Chapter 258: Acting

In the Yongshou Palace, Emperor Changping and the four princes talked. The four princes have walked very steadily, and they speak very smoothly, and at this moment Emperor Changping is listening to the four princes' milky recitation poems.

When the four princes finished reciting, Changping Emperor Long Yan Dayue: "Kun'er is really too smart, smarter than him when he was three years old." It's incredible. Ai Concubine, all the princes you gave birth to me are so good. ”

Concubine Li, who was beautiful and beautiful, said with a shy face: "Your Majesty, Kun'er is still young, so I don't deserve your praise." ”

Emperor Changping said: "Where I praise him, it is that he is really smart." It's a pity that I can't tell others about this cleverness, it's really too aggrieved. Hey, I have to endure the concubine for a few more days, and when the sacrifice is over, the next thing is the ceremony of the concubine. At that time, Concubine Ai became the middle palace, and she took over the palace affairs justifiably, and she had to clean up the palace well. ”

"In the harem, after experiencing the brutal management of the abolition, and experiencing the selfishness of the virtuous concubine, the atmosphere is extremely bad. This not only affected the harem, affected the growth of my children, but also affected the previous dynasty. Now, the former dynasty is an excellent time for development, and the national teacher Mingyue can excel, and at a young age he is already my right-hand man, helping me deal with the busy government affairs. Our beloved son Rui'er not only became the guardian of the martial arts and the royal family, but also had outstanding military talents, and achieved the greatest victory in the 200 years of the dynasty. Glory to the ancestors. ”

"Although the construction of Taoism in various places is only the beginning, it has begun to bear initial results. Next, Mingyue also made several suggestions to me, among them, there is to increase the number of officials and cultivate the virtue of honesty with high income. There is also the need to build roads throughout the Great Zhou, starting with a few large roads, slowly connecting various provinces, then connecting various states and counties, and finally making it convenient for every person in the Great Zhou to travel. This is a great thing for a thousand years of merit. In addition, the administration of officials also needs to be reformed, many bloated institutions must be eliminated, and many unqualified officials must be held accountable. ”

"So many things, but I'm not young anymore. I don't know if I can see the arrival of the prosperous era in my lifetime. Although I am no longer there in the future, Kun'er, with the assistance of Mingyue and Rui'er, will definitely be able to accomplish these great deeds, but after all, I am unwilling, and I want to do as much as possible in my lifetime. ”

Concubine Li hurriedly said: "The emperor is in good health, how can you say such a thing, long live the emperor." ”

Emperor Changping smiled and said: "The emperors of all dynasties, the people called it long live, but did one live to live to live long live?" It's not even possible to be a hundred years old. I'm no exception, and I know that. Of course, I've thought about such things as increasing my lifespan. Like Shen Tianshi, isn't it that he has already successfully cultivated the truth. In the future, he will be a person in the immortal path. However, this path is impossible for me in mortal bodies. ”

"Well, actually, I'm already gone. Mingyue has given me a lot of top-grade elixirs, as well as a lot of refined elixirs. It is because of these elixirs that I have been able to live until now and be in good health. According to what Mingyue said, in my previous life, at this time, I was no longer there. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Li's heart was shocked, how could she still have a past life? What's going on, this is the first time the emperor has said it in front of her? However, after decades in the deep palace, Concubine Li has long practiced the ability to be invisible, and her heart is turbulent, but she is still calm on the surface.

Emperor Changping continued: "In short, I hope to use my limited time to do more. In the affairs of the previous dynasty, there were naturally ministers who helped me. However, in this harem, I will be handed over to Concubine Ai in the future. Concubine Ai must take care of it for me. Don't let me be distracted by this. ”

Seeing that the emperor said cautiously, Concubine Li hurriedly made a big salute and said, "The concubine must do her best to manage the harem." ”

Emperor Changping was very happy. He personally helped Concubine Li up and said, "Concubine Ai, please get up, today, I will stay here?" ”

Concubine Li looked at the four princes who were still playing on the side, her face turned red and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines are naturally looking forward to the emperor staying." However, for the safety of Kun'er during this period of time, he also asked the emperor to sit with the virtuous concubine, and then go to the harem concubine. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I have wronged you. ”

Emperor Changping remembered the mother and son of the virtuous concubine, and felt a burst of annoyance in his heart for no reason, back then, the prince was old and lived in the storage position for a long time, so he had a heart that he shouldn't have, and he actually wanted to rebel against his father. If Mingyue hadn't informed him in time, I was afraid that it would have caused a catastrophe.

Now, the crown prince has been deposed and Empress Yang is dead. However, in the harem, a virtuous concubine came out again. Concubine Xian usually looks fine, otherwise how could he have given her a virtuous character as a title?

But she didn't expect that after the death of Queen Yang, who was suppressed on her head, her true nature was revealed. Not only is he jealous of the harem concubines, he has no grace, and he can fight with the little concubines, but he also deducts the use of the palace concubines, forms a party for personal gain, and makes the harem a mess, even worse than when Queen Yang was there. Such a person, if she becomes the queen mother in the future, this harem doesn't know what to make for her. What a fool.

Let's take a look at Xiao Xi, the son born to Concubine Xian. This virtuous king who is usually praised by the government and the opposition. Now since the crown prince was imprisoned, his true form has been revealed, extravagant, greedy for power, forming a party for personal gain, only thinking about fighting for power and profit all day long, never thinking about the people of Li, nor how to protect the country. If such a person becomes the emperor, he is still alive, and he is afraid that the foundation of the Great Zhou will be squandered by him.

In this way, a person with great ambition and talent still thinks that the storage position is his cyst, and he does not allow others to touch it, and even prepares to coerce himself, the emperor, to make him the crown prince in the court. It's really unbearable.

In the harem, he also stepped in to help his mother compete for favor and suppress the little concubine, just look at how Wan Zhaoyi's fetus didn't exist. Although there is no evidence, Emperor Changping knows that this is the hands and feet of Concubine Xian.

In comparison, among the adult princes, Xiao Rui, who was born to Concubine Li, is much better. He has excellent ability, and he has also achieved martial arts, he will never pose a threat to the throne, and he has super military talent. Such a prince is only afraid that the emperors of all dynasties will be envious.

Look at Xiao Kun, the little prince born to Concubine Li, who is still a child, and has already revealed his intelligent qualifications. This is a good candidate for the prince. Concubine Li really made a great contribution to the Great Zhou royal family. Such a credit is not too much to be a queen.

However, before Concubine Li did not grasp the power in the palace, she had to guard against Concubine Xian's mother and son making trouble, there was no way, she could only act for everyone during this period of time, and show her respect for Concubine Xian, so as to mislead Concubine Xian into thinking that she was about to be established. In order to ensure the safety of the fourth prince Xiao Kun.

Emperor Changping sighed, even as an emperor, he can't do what he wants.
