Palace.

The place is huge, and when it goes night, it is terrifyingly quiet.

Occasionally, the footsteps of the Praetorian Guard patrols rang out for the rest of the night.

This side hall is only a dozen steps away from the imperial study, and Princess Liyang can still see the light of the imperial study from the gap in the window.

She sighed: "As the king of a country, it's really hard. ”

Ming Hui was waiting on the side, and when he heard this, he said: "The emperor is concerned about political affairs, and he will review the recital until late at night every day." ”

Princess Liyang was quite touched: "My younger brother is the same, I persuaded him many times, but he still didn't listen. If you burn your body, then how can you be good in the future? ”

Ming Hui had an idea in his heart and said: "Then it's better for Princess Liyang to persuade the emperor too, you are a distinguished guest, maybe as soon as you persuade him, the emperor will listen." ”

"How can this work? This is unreasonable, and there are no rules. Princess Liyang shook her head slightly.

Ming Hui stood aside quietly and said: "Didn't the emperor say before that Li Guo and Daqi are about to get married, this is almost a family, what is there to persuade the princess." 奴婢是心疼皇上每晚皆是如此，根本没好好休息过，所以才斗胆求您呢。 ”

Princess Liyang pursed her lips, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, still indescribably beautiful.

After hesitating for a while, she asked Minghui to pass the word.

Minghui grinned happily and immediately went to the imperial study, and not long after, the people returned.

"The emperor listened to you, and he is willing to go back to rest first." Minghui said.

"That's fine." Princess Liyang nodded gently.

However, someone knocked on the door outside, and it was the voice of Father-in-law An: "Princess Liyang, the emperor saw that the candles in the palace were still lit, so he was afraid that you would be hungry, so he specially asked the old slave to bring some supper." ”

Princess Liyang was taken aback: "Emperor Daqi has a heart, I am terrified." ”

Minghui went to open the door, and Father-in-law An took the little eunuch to put down the supper one by one.

Although Princess Liyang couldn't eat much, the curvature of the corners of her mouth never went down.

For a few days, Princess Liyang's food and clothing were the best, and she almost crossed the middle palace.

Empress Zhen was furious, thinking that Emperor Qiwu had slapped her in the face, but Emperor Qiwu explained with a distinguished guest of the Li Kingdom, and instantly blocked Empress Zhen's mouth.

Empress Zhen saw Emperor Qiwu's heart, and just wanted Princess Liyang to get better as soon as possible and leave the palace quickly.

However, after a few days, Princess Liyang's previous attitude towards Emperor Qiwu's alienation and politeness actually changed, and then one night, Emperor Qiwu also went to the side hall to play chess with Princess Liyang, and he didn't leave until midnight!

When Empress Zhen learned about it, she immediately went to find Emperor Qiwu, and asked with a split face: "The emperor doesn't care about his reputation, so he can't ignore the reputation of Princess Liyang!" What the hell does the emperor mean by this?! ”

Emperor Qiwu slept late these days, his spirit was not good, his eyes were blue, and he was very unhappy when he heard Empress Zhen's questioning.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Empress Zhen, and said, "Duke Liyang is going to marry Daqi, what does it matter if he meets me a few more times, the queen came to question me because of such a trivial matter, and I have half a little respect in my heart?" ”

The two have been husband and wife for twenty years, and he has long been extremely disgusted with Queen Zhen's jealous face.

What's more, now that there is a comparison, he can't wait to abolish Queen Zhen, but he has not yet sat on the throne, so he can only endure her and the Zhen family.

Empress Zhen sneered: "The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and the concubines naturally respect him all the time. It's just that the concubine is also the emperor's wife, and the emperor has some inappropriate behaviors, and the concubine should be reminded. ”

"What's wrong with me? Princess Liyang has already agreed to marry Daqi and enter the palace as a concubine! Emperor Qiwu's words were sonorous, and there was pride in his words.

Empress Zhen looked at his bright yellow dragon robe, her body shook in disbelief, she almost didn't stand firm, and after a while, she stabilized her mind: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, is this true? ”

"I originally planned to announce the Six Palaces and the world tomorrow, but now that the queen is here, I will tell you first." Emperor Qiwu said, "The queen is the lord of the six palaces, and she can also arrange the canonization of the imperial concubine. ”

Queen Zhen's face turned pale: "The Zhang family gave birth to the third princess to be a concubine, is it a little inappropriate for the emperor to give Princess Liyang the position of an imperial concubine at the beginning?" ”

The marriage between Daqi and Li Guo is imperative, and Princess Liyang has now agreed to enter the palace, and it is useless for her to stop it.

But the imperial concubine has always been able to assist the queen in handling the affairs of the six palaces, which is a direct threat to her status!

How could Emperor Qiwu not know what Empress Zhen was thinking, and if he could, he still wanted Princess Liyang to become the queen.

He had a cold face and said: "She is the princess of Li Kingdom, she is extremely noble, and being an imperial concubine can be regarded as a grievance!" ”

Empress Zhen heard what he meant, and her heart became colder and colder.

They have been married for 20 years, and now there is a beautiful newcomer, he still has this kind of thought?!

Empress Zhen's heart seemed to be sharpened to a blur of flesh and blood by a blunt knife, and finally she could only grit her teeth and say: "The concubine obeys the order, and the concubine will definitely take care of this matter everywhere." ”

The more she gets to this time, the more she can't make a mistake, so that Emperor Qiwu has a reason to abolish it!

Within two days, there was news in the palace that the Duke of Liyang was going to enter the palace as a concubine, and the two royal highnesses felt that it was a pity, and they also understood that Emperor Qiwu had not yet decided on the candidate for the crown prince, and both of them had a chance to succeed and a chance to fail.

Later, it was reported that Emperor Qiwu was going to build a Hanyu Palace in the palace for Princess Liyang, which caused a lot of turmoil in the court.

Although Daqi is rich, it is impossible to build a cold jade palace without a hundred thousand taels, which is directly taking out one-fifth of the silver of the national treasury!

Therefore, in the early days of the court, headed by Prime Minister Gu Cheng, many courtiers opposed this matter, making Emperor Qiwu think twice.

Emperor Qiwu listened to these words too much, and his face was not very good-looking.

The official Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the perennial floods in the south and the bursting of the big rivers should be used to build water conservancy and benefit the people!" ”

Emperor Qiwu finally couldn't help it, and directly took the official book to open the knife: "The imperial court only allocated silver to control the water last year, and the silver was not used less, but the flood is still there!" How dare you, the secretary of the ministry, say these things here? Didn't you swallow the silver so that the embankment was not repaired? ”

The official Shangshu was extremely frightened, and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, controlling the water is not an overnight thing, even if Weichen has ten guts, he will not dare to swallow this silver, and ask the emperor to see it!" ”

Emperor Qiwu said: "Have you not, the Red Dragon Division will find out!" ”

His eyes signaled, and Gonggong An immediately understood, and asked the Praetorian Guards to escort the official Shangshu to the Red Dragon Division.

The ministers in the palace are all shocked, and when they enter the Red Dragon Division, even if they can come out without guilt, they will take off a layer of skin!

The emperor is killing a pig to show the monkey!
