From spring to summer, it seems that the flowers bloom and fall, and the people are old between the cycle of withering and glory.

Although it is early summer, there is still a slight coolness in the wind, the flowers are gone, and the green powder appears as the protagonist of this season.

Although the wind and cold have been cured, they are still in the palace all day long, without any spirit, every day as if in addition to serving Murong Yichuan to go to the court, taking care of a pair of children is to play the piano, going to the Empress Dowager Xiao's palace to ask for peace is also in a hurry, Murong Yichuan's two new concubines Cao and Pan have been in the palace for more than half a month, but as if they have been saying that illness has delayed their time to come to Zhaoyang Palace to greet themselves, as if she doesn't want to see these two people in her heart, she hopes that these two people are like flowers on the branches, and they will be scattered after the founding of the country, although people are like flowers after all, they are not flowers, It is impossible for them to disappear, one is in Ziquan Palace, and the other is safe in Jingyuan Palace.

After Murong Yichuan summoned the household department to discuss the matter, he put aside the government affairs for the time being and went to Zhaoyang Palace to see Wanruo, and when he came, he saw that he was sitting quietly under the window and writing, and only after he finished writing did he take the notebook over, "Xiaoyue is difficult for light, and people are sad for their intestines." Who says that spring is glorious, and only sees frost on the leaves. Murong Yichuan frowned slightly after chanting, "Why is this good way to write such a sad poem?" This is what Meng Jiao did after he fell off the list, and naturally the words were negative. "If I don't think so, I have always liked such poems, and you don't know, I always feel that beauty comes from sadness, why did you come at this time?

Murong Yichuan put Wanruo's calligraphy aside and sat down next to her before saying, I came over after discussing the matter with the head of the household, I still can't rest assured of you, but I see that your complexion is better than yesterday, the begonias in the imperial garden are bones, I will accompany you to take a look.

It's like a lazy road, you still hear that it's still windy outside, and you still don't go.

In fact, being afraid of the wind is just a prevarication, as if there is no interest in enjoying the beautiful scenery after all.

Murong Yichuan naturally saw Wanruo's thoughts, he knew that the other party was still angry with himself, and Murong Yichuan didn't explain this, he just followed Wanruo's thoughts, "If you don't go, you won't go, I'm here with you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the great eunuch Dequan jumped into the curtain, and only after the salute was finished, did he say with a solemn face, the slave had just gotten the letter, and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng went half an hour ago.

As if hearing that the tea cup in his hand almost landed, Murong Yichuan was still calm, and instructed Dequandao, I know, after a while, you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with my will to mourn, and say that I am very sad for Prime Minister Xiao Cheng to drive to the west, and read that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has been loyal to me after three supers, and he is conscientious, and he is worthy of the Taimiao of Emperor Zhongzong Tiande. His title of Duke Rongguo was inherited by his eldest son Xiao Kunpeng, and his second son Xiao Kunlin was named the Marquis of Jiangning, and was promoted from Jeju Zhizhou to the Ministry of Rites.

The great eunuch Dequan took Murong Yichuan's holy decree to the Prime Minister's Mansion to offer condolences, and at the same time, Murong Yichuan wanted to go out of the palace to the Xiao family to send the so-called brother for the last time.

"People have been put to death by you, and you have to sit back and relax." Of course, he understood that Xiao Suen's death was not accidental, but Murong Yichuan's careful arrangement, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the bird was hidden from the bow more than this, thinking that Xiao Suen was also loyal to Murong Yichuan, whether his loyalty was for him, the king or for the glory of their Xiao family, but at least Murong Yichuan's rank was on the Xiao family, and now as soon as the emperor sat firmly on the throne, he began to shoot at the heroes, as if he didn't feel cold. "It's like you're talking nonsense, what does Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's death have to do with the old illness and me, he is your brother, and you brothers and sisters should change to be individual." Murong Yichuan's face had already sunk into the lake, and at this moment, he no longer had the gentleness he had in the past.

As if knowing that she had no choice but to continue the play for Murong Yichuan, she didn't argue with it, changed into plain clothes and took Chunxiang and Cuicui out of the palace on a phoenix chariot to the Xiao family to pay tribute.

Rongguo Mansion has long been a piece of grief, people who came to mourn are endless, although Prime Minister Xiao Cheng died suddenly, but now a spiritual shed has been erected, in which the body of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is placed, Xiao Suen's wife, children have been sad together, Murong Yichuan's holy decree has long been hung in the middle of the mourning hall, for a minister to be able to get the title of Wen Zhenggong after death is a great honor, if you can enjoy the temple is naturally the ultimate glory, Xiao Suen began to be the prime minister in the first year of Tiande, for more than ten years, he can be regarded as meticulous in the government and politics, never slack, He knew that Murong Yichuan's ambition was to participate in this battle for the throne for his own selfishness or integration, although he retained a prominent family, but after all, he ended up being unloaded and killed by the new monarch, which is sad and lamentable!

When she was young, she experienced the loss of her mother and father, as if she had long looked down on life and death, but when she saw the Xiao family sinking into grief, she still felt sad and unbearable, she had no feelings for the Xiao family herself, and all the closeness was just for Murong Yichuan's imperial business.

In the Xiao family, it was like meeting Zhongli Wenjun who came to pay tribute.

Walking to a secluded place, he said to Wen Jun with a worried face, you are a smart person, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng died suddenly, you understand.

Hearing this, Wen Jun frowned slightly, and a trace of lament passed over his face, "I naturally understand." I, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and Shangguan Tianjue are the people who know the emperor's secrets the most, are you afraid that the emperor will attack me next? ”

As if he nodded silently, then raised his eyes and stared at Wen Jun with infinite concern, and said softly, I have always known that the emperor is ruthless, but I didn't expect him to be like this, he began to eradicate heroes after only one year on the throne, and there were more than 100 officials he dismissed or eliminated in this year, and I don't care about others, but you, I- It seems that there is some speech, Zhongli Wenjun saw that no one used his fingers to settle Wanruo's lips and whispered relief, Don't worry about me, I supported him to seize the throne for you, Now I stay in the officialdom in addition to fulfilling my father's last wish for me to be loyal to the country, but also for you, and I will also protect myself and Wan'er for you.

As if he hadn't said much, he nodded silently.

Afraid of attracting the attention of others, it seems that he and Wen Jun did not stay too long and left separately.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's spirit was parked in the mansion for three days, and on the fourth day of his funeral, there were many officials who came to the funeral, Zhongli Wenjun was Xiao Suen's most admired protégé, so Wenjun personally wrote an epitaph for him.

On the eighth day after Prime Minister Xiao entered Tibet, Murong Yichuan directly mentioned Xiao Yucheng, the governor of the court, as the prime minister, and the ministers naturally had no objection to the emperor's decision, and Xiao Yucheng, who was not yet forty years old, became the new minister of the Taizheng Dynasty and began a new page for him.
