Overwhelming mountains and rivers

Chu Xuanzhao didn't speak, but walked to the door of the cell and gave a high five to the end of the corridor.

Chu Xuanqing looked towards the end, and saw a figure stepping out of the darkness step by step. When he finally walked into the light, he found that the man was wearing a cloak with a hood, and the long hood covered his eyes. Most of his face was covered.

The man walked over slowly, and Chu Xuanqing realized that it was a woman, because the shoes exposed under the cloak were women's embroidered bow shoes.

The visitor turned to Chu Xuanzhao, "Brother."

Chu Xuanqing frowned, brother?Her name is Brother Chu Xuanzhao?Ordinarily, Chu Xuanzhao's younger sister should also be his younger sister, but Yu Xuan died of illness and Yu Xian married far away... Could it be Chu Xuanzhao's adopted sister?But if that's the case, why did this person come to see me?

The woman turned around, lowered her head, only a part of her chin could be seen faintly under the hood, she said to Chu Xuanqing, "I'll come and see you."

Chu Xuanqing's pupils shrank, this voice!

Chu Xuanqing suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the railing, "Who is it?! Who are you?"

"The dead."

Chu Xuanqing took a few quick breaths before calming down, "Yuxuan, is that you? Is it you? Are you still alive?"

The woman paused, then said softly, "I'm not Yuxuan, I'm Qingluan."

Yuxuan is dead, and there will be only Qingluan in the future.

Chu Xuanqing sighed, "Yuxuan, oh, Qingluan, I don't know why you faked your death. I admit that I do have my own selfishness in your marriage. However, Gergis is also a good person. At that time, I Let me ask you, don't you also have a good impression? You also said that you are a man of talent and beauty, why did you make it like this today?"

Qingluan said calmly, "It's all over. What you didn't understand before, you still don't understand now, and I'm afraid you won't have the chance to understand it in the future."

Chu Xuanqing sighed heavily again, "Maybe. Anyway, thank you for still coming to see me."

Qingluan never took off her hood from the beginning to the end, and left as quietly as when she came.

Seeing that she had gone far away, Chu Xuanzhao sighed, and said to Chu Xuanqing, "You should be glad that she chose to feign death."

Chu Xuanqing looked up, "What do you mean?"

Chu Xuanzhao looked a little disappointed, "You probably don't know, Princess Jiazhen, and her husband Gergis, at that time for some reason, I sent people to follow, just after leaving Hanling Pass, Princess Jiazhen was brutally murdered by Gergis. The Gergis you see is not the real Gergis at all, if Yuxuan is married, even if you don’t die today, you will definitely blame yourself for the rest of your life.”

Now that the overall situation of Dayuan has been decided, Chu Xuanzhao does not intend to hide the matter of Princess Jiazhen anymore. Sooner or later, she will be buried as a princess with honor.

Chu Xuanqing's chest heaved violently twice, "...What did you say?"

Chu Xuanzhao hung the chain back on the prison door, "You plot against others yourself, but you never thought of being plotted against, right? The eagle-beater was pecked in the eye by the eagle. There are some things that must be paid back sooner or later."

Just like you killed Mo Yi, I will eventually kill you too.

Chu Xuanqing grabbed the chain and shouted at him, "Chu Xuanzhao, I can calculate, it's my skill! You can't learn it! Do you think that everything will be fine if you become the emperor? I curse you to cut off your family and make your country turbulent , I curse you to be hopeless in the country and in the family!!"

Chu Xuanzhao was walking in the corridor, his boots stepped on the ground, the sound echoed, and he didn't turn his head back, "Thank you for such a thoughtful curse!"

When the country was in turmoil, he was able to rectify the country and bring Da Yuan back to life.

As for cutting off children and grandchildren, heh, he loves Shen Qingjun, so of course he wants to cut off children and grandchildren.

Besides, I know that I will end my children and grandchildren, and you will definitely end my children and grandchildren, and I know it too.

…………

The Zi Palace of the first emperor was placed in the Xingqing Hall, and the Ministry of Rites ordered people to urgently renovate the Ziyang Hall next to the Xinqing Hall, and renamed it "Zhaohua Hall" as a place for the new emperor to work and rest.

It still takes time to renovate, and when the Ministry of Rites was overwhelmed by this, the new emperor issued an order to stay in Prince Xin's Mansion temporarily before the enthronement ceremony, and the plaque was temporarily replaced with "Shengxing Mansion".Although some stubborn veterans objected, saying that Yu Li was not in line with the etiquette, they were still suppressed by the new emperor, and the matter was decided in court.

…………

There was a knock on the door of Yazhuxuan, but Shen Qingjun didn't lift his head, "Please come in."

Chu Xuanzhao walked in with a tray, and there were teapots and cups on the tray.

Shen Qingjun couldn't help smiling, "You're back, His Majesty the Emperor?"

Chu Xuanzhao sat down, took the things out of the tray, and said with a smile, "Don't make fun of me! His Majesty the Emperor is serving you tea, what should you be? Empress Empress?"

Shen Qingjun's face turned cold instantly, "Oh, I never heard of any emperor who would serve tea for the queen, and which emperor would marry a man to be the queen!"

Chu Xuanzhao rubbed his chin, "Mr. Moyuan knows both the past and the present, and knows both literature and martial arts. Could it be that he doesn't know about Chen Wendi and Han Zigao? Chen Wendi can make Han Zigao his male queen, why should I—"

Shen Qingjun stood up, his expression was already very ugly, "You would like to be Emperor Chen Wen, but I don't want to be Han Zigao who died innocently and tragically!!"

Chu Xuanzhao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He also remembered that Han Zigao's ending did not seem to be so good. He hurriedly stood up, "It was my slip of the tongue, it was my slip of the tongue, I apologize to you."

Shen Qingjun sneered coldly, "Your Majesty will kill the grassroots."

Chu Xuanzhao looked at his unexpected expression, and didn't know which tendon was wrong. He grabbed his wrist and was about to pull him over, but when Shen Qingjun turned his head, his expression was gloomy at that moment. With the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes, he froze in place.

When Chu Xuanzhao reacted, Shen Qingjun had disappeared.

Chu Xuanzhao hurriedly chased out Yazhuxuan, but Shen Qingjun was nowhere to be seen.Feng Erli was not far away, seeing him looking around, he trotted over quickly, "Your Majesty?"

Chu Xuanzhao asked anxiously, "Did you see where he went?"

Feng Er was stunned, "Who? Who went where?"

Chu Xuanzhao hung his arms weakly, "Shen Qingjun."

"...The subordinate didn't see anyone going out, so isn't the young master in the house?" Feng Er was a little puzzled. He knew that Mr. Mo Yuan's martial arts were good, but he stayed not far away. Maybe not even a shadow?

Chu Xuanzhao smiled wryly, "...you go down."

Behind him, on the roof, Shen Qingjun tightly pursed his lips.

He was angry not because Chu Xuanzhao said the wrong thing, but because of what Chu Xuanzhao said. Instead of being angry, he felt his face burning slightly.

He could only cover up his face with anger, rather than being angry with Chu Xuanzhao, it would be better to say that he was angry with himself, angry that he was powerless against his emotions.

Shen Qingjun regained his senses and raised his head, but immediately stepped back in shock. Chu Xuanzhao stood in front of him at some point, staring at him silently.

He was caught by Chu Xuanzhao, so he didn't stumble and fall. Chu Xuanzhao didn't say much before, rubbing his hands, "Qingjun, it's cold, what are you doing on the roof? Your ears are freezing It's red. Come down with me?"

In fact, as soon as he finished asking Feng Er, he sensed that Shen Qingjun's aura was nearby, turned around and looked up, and saw Shen Qingjun with his ears down and his head in a trance.

Of course, he didn't think that Shen Qingjun's ears were red because of the heat on his face, but that he was blown by the cold wind on the roof.

Shen Qingjun took his hand out of his hand, and gently touched the tips of his hot ears, "I'll go down by myself."

Chu Xuanzhao let go of his hand, "Okay."

As soon as the two of them jumped off the roof, Feng Er ran over, "Your Majesty, the prime minister is here to visit, and he said that he wants to meet His Majesty face to face. Please resign."

Chu Xuanzhao frowned, "Please resign? You go and let him in."

"Yes."

Chu Xuanzhao turned his head to look at Shen Qingjun, "Qingjun, do you want to meet him?"

Shen Qingjun shook his head, "I can't. If you want to take it, take it, if you want it, then let it go. There are some things that cannot be forced."

Based on his judgment of Li Weizhen, since he resigned, he is afraid that he is really determined to resign.

Li Weizhen was the late emperor's companion. Although the two of them did not understand and trust each other as well as they did when they were young, after all, he was the late emperor's prime minister for decades. He was the emperor and a courtier. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he took the initiative to resign. Plant it to the first emperor, and give yourself an explanation.

He was able to take the lead in expressing support when Chu Xuanzhao announced his succession. It is probably his best effort for Dayuan's inheritance and smoothness.

Chu Xuanzhao nodded, "I understand. It's just that once the prime minister leaves, no one will be able to easily take up this position..."

Shen Qingjun's eyes flashed, and the meaning was unclear, "Li Shangnuo is also surnamed Li, right? He and the prime minister are very destined, but I don't know how deep this fate can be..., and Li Shangnuo will be in charge of the ceremony to congratulate him. Isn't the Minister of Honglu Temple, who has responded to the matter, a bit out of his talent?"

Chu Xuanzhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Well, that's right, resigning doesn't mean that you can have nothing to do with the court at all, just bring someone or something..."

The two smiled at each other.

…………

"The old minister sees His Majesty."

As soon as Li Weizhen came in, he kowtowed.

This time was different from the last visit to the prime minister's mansion, Chu Xuanzhao did not refuse, and only after accepting this gift, he stretched out his hand to help him up, "Prime Minister, please sit down."

"The old minister dare not."

Chu Xuanzhao smiled, walked around and sat down behind the table, and then waved his hands, "This is not a court hall, the prime minister does not need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing Chu Xuanzhao sit down, the Prime Minister also sat down.

"The servant came to report that the prime minister is here, is he going to resign?"

Li Weizhen listened to his question and was about to get up again. Seeing that Chu Xuanzhao raised his hand to signal him not to use it, he sat down and said, "Return to Your Majesty, that's right. The old minister is already over sixty years old, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take the important position of prime minister. How can he be a vegetarian? Occupying an official position? I have the courage to implore your majesty to remember that the minister is old, and the prospective minister begs for the bones to return home."

Chu Xuanzhao frowned, "If I remember correctly, the prime minister is six years old, and he will be fifty and seven this year, so he shouldn't have reached his sixtieth birthday, right?"

Li Weizhen was startled, and stood up from his chair, "I dare not deceive the emperor, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. The old minister has only reached his sixtieth birthday for three years. However, the old minister occasionally suffers from ailments, so it is really not suitable for him to continue to serve."

Chu Xuanzhao waved his hand, "Prime Minister, please sit down. I don't want to blame the Prime Minister. It's just that the dynasties are changing now, and it's time to employ people. Besides, there is Tuojia in the north, and Gele in the west. It's also difficult!"

Li Weizhen frowned, and he was also worried, but there was nothing he could do, and he had to give the late Emperor an explanation.

Chu Xuanzhao glanced at Li Weizhen's face, saw that he was worried, raised his eyebrows secretly, and then said, "I don't know the prime minister, what do you think of Li Shangnuo and Li Siqing?"

Li Weizhen didn't know why he suddenly changed the subject, so he had to tell the truth, "Li Siqing is a rare and good official with extraordinary talents, modest and dedicated to serving the country and the people."

Chu Xuanzhao stroked the table under his hand, and sighed, "Speaking of which, Li Shangnuo is also surnamed Li, and he has the same temperament as the prime minister. In my opinion, he looks like a father and son. Alas, what a pity , Li Siqing was lonely and helpless since he was a child, if he could have a father like the prime minister to teach him, he would achieve even more success today!"

Li Weizhen nodded, "Li Siqing is indeed a talent to make, if, if..."

Chu Xuanzhao raised his eyebrows, "If what?"

Li Weizhen chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just the old minister's delusion."

Chu Xuanzhao narrowed his eyes, "Oh... I have a suggestion, I wonder if the Prime Minister is willing to listen?"

"The old minister is all ears."

"I agree with the prime minister's return to the field. However, I have a condition. The prime minister is a native of the capital. In this case, it is better to accept Li Siqing as a adopted son. I have nothing to do. Of course, this matter does not matter. Don't force it, it depends on the prime minister's intention."

After Li Weizhen heard this, his face was filled with joy and he was very excited. He stood up and bowed to Chu Xuanzhao, "Old minister, thank you for your majesty's kindness! It is the honor of this old minister to accept someone like Li Siqing as a foster son, old minister." You can't ask for it! Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely do his best."

Chu Xuanzhao got up and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good."

Seeing him get up, Li Weizhen knew that the matter had been settled, so he bowed and saluted, "The old minister will leave."

…………

When Li Weizhen left, Chu Xuanzhao hurried back to Yazhuxuan.

"How?" Shen Qingjun asked.

Chu Xuanzhao sat down and took a sip of tea, "I allowed him to resign, but I gave him Li Shangnuo to be his adopted son. Now, there is a big problem."

Shen Qingjun was puzzled, "What's the problem?"

Chu Xuanzhao was a little embarrassed, "We didn't tell Li Shangnuo about this in advance, so we just gave him up to be our son, it's not very natural!"

"..."

He knew that Li Shangnuo would definitely accept it, because before Li Shangnuo mentioned Prime Minister Li Weizhen, he had a respectful face, and he once said that he would learn from the prime minister.It's just that, after all, I didn't ask what people mean..., there are multiple fathers for no reason, tsk~
