Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

The team had no choice but to stay in the small town. After such a stay, many people suffered from physical problems, most of them were caused by wind and cold, and some old injuries broke out due to the cold, which really kept everyone busy for a while. Even the healers of the nearest town were summoned.

At this moment, the surrounding officials also knew that the General of the Northwest had stayed in the territory under their jurisdiction. With this layer in the way, no one knew that the new emperor who was about to enthroned was also here.

The snow has stopped, and the sun has melted for a few days. The coldness is unbearable to the local people, let alone the Kou family soldiers from the south, who will not go out for nothing.

Li Xu survived the wind and cold, and came back to life again. Counting the days, there are only ten days left before New Year's Eve.

"It's time to leave." Li Xu sighed. In fact, if he could, he really didn't want to sit in that position. He would be firmly bound to death for the next few decades. When he became emperor, he might even have the chance to leave the palace. There are very few.

Kou Xiao came back to life with full blood after sleeping for two days. He was often teased by the soldiers in private. Fortunately, he had a thick skin. If he had a thin skin, he would have buried himself in the snow.

"It's time to go back. You have disappeared for so long, and the court must be very anxious."

"I also have to exercise their independence. I have already thought about it. In the future, the three powers in the court will stand together, supervise each other, and check and balance each other. Even if there is no emperor, the government should continue to operate normally." This is Li Xu's ideal court. The emperor doesn't need to centralize power too much, there are many capable courtiers, who can completely hold up the sky of this big swallow.

"You are definitely better than me when it comes to being an emperor. Just do what you want. If anyone dares to be disobedient, this general will cut him down, and he will be obedient. When the time comes, we will drop our picks and travel around the world. "

This thought was so beautiful that Li Xuguang's heart was surging just thinking about it, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

It's really strange. In his previous life, he flew all over the world, and he can be regarded as a person who has traveled around the world. How could he fall in ancient times?Perhaps the point is to have one more person by your side, even if it’s just shopping hand in hand, it’s interesting, no wonder people have to find a partner for themselves.

"Okay, when the time comes, choose a capable child and train him well, and we can let him go when he grows up."

Kou Xiao smiled, "This... really want to do this? Will the ancestors of the Li family climb out of the imperial tomb and destroy me?"

"Don't be afraid, tell them, anyway, everyone will be neighbors in the future, so it's better to get acquainted first."

The two laughed loudly, as if they had lived their entire lives, and when they got on their horses and walked home, as the capital got closer, this relaxed and happy mood became farther and farther away.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

The court has lost its backbone, and people live in panic every day. Although the three princes and nine ministers perform their duties and can do their official duties well, they just feel that something is missing. There are fewer quarrels in the court meeting. If the king is not here, who are they arguing for?It doesn't seem to matter who wins or loses.

"It's New Year's Eve, where did the prince go?" Prime Minister Wei grabbed Liu Shu angrily and asked.

Liu Shu looked innocent, shed tears after asking a few more questions, and cried: "Master Xiang, this servant also wants to know, the prince is so cruel, he left this servant and left alone, this servant's heart is broken, I can't sleep day and night, I can't sleep or eat, I just look forward to the prince's return, if the servant knows the whereabouts of the prince, how can I stay in the imperial city, I will follow the prince long ago."

Wei Xiangye rarely met such a eunuch. The former Eunuch Zhao was a kind-hearted person on the surface, and he would not offend anyone, but no one dared to offend him. He was always smiling. Seeing such a crying bag like a tree, Mr. Xiang expressed his confusion.

"Forget it, forget it, I will send someone to look for it, the prince has a high status, if something happens outside, the world will be in chaos, and no one will feel better about it."

Liu Shu twisted his nose, and continued to cry: "Isn't it? My prince is golden and precious, what is his status, even if he loses a hair, the servant is also distressed. You should send someone to find it quickly. If you find it, let the servant know." .”

Seeing that Prime Minister Wei didn't want to talk to him, Liu Shu dragged someone to ask again: "By the way, Master Xiang, will the enthronement ceremony still be held as usual? Will the servant continue to prepare?"

"That's natural. There are still five days left. The prince has always been steady, and he will definitely be back before the enthronement ceremony."

Liu Shu patted his chest and stopped his tears, "That's good, the slave will be busy with his work. Remember to notify the slave as soon as you have news."

When Wei Xiangye turned to leave, Liu Shu took out a silk handkerchief and wiped away his tears, and then threw it to his godson Liu Quan, "Okay, keep working, it's really annoying, the prince has to worry about everything , what do you want the servants to do?"

Liu Quan flattered and flattered: "Not everyone is as smart and understanding as you. You are the only one who understands the prince's mind best in the whole world."

"Shut up, the monarch's mind is something I can only guess as a slave, just do what the master ordered."

"Yes, you are right!"

Liu Shu continued to order people to do things arrogantly, and he was also a little worried about Li Xu, but it must be safe if there is no pregnant news. At this time, the prince should have received General Kou, right?

＊＊＊＊＊＊

On the eve of New Year's Eve, every household had a small New Year's Eve, because the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was held on New Year's Eve, so everyone consciously moved the year forward, and tomorrow must be a day of national celebration.

When the night passed, a group of people slowly approached the gate of the city. Because of Li Xu's departure, the entire court lived with their heads hunched. The city also imposed a curfew. Only eighteen generations of Qing ancestors could release it.

"Go and call the door." Li Xu yawned, and wanted to sleep on his big carved bed tonight.

Guo Fu held up a token to call the door. He was Li Xu's personal guard. Everyone in the court recognized his face. The soldiers guarding the city didn't know that King Shun was not in the capital. They were curious when they saw Guo Fu calling the door with a token. He asked calmly: "Why is Vice General Guo coming back from outside at this hour? Tomorrow is the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. You came back in time."

"Stop talking nonsense, the prince sent this general to meet the Northwest General, no, I just rushed back."

When it comes to the general of the Northwest, everyone knows who it is. After all, the deeds of King Heshun have been confirmed. The guards hurriedly opened the city gate and knelt down to welcome the team into the city.

When the people walked away, the guards got up and closed the door again. Someone asked curiously: "Didn't a group of generals from the Northwest enter the city a few days ago? It turns out that General Kou didn't come back together."

Everyone didn't understand the matter above, so they forgot after mentioning it. How could they know that one of the people who came in just now was their new king.

Li Xu was covered with a cloak, and his hat was pressed low. The horse's hoof stepped on the silent street, and the echo woke up many people.

Kou Xiao sat behind Li Xu, the two of them rode a horse together, so it would be warmer, he asked: "Go to the palace or go back to the palace?"

"Go back to the palace. Take a short nap. Yin Shizheng has to get up and burn incense to take a bath. I think the sky will be very busy these few days." Li Xu has seen the process of enthronement ceremony and conferment ceremony. The process is so complicated that it is outrageous. It's about ancestor etiquette, he absolutely wants to cut down the process.

After entering the palace, Li Xu sent someone into the palace to inform Liu Shu, and then took Kou Xiao back to the room and fell asleep.

Before going to bed, he put his arms around Kou Xiao's waist and said in a daze, "You've lost weight, and I don't know if the dress fits you well."

Kou Xiao didn't care, he lost a lot of weight, but it doesn't matter if his clothes are looser in winter, who would care if the clothes on a male queen fit well, probably wouldn't dare to look up at him.

The two of them were woken up after squinting for a while. Li Xu's waking up was indistinguishable. He stared for a long time before he woke up. When he regained consciousness, he heard Liu Shu's soft voice, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up, Yu." Huo is already waiting outside the door, you have to go into the palace to take a shower and change clothes."

"Sleepy."

Liu Shu smiled and said, "I know you're sleepy, so I can sleep for a while on the road, and I'll take a bath and change clothes for you. It's not too late to open your eyes when you need to come forward."

Li Xu has been a dignitary for many years, but he is still not used to the days when he can stretch out his hands to eat and open his mouth. In this day and age, it is too easy for him to be a rice bug.

Kou Xiao put on the clothes for Li Xu, carried him out of bed and walked out, at the same time he said: "For things like bathing and changing clothes, I can just come here."

Liu Shu responded with a smile: "The dragon robe is extremely complicated. I'm afraid you won't be able to dress it properly. Besides, you have to take a bath and change clothes. The phoenix robe and phoenix crown are ready. You have to dress up. I'm afraid you won't have time to serve the emperor."

Kou Xiao said without changing his face: "That's just right, we're together."

"According to the rules, you don't have to show up for the enthronement ceremony, you just need to wait until the enthronement ceremony to show up."

Kou Xiao paused. This process made him feel dissatisfied. He would rather stand below and look up at Li Xu climbing up the ladder step by step. It must be a very sacred and beautiful scene. If he missed Li Xu's enthronement ceremony ,That's regretful.

Li Xu hugged Kou Xiao's neck, put his face on his chest, and said lightly: "Rules are made by man, there is no need to abide by such insignificant matters, let Kou Xiao participate in the enthronement ceremony as a general first .”

Naturally, Liu Shu would not refute Li Xu's words, and agreed with a smile, "Here, that slave asked someone to prepare an extra set of armor for General Kou."

"You don't need to prepare new ones, just put on the former emperor's armor that his father bestowed upon him, that one is the most imposing."

"It's still your thoughtfulness." Liu Shu immediately sent someone to prepare, and then followed Li Xu into the palace.

Some of the courtiers didn't know that Li Xu had returned. Some officials stayed up all night and complained to their wives, "It seems that today's enthronement ceremony will be postponed, and I don't know where the prince is. There is no one on such an important day."

The wife looked at the time, and pushed her husband to stand up, "Since the palace didn't come to inform the postponement, it means that the grand ceremony must be held normally. As for whether the prince is suitable or not, you don't care about it. Do your job well. That's it."

This is also true, even if the prince really didn't show up, the ministers had already recognized him as the new emperor, and the ceremony could be made up, but there was only one emperor, so he put on his official uniform and went out energetically.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

When dawn came, civil and military officials had already gathered in front of the palace gate. When they arrived here, they all knew the news that King Shun had returned to Beijing overnight, and the big stone in their hearts finally came down.

At the moment when the sun rises from the east, drums sound and melodious music comes out of the palace gate, the central gate of the imperial city is wide open, and the neatly lined Habayashi army slowly walks out, scattered on both sides of the palace gate, which means that the enthronement ceremony It's time to start.

Li Xu was dressed in a dragon robe, a crown on his head, and a sword on his waist. He stepped down from the imperial palace and climbed onto the high altar outside the palace gate. He turned around and shook his sleeves, looking down at the kneeling ministers. Lang Lang said: " Today, I bear the destiny of heaven, and I am the first to practice the state. I am sincere and fearful. I am afraid that my thoughts will not be secret, my words will not be careful, and my actions will be careless, so as to hurt the country and affect the subjects. How can I feel at ease? Therefore, starting today, I must Save yourself three times, be diligent and self-disciplined, respect the heaven and the earth and worship ghosts and gods, worry about the country and protect the people, and pray for the fortune of my great Yan country and eternal prosperity..."

After a long sacrificial speech, Li Xu ignited the flame of the furnace, and this flame will continue to burn for three days and three nights as a signal to heaven and earth.

Afterwards, Li Xu read out the imperial edict of amnesty for the world. The emperors would amnesty the world when they ascended the throne, weddings and other major events. The death row prisoners were all changed to life-long labor reform, and they were sent to the border to build city walls or go to mines. They would work for the rest of their lives in exchange for a chance to live.

After reading the imperial edict, Prime Minister Wei walked up to the high platform with the jade seal in his hand and bowed his head, and respectfully handed over the imperial jade seal to the new emperor in front of all the ministers. With the jade seal in hand, the courtiers and all the soldiers shouted: "Long live my emperor! age……"

The people in the capital also knelt down at the gates of their houses after hearing the three shouts of long live. They sincerely congratulated the new emperor on his enthronement, and at the same time hoped that the new emperor would bring them more righteous national policies and more benefits. interests of the people.

After paying homage to heaven and earth, the new emperor ascended the imperial gate and walked around the whole city to let the people admire the demeanor of the new emperor, and then turned to the ancestral temple to pay homage to the ancestors.

Li Xu was wearing a heavy dragon robe and a heavy crown on his head. After a lengthy procedure, he was already exhausted, and his chest was even hungry.

On the way back to the palace from the ancestral temple, Kou Xiao left for a while, and when he came back, he secretly threw a paper bag into the imperial palace. Li Xu opened it and saw three fat and white buns. Half of the exhaustion of the person was swept away, and he continued to sit dignifiedly and play the role of a mighty king.

After returning to Fengxian Palace, Li Xu read out the imperial edict to appoint a queen. Although there had been gossip about this matter before, most of the courtiers did not believe it. Throughout the dynasties, no man has ever been heard of as a queen. Yes, how dare Li Xu?

But not only did he dare, but he also read it with confidence, magnifying every beautiful quality of the queen infinitely, exaggerating and exaggerating, he said: "Kou Xiao is an indomitable gentleman, both civil and military, loyal and patriotic. , I have appointed Kou Xiao as the empress, from now on, the emperor and empress will work hand in hand to secure the country outside and rule the world inside, and encourage you with the king, this is my honor!"

There was silence in the hall, and everyone even forgot to breathe. Some opponents were sweating profusely, wishing to stand up and refute the absurd decision of the new emperor, but they did not dare. If they stood up to disrupt such a grand ceremony, But he will become a sinner through the ages that will be recorded in the annals of history.

But shouldn't it be against a man being a queen?Mr. Qiu thinks it should be. He was recently transferred to the imperial censor, and it was the most appropriate time to stand up, but he just took one leg, and suddenly someone behind him grabbed his arm and pulled it hard, and then someone covered his mouth and squeezed him. dragged out of the hall.

All civil and military officials who witnessed the whole process broke into a cold sweat for him. Looking at the new king sitting on the dragon chair, who has the guts to stand up?

Li Xu looked at everyone with a smile, and asked: "If everyone is meaningless, Queen Xuan will go to the palace to accept the canonization."

General Kou, who was still dressed in armor just now, changed into a heavy and luxurious dress, which looked like a phoenix robe, but it was a man's style. The phoenix crown on his head was simple and elegant, and it was also a man's style. Or a bead or a gem, all of which show the craftsman's intentions.

It can be said that this set of phoenix crowns and phoenix robes definitely spent more energy than the dragon robes, and undoubtedly showed Kou Xiao's noble side that had not been shown before. At this moment, they discovered that this man can also be a burning man in addition to being heroic. Standing beside the handsome new emperor, the noble young master of Qihua did not violate harmony at all. Both of them were rare young talents in the world. Regardless of their gender, they were willing to send their most sincere blessings.

An old minister couldn't help but ran out, knelt on the ground, strangled his neck with his belt, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't..."

The corner of Li Xu's mouth twitched, and he sighed softly, "Master He, why are you bothering?" He jumped out knowing that it was a dead end, I really don't know whether to praise him for his courage.

"Your Majesty, you have to think about Dayan's eternal life, you have no heirs yet..."

Hearing this, Li Xu didn't want to continue listening anymore, so he winked, and the Habayashi Army on the side quickly controlled Master He's hands, cut off his belt, and tied his hands together.

Li Xu smiled and said, "How many descendants are there in Master He's family?"

Ye Changqing stood up and reported: "Master He has four generations under one roof, with seven sons, twelve grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren."

"It's such a prosperous family. Go pick one tomorrow and see if there are any children of the right age, and send them into the palace to be the queen's companion. If they are smart, I can adopt them as foster children."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, but the eyes of all the ministers who knew what it meant flashed with joy. Even Mr. He didn't know whether he was frightened or overjoyed, his expression was distorted, but he didn't say another word.

"Okay, I'm still young, so I won't bother you with your heirs. You have more important things to do, so don't stare at my family affairs all day long."

The Queen's Sealing Ceremony officially started. It is still necessary to respect heaven and earth and offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple, but the process is much simpler than before. Of course, this is also due to the reason that the queen is a man, and many procedures that should have been omitted.

In the evening, there was a palace banquet. The emperor ascended the Great Treasure for the first time, amnesty the world, and gave a big gift to the people all over the world. At the palace banquet that day, he promised to open elementary schools in counties and counties across the country within three years, no matter if they were children of poor or rich families. Anyone can sign up for admission. After elementary school, there will be universities. In the future, most officials will be selected from university graduates. This system will exist at the same time as the original recommendation system, which also means that ordinary people can also be officials. , and much easier than ever.

The second day was the military parade. At the same time, Li Xu rewarded the meritorious generals in the Northwest Army. After Kou Xiao was established as a queen, he was awarded the title of a general of the country. He continued to be in charge of the Northwest Army. The courtiers recognized the emperor To continue to use troops against the Huns, with the previous big victory, no one objected.

The prosperity of a dynasty is just beginning to emerge. Maybe when the civil and military officials accept Kou Xiao as the queen, it means the harmony and trust between the emperor and ministers. One day, Li Xu will lead them to push Dayan to a higher level. Farther away, when the time comes, the sea will be clear, the rivers will be clear, and all nations will come to court.

——End of text——

Extra Story: Daily life of the Empress

At the end of the military parade, the envoys from neighboring countries who were invited to watch the ceremony were shocked and speechless. They always knew that Dayan had a vast territory and a sufficient population, but its combat effectiveness was not very strong. Even some small countries would often fight at the border. Do something small.

But today's military parade has completely changed their outlook. Dayan is not only strong and strong, but also has many new weapons, especially the small black ball thrown at the end that can blow up a small hill. Can't stand such an attack.

For a while, all the envoys treated Dayan's new emperor with humility and courtesy. Yesterday, some people laughed at the young emperor for marrying a man as queen. Today, he saw the male queen take off her heavy dress and put on a war suit. A, leading the Dayan soldiers to show off their might, they dare not underestimate him anymore.

Because there was already a state banquet last night, today Li Xu asked several ministers to receive the guests, and he and Kou Xiao went to live a two-person world together.

After spinning around for many days, both of them were exhausted. Soaking in the hot spring pool together, each occupied a corner, enjoying this rare moment of leisure with their eyes closed.

Kou Xiao opened his eyes and saw that Li Xu seemed to be asleep lying on the edge of the pool, got up and walked towards him, he was completely naked, the water in the pool only reached his waist, revealing his strong chest.

He bent down to hug Li Xu, but he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes didn't know where they fell, and he didn't seem to see him.

"What's wrong? Did you get dizzy after soaking for too long?" Kou Xiao asked softly.

Li Xu slowly came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Kou Xiao's face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "No, I fell asleep just now, and I had a dream in such a short time."

"What dream? A nightmare?" Seeing that his expression was still stiff, Kou Xiao thought he had dreamed of something bad.

"Probably." Li Xu didn't know why he suddenly dreamed about things in his previous life. The moment he was crushed by a big truck, he felt a very deep sense of fear of death. When I opened my eyes, I thought I had time-traveled again.

Kou Xiao picked him up by the waist, "Let's go, go back to the bedroom."

After landing on the shore, Li Xu pulled off the bathrobes of the two, put one on his body, and put the other on Kou Xiao, and then let Kou Xiao hug him and walked out.

Because of the enthronement ceremony and empress conferment ceremony, the palace is not as deserted as before, but the bustle is outside, belonging to Li Xu's living area, except for the eunuchs who do odd jobs every day, there are only guards who occasionally patrol past.

Li Xu, the monarch, is more worry-free than any other emperor in the past. He doesn't pay attention to ostentation, he doesn't follow the rules of etiquette, and he does most of the things himself.

The guards standing at the door of the sleeping hall saw the queen coming with the emperor in their arms, and they all bowed their heads in salute. They felt conflicted again. In the past two days, the entire court has been discussing the issue of these two. Li Xugui is the emperor, and he has an extraordinary temperament Big man, most people still think that he is the one above, after all, the majesty of the emperor cannot be violated.

But think about Kou Xiao again, does that figure and momentum seem to be inferior to others?When the two stood together, General Kou should be the main one.

So everyone was divided into two factions, one group supported the emperor, and the other group supported the queen, and even opened a gambling house to place bets, waiting for the day when the truth would be revealed.

After entering the dormitory, the lights inside were brightly lit. Liu Shu was waiting at the door holding the two people's underwear. When he saw Li Xu being carried in by Kou Xiao, his face changed. No matter how contemptuous the emperor should be, it seems that his master has no objection. If he said this, he might offend others.

Swallowing the dissatisfaction in his mouth, Liu Shu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten your dinner yet, can you pass it on?"

The two of them went straight to the hot spring after entering the harem just now, and they must be hungry after soaking for so long.

Before Li Xu could speak, Kou Xiao had already answered for him, "Let's pass it on. I want a jug of wine, and a few side dishes. The main course is noodles and seafood porridge. It doesn't need to be too rich."

Kou Xiao is used to being frugal, even if he enters the palace, he still maintains his previous living habits. If this palace becomes a cage, where words and deeds are restricted by rules, then I'm afraid he won't live in it.

Li Xu still felt weak all over, so after changing his clothes, he sat at the dining table lazily and warmed himself by the fire.

Kou Xiao blew seafood porridge to a suitable temperature for him, and coaxed him to eat half a bowl. Seeing his listless look, he asked, "Do you want to send Yan Chen to ask for a pulse?"

"No, I'm just a little tired, just take a rest."

Kou Xiao saw that he really didn't have much appetite, so he didn't let him drink, "Then go to bed early, there are two days of rest from tomorrow, we can sleep late."

The luxury of sleeping in is very rare for the two of them, and they did not do anything when they got into bed, and they just hugged each other and slept.

This night, Li Xu dreamed again, and the events of his previous life were replayed in a flash. He hadn't thought of those events for a long time. Whether it was good or bad, he didn't take it to heart at all. Suddenly remembered again?

On the contrary, the memory belonging to the original owner seemed to be locked, and he couldn't remember it at all. Li Xu woke up at night, looked at the carvings on the top of the dragon bed, and suddenly felt that he had completely merged with this era.

At this moment, he seemed to be Mr. Li who had just traveled from the 21st century. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a strange world.

An arm was pressed against his chest, and the owner of the arm hugged him tightly, asking in a low voice, "Dreaming again?"

Li Xu reacted three beats slower, and replied: "Well, it's okay, it's just some past events." Of course he remembered that he got married and became the emperor, and beside him was the love of his life.

Kou Xiao didn't know what kind of dream he had. According to his own experience, he couldn't remember the dreams he had anyway, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just pulled him to talk for a while, and saw that he was getting more and more energetic. , simply opened his skirt, and touched his fiery palm inside, "Since we can't sleep, why don't we exercise."

Li Xu relaxed his body and asked him to take care of him for a while. Last night was considered their bridal chamber wedding night, but both of them drank too much after returning from the palace banquet, and their bodies were very weak, so they didn't do anything. Tonight can make up for it. superior.

Li Xu inserted his hands into Kou Xiao's long hair, and there was no thought in his mind, only the feeling of ecstasy.

"Your Majesty, do you know that outsiders are guessing who is the dominant one between the two of us on the bed?" Kou Xiao bit Li Xu's earlobe, rubbed it slowly, nibbling this piece of soft flesh repeatedly, and it turned red.

Li Xu usually doesn't pay attention to these small things, but he also heard the wind, so he asked Kou Xiao: "Are you proud?"

Kou Xiao laughed arrogantly, "It's inevitable to be proud, but I will remember those who put their bets on the emperor, and I will ask them one by one how their eyes grow."

Li Xu bit him hard, and said angrily: "Don't be complacent, I just let you in. In terms of ethics, I am the emperor and you are the queen, so you should lie down."

Kou Xiao hugged him in a circle, let Li Xu lay on his chest, and said with a smile: "Now that the empress is lying flat, what will the emperor do?"

The world was spinning, and Li Xu was aroused with a strong pleasure. Seeing that Kou Xiao really lay flat, he became angry from embarrassment: "If you have the ability, take back the third leg!"

Usually, the two don't care too much about who goes up and who goes down, but Li Xu has long since lost his desire to be competitive, and Kou Xiao has good skills, so he thinks it's good to enjoy it while lying down.

At this moment, lying on Kou Xiao's body, he didn't want to move at all, so he patted Kou Xiao's chest, "Queen, if you don't move, the day lily will be cold."

Kou Xiao smiled lowly, hugged him up, and didn't make things difficult for him anymore, the two of them made a fuss, and afterward they didn't want to move, so they just asked someone to bring warm water in to wipe their bodies, and fell asleep like that.

Early the next morning, when Li Xu opened his eyes, he forgot that he was on vacation, so he hurriedly got up and got dressed. Seeing Kou Xiao lazily lying on the bed, he glared at him and asked, "The Generalissimo can't go to bed." Is it toward?"

Kou Xiao supported his head with one hand, watched him put on the dragon robe and crown, and said, "Today the whole court is on holiday, and the emperor goes to court alone? Besides, the general is now the queen, and the harem is not allowed to do politics. It can be avoided."

What a harem that is not allowed to interfere in politics, it is really an excellent excuse for being lazy, Li Xu took off the heavy crown and threw it aside, and took off the dragon robe and changed into the normal clothes he wears every day, "You can be lazy, but you can't do it in the usual morning court." I don’t need you, you don’t think it’s suitable for you to stand in any position, if you don’t go, don’t take it.”

Kou Xiao is still in charge of the Northwest Generalissimo. He was supposed to continue to train and defend in the Northwest, but he became a queen, so he handed over this task to other people. He will wait until he is really needed to go into battle.

Naturally, this status does not need to go to court, and it is necessary to give civil and military officials a buffer time to let them gradually get used to the fact that there is a male queen in this court.

Li Xu has not been idle since he woke up. He continued to review the memorials that he had not finished approving years ago, and there are several reforms to be announced this year. Each of them will cost countless manpower and financial resources, and he has to come up with a plan first.

This kind of thing should have been left to the team, but currently only Ji Hanyu in his team has a little understanding of his philosophy of governing the country, and the rest of the people's first reaction when they heard him talk about the new policy was: Your Majesty is too fantastic!

Therefore, in order to save time and improve everyone's acceptance, Li Xu had to write the plan in as much detail as possible every time, lest these ministers could not understand what he meant.

Kou Xiao slept late, got up and went to Li Xu with bird's nest porridge. Seeing that Li Xu's holidays were also buried by piles of memorials, he frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you want to decentralize power? Why is there still a backlog?" So many memorials?"

Li Xu had eaten breakfast, but mental work was quite energy-intensive. He ate the bird's nest porridge in small bites, "Didn't the whole country re-measure the land last year? A summary report was uploaded, so there are more memorials.”

"Then you have to read one by one?"

Li Xu shook his head, "Just pick a few copies to see. Unfortunately, the whole country is too big to unify the format. Otherwise, it will be much more intuitive to fill out the report according to my form."

"At the beginning in South Vietnam, the government did a good job at this point. It must be only a matter of time before the entire Great Yan is completed, so there is no need to rush."

Li Xu supervised the country for a while, and he was very troubled by the various memorials from various places. Originally, the handwritten words were not as clear as the printed ones. Some memorials were blurred due to the long journey. I should rectify the format and content of the memorial, so that I don't write up all the trivial things like cats and dogs, so that I can appear to be very literary.

But Li Xu is a scumbag, it is difficult to understand classical Chinese texts, and he will die if he writes a long speech, so he can't wait to set up a position of translator.

However, members of his secretarial team are also looking for candidates. When he supervised the country before, he relied on the ministers of the cabinet to help him solve his problems, but many times, it was not easy to disturb them when he was young, so Li Xu urgently needed to form his own secretary. Team, improve work efficiency.

Kou Xiao became impatient after reading the memorial for him. He still prefers to wield swords and guns, otherwise he would not have handed over the government affairs of South Vietnam to Lei Ming.

He stood up and said, "The emperor is busy, I'll go outside the palace and see for you whether the Spring Festival in the capital is lively or not."

Li Xu casually smashed a memorial over there, and scolded with a smile: "What does it have to do with you whether the capital is lively or not? You are a queen who lives in a deep palace, and managing the harem well is the top priority. Liu Shu will discuss it with you later. You have to check the list of layoffs carefully."

Kou Xiao said indifferently: "Such a simple harem, Manager Liu alone is enough to take care of it properly, so there is no need to overkill, right?"

Li Xu knew that what he said was right, but he couldn't see that he was busy but he was idle, so he assigned him another task: "Then you go and talk to the envoy of Wusun Kingdom about a deal for war horses, just say that we are willing to use new weapons Trade it with him and see if you can lower the price."

Kou Xiao's eyes lit up, they have no shortage of horses in Dayan, but they are short of horses, so this business can be negotiated.

"Don't worry, I will let them sell the horse to us at the lowest price, otherwise... Hehe, Wusun Kingdom is not very far away, and Dayan's iron cavalry can go around their house."

Kou Xiao walked away confidently, Li Xu shook his head and continued to work on his own affairs.

Kou Xiao rode away on horseback. Originally, private horse riding was not allowed in the palace, but now the entire palace has only three masters, and the territory is so large and desolate, so the rules have become the rules of their family of three. Naturally, they want to ride horses can ride.

Kou Xiao suddenly felt that apart from being a queen, he gained an extra title and moved from the palace to the palace, nothing else changed. Thinking about it this way, he was not so entangled.

But this kind of thinking persisted until the post house was dispelled. The envoys of all countries lived in the post house in the capital. The Xiongnu also sent envoys this time. When the post office saw Kou Xiao coming, he ran out to greet Kou Xiao and said loudly: " The Empress Empress is a thousand years old, and she is far away from her lowly position, and she hopes to forgive her sins."

In the palace, the servants are very winking, and never call Kou Xiao Queen, after all, this title is very girly, Kou Xiao looked at him with twitching corners of his mouth, and it is not easy to care about a little postman, so let's go Empress Ma asked him, "Is the envoy of Wusun Kingdom here?"

"Yes, my lords are having a drink with the envoys."

Kou Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it too early to start drinking and talking at this hour?"

"Hehe." Yicheng couldn't answer, so he could only smirk.

Kou Xiao didn't care about this issue when he came here, he strode in immediately, and before he went upstairs, he heard exaggerated laughter and the sound of playing and singing.

The guard downstairs was startled when he saw Kou Xiao coming, and ran up the stairs. Soon, the laughter upstairs stopped abruptly, but the playing and singing didn't stop.

Kou Xiao asked Guo Fu beside him, "Who is responsible for receiving the envoys?"

Guo Fu tried his best to recall, and it should be: "Grand Duke Qing is at the head, there are several Marquises, and Master Sun from Taipu Temple."

"These people can get together, the emperor is very innovative." Kou Xiao strode upstairs, the hall on the second floor was in chaos, and everyone was in a hurry to organize and describe.

"Yo, it's very lively, everyone in the early morning is interested
