Chapter 319: Regent

Xu Zifan lowered his eyes, no one could see what his attitude was. He only heard him say whether he was happy or angry: "The minister found a genius doctor and sent him to the palace to treat the queen dowager. If you trespass into the palace without thinking, please The emperor pardons sin."
The emperor wanted to reprimand a few more words, but Xu Zifan had already pleaded guilty, so he couldn't hold on to it anymore. But sitting on the dragon chair and watching Xu Zifan compromise with his head down made him very happy. He waved his hand casually and said in a deep voice: "If you think about your first offense, I will not hold you accountable this time, and I will severely punish you next time. No loan!"
"Thanks to the emperor, Longen." Xu Zifan responded indifferently, returning to his position, still looking down, making people unable to see the happiness or anger.
The emperor glanced at Xu Zifan, and then looked at the Manchu civil and military. Some people accidentally showed a surprised look, indicating that they were shocked at the regent's bow. The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, the regent lowered his head, and the others could only follow. They all had to obey him. He did the right thing to use the regent to establish prestige!
After several trials, he has determined that Xu Zifan is a loyal and patriotic person. As long as he is the emperor, Xu Zifan will not deal with him. So he is now bolder, and this reprimand is another temptation. Seeing Xu Zifan's compromise like this has made him sure of his conjecture. It seems that as long as he becomes strong, even the regent can only obey orders!
The emperor's blatant attack was beyond everyone's expectations. Only Xu Zifan deliberately cooperated to make the emperor even more arrogant. This was what he would do every day during this time. The emperor was less than sixteen years old and his personality was not stable enough. During this period of time, a series of victories made him float, and no one was in his ear to persuade him. I am afraid that he did not realize that many things he did were inappropriate. .
In the past, at least one-third of the ministers wanted Xu Zifan to step down, fearing that the regent would cover the sky with one hand and use the emperor as a puppet. But in the past few months, the regent has tolerated and has no idea of ​​controlling the court. On the contrary, the emperor has become more stupid and violent after his arrogant marriage. It seems that he is finally full of pro-politics, and it also seems to be suppressed for six years.
Any decision made by the emperor must be implemented. Xu Zifan objected several times and was reprimanded in public. Finally, Xu Zifan compromised. Others couldn't help it. An elderly procurer knelt down to admonish him. Because of his emotions, he passed out, and the emperor sent someone to send the procurer home. The official position was smashed to the end. The reason was that he was "losing his honor"!
His erroneous decisions caused a lot of trouble to the ministers. Although there was no major disturbance and did not affect the people's livelihood and the army, the original good errands were all changed. Each of them was too busy. It must be done according to the emperor's instructions, and it is often useless.
This was also deliberate by Xu Zifan. The emperor's shoulder injury hadn't been healed, and his right hand could not be used hard. All the memorials were sent directly to the palace. Only after he filtered it would he show it to the emperor, and the big things the emperor thought of were naturally only those he showed him. After all, he only wanted the emperor to show his lack of ability, and didn't want to affect the family, the country, and the world. It was enough to control the incident at the ministerial level, just to keep the ministers busy, and it was more convenient for him to do things in private.
In short, after Xu Zifan quit politics, the officials felt very bad, and their expectations for the emperor's pro-government plummeted, and he even hoped that the regent could suppress the emperor as before. At least at that time, the country was stable and nothing happened. But how is this possible, the emperor is big, the regent must retire. Now that all the ministers are having headaches, I don't know if the emperor can hold onto the country when the regent completely retreats.
It was another month. With Xu Zifan's spare no effort to cooperate, the emperor already had a sense of domination. He couldn't listen to the slightest words, he insisted on his own way, and even thought that Xu Zifan was an idiot. He was really single-minded for the hypocritical woman of the queen mother. To assist him.
Xu Zifan's plan was more than half successful, and none of the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty had no objection to the emperor. It's just that the emperor is the emperor, and the ministers are the ministers. They don't want to be cut off like that officer, so they can only watch the emperor go mad day by day, and move quickly on the road to the tyrant.
At this time, Xu Zifan received several news. One was from Xiao Shunzi, saying that Fu Qiuwen was pregnant, and he kept the secret from the emperor. However, Furong put a nail in Fu Qiuwen's side, she knew it, and was planning to deal with Fu Qiuwen.
When the queen mother was sent to the palace, the emperor was impatient to see Fu Qiuwen and directly put her under house arrest in the queen's palace. But in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a banquet in the palace, and Fu Qiuwen could not be there as a queen, so the emperor let her out. On that day, Fu Qiuwen tried a way to get the emperor drunk and rounded up the house. She was pregnant by such a coincidence, and it has been almost two months now.
The emperor became irritated by Fu Qiuwen's forcing him. He hated Fu Qiuwen so much that he didn't know if he could treat this child. Xu Zifan knew Furong's methods, and felt that he didn't need to intervene in this matter, so he didn't care. Another news came from a genius doctor, saying that the Queen Mother had been taken care of her body. The Queen Mother is now full of anger and can swear and beat others. No one will say that she is in bad health.
The genius doctor incidentally sent a letter to Xu Zifan on behalf of the Queen Mother, which was written to him by the Queen Mother herself.
Xu Zifan opened it and sneered in his heart. The empress dowager's letter completely lost the distance she used to want to catch, and the sentence was kind as if it were written to her husband. She made it clear that she hoped that they could live together and live together for the rest of their lives. She also said that she would like to travel south with him, choose a beautiful place to build a villa, and when they are old, they will go there to live in seclusion. life.
This month the queen mother wanted to see him. Xu Zifan refused every time on the grounds that the emperor was not allowed to come. She wrote these words into the letter because she wanted to come to the queen mother, but she didn’t want to recruit. She was anxious to win over Xu Zifan, for fear that Xu Zifan would come more and more. The more I listen to the emperor's words.
Xu Zifan touched her chin, and felt that the time for the queen mother to recover was just right. Wouldn't she be able to protect her helpless niece when she returned to the palace? The emperor and Furong faced the Queen Mother and the Queen. They still had no chance to understand their misunderstandings, and even greater conflicts would erupt. Regarding pregnancy, the emperor might not be sad to lose the fetus in Fu Qiuwen's womb, but what if he loses the fetus of his beloved? Will you feel painful?
Xu Zifan personally matched a fake pregnancy pill. The effect of the medicine is to make the woman look as if she is pregnant, and even her pulse will turn into a happy pulse. Then, as long as the woman takes Anshen Decoction, the effect of the medicine will be hedged, and miscarriage will occur. sign. Xu Zifan gave Xiao Shunzi the fake pregnancy pills and asked him to find a way to pass it to Furong.
Qi Hong was embarrassed in front of Furong now. She sent the fake pregnancy pills. She found a good reason. Furong made a simple investigation and there was nothing unusual. Xiao Shunzi had arranged it long ago. This made Furong's heart overjoyed, and she perfected her plan.
That night, Furong retched in front of the emperor. The emperor hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor naturally diagnosed Ximai. The emperor immediately hugged Furong and laughed happily, "I am going to have a son! Furong is our son!"
Furong recovered from the surprise and looked at him tenderly and said: "We have finally looked forward to him, the emperor, when he is born, you must love and teach him well."
"Of course, when he is born, I will designate him as a prince, and one person will be more than ten thousand people, and we will raise him together." The emperor was pleased, and he personally helped Furong to sit down with love in his eyes.
The imperial doctor and the servants in the palace all lowered their heads. The queen was not dead. The imperial concubine had just become pregnant, and the emperor said that she would make her son a prince. The imperial concubine’s holy favorite is truly unmatched. And the imperial concubine did not turn away, as if this was a normal thing, and really didn't put the queen in his eyes.
The emperor was even more happy when he saw that Furong did not refute him, nor mentioned the annoying queen. He hates what loyalty is against his ears. He is not a fool. Doesn't he understand any truth? What kind of advice do you need others to say? If those ministers were as knowledgeable and interesting as Furong, he would not insist on insisting on his own opinions and would not change his decision at all. However, those ministers always looked at him with hatred of iron and steel, and their tone of voice was like facing an ignorant junior, as if he was a grandiose emperor who knew nothing and made the wrong decision.
what's the result? He said, don't they have to listen obediently? The court did not cause any trouble, who said he did not do well in pro-government? In his opinion, every time they have to pick something wrong to refute him, they just want to highlight their own importance and want him to value it. Just like Xu Zifan before, doesn't he always like to refute him? Now that even Xu Zifan agrees with his decision, it means that the decision he made is no problem. What are the others?
The King Regent’s control over the whole situation has made the emperor a habit. The King Regent did not object, so he naturally dared to go on boldly, because he subconsciously felt that it was okay if the King Regent did not object, but he himself did not notice this trust. And dependence, this can be regarded as Xu Zifan invisibly cheating him, and it is still a psychological loophole.
The news that the imperial concubine was pregnant spread throughout the palace in the blink of an eye. The emperor rewarded everyone with a year's monthly money, and asked everyone to pray for the imperial concubine and the little prince, which really lifted their mother and child to the sky.
Fu Qiuwen was waiting for her meal in the bedroom, but she waited and waited only for the porridge and small dishes, which she immediately questioned. The maid who went to serve the meal said with tears: "The queen, the people in the royal dining room are celebrating, saying that there is no time to open the stove. These are already on the stove, so they are directly asked to bring the slaves..."
"Presumptuous! Who gave them the courage? What are they celebrating?"
"Celebrate...Celebrate the imperial concubine's pregnancy..."
"What?" Fu Qiuwen stood up abruptly, her eyes widened in disbelief, and her right hand subconsciously stroked her abdomen, "She is pregnant? How could she be pregnant? Didn't the doctor say that her body is not easy to get pregnant? You can ask clearly. Is that really pregnant?"
"Niangniang, you can't be wrong. The people in the palace all get a year's worth of monthly money. It is the emperor's reward, asking the palace people to pray for the imperial concubine and the little prince." The palace maid replied, dare not to conceal it, and said this. The face is pale.
In the next moment, all the porridge and small dishes fell on the lady of the court, and Fu Qiuwen furiously smashed everything on her hand, "Too much bullying! Bitch! You can't die!"
