Xuanzheng Hall, the hall is brightly lit, with brocade embroidered curtains and longing figures.
Xiao Yi was wearing the crown prince's imperial robes and a crown on his head. He was sitting behind a long table. The maids and eunuchs who were bowing to serve him looked respectful and lined up on the left and right.
Along with the fifth rank and above in Beijing, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up according to the civil and military ranks. The six ministers were headed by Di Yan, the official minister, and the military honors column was headed by Wang Zhongsi, the commander of the front department of the palace. From the jade steps outside the palace, they straightened their expressions. Enter the solemn and solemn hall to pay your respects.
"I have met Your Highness, greetings." Amidst the shouts of the mountain, Xiao Yi's expression became gentler than before, and he smiled and said: "You are exempt from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
All the officials stood up one after another.
As in previous years, the Imperial College should present a congratulatory form.
This year, with the consent of the Imperial Academy, Wang Jiefu, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, was instructed to compile a congratulatory list and go out to recite the congratulatory list on behalf of the Imperial Academy as a tribute.
Wang Jiefu has a handsome face and a figure like a orchid and jade tree. He holds a congratulatory watch in his hand and recites.
A clear voice sounded.
A congratulatory note, written in parallel prose and with gorgeous words, sounded like the sound of broken jade in the main hall.
Wang Jiefu bowed and said, "I would like to congratulate Your Highness."
Xiao Yi also had a smile on his face and said, "Scholar Wang, no courtesy."
Wang Jiefu was a scholar of the Wang family in Jinyang. He was from a well-known family, but he behaved like a gentleman.
He was diligent and studious since he was a child, and he was well-read. He traveled to various places in the north and south to observe the sentiments of the people.
In the first year of Zhenyuan, he passed the Jinshi examination and was the number one scholar selected by Xiao Di.
However, Li Linfu was already prime minister at that time. He did not directly enter the court as an official. Instead, he invited Xiao Di to become the administrator of the library, saying that he wanted to study more and not have ambitions in the court.
Now, it should be that Li Linfu was punished and executed, and the traitorous line was destroyed, so he thought about becoming an official.
Wang Jiefu said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Jiefu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, has died in ignorance of your Majesty's behalf."
When some ministers in the palace heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
It’s the New Year’s Day, and I don’t know what to do?
What was Wang Jiefu doing? Was he trying to offend Yan Zhijian?
Isn't it today to congratulate the prince of the prison country to eliminate the traitor?
Wang Jiefu faced a crowd of surprised and uncertain eyes, but turned a blind eye. Since he wanted to become an official, he must make a splash and become a lonely minister.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now has Di Yan, Dai Guang, Fang Xuan, Lu Ming and others. However, Di Yan is from the Taifu line, and Dai Guang is also an ambitious man. He wants to please the Crown Prince, but at the same time he is worried about being betrayed. ostracized and impeached.
In the current court, there is a lack of an upright minister who can defy the heavens, the earth, and the air.
Wang Jiefu put on a facelift and calmed down his expression, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is the daughter of Thief Li. She also acted disobediently in her early years. I suspect that the Crown Prince was seriously ill at that time and it was the Crown Princess and Thief Li who joined forces to murder the Crown Prince."
"The Crown Princess is not worthy of the position. Please, Your Highness, abolish Concubine Li and establish another Crown Princess!"
The smile on Xiao Yi's face disappeared immediately.
He just knew it.
There will be such a day.
Li Qiuya is the daughter of Li Linfu.
Di Yan and others assisted him in defeating Li Linfu and even killed him.
This is the revenge of killing my father.
Even Xiao Yi thinks he can train Li Qiuya well.
People like Di Yan don’t believe it!
Cutting off the roots.
They were worried that in the future, if Li Qiuya's son became the crown prince, and then ascended the throne as the emperor, someone would rectify Li Linfu's injustice.
Then your family will definitely be implicated.
The ministers were in an uproar.
Abolish the Crown Princess?
Why didn't they think of that!
Wang Jiefu's face was firm, and his clear voice was resounding, and he said: "The position of the Crown Princess is no small matter. Your Highness uses thunderous means, has the ambition to endure hardships, and has worked hard to eradicate the treacherous Prime Minister Li Thief, but now he still allows him to be killed." It is disrespectful to Haotian for a girl to be a princess."
Di Yan came out of the queue at this time, bowed and said: "Your Highness, I think what Wang Xueshi said is true. The Crown Princess is the master of the backyard of the East Palace, where people with virtue, kindness, elegance and kindness live. Your Highness, I think that Concubine Li has no virtue." , unscrupulous, inelegant, and unkind, your highness, please abolish Concubine Li and establish another Crown Princess!"
"I second my opinion."
As long as Li Linfu's troubles are eradicated this time, all the ministers who have made mistakes will stand up.
This is their attitude!
They are also worried about their future.
I don’t want to leave such a hidden danger like Li Qiuya.
Xiao Yi didn't say a word and seemed to be hesitating.
Among the martial artists, some people stood up and began to support this matter.
But.
Their intention was also very clear, that is, they supported the appointment of Yue Hongling as the crown princess.
After all, Yue Hongling is the daughter of Yue Shan and the general of Yu Linwei. After all, she can be regarded as someone from Wu Xun's side.
Xiao Yidao: "Oh?"
Cast a pair of scrutinizing and suspicious eyes on that person.
The man suddenly did not dare to speak any more.
"I know what you are thinking. The Crown Princess does have some moral issues. In the past, I endured the humiliation and only wanted to find opportunities to eradicate Li Linfu and other rebellious officials and traitors."
"Now that the traitor has been eliminated, we really can't keep her anymore."
"However, the couple's kindness lasted for a hundred days, and the Crown Princess later repented. Li Linfu asked her to continue poisoning the orphan. The Crown Princess gave the letter and poison to the orphan, and confessed to the orphan."
"Therefore, I am demoted to the crown prince's concubine and will never be promoted to a higher rank."
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
Di Yan and others took the lead and bowed: "Your Highness is wise."
Everyone takes a step back.
They didn't dare to push the situation anymore.
I also believe that His Highness the Crown Prince will weigh the importance of this matter in his heart.
Can he sleep with a woman who poisoned him by his side?
Of course Xiao Yi couldn't sleep.
So he agreed to Di Yan and others' request to abolish the crown princess.
However, there are no plans to establish another crown princess now.
…
East Palace.
Xiao Yi looked at the pitiful Li Qiuya who was kneeling there to plead guilty, and sighed and said: "I can't help it, they are all meritorious ministers, and Di Yan is a disciple of the Taifu, so this may be Taifu’s intention.”
"In addition, Yue Hongling is the daughter of Yue Shan, and Wu Xun has also come forward."
"It's impossible for me to kill them all!"
Listening to Xiao Yi's words, Li Qiuya felt extremely miserable and sobbed: "Your Highness."
After saying that, he fell directly on Xiao Yi's feet, raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears and his face was pale.
Xiao Yi lowered his body slightly, picked up Li Qiuya, placed her on the couch, and comforted her.
how to say?
At this moment, Li Qiuya must have lost all hope.
In order to succumb to him and for his promise, she betrayed her father and was bullied by Xiao Yi in various ways. She tried every position and became Xiao Yi's maid, doing whatever he asked her to do.
But once her dream was shattered, now, he... was undoubtedly Li Qiuya's life-saving straw.
Only his continued fascination with Li Qiuya's body made her feel that the relationship was still strong and her life would rekindle the fire of hope.
If he shows impatience, or is tired of or indifferent to physical contact, Li Qiuya may really feel despair.
As for hating because of love?
impossible.
He had never seen a trace of love in Li Qiuya's eyes.
Not before.
Not now.
It’s even less likely to happen in the future.
As for hatred.
Li Qiuya is like a duckweed. Once she leaves Xiao Yi, she will definitely die.
Even if there was hatred in her heart, she couldn't show it.
otherwise.
She would not kneel on the ground to greet Xiao Yi after he returned to the East Palace.
Xiao Yi was intimate with Li Qiuya for a while, then gently put his arm around the beauty's shoulders, pressing the richness and fullness between his fingers into his heart.
Li Qiuya raised her face as beautiful as ever, her eyes were red and swollen from crying today, and she said in a delicate voice: "Your Highness, don't leave Ya'er, Ya'er only has Your Highness now."
As he spoke, he lowered his head.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally did not push Li Qiuya away.
After a while, Xiao Yi handed over a handkerchief.
"Ya'er, I've wronged you."
Xiao Yi looked affectionate, as if he really couldn't let go of Li Qiuya.
Li Qiuya also had tears in her eyes, knowing that she had done those things before. In addition, as Li Linfu's daughter, the ministers in the court would definitely not tolerate her.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be doting on him.
otherwise.
He has long since abolished himself.
Now, under the pressure of hundreds of officials, he had to agree to abolish the crown princess.
His Royal Highness is in such a difficult situation.
How could I be so messy?
She only hoped that His Highness the Crown Prince could always pamper her.
She can no longer live without him.
"Your Highness, I will not embarrass Your Highness."
Li Qiuya's eyebrows were filled with a trace of charm, her throat rolled, and she took the handkerchief, her eyebrows and eyes were full of amorous feelings.
Immediately, the beauty nestled her rosy face in Xiao Yi's arms, held Xiao Yi's hand tightly, and began to murmur in her voice: "You can't do without me in the future."
Even if she is deposed as the Crown Princess, even if she becomes the Crown Princess, she is still willing.
From now on, she will become a palace maid.
As long as she can stay with His Highness the Crown Prince, she is willing to do so.
have to say.
Xiao Yi's teachings these days have really worked.
Xiao Yi caressed Li Qiuya's shoulders, hugged her into his arms, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not want you?"
The royal enjoyment is not yet tiring.
Of course he won't let her go.
Moreover, he has been taught to this point, and he has a golden elixir himself, so he is not afraid of what will happen to her in the future.
She is invulnerable to all poisons. She is a weak woman. As long as she is strictly guarded, she will not be exposed to poisons, let alone harm other people.
She is already an obedient maid and cannot afford to make big troubles.
Concubine Li, on the other hand, is more difficult.
Li Qiuya said "hmm" and gently put her hand on her belly. What she hoped most now was that she could get pregnant.
If she were pregnant with the prince's child, she would also have a chance.
The two cuddled up and talked for a while, mainly Li Qiuya talking and Xiao Yi listening.
Maybe it's because Li Qiuya is too insecure now, so Xiao Yi never noticed that Li Qiuya talked so much before.
From the time she was a child to the time she came to the East Palace as the Crown Princess, she avoided the time when Xiao Yi was later poisoned, mostly because of her initial naughtiness as a child.
Later, because Li Linfu had many children, he was left out, so he worked hard to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting to stand out among the many daughters.
after awhile.
Xiao Yi glanced at the sky outside, and before he knew it, it was already midnight, and whispered: "Ya'er, let's do this for today. From now on, you will live in Xiyuan, and Gu will still come to see you every day. "
Li Qiuya looked at Xiao Yi reluctantly, put her hands around his neck, and said in a charming voice: "Then don't forget it."
The charming eyes are as charming as silk and seductive.
Xiao Yi reached out and pinched the delicate cheek skin of the beauty, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will always be the first in Gu's heart."
These words of love came out really casually.
Li Qiuya looked at Xiao Yi's leaving figure, pursed her lips, gently stroked her belly, sighed, and was lost in thought.
"You have to fight for your breath!"
"My future happiness depends entirely on you."
After Xiao Yi left, he went to the study.
Li Qiuya was immediately forgotten.
Now that we have taken full power, it is time to make a big move.
The first is Longyou Road. Spring will start after the beginning of the year, and spring plowing will be needed at the beginning of spring. This will be the top priority.
So the seeds for spring plowing must be prepared.
Greenhouses have also begun to be put into use, and they have been sold for a lot of money just relying on technology.
The second technology, movable type printing, can also be put on the agenda.
In fact, Li Linfu's palace and the homes of Liu Hui, Sima Yi and others were confiscated, and the national treasury was full.
But.
There will definitely be many battles to fight in the future, and money will need to be spent.
The work-for-relief program in Longyou Road can be fully launched.
This also requires money.
Money is needed to build roads, canals, bridges, and fortifications.
Copper coins that circulate are considered currency, and those placed in the treasury can only be considered a pile of copper.
Eunuch Huaiji walked in gently, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Yang Zhao is here."
