Taiping Xun'an

In a dungeon.

"It's okay." He said, he still remembered what happened last night, especially what he said.

No longer looking at Ye Bai and looking around carefully, Xia Yangzheng wondered what was going on, whether Du Fang and the others had found out.

"Your Highness." A familiar voice came from the darkness.

"Thirteen?" Xia Yangzheng was surprised to see Thirteen kneeling outside the prison.

"I have left a secret message for Fourteen to report to General Jiang, and he will be here soon."

"How long will it take?"

"About an hour."

"Catch me but don't kill me. I want to see what they are going to do! Thirteen, keep hiding and don't come out without my order!" Hearing footsteps, Xia Yangzheng hurriedly asked Thirteen to hide.

"Yes."

It was a girl in sackcloth who looked a little jealous.

"Who is Xia Yangzheng?" the woman asked. Xia and Ye were not much different in appearance, food and clothing. The assassins who arrested him didn't know who the prince was, so they arrested both of them.

"I am." Xia Yangzheng and Ye Bai replied in unison, Xia Yangzheng looked at Ye Bai in surprise.

The woman looked suspiciously between the two of them, Ye Bai said: "I have a Yunlong jade pendant in my sleeve, and a Chinese character is engraved on the back, this is a token to prove my identity, if you don't believe me, you can take it out and have a look."

"Hey, you think it's good to say you're the prince?" the woman sneered.Regardless of the etiquette of not kissing between men and women, he directly reached into Ye Bai's sleeve and took out the jade pendant to look at.When Xia Yangzheng heard Ye Bai's words, he felt very unhappy.

Ye Bai, Ye Bai, why do you always treat me so indifferently, and when I start to like another person, you come to treat me well and sacrifice for me?Why are you hurting me like this?Do you think I will still be shaken by you?

"In that case, please take this medicine, Your Highness!" The woman took out a porcelain bottle and poured out a red pill.

At this moment, Xia Yangzheng suddenly took a step forward, knocked the porcelain bottle in the woman's hand to the ground, and quickly crushed the red pills with his feet.

"You! You are a loyal dog!" The woman was only angry for a while, then smiled and took out a big golden brown pill, stuffed it into Ye Bai's mouth and slapped him hard on the chest, The pill stuck between Ye Baihou's mouth was swallowed.Thirteen was too fast to stop it.

"Cough, cough..." Ye Bai was so choked that his eyes turned red.

"Although the poison takes place slowly, it cannot be cured no matter what! Hahahaha..."

"Thirteen, capture her alive!" Xia Yangzheng watched Ye Bai being forced to swallow the dick, his heart was in a mess.

With a sound of "Da!", the woman was touched several acupuncture points by Thirteen who suddenly appeared.

"Who are you? Did Xia Yangsheng send you here?" Xia Yangzheng asked.

"Bah! You beg me, I can't be in cahoots with you!" The woman scolded fiercely.

"Girl, you have to die knowingly. If you die so vaguely, wouldn't it be a waste of your painstaking efforts to arrest us?" Ye Bai said lightly.

"Hmph! I'll just die!" The woman sneered and said, "Do you still remember the case of Chen Jinshui ten years ago?"

Xia Yangzheng looked at Ye Bai, trying to get some inspiration from it, but Ye Bai shook his head to express his ignorance.

"Hmph, I don't think you will remember. You people in the court can't even remember, why do you want to meddle in our Jianghu affairs!" The woman scolded when she saw this.

"I will always remember the day when my brother was executed. The blade cut off his flesh piece by piece..." Speaking of this, the woman looked at Ye Bai with resentment and said, "That day I swore that I would kill your royal family!" People in the world also have a taste of this! After your former prince was captured by me, I wanted to cut him into pieces, but I didn't have time to cut him and he was rescued!" The woman changed her tone and laughed Get up, "However, he is still dead, haha, that's me! I fed him □□ in advance, the □□ you ate just now! There is no cure! Hahahaha! There is no cure!" Then He stared at Ye Bai bitterly and sneered, "I just wish I could cut you off!"

Xia Yangzheng was so angry at her laughter that he couldn't control it. He drew the saber that had passed Shisan and cut off the woman's life.Throwing the sword on the ground, he said, "Thirteen, go outside to see if General Jiang is here."

"Yes."

Chapter 23

"This poison can be cured." Ye Bai suddenly said softly.

Xia Yangzheng frowned slightly when he heard the words, and looked at Ye Bai.

"Really? But my brother..." Xia Yangzheng felt that Ye Bai was lying to him.

"Really." Ye Bai said calmly, "Jingxuan had seen the symptoms of His Majesty at the beginning, and it was similar to a kind of dove poison in the Western Regions. I told him to suppress it."

Xia Yangzheng suddenly felt that Ye Bai was the same person as his two brothers who wanted to put him to death, and his heart suddenly turned cold, so he said: "It's good if you can understand it."

It didn't take long for General Jiang to arrive and clean up those assassins, they were indeed some prodigal sons.After bringing Xia Yangzheng and others back to the barracks, it was only a few hours before they marched towards the Imperial City in Beijing, and everyone went to tidy up and rest.

The next day, after lecturing to encourage morale amidst the buzzing military flags, Xia Yangzheng turned his head and looked at Du Fang who was also riding a horse beside him. Xia Yangzheng couldn't help being a little disappointed.Then he turned his head to look at the camp tent behind him, his eyes flickered, as if he was saying something.Er Er shouted to the soldiers: "Let's go!" He galloped forward without looking back.

As soon as Xia Yangzheng left, He Fangming arrived on the back.Just got the news that Xia Yangzheng had arrived in the suburbs of Beijing. He Fangming, who came from his home in the suburbs of Beijing, heard about Xia Yangzheng and Ye Bai's kidnapping as soon as he arrived at the barracks, and he also felt that it was dangerous.

"How?" He Fangming asked anxiously, "Can you prepare an antidote?"

"The drug in Huafu is 'Ji Mu', which is the same poison as the former prince. This drug came from the Western Regions, and there is no one in our country who can cure it."

"Is that certain death?" He Fangming was so anxious that he couldn't be more anxious.

"You can send someone to the Western Regions to look for it." Li Mochun was silent for a while.

Ye Bai listened from the side, feeling that it was expected, and there was a little bit of regret, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"How much time do I have?"

"This kind of medicine is very slow in onset, and slowly erodes the internal organs of the human body. It will take three to five years before the poison occurs. Once the poison occurs, it will be the time of death."

"Then we still have time to find the antidote!" He Fangming couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

"Jingxuan, I beg you." Ye Bai suddenly said solemnly.

"You said."

"As for my poisoning, let me say that the poison has been cured, and I only need to cultivate for a few days."

"Why?"

"This is good for everyone." He Fangming took the words seriously.

Li Mochun took a deep look at Ye Bai and said, "All right."

"Thank you!"

Knowing that Ye Bai's poison had been cured, Xia Yangzheng felt relieved - he was not owed anything.This is the first time that the relationship between the two has formed such a state. Even though the two get along peacefully, they no longer know each other like they used to. It seems that they are separated by a mountain, very strange.

Xia Yangzheng and General Jiang's 15 troops joined forces with Wan Yuhou's 20 troops to connect with the [-] guards in Beijing to attack Xia Yangsheng's [-] rebels, and finally won at sunset on the seventh day.

Xia Yang Dongming stood on the tall building in the imperial palace in the capital, watching the victory scene of Xia Yangzheng entering the city from afar.His eyes are deep, with undercurrents surging, like gilt shimmering in the setting sun.

The battle to put down the rebellion of the fourth prince Xia Yangsheng made Xia Yangzheng win the hearts of the people. Xia Yangdongming gave Xia Yangzheng many treasures, many awards in front of the officials, and a lot more power to Xia Yangzheng.

So much so that Xia Yangzheng has not had time to meet his party members for a while.

But Xia Yang Dongming had a different experience.It was a good time in summer, Xia Yang Dongming called Ye Bai into the palace.

"Why don't you come to the palace to compile ancient music?"

"Recently, I have been ill, so I don't want to be lazy. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" Ye Bai said.

"There is no need to be so cautious, I don't seem to have seen you smile. Is it so scary?"

"Your Majesty is majestic, and the grassroots dare not be presumptuous."

"You, you just don't know how to adapt to etiquette!"

Ye Bai was secretly startled.

"I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you."

"The villain is just a common man, how dare he discuss matters with His Majesty!" Ye Bai respectfully knelt down.

"Zheng'er quelled the civil strife, which is enough to prove his ability. I don't want to be the emperor, so why don't I take the throne with him." Xia Yang Dongming ignored Ye Bai's excuse.

"Think twice now."

"Huafu, I want to find Shuxiang." Xia Yang Dongming looked sideways at Ye Bai, who was kneeling, and Ye Bai, who was bowing his head, couldn't see the mixed things in his eyes.

"It's absolutely impossible today!"

"But I don't want to part with you, I want to take you along." Xia Yang Dongming walked to Ye Bai's side at some point, and supported Ye Bai with his hands.

"Today..." Ye Bai was shocked by Xia Yang Dongming's gaze and was speechless.

"I don't want to do anything to you, you drink the wine yourself." Xia Yang Dongming was smiling, but Ye Bai couldn't understand Xia Yang Dongming's smile and complicated gaze.

Xia Yang Dongming watched Ye Bai take the wine glass silently, and saw him quietly looking at the wine in the glass, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Now, please think twice!"

"drink!"

Ye Bai looked at the Jiujiu on the table and hesitated.

Everything in Beijing returned to calm, and the days returned to the past.It's just that without the concubine mother, there is no need to greet the concubine mother and the queen every day.He never saw Ye Bai again.But hearing that his father Xia Yang Dongming would announce to see Ye Bai every few days made Xia Yangzheng a little puzzled.

Today, when he heard that his father summoned Ye Bai again, Xia Yangzheng finally couldn't bear to find someone to ask.

"Why did the emperor summon Ye Bai today?" Xia Yangzheng asked the servant brought by Zhou Xiaofu.

"Your Highness doesn't know. Before the fourth prince forced the palace, His Majesty called Mr. Ye into the palace every day to appreciate music theory."

"There is such a thing? Tell me in detail."

"Your Highness, Your Highness! It's not good!" The servant was about to speak when he was interrupted by the sound of an announcement from outside the palace.

"Why are you in such a panic?" Xia Yangzheng was a little displeased.

"Young Master Ye is in His Majesty's bedroom. The palace servants outside the palace gate heard the sound of things collapsing and smashing in the palace not long ago..." Before the little eunuch finished speaking, Xia Yangzheng had already gone to Suiying Palace up.

Walking outside the Suiying Hall, Xia Yangzheng hurriedly opened the door when he heard the sound of falling objects in the hall, and saw his father waving a sword at Ye Bai.

"Father!" Xia Yangzheng shouted.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Yang Dongming didn't move the sword pointing at Ye Bai.

"What is the father doing?"

"Listen well, I want him to be buried for me..." Xia Yang Dongming collapsed on his stomach as soon as he finished speaking, his face looked pained and miserable, and he even twitched a little, and he died not long after.

Xia Yangzheng was shocked when he saw his father's death.

"What's going on?" Xia Yangzheng turned his head and asked Ye Bai, "Is it you?"

"No." Ye Bai was particularly shocked, it turned out that His Majesty had already drunk the poisoned wine.

The people who arrived later saw such a scene as if the sky had collapsed, the Holy One had passed away!Seeing that Ye Bai was there, they thought it was Ye Bai who assassinated Imakami.

"If someone talks about Zhulian Nine Clans in today's matter!" Xia Yangzheng didn't know what was going on, but he had to keep his mouth shut first. "It is said that the emperor died due to grief, depression and excessive physical decline."

"Yes!" Zhou Xiaofu immediately sent an order outside.

There was a great funeral all over the world.

In the future, Ye Bai would feel chills when thinking about what happened today, the love of the Tian family is the most terrible thing in the world.If you say you change your face, you will change your face. Xia Yangzheng is like this, and so is Xia Yang Dongming.Fortunately, he only stepped on the boundary a little bit, and didn't step into this vortex.

The coronation of Xia Yangzheng was presided over by Wan Yuhou.The night before the coronation, Xia Yangzheng couldn't sleep and asked Du Fang to accompany him.

In the Huaying Hall, Xia Yangzheng was a little uneasy: "Du Fang, I will be the emperor from tomorrow."

"The lowly position knows." Du Fang made a rare salute to Xia Yangzheng.

Xia Yangzheng wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say to Du Fang?Besides, can Du Fang understand?I want to be a prince, so that one day I can sit on the throne of God and rule the world.What is the purpose of King's Landing?In order to allow himself and his mother to live wantonly in the palace.But what about now?Although Xia Yangzheng was very excited, he felt that something was missing.

"Do you want to pass Mr. Ye into the palace?" Zhou Xiaofu asked cautiously.

Chapter 24

For more than a month, people around Xia Yangzheng have been jealous of Ye Bai, and Xia Yangzheng never mentioned it.Xia Yangzheng didn't investigate the matter of the first emperor Xia Yang Dongming, and only said that the late emperor died of excessive grief and alcoholism.Let Ye Bai go, no further questioning.

But now Xia Yangzheng is very wavering about Zhou Xiaofu's proposal.He wanted to see him, to hear what he had to say.He has always been his staff member, and he will discuss everything with him, and he will always know when he is not at ease, and he will comfort himself.

"My lord, Your Highness invites you to gather in the palace." Thirteen sent a message to Ye Bai.

Xia Yangzheng will be enthroned tomorrow, Ye Bai is also anxious, wondering how Xia Yangzheng is preparing.All along, they are working hard for today.

Xia Yangzheng didn't say anything when he saw Ye Bai, just sat on the stool beside the table.Ye Bai walked up to Xia Yangzheng slowly, and kneeled respectfully to Xia Yangzheng: "Caomin greets His Majesty the Emperor."

Xia Yangzheng just didn't want to speak for some reason, and Ye Bai knelt down for a long time.

Seeing that Xia Yangzheng didn't let him get up, Ye Bai didn't know what happened to Xia Yangzheng.

For a while, no one spoke in the hall, and the air seemed to freeze.Zhou Xiaofu tugged on Radufang's sleeve, and then quietly retreated by himself.

Seeing this, Du Fang felt mixed feelings and left silently.

Ye Bai felt a little sore in his knees and moved slightly.

Xia Yangzheng saw it, but he didn't want to speak anyway.

Ye Bai knew that if he didn't speak first, there might be a stalemate.So Ye Bai had no choice but to say: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned the grassroots here?"

Xia Yangzheng pursed his lips, but still didn't speak.

"Your Majesty has won the hearts of the people, and the ministers in the court were also panicked for a while and did not have time to deploy. Your Majesty can rest assured to ascend the throne, and make long-term plans when the court calms down." Ye Baiwei said to himself.

"I'm not afraid to have my uncle around." Xia Yangzheng choked out a sentence.

"If possible, it would be best for His Majesty to get away from the uncle's protection as soon as possible."

"Don't you have anything else to say?" Xia Yangzheng clenched his fists and asked.

"Your Majesty, rest well, and you will need to be refreshed tomorrow."

"Can you stay and drink with me?" Xia Yangzheng softened his attitude.

"This matter is inappropriate." Ye Bai said lightly.

"Don't go, warm up another pot of wine for me." Just as Ye Bai walked around him to leave, Xia Yangzheng grabbed one of Ye Bai's sleeves, his words were blunt, but there was a trace of loneliness that no one could refuse.Ye Bai looked at Xia Yangzheng silently, and gently pulled out his sleeve.Walking back to the seat opposite Xia Yangzheng, he said, "I'll refill another cup for you."

Covering his sleeve with one hand, Ye Bai put the white jade wine bottle in the small stove for warming the wine, and used a small bamboo branch to stir the fire in the small stove.Xia Yangzheng watched Ye Bai's movements and remained silent.

Xia Yangzheng slept on the bed for several hours when the rooster began to crow.Ye Bai stayed up with Xia Yangzheng all night, and was about to leave when it was dawn.

Xia Yangzheng walked to the dressing table and sat down and said to Ye Bai: "Huafu, can you comb my hair for the last time?" After today, I am no longer a prince, and I will cut off everything related to you, and I will never be a prince again. I know you well.

Ye Bai hesitated for a moment, walked behind Xia Yangzheng, bent slightly to pick up the comb, and knelt down to comb Xia Yangzheng's hair, straightening, distributing, twisting, bunning, and fixing the hairpin.Concentrate on and be meticulous.

"Huafu, do you still remember my words?"

"remember."

"Can you call me again?" Xia Yangzheng said lightly, "I'm afraid no one will call me again from now on."

"Zhihua."

As soon as Ye Bai said it, Xia Yangzheng hugged him tightly and shouted, "Don't move! Let me hug you."

I have never felt so lonely. My father, mother, and concubine are all gone, leaving me alone to become the emperor and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the people.

From then on, Xia Yangzheng became the emperor, and Du Fang was the imperial guard with a knife.

On a certain day when Xia Yangzheng was enthroned for more than a month, everyone discussed together and felt that they wanted to choose a concubine for Xia Yangzheng.Xia Yangzheng is 23 years old, with only two concubines and no heirs.Now that you are an emperor, you must draft a concubine for the continuation of the dragon vein.He Fangming had already talked about this with Xia Yangzheng, but Xia Yangzheng refused.He Fangming had no choice but to find Ye Bai and let him handle the matter.Ye Bai didn't want to interfere with Xia Yangzheng's relationship at all, but Dong Zhongting, Wang He and the others came to ask him in turn, and Ye Bai finally agreed to give it a try.

Du Fang was wandering around the capital that day, and Ye Bai approached Du Fang.

"Brother Du, can you tell me?"

"Okay." Du Fang hadn't talked to Ye Bai alone for a long time, and suddenly felt a little strange.

"You like today."

"Yes."

"He wants to be a queen, has a son, and has three thousand beauties. If you are with him, you will be reviled by future generations, and he will also be laughed at by the world."

Du Fang was suddenly speechless. He hadn't thought about unnecessary things, but now the facts were in front of him.

"Can it be tolerated?" Ye Bai asked.

Du Fang looked a little hesitant.

"Leave him, before you love him deeply."

"You!" Du Fang looked at Ye Bai in disbelief, "You made me..."

"Yes!" Ye Bai answered simply.

"You like him." Du Fang was able to analyze calmly.

"I don't know either." Ye Bai sighed quietly.

"You are so cruel!" Du Fang said word by word: "When he likes you, you just push me towards him. When I like him, you want to drive me away from him."

"It's for the two of you."

"Do you think it's ok if I leave? He will find another person, and you keep looking for him if you don't agree." Du Fang thought it was ridiculous.

Ye Bai lowered his eyes with a calm expression.

Xia Yangzheng's bedroom was moved to the main hall, some commonly used things were moved there, and some not commonly used things were moved to the right place.Books are moved to Zangshu Pavilion, and treasures are moved to Zangku.

The palace slaves were moving things back and forth in Huaying Hall, Du Fang found a stool and sat down to watch, because there was really nothing to do in the palace.

"This book..." Du Fang had some doubts.

"Oh! This book is the copybook of Layman Yunshan. The calligraphy and ink of Layman Yunshan are rare treasures!" The official said casually, but Du Fang clenched the sword in his hand.

As soon as Xia Yangzheng entered the palace gate, he saw a large box of books lying on the ground.Du Fang was sitting on a chair beside him with a cold expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Xia Yangzheng bent down and picked up a book to look through it, and found that the book in this box was actually the book that he asked Zhou Xiaofu to take to the cellar and planned to bury it forever.

"Layman Yunshan's calligraphy is so famous, I didn't know it!" Du Fang sneered.

Xia Yangzheng was stunned: Du Fang found out!

When Du Fang found out that he had Ye Bai's copybook in his possession, he explained it this way: "These books were copied by Huafu, and Gu Mu was asked to sell them on the street. When I saw that he couldn't sell them, someone secretly bought them. "

Du Fang: "Xia Yangzheng, I'm so annoying to you."

"Why do you say such hurtful things to me?" Xia Yangzheng frowned, he wanted to be with Du Fang properly.

"You love him, this friendship should not be shallow."

"No, I like you!" To him, that was once, and now you are the most important.

"Are you still kidding yourself!" Du Fang was completely annoyed.

"He's just a close friend of mine now," Xia Yangzheng tried his best to explain.

"Ridiculous." Du Fang snorted coldly.

"Why don't you believe me?"

"How can you be trusted? He may even be your father-killing enemy!" Du Fang vented his anger for the first time.

Xia Yangzheng was stunned, and it took him a while to say: "Du Fang, you are too heartless."

"It's not that I'm heartless, but you are heartless!" Du Fang sneered.

Well, no matter what I say, you don't believe me anymore.Xia Yangzheng felt pain in his heart, he liked Du Fang, although it wasn't so deep that he couldn't help himself, but he liked him!

Du Fang just snorted, sorry for you, Xia Yangzheng, who is still deceiving himself and others, making the three of them miserable.

Chapter 25

In the end, Du Fang left freely without leaving any trace.

Before leaving, he went to see Ye Bai and said, "We are not alike at all."

Ye Bai smiled wryly, "We all know."

After Shisi let Xia Yangzheng know about Ye Bai letting Du Fang go, he was furious.

"Ye Bai!" Xia Yangzheng roared, "Why are you doing this!"

"Why did you drive Du Fang away!" Xia Yangzheng didn't know how he was feeling right now, it was very chaotic, very chaotic.

"Your Highness is now the emperor of Daqing. You can't be as casual as you were when you were the prince. You want to have a son, and you have a harem of three thousand. Du Fang will leave sooner or later. Letting him go now will not hurt him too much."

"I only take one scoop of three thousand weak waters! What are the others! I only want Du Fang!" Xia Yangzheng slapped the table with his palm, and put

"It will not be as you wish today." Ye Bai said, "There are tens of thousands of people on the top, and hundreds of civil and military officials on the bottom, and even set an example for the people of the world!"

"You have to know that you are just a grassroots person, how dare you dictate the affairs of my Daqing Emperor's family?" Xia Yangzheng was furious.

After hearing this, Ye Bai knew that he and Xia Yangzheng were about to break up, and his heart sank. He knelt down and said, "The grass people know their crimes and are willing to be punished."

"You'd better not show up in front of me again!" Xia Yangzheng said.

"The grass people know." Ye Bai also left.

Xia Yangzheng suddenly felt that he had nothing left.

It's better to be dead, he thought.

In September, chrysanthemums fill the city with fragrance, but it is the time when all the flowers fall.When the flowers fall, people don't meet each other, just ask when the flowering season will come again.

Du Fang left, and Ye Bai was leaving too.He wanted to go back to the Ye family's house that had already moved to Jiaping, where his elder brothers and sisters were all waiting for him.If Xia Yangzheng hadn't begged for the family's relocation, he would not have stayed in the capital.

Taking Gu Mu alone, I just pack some clothes and get some money.As for Aunt Zhang and Li Daniu, both are from the capital, it will be fine if they are dismissed.Ye Bai made the arrangements at home and went out to buy a carriage by himself, and set off with Gu Mu tomorrow at mid-morning.

Back home, He Fangming was already waiting.

"Brother Zilan, are you here to bid farewell to me today?"

"Huafu, you can't go."

"Why?"

"The court needs you."

"But do you know that His Majesty doesn't want to see me anymore?"

"That's the case..." He Fangming felt a little helpless, "But do you bear to see the restlessness of the people all over the world?"

"The power of the Prince's remnant party has not yet been eliminated, and the hearts of the people have not yet stabilized." Seeing that Ye Bai did not speak, He Fangming continued, "The Daqing Dynasty needs a good minister!"

"Brother Zilan, you also know that I won't live for two years. I just want to go back to the Ye family's house, offer incense sticks to my parents, see my brothers and sisters and my nephew that I have never seen before." Ye Bai sighed In one breath, "I'm tired, my ambition has never been above the temple."

"Huafu, I know you are tired. Can I just stay for a year?"

"Brother Zilan..."

"Huafu, I know this is a difficult situation for the strong. But for the sake of the people in the world, can you just compromise?"

"Brother Zilan, your family and country are always in your heart. Have you ever thought about it for the foolish brother?"

"Hua Fu, have you ever been wronged by my brother since we met?" He Fangming couldn't help but also harden his breath.

"Never..."

"That's the end of my words, Huafu, you can do as you see fit. You stay as a brother and still recognize you as a good brother. If you leave, it will be as if we have never known each other!" He Fangming waved his sleeves.

"I can stay, but how will brother Zilan persuade His Majesty to let me enter the court as an official? He doesn't want to see me anymore."

"We have our own way."

After the morning court the next day, the Royal Study Room.

"Today, please follow your promise and make Ye Bai your prime minister."

"Ridiculous! I don't want to see him anymore!"

"When your majesty was still the prince, Ye Bai worked hard and devoted himself to his majesty. His knowledge and morals were all superior, so everyone couldn't achieve it. At that time, your majesty also wanted Ye Bai to be the prime minister. Now that your majesty has ascended the dragon throne, I implore you to honor your words! "

"Presumptuous! You all know that I'm waiting for Du Fang to come back, but you want him to misunderstand me!"

"Your Majesty, please put the world first!"

"Okay, you guys! You're all here to force me, right? There's no need to continue this discussion!"

"Your Majesty, please keep your promise!"

"I am the Son of Heaven, I have the final say, step back!"

"Sir, He Fangming, please resign and return home!"

"Sir, Li Mochun please resign!"

"Chen, Dong Zhongting please resign!"

Except for Wang He, the other three resigned.

"Okay, you all go, just leave me to suffer alone! You think I want to be the emperor? I just wanted to save my life!" Xia Yangzheng was already in a daze, "Do you know how much I want to leave Everything to find Du Fang? For the sake of this family, the country, and the world, and to live up to your friendship, I endured it all. But what about you? You are all forcing me to meet in heaven with a person who hates me when I see it !"

"Today, I have made up my mind to go, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" They were also very sad, how could the original friendship become like this now.

Among the seven people at the beginning, Xia Yangzheng became the emperor, Wang He became Wei Weiqing, in charge of the palace guards and soldiers; Lu Qing was in charge of security affairs in the palace; Dong Zhongting was promoted to Tingwei, in charge of criminal law, prisons and trial cases.Shi Qingcun didn't want to enter the official career and wanted to be a free merchant, so he was named an imperial merchant.As for the most hardworking Ye Bai, he is still a grassroots person.

The two parties were at a stalemate, and in the end it was Wang He who mediated and asked the two parties to discuss the matter again tomorrow.When it was time for dinner, Xia Yangzheng was thinking about this matter while eating. In fact, he also knew that his dragon position was still unstable, and he urgently needed a wise prime minister to help him.

That's all!He's just a grassroots person, why should I argue with him a lot.Xia Yangzheng wrote the imperial decree with a brush, stamped it with a seal and shouted, "Little Fuzi!"

"The slave is here!"

"Now go to the Ye residence to announce the decree."

"Yes."

Ye house.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Ye Bai, the second son of the former Taifu Ye Wen, is gentle and courteous, intelligent and thoughtful, kind and loving for the people. He is the pillar of my Daqing. I hereby order Ye Bai to be my Prime Minister of Daqing today. I admire this." Zhou Xiaofu handed the imperial edict to Ye Bai, and Ye Bai knelt down to receive the imperial edict and stood up. "I said today that Master Ye doesn't need to kneel, why should you..."

"That's what the second prince said, not today. Does Mr. Zhou need to come in for a cup of tea?"

"No, Mr. Ye is good to pay attention to your body, your complexion is not very good." Zhou Xiaofu couldn't help worrying.

"Eunuch Lao is concerned."

"Master Ye, you should call me Xiaofu." Zhou Xiaofu was not used to being distant and polite.

"Since you call me son, then I have no choice but to call you Xiaofu." Ye Bai laughed.

"Then slave, I'll go back and answer the decree first." Zhou Xiaofu felt comfortable without the official accent.

"Go."

"Yes."

Chapter 26

The next day when he went to court, Xia Yangzheng's eyes were glued to his new prime minister.That handsome and gentle appearance is so solemn, even a faint smile is a lonely and distant etiquette.With Guanyu's face, dignified demeanor, and indifferent breath, Xia Yangzheng knew that the slightest indifference in Ye Bai's softly smiling eyes was not cold frost, but his arrogance—Gao Fangzhengya's name After becoming an official, there is another outstanding person with extraordinary talents, how could it be just the gentle Ye Bai?

Although Xia Yangzheng knew that Ye Bai had his aloof side, this was the first time he saw it.Xia Yangzheng was surprised and didn't show it on his face. He briefly told the court officials about the new prime minister and began to discuss matters.After coming down to court, it was supposed to be the time for the emperor and the prime minister to discuss the memorial, but Xia Yangzheng just said that he was unwell and passed away.

The Taiping Qing Dynasty, known as the Anping Reign by later generations, began under such an atmosphere.Xia Yangzheng and others have not made any reforms to the government. Why not do it if you can still have a peaceful and prosperous age by following the old system?

The real headache for them is the courtiers who have different intentions.People in the queen's party don't know whether to clean up the disobedient courtiers and grandsons, and the bandits who took advantage of the chaos to become kings...

Xia Yangzheng has been in the government for half a year, and the ones that are easy to remove have already been removed, and there are about one or two deep-rooted ones.According to the current situation, they don't dare to do anything, so Ye Bai gradually shifted his focus from politics to politics, and managed political affairs well.

As for Xia Yangzheng and Ye Bai, who have no personal relationship at all, they are ordinary monarchs and ministers, or not as good as ordinary monarchs and ministers.At least, except for Ye Bai, the other courtiers are called "Ai Qing", but Ye Bai is the only one who is called "Ye Qing".

Ye Bai doesn't love officialdom, but how can a man keep his feathers spotless in the temple?But Ye Bai is always very careful, but this day, he couldn't escape being dragged to the banquet.Unexpectedly, he didn't realize that he was drugged by those people, trying to catch him!Ye Bai went out of the room on the pretext of convenience and called the bearer to rush back home.

Ayu was waiting at the door, she was an orphan girl rescued by Ye Bai in Pingchuan, Ye Bai was kind to her and treated her tenderly, the little girl had already secretly agreed with her.Seeing Ye Bai come back, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Master!"

Ye Bai got off the sedan chair, he didn't care much, he smiled and agreed to go back to his room.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Ayuhe asked anxiously when he saw Ye Bai like this.

"I'm fine, I'm going back to my room first."

Ayu still wanted to ask, but felt it was inappropriate.

Back in the room, Ye Bai was lying on the bed and was about to solve it by himself, but he heard Ayu outside the door saying: "My lord, my servant has come in."

"No!" Ye Bai shouted hastily.

But at this time Ayu had already pushed the door open and walked in, holding a plate of water in his hand, "My lord, let's wash up first."

"You go out first, I will."

"What's the matter with you, son?"

"Get out!" Ye Bai was worried about his gaffe and that he would do something wrong, so he couldn't help being a little fierce towards Ayu.

Ayu was frightened by Ye Bai, she hesitated to leave, and was worried about Ye Bai, so she looked at Ye Bai a few more times, but found Ye Bai's current situation...could it be...

"Young Master, someone gave you a strange drug?"

"Don't ask, Ayu. Get out!"

Seeing this, Ayu already understood a little.She seemed to have made a lot of determination, and she started to undress her clothes with trembling hands.Then he called Ye Bai without a trace: "Master."

Ye Bai looked at her, and suddenly saw the naked body of a young girl, his mind froze for a moment, and he quickly turned his head, not daring to look at it.

"Young master, if you look at it, you just look at it. Can you still pretend that you haven't seen it when you turn your head?"

"Ayu, quickly put on your clothes!" Ye Bai scolded.

"My lord, I don't dare to expect anything extravagantly, I just want to do something for my lord." After finishing speaking, Ayu leaned towards Ye Bai, wanting to reach out to take off his clothes.

Ye Bai grabbed her hand but she broke free, "My lord, let's become one of my slave's wishes!" A kiss blurred Ye Bai's sanity.

"Silly girl." Ye Bai sighed, reaching out to hug Ayu.

It's night, turned into a red wave.

When he woke up the next day, Ye Bai felt a little dizzy, but it didn't take him a moment to remember what happened last night. He looked at Ayu who was not sleeping peacefully beside him, and felt deeply moved.

"No matter what happened last night, I will give you a title." Ye Bai whispered, "You are a good girl."

Ye Bai did what he said, and left the matter to the housekeeper.Keep everything simple, but what should not be neglected must not be neglected, so that the marriage can be completed within three months.A month later, the housekeeper drew up the wedding order and prepared the wedding supplies, and spent another month completing four of the six rituals.In the third month, invitations will be sent out, and on the auspicious day at the end of the month, the marriage can be celebrated in person.

"Congratulations, my lord!" All the officials who received the invitation began to congratulate Ye Bai.

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Maybe he could finally get rid of some knots, Ye Bai smiled happily.

Xia Yangzheng stood on the high platform in front of the Hall of Valor, watching a certain figure in the process of leaving the officials called Zhou Xiaofu: "Little Fuzi." I don't know when he likes to go out of the palace and go home at dusk when the officials are in court. At that time, he stood on the high platform facing the palace gate and watched all the officials leave the palace.

"The servant is here." Zhou Xiaofu responded.

"What's going on today? Why is everyone leaning on Ye Bai? What good things do you say to be so happy?"

"I heard that Lord Ye is getting married." Zhou Xiaofu
