Changqing Ci

Standing under the steps, Xun Changqing suddenly thought of a sentence, although it was out of date, it was very appropriate.

The weasel had no good intentions in wishing the chicken a new year.

Xun Yi came here at this time, most likely because of the expedition to the frontier. Although Wei Lingci had already agreed, Xun Yi still couldn't let go of his mouth easily in front of him, otherwise he would treat himself as a little emperor for soft food.

After the palace man retreated, Xun Changqing's eyes fell on the folded paper that Zijin handed over. She opened it and glanced at it, feeling a little ironic. She threw the folded paper back on the imperial case, with different shades of smile on her face, " The prince wants me to crown Xun Ximing king?"

But for a six-year-old child, is it a little anxious to become the king, but she will agree to what Xun Yi said. Attacking her, the matter has not been resolved, and now that her son is crowned king, how can Xun Yi think that I will agree.

After hearing this, Xun Yi knew that Xun Changqing was unwilling, so he stood stiffly on the spot with a solemn expression, "The left minister is empty until now, will your majesty forget it? I have a few candidates here, please take a look at them." .”

He took out a booklet from his pocket, handed it to Zijin, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, so maybe you don't know the affairs of the court, some people can use it and get close, and some people even have old love It is allotted, and it cannot be used indiscriminately."

Xun Changqing looked at Xun Yi, dressed in an official robe, standing in the hall with a respectful expression, but the words she said were oppressive for no reason. She opened the booklet, but the three names were all people she didn't know, and they were people above the court. People come out in large numbers, but those who jump to the top are rare, Xun Yi is just someone who wants to promote herself, she closed the booklet with a smile, "My lord, you are too impatient, Qin Li is still alive, don't worry, wait for Qin Li to subdue the law Afterwards, I will discuss this matter with you again."

Mentioning Qin Li, Xun Yi's complexion immediately sank, but his figure was as tall and majestic as a mountain, and people had to admire his courage. He bent down and bowed: "Phase is the head of civil servants, you can't delay, beheaded!" There is no contradiction between Qin Li and Chong Li's candidates, or does His Majesty not want to?"

Xun Changqing's eyelashes slowly drooped and fell on his white fingertips, "Although I have just ascended the throne, it is not the first day I have contact with the government. Earlier, the late emperor taught me that aspect is the most important thing." Heavy, I don't even have an impression of these people the prince chose, let alone their character, how do you let me seal them?"

Xun Yi raised his head, his gaze was calm, looking at the girl above him, his feminine face suddenly became stern, he said: "I am very familiar with these people, your majesty just trust me."

"Believe you? My lord, I also want to believe you, but I have only met you a few months ago, and you don't believe me even if you believe Xunluo's words. How can you tell me to believe you now? You know that Qin Jingyu is behind the rumors But now she asks me to crown her son the king, my lord, I am the daughter of the first emperor now, not from your Pingnan Palace.

"

What he said was neither yin nor yang, and his light tone was like cigarettes tainted in the palace, but it was icy cold, Xun Yi bit his teeth so that the roots of his teeth were broken, and when he was about to speak, he heard Xun Changqing say: "You can make a county king, The prince is exempt, six-year-old child, you are not afraid that his life will be lost, and you should also know how Qin Jingyu is, it is better to send it to the palace and let the queen mother raise it, so you can rest assured, lest the only incense of the eldest son is ruined like this. "

"No need, I can discipline myself without His Majesty bothering me. I thank Your Majesty for this. As for Prime Minister Zuo..."

"I have my own choice, and I don't need the prince to worry about it," Xun Changqing suddenly interrupted Xun Yi's words. Feng Junwang is her biggest concession. If even the position of left minister is controlled by him, wouldn't this imperial power be too useless? Well, besides, the position of left prime minister is of great importance, even if Xun Yi is dissatisfied, he cannot follow his wishes.

Xun Yi hesitated to speak, thinking that the aspect was very important, and the emperor would not choose someone without approval, so he bowed slightly and then retreated, anxious to deal with Xu Ke.

On the gilded throne, Xun Changqing stared at the haughty and melancholy back in a daze. Xun Yi really wanted to influence her thoughts and cultivate his own power. The world sighed.

Xun Changqing leaned weakly on the throne, a little weak, the road at the beginning was indeed a bit difficult, and when she really took power, it would not be like this.

After Xunyi left, the Queen Mother went to Hanyuan Hall. She seldom took care of court affairs, but for the sake of the new emperor, she still had to take care of what should be done. After all, many people thought the new emperor could be bullied.

When the first emperor was in power, no concubines other than the empress were allowed to enter the Hanyuan Palace, this was also the harem rule, but now that she is the mother of a country, these rules are no longer useful to her.

Xun Changqing hurriedly welcomed her in, ordered Zijin to go down to serve tea, and screened out all the people who were serving her.

The queen mother looked at the imposing white jade palace steps, and said with a faint smile: "This place is indeed luxurious, no wonder many people think about it day and night, but it is really unexpected that it will fall on you, a little girl. The Ai family came today, Just for the left side, Wei Lingci told Aijia that she would go to the border, so she would not be the best candidate."

Although the Empress Dowager does not care about power, Daqi has no reason why the harem should not be involved in politics. Now that she wants to intervene, Xun Yi dares to be angry and dare not speak out. It's all right, although Xun Yi has no room to refute, but if those censors come to impeach you for nothing, it will be very troublesome."

"You forgot, women are respected in Daqi now, and words like rooster worshiping the morning have long been discarded in the previous dynasty. Besides, the first emperor asked me to assist you. There is a left minister, and the Ai family's decree is just right."

Now that the Empress Dowager and Wei Lingci had already negotiated, Xun Changqing no longer objected. After all, the throne was jointly held by the two of them. She took Yizhi from Qingyao, glanced at it, and her eyes darkened. , "Is it a woman? Didn't Tang Mo have been dismissed from office during the reign of the first emperor, and now that he is rehabilitated, will it attract criticism?"

The queen mother took a sip of tea, smiled and stared at her eyes, "Tang Mo has a good relationship with the Gu Liang family. Back then, he was dismissed because of Shao Cheng's dislike when he became the servant of the household department. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, the Shao family is no longer there. She will not refuse, she is alone and has no worries, so she is suitable for the aspect. Besides, the aspect is several steps higher than the position of servant, she will not refuse even more."

Tang Mo's friendship with Gu Liang's family is probably the one proposed by Wei Lingci. She took the order and suddenly whispered: "She can have a good relationship with Gu Liang's family. You are not afraid that she will help Gu Liang. When the time comes You lose more than you gain."

Xun Changqing seldom showed childishness in front of the Empress Dowager, now he came closer, thinking about something she had considered, the Empress Dowager grabbed her ear, pretended to be displeased and said: "You are treating Aijia as a small belly man of."

"No, I'm thinking about you. Seeing the people of Gu Liang's family, I also feel uncomfortable," Xun Changqing rubbed his ears, why everyone likes to pull their ears, and Wei Lingci also likes to pinch her.

This is also the truth. The queen mother coughed lightly, looked at the concern in the ice and snow fluorescent eyes, and said with a smile: "Tang Mo is not a person who doesn't know how to praise. As for Gu Liangqian, it is said that the injury is serious. Can you go back to the imperial capital? In other words, I am also a member of Gu Liang's family, so I will not kill them all."

"That's good, as long as you don't mind, Changqing will send someone to pass the decree immediately," Xun Changqing did not stop, and immediately asked Zijin to pass the decree. Now the only person I trust is her who is the most reassuring.

After giving the order, the queen mother showed no signs of leaving, and if she wanted to have something to say, she just listened.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother saw her approaching, she said quietly: "Do you know why Xun Yi sent Wei Lingci to fight?"

"He's afraid that if Wei Lingci stays in the court for a long time, his influence will extend to the court, and he will compete with him in a separate court at that time."

"Not necessarily," the Queen Mother knew that Xun Changqing still had some affection for Xun Yi, but what Xun Yi wanted was the honor of the entire Pingnan Palace. He might not have much thought about the throne, but the future of the Palace was the most important thing in his heart. Important things, he can try to suppress the emperor's rights to defend the palace.

"After you ascend the throne, you will not reuse the Guliang family, and there will be no foreign relatives seeking power. But in name, Wei Lingci is your master, and masters and apprentices are like mother and daughter. In Xunyi's eyes, you listen to Wei Lingci's words too much, so Wei Gu Liang's family will replace Gu Liang's family as foreign relatives, and he himself knows that Wei Lingci is a rare talent. Sending her to the frontier, one is to resist the frontier, and the other is to slowly withdraw her power from the court. Go out, so that there will be no foreign relatives interfering in politics."

The queen mother can be regarded as a soft and beautiful woman, without that kind of sharp awe, but at this time her speech has lost her usual softness. Xun Changqing knew that she was also worried about whether Wei Lingci would really come back.

Xun Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Actually, you don't have to worry, I already have a countermeasure. It is necessary to get rid of Ana Yanran. She is too familiar with Daqi's soldiers. As long as she loses her prestige in the frontier, the inside of the frontier If there is no peace, then the frontier army will become a mess, and as for Xifan, there will be no prosperity.”

Even though she said so, her slender fingertips gripped the fluttering skirt, the queen mother saw her worry, and getting rid of Ana Yanran was really not something she could make up her mind about.

"Since you have an idea, discuss it with Wei Lingci yourself." The queen mother stood up and patted her on the shoulder. The faint friendship is really not worth mentioning in front of the family and the country. If there is no such arrow, Xun Changqing's approach may be Not so determined.

................................................

The scenery outside Qianqiu Hall is very beautiful. The palace is built along the water. In summer, there are many stars, tamarisks are like shades, and the sky is faintly reflected by the waves of the water. The moonlight is even more intoxicating.

Xun Changqing retreated from the crowd, took a black cloak, led Wei Lingci, and walked towards the North Palace with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

I met a lot of palace people on the road, and they all looked sideways at the little emperor leading Miss Wei to nowhere, and they didn't dare to look, they just took a casual look and hurried back, after all, there was a ban in the palace, and if the hour was delayed, they would rush back. To be punished.

It was a great night, Wei Lingci really didn't know where this man was going to take her, she didn't say a word on the way, so she had to follow her steps, the two passed through many palaces, and they walked for a long time before stopping in front of the first palace .

□□The forbidden area of ​​the palace is not allowed to enter without an edict.

Xun Changqing put the cloak in his hand on Wei Lingci's shoulders, and put the hood over her forehead. The hair that had not been tied up in a bun was blown by the wind. He said in a low voice, "Non-royals are not allowed to enter here, don't talk later, I'll take you in."

With a mysterious look, Wei Lingci also let it go. He met the guards at the gate of the palace. They guarded here every day. They didn't know the face of the new emperor, but they didn't talk too much when they saw the emperor's token. Just let people in. After all, this is a forbidden place, and it is not a place of wealth and honor. Except for King Pingnan who broke through once, almost no one came.

□□In the hall, the candles are not extinguished.

After Xun Changqing entered, he screened off the follower. After seeing the person disappeared, he lifted the hood on Wei Ling's forehead and said with a smile, "You should know someone here."

"What did you bring me here for?" Wei Lingci unbuttoned his cloak, and a gleam of light flashed in his charming eyes, as bright as stars, and Xun Changqing was delighted to see it again.

Her heart became more and more joyful, and the melancholy of the day disappeared. She burned a stick of incense in front of the tablets of the emperors of Daqi, and her eyes fell on the tablet of the first emperor Xun Ziqian, and then the female emperor Xun Qi'an, Then Taizong Xun Shiyan, she looked around and called Wei Lingci, "Why is there no tablet of Daqi's first female emperor Ningyuan Emperor here?"

There are almost no female emperors in the world. After the founding of Daqi, female emperors appeared in neighboring countries one after another, but it was Ningyuan Emperor Gu Liang Youzhi who pioneered it. Why didn't such a prominent and extraordinary emperor appear in the first palace? gone?

These are not royal secrets, but now that many years have passed, not many people know about them. Wei Lingci explained: "After her death, she will be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so she does not belong to the emperor."

"Why is it the latter? She has become the emperor."

"Maybe her surname is not Xun, but she is just the daughter-in-law of the Xun family, so she can't appear here, or maybe all she wants to do is queen, queen mother, or queen mother. In short, there is no her here, so don't make a fuss."

Xun Changqing curled his lips and muttered: "Do you think she is the same as me, and she doesn't want to be an emperor, so she was forced?"

"She... I don't know, the younger generation can't talk nonsense about the past. You have finished reading the memorial at night? What are you doing here?" Wei Lingci pulled her around and knocked on her forehead, without a trace of eyes. Man is the consciousness of the emperor.

Wei Lingci is like this, except for Xun Changqing, he treats everyone with the same attitude, neither hot nor cold, neither arrogant nor rash.Now that she has the status of an imperial teacher, she is a hot figure in the imperial capital. How many people want to curry favor with her, but no one sees this person, so what will happen to her life.

His attitude towards Xun Changqing has not changed, and because of this, Xun Changqing likes her even more. If there is a estrangement between the two because of power, this is the worst ending.

How Xun Yi thinks of Wei Lingci is an outsider. Although she is her father, she is the emperor, and the difference between the two monarchs and ministers is like cloud and mud.

She will guard against Xun Yi, but she will never guard against Wei Lingci.

Probably, this is the power of love.

If the person you love the most can't be honest with each other, then what's the point of this love.

Behind Xunyi is the Pingnan Palace. If you are quiet, you are attached to the emperor. If you are restless, you want to pave the way for yourself. In the past, Xunyi was in the southwest and would not think about the imperial capital, but now it is different. The southwest does not need him anymore. Going to guard, the center of gravity of the Pingnan Palace is already in the Imperial Capital, so who would want to go back to the bitter cold place in the southwest.

Wei Lingci is different from him. Behind her is only the emperor, not even her mother, because Princess Ning'an is outside the court.

Her little head was full of wild thoughts, Wei Lingci had looked her up and down for a long time, and finally reached out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes unbearably, "Xun Changqing, what are you bringing me here for?"

"What's the matter, don't you think there are many pairs of eyes here? And they won't tell our secrets," Xun Changqing looked at the calm and calm person in front of him, and stretched out his hand to pinch that seductive cheek, " It's quiet here and I want to do something."

□□The hall was a bit shady. When the two of them walked over, their bodies were drenched with sweat. Now that they were blown by the cold wind, their cheeks were icy cold, but Xun Changqing's hands were hot. Two touches made Wei Ling Ci's heart inadvertently moved, her earlobe turned red again, she took down her hand, "Don't make trouble, here are all the thrones of the past, what do you want to do?"

"I'm thinking that after three years, someone will object to me marrying you."

Xun Changqing's words were a bit disturbing, but they were true. The emperor and empress were originally dragons and phoenixes, but both of them were women, so how could they be blessed by others.

Wei Lingci didn't expect that she would suddenly bring up this question, and for a moment he didn't understand what she was thinking, but stared at her deeply, a strange emotion flashed in those peach blossom eyes, which made her reluctant to look away.

Xun Changqing smiled lowly, walked to the futon in the hall, knelt down on his knees, her thin figure was as tall and straight as a green bamboo, slender but contained extraordinary perseverance, she kowtowed and said: "Emperor Daqi is here , I am Xun Changqing, the emperor of Daqi, I should protect the people of Daqi, I am in the country and the people are here, and I am here for one thing, I do not ask the people to admire, I only want to marry a wife Wei Lingci, in the future all people will cast aside, I don't regret it either."

Fortunately, these people can't speak, otherwise each person's saliva would drown the new emperor who swore in front of him, and the coffin board would be overturned.

Wei Lingci was both touched and helpless by her move, he just stood in the hall and listened to her nagging, she just wanted to calm her heart by doing this, three years is too long, I don't know if the two will meet again at that time Standing together quietly like this.

After the nagging, Xun Changqing turned around and looked at the person behind him. His white clothes were fluttering. In this brightly lit hall, he looked like a pure white snow lotus standing proudly against the wind. Everything in the hall was eclipsed by it. Her Wei Ling Ci.

She stretched out her hand and smiled, "Are you satisfied?"

"Childish!" Wei Lingci glanced at her lightly, and snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid that those angry people will come to look for you in the middle of the night?"

"Don't be afraid, you sleep next to me in the middle of the night, and you won't be able to hide if you look for me."

A shameless sentence, but now it is so shameless to say it, Wei Lingci didn't bother to talk to her, took the cloak on the side by himself, and walked out first, and she took a few steps back at the palace gate, followed by Xun After Changqing died, she was the emperor after all, and no one in Daqin dared to walk in front of her.

Passing the gate of the palace, Xun Changqing suffered from laziness again, grabbed Wei Lingci's clothes, and said pitifully: "I just knelt for a long time, and I can't walk anymore."

Wei Lingci knew what she was thinking, "Then send your imperial chariot over."

"No, you carry me back, just the two of us, that group of people is too much trouble, I don't like it."

Wei Lingci refused again: "I don't like carrying your back either."

A boring person, Xun Changqing compromises, she doesn't want to force things that Wei Lingci doesn't like, and she can't make her feel uncomfortable by being happy, thinking about her, she feels relieved, and steps forward to hold Wei Lingci's hand, the two quietly go back.

There was no one on the road, not even the imperial guards who patrolled on weekdays. Presumably, it was the little emperor's order. Wei Lingci felt that this man had a big heart. He wanted to do important government affairs every day, and he also wanted to do these things to coax her. little things.

In my head, I really don't rest for a moment.

The backs of the two were a little hazy by the moonlight, like mist. After walking for a few steps, Wei Lingci still stopped, deliberately leaning against half of her body, Xun Changqing immediately leaned on her back, hooked her neck, He giggled and said: "I'm really tired, fighting with those courtiers every day, the prince asked me to crown that kid Xun Ximing king today."

Wei Lingci walked very slowly, and the person on her back seemed to be much lighter, and she didn't see that she was fat. After returning, she had to tell the Queen Mother and keep an eye on her three meals a day.

"Then you can become a county king. After all, Xun Yitang also sacrificed for Daqi, and his heirs should also have titles."

"Yes, I am the appointed county king, but he threatened me as the candidate for the left chancellor. By the way, is Tang Mo yours, or is she someone from the memory of her previous life?"

"It's just that I met her. She is indeed a rare talent. You believe she is."

"I believe in you." Xun Changqing lowered his head lightly, and his warm breath blew on Wei Lingci's snow-white neck. She seemed to feel Wei Lingci's heartbeat, and said in a low voice: " Wei Lingci, you still want to be a queen, just change to another emperor, don’t worry, I won’t let you become a jealous woman. But you can’t have other people around you...otherwise...I have to become a jealous woman.”

No matter how you hear these words, they sound like they were fished out of a jar of vinegar, sour!
