"It is my family affair after the establishment, will it be my turn to intervene in the royal family, officials, and people?"

Mu Liancheng's tone was not very good, and his face was even more displeased, although the emperor should accept the supervision and supervision of all the people and officials, and follow the advice, but that refers to national affairs, not to private matters such as who to marry and when to marry a wife.

Of course, the ancient kings were forced to marry the nobles in order to consolidate their imperial power, and there were not a few people who accepted women they didn't like, but he would never be one of them.

Since he is the emperor and the harem is his harem, it should be up to him to have the final say, and no one should interfere!

"Your Majesty, it is not just your family affair, but also a state affair!" Zongzheng Siqing immediately retorted.

Then he looked at the other two companions, expecting them to echo him, but the two immediately lowered their heads, avoided his gaze, and did not dare to say a word.

The emperor is obviously angry, who dares to speak up? Don't you want to die? It's just such a trivial matter as the canonization of the queen, and there is no need to fight with your life at all.

Without anyone to help speak, Zongzheng Siqing knew that he was alone, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

At this time, Mu Liancheng said with a smile: "I understand the good intentions of several adults, but about the matter after the establishment, I said that it was a family matter, and everything must be according to my intentions, I don't want to hear anyone raise objections in the future, do you understand?" ”

Although this new monarch is young, he is not easily swayed by ministers, so it is better not to act with him.

Realizing this, the three old ministers hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"By the way, please don't mention this conversation to others after you leave the palace, otherwise it will be easy for people to misunderstand, and those who don't know will think that I don't look down on Miss Fuyi, which will cause General Yang to lose face, and it is inevitable that some people will think that you are deliberately provoking the relationship between me and the general."

The implication of this is that if I hear someone talking about today's events, it means that you are sowing discord, and the consequences are serious.

"Yes, the ministers will never dare to say it."

The three ministers were so frightened that the back of their necks was cold, and they hurriedly made a guarantee.

"That's good, if there is nothing else to do, the adults will go back first, I still have a lot of things to do."

"Wait for the resignation!"

Immediately, the three of them exited the imperial study, and when they went out, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Cocoon walked over with a smile and said, "The three adults must have failed to make suggestions to the emperor, right?" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu raised his forehead and said: "Our emperor is really not simple, I, an old man, don't dare to provoke him again, see who is more bold in the court, and then let him persuade him." ”

"Gonggong Li, the emperor's mind is elusive, you serve such a master, you must be careful in the future!"

Li Cocoon smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me, the slave should serve the emperor with all his heart, and I don't dare to ponder the thoughts of the saints." "In the end, he is a person who has served the first emperor, he is a smooth person, and he is cautious when he speaks at any time, leaving no handle.

The Ministry of Rites and the others glanced at him, waved their sleeves, and left.

After sending off the three ministers, Mu Liancheng sat in front of the bookcase for a while, and then continued to deal with government affairs, until in the evening, Li Cocoon walked in and reminded him to have dinner.

"When the emperor first ascended the throne, he had a lot of political affairs to deal with at hand, and it was right to be diligent in state affairs, but he also had to take care of the dragon body, and he couldn't do things day and night, and his body was exhausted." Li Cocoon chattered in Mu Liancheng's ear while setting the meal.

Mu Liancheng glanced at him, although he was disgusted, he still felt very warm in his heart, now he is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and he lives alone in the huge palace, and the only person who can talk to him like this is Li Cocoon.

"I have my own business, I have my own measure, so Gonggong Li doesn't have to worry about it."

In recent days, because there are too many things, the pressure is relatively high, and there are things on his mind, Mu Liancheng's already not very good appetite has become worse, basically only eating a small bowl of rice at every meal, and stopping chopsticks after drinking a little soup.

It's the same tonight.

Seeing this, Li Cocoon couldn't help but sigh worriedly: "The emperor should eat more, it's really not okay to go on like this." ”

Mu Liancheng ignored him, got up straight and went back to the bookcase, picked up the half-read fold and continued to read.

"Pull off, I'm full."

"Alas......" Li Cocoon had to call someone to come and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, at this time, a little eunuch hurriedly came in and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Li, Prince Jin is here, just waiting outside the palace." ”

"What? How did he get in without an imperial decree? Li Cocoon frowned and asked, you must know that every gate of this palace is not easy to enter and exit casually, and it is impossible to enter without the emperor's permission or pass token.

The little eunuch shook his head and said: "The slave doesn't know, you see the emperor's ......" He didn't dare to report to the emperor, the emperor was already annoyed with Prince Jin, and now he learned that he dared to trespass into the palace, and the emperor couldn't be angry?

"Look at your timid appearance, can the emperor still eat you?" Li Cocoon waved his hand with a disgusted face, "Go out, I'll go tell the emperor." ”

"Yes, the minion stepped back." The little eunuch trotted out as if he had been pardoned.

Li Cocoon was also a little stunned, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was right, you really have to be very careful when you serve this new monarch, because you never know when he will change his face, and you have to be ready to withstand the wrath of thunder at any time.

What's more, this time Prince Jin trespassed on the palace gate, and he was also partially derelict in his duties, and this training was inevitable.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jin is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Prince Jin?"

Mu Liancheng raised his head, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, but to Li Cocoon's surprise, he was very calm, and he didn't have the slightest tendency to get angry.

"Let him come in, and let the palace people and guards on duty today each go to get ten boards, and yourself, don't forget."

Ten boards are already light, Li Cocoon hurriedly agreed: "Yes, old slave remember." ”

Not long after Li Cocoon went out, Mu Fengyan walked in slowly, only to see him smiling, looking respectful, raising his hand and bowing and saying, "Brother see the emperor!" ”

Mu Liancheng pretended to be busy doing things, and had no time to look at him, so he lowered his head and asked, "It's so late, why did you come to the palace?" ”

"I heard that the emperor has been busy with government affairs for days and is very tired, and the courtiers are very worried about your dragon body, so I want to come and visit." Mu Fengyan replied with a smile.

Mu Liancheng tugged at his lips and said, "You have a heart, but even if it's to visit me, you don't need to accuse yourself of trespassing in the palace, right?" ”

"Don't you know how much of a sin it is to trespass on the palace gates?"

"My brother didn't trespass, it was the guards who let me in, and I'm still wondering about it." Mu Fengyan put the responsibility on the guards guarding the door with a word, which can be described as lying without even blinking an eyelid.

Mu Liancheng didn't want to talk to him about this, so he stopped his pen and looked over, and asked coldly: "Someone let you in when you entered the palace, so if you are still in the capital today, someone is not keeping you, right?" ”

Finally got to the point.

Mu Fengyan rolled his eyes and grinned: "My brother has never left the capital since he was born, this is the only home for me, and I will be reluctant to stay away from it suddenly, besides, I will be separated from my mother and concubine this time, and I am very reluctant, so I want to stay here for a while, and I hope that the emperor will approve it." ”

"You can't do without Concubine Liu so much, and I can't forcibly break up your mother and son," Mu Liancheng said seriously, "In this way, you can take Concubine Liu to live in the fiefdom together, and the problem will be solved." ”

"But ......"

"What, do you think Lingchang is not good enough?" Mu Liancheng raised his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he released a trace of coldness, "Do you want to pick a place to be a fief yourself?" ”

Lingchang is located in the south of Yunzhou, that is, the southwest corner of the Great Yan Kingdom, the climate is changeable, the environment is average, it is indeed not a good place, compared to the capital that is too far away.

Moreover, the vassal king of Dayan only has an empty name, he has no power and no soldiers, he can't say anything, and after he goes, he can't leave the fiefdom except for coming back on time every year to pay tribute, which is no different from being in prison, Mu Fengyan is naturally unwilling.

If it weren't for the failure to frame the Yang family a few months ago, he was bitten by Mu Liancheng and put the entire Liu family in, and he would be the one sitting on the throne of the dragon chair today!

Every time he thought of this, Mu Fengyan hated it.

However, who made him a minister now, and Mu Liancheng is a high emperor? No matter how unwilling he is, he can't refuse openly, and he still has to make all kinds of excuses.

"It's winter now, Yunzhou is windy and cold, I'm worried that my mother will not be able to adapt to it, so it's better to wait until the spring of next year to set off, how about it? Your Majesty, you should beg your brother, for the sake of your brother, you will agree to me this time, right? ”

Traveling next spring? I'm afraid that in the spring of next year, you will have other excuses to rely on.

Mu Liancheng blinked his dark eyes and made a contemplative gesture.

Mu Fengyan opened his mouth and was about to continue pleading, but the other party suddenly nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what you say." ”

"Is the emperor serious?" Mu Fengyan couldn't believe it, he had prepared a lot of reasons to say, who would have thought that Mu Liancheng would agree so easily?

"You don't joke, since I agreed, it is naturally true." Mu Liancheng replied lightly, "You are my own brother, if I don't even agree to such a request, it is inevitable that some people will say that I am ruthless and mistreating the prince, and my reputation will be damaged by the royal family, so I don't need to make trouble for myself." ”

Mu Fengyan was secretly happy, and said with his head bowed: "The emperor is sage." ”

He naturally didn't believe that Mu Liancheng only agreed to let him stay for the sake of the so-called royal reputation, but he couldn't guess his mind for a while, but no matter what, it was a good start to stay, and the rest could be talked about later.
