"It seems that since His Majesty came out of Dali Temple, his temperament has changed greatly, and it can be seen from the matter of Lord Liang!" Lu An said.

"Lord Liang? What's the argument in between? ”

"The slave heard that the lord of Liang was sent out of the palace that day and returned to the Yanwang Mansion, so he was cold-eyed, so he left the Yanwang Mansion alone, and who knew that he would encounter an unexpected ......"

"So that's the case...... Shi Min nodded silently and said, "It seems that Your Majesty has really changed!" ”

"The slave advises the son, don't treat the current majesty as the former king of Yan!"

"I see what you mean!" Shi Min nodded solemnly.

While talking, the two came to the outside of Hongguang Pavilion.

On this day, the weather was clear, and although the weather was a little cold, the sun was really good.

Shi Shi stood in the sun with his hands behind his back and his cloak on his back, his head tilted up, his eyes closed, as if basking in the sun.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Shi Min saluted and shouted.

Shi Shi opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Shi Min, and ordered, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shi Min was respectful.

"The weather was nice today! Let's go, let's go with me! Shi Shi instructed Shi Min.

"Obey the order!"

Shi Shi turned to Lu An and the others and ordered, "You don't have to drive!" ”

"Slaves obey!" Lu An and the others shouted in unison.

"Lu An!"

"The minions are here!"

"Take someone to clean up the Hongguang Pavilion inside and out! Throw away everything that should be thrown away, and change everything that should be replaced! ”

"Slaves obey!"

Shi Min glanced at Shi Shi, Shi Shi's face was grim, and there was no kindness in the past.

The two of them went out of the Hongguang Pavilion and walked under the cloister, the New Year is approaching, and the palace and the palace need to be cleaned up, which is the traditional rule. Along the way, the maidservants and eunuchs kowtowed to the two of them, which made Shi Min quite embarrassed.

"I still remember that when you were a child, you played in the palace, running around, and you didn't cause trouble!" Shi Shi suddenly changed his smiling face, turned his head and said to Shi Min.

"At that time, the minister was young and naughty, which made His Majesty smile." Shi Min responded cautiously.

"Now it's just you and me, just call me Father Emperor!" Shi Shi said, patted Shi Min, and said, "Your father is gone, I am your father-in-law, that is, your father!" ”

"The minister didn't dare to ......"

"Stinky boy!" Shi Shi smiled and poked Shi Min.

The two walked a few more steps, and Shi Shi asked again, "Xin'er is living in the mansion these days, okay?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the whole house is respectful and polite to the princess, and there should be no place for the princess to be wronged."

"Xin'er is the pearl of my palm, you can't let her suffer the slightest grievance!"

Shi Min hurriedly responded: "Yes......"

"Starting tomorrow, the morning dynasty will also stop, tomorrow you can send Xin'er into the palace to stay for a few days!" Shi Shi commanded.

Shi Min nodded in response: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"Since half a year ago, this king was wronged and was imprisoned on death row in Dali Temple, I thought that there would be no time to see the light of day, but I didn't expect your father and Zhang Bao and others to rescue me! Xin'er is also thanks to you for taking care of you! I owe you a great favor! ”

"This is a matter within the Xihua Marquis Mansion, Your Majesty doesn't need to thank you!"

"Shi Zun is evil after all, and he got the end he deserved! All the sufferings I have suffered are due to Him! When Shi Shi said this, his eyes were full of hatred.

"Shi Zun is dead, and the Qingwang Mansion has also been beheaded all over the house, Your Majesty no longer has to worry about the past, now Zhao State, you are the king of a country! That's all that matters! After all, the bitterness is sweet! ”

Hearing Shi Min's words, Shi Shi's face softened slightly, and he said with relief: "Your words are very right!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"There's something I want to ask you!"

Shi Min hurriedly responded: "I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about?" ”

"On the day of the death of the first emperor, I was escorted into the palace by your people, and I was assassinated by a group of black-clothed people on the way, you should know this very well, right?"

Shi Min was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained: "The minister knows about this, but it was Weichen's poor arrangement that frightened His Majesty!" ”

Shi Shi waved his hand and said, "I'm not blaming you!" Get up! ”

Shi Min was a little confused, and immediately stood up again.

"What I want to ask you is, do you have any news about the origin of those people?"

Shi Min shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the next day Weichen will let his subordinates secretly investigate inside and outside Yecheng, but these people can't find the slightest clue, and as for the way to come, Weichen is even more unknown." ”

"At the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, more than a dozen masked men are committing murder in the streets in broad daylight, and I don't even know who sent them! What an irony! ”

"Wei Chen heard from his subordinates that several assassins were killed on the spot by the wolf rider that day, and the corpses should have been taken away by the patrol battalion, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Ning found anything there."

"I have sent someone to the patrol camp as soon as possible, and I want King Ning to find out about this matter as soon as possible, but I always feel that this King Ning is not effective enough to do things! You keep an eye on this matter! ”

"Since Your Majesty has ordered His Royal Highness King Ning to be in charge of this matter, isn't it a bit ...... for Weichen to intervene now?"

"Something?" Shi Shi frowned slightly.

"Weichen has just taken over his father's military power, and he is not familiar with the affairs of the army, not to mention that the minister is a person who practices martial arts, and his mind is not so delicate.

Shi Shi thought for a while, nodded silently, and said, "Okay, then I will make Zhang Bao think about it a little more!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Speaking of military affairs, I am also thinking about it today, there seems to be some problems in the control of soldiers and horses in the court, have you noticed it?"

"Weichen is stupid, I don't know what problems Your Majesty is talking about?"

"The reason why Shi Zun can incite rebellion is, in the final analysis, because he has too much military power at hand! He is an outgoing prince, and he can easily mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses without the emperor's order! If everyone is like this, then what is it? ”

"Your Majesty, Shi Zun is just a special case! This ......"

"No!" Shi Shi waved his hand and said solemnly: "The mobilization of soldiers and horses in various counties and counties cannot be decided by one person!" Gotta keep them at bay! In this way, there will be no threat to the imperial court! ”

"But once the war breaks out and the generals can't give orders in time, what should we do?"

"You have a point! But I have to do something to prevent someone from becoming a second Shizun! Shi Shi said, stopped, put his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter, when the spring begins, it will be brought to the court for the courtiers to discuss." If you think about it, when the first emperor was here, Li Cheng's army only had forty or fifty thousand people on the surface, but he still had 20,000 soldiers in Shizun secretly! That's 60,000 or 70,000 horses! Such a big coming-and-going, the first emperor didn't know anything! It is precisely because there is no one to supervise that Tianwei can't shine there, so they dare to be so unscrupulous! ”

Shi Min didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"On the other hand, he Shizun has to feed 20,000 more people, which is not a simple matter! That's 20,000 mouths to eat! He Shi Zun can hide from the world, what does this mean? ”

"It shows that the disaster relief grain and grass allocated by the imperial court were diverted by him for personal use!"

"Is that more than that? In my opinion, Li Cheng's taxes must be higher than the standards of the imperial court, and the extra part also went into Shi Zun's pocket! This can be seen from the amount of gold and silver confiscated in the Qingwang Mansion! ”

"Your Majesty's analysis is very reasonable!"

"You should also think about it these days, write a plan for me on the matter of military control, and come up with ideas for me!"

"Wechen obeys the ......"
