I was reborn before the divorce

In January of the following year, Xie Yun ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, naming the reign title Hou Ming.

Although the country had changed hands, the dynasty had suffered from heavy taxes for many years and people's livelihood was in decline. When the Later Ming Dynasty was founded, there was a lot of work to be done.

The emperor governed the country with the people as the foundation. He not only reduced taxes and corvée labor, allowing the people to rest and recuperate, but also opened up the market and developed the economy.

There were many wise men in the imperial court, including General Wu Youqi who pacified the frontiers and Governor Liang who suppressed the rebellion of the barbarians in Lingnan. The whole country was at peace. The local government also made great efforts to rectify the administration of officials, so the administration was clean and the people lived and worked in peace.

The emperor did not take any concubines in the harem, and appointed Shen as the queen, and they lived together forever.

Everyone knows that Queen Shen is not only stunningly beautiful, but also a virtuous wife to the emperor. Back then, the emperor went south to fight and quell the Japanese invasion in the southeastern waters. The war lasted for three years, and the casualties of our soldiers can be imagined. After the Japanese pirates were wiped out, Queen Shen took out her own private savings and allowed the disabled and elderly soldiers to retire and return to the countryside to live out their retirement. If the emperor wanted to work in the city, he could also work in the family business.

His charitable deeds are still praised by people today.

In the first month of the year following the emperor's accession to the throne, the imperial court promulgated a new policy, announcing that the Zhu clan would no longer be supported by national taxes.

No more supporting Zhu, this good thing that the common people of the world never dared to think about, was promulgated just like that! From the first day the decree was promulgated, it quickly became a hot topic of discussion on the streets. Countless hardworking people were so excited after hearing the news that they couldn't sleep all night. Because this means that from now on, they no longer have to hand over most of the grain they have worked hard to grow to support these princes and nobles with the surname "Zhu". It doesn't mean that the silver and grain saved will definitely make their family out of poverty and become rich, but at least, these grains can allow their wives and children to live a better life.

The Later Ming Dynasty overthrew the "Front Office of the Emperor, Who Will Bring Eternal Blessings" that had poisoned the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years. When the news was released, tenant households all over the world rushed to tell each other and were excited.

If someone is happy, naturally someone will oppose. The voices of opposition naturally come from the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty whose vested interests have been damaged. Unfortunately, the arm is no match for the thigh. Although the current emperor is known to be henpecked and his policies are lenient, his methods are vigorous and resolute. He will never be soft-handed when he needs to be iron-fisted. He is not like the previous emperors of their Zhu family, who like to play, practice Taoism, and are lustful. A rare and talented politician, with his good friend General Qi who controls most of the military power in the world as his right-hand man, can't he deal with you, a group of idiots who only know how to eat, drink and have fun in the palace, bully men and women, and exploit the people in the countryside?

Going head-on with this iron-fisted emperor is like an egg hitting a stone. No matter how much the Zhu royal family makes a fuss, they cannot defeat Xie Yun.

……

Shen Lingyi had accompanied Xie Yun to review memorials until late at night last night, and did not sleep well after returning to the palace. He felt a little sleepy at noon, so he went to take a nap. After a long sleep, he woke up lazily. After opening his eyes, he ordered the palace maid beside him to call his daughter Xie Heng in.

The palace maids drew up layers of gauze curtains to block out the sunlight, and the inner hall was immediately filled with light.

One of them laughed and said, "The princess came just now. Seeing that the queen was taking a nap, she ordered the maids not to wake her up and quietly went out, saying that she wanted to look for the emperor. Nanny Chun sent her off."

Heng Jie'er is now eleven years old, and her father has spoiled her to the point of wanting her to be a tyrant. When the emperor was off duty and discussing matters with his ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was not uncommon for the princess to suddenly pop out from behind the imperial desk, startling the cabinet and others who were caught off guard.

The emperor not only did not take it as an offense, but whenever this happened, he would call her to his side.

Then, the ministers could only continue talking to the little princess, who was leaning on the edge of the table with her head tilted and staring at them with her round eyes without blinking.

I guess the ministers gradually got used to such scenes.

Shen Lingyi finished combing her hair and seeing that the person had not returned yet, she smoothed her face a little and left Kunning Palace.

After Xie Yun ascended the throne, state affairs were complicated, and he had to attend court early and late every day. He worked diligently, reviewed memorials every day, and often could not return to his palace to rest until late at night.

Shen Lingyi was afraid that he would be too tired, so he repeatedly reminded him to come back for dinner after the morning court session.

It was almost noon at this time, and the morning court should have been over. He must be back for dinner soon.

……

On the road leading to Kunning Palace, Xie Yun came with his hands behind his back and a group of people.

Shen Lingyi met him when he was on his way to find him.

"His Majesty!"

"Ah."

Seeing his beautiful wife Yunshang walking towards him with a smile, Xie Yun nodded in response.

He stopped where he was, and all the ministers of Queen Shen also stopped in time, not daring to look at him any longer, and knelt down in unison to pay their respects.

Shen Lingyi walked to Xie Yun's side and held her slender white jade hand with a big and powerful hand. The emperor and empress returned to the palace together.

……

Xie Yun had a good appetite, so he ate some of the dishes that Shen Lingyi had developed in his spare time, ate a little of each, put down his chopsticks, and cleaned his hands with a handkerchief.

When he reached for the handkerchief, Shen Lingyi had already stood up, took it and handed it to him personally.

Xie Yun smiled: "Hmm? You performed very well today."

Since his reputation of being henpecked spread uncontrollably from the palace to the outside, then to the city, and then to the periphery of the imperial capital, Xie Yun felt that he had to clear his name.

So last night, after the clouds had settled, he grabbed Shen Lingyi's arms, put her on top of him, and said, "Come pick me up around 3:45 tomorrow morning! I want to let these people know how my wife follows her husband's lead and is virtuous and virtuous!"

Shen Lingyi responded: "I know!"

Xie Yun was still worried: "Remember, don't sleep in late!"

Shen Lingyi: "I know, I know!"

Xie Yun touched her waist, which was so slender that he could hold it in his hand, and then his eyes moved upwards, and finally he looked at her straight in the eye: "If you are too late, you will have to move on your own in the future."

Shen Lingyi blushed and covered his face with a pillow: "I know it, don't tell me!"

……

Shen Lingyi glanced at him and said, "When have I ever behaved badly? From what you said, it seems that you are dissatisfied with me?"

Xie Yun: "No, I just said that you seemed to be performing better today."

……

That night, the emperor rested in Kunning Palace as usual. The palace servants knew that His Majesty did not like to be served by people nearby, so they all left the inner hall.

At this time, layers of silk gauze curtains on the dragon bed blocked the candlelight in the room outside the inner hall.

The bedroom is dark, and the fragrance of Boshan is wafting out. The pearls held in the phoenix-shaped gilded candlesticks seem to be filled with clouds and smoke.

As the saying goes, "What is there to suffer when one is so happy? It is just that the sun is running southwest." Our wise and powerful emperor and his beautiful queen are making love.

Shen Lingyi suddenly twisted his body in his excitement and refused to cooperate.

Xie Yun was sweating profusely and asked, "Why are you twisting around randomly?"

"Humph!"

Shen Lingyi suddenly snorted in dissatisfaction.

Xie Yun suddenly remembered that he was already over 40 years old. Could it be... Could it be...

"My husband, do you still remember that you would take me to the West Lake to admire the lotus and Qiantang River to watch the tide?" She said with a little coquettishness and a hint of anticipation.

"Oh, I made you wait for so long... Next month, next month I will take you there!"

Xie Yun caught a glimpse of the cold eyes of the person under him, as if he was going to teach him a lesson, so he quickly got up from the bed and solemnly agreed.

……

In March, the spring breeze blows fiercely from the east. It blows continuously at the bridgehead.

"We're here. Are you happy?"

Xie Yun was tall and slender, his cedar robe fluttering in the wind. He leaned on the railing, and it seemed that he could only see her across the ten-mile river.

Shen Lingyi was also wearing an ordinary dress. She came out of the cabin and walked in front of Xie Yun.

On the river bank, the willows are so short that their silk threads turn green, and the orioles are singing in the spring.

She just calmly looked at Xie Yun, whose eyebrows and eyes were as white as jade. Her nose felt sore and her eyes immediately filled with a layer of mist, which gradually blurred her vision.

"Thank you,"

There was a hint of crying in her tone.

"what happened to you?"

……

The affectionate wind brings the tide in from thousands of miles away, and the heartless wind sends the tide back.

I ask how many times the setting sun has shone on the Qiantang River and Xixing Port?

There is no need to think about the present and the past, and look down on the mistakes of the past.

……

Remember the west bank of West Lake, the beauty of the mountains at dusk, and the green sky covered with mist.

If you and I are so rare, I will return to the east by sea next year. I hope you will not go against my noble aspirations.

……

"Thank you."

"I know."

The man's tone was filled with deep affection. He held her tightly in his arms and rested his chin on her soft hair.

There was no one speaking in the river.
