The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

As the dust of the crown prince position settled, the situation in the court was undergoing another reshuffle.

The former princeling officials often gave advice to the former prince to assassinate the current prince.

Now it is natural to settle accounts after autumn, and it is inevitable that there will be another big purge that will cause quite a stir.

For a moment, people in the court were in panic, but those with a clear conscience clapped their hands and cheered.

These moths have harmed the imperial court and the common people for so long, and now they are really getting their revenge!

For the truly loyal people in the court, King Ning's becoming the crown prince allowed them to see the hope of the country and the country, and only then did they reaffirm their original intention to serve as officials.

Create peace for all generations and seek welfare for the people.

And now His Highness the Crown Prince is undoubtedly a benevolent and righteous king.

They are willing to follow such people to the death, work hard, and never regret it even if they die nine times!

Spring passes and autumn comes, autumn passes and winter solstice comes,

A year flies by.

This year, many things happened -

Emperor Qingping's health was deteriorating day by day. No one was afraid of death, including emperors. However, whether because of illness or because he was really overwhelmed by fear and lost his mind, Emperor Qingping actually began to take pills in an attempt to prolong his life.

The prince tried to persuade him once or twice, but Emperor Qingping not only refused to listen, but became furious and accused the prince of having ulterior motives.

His good intentions were not rewarded, so the prince angrily returned to the East Palace and never said a word from then on.

In this way, Emperor Qingping, who was already suffering from ailments, became worse and worse under the catalysis of the elixir.

On the day of winter solstice,

Emperor Qingping, who had lived a mediocre half of his life, finished his life at the age of fifty-one.

When the monarch dies, all subjects must observe filial piety;

The marriage of Jiang Heng and Meng Xian, which was originally scheduled for next spring, naturally had to be postponed.

Because of the emperor's death, this year's Spring Festival, both inside and outside the palace, was much deserted than before.

The faces of the ministers and the people all looked sad and sorrowful.

In fact, when I go back to my own home, I still have to live my life the same way.

-

Just like this, in the late spring of March, according to the original schedule, it was supposed to be a great joy for the Jiang and Meng families, but now they can only have a small gathering.

Meng Yuan comforted his two children, "Good things come in hard times."

Meng Wan: "How long do you plan to observe mourning, Your Majesty? If you observe mourning for three years..."

If she kept her mourning for three years, wouldn't her marriage with Mo Gao be delayed forever?

She had never had a good impression of the imperial court, and even less so of the previous emperor; so the death of the emperor was less important to Meng Wan than whether her skin color was good or not recently.

Jiang Heng, who knew the new emperor's temperament best, said slowly: "I don't think the emperor will observe mourning for three years."

Meng Qi: "But the longer the emperor observes filial piety, the more he can gain a good reputation as a benevolent and filial piety. This is extremely important for the new emperor who has just ascended the throne..."

Jiang Heng shook his head slightly, "Second sister, who's mouth does the emperor want to block when he needs to do this?"

Meng Qi said without thinking, "Of course it's the group of literati and officials. Day by day, they are either impeaching someone or impeaching someone else. If someone else's slightest mistake falls into their mouth, it is considered disloyal and unjust."

Jiang Heng smiled slightly, "But the late emperor never had a good reputation among the literati."

Emperor Qingping had been mediocre for most of his life, and had been controlled by his relatives for many years. If he had not had two sons who were worthy of the vassal, he would have become a puppet emperor.

Everything has been witnessed by the courtiers and experienced by the people, and no one can fool anyone.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and slowly understood the meaning.

With Emperor Qingping's reputation, even if the new emperor observes filial piety for a year, I'm afraid no one will accuse the new emperor of being unfilial;

What's more, if the whole country observes filial piety...

No one can live a normal life, and even if they have a drink, they might be included in the book.

Lord Jiang stroked his long beard and said, "Your Majesty has your own judgment on what exactly is going on. Please don't speculate."

Meng Yuan smiled heartily, "Brother, you have become the head of the state, but you are still so cautious."

Marquis Jiang: "The beauty of the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Now that the Jiang family has become a relative, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching overtly or covertly. It can be said that you can't be too careful."

Jiang Heng: "Dad, you don't have to be too nervous. Xiao Qiyu is not that bastard cousin!"

"Presumptuous!" Mr. Jiang suddenly shouted sharply, "You should change your habit of speaking without restraint. Why do you dare to call the Holy One by his name!"

Jiang Heng: "..."

Can't you just call him that if you hit him and he can talk?

But then I thought about it, today is different from the past, the brothers in the past have become emperors of ninety-five years, and many things may really be different from before.

"Okay, okay, can't I change it later?"

"It must be changed! Change it for me now!"

"...Then what should I call him?" the young prince asked in a daze.

His Majesty?

Your Majesty?

Uh ~

Why do I get goosebumps just thinking about it? He and Xiao Qiyu have never respected each other so much!

Fortunately, Meng Xian came to his rescue in time, "Uncle, don't embarrass him. Yanqing and the Holy One have been getting along like this for more than ten years. If he changed his words rashly, not only would he not be used to it, but the Holy One would also be frightened." "

Lord Jiang: "..."

I thought of the son-in-law who looked so careless when the family was reunited, and then I looked at my son in front of me, who was so worried that his eyebrows were bunched together because he had to change his attitude.

Lord Jiang snorted coldly between his breaths,

A raccoon dog from the same hill,

No wonder they get along so well!

The matter of changing his words was ignored by Lord Jiang, but Jiang Heng took it to heart.

into the night,

He and Meng Xian played chess under the moonlight in Meng's house.

The two men's chess skills have always been comparable, and each time they have to play for a long time before they can barely decide the winner. But this time, if Meng Xian had some divine help, he managed to capture the opponent's white pieces with three strikes, five divisions and two.

She felt proud, and when she raised her head to play, she saw the other party looking straight at the chessboard and playing with a few chess pieces in his hand.

It was obvious that the man was distracted.

No wonder she won so easily.

Bai was happy, but Meng Xian was no longer happy either. She raised her hand and tapped the other person's forehead, "Why are you so dazed?"

The man was brought back to some consciousness by her, and his tone was bleak, "I was thinking about what my father said."

Meng Xian didn't understand, "What's the matter?"

"Change the title. My brother-in-law has now ascended the throne and become the emperor. If I continue to call him by his first name and surname, I guess the entire imperial study will not be able to fit in my collection."

Meng Xian understood, "It's simple. Everyone calls the emperor nothing more than His Majesty or His Majesty. There's nothing new to introduce from the old. What do you have to worry about?"

"That's what worries me!"

"Your Majesty...Holy Lord...I don't like either of these titles."

Meng Xian was annoyed, "It's you who calls others, but it's not others who call you. What's the use if you don't like it?"

"But I'm saying it's awkward. From now on, when the court and Xiao Qiyu get along day and night, is it possible that I have to be so awkward with myself every day?"

Meng Xian lost her patience and choked: "Then what do you want?"

"If I knew, I wouldn't have to worry!"

Meng Xian couldn't laugh or cry, "Childish!"

"Things that are as big as sesame seeds should be taken seriously by you!"

Jiang Heng refused to accept, "Who said that?"

"Believe it or not, if I really called him that, Xiao Qiyu would be disgusted to death by me!"

Meng Lian: "..."

So what’s going on with you two grown men?
