The Prince and the Demon Monk [Rebirth]

It wasn't until Liang Cheng's figure completely disappeared from the main hall that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty began to talk about it. Yi Nian, as a national teacher, was given to attend the court to discuss politics, independent of the left hand side below the throne, which is the place closest to Liang Cheng.

He withdrew his eyes following Liang Cheng's back, turned his head seemingly casually, but met Li Duqiu's probing eyes, and just now when Liang Cheng said his will, he realized that Li Duqiu was falling on him. body gaze.

It seems that Li Duqiu thought it was his idea, and a soft wave swayed in his heart. Thinking that Liang Cheng did this for himself, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Li Duqiu looked like this. In Qiu's eyes, it seemed to be a kind of acknowledgment, so Li Duqiu nodded, then turned and left the hall, and some courtiers who planned to inquire about Li Duqiu's news also walked out.

At this time, several people surrounded Yi Nian, and they opened their mouths to probe: "I don't know when Your Majesty came up with this idea. We have never heard of such a big event before. The national teacher is deeply trusted by His Majesty." , accompanied by the driver, it can be seen that His Majesty is..."

With an inscrutable look in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly without a trace, and he clasped his palms together and said: "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I, my servants, must obey the holy order."

"This..." Those people looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them said unwillingly: "It's about the heirs of the Tian family, Daqi Sheji, how can it be such a joke?"

Yi Nian raised his eyelids, and glanced at the speaker indifferently. The other party was Yu Shi Zhongcheng Wen Kuang, whose eldest granddaughter had just reached the age of Ji, and was at a good age to enter the palace.

"Wen Yushi's words are wrong. Your Majesty has been respectful, thrifty, benevolent, humble and prudent since he was a child. This order must have been carefully thought out. How could he treat the world as a trifling matter?"

In the last sentence, Yi Nian spoke slowly and slowly, with a casual tone in his tone, but Wen Yushi suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't explain why, so he thought it was a guilty conscience.

Seeing that Yi Nian was invulnerable here, everyone looked at Shi Shangshu again. This man is upright and values ​​etiquette and rules the most. Everyone thought that he would stand up against Liang Cheng, but the other party said nothing from now on. Holding the jade wat, he lowered his head and meditated.

"Shi Shangshu, look at this..."

Shi Guangyuan stroked his white beard and said, "Wait for the old man to see His Majesty."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after the court was over, Liang Cheng returned to Qinzheng Hall, and before he had a few sips of tea, the guard sent Shi Shangshu to see him.

Liang Cheng was not surprised, after Shi Shangshu saluted, he ordered the attendant to watch over the seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." Shi Shangshu thanked him neither humble nor overbearing, he sat down slowly, his back naturally straightened, it was the old pine that had a strong joint.

"The teacher came here to abolish the concubine system?"

"Your Majesty is wise," Shi Shangshu leaned forward, and said, "The harem's interference is serious, and now the people in the court are fluctuating. Please think twice about this matter."

Liang Cheng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that Shi Shangshu was not very resistant to his intention of violating etiquette this morning.

"Nowadays, things are scarce and the people are struggling. It is time to increase income and reduce expenditure. Once the concubine system is abolished, the palace can reduce a lot of expenses. Next month, all places will send good girls and boys to the palace, and they can also cut them off at once. It is the time of summer harvest, so it is better to alleviate the hardship of the common people."

"Your Majesty is benevolent," Shi Shangshu's eyes showed a hint of admiration. He failed to persuade Liang Cheng to become a monk at the Daxiangguo Temple, and he fell into a heart disease. The prince he taught himself is benevolent and virtuous. Mingjun turned out to be a monk in public. If he hadn't been steadfast, he would have vomited blood and fell to the ground, bedridden.

Fortunately, people are back again...

In fact, when Shi Shangshu first heard that Liang Cheng wanted to abolish the concubine system, the word "absurd" popped into his mind, but after he thought about it carefully, he felt that this was a good way. No one hates it more deeply than him. After all, Shi Shangshu has gone through three dynasties and witnessed Emperor Xi being obsessed with women and neglecting the government. His Majesty Yu and King Rong are really too thin."

Liang Cheng: "Teacher, don't worry too much. I am only a weak crown, and King Rong is only ten years old. This matter is not urgent. Besides, once the decree comes out, the queen will not be so easy to choose."

A flash of understanding flashed across Shi Shangshu's face. After all, once a queen is born in the clan, there will be no real shortage within the three clothes. For some nobles of the clan, the gain outweighs the loss.

The two discussed the matter again, and Shi Shangshu bowed and retreated after receiving Liang Cheng's order.

"I didn't expect that your teacher is not a pedantic person."

The corner of the cloud white robe floated out from behind the screen, Yi Nian walked up to Liang Cheng, hugged him into his arms, lightly touched the ear tips of the person in his arms with his lips, and said in a low voice: "Junior brother, my heart So happy."

Liang Cheng was also deeply affected, his eyes were full of tenderness, but thinking of the worries in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"What's the matter, Junior Brother?"

"Senior brother," Liang Cheng held the palm of Yi Nian's shoulder and said, "Senior brother, are you really willing to adopt an abandoned baby and raise him as a prince?"

Yi Nian paused slightly for the kiss, and said: "I originally considered Rong Wang's heir, but he is still young, at least he has to wait for seven or eight years, and I am afraid that the court and Xiu Shuxin will not be able to delay that long, why? The current strategy is to find a suitable time, never to pick an abandoned baby with good bones from the Shige and bring it into the palace, but to say that the mother is a commoner woman, her status is not suitable for the palace, and she died of dystocia and blood collapse in the end."

"That's the only way to go." Liang Cheng lowered his eyelashes, subconsciously caressed his abdomen with one hand, as if thinking of something, his fingers trembled slightly, and moved away again.

Yi Nian naturally noticed this movement, he grabbed Liang Cheng's hand, even in the dog days, the fingertips of the other party felt a little cool, but the palm was very hot, it was a symptom of body cold and fire, he would be slightly cold He clenched his fingertips into his palm and said, "Don't think too much, everything is mine."

"Yes, I know." Liang Cheng turned his head and kissed Yi Nian's lips.

It was rare for this person to take the initiative, how could he let it go, he put his arms around Liang Cheng's waist and pressed him into his arms until there was no gap between the two of them.

Liang Cheng originally just touched Yi Nian with his lips, but he didn't expect that his lips would be pried open the next moment. Yi Nian's tongue squeezed into the tip of his teeth, swept across his tongue, and then slid across his palate, causing a burst of screams. The torrent of human tremors flowed through the limbs and bones, and rushed down.

"Hmm..." A trace of transparent liquid overflowed from the corner of Liang Cheng's mouth. His hands rested weakly on Yi Nian's shoulders, and gradually began to wrap their arms around each other's neck. The emperor's uniforms overlapped and spread out like plums falling into the snow.

……

Shi Guangyuan moved very quickly. Apart from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he was still in charge of drafting the imperial edict. After being banned, Liang Cheng promoted Wen Yao, who used to be the official official of the Prince's Mansion. Fang Wenyao was born in a family in the south of the Lingnan family. He had made many famous ministers in the past three generations. , It wasn't until Fang Wenyao's generation that he recovered a little.

In his previous life, after Liang Cheng was banned, even though he didn't get into trouble, he quickly withdrew. However, Liang Cheng still decided to use him, partly because this person was talented, and more importantly, because Fang Wenyao was ambitious and single-minded. It is most appropriate to cheer up the Fang family and rejoin the ranks of the high gates of the Eastern Capital. It is most appropriate to use him to mobilize the original forces in Beijing, especially the line of the late Empress Dowager Zhao, and the family that followed Ming Yuan Emperor to bring down King Teng.

The decree was quickly sent to various places through the post station. The common people didn't care how many wives the emperor would marry, but it was a great joy to not have to be separated this summer. Liang Cheng's reputation was already good, and now it is even more prosperous.

Such great news naturally spread to the Yanhe Palace. Liang Ji had just saluted before someone rushed to report it. Liang Cheng abolished the concubine system regardless of the objections of the officials.

Liang Ji's face darkened on the spot, his elder brother even abolished the harem because of that monstrous monk!

He turned his head to look at Empress Li, but he saw that Empress Li's reaction was very flat. The fingers that used to wear gorgeous fingertips in the palace were empty at this time. She casually put the imperial decree on the case, calmly Said: "Your Majesty loves the people, and Aijia is very pleased. You can go back and return to your life."

"Resignation." As soon as the guard left, Liang Ji got up and walked to the Empress Dowager, and said anxiously: "Mother, don't you want to say something?"

"What did you say?" Empress Li knew Liang Cheng's physical condition in her heart, and she only thought that Liang Cheng's move was to protect the secret, but she understood, but she was a little strange about Liang Ji's attitude. Her youngest son followed her, thinking deeply, little I don't know why the reaction is so violent this time, even if I can keep my face at such a young age.

Liang Ji clenched his hands into fists hidden in his wide sleeves. He forced himself to calm down and said, "How can this harem be abolished as soon as it is said? Royal heirs are at stake in the country. How can the queen mother let the emperor be so nonsense?"

Empress Li didn't believe a word of this set of arguments. She raised her eyelids, stared into Liang Ji's eyes, and said, "You are not a child of an ordinary family. You still need to know what you should know. In your brother's life, I'm afraid There is no destiny for an heir, and after a hundred years, this country will still be passed on to you, and your brother loves you, so don't you have a different heart."

These words were nothing more than a shocking secret. Liang Ji stood up suddenly, looked at Queen Li in disbelief, and exclaimed in a low voice, "What did you say, Queen Mother? Brother... how could... have no heirs!"

Empress Li's expression was still calm, "Your brother was born as a hermaphrodite. When he was ten years old, I secretly asked someone to diagnose him. The doctor asserted that his Yin is strong and Yang is weak. Even when he grows up, he can't make a woman pregnant."

Empress Li didn't know that the reason why Liang Cheng behaved like this was also because of the cold poison of Emperor Ming Yuan.

However, because Liang Cheng could not leave any heirs, she was so cruel back then and decided to end Liang Cheng's life by herself. Who would have thought that this child, whom she regarded as a weak point, would now become the emperor.

Liang Ji lowered his head, his eyelashes cast a shadow, and he slowly clenched his fists. If this was the case, then he couldn't watch his brother be bewitched by a single thought. In the end, he watched his elder brother pass the throne to him willingly. There was a bloody feud between them!

"Mother," Liang Ji raised his head, his eyes were dark, he looked at Empress Li, and said solemnly, "I have something to tell you."
