over ten thousand people

I never say what I can't do, but it doesn't mean that I will never do it if I don't say it.Yongmeng's actions, whether bold or provocative, were all too transgressive.He offended Shengyan in private, and it's not easy for me to retaliate publicly; but is there nothing I can do?

First of all, I called Du Jianzhi, the Ministry of Rites, and beat him secretly.Du Jianzhi understood it, and wrote a note when he returned home, and tried his best to push matters that were relatively insignificant to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of Officials.People in the Ministry of Rituals are used to speaking beautiful words, so it is easy to find a reason.When I convened the three provinces and six ministries to discuss matters, I deliberately did not call the minister, and Song Yuandao had never been a capable person, so I successfully finalized a large number of new tasks for him without Yongmeng's presence.

Secondly, taking advantage of the opportunity of Yong Zhi's face-to-face meeting, Zhen Xu's family often changed the topic to the decoration of the back garden of Prince Shun's Mansion in a roundabout way.Yongzhi originally wanted Yongmeng to build him a courtyard with a similar style, but after hearing that I would never mind this matter, his thoughts came alive again.When I saw that there was something going on, I held his hand while the iron was hot, saying that I was too indifferent since I was a child, and I hope I can make up for you brothers and so on.

This reason is quite credible, after all, I just gave them officials.When Yongzhi entered the palace, he only treated it as an ordinary audience, and when he left the palace, he was all eager to try.Based on their relationship, and the image that Yongmeng has portrayed to the outside world as being approachable and close to responding to requests, I believe that he will probably annoy Yongmeng to death.

In the end, it may also be considered the trump card, which is to intercept the second and third marriage partners of Hu Yongmeng's cousin halfway.Smart people know that eggs cannot be put in the same basket; and it is impossible to say that Cousin Yongmeng loves me so much that I will not marry her.That being the case, I have no choice between her and the forces behind her.

In fact, if Yong Meng didn't say more things that he shouldn't say, I might not have thought of this.But the problem now is that I am committed to establishing the image of a benevolent and generous monarch, but some people mistakenly think that I am easy to handle.That being the case, it is not enough to teach them a deeper lesson; if you want to blame something, you can only blame those people for their lack of greed.

As for why I didn't directly marry my cousin Yongmeng, but beat around the bush from the man, besides hiding my intentions, there is another layer——

Dang He's daughter.

Everyone knows that getting married can strengthen the alliance of interests, and Yang Zhaorong and even Yang's choice of husband and son-in-law for Cousin Yongmeng must have something to gain.Since their calculations are so loud, why don't I refer to them, and then get them to give to my loyal ministers?

This method is similar to borrowing flowers to present Buddha, I have sent people to the Yang Mansion to inquire about the news, but I will not mention it.

**

After more than a month, the sun in the sky became more and more poisonous, and the summer solstice came.According to the usual practice, ice is given in the palace when the heat is hot, and there is a refreshing banquet when it is hot.I was not in the palace at this time last year, and this year it will be unavoidable no matter what.

The family banquet is still held in Ningyun Pavilion.The first public appearance of several babies who were still in their infancy inevitably attracted a lot of attention.My sister was so envious and jealous, she couldn't help but come to me again to talk about Na Cai.I was already prepared, and after pretending to evade a few words, I reluctantly agreed.

Seeing my sister's overjoyed reaction, I rarely feel guilty—I am destined to live up to her expectations this time.As for the innocent women who were selected, I can only try my best to compensate them with rewards.After all, participation in the harem draft is voluntary, and there is nothing I can do if they don't sign up; if they sign up, then they have to be prepared to face all the future, whether it is good or bad.

I try my best to live up to the world, but it is impossible to live up to everyone.

It's not a pleasant thing to be left and right, and I'm really not very interested.Elder sister thought that she had overcame my difficulties, and she couldn't give up my chance to let go, so she stopped talking after discussing the coordination of the palace and the guards.After a few more conversations with the kings, I pretended to be suffering from heatstroke and left early to rest.

But as soon as I left, Yongmeng followed.Hearing that Liu Jin asked King Wei to see him, I thought in my heart that he really knows how to choose the time, and every time I choose to hit the gun when I am in a bad mood.I didn't want to miss it, but after thinking about it, his request to see him is probably related to the stumbling block I gave him before, so I agree.

And indeed it is.After the routine etiquette, Yong Meng opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty only has a few words lightly, and the minister is so busy."

This is inevitable, but I can't help raising my eyebrows.In the past, he always had to go around several times when he spoke, and I have long been used to it; "Really?" I refused to admit it, and gave him another compliment, "I see that the king of Wei is doing better and better."

"Your Majesty entrusts you so much, and I will not dare to take it up." Yong Meng cupped his hands respectfully again.

It's normal for other ministers to say this, but it's different when it comes out of Yongmeng's mouth. "The king of Wei came here today," I tapped lightly on the table next to me, "just to tell me that I will live up to my great trust?"

Yong Meng should be able to read my vague impatience from my actions, but he actually raised his lips and smiled. "Of course not. The minister's request to see His Majesty today is because of unfinished business on the day of the Burning Tail Banquet."

...Why, does he still want to meddle in my business?

I narrowed my eyes slightly and looked Yong Meng up and down.His complexion is the same as usual, his posture is the same as usual, he didn't drink too much!But I didn't drink too much, so why are you rushing to court death again? "Unfinished?" I deliberately repeated these two words.

With Yongmeng's brain, he must know that this is my warning - if he shuts up from now on, I will not trouble him; but if he persists, I will not guarantee what will happen to him later. "The subject thought that His Majesty would not take action against the subject easily. There are three reasons." He continued on his own, "First, Your Majesty admitted that he has an unusual relationship with Xie Xiang, and he just said it to the subject alone. No proof; second, it is one thing now, and another in the future; third, take a step back and say," he suddenly smiled, "even if I really want to do something, how can I let it go?" Your Majesty found out?"

This kind of sentence pattern seems familiar, and I am not angry but laugh. "I think that what King Wei should consider is not how to hide from me, but how to protect himself."

"Your Majesty wants to avoid future troubles forever?" Yong Meng asked back, as if he was not afraid of the death alluded to in his words, "Then His Majesty will have to work hard."

It's really hard to find a reason to move him, but it's different to move the people around him... I thought to myself, but didn't mention it directly. "So I hope you are worthy of the word "smart."

Smart people know that they should protect themselves wisely, and this is the easiest thing to do.In the past few years, Yongmeng is really a master. I really don't understand why he suddenly wants to fight me on such a sensitive issue.

Perhaps aware of my doubts, Yongmeng was silent for a while, and the relaxed smile from before disappeared from his face. "Your Majesty always claims that your ministers are smart, but I think that your Majesty is the one who is truly perfect and impeccable—from childhood to most of them." He emphasized, and his tone suddenly seemed a little bit astringent, "If that's the case, why should Your Majesty be so perfect?" Wade in such muddy water?"

...was in muddy water?

I have been observing Yongmeng carefully, and I was a little shocked when I heard the words.It is indeed much easier to marry a wife and have children.I also thought earlier that if his words came from my sister, I might be shaken a little bit.

However, things are now a foregone conclusion.Even if we go back to the earliest time and let me make another choice, I guess it is impossible to let Xie Jingyu out——

What's the point of asking why?

My earlier anger and doubts were gone, and all that was left was a sigh. "Why don't King Wei first ask himself, is there anyone who makes you willing to go through such muddy waters?"

This is actually a pun.The literal meaning is whether Yongmeng can find someone he really cares about, and the underlying meaning is to let him not care about things beyond his ability——

It is my problem that I choose Xie Jingyu, no matter how troublesome it is, I will bear it.In this regard, the approach he should take is to sit on the sidelines, and taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters is also in line with his status.But he didn't choose any of these, but chose the most difficult path...

Just when I tried to think about the reason, Yongmeng's face turned pale and blue, and his lips began to tremble.I came to my senses and noticed that the feeling was really bad, so I asked softly, "King Wei?"

As if startled by this sound, cold sweat fell down Yongmeng's forehead instantly. "Your Majesty, I..." He looked straight at me, and his voice trembled.

I have never seen such a reaction from him, and I was inexplicably shocked for a moment, and I couldn't care about anything else. "King Wei is unwell?" Before he could answer, I got up immediately and shouted: "Liu Jin!"

The waiter immediately entered the door. "What is His Majesty's order?"

"Let someone announce the Imperial Physician!" Zhen quickly said, "Call a few more people, and help King Wei go to the side hall to rest!"

Liu Jin was startled when she heard the imperial doctor, and her eyes hurriedly glanced at me.Hearing that it was King Wei again, he immediately turned his gaze away, and was taken aback when he saw Yongmeng's face clearly. "I'm going now, old slave!" He hurriedly responded.

It was a good banquet, but Wei Wang suddenly fell ill, and the Ningyun Pavilion was in a hurry.Not to mention that the kings hadn't left the banquet yet, and each of them flocked to ask questions.When the imperial physician arrived in a hurry, all the people avoided and gathered together to discuss what was going on.Yongmeng has always been very popular, but now those faces are full of real worry.

I don't know anything about medicine, so naturally I won't stay in the side hall to get in the way.Although everyone else is normal, I still have people strictly inspect the food for today's banquet.In the interval between giving orders and waiting for the result, I couldn't help going through what happened just now.If you don't think about it, you will stop thinking about it, but you will find a big problem, a hypothesis that I sneered at earlier——

Hell, did Xie Jing's foolish misfortune really hit the mark?
