily act as the chief traffic officer of the world."

"Chen Qianzhen will temporarily act as editor-in-chief of newspapers and periodicals all over the world, and Xingyue Zong Li Xiaorui will be transferred to Beijing to be in charge of entertainment and publicity affairs with Ai Xiaoxiao."

"The remaining positions will be vacant and will be recommended by the Ministry of Personnel, and a date will be decided."

"In three days' time, a ceremony to congratulate the sects of the world will be held."

Liumen, the General Administration of Transport, and the editor-in-chief of the publication were all Xiahoudi's personal responsibilities. In addition, he also had to assist the country and go to court. He had unlimited energy. Xue Mu didn't even know how this guy managed it. Gotta come over. Now that everything has been broken down, I can peacefully start a promising career as emperor.

As the words were read out one by one, people slowly relaxed in their hearts. Except for Governor Huang of Yizhou and the commander of the city defense department who were removed from their posts for questioning, all the officials present here remained in their original posts, and all of them received rewards, at least some gold and silver. Even the old nobles have left the foundation to let the winner of the masked competition be the leader to win the hearts and minds of this group.

This is a very typical way for the new king to calm people's hearts when he succeeds to the throne, and there is no sign of high-pressure and terror.

The officials, who had completely let go of their heavy hearts, stood up and worshiped: "Long live my emperor..."

Seeing the ministers salute Shanhu, Xia Houdi's eyes moved slightly and looked at Xue Mu.

Xue Mu was also looking at her.

The two people looked at each other as if they had experienced a thousand words.

Things in this world...are really like a dream.

………

On the first day of stabilizing the government and the public, the layout of the country had not yet begun. All the officials dispersed, but Xue Mu did not leave.

With a teasing smile, Wang Bodu led the eunuchs and maids to stay away from each other and secretly guarded all the roads near the Jinluan Palace.

The only ones left in the hall were Xia Houdi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and Xue Mu, who was sitting not far from her.

The two looked at each other quietly and smiled at the same time after a long time.

Xue Mu smiled and said: "Sitting down here looking at you like this, my face is a little blurry. Listening to the people's shouts, it feels very far away and unreal. Sitting here today, I have been feeling a little dazed. This queen sitting up there is really Is he the chief catcher I know?"

"Isn't this your goal all along? Now it's reversed."

"I'm afraid you will really become far away."

Xia Houdi shook his head and said: "On the throne, the sense of distance and looking up is deliberately created, but in order to deepen the majesty of the emperor. In fact, the majesty is not created by this trick, and how can it become distant because of this? How can you be like a mortal? See?"

"I am a mortal. Even if I know many things, I cannot escape the feelings of a mortal when I face them directly." Xue Mu stood up and walked closer: "I still want to see you up close."

Xia Houdi bit his lower lip: "Then...come closer."

In the empty hall, Xue Mu's leather boots stepped on it. Step by step, there was a "shuddering" echo. Every time she stepped closer, Xiahou Di's heartbeat became faster. She subconsciously pinched the armrests on both sides of the dragon chair. The originally serious face when he went to court slowly began to turn red.

Xue Mu stood in front of her.

Xia Houdi looked up and whispered: "This means I am looking up to you."

Xue Mu raised her chin, and Xia Houdi didn't resist at all. She looked into his eyes quietly, the meaning of which was unclear.

She whispered: "I know your bad taste. In Wenjian Sect, you messed around with Mu Jianli in the sect leader Wenjian Pavilion. In Qixuan Valley, you also messed up with Mo Xuexin in their sect's important place...that way Are you satisfied?"

Xue Mu laughed: "I've been told that I'm just an ordinary person. Who doesn't think so?"

"So you plan to ask for me in the Golden Palace, on the dragon throne?"

"The dragon chair is very wide." Xue Mu slowly lowered his head and kissed her sexy lips.

Xia Houdi squeezed the armrest nervously and said hastily: "I was just temporarily angry last night...it doesn't mean I can talk to you casually...wu..."

Xue Mu directly blocked her red lips, and the two of them slowly leaned back unconsciously during the kiss and lay down on the wide dragon chair.

"I once said that I wanted to get the emperor and let you and I get married..." Xue Mu separated slightly and whispered: "Now I am here to get the emperor...Does your majesty allow Xiahou Di and Xue Mu to get married?"

Xia Houdi's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes became increasingly misty. After panting for a while, he whispered: "What if I...what if I don't allow it?"

"Then I will teach this queen a lesson..." Xue Mu whispered in his ear: "Teach her a lesson until she agrees."

Xia Houdi subconsciously grabbed his hand and looked around nervously: "Can you change the place..."

"This is revenge...for the bad woman who planned to assassinate me when we first met."

"You are a narrow-minded man who will seek revenge...you bastard!"

"Marriage? Your Majesty?"

"What kind of marriage is there? The face of the Zhou Dynasty has been suppressed by you..."
