Chapter 1566 ****

Zhu Houzhao wanted to be the leader and choose the queen and concubine, but finally realized the benefit of being an emperor, that is, someone would send him any kind of palace maid he wanted.

Zhang Yuan successfully became a "matchmaker" and sent four little palace maids to Zhu Houzhao's resting place in Qin Palace. He secretly sent them in while the night was dark. At that time, Zhu Houzhao was still vigilant in the Ganqing Palace. When Zhang Yuan came over to inform him, Zhu Houzhao was so excited that he rubbed his hands repeatedly.

Zhu Houguan looked at his father's coffin and suddenly realized that it was a bit inappropriate to be too excited on this occasion, so he got up and walked out of the Ganqing Palace accompanied by Zhang Yuan.

"Eunuch Zhang, you are more and more fond of me. You are doing things well. I will remember your contributions and wait for me..."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to make a blank check again, but suddenly he thought that he was now the emperor, and many blank checks did not need to be promised. As the emperor, he could already give rewards.

But the naughty child thought again that even if he became an emperor, he had no real power, so he could only promise many things, and said immediately, "I will definitely promote and use you in return!"

In the past, Zhang Yuan cared about Zhu Houzhao's promises, but now that Zhu Houzhao became emperor, he is not in a hurry. After all, the emperor can give rewards at any time, and it is natural to do things well and be rewarded.

Zhang Yuan was in a good mood when he thought of the old palace maids who were arrogant and even had money collected, so he saluted and said, "Doing things for Your Majesty is the duty of a servant!"

"Well said, I just admire your slave who does things without paying attention to it. Wait, I will not treat you badly. Unfortunately, I have just become emperor and don't have much power in my hands!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he looked around the Ganqing Palace again and confirmed that there was no one. He was like a thief and secretly heading towards Qin Palace.

Zhang Yuan didn't want to follow, but thought that if Zhu Houzhao was messing around inside, Xiao Jing or even Queen Zhang suddenly broke in, destroying the little emperor's interest, and being blamed by Queen Zhang would be a big trouble.

He had no choice but to follow. When he arrived at the gate of Qin Palace, he saw Zhu Houzhao rushing in excitedly. He realized that he was even more guilty when standing outside, and left in shame.

...

...

Zhu Houzhao is lucky to have a palace maid. He used to take the initiative. Those palace maids would have some resistance, and often they could only give up halfway. Even if something happened, they would mostly give up halfway, and cried afterwards, which made Zhu Houzhao extremely disappointed.

But this time it was different.

He became the emperor. Before these little palace maids came, all the old palace maids had sought their opinions. Although the little palace maids were not as powerful as the old palace maids, they also knew the pain of being slaves in the palace and understood that this was their only chance to gain wealth and glory. If they were not well grasped, they might have to go back and continue to be slaves and live alone in the palace for the rest of their lives.

So they all cherished this opportunity very much. When they arrived at Qin Hall, they met the new emperor Zhu Houzhao, and they were able to serve them as their best.

They may not know anything themselves, but after all, there are experiences that old palace maids teach.

Those old palace maids may have been in the same vain all their lives, and they are not favored by men after being old and old, but they know a lot. After careful teaching, even if the four little palace maids cannot be "understand" or at least behave well and lovely. They can handle Zhu Houzhao's love scene, which knows little about men and women, with ease.

This was the first time Zhu Houzhao did something that was completely voluntarily when the palace maids were doing it. And there were four first-class girls at one time, which dazzled him and didn't know how to start.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao was going to the Ganqing Palace to watch the night, but because he was lucky enough to be the four palace maids, he didn't go anywhere that night, so he enjoyed the first time since becoming emperor in Qin Palace. On the next morning, Zhang Yuan took the four palace maids away. Zhu Houzhao then hung his head and returned to the Ganqing Palace with dark circles.

Xiao Jing, who was taking care of the incense, saw Zhu Houzhao entering the palace gate listlessly, quickly approached and asked, "His Majesty has not had a good rest yesterday?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xiao Jing and yawned: "I have been vigilant for many days and I am so tired that I can't go back and have a rest? Eunuch Xiao, don't you even care about this?"

"I dare not, I dare not!"

Xiao Jing didn't know the ridiculous things Zhu Houzhao did last night, and just thought that the little emperor had really gone back to rest.

At this time, Xiao Jing explained in detail the itinerary of Zhu Houzhao that day, including when to guard the mourning hall, when to meet the ministers at Fengtian Hall, when to review the memorial, when to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Dowager Wang, etc.

Before Xiao Jing finished his work, Zhu Houzhao waved impatiently: "Okay, okay, there are only a few things every day, and I have to repeat them again and again. I can't think about how to help me take more responsibility? There are Young Master Liu and Grand Secretary Li in the court, and I don't need anything... Eunuch Xiao, you are really capable!"

Xiao Jing couldn't hear that Zhu Houzhao was sarcasticating him, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are also for the sake of your stability and the court. Your Majesty should understand more!"

Zhu Houzhao was cursing in her heart, but when she thought about the scene when she was having fun with the palace maids last night, the things in front of her seemed to be irrelevant. At this moment, she was already thinking about renewing her relationship with the little palace maids at night. When she thought of happy things in her heart, her expression on her face was not so serious.

"Okay, you go back. I want to keep a guard for the Emperor today. I don't want you to disturb me here!" Zhu Houzhao said coldly.

Xiao Jing bowed and said that although Zhu Houzhao was the emperor at this time, Xiao Jing listened to Empress Zhang in everything. In his heart, he only regarded Zhu Houzhao as a young and innocent naughty boy, so he naturally asked the emperor's mother for anything.

...

...

Zhu Houzhao repeated what he had done in the past few days that day.

He became less concerned about the affairs of the court. Now Liu Jian and Li Dong** don’t give him the opportunity to handle things in detail. They all think that he is young and has no experience in national affairs, so they simply let him be a puppet.

However, Zhu Houzhao became interested in one thing.

This matter is said to be a court affairs, not a court affairs. It involves a court official’s personal ethics issue, that is, the case of “Chen Xi suspected of raping Gao Ning, the daughter-in-law of Nanning Prefect Gao Ji”.

After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he was at the beginning of the year. From the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, officials did not go to work. Any matters in the court would take advantage of the end of the year to send the memorial to the capital before the end of the year, and try to handle it before the end of the year and send it back to the local area for disposal. Therefore, Chen Xi's affairs were sent to investigate before the New Year.

During the more than ten days after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, nothing about Shen Xi was mentioned in the court.

This time, Zhu Houzhao was naturally very concerned about it and was curious whether Chen Xi had forced a robbery of a woman.

The people who came to report this matter were Min Gui, the Minister of Justice, and Dai Shan, the left censor of the Censorate.

After the court meeting ended, the two stayed alone to report. They had already reported to Liu Jian... After Li Jie skipped the cabinet and asked the little emperor to report the matter, Liu Jian especially greeted the people in the court. Anyone who wanted to report to the emperor must pass his level. In the future, anyone who asked the emperor to report to the emperor will be held accountable.

Everyone in the court knew that Liu Jian had the power alone, and no one dared to sing a counter-topic with him.

Facing Min Kyu and Dai Shan alone, Zhu Houzhao asked anxiously: "Two beloved ministers, are you clear about the matters of Chen Qing's family? Send someone to investigate and you must be convicted with evidence, or just make a conclusion based on false rumors?"

Min Gui is the Minister of Justice, responsible for the criminal jails in the world, while Dai Shan, the left censor, has the responsibility of supervising all officials. In addition, Chen Xi is the famous left censor of the Censorate. The Censorate has no choice but to blame for Chen Xi for any crimes.

With the two of them submitting opinions, they first remove Chen Xi's official position and return military power. This will not affect the judgment of the case by the court's appointed officials in charge of the case, so as not to use the power at hand to hinder the people sent by the court and Guangxi Censorate to investigate the case because Chen Xi is too powerful.

Min Kyu said: "Your Majesty, the case has not yet been concluded!"

Zhu Houzhao was furious: "What did you say to quit your post first? It's not that you were wronged by others, right? Now Shen Qing's family is leading troops in the southwest, and the court will easily investigate a meritorious minister, and it is an imperial envoy. What do you think about the world? Continue to investigate this matter, and when the results are found, I will make a decision and see what to do..."

This made Min Kyu and Dai Shan very embarrassed.

The request to Chen Xi's resignation first and then investigate was given by the cabinet Liu Jian and Li Dongyang after discussion. This time, the two were just here to run errands and could not make any decision on this matter.

Neither Min Kyu nor Dai Shan wants to be involved in the case of "Chen Xi forcibly robbing a civilian girl" because this case is very sensitive and it is likely to deny Chen Xi's achievements in the southwest. This is a decision that must be made by the chief minister of the cabinet or even the king. They do not want to take the blame for the world.

When Zhu Houzhao saw that the two of them were not answering, he became more angry: "Why, what I said is not easy to use?"

Min Gui said: "Your Majesty, I think that in this case, you must either let Shangshu Chen resign and return to Beijing first, or find a way to let him leave Guangxi, otherwise... the case cannot be investigated..."

Zhu Houzhao said: "No, don't change what I decided without authorization. In my opinion, the Chen Qing family would not do such a crazy thing. Even if it does it, it would be understandable..."

Even the emperor slapped his own mouth, and Dai Shan and Min Kyu were speechless.
