The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"The emperor has just wiped out the noble concubine clan. Some people who don't know about it say that you are too angry. You really can't do anything inappropriate at this time. Besides, Mrs. Hu has been worshiping Buddha all day, and my concubine is now no different from the mistress. , there is really no need to issue an imperial edict to reward him."

At that time, Li Heng completely agreed with Meng Wenyao's views. Both of them tried their best to be in compliance with the rules and regulations to alleviate the rumors among the people that Li Heng sought power and usurped the throne and was tyrannical and cruel.

Unexpectedly, half a year has passed and Li Heng no longer cares about his reputation among the people?

Seemingly sensing Meng Wenyao's doubts, Liu Sangyu said with a bulging belly: "The Hu family committed a treason case and the whole family was wiped out. Your father and I had a marriage contract. Now under the auspices of Taifu Du, Your father and I have remarried, and I am a serious Mrs. Meng, not a concubine. Don’t worry, no one will gossip and say that the queen’s biological mother does not follow the etiquette and laws."

In this way, Meng Wenyao was more than relieved and asked: "The Hu family has been dealt with before, so how could they have committed a treason case?"

"It is said that Meng Wenlan was in the palace intending to avenge the fourth prince and assassinate the emperor, which led to the destruction of the Hu family."

Meng Wenyao couldn't turn around for a moment, she murmured: "Meng Wenlan's surname is Meng, why did you destroy the Hu family? Your Majesty, isn't this just for the palace, to avenge private revenge?"

"You," Liu Sangyu said with a smile, "Just understand in your heart."

"I came to the palace today because your father asked me to give you a message. The emperor will exterminate his clan as soon as he kills someone. If the reputation of murder spreads, it will be difficult to get rid of it in the future. Please give some advice to the emperor. You still have to care about the evaluation of future generations."

Li Heng killed the noble concubine family. It was a hatred that had been suppressed for many years. Besides, the noble concubine family came to power on the basis of the former queen's family, so death would not be a pity.

However, Meng Wenyao was quite surprised that Li Heng killed the Hu clan. She said seriously: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely advise the emperor not to exterminate the clan at will again."

After Liu Sangyu left, Meng Wenyao seriously advised Li Heng.

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for everything you have done, but it is nothing compared to your reputation. Let us not annihilate the clan at will in the future, okay? You should be a benevolent monarch who will leave a name in history!"

Li Hengyou wanted to retort a few words, thinking that Meng Wenyao was pregnant and not wanting her to worry, he promised: "You and I have no enemies anymore. I will never kill so many people at once in the future. Please relax and be good." Nurturing the fetus.”

The words were still in his ears. A few days later, Li Heng passed by the Imperial Garden and saw a woman picking flowers about to pounce on him. Li Heng shouted: "Catch the assassin!"

After the flash of the sword, a life like a flower withered in an instant.

Li Heng pointed at the woman on the ground and said: "From now on, except for the queen, all women within one foot of me will be treated as assassins."

"Yes."

Returning to the palace this time, Li Heng did not wait for Meng Wenyao to question him, and first defended: "I didn't kill him, he was really an assassin."

Meng Wenyao was speechless: "Your Majesty, that's just a woman who wants to seduce you. If you don't like her, just send her away."

"How can that be done? If you send this one away, there will be another one. Over time, it will definitely affect our relationship as husband and wife. When the emperor grows up, he will also hate me as his father. Maybe he will follow my example and try to usurp my throne. So today This woman is not just an assassin, she is simply a sinner who shakes my country. I didn’t destroy her whole family because of the queen’s face.”

"Look, now that this incident has come out, any woman who dares to get close to me in the future will come with her head held high. Aren't we going to be clean from now on?"

"Unreasonable." Meng Wenyao raised her eyes and cursed with a smile, and was hugged by Li Heng with a smile.

"I really don't want any problems to arise between us. From now on, it's just the two of us who will live well in this life, the next life, and the next life, okay?"

"it is good."

Eight months later, Meng Wenyao gave birth to a baby boy. The emperor immediately made Meng Wenyao the crown prince, allowing Meng Wenyao to secure a seat in the harem.

Seeing that Meng Wenyao was ready to go to bed after her confinement, some ministers who wanted to send people to the palace became a little anxious.

In the past eight months, anyone who wanted to get close to Li Heng was brought to the Criminal Investigation Department for interrogation.

For a time, assassins appeared frequently in the palace, and Li Heng even let a group of people out of the palace.

As soon as the restless people in the inner palace were cleaned up, the ministers couldn't sit still.

"Your Majesty, the harem is empty. You should fill it up as soon as possible and create heirs!"

"My dear, what you said makes sense. It's just that I'm afraid of being assassinated. Let's do this. If anyone wants to send their daughter to the palace, they should first let the Ministry of Punishments and Dali Temple check inside and outside. If there are no problems, they can send her in. ,how?"

As the saying goes, if you clear the prefecture in three years, you will earn one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver. There is no official who is not a black butt. If it is really investigated, annihilation of a clan is a minor matter. With the emperor's murderous temperament, there is a high probability of annihilating three or nine clans.

Since then, no one dared to mention the draft.

Especially when Meng Wenyao's children were born one after another, the courtiers still dared to mention Li Heng's harem.

Seeing the prince growing up day by day, Li Heng suddenly woke up from a nightmare one day.

"what happened?"

"I dreamed that the prince rebelled!"

Seeing Li Heng sweating profusely, Meng Wenyao's heart skipped a beat. The royal family and his son were suspicious. Couldn't even she escape?

"Then it would be better to send the prince to another place and let him learn how to govern the provinces and counties first, and then let him return to the capital when the time is right."

After Meng Wenyao finished speaking, Li Heng said in confusion: "What are you talking about? The prince is the heir that I have carefully cultivated for many years, how can he be sent to the state and county to waste his time."

"I am afraid that you will be affected by nightmares and father and son will become suspicious."

Knowing Meng Wenyao's worries, Li Heng held Meng Wenyao in his arms and explained in detail: "It was because my father did something bad. Maybe I also killed my father, so I had this nightmare."

"But our children will never do such a thing. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, I decided to abdicate and let the prince ascend the throne in advance, so that he does not have to usurp the throne."

Looking into Li Heng's bright eyes, Meng Wenyao said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty just woke up, please go back to sleep and think about it carefully."

Li Heng smiled and pressed Meng Wenyao on the bed, saying ambiguously: "I can't sleep anymore, and I don't want to sleep anymore."

A moment of endless spring...

Years later, Li Heng is still gratified by his decision to abdicate.

"I heard from my son that there is now a direct minister in the imperial court, who is honest and upright, and enjoys scolding the emperor all day long. Fortunately, I abdicated early, otherwise I would have killed him, and the world would have misunderstood me for killing him. .”

Li Heng, who was fishing by the Dongting Lake, excitedly picked up his fishing rod and told Meng Wenyao: "Please remember to write a letter to your son. Don't let him give up his job. I, who have just lived a few years of leisurely life, don't want to Go back and read the memorial."

Meng Wenyao, who was already full of white hair, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have abdicated the throne for decades, and your beard and hair are all white. No matter how unfilial your son is, he will not drag you back to work.

There is also the direct minister who was honest and upright throughout his life. Under his advice, our son is now praised by the world. Moreover, the minister seemed to have died last year, and his posthumous title was Wenzheng. "
