Li Yueyue has never returned to the court, and everything in the court remains the same.

This should make people feel gratified, but when you think about it carefully, it makes people shudder.The operation of all affairs in Dayu's current court does not need the intervention of him, the king of a country.

Thinking about it, before he came here, he sent a note to Lizhou, but it was just for show, but it was very perfunctory.

The morning was boring, and Li Yue stared blankly, as if he hadn't woken up.After the court, he went to the Ninghe Hall, and asked the waiter Fuxi to prepare some snacks, but none of these snacks was his favorite, but they seemed to be prepared for others.

The Ninghe Hall is located between the former court and the rear palace, where Li Yue usually rests or receives courtiers.Although there is no one in his harem at this time, the rule of courtiers not entering the harem still exists.

After a while, Fu Xi came in and said, "Your Majesty, Zong Zhengqing and Zhang Yu are asking to see you."

Li Yue waved his hand, indicating to invite someone in. After a while, a middle-aged man in his 40s came in. He looked a little fat and had a greasy face. This person was Zhang Yu.

"Master Zhang, what's the matter that you didn't report to the court earlier, and you still want to come to see me?" Li Yueli was drawing a brush in front of the desk, and when he saw him coming in, he only raised his eyes and asked casually.

Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to the previous rules, this matter should not be brought up by mere ministers, but...now that there is no owner in the harem, and the Queen Mother passed away early, I can only bite the bullet and come to see Your Majesty. "

Hearing this, Li Yue finally raised his head and glanced at him, and said, "Are you going to mention the matter of setting up a queen again? Didn't you agree at the beginning of the year that you will get married after I reach the crown?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the wedding can wait, but there must be someone in your harem, right? Your Majesty is just at a young age, if there is no loving person around, it may be bad for your Majesty's health." Zhang Yu said.

Li Yue threw the pen away and stared at Zhang Yu for a while, feeling very irritated in his heart.He is not interested in the big marriage or even the affairs of the harem. Although he doesn't know much about men and women, since he became a teenager, he has never had any impulse towards women.

This matter is obvious, Li Yue has no thoughts about women in his heart, even if he marries a woman and enters the palace, in the end, it will only harm her life in vain.But if he said this directly to Zhang Yu, the old man might not have bumped his head to death here.

Although Li Yue was unwilling in his heart, he knew the priorities, so he had to think of a way to procrastinate, and said: "You should talk about it first, but I said it in advance, no matter which woman wants to enter the palace, I must see it in person. And agree."

Seeing him let go, Zhang Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I have taken orders." After saying that, she withdrew.

The chief minister was originally in charge of the royal genealogy, and the emperor's marriage should be led by the queen mother.But when the Dayu dynasty came to the first emperor's dynasty, there was only one queen, and she passed away early, so this job fell on Zhang Yu's head.

As soon as Zhang Yu left, Fuxi came to report again, saying that Shen Xuan, the Minister of Rites, was asking to see him.Li Yue finally got a little happy when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked Fu Xi to call him in.

After a while, a young man in his early twenties came in, dressed in fancy clothes, with a face like a crown of jade, but he was still holding a basket with a mesh in his hand, which looked a little strange.

"Shen Aiqing, what goodies did you bring to me?" Li Yue looked curiously at the basket in Shen Xuan's hand.

Shen Xuan put the basket under his feet, greeted him, and ordered Fuxi to close the hall door, then opened the basket, only to see a snow-white cat inside.

"A cat?" Li Yue said dumbfounded: "I have been away for more than a month, and I thought you could bring something new, but I didn't expect it to be a cat?"

Shen Xuan took the cat out and put it on his lap. While smoothing the cat's hair, he said: "This is my new pet, I can't put it down, I keep it with me day and night, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Yue glanced at the cat, seeing that he was not afraid of strangers, nor curious. He was squinting his eyes half-closed and let Shen Xuan caress, but it was different from the rowdy cats he remembered.

However, Shen Xuan hugged a cat all day long, which seemed awkward no matter how you looked at it.

"Zong Zhengqing and Zhang Yugang have just left, and I'm here for a kiss! I knew I should have told him to tell you about a marriage first. You are already 21, four years older than me, and you are still a widow. It's really pitiful." Li Yue said.

"Your Majesty has no desires and is not suitable for marriage. Your Majesty should worry about himself." Shen Xuan said with a smile.

Li Yue watched him teasing the cat, a little bored, so he ordered Fuxi to get some food for the cat.After Fuxi left, Li Yue was afraid that there would be too many people and the cats would be afraid, so he sent out the eunuchs and maids who were serving in the house.

"Are you here today for business?" Li Yue asked.

"Why didn't Liu Li go back to Beijing with His Majesty?" Shen Xuan asked.

Li Yue said: "It's too conspicuous for Liu Li to follow me, they dare not do anything, and I can't even catch them."

"Are you crazy? Liu Li is not here, if they are really against you, what will you do?" Shen Xuan said.

Li Yue waved his hand, and only said that he didn't have to worry about it, and he knew it well.Shen Xuan was very helpless when he heard the words, this little ancestor was used to being confused, he always acted regardless of the consequences, and he also insisted on doing things his own way, which made no sense at all.

In the past, Liu Li was able to restrain him, but now that Liu Li is not around, Shen Xuan really has no way to deal with him.

"During the days when you were not in the court, Pan Taibao and Zheng Taifu fought fiercely. They are two assistant ministers, one civil and one military, and they can only wish to fight each other face to face, and it will be a life-and-death battle." Shen Xuan said.

Li Yue sighed and said: "When I left the court, I guessed how soon they would call me back. I didn't expect to wait for more than a month. They really thought it didn't matter if I was with Dayu or not."

"Is Your Majesty finally planning to take over the government?" Shen Xuan asked with bright eyes.

Li Yue shook his head and said: "They check and balance each other now, and everything in the court is in order. I listened carefully to Zhen this morning, and I think they are doing very well."

Now that the court is calm for the time being, Li Yue is not in a hurry to take charge.Firstly, he will not take action lightly until he is fully sure, and secondly, he is not particularly keen on pro-government.

As long as the two auxiliary ministers don't touch his bottom line, he is willing to remain a puppet for the time being.But he also knew in his heart that this kind of life would not last long.Because Li Yue's birthday is coming soon, and he will die after his birthday.

Back then, the first emperor was a grand marriage, and a grand marriage represented adulthood.For Li Yue, it will definitely become a difficult hurdle.

"By the way, what happened to that Zhao Xun?" Shen Xuan asked.

"He... Hehe, he was brought back by me." Li Yue smiled a little, and when he mentioned Zhao Xun, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Shen Xuan couldn't help being startled when he saw this, and said: "Who is this Zhao Xun? I really want to see him. But he is a prisoner of the enemy country, and we are the emperor and the servant of the gift. It is not very good to go to see him like this. Is it suitable?"

Li Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Have you forgotten my best skill?"

Shen Xuan suddenly said: "Yi Rong!"

So, at noon that day, Li Yue swaggered out of the palace, saying that he was going to the servant Shen Xuan's house to enjoy the flowers.

There is really a garden in Shen Xuan's house for people to watch, but this season there are only chrysanthemums in the yard, fortunately there are many kinds of chrysanthemums, and it is very lively to watch.

Li Yue didn't have any intention of admiring the flowers, so he shook off the palace servants who followed him, and changed his appearance with Shen Xuan. The two disguised themselves as ordinary guards, and brought two guards from Shen's mansion out of the mansion together.

Zhao Xun was placed in the guest house of Honglu Temple as a hostage.Li Yue only came here once or twice when he was young, so he didn't have any special impression of this place, so he couldn't help being curious if he came again today.

The two took the token from the Ministry of Rites and entered the guest house smoothly.

The steward of the mansion led them to find Zhao Xun. Li Yue was curious about Zhao Xun's life now, so he asked casually: "This third prince, is he still used to living here? I heard that he lived here ten years ago. In a few years."

The steward smiled and said: "Is there any difference if you are used to living here or not? The third prince's name is nice, but no matter how nice he is, he is still a prisoner. If a prisoner comes to us, can he still expect to live like a prince? Hehe."

Li Yue frowned when he heard the words, his voice suddenly became colder, and he asked: "Da Yu has rules, and he should treat protons like honored guests..."

"What kind of guest are you serving? My little brother, I think you are still too young. The rules are set by the superiors, and we are the ones who enforce them. You say that he is a prisoner, who among us is willing to serve him as a guest?" Again.

Li Yue heard anger in his eyes, Shen Xuan walked side by side with him, couldn't help tugging at his sleeves, for fear that he would reveal his whereabouts as anger.

Fortunately, Li Yue could still bear it for a while, and didn't explode on the spot, but he stopped talking along the way, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

The two of them followed the steward all the way, and they even came to the entrance of a side courtyard at the end of the guest house. The location of the courtyard was extremely bad at first glance. Before they stepped into the courtyard, they felt the desolation and desertedness that came to their faces.

"Does the third prince live here, or is he temporarily placed here?" Li Yue asked.

"Of course I live here." The steward said.

Li Yue asked again: "You treat him so harshly, are you not afraid of His Majesty's investigation? He was brought back by His Majesty himself."

"Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, you can't take care of yourself, so how can you take care of a proton!" The steward said as a matter of course: "But it's okay, if His Majesty wants to visit this person, we will temporarily place him in the front yard, which can still save some face. .”

One is "too busy to take care of himself" and the other is "this little face", Li Yue is almost fuming with anger.Although he knew that he was losing power, he never thought that in the eyes of ordinary people, he would be so useless.

This is not the part that made him angry the most, what made him most angry was that he thought that bringing Zhao Xun back to the capital would be regarded as protecting the other party and giving him a safe place, but he never thought that he would be humiliated so soon after he came here.

With Zhao Xun's temper, he must be furious at being treated so harshly, right?Li Yue felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it. He suppressed the guilt in his heart and stepped into the dilapidated courtyard.
