152. If I am the emperor, I must be the queen

Chapter 152: If I am the emperor, Ah Kite must be the queen

Xue Li stood in place and did not move, and Dingguo Gong also stood in place and did not move. So the civil and military officials, you look at me, I look at you, tacitly chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretend to be stupid, in short, just don't give way.

Most of his eyes gradually moved to Su Qingkite's body. - Not friendly at all.

Su Qingyuan knew that this was to force her to take care of her face and take the initiative to back down.

But when did Su Qingyuan take care of face?

She leaned towards Lu Li's side and hugged his arm.

Lu Li glanced down at her and smiled.

"Queen Mother, you can't ......" Dingguo Gong hesitated and coughed embarrassedly.

Lu Li frowned: "The title of Dingguo Gong is wrong. You should call her 'Miss Ling'. Of course, it's okay to call 'Niangniang' in advance. ”

Dingguo Gong tugged at his beard and knelt down heavily: "Does the emperor insist on doing such a rebellious thing?" Mother and son are rebellious, disregarding the way of heaven, almost no different from beasts, please think twice! ”

"Please think twice!" More than half of the officials knelt on the ground with Ding Guogong.

Most of the people standing were young generals. Although they did not echo, they were also staring at Su Qingyuan with reproachful eyes, as if they wanted to eat her alive.

Lu Li clenched Su Qingyu's hand and smiled indifferently: "It's not the first time I've 'disregarded the way of heaven', and it's not the first day of 'insulting ethics'. Ding Guogong has always been an insider, since he has pretended to be deaf and dumb for so long, how can he not bear it now? Could it be that the same thing, if it is hidden, it is not considered 'disregard for the way of heaven', and it can only be regarded as being made public to the world? According to this reason, the so-called 'Heavenly Dao' is probably just a deceptive thing! ”

Ding Guogong's face became more and more ugly, and he stiffened for a moment before he said: "The so-called 'Heavenly Dao' is the eternal way of all things in heaven and earth, and it is also the sincere heart of the people of the world!" Now the emperor is only for the sake of a momentary feeling, ignoring the principle of heaven and earth, and in the future, South Vietnam will inevitably become a country of birds and beasts, and the virtue of the sage's education for thousands of years will be destroyed in one fell swoop! ”

"Sneer......" Su Qingyuan couldn't hold back and laughed.

Dingguo Gong raised his head and glared angrily.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help laughing, and looked at Dingguo Gong in distress: "Sure enough, the old man is old, and his memory is not good!" How many times has Lu Li said before, the queen he wants to canonize is not 'Su Qingyu', but 'Ling Qiao'er', where is it involved? Dingguo Gong can't assume that we are the same person just because I am a little similar to the first emperor's Empress Xiaohui, right? ”

Dingguo Gong frowned: "Now that the truth of the matter is known to everyone, even if the historians of the imperial court dare not write scribble, it is inevitable that there will be good deeds among the people by word of mouth!" A hundred years later, how many unbearable words in the wild history and miscellaneous talks, can the emperor ignore them? ! ”

Lu Li narrowed his eyes irritably, already very impatient: "The matter between me and Ah Kite, the people have long been talking about it, even if I don't set up this queen, the wild history and miscellaneous talk in a hundred years will not be easy to see!" Dingguo Gong stopped me and Ah Kite here today, what kind of result do you want me to give you? Give up the post? Or - killed the kite? ”

"This ......" Ding Guogong hesitated.

He insisted that Su Qingyuan must not be a queen again, but this problem has obviously been solved perfectly, and he and the civil and military officials only need to pretend to believe that the woman in front of them is 'Ling Qiao'er, the daughter of the foreign man of the ministry'.

So, what exactly is he holding onto?

What kind of answer did he want Lu Li to give him?

Let this 'Ling Qiao'er' in front of you also die?

Not to mention Lu Li's reluctance, even he himself is a little unbearable now.

Ding Guogong pondered for a long time and was speechless.

"Worship the political envoy?" Lu Li turned to Xue Li.

The latter hesitated, and only after a long time did he say: "The emperor is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he should practice virtue in order to be respected and loved by the people of the world." Right and wrong are turbid, not in the mouth of the world, not in the wild history of later generations, but in the hearts of the people. The Su family has two masters in one body, and the woman's morality is not cultivated, and it is unbearable to be the queen, so the ministers ask the emperor to think twice. ”

Lu Li saw that Su Qingyuan was tired of standing, so he simply hugged her and sat down on the chair again, and smiled slightly: "Ah Kite is indeed 'not cultivating women's virtues', and it just so happens that I have never 'cultivated virtue', isn't this just a couple?" If you choose a perfect queen for me, maybe the children will think that I am not innocent and unworthy of being a husband. ”

Xue Li felt that he was reasonable, but he was unwilling to admit it, so he had to answer indiscriminately: "The emperor is joking." ”

"I don't have the heart to laugh with you!" Lu Li's face sank.

Xue Li still wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Li gave him time to speak, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Lu Li sneered slightly: "I understand what you mean - now that the Su thieves have been eliminated and the four seas are calm, you can set up a new king!" Although Lu Junnuo is young, he is smart and smart, and his future is promising, and he is indeed much better than me, the notorious father and mother killer! If you want to have a new Lord, you can say it plainly, but why beat around the bush! ”

These words were said more heavily, and the ministers were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted "don't dare".

Lu Li stood in front of everyone with Su Qingyuan in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Whether you 'don't dare' or 'don't want to', I will put everything I need to say here today - if I am the emperor, Ah Kite must be the queen; If you have any objections, I can issue an edict to abdicate at any time, and you can choose another emperor who is willing to be at your mercy! ”

The ministers immediately panicked, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted "forgive sins".

Su Qingyuan was relieved.

They didn't even beat the snake with the stick, and it seems that they have no plans to change the emperor for the time being.

Lu Li's face did not get better.

He was really annoyed by these people today.

It took him so much effort to come up with this Li Dai Tao stiff plan, who knew that there were many branches, first the plan was disrupted by a poisoning, and then it was turned upside down by Ling Qiao'er, and now there are such a bunch of old things to come out of the way - this kind of taste is really annoying!

When Lu Li was already "furious", if anyone dared to come forward, that person must be Xue Li.

After thinking about it for a while, this Lord Xue pointed the finger at Su Qingyuan again: "The fate of the Su family is unlucky, and the first emperor died on the day after the first seal; Now he has deceived the Lord with a fox, causing the saint to lose his virtue and disregard for morality...... How can such a demonic woman be the mother of a country! Please ask the emperor to plan for the world, it is not too late to rein in the precipice at this time! ”

"Lord Xue," Su Qingyuan squatted down in front of Xue Li, "believe it or not, if there were no you in the court, my 'life' would be much better than now." ”

Xue Li didn't dare to touch Su Qingyu's gaze, so he had to bury his head deeply, pretending not to hear her words.

Lu Li helped Su Qingyuan to stand up and glanced around at everyone: "You mean the same thing?" ”

The ministers all had some activity in their hearts, and no one responded.

In fact, this topic has been on and off for more than half a year, and most people already think that it doesn't matter. But except for a few generals who climbed up purely by military merit, everyone else had read the books of sages. In front of a group of people who have also read the books of the sages, no one wants to be the first to admit that they have taken something unethical for granted.

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Lu Li lowered his head and glanced at Xue Li, and sneered: "If you just calmed down today, you immediately remembered that Ah Yuan's fate was unlucky?" Previously, when Ah Kite saved your lives in the Water Pavilion of Qingyin Pond Pavilion, when he offered his plan to repair books and disturbed the hearts of the Su thief army, when he was poisoned and was about to die, he tested the medicine for me...... Why didn't anyone jump out and say that she was 'unlucky'? For the sake of the peace of me and South Vietnam, Ah Kite turned her back on her parents, fought for her life, and was born and died several times, but you said that she was 'a fox and a fool'? If it weren't for me, her 'life' would be very good! She has never charmed me over the years, and it is me who refuses to let go, not her! ”

Xue Li's face was red, and he was still unwilling to admit defeat: "The emperor is in the game, so naturally he doesn't know...... The Su clan is a remnant of the Wu clan, and his mother had close contacts with the Divine Sparrow vassal country that destroyed the country twenty years ago, and I am afraid that Yu Meishu also studied it along the way! The emperor is not in a good relationship with such a demon girl, and he is only afraid that it will be difficult to ensure that nothing will happen in the future......"

"Who told you these things? Ling Qiao'er? Lu Li asked sharply.

Xue Li bowed his head and was silent.

Lu Li sneered: "That demon girl has put in a lot of work - in this way, you would rather accept a woman who is scheming to make waves and only knows pleasure and ignores the people's livelihood as the mother of a country, rather than accept the fact that I want to marry a kite?" ”

Xue Li raised his head and said solemnly: "Yes." South Vietnam prospers the country with courtesy, although it is clothed and pale, it does not marry the daughter of the second marriage; The emperor is the lord of the world, how can he make a second married daughter as the queen? How will the emperor face the ancestors of the past dynasties, and how will he face the ancient and modern sages? ”

"Ha," Lu Li suddenly smiled, "Ancient and modern sages, that's your 'sages'!" I am not a hypocrite who reads books of the dead, and it is not the turn of the 'sages' to call the shots in my private affairs! As for the ancestors of the past dynasties, Xue Qing is afraid that he has forgotten that the filial piety queen of the great grandfather of this dynasty is from Shanrong! Shanjung customs, after the death of the father, if the son refuses to marry the stepmother, he is afraid that he will be accused of unfilial piety! ”

Xue Li was speechless for a while.

Lu Li snorted coldly and continued: "Since you insist on getting to the bottom of it, I have no choice but to tell the truth - Ah Kite is not a 'second married daughter', she has only been with me from beginning to end!" When the first emperor removed filial piety for 100 days, the words that Su thief accused me of were true! It was I who forced Ah Kite to have an affair with me regardless of Lun, and it was I who forced Ah Kite to conceive my child! If you have anything to scold, just rush to me, you don't have to splash all the dirty water on Ah Kite's body! ”

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and the ministers were terrified and did not dare to speak.

Su Qingyuan walked over, grabbed Lu Li's hand, and shook his head slightly.

Lu Li sighed and softened his face: "Dingguo Gong, Chongzheng Envoy, you have known about the matter of me and Ah Kite since the beginning. Especially Dingguo Gong, at that time, Ah Kite was forced by me to have no way out, and you know how difficult the situation is! Now that she has survived, and I have sobered up, we should all be happy, why can't you get along with her? ”

Ding Guogong sighed and was speechless.

Originally, he stopped Lu Li from becoming Su Qingyi, because the previous things were too unbearable, for fear that Lu Li's reputation would be damaged.

Now that Lu Li has said everything that shouldn't be said, there is no point in him stopping it.

If you accept Lu Li to continue to be the emperor, you must do your duty as a courtier and continue to help him cover up the things that should be covered; If you need to change to a morally perfect emperor - the only candidate is too young!

It was a difficult choice, and Dingguo Gong almost had to pull out his beard.

Lu Li took Su Qingyuan's hand, walked around everyone, and said in a deep voice: "If you haven't made up your mind in your own hearts, you might as well think about it tonight; If I haven't thought about it after returning to Beijing, I may not be happy to abdicate! ”

It's finally quiet.

Lu Li hugged the tired Su Qingyuan upstairs to rest, and he also felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Su Qingyuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him: "You don't actually have to quarrel with them like this......

Lu Li sat at the table, still angry: "Those old things, one by one, are wolf-hearted, and they are not weak at all when they scold others!" ”

"Seriously," Su Qingyuan bit the corner of her lip, "The daughter of the second marriage is indeed not welcomed, not to mention that I am not an ordinary remarriage." It is human nature for them to feel awkward in their hearts. ”

"I'm not embarrassed myself, where is their turn to talk more!" Su Qingqi snorted.

Su Qingyuan smiled.

This time, Lu Li was defending her from beginning to end, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.

In fact, what Lu Li wants to do more is to take the opportunity to correct her name, right? Those hidden things from a long time ago don't have to be told all the time.

Now that everything is on the surface, it is equivalent to exposing the lies that he had worked so hard to tell before. Seriously, her face was a little hot.

Especially thinking that she poured so much dirty water on the body of the former emperor in order to explain the child's affairs in the water pavilion,—— those people came back to their senses at this time, and they didn't know how to scold her!

Su Qingyuan was bored for a while, and suddenly laughed again: Although the first emperor is not a good thing, it is quite pitiful to think about it - even if he was cuckolded by his "son" after death, he still has to carry such a big black pot, how can he be so miserable!

Lu Li heard Su Qingyu's laughter, so he rubbed over and sat beside her: "Laughing so treacherously, who are you going to calculate?" ”

"How dare I calculate whom? It's always been someone else who calculates me! Su Qingyuan was a little aggrieved.

Lu Li thought about it, and nodded thoughtfully: "Yes." My kite is pure and kind, and never cares about others. ”

Su Qingyuan was weak in his heart, and immediately felt that he was being sarcastic, and his face became even more aggrieved.

At this time, Xiao Luzi brought someone to bring food and tea, and said by the way: "It has been dealt with." There happened to be a Yizhuang nearby, and a thin coffin was made, and someone was hired to carry it out and bury it in a mass grave. ”

Su lightly hurt his kite and felt that his chest was a little blocked.

Lu Li pulled her to the table and sat down, and persuaded: "That woman is innocent, don't think about it." ”

Su Qingyuan frowned and looked at him.

Death is too good for him?

Lu Li had to explain to her: "A few days ago, you and I were poisoned, you fell into the hands of Aunt Nian, and I was busy fighting again, but I didn't know until yesterday that she had already set off a lot of turmoil in the post house - she first used your identity to make the officials and chamberlains who stayed in the inn dare not slack off, and then spread the news everywhere that I was on the battlefield with you...... In this way, everyone knows that there are two 'Ling Qiao'er' inside and outside Bozhou City, and I can't get rid of her quietly. ”

Su Qingyuan was surprised: "She's quite smart!" ”

Lu Li snorted heavily: "I'm afraid there are still a lot of her 'smart' points." When the news of my poisoning came back to the hotel, the officials couldn't help but worry, so she spread rumors everywhere, saying that she saw you stabbing me with a knife, and that the poisoning was naturally done by you. Fortunately, although those old things are bastards, they are not very confused, otherwise I am afraid that they will not be able to tell! ”

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and hooked the corners of her lips: "Then I can't blame her." After all, it's true that I stabbed you with a knife, and I have half of what I said about poisoning - even if those are made out of nothing, in order to protect themselves, of course, people must have to come up with some ideas, otherwise will they sit still and wait for death? ”

"Then, what about her bewitching the old people of Fanghua Palace, investigating your hidden affairs, and then adding fuel and vinegar to spread it?" Lu Li asked.

Su Qingyuan frowned: "What's going on?" ”

Lu Li gritted his teeth: "I know that woman is restless, but I still underestimate her ambitions." Since she entered the palace on the first day, she has often deliberately pretended to be you and asked those little girls in Fanghua Palace who are not very sensible about the news. I always thought she was just trying to imitate you, but she learned that you were a witch and that she had somehow heard that you had practiced charming! This time, you and I have experienced life and death, but she is making waves in Bozhou, and she actually spread rumors that I was poisoned by you with witchcraft and bewitched by charm...... In such a short time, she can figure it out! ”

"It's a pity that she couldn't save her life after so much effort." Su Qingyuan sighed a little.

"She's damned, this was already doomed the moment she decided to enter the palace under an impostor." Lu Li didn't feel the slightest guilt towards Ling Qiao'er.

Su Qingyuan is not a good person, and after a little emotion, he is at ease.

Both of them knew that today's business was not over yet, so neither of them had much to think about laughing.

After a few mouthfuls of food, Su Qingyuan was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and she couldn't wait to get into the quilt immediately and sleep in the dark.

However, looking at the clothes on her body, she cried again.

She has been wearing this sackcloth mourning dress for three days. There were blood stains and sweat stains, and the whole garment had become stinky and hard, and it was so uncomfortable and uncomfortable to stick to the body.

You can't just sleep like this, can you?

Lu Li saw her embarrassment, deliberately didn't speak, took a few books and sat in front of the window to read them.

Su Qingyuan turned around a few times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed out the door and instructed Xiao Luzi to prepare hot water and a change of clothes for her.

Lu Li just turned a blind eye, looking like he didn't care about himself.

The hot water was delivered, the bath bucket was also set, and Su Qingyuan was anxious: "Do you want to avoid it!" ”

"Why should I avoid it?" Lu Li looked innocent.

Su Qingyuan was angry: "I want to take a bath, do you want to peek?" ”

Lu Li blinked, puzzled: "Why did I peek?" ”

"Then you're going to get out!" Su Qingyuan walked over and snatched the piece from his hand, trying to pull him up.

Lu Li leaned on the chair and refused to move: "I don't need to peek, but I want to look openly." - Why, can't you? ”

Su Qingyuan was so angry that her face turned purple.

Lu Li stood up and added with a smile: "Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it before!" ”

"When have you seen it?!" Su Qingyuan was shocked.

Lu Li curled the corners of his lips and glanced away.

It's so empty-hearted! Definitely a peek! This stinky shameless thing! - Su Qingkite is on fire.

Lu Li casually scooped her into his arms and neatly helped her untie her mourning clothes: "Old husband and wife, where else have I not touched?" What are you squirming at this time! ”

"Hey, you're shameless!" Su Qingyuan jumped to her feet in anger.

This jump, broken.

The style of the mourning dress was originally simple, and the only two silk silks were untied by Lu Li, and when she jumped, the whole dress slid down with a "swish".

Su Qingyuan was in a hurry and couldn't cover it, so she had to "rub" and jump into the bathtub all at once.

Well, the tub is empty.

Lu Li didn't call the little palace maids to come over to serve, and the eunuchs didn't get the order and didn't dare to overstep their bounds, so the bucket was only placed next to it, and no one served her in place.

So Su Qingkite was even more embarrassed.

Lu Li smiled and lay on the edge of the barrel: "Niangniang, the little one is here to serve you?" ”

Su Qingkite curled up in the barrel and glared at him angrily.

Lu Li laughed, slowly picked up half a bucket of warm water, and poured it on her body little by little in Su Qingyu's murderous gaze.

"Mother, is the water temperature good?" Lu Li laughed.

Su Qingyuan brushed her wet hair and gritted her teeth: "When you get the water, the sky will be bright!" ”

"Ah, that's bad news!" Lu Li woke up like a dream, and suddenly sped up his movements as if he had clockwork.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Su Qingyuan was a little flustered.

Lu Li filled the bath bucket in one go, wiped the sweat and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's done!" ”

Su Qingyuan also breathed a sigh of relief: "You can 'retire after success'." ”

Lu Li didn't speak, and simply unbuttoned his clothes neatly.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Su Qing's kite flower is discolored.

Lu Li was confident: "The bathtub is so big, it's not that two people can't sit down, aren't you so stingy?" What's more, I've worked so hard for so long, can't you treat me with courtesy? ”

Looking at the splashing water, Su Qingyuan wanted to cry without tears.

Lu Li was confident: "Help me rub my back!" ”

Su Qingyuan was so angry that she just wanted to bite him: "Rub you big-headed ghost!" ”

"You don't need to rub the big head, you can consider the small head." The surface of the land does not change color.

Su Qingyuan just wanted to bite him to death.

Knowing that he couldn't take advantage of competing with this kind of hooligan, Su Qingyuan decided to choose to give up - thirty-six plans to go ahead.

Lu Li's eyes were quick, and he fished her back: "What are you running?" ”

Su Qingyuan slipped into his arms and immediately became honest.

"How?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

Su Qingyuan glared at him aggrievedly: "I've become ugly, you will dislike it!" ”

Lu Li bowed his head.

Su Qingyuan immediately covered his eyes: "Don't look at it!" ”

Lu Li came to his senses, crying and laughing: "You are awkward with me, just for this?" ”

Su Qingyuan flattened her mouth, turned her back to him and refused to turn around.

Lu Li had to coax her carefully: "Ah Kite is good-looking no matter what it becomes, not to mention that this is for our children......"

At the mention of the child, Su Qingyuan's tears fell.

Lu Li had to suppress those ulterior thoughts and hold her in his arms to comfort her.

Su Qingyuan wiped the corners of her eyes, raised her head and looked at him: "Lu Li, I don't want to be a queen." ”

Lu Li frowned.

Su Qingyuan gritted her teeth and said in a dumb voice: "I'm going to the south...... Find a child. ”
