Chapter 36: I'm getting married
Li Guanqi found that the Queen Mother was not as easy to convince as he imagined, so he had to resort to delaying the army: "After all, this is my life's event, why don't you let me make my own decisions?" ”
Empress Dowager You let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turned out to be for this." Except for the queen, the concubine is up to you, you should be satisfied now, right? ”
"But, but ......"
"But what? What else would you not want to do? Empress Dowager You's face dropped again.
At this point, Li Guanqi had no choice but to sigh and once again resort to a roundabout strategy: "At present, the treasury is already impoverished, the war in the northwest needs a huge amount of military salaries, and the drought in the southwest also needs relief, and it is already beyond his means. If you want to hold a big wedding ceremony for me at this time, it will definitely cost a lot of money......"
Li Guanqi remembered that after he crossed over, he thought that he could be a carefree emperor and enjoy himself every day. But who knew that the soldiers of the dynasty that took over were poor and poor, disasters and droughts were frequent, the people of Li were hungry and cold, the countryside was barren, and all industries were withered. Nima, it's clearly a mess, okay?
is not in his position and does not seek his own government, Li Guanqi once again tasted the sweetness and bitterness of being an emperor. Why are there so many things that don't go your way? Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything is troublesome!
Li Guanqi's words of "worrying about the country and the people" made Empress Dowager You feel gratified, after all, her son did not live up to his expectations and was a good son of heaven who was diligent in state affairs. But this also inspired her to let Li Guanqi get married immediately, such a good emperor cannot be without the assistance of the queen.
So Empress Dowager You slowed down her tone and said softly: "It's hard for you to cherish the people." Being a mother will not embarrass you, and the cost of this wedding does not have to be all from the treasury. There are still 10,000 taels of silver for the mother, so I will take it out and give you all the auspicious gifts for the wedding. ”

When Xiao Ying came in, Li Guanqi was lying on the couch and hadn't gotten up yet, and yesterday he finally failed to persuade the Queen Mother to let him not hold the wedding for the time being, plus Yue'er was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, Li Guanqi was really a little disheartened for a while. Although it has only been more than two months since he crossed over, Li Guanqi's state of mind has already undergone drastic changes that he has never experienced in his life.
At first glance, when he found that he had traveled to an unfamiliar time and space, Li Guanqi's initial reaction was dazed; After a brief moment of bewilderment, he was delighted; Then he found that many things were not as simple as he originally thought, and naturally he had a certain impatience; Now when he suddenly found that he couldn't even protect a girl around him, and he couldn't make the decision on his own marriage, that sense of powerlessness and frustration suddenly crushed him......
"Maybe I really should be a puppet emperor who doesn't care about anything and just enjoys himself, anyway, he is not the real emperor of this Great Qian Dynasty, so why bother to worry about this and that? What's more, all this may just be a dream of oneself, and it is still a question whether the time and space in which one lives exists or not. Li Guanqi looked at the ceiling of the wellhead with the golden dragon pattern on the ceiling of the hall, and his eyes didn't move for a long time, but his heart was constantly turning over the river and the sea.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Ying screamed softly.
Li Guanqi glanced at Xiao Ying out of the corner of his eye, and said helplessly: "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”
"Go back to the emperor. Lord Rui asked to see him, and now he is waiting outside the palace. Xiao Ying replied in a low voice. Since the eunuchs were rectified by Li Guanqi once, Xiao Ying was still very jealous of this young master, and seeing that Li Guanqi's expression was obviously unhappy, he naturally redoubled his caution.
"Nope." Li Guanqi said angrily. King Rui is with the Queen Mother, so he naturally has a conflict in his heart.
"But." Xiao Ying was cowardly for a moment, but still said: "Your Majesty, Prince Rui is different from others, and it is not good to refuse to see him." "Xiao Ying is a person from Taiwei He Zhuguo, and He Zhuguo is an old subordinate of King Rui, Xiao Ying naturally hopes that the emperor and King Rui can have a harmonious relationship.
Li Guanqi turned over and sat up and said, "Who is currently sitting on the dragon chair of the Great Qian Dynasty?" ”
"Of course it's the emperor." Xiao Ying listened to Li Guanqi's unkind tone, his legs were weak, and he knelt down and said.
"Okay, since I am still the emperor, then my words are still holy decrees, don't you know what the crime of disobeying the decree is?"
Xiao Ying was almost frightened by this sentence, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid will go to pass on the emperor's message." After saying that, he crawled out and retreated.
Looking at Xiao Ying's embarrassed appearance, Li Guanqi unconsciously felt funny in his heart. No wonder there are nearly 400 emperors in the Chinese history I am familiar with, but the Holy Lord Mingjun can count them on his fingers? It turns out that the feeling of being an unreasonable faint gentleman is more worry-free and happy than being a painstaking Ming Jun.
But this kind of happy feeling is not the feeling I want, no matter how I say it, I am a dignified seven-foot man, and I shouldn't be shaking my majesty at the eunuchs and palace maids in the inner courtyard of this deep palace. Since he has crossed into this world and become an emperor, he should create a great cause as he said when he started the year. But if you want to realize this dream, the first step is to sit firmly on your throne.
Thinking of this, Li Guanqi felt that he shouldn't stay in bed anymore, so he jumped up and said to a little eunuch standing under the porch outside: "You go and pass on my message, and let Zhao Puyu Garden see you." After saying that, he didn't say anything else, and turned around and walked out of the dormitory.
Zhao Pu hadn't seen Li Guanqi for nearly ten days since the last time he saw him, and he had also heard about Li Guanqi going to Xuanwu Lake to guard the horses, and he actually didn't agree with Li Guanqi's move, because he felt that doing so would only make Zu Donglai more wary of Li Guanqi. Before Li Guanqi's foothold was stable, Zu Donglai's wariness of Li Guanqi was as low as possible. But now that he has chosen to be loyal to the emperor, he must use his talents to assist him.
Zhao Pu was thinking about all kinds of things in his mind, and at the same time, he was led by the little eunuch to the place where he saw him last time-Tiren Pavilion.
Li Guanqi is rarely wearing a sapphire blue robe today, lined with a plain white gauze robe, and he is not wearing a crown, and his long black hair is only tied up with a piece of white jade. When he saw Zhao Pu coming in, he smiled and said, "I'm getting married." ”
