Shangguan Zhiyuan didn't dare to get up, "Weichen is a guilty body." ”

Xiao Dongli walked down, "I haven't committed this crime, what is the crime?" ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, and Hairun got up with him.

"I don't know if the emperor summoned me, but what's the matter?" Hairun saluted, bowed and asked lightly.

"You have all seen the affairs of the Shangguan family. Therefore, Shangguan Feng is not the prime minister, I have already written a dismissal document, removed Shangguan Feng from all positions, demoted to a commoner, and will never interfere in court politics. Xiao Dongli took a holy decree, "This, I will let the Golden Palace read it out, and announce it to the world." With the merit of waiting, avoid the disaster of extermination. The merits and demerits are offset by this, so let's stop it! ”

Shangguan Zhiyuan knelt on the ground, "Weichen thanks Lord Longen." ”

"If it weren't for you helping the refugees in exchange for the peace of Dashuo, if you hadn't helped execute Xiao Dongming's rebellion, I wouldn't be where I am today." Xiao Dongli hugged Shangguan Zhiyuan and got up, "What's more, one of you is Ah Jing's father and the other is a brother, I will treat myself and show favoritism once." ”

After speaking, Xiao Dongli took another holy decree, "I plan to make one of you the left minister and the other the right minister, I hope that the two of you can support each other, take the court as the priority, and the country as your own responsibility." In this world, there is a need for checks and balances, as well as cooperation. ”

Hairun was stunned, this news was too sudden.

But after thinking about it, Shangguan Feng was dismissed, and the position of prime minister was vacant. At that time, I don't know how many pairs of eyes will be staring at the position of prime minister. The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and his words and deeds will affect the decision-making of the imperial court.

Xiao Dongli is certainly shrewd, and divides the prime minister into left and right prime ministers, so as to avoid one person being arbitrary, and one person being rash and ruining the dynasty.

And so, very well.

Checks and balances and mutual cooperation.

"Wait, Emperor Xie!" Hairun and Shangguan Zhiyuan knelt on the ground together.

"When the prime minister is dismissed, this second decree will be read, and you will be mentally prepared. But before I do that, I hope you will grant me a request. Xiao Dongli spoke slowly.

Hairun and Shangguan Zhiyuan looked at each other.

Xiao Dong said, "No matter who is the king, I hope you can assist with all your heart." The world, or the world, can you do it? ”

"The ministers obey." Hairun jaw head.

"Good." Xiao Dongli nodded, took out the third holy decree, and put it in the box, "Wait until tomorrow, when the second holy decree is read, you can open this box, take out the holy decree inside and read it in the hall." Whoever dares to disobey my will will will be beheaded without forgiveness. ”

Obviously, this is serious.

Hairun took it with both hands cautiously, "Is there something uncomfortable about the emperor?" ”

Xiao Dongli sat down on the chaise longue beside him, "No, I just feel tired." Go down! He took out the long-standing Xun from his sleeve and wiped it carefully, unaware that there were still two people in the room.

Seeing this, Hairun and Shangguan Zhiyuan bowed and retreated.

The melodious sound of Xun, with a slight coolness and a low voice, permeated the cold and silent palace. In a few days, it will be the day when the new peach will be replaced by the old charm. At the end of the year, everyone will celebrate the New Year happily and reunite as a family.

Qingmo stood outside, listening to the low sound of Xun, but for some reason his eyes were red. This voice taught people to cry when they heard it, and taught him to think of Su Yan.

He didn't understand, why did Xiao Dongli have such a sad moment?

Everything has already been settled, even the Shangguan family, Xiao Dongli has already made arrangements. Why—why is this happening?

Just thinking about it, a eunuch hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Qingmo, he knelt on the ground, "My lord, it's not good, the emperor has died." ”

"When?" Qingmo looked at it.

The eunuch said, "Not long after the emperor left Zhaoyi Palace, the emperor committed suicide by taking poison. ”

Qingmo bowed, "Block the news, don't spread it, and wait for me to go to the emperor to make a decision." ”

The eunuch nodded again and again, and Qingmo quickly turned into the imperial study.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Dongli put down Xun, "He's dead?" ”

Qingmo was stunned, Xiao Dongli seemed to know everything.

"Yes." Qingmo bowed, "Just now, the slave came to report, saying that not long after the emperor left, the emperor committed suicide by taking poison." ”

"Tell the world, just say that the emperor's old illness has recurred, and he will return to the west." Xiao Dongli thought for a while, "Wenyuan Pavilion writes some obituaries, and before the New Year, let's do it early!" ”

Qingmo nodded, "Humble duty understands!" ”

After leaving, Qingmo deliberately glanced back at Xiao Dongli, feeling slightly sick. Xiao Dongli seemed to be very tired, no matter what happened in the past, he had never seen Xiao Dongli so tired.

How now? Is it because of state affairs? Or is it because of something else?

Faintly, even Qingmo felt that something was wrong.

However, Xiao Dongli still has to do what he explained, although he doesn't know why, although he feels inexplicable, but since it is Xiao Dongli's intention, Qingmo will not refuse.

Xiao Dongli was lying on the chaise longue, opened his eyes and thought about it, thinking about what it would be like to reunite with her in this life. He couldn't wait to see her, but he was afraid that she would hate him. So in a wheelchair, I changed my voice and went to see her. The stupid girl didn't even hear it, and he was still a little happy at the time.

Secretly happy, you can accompany her secretly, even if you change your identity.

He wanted to make everything slower, slower.

But if she slows down, she'll be in danger.

So, he was entangled and could only go to today's situation.

The fire of that year, the blood of that year, was not only in her dreams, but also in his heart. He saw the bloody woman, and he saw the raging fire.

The cold palace is no longer cold, but hot.

The hot flames devoured everything mercilessly.

Until nightfall, Xiao Dongli didn't come back, and Shangguan Jingyu didn't see Xiao Dongli after dinner, and he was a little surprised. But I saw Qingmo walking in from outside, "See the queen's mother." ”

Shangguan Jingyu immediately said, "Get up and talk back." What about the emperor? Why didn't he come? ”

"During the day, the emperor handled official business, and also summoned Lord Hai and Lord Shangguan." Qingmo got up, "The emperor is too tired, just walk halfway - rest on the spot." ”

"Too tired?" Shangguan Jingyu had never heard that Xiao Dongli would say the word "tired". He was as warm as water and never showed his vulnerability in front of her. He has always protected her and hurt him - maybe it's because of this that he is tired!

Shangguan Jingyu got up, "Where is the emperor?" ”

"The emperor asked the humble post to take the queen mother over, and wanted to surprise the mother." Qingmo hung his head.

Shangguan Jingyu chuckled, "What surprise?" ”

"Having said that, it's not a surprise. The emperor meant that the queen mother was invited to go alone. Qingmo turned around and walked out.

"Don't follow, any of you." Shangguan Jingyu's trust in Qingmo is no less than his trust in Su Yan. So she didn't think about it, so she followed Qingmo out.

But walking, walking, the palace lights swayed.

On the dim palace road, Shangguan Jingyu only felt that his whole heart was hanging high.

The next moment, she stood in place in shock, her voice trembling, "This is the direction to go to the cold palace!" ”
