thank you + extra

Li Lin suddenly became embarrassed. Yu Gong was able to speak out and speak out, loyal to the country, and was completely sincere, while Yu was able to show the beauty of women in private, bright and charming, and slender.

She originally thought that it would not be enough to win with her youth.

Li Lin was immediately worried, thinking that it would be better to draw it slowly, and make plans after she learns more about His Majesty's preferences.But the king doesn't show his likes and dislikes to others, how long will it take for her to understand clearly, and when will she be able to confide her love to His Majesty?

Li Lin felt tormented, but imagined that day, she told His Majesty that she loved him, told her that she had admired His Majesty for many years, and had been trying to get closer to her, His Majesty would definitely show his expression, and she felt that she had to wait a little longer. It will be worth it too.

As soon as Li Lin left, Liu Zao ordered all the palace officials to retreat, leaving only her and Xie Yi.

There was no one in private, so Liu Zao didn't restrain himself, took Xie Yi to sit on the throne, and forced her to hug her, although Xie Yi felt that His Majesty was too out of shape, he still obeyed her.

"Do you have any plans?" Xie Yi asked.

Liu Zao felt aggrieved, and said in a muffled voice, "You know, you still want to accuse me of being a fool."

Xie Yi vaguely guessed something, but Liu Zao didn't say anything, so she couldn't help being anxious.She was already worried that her existence would become a stain on this person, and seeing that she had neglected political affairs since the two fell in love, Xie Yi was naturally afraid that she would spoil His Majesty.

"I'm just in a hurry." Xie Yi said in a low voice.

Liu Zao then smiled: "I dare to abandon political affairs because you are in the court. I haven't read the memorials for many days, but the court is still in order, and the people in the world are still in their positions. You are watching."

Xie Yi glanced at her, but didn't speak.

Liu Zao coaxed her: "If you work harder, after one month, the first batch of talented people will enter Beijing. Among them, there must be those who want to stand out, and they will advise me on good strategies, and there may be some refreshing ideas among them. If there is no policy, I will pretend to accept advice and trust them, and the ministers are already worried, so they will naturally become more anxious when they see this."

"You want to divide power?" Xie Yi said.

"It's not about decentralization, it's about consolidating power." Liu Zao had thought about it a long time ago, "I don't give power to talented people, but only a few dignified positions, so that they only have the way to advise, but not the right to act , can only cling to me tightly. I have them as advisers, so I don’t need the ministers to advise me, and the ministers are ignored, and they will please me if they are important. In this way, it becomes a competition between the two, and I can Gather power and say what you say."

She has a lot of power now, but if there is an edict, the ministers will follow it, but occasionally there is an edict that does not agree with the mind of the subordinates, they dare to delay or refuse, and ask her to take it back.

This is not what Liu Zao wants to see.

It's not that Xie Yi couldn't think of this move, she just didn't think Liu Zao would dare to do it.Whether you favor a talented person or neglect a courtier, there is a limit to it, and if there is a little bit of carelessness that causes a tilt, the consequences will be unimaginable.Ministers can't bear the coldness of the king and see no hope, so maybe they will have a heart, contact the princes, and find another position of power.Once a talented person gains power, they may not be willing to obediently be the sword in the hands of the emperor, they will have other thoughts.

Xie Yi naturally knew why His Majesty was in such a hurry to seize power, she sighed, and wanted to say that there was no need to be so anxious, she could afford to wait, even if she couldn't do it in front of her, she didn't mind if she only had to wait until after death.

But seeing Liu Zao's face that he was determined to win, no matter how much he worried, no matter how much he flinched, he couldn't express it.

"I usually summon you, but you don't come to see me. It's hard to hear that you came to see me, but you came to scold me." Liu Zao whispered dissatisfaction, "You are really bad."

Xie Yi felt a little distressed, and comforted her, "I will come here often in the future."

Satisfied, Liu Zao rubbed against her ear and said softly, "It's been a long time since we..."

Xie Yi immediately stiffened, with an unnatural expression on her face, and said coldly, "It's still daytime, what is Your Majesty thinking!"

No matter how strict she is, she can't hide her nervousness and shyness. Liu Zao knows how to push forward and chase after victory: "It doesn't matter, there is no one else, we will be here..." She said and looked around, Xuan Shidian is the place to meet foreign ministers , there is no bed.She glanced at the imperial case in front of her, her eyes lit up immediately, she swung her sleeves to brush aside the writing on the case, and said, "It's right here."

Chapter 95

Xuanshi hall is deep and wide, as large as three rooms.The doors and windows are closed tightly, and the light outside the hall casts a faint halo on the window screens. Because of the depth and spaciousness, the interior is dark and requires candlelight for lighting.

The lamps and candles in the Xuanshi Hall will not go out at twelve o'clock.

The imperial case is wide and long, with two ends upturned and four sides gilded.The writing and ink on the case were pushed aside, the surface of the case was smooth, reflecting the dim candlelight.

Xie Yi and Liu Zao lived together on the throne.Liu Zao's hand was still on Xie Yi's waist, and his eyes fell on the imperial case in front of him, his face full of interest.

Xie Yi asked, "Here?"

Liu Zao nodded again and again, she also knew that Mrs. Xie was very good, and probably would not agree, but she also sensed Mrs. Xie's soft heart, and she couldn't stand her begging, so she shook her arm and begged, "Is that okay?"

Xie Yi turned her face away, refusing to talk to her.

Liu Zao blinked, let go of his hand, turned to her, looked into her eyes, and said, "I miss you very much."

Xie Yi turned to the other side.Liu Zao looked at her icy face and red earlobes, and became more excited, then turned to her, and said: "It's quiet here, there is Hu Ao guarding outside the door, and no one is disturbing, I will be gentle... ...You, don't you miss me?"

Xie Yi's gaze turned to her, Liu Zao also looked at her, smiled, his eyes were crescent like crescents.Xie Yi's icy expression eased, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around Liu Zao's waist, pressed her face to her belly, and said frankly to her, "I miss you too, you are always in my heart." She paused , and said, "But here..."

Xie Yi's voice lowered slightly, ashamed to continue.

Liu Zao then understood that she didn't want to be here.Liu Zao lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and said softly, "I am frivolous."

Xie Yi shook her head and remained silent.Liu Zao only stroked her hair lightly, and also accompanied her quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Yi let go of her hand. She looked at the imperial case, her pen and ink were pushed away, and the long case was wide enough to accommodate a whole body.She suddenly thought, if she was a few years younger and the same age as Mengmeng, would she be able to let go and make her happy, instead of now, although she loves her and is happy with her, she is always calm and reserved, always He can't forget that this is the child she raised, and he always rules her, fearing that she will go astray, and not making her do anything out of the ordinary.

Right now it's good, but after a long time, will Mengmeng think that she is disobedient in everything, that she is dull and boring?

Seeing her looking at the case, Liu Zao remained silent for a long time, and asked cautiously, "Are you angry?"

Xie Yi came back to her senses, smiled with her, shook her head and said, "How could I be angry with you?" She thought about it again, stood up, and said, "Be good, I'll come back at night."

Liu Zao's eyes lit up, he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you obediently."

Xie Yi then left.

Xie Yi still had a lot of work to do, the prime minister would be too busy if the emperor didn't manage the politics.The moment she entered the palace, there were more documents on the case, and several ministers were waiting outside the door, all holding documents, to report the matter.

At the moment when Liu Zao was planning to make a change, she was not at ease about handing over important matters to others, and besides doing everything herself, she also thought about how many positions should be changed during this month.

The court has generally tended to be stable. The general Sun Ciqing has been demoted many times in the past few years, and has almost occupied only one vacant seat. Li Wenyuan wanted to be a good minister and then follow the emperor to take power. Partisans, but in general, still act towards the emperor.

Xie Yi couldn't help regretting that she had delegated power too early. At that time, she only wanted to let His Majesty stand on his own feet. She retired after a successful career and became a good minister like Li Wen. Who would have thought that there would be such a situation today.

But then again, if she doesn't let go of power, His Majesty has no power in his hands, so he will be more guarded against her, even if he wants to, I'm afraid he won't dare to confide in her.

Xie Yi has been busy until the sky is full of stars, and there are still most of the documents on the desk.

She stood up, rubbed the back of her neck, and walked into the forbidden area.

Liu Zao had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, and when she saw her figure appearing at the other end of the palace road, she hurried to meet her.Xie Yi couldn't see the slightest bit of fatigue on his face, he smiled with her and said, "How long has Your Majesty been waiting?"

She also carried a few rolls of bamboo slips in her hand, Liu Zao took them over without any hesitation, and said in her mouth, "It's not long, you haven't eaten yet? I ordered you to warm the millet rice, you have a taste."

The five grains are for nourishment, the five fruits are for the stomach, the five animals are for help, and the five vegetables are for filling.Milled rice is the first of the five grains, and it has the effect of nourishing qi.

After entering the palace, Liu Zao ordered the palace servants to bring the millet rice dumplings along with a lot of dishes. The dishes were delicate and rich.

The millet itself is rough, I don't know what method the palace chef used to prepare it, Xie Yi took a sip, only to find that the taste is soft, sweet and refreshing, which suits her taste very well.
