On the Tai Chi Temple.

Li Ci looked down at the several princes kneeling in front of the emperor.

"Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

King Liang stood up respectfully, not daring to look around, not daring to look up and look directly at the emperor's face.

Even if he is a prince of the Tang Dynasty, if he violates etiquette in this court, he will inevitably be jointly impeached by the ministers.

Li Xi sat on the throne of the dragon chair, looked at King Liang, and said: "King Liang, you are presiding over disaster relief, and now that Shu has been calmed, what do you want me to reward you?"

King Liang said respectfully: "The disaster relief is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers, and I only want to share my majesty's worries, and I don't dare to ask for a reward." ”

"Don't say these beautiful things to me!" Li Ci waved his hand: "There are meritorious rewards and punishments, I still understand this truth." ”

"Say, what do you want?"

Li Xi looked at King Liang and said.

When King Liang heard this, he hesitated: "Back to Your Majesty, on the way to Shudi, Weichen adopted a baby girl, and Weichen promised the mother of the baby girl to take care of the baby girl. ”

Li Ci frowned and asked, "How is the mother of the baby girl now?"

"Your Majesty, the disaster has eased slightly, and Wechen once went back and found that the mother of the baby girl had already starved to death. ”

Li Ci did not speak.

The drought in Shudi, which has not been encountered in a hundred years, coupled with the eunuch Li Jingzhong's deception and concealment, led to a month of inaction in the imperial court.

During this period...

I don't know how many people died of starvation.

Even if Li Ci tried his best to make up for it afterwards, the dead people couldn't survive after all.

Therefore, Weichen wants to ask His Majesty for an identity for the baby girl. ”

"In Chang'an City, there are countless powerful people, and Weichen is worried that the baby girl will be bullied in the future. King Liang bowed and said.

Li Ci pondered for a moment, and then said, "Even if King Liang asks, I should allow it." ”

"Someone!"

"Spread my message, give the baby girl the surname Li, seal the lord of Nanyang, and enjoy the treatment of the Li royal family. ”

As soon as Li Xi's words fell, King Liang's face changed slightly.

He never expected that the emperor would give the baby girl the title of county lord.

"Yes. The eunuch said respectfully.

The civil and military officials naturally have no opinions, and the emperor treats the descendants of Shudi refugees well, and it is also a good story to spread it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the baby girl!" King Liang hurriedly said.

Li Ci smiled and continued: "Li Zhen, the king of Liang, has made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and King Xu, King Bi, and King Huo will be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold. ”

When King Liang and the others heard this, they immediately knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!"

"If it's okay, go home and rest!"

Li Ci said softly.

Then he went back. King Liang immediately said.

King Liang and the others left the Taiji Hall until they came outside the palace, and King Liang suddenly stopped and turned to look at the palace.

This time when he entered the palace, although the emperor agreed to his request and rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold, these were not what King Liang wanted.

What King Liang really desires is to fight one side and expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty like an ordinary general, rather than being trapped in this Chang'an City.

It's a pity that as a prince of the Tang Dynasty, since he was born, the future of King Liang has been determined.

But the appearance of the emperor gave King Liang hope.

All kinds of signs show that His Majesty today is not following the rules and abiding by the ancestral teachings like the previous emperors.

As long as the emperor is willing, he can realize the great ambition in his heart.

However, this time when he entered the palace, the emperor did not mention this matter.

Outside the palace, King Liang felt a little lost in his heart.

It's just that in a short moment, King Liang regained his strength.

King Liang believed that as long as he showed great value and loyalty, sooner or later, the emperor would be able to delegate power to him.

Thinking of this, King Liang immediately turned around and strode away...

...

Tai Chi Temple.

The emperor announced his abdication.

The civil and military officials followed both sides of the royal road in turn and left the Taiji Palace.

Li Xi returned to the Hall of Eternal Life.

When the disaster in Shu was solved, Li Ci was in a good mood, changed into a regular clothes, and prepared to go to the Imperial Garden.

Since Li Ci ascended the throne, he has been busy with government affairs and has never been to the Imperial Garden.

"Stand down, all of you. ”

Li Qiqing retired from the maids and eunuchs who followed him left and right, and came to the imperial garden alone.

In the Imperial Garden.

It includes all the famous flowers in the world.

Li Xi paced slowly, walking in the imperial garden, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

As an emperor, although he holds the greatest power in the world, he also bears the heaviest responsibility in the world.

Just as Li Ci was pondering, a figure suddenly crashed into Li Ci's arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mu Mu didn't mean to..."

A girl with bright eyes staggered and fell to the ground, but she hurriedly got up and apologized timidly.

Li Ci looked at the girl and said casually, "Are you okay?"

The girl hurriedly shook her head: "Mu Mu is fine, it was Mu Mu who bumped into you..."

Li Xi glanced at the girl: "Your name is Mumu?"

The girl blinked her eyes wide, as if she felt that Li Ci was different from the others, and plucked up her courage and said, "My name is Mu Mu, and I take care of the flowers in this place." ”

It turned out to be a gardener from the Imperial Garden...

Li Xi was stunned.

The Imperial Garden was a royal garden, and only the emperor and his concubines had the right to enter.

Now, the emperor has not accepted a concubine, and it is even more unlikely that anyone will come in.

But if the girl is a gardener, it makes sense.

After all, these flowers in the imperial garden are all precious varieties, and they are very delicate and need to be taken care of at all times.

After Mu Mu introduced himself, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Li Ci and stammered: "This... This place is forbidden to mess around, you... Get out of here..."

"No indiscriminate?" Li Ci was noncommittal, and said, "Who did you listen to?"

Mu Mu tilted his head and thought for a while: "Many people have said that the sister in the palace, the very fierce father-in-law, they all told Mu Mu that in this place, no one else can be allowed to come in." ”

"They lied to you!" Li Ci said casually.

"Lie to me?" Mu Mu wondered: "Why did they lie to Mu Mu?"

"They want you to focus on taking care of the flowers. Li Ci casually found a reason.

"That's it..."

Mu Mu seems to understand whether he understands or not.

"Tell me, are there any particularly interesting flowers in this place?" asked Li Ci.

"Interesting flowers?" Mu Mu's eyes were bright, and he directly grabbed Li Ci's arm and pulled Li Ci towards the depths of the imperial garden: "There are many, I'll take you over to see them now." ”

In the imperial garden, the emperor was pulled by the arm by a young girl and trotted all the way.

"There is a flower that is particularly beautiful, it blooms only once in its life, and then it begins to wither, but in the hour it opens, no other flower can compete with it. ”

"Calculate the time, it should be open in a while, Mu Mu will take you to wait now. ”

"Mu Mu assures you that as long as you see that kind of flower, you will definitely like it!"

Mu Mu has also been looking forward to it for a long time. ”

The girl pulled Li Ci's arm, innocent, surrounded by thousands of flowers, fragrant.
