This is indeed what he said, he is always worried that the people around him do not pay enough attention to Jiang Qingyue and let her be wronged, so he will always emphasize the importance of Jiang Qingyue to him, and he can't tolerate his subordinates being disrespectful to her.

Zhou Ruian laughed angrily: "You will find a reason for him!" ”

Luo Bei pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates are the emperor's subordinates, and they only know to listen to the emperor's orders." After a pause, he raised his head and said in a low voice: "The emperor wants to deal with Commander Liu, and his subordinates have nothing to say, just ask the emperor to think about Niangniang, when he was in Liuzhou, it was Commander Liu who rescued Niangniang, and he followed Niangniang to garrison Liuzhou City, living and dying together, sharing joys and sorrows, if the emperor blames Commander Liu because of Niangniang, Niangniang knows, I'm afraid I will blame the emperor, right?" ”

Zhou Ruian sneered and said, "I don't know, when did you become so good at talking?!" ”

"My subordinates have always been stupid, but their hearts are towards the emperor, and they will only say good things for the emperor." Luo Bei said respectfully.

Zhou Ruian glanced at him coldly, and finally fell on Liu Min's body, Liu Min only felt that the hairs on his body seemed to stand up, which made him want to shiver, and at this moment he realized that Zhou Ruian really wanted to kill him just now!

"Get out!" Zhou Ruian shouted angrily.

Liu Min was stunned for a moment, but Luo Bei grabbed him, and the two walked out quickly.

That's what it means to not blame.

The two walked out of the imperial study, Liu Min couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead, and looked at Luo Beidao: "Thank you, brother, I didn't expect that at the critical moment, the brother is still reliable." ”

"You're wrong, at the critical moment, it's still the son who is the most reliable." Luo Bei said expressionlessly.

Liu Min paused, thinking of what Luo Bei said just now, he had to admit that it was because Luo Bei moved out of Jiang Qingyue, and Zhou Ruian didn't want Jiang Qingyue to blame him in the future, so he let him go.

Liu Min was in a somewhat complicated mood.

Luo Bei glanced at Liu Min and asked in a low voice, "You let her go, is it really for the emperor?" Or do you want to fulfill her? ”

Liu Min was stunned for a moment, but Luo Bei patted him on the shoulder, didn't want to know his answer, and turned to leave.

Liu Min thought of Jiang Qingyue, the woman who always didn't know how to be gentle, but she was so different, she could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy bravely, she was honest and brave, but she would also rob rich merchants, just for the people in the city, he felt that when she went to rob those rich merchants, she was obscene and justified.

Two diametrically opposed qualities, but they appear in the same person, but they don't make people feel abrupt, and when they think about it, they have a kind of heartwarming smile.

Maybe when he saw Jiang Qingyue that day, all he wanted was to let her go, as she wished, right?

How could it be? Liu Min felt very strange, because Jiang Qingyue brought him endless troubles, because of her, he went to Liuzhou, almost nine deaths, and it was also because of her that Zhou Ruian was at odds with the ministers and damaged his reputation.

Such a person, he should obviously hate her, but when he thought of her, he didn't have the slightest disgust, but a kind of intimacy and admiration, not because Zhou Rui was happy with her, but because she was such an excellent and special person.

Liu Min sighed, with a complicated look in his eyes, he didn't know what he thought now, whether he hoped that Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue would be together, or that Jiang Qingyue would just leave.

However, Liu Min had an idea, and he always felt that he might regret it in the future.

When Jiang Qingyue was there, the ministers quarreled for her, and now that she is gone, all the quarrels seem to have subsided, even Zhou Rui'an is looking for someone with great fanfare, and the ministers do not continue to oppose fiercely, but silently hope that Jiang Qingyue will not come back if he leaves.

On the other hand, the ministers also began to choose a concubine for Zhou Rui'an.

But compared to these, another major event shocked the government and the opposition, the second prince died of illness!

After the second prince occasionally felt a cold in the prison, he couldn't afford to get sick, and finally he was terminally ill, and a cold took his life.

However, no one believed this statement, and the ministers looked at Zhou Rui'an sitting on the dragon chair, glanced at each other, and saw a look of understanding in each other's eyes.

They said, how could the emperor tolerate his enemies living under his nose, Zhou Ruian didn't kill the second prince before, probably because of Jiang Qingyue, but now as soon as Jiang Qingyue leaves, the emperor really can't sit still.

Since ancient times, people have been killed for a reason, and the wind chill is a very good reason, after all, no one will ask a doctor for a prisoner, so if you are not careful, you will easily die of illness?

Zhou Rui'an didn't care about the speculation of the ministers, and after leaving the court, he returned to the imperial study and looked at Liu Min who came to pay his respects.

"Is it really dead?" Zhou Rui'an's tone was light, even if he was not angry, but there was an indescribable coldness.

Liu Min sighed secretly in his heart, he finally understood that Zhou Ruian and them couldn't go back to the past.

Although Zhou Rui'an was the emperor in the past, he was not unfamiliar with those who had followed him for many years, although Zhou Rui'an was not a gentle and approachable master, but he could make people feel his trust and concern for them.

The so-called soldiers die for their confidants, and their allegiance is not to one person, but to a leader, so that they will willingly submit.

And now, since Jiang Qingyue left, Zhou Ruian has been different in some places, and the whole person has become indifferent, as if no one can enter his heart anymore, his tone is light, his smile is also light, and there is nothing that can really make him care.

Because the person he cares about has already left.

Seeing that Liu Min seemed to be a little distracted, Zhou Ruian couldn't help but look over, Liu Min was stunned, lowered his head and said: "If you go back to the emperor, you have already asked the imperial doctor to see it, and it is indeed an occasional cold." ”

The ministers all thought that the death of the second prince was because Zhou Ruian couldn't tolerate people, so they killed people, but they didn't think that Zhou Ruian was also thinking about whether the death of the second prince had another hidden meaning, or that he was not actually dead?

Zhou Ruian frowned, and said lightly: "Since you are dead, bury it well, don't be careless, let people take advantage of the loophole." ”

Liu Min couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Zhou Rui'an, but he felt a little strange in his heart, this person was already dead, and it was diagnosed by several imperial doctors personally, could this be wrong? What's the loophole to exploit?

However, Liu Min doesn't dare to be presumptuous with Zhou Rui'an now, and he can't ask directly if he has something to say like before.

Since Jiang Qingyue left, although Zhou Ruian did not kill him or remove him, he always felt that Zhou Ruian was not as good as before, and he knew that he had no presumptuous capital.

So Liu Min responded respectfully: "Yes!" The subordinates retired. ”

Zhou Ruian replied lightly and didn't look at him again.

After Liu Min retreated, Zhou Rui'an's eyes fell out of the window in a daze.

Jiang Qingyue has been gone for a month, and this month, Zhou Ruian often looks out the window in a daze, and Xiaofuzi is no longer surprised, but sighs slightly.

In the past month, Zhou Rui'an has gradually calmed down from the initial anger, and seems to have accepted the fact that Jiang Qingyue left, but only Xiaofuzi knows, no, Zhou Rui'an has never accepted it.

Some wounds will heal with the passage of time, but some wounds will gradually worsen and become festering with the passage of time, until there is no way to heal again.

Zhou Ruian is the latter, his calmness is only on the surface, in fact, he has a big wound in his heart, he let the wound gradually decay, he doesn't feel this pain all the time, because the person who can heal his injury has left.

Xiao Fuzi regretted it a long time ago, maybe when he saw Liu Min's thoughts, he should have stopped him, if Jiang Qingyue didn't leave, Zhou Ruian would not have become what he is today.

But it was useless to regret it, Zhou Ruian handed over the errand to find Jiang Qingyue to Luobei, Luobei was serious and diligent in looking for people, but Jiang Qingyue seemed to have evaporated from the world, without a trace.

"If she knew that the second prince was dead, would she feel sad? Would you want to come back and give him a ride? Zhou Ruian suddenly said.

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly retracted his thoughts, glanced at him, and said cautiously: "This, maybe, Niangniang has always been a brother and sister to the second prince, if she knew the death of the second prince, she should care, right?" After a pause, he continued: "But I can't say for sure, after all, who can guess what Niangniang thinks?" ”

Xiaofuzi was worried that Jiang Qingyue would come back if she said it, but in the end she didn't come back, which disappointed Zhou Rui'an.

Zhou Ruian smiled lightly, "Yes, no one can guess her thoughts." ”

Xiao Fuzi looked at that smile, but his heart was sour, Zhou Ruian hadn't laughed for a long, long time, since Jiang Qingyue left, he was either angry, or his face was condensed, and more often he was expressionless, as if there was no one and nothing to do, which could affect his emotions, and now he was sitting here, just a walking corpse.

He became a wise and sensible emperor as his ministers wished, but he lost the most basic joys and sorrows of a person.

Xiaofuzi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you relax, Niangniang will definitely come back, maybe after a while, the ministers have figured it out, and there is no objection to you and Niangniang, at that time, Niangniang will come back?" After a pause, he continued: "Maybe you have a deep love for your mother, and she thinks about you, so she comes back by herself?" ”

Zhou Rui'an listened to his words, and couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his lips, revealing a seemingly absent pear vortex: "Yes, maybe?" ”

After all, the second prince is the prince, and the deceased is gone, so Zhou Ruian ordered someone to bury him well.

It's just strange that the night before the burial, the house where the body of the second prince was housed suddenly caught fire, and after the fire was extinguished, the body of the second prince had been burned.

Although the fire was quite a big incident, the officials in charge of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to speak out, and did not report that the body of the second prince was burned, worried that Zhou Ruian would blame him, anyway, the second prince died, and it was not a big deal, wouldn't it be okay to send the body to be buried? Who would also check if the body was intact?

A prince who is dead, who cares about him? How can a living suffer because of a dead man? It's a joke.

The death of the second prince ended quietly under the deliberate concealment of some people, and no one will remember that there was once a person who almost became the emperor, and then he lost everything for a woman.

No one even had a chance to ask him, did he regret it? He died quietly.

The death of the second prince did not bring a trace of turmoil to the capital, and from the moment he died, he was no longer important.

At this time, good news came from Liuzhou, the Tatar king had been ill for a long time, and finally died of illness, and he didn't even have time to make a will.

Liuzhou finally restored peace, but in this case, Zhou Ruian issued an order to take advantage of the victory to pursue, mainly oppose the guest, and attack the Tatars, and must let the Tatars be vassals to Dajing!

This is something that has never happened since the founding of Dajing, it has always been the Tatars who invade and harass, Dajing is only used as a defense, for the people of Dajing, being able to hold their own city is already a victory, and no one has ever thought of attacking the Tatars.

The ministers quarreled with Zhou Rui'an again, and resolutely opposed Zhou Rui'an's attack on Tatar.

However, Zhou Ruian has made up his mind, no matter how the ministers objected, he still firmly issued his will, and the ministers found out in hindsight that Zhou Ruian may be born rebellious, not only in Jiang Qingyue's affairs, but also in other things.

And one more terrible thing is that when Jiang Qingyue was there before, maybe there were still people who could persuade Zhou Rui'an, after all, Zhou Rui'an's matter of making Zhou Rui'an faint is not a secret, but Jiang Qingyue is also gone now, and the only person who can persuade Zhou Rui'an is gone, what should I do? How can they still rebel?

To make the first emperor who planned to attack the Tatars since the founding of the Great Jing Dynasty? It's not that they have lived too long, and they have lived enough.

Before the Tatars could elect a new king, Su Liangyi and Su Yiming led the army to the gate of the country, and this battle was another two years.

In the fourth year of Qianzheng (I don't know if anyone still remembers Zhou Rui'an's country name), Tatar finally ended the three-year struggle for the throne with Tuoba just taking the throne, and when Tuoba just became the new Tatar king, the first thing he had to do was to bow down to Dajing.

The two-year war has exhausted the national strength of the Tatars, and the current Tatar people can be said to be struggling with the people, and they are no longer capable of confronting Dajing.

In the past two years, Zhou Rui'an has also been under great pressure, he has simply reduced his food and clothing to supply the military supplies on the front line, asking for money for money, food for food, and the treasury is empty, so Zhou Ruian tried to get the money out.

Among them, Zhou Ruian also robbed two big merchants in Dajing very hooliganly, and got the merchant's money support in the form of IOUs.

Zhou Ruian still wanted face in the end, so he didn't come forward himself, but sent Liu Min.

When Liu Min heard this at that time, he was simply dumbfounded, how could this style feel a little familiar?

However, he is a dignified leader of the brocade guards, and he actually threatens to blackmail a few businessmen, is this a bit too cheap?

But no matter how reluctant Liu Min is, he can only admit it, what can he do? Who made him lose the queen mother, it is not easy to save a life now, this kind of errand that no one wants to do, of course Zhou Ruian handed it over to him.

No matter how difficult it was, Zhou Ruian finally persevered, and he created a history of Dajing.

In today's court, there is unprecedented harmony, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the monarch and the ministers are single-minded.

There is just one thing that has always worried the ministers, that is, the emperor is old, and he still refuses to accept a concubine.

Although everyone knows what is going on, the ministers did not expect that two years have passed, and Zhou Ruian actually bites to death and refuses to stand as queens, forget it if he doesn't stand up, and he won't even accept a concubine.

I still remember last year, when a minister finally couldn't help it, he mentioned this matter, saying that the emperor's heirs were thin, and the harem should be filled and the heirs should be extended.

Speaking of this, the courtiers of Dajing felt sad, look at the Tatars, there are so many sons who have to fight for the throne for three years, what about them? There is not a single one, this is drought to death, waterlogging to death.

Zhou Ruian didn't quarrel with the ministers, but just said: "If you don't have any money, you can't afford it!" ”

No silver! Can't afford it!

Choked the ministers, they are the kings of a country who are dignified, and they can't afford to support their wives? What a sadness this is!

However, the situation at that time was really not optimistic, the war was too expensive, and the Tatars attacked Dajing, and they could still rob and rob it, but the Tatars were poor, even if they won the war, they had no resources to rob them, and they were really short of silver, otherwise Zhou Ruian would not have been able to come up with such a way to lack morality.

Okay, Zhou Ruian is unwilling, they can't force the emperor to marry, right?

And Zhou Rui'an also said: "When I wanted to marry, the ministers did not agree, I did what you wanted, and now I don't marry, why are you unwilling?" ”

The ministers' faces were scornful, and they finally remembered the lack of morality they had done back then, and listening to the meaning of Zhou Rui'an's words, this was obviously revenge on them?

He originally wanted to marry a wife, but the ministers objected to it one by one, and they didn't agree, but what does this have to do with them? Zhou Rui'an married his daughter-in-law himself, and his father and mother didn't object, is it their turn to object?

But they objected, and finally forced Jiang Qingyue to leave the capital, okay, Zhou Ruian simply didn't marry a wife.

Now that the Tatars have also become vassals, the war is over, and the country is becoming richer and stronger under the rule of Zhou Rui'an, Zhou Rui'an has finally become a generation of Ming monarchs as they wished and expected, and his merits have even surpassed all the previous emperors.

But what if the emperor has no queen?

I don't know how the emperor sent someone to find Jiang Qingyue?

The ministers began to muttered in their hearts, as soon as it was okay, they couldn't help but start doing things again, so after asking Zhou Rui'an to set up a concubine, the recital was like a hill, piled up with Zhou Rui'an's bookcase.

But Zhou Ruian didn't even look at it, he didn't think about it at all, how did he send it, how could he send it back, just a little, he just didn't marry, what did they want?

The ministers are worried!

The ministers didn't expect that all the unfilial sons in their family were annoyed by too many women, but when they came to the emperor, none of them refused to marry, and they were also dissatisfied? How could the emperor be so suffocated?

Don't wait for a long time, and some problems will arise in some aspects, and when the time comes, it will affect the heirs, and they will be sinners through the ages!

Especially Zhou Rui'an's good tradition, it's a pity not to pass it on, maybe Zhou Rui'an will also give birth to a generation of Mingjun? Don't need too much, give birth to a prince, let them have a good life and training, and they will have a head start in the future!

But the ministers didn't expect that Zhou Ruian would not satisfy them with such a simple and simple wish!

The ministers began to run to Zhou Rui'an's study and kneel and beg again.

Zhou Ruian heard the sound outside, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Fuzi couldn't help but lower his head when he saw Zhou Rui'an's expression, he swore by his experience in serving Zhou Rui'an for so many years, the emperor was angry, and he was very angry!

Can Zhou Ruian not be angry? When he was about to marry, these ministers were also like this, kneeling outside to oppose it, and they had to force Jiang Qingyue away, and there was no news for two years.

Now, they're begging him to marry again!

Isn't this just disgusting Jiang Qingyue? They actually dared to dislike Jiang Qingyue!

Xiao Fuzi felt that in their emperor's heart, Jiang Qingyue had nothing bad in his body, and their family Qingyue was the best.

Zhou Rui'an picked up the fold in front of him, "Look at it, this is the woman they chose for me, one by one, they are all rouge and vulgar powder, vulgar and unbearable!" Look at this again, the female celebrity is excellent? Also poetry and songs? Are you embarrassed to praise these things? From their point of view, I don't even bother to talk about them! ”

The corners of Xiao Fuzi's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "That's nature, that's nature, how can they compare with the emperor's eyes?" ”

Zhou Rui'an took out another portrait: "If you look at this again, it will look like this, and they will also show it to me?" It's ugly! That's it, one by one, they still dare to dislike my Qingyue?! ”

The more Zhou Ruian talked, the more angry he became, he wanted to marry a wife, but they desperately stopped him? They are not his father, and they are not his mother, they have mixed up his good marriage, if he and Qingyue got married, maybe now they have children!

As a result, the wives and concubines of these ministers married one after another, but they desperately stopped him and sent him such things that were an eyesore, can Zhou Ruian not be angry?

Xiao Fuzi sighed in his heart, he glanced at Zhou Ruian carefully, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, forgive the slave for being blunt, in fact, taking a concubine may not be a good thing!" ”

Zhou Ruian immediately glared at him angrily: "What? You also took their favors to persuade me? ”

"Nope! No! The minions are all for the emperor," Xiao Fuzi hurriedly defended: "The minions are really for the emperor!" ”

Zhou Rui'an was noncommittal.

Xiao Fuzi glanced at him meaningfully: "Your Majesty, this woman is jealous." ”
