Since the emperor named Zuo Yu as the county lord, Wu Hou began to think about it, and if he couldn't make a plan, Qi Xiaohao had already blocked his way, and since then, he has made up his mind to get rid of Qi Xiaohao.

But he didn't think that the emperor would make a little trouble the prince so quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also caught Wu Hou off guard, but he soon found out that this prince was a little kid with no hair on his lips and no firm work, he had only been the prince for a few days, and he didn't know how many tricks he had created.

Wu Hou despised this little prince in his heart, originally thinking that his father was a difficult person to deal with, and his son might have two brushes, but he didn't expect that the tiger father happened to give birth to a dog, which was not worth mentioning at all.

So Wu Hou caused some trouble for the prince, he sent someone to assassinate a former second-class member who was still on the way back to his hometown, which soon caused an uproar, and fermented to a bad taste, and after returning to the capital, it turned out to be the minister who was not angry with the prince's dictatorship, and his family was grief-stricken, and his wife fell ill on the road, and her life was in danger.

Originally, within a few days of the prince's tenure, he almost offended all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and everyone did not dare to complain, because the prince dismissed the official at every turn.

But after this incident, everyone had a reason, and some people in the court came out one after another to speak out for the unlucky second-class man, and then there were more and more complaints, and everyone joined in the excitement and complained, hoping that the person with the backbone and ability would come out and shout with the prince.

But it didn't take long for everyone to find out that the prince was not alarmed at all, he quickly sent someone to find out the cause of the adult's death, and then dealt with the aftermath very quickly, and even sent several imperial doctors to treat the sick lady, and comforted the family in the shortest possible time.

When everyone was amazed at the prince's calm and efficient work, the prince didn't know what means he used, but he actually found out the killer who assassinated the adult, and found out Wu Hou's head.

The prince personally took people to Wu Hou's mansion to arrest people, arrested Wu Hou on the grounds of assassinating the former second-rank master, and investigated Wu Hou's nest on suspicion of forming a party for personal gain.

"Why do you say that Ben Hou is a party for personal gain!" Wu Hou was very unconvinced, and scolded the prince at the door of his house, "Huangkou Xiaoer, don't be too blind, you have only eaten for a few years, and if you make so many evils, be careful that you die in front of your old man!" ”’

Qi Xiaohao sneered, "Uncle Zuo doesn't care when I will die, but it's better for you to be mentally prepared first, why do you say that you are forming a party for personal gain, don't you know it in your own heart?" It doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll tell you one by one when I go back, and I'll make sure you're satisfied. ”

Still satisfied, satisfied with a fart! Wu Hou almost vomited blood, but he couldn't resist, he couldn't imagine that the prince would be able to find him so quickly, he was not prepared at all, it can be said that he was caught off guard.

In this way, Wu Hou stepped down at a speed that no one could imagine, which made many people in the court fearful, because Wu Hou formed a party for personal gain, involving I don't know how many people went in, with the style of the prince, it is impossible not to find out your ancestors for eight generations, so there are some bad premonitions, and the next day he resigned and prepared to go.

The prince was very efficient, and approved the resignation on the same day, and these people were much more active than the dismissed officials, and they rolled up and rolled up that night.

But they soon found out that running for the sake of the plan was purely fooling people, and within two days of leaving the capital, they were arrested by the prince again. Wu Hou formed a party and ran a private case, involving more than a dozen ministers in one go, and several marquises, corrupt and fraudulent, the amount of corruption is amazing, and the disaster relief funds, under the premise of the emperor's implementation at all levels, were even embezzled by them hundreds of thousands of taels.

The people of the world have no concept of what kind of party and selfish business, but the disaster relief funds are closely related to them, once an official embezzles the disaster relief funds, it is tantamount to digging out the hearts of the Li people, eating their flesh and drinking their blood, if these officials are put on the street, I am afraid that they will not be beaten to death by the people.

Therefore, the reputation of Wu Hou and his people can be described as notorious, and correspondingly, the prince who pulled them off the horse won a great reputation among the people, and the popularity of the people rose overnight.

In the end, the emperor crowned a prince with a different surname not only caused criticism, but even became a beautiful talk, and the people of the world did not care whether the royal blood was pure or not, as long as the successor was dedicated to the people, they would support it.

Although the prince's reputation in the court is not very good, he is famous in the hearts of the people, and a few years ago, the prince showed his face during the disaster relief in the south, and the people simply described the prince as a living bodhisattva.

When Ah Kang heard this, he joked: "Don't say it, if Xiao Hao is pretending to be a daughter's family, he really looks a little like a Bodhisattva, I always feel that Aunt Ruqing has become more and more similar in recent years, and Xiao Hao is seven or eight points like Aunt Ruqing." ”

Ah Ying sneered, "Don't say it, it's true, I heard that there are people in the folk for his clay statues, I think it's funny to think about it, change it to find someone to find a statue to worship." ”

"Who are you going to worship?" Qi Xiaohao came in and heard the end of the conversation and asked.

As soon as he saw him, A-Ying was speechless, lowered her head and wanted to look but didn't dare to look, recently everyone in the palace knew that the second princess was in a very good mood, because since the crown prince, Qi Xiaohao lived in the palace, the second princess is happy every day, and she is easy to talk, and if she has nothing to do, she will give you something good, and the palace people are equivalent to celebrating the New Year every day, not to mention how beautiful.

As soon as Qi Xiaohao saw A-Ying like this, his heart was awkward, he felt that if he was like A-Ying for the rest of his life, he would not be able to live this life.

Or...... Tell her about family affairs as soon as possible?

Qi Xiaohao remembered his mother's advice, if you don't like people, it's better to make it clear to her as soon as possible, and you can't delay other girls in vain, but Xiaohao feels that he can't say this, or that he has no chance to say it, after all, A-Ying saw him like this, and the two didn't know how long they hadn't said a word seriously.

So he felt that if he didn't introduce him to his family, it would be a disguised refusal, of course, it didn't matter if A-Ying agreed or not, it was just to show his attitude.

So a few days later, Qi Xiaohao found Qi Wanru alone and said about it.

"You said that the second son of the Yao family is interested in A-Ying?" Qi Wanru first chuckled in her heart, it seemed that Xiao Hao really didn't have this heart for Ah Ying, which was tantamount to refusing in disguise.

Thinking of A-Ying's recent happy appearance, she couldn't bear to say it in her heart.

The second son of the Yao family is Yao Zheng's nephew, and he didn't pick any talents from his family background, it is true that he is interested in A-Ying, not a small fuss, this time he made it clear to the queen, and he also asked for the consent of the second son of Yao.

"Aunt Queen, you should be able to see it on weekdays, this kid liked A-Ying a few years ago, and he has always been embarrassed to say it." Qi Xiaohao didn't say too deeply, and the queen naturally understood.

Qi Wanru smiled and said, "Okay, I know, I'll ask A-Ying what she means when I go back, if she doesn't want to, she should go back to her house as soon as possible." ”

"There's Aunt Law." Qi Xiaohao arched his hand.

Qi Wanru sighed in her heart, pondering how to tell A-Ying.

If you want to say such a thing, you can pick it out clearly, and it makes no sense to conceal or say it implicitly, not to mention that A-Ying is a vice-straight person.

"A-Ying, my mother asked you," the queen went to Qi Wanru's room, and the mother and son closed the door to talk about it, "Do you have a good impression of the second son of the Yao family?" ”

Ah Ying didn't doubt him, and said: "He's still a good son, he is a good son in the capital, what's the matter, are you going to match him with Ah Kang?" In fact, if you do the math, it also makes the age and family background appropriate. ”

The queen was silent for a moment and said, "A-Ying, have you ever thought about how you will be treated if Xiao Fufu can't fall in love with you?" ”

The smile on A-Ying's face paused, as if she was thinking about this problem, and said after a while: "Mother, if you don't look down on me, I won't marry in this life, I don't say this because I'm angry, but I guess I can't look down on others except him, and the person I don't look down on will definitely not be able to live, so it's better not to marry." ”

The queen is even more worried, this child admits death, she doesn't know how far her life is, how difficult it is to care for someone who doesn't like her, and when Xiao Hao marries someone else, and lives with Meimei, where can she be so open-minded in her heart, I'm afraid that just looking at it will cut her heart like a knife.

"What, Queen Mother, what did Xiao Hao tell you?" A-Ying asked sensitively.

Qi Wanru didn't know how to say this, she didn't pick it out at either end, and she didn't say anything, but the meaning was clearly a refusal, but she couldn't tell A-Ying that she refused it. So she was so vaguely tempted, but A-Ying didn't understand what she meant.

"A-Ying, Xiao Hao is busy taking care of state affairs now, listen to what your father and the emperor mean, or he will abdicate soon, and when the time comes, Xiao Hao will succeed to the throne, even if the lord has changed in this palace, it will not be our home, how do you plan, do you want to move out with your father and mother or continue to stay in the palace?"

Although this is not clarified, it is no different from picking Ming, which means that after Qi Xiaohao succeeds to the throne, A-Ying's identity will be embarrassing, she is still a princess, even if she is a brother and sister, since she is a brother and sister, it is impossible to stay in the same family for a lifetime, and in the future, Xiaohao will marry the queen and concubine, then A-Ying, the princess, is like a big girl who eats idle meals at her mother's house, even if Xiaohao will not treat her badly, but she can't stand people poking her backbone.

Ah Ying understood, and her good mood for many days plummeted in an instant, because she thought about the way back, and it seemed that it was also obscure.

A-Ying is not a person who sits back and waits to be wronged, she feels that it is better to find out now than to be embarrassed in the future, and whether it can be done is a matter of words.

Just when A-Ying decided to find an opportunity to make it clear to Xiao Fu, the court also made a fuss about the prince's blood unification.

The emperor suddenly issued an order, saying that he would abdicate and make way for Xian, and the courtiers were suddenly stunned, the emperor was in the prime of life, how to say that he would retire, not to mention that the prince was not pro, it was pro, and he had to go through a few more years to see if it was that piece of material. In case the prince has different intentions, and as soon as the emperor leaves, he changes the dynasty, then who can control it.

"Your Majesty, please think twice, the prince is young, not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, the emperor is in the prime of life, and his political achievements are outstanding, why bother to abdicate in vain, where do you put the welfare of the world's society! Where the people are placed! ”

"Your Majesty, the ransom minister bluntly said that the crown prince is not of royal blood, and he will inherit the throne in the future, whether he will follow this dynasty or change the dynasty, and the ministers will not know the bottom of their hearts."

Yu Ning said: "Since I passed the throne to the crown prince, then everything in the future will be decided by the prince, and you will only be assisted wholeheartedly." ”

It's a matter of making up your mind and leaving it alone.

After the court quarreled almost over, Qi Xiaohao spoke: "The emperor trusts me, hand over the people of Sheji to me, I will do my best to be conscientious, live up to the emperor's trust, live up to expectations, as for the change of dynasty, you can rest assured, I have no thoughts about the world, exhaust my life, but for the well-being of the people, when the energy is exhausted, abdicate and make way for the virtuous, as for the successor, I am now in front of the emperor and the ministers in advance, then the eldest princess or the eldest son of the second princess is the next heir to the throne." ”

The ministers looked at each other, there is nothing to say now, the prince is not interested in Sheji at all, the heirs to the throne have all thought about it, choose the eldest son of the two princesses to succeed to the throne, everything has been said about this, who can say anything more.

There was no movement in the court, but A-Ying almost collapsed, this was already clear about breaking up the relationship with her, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she ran to the palace that day and had a showdown with Qi Xiao.

"Xiao Hao, since you have become the emperor, what do you mean by appointing me and Akang's son as the crown prince, have you consulted our opinions?" Ah Ying entered the door and said with a slap on her face, "Besides, how do you know that I and Ah Kang will definitely have a son, Ah Kang has no intention of mixing with the government, she has decided to leave with my father and mother, even if she gives birth to a son in the future, she may not be willing to give you a son, as for me, I don't plan to marry in this life, you better save it." ”

These words made the prince, who was speechless in the court all day long, he thought about it very thoroughly, but he really had to cooperate with someone Akang Aying, and if he didn't give birth to a son, he still had no problem.

"A-Ying, you ......" Qi Xiaohao wanted to say why bother, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.

Since A-Ying came, she made up her mind to show her heart, at this time she was a little open-minded, and said with a smile: "Qi Xiaohao, you are also thinking about asking me to marry all day long, I said that day why my mother suddenly asked me the second son of the Yao family, is it you from the match, you tried your best, don't you just want to reject me?" Of course, this is your freedom, I like you, but I don't rely on your intentions, it doesn't matter if you don't look down on me, don't delay me to scarce you, and after you succeed to the throne, I won't be in the palace to hinder your eyes, but I don't plan to marry again, you match me out of guilt, even if you force me with the holy decree at that time, it's not good for me, you live your life, it's a little hypocritical to be too sympathetic to me. ”

Qi Xiaohao was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled, A-Ying who had not been seen for a long time came back, and the stone blocked in Qi Xiaohao's heart was gone, and even he didn't realize how much he missed A-Ying who used to be outspoken, and he usually had a cold face towards A-Ying, which was actually no different from A-Ying.

"What are you laughing at, laughing at me?" Ah Ying said it, and there was no baggage, two hands propped up on the table, and condescendingly squinted at Qi Xiaofu.

As soon as she approached, the unique aroma on her body hit Qi Xiaohao's face, Qi Xiaohao's face turned red all of a sudden, and his eyes were on A-Ying's chest, just like a fire, burning his heart.

"Hmm...... Actually, you don't have to move out of the palace. Qi Xiaohao cleared his throat and said, "This is still your home, I'm just changing my position to help the emperor's uncle." ”

A-Ying was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red again, just because she was left with a little trouble.

The two big red faces, each of them felt a little uncomfortable, and they were speechless for a while, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

"Do you want to eat the fruit?"

"Have you been sitting for so long and your shoulders are tired?"

The two of them spoke in unison and shut up at the same time, then looked at each other and sneered again.

Ah Ying said: "Little trouble, what are we doing here, as for not even talking, I used to blame me, I had a temper and awkward temper with you, you adults don't know a lot from me, we can't do it as a couple in the future, brothers and sisters can continue to do it, it's the same as before." ”

These words blocked the stone in Qi Xiaohao's heart again, but he didn't say anything more, but followed A-Ying's meaning, "Okay." ”

Not long after, the emperor announced his abdication, and in the name of physical discomfort, he temporarily went to the royal palace to recuperate, and the crown prince officially succeeded to the throne.
