spring as old

King Jin investigated the case for three months, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple dug up all the people involved in the case, large and small, to satisfy the emperor.All the ministers looked at the direction of the situation, and felt that within a year, there would be a change of position, and His Majesty, for the sake of safety, would not wantonly punish and kill. Concubine Che Chai Shu executed the whole family of Prince Jin, young and old, before it was over.

What the King of Jin committed was regicide, and no matter how severe the punishment was, except for a few censors, they thought the emperor was too cruel, and no one in the court thought it was inappropriate to persuade him to admonish him.

However, not long after the new king came to the throne, he became involved in a lot of troubles, which was not a good omen. When the new year came, the emperor brought all the officials to the Yuanqiu to offer sacrifices to heaven, praying for good weather and peace of the country and the people.

At Zhengdan, the emperor went to court, accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, issued an imperial edict, and changed Yuan Ganlu.

This year is the first year of Ganlu.

The Great Wei Dynasty was not very peaceful last year, Emperor Ai died, and the first female emperor since the beginning of the world appeared, turmoil in the court was inevitable.Fortunately, this turmoil was only limited to the capital, and did not spread to other places, so the state affairs were not in chaos.Human nature tends to be safe, and for the common people, it is enough to have clothes to protect against the cold and millet to feed their stomachs. They really don't care much about who the emperor sits on the throne.

In addition, Puyang is very diligent in government, and the way of the emperor is also lenient and strict. The ministers also have the legacy of the high emperor's dynasty, and they dare not neglect government affairs.After a year of turmoil, Dawei is still full of vitality.

It is always a difficult problem for Pu Yang to know the identity of his woman.During the time of Emperor Gao, the imperial court was editing books, and Puyang simply invited famous scholars from all over the world to Beijing to discuss classics and write rhetoric.

Puyang himself likes calligraphy and painting, and has a lot of experience with them. Occasionally, he would go to the Chongwen Museum to discuss with them, and there are often wonderful sentences that are deafening.

In this way, the public's discussion of women's power has gradually decreased, and when it comes to empresses, there are often rich articles, words of generosity and love for the people.

Puyang thus secured his throne, and handled government affairs more and more smoothly.

In the second year of Ganlu, Prime Minister Wang passed away, and Puyang came to express his condolences. He called Wang Gun back to Beijing and was promoted to the post of prime minister.

Wang Gun was not as good as his father, and his behavior was a little stiff, but he was not considered a mediocre minister, he just lacked experience.Seeing this, Puyang simply took the opportunity to consolidate the monarchy and improve his prestige.

In addition, the officials of Song Dynasty next door are still trying to persuade each other, and the people of Song Dynasty are still suffering, but the emperor is still cruel, and it seems to be getting worse.The emperor of Qi State is better, he is not so greedy for comfort, that is because the battle for the East Palace has not yet ended, King Yuzhang stands out, but the other princes are not reconciled, and King Yuzhang does not have the prestige of the former prince, so he can hold down the kings , For a while, they fought each other, making the inside and outside of the court hall full of smog.

It is really a good thing for the great Wei who has the ambition to annex the world that the king of other countries is not good.From this point of view, the country is stable and prosperous, while the neighboring countries are chaotic and trapped in internal friction.The situation is very good, and His Majesty seems to have nothing wrong with it.However, the fact is that the ministers have rarely seen His Majesty having a good time.

All the year round, she was always in the Xuande Palace, where she slept and ate. She did not enter the harem, unfortunately the garden, and devoted herself to government affairs all day long.

At first the ministers didn't notice anything, but after a long time, they also felt that it was not appropriate. Xuande Hall is indeed luxurious, but compared to an emperor, it is monotonous after all.Although His Majesty is a woman, it is not easy to accept concubines, but she can't be alone, without anyone to talk to.

What's more, the emperor's husband has been out of Beijing for a long time, but there is no news of his recovery.Your Majesty is indeed young, but it is better to decide the position of the East Palace as early as possible.The rebellion of King Jin back then was certainly caused by Emperor Ai's inability to defend the country, but how could it be the root of the disaster planted by Emperor Gao's failure to establish the East Palace early?Establishing a prince early can also stabilize the country.

The ministers gradually became anxious and discussed in private what to do.

Since His Majesty is a woman, they can't just write a book and ask the emperor to expand the inner court.Several important ministers discussed carefully, and then asked Mrs. Wang to enter the palace to advise.

Mrs. Wang is the emperor's grandmother, and His Majesty is used to being kind to the Wang family, so it is perfect for her to come forward.

Since Prime Minister Wang passed away, the old lady has become more and more reclusive, and she usually doesn't see outsiders.This time it was related to Puyang, she couldn't sit still, she prepared some speeches and came to the palace.

When she arrived, Puyang was reading the playbook, seeing the figure of the old lady, he got up and helped her.

The old lady was old and unable to move around, but she didn't appear to be in a daze, when she reached the hall, she resigned from Pu Yang's support, bowed to salute, and said: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Pu Yang helped her up with a smile, and asked with concern: "I haven't seen grandma for a long time, is grandma still safe?"

The old lady also took a closer look at Puyang, seeing that her face was peaceful, although her majesty was getting stronger, she was still human, and she was very relieved: "My wife is fine, but I don't see your majesty, I miss you."

Pu Yang helped her to sit down by the window at the side, smiled and said to her: "Grandmother has no trouble seeing me, just come to the palace."

In early winter, it was already freezing cold, and Puyang ordered the servants to serve ginger tea to warm up with the old lady.

"The legs and feet are useless. I wanted to see His Majesty, but when I moved, I felt very tired. As for today, I just entered the palace." The old lady said, looking at Zhou Hui without any trace.

The place where the emperor governs will not be too shabby.The hangings on the wall are historic sites, the tall ones are treasures, the screens are made of jade, and the small cups in the hands are made of ivory. There are still some red sandalwood fragrances on the tables in front of you, and the atmosphere is everywhere.

But no matter how atmospheric it is, it can't hide the coldness in it.

The old lady glanced over the threshold, and her heart froze.When the imperial husband was still in the capital, His Majesty made it easier for her to come and go, and ordered people to remove the threshold of the Xuande Hall. It has been more than two years, and the threshold is still empty now.

Puyang is asking about family matters, Qilang is about to marry a wife, and Jiuniang is about to return home.Although she didn't go to the palace very often in the past two years, she knew the affairs of her grandfather's house very well.

The old lady answered one by one, and then asked in a timely manner: "Liu Niang is four years younger than His Majesty, and she is already a mother for the second time. What is your Majesty's plan?"

Pu Yang was taken aback for a moment, only then did he understand why the old lady came here today.The smile immediately subsided: "The children's affairs are determined by God, let nature take its course."

The old lady realized that she didn't want to talk more, but the matter couldn't be shelved all the time, so she had to change the subject and tactfully persuaded: "It's not just about being an heir, it's always inappropriate for His Majesty to have no one to serve him."

Pu Yang smiled lightly and said, "The mourning period for Emperor Gao is not yet over, how dare I think about the matter of men and women."

This is just a lie, how can the old lady not hear it?The emperor is in mourning, and the day is changing with the moon, and the mourning period has already expired.Your Majesty just doesn't want to.

Once you become the son of heaven, many things are not your own business.Ministers always like to point fingers at the emperor's family affairs.The old lady was born in an aristocratic family, and married her husband and son-in-law who was an excellent official. She gave birth to a daughter as the queen, and her granddaughter became the emperor. Naturally, she has some knowledge.

She thought for a moment, then tentatively said softly: "Your Majesty is the husband of Emperor Gu Nian?"

Pu Yang's heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and the pain was sharp.For two years, few people have mentioned this person in her ears.She almost thought that Jingzhong had forgotten her.The traces left by her became weaker and weaker, and even Grand Master Wei kept talking about the emperor's husband after his position in the family was stabilized.

Pu Yang didn't deny it or admit it, he just said: "It's not easy for grandma to come here, why don't you leave after lunch?"

The emperor made it clear that he didn't want to talk more, but the old lady had no choice but to stop for now.

In the afternoon, as soon as the old lady left, the Xuande Hall fell silent again.

Pu Yang sits down behind the case again and looks at the original.Wang Gun was summoned to Beijing, but someone had to do the garrison.Puyang wanted to fight a war.After defeating the Qi and Song Dynasties and making the frontier difficult to move, Great Wei will never suffer from future troubles, and she also needs a marvelous feat to add luster to the prosperous age under her rule.

In this way, it is necessary to have an understanding of the talents of generals who can be used in the court.

It was late for Pu Yang after reading the playbook, she had dinner, and brought the resumes of the generals, looking through them.When it turned to Jiao Yong's share, I couldn't help feeling a pity.Jiao Yong was taught by General Zhong Zhong all his pockets, and he was full of military skills, and he used them superbly. On the battlefield, he was even more brave and invincible.From a small soldier to a Jinwu, he relied on his own accumulation of military merits.

It's a pity that such a great talent can't be used.

Pu Yang sighed, closed his resume and put it aside.There are two stacks of chapters stacked on the imperial case. On the left is the notebook sent today, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. She has read it one by one. On the right is the biographies of the generals, which are related to the expansion of the territory of the Great Wei. She has been studying it carefully since a few months ago. , During the day, I often pay attention to the inspection.

Everything seemed to be on track and there was nothing wrong with it.She is the emperor, and she can finally feel relieved.But to her, this gratification is just a thin layer, floating in her heart, and it can't get into her heart no matter what.

She is busy with state affairs and government affairs every day, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong, but she doesn't think there is anything good either.The throne, which she once regarded as obsession, now seems plain and flat. She is not satisfied at all in this palace city, in Xuande Hall, and on the throne. She just feels that her heart is as empty as this palace.

It was late at night, and the candlesticks in the temple could not dispel the darkness.The palace people seemed to be tired, standing silently in the corner.It has been like this for hundreds of days and nights, every day, Pu Yang thought that he should get used to it, but maybe it was the old lady who suddenly mentioned it, making the thoughts hidden in her heart grow wildly like ivy in spring.

She felt suddenly a palpitating loneliness.She put down her pen, stood up, and walked out. Qin Kun hurriedly followed, and put a thick and soft cloak on her body.

Pu Yang walked towards Hanguang Hall without saying a word.The palace people followed the large group with lights in the premise and followed behind, but it was still silent, like this dark night, without the slightest popularity.

The Hanguang Palace stood in the darkness, without any lights or figures.Pu Yang stopped in front of the door, she never dared to open that door, after Wei Xiu left, she dared not come here again.

The sky suddenly began to snow.Pu Yang raised his head, and the snowflakes fell gently on her body.

She suddenly felt a heart-rending pain. If Axiu was still in the palace, this silent night would not have been so long and difficult.

Weixiu is in Mangshan, and Puyang knows it.

Mang Mountain is in the suburbs of Beijing, not very far from the middle of Beijing. If you go there on the same day, you can go back on the same day.It is not difficult for Pu Yang to see her.

But how will they meet?What did you say when we met?

Pu Yang felt that it was better to miss it.She regards her as her beloved, and she insists on telling the world that the imperial husband has gone to Beijing to recuperate, and she insists on refusing to dissolve their name as husband and wife.She is willing to guard this vain status, and is willing to be alone, guarding the "lifetime" that Wei Xiu joked about.But she didn't dare to listen to Wei Xiu's sarcasm and sarcasm anymore.

When Wei Xiu said, "It's better to forget each other", she said with cruel revenge, "I have to marry you due to the situation, I still feel humiliated when I think about it. On the night of the wedding, the first emperor suddenly fell ill. If you don't want to touch you, you I don't know how lucky I am." Every time Pu Yang thought about coming, he felt extremely embarrassed.

She still missed her, still hoped that she would remember her goodness and come back to see her, but Puyang didn't dare to take the initiative to see her anymore, and she was also afraid that Axiu's hatred would still persist and would annoy her.

However, no matter how many worries there were, once they heard about Wei Xiu's sudden illness, all of them were dismissed.
