The next day was the great court meeting. Emperor LiZong sat on top of the golden hall as usual.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, still stepped forward and said, "ministers, if you have something to play early, you will not retreat."

"I have something to play." As soon as his words were finished, Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, stood up and said.

Emperor LiZong asked, "Zhang Aiqing, what do you want to play?"

"It's a failure for commander Zhao Kui of Bianliang garrison in Tokyo to lead the army to recover Luoyang in the western capital. Now it's a matter of leading the remaining song army back to Xiangyang." Zhang Shijie, head of the Ministry of war, replied.

Emperor LiZong already knew about the defeat of Bianliang garrison in Tokyo.

But emperor LiZong didn't know the details of the evacuation.

When he heard that the head of the Ministry of war was going to play about it, he said, "OK, Zhang Aiqing, play it."

This matter can not be explained in a few words.

with the permission of emperor LiZong, Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, explained it in detail.

Usually, as long as the ministers play important things, there will always be some interaction between Emperor LiZong and the ministers.

Today, however, it's a bit unusual that emperor LiZong didn't even ask Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, about such an important thing.

Zhang Shijie, head of the Ministry of war, also felt a little strange. He took time to look at emperor LiZong sitting on it while talking.

I saw emperor LiZong's head pointing down regularly.

Obviously, the emperor of LiZong was dozing off.

Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, said: "I'm playing such an important thing. The Lord, you fell asleep. It's not serious about military and national affairs."

But he knew that emperor LiZong was sleepless all night.

Last night, as Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, he was really fascinated by this indifferent Ziqi girl.

Two people a exchange, this Zi Qi girl unexpectedly Qin Qi calligraphy and painting countless impassability.

Last night, Emperor LiZong and this Ziqi girl had been chatting until the chicken crowed. He left the brothel and went back to the palace.

He cleaned up a little, and it was almost time to go to court.

Emperor LiZong couldn't afford to stay up all night.

Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, just said for a while, and he began to doze off.

"My Lord!" The head of the Ministry of war gave a loud drink.

Emperor LiZong was dozing off when he heard such a roar and was awakened.

"Zhang Shijie, you are so bold that you dare to drive!" Jia Sidao Prime Minister way immediately out of the class, pointed to him to drink reprimand way.

Although Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, was several levels lower than Jia Sidao, he was not afraid at all when he heard the rebuke from the prime minister.

"Mr. Jia Xiang, don't slander me." Jia Sidao, head of the Ministry of war, retorted.

He also said: "just now the Lord fell asleep, the lower officer just woke him up."

"It's very hard for the emperor to deal with the affairs of the state every day. We ministers should be considerate. But look at Zhang Shijie, who yells at the emperor in the golden palace. It's not proper." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, said: "the emperor is tired. Of course, he has to rest. But this golden hall is the place to discuss state affairs. What if the emperor falls asleep every time when the ministers discuss state affairs and delays state affairs?"

"You are just bullshit. The emperor has always been diligent in state affairs. When did he delay state affairs?" Asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

The minister played, but he fell asleep. After the emperor was awakened, he felt very ashamed.

When Zhang Shijie, the head of the military department, quarreled with Prime Minister Jia Sidao, Emperor LiZong said nothing.

Seeing that the quarrel between them was getting worse and worse, Emperor LiZong said, "I'm tired today. I'll play about Zhang Aiqing next time."

With that, he got up, and with the help of Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, he got up and left the golden hall where the court meeting was held.

"You see, you've made the Holy One angry again." Jia sidaozai is opposite to Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war.

Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, said, "if you are just like Mr. Jia Xiang, you are just trying to please the emperor, then our song dynasty will be over."

After that, he left the golden hall without looking at the prime minister Jia Sidao.

Jia Sidao saw that Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, didn't take himself seriously. He was so angry that he pointed to Zhang Shijie's back and said: "I didn't clean you up last time. This time I have the chance, I will beat you down."

"Mr. Xiang, what happened today?" His best friend, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, came and asked.

When the prime minister Jia Sidao was quarreling with the head of the Ministry of war, Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household, did not come out to help him.

Now listen to him to ask himself, Prime Minister Jia Sidao was not angry and asked: "what's the matter?""Why did the emperor doze off in the golden hall?" Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, asked.

The prime minister Jia Sidao was as white as he was, and replied, "why does the Holy One doze off? Go and ask the Holy One. How can the prime minister know?"

Then the fire left.

Seeing that the prime minister Jia Sidao was not so friendly to himself, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "I asked you kindly, but you are like this. It's not my fault to say you can't win Zhang Shijie."

Thinking of these, he was also a little angry, so he stopped saying anything and left alone.

Today, the look of emperor LiZong of the great Song Dynasty is very strange not only to the foreign ministers except Prime Minister Jia Sidao, but also to the eunuch Dong songchen who has been in charge of the inner palace.

Although he was a eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, he was only a slave to the emperor.

However, he had a higher status than ordinary servants, but he was still a slave. Although he wanted to know why emperor LiZong dozed off in the court hall, he did not dare to ask.

When he served emperor LiZong to the imperial study, the Emperor didn't let him leave. He said that the little eunuch who served him last night would serve him.

After entering the imperial study, the emperor li Zong asked the little eunuch to take a rest.

To tell you the truth, Emperor LiZong was too sleepy.

He didn't wake up until dinner.

"Officer, is this dinner used in the study?" Asked the little eunuch who served him.

Emperor LiZong replied, "let the people in the imperial dining room put the dinner in the imperial study."

"That slave, this is your imperial decree." The little eunuch said.

Emperor LiZong said, "go."

Soon, the little eunuch took the eunuch of the imperial dining room and arranged the dinner in the imperial study.

After serving the emperor, the eunuch asked, "this evening .。”

"What happened tonight?" Emperor LiZong asked the little eunuch who served him.

The little eunuch asked in a low voice, "are you going to the empress of the harem or the one outside the palace tonight?"

"All the questions are nonsense. If you want to go to the harem, you can go at any time. If you want to go outside, you can have fun." The emperor replied.

"The little eunuch said:" this time the slave can cover for you, but it's too many times. If the empress comes to see you and wants to come in, the slave can't stop you. "

If you think about it, what he said is true. After all, if emperor LiZong was not in the palace, the queen would be the most powerful in this harem.

If the empress insisted on breaking in when he was away, as the little eunuch said, he could not stop her.

"Well." Li Zong emperor road.

He also said: "pen and ink serve."

The little eunuch quickly polished the ink and handed the pen to Emperor LiZong.

Emperor LiZong wrote an imperial edict and handed it to the young eunuch. He said, "after I leave the Palace this evening, you will hang this imperial edict at the door of the imperial study. Whoever sees this imperial edict will not dare to break in."

"Holy, the slave will be relieved." The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Emperor LiZong said to the little eunuch, "remember, you can't tell anyone about this."

"If you say that, I'll take your head." He accentuated his tone and added.

After hearing this, the little eunuch felt cold and knelt down on the ground, saying, "please don't worry, my servant won't say anything even if he dies."

"That's good." Emperor LiZong nodded, satisfied with the way.

He added: "you wait at the door of the imperial study. As long as Jia Aiqing comes, bring him in to see me immediately."

"Honor the decree!" The little eunuch bowed and said.

He went to the gate of the imperial study and waited .。

After separating from emperor LiZong, the eunuch in charge of the grand interior, Dong songchen, went back to the courtyard where he lived to deal with some affairs. After taking a rest for a while, he went to the queen Xie Daoqing.

"Mr. Dong, why are you here?" Empress Xie Daoqing asked when she saw Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace.

After bowing to Queen Xie Daoqing, eunuch Dong songchen, head of the Imperial Palace, replied, "empress, I have something to tell you when I come here."

"What's the matter?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, told queen Xie Daoqing what happened this morning.

"How could such a thing happen?" After hearing the words of eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the Imperial Palace, Queen Xie Daoqing asked in disbelief.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, replied, "empress, this is absolutely true. At that time, the old slave was also in the long court."

"Did the emperor not have a good rest last night?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked.Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the grand interior, replied, "it's certain that you haven't had a good rest."

"I just don't know why the officials didn't have a good rest last night." He added.

Empress Xie Daoqing said: "recently, the official family has been in good health, and there is no disease. This should not happen!"

"Are the officials worried about the affairs of the government?" She asked again.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, replied: "the most advanced imperial army failed to march to recover Luoyang in the western capital. Almost all the troops were destroyed. After hearing this news, the officials were really worried at that time. But at that time, they didn't see that the officials couldn't sleep well because of this. Now, this is how to deal with the aftermath. The officials can't have a rest because of this All right

"Your analysis is quite reasonable." Queen Xie Daoqing.

"What about the courtiers?" she asked

"I don't know the courtiers." The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the University, replied.

Queen Xie Daoqing asked, "what's the reaction of prime minister Jia Sidao?"

"Prime minister Jia knows if he knows about it. The old slave didn't see it." Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University, replied.

The empress Xie Daoqing said: "other courtiers may not really know, but the prime minister Jia Sidao may not be unaware of this matter. Maybe it is Jia Sidao that he did it."

"Empress, do you mean that the official's dozing on the court hall is related to Prime Minister Jia Sidao?" Asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University.

Queen Xie Daoqing replied, "nine times out of ten."

"Is it necessary for the old slave to arrange for someone to look it up?" Asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University.

Queen Xie Daoqing replied, "Jia Sidao is a very evil man. If it's really him, you will send someone to catch him. I'm afraid you can't find out anything."

"Empress, what you are thinking about is that if the people sent by the old slave should be discovered by Jia Xiang's people, and Jia Xiang would go to the government to sue the old slave, then the old slave would be in trouble." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.

Empress Xie Daoqing said: "I say that for your consideration of Mr. Dong, the person you sent for Jia Sidao to find out something important. He won't let go. I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to protect you."

"What shall we do?" Asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University.

He asked again, "are we going to let Mr. Jia do anything wrong?"

"What we said just now is speculation, and there is no real evidence." Queen Xie Daoqing replied.

"Where are the officials now?" she asked

"The officials should be in the imperial study now." Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University, replied.

Empress Xie Daoqing said, "well, you can go to the imperial study with our palace."

"Is that all right?" After listening to Queen Xie Daoqing's words, the eunuch Dong songchen asked.

Queen Xie Daoqing replied, "this palace is the head of the harem. It's very normal to visit the officials."

So she got up and took Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, to the imperial study in the imperial palace.

When they came to the imperial study, they saw the imperial edict written by Emperor LiZong.

In this edict, LiZong wrote that he needed to rest at night. No one could enter the imperial study to disturb him. Those who violated the edict would be punished for disturbing Shengjia.

The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, asked the little eunuch, "is the official family really inside?"

"Mr. Dong, look at what you said. It's clearly written in the imperial edict. Even if you have the courage, you don't dare to pass on the imperial edict." The little eunuch replied.

This little eunuch has been serving emperor LiZong in the harem for some time. He is also very smart, and his answer is very smooth. He does not say that emperor LiZong is not in it, nor that emperor LiZong is in it.
