In charge

For the matter of King Qin Yang, Shu Yunci specially went to Shangde Palace to consult the Supreme Emperor Yuanming Emperor.Emperor Yuanming suggested that King Qinyang should be dealt with according to the patriarchal clan of the royal family. The most common practice of the royal patriarchal clan is to confine him. The duration of confinement varies depending on the size of the crime.King Qinyang's treasonous crime should have been imprisoned until he died.

Shu Yunci didn't say much, if this matter was not announced to the officials, then this method is feasible.But now everyone in the entire court knew that King Qin Yang sent people to assassinate the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. Such a serious crime was only a life-long ban, which was a bit too lenient.

Seeing Shu Yunci's silence, Emperor Yuanming knew that this matter was related to the majesty of the emperor, and it was a game between the emperor and his ministers.He has not encountered such a situation for many years in office, because he has never pushed himself to the point where he cannot retreat.

"Father, do you think I'm being too reckless?" In front of Emperor Yuanming, Shu Yunci was still the same as before.He will kill and make decisions, and he will also show his admiration for being a child.

"Ci'er, you are too stubborn, you don't leave a way out for others, and you don't leave a way out for yourself either. You firmly believe that you can handle everything well, but everything happens in case, and the court is even more turbulent. Weird. The emperor checks and balances, isn’t the courtiers checking and balancing? Your crisis this time is not caused by King Qin Yang’s assassination, but your previous eagerness for quick success. The hidden country has been suffering for a long time. You also need to be cautious." Emperor Yuanming's voice revealed the wisdom of the emperor.

Shu Yunci bit her lip, "I don't want to retreat."

Emperor Yuanming smiled and said: "Then I won't retreat. Emperor Father believes that you will have a solution."

After returning from Shangde Palace, Shu Yunci had already made a decision.King Qin Yang must not be lenient, otherwise this incident will become an example for future generations.

On the carriage back to the city, Jiang Fengmin asked, "Have you decided?"

"It's decided. No matter what the consequences will be, I will not compromise." Shu Yunci said firmly.

"It's good to make a decision. Can you take a good rest? You didn't sleep well last night." Jiang Fengmin looked at it with distress.

Shu Yunci glared at her, "You still have the guts to say it?" Who is pestering her endlessly every night?

Jiang Fengmin shrank his neck, "I love you so much."

As soon as the carriage entered the capital, there was noise in front of it.This time Shu Yunci did not bring out the emperor's ceremonial guard, but just took an ordinary carriage with Jiang Fengmin, not even a silk bottle.At this time, the carriage had stopped, and the guard driving the carriage whispered beside the curtain: "Your Majesty, there is a ready-made clothing store in front, and many ladies and ladies are rushing to buy ready-made clothes. The road is blocked, do you want to change the way back to the palace? "

"A tailor shop?" Shu Yunci found it interesting.The capital is at the foot of the emperor, and there are many rich and powerful families, and ready-made clothes are generally not considered by these rich and powerful families.Wealthy families invite tailors to tailor new clothes in advance throughout the year, so why rush to buy them at tailors?

But it's fun, she's busy with politics, but she doesn't have time to watch the fun.The guards drove the carriage into another street and made a detour back to the palace.

Although Shu Yunci had made a decision, the matter of King Qin Yang had to wait until Sheng Ci came back and King Qin Yang's family members arrived.The next day when Shu Yunci came back from court and was approving memorials, Si Ping came to report, saying that Princess Yiqing sent someone to send an invitation to invite Shu Yunci to the Princess's mansion to appreciate the plum blossoms, and the time would be five days later.

The eldest princess of Yiqing is the younger sister of Emperor Yuanming, and the son-in-law is just an ordinary scholar without any great talent, but she has been in love with the eldest princess for many years, playing harmoniously with each other.Princess Yiqing liked Shu Yunci very much, and loved her very much since she was a child.There is a large plum garden in the princess mansion, which is the best place to enjoy plum blossoms in the capital.

"Auntie is missing me." Shu Yunci calculated carefully, since he succeeded to the throne, he hasn't been to the eldest princess's mansion even once, it really shouldn't be.

"Go and tell the messenger that I will definitely attend my aunt's banquet on time."

Five days later, Shu Yunci took Jiang Fengmin out of the palace together.When the two arrived at the Eldest Princess' Mansion, they were bound to be greeted along the way.Princess Yiqing is over forty years old, and she is still radiant because of proper maintenance.

"Your Majesty can come, the Princess's Mansion really

It is flourishing. "Princess Yiqing is a person who loves to laugh. When she smiles, there are two dimples on her cheeks, which look a little cute.

"My aunt invites me, how dare I postpone it?" Shu Yunci took a sip of the hot tea handed over by Princess Yiqing, and praised: "This green plum tea is sour and sweet, it must be made by aunt herself."

Eldest Princess Yiqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty has loved drinking this tea since she was a child. Unfortunately, green plum tea cannot last long, but I also made some and will take it with you when Your Majesty returns to the palace." Eldest Princess Yiqing blew gently. The froth on the tea, "The flower hall on the west side is vacant, and the ladies from various prefectures are playing there. Your majesty is not very old, why don't you go and have a look?" It is said that it is plum appreciation, and the ladies and ladies are dressed thickly I just walked around in the Merlin. Although the weather is not too cold, these pampered ladies and ladies can only stay in the room.

But Shu Yunci said: "My aunt's plum garden is the most famous in the capital. I want to go with General Jiang to enjoy the plum blossoms, and then go to the flower hall."

The two entered the plum garden together, but it was a pity that the snow had not yet fallen, but the plum blossoms had just opened, and they looked really beautiful.

Jiang Fengmin was not afraid of the cold, he didn't even wear a cloak in this weather. "What do you think the eldest princess wants you to come here for?"

Shu Yunci shook his head. "It's best to have no purpose." But she also knew that this was impossible.After she ascended the throne, the simple kinship relationship in the past can no longer be found.

The two wandered back and forth in the plum garden until the banquet began.

At the banquet, because of Shu Yunci's presence, everyone was very respectful and careful.So, if there is no purpose, who would invite an emperor to make the whole house so restless?

Eldest Princess Yiqing said: "Today is the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet, you don't need to be too polite. It is an honor for the Eldest Princess Mansion that Your Majesty can come. Please take your seat, Your Majesty."

Shu Yunci was arranged at the host's table, while Jiang Fengmin was arranged at the other tables.Neither of them said anything about the arrangement.Shu Yunci said: "Auntie is right. I am here today to admire the plum blossoms. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be cautious."

Everyone was having a banquet, and during the banquet, Jiang Fengmin felt that all kinds of searching eyes were always falling on him.She was also embarrassed that anyone who looked at her would look back, so she pretended not to notice and lowered her head to eat.

On the other side, Shu Yunci's meal was interrupted several times.First, Princess Yiqing's daughter, Princess Hanshan's sister-in-law came over to toast a glass of wine, and then more and more young ladies came to toast.For the girl Shu Yunci is still more face-saving, but it's not a big deal to have one cup left and one cup right.

Just when Jiang Fengmin couldn't sit still and was about to stand up, Shu Yunci spoke first. "Everyone, I have something else to do, so I'll leave the table first." She stood up, greeted Eldest Princess Yiqing a few words, and brought Jiang Fengmin back to the palace.

On the carriage back to the palace, Shu Yunci leaned against Jiang Fengmin's arms, "Do you know what their purpose is today?"

Jiang Fengmin curled his lips, "There are so many beautiful official ladies, it can be seen that they all want to enter the palace."

Shu Yunci smiled, "You have always been very clever in this regard."

"That's right, my Yunci is so good, how many people are going to grab it, I have to watch it." Jiang Fengmin said and hugged the person in his arms even tighter. "But I don't understand, why did Princess Yiqing do this?" The dignified princess has become a mediator.

"Didn't you see that Princess Hanshan's sister-in-law was the first one who came to toast? I guess my aunt did it for her daughter's well-being in her in-law's house." She sighed, "Poor parents in the world, I don't care. Blame her. It's a pity that her calculations will eventually come to nothing." She turned her head, her cheeks flushed from drinking, her watery eyes, and she looked at Jiang Fengmin affectionately.

Jiang Fengmin's throat felt dry. "If you look at me like this again, I don't know what I will do."

Shu Yunci giggled. "You can't do it in the carriage. We'll talk about what to do when we get back to the dormitory." She was indeed a little drunk and dizzy. As she said no, she grabbed Jiang Fengmin's collar, pulled him closer, and kissed him Jiang Fengmin's lips.

Jiang Fengmin stretched out his hand resignedly, carefully protecting Shu Yunci from falling due to unsteady movements, and at the same time opened his mouth to cooperate.Her Majesty the Empress made it very clear that Jiang Fengmin was not in the carriage.

OK, but she can.

The carriage entered the palace gate all the way, and when it arrived here, it was time to change into a walking carriage.The guards stopped the carriage and turned around to ask for instructions, when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Jiang Fengmin came out of the carriage holding Shu Yunci, who was already drunk, "Your Majesty is drunk, I will take her back to Xihua Palace to rest first, you don't need to." Follow." After she finished speaking, she tiptoed a little, and carried him up to the roof of the palace, and soon disappeared.

The guard put down the car curtain, with a look of no surprise on his face. This is a normal operation, and there is no need to make a fuss.

As soon as Si Ping came out of the dormitory with someone holding a brazier, he saw Jiang Fengmin holding Shu Yunci and falling into the courtyard.Without batting an eyelid, Si Ping waved her hand to make the little eunuch who was carrying the brazier back down, and she turned around and opened the door of the dormitory to let Jiang Fengmin in.

The bedroom was just warmed by the brazier, but because Shu Yunci didn't like fireworks, Si Ping had to remove the brazier before Shu Yunci came back.

Jiang Fengmin directly carried Shu Yunci into the bathroom at the back of the dormitory, and worked tirelessly to take a bath for Her Majesty the Empress.Shu Yunci woke up halfway, messed around for a while and fell asleep again.She was still sleeping in the water, but fortunately Jiang Fengmin was there, and quickly picked him up, and put him in his arms to take care of him carefully.

After taking a shower, Jiang Fengmin carried him out of the bathroom. Si Ping had already prepared clothes and sober tea, but he had disappeared.Who dares to step forward at this time?The great benefits of serving Her Majesty the Empress must all belong to Jiang Fengmin, and whoever snatches them will destroy them.

Jiang Fengmin helped Shu Yunci put on the undershirt, but he started to be indecent when he put on his hands.Shu Yunci was disturbed while she was sleeping soundly, she was not the person who could bear it, and she pushed Jiang Fengmin aside in a daze.

Jiang Fengmin had a headache.You can still cooperate with yourself when you are awake, why is it so difficult to deal with when you are asleep?She had no choice but to sleep peacefully with her in her arms.

Shu Yunci woke up in the middle of the night and felt thirsty, so he pushed away the arm that was hugging him, and just when he sat up, he felt that arm tightened, and he hugged himself tightly again.

"Yunci!" Jiang Fengmin looked like a frightened wild animal, his eyes glowing faintly in the darkness.

"I'm here, don't be so nervous." Shu Yunci lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "I'm thirsty."

Jiang Fengmin hurriedly got out of bed and lit the candles. Although there was tea, it was already cold. "I'm going to get someone to make a pot of hot tea."

Shu Yunci shook his head, "It's midnight, don't bother them."

Jiang Fengmin got a cup of cold tea, and Shu Yunci put it in his hand, urging her internal force. The soul-refining flame she practiced recently belongs to Yanyang internal force, and the tea soon became warm.

"How long will it take for you to practice the soul refining flame?" Jiang Fengmin saw that she was making rapid progress, and estimated that it would not take long to succeed.

But Shu Yunci shook his head, drank a few sips of tea to moisten his dry throat, "It's not that easy. It's just that the progress in the early stage is very fast, and I still need your help later."

Jiang Fengmin pointed to his nose, "What can I help you with?"

"The most difficult thing about practicing Soul Flame is that the body will be too hot in the later stage. Many people are burned to death like this. Therefore, most people who practice Soul Flame will go to the extreme north to find an ice cave and freeze themselves in it. .”

After saying this, Jiang Fengmin understood.The cold air of my own Ice Art can counterbalance the heat of Shu Yunci's soul-refining flame, "It's good that it can help you, I can't bear to let you freeze in the ice hole."

Shu Yunci raised his head, his pretty face was extremely moving under the dim candlelight.She put her head on Jiang Fengmin's neck, "I always say that feelings are the most uncontrollable thing, but I rely on you blindly. Feng Min, have I become vulnerable like this? Otherwise, why would I Worried about a mere King Qin Yang?"

In the dark night, in this square inch surrounded by the bed curtain, Shu Yunci finally expressed his distress.No matter how strong she is, she is still an individual, she will worry, be anxious, and doubt herself.And the only person she can confide in is the one in front of her.

Jiang Fengmin stretched out his hand to stroke Shu Yunci's soft long hair, the silky touch made her heart itch. "Yunci, do you trust me?"

Shu Yunci frowned, "Nonsense!"

Uh... Jiang Fengmin scratched his head, it was indeed nonsense. "now that

Trust me to do what you want, no matter when and where, as long as I am here, I can protect you. "

Shu Yunci put his arms around her neck, smiling sweetly and gently. "After all, you are still a guard. I probably found the wrong person. This kind of thing should be discussed with Sheng Ci."

Uh... Jiang Fengmin continued to scratch his head.Is this being... despised?Then why is she still smiling so softly?

"You...don't dislike me?" Jiang Fengmin asked tentatively.

Shu Yunci's hands around her neck tightened again, "This kind of thing is not your specialty, it's because I made it difficult for others, so I don't blame you."

So easy to talk to?Jiang Fengmin was sure that Shu Yunci must not be fully awake yet.But if you're not fully awake, you've finally woken up, so can you do some exercise?

Shu Yunci rubbed his face against Jiang Fengmin's chest, "Don't think wildly, my headache hurts, I need to rub it."

Jiang Fengmin's body went limp from the soft voice, and hastily stretched out his hands to gently rub Shu Yunci's temples, "Is it better?"

"Hmm..." Shu Yunci grunted.

Jiang Fengmin didn't know whether the sound was good or bad, so he continued to rub her. After rubbing for a long time, she realized that Shu Yunci had fallen asleep.

"You are just relying on my kindness to you to torture me."

In the early morning of the next day, Ning Zhennv Emperor Shu Yunci suddenly mentioned that this year's Yin Kingdom was able to survive the siege of the Three Kingdoms without any danger, thanks to the bravery of the generals.She saw that many military generals or their nephews had grown up and had not married in the military camp all year round. She planned to select some women of the right age from the noble ladies in the capital to propose marriage, and asked the officials for their opinions.

As soon as these words came out, apart from the joyful faces of the military commanders and the normal faces of individual ministers, many civil officials whose families had daughters who had reached marriageable age all changed their faces.The civil servants are clean, so they naturally look down on those generals.The daughters in the family have been taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and they are raised like delicate flowers. How can they be willing to ration such a big and three rough man?But once the emperor decides to marry, not marrying is a disobedience, which is a serious crime of beheading.

Of course, these ministers also understood why the emperor had such a proposal.Yesterday, many officials and family members went to the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet held by Princess Yiqing.They all have the same purpose, since the emperor can keep Jiang Fengmin by his side, why can't he keep other women?Speaking of which, Jiang Fengmin is also a general, but he is not as good-looking and talented as his daughter at home.If the emperor really only likes women, then that's okay, the daughter was meant to be married off to bring benefits to the family.If it can be sent to the palace, what does it matter if the emperor is a man or a woman?

These officials and ladies may not be willing to marry a woman, even if this woman is an emperor.But they can't disobey their father and brother at home, anyway, it's just to come and see, it doesn't matter.

It's just that these ministers didn't expect Shu Yunci's reaction to be so fast. They only went to the banquet yesterday, and today they are going to marry their daughter.

The ministers looked at each other, and finally someone stood up for the sake of the daughter at home and said: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to the officers and men at the border. The ministers understand. It's just that many of the official women have marriage contracts, and if there are none, the family has its own considerations. If Your Majesty specifies marriage, Although it is a good intention, I am afraid that one marriage will be fulfilled, but another marriage will be ruined."

Shu Yunci nodded after hearing this, "Master Sun is right. In this way, after returning home, all the adults will carefully find out whether there are any unmarried and unengaged women in the family, and report them all. I will be a matchmaker. If there is an engagement There is no need to report, so as not to embarrass you adults."

This is Shu Yunci's prestige to these ministers.Don't keep staring at her harem, otherwise she has many ways to deal with these women.

Of course, the ministers did not enter the registration list, and even if some wanted to marry generals, they contacted them privately.If the emperor decides to marry, who knows if it will be a mess.

What happened in the court hall quickly reached the ears of Eldest Princess Yiqing.She hurried into the palace to plead guilty, but Shu Yunci was very polite to her.Not only did he not convict, but he also gave Princess Hanshan a lot of rewards. "So Auntie doesn't have to be in trouble, right?"

Smart people always get it right.Shu Yunci deliberately rewarded Princess Hanshan to show Princess Hanshan's in-laws that she has a very good relationship with Princess Hanshan, so that her husband's family will not do things deliberately

Make things difficult.

Eldest Princess Yiqing was very grateful to Shu Yunci, "Your Majesty's kindness will be remembered by my wife."

As soon as this matter was settled, Sheng Ci brought his people back.And it wasn't long before Shu Yunci went to participate in the Jade Appreciation Conference in Xing Kingdom.

According to the meaning of Sheng Ci, it is best to wait for Shu Yunci to return from Xingguo to deal with the matter of King Qin Yang, so that even if there is any disturbance, Shu Yunci will have time to deal with it.If King Qin Yang's family is convicted at this time, the courtiers will feel unstable, and the emperor is not in the country, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be taken advantage of by those who want to.

"You know the situation best in this matter, and everything is up to you." Shu Yunci took a few glances at the memorial to Qin Yang's trip written by Sheng Ci, "Who does Qin Yang want to replace? You should already have someone in mind right?"

Sheng Ci nodded. "I made up my mind on the way back. King Qinyang has been running Qinyang for more than [-] years. It is not suitable to have a vassal king there, and it should be directly under the jurisdiction of the central center."

Shu Yunci understood what she meant, "Is the local magistrate competent?"

"Master Li, the magistrate, is capable. This time I am in Qinyang thanks to his assistance. But..." Sheng Ci paused at this point.

"However, he has also been in Qinyang for a long time, and if he can get along with King Qinyang in peace, there is no guarantee that he will be fine. Right?" Shu Yunci smiled.

"Yes." Sheng Ci neither wanted to bury Master Li's talent, nor did he want to put Qin Yang in danger because of his personal likes and dislikes.

"Then take office in a different place." With a swipe of Shu Yunci's pen, Li Zhifu from Qinyang in the northwest went to the south to be the magistrate.

Sheng Ci recommended a small official who had just won a Jinshi last year to go to Qinyang, and Shu Yunci graciously agreed without asking why.

"Hurry up and go back to your residence to rest. It's been a long journey. You can leave the rest to Wu Shangjie." Seeing that Sheng Ci had lost weight again, Shu Yunci was really distressed.

The matter of King Qin Yang has been put on hold for the time being, and it is time for Shu Yunci to pack his luggage and go to Xing Kingdom.She saw that Si Ping was preparing something to bring, she was busy, and felt that it was not easy for her to go out, she usually could do it easily, but this time it was different, and she had to bring the full emperor's guard of honor.

In order not to disturb Si Ping's work, she went back to the study to review the memorials.Jiang Fengmin also saw that the silk bottle was packing up, and she had to take a careful inventory of all the things that the maids cleaned up, and it was troublesome to look at.

In the study, Shu Yunci saw Jiang Fengmin coming in shaking his head, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Fengmin said: "You said that you will go to Xing Kingdom with full guard of honor, and you will have to travel a long way? I think it will be years later when you come back."

"What do you want to say?" Shu Yunci supported her face with her hands, encouraging her to continue.

Jiang Fengmin looked around to see if there was no one like a thief, got up and lay down on the desk, put his mouth next to Shu Yunci's ear and said, "Why don't we go to Xingguo? Why bother?"

Shu Yunci stretched out his finger and poked.

Of course, Jiang Fengmin sat back on the chair with an "ouch" very cooperatively. "Am I wrong?"

"This time I am going on behalf of Yin Country, and you two? People still say that there is no one in Yin Country." She said, looking up and down at Jiang Fengmin, "Why don't you go."

Jiang Fengmin felt wronged, "Am I that ugly?"

Of course Jiang Fengmin is not ugly, not only not ugly, but also very pretty.Shu Yunci was afraid that she would mess around, and that Jiang Fengmin would be embarrassed if Emperor Ling would also go.

Shu Yunci also thought of this level, she didn't care. "I know what you are worried about, but they are sorry for me, why should I avoid it?"
