On September 20, the 60th year of the Zhao Dynasty, Li Pei held an enthronement ceremony in the old palace in the capital of Zhaoguo.

The sky was cloudless on this day, and the golden sunlight pierced the sky and shone on this ancient imperial city, revealing an awe-inspiring solemnity.

Li Pei walked up the steps step by step, and the golden dragon on the dragon robe came to life under the clear sunlight, showing its majesty. The sound of loud bells and drums, accompanied by the sound of civil and military officials bowing, echoed in the hall for a long time. Li Pei's gaze looked from these officials to the distance that he couldn't see, and his heart was strangely calm and open.

Haiqing Heyan, the great rule of the world, this is not only him but also the ideal of the world, he is sincerely grateful to the gods of heaven and earth at this time, grateful for everything.

Jiang Yuetang in the audience also burst into tears and felt a lot.

She remembered the wishes of her great-grandfather, grandfather and father, the bold decision of her father when her brother died of illness and the choice she made at that time, the efforts she had made over the years to fulfill the sustenance of her ancestors, the short-lived love of her previous life and the continuation of her current life, and she was very grateful to herself who had been working tirelessly, because she had worked hard enough, so that she had no regrets when she recalled it today.

She unconsciously looked at the place where Xiao Diyuan was, and found that the other party's eyes were also red.

Perhaps aware of it, he looked at her, and their eyes met.

Then the two of them smiled in unison.

That evening, the two walked slowly along a flower-lined road in the palace.

Neither of them spoke, but they were connected.

Walking to a corner, Xiao Diyuan said: "Now that the Central Plains is unified and the world is decided, it is time for you and me to think about our own affairs." ”

Jiang Yuetang knew what he was referring to, and said with a smile: "I just became the first assistant, and I am so valued by Your Majesty, whether it is public or private, I can't step down immediately, so let's help Your Majesty formulate a set of policies first." ”

Xiao Diyuan was noncommittal, and said after a while: "Actually, there is no conflict between you marrying me and you being the first assistant. ”

Jiang Yuetang raised his eyes to look at him in surprise, then realized something, and said in a low voice: "You shouldn't suggest that I play two roles by myself, right?"

Xiao Diyuan nodded and said, "This is exactly what I think." ”

Then he whispered a few words in her ear.

Jiang Yuetang nodded after hearing this, and said, "Okay, then do it, but not this year, after next summer, the new policy should be formulated at that time." ”

Siu Diyuan: "Yes, but you can also try to follow my method this year and let others know that there is such a person." ”

Jiang Yuetang thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

In the next month, Jiang Yuetang was busy formulating new national policies.

The country is big and needs a new set of policies to manage, and of course, some old policies can continue to be used.

As the minister of a country, Jiang Yuetang has the greatest responsibility, so she has been busy with this matter almost every day this month.

Among those involved in the formulation of the new deal was Xiao Diyuan.

I have to say that Xiao Diyuan is a person with a lot of ideas, so many of the ideas in the new deal are taken from him.

Jiang Yuetang's admiration for him is getting higher and higher day by day.

She felt how fortunate she was to have a man like him as a partner, so although she was busy at work every day, she was stable and happy.

Before the Spring Festival, Jiang Yuetang and several ministers went to the border area to inspect the border guards, and when they returned to the capital, it was already December 27.

After she finished reporting to the emperor, she went to Qingyun Palace, but unfortunately the queen mother was also in Qingyun Palace, and when she just wanted to retreat, she was discovered by the queen mother, who hurriedly stopped her and said: "Lord Jiang came here in the dust, so let's come in and have a cup of tea before leaving." ”

So Jiang Yuetang walked into the room with a smile.

Xiao Diyuan personally made tea for her, while asking her about her work with concern.

She answered them one by one, looking at him with the shyness and shyness that women are peculiar to facing the man they love.

Seeing this, the queen mother asked her subordinates to step back and said to the two: "The palace also knows about your affairs, and now that you have all reached the age of male marriage and female marriage, you can think about how to panic about the external circle." ”

Only then did Jiang Yuetang know that the Empress Dowager knew about this, and immediately got up and knelt down towards the Empress Dowager and said, "The minister did not deliberately conceal his identity, please treat the Empress Dowager leniently." ”

The queen mother helped her up and said: "Yun'er has already told this palace about the ins and outs of the matter, and this palace can't be ruthless even if it wants to blame you, and besides, there is really no other way for you to do it at that time, so don't pursue the past." ”

Jiang Yuetang hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

Then Jiang Yuetang told her about her and Xiao Diyuan's plan.

The queen mother nodded after hearing this, and gave them a few more tricks.

After hearing this, the two felt that things suddenly became much clearer, and the smiles on their faces became even bigger.

At this time, someone came in and said: "Third Highness, Lord Jiang, there is a group of people on the southwest border who have rebelled, saying that they want to restore the Ye Kingdom, and the situation is critical, Your Majesty asked you to hurry to the Yinghua Palace to discuss countermeasures." ”

The two hurriedly bid farewell to the Queen Mother and rushed to the Yinghua Palace.

When they arrived, several other ministers who had been urgently summoned arrived.

Everyone immediately discussed what to do.

Some people think that troops should be sent to suppress it immediately, and some people think that they should be negotiated in a reasonable way, so that they can accept the new emperor and the new country from their hearts.

Jiang Yuetang said: "Now they are still angry, and they are naturally very resistant to the new dynasty, and it is useless to reason with them at this time, so it is better to send troops to suppress them first, and lobby them when they are suppressed." ”

Another minister retorted: "Send troops to go, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the soldiers and horses are labored, so it is better to send a few eloquent people to try lobbying first." ”

Jiang Yuetang: "An angry person will fall into a fierce emotion, at this time he can't listen to any reason at all, and countering violence with violence is the quickest way, and to suppress such a huge reactionary group, the only way to do it is to work hard and work hard, and it is impossible to save it." ”

Others agreed.

So Li Pei immediately sent 100,000 soldiers to rush there.

I thought that this year's Spring Festival would be spent in a very stable and festive mood, but it changed because of this rebellion on the border.

Fortunately, only ten days after the Spring Festival, good news came back from the border, saying that the rebellion had been suppressed, and now those leaders have been arrested by us and are waiting for the emperor to deal with them.

The Emperor also convened everyone to discuss the method of disposition.

Many ministers said that they must be killed to achieve the effect of 'killing one and setting an example', but Jiang Yuetang thought that they could not be killed, the reason was that the reason why they did this was to resist the new monarch and the new dynasty from their hearts, so the new monarch should be strict with himself, lenient with others, regard the common people in the world as his compatriots, and give them certain freedom and rights and interests, so that they can have a sense of belonging, so that they will slowly eliminate their resistance.

Li Pei followed Jiang Yuetang's advice.

Sure enough, there were no more rebellions along the border for a long time after that. That's an afterword.
