Palace. Pei Shengyuan finished the recital and walked out of the imperial study, followed by several eunuchs in charge of the lamp. After more than three months, the locust plague was finally brought under control, the affected people were resettled, and all corrupt officials were held accountable. Every time there is a national disaster, some officials have committed crimes against the wind, making money from the country or embezzling money for disaster relief. The fight against corruption is enduring. Greed is an addictive disease and contagious, especially in officialdom. How many clean officials have become corrupt officials is really difficult to fill, and it is also a problem for the ages.

After walking for a while, I came to Fengyi Palace, which was the most common way to come to the harem before.

He saw Yang Mubai waiting for him at the gate of the palace, just like when he came to Fengyi Palace in the past, most of the time, Yang Mubai would hold the lamp and wait for his arrival. The smiling eyes are round and shiny, and the stars in the sky will be inferior to her eyebrows. That smile is like a spring breeze, sweeping away all gloom. Then Yang Mubai will reach out and wait for him to take her hand, or open her arms and wait for him to hug. Then he said softly, "Your Majesty is back!" "Let's go home!" Sometimes he whispers warmly, "I miss you today!" Then he blushed and lowered his head to his chest.

These accustomed days, those times when he thought he was empty and wronged, were so warm, so beautiful, so nostalgic, and unforgettable.

At this moment, Yang Mubai's figure appeared clearly in front of him, stretched out his hand to him, and said with a smile: "The emperor is back, let's go home!" Pei Shengyuan just stared at her, not daring to speak, not daring to stretch out his hand. There have been several such dreams, as long as I stretched out my hand, each time I woke up in despair.

To this day, he still doesn't want to believe that Mu Mu will never come back. Even though she was dying in his arms and getting cold in his arms, he still didn't want to believe it.

Seeing this, the eunuch who followed reminded softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to go in?" ”

Then, Yang Mubai disappeared. Pei Shengyuan was furious and scolded: "Who made you speak, you scared her, you get her back, you find the queen." Mu Mu, you come back, I see you. Don't hide from me anymore, I know it's wrong......"

The eunuch was frightened, and when he saw such a gaffe emperor for the first time, he replied in a voice: "Your Majesty, there is no one else here...... The queen has already saved her relatives...... It's been more than three months ......"

Pei Shengyuan walked into Fengyi Palace. Since Yang Mubai left, he stepped into Fengyi Palace for the first time. The layout here is still the same as when Yang Mubai was there, but Yang Mubai is missing.

There was a beautiful woman in the palace who was cleaning. Pei Shengyuan was surprised, because this woman was Zheng Li, and what he was about to forget was his new queen.

Zheng Li saw Pei Shengyuan and knelt down to salute. After the emperor was exempted, he asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Zheng Li replied: "I'm here to inspect, the palace people are not meticulous enough, I want to keep this place as if Mu Mu was there." ”

Pei Sheng was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"To atone for sins."

Pei Shengyuan knew that it was because of the two of them that Yang Mubai would die, and they were all sinners. But he is the Son of Heaven, even if he feels that he is wrong in his heart, he will not admit his mistake. He has never dared to enter Fengyi Palace, and he has not dared to face the sin in his heart.

Pei Sheng walked out from afar, then stopped and said, "Don't come to Fengyi Palace again in the future." I would also come less because it was clean. ”

Zheng Li trembled with anger, this was saying that she was dirty. If he weren't the emperor, Zheng Li would have gone to theorize in the morning, and just wanted to reply to him: "Aren't you the dirtiest?" ”

As if to see Zheng Li's thoughts, Pei Shengyuan continued: "I'm also dirty, so I won't come either." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Zheng Li, you are not too young, I will find you a good mother-in-law!" ”

Zheng Li endured her anger and said calmly: "The emperor forgot his previous promise? ”

"I haven't forgotten, it's just that I used to think that the person I loved was you. In this situation, do you still want to marry me? ”

Zheng Li still retains a trace of reason: "Is it appropriate to talk about this here?" Let's talk at a different time and in a different place! ”

Pei Shengyuan walked in front, and they came to the Imperial Garden. Zheng Li spoke first: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you should be true to your word. At the beginning, I did everything possible to get close to Yang Mubai, provide you with information, let you take a shortcut to get the throne, and you promised to give me the throne. I kept waiting. If I don't get it, I'll never be able to hold my head up in the family, and I'll die. Please think twice. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Pei Shengyuan to answer, he left.

(As an age time statement, it's a bit confusing, and I'm almost messing up myself.) Pei Shengyuan was a student of Yang Xiang when he was 10 years old, met 17-year-old Yang Mubai, got along for 3 years, and when he was 13 years old, he found that Yang Xiang loved Yang Mubai very much, so he designed to marry Yang Mubai. Wang married at the age of 16. Zheng Li and Yang Mu Baikai are the same age. Zhang Shan is the same age as Yang Mubai, half a year older than Yang Mubai, just sauce~)

Zheng Li is the daughter of Zheng Changshi, the secretary of Dali Temple. Zheng Changshi was the first to stand in line with Pei Shengyuan, so Pei Shengyuan and Zheng Li have been in contact since they were ten years old. When Zheng Li was thirteen years old, she admired Pei Shengyuan in her heart. In front of Pei Shengyuan, Zheng Li is an obedient little sheep, Pei Shengyuan asked her to go east, she will never go west. Because of this, when Zheng Li was thirteen years old, Pei Shengyuan asked Zheng Li to get close to Yang Mubai.

Zheng Li is not only beautiful, but also very smart. With her deliberate efforts, she soon became close friends with Yang Mubai.

Zheng Li provided Pei Shengyuan with Yang Mubai's preferences and trends. Pei Shengyuan also created various encounters and various heroic rescue incidents in a timely manner.

Even so, Yang Mubai, who is a big one, only regards Pei Shengyuan as his little brother. Because the age difference is too big, in addition, Yang Mubai also has Zhang Shan by his side. At that time, Zhang Shan was already a general of Zhengwupin, and as long as Zhang Shan was there, Pei Shengyuan's strategy was often crushed by Zhang Shan with intelligence and force. is often accused of scolding Huai and ridiculing him, Yang Mubai is completely unaware, and only treats Zhang Shan as nonsense. Pei Shengyuan and Zheng Li are often ashamed of themselves.

For this reason, Pei Shengyuan saw that Zhang Shan and Yang Mubai had a good relationship, thinking that Yang Mubai was also deliberately laughing at him, and even Yang Mubai also had some hatred in his heart.

But Yang Xiangguo's strength and influence are too great, and Pei Shengyuan is not reconciled.

often discussed with Zheng Li the countermeasures to avoid Zhang Shan's routine and Yang Mubai.

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and Zheng Li teased intentionally or unintentionally, Pei Shengyuan also began to be tempted by Zheng Li.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Shan could not return to Beijing in the military camp, and the three of them went out to play together. Yang Xiangguo was not worried about Yang Mubai, so he sent someone to pick up Yang Mubai in advance. At that time, the street was very lively, and Pei Shengyuan and Zheng Li were left, and the two of them drank some wine. At that time, tacitly adding the effect of alcohol, and the charming moonlight, the two of them dried firewood and secretly tasted the forbidden fruit. Pei Shengyuan was a little scared after waking up, but he quickly calmed down. promised Zheng Li that if he could ascend the throne in the future, he would marry Zheng Li as the queen. But at present, it is still necessary to marry Yang Mubai first.

Zheng Li agreed, and worked harder to rub Pei Shengyuan and Yang Mubai.

A year later, Zhang Shan stayed in the barracks longer, and Pei Shengyuan and Zheng Li were more convenient for Yang Mubai.

Slowly, Yang Mubai fell in love with Pei Shengyuan. This kind of love that breeds under lies and intrigues, an elaborate scam. made Yang Mubai lose himself.

When Zhang Shan came back from the barracks, Pei Shengyuan had ascended the throne for more than a year, and Yang Mubai was already in the boudoir to be married.

When Zhang Shan left, he told him thousands of times, but he couldn't figure it out, Yang Mubai could still fall in love with Pei Shengyuan.

Yang Mubai was very happy to see Zhang Shan, and said, "Zhang Shan, you are finally back, you can catch up with my wedding!" ”

Zhang Shan's brows were so furrowed that he couldn't stretch it, and asked Yang Mubai: "How could you fall in love with him, I told you about his little tricks before I went to the barracks, he deliberately approached you, and the purpose was not pure." ”

Yang Mubai disagreed: "He also admitted to me that he did play some tricks before, just because he liked me too much." And I always can't see his dedication, treat him like a child. He didn't use my father's strength, and he might marry again a year after he ascended the throne. Now it's all cashed in, he treats me very well, Zhang Shan, you are the person who loves me the most besides my parents, I have always regarded you as my own brother, and you are my mother's family. ”

Zhang Shan thought to himself: "Only you, a stupid girl, believe his nonsense, you have been playing with him all the year round, and Yang Xiangguo has been forced to stand in line if he doesn't obstruct it." If it weren't for this relationship, it would be so easy to get on top. ”

Now that the overall situation has been decided, Pei Shengyuan is already the emperor, and Zhang Shan is helpless. Seeing Yang Mubai's happy appearance, he couldn't bear to tell her this, so he had to say some perfunctory blessings.
