The three princes wept bitterly: "Father, the sons and daughters should die, the sons and daughters deserve to die, and there is no atonement for ten thousand deaths." After years of painstaking teaching, the son failed his father Longen, and he had no shame to see his father again, and he had no shame to meet the emperor. The sons of the emperor are rebellious, send someone to assassinate the emperor, disobey the holy order of the father, and plot rebellion, father, you take the sons with you! ”

The three princes slammed into the golden coffin of Gong Qingtian, someone grabbed the three princes, and the three princes knocked heavily on the ground with their heads, banging sound, and his forehead broke in a few clicks, oozing blood.

"Father, father, son-in-law deserves to die, son-in-law has no face to live in this world anymore, and death has no face to meet his father and wait for his father......"

Crying bitterly, the three princes let out a loud cry of grief, knelt and crawled behind the golden coffin of Gong Qingtian, and sounded their heads step by step.

"Xuanyuan Wu, what do you want to do?"

Xuanyuan Yan frowned, staring at Xuanyuan Wu coldly, the third prince Xuanyuan Wu knocked his head step by step, knelt and crawled to Xuanyuan Yan's feet and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, the courtiers know that death is still light, so please ask the emperor to give the courtiers a death today!" ”

The eyes of the ministers all fell on Xuanyuan Yan's body, and they had already delivered a lot of twists and turns, urging the emperor to deal with these princes who assassinated the emperor and plotted against him. Who would have thought that the palace was in full swing, and the queen followed the martyr, so this matter was delayed.

"Alas......"

Xuanyuan Yan sighed, and said after a long time: "Now that my father has just left, my heart is in turmoil, I am also the bloodline of the first emperor, brothers and relatives, how can we bear to treat me like this?" ”

"The emperor is gracious, the emperor forgives the sin, and the younger brother is guilty. I just ask the emperor to be gracious, read that he is the blood of the first emperor, his brothers and relatives, and forgive his brothers. ”

Several princes knelt on the ground, and at the same time kowtowed heavily to the ground, bowing to the ground and begging for mercy.

"Well, now that my father has just left, and the bones are not cold, you will make an oath in front of your father's coffin, and I will forgive you and give you a chance to mend your ways, so as to comfort your father's soul in heaven."

Several princes couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all kowtowed to Gong Qingtian's golden coffin, swearing that they would not dare to have any more dissenting intentions, be loyal to Xuanyuan Yan and so on.

"Thou shalt remember the oath you made today in front of the heroic spirit of your father, and if thou hast a different heart on another day, the spirit of thy father in heaven will not allow you to be forgiven of thy great sins."

"The younger brother swore allegiance to the emperor, thought about it behind closed doors, and never dared to have the slightest dissent, hoping to ask the emperor for wisdom."

In the winter of the first year of Haiyan of Tanglin Kingdom, the first emperor died, and the new monarch personally supported the coffin and buried it in the imperial mausoleum. He committed suicide and was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Queen Xi Qinglian's death, there are many doubts, the ministers are obviously suspicious, and no one dares to say a word. The iron-fisted and cold-blooded right prime minister made them dare not even speak out, let alone mention such a sensitive matter.

The new monarch has just ascended the throne, and they all understand that in the emperor's heart, Xi Qinglian's death is just right, and if they dare to question and mention this matter, I am afraid that their lives will not be long.

Regarding the statement that Queen Xi Qinglian committed suicide and martyrdom, everyone silently accepted it.

The next day, the princes and ministers all prostrate on the ground and worship has been completed, standing on the left and right.

The ministers who rushed back from other places also stood cautiously on the left and right, peeking on the dragon chair, the emperor's face.

The beads fell, and they could only see the lower part of Xuanyuan Yan's handsome and incomparably cold face, faintly revealing the deep ink from the beads, endless as a night, making their hearts palpitate.

"Ye Piao's zero hearing seal."

"The minister is here."

Ye Piaoling, who rushed back from Donghai County to pay tribute to the first emperor, was dressed in bronze soft armor, and knelt under the Danqi to listen to the seal.

One after another holy decrees were read out from Zhao Qian's mouth, and the soldiers who had made military exploits in Donghai County were divided, and Kang Yuanyuan was also among those who were sealed, but Kang Yuanyuan was not in the court today, and he was still sick and recuperating.

After first dividing the soldiers of Donghai County, Xuanyuan Yan said: "Piaoling, the meritorious soldiers of Donghai County, draw up a performance sheet and submit it, and I will seal it again." The victory of Donghai County is indispensable, and the tranquility of the East China Sea since then depends on Aiqing's intentions. ”

"Minister, Emperor Xie Longen, he will definitely let the Haiyan River in the East China Sea be cleared, the remnants of the bandits will be cleared, and the East China Sea will be cleared."

"It's so good, I have set the name of the year as Haiyan, and you should understand my intentions."

"Obey."

All the ministers of the court, all those who have made meritorious contributions before and after this accession to the throne, will be rewarded, Kang Yuanbang and Kang Yuanyuan have been added to the rank of knight, and after being promoted to the official position, they have been awarded the position of earl, which is high and powerful, so that the ministers widen their eyes and do not know what the emperor's mind is.

"Your Majesty, now that the emperor's harem is empty, and the queen's position is vacant, please ask the emperor to draft a concubine and determine the position of the queen's middle palace as soon as possible, so as to calm the world."

"Your Majesty, please draft the emperor in the world to enrich the harem, the emperor has no heirs so far, please ...... the emperor"

Several ministers came out one after another, asking Xuanyuan Yan to draft a concubine and canonize the queen.

Xuanyuan Yan's gaze fell on the purple figure of the head of the ministers on the right, Ye Tianqing didn't say a word, bowed his head and stood silently.

"During the state funeral, this matter must not be discussed again."

Xuanyuan Yan said coldly, and his cold gaze swept over the ministers: "You Aiqing do your duty, do your best, and work hard for the country, don't use these things that shouldn't be mentioned to be heard in the court." The floods in the south have been in trouble, the East China Sea has been seriously damaged, and the rogue has not yet been cleared. ”

"Yes, your ministers obey."

was said by Xuanyuan Yan, and the ministers didn't dare to say more, mentioning the matter of the draft concubine, the disappointment in their hearts can be imagined.

They all want to take advantage of the new monarch's accession to the throne, send their younger sister and daughter into the palace, and enrich the harem in order to win a place in the court.

"The flood in the south has been thinking about it for a long time, and the noble ministers of Kyoto, especially the imperial family, have become extravagant, causing the people to boil. From this day forward, I lead by example

, greatly reduce the amount of use in the palace, the imperial meal shall not exceed four dishes and one soup, and the degree will be reduced by seventy. All parts of the palace should be used in this way, and no slaves should be sent into the palace, and the slaves in the palace should also be greatly reduced, and the palace maids and slaves should be released from the palace......"

The indifferent and majestic tone echoed in the Jinluan Palace, and the ministers were shocked in their hearts, and the emperor wanted to cut the use of the palace by seventy, so that more than two-thirds of the share of the consumption in the palace on weekdays was saved.

"Ruoxi, let's talk about these things."

Ye Ruoxi sat next to Xuanyuan Yan, this was the first time she went to the court at the same time with Xuanyuan Yan, because she still has no name, so it is not easy for the ministers to publicly worship at the same time as Xuanyuan Yan.

But they had already seen that Ye Ruoxi was sitting next to Xuanyuan Yanlong's chair, with a quirky smile on a delicate and agile face.

Now, who else dares to despise this mother, treat her as a stupid concubine, and despise and humiliate her.

Donghai County's military exploits, who doesn't know that most of them are attributed to this lady's tactics and methods, and those terrifying weapons make the ministers talk about it, especially those generals, who love this lady from the bottom of their hearts.

"The people of the world are the first, the people are precious, the community is second, and the king is light. Water can carry boats and can also overturn boats, the people are the foundation of the country, the floods in the south, the East China Sea is seriously damaged, and the rogues are in chaos. The emperor's upper body is providential, and the lower body is investigating the people's hearts, so the harem is cut ......"

Ye Ruoxi talked eloquently and announced a series of measures in the court, releasing palace slaves and slaves out of the palace, sending old eunuchs to retire, checking the treasury and palace property, cleaning up people who violate laws and disciplines in the harem, thoroughly investigating corruption, theft and so on.

On the day after the first emperor and successively returned to the burial, the government of the Tanglin Kingdom began to take on a new look, and the new policy with extremely subtle changes began to be implemented from the harem.

Nominally, the emperor is leading by example, cutting the amount of money to put an end to extravagance, but in fact, something is changing.

Ye Ruoxi was very smart, he didn't mention the new coup d'état law or anything like that, he just used the flood and the aftermath of the East China Sea War to make a fuss, hiding the changes behind the inventory and cuts, and no one noticed anything.

Ye Tianqing suddenly raised his head and looked deeply at Ye Ruoxi for a moment, the corners of Ye Ruoxi's lips curled, was he discovered by the cheap father of the old fox?

Sure enough, the prime minister of the Tanglin Kingdom who has been in control of the government for more than 20 years, has a very sensitive sense of politics, and his mind is really different from that of the ministers, no wonder Ye Tianqing has been able to control the Tanglin Kingdom for so many years.

She exchanged a look with Ye Tianqing, and Ye Tianqing lowered his head again.

&nbs

p; "Princes and nobles, all Aiqing from today on, you must also be thrifty, this is a virtue. A meal for the aristocratic ministers can make a middle-class family spend a few years safely, and once this extravagance opens, the country will not be ......"

Xuanyuan Yan's tone was cold and majestic, and the emperor had personally cut so much use, did they just follow the courtiers to show their honesty and loyalty, and worry about the country and the people?

"Right Minister, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor's words are incisive, and the minister is not ashamed, and is willing to dedicate this year's house property income and a year's income to the construction of the East China Sea and the removal of the rogue. In addition, the minister's courtyard in the suburbs was immediately sold, and the family's belongings were cleared out and returned to the treasury to resettle the homeless refugees from the floods in the south, and the emperor asked for his permission. ”

As soon as Ye Tianqing said this, many of the ministers almost fainted to the ground, can they compare with Ye Tianqing, who has been in the position of prime minister for more than 20 years?

What do they compare to?

"The younger brother has the right to play, enlighten the emperor, and the emperor's thrift makes the younger brother ashamed. Thinking that the younger brother is a royal family, the blood of the first emperor, and enjoying the worship of the subjects has never contributed to the country and is beneficial to the people. Brother, I am willing to cut the amount by 60%, and give up a year's salary, and half of the family's belongings......"

Xuanyuan's words made the ministers burst into tears, Xiangye's words had already made them even have the heart to die, and the confession and sincere expression of His Royal Highness made them unable to survive or die.

"Brother is willing to ......"

Under the leadership of Xuanyuan Zhi, several princes took the lead in expressing their attitudes, how dare they not take the initiative to express their loyalty to the new monarch in front of the royal family.

In advance, Xuanyuan Zhi had already taken care of them, and several princes also understood that now this demonic Eighth Highness is a person who is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is willing to mention them a few words, it is for the sake of brotherly affection, how can they not obey.

Several princes who were confined in Zongzheng Temple were no longer qualified to donate anything, their mansions were confiscated, their homes were closed under house arrest, and now they are waiting for the emperor's decision in a state of panic.

"Your Majesty, everything in the palace of King Yan in the past will be put into the treasury to calm the refugees in the world and rebuild your homeland. All that the concubines hath is willing to be donated and returned to the treasury. ”

Ye Ruoxi's words made the ministers prostrate on the ground, praising Niangniang's benevolence and virtue, and her virtue and kindness were incomparable, and tears fell like rain.

In a word, this lady donated everything in the original emperor's mansion and all her belongings, what should they donate?

"Donation from the mother, five buckets of pearls from the South China Sea, fifty pairs of jade, one hundred ancient paintings, ...... coral, ...... gold, and ...... silver"

"Hiss ......"

In the Jinluan Palace, the ministers who knelt on the ground kept gasping, they thought that the former Yan Wang's Mansion was an empty shell with no property. Perhaps the most valuable thing is the land and the dilapidated mansion.

Therefore, they thought that Ye Ruoxi's words were just a move to perfunctory them and make them bleed.

No, Ye Ruoxi's family background is so thick, and the donated property makes them stunned, staring at the corner of Ye Ruoxi's skirt with incredible eyes, where did this lady come from with so many precious belongings?

The corners of Xuanyuan Yan's lips curled, this is the most demonic daughter of the Xi family, his demon

The queen moved out the palace property that had been deposited for many years and no one knew about the harvest of building an city in the Tanglin Kingdom in the past, as well as the stolen goods that had been looted from the palace.

The sharp-eyed ministers, when they raised their eyes to peep, suddenly saw the emperor's hand, holding the green jade hand of the only pet and the only lady in the harem, holding it tightly in their hands, with a touch of spring returning to the earth on their lips, a charming and obsessive smile.

The ministers handed each other a meaningful and tacit look, and this scene soon spread from the mouths and eyes of the ministers they saw to the entire Jinluan Palace.

The ministers all understood one thing, no matter whether the former stupid concubine of the Xi family had the status of queen or not, in the eyes of the emperor, there was only this lady from beginning to end, and the sole favor was not enough to show the emperor's favor for Ye Ruoxi.

What is behind the emperor's refusal to draft a concubine, these ministers don't even dare to think about it.

Could it be that the emperor refused to draft a concubine for the sake of this lady, and even indulged this lady, cleaned up the harem almost completely, and let countless palace maids and slaves out, even the people who are waiting for the emperor now are all some little eunuchs, and there is no slave and maid.

These news have long been circulated in the government and the opposition, and Ye Ruoxi's jealousy of Jian'an City is famous.

"Willing to donate ......"

"Willing to donate ......"

With tears in their eyes, the ministers began to scramble to donate, lest they would not be able to show their loyalty and sincerity in front of the new king.

"You Aiqing are patriotic and loyal to the king, I am very pleased, Ning Bang, count this matter and present it to me."

"Minister, obey the order."

Kang Yuanbang agreed, and Xuanyuan Yan asked the ministers to get up and discuss other state affairs.

"What do you think?"

Xuanyuan Yan once again looked at Ye Tianqing's body and asked.

The ministers were speechless, and bowed their heads silently, since Xuanyuan Yan ascended the throne, they were in the Jinluan Palace, and they heard what the emperor said, which was the most. Almost all important events, Xuanyuan Yan listened to their reports, and would ask Ye Tianqing like this.

And the sentence they heard the most from Ye Tianqing's mouth was: "Minister, obey the holy judgment." ”

Today, they also set their eyes on Ye Tianqing, to see if this right-hand minister, who has been extremely low-key since the new monarch ascended the throne and never took the initiative to speak in the court hall of the Jinluan Palace, would answer with the same sentence.

"Minister, I respectfully ask for the Holy Judge."

changed the two words, the meaning is no different, Ye Tianqing did not forget, Xuanyuan Yan did not allow him to say the words "obey the holy judgment".

Xuanyuan Yan's hand suddenly clenched the dragon chair, his fingers touched the cold dragon pattern, and he stroked the bulge for a long time without speaking.

Ye Tianqing's gaze fell on Xuanyuan Yan's slender fingers, and he suddenly fell to his knees: "Your Majesty, this is the emperor's benevolent and generous heart, and there is nothing in the world."

Praise holiness. If this generation does not miss the Holy Grace, he will be spurned by the world. ”

Xuanyuan Yan's hand lifted from the dragon pattern on the dragon chair: "Flat up and speak." ”

"The emperor of the ministers, the first emperor has just returned to the imperial mausoleum, there are many things, and the ministers from all over the country are on the table, rushing to come to worship. The first emperor treated his ministers, the heavens and the earth were thick, and the ministers wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum to urge the ministers from all over the country to worship, and to keep filial piety and guard the spirit for the first emperor, so as to repay the first emperor Long's grace and implore the emperor to give permission. ”

Ye Tianqing bowed his head and bowed under the Dan Qi, Xuanyuan Yan's hand was clenched, and he didn't speak for a long time.

There was no sound in the Jinluan Palace.

Ye Ruoxi's hand gently kneaded Xuanyuan Yan's palm a few times, got up and bowed: "The emperor deals with state affairs, and the concubines first retire to deal with the affairs of the harem, clean up useless belongings, and give relief to the victims." ”

"Well, go ahead."

Xuanyuan Yan spit out a few words, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled: "The right minister is loyal, and he wants to do his best for the first emperor's soul, and as the blood of the first emperor, I can't do it yet." Since the right minister has this heart, please replace me with the right minister, and do my part in front of my father's spirit. ”

"Minister, thank the emperor for his grace."

The ministers were silent, they understood what Ye Tianqing meant, and they couldn't see through the mind of this right minister, so they took the initiative to ask to guard the imperial mausoleum, whether to retreat as advance, or really want to retreat bravely.

The emperor's intentions, they couldn't guess clearly, whether to reuse and rely on the Xi family, or to snub the Xi family, and take the opportunity to let Ye Tianqing fade out of the court and take back power.

Many of the ministers are excited in their hearts, as long as the iron-fisted and cold-blooded prime minister is willing to leave, they will have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and even get the emperor's favor and reuse, and the official career is smooth.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the tenth prince Xuanyuan burned, pure filial piety and loyalty, and the tenth prince Xuanyuan burned as the spirit king......"

Several holy decrees were handed down, and the remaining princes, who did not participate in the rebellion, were all divided into kings headed by Xuanyuan Zhi. It's just that the other princes only have the honorable title of a king, only Xuanyuan Zhi, and they are assigned important positions, and they have official positions and power in the court.
