The turmoil of the war gradually calmed down, and the inner courtyard of the palace performed its own duties and restored the old system. A new dynasty will begin again.

In the palace of nourishing the heart, the palace maids and attendants entered and exited in an orderly manner, and prepared the costumes for the new emperor with all their hearts.

"Yan'er has worked hard, just let the next person do these things." Liu Che'er took off the shoes and socks in Huayan's hand and helped her sit beside her.

Hua Yan shook his head and smiled, "What is this matter, today is your first time in the court, and I am also happy, I just want to join in the fun." ”

Liu Che'er patted the back of Huayan's hand, "Today is also your first time in the court, so don't be busy anymore, wait with peace of mind." ”

Huayan smiled meaninglessly, and involuntarily tidied up the beaded hat on Liu Che'er's head.

As soon as he talked about the last dynasty, Liu Che'er couldn't help but be distracted, he thought of the few problems that had not yet been solved, and frowned.

Huayan gently put the sorted beaded hat on Liu Che'er's head, and when he saw Liu Che'er's preoccupied look, he smiled clearly, "What is the emperor thinking?" ”

Liu Che'er sighed lightly: "I don't know how to face the second brother and the fourth brother, although the winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, but they are the same clan as me, how can I ignore the past feelings?" But if this precedent is set, how can the world be convinced? Worry about killing people too! ”

"It is indeed difficult to reward and punish both evenly and reasonably. But as long as the emperor is willing to be a little more tolerant, it won't be so difficult. The hearts of the people in the world are towards the emperor, and as long as the emperor makes a decision, they all support it.

I think so, it is better to let the king of Luling still return to the fiefdom, but to confiscate the military power, and prohibit the raising of soldiers, he will still be his king of Luling. As for King Pengcheng, I think the emperor can keep him and add strength to Anbang's governance. ”

"Yan'er, what does this mean? He and the King of Luling want to deal with me together, but you let me still use him? Liu Che'er asked.

"Actually, although King Pengcheng and King Luling came with the garrison, he actually did not plan to compete with the emperor for the throne."

"Oh? Why? ”

Hua Yan thought back to the past, smiled slightly, and said: "At the beginning, I asked General Shangguan to sneak into their camp and secretly release cold arrows, and he did so, but the effect of these dark arrows was at most silently injured a few little minions, and at that time they didn't expect that it would be Liu Yizhen's hands and feet, and it was not enough to provoke a war between the two armies." But in the end, Liu Yikang's military camp suddenly caught fire, and it was this fire that caused him heavy casualties, so he pointed the finger at the neighboring army. But this fire was not done by General Shangguan, and I found out the reason later, and it turned out that it was just Liu Yikang shouting to catch the thief. There are two reasons why he did this, one is to remove the worry of King Luling for the emperor, and the other is to find an excuse to deal with his wife. ”

Liu Che'er jumped up and asked in surprise: "Is this really the case?!" ”

Huayan smiled and nodded.

Liu Che'er said happily: "I know that my fourth brother will never go against me!" ”

"Originally, I was worried about ......" Huayan originally wanted to say that she was worried that Liu Yikang would betray his brother and plot against him as history said, so she always looked at him coldly, but now it seems that it was a misunderstanding.

"Worried about what?" Liu Che'er asked.

Hua Yan shook his head, "It's nothing. Your Majesty, when we go to the court, there will be a reward and punishment conference waiting for us. This reward will be decided by the emperor, as for the punishment, it will be up to me to deal with it for the emperor, the new dynasty is built, it is the time when the emperor is actively recruiting talents, it is not appropriate to show a cold face, otherwise it is easy to scare people back. ”

Liu Che'er gratefully shook Huayan's hand, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

The painting Yan pulled away unnaturally and stood up, "There is not much I can do for the emperor." When the dust settles, I'm still leaving. ”

Liu Che'er stood up indifferently, "I know, I will never embarrass you, as long as you want to leave, you can do it anytime." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to go to court." Sheng Lan pushed the door in, and called in a low voice.

"Got it." Hua Yan agreed, turned around and walked side by side with Liu Che'er towards the Taiji Palace.

On the Taiji Palace, hundreds of officials stood solemnly, and when they saw the emperor and queen coming, they all worshipped respectfully.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

"Flat."

"Emperor Xie, Empress Xie!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the construction of the new dynasty is still a waste to be rebuilt, and the recruitment of talents is still the top priority, so we must do it first. We will set up a new examination system, and implement four exams every year, which are spring, summer, autumn and winter. The matter was left to Dr. Shang. ”

Yutai Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward and was about to agree, but when she saw someone coming out of the side, she replied first: "The minister's order." ”

There were two doctors in the court, but I don't know who the emperor is referring to.

Yutai Mingyue froze in place in embarrassment for a while.

It turned out that the new dynasty had just been built, and the original subordinates in Liu Che'er's mansion had not yet been officially knighted, and Liu Che'er did not notice it, and called the wrong person for a while.

Liu Che'er patted his forehead and laughed at himself, "I'm really busy and confused, I am referring to the bright moon in Taitai." Now that I've talked about my official position, I have something important to announce. ”

He looked back at the painting, and then said, "Master Zhu, Limu stepped forward to listen to the seal." ”

Limu paused slightly, walked forward from the back of the crowd at a loss, and knelt down with Zhu Chaoshi: "The minister is here!" ”

Liu Che'er had a soft and kind face, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhu is loyal, has meritorious service in resisting the enemy, and has been promoted to General Zuo, and eats a thousand quintals." ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhu Chaoshi respectfully agreed, holding his chest full of spring breeze.

Liu Che'er turned to Limu and said with a smile: "Limu Shaoxia, young and promising, chivalrous and courageous, several times to save me in danger, I am fortunate to pick up high talents, I want to keep you as my right general, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Limu was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

He once thought of building a meritorious career, raising his eyebrows, and making 'someone' look at him differently, but he was used to being free, and he never thought of really standing on top of the court and being a well-behaved court official.

Hua Yan stared from afar, and suddenly said: "Limu, the emperor needs you, and you should have your own career." ”

Limu suddenly looked at him, and then replied: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Liu Che'er nodded with satisfaction, and successively rewarded Shangguan Zhanfeng, Shantai Mingyue and others.

Xu Xianzhi was promoted to Xiangguo, Fu Liang was a doctor of imperial history, and Nie Feng was a lieutenant in the army.

Everyone received the reward and returned to their places with peace of mind.

Huayan looked around, deliberately cleared his voice, and then said: "King Luling and King Pengcheng have always had a deep brotherhood with the emperor, and this time they came from thousands of miles to congratulate, and the emperor and the palace were also deeply happy. King Luling personally sent 150,000 good soldiers to help fight the enemy, and made a lot of efforts to eliminate the drug barrier this time. The emperor and the palace feel in their hearts. Therefore, I still want to hand over Luling County to the second prince, and hope that the second prince will continue to be exempted. ”

Saying that, Huayan unprecedentedly showed an extremely kind smile to Liu Yizhen.

Liu Yi's heart sank, and he couldn't help but shudder secretly.

Painting his face is a compliment, and he confiscated the soldiers and horses that Liu Yizhen had worked so hard to save in one sentence.

Liu Yizhen was already in the mouth of a tiger, and there was no way to escape, so he had no room to refuse, so he had to endure the pain and kneel on the ground to thank him.

Seeing that Liu Yizhen was still cooperative, Huayan turned to Liu Yikang and said: "The emperor has always been thinking about the love with the fourth prince since you grew up, and I am always thinking about it, and the palace thinks that it is better for the four princes to stay, and the two brothers can also help." As for the mansion, the prince doesn't have to worry at all, the palace has sent someone to recast, naturally they are all first-class, during this time, the prince and the princess can temporarily stay in the palace, and the palace also hopes that the four princesses will accompany the palace more to talk. What do the four princes think? ”

Liu Yikang was confused when he heard it, and he didn't know what to do without Tateshi Linlang to make an idea for him. But the unquestionable eyes of the painting made him make a decision, "Everything should be done according to the emperor's wishes." ”

Hua Yan nodded in satisfaction, and when the task was complete, she sat back down.

"Why can't you see it?" Liu Che'er seemed to have noticed that Xiao Minglang was missing, or he was deliberately asking.

Everyone didn't know, only Limu stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, Xiao Gongzi has taken off his armor and returned home a few days ago." ”

"Why is it so sudden, I don't even know it?"

"Xiao Gongzi, he may want to go home too much, the emperor knows him as a person, he has never liked to be noisy, and his ambition is between mountains and rivers."

Liu Che'er sighed abruptly, "I know him, and it's hard for him to choose the life he wants after all these years." ”

After saying that, he looked back at the painting again.

The face of the painting was not revealed, and he suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, the concubines should also retreat, and go back to the palace first." ”

"Go ahead." Liu Che'er agreed softly.

When Huayan turned around, he suddenly turned back to Limu under the hall and said: "Limu, you come with the palace, the palace has something to ask you." ”

Limu didn't want to pass through the hall, but suddenly thought of something, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Liu Che'er for instructions.

Liu Che'er immediately nodded in agreement, and then he followed Huayan and left.

After getting out of the hall, Huayan suddenly felt his head light, and he shook when he walked.

Sheng Lan and Limu hurriedly stepped forward to support them left and right, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Hua Yan felt panicked, and his hands and feet were weak, but he still held his mind and shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just that this costume is too heavy, and I don't feel comfortable for a while." ”

Sheng Lan and Limu glanced at each other, they both knew that Huayan was sad for Xiao Minglang's departure.

Hua Yan barely squeezed out a smile and helped them continue to walk forward slowly, "When he left, did he say anything?" Hua Yan suddenly asked sideways.

Limu was a little unbearable, but still replied honestly: "He didn't say anything, and by the time I found out, he had already gone a long way." ”

Hua Yan nodded slightly, and walked aimlessly forward with a bloodless face.

The winter sun was warm, but she didn't notice it.

"It turned out to be the queen's mother!"

Huayan turned around numbly, looking at the oncoming group of people and others with a blank face.

The leader is Zhu Biyu, but she is followed by Tateshi, who temporarily lives in the palace.

Seeing Tatelinlang far away from the wood, he suddenly became nervous, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"What's wrong with the Queen? Is it uncomfortable to be pale? Do you want to call the imperial doctor for you to take a look? Zhu Biyu smiled, but said domineeringly.

Huayan really didn't have the strength to deal with it, and he didn't bother to deal with it, so he said lightly, "No." And he wanted to turn away.

How could she let go of such a good opportunity, she stepped forward and stopped: "Queen Mother, you haven't seen Sister Jade yet, it's really rare for our sisters to get together, you have to stay, let's catch up on the old days!" ”

Li Mu couldn't look at it, so he had the courage to gently brush it aside and said angrily: "The queen needs to rest, let's talk about it another day!" ”

Saying that, the three of them had just walked a few steps, when they suddenly heard a sharp and miserable bird howl behind them, and Limu was the first to notice the strangeness, but he didn't dare to say it directly to the painting.

Sheng Lan turned around and exclaimed, "What are you doing?" Let go of Danfeng! That's the Queen's Bird! ”

Painting Yan's heart sank, you just don't want to live a life of peace, right? Hua Yan thought, gradually stiffened his face, looked back coldly, and walked towards the group of people again.
