Don't think too much about it, there are already eunuchs outside to deliver new clothes.

The emperor's interest today is not bad, and he just met with the top three candidates who passed the palace examination in the afternoon, and they all looked loyal to the empire, and they were also smart and capable.

Seeing that Qingchi had appointed a new deacon to survey the minerals, he thought about the next step, taking over the mineral taxes from the feudal kings and state pastors, and then the treasury would be more abundant.

Although this step is not as simple as it says, it must be implemented slowly, otherwise the central government will always be short of money, and the palace school will make the number of officials increase day by day.

But looking ahead, this was an effective means of allowing the emperor to expand his authority.

Thinking of these things, Ji Fansheng naturally had a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, do you think this Nine Immortals Gate is a place to write poems and paint?"

Heng Ying's voice remembered, and the emperor slowly took his mind back, he thought that Heng Ying suddenly called him over, and there was something important to discuss.

He also thought about talking to her about how to take back the mining rights.

When Heng Ying first made this suggestion, he was still sick, and although he was tired, he still insisted on explaining to him that he wanted to do it.

"What else does the concubine have to say, in addition to the inscription of poems and praises to the saints, that is, the words of the book, what else can the past be?

Those old things in the past are also rumors.

I think Emperor Taizu's engagement in this Nine Immortals Gate is just a vassal elegance, how can an emperor really like to criticize dragon scales?

It's just that he just won the world and made an appearance for the reader. ”

Ji Fansheng was dismissive of many rumors about Taizu, and he was not like the children of the clan who mentioned Taizu with a triumphant posture.

In fact, he believes that even if the ancestors were really outstanding in civil and martial arts, what they really left to future generations is only memories, not pride.

What's more, when it comes to the real situation at that time, the ancestors may have just hit the big luck and tampered with a lot of historical records to appear mighty.

"What you said is not entirely wrong, Emperor Taizu is indeed pretending, but this is also good-looking, the historian gave praise, and the people gave support, as for whether to adopt it or not, that is another matter.

What I'm going to tell you today is the story of the time of Emperor Weilie.

The secrets of the palace are not recorded in the history books, and if I hadn't read the secret files of Langhuan Pavilion, I wouldn't have known it before. ”

Heng Ying's expression became solemn, as if he really wanted to tell a long and mysterious past.

"Oh, that must be interesting."

Ji Fansheng didn't think so, he had heard about the legends of various ancestors since he was a child, and the so-called palace secrets were just stories of his predecessors.

"Interesting? The secrets of the palace are the condensation of blood and fire, and they are all the web intertwined by countless lives.

Many people don't even remember their names for future generations, so they die easily. ”

When Heng Ying said this, she sighed, that kind of melancholy made people look at it, and she felt pity for no reason.

Ji Fansheng sat up, and he nodded.

"Therefore, I have never loved this palace, I am uncomfortable, and I always feel depressed and panicked.

Say, I'll listen. ”

Heng Ying sat down next to Ji Fansheng, the two of them side by side, if others looked at it and thought they were talking about something affectionate, in fact, she was telling the nightmare of every prince of the Hongyin Dynasty. 80

This happened when Emperor Weilie was still the crown prince, and he was also a great military meritor, but because he emphasized martial arts and neglected civil governance, many civil servants turned to support the seven princes born to Concubine Wen, and they failed to abolish the prince several times.

Until one time, Emperor Wei Lie just entered the Nine Immortals Gate, and was ambushed by several assassins on the left and right to attack, and in an instant the palace gate was closed behind him, and a stone drum was pushed down from the palace wall.

Fortunately, his prince's mansion washed the horses, desperately opened the palace gate, and found reinforcements to calm the turmoil.

But after this incident, the Nine Immortals Gate was regarded as an ominous place.

When Emperor Weilie ascended the throne, he even closed the Nine Immortals Gate.

Your Majesty, now that I have asked those people to write and paint on the palace wall of the Nine Immortals Gate, and have also recruited painters to enter the palace, I am really worried about you. ”

Heng Ying's narration is surprisingly calm, but anyone who listens to it knows how thrilling this past is.

Ji Fansheng was silent at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that Feng Shui was dispensable, and although he didn't believe it, it might be a very important thing for others to see.

Since they don't care, they care, so it's better to follow them.

"Well, I've never believed in these feng shui theories, but if you say it's not auspicious, then don't let them paint it in the future."

Ji Fansheng understated it, but it made Heng Ying worry differently.

"Your Majesty, I said these past events of the Nine Immortals Gate to tell you that in this palace city, it is not easy to be a king, and you must be more careful."

The emperor took Heng Ying's hand and said with emotion: "Heng Ying, I understand your heart, I will be fine, don't worry." ”

Heng Ying nodded, she looked at the emperor thoughtfully, knowing that it touched his heart, knowing that it was useless to talk too much at this time, no one could really think and do things for him.

And he can only accompany him for a while, and it is not worth it in the world.

The emperor naturally knew that it was not easy to be a king, and although he had settled down in the past two years, the haste who succeeded to the throne at first often came to torture him when he dreamed back at midnight.

That night's rain of arrows seemed to recur at any moment, and at some point a cold arrow would shoot from an unknown corner.

And all the goals are his heart.

Although the rumors that the new emperor collapsed in three years have been self-defeating, the people who are staring at the throne are all ready to move.

If it weren't for the people of the Pei family who were guarding the capital, I don't know what the world would be like in this world.

After the death of the dazill, the emperor's first child also died.

Without an heir, the world will always be unstable.

Heng Ying seemed to see the emperor's thoughts, "Yu Xi also went to the Guanyin Temple in the east of the city today to ask for a son, and the adults in the family hope that she can conceive a dragon descendant as soon as possible." ”

Ji Fansheng buried his face in Hengying's chest, "If I don't leave, I just want to stay with you." ”

"Idiot, Yuji is waiting for you." Heng Ying urged.

"You're going to let me stay a little longer." Both of them knew that although Hengying's body had recovered, she looked weak, and she was afraid that she had no hope for her heirs.

The Pei family stared at Yu Xi's belly up and down, hoping that she could become a virtuous concubine like Tai Xi and give birth to a capable prince.

Although Ji Fansheng is afraid of being controlled by the Pei family's forces, there is no better candidate than Yu Ji now.

After a stick of incense, Ji Fansheng got up and said softly in Hengying's ear: "Then I'll go." ”

"Well, go ahead." As he spoke, he took out a white fox's scarf again, tied it to Ji Fansheng, and tightened it again before letting go of his hand.
