Yang Yanqing squinted his eyes, and his thoughts fell into the picture that was still vivid and visible in countless midnight dreams, his tone was sarcasm and cold sadness.

He was born at the end of the prosperous age, but he witnessed with his own eyes that prosperity went from prosperous to dilapidated due to the civil war.

"The country is about to fall, the courtiers are disintegrated, foreign enemies invade, and the gates are trampled by the enemy's iron cavalry... No matter which country has many righteous soldiers who died for the country and showed their ambition with blood, is it possible that the defeat of the country can not be countered by manpower? Those hot blood infected the scorched earth, and the grief and indignation can only be turned into the ultimate tragic tragedy."

"The people who once paid taxes to the court and supported and loved the king were displaced. Their houses, land, and relatives were all ruthlessly trampled by foreign enemies. The red flame seemed to engulf the country from the other side of the sky... The former royal relatives, Tianhuang nobles fled in embarrassment in the face of traitors and thieves."

Yang Yanqing hates conspiracy and rebellion, not because of who he is loyal to, but because of those Li people who suffered innocently because of the ambition of those in power.

Xiao Jinghe lowered his eyes and narrowed his eyes: "What do you want to say, sir?"

"Now I am in the arms of the prince." Yang Yanqing said softly, "If I am not the emperor's teacher of the Daqing Dynasty, Yang Yanqing of the Zhenfu Division, but just the prince's concubine, how will the prince persuade me to support the prince's great cause?"

Xiao Jinghe tightened his arms around Yang Yanqing.

Both of them knew that such an assumption was just an assumption, but it was undeniable that such an assumption greatly satisfied Xiao Jinghe's desire for monopoly that he had never spoken of.

Yes.

Xiao Jinghe has always cared.

He can be tolerant to Yang Yanqing's repeated provocations from far and near, or he can not care about what Yang Yanqing calculated and used from him after each provocation, but he cares about Yang Yanqing's original intention of marrying him, and he cares about Yang Yanqing's dedication to everything for the little emperor. Planning, caring that the mind of the person who will be buried in the same tomb a hundred years later in his arms will be occupied by others.

Whether it is the former emperor who has passed away, or the little emperor who is just a little boy who has not yet grown up.

Xiao Jinghe felt that it was an eyesore.

"Sir, what do you want to get out of this king's mouth?" Xiao Jinghe's lips were close to his cheeks and kept tempting his luscious earlobes. "Conspiring to rebel, this king's Jingbei Palace cannot afford such a crime."

Yang Yanqing shook his hands helplessly, and even Xiao Jinghe, who was holding his hands, also shook slightly, avoiding Xiao Jinghe's lips, and hummed in a dissatisfied voice: "My lord, I am under your control now." , there are only you and me in this wilderness, and you don't even know where Mo Xiao and Hei Ying have been taken away by you, so what else is there to worry about? How can I be so unfounded because of 'hearing the prince said that he intends to rebel'? Come to join the prince's book with an unfounded statement?"

"Mr.'s ability, I never dare to underestimate." Xiao Jinghe pressed the scholar who sat up a little bit harder into his arms again, "Why don't you ask me, sir, and I will answer as appropriate, how about it?"

Yang Yanqing clicked his tongue softly.

He kind of missed Xiao Jinghe from before - now it's very difficult to cheat.

Leaning into Xiao Jinghe's arms and changing to a more comfortable position, Yang Yanqing thought for a moment and asked, "Assuming the prince is successful, what are you going to do next?"

For Xiao Jinghe, half of this question is a hypothesis, and half is all kinds of things brought into his previous life.

He pondered for a while, then replied: "Reorganize the imperial examinations, redefine the duties and responsibilities of officials in the territory, clean up the army, check the treasury, and at the same time send a new governor to the dependent country to inspect secretly..."

These were all done by Xiao Jinghe in his previous life after he came to power, or watched the cabinet implement them, and... things he didn't have time to do in his previous life.

Yang Yanqing listened carefully to Xiao Jinghe's narration, and he could tell that Xiao Jinghe had indeed thought about these things very carefully, but many of the measures were not applicable to Daqing today. Instead, it was more like helping the country under the threat of tigers watching eagles salivating All-in-one gamble—especially Xiao Jinghe's caution and fear in facing the issue of the vassal state at the end.

This is not normal.

There is only one vassal state that professes its vassal status to Daqing, and it has maintained its law and order for a hundred years without restlessness. Why is Xiao Jinghe so afraid of that vassal state whose territory is only the size of a continent?

Yang Yanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, his cheeks were a little flushed due to the fever, Xiao Jinghe followed his words and went all the way without looking back, naturally it was impossible to find medicine to relieve Yang Yanqing.

The fever did make him think a lot slower, but it was still easy to keep up with Xiao Jinghe.

Xiao Jinghe felt the person in his arms trembling slightly, stopped talking, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is it hard?"

"It's not in the way." Yang Yanqing shook his head, his index finger came out of his imprisoned big palm and stroked the thick callus on Xiao Jinghe's tiger's mouth, and said slowly, "Rectifying the imperial examinations and dividing the duties of officials... These are all right, but when the prince is full of ambition When reforming the internal affairs, the six ministers headed by the cabinet and the censors will play one after another to persuade the prince to take the overall situation into account and think more about the country. Of course the prince will not obey, but will force the old cabinet ministers to retreat from the court. If they stay behind closed doors, students from all over the state will be outraged, and literati's pen and ink will cut their throats like sharp knives, and then the prince will face the scolding of literati all over the world."

Xiao Jinghe behind him snorted coldly, full of disdain: "A group of nerds who only know how to criticize others but don't know how to serve the country?"

"Then there will be uprisings from various states in the name of supporting the orthodox and overthrowing the tyrant. The prince will order the cronies to lead the troops to suppress the uprising. The soldiers will go out and focus on food and grass. The six ministries controlled by the cabinet will not let the counter-rebellion go smoothly... Then As time goes by, the prince will find that there are fewer and fewer soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, and those who can be used in the court disappear one by one. And those rebels in the name of orthodoxy will attack the prince step by step under the guidance of the cabinet in front of..."

Yang Yanqing sighed: "My lord's Daqing just died like this."

In fact, after Xiao Jinghe ascended the throne in the previous life, the cabinet did step by step to evade Xiao Jinghe step by step, but it didn't go to the point of rebellion.

Xiao Jinghe gritted his teeth: "If the king is in power, the first thing to do is to kill those three old things in the cabinet."

"Well, the three elders of the cabinet have a very good reputation to the outside world, and they are the great Confucianists in the world. The king's rebellion and ascension to the throne have already fallen into disrepute, and now the first thing he does when he ascends the throne is to kill the elders of the three dynasties for no reason. Why don't you worry about arousing the crowd's excitement? Those who plan to rebel can also be rebelled, and then the clan's rebellion will be more logical, and the mourning army will win... Tsk." Yang Yanqing sighed again, "The prince's Daqing died again. "

"Conspiring against the throne is like walking on the edge of a knife. If you don't pay attention to the power and power you once held in your hands, it will bite you back."

"My lord, the phoenix crown is too heavy, and the official robe jade wat is more suitable."

Xiao Jinghe let go of his hand, raised the chin that was clamping Yang Yanqing and forced him to raise his head and look at him, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Sir, can't you say something nice with this mouth?"

Yang Yanqing obediently raised his head and looked up at Xiao Jinghe's handsome face from below, blinked, and said with a light smile: "My lord, what do you want to hear? Why don't you say something, my lord, and I'll learn from it?"

Xiao Jinghe's eyelids twitched a few times because of the restrained anger, but he let go of the scholar's chin, rubbed his fingers against the aftertaste and still had the delicate touch of the skin, and no longer wanted to talk to this irritating scholar.

Yang Yanqing wanted to lean back, but Xiao Jinghe blocked him, and turned to look at the man behind him in confusion.

so stingy?

Xiao Jing suddenly asked: "If Xiao Yun failed to survive the civil strife, under what considerations would you choose to assist me?"

Yang Yanqing thought for a while: "My lord, this sharp blade is too difficult to control. If I choose my lord...it must be because I hold a handle in my hand that can make my lord fail forever."

Xiao Jinghe let go of Yang Yanqing's arm with a stern face, and turned his head to the side when Yang Yanqing looked over.

Yang Yanqing: "..."

A smile couldn't help overflowing from the corner of his eyes, Yang Yanqing raised his hand to hook Xiao Jinghe's front, and was about to say something, but over Xiao Jinghe's shoulder, he saw a deep dark light behind him rushing to the sky silently.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jinghe felt that Yang Yanqing's movements stopped, and he raised his hand to grab Yang Yanqing's wrist worriedly, "Where is your pain? Is it just a fever?"

"It's not just a fever." Yang Yanqing nestled back into Xiao Jinghe's arms tiredly, "Everything hurts everywhere, all over the body."

Xiao Jinghe had no choice but to hold the person in his arms tighter. The person in his arms seemed to be feeling uncomfortable. He rubbed back and forth in Xiao Jinghe's arms to adjust his posture. When the clothes rubbed against each other, Xiao Jinghe's face suddenly stiffened. live.

Yang Yanqing also stopped.

"Don't move, be good." Xiao Jinghe said in a hoarse voice, lowered his head and cheeks close to Yang Yanqing's neck, and smelled a quiet fragrance.

This fragrance was very strange, he had never smelled it on Yang Yanqing's body before.

Yang Yan withdrew his hand that was about to push the hard thing away without changing his face, coughed lightly: "Help me take off the hairpin, the prince doesn't feel panicked?"

According to Xiao Jinghe's words, he raised his hand and pulled out the Mo Yuzan from the black hair of the person in his arms. He was a little surprised to find that Yang Yanqing's hair did not fall apart because of this, and was still tied behind his head properly by the hair tie.

Since there is already a headband to tie your hair, why do you need a hosta?

Xiao Jinghe secretly thought that it was not good, but the effect of the medicine had been exerted rapidly.

Yang Yanqing gently broke away from Xiao Jinghe's embrace, turned around to face Xiao Jinghe half kneeling on the thick cloak, raised his hand to lift the man's chin.

Xiao Jinghe loosened his fingers, and the jade hairpin in his hand fell to the ground with a soft sound. The strength in his whole body seemed to be taken away by something suddenly, and the scene in front of him also began to become blurred.

In a daze, Xiao Jinghe saw the scholar approaching, caressing his cheek with his fingers, and then lowered his head to press a soft kiss like a feather on the corner of his lips.

"Hey, don't be too angry."

The author has something to say:

Yang Yanqing (kiss): I was wrong, I dare to do it next time!Chirp!don't be angry~

Xiao Jinghe: ...?Who told me to let the king do it?If this continues, sooner or later, the king will yangwei [raise the knife]
