Chapter 77

Weiyang Palace.

Jiang Qingying faced a table of dishes, but she didn't have any appetite.

At this time, she misses her father and mother even more.

Now, she is sitting on the throne, but she has become a real loner.

Eating New Year's Eve dinner alone, eating any dish is painful.

Gao Zhan, an old servant who had served two generations of emperors, bowed and asked.

"Your Majesty, is it because the food doesn't suit your appetite?"

Jiang Qingying came back to her senses.

"No, it's just..."

Gao Zhan consoled.

"Your Majesty still has a lot to do in a while, let's eat something.

In such a cold day, it is easy to catch a cold when you are hungry. "

Jiang Qingying picked up the chopsticks again.

"Yeah, I still have a lot to do."

She was just about to move her chopsticks when she suddenly thought of someone.

"Xuan Ran, Xuan Li Yunsheng entered the palace."

……

In the palace, Li Yunsheng, who was following the servant, looked up at the stars.

To tell the truth, this was his first year outside alone.

I really miss my family, how are they doing?
I don't know what my body will look like in the modern world, turning into a vegetable?
Or, it has become a handful of ashes in the cemetery.

Looking at the palace in front of him, Li Yunsheng suddenly remembered that the empress was the same as him.

Living in the palace, no relatives.

This New Year's Eve dinner is probably even more deserted than him.

"Your Majesty called me into the palace, why?"

The servant apologized.

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, Li Xiangyi should ask His Majesty himself."

The servant did not take Li Yunsheng to Fenglin Hall, but to Fengxian Hall.

Fengxian Hall.

The empress was worshiping her ancestors in the hall, but Li Yunsheng didn't go in, but stood outside the hall and waited.

The cold wind was piercing, if he hadn't entered the ninth rank, he might not be able to hold on with his small body.

Li Yunsheng, who was upright, waited for a quarter of an hour before the Empress came out of Fengxian Hall.

"His Majesty."

The Empress glanced at him.

"Have you eaten New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have already eaten."

After a long while, seeing that the Empress stopped speaking, Li Yunsheng asked.

"I don't know why His Majesty summoned his ministers?"

"Head up."

Hearing this, Li Yunsheng raised his head, only to see the Empress pointing at Fengxian Hall.

"The royal tablet is inside, do you still remember how he entrusted you?"

Li Yunsheng glanced at Fengxiandian, then looked away.

"The first emperor asked his ministers to help and protect the great Chu country."

Jiang Qingying's phoenix eyes widened as she asked.

"Father asked you to help me well, but you didn't say a word, did you?"

"Oh—yes!" Li Yunsheng seemed to have just remembered, "The late emperor asked his ministers to assist His Majesty well."

Jiang Qingying snorted coldly.

"Do you remember what you said?"

Li Yunsheng said seriously.

"I swear in front of the late emperor to assist His Majesty loyally, not to form cliques, not to seek personal gain, and if you have selfish intentions, you will be punished by heaven and earth."

"What a loyal assistant, no clique, no selfishness, but how do you do it?"

Jiang Qingying paced back and forth in front of Fengxian Hall, counting Li Yunsheng's various crimes in detail, as if suing his elders.

"In these years, you have manipulated the government, formed a party for personal gain, eradicated dissidents, privately sold officials and titles, and accepted bribes.

Did I wrong you for one thing? "

Hey!
Is this to play the emotional card?
"Since His Majesty said so, then Rong Chen also said a few words from his heart."

Li Yunsheng raised his head and looked directly at those phoenix eyes.

"If I hadn't formed a party, King Qin would have rebelled with Fei Su long ago.

If I remember correctly, the matter of eradicating Fei Su's henchmen must have been ordered by His Majesty.

If you are an upright official, how can you fight Fei Su with my lonely courage to serve the country loyally?

Party struggles cost money, so where will the money come from without bribery?
Your Majesty can ask them, do they feel at ease if they don't give money to the ministers? "

Li Yunsheng raised his finger to the sky.

"A gentleman does something, and if he doesn't do something, if God thinks that the minister has selfish intentions, then let me be punished by heaven and earth."

Jiang Qingying opened her mouth, how could he say what he did with such reason.

"Then, that Fei Su is dead. Now that the government is stable, how can you explain that you still control the government?"

Li Yunsheng asked back.

"I dare to ask, if the government is returned to His Majesty, how does His Majesty plan to deal with the minister?"

Jiang Qingying's lips did not move, and the phrase 'Of course I was dismissed from office and ransacked the house' almost blurted out.

"It should be the same as before, the monarch and his ministers are of one mind."

"In front of the tablet of the late emperor, Your Majesty did not tell the truth."

Li Yunsheng looked at the memorial tablet in Fengxian Hall.

"I'm afraid, it's His Majesty's grace to confiscate the house and ask for execution."

Seeing the theory, Jiang Qingying left with a flick of her sleeves, leaving a sentence before leaving.

"Follow me to the imperial pharmacy to worship the medicine king!"

On the side, Gao Zhan sighed in his heart, His Majesty has been manipulated to death by this kid since he was a child.

But Li Yunsheng just wanted to say that being an emperor is really tiring.

All kinds of prayers from the early morning to the early morning of the next day.

……

Shangyuan Festival.

into the night.

Before Li Yunsheng went out, he heard the music and noise in the city.

When he walked out of the mansion, his eyes lit up instantly.

The Lantern Festival here is the real festival, and there are all kinds of lanterns as far as the eye can see.

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, torches are everywhere, the moonlight shines on the ground, and the lanterns illuminate the streets and alleys.

In the mist of the night, the moonlight and the lights complement each other, shining brightly from far and near.

Wei Xiang had a rare look of excitement on his face, and pointed into the distance.

"what is that?"

Li Yunsheng looked forward in the direction of her finger.

There, there are Aoshan Mountains piled up with lanterns, which is very spectacular.

It can be said to be one of the busiest places in the whole city.

At the foot of Mount Ao, many people watched.

"That's called Aoshan."

On both sides of the street, there are many acrobatics and performances, and there are many stalls with stalls, which is very lively.

The bustling city is noisy, and the lanterns are like daytime.

The lamp wheel, lamp tree, lamp tower and other exquisite shapes are ingenious.

Looking around, the white luan turns flowers, the yellow dragon spits water, the golden ghost, the silver swallow, the floating light cave, and the Zanxing pavilion are all lights.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is the Lantern Festival Lantern.

This kind of lantern has seven layers, each layer has seven lamps, like a wheel.

It is several feet high, wrapped with various silk brocades, and decorated with gold and silver, which is very spectacular and luxurious.

This is like a large square party, for boys and girls, it is simply a stage to show themselves.

The sons and daughters of rich and noble families, well-dressed and exquisitely made-up.

Ordinary people's children also put on their best clothes and dress up handsomely.

On the long street, there are crowds of people.

Pairs of boys and girls held hands tightly for fear of being squeezed apart.

There was shyness and sweetness on that face.

Under the moon, amidst the noisy crowd, Li Yunsheng suddenly remembered that sentence——

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was there, where the lights were dim.

Thinking of this, Li Yunsheng suddenly looked back.

On the Yuhe Bridge, the empress who was disguised as a man also happened to raise her head, her eyes met.

Then, the empress snorted coldly and turned her head to look at it.
