Chapter 179: The Empress's Confidant

After a short time, when he arrived outside the main hall where Empress Dugu was resting, the little eunuch went in to pass the ceremony, Yang Ze stood outside the hall and waited.

In the main hall, Empress Dugu was lying on the dragon couch, her eyes closed, and two young people beside her were serving her, one was pressing her head, and the other was beating her legs.

These two young people are about twenty years old, and they are very beautiful, and even some of them are slightly male and female, just in terms of appearance, they are a little feminine, and they are absolutely white-faced. While serving the Dugu Empress, the two young men were talking to her softly, telling jokes, causing the Dugu Empress to smile.

The little eunuch entered the hall lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Ze, the young secretary of Dali Temple, is waiting outside the hall for a meeting!" ”

Empress Dugu hummed and opened her eyes, but before she could speak, she heard a young man say: "It's time for dinner, why is that Lord Yang so ignorant and bothering the emperor, can't you wait until tomorrow!" ”

Another young man also said, "Yes, it's so boring." Your Majesty, let him wait outside the palace, and wait for Weichen to serve the emperor first after dinner, and it will not be too late to see him again. ”

Empress Dugu was a little unhappy in her heart, she liked young and handsome teenagers very much, and she liked the kind of men who looked soft and strong, in other words, she liked the combination of muscular men and feminine men, but this kind of man was too rare, she was not strong enough to look feminine, but she was not feminine enough, she looked for it in Chang'an City, and she didn't find it, fortunately, the eldest princess gave her two, although it still didn't meet her standards, but she could only make do with it, fortunately, she served well, For this reason, she also named these two young male favorites as the princess of the country.

If you like the little white face, you will like it, if the little white face forgets their own identity. interfere in the politics of the court, then she will be unhappy, this is something she absolutely cannot allow, a male pet is a male pet, and the minister cannot be compared.

Empress Dugu's face sank and said, "What do you know, when he comes to see him at this time, there must be something important, how can it be delayed." Do not be here, but go out of the temple and wait. If you are not called in, do not come in. ”

The two young people pouted together, looking very coquettish, but they didn't dare to disobey the will of the Dugu Empress, and no matter how reluctant they were, they had to go out.

As the two walked out, they thought to themselves: "I just said that the surname Yang is not interesting, but in the blink of an eye, the kung fu has now become the two of us who are not interested." It's bad luck! ”

When they left the main hall, they saw Yang Ze waiting outside, and saw that Yang Ze was not very old, younger than them. But he doesn't look very handsome, not only does he not look feminine enough, but he is not even strong and strong, judging from his appearance. They are so much stronger than this Lord Yang!

The mood was a little better, and a young man said, "You are the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?" The emperor is in the palace, you can go in! "Say it. Snorted.

And another young man said: "Seeing you look like this, and still thinking about competing for favor, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" ”

Yang Ze was stunned, what did these two people say, inexplicable! Ah, wouldn't it be that they are the male favorites of the Dugu Empress, so they thought that everyone else would compete with them for favor, so they were jealous and sneered at me? Obediently, they really know how to relate!

At this time, the little eunuch also came out and said, "Lord Yang, the emperor has summoned you into the palace, please come in, don't let the emperor wait for a long time!" ”

Yang Ze hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this official will go in!" He hurriedly straightened his clothes and walked towards the temple.

But he had only taken a few steps when he heard the two young men behind him talk again, and one said: "Look at him like that, no matter how he dresses up, he can't cover the earthy energy on his body, and his mouth is full of northern accents, which is funny to listen to." ”

And the other said: "Be quiet, he is an official of Dali Temple, maybe he is the eldest princess!" ”

The young man from before sighed, and sure enough, he didn't speak anymore. The reason why the two of them were able to enter the palace was that the eldest princess sent them in, of course they didn't dare to offend the eldest princess, and besides, their dukedom was not worth anything, in the eyes of Empress Dugu, I am afraid that even a county order is stronger than them, and it is a male pet that sounds good, and it is two pets that are not good, or the kind of pet that will be replaced at any time.

Yang Ze turned his head, glanced at the two of them, and thought: "It turns out that Empress Dugu likes this, but if you want to talk about femininity, boys and girls, they are far worse than my big apprentice Fu Bingrong, Fu Bingrong is not only more beautiful than them, but also a catcher, in terms of figure, he is much stronger than them!" ”

Fu Bingrong is a standard boy and girl, if you change into a woman's clothes, it is really more feminine than a woman, and she is strong in martial arts, especially good at archery, if he stands with these two young people, it will definitely be able to compare them two, and then he will be replaced by Yang Ze and said, look at the two of you who look like this, and dare to compare with my apprentice, do you have a little self-knowledge, where to stay and go!

Entering the main hall, Yang Ze saw that there was no chamberlain in the hall, only the Dugu Empress on the dragon couch at the front, he was glad in his heart, fortunately, no one was present, and he could rest assured that he could make a small report boldly.

Empress Dugu sat up straight on the dragon couch, she was always very dignified when she saw the minister, in order to show her attention to the minister, in the majesty of the emperor, she did better than the previous emperors.

After Yang Ze finished saluting, Empress Dugu asked, "Yang Aiqing, are you here to talk about the case of Yuwen Wuluo's family?" Isn't the case closed, why do you want to talk about it again? ”

Yang Ze stood up in a proper manner and whispered: "If you go back to your majesty, Weichen is just using that as an excuse, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others, in fact, Weichen came to see His Majesty to say another thing!" ”

Empress Dugu immediately understood that Yang Ze was here to inform! At the beginning of her usurpation of power, she was the most fond of whistleblowers, because this would give her an excuse to exclude dissidents, but as her throne was consolidated, after being the emperor for a long time, she began to gradually dislike whistleblowers, because she found that whistleblowers were often not loyal, and seven or eight out of ten were some drill campers, yang and yin, two-faced, but those ministers who usually speak straightforwardly are the most reliable to do things, but the ministers who go straight always support the Li royal family of the previous dynasty, This made her very unhappy.

There is really no perfect person in the world, I thought this Yang Ze was very sincere, but I didn't think that he was also a villain who had sharpened his head and wanted to drill the camp!

Empress Dugu was a little disappointed, but she had seen a lot of this kind of thing, and she was tired in her heart, but her face would not show it at all, she asked: "What is the matter, now there are only two of us monarchs and ministers in the palace, you can rest assured and speak out boldly!" ”

Yang Ze said: "Yes, then Weichen said ......" He told Mao Wen'an's plan to find him to make a fortune together, and said: "This matter Weichen thinks that not only Princess Yongan knows, but other ministers also know, and I am afraid that they will take advantage of this matter and attack each other. ”

Empress Dugu didn't wait for Yang Ze to finish speaking, she understood what was going on, and she felt a burst of anger in her heart. As a master of intrigue, Empress Dugu has seen all kinds of dirty things, but she didn't expect that her daughter Yong'an, who usually looks the most worry-free, would secretly do this kind of thing, and even want to make money from the project of repairing the Yucang River embankment, is this daughter really so confused, if the embankment is not repaired well, the capital will be worried about flooding, and she herself lives in the capital!

After Yang Ze finished speaking, he quietly waited for the following, but for a long time, Empress Dugu did not speak, the hall was quiet, at this time it was getting late, and there was no palm lamp in the hall, and the light became more and more dim, giving people a gloomy feeling.

After waiting for a long time, Empress Dugu suddenly said, "Who asked you to come and talk to me about this, and what benefits did you promise?" ”

She spoke suddenly, Yang Ze's body was shocked, he raised his head, and said: "If you go back to Your Majesty, no one will let Weichen come, it is Weichen himself who wants to come, and Weichen knows that this matter will put Weichen in danger, and he will be retaliated against afterwards, and no matter which side it is, he will retaliate against Weichen, and Weichen's career is afraid that it will come to an end." ”

Empress Dugu stared at him and said coldly: "I know that I will be retaliated against, then you will come!" I already knew about the dirtiness in the court, but I just didn't want to deal with them, but if I don't care about them, I can also ignore you! ”

Yang Ze puffed up his chest and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is not good at reading the books of saints, and he is not rich in experience, although he is useless, but Wei Chen knows that he can't do anything that harms the country, and he can't harm thousands of people for his own selfishness!" Weichen only knows one sentence, the ministers are rich, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive! ”

Empress Dugu looked at Yang Ze with some surprise, of course she understood that Yang Ze would not be sent by anyone, the case of repairing the river embankment had not yet appeared, no one would use what did not happen to tell the truth, only the upright courtiers would say it in advance and remind her to prepare in advance, this is something that no slippery minister will do!

"The ministers are good, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive! Who are you listening to when you say this? Empress Dugu asked, she was surprised, this was the first time she heard this, although it was expounded from the perspective of a courtier, but she had a kind of "is what I thought in my heart", feeling that Yang Ze had said what she thought in her heart, and she actually had a feeling of confidant to Yang Ze.

Yang Ze thought to himself: "Listen to what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he is the same emperor as you!" He said: "This is what the minister himself came up with, and it is cited as a motto, which is the criterion for Weichen to be an official!" ”

The palace was quiet for a long time, and then Empress Dugu spoke again, she said: "Okay, well said, you are a good courtier!" (To be continued......)
