"Ahem......" When my voice fell, everyone in the hall suddenly felt uncomfortable and choked half to death with saliva.

But he heard Yingwu's majestic words sound: "Your Majesty, as the emperor, how can you speak in vain!" ”

Only then did I remember that there was an old fairy sitting below, and my throat was uncomfortable, so I said embarrassedly: "Ahem, don't blame Zongzheng, I lost my words for a while......"

Yingwu said slowly: "Your Majesty is the head of Qian, and he is compassionate to the people; The ministers are loyal to your majesty, and there is nothing wrong with them. The old minister thought that if His Majesty wanted to inspect the world, he needed to complete two things. ”

I looked overjoyed and asked, "What does Zong Zheng think?" ”

Yingwu glanced up at me and arched his hand: "First, Your Majesty has reached the year of crowning, and you need to make plans after you are crowned." ”

I nodded, and there was no objection: "This matter is already being handled by Feng Si, and Yongcheng will perform a crown ceremony after worshipping the ancestors." ”

"Second." Yingwu continued: "Your Majesty has been crowned, and you should be the queen!" If the queen is established, the harem can be safe; The female monarch has been supported, and the court can be determined! ”

I gradually retracted my smile, and my face was as calm as water. But I sighed in my heart: what should come will come after all!

Yu He agreed: "The minister thinks what Zongzheng said is reasonable. The queen is a female monarch, if Your Majesty is not in the national capital, there is a queen in charge, and the court can be safe! ”

Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

Leaving the Xianyang Palace, I took Qi Juan to the Ba Lady Palace, and I didn't have to worry about anything in Taoyao.

Without being announced, I walked straight in, and I saw that Tao Yao was personally watering a piece of bluegrass by the wall.

"Just let them do these things." I stepped forward and took the slip from her hand and threw it in the barrel.

Tao Yao smiled slightly: "The concubine heard from Sister Lan that His Majesty loves orchids, so she asked people to find some seedlings, lest they be reckless and destroy these orchids." ”

Then he remembered something, and said with some surprise: "Why is Your Majesty here?" Isn't it a great pilgrimage today? ”

I sat down in the courtyard and sighed, "I'm a little bored, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Tao Yao waved her hand lightly, and everyone bowed and retreated.

stepped forward and sat opposite, picked up the kettle on the tandoor next to him and began to make tea, still did not ask what happened, but comforted: "Family affairs are still complicated, it is difficult to sort out, how can state affairs be easily decided?" Besides, there are many ministers planning for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty does not need to worry. ”

I snorted and said displeased, "I wouldn't be like this without them." ”

Tao Yao smiled and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't talk angry." Take a break with some tea. ”

I picked up the cup and tasted it, nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that those people in Ba are quite capable, and the roasted tea tastes acceptable." ”

Raising his eyes, Meng He hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, the letter sent by Zongzheng." ”

I frowned slightly, just now in the hall I only said "discuss tomorrow" and left, probably because of Yingwu's letter to persuade me.

After opening it, as expected, there were only a few words: Today's old ministers in the palace did not intend to damage the prestige of His Majesty, but in fact, the position of the emperor and queen was related to the stability of the country. The position is uncertain, where is the society going? The king of the future generations will be as eloquent as His Majesty? Your Majesty wants to see the young and the long, and the hands and feet are stuck on the wall?

I took the letter into my bosom and continued to drink tea.

Tao Yao saw me put away the letter and smiled indifferently: "Is it for the sake of the future?" ”

I looked up at her in astonishment, and wondered, "How do you know?" ”

After finishing speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "No, yes...... The matter of the eldest princesses. ”

Tao Yao looked at me with a smile: "The gentleman doesn't say anything, why does Your Majesty need to be like this?" The concubine has long said that she has no intention of being the queen. ”

I feigned anger and said, "You, you, if you were a man, I would kill you first!" ”

Tao Yao covered her mouth and smiled and shrugged her shoulders up and down, and after a while, she restrained her smile and said solemnly: "Concubine please condemn Your Majesty!" ”

"Hahaha." I laughed out loud and said, "I'm joking with you, why are you so serious?" ”

Tao Yao's expression did not slow down at all, and he still said respectfully: "The concubine asked the queen mother in Wan'an Palace the day before yesterday to choose the queen for your majesty after her majesty was crowned, so just now the servant shot a letter from Zongzheng, and the concubine knew that it was a matter of the future, otherwise how could the concubine guess so accurately?" ”

I saw that Tao Yao didn't seem to be laughing, and gradually restrained her smile, and became a little angry: "Why did you do this? ”

Tao Yao lowered her head and arched her hand: "The concubine can't be the queen, and the reason for this has long been clear to Your Majesty." The concubine also does not want to be the queen, the queen is a female monarch and has a respected status, but at the same time there will be many intrigues. The concubine has been in charge of the Ba clan for six years, and she is already tired of deceit, does Your Majesty want the concubine to float and sink in those undercurrents? ”

After a long silence, I put down the cup in my hand: "Add tea." ”

Tao Yao obediently poured the cup full, I picked it up and tasted it, and said: "Qi Juan, go back to the Queen Mother and Zongzheng, and ask them to call the shots." ”

Qi Wan bowed and left.

I suddenly couldn't help laughing, pointed at Tao Yao and said, "You should be glad I'm still young." ”

Tao Yaoxiu frowned slightly, puzzled: "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

"If I am old and frail, I will go before you, and sooner or later, with your character, I will be like the eldest sister's mother, Concubine Han, and I will be depressed in the palace for the rest of my life!" I said distressedly.

Tao Yao also laughed, and teased: "By then, the children will be older, and the concubine will follow Your Majesty." ”

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows and thought, "In this case, I have to work hard to make our children grow up early!" ”

Tao Yao's face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty......"

I put down the cup, got up and said with a wicked smile: "I will go to Yongcheng to worship the ancestors in a few days, and I will come to clean you up after the ancestors!" ”

Tao Yao hurriedly got up to see me off, was held in my arms, and whispered: "Don't wronged yourself, you can talk to me about life and death, is there anything you can't say?" ”

Tao Yao said softly, "Hmm", and responded: "The concubine is the lord of the richest merchant in Daqin at a young age, and Your Majesty doesn't have to worry that the concubine will wronged herself." ”

I let go of her and waved, "I'm gone." ”

On the way back to the Sihai Palace, I instructed: "Meng He, go and call the Gong in." ”

————

The Four Seas Palace, Gong Zhijin stood respectfully in front of me.

I told him what I thought in detail, and finally said: "This matter should not be difficult, you do it as soon as possible, I want to see the results next spring, remember to experiment in a place far away from people." ”

After thinking about it again, he still had to prepare something for the patrol, and then said, "Didn't I give you the blueprints of the short gun?" You go back and make a batch as soon as possible, just have twenty or thirty sticks, and you need to use them when I go out on patrol, just in case. ”

The public bowed down and said yes, and immediately went out to prepare.

Then he ordered someone to call Bai Chong and Su He.
