But He Ye brought Eleven Niang here tonight, not to explore the queen's desires and purposes.

He smiled lightly, and his eyes suddenly rolled with thick gentleness: "To this day, occasionally I will come here to meditate and breathe, which is a small rest to recuperate, but when I come back here, I can't help but open the north window, sometimes I will see you, just a blurred figure, and in a blink of an eye it will be covered by flowers and leaves, but it is this glance that will calm down the mood." ”

Eleven Niang obviously didn't expect the emperor to go through the old foreshadowing, but it was for sweet words, and the love words came so suddenly and unexpectedly, but at this moment, Eleven Niang didn't feel confused.

She felt her cheeks burn slightly, as if suddenly, the breeze warmed up, destroying the flowers and trees.

"Yiyi, this palace is not only my home, but also your home, the former dynasty and the harem, as well as the great rivers and mountains beyond the palace walls, the boundaries beyond our eyes, do not belong to me alone, you are also the master, so I think we should work together to transform this place." He Ye pointed out the window: "This is a homeland, not a battlefield, the people who live here should not hate each other and pour into each other, so I don't want more ill-intentioned people to live here, I don't want here, our homeland, to be polluted by these people's desires and greed." ”

Only then did Eleven Niang realize her mistake, she thought that He Ye's refusal to enrich the harem at the court meeting was due to the interference of Empress Dowager Wei and Feng Jizheng and others, and even wishful thinking that she would care about more concubines and concubines, and many princes would threaten Chi'er's position in the future. She has never regarded this palace as her home, in her eyes, this is the battlefield, and it should be full of power conspiracies, so she only thinks about the overall situation, and out of the responsibility of the lord of the harem, she suggests that He Ye accept the invitation of the queen mother and courtiers, because in her opinion, this is the general trend and the reality that must be faced sooner or later.

Once again, she ignored He Ye's emotions and ignored him, from the heart, simple and beautiful wishes.

She has always regarded herself as a queen, and she cannot think about the present and the future as a wife.

The sensitive emperor still saw through her disguise in the end.

"Yiyi, I don't blame you, I just want you to know my original intentions, you said those words, I think so, I know, I can't change this side of the window now, I can't let you and Chi'er, stay away from the open guns and arrows, but I won't give up my efforts, so I hope you believe me, one day, you will also regard this place as home, as a belonging, as an indispensable part of life. I will not regret the long and quiet between the mountains and rivers, this is what I should give to you, I just hope you can wait, you can look forward to. ”

No, before it began, it was despairing that life could not have both.

Eleven Niang looked at the night in a daze, at this time, because people fell asleep, it looked lonely and calm on the battlefield, and her heart was very sour, because she knew her incompetence, her life had never been longing, she didn't have it when she was a Wodan, and now she won't indulge in promises and wishes, she doesn't seem to have a way to work together with the emperor standing side by side in this matter, and the truth she has always recognized is that there is no despair without expectations.

Her home had been destroyed twenty years ago, and even if she could vindicate her family's grievances, she would never be able to reunite with them again.

She is reborn, and she has long since died, and the extra life does not allow her to have more expectations and expectations, and the place where she belongs is not outside this window, or even outside the window when she turns around, between heaven and earth.

Therefore, she doesn't seem to be able to promise the people around her, and she doesn't seem to be able to let him continue to have longing, because what awaits him must only be disheartened.

He Ye did not force Eleven Niang's promise.

He wrestled her shoulders, his lips and tongue more decisive than words, omitting gentle and tentative steps, and his breathing was so rapid that there was no room for hesitation or refusal.

He knew that he was actually desperate for the response of the person in his arms, but he was afraid to explore the reality of Eleven Niang, just like he was afraid of the gradual estrangement and estrangement between him and her, he was even more afraid of complete loss, he didn't want to watch the two of them drift apart, and one day even parted ways, he minded her concealment, minded her reservations, but compared to all this, what was even more unacceptable was the end of Lao Yan's flight.

Outside the two windows, he doesn't want to lose, this is his ambition, he wants to become the lord of the prosperous world, but he is more and more unwilling to become a loner on the dragon chair, the north window above the wing should not be sealed, should not become the past that he can't face, if it is destined to be outside this window, the future will be full of devastation......

"Yiyi, I don't want to be another person, someone who even feels strange to me, or can't be called a human at all, just a walking corpse."

When he said this, his clothes were already messy, and in the green gauze tent, the man's breath was still burning the woman's lips and tongue, he did not wait for the words to respond, after a slightly longer breath, the kiss moved to her earlobe, he knew that this was her sensitive and easy to be emotional, as long as he sucked enthusiastically, he could make her breath follow the chaos, and then he could go to the clouds and rain together, forget all the troubles for a while, only in this way, like water and milk, he could feel that between the two of them, they were still close to each other.

——

April, the seemingly ordinary and unremarkable Chang Dynasty, affected more than just the emperor and queen.

Came forward to propose the election of the harem of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Du Jianzhi, is the cousin of Zhao Guogong's grandfather Du Jianhong, because of the involvement, once trapped in prison, although pardoned, but the Empress Dowager Wei was not expected to be reused when she was in power, until He Ye ascended to the pole, under the strong recommendation of the orthodox faction headed by Feng Jizheng, and He Ye was also willing to appease the Du clan, Du gradually knew that he was able to get the post of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

He is not a member of the Queen Mother's party, but he is grateful to Feng Jizheng, the two are usually moving around, under the influence of Feng Jizheng, Du gradually knows that he is also worried about the descendants who are gradually sitting up, to be fair, although the new emperor is young and strong, but there is only a single prince under his knees, the national mourning period is excepted, the prince has been decided, the minister of rites is the prosperity of the heirs of the heavenly family, and the proposal to hire famous ladies, and the selection of the harem is indeed based on duties. Not to mention the great evil.

Whoever does his job and causes the emperor to refute it for no reason, it is inevitable that he will not accept the reason in his heart - except for the flattering people who are vegetarian and flattering.

It is even more unlikely that because the ministers who seconded the proposal were mixed with the remnants of the Queen Mother, their determination would waver and they would simply give up their duties.

The emperor did not admonish, and Du Yanzhi was also full of grievances, and after he was on duty, he was invited by Feng Jizheng on his own initiative, so he naturally gathered at Feng Shilang's mansion with several colleagues to discuss.

The main family did not prepare delicacies and wine, and there was no silk and bamboo, and the dancing girl was entertaining, only a few teas and a couch sat around.

An indignant person took the lead in complaining: "Du Shangshu's advice is where the duty lies, loyalty to the monarchy, but it was refuted by the saint, it can be seen that Feng Gong judged that although the saint is wise and brave, he is confused by the descendants, let me wait, I have to worry about the chaos of the foreign relatives, and the close ministers mislead the country." ”

Du gradually knew that he didn't say anything, but his solemn look already showed that he agreed with this person's opinion.

But I heard another person complaining: "Let's not mention this matter first, the most hateful thing is that Xue Xuanzhi, He Chengtai and other descendants, for the sake of power, actually instigated the so-called new policy of Admiral Yongsheng to promote the whole country, for many years, it is customary to allow the people of the Pi tribe to be exempted from taxes, this is good, He Chengtai cleared and searched the hidden fields, and made the world restless......

Du gradually knew that there were objections, because in his opinion, the old tax system can no longer meet the current development, whether it is tax reform or official reform, it is all beneficial to the country and the people, how can it become the instigation of the descendants? You can't just because He Chengtai served as a picket envoy to investigate the illegal things in the hidden fields and damage some small personal interests, so you can't defile the beneficial government as a mistake!

He was a little worried that Feng Shilang would also make the mistake of rushing forward, but fortunately, he immediately heard the refuge.

"Be careful! Although we are worried that the power of our relatives and descendants will threaten the imperial power, causing the distress of the society and the calamity of the subjects, we cannot resist the benefit of the government and the emperor's order because of the queen and Xue Xuanzhi, etc., and the reform of the tax law can indeed benefit the people, which is conducive to the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people. ”

Du Yanzhi couldn't help but pause again and again, expressing his support for Feng Shilang's selflessness.

"The original intention of inviting you today is how to persuade the saint to follow the ancestral system, focus on the stability of the society, fill the harem and prosper the country, prevent the queen from interfering in politics and power, and bury hidden dangers for the country and the country." Feng Jizheng emphasized again.

But he also knows that the people here, there are pure ministers like Du Yanzhi, and there are also selfish and profit-oriented people, but this is not important, his purpose is to unite his colleagues, be sure to promote the discussion of courtesy, his niece wants to enter the palace, but nieces can't fight alone, they also need help, they not only want to promote the emperor's approval of the courtesy, but also strive to hold the decision-making power in their hands, at least a few who have frequent contacts with him, and even relatives and old friends, it is best to have a daughter to be hired, so that it is enough to compete with the queen.

But Feng Jizheng and others belong to the poetry and book family, and they are more concerned about maintaining the name of the Qing Gao than the ordinary family prestige, these people are disdainful of using women to compete for favor and seek benefits for the family, of course, such "disdain" may not be pure, such as the Shen family and other parts, the younger brother is incompetent, and the family is gradually declining, in fact, he wants to use marriage to change the status quo, but he has to care about the comments and act forward, they need Feng Jizheng to provide a step, and they need a banner to resist slander, so that they can gain fame and fortune.

Feng Jizheng did think of the banner.

"We are the family of poetry and books, although we are not ashamed to use women to invite pets, but the current situation, the queen mother party must be dedicated to women, and then the descendants sit on the big relatives for trouble, when today's son is ambitious, this is the luck of the society, if because of the harem of various hidden dangers, once again stimulate the trouble, not only is there no hope of governing the world, but even will make the monarch hidden in danger again! At this time, we can not use the excuse of cherishing fame and indulging in disasters, so I hope that the princes, at this very time, take the overall situation as the priority, and we will be the daughter of the poetry and book family, if we are hired into the palace by ceremony, we can advise the saint to prevent hidden dangers, assist the saint to achieve the rule of the prosperous world, and make the Great Zhou Dynasty eternal. ”

Even though these words made the Shen family and the others rejoice, they echoed in unison, with a generous and righteous face, as if they were really loyal and good people who sacrificed their personal interests for the public, and they did not hesitate to go to the soup for the rise and fall of the world.

But there are still some people who still inevitably hesitate and have concerns, so they asked: "Does Feng Shilang want to recommend Ling Yan to enter the palace?" ”
