44. Chapter 44
For several days, Su Yao avoided Ye Lin and refused to see him. Speaking of which, Ye Lin should also know, so he didn't deliberately bother her, otherwise, where could she hide in a huge palace.
Although she and Ye Lin are still not husband and wife, they can ...... Every time he thinks about the matters between the bedsheets that night, Su Yao has to calm down his eyebrows for a while, the matter has come to this, I am afraid that it is more intimate than ordinary couples, and if they still respect each other like guests in front of strangers, I am afraid it will be a little pretentious.
But she didn't know how to get along with Ye Lin now, and if she could hide for a day, Su Yao found that she still had the characteristics of an ostrich.
She is now the queen, and naturally there are no less people around her, after Ye Lin ascended the throne, the entire palace was changed for blood, and a few smart and clever people were selected to be her personal maids. Su Yao happily agreed, but she didn't need them on weekdays, but she was very interested in the library in the palace, and if there was nothing to do in the harem, she went into it in one go.
When Su Yao was hiding in the library and being an ostrich, Ye Lin was not so relaxed.
Seven days after his resignation, many matters were directly handed over to the Qinzheng Palace to deal with. Although the queen has invited himself to practice in Huazhou Praruo Temple, the regent Feng Ce is still there, Ye Lin can't hold the power in his own hands, and it is not so easy to purge the Qing Dynasty and the opposition. Not to mention that there is a wall grass in between, his mind turns faster than the direction of the wind, and when he saw Ye Lin ascending the throne, he squeezed his scalp and tried to stammer, and he was upset when he saw it.
There was a stack of folds on the wide desk of the golden silk nanmu, and Ye Lin held a jade pole brush dipped in cinnabar, bowing his head and reading the folds familiarly. Liu Neishou stood quietly aside, peeking at Ye Lin from time to time, and quickly lowered his head again.
The young king did not feel any discomfort at all, as if he had long been accustomed to such heavy and boring political affairs, his slightly frowning eyebrows when he watched the folds, and the slender fingers holding the brush, always made him think that he had seen Ye Xiu when he was young. That king was also diligent and thrifty, and he was also ambitious to do something big, and he also took the founding saint ancestor as the direction of his life, but later, he ended up with the dictatorship of a foreign relative and the result of the emperor and queen. He has served Ye Xiu all his life, and he has seen a lot of ups and downs in this palace, and he is also a little accurate in seeing people. But the new young monarch is so elusive that he can't figure out what was going on in those dark eyes.
For example, now, Xia Shangshu, who was edicted under the main hall, had been trembling and kneeling for nearly an hour, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, but he didn't see Ye Lin raise his head from the stack of folds, as if he had forgotten Xia Shangshu.
Xia Shangshu knelt under His Royal Highness for a long time, and he didn't see Ye Lin paying attention to him, and he was a little weak in his heart - a few days ago, his unsuccessful daughter called Ye Lin took the trouble to deliberately tell Cui Shu to beat him, and now the investigation is tight, and many officials under his hands have fallen off the horse, and he is also not clean, and he is afraid that Ye Lin will find out about him.
Speaking of the first emperor died, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, although nothing went wrong, but Xia Yanbiao listened to the rumors in the court that Ye Lin was not in Beijing at that time, and even intended to change the palace after the seal, but the prince Ji Ren Tianxiang rushed back, and only then did he invite himself to Huazhou to worship the Buddha. Although they couldn't know the details, they also knew that the mansions of King Ning and King Duan, who had opened that night, were all fenced off, and they didn't look so light and breezy on their faces.
I don't know what His Majesty, who was the crown prince at the time, was checking outside.
Thinking of this, Xia Yanbiao quietly glanced at Liu Nei. Isn't it true that His Majesty really forgot about him! He can't afford to toss like this with an old bone.
Liu Neishou didn't seem to see it, and stood aside silently, completely uncooperative. Xia Yanbiao was anxious, cleared his throat and coughed.
Ye Lin finished approving a book and threw it aside, only then did he raise his head, his clear black eyes swept over Xia Yanbiao, and said coldly: "I've been kneeling for so long, and I haven't remembered what I did wrong?"
That's not a good thing to say. Ye Lin forgot him, and his feelings were deliberately hanging on him.
Xia Yanbiao pounced, made a big salute, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been an official for 12 years, conscientious, diligent and thrifty, and has never done anything against his conscience, if there is any stupidity that violates His Majesty's holy will, it must be an unintentional move......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Lin, "Unintentional move? Skillfully took bribes, bought and sold official positions, and suppressed wizards by taking bribes under the rules of Wen Juan, Xia Yanbiao, are you blind? I still need to remind you, what dirty things have you done? ”
After finishing speaking, he saw Ye Lin take out a few excerpts from the batch of excerpts and throw them to His Highness, so he no longer paid attention to him, and criticized the excerpts as usual.
Seeing Ye Lin's attitude, Xia Yanbiao broke out in a cold sweat, stretched out his hand to pick up those folds and unfolded them, but saw that the folds listed how he had risen to a high position step by step over the years, how he accepted bribes, and how to suppress talents were listed on the paper one by one, and there was no way to refute the black and white words, so he was immediately dumbfounded and sweated. He finally understood that he was Ye Lin's sacrifice to make an example of the monkey, and he couldn't escape this catastrophe no matter what.
In the past, he only thought that the current queen Su Yao was not very close to His Majesty, and he had the name of the daughter of the Pingxi Su family, but he couldn't set off any waves. An opportunistic and step-by-step official like him hated each other with those Qingliu, and even delusionally thought that his daughter could win the Sacred Heart, so he only turned a blind eye to his daughter's provocation of Su Yao three times and twice as if he didn't see it.
But who would have thought that most of the excerpts to impeach him came from the hands of Qingliu who had been instructed and promoted by the Pingxi Su clan, so that he knew the power of the Pingxi Su clan. It's no wonder that the crown prince and the regent prince turned against each other in order to get a Su Yao, and completely lost their former brotherhood. I didn't expect that I would plan to drill camp for a lifetime, but I was still too naïve after all.
Liu Nei's eyes were usually swaggering Xia Yanbiao shook into a sieve under His Royal Highness, but Ye Lin didn't raise his eyelids, he was okay with the fold, and sighed secretly in his heart, although his appearance is similar, but His Majesty is still different from the first emperor, if this is changed to the first emperor, which one is not a pleasant face, and persuade each other. But the young king in front of him seemed to have cold blood, and he didn't care about others at all.
Just thinking about it, I heard the high-ranking emperor say casually: "What, aren't you going to go back and explain to your family?"
Xia Yanbiao's body was weak, and he finally couldn't speak.
As soon as Xia Yanbiao was dragged down, he was in front of him, and the prince Zhan Shi of the East Palace, who was now proud of the spring breeze, walked in in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness King Ning wrote to plead his case, and wanted to ask for permission to go to the Forbidden Yuan Siguo Palace to visit Concubine Lin, but the minister didn't know ......" Cui Shu stopped when he said this, looking at Ye Lin and not speaking. A few days ago, Ning Wangfu and Duanwangfu were besieged, and they were unjustifiably buckled with the hat of unsubordinate, and Ye Lin also sent someone to appease him after he ascended the throne.
It is said that since the death of the first crown princess, the first emperor stripped Concubine Lin and Concubine Jin of their titles and sent them into the Forbidden Garden, and King Ning had never seen his mother, which is understandable.
It's just that Concubine Lin is a sin after all, and she has nothing to do with the death of the former crown princess, Cui Shubao is not sure what Ye Lin plans in his heart, whether he has this generosity and can ignore the past suspicions.
Ye Lin didn't think about it, and said categorically: "No."
King Ning is upright and upright, but he knows what King Ning has in his heart, and in his previous life, he also allowed King Ning to visit with great kindness, how do he know that when he returned from the visit, he really worked with King Duan to plot rebellion, so it took him a lot of time to settle the matter. At the beginning, Ye Xiu knew that the two of them had been separated from their mother since childhood, and that the mother concubine was guilty of a lot of white eyes, so he must have held his breath in his heart, so he gave the two of them the title of "Ning" and "Duan", hoping that they would be good people and not have crooked thoughts.
It's just a wolf's ambition, how can a title be suppressed.
Thinking of this, Ye Lin said again: "You go to draw up a decree, Ning Wang Ye Lei has bad intentions, and he will not be allowed to take a step out of Changning for the rest of his life."
Cui Shu was a little surprised, Ye Lin suddenly made such a will, it was really cold and sudden, but he didn't say anything, just came down, remembered something in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and said: "There has been a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China these days, it seems that it is about the enrichment of His Majesty's harem...... Can you have an idea? ”
Ye Lin ascended the throne, and the princes who were originally stranded in the palace because they had not yet weakened the crown were sealed in turn, and the concubines of each palace were sent to the princes' mansions. Ye Lin was at the time of his energy, and there was no concubine on his side to serve, which was always a little inappropriate. What's more, enriching the harem is a good opportunity to stabilize the officials, since ancient times, the harem has been inextricably linked, if the harem is only the queen of Su alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to convince the public.
Even if there is no regent in the future, I am afraid that there will be a more difficult Pingxi Su clan to do. I heard that Su Xiang had summoned his eldest son Su Zhuo from Pingxi and would arrive in Changning in a few days, I don't know what it means, and I need to be cautious.
Ye Lin was tired for a while when he heard this, half of the excerpts he reviewed mentioned the enrichment of the harem intentionally or unintentionally, and he was very annoyed to see it, but he didn't expect that even Cui Shu would use this matter to annoy him, and his heart was unhappy, and his face was not very good-looking.
Liu Neishou raised his eyes and quietly looked at Ye Lin, and saw that the young king's expressionless face sank suddenly, and he threw aside the jade pole brush in his hand with a "snap", and said solemnly and coldly: "I don't need to enrich the harem."
