At the same time as solving the king of Dongping, the people in the camp of the king of Dongping arranged by Mi Zi then rebelled, removed all the henchmen of the king of Dongping, and completely took over the power of the king of Dongping.

On the same day, all the people in the court who had colluded with King Pingdong were taken down, and the evidence was detailed, and I don't know how long I had been prepared.

King Dongping, who had the greatest threat to the court, actually withdrew from the stage of history in this way.

Either Caesar or nothing.

The courtiers were impressed by this young emperor and no longer dared to despise him.

The big problem of the henchmen was solved, and Qi Zi's heart was a lot easier, with the king of Dongping being involved, he was still a little constrained in doing things, and now in addition to him, he was in a much better mood.

Then there is the problem of the wealthy families in the south.

"Your Majesty, this is the file of a courtier who has colluded with King Dongping, take a look. Sun Pingling said, "Two people committed serious crimes and were executed, five others were exiled, and the other were dismissed." ”

Mi Zi glanced at it and said, "I've seen it, it's very reasonable, there's no problem, just implement it." ”

"Good. Sun Pingling said, "Your Majesty prepared all night last night, and I haven't closed my eyes for a long time, so take a good rest." Father, they will come to discuss things with you later, and there is still time, you can sleep for a while, and Xiaoqi will call you later. ”

"Got it. Qi Zi said, "You too, you've been busy for a long time, and it's time to take a break!" Pingling, this time, in addition to the king of Dongping, you have made great contributions, and I will reward you well." ”

"No, Your Majesty. Sun Pingling smiled faintly, "This matter should be regarded as a little secret between the courtiers and Your Majesty, I don't want this matter to be known by others, can Your Majesty deal with it?"

"Absolutely. "I don't mean anything else, I just want to reward you." ”

"Sharing worries and solving problems for His Majesty is what a courtier should do, and she doesn't dare to ask for any reward. Sun Pingling smiled slightly, "If Your Majesty doesn't have any other instructions, the courtiers will leave first!"

Sun Pingling left, and when Mi Zi was about to take a nap, the county lord of Leyi came.

Although Qi Zicai had made meritorious achievements, but looking at the face of the county lord Leyi, she didn't seem to be so happy, she sneered: "Your Majesty is capable now?"

Mi Zi hurriedly stood up, clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what I did wrong to make my aunt unhappy?"

"Except for such a big plan as King Dongping, you didn't reveal half a word to me. Lord Leyi sneered, "You really treat your aunt as an outsider now, don't you know if you believe it?" I'm still opposing you to make Jingyao the queen, and I'm afraid that my stupid appearance will be seen by His Majesty and secretly laughed, right?"

"Auntie, don't say that, I really don't mean that! Except for King Dongping's plan, there are inevitably many people who leak the rumors, and only a few people know that they don't deliberately want to hide from their aunt. Mi Zi said, "And then it's my aunt's kindness, I know it in my heart, how can I laugh at my aunt, my aunt is too careful!"

"Duoxin?" Lord Leyi's eyes narrowed slightly, "Am I overhearted?"

"Please aunt believe me!" Mi Zi said, "Auntie is kind to me, aunt is kind to the court, how can I not believe my aunt?"

"Sun Pingling must also know about this, right?" Lord Leyi sneered, "I tried my best to ensure her become the throne before, but now I am the only one who has come and been kept in the dark, hello, very good!"

"I didn't let her reveal the truth about this matter, and my aunt will blame me if she wants to blame it. Qi Zi said.

"Now that you've done this well, I won't say anything more, let me ask you, what are you going to do next?" asked the county lord of Leyi.

"Auntie mean?"

"Nature is your life's work. Lord Leyi said, "Since Jing Yao is just a pretense, who is the woman you like the most in your heart?"

"The big wedding has always been a front, and now is not the time. Qi Zi said.

"What do you think of the Zhao family?" asked the county lord of Leyi, "This time I went to the south, and I saw the young lady Zhao Yan from the Zhao family, and I was shocked, and I got along with her for many days, but I only felt that this girl was full of talent, and it was a match made in heaven with you!"

"Zhao family?" Qi Zi's eyebrows raised slightly, "The Zhao family, the largest family in the south?"

"What do you think?" asked the Lord of Leyi.

"I haven't seen anyone, how can I answer you, aunt?"

"What if you see it? What if you don't see it? Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, her identity is worthy of you, not to mention that girl I have personally seen, don't you believe in my aunt's vision?" said the county lord of Leyi, "If you make her the queen, you will definitely be able to win the hearts of the southern scholars, and now that the treasury is empty, they will definitely help you." ”

Qi Zi didn't reply immediately, thought for a while, and said, "Didn't my aunt like Sun Pingling before? Why did she change her mind so quickly?"

"So the decision is just a matter of weighing the pros and cons. Lord Leyi said, "Of course, Sun Pingling is also a good girl, you can make her a concubine, but in terms of the current situation in the court, Miss Zhao is even more suitable." For the sake of the peace of the court, Your Majesty, you need to think about this matter!"

"Don't worry, auntie, I will. Qi Zi smiled faintly.

After sending away the county lord of Leyi, Mi Zi still didn't have time to rest, and several ministers of Sun Taifu also came to him to discuss important matters.

These things were concluded many days ago, so the discussion went smoothly, and at the end of the day, they also asked about the queen's candidate, and naturally felt that Sun Pingling was the best candidate.

Mi Zi didn't refuse immediately, nor did she agree immediately, but when she talked about her current elders, she had to ask her what she meant after her current elders.

Mrs. Sun retreated with a gloomy face, afraid that he was thinking about how to get the county lord of Leyi to agree to make his daughter the queen.

After seeing all the people who had changed their views, Mi Zi didn't sleep anymore, and went outside to relax, and unconsciously came to Mo Ziyu.

He stepped into the courtyard, Mo Ziyu sat on the stone steps to grind medicine, he walked in and sat down beside her.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have solved the big problem of your henchmen. Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Now the rivers and mountains of Nanchu are completely under your control, right?"

Qi Zi smiled faintly: "How can it be so easy for you to think, this court is not as stable as you think." Now the court is divided into two factions, one is the group of old ministers left by the father, and the other is the southern forces led by the lord of Leyi, they are secretly more energetic, and now they all hope to control the choice of the queen. I'm also struggling to balance their relationship on weekdays, and it's also a headache! But solving the king of Dongping is indeed a happy thing. ”

"Your queen, aren't you the final say?" Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Anyway, you have a harem of three thousand, although there is only one queen, but there are more concubines in the other places, you can always find a balance, right?"

"The things above the court are enough for me to worry about, and I don't want this harem to be unstable in the future. What you said is the most labor-saving method, but there are many hidden dangers in the future. Qi Zi said, "My father is the only one with my mother, when the queen mother gave birth to two daughters in a row, the ministers suggested that the father take a concubine, but the father did not agree, and the queen mother gave birth to me the next year." My father and mother are the most loving couples I have ever met, because there are no such messy women, and their relationship has always been very good, so it turns out that there are fewer messy women in the back house, and there can be a lot less! My queen must be only one person!"

"Very good!" Mo Ziyu smiled faintly, "If men have your consciousness, there will be no jealousy in this world." ”

Qi Zi sat closer to Mo Ziyu and continued: "I know, you still want to avenge Lu Qiao, but it's not the right time yet. Behind my aunt are the people of the southern wealthy clan, if they are in chaos, the foundation of Southern Chu will be shaken, so they must be stabilized now! My aunt wants me to make the daughter of the Zhao family the queen, if I am giving birth to an heir, then the country of Southern Chu will be controlled by the people of the southern Shi clan, this is absolutely impossible. Their hands are stretched too far, and I have to do something. ”

He looked at Mo Ziyu and said, "You wait a little longer, everything will go as you wish." ”

"I know, I'm not going to mess around. Mo Ziyu said, "If there is anything you need me to talk to Qin Yi, just tell us." ”

Mo Ziyu stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Mi Zi and asked, "Mi Zi, are you happy now?"

The smile on Qi Zi's face was slightly stiff, and he asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?"

"I'm just asking, and I can see that although you have solved one trouble after another, and overcome one difficulty after another, you don't seem happy. Mo Ziyu said, "You are becoming more and more like an emperor, and you are not lacking in courage, means, and wisdom, but you are becoming less and less like yourself." ”

Mi Zi lowered his eyes and said: "They all said that this is my responsibility, no one has asked me if I am happy, it doesn't matter if I am happy or not, for everyone, the stability and prosperity of Nanchu is the most important thing, gradually, I also think so, everything must be given way for the responsibility of an emperor." I myself am compromising step by step, you are my only insistence, the only risk I want to take. ”

"There's nothing wrong with anyone, it's just providence. Mo Ziyu smiled faintly, "If I had met you earlier, maybe everything would have changed." Actually, we met quite early, many years ago, we met, but now I am, you can't recognize me. ”
