I was forced to marry

Emperor Jingwen had been thinking about Xiao Yue for the past few days and had just returned, so he didn't teach him much, but let him watch the memorials presented by various places.Occasionally, I would ask Xiao Yue some solutions to the problems mentioned in the memorial.

Those problems were not difficult for Xiao Yue, they were nothing more than problems of corruption and fraud, but when Emperor Jing Wen asked how to save expenditures to fill the army, Xiao Yue proposed to reduce the expenses of each palace and strictly prevent all officials from squandering and accepting bribes, which caused a lot of trouble. There was a little storm.

It is really a direct reflection of how wasteful the people here are from the food that Xiao Yue eats in the East Palace every day.Even if he is the prince, he is still alone, even if Luo Shaojin is secretly added, it is only two people.However, there are twenty dishes for lunch at most, and fifteen dishes for dinner at most.This is used to feed the pigs, maybe the pigs can't finish it.The food materials used are also very expensive and wasteful. For a good sturgeon, only the maw is used to make a dish, and the other parts are not used.

Not to mention that one day he followed the orders of Emperor Jingwen to visit the senior officials of the second rank and above, and stayed at the residence of a minister; because he didn't think carefully, he forgot to notify in advance, so he ran away with Sixi.Unexpectedly, the minister's concierge was also weak, seeing him, he immediately welcomed him in without saying a word, and didn't let anyone rush to report him.

As soon as Xiao Yue entered the hall, he bumped into the minister who was accepting bribes, and the white gold blinded Xiao Yue's eyes.But I can't treat it as if I didn't see it, so I reported it to Emperor Jingwen when I came back.Emperor Jingwen was furious, and immediately ordered the removal of the man's official position, and confiscated all his family property. He also praised Xiao Yue, saying that he knew how to condescend to honor, and secretly investigated one.

Xiao Yue responded with a wry smile, if he said that he really just forgot to let the people below inform him, he was lucky to meet him, I don't know how Emperor Jingwen felt.

What's more terrible is that since then, those ministers seem to be more respectful to him, and everyone is afraid that he will make an unannounced visit to the house.Coincidentally, Emperor Jingwen asked this question again, so Xiao Yue combined the examples around him and made a speech. Who would have thought that as soon as the words came out, all the concubines and officials at all levels took the lead in advocating frugality.

After this month, I really saved more than a thousand taels of silver, and it really came from thrift.It's just that since then, Xiao Yue's reputation as the prince has gotten better and better.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yue felt miserable, but Luo Shaojin had a satisfied smile on his face.Xiao Yue knew at a glance that Luo Shaojin must have contributed to the flames here, otherwise, with his brain, how could he not remind himself what to pay attention to when going to the official's mansion.What's more, these things are compact and clever.

However, for his subordinates, Xiao Yue has nothing to do except stare at him.

But now, Li Yuanjing was coming, the letter of credence had arrived, and it was too late to stop him, so he had to wait until he came to see what he wanted to do.But today in Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Jingwen, who had never asked him about the state of the country, suddenly turned his head to look at him who was sitting aside reading the memorial, and asked, "Yueer, what do you think of the Three Kingdoms? "

Xiao Yue was reading the memorial and almost closed his eyes, when he heard Emperor Jingwen's question suddenly, he woke up immediately after dozing off, which was unexpected.

Emperor Jingwen sat on the dragon chair, with his elbows resting on the arm of the chair, and holding an emerald Buddha bead in his hand. He seemed to be asking casually, but Xiao Yue had already seen the look of expectation from his shrewd eyes.

With the lessons learned from the past, Xiao Yue really didn't want to make random remarks and cause trouble for himself. Although those troubles were glorious in the eyes of others, he didn't think so.

Straightening his body, Xiao Yue casually said that he just wanted to deal with it, and by the way let Emperor Jingwen realize that his son is actually very mediocre.

Xiao Yue said: "The mob is not good enough." After speaking, he stared at Emperor Jingwen, and saw that Emperor Jingwen stopped his hand playing with the Buddhist beads, his face was even more expressionless, and the look of expectation in his eyes immediately receded.

Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that although the world is divided, in fact, any country has his strength.

Dazhou has the longest history, the largest population and the richest resources.Beiliu is fierce and good at fighting, and all the old and weak, women and children in the country can ride horses and fight.As for the Three Kingdoms that Emperor Jingwen asked about, although the two are relatively weaker in comparison, they still have merits.

Southern Chu has the best terrain, lying between Dazhou and Beiliu, but it is exquisite in all directions. Li Yuanjing has the appearance of an emperor, and he is especially good at winning people's hearts; The growing population of the country is also a serious problem; and although Dongyu seems to be the weakest, Dongyu is especially good at researching drugs and training spy assassins. More than a dozen spy assassins can be as powerful as an army.

Therefore, Emperor Jingwen would not be disappointed when he uttered those eight words so arrogantly.

Xiao Yue was feeling relieved, but suddenly he heard Emperor Jing Wen slap the table suddenly, then got up and looked at himself laughing happily.After a few hahas, he walked over a few steps and put his hands on his shoulders solemnly, with a complacency on his face that he had never seen before.I just heard Emperor Jingwen happily say: "My son is extremely intelligent and far-sighted, and he solved the problems that have besieged the emperor for many years."

Xiao Yue blushed, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"If the Three Kingdoms don't unite, how can they be successful? If they unite, what's the difference between them and the mob!" Emperor Jingwen looked enlightened, and when he was excited, he slapped Xiao Yue's shoulder vigorously, causing Xiao Yue a burst of pain.

"What the father said is very true." Xiao Yue said quickly, his shoulders were red and swollen, not wanting to be slapped, and he controlled Emperor Jingwen's excited emotions.But Emperor Jingwen asked directly: "Then according to Yueer, what should we do to deal with those mobs?"

Emperor Jingwen was really interested, and now he was staring at Xiao Yue with even more anticipation.But Xiao Yue couldn't speak out because of his suffering. He only thought for a moment, and then threw the question back, "Even if the Three Kingdoms unite, Beiliu will win. Why does the emperor attach so much importance to it?"

Emperor Jingwen let go of the hand holding Xiao Yue's shoulder, and retreated to sit on the dragon chair; Xiao Yue really wanted to rub his numb shoulder, but saw Emperor Jingwen raised his hand to signal him to sit down.

"Yue'er doesn't know that even though Beiliu won the Three Kingdoms that day, it also paid a huge loss. Besides, it was also caused by the misjudgment of the kings of the Three Kingdoms. I was afraid of subjugation, so I surrendered; if I really fight to the death, the outcome is not certain.”

Xiao Yue nodded thoughtfully. The three countries do have their own advantages. Together, they are a cancer-like threat to both Dazhou and Beiliu.As for cancerous tumors, it is best to remove them in time at the early stage of discovery, so Beiliu took action first.As for Da Zhou remaining unmoved, he just had the attitude of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

It seems that Emperor Jingwen must have thought that the Three Kingdoms and Beiliu would fight to the death and win, but even if they won, their vitality would be seriously injured. All three countries were taken.

It's just that Emperor Jingwen didn't expect them to surrender.

"Yue'er knows, who suggested the idea of ​​surrender that day?" Emperor Jingwen looked at him, his face gradually gloomy.

Xiao Yue's mind was spinning very fast. After Emperor Jing Wen said so much, he only thought about it for a while, and he guessed who it was, "Li Yuanjing?"

Emperor Jingwen smiled.

"What the father thought, he also thought of it. Although this person is as talented as the crown, he has a careful mind, knows how to advance and retreat, and shows weakness. He has already preserved his strength. Now that he thinks about it, when Beiliu attacked Linyuan City that day, the city was about to be destroyed. Li Yuan Jing also didn't let Dong Yu and Xi Jin help. He must have expected that with you, Da Zhou would definitely send troops, and finally let him wait until Luo Hong. This man's courage and vision are beyond the reach of others. Ruo Beiliu The strength was strong that day, if Da Zhou and Bei Liu went to war, both sides would definitely lose, this Li Yuanjing should not be underestimated."

As Emperor Jingwen spoke, his tone became suppressed.

Xiao Yue also understood that Li Yuanjing seemed to be surrendering himself and attaching himself to Beiliu that day, but he actually wanted Dazhou to send troops to fight Beiliu, but he didn't expect that Beiliu's strength was not as strong as he imagined.

In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers of Southern Chu. This person is really scary.

But...Xiao Yue thought of something, and looked up at Emperor Jingwen: So, you acquiesced in Bai Xiyu's coming to him?Or, it was you and the sect master who arranged for Bai Xiyu to come to him?Xiao Yue couldn't figure it out, but he didn't ask any more questions at this time.

"Thus, how should Yue Erjue deal with them?" Emperor Jingwen threw the question back again, Xiao Yue thought about it this time, and then seriously said: "Treat them one by one."

Emperor Jingwen smiled, his eyes were clear, "This is my son. Compared with that fake, he is more than a hundred times better. It is ridiculous that the father is also stupid once."

Xiao Yue smiled stiffly, and said some polite words to deal with it, but he already guessed in his heart that the Three Kingdoms came together this time, and Li Yuanjing was the leader again, it seemed that they were here to make trouble.

It's still early today when I get out of the Qinzheng Hall, and the application time has just arrived.Xiao Yue thought it was too early to greet the queen, after all, the queen only had the prince's son, and the real prince...he had to do his filial piety for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yue felt that if the Japanese really withdrew, or deliberately did something to make Emperor Jingwen abolish him, wouldn't the position of the queen be in jeopardy? Wouldn't the mother's family, the Wen family who supported him, be affected too?

The so-called difficulty of riding a tiger refers to his current situation.

While thinking about it, Xiao Yue went to Duanfeng Palace accompanied by Sixi, but when passing by a corridor, he saw two young eunuchs scolding an old mother.The old mama was in her sixtieth year, her face was very haggard, her plain palace attire was old and tight, now she was holding a stack of neat clothes and being scolded by the two eunuchs, it was even more embarrassing I can't bear it.

"What are you doing!" Xiao Yue stood with his hands behind his back, shouted at the eunuchs, and walked over.

Several people turned around and saw that it was the crown prince, and knelt down and kowtowed tremblingly. One of the eunuchs explained: "Back to the crown prince, this Nanny Qi is holding the laundry washed by the concubine Rong. Because it was delivered late, the empress is in a hurry to wear it. , we just reprimanded her a few words."

Xiao Yue gouged out the eunuch's eyes, and said coldly: "Concubine Rong only has this clothes to wear? What's more, you scolded her and blocked her way, wouldn't it be slower, what's your intention?"

When the two eunuchs heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed for mercy.Xiao Yue hates this kind of person the most, blindly holding chicken feathers as arrows and bullying others. "This nanny is about the age of your grandma, and in terms of seniority in the palace, she is much older than you. How can you scold me at will!"

"The prince forgives the prince, the prince forgives the sin." The two eunuchs kowtowed blindly, Xiao Yue couldn't understand it, so he asked them to take the clothes from the mother's hand and give them to Concubine Rong.When the two eunuchs saw that the prince had not punished and blamed him, they hurriedly took their clothes and left.

"Get up." Xiao Yue bent down to help the nanny. Kneeling in front of him at such an age really wanted to shorten my life. However, my brother Hades wouldn't sacrifice it because of this kind of thing. My tho.

"Thank you, old slave, Prince." Nanny Qi said in a hoarse voice, and took a step back, not daring to let Xiao Yue continue to support her.

"Still doing laundry at the Laundry Bureau at such an advanced age?" Xiao Yue frowned, and had to go and talk to the queen, which was a bit inhumane.

"Back to the crown prince, this old servant was originally from Ye Youting, but because Xiaoshi from the Huanyi Bureau caught wind and cold, he couldn't help Concubine Rong deliver the clothes, and there was no one to help, so this old servant happened to pass by, so he helped me by the way."

"Yeyouting?" Xiao Yue was puzzled, he had searched all the departments in the palace when he came back, but he had never heard of such a place.Seeing that he was puzzled, Sixi hurriedly came up to him and whispered in his ear: "Yeyouting are all criminal slaves, they are responsible for cleaning toilets and cleaning latrines and other jobs, and they will never stop dying."

Xiao Yue remembered the obscene words that the two eunuchs scolded her just now, and suddenly realized.

"The old servant is so lowly that he might offend the prince, it's really a crime."

"It doesn't matter, I will go to mention it to my mother. Although they are sin slaves, those who are over sixty don't have to do these anymore. You can go back." Xiao Yue couldn't bear it and said.

Nanny Qi didn't look overjoyed after hearing this, she just knelt down and sincerely thanked her.

Xiao Yue didn't say much, and let her back down.Nanny Qi bowed and retreated, but when she passed the corner, she looked back at Xiao Yue, her gaze was very dark.

In Duanfeng Palace, Xiao Yue mentioned this matter, and the Queen agreed after a little thought.These things are trivial to her, as long as they are harmless, there is no harm in changing them, not to mention that in this way, the prince will have monuments to build no matter whether he is in the palace or in the previous dynasty.

Xiao Yue stayed in Duanfeng Palace to accompany the queen for dinner before returning to the East Palace.This day really suffocated him, when he had dinner with Emperor Jingwen at noon, he was restrained to watch his words and demeanor, and when he had dinner with Empress Wen in the evening, even though he didn't have to watch his words and demeanor, he was still restrained.Fortunately, after returning to the East Palace, there is no need to be so cautious in front of Luo Shaojin.

"Your Highness will take a rest tomorrow, what do you want to do?" Luo Shaojin brought a stack of white and soft glutinous rice cakes to Xiao Yue, and asked while sitting beside him.

Xiao Yue was not full because of his restraint, now seeing the steaming glutinous rice cake, his taste buds were excited, no matter how many, he picked up a piece and started to eat.

"Xiu Mu? Yes, it is indeed Xiu Mu." Xiao Yue nodded. Fortunately, Emperor Jingwen was wise and knew that he would give his son two days off every ten days, so he could play freely, otherwise the prince would be really tired.

"Where does your Highness want to go?" Luo Shaojin poured him a glass of water, Xiao Yue took a sip, and swallowed the glutinous rice cake that was almost choking, "I have never been to many places outside Jing'an, choose a few interesting places Take a look." This is Xiao Yue's truth, and it is also the truth of the prince, who was very dedicated to his work during his lifetime, and even Xiu Mu was reading books and reciting poems in the East Palace.

"There are many interesting places. Would you like to visit the most famous Xuanyu Tower in Jing'an?" Luo Shaojin asked with a smile.

"Xuanyu Tower? Where is it?"

Luo Shaojin stretched out his finger to take away the glutinous rice cake sticking to the corner of his mouth. Xiao Yue had been with him for so long, and he was used to his seemingly intimacy, which was actually a gesture of loyalty, so he didn't take it seriously.

"The same place as Guiyun Tower."

Luo Shaojin said lightly.Xiao Yue nodded, and then suddenly realized after a moment.Looking at Luo Shaojin in disbelief: Could it be that my family already knew about my sexual orientation, so they want to take me to experience it so early?

"Your Highness, there will be a good show to watch tomorrow."

Luo Shaojin rolled his bright eyes, and the bewildered smile on his handsome face really made people want to pull him to find out the root of the problem.However, unless he wants to say it, you will never be able to figure it out.

"Then I'll wait and see." Xiao Yue responded to him, but really looked forward to it.

Luo Shaojin smiled and said nothing, Xiao Yue continued to eat glutinous rice cakes, but asked strangely while eating, "How do you know I'm not full?"

Luo Shaojin was lying on the couch under the window, looking at the willow trees blowing up in the wind, without saying a word.

Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Yue didn't bother to ask any more, just took a few more bites, and casually said: "The taste of this soft glutinous rice cake is the same every time, even the taste is the same as the one I ate that night in Linyuan City. Is the cook in my Eastern Palace and the official office in Linyuan City the same person? Or is this recipe too simple, and everyone who cooks it has the same taste? It's neither sweet nor bland, it's soft, delicious and satisfying."

Luo Shaojin turned his head to look out of the window, his face turned around, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Xiao Yue who was still eating vigorously.
