Your Majesty, please draw the card

Liu Xi sometimes felt that the profession of the emperor was destined to be like a firefighter, even if he thought about how to guard against Xue Huairen, he would not lose one trouble because of it.Those who should come will always come, just like this morning, when he saw the Empress Dowager Cao standing in front of all the officials in formal court attire, he felt a little bit in his heart, knowing that there would be no good meeting today.

Empress Dowager Cao didn't actually speak in the morning court, and her two Hou Ye brothers expressed what she wanted to say on her behalf.The general meaning is that the emperor is now sixteen years old, and it is time to have a baby of his own.In view of the short lives of the previous emperors of Dayan, their concerns that the emperor has no crown prince so far are completely reasonable.As for the candidate for the queen, it is best to have a better family background, at least the family of the Marquis, and it would be great if it can be checked by experienced grandparents.

The emperor did not expect that Empress Dowager Cao would give him such a sudden attack.Although the Empress Dowager Cao was his own grandmother, she was nominally adopted by the late emperor, so his marriage should be arranged by the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager.Even on the side of the courtiers, the most powerful royal family member in the foreign dynasty is the King of Hengyang, who is a generation higher than the emperor, and it is the King of Hengyang who should start the foreign ministers' interference in the emperor's private affairs.At the beginning of the year, Liu Xi had already vaccinated all three of them, so even if it was the Longevity Day in May, no one would use marriage to hinder him.He did not expect that Empress Dowager Cao would suddenly jump out to "express family affection".

In fact, although Empress Dowager Cao's two elder brothers are also the elders of the emperor, and one of them has received the job of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, they are not in charge of royal affairs like King Hengyang, and they are not from the royal family with the surname Liu, so they have no position against The emperor pointed fingers.Of course, in the early court, everyone has the right to speak. They must say that the emperor can't stop them, but the officials present rarely agree.All the courtiers were like monkey spirits, waiting to see the emperor's reaction.

"Mr. Pingyuan has a heart." The emperor only mentioned Lord Pingyuan without mentioning the two Marquises, which shows that the emperor is also clear-eyed.

Liu Xi gave Gao Lishi a look, the latter understood immediately and whispered something into his ear.Gao Lishi is in charge of sorting out and filtering the news of Jiahewei, and he is the most familiar with all kinds of intelligence from the DPRK, and Liu Xi can often understand the cause and effect with a single sentence.

That's what happened...

The emperor nodded, and said calmly: "I have no intention of getting married. I have already told the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager about this matter. Both of them agreed with my proposition. The King of Hengyang was also present at that time. As for the matter of the Crown Prince, Before I went to the north, I had appointed the emperor's younger brother. The two uncles may have forgotten this matter because of their bad memory. I will say it again, I will raise the emperor's younger brother as the crown prince, and he will inherit my inheritance in the future Datong. Whoever dares to despise the emperor's younger brother is despising me, and I will never forgive him lightly!"

The emperor looked around and found that most of the officials were watching the excitement. The two princes probably didn't expect the emperor to refuse so directly, their faces flushed, and the Empress Dowager Cao frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

"However, what the two uncles said reminds me that if I don't get married for the time being, I can't delay many men and women of the right age in Chang'an City. There are many meritorious relatives who are waiting for me to bestow marriages. I was young two years ago. I can't help them, but now they are given together. Uncle, I remember that your cousin is the same age as me, and has not yet married, but if there is someone I like, just tell me. My uncle's family knows, Is it betrothed to Wang Juchen's son-in-law, right? I will decree the marriage soon, so it's a joy on top of happiness."

"Your Majesty!" Empress Dowager Cao couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty knows that happiness increases happiness, but have you ever heard of kissing each other? Min Rou has kissed the Emperor's sweetheart since she was a child..."

Liu Xi interrupted and said: "That's why I care about my cousin's marriage! My cousin has a bond with me anyway, and I will never wrong her. If there is no one she likes, why not let the empress dowager choose one for her cousin?" How about households? I believe that the empress dowager's vision will not be wrong."

Just now when Gao Lishi told him that Empress Dowager Cao's favorite niece and granddaughter, the matchmaker, hadn't gotten engaged before breaking through the threshold, Liu Xi already had some calculations in his heart.Seeing her speak at this moment, she naturally stopped her without any explanation.The empress dowager chooses a candidate, and the emperor bestows a marriage. If such a great honor is not enough, the ambition of the Cao family will be fully exposed.

Want to kiss more?Next life!

Liu Xi was really worried that he couldn't help but do something cruel if the family affection that he didn't have was consumed like this.

The Empress Dowager Cao didn't notice the emperor's displeasure at all, she just felt that the emperor was very disrespectful to prevent her from stepping down in public, and it was because her wings were so hard that she could not listen to her grandmother's words.The empress dowager and the empress dowager promised not to get married if they didn't get married. What is their relationship with the emperor, and what is their relationship with the emperor? How can the emperor be inseparable?

But things have come to this point, she can't say anything more, so she can only say "discuss later", and end this topic.No one is willing to allow my good niece and granddaughter to grow up so big, but she wants to be a favor to the Empress Dowager, how can she swallow this breath?

The emperor and the Empress Dowager Cao had a quarrel in the court hall and broke up. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Cao family had lost their sacred heart, and the emperor's resistance to marriage also revealed a faint message.After all, the emperor had only one rumored lover when he was 16 years old, and that person is now a marquis, and he is recuperating at the house of the governor of Chang'an.Regardless of whether the emperor has broken the relationship with that person, the emperor's preferences are still clear at a glance.

If the sleeves are really broken to such an extent that even the heir needs to be adopted, doesn't that mean...

The next day, the emperor noticed that the appearance of the people around him seemed to have suddenly improved a lot.At first, he thought it was because when summer came, the dressing style started to be light and simple and no longer complicated, so he didn't pay much attention to it.Unexpectedly, a few days later, when he was in court, even the five or sixty-year-old ministers began to put flowers on their temples, and the emperor suddenly felt something was wrong.

It can be said that the courtiers' sense of smell is quite accurate, but they are completely wrong in the direction of dealing with the emperor's broken sleeves!

After all, I am also the emperor. As for being so hungry, will everyone in charge have a chastity crisis?

While complaining about this matter, Liu Xi decided to take this opportunity to persuade Zhao Yun to stay overnight in Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, Zilong doesn't understand His Majesty's deep meaning. Why can I calm these things down by staying?" Zhao Yun was puzzled.

"It's very simple. Zilong's face is too upright, so that the courtiers don't think in the wrong way. I want them to open their eyes and find out the truth!"

If Zhao Yun looked like Lord Longyang, wouldn't there be scandals all over the sky right now?Knowing that he had been inexplicably lying on the back of Lord Longyang's gun, the emperor bled from his heart, and expressed solemn protest against such false news.

How come no one associates it with the righteous master?Is it because Zhao Yun's military exploits are too prominent, or is he too upright?

"As long as they understand that I already have a master, no one will spray incense powder on my nose every day to irritate my nose. Sneeze! Zilong, you see, I am also very miserable. I don’t know how many times I sneezed last time, really. I don’t know if they threw incense powder or poison powder.”

After Zhao Yun thought for a moment, he said, "Is the emperor planning to make it public? It's just that doing so is not good for the emperor's reputation."

"Where is the disadvantage? The real disadvantage is that the gay cheated on the marriage. I am not bragging, I am wise and powerful, and far surpassed the emperor. If they are still dissatisfied, don't blame me for not doing it!"

Zhao Yun's face changed slightly: "The emperor must not have the intention of becoming a monk!"

Liu Xi was taken aback for a moment, thinking how a typical atheist would become a monk. He thought carefully, and in history, many emperors who abdicated before they died were indeed monks or took their hair to practice. understand.

"No, no, I mean, I still have a lot of things to do, how can I be willing to leave."

The emperor's explanation fell into Zhao Yun's ears, which had another meaning.In his eyes, the emperor is a genius in heaven, with both civil and military skills, and he has surpassed most people in the secular world.That being the case, it is naturally very possible to turn my interest to how to truly "achieve the Tao and ascend to the immortal". The reason why my interest has not changed now is entirely because of a lot of state affairs.How could he have imagined that Liu Xi's lack of desire for power was because the throne was originally given as a gift through time travel, which is similar to that given by charging phone bills, and has nothing to do with extraordinary thoughts.If you say that the great sage is in the eye of the beholder, that's about it.

Seeing that the emperor wanted to leave the world, Zhao Yun immediately dispelled all worries, and said in a low voice: "Then let the emperor decide!"

Seeing that Zhao Yun was moved by the words, Liu Xi couldn't help being elated, and after thinking about it, he asked hesitantly, "Does that Zilong know what we are going to do tonight?"

Zhao Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why is the emperor not serious?"

"Serious, I'm the most serious!" Liu Xi cleared his throat, "I plan to study Broken Jade Beads with Zilong tonight."

"what?"

"Isn't Zilong also studying the power of broken jade beads these days?"

As soon as the broken jade beads were mentioned, Zhao Yun's face suddenly became solemn: "Yes. I found that wearing the broken jade beads, not only can't lift up the inner breath, but also can only exert a little or two of strength, but if the broken jade beads are installed in hardware Your Majesty, I have already assigned two assistants to be on duty in turn, do you really not want another person to be Weiyang Weiwei?"

"No need. You still have to listen to me on this matter. It's not just Xue Huairen that I have to face."

Zhao Yun thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stopped insisting.With him by the emperor's side, at least he can detect the approach of broken jade beads first, which can be regarded as both advantages and disadvantages.

"Since you have studied the conditions for the broken jade beads to take effect, have you ever studied the effective distance of the broken jade beads?"

"It takes one step to be effective."

"What about the effective part?"

Zhao Yun asked puzzledly, "What is the effective part?"

Liu Xi rubbed his hands secretly and rejoiced: "Then we will study this tonight! I will try it with you to see which parts of the broken jade beads are effective and which parts are not effective."

Although Liu Xi said it righteously, Zhao Yun is so smart, how could he not understand what he meant, and helplessly raised his hand to stroke Liu Xi's hair.

"I'm not a child anymore!"

With the help of Sui Yuzhu, it is a matter of minutes to overthrow the idol!

"Is it any use for a child to just talk?"

"!!!"

Just listen to Zhao Yun said leisurely: "Jiangshan Sheji, I am happy to have a Ming Lord. Civil servants and military generals are happy to meet a Ming Lord. Zilong respects and loves the Emperor from the bottom of his heart, and I will be willing to do whatever the Emperor wants to do to me."

But it is, the heart is open, the moonlight is bright, and the mandarin mandarins embrace the red gauze tent...
