The night is as cool as water, and the whole capital city is filled with the smell left by the burning fireworks.

The Banruo Temple outside the city is full of incense, but there is no smell of sulfur, but it is full of the smell of burning incense, which makes people feel pure in their hearts.

Standing in the courtyard, Chen Ziming watched the fireworks exploding in the sky above the capital city. He didn't know what to think, and heaved a heavy sigh.

"It's such a beautiful night, why are you sighing?" A voice sounded from the darkness.

Chen Ziming followed the voice and saw Liu Li walking out of the darkness, he was surprised and said, "Liu Li? What a rare visitor."

"The Banruo Temple is very popular, so you shouldn't be lonely here, right?" Liu Li said.

Chen Ziming smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you come and stay for a while?"

Liu Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm here this time to take you back to the capital."

Chen Ziming was taken aback, and asked, "Could it be that... Mr. is here?"

"Well, I just arrived yesterday, but I entered the palace today." Liu Li said.

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Ziming's eyes, and he said, "That's great."

"You should have expected the affairs of the court today, and everything went smoothly." Liu Li said, "During this time, I have wronged you."

"I... I should have come here to clean up, but it's not entirely because of the arrangement of my husband." Chen Ziming said frankly.

Liu Li didn't ask why the other party needed to come to Qingxiu. Since Chen Ziming was Liu An's favorite, he somewhat respected him, but he didn't dare to be too abrupt with the other party.

Poor Chen Liang thinks he is smart, and never would have thought that his son would take refuge in Liu An early on.

At the same time, a guest that Zhao Xun would never have thought of was welcomed into the Guest Mansion, that is Liu Li's adoptive father--Lizhou Inspector Liu Jing.

Zhao Xun had heard about this person for a long time, but he had never paid a formal visit to him. He never expected to meet him in the capital today, and it was the other party who came to the door on his own initiative.

"I don't know that Inspector Liu is coming, I'm sorry." Zhao Xun said.

"Third Prince, you're being polite, it's a bit abrupt for me to come uninvited." Liu Jing said.

Liu Jing is a military officer, and he has been on the battlefield since he was a boy, so even if he deliberately restrained his heroic spirit, he still couldn't hide it.Zhao Xun thought that he had been trained in the shadows of swords and swords, but when facing Liu Jing, he was still a bit weaker.

It's no wonder that even with Li Yue's status, he would be a bit jealous of this person. It seems that Liu Jing has no false reputation.

"Your Majesty was lucky to meet you. None of us expected that you would do this for him." Liu Jing said.

He has the straightforwardness of a warrior, and he goes straight to the point when he speaks, without even being polite.But this made Zhao Xun feel very comfortable, this is his familiar way of communication.

"I didn't do anything extra for him, he deserved it." Zhao Xun said.

He hadn't figured out many things before, but now that Liu Jing reminded him, Zhao Xun understood.When he first entered the palace, the poison that was used to delay his recovery was voluntarily used by him, but this action gave Liu An a little trust in him.

Then during the winter hunt, because of Shen Xuan's temporary absence, he chose to stand up for Li Yue, which further confirmed his loyalty to Li Yue.

In Zhao Xun's view, he was just willing to do these things for Li Yue, but in the eyes of Liu An and Liu Jing, this was Zhao Xun's bargaining chip to gain trust and prove his loyalty.

In any case, Zhao Xun is the prince of Daxia after all.

"If I fail Mr. Yang's temptation, what will be the consequence?" Zhao Xun asked.

Liu Jing said: "It's hard to say. After all, His Majesty has deep affection for you. It's not advisable to kill you or send you away rashly, but no matter what, you can't stay by his side for too long."

"Then I should be lucky?" Zhao Xun smiled wryly.

"Your Majesty should be lucky. When he met you, he was so infatuated that he didn't make a mistake. You know, not all feelings in this world are equal. If you don't get what you give, there are many people." Liu Jing said.

Zhao Xun couldn't help thinking of Liu Li when he heard the words, but he didn't know whether Liu Jing's words meant anything.

"Inspector Liu came here tonight, isn't it just to talk about this?" Zhao Xun said.

"I just came to see you. I didn't entertain you well in Lizhou. If I have a chance in the future, I might meet you on the battlefield. I just came to say hello in advance." Liu Jing said.

Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel stagnant when he heard this!

battlefield?Whose battlefield?

Is it the battlefield of Dayu, or the battlefield where Dayu and Daxia met each other?

Liu Jing didn't want to say more, so he left at this point.But Zhao Xun repeatedly weighed the meaning of Liu Jing's last few words. Did the other party just say it casually, or did he mean something?

Is it a warning?Or make a point?

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everything in the court began to get on the right track.Because of Liu An's sudden return to court, the already turbulent court has become more subtle.

Everyone in the court knew the relationship between Liu An and Li Yue, so Liu An's entry into the court meant that Li Yue had a very strong and reliable backing.

Zheng Yukun was extremely partisan, and Pan Xingzhi had counted on him several times before, so the general trend was over, and now he had nothing else to do except to make Pan Xingzhi unhappy in the court.

However, Pan Xingzhi and Liu An still have some unpleasant old grievances.It's just that Liu An didn't mention it, so Pan Xingzhi naturally had to be cautious everywhere, for fear that Liu An had just arrived and held back some tricks to punish him.

Originally, Li Yue seldom expressed any opinions in the early court, but after Liu An returned to the court, he had to ask Li Yue's opinions in front of the court for everything, and gradually everyone got used to Li Yue occasionally making some decisions.

For the matter of Chunwei, Liu An became the chief examiner, and he personally appointed a highly qualified courtier to be the deputy chief examiner.In this way, everything is developing in a smooth direction, which makes Li Yue feel a little like a dream.

Everything went so smoothly, it made him a little uneasy.

"You don't need to worry about the matter of Chunwei, just think about the questions for the palace examination, and when the day comes, just do what you should do." Liu An said.

Li Yue was stunned, and asked, "Isn't the topic of the palace examination drawn up by Mr. and several other examiners? Why did you ask me to come up with the questions?"

Liu An smiled when he heard the words, and said: "All the subjects selected by the palace are your officials, so you should be the ones to draw up the questions. With me here, no one can say anything."

Li Yue nodded when he heard the words, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while.It seemed that many things that were once out of reach of him were all in front of his eyes, and he didn't even know how to deal with them one by one.

"Sir, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you..." Li Yue said.

"You are the emperor, and I am your subject. The decisions you make do not require anyone's consent, as long as they are not related to family and country affairs." Liu An said: "After the palace examination, the personnel of the sixth department need to be cleaned again. After the matter is over, you can take charge of the government, and then you will really be above ten thousand people."

Li Yue nodded when he heard the words, but his heart was still not at ease.

"It's always cold at the top. When you have power, you will inevitably lose something else. You have to learn to adapt to be a real emperor." Liu An said.

Li Yue asked: "Sir, have you made up your mind about the time to help me take charge of the government, but you have never told me?"

Liu An didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.In the final analysis, Li Yue is still a smart young man, and he can figure out many things by himself.If Liu An hadn't planned and arranged carefully in advance, everything would not have gone so smoothly.

He has been taking every step carefully, only to find in the end that Liu An has already planned for him, and all his worries are unnecessary.

"Yue'er, the reason why I didn't help you until now is because..." Liu An wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Yue.

"Because you want me to have such an experience, knowing that rights are hard-won, you will be careful every step of the way. Sir, your hard work is understood by all students." Li Yue said.

Liu An nodded in relief when he heard the words, and said, "Don't call yourself 'I' anymore, you are the emperor after all, let everyone know how far you are from them."

Li Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "I... remember."

The winter in the capital came and went even faster. After the first month, the trees began to sprout quietly.

Early this morning, the Hakka Mansion received the order, Zhao Qingming, the commander of the imperial army, personally brought people to pick Zhao Xun into the palace.

Since "Xiao Wu" suddenly died suddenly, then the power in the court was greatly changed, and then Liu An returned to the court... Smart people have already seen through the key points of this series of actions, and it seems that Zhao Xun will be taken back to the palace. It seemed less surprising.

Zhao Xun came out of the guest house, glanced at the carriage waiting outside and the Imperial Army occupying half of the street, feeling a little emotional for a moment.

Li Yue made such a big move that he almost came to pick him up in person.

Most of this action also included the young man's impulsiveness. Before that, Li Yue had to drive people out aggrievedly, but now he is finally proud. Naturally, he can't wait to tell the world that he just wants to stay with his people in a dignified way.

After entering the palace, Zhao Qingming directly led people into the main hall of Changning Palace.

After Zhao Qingming returned to his command outside the hall, he resigned.

Zhao Xun stepped into the hall, and Li Yue, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was standing in the hall waiting for him.The young man is full of vigor now, not only his demeanor has subtly changed, but even his eyebrows and eyes seem to have aged a bit.

Even though they haven't been separated for a long time, Zhao Xun feels that he doesn't recognize the person in front of him.For some reason, he suddenly remembered Liu Jing's words that day, and couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, feeling a little out of breath.

Li Yue stood there looking at Zhao Xun with a calm expression, Zhao Xun only felt that it was very strange, but unexpectedly bent his knees and wanted to kneel down to the young man.

"Zhao Xun..." The young man finally couldn't hold back, he flew forward, and then threw himself into Zhao Xun's arms, almost knocking Zhao Xun down.

A momentary daze flashed across Zhao Xun's face, and then he stretched out his arms to put his arms around the person in his arms. The two of them were so close that they could almost feel each other's heartbeat. Only then did Zhao Xun gradually regain that familiar feeling.

"Let me see..." Zhao Xun pushed the young man away a little, and then held the young man's face and looked at it for a moment, the young man's dark eyes were full of familiar passion and nostalgia again.

This is his teenager, yes.
