over ten thousand people

In order to find out what Xie Jingyu's reaction was in Xie Jingyu's eyes, when I washed up the next day, I deliberately sat in front of the bronze mirror for a while——

The answer, of course, is the same.

The young man who has just passed the weak crown has handsome eyebrows and slender eyes, but his expression is as indifferent and calm as a pool of stagnant water.

I tried my best to recall that strange feeling on my face, but it was of no use.No matter what I think in my heart, there is no wave on my face, and I even seem to be more and more unpredictable...

I may have already achieved full marks in the subject of emperor's expression management.I used to be very proud, but now, I feel a little bit desperate——

No matter who is in Xie Jingyu's position, I'm afraid they will be scared away early, right?

This makes me more curious about why Xie Jingyu likes me, and with the growth, there are also worries.Even if I am the emperor, isn't that how love is talked about?

It's just that there is no rush.Before I can find another opportunity, because of the winter solstice and the grand court meeting on the first day, officials from all over the country came to Beijing one after another.The Grand Court Meeting was supposed to be an annual opportunity for senior civil servants across the country to report on their duties and communicate, but I only held it in the year when I first took office, and this year it was very lively.

For a while, the inns and restaurants in Xingjing were overcrowded.I asked Yushitai and Jinwuwei to be more vigilant, and don't let any unpleasant things happen below.At the same time, there were many envoys from foreign countries who came to Beijing; I was thinking about the frontiers and territories, so I met them one by one.

The Xiongnu is dead, and the other small countries are trembling. They will answer whatever I ask.So I quickly had an idea in my mind, and people then arranged for Jiedu envoys from various places to meet with me.Although the main purpose of doing this is to withdraw military power, I obviously won't leak the news before I actually do it, I just ask about ordinary things, and then give me some gadgets.

The rest is to seal the king.Yong Xian was named King Ning, and Yong Wujiu was named King Huai.The two ceremonies were held together, and many officials were invited to watch the ceremonies. The grandeur and ostentation were very grand, which can be called the most in Xingjing in recent years.

Everything went well, except for one thing—

I agree with Yongxian and Yong Wujiu's choice of concubines, and we will officially marry them in the spring of next year.My sister couldn't sit still when she heard about it.No, just as I announced this matter at the Winter Solstice Court Meeting, she entered the palace on the back foot.

"Your Majesty, you are busy with military and national affairs all day long, and my sister knows it. But no matter how busy you are, there are some things that cannot be delayed!"

In all fairness, what she said was not unreasonable.After all, I am the emperor, and it is clearly stipulated that there can be 81 royal wives.Even if I don't want to establish a prince too early, it is only natural to add a few women to the harem.

But I still don't find the offer attractive at all.The next emperor will be born almost 20 years later, and his biological mother might not even be born yet.Besides, at this juncture, I will add a woman to my side...

What did Xie Jingyu think when he found out?

What will happen in ten or twenty years, no one can say for sure.I don't know if the existence of the next emperor means that the relationship between me and Xie Jingyu is destined not to come to an end; but I can at least guarantee that I will never do anything to intentionally hurt his heart right now.

"Sister, don't mention this matter." As soon as I thought about it, I refused, "I know what I want to do."

My sister immediately glared at me. "What is your majesty thinking in your heart, you don't know as a sister? Even in your dream, you also want to follow the example of your grandfather and father and become the wise king of this world!"

I couldn't help touching my nose.This statement cannot be miscalculated, after all, I cannot say that it was a dream that told me that I would become the wise king of this world.

Sister saw that I was silent, and continued to chatter: "No one dares to say that you are wrong, Your Majesty. After all, having such ambitions is a great thing for the people of the world. But, Your Majesty, you are good wherever you are, It’s just too pure-hearted.”

There really isn't much work to do in November and February, and I don't see her going to stop for a while, so I can only bite the bullet and listen carefully.

"Look at you, you have been quiet since you were a child. I remember that one year during the cold weather, the courtiers were fighting cock and crickets outside the window vigorously. You sat by the window and recited the Analects. You could pretend you couldn't see or hear."

I couldn't help interjecting: "Cockfights and crickets are nothing fun."

"I haven't finished yet!" Elder Sister glared at me, and continued, "It's still one year before Mother's birthday. In order to please Mother's favor, Father specially called a troupe of the best folk opera troupe to cheer up. They went to the palace to play On the day of the stage, King Shun and King Jian, who were older than you, went to watch the fun, but what about you? You said you were tired and too lazy to move, but actually practiced arrows quietly in the school grounds!"

"Didn't we agree not to mention this..." I tried to struggle.If my sister hadn't been as martial-minded as my father in private, my little tricks would not have been discovered by anyone.

My sister glared at me again. "There are no outsiders at the moment, so why can't I mention it?" She was a little annoyed, but she continued on: "The palace talks about whether it is big or small, but there is everything you want to play, but I don't want to talk about it." Seeing your Majesty, you have ever been interested in something. You don’t like singing and dancing, you don’t watch acrobatics, you can barely watch wrestling and batting, throwing pots is a little better, and your favorite is Go! Tell me yourself, how many times do you touch chess pieces? How old are you? Others say that you are bored and out of gregarious, but asking sister to come and see it is the right way to hide your strength and bide your time!"

This can't be said anymore. "What did I have to hide my strength and bide my time?" I began to close my eyes and talk nonsense, "I just don't like those random things."

"Fine, let your majesty think that you are right." My sister naturally didn't realize that I was really hiding my strengths and bide my time, so she easily changed the subject, "But my sister still wants to say a big truth that is not pleasant to listen to - men in this world, Who doesn't want a woman?"

This is not wrong.After all, my sister had stayed in the military camp before, and those soldiers probably had green eyes when they saw a woman, like a hungry wolf when they saw food. Using "want" to describe it is considered light.

But she was about to say that provocative sentence that even men can't stand, so of course I have to defend myself. "Can I be the same as the men in the world? They marry their wives and go back, put them in the house and it's over; but what about me? Before I marry, I have to consider their family background and relatives, and after I marry, I have to think about their royal expenses. Don't It’s easy to say, I’m just a little worried; but after years of fighting, the household department only has such a small amount of money, and I still hope to use it wisely first!”

"...the household department has no money?" Sister was stunned.

"There is no place to spend money. Why don't you go and ask Zhang Shangshu? I think he wants to spend all the money to build the dam." When Zhang Ji is mentioned, I feel a little helpless and annoyed.

"No matter how many places to spend money, you can't shorten your majesty's expenses?" Sister said as soon as she realized it, "they are courtiers, why don't they know how to think for your majesty?"

As soon as I heard it, I knew that sister had already been dragged into the trap by me. "Most of these thousands of miles of land and mountains were laid down by my father, and the credit is not insignificant. But it has only been a few years since the world was pacified, and it has been fighting with the Huns for three years. Everything is waiting to be done. If this is the case, how can I put my own selfish desires to death? Putting it before the people of the world? Since you set an example first, the subjects will be convinced."

My elder sister is devoted to martial arts and has no interest in the words of saints.Therefore, when it comes to the truth, she can only be taken aback by what I say. "……is that so?"

"Of course it is." I affirmed, and continued to add fuel and vinegar, "The way to be a king has always been to put the world first. If the father and emperor have knowledge in the sky, he must agree."

Hearing that I moved out my father, my sister finally gave up. "I should have known earlier, I always can't say enough about you, Your Majesty." She was rather resentful.

Hearing her looseness, I hastened to strike while the iron was hot: "I promise, as soon as the time comes, I will take care of this."

Elder Sister had nothing to say, so she stood up and said goodbye.I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and leaned straight on the couch.The reason I found just now is very high-sounding, at least three to five years can be quiet; as for three to five years later... let's talk about it at that time!

Just as I was thinking about it, Liu Jin said thank you and asked to see her.Although I still have a little residual upset, but it is still accurate.

Xie Jingyu naturally had business to do.It's just a very common and ordinary business, and it doesn't take much effort to get it done.Seeing how he hesitated to speak, I kindly started the conversation for him: "The eldest princess just left from me, did you meet me on the way?"

Xie Jingyu nodded. "Look at me, Your Highness the Eldest Princess doesn't seem very happy." He said very carefully.

"She came to persuade me to enrich the harem again," I snorted from the nose, and at the same time glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, "but I really shouldn't be happy when I dismissed it."

Xie Jingyu seemed a little surprised. "Your Majesty, you...why is this?"

This was very different from the happy response I expected. "Do you really want to ask me?" Zhen asked helplessly, with a sad illusion of casting a wink at a blind man.

Xie Jingyu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.The surprised look on his face slowly faded, and turned into the soft expression I had seen before. "Just after coming down to court, His Royal Highness King Wei invited ministers to his residence to have a talk."

There is really no need to say the following words, after all, Xie Jingyu has already hinted at his rejection when he talked to me here.

But again?

My heart moved.Sure enough, Yongmeng had hit a wall before... "What did you report to me? Is the king of Wei like a wolf like a tiger, able to eat you?"

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu was not annoyed either. "His Royal Highness the King of Wei doesn't eat people. The minister just..." He smiled slightly, and the room was suddenly full of spring peach blossoms, "I hope that the minister's heart is just like the king's heart."

The author has something to say: Xie Xiang: I want to be greedy, but I dare not be too greedy.
