Abolish the emperor into a concubine

After the news that Xiao Yingchi and Mu Zizhuo were buried together in the Royal Cemetery of Xiao Kingdom came out, Fu Ya and Mu Qinghong hurriedly came to Xiao Country to look for important persons from Xiao Zhenye, and asked to bring Mu Zizhuo back to Mu Country for burial.

But they couldn't separate Xiao Yingchi and Mu Zizhuo, their bones and flesh were even fused together by the fire, and they couldn't be separated by force.

In the end, the two sides had no choice but to take a step back and let Xiao Yingchi and Mu Zizhuo be buried together in the royal cemetery of Mu State, next to Mu Zijin's tomb.

Although Fuya and Mu Qinghong didn't want Xiao Yingchi to dirty the royal cemetery of the Mu Kingdom, Mu Zizhuo is the prince of the Mu Kingdom, the hero of the Mu Kingdom, and their king's favorite younger brother. Those who entered the royal cemetery of the Kingdom of Mu with the ceremony could not forcibly separate the two, so they could only compromise in the end.

Seeing Xiao Yingchi and Mu Zizhuo being buried together in the Mu Kingdom Royal Cemetery, Xiao Zhenye was actually a little envious. At least they could still be buried together, and the epitaph said each other.

But the epitaph of the person he loves the most doesn't even have any record of him, as if he was just a stranger.

And after a hundred years, he can only lie alone in the cold imperial tomb.

Desolate, desolate, miserable.

It really became a lonely family.

The person he loves the most and the younger brother he loves the most have left him, Xiao Zhenye feels abandoned by the whole world for a moment.

Everyone in the world has a home, even the woodcutter who chops firewood on the mountain, when he returns home, someone will pour him tea, take off his clothes, and ask him how he is, but he doesn't. Every time he turns around, there is no one behind him.

He was alone, alone.

He seems to be isolated on the outermost side of the world, looking at everyone in the world enjoying themselves, but he can't get in. Everything in the world has nothing to do with him, and he will always be an outsider.

Accompanying him is only endless loneliness, so lonely that his heart is sore.

He smiled bitterly, it was really as Zijin "blessed".

Not far away, a young man was working hard in the field, and his wife in coarse linen wiped his sweat with her patched sleeves. Under the scorching sun, their smiles were simple and happy.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Zhenye only felt that his eyes were watery.

Even this kind of simple happiness has become a luxury for him...

He suddenly felt very cold, boundless cold, even though the sun was shining in the sky, he felt like he was in a cold day.

From the soles of the feet to the top of the head, from the back to the chest.

It was freezing cold.

Even breathing is cold.

Xiao Zhenye suddenly couldn't stand anymore. After the funeral, he hurried back to Xiao Country.

Back in the bedroom, no one was waiting for him here, he was the only one in the huge bedroom.

All alone.

Obviously the man's things are still there, even the location hasn't changed, but the man in red will never smile here and wait for him to come back, let alone nestle in his arms with his arms around his neck sweetly. shouted "Your Majesty".

When that person was around before, he longed for that person to return to the unruly young man he was before, but now, he only wants him, as long as it is him, as long as he is alive, no matter what kind of him he likes, no matter what kind of He accepts everything.

But even such a small wish is impossible to come true...

It was already late at night, but Xiao Zhenye was lying on the bed but still didn't feel sleepy.

He remembered that year on the battlefield, that man in red clothes and red horse shuttled among thousands of troops, heroic and arrogant.

He thought of that year in the court of the Mu Kingdom, that man fought against the Confucian scholars with his extraordinary intelligence and full of knowledge, with a youthful spirit and self-confidence.

He remembered that at the Nine Kingdoms Gathering that year, the man ingeniously integrated many elements into a work that amazed the audience, unrestrained and unrestrained, with high spirits.

He remembered that at the Mu State banquet that year, that person's "Ten Thousand Miles of Frontier Map" caused a sensation in the entire painting world, with freehand and romantic scenery.

He remembered that year when that person first became his concubine, even though her martial arts were abolished, she still did not submit to him, and every sexual encounter was like a war, rebellious and unyielding.

He thought of countless times in court, that person nestled in his arms, wrapped his arms around his neck and smiled sweetly, charming and enchanting, seducing the common people.

He remembered that day in front of the city gate of Rimu Country, that man smiled in his arms and took out his own heart with his own hands, cruelly and decisively...

Hot tears slid down the cold corners of his eyes and dripped into the pillow. The emperor hugged the man's clothes tightly, desperately sniffing the dissipated breath of the man on it, calling that name over and over again, "Zijin. ...Zijin...I miss you so much..."

"I was wrong... I was wrong..."

He was wrong, very wrong, he was the one who killed Zijin, he was the one who forced the person he loved the most to death with his own hands.

"sorry Sorry sorry......"

If everything could be done all over again, he would definitely not do it again.

He will not persecute him anymore, he will use his life to love him, protect him, cherish him, protect everything he guards, love everything he loves, and will not let him suffer any more.

But, is there a chance to do it all over again?

Tears wet the pillow, the bed was cold and hard, in the lonely night, the emperor couldn't sleep all night...

In the next few days, the emperor still couldn't sleep.

Either he kept remembering every bit of Mu Zijin and didn't feel sleepy, or he fell asleep but woke up suddenly in a dream.

Lacking sleep for a long time and refusing to eat well, the emperor finally fell ill.

This disease lasts for many days.

Drowsy all day long, rarely waking up.

Every time I woke up, I didn't recognize anyone at all, and soon fell asleep again.

There was a backlog of government affairs, and the courtiers panicked.

Some ministers who had long been dissatisfied with the emperor even took the opportunity to rebel several times, but they were all quelled by Liu Haoyan's troops.

But as the emperor was in a coma longer and longer, there were more and more rebellions.

Launched by courtiers, launched by people everywhere... Liu Haoyan is already a little bit powerless in all kinds of rebellions.

Just when the rebels were about to invade the palace, Xiao Zhenye finally woke up.

As if he had changed into a different person, he changed his previous sluggish appearance, and quickly quelled the rebellions in various places with thunderous means.

The appearance of the killing is daunting.

Even more cruel and cold-blooded than before.

And because of that white hair, he is called "white hair dark brake" by the world.

After the rebellions in various places subsided and the government was almost stabilized, Xiao Zhenye began to rectify the government.

Emphasize the virtuous and capable people regardless of their background, dismiss corrupt officials and courtiers, and formulate new regulations.

Although it was opposed and obstructed by many hereditary and conservative ministers, it was still carried out with difficulty under the emperor's iron and blood methods.

The emperor also inspected the situation in various places on the spot, adjusted measures to local conditions, and formulated different measures according to different situations to manage the people in various places and collect taxes and corvees.Taxes and corvees were exempted in the disaster-stricken areas, and even funds and personnel were allocated from the imperial court to deal with the disasters in those areas.

Inspectors are also set up everywhere, directly subordinate to the central government, to supervise and report local officials.

There are also a series of policies that benefit the country and the people, such as emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business. Xiao Zhenye has made a complete change to the entire Lingfeng Continent from top to bottom.

Although it encountered a lot of opposition and incomprehension at the beginning, and it was difficult to implement, gradually, people saw the benefits brought by the reform and began to spontaneously support the new policy.

These reforms were all mentioned by Mu Zijin to him, but he didn't implement them at that time, but unexpectedly, he started to implement them against all difficulties when he was gone.

He wants a prosperous age, so he will give him a prosperous age.

If he "blesses" his country for generations to come, then he will give him a country for generations to come as he wished.

By the seventh year, the New Deal has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, basically covering every corner of Lingfeng Continent.

Officials in various places have become more dedicated, and the lives of the people have improved a lot. There are no longer so many complaints from the people, and the riots are naturally much less.However, the implementation of the New Deal did not go smoothly. Xiao Zhenye experienced many setbacks in the past seven years.

He is not good at governing the country, but he forced to implement so many novel political laws, and the difficulties he encountered can be imagined.

But Xiao Zhenye overcame them one by one in the end. Every time he took a wrong path, he seriously summed up his experience and lessons, and blazed a new path.

This continued for seven years, and the New Deal was finally popularized.

But these are only aimed at other places, except Mu country.

Although Mu Country is also part of the Xiao Dynasty, Xiao Zhenye gave Mu Country the greatest degree of autonomy.

The Mu State is ruled by Mu Qinghong, Fu Ya is the general, and the people inside the Mu State have full power to manage it, and the imperial court does not interfere in the slightest.

They don't collect any taxes from the Mu country, so the Mu country really looks like an independent country.

It is said that time will smooth out the traces carved by the years and look down on people's memories, but seven years have passed, Xiao Zhenye's longing for Mu Zijin has not diminished, but has become deeper and deeper as time goes by.

Every lonely night, he would think of the boy in red, and the bits and pieces of their past.

At first, he couldn't fall asleep thinking about him all night, but later he got busy and exhausted physically and mentally, and he gradually fell asleep.

But every midnight dream, he still thinks of him, wakes up from the dream countless times with tears, and then survives the long night alone.

In only seven years, Xiao Zhenye seems to have aged 20 years, with vicissitudes in his brows and eyes, coupled with his white hair, he is often misunderstood by children.

Think "Grandpa".

Not long after Mu Zijin's death, Xiao Zhenye disbanded the harem. He would never touch anyone again in his life. There was no need for those young concubines to be buried in the harem all their lives.

Naturally, this move was unanimously opposed by all the courtiers. The emperor's childlessness is the greatest sin. However, their opposition and protest were useless to the emperor, and the emperor finally dismissed the harem.

In the second year of the implementation of the New Deal, Xiao Zhenye picked up an orphan in the disaster-stricken area. He was 12 years old, but he had eagle-wolf eyes.

Rebellious, cold and fierce.

Just like Mu Zijin back then.

Xiao Zhenye took him back, changed his name to "Jun'an", raised him under his knees, asked the best teacher to teach him in all aspects, and made him his successor against all opinions.
