Chapter 195: See Niangniang
♂? ,,
"Your Majesty, concubines can't violate the rules of Tanglin Kingdom, and the harem can't interfere in politics."
"The rule is that my will must not be violated!"
Ye Ruoxi pouted: "Big demon, dare not use the identity of the emperor to suppress me?" ”
"Can't I use the emperor's identity to press? Then I use my body to press, let's go, night and settle accounts! ”
The evil smile curled up at the corners of Xuanyuan Yan's lips, the deep ink was churning black warm currents, and Ye Ruoxi's feet were nailed to the ground, unable to move a single step.
"I didn't let me interfere in politics, I just let me sort out the twists and turns, of course, I peeked a few times during the sorting out, and I won't punish you."
The corners of Ye Ruoxi's lips twitched, is this the emperor's grace?
She rolled her eyes at Xuanyuan Yan, raised her middle finger and shook it a few times, and walked to the front of the folds apologetically, and began to sort out these mountain-like twists and turns with Jinxiu and Xiaoyun.
Xuanyuan Yan's hand was the memora of the last few days, which had been delivered by the ministers after he ascended the throne, and there were several piles of several feet high.
Ye Ruoxi looked at Xuanyuan Yan with pity, how long will it take for this big demon to finish reading and reviewing these twists and turns?
Time passed little by little, and she saw Xuanyuan Yan closing her eyes slightly tiredly, taking a sip of tea and rubbing her eyes and temples, and opening it again.
She quietly walked to Xuanyuan Yan's side, quickly flipped through the folds, divided the folds into categories, and picked the important ones to put in Xuanyuan Yan's hand.
"Playing the Holy Lord, the ministers ......, the right minister Ye Tianqing, the power leans towards the government and the opposition to form a party for personal gain, and kills the righteous and loyal ministers......"
"Playing the enlightenment of the saint, the ministers ......, the right minister Ye Tianqing, has controlled the dynasty for more than 20 years, ignoring the grace of the monarch, bullying the monarch and ignoring the superiors and subordinates, and blinding the ministers ......"
"Playing the Holy Spirit, the ministers ......, the country is now a traitor, killing the important ministers of the country in vain, covering the sky with one hand......"
A series of twists and turns were all impeached against Ye Tianqing, mildly saying that Ye Tianqing acted improperly and impeached Ye Tianqing for being too powerful, and politely asked the emperor to remove Ye Tianqing's official position. fiercely, he impeached Ye Tianqing for being a traitor who misled the country and the people, deceived the Holy Hearing, and monopolized power.
Ye Ruoxi took a look, put these folds in a corner of the table, and finally stacked the folds around Xuanyuan Yan on the table in different categories, and wrote down the content and type of folds on a piece of paper, pressing on top of the folds, so that Xuanyuan Yan could see at a glance what these folds were talking about.
She got the twists and turns on the table next to Xuanyuan Yan, and quietly wanted to leave.
Xuanyuan Yan stretched out his hand, held Ye Ruoxi's jade hand and kneaded it in the palm of his hand, and held the fold in the other hand to watch.
Ye Ruoxi didn't speak, standing silently behind Xuanyuan Yan, his eyes falling on the fold in Xuanyuan Yan's hand.
That's the latest military intelligence report from Tokai County.
"Ruoxi, water."
Ye Ruoxi lamented that after this meeting, she went from preparing the queen to working part-time as a slave.
Picking up the warm ginseng tea and bringing it to Xuanyuan Yan's lips, Xuanyuan Yan took a sip and closed the music fold in his hand and leaned back on the chair to close his eyes and rest.
Ye Ruoxi reached out and kneaded Xuanyuanyan's shoulders and head behind his back to relieve Xuanyuanyan's fatigue.
"What's it?"
"The first pile is about asking the emperor, the second is about asking for the treatment of several rebellious princes, and the third is about the absence of officials to decide. The fourth pile is the impeachment of the right minister, and the fifth pile ......"
Ye Ruoxi shrugged: "I think, if you use this speed and quantity to send the folds, you won't be able to see the folds they deliver in one day in three days, and there will be more and more accumulation." ”
"What's the best way to do it?"
"A lot of the twists and turns are repeating one thing, wasting paper, time, energy, and more importantly, pitting."
"Say, what's the best way?"
"There are a lot of repetitive folds, it is enough to take one of them to read and review, and you can make an order, and in the future, the same kind of folds, the same thing, shall not be submitted to the imperial front repeatedly."
"Well, what better way?"
"Send those unimportant things back to the management officials, and let them handle the proposals and processes that are submitted for processing."
"Ruoxi, do you know? These are just more than a day's worth of recitals since I ascended the throne, and there are no recitals left that have not been reviewed before, otherwise I will really be tired. ”
Ye Ruoxi looked at a few piles of tall folds speechlessly: "It's only been a little more than a day, and it's piled up so much?" How did you deal with those twists and turns in the past? ”
Xuanyuan Yan's hand pointed around the room: "Those are all the folds that have been reviewed and processed, and they are reviewed and processed by my father-in-law's right minister, I am very curious, he can review so many folds and deal with so many things." Only those folds were never reviewed and moved by my father-in-law. ”
In the corner of the dormitory, it is silently stacked as high as a hill, messily scattered on the low table.
"Why aren't those approved?"
"I can figure it out."
"Some people are too lazy to think about why they want to kill brain cells."
"It's all about the impeachment of my father-in-law, and it's inconvenient for him to review and deal with it, so it's all piled up there."
"It's really a lot, in a few months, it is estimated that this dormitory will not be able to be stacked."
"What do you say about it?"
"I'm not the emperor, how do I know? You can do whatever you want. ”
"Well, look at those impeachment of my father-in-law, how do they say?"
"Makes sense."
"How does that make sense?"
"Hehe, it's about the Xi family, I'm also the daughter of the Xi family, so it's inconvenient to say anything."
Xuanyuan Yan smiled and felt the strength of Ye Ruoxi kneading his shoulders and head: "Tell me what, are you worried about me?" ”
"Let's be objective."
"Objective?"
"It's to jump out of the trap that I'm the Xi family and look at it from the eyes of outsiders."
"Okay, say."
Ye Ruoxi cleared her thoughts and let Jinxiu and Xiaoyun retreat, after all, Jinxiu and Xiaoyun were from the Xi family and were subordinates cultivated by Ye Tianqing, and the reason why she didn't use other people from the Xi family was to avoid making Xuanyuan Yan suspicious.
"The emperor is a creature that is suspicious and fickle by nature, as we all know, the so-called companion is like a tiger, this is the truth."
The corners of Xuanyuan Yan and Zhao Qian's lips twitched at the same time, and the person who dared to say this in front of the emperor was this woman.
"The dragon chair below decides everything, let me speak and act with suspicion of everything, with a scrutinizing gaze, and cautiously walking on thin ice. I don't want to use Ye Tianqing, because his power is too heavy, and the power of the Xi family is too heavy. ”
"Ye Tianqing is his father, so just call him by his name?"
Xuanyuan Yan looked at Ye Ruoxi helplessly, even he always called Ye Tianqing "father-in-law" for some reason, and he didn't want this woman who had no rules to the extreme, and called Ye Tianqing by his name.
"It's not a big deal, the name is for people, I said it, don't use the Xi family but talk about it from the eyes of outsiders."
"Go on."
"I want to take back all the power in my hands, but I have just ascended the throne, the government and the opposition are unstable, and looking at these twists and turns, those courtiers think it is profitable, and they all jump out. They are tempting, they are observing, they want to get more and greater benefits. It takes a long time to control this, and who can really help during this time? ”
"What do you think?"
"If you belittle the Xi family, you must choose another person who has enough weight and can share worries and give him power. But in that case, the court will start a new round of purging, and Ye Tianqing cleaned the court before, what it was for, better than anyone else. ”
Xuanyuan Yan didn't make a sound for a long time, silently closing his eyes and pondering, Ye Ruoxi whispered in his ear, the current pattern and form of the court.
"Ruoxi, I don't know if I know this, but it's a pity that it's a woman, otherwise it should be a famous minister or a Ming Jun."
"I'm not interested, how to choose the power in the hands, stabilize the court as soon as possible, gradually withdraw the power into the hands, and cultivate ministers who are truly loyal and do things, instead of thinking about enriching the harem with their sisters and daughters all day long, and using nepotism to carry the throne."
"I made the mistake of jealousy again, I haven't drafted a concubine yet, if I really draft a concubine, I can't turn the palace upside down?"
"It's hard to say, do you want to try it?"
"Isn't it tired enough?"
Xuanyuan Yan sighed
, where does he have time to be distracted by women and harem affairs, these twists and turns are enough for a headache.
"Tomorrow, the news of my father's great trip will be announced, and a mourning hall will be set up to pay tribute, and it will be sent back to the imperial mausoleum for burial seven days later
, I'll be busy for a long time, Ruoxi, manage the harem for me, let this place be quieter. ”
"Don't worry, I'll handle the affairs of the harem, as long as I don't feel sorry for me and let out so many beauties."
"In the last war, Donghai County was seriously damaged, and the floods in the south were flooded, although Rishengguo promised to compensate, but I don't know when the compensation will come, what can be done about this matter?"
"Then start with the emperor, from today onwards, greatly reduce the amount of money used in the palace, release the redundant and useless palace maids and slaves, and reduce the number of personnel and expenses. The concubines left by the father and the emperor, after tomorrow, should also be sent to the place where they are old-age to reduce the daily needs of slaves and maids. ”
"Well, the style of extravagance is quite prosperous, so it is better to start with me, so the princes and ministers can't say anything."
"Whether a country prospers or decays depends on what those in power do. Extravagance is always the way to defeat the country and cannot be promoted. The emperor is strict with himself, and as a role model in the world, it is actually the blessing of the society and the blessing of the people. ”
Xuanyuan Yan nodded, thinking of the hard life he had lived in the past twenty years, he couldn't help but smile, maybe it was time to let those noble ministers know what to be thrifty.
Ye Ruoxi didn't want to reform, and he didn't want to change the law, but there were many good ideas and methods that could be provided to Xuanyuan Yan, so that Xuanyuan Yan could also make it easier, and the two talked for a long time, and Xuanyuan Yan asked Ye Ruoxi to rest first.
Under the soft light, Ye Ruoxi saw Xuanyuan Yan's handsome face like a Greek sculpture, shrouded in light and plated with a layer of gold, noble and elegant, revealing a seductive meaning.
She lay on the dragon couch for a while, watching Xuanyuan Yan busy reviewing and folding alone, how could she lie down, got up quietly, stood on tiptoe and retracted her claws, wanting to sneak attack Xuanyuan Yan for a fragrant kiss.
The main reason is that the big demon is too tempting, the face exposed under the dark hair, with a slight pink, looks at the beauty under the lamp, and the same looks at the beautiful man under the lamp, especially a handsome guy like Xuanyuan Yan, she is tempted.
I couldn't help but want to drop a fragrant kiss on Xuanyuan Yan's ear and sneak attack.
"What do you want to do? If you don't sleep well, what do you want to do here? ”
Xuanyuan Yan didn't reply, and when Ye Ruoxi's red lips were still three feet away from him, he suddenly asked.
Ye Ruoxi pounced in defeat, put his arms around Xuanyuan Yan's neck, and loudly dropped a fragrant kiss on Xuanyuan Yan's ear, this was no longer a sneak attack, but a forced kiss.
"People just want to sneak up on a fragrant kiss, can't they pretend not to know and not see me?"
Xuanyuan Yan was helpless, he took the little goblin behind him into his arms, lowered his head and kissed Ye Ruoxi's hair softly, with this little goblin there, his tired nerves quickly relaxed, enjoying this moment of tenderness.
"Ruoxi, will you wait for me for a while?"
"What are you waiting for? Don't be cranky and do things well. ”

Ruoxi smiled slyly and pushed Xuanyuan Yan away: "People are just joking, Your Majesty, you are busy with state affairs, so I won't bother much, go and rest first." ”
Xuanyuan Yan turned over and grabbed Ye Ruoxi and hugged him horizontally: "I will accompany you." ”
Someone extinguished the light behind Xuanyuan Yan, leaving only a soft small light in the corner, and Xuanyuan Yan pressed Ye Ruoxi under him.
"I'm tired, let's sleep for a while, I'm going to go to court before dawn, this working time in Tanglin is really inhumane. In the future, it is best to change the time, why do you get up so early to go to the court, how can you wait for dawn, re-plan the time of the court, you can continue in the afternoon if you can't finish it. ”
"Hmm."
Ye Ruoxi stretched out his hand to take off the clothes on Xuanyuan Yan's body: "Sleep, you can't finish your daily official business, don't be too anxious, I'll feel distressed if I'm tired." ”
"Okay, Ruoxi, within a hundred days, bear with me."
"I understand, I want to keep filial piety for my father, I think I'm rare."
Xuanyuan Yan sighed, hugged Ye Ruoxi tightly and did not speak.
Time passed little by little, and the night shrouded the golden palace, and the lights of several houses were turned off before the night was shining.
Ye Ruoxi stretched out his arm and found that a warm body was missing from his side, and the faint fresh smell like bamboo leaves was still left on the tip of his nose, lingering on the dragon couch, and Xuanyuan Yan's person was no longer there.
She turned her head to look into the dormitory, and outside the heavy curtain, there was a faint tall figure, reading and watching the folds under the light.
Lifting the heavy curtains, the multiple curtains blocking the light from the outside, Xuanyuan Yan was draped in clothes, sitting under the lights in the middle of the night, dealing with the twists and turns.
"He's so tired!"
The sadness spread in Ye Ruoxi's heart, he was so focused, he was diligent in state affairs under the light, which deeply touched her heart.
Gorgeous glazed tiles, flashing cold, noble and dazzling colors, are spread on the towering roof.
Standing high on the warped eaves, the weeping beast looked down on everything in the palace with an indifferent gaze, and the cold winter wind swept between the branches of the trees and flowers without leaves.
In the past, the magnificent Fengque Palace is now cold and difficult to find, revealing the cold and lonely forest.
The guards around were wearing iron armor and weapons, solemnly and strictly guarding the surroundings of Fengque Palace, and their sharp eyes swept from every corner.
The heavy footsteps of the patrolling guards broke through the silence outside the palace.
Prosperity withered a place is the decadence of the past, after a period of glory, indescribable loneliness and desertion, looking at the golden splendor of the Fengque Palace in the distance, it seems to have been forgotten by all the people, only those loyal guards, still in place, ordered to guard this place closely.
The palace gate was half open, and through the vermilion palace gate, the wind blew up the fallen leaves, fluttered in the air, and fell to the ground.
Looking at the former palace in the limelight, the former hustle and bustle of glory is over.
Ye Ruoxi walked towards Fengque Palace, and the No. 5 old monster behind her followed her, and there was no one else.
"Niangniang, everyone has already gone, why do you bother to go to worship. Have you forgotten all about the past? ”
"I just want to see what she looks like, and I'm curious about what kind of expression and what a woman like she will say before she leaves."
"Niangniang is really generous, she has assassinated you many times, if it weren't for Xiangye who has been secretly sending people to watch and protect you, I'm afraid Niangniang would not be today."
"Was she there when she left?"
"The minions are here, and the prime minister ordered the minions to send them off one after another."
"Who was there at that time?"
"Eighth master, and then there are a few minions, and the master will personally send them off one after another."
"When she goes, is it painful?"
"It's just a glass of wine, and soon, only half a pillar of incense."
"So fast, life is so fragile, in the blink of an eye, the blooming fragrance is blown away by this cold wind. Does she hate? Very unwilling? ”
"Some, she is also a smart person, knowing that she has failed and has no chance of making a comeback. She walked peacefully, already waiting for this day. ”
Ye Ruoxi didn't say much, and walked past the tightly guarded guards.
"See the mother."
The Praetorian Guards fell to their knees, and now who doesn't know that there is only one lady in this palace who is favored by the emperor.
"Flat."
Walking through the strict guard of the Praetorian Guard, no one dared to stop her, she stepped into the Fengque Palace, which was originally the palace where the queen lived, and the queen of every generation of the Tanglin Kingdom lived here.
Today, the vast palace was empty, with only a handful of Praetorian Guards standing guard in the corners.
"Is this it?"
"Yes, after the mourning hall is set up, the slave will order someone to repaint and clean up this place and prepare it for the mother."
Ye Ruoxi shook her head, in her eyes, this place was just a gorgeous golden wire cage, an unattractive place. And here, she buried the two generations of queens of the Tanglin Kingdom she knew, and she was not allowed to die well.
One is exhausted, exhausted, and the other ambitious, and finally fails.
The door seemed to be open.
Ye Ruoxi found that the door of Fengque Palace was not closed tightly, there was a slight gap, there should be no one here, and the door should be locked from the outside.
"Minister, see Niangniang."
