Li Guanqi stretched out his hand, gently held He Bijun's little hand, moved it inside, pulled He Bijun to lie down on the bed, gently hugged her, and said with a smile: "How can I not like you?" I can't bear to have an accident with you, who told us to make such a poisonous oath on our wedding night? ”

When He Bijun heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I believe this, you called my name many times in a coma. ”

Li Guanqi scratched He Bijun's nose, smiled and said, "You are my queen, I naturally think about you in my dreams!" ”

"But!" He Bijun supported her chin with both hands, frowned and said, "There is another one named Hanyan, you call more often, who is she?" ”

"Uh......" Li Guanqi seemed to have eaten a bitter olive in his mouth, and stayed on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

"Is it the woman who took you away and tortured you later?" He Bijun said with a serious face, "You must hate her very much, that's why you still remember her in a coma, right?" ”

"Ah...... Yes, yes......" Li Guanqi hurriedly said as he got off the donkey.

After all, he is a young man, and all he has suffered is skin trauma, and within a few days, Li Guanqi is alive again. During the period of recuperation, Empress Dowager You and He Bijun also asked him about some things during the exile, and he prevaricated with various excuses, because he couldn't make up his mind to meet Zhao Zheng and them for a while.

As for Guanjiazhuang's side, Li Guanqi did not send troops, but just asked He Ziming and Wuming to take a look in private, and sure enough, as he expected, they had already gone to Zhuangkong.

However, the eldest princess Li Xiuxin was grounded by the order of the Queen Mother, although she pleaded that she was held hostage by Zhao Zheng, but just a crime of trespassing in the prison doomed the Queen Mother to educate her well.

And so. The kidnapping of the emperor was such a big thing, and with the deliberate efforts of people with good intentions, it did not cause any major fluctuations in the end, at least on the surface.

Although Empress Dowager You, He Bijun and Imperial Physician all advised Li Guanqi to rest for a few more days, when the last wound also scabbed, Li Guanqi said that he would not stay in Kunning Palace at all. He wants to go back to the Qinzheng Palace to convene the Imperial Council.

Several cabinet ministers signed up to enter, and before they had time to pay homage, Li Guanqi waved his hand again and again, and said: "Okay, okay, this is not the court, don't worship, sit down!" ”

After taking a seat, Qin Minzhong took the lead and said: "There are ministers above the court who share worries about the monarch. The emperor is in poor health, and he should rest more! ”

Li Guanqi smiled and said: "Gong Mian (Qin Minzhong's character), when did you learn this set of sycophants?" I don't know? I didn't show up for the pro-ploughing ceremony, the great court meeting was broken again for no reason, and the rumors outside were about to turn the sky upside down, and I won't come out again, can you three really hold on? ”

Li Guanqi's words made the three cabinet ministers all bow their heads involuntarily. The facts are indeed as Li Guanqi said, although the news of the emperor's exile has been strictly kept secret from beginning to end. But it can't stand the deliberate rumors created by well-intentioned people.

At first, officials were still unconvinced of things like Li Guanqi's assassination. The gossip that he was seriously injured and died in a day, but as time went by, Li Guanqi did not show up for a long time, and no matter how determined he was, he began to waver. Qin Minzhong, the three cabinet ministers, is naturally the best candidate for hundreds of officials to seek answers. But the three of them stayed in the palace for several days without going out, which increased the credibility of the rumors.

Now, although they know that Li Guanqi is indeed fine, other people still can't see Li Guanqi, and the rumors have not weakened at all. The three cabinet ministers don't have any office on weekdays. All the energy is spent fighting the rumors.

Seeing Qin Min's embarrassed appearance, Li Guanqi knew that what he expected was not bad, and said with a light smile: "I know that the rumors outside are very strong now, and in the face of rumors, any explanation will seem so pale and powerless. So the best thing to do is for me to appear directly in front of the public, so that all the rumors will be self-defeating. ”

Zhao Pu, the youngest of the three cabinet ministers, and the most daring to speak, listened to Li Guanqi's words, and said in a deep voice: "What the emperor said is very true. It's just that the minister thinks that if the emperor shows up specifically, it will be too much. It's better to wait for the day of the big court meeting, and then naturally meet with the officials above the fourth grade in Beijing, and the day after tomorrow is February 20, and now it is the 10th day, which is the day of the big court meeting, and the emperor does not need to wait for a long time. ”

Li Guanqi nodded silently and said, "Zhao Pu is right. If I had recklessly summoned my ministers to meet now, I would have been in love with each other. But now that the rumors have spread to the people, it is only to meet the officials above the fourth grade during the court meeting, and the effect will be greatly reduced. ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Guanqi continued: "That's it. The day after tomorrow is still canceled! ”

"Huh?" The three cabinet ministers immediately stared at each other and were dumbfounded: Did the emperor hurt his head in the past few days when he was taken captive? The day after tomorrow will be canceled again, so isn't it really going to turn the sky upside down? ”

"Ahh Li Guanqi scolded with a smile and said, "I haven't finished my words yet, what are you anxious about?" ”

"Chen Menglang!" Qin Min and the others hurriedly confessed.

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, and then said, "Didn't the previous February 2nd pro-ploughing ceremony be canceled because of my poor health?" Now that I'm done, and the time hasn't come out of February, this land can still be cultivated! Later, when this side is over, you will go out to spread the decree, the day after tomorrow the great court meeting will be canceled, and all the officials in Beijing will gather at the Xiannongtan, and I will make up for this pro-farming ceremony! When the time comes, there will be both officials and ordinary people, let them take a good look! ”

Qin Min and the others looked at each other, and they all felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Guanqi's approach, and it was the most direct way to eliminate the influence of rumors, so they said in unison: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Li Guanqi turned to Yang Bozheng again and said, "Haoduan, when is this year's Spring Festival?" ”

Yang Bozheng raised his head and said: "Originally, according to the old practice, it should have been the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth days of the first month of February, but because the emperor was not there, the ministers and others discussed and pushed back the time by a month. It was changed to the 9th, 12th, and 15th of March. ”

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "You are still the main examiner in this subject!" Let Lin Bai do it. This is the first scientific expedition since I ascended the throne, and we should pay special attention to it. Scientific research is a great ceremony for the country to select talents, and it is a major event related to the selection of talents, the prosperity of the country, and political stability. We must be fair, we must be public, and we must not be partial. ”

Yang Bozheng bowed his head slightly and said: "Please rest assured that the emperor will ensure that the ministers will ensure that they are fair and will not be partial." ”

Li Guanqi shook his head lightly and said, "For Haoduan's character, I am naturally relieved. Corruption and bribery, you and Lin Bai are disdainful. But I have heard that you are particularly fond of good students who write poetry, and this is also a selfish intention, and I need to correct it. ”

Seeing that Li Guanqi said solemnly, Yang Bozheng also replied solemnly: "The minister understands! (To be continued......)
