Li Ming and Yu Chong trembled when they heard this, knowing that their own affairs in the previous dynasty had already been known by the Queen Mother, so they shirked each other in a panic and let the other party explain.

The Queen Mother looked at their frightened expressions, and found that they were also afraid of what they had done, and she was overjoyed, knowing that she would be able to say the next thing smoothly.

Sure enough, Yu Chong took the lead in expressing his loyalty and said, "Queen Mother, the ministers were also confused for a while, but they dared to promise that this kind of thing would never happen again in the future. Queen Mother, if you have any orders, your ministers will definitely not hesitate to do it." Li Ming also hurriedly agreed, for fear that he would be robbed of the limelight by Yu Chong.

And the Queen Mother saw that her goal had been achieved, so she didn't plan to embarrass the two of them anymore, but nodded and replied: "In this case, the two of you should stop arguing each other, this will not be beneficial to each other, and it will also affect other people, if Your Majesty knows these things, do you think you can still keep this black gauze hat on your head?" At that time, even if it is a mourning family, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you."

The two of them listened and nodded their heads in agreement.

"Okay, you stand down, the mourning family believes that according to the fact that you are all smart people, you should understand the good intentions of the mourning family." The Queen Mother said.

And it was clear that it was not enough to just let the two of them stop, so the Queen Mother wanted to collect evidence that these things were done by Ji Changye and the emperor in collusion, so that those ministers who were kept in the dark and used could understand the truth of the matter, so that she didn't have to do anything to solve these troubles and stumbling blocks.

Three days later, in the palace study.

"Why did Yu Chong and Li Ming suddenly stop these days? Didn't you make a fuss a few days ago over the occupation of land?" The emperor listened to the situation reported by the eyeliner, and said to Ji Changye very strangely.

Ji Changye was also very puzzled, after noticing the abnormality, he sent someone to investigate the matter, but he found nothing, Yu Chong and Li Ming suddenly stopped fighting openly and secretly. Because he hadn't posed any threat yet, Ji Changye planned to put this matter down first, and there were more important things for him to enter the palace this time.

"Your Majesty, seeing that there are more and more ministers in the court who are being tempted and show their feet, they will basically become a disaster in the future, and they must not be allowed to stay. However, it will definitely affect the handling of government affairs in the imperial court, and it can't be abandoned like this. Therefore, the minister thinks that it is also time to select some new officials, or to train some trustworthy subordinates, so that they can inherit these government affairs in the future." Ji Changye said.

And the emperor also felt a little reasonable after hearing these words, after all, this matter has to be considered sooner or later, so why bother at the last critical moment? So the emperor agreed: "Then tell me if there is a suitable candidate." Speaking of this, it is also to test Ji Changye, to see if his thoughts on these things are to enrich his own pockets, or if he is really willing to sacrifice for the future of the country and his family.

Ji Changye knew that the emperor would ask this, so he handed over the list prepared in advance to the emperor. Look at the book

Looking at the names on it, the emperor was a little surprised, looked at Ji Changye in disbelief, and finally couldn't help asking, "You are not one of these people?" This made him a little unbelievable, after all, Ji Changye had been in power for so many years, and he didn't recommend his protégés or cronies to enter the court as officials on weekdays, and even if he handed over this right to him this time, he didn't consider his own interests.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Chinese military officials of the imperial court are all selected for the sake of the world's life, and the courtiers and other recommendations are just not to let the truly talented people be buried, if it is just for their own selfish desires to recommend officials, it must be a great rebel." Ji Changye replied respectfully.

At this time, the emperor was completely relieved of Ji Changye, looking at the roster he handed over, the emperor thought for a moment and said, "There are still a few of them who are the prince's former protégés, aren't you afraid that these people will not know how to help the prince join your army?"

Ji Changye shook his head and replied confidently, "I was not afraid. No matter who these protégés are, their minds are not bad, and their articles and ambitions have been investigated, which is very different from the prince and others, so after thinking about it, I feel that it can't be because of too

It is unfair to them that their careers will be affected because of their children. The minister just recommended them, if they soar in the future, it is also because they rely on their own ability, and the minister has nothing to do with it. Naturally, they don't dare to ask for anything in return, and besides, they won't take revenge on their ministers." He's not sure, though, so it's a bet.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, then put the fold on the bookcase, and instructed the people below to fetch a box and said, "This is a gift I prepared for you and the princess before, but there are too many things in the harem before, and I always forgot to give this to you, so you can bring it back today."

With that, the emperor handed the box to Ji Changye.

Ji Changye hesitated and didn't take it, and replied with some surprise: "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable, you are worried about all matters related to the wedding, and you have prepared a dowry for the princess, the minister and the princess are already grateful, how can you be embarrassed to accept this again?"

The emperor listened to his words, pretended to be angry and said, "Those things are all etiquette, to put it bluntly, they are all made for others to see, even if I don't prepare these, don't you still have to prepare? This is my own heart, and it can be regarded as a blessing for your father." Thinking that he was very good friends with Ji Changye's father at the beginning, he didn't expect such a change to happen, thinking that he could see Ji Changye marry an excellent wife in the spirit of heaven, but he couldn't really do anything, so the emperor is like this now.

Listening to the emperor's words, Ji Changye finally made up his mind to take it.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the emperor hurriedly turned around and went to the inner chamber.

Ji Changye also opened the box at this time, and found that it was a pair of fine white jade, engraved with the words of him and Song Qian, which were carefully prepared by the emperor.

I don't know how long it took, listening to the sound of rummaging things inside, Ji Changye couldn't help but ask with some worry: "Your Majesty, do you need a minister to help you ......" Before the words fell, the emperor walked over with an old sandalwood box.

"This is what your father and mother left to you, and at that time it was said that you would wait until you were weak and married to the person you loved. I thought it was time to return it to its rightful owner." He watched Ji Changye and Song Qian's lovers finally become married, although he couldn't predict what the future would be, but he was sure that Song Qian was Ji Changye's true beloved, so he took this out.

Ji Changye didn't shirk the emperor when he heard that it was something left by his father and mother, but when he wanted to open it to find out, he was stopped by the emperor and said, "It's better to open it after you go back, after all, this is what your father and mother left you, and it is inconvenient for others to see it." Alright, if there's nothing to do, you can go back. Didn't I say that you, you're at this age, you should also consider the matter of passing on the lineage, right?" The emperor abruptly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, Yuanbao is ......" Ji Changye wanted to speak and stopped wanting to tell the emperor that Yuanbao was his own flesh and blood, so he didn't need to think about anything else, and he didn't have much energy to think about it.

The Emperor patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is not only my hope, but the hope of all of us. After you go back, discuss with Song Qian, hurry up and don't let me wait too long? Isn't it also a good thing for this ingot to give him a playmate? In the future, when Yuan Bao inherits your title and becomes the regent, this brother can also help, right?" Now there is no big problem with Ji Changye's body, Song Qian's body is easy to raise, according to the emperor's thoughts, I feel that Ji Changye should be full of children and grandchildren.

But Ji Changye didn't think so, and he felt that Song Qian would definitely not agree, after all, her thoughts were a little out of the way. However, he couldn't refute the emperor repeatedly, so he could only answer first: "Your Majesty, this matter will be discussed with Song Niangzi after he returns, so don't worry." The minister will retire first." Saying that, Ji Changye fled and left here, for fear that if he stayed for a while, he would be forced to agree to this matter.

Looking at Ji Changye's back, the emperor sighed helplessly.

After returning to the palace, Ji Changye came to find Song Qian and handed over the pair of jade pendants given by the emperor to Song Qian.

"Your Majesty

This is too polite, how can we be embarrassed to accept it? So much was given at the time of the wedding." Song Qian deliberately wanted to let Ji Changye send this back,

And Ji Changye saw Song Qian's thoughts, so he said, "I didn't want to accept it, but Your Majesty said that this matter was his own mind, and those were all made for others to see when he got married, and I thought it would not be good to live up to His Majesty's wishes, so I accepted this. Song Niangzi, don't think too much, I have also been watched by His Majesty since I was a child, my father and His Majesty have a deep friendship, and there is some blood relationship, if it weren't for the difference between monarchs and ministers, I'm afraid it would be even closer than now, so there is nothing to accept this."

Listening to Ji Changye's comfort, Song Qian had no choice but to nod and agree, "Since this is the case, I thank Your Majesty." She turned her head and saw another box in Ji Changye's hand.

After Ji Changye found Song Qian's eyes, he took it out and explained, "Your Majesty said that this was left by my father and mother, and said that after I was weak, I would open it when I married someone I really loved, so Your Majesty asked me to bring it back to take a look."

After hearing this, Song Qian was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Changye: "Song Niangzi, now you are also my wife, so stay and take a look together, maybe there are still things left for you."

"Okay." Song Qian turned around and stayed.

Ji Changye opened the lock of the box and saw that inside was a letter, a jade bracelet and a gold lock.

After opening the letter, the content on it made Ji Changye look slightly stunned, Song Qian looked at him with slightly red eyes and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, after all, Ji Changye lost his parents since he was a child, and he escaped death in the intrigue officialdom since he was a child.

After a while, Ji Changye put down the letter and said to Song Qian: "This bracelet is my mother's dowry at that time, left to you, this golden lock was called by the second elder to Xiao Shizi, Song Niangzi, you can take it for Yuanbao."

"How does this work?"
