Three days later, Qingyun began to govern the court, and Mo Xuan sat beside her, and the two of them were as pleasing to the eye and reverent as a fairy couple.

Because the meditation master was too insistent, Qingyun had no choice but to write the pure gold medal plaque of 'Edict Zen Forest' to Cining Nunnery as a reward, and also added Leng Yi as the Marquis of Ying Xiao, and Shen Mama as a three-grade lady, and stayed in the palace to live for a long time.

Qingyun secretly set up a dark force, codenamed 'Royal Dark Dragon', and the personnel were those secret guards who did not want to be appointed officials, and Dragon Shadow served as the commander.

There is also Qingyun Dangdian Zhao Xue Feng Zhaoyi and Su Zihan and the grievances of the Murong family, restored the reputation of the three families, and posthumously sealed them, and at the same time ordered the county guard of several people's origins to build an ancestral hall for several people, so that they can be worshiped by the world.

On the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials discussed and revised and refined the nine new policies promulgated by Qingyun, and further improved the implementation provisions of the new policies.

Later generations called these nine new policies the 'Nine Policies of the Son of Heaven', which opened a chapter of prosperity and strength of the Jin Kingdom.

After the Nine Policies of the Son of Heaven were issued, the government and the opposition were all rejoicing, and the subjects of the whole country sang praises for the wisdom and wisdom of Emperor Deming and filial piety on the one hand, and enthusiastically devoted themselves to the governance of their homeland and the country, and there was a thriving scene everywhere.

Under the early dynasty, Qingyun and Mo Xuan returned to a side hall of Luoxia Palace hand in hand, Mingde Hall has been reduced to ashes, and the Qinzheng Hall records too many memories of her father, Qingyun doesn't want anyone to disturb her father, so she uses this side hall as a place for her to deal with court affairs.

"Tired?" Mo Xuan squeezed Qingyun's shoulders with moderate strength.

"Fortunately, my father let me participate in the government early, and I don't feel tired." Shaking his head slightly, Qingyun held Mo Xuan's hand and pulled him to sit on the dragon chair beside him: "You have also been listening to politics for a long time, take a rest." ”

Stretching out his hand to hug Qingyun into his arms, Mo Xuan said softly: "I will always accompany you, and we will create a prosperous world together!" ”

Snuggled in Mo Xuan's warm arms that seemed to have no medicinal fragrance, Qingyun closed her eyes, her cold illness had just been cured, and she couldn't help but feel a little tired after most of the day.

"Xiyan, are you going to return the congratulatory gift of Emperor Chu to him?" Chu Yunyi actually took Wei Liguo, who had been attacked with great difficulty, as a congratulatory gift for Xiyan's accession to the throne, and clearly intended to block him.

"Hmm." Qingyun still closed his eyes: "This congratulatory gift is too valuable, so naturally I can't accept it." ”

"Since Emperor Chu is full of intentions, you can accept it."

Suddenly opening his eyes, Qingyun left Mo Xuan's embrace slightly, looking at him with doubts in his eyes.

Chen Yu is a big vinegar vat, and has always regarded Chu Yunyi as the strongest rival in love, it is said that he should resolutely refuse to accept Chu Yunyi's gift, how could it be?

Bowing his head and kissing the corner of Qingyun's lips, Mo Xuanfu hugged her into his arms again, and there was a faint meaning of grinding teeth in his deep voice: "Although the country of Wei Li is small, it is surrounded by water and rich in products, and it is bordered by our country in the east, Chu in the south, Liang in the west, and various small countries in the north. ”

"Having said that, after all, it was the country that Yun Yi attacked, how can we keep it for ourselves?"

"First, looking at the whole world, only our country is prosperous and strong, and can control the Wei Li country, and the rest of the countries will inevitably have disputes no matter which country gets the Wei Li country, and it is not the people who will suffer at that time, and the Chu Emperor has not included the territory of the Wei Li State for so long, so he naturally has such thoughts; Second, after all, Emperor Chu has had a friendship with you for many years, and this time you deserve to congratulate you on your enthronement and wedding! If you really don't want to go in your heart, why don't we find a virtuous queen for Emperor Chu, and save the courtiers of Chu from asking Emperor Chu to open up branches and leaves for the royal family every day, which makes Emperor Chu annoyed, how about it? ”

Stretched out his hand and twisted Mo Xuan's waist, and snorted softly in disgust: "Vinegar jar!" ”

"Oops!" Mo Xuan screamed exaggeratedly, and then attached it to Qingyun's ear, with a strong sour taste in his aggrieved tone: "I also have good intentions, lest he think about how to dig my corner all day long!" ”

"Be careful to provoke him and send someone to break into the palace to assassinate you!"

"I am both medical and poisonous, and martial arts can also be said to be a rare opponent in the world, no matter how many people he sends, he is not afraid, not to mention that Xiyan will protect me, right?"

Qingyun shook her head amusedly.

At this time, Qing Xiu suddenly bowed down and walked in: "Your Majesty, Emperor Han, Prince Xian asks to see!" ”

Glancing at Mo Xuan, Qingyun left Mo Xuan's arms and sat upright, tidying up his appearance without any messiness: "Please Prince Xian come in." ”

Qing Xiu retreated.

After a while, Sima Xian walked into the side hall.

Although Qingyun exempted Sima Rui's four brothers from bowing, Sima Xian always remembered that there was a difference between monarchs and ministers, so he leaned over to bow down, Mo Xuan waved his right hand and stopped him from saluting at the right time, and Qingyun scolded him: "Sixth brother, didn't I say it, you are all my most respected brothers, you don't need to care about those red tapes." ”

"Don't waste your courtesy!" Sima Xian said quietly.

Don't look at the sixth brother is gentle and elegant, in fact, he pays the most attention to the rules, and Qingyun is no longer entangled in this: "What is the matter with the sixth brother coming to me?" ”

"I implore the emperor to remove him from his position as a prince and demote his ministers to commoners!"

"What?" Qingyun was stunned, and Mo Xuan looked at Sima Xian thoughtfully: "How can a good sixth brother have this idea?" Could it be that something happened? ”

Sima Xian lowered his head slightly and said calmly: "The minister promised that after the dust settled, he would accompany her and Lin'er to travel to the mountains and rivers......"

"Didn't I decree that all officials should have two months off? The sixth brother can accompany the sixth sister-in-law and Lin'er to travel to the mountains and rivers during the holidays, and if the vacation is not enough, I can also extend it as appropriate. ”

Without waiting for Sima Xian to say anything, Qingyun said earnestly: "The sixth brother has always done his best for the country and the people, not only is there no mistake in the slightest, but also thanks to the imperial court, if I agree to the sixth brother's resignation, how can I explain to the people of the world?" Could it be that the sixth brother can't bear to be criticized by the world, saying that I am narrow-minded and can't tolerate meritorious people? When the time comes, who else will do their best to serve the court and work for the well-being of the people? ”

"The minister is not trapping the emperor in unkindness!" Sima Xian knelt down and explained: "The minister has already written an excerpt to ask for guilt, and the emperor will only publish the content of the excerpt to the world, so naturally no one will misunderstand the emperor again!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a book from his sleeve pocket and presented it to both hands.

Mo Xuan stood up, walked in front of Sima Xian from behind the imperial desk, took the fold, returned to Qingyun, handed it to her, and then sat down.

Without looking at it, he put it on the table, and Qingyun looked at Sima Xian, who was kneeling down: "The civil strife has just subsided, and all parts of the country are in ruins, and the sixth brother from childhood to the eldest brother loves me the most, but at this time he refuses to stay to assist me, I am really sad." The voice was low and lonely.

"There are many talents around the emperor, and the absence of a minister will not hinder the overall situation." Sima Xian's tone was firm: "The emperor has always been indifferent and casual when he is a minister, and he doesn't like the cumbersome and complicated affairs of government affairs, and the minister just wants to live a peaceful and relaxed life with his wife and children, and I implore the emperor to fulfill it!" ”

"Prince Xian doesn't like cumbersome and complicated government affairs, so go to the Ministry of Rites, Hong Hu has just been appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, there are many things that are not very clear, Prince Xian only needs to supervise Hong Amber, in addition, I specially approve Prince Xian's three-month vacation, Prince Xian can take Prince Xian and the prince to travel during the holiday, as for Prince Xian's resignation, I should not allow it, and Prince Xian will not mention it again in the future!"

"The Emperor's ......"

"Sixth brother, now that everything is in ruins, how heavy the burden is on my shoulders, the sixth brother should know very well, you are my brother, if you don't help me, who will help me?"

I was talking about me just now, and now I'm talking about it, so it can be seen that Qingyun cares about this brother very much.

Sima Xian lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression, but the hands on his knees unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter.

"What's more, it's the Spring Festival soon, my father and Concubine Yu are no longer there, and the only relatives around me are you, even the starling brother and the eighth emperor's sister-in-law have decided to go to the border after the Lantern Festival, can the sixth brother bear that our family can't be reunited?"

After a long time, Sima Xian raised his head, looked at Qingyun with anticipation, and finally nodded: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"Sixth brother, this is my first Spring Festival in power, and the sixth brother has bothered to do so."

Sima Xian replied respectfully: "The minister understands! Retire! After a bow, he exited the side hall.

Staring deeply at Sima Xian's back, Qingyun's face was as calm as water, and his dark pupils were dyed with a deep light, and he raised his hand towards a certain place in the shadow.

"Xiyan is worried that the sixth brother will take the sixth sister-in-law and Lin'er and leave before it is too late." Mo Xuan's tone was affirmative rather than questioning.

"The sixth brother's temperament is as indifferent as Concubine Yu, even if I use my family affection to keep the sixth brother this time, I'm afraid that it will ...... after the Spring Festival" Qingyun sighed, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Chen Yu, do you think that the sixth brother will already know that he is not a real royal bloodline?" ”

"What do you mean......"

"I once heard Concubine Yu inadvertently mention that before she entered the palace, she suddenly encountered robbers on the way back from Cining Nunnery to enter incense, and her father happened to save her, and she fell in love with her father at first sight;

Later, I learned from Uncle Leng's words that my father, who was still the prince at that time, was not in the capital at all, and it was my father who disguised himself as my father and concealed it from the emperor and the ministers;

Concubine Yu has always been delicate, especially for her father, even if she didn't notice it when she first entered the palace, but after a few years of getting along, it is impossible for Concubine Yu not to notice that the person who shares the same bed with her and conceives * children is not the same person as the person sitting on the dragon chair, not to mention that the father's affection for his mother is not a secret;

I guess that Concubine Yu must have known and sued the sixth brother at the appropriate time, so for so many years, the sixth brother has not fought for power, not for profit, and has protected me openly and secretly, and at the same time kept a due distance from me. "I also firmly oppose you being with me.

After all, she is her father's only daughter, except for Sima Chun and Zhilan who are Yue Ting's children, the rest of the princes and princesses are all in the bloodline of their father, Emperor Ling Feng.

If she and Chen Yu didn't leave a son and a half daughter, then the Sima family's lineage would be cut off forever.

Mo Xuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If the sixth brother insists on leaving or saying goodbye, what will you do?" ”

"In my heart, the sixth brother is my relatives, no matter if the sixth brother insists on leaving or saying goodbye, I will not agree, at most I will give the sixth brother a longer vacation, now that my father and concubine are gone, I can't let this family and relatives ......disperse" Speaking of this, Qingyun suddenly stopped, looking at the door in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Mo Xuan looked at Qingyun with a stunned expression.

Qingyun, who came back to his senses, grabbed Mo Xuan's hand, and his tone was rapid and worried: "Chen Yu, what I'm talking about is if your father-in-law and mother-in-law have an accident or even die suddenly, how would you feel?" ”

Although he didn't understand why Qingyun asked like this, Mo Xuan still said truthfully: "Of course I am grief-stricken! ”

"Grief-stricken? Right! Break one's heart! Qingyun's calm and watery face suddenly overflowed with a strange look, and his eyes flashed with burning essence.

Holding Qingyun's hand tightly with his backhand, he felt her so hard and so tight, his nails were almost embedded in his flesh, Mo Xuan still didn't know the pain, but asked eagerly: "Xiyan, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine!" Qingyun shook his head again and again, the whole person became excited and uncontrollable because of some kind of speculation in his heart, his face turned crimson, and his whole body trembled slightly: "Chen Yu, I'...... I think my father and Concubine Yu must still be ...... Still alive......"

Pursing his lips, Mo Xuan looked at Qingyun and didn't speak.

"What I said is true!"

calmed down his excitement a little, and Qingyun continued: "Whether the sixth brother knows that his father is his biological father, but Concubine Yu is his biological mother, the father and Concubine Yu died suddenly, and the sixth emperor's sister-in-law was grief-stricken and fainted several times;

And after the sixth brother returned to the palace, whether it was the news of the death of his father and Concubine Yu, or the burial of his father and Concubine Yu, although the sixth brother was very sad, I always felt that something was wrong, but I didn't think much about it at the time;

Now that I think about it carefully, there is a faint trace of calm in the sixth brother's grief, isn't it too unreasonable?

There is only one explanation for why the sixth brother is so abnormal, that is, the sixth brother knows that Concubine Yu is still alive! And Concubine Yu has a deep affection for her father, if her father really dies, Concubine Yu will definitely not live alone! Even if the sixth brother had the intention to arrange for Concubine Yu to leave, Concubine Yu would not leave!

Chen Yu, believe me, my father must still be alive, he must still be alive! ”

"I believe in you! Rest assured, no matter the ends of the world, one day we will definitely find our father and concubine! ”
