I thought it was just the past and the present

071

As Xiao Qi grows up day by day, such troublesome incidents become less and less rare day by day, and he doesn't know why, this time is different—maybe because it happens to be the tenth year, and he told him privately, Years, he should let this matter come to an end.

Chinese people always attach great importance to numbers such as full ten.

The result of his enthusiasm even made him believe that this was a signal. While he was scolding himself for being ridiculous, he couldn't wait to take the matter of removing the curtain into action without any preparation.

He has already thought about it, and when the matter subsides, let the little pillow come into the palace.

As for whether the little pillow will send him back... it will, but not now.Xiao Qi threw him aside all of a sudden, and after ten years, many of the children he taught have come out to take charge of their own affairs, but Mu Zhen's situation is like house arrest.

At this stage, Little Pillow doesn't hate him, it's all kindness.Unfortunately, he is the emperor, and Little Pillow can only hate him in his heart.

The cartoon shapes of two little pillows itching with hatred flashed through his mind, and a smile flickered from Xiao Qi's lips.The courtiers had already stepped into Fengtian Hall, Xiao Qigai focused on them.

From the death of the first emperor to the present, ten years have passed, and all the ministers know what his majesty is like.Did they really feel sorry for them when they were suddenly given a fifteen-hour meal before going to court?That's what His Majesty wants to do!

So today all the ministers are cautious, lowering their heads and looking around cautiously, just in case something happens, when the first sound of air-conditioning sounds, all the ministers have discovered what His Majesty has done—— The bead curtain has been withdrawn!

Would you like to raise an objection?Ministers, you look at me, and I look at you.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Old Liu Ge, who used to be a stubborn stubble, now just obediently takes the lead in bowing down.

Yes, although the queen mother didn't have much sense of presence before, the matter of listening to the government behind the curtain itself represented that the queen mother was a kind of restraint on the emperor.But... ten years.No matter how blind, greedy, or stupid, you should understand what the name of the world in Daxia is, right?

Those who dare to stand up today are capable of surviving today.

Xiao Qi was both surprised and satisfied, all the ministers were honest.However, what should be said still has to be said: "All the lovers also know that the Queen Mother has been in poor health. In the past two years, she has been on a sick bed and can't get up. Yesterday, the Queen Mother said to me, 'Emperor, you When you grow up, it will take about two years for the Ai family to relax, so you should remove the imperial curtain' that's why I will remove the curtain today."

All the ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty is pure filial piety! The Empress Dowager is benevolent!"

But in my heart: ha ha!When we don't know what is the mother-child relationship between the emperor and the queen mother?However, you are His Majesty, of course what you say is true.

"Well, from now on, I will be in charge!"

The ministers said again: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Speaking of not pro-government, the emperor's intervention in government affairs has become more and more frequent and direct in the past two years, basically it is no different from pro-government.

There was just a group of celebrations in the court hall, when suddenly the bell rang! "Boom! Boom! Boom!" One after another, this is... the death knell!

An eunuch whispered something to Wen Yougong, Wen Yougong was shocked, and quickly knelt down to Xiao Qi: "Your Majesty! The Queen Mother is dying!"

Xiao Qi was taken aback for a moment, and instantly burst into tears: "Mother, queen!"

The ministers were also shocked, subconsciously thinking that it was the little emperor who directly killed his grandson, but at this moment they could only calm down and say, "My condolences, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the ministers said these words, they heard a loud bang, as if a thunder had exploded above their heads, and several ministers were so frightened that they almost knelt on the ground.

Xiao Qi, who covered his face with his sleeves and was about to go to the harem to mourn, was also shaken for a moment, but...he was not frightened!

At the moment when the sound of thunder sounded, Xiao Qi only felt as if a huge bubble burst in his body, and refreshing air gushed out from the bubble, making him feel like he was completely transformed.

Just now, this world has completely changed, going to a different path, Xiao Qi even saw a golden dragon roaring and rushing straight into his chest.

Xiao Qi's heart moved, he didn't walk from the place where the emperor entered and exited the Fengtian Palace, but directly walked down the jade steps, and walked towards the entrance of the main hall where the courtiers entered and exited.

The heavy rain that was falling outside was like the legend that the sky was pierced in half. The sound of raindrops hitting the roof of Fengtian Hall was like sand and stones falling. There was no light in the sky outside. The rain had already wet the clothes of the minister standing at the entrance of the hall.The guards stood guard in armor, and the rain on their bodies flowed down like a stream.

All the courtiers were in a bad mood. His Majesty had just said that he would be in charge, and there was a bang, and the queen mother died, and another bang, it rained heavily.Regardless of whether you actually believe it or not, this omen is really bad.

Then they saw the emperor walking straight over, about to step out of Fengtian Hall?

"Your Majesty! It's raining heavily outside!"

"Your Majesty! Pay attention to your body!"

The eunuchs hurriedly followed, and the ministers stopped him, but Xiao Qi still stepped out...

The clouds are clear and the sky is sunny!

The rain didn't stop, but it happened to be the top of Xiao Qi's head, the thick cloud layer split, and around Xiao Qi, not only was there no wind and rain, but there was also a ray of sunshine shining down on him.

There was a sound of gasping for air, and as Xiao Qi took a step forward, the ministers and servants subconsciously followed up, as well as the guards standing guard outside, the sound of gasping for air never stopped.

Xiao Qi takes one step, and the sunny place expands a little bit, takes another step, and expands a little bit, the range he walks out is the empty range, and the dark clouds that were still astonishingly powerful just now gradually only remain a layer of thin clouds circle, and then completely dissipated.

Instead, the cloud that spread over the entire Forbidden Palace should be white, but it looks clearly golden.There is also a rainbow pouring down, directly connected to the sky above Fengtian Temple.

At this time, not only the people in the palace were amazed after seeing such a wonderful scene, but also many people and dignitaries gathered outside the palace. , there is not even a trace of rain, it is strange if everyone is not curious.

Xiao Qi was a little proud at this time, even Qin Emperor and Han Wu wanted to enshrine Zen and search for immortals, the king achieved supremacy in the world, but he always wanted to let a higher level of immortals to show his affirmation...

But this kind of pride is only for a moment, he still has no achievements, and even today he has been thinking about going back to modern times to find his man.

Now that there is an auspicious sign from the sky... I still have to go back and see the big pillow!I miss him even more, and want to share this with him, even though he can't talk about it with himself.

The rainbow persisted until the sky was covered with purple-red clouds, so auspicious, but the common people could not laugh, they could only cry, because the Queen Mother had collapsed.As a result, many people privately commented that the Empress Dowager was born from a fairy, and that she died because His Majesty had grown up and did not need her assistance, so she went back to heaven.

Xiao Qi: "..."

Although he was very sad to hear such rumors, he still did not refuse the people to continue to spread them, because the rumor itself was conducive to stabilizing his rule.

Just pretend you didn't hear it, he is looking forward to meeting Mu Zhen!

Mu Zhen is three years older than Xiao Qi, and his real age is eighteen.He is a teacher in Huangzhuang, but he also learns literature and martial arts with other people. Although he still has a little youthful innocence, but...he is already eight points like a big pillow.

Before Mu Zhen saluted, he heard the emperor talking and laughing: "I heard that you named yourself Zhentong? Do you have to make yourself a pillow?"

It's also a coincidence that Xiao Qi's voice changed after the day Beng Jia's holy light shone.Now the voice in the voice change is hoarse and rough, but in Mu Zhen's ears it makes his heart tremble.

"This word was decided by my father when he was still alive, and besides..." Besides, only the emperor can play homonyms with him, "And it's also my mother's wish."

"Oh, then I confessed my mistake to Aiqing, I shouldn't have made fun of Aiqing." The long-lost guilt returned, he shouldn't be talking about this little pillow, after all, he already has a family.

→_→Although this family room is an evolution of the small pillow...

Mu Zhen looked at the young emperor and smiled.

Mu Zhen has resentment, he has been nesting in the Huangzhuang for ten years.At the beginning, he could study textbooks and study how to teach children, but he didn't aim at teaching and educating people?Year after year passed, although he could still go shopping and drink tea in the capital, but that was all.For a modern man who used to run all over the world, this life is going to drive him crazy!

In the past ten years, all the sympathy and affection he had for the little emperor in the past have been wiped out. The reason why he has been able to teach and educate people so conscientiously is because...he is afraid of death.

Before coming, he really wanted to ask Xiao Qi why he did this, but the emperor's joking look as if he had seen him yesterday made him swallow his words.

The other party is no longer that poor child, he is a decent emperor with real power in his hands.Now that the emperor didn't suspect that he was also a time traveler and cut him off, that would be benevolent.Mu Zhen took his anger back to his heart, relied on his acting skills, and faced the emperor with a smile.

"What does Ai Qing want to do in the future?" Xiao Qi asked Mu Zhen what he wanted to do in the future.

"I have already imparted all my knowledge, and I want to come out and do something practical. However, I haven't done anything practical, so I need to ask Your Majesty to arrange some staff for me." Mu Zhen replied deliberately flatteringly.

He once thought that if he wanted some money, a gold medal or a jade medal, he would travel all over the country.But he also knows that this is because he has read too many novels, and it is impossible in reality.It is very difficult for a person to travel alone in these years. Scholars rushing for the exam all die on the road every time, and never reach the capital for a lifetime. Even officials who return to Beijing to report on their duties have their whole families disappear silently.

The authority of a random brand is not certain. If people don't believe it or take advantage of it, that kind of thing will be a disaster.

As for being a safe and secure rich man... forget it.The living conditions of an ordinary rich man are not as good as when he was a teacher in Huangzhuang.

Xiao Qi looked at him with a smile all the time: "Well, I understand what Aiqing means. Aiqing doesn't want to be trapped in a corner, but she is also worried that she has never done anything and did something bad. Then Aiqing will be a hundred households of Jinyiwei Okay. Does Aiqing want to start from the bottom, or start from holding the flag for me?"

Jinyiwei has now spread out in Kaiyang Mansion, and is gradually spreading outward. Their responsibilities are basically equivalent to those of the police, and they also have arrests and inspections like the police, but they have no right to convict. To be handed over to Guan Fu.

The Jin Yiwei holding the flag are the guards around Xiao Qi, they are the best martial arts group among the Jin Yiwei.What they do is the work of the armed police, and there are hard bones to crack, and they are all done by this group of people.

"I want to start from the bottom up." The Jinyi guards holding the flag spend most of their time training or guarding Xiao Qi in shifts. So far, there are not many hard bones.Mu Zhen thinks about it, the police should be the police, and more experienced people will be needed at that time, and he will not be meddlesome casually, so this job should be quite enjoyable.

"Okay, then you can go." Xiao Qi looked at him and smiled gently.

When Mu Zhen saw his smile when he was thanking him, he couldn't help but pause—this young emperor is really handsome, and his smile makes people look very comfortable.

People with good looks really have privileges.

Mu Zhen left without looking back, Xiao Qi felt a little regretful, after all, he wasn't sleepy at all, he didn't feel like returning to modern times at all, he could still continue to be his emperor in ancient times and perform his duties.He is also very weird, he doesn't want to provoke the current little pillow, and he doesn't want to be a scumbag with two feet on his back.However, another corner of his soul was screaming crazily, terrified that he might never be able to return for the rest of his life...

Xiao Qi bit his lips, and suppressed that small piece of fearful self.

In the 11th year of Guangde, the first ironmaking blast furnace was built, and the business law was changed.

In the 12th year of Guangde, Ruisheng and Duanqing opened in the north and the south. Both of these two saltworks were "state-owned enterprises" managed by servants, and the salesmen were weak retired military households.

This incident is like stabbing a hornet's nest. Hundreds of officials in the court are making trouble, and the "common people" in the court are making trouble, and they all say "don't compete with the people for profit".

Xiao Qi didn't care about this, the good salt from the salt fields was gradually sent to thousands of households as the dismantled military households spread out the post stations step by step.

Dare to make trouble?Chopped!

In July of the 13th year of Guangde, 180 and seven salt merchants had been killed, and it was a foregone conclusion that official salt would travel all over the world.

In the 14th year of Guangde, the Royal First Fleet set sail.

In the 15th year of Guangde, the military system was reformed.

Guangde...

In the 30th year of Guangde, South Vietnam was collected.

The current emperor is 35 years old, and the officials don't care much about the small piece of land in South Vietnam. What they care more about is that the emperor has never been married so far!

Most of the emperors of the Xiao family don't live long, 35 years old... Among the emperors of the Great Xia, they are considered to have lived a long life.

The ministers in the court changed wave after wave, but the eunuchs around Xiao Qi never changed, and the emperor's reputation of "playing with eunuchs" was completely ruined.

——Sending children to be eunuchs was all the rage more than ten years ago, until Xiao became angry and asked Jin Yiwei to stare at him. From now on, all those who come to send their children to be eunuchs will be eunuchs, and women will be demoted to low status. After dealing with dozens of people in one tone, it can be regarded as stopping the trend.However, when the vassal states came to pay tribute in the next New Year, many of the vassal states sent castrated boys...

Xiao was angry at first, but after thinking about it, he accepted it.He also gave them a lot of glass utensils, such as quite large glass vases and glass Bodhisattvas.It would be best if the vassal state would be happy to do this in the future, and kill all the men in their own country.

But these eunuchs of foreign races cannot be used or killed, Xiao Qi even sent them out of the palace.Many old eunuchs have gone out of the palace to take care of their old age, let them take care of those old eunuchs.

Back to the present, all the ministers asked to be the queen and were thrown aside by the emperor to set the queen on fire.However, this time the emperor responded: "The five generations of the clan... Within the six generations, boys between the ages of eight and 12 enter the palace, regardless of whether they are born or concubines, and those with physical disabilities are fine, but blindness, deafness and dumbness are not counted." .”

Their family is really too small, within five generations, the choice may be relatively narrow.

"When the child comes, don't urge me to establish a crown prince. I will hide the secret book under the wordless plaque in Fengtian Palace, and I will leave a copy for my close courtiers. By the way, I didn't say that only one copy is left, Not to mention that it will only be reserved for one courtier. It’s unknown if each of you will have a copy of the secret book. That’s fine, it’s settled like this.”

The officials came out from Fengtian Hall, Mu Zhen had just stepped out of the threshold of Fengtian Hall, but was stopped by Dai Yucheng.This Eunuch Dai is called Concubine Dai in private, and he is not too young now, and his appearance is still stunning and charming.

Mu Zhen followed Dai Gui... Father-in-law, all the way to the Imperial Garden, it is the beginning of summer, when the weather in the capital is the most refreshing, Xiao Qi has already changed out of the heavy dragon robe, wearing a light gray unlined garment, sitting there drink tea.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Qi turned his head while holding the teacup, he clearly saw that Mu Zhen froze for a moment when he met his gaze, and then hurriedly saluted.

Xiao Qi waved his hand, motioning him to sit down: "This year's new tea."

Mu Zhen took the tea bowl and responded, "It really is good tea."

Xiao Qi smiled, Mu Zhen...in fact, he didn't taste the tea at all, did he?

Today's Mu Zhen is the commander of Jin Yiwei, who belongs to the public security and national security.Xiao Qi can slightly understand why Big Pillow has been able to establish a relationship with the superior within two years, he is probably walking a more "magic" line, right?

When Guangde promoted him ten years ago, he was full of resentment, but after getting along with each other year after year, that resentment has long since been wiped out, replaced by...

What is self-evident.

When seeing Mu Zhen in Guangde for ten years, Xiao Qi, who had kept the distance between the monarch and his subjects, found that Mu Zhen's feelings were warming up. At first, he was looking forward to it with a bit of excitement and guilt—go back and take a look at the big pillow. problem?

The disappointment after the anticipation was so great that he himself was surprised. During that time, he was irritable and irritable like a firecracker!At that time, he even violated the promise he had made to himself back then, and made some acts of intimacy on purpose.The liking for the little pillow became more and more obvious, but he still didn't go back.

He is real, can't he go back?

He was too modest to the little pillow, but he still preferred him over other courtiers.

"Little pillow, this year seems to be a year of good weather." Strange to say, ten years ago in Guangde, there were occasional disasters in various places, such as drought, flood, snowstorm, landslide, and locust plague. Fortunately, they were all small-scale, but Every year there will be no less, how many treasuries will get a little money for disaster relief.

After ten years in Guangde, there will be no more such natural disasters. All parts of the country are in good weather, and the grain output of the same mu of land is also increasing year by year.

"Your Majesty..."

"It's fine for others to say that, why do you say that too?" Xiao Qi waved his hand, "I've never been a benevolent king, I have to chop off one or two hundred heads every year in the vegetable market, and I'm not here to listen to you Flattering. Little pillow... You said that since there are people like you and me, then there are also gods in this world?"

When Xiao Qi spoke, he also felt a little emotional: the others had already retreated, and now there are only two of them left in the surrounding area.But even if it was a private conversation, Mu Zhen would never call them "you and me" anymore.

"How come your majesty has also learned to ask immortals and Buddhas? Could it be that your majesty also asks for the elixir of immortality?"

Seeing the anxiety on Mu Zhen's face, Xiao Qi smiled: "Don't worry, I know it's useless."

Mu Zhen left with the reward as usual, Xiao Qi drank two cups of tea, let out a long sigh, watched the sky completely dark, then got up and left.

The 35-year-old emperor, whose courtiers were eager to let him marry a wife and have children, actually looked very young. If someone who didn't know him stood in front of him, it would be difficult to guess his age.

——At first glance, he looks like a 20-year-old youth, because he is healthy and fit.At the second glance, he would guess that he should be 27, because the calm and solemn appearance should only be seen when he is about [-] years old.The third glance is not sure if he is in his thirties, because his conversation and behavior are so sophisticated that even young people who stand still can't do it.

July [-]th, Longevity Day.

This day is getting more and more lively now, it's not that Xiao Qi wants to be lively, but others want to be lively, and this other people include courtiers and vassals.Recently, the common people have also become lively together. After all, the common people have a lot of spare money in their hands, and they are willing to have fun for many days.

Although spending money to make others happy sounds like a not-so-intelligent sub, but as a responsible emperor, Xiao Qi still wouldn't do such a thing.

Good wine, delicious food, beauties, poetry, singing and dancing, the pleasures and celebrations of this year are inseparable from these.

Xiao Qi sat on the top, but listened to the flattery from the subordinates, and resisted the urge to take a breath - he had mistaken this sleepy feeling several times as a harbinger before going back, and ended up being happy in vain .

Beautiful men and women appeared one after another, but none of them left an impression on Xiao Qi's eyes. Only occasionally, Xiao Qi's eyes would pass over Mu Zhen, but no one knew who he was really looking at.
