Save my wife all over the world

Chapter 19 The Emperor and the Empress (8)

============================

On the day of the birthday banquet, nobles in Beijing and envoys from various countries received the imperial edict to enter the palace to attend the banquet.

The palace has already made complete preparations, and this is also the grandest palace banquet since the founding of the country.

Apart from birthday celebrations, the main purpose of Emperor Gu's grand arrangement of the banquet this time is to completely push Gu Zhong to the front of the screen, so that all countries will be familiar with the new royal highness.

It can be said that after today, Mrs. Gu Zhong will be as stable as Mount Tai. As long as she does not do anything against her, she will be the next emperor in good name when Emperor Gu Yulong is buried in heaven.

The banquet started. Gu Zhong was dressed in a black crown and stood on the jade steps in front of the palace, celebrating Emperor Gu's birthday, with a calm and dignified appearance.

After the princess retired, she was supposed to celebrate her birthday in the order of the royal family, the kingdoms, and the officials, but today there was an unexpected guest in the hall.

"On behalf of my teaching, I would like to present the most sincere blessings to His Majesty. The witch god blesses me, and I wish to be with this dynasty forever, and I hope His Majesty will remember the old oath."

A woman wearing a white bone mask and a gilded lace witch costume folded her hands in front of her chest and bowed slightly to Emperor Gu, but she never bowed down. Four people behind her supported a statue of a witch god made of pure gold.

Ling Yan caught a glimpse of Gu Zhong's palms slightly curled up, and knew that she was angry, but her face couldn't tell the difference.

Gu Di was not angry at this disrespectful behavior in the eyes of ordinary people, but stood up to greet him.

"I didn't expect the great witch Zhu to come to congratulate me in person. I've neglected you."

Following Gu Di's words, Ling Yan shifted his gaze to the woman standing in the center of the hall, the great witch Zhu of the Witch Cult, who seemed to have real power in the Cult.

She took a few glances, only to feel a faint sense of familiarity with the other person, and she couldn't help frowning.

The big witch wished the celebration was over, and turned back to the table, as if she sensed that someone was watching, she looked over like a torch, and then moved away nonchalantly.

Ling Yan was stunned. When the great witch Zhu looked over just now, those eyes were so dark that they were so deep that they seemed to encompass everything in the universe. They were so familiar... Where did she see them... But she thought about it for a while. Can't get up.

The birthday banquet ended without any omissions or unexpected events.

On the contrary, one month after the birthday banquet ended, Emperor Gu fell ill inexplicably and fell into a coma without warning. poisoned.

Gu Zhong was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation of Da Nei, but only turned upside down, and only found out some things about the servants' pocketing, or Gu Di suddenly woke up one day, and asked Zhao Zhao to send a message to Gu Zhong to say She stopped.

In the days that followed, Emperor Gu sometimes woke up and sometimes fell into a coma. When he was awake, he summoned his two daughters to Yuqian to give orders, and no one knew what he said.

The early court did not stop for a day, Gu Zhong gradually grasped the real power of the regent and supervised the country, at first there were some rumors that it was the empress who poisoned Emperor Gu, and even spread to Emperor Gu's ears.

In order to protect Gu Zhong, Gu Di forced his sick body to show up once in the early morning, only to quell the rumors.

Gu Di's health was deteriorating and never improved, the festivities in the palace were no longer there, everyone's faces were gloomy and gloomy, and their words were much softer.

Ling Yan found out with horror that if the original story had been followed, the timing of Gu Di's collapse now coincided with the time period when he was mad at the death of his two daughters, but now there were some changes in the middle, Gu Zhong's big wedding was postponed, There is no drama of fratricide.

Then Gu Di's death is an inviolable destiny?

... Or is it not as simple as it seems?

A generation of heroes and founding emperors, after all, failed to survive the spring of the next year, and passed away on a night when heavy snow fell all over Xijing.

The death knell of the king's funeral was heard far away accompanied by the howling north wind.

As usual, under the three invitations of all the ministers, the young princess accepted the enthronement, and the enthronement ceremony will be held after the sacrifice to the spirit.

The new emperor came to the throne, named Tiancheng, the first emperor asked himself to be filial piety for three years before his death, and postponed the wedding.

Qinghe Wang Chunxiao was overwhelmed with grief and weak in body, so he stayed in Beijing.

Hearing Gu Zhong's decree, Ling Yan suddenly felt lighthearted. Three months is enough for the emperor to perform filial piety, which is the same as the folk practice for three years. On the one hand, it is natural that Gu Zhong has deep feelings for Gu Emperor, on the other hand...

Ling Yan guessed with a hint of selfishness that Gu Zhong was unwilling to marry Chen Moxian.

Now that Gu Zhong is already an emperor, there is no need for some grievances, vain and submissive actions in the past, since the aristocratic family has not recovered from the events of last year, now is the time to take advantage of the victory and pursue.

After a few days, Gu Zhong issued several edicts, raising all the trusted officials of the Eastern Palace to positions of real power, and all the suspicious people mentioned by Ling Yan were abandoned by her.

Ling Yan was appointed prime minister, and became the head of the three lords. Chen Moxian also waited for a rare conversion, and was officially promoted to the rank of court lieutenant.

Even though there is a estrangement in his heart, Gu Zhong still trusts her as always. For a moment, Ling Yan didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

"His Majesty…"

In Shang's study room, Ling Yan looked at Gu Zhong who was concentrating on watching the memorial at the table, and couldn't help calling out in distress.

Just two months after she ascended the throne, she had lost weight visibly to the naked eye, and her whole body was quite emaciated.

"His Majesty?"

Seeing that Gu Zhong should not respond, she called again.

"Sir? Gu... I didn't react for a while."

Only then did Gu Zhong lift it up, and after a moment of trance, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Perhaps I've been working too hard recently, Your Majesty should take care of your health."

"...Father, he is no longer here..."

Gu Zhong stared blankly at her, and said a word out of nowhere.

Ling Yan's heart twitched, and he couldn't help taking a few steps, but after he realized it, he restrained himself and stood still.

"Your Majesty's condolences..."

Besides, what else can she say, and what position does she have to say?The difference between monarch and minister is like a gap.

Gu Zhong lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes covered the disappointment and tiredness in his eyes.

"Sir, what do you think of the family and witchcraft?"

"This world belongs to His Majesty. Today is no longer the era when the aristocratic family shared the world with the emperor a hundred years ago, and no sect is allowed to use the righteousness of the gods to override the monarchy."

Ling Yan knew that this was the main purpose of Gu Zhong sending her here today, so he also sent out the palace attendants.

"In the past few years, my master asked me to plan it slowly and take a long-term plan. In the past two years, I have borrowed a little bit of wind, and the aristocratic family has completely hidden its edge. It is already in the state of twilight. I wonder if it is time?"

Although Gu Zhong was asking a question, it was filled with firm determination that couldn't wait.

"Boil it in warm water, Your Majesty must not rush it."

"Sir, do you have a clever plan?"

"First open up the equalization of the land, then amend the law, and then abolish elections. From then on, the monarchy will be unified."

"Good, just do as you said. As for witchcraft, I want to push the ban."

"Your Majesty, matters of religion are becoming more intense as they stop, and Beiling is a lesson from the past. Only by supporting Buddhism and Taoism can conflicts between doctrines be effective."

"...do as you say."

"Tomorrow in the court, the officials will play the matter of equalizing the land."

"Why didn't I give the order directly?" Gu Zhong frowned in confusion.

"It will appear that His Majesty is arbitrary, please cherish your reputation.

What's more, verbal wars in the court are indispensable, so it's better to let the ministers bring it up. "

"...Okay, I'll leave it to Mr.

In the first year of Tiancheng, Prime Minister Ling Yan made a performance, suggesting that the ritual system should be re-established, the land should be measured, and the land equalization should be reopened.

The new emperor allowed it, and called the Hongwen Museum to rewrite the law and revise the code.

Order all places to hold Dao discussion conferences to spread the teachings of various religions, and present the whole story of the Dao discussion to the emperor's desk.

In an instant, a stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the world was in an uproar.

No one expected that the new emperor, who hadn't sat on the dragon chair yet, dared to start a new policy.

All of a sudden, the opposition memorials flew like snowflakes, filling the Shang study room, but Gu Zhong didn't even take a look at it, and let someone burn it.

"Sister Huang! Why don't you discuss with me about such a big matter?"

Gu Zhong was discussing the implementation with Ling Yan that day, so Gu Yang rushed in.

"Now Ayang, don't you know..."

Gu Zhong sighed.

"If I knew, I wouldn't let Huangjie make such a will indiscriminately." Gu Yang said angrily.

"Presumptuous! Do you need to agree to what I want to make?"

Gu Zhong slammed the memorial in his hand onto the table.

"Sister Huang, you know that the matter is of great importance. The aristocratic family is half the foundation of the world, so it can't be easily moved?"

"What you want, I can't think of it? But opening an equal farmland, it looks like half your life will be killed, and the election will be abolished in the future, and the imperial examination will be greatly promoted. Are you going to fight for my life?"

"What? Miss Huang still wants to take the imperial examination?"

Gu Yang was really shocked, "How can the aristocratic family not create chaos with such a drastic move?"

"That's why I didn't order at this time." Gu Zhong glared at her.

"Why does Huangjie have to move the family at this time? Yang knows that Huangjie is worried, but this matter cannot be resolved within one generation, so why not take it slow?"

"First delay for three years, then another three years, slow back and forth, but is there anyone else to do it?

Look at the father again, he left suddenly, and no one picked up the good start. Isn't it rare for the spring to be at peace?

Needless to say, the New Deal is imperative. If I don't even have the courage to be the No. 1, what is an emperor or a king?

Go out, I have important matters to discuss with the prime minister, don't bother me. "

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhong impatiently waved Gu Yang away.

After Ling Yan and Gu Zhong agreed on the detailed rules, when they walked out of Shang's study room, they saw a sculpture standing upright in the corridor beside it.

"The prince is waiting for His Majesty?"

"No, the king is waiting for the prime minister."

It was the first time that Gu Yang spoke to Ling Yan so coldly.

"I don't know what the prince has to teach?" Ling Yan was a little surprised.

"Seeing that I can't be a teacher, I just asked the prime minister to explain my doubts to the king. Why did the imperial sister have a whim to implement the new policy?"

"...what does your lord think?"

Ling Yan smiled dumbly, Gu Yang wanted to blame her for the reason.

"Someone must be bewitching!"

These few words were resounding, as if they had drawn some conclusions.

"As the prince said."

Ling Yan was still smiling, casually agreeing.

Gu Yang was silent for a moment, then took a step back, straightly bowed to Ling Yan, Ling Yan hurriedly stepped aside.After Gu Yang got up, he looked at her with a complicated expression, and left with a sigh.

The sentence just now is the fact that King Qinghe witnessed, the fact after the failure of the New Deal.

Mingde's king is not allowed to have flaws, and one person needs to bear all the consequences of failure, such as the anger of the family and the cause of the war.

When Ling Yan proposed to Gu Zhong that she should perform, she had already left this path.

On these issues, Gu Zhong did not see it as thoroughly as Gu Yang.

Perhaps, she never thought about the result of failure.

Report to the king on the gold platform, and support the jade dragon to die for the king.Adhere to the way of the monarch and ministers, except for this body, it is useless.
