The prince is hard to serve

Time flies, fleeting, in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

At the end of the winter of this year, Emperor Yan stayed ill for three years, but he still couldn't get better. On the last day of December, he passed away.

Emperor Yan left a legacy, which passed on to the crown prince Yan Wenhao.

At that time, Yan Wenhao had been in charge of the country for three years. During the three years of in charge of the country, his achievements have been governed well, the world is in good order, the weather is smooth, and the people are happy to talk about it.

In the surrounding small countries, in the first year, he conquered the Xiongnu himself and expelled the Xiongnu for a hundred miles. After seeing his ruthless methods, he was also frightened by him. They will all send court gifts and never declare war.

Yan Wenhao's ability was seen by the civil and military officials, and they were all very satisfied. Even the right minister and several former court officials who had been skeptical of him have surrendered now.

Emperor Yan passed away, and after the three-day funeral, some courtiers reported that Yan Wenhao held the enthronement ceremony with the reason that "a country cannot live without a king", but although Yan Wenhao listened quietly, he did not agree. Seven days later, the national teacher Xue Wuhen entered the palace in person, and he finally agreed.

Although he agreed to enthronement, Yan Wenhao demanded that everything should be kept simple and not extravagant on the grounds that "during the national mourning period, it is not appropriate to labor the people and waste money". He had to reluctantly agree, and for a while, Yan Wenhao was extremely filial, and the reputation of being lenient and benevolent spread throughout Dayan.

Although everything in the enthronement ceremony was simple, there were none of the necessary etiquette. Three days later, before dawn, Yan Wenhao got up, and Fuquan dressed him in the dragon robe and the triple crown, and led the All civil and military officials went to the Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors, to the country and the common people.

After the cumbersome etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven, Yan Wenhao returned to the palace under the escort of the imperial guards.

From the Gate of Supreme Harmony to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the road is neither long nor short. Although Yan Wenhao walked very slowly, it only took the time for a cup of tea, but he knew that for this day, He has gone too many years.

To each other, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, civil and military officials were already waiting, and Mu Ziling was also among them, dressed in a python robe.

Three years ago, after Yan Wenhao was in charge of the country, he fulfilled his original promise and gave Mu Ziling the opportunity to enter the court as a scholar. He knew that Mu Ziling had once devoted himself to being an official and wanted to benefit the people of the world, so , He pushed the public opinion and overcame all difficulties, and appointed him as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Mu Ziling cherished this hard-won opportunity very much, immersed himself in it, and got rid of all noises. In just two years, he really proved himself with his ability. Now he has been promoted to Minister of Criminal Affairs, and Jiang Xi has replaced him. Mu Jiyan's position became Prime Minister Zuo.

As for Mu Jiyan, when Jiang Xi came back, the Sansihui examined the person behind the scenes and released him. After he was released from prison, he heard about Xu Ziqi, and listened to Xu Ziqi's voice questioning, watching her burst into tears , and finally saw Xu Ziqi committing suicide in front of his own eyes. After 20 years of companionship, even the coldest heart would feel sad, so after thinking twice, he handed over the old age note, and now he is in the mansion with his friends Talking about poetry and painting is also very satisfying.

Step by step, walking to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Yan Wenhao with a serious face, slowly stepped on the Panlongyu step, climbed to the high place, the Minister of Rites held the late emperor's edict in his hand, and read the edict aloud, the national teacher Xue Wuhen took it The jade seal handed over by Xiaoyao Wang Yan Wenjin was handed over to Yan Wenhao.

The moment Yan Wenhao reached out to take the jade seal, all the officials knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

This loud shout was so deafening that it went straight into the sky and resounded through the sky!

Hearing the shouts of long live from all the people in the hall, Yan Wenhao lowered his head and saw Mu Ziling kneeling among them at a glance, then he naturally raised the corners of his lips and smiled at Mu Ziling.

Mu Ziling seemed to feel something, so he raised his head. He looked at Yan Wenhao who was looking at him with a smile and affection, and laughed quietly.

After Yan Wenhao came to the throne, he appointed Mu Ziling as queen.

Regarding this, the ministers objected very much. Even though Mu Ziling was magnificent and capable, he was still a man. Since ancient times, there has never been a man who was the master of the harem. Therefore, many officials directly proposed In order to oppose it, even at the early court, they loudly reprimanded Yan Wenhao for disregarding etiquette and ignoring the ancestral precepts, but most of the ministers chose another milder way——

They kept playing and mentioned that now that the harem is empty and Yan Wenhao has no children, it's time to select some beautiful women to enter the palace and spread their branches and leaves.

They thought that once there were more women in the palace, Yan Wenhao would not only look at Mu Ziling, but would rediscover the goodness of women, and maybe find a woman who was in love with him. will be replaced.

But what they didn't know was that Fuquan would pick out all the papers they handed over to ask for a concubine, and then hand them over to Xie Jingyu. Xie Jingyu took it, looked at it, and then burned it directly. I don't care, and I don't bother to read a copy.

At night, after the passion had passed, Yan Wenhao looked at Mu Ziling who had fallen asleep in his arms, and recalled what happened this morning, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and his heart ached.

He promised that he would not let Mu Ziling suffer any more grievances.

He needs to solve these troubles at once. His queen will only be Mu Ziling, and his harem will only have Mu Ziling.

Pursing his lower lip, Yan Wenhao knew that it was time to fulfill the promise he made to Mu Ziling before leaving Beijing for Jiangnan.

After thinking about what to do, Yan Wenhao lowered his head and kissed the lips of the young man in his arms, smiled softly, then hugged his hand tightly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

After the morning court on the second day, Yan Wenhao summoned Xue Wuhen.

When Xue Wuhen arrived, Xie Jingyu was also there. He was squatting helplessly beside the brazier, throwing memorials into it one by one. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and greeted Xue Wuhen , and then bowed his head again, burning the memorial.

Although Xue Wuhen is only handsome, but perhaps because he is a national teacher, he already has aura, so he exudes a unique aura around him, making people unwilling to look away when they see him. Wearing a clean white robe, he walked in slowly, and many palace servants couldn't help but look at him.

Putting down the cinnabar pen in his hand, Yan Wenhao waved his hand, indicating that all the other palace servants in the hall should go down, leaving only Fuquan, then pointed to the chairs on both sides, and said to Xue Wuhen: "Sit down. .”

Xue Wuhen saluted Yan Wenhao, responded with an 'um', and sat down directly.

Fuquan served him tea, and soon, Xie Jingyu also finished burning the memorial, clapped his hands, walked over and sat down.

After tilting her head to Xie Jingyu and nodding, Xue Wuhen took a sip of tea, and then asked bluntly: "Your Majesty is looking for me, but for the matter of setting up a concubine that was played by the ministers?"

"Yes." Yan Wenhao said: "I hope that the national teacher can do me another favor."

Staring at Yan Wenhao quietly with cold eyes, Xue Wuhen pondered for a while, and asked you: "Your Majesty really only wants the queen alone? You won't regret it?" He has already guessed what happened.

Yan Wenhao nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, I only need him alone."

Hearing this answer, Xue Wuhen was not surprised, a little smile appeared in his eyes, he nodded and said: "It's very good to be a couple for a lifetime."

Xue Wuhen said again: "Your Majesty, please tell me, how can I help you?"

Xie Jingyu was also very curious, and pricked up his ears to listen to Yan Wenhao's words.

Yan Wenhao smiled slightly, and said a set of arguments that he had prepared. Last night, after serious thinking, he revised his original idea. I agree with Mu Ziling in my heart.

Xue Wuhen's identity reminded Yan Wenhao that people always have special respect for things like ghosts and gods, and if these words are spoken by the national teacher, the persuasion will be even stronger.

After hearing Yan Wenhao's words, both Xue Wuhen and Xie Jingyu couldn't help being surprised. After all, this idea was a bit bold, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was the best way.

After thinking for a while, Xue Wuhen nodded and agreed to Yan Wenhao.

Yan Wenhao smiled in satisfaction, and said, "So, I will leave this matter to you."

******

Xie Jingyu and Xue Wuhen moved quickly. Three days later, a rumor suddenly spread in the capital.

Investigating its source, it was actually spread from the Qitian Pagoda.

It turned out that one month ago, the national teacher Xue Wuhen did a fortune-telling calculation, and calculated that the current queen Mu Ziling, although a man, was born to be with Yan Wenhao. Wen Hao prevents all disasters. If Yan Wenhao loses his protection, he will be seriously ill, and there is no cure for it. But if he has him, respect him and love him, and hold hands with him, he will live a lifetime without illness. Worry-free, until a long life of a hundred years, Dayan will also be peaceful and happy, and the weather will be smooth.

The common people are relatively blind, and believe in ghosts and gods the most. What's more, Yan Wenhao was really seriously ill at first, to the point where there was no cure for medicine and stones, but after marrying Mu Ziling, he really recovered. The news of the Prayer Pagoda, and the fact that their lives have been getting better and better in the past few years, they believe in this more and more, thinking that Mu Ziling is a fairy descended from the world, and they respect him extremely.

After hearing these remarks, the officials of the DPRK and China did not fully believe them, but with doubts in their hearts, they sent several representatives and asked them to go to the Qitian Pagoda.

Fifteen days later, the Prayer Tower was opened, and those officials returned one after another. They told everyone what they had seen and heard these days, and they also made it clear that the news that came out earlier was indeed true. It was calculated, and the reason why it would flow out of the market was that a servant boy in the Qitian Tower accidentally slipped his mouth when he went home to visit relatives, and now he has been punished.

It was said that even though the civil and military officials still had doubts, they did not dare to gamble with the emperor's life, and those who were the most joyful speech officials also silenced and did not dare to criticize loudly.

However, there are still a lot of papers for those who request to fill the harem and establish a concubine. Some ministers still have some luck in their hearts, and they want their daughters to enter the palace. Although they cannot be queens, they may one day enter Yan. In Wen Hao's eyes, he was favored and gave birth to a prince?

It's just that the wishful thinking in their hearts was clanging, but before they could talk to their daughter about it, Yan Wenhao went to the Taimiao in person, in front of the ancestors, saying, "May Dayan prosper." Prosperity, stability and peace of the people' is the reason, to tell everyone in the world that in his life, there will only be a queen, Mu Ziling, respect him, love him and protect him, and there will be no other people in the harem.

As soon as the news came out, all the ministers were shocked. Hundreds of officials petitioned Yan Wenhao to withdraw his order. After all, he has no heirs, and he must leave an heir to inherit the throne. Admonished by the dead, Yan Wenhao always seemed to have made up his mind, and even after offering sacrifices to heaven, he immediately made the Ninth Prince Yan Wensi the crown prince to show his determination.

Under such circumstances, the group of officials finally gradually subsided, and Yan Wenhao's reputation of generosity and love for the people once again spread to every part of the land of Dayan, and the people loved him more and more, and scholars and scholars could become Yan Wenhao His subjects are proud.

So far, no one has mentioned the matter of concubine Li abolishing the empress.

When this matter was settled, it was already the beginning of spring.

After taking off his thick winter clothes, Yan Wenhao took Mu Ziling's hand and came to the city wall with rare free time this day.

The two stood side by side, staring ahead, and holding each other's hands tightly, feeling each other's warmth.

Raising his other hand, Yan Wenhao pointed to the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the distance, and said to Mu Ziling with a smile, "Mom and, I would like to share this beautiful river and mountain with you. Are you willing to stay with me for the rest of your life?"

Hearing this, Mu Ziling turned to look at him, and replied with a smile: "In this life, I am willing to be with you, hand in hand, and never leave."

Even if the sea is dry and rocks are rotten, the sky is falling apart, as long as you are still there, no matter where you are, I will be with you forever, forever.
