Emperor industry. Anlan in the world

The teacup on the desk was gurgling with warm tea soup, which wet the ground, but it couldn't relieve the trouble in his heart. He stood in the main room in a daze, in a dilemma.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The scenery of the embankment remains the same, but the two who once talked to each other under the willow tree have broken up.The snow has stopped today, but the whole world is still covered with snow, and the wind is cold.

Ye Qingxiao tightly gathered the neckline of her cloak, standing still in the cold wind, her handsome face looked very pale under the reflection of the snow, her eyes were black and blue, and her appearance was haggard.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and turned around slowly, but when he saw Ye Youran's face, he couldn't help feeling disappointed, and the light in his eyes went out for a moment.

Ye Youran had an exquisite mind, so naturally he would not miss the change in Ye Qingxiao's expression. He felt distressed and helpless, and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, I have already told Chen Xi, but he did not give a clear answer."

Ye Qingxiao's eyelashes trembled slightly, her half-drooped eyelids slowly closed, and she said: "I'll wait for him here, you should go home first!"

Ye Youran moved her lips, but stopped again, and finally said after a while: "You haven't recovered from your illness, so don't let the wind blow, don't wait too long."

Ye Qingxiao smiled bitterly, and said: "Since I know who the murderer is, I must tell him, otherwise, how can I be willing..."

He knew that Ye Chenxi would never trust him again, but when he could still recover, he would spare no effort to try to recover, at least he would not regret not doing his best today in the future.

Think of it as giving yourself a reason to completely give up...

Ye Youran knew that she couldn't persuade Ye Qingxiao, so she could only salute and retreat, leaving a long string of footprints on the snow.All the dragon guards have long been hidden in the distance, today is windy and cold, and there are few pedestrians, only the plain white figure by the river embankment is left in the whole world, looking thin and lonely.

Although Ye Qingxiao was wearing a cloak, but after standing in the cold wind for a long time, her body gradually became stiff, and her nose turned red from the cold.His throat was itchy, and he couldn't help covering his lips and coughing violently, even his eyes were covered with water mist due to coughing.

There was another sound of footsteps behind her, Ye Qingxiao's body froze, holding back her cough, but she didn't dare to turn around easily, fearing that she would be disappointed again.

Ye Chenxi approached step by step, staring at the white figure trembling slightly in the wind without blinking, feeling pain like a needle prick in his heart.Dreaming back at midnight, there was always this figure and those hazy eyes of sadness and despair. He asked why over and over again in his dream, but he never got the answer. He always repeated this dream night after night, waking up. After coming, I sat on the couch, not daring to sleep again.

He doesn't need to avenge his own vengeance, but he can't forgive the vengeance of killing his mother. Even if he is unwilling to kill him, he can't pass the water without trace.

At this time, Ye Qingxiao had turned around slowly, her eyes were frighteningly bright as if suddenly encountering a strong light in the dark night, but the next moment, as if he remembered something, the light slowly went out again, leaving nothing behind. ember.

Ye Chenxi came to Ye Qingxiao with a handsome face that was colder than ice and snow, and there was an unconcealable hatred in his eyes, and his voice was like cutting ice and snow: "What else do you have to say?"

Ye Qingxiao's hands hidden in his sleeves suddenly tightened, but his expression did not change, he looked straight at Ye Chenxi without avoiding it, and said: "I know you won't believe anything I say now, but now that you know The truth, if I don’t tell it, I’m always not reconciled.”

"The truth?" Ye Chenxi snorted disdainfully, but said nothing.

Another gust of wind hit, Ye Qingxiao's pale face shook slightly, and his eyelashes trembled with the wind, but his eyes were extremely cold: "I will only say this once, whether you believe it or not, in the future I won't say it a second time. It was the uncle who killed the mother."

His haughty personality meant that he didn't bother to explain it. It was his limit to be able to do this. His arrogance didn't allow him to lower his body again and again to beg Ye Chenxi to believe him.In fact, he knew in his heart that if Ye Chenxi wanted to believe him, he would have believed him a long time ago. Today's meeting was just a reason for him to completely end this relationship.

Sure enough, after Ye Chenxi heard it, his originally cold face was filled with anger: "Ye Qingxiao! I didn't expect you to be so ridiculous. How could uncle kill mother? It's so ridiculous!"

"Yeah, I also think it's extremely ridiculous." Ye Qingxiao chuckled lightly, her voice was sad, the cold wind whizzed by her ears, as if mocking his unwillingness to give up, his voice lowered, every word was heartbroken: " So far, what is there to not give up..."

Ye Chenxi felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, and almost wanted to pull Ye Qingxiao into his arms, but he stopped abruptly after taking a step, staring at Ye Qingxiao with his eyes, without saying a word.

Ye Qingxiao coughed violently again, as if he was about to cough out his heart and lungs. Every time he coughed, Ye Chenxi felt like being pricked by a needle. Ye Chenxi clenched his teeth, making the coughing sound slow his heart.

When the cough gradually subsided, Ye Qingxiao's face was paler than the snow on the ground. Ye Chenxi's heart skipped a beat when she saw it, and she said coldly: "If you just want to talk about these things, then I'll go back first." .”

Before he turned around, a whisper came from his ear, the voice was hoarse after a severe cough, but it was very clear: "I wish to part with you."

Ye Chenxi's whole body shook, and he stopped turning around. At this moment, he suddenly felt very cold. His body, which was originally very resistant to cold, seemed unable to resist the cold after the snow. The chill soaked through every inch of his skin and spread to the bottom of his heart. , Even the ears are buzzing.

The cold wind blew up the snow on the ground, brushed their clothes, and fluttered like flowers in the sun, as if to burn their eyes.

Ye Qingxiao looked at Ye Chenxi with bright eyes like frost, her thin body stood upright in the cold wind, refusing to show any weakness.

Ye Chenxi's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to speak several times, but he pursed it back. After a while, he sneered, and said in a hateful voice: "That would be the best, from now on you follow your Yangguan way, and I will follow you." The single-plank bridge, we have nothing to do with each other!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

When Ye Chenxi's figure disappeared into the snow, Ye Qingxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, staggered, and quickly stabilized her body with the willow tree behind her.Seeing this, Qin Shinan, who was hidden in the distance, immediately rushed over to support him, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Ye Qingxiao closed her eyes for a moment, then gradually recovered, he shook his head lightly, brushed Qin Shinan's hand away, and said: "I'm fine, go back to the palace!"

Since this game has become an endgame, let's give up!Although heartbreaking...

Back then on Tianshan Mountain, he owed Ye Chenxi a life debt. Now, he will use his own method to repay Ye Chenxi, and he will remove that fatal hidden danger for Ye Chenxi. Although Ye Chenxi only hates him more deeply, he has no regrets .

☆, (22) dark bureau

The next day, Ye Qingxiao summoned Ke Shaoheng in Qingping Hall.After serving as an official for a year, although Ke Shaoheng still has his arrogance, he has become less youthful and appears more calm.

Although there were rumors of Ke Shaoheng's relationship with Ye Qingxiao in the imperial court, Ye Qingxiao's attitude towards Ke Shaoheng was flat this year, and he hardly summoned him in private, as if he had forgotten about him.But Ke Shaoheng always remembers Ye Qingxiao's kindness of knowledge and encounter, and works hard every day, repaying the king with a sincere heart.

Ke Shaoheng was very excited when Ye Qingxiao summoned him today, after saluting, Ye Qingxiao ordered him to take a seat, and he sat down on the wooden chair in an orderly manner, waiting for Ye Qingxiao's order.

"Since you became an official in the court, I have been ignoring you, do you have any resentment in your heart?" Ye Qingxiao asked gently as she looked at Ke Shaoheng's increasingly clear outline.

Ke Shaoheng heard the words and replied respectfully: "I don't complain."

What he said was decisive, his eyes were sincere, and there was no falsehood.

Ye Qingxiao was sitting upright, wearing a gold woven panlong suit and a gold jade amber rhinoceros belt. Although her appearance was haggard, she still looked very heroic. A gentle smile slowly appeared on his lips, and said: " I have deliberately neglected you this year to deceive others, because I have more important things for you to do, but this matter may be dangerous, so I will let you choose for yourself."

After hearing this, Ke Shaoheng left the wooden chair with a snap, knelt down without hesitation, and said in a firm tone, "I will not hesitate even if I am so heartbroken!"

Ye Qingxiao already knew Ke Shaoheng's character, so he saved it for this crucial moment. Seeing this, he immediately got up from the dragon chair, helped Ke Shaoheng up, and said, "Aiqing, please get up."

Having received such a courteous reception from the king, Ke Shaoheng was even more excited. After he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions, I will never refuse."

Hearing this, Ye Qingxiao's expression immediately became serious: "I'll tell you my love, Uncle Guo has been forming a party all these years for personal gain, selling private salt, and fish and meat. I want you to be Mingyang's supervisory censor, and secretly investigate the crimes of the uncle."

Ke Shaoheng has been an official for a long time, and he has heard about Du Bufan's actions for a long time, and he is even more disgusted. Now that he heard Ye Qingxiao's words, he suddenly felt a sense of common hatred and hatred, and replied respectfully: "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Ye Qingxiao exhorted: "You need to be cautious in this trip. Uncle Guo knows that you are appointed as Mingyang's supervisory censor, and he will force you to submit with soft and hard methods. You must remember not to confront him head-on."

Although Ke Shaoheng has an aloof personality, he still understands these principles. If he showed an attitude of wanting to investigate thoroughly from the beginning, he might be assassinated by the uncle within a few days after taking office. Du Bufan pretended to be a snake.

"Your Majesty's instruction, I will definitely keep in mind." This time Ke Shaoheng got up again and bowed respectfully to Ye Qingxiao with a dignified expression.

Next, Ye Qingxiao and Ke Shaoheng studied some possible situations that might arise during this trip, and then let him go back.

After Ke Shaoheng left, Ye Qingxiao looked out the window in a daze.The sun came out today, and the snow on the temple had gradually melted, but the chill was getting stronger. Although he was wearing a lot of clothes, he still felt the chill penetrate into his bones.

After taking this step, he determined his position of being hostile to Ye Chenxi. Although he did not have other choices, he still chose the most difficult path.He could already imagine how Dongyue would be turned upside down the moment Ke Shaoheng returned to Beijing.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Since the death of Concubine Long, the atmosphere in Prince Kang's mansion has been like a tight string, making people breathless. The servants walked on thin ice, and Ye Chenxi practiced sword all day long until she was too tired to move a finger anymore.

Today, Ye Chenxi chose the place to practice swords at the back mountain. Facing the eyes full of greenery and listening to the flowing water playing the zither, he couldn't feel any pleasure. His handsome face was soaked in frost, his lips were tightly pressed, and the long sword in his hand was shining. Cold people.

Following Ye Chenxi's dancing, the surrounding branches and leaves swayed and fell one after another.Su Shiqing stood not far away, watching Ye Chenxi venting like an angry lion all day long, but getting more and more depressed day by day, he couldn't help worrying, but there was nothing he could do.

It wasn't until a guard came to report that Uncle Guo asked to see him that Ye Chenxi put away his sword, took the sweat towel handed over by Su Shiqing, wiped his sweat and said, "Please come here."

Su Shiqing immediately ordered someone to put a pot of hot tea and several plates of snacks on the stone table in the gazebo.After a while, Du Bufan strode in, saluted Ye Chenxi, and sat opposite him.

In the gazebo, the tea is fragrant and the smoke is misty. Several exquisite snacks are placed in the middle of the stone table, which look very delicious.Ye Chenxi took a few sips from the teacup before saying, "Uncle, do you have something to say?"

Du Bufan looked at Ye Chenxi's increasingly thin face and asked, "What's your Highness's plan going forward?"

Ye Chenxi remained silent. Although he hated Ye Qingxiao, if he really wanted to kill Ye Qingxiao to avenge his mother, he couldn't do it.Because of this, he has always been ashamed of his mother in his heart, and all kinds of emotions are rolling in his heart day and night, making him miserable.

Du Bufan didn't wait for his answer, and said angrily: "Now that things have happened, does His Highness still care about the brotherhood? Are you worthy of your mother?"

Ye Chenxi's hand holding the teacup trembled, and a few drops of green tea soup spilled out of the cup and landed on the stone table.He put down the teacup in his hand and said: "This king will never forget the revenge of killing his mother, but now that the overall situation has been settled, and the strong neighbors are watching. If there is civil strife in Dongyue and the common people suffer from fire again, this king will become Dongyue's eternity." sinner."

Du Bufan carefully observed Ye Chenxi's expression, and seeing that he was unmoved, he hated iron in his heart: "If you can't break it, you can't stand it. Now that Ye Qingxiao has shown you the butcher knife, how can you just sit and wait for death?"

Ye Chenxi snorted coldly when she heard the words: "Forgive him for not daring to deal with me!"

"Your Highness! Back then, Ye Qingxiao was transferred to Anding. The late emperor obviously wanted you to inherit the throne, but Ye Qingxiao tricked you into harming you, which made you miss the throne. Now you get back what you deserve. Why not?" The more Du Bufan said, the more excited he became: "Now you have also seen that first Jianhua, then Chen, and then your mother, who is planning to get rid of the forces around you step by step, and finally will come to you. You've done it."

Ye Chenxi was disturbed when he heard that, although he felt that Ye Qingxiao's original intention was not like this, but now, he had to re-establish his own power to protect himself, so as not to be helpless in future confrontations.

He sighed softly and said, "Uncle, this king is telling you the truth. As the emperor, this king is indeed not as good as the emperor's brother. Although he is sorry for this king, he cares about the country. If necessary, he would rather give up his life than take responsibility for it." But this king has a free and easy temperament and likes to be unrestrained. Since the emperor's brother ascended the throne, this king has seen those rotten scholars often crying in front of the palace gate, saying what is the way of the king. This king is really tired. How can I go Be this emperor?"

Although Du Bufan already understood what Ye Chenxi was thinking, as long as Ye Chenxi and Ye Qingxiao broke up, he would always have a way to make Ye Chenxi ascend to the throne step by step, so he calmed down and persuaded: "Having said that, it is necessary to be defensive. His Highness has broken with Ye Qingxiao now. Naturally, he will no longer care about brotherhood. His Highness must make preparations early."

"Of course." After Ye Chenxi finished speaking, she noticed Du Bufan's expression of hesitation, she suddenly realized in her heart, and quickly said: "Don't worry, this king will definitely keep Jianhua."

Now that the breakup has been broken, he has no scruples anymore. Although he understands Ye Qingxiao's painstaking efforts, his heart is more affectionate. Du Bufan watched him grow up and followed him without hesitation. Now his mother has passed away. No matter what, he should keep Du Jianhua.

Du Bufan got Ye Chenxi's guarantee, and his uneasy heart finally calmed down. His haggard old face showed a look of excitement, and even his eyes were tearful: "Thank you, Your Highness! I will go to contact your Highness's cronies."

Just when Du Bufan was about to salute and leave, Ye Chenxi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "No matter what uncle will do in the future, please remember not to make me bear the name of killing my brother."

Du Bufan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he never thought that Ye Chenxi would save Ye Qingxiao's life at such a time, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only respond bluntly: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he bowed stiffly and stepped back, disappearing into the green vegetation.

Ye Chenxi sat alone in the gazebo, staring blankly at the green tea soup. In a daze, she seemed to see the handsome face of the man under the light again, and those whispers seemed to still be in her ears.He has a free and easy temperament, but he is only obsessed with that person, and he promised his life easily, but he ended up like this.He didn't know whether to laugh at himself or at fate, but at this moment, he still had to take his life into consideration.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing at myself, that laughter seemed particularly sad in the empty mountains and forests.

_______________________________________________________________________________

A few days later, Ye Qingxiao ordered Ke Shaoheng to supervise the censor for Mingyang, but this decree did not cause much commotion, and the officials only thought that Ye Qingxiao wanted to hone the number one scholar.Although Du Bufan was secretly vigilant, Ke Shaoheng has been traveling around since he took office, obsessed with writing operas and poems.Du Qiguang tried many times and found that although Ke Shaoheng was talented, he didn't like to do practical things.Over time, Du Bufan relaxed his vigilance.

The Beijing officials gradually discovered that since the death of Concubine Long, the relationship between His Majesty and King Kang has not been as good as before. Because King Kang has no actual position, he has never been required to go to court, but he used to often go to the palace, and even ran away. You must be more diligent than the Beijing officials in the last dynasty.

Now King Kang's figure has disappeared in the palace, and His Majesty will no longer summon him.What is even more disturbing is that Kang Wang, who had been thanking guests behind closed doors, began to contact the old party in a high-profile way, with arrogance.

This weird atmosphere revealed a dangerous signal to the Beijing officials. Some people are worried about the current situation, some are secretly happy for the opportunity, and some are secretly wondering where to stand. There is a turbulent atmosphere in the court. .

☆, (23) dead remonstrance

When the atmosphere in the DPRK and China was strange, Du Jianhua's case was handed over to the three courts for joint trial.What Du Jianhua did was witnessed by Ye Qingxiao with her own eyes, and Ye Qingxiao had hinted that she would kill others to warn others. Logically, the case should be settled soon, but because Ye Chenxi secretly intervened in this matter, there was an endless stream of people pleading for Du Jianhua. , Even the people in the three law divisions have different opinions, and they have been unable to agree for a long time.

Just when Ye Qingxiao was furious, he received a secret letter from Zeng Hanyao from the military department to impeach Loss for suppressing the imperial edict when Dongyue Renjia sent troops to Mingyang to quell the rebellion in 24 years.

Regarding that matter, Ye Qingxiao knew about it. Dongyue had always valued civility over martial arts, and went out with generals, but they fought against the DPRK every day, often delaying the opportunity to fight.At that time, Luo Si led [-] troops to surround the rebel army in the Long River Valley of Mingyang. The rebel army had been besieged for half a month, had no food, and their morale was low. Seeing that victory was imminent, the rebel army sent people to bribe the uncle and concubine Long , pretending to surrender, intending to counterattack when the officers and soldiers are unprepared after leaving the valley.

Concubine Long and Uncle Guo took bribes, persuaded Ye Zongxi, and ordered to accept the surrender.Ross studied the rebels for a long time, and put eyeliner around the rebels, knowing that they did not really surrender.

At that time, the imperial decree had arrived, and resisting the decree was a death penalty, but failing to resist the decree would delay the fighter plane and cause casualties.With nothing to do, Ross secretly told the envoys who delivered the edict his interests, and finally persuaded the envoys, pretending that the edict had not arrived, and Ross hurriedly led troops into the mountains to destroy the rebels.

Luo Si is Ye Qingxiao's confidant, so of course Ye Qingxiao couldn't hide this matter, and Ye Chenxi was in charge of the military department at that time, so he couldn't hide it from Ye Chenxi, but Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi acquiesced in this matter.Although Ye Chenxi has lost his memory now, it is not difficult to find out again. Now, in order to save Du Jianhua, he has to turn over the old score.

When Ye Qingxiao saw the secret book, her heart was full of shock and anger, mixed with unrecoverable pain.He knew that in order to save Ross, he had to give in.

That night, Ye Qingxiao went to Kang Wang's Mansion, and Ye Chenxi was already waiting in the main room. He stood proudly under the ink painting, dressed in white as snow, but arrogant like a wild horse, with indifference and aloofness in his eyes, like God on high.He raised his eyebrows and watched Ye Qingxiao walk in step by step, their eyes met, but they were no longer as gentle as before.

Ye Qingxiao came in front of Ye Chenxi, her eyes were as deep as a pool of water, her contours were similar, and her momentum remained undiminished: "I read that secret book, how do you treat it?"

When Ye Chenxi heard the word "Zhen", he felt his heart was fried, but the matter was irreversible, so even though his heart ached, he just didn't care, looked at Ye Qingxiao indifferently, and said: "I thought you should understand."

Ye Qingxiao seemed to be burned by the indifference in Ye Chenxi's eyes, her eyelids were half drooped, and she said, "You want to change your life?"

Ye Chenxi snorted coldly: "You don't have to change it if you don't want to, just let Ross be buried with Jianhua."

Ye Qingxiao trembled slightly when he heard the words, but he quickly stabilized his mind, remained silent for a while, and finally gave in: "Okay, I promise you to save Du Jianhua's life."

This answer was expected by Ye Chenxi, so even if he heard the answer, he didn't feel any emotion.There was an embarrassing silence in the main room.

After a moment of relative silence, Ye Qingxiao was about to turn around and leave, but heard Ye Chenxi's voice ringing in her ears: "Don't try to trick uncle, or I won't let you go."

Ye Qingxiao's heart trembled, the weather had already warmed up, but he felt cold all over his body. He looked back at Ye Chenxi, his eyes were dimmed due to the intense suppression of his emotions, and his voice was somewhat cold: "People If you do a lot of evil, you will have your own death."

After finishing speaking, he was about to walk away, but Ye Chenxi grabbed his wrist, and Ye Chenxi's annoyed voice came from his ear: "Don't force me!"

"I also want to say something, don't force me..." When they waded through the long river of time, they found that the scenery on the other side was no longer what it was then.Although he already knew that his uncle was no longer the uncle who took him to see Phoenix, but he never thought that his uncle's face would be so hideous now.If he didn't act again, the final outcome of him and Ye Chenxi could only be that one of them saw the other's body.

After finishing speaking, Ye Qingxiao shook off Ye Chenxi's hand, and walked away without looking back, her figure gradually disappeared into the long night.

Ye Chenxi kept watching his back, watching the white clothes gradually fade away as they were smudged with black by the night.He waved his hand angrily to sweep away the teacup on the desk, letting the hot tea juice splash everywhere, and his palm was also burnt red.

He could already foresee what kind of turmoil would be in the court in the future, and they inevitably reached this point in the end.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Due to the different opinions of the three judiciaries on the case of Du Jianhua, they had to submit their own opinions, and the request was pending.In the end, Ye Qingxiao waved his hand, and Du Jianhua was dismissed from office, never to be employed again.Thus, the case of Du Jianhua, which was once a turmoil, came to an end.

Since then, Ye Qingxiao has often summoned Li Juqi, and people of insight understand that Ye Qingxiao intends to use Li Juqi to guard the Eastern Frontier, but he has not made an order for so long because Li Juqi wrote that earth-shattering article, which deeply moved Ye Qingxiao.Ye Qingxiao was anxious to change the system, so she left Li Juqi to deal with those old-fashioned and corrupt scholars in the court.

Now that Ye Qingxiao frequently summons Li Juqi, it is a signal that he wants to reform the system. Some people in the court are happy and others are worried. The various parties often discuss countermeasures in private to cope with the changes in the court.

In July, Ye Qingxiao finally announced the restructuring, raised the status of generals, withdrew all civilian officials who supervised the army abroad, and allowed generals to adapt to local conditions during wartime, without having to wait for the Ministry of War's order.As soon as this decree came out, there was boiling everywhere in the court, memorials of dissuasion flew like snowflakes, Ye Qingxiao was almost drowned by the officials' saliva.

Needless to say, the Uncle Guo faction, he coveted Ye Qingxiao's throne wholeheartedly, so how could he allow Ye Qingxiao to do something extraordinary?And although Ye Chenxi has been away from the court for three years, the Ministry of War is still under his control after all. Reforming the system is equivalent to weakening the power of the Ministry of War, so he will not agree.

Not only the Uncle Guo faction disagreed, but even Li Keqi and others who were loyal to Ye Qingxiao also disagreed, writing a memorial overnight to dissuade her.This group of people's opposition is not out of selfishness, but because since the founding of the country, the ancestral system is like a mountain pressing on every emperor's head, and revising the ancestral system is a treasonous act. They think it is the result of Ye Qingxiao's youthful arrogance To the end, he was afraid that he would cause public anger and shake the foundation of Dongyue.

Although Ye Qingxiao understands their intentions, but making noises in the court hall every day, and facing the whole pile of memorials scolding him after the court, it is really frustrating.These days, there have been an endless stream of ministers begging to see Ye Qingxiao, and some ministers even knelt outside the palace gate in order to dissuade him. However, this young emperor has a firm attitude. Anyone who wants to kneel can let him go. He was brought back to the mansion for medical treatment, and a large number of supplements were sent from the palace, but he refused to give up the reform.

Someone saw that Ye Qingxiao refused to compromise, so they went to persuade Li Juqi.Li Juqi was even worse. He listened to the ministers who came to dissuade him from crying for a long time, then rushed over and drew out the saber hanging on the wall, and said helplessly: "I have received the favor of the emperor, and I dare not bear it. Today, everyone is oppressing each other, and the lower official can only die to thank the world."

After saying that, he was about to wipe his neck, and the frightened group of tearful ministers rushed over to grab their swords. After appeasing Li Juqi, he left in a hurry, and no one dared to come to persuade him again.

During this period of time, when the ministers showed off their rhetoric, almost all the memorials were cursing, one was scolding Ye Qingxiao, the other was scolding Li Juqi, the sharpness of the words was astonishing, almost made Ye Qingxiao think that she was a rare one in all ages Faint king.

What is even more amazing is that Li Juqi is not only Ye Qingxiao's confidant, but also Ye Chenxi's confidant. When he went to court, he fought for Ye Qingxiao with his officials, but after he came down to court, he often discussed the mountains and rivers of East Vietnam with Ye Chenxi The terrain, as well as the battle in the sand table, were very speculative.

This incident has been going on for more than a month, and they couldn't stop arguing. Later, the officials gathered at the Qingtian Gate and cried. , crying loudly, Ye Qingxiao issued several imperial edicts to appease, but they refused to leave, insisting that Ye Qingxiao give up the restructuring.

Du Bufan lay down in the crying crowd, crying heartbreakingly, and occasionally said a few provocative words to stir up the officials, keeping them in high spirits.Li Juqi also rushed to hear the news and urged the officials to go home, but it was in vain.

Until dusk, seeing that the officials refused to retreat, Ye Qingxiao finally came to Qingtianmen.He is wearing a black suit, with the sun and moon embroidered on his shoulders and a jade dragon on his waist. He comes with the setting sun behind his back, looking very dignified.

Seeing this, the officials immediately shouted long live, but they continued to cry after they finished shouting, with tears flowing freely.

Ye Qingxiao only felt a dull pain in the forehead. Since Concubine Long's accident, he had never slept soundly, and his body was getting weaker and weaker.The restructuring is obviously beneficial to Dongyue, but the ministers have their own considerations and tried their best to stop him. He has been struggling so far, but he feels exhausted.

Li Keqi climbed up in front of Ye Qingxiao and cried, "Your Majesty... the ancestral system cannot be changed easily... Once changed, there will be endless troubles. Please take it back."

Ye Qingxiao sighed softly, and persuaded: "Aiqing, go back to the mansion first! I have thought about it myself."

After the ministers listened, a few more people crawled over, calling His Majesty repeatedly, weeping uncontrollably.

Li Keqi said with a sad expression: "Your Majesty, I know that those who stop the restructuring are not all for the sake of Dongyue... But please listen to me, Your Majesty's Yuyu is getting weaker, and the foundation is not stable... If you insist on doing it, I'm afraid someone will Taking the opportunity to stir up trouble...to threaten His Majesty..."

Before Ye Qingxiao could answer, he said again: "Your Majesty is admonishing you with your words, and I ask your Majesty to take it back..." After finishing speaking, Li Keqi suddenly stood up and rushed forward without hesitation. The stone pillar facing the Qingtian Gate suddenly burst into blood, and the blood stained the stone pillar red, which was shocking.

"Ai Qing!" When Ye Qingxiao came to his senses, Li Keqi's body had slipped to the ground, blood was running from his forehead, even staining his official uniform red.Ye Qingxiao rushed over to hug his body. At this moment, he had already exhaled more breath than breathed in, but he held Ye Qingxiao's sleeve tightly, panting and said: "Your Majesty...please...listen to my words... "

After saying that, his head tilted, and the hand holding onto Ye Qingxiao's sleeve gradually slipped off, obviously he had died.Ye Qingxiao probed for his breath with trembling fingers, and then she froze.

The officials were stunned for a moment, and then cried again, the chaotic crying made Ye Qingxiao's headache split.

After Li Keqi's remonstrance, even if Ye Qingxiao was unwilling, she had to temporarily give up the restructuring.Although Li Keqi is somewhat pedantic, he is loyal to him.Ye Qingxiao lost her loyal minister, and she looked even more haggard. She didn't want to make any more entanglements, so she ordered the guards behind her: "Send Master Li back to the mansion, and give him a proper burial."

After the guards were ordered to carry Li Keqi away, Ye Qingxiao glanced at the crying ministers on the ground, with a tired look on his face: "Let's stop the matter of system reform, all the relatives should go back to the residence first!"

When the ministers heard the words, they suddenly felt as if a long drought met nectar, and they said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Then they supported each other to leave the Qingtian Gate. Only Li Juqi was still standing there, looking at the king standing motionless under the gatepost. Even though he was separated by more than ten steps, he could still feel the suppressed sadness and frustration. , and unspeakable loneliness.

☆, (24) Red Flame Burning Love

That night, Ye Qingxiao stood in front of the Qingtian Gate, and personally washed away the blood of loyal ministers stained on the gatepost with strong wine. For a moment, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of wine filled the vicinity of the Qingtian Gate, but Ye Qingxiao was completely unaware of it. He felt that he was leaning on the other side of the doorpost to drink, holding a jug in his hand.

Over the past few days, he has been troubled one after another, almost making him breathless. With this country on his shoulders, it feels like he is facing an abyss.He used to have great ambitions, rectify the administration of officials and reform the system, and wanted to remove the cancer of Dongyue step by step, but he couldn't make it.The ideal peaceful and prosperous world seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and he was deeply trapped in that sense of powerlessness, hurt and exhausted.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching from far away, Ye Qingxiao turned her face, and saw Mo Yichen and Ye Youran walking slowly under the moonlight, the two had picturesque eyebrows, their clothes were swaying, and they looked a little fairy-like under the dim light. Spiritual Qi.

They came to Ye Qingxiao and saluted respectfully, Ye Qingxiao waved his hand lightly to signal that they don't need to be too polite, then raised his head and took another sip of wine, remaining silent.

Mo Yichen glanced at the blood on the ground that had been diluted by spirits. The blood reflected a cold light under the soft moonlight, and his nose was filled with a strong smell of wine and blood, which made his stomach ache. Stomach a little sick.But looking at the king who was leaning on the doorpost to drink, he couldn't help feeling pity, walked over slowly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't drink too much."

Ye Qingxiao raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Yichen, with an unconcealable loss and frustration in her eyes: "When I ascended the throne, I was so ambitious that I thought the whole world was under my feet, but now, I have ruled Yuyu for several years, but I have achieved nothing. .I am ashamed to the people of the world..."

Mo Yichen felt a pain in his heart when he heard the words, and gently grabbed the wine pot in Ye Qingxiao's hand, and said: "There are thousands of things in the world, some systems have been in use for a long time, and the accumulation is hard to return. , Encountering obstacles is inevitable. Your Majesty is the father of a dynasty, and the common people rely on him to look up to you, so don't be discouraged."

After Ye Qingxiao heard this, the frustration in her heart eased a little, and she said: "A word of kindness warms the winter, how lucky I am to be able to be supported by dust."

Mo Yichen raised his lips slightly, his smile was as light as a lotus, and it made people wash away like a warm spring: "Your Majesty treats his ministers as soldiers of the state, and I can't repay you. I only hope that life and death will accompany you."

Ye Qingxiao was very grateful that he exchanged an arrow for Mo Yichen's loyalty. Over the years, he has overcome countless thorns, and Mo Yichen has always been with him through life and death as he said.

After a few conversations between the monarch and his ministers, the originally oppressive atmosphere gradually eased, and Ye Youran took the opportunity to step forward and persuade: "Your Majesty, reform is the law to strengthen the country. Although the court officials cannot accept it for a while, your Majesty Their efforts are not completely useless. After this incident, they are already mentally prepared and will also think carefully about the feasibility of this method. Your Majesty will compromise for the time being, and given time, the system will be successfully restructured."

Ye Qingxiao also understood that everything should not be rushed, so she pressed the center of her eyebrows and sighed: "I understand, I will patiently wait for the time to come."

Ye Youran breathed a sigh of relief, helped Ye Qingxiao up, and said: "It's getting late, I will help you go back to the palace to rest!"

Ye Qingxiao was already exhausted after a day of tossing around, but now that she relaxes, the stamina of the spirits starts to kick in.
