In April, the little emperor passed away due to illness. Someone claimed to have dug up a stone tablet, on which it was written that the son of King Jing was destined by fate. Therefore, Gao Qiang appointed the three-year-old son of King Jing as the new emperor, and continued to listen to the government behind the curtain and control the government.

In May, Li Jingruo forced Zhao Kang back to Hedong Town, Zhao Kang surrendered, drowned himself in the well and died.

In September, Du Feng, who rebelled after the original Huainan army, broke through the capital, beheaded Gao Qiang, Gao Yuanzhao and others in the street, and hung their heads on the city gate for seven days.The young Xindi was placed under house arrest.

In December, Li Jingruo regained Shannan Road and signed a treaty with the foreign tribes in the north.

In March of the following year, Li Jingruo pacified the war in Huainan Road.

In the past two years, Li Jingruo has made a name for himself from the beginning to the great glory, but he has never proclaimed himself emperor. Gao Zhanming once asked him why, but Li Jingruo just shook his head and smiled: "The name is not right, the words are not right."

With victories after battles, most of the world is under their control, and all the generals under him are also in high spirits, wanting to push Li Jingruo to the top position, even Gao Zhanming saw Li Jingruo sitting in a dragon robe in his dream. Looking down on the common people from above the main hall, but Li Jingruo still said the same thing - the name is not right, the words are not right.

At that time Liu Shijia was already a general under Li Jingruo, he was very puzzled by this, so he asked Gao Zhanming, could it be that Li Jingruo really had no ambition to be emperor?

Gao Zhanming already understood Li Jingruo's thoughts, and said: "The young emperor was put under house arrest by Du Feng, and Du Feng coerced the emperor to order the princes. If we can rescue the young emperor, we will naturally respect him. After all, he is the emperor who has sacrificed to heaven and ascended the throne. .”

Liu Shijia was puzzled: "But the young emperor is only four years old."

Gao Zhanming smiled: "So what?"

Liu Shijia laughed: "I say something that doesn't please you, the Du Feng rebellious ministers and traitors kidnapped the young emperor to control the princes, and we assist the young emperor, in the eyes of those who are not convinced, General Li is no different from holding the emperor Separate. The young emperor is young, so he can’t decide what to do.”

"Do you know why the Gao family, the Zhao family and other relatives in previous dynasties did not simply conspire to usurp the throne, but sent their daughters to the palace wholeheartedly in order to obtain half of the world? Do you know why Du Feng coerced the emperor to make the princes, instead of abolishing the emperor to stand on his own? "

Without even thinking about it, Liu Shijia said, "They are the ones whose names are wrong and their words are wrong."

"Do princes and generals care about each other?"

"...No." Liu Shijia said hesitantly, "However, if we want long-term peace in this world, we still have to have it. So they dare not, for fear of becoming the target of public criticism, but General Li is also a child of the royal family."

Those who have ascended to the pinnacle of power, as far away as Cao Cao Sima Yi, as close as Gao Yuanzhao and Du Feng, they once had power in the government and the public. Although they did not have the name of imperial power, they had the reality of imperial power. However, few of these people abolished the emperor and stood on their own .They are not without wolf ambitions.It can be said that Gao Qiang and Gao Yuanzhao have tried their best to pass on the wealth and honor from generation to generation, but why didn't they proclaim themselves emperors?It's because although princes, generals and ministers don't have kindness, they do have kindness in the hearts of the people in the world.Once they break this rule, they will attract the wind.Since your Gao family can be called king and emperor, why can't my Liu family?Why can't the Song family?There are many people with strong soldiers and strong horses and ambitious people in this world, but they dare not act rashly.If you keep the kind of emperor, you will also keep your reputation, no one will dare to act rashly, and everyone will be able to seek their own wealth, that's all.

However, Li Jingruo's situation is different from them.Li Jingruo was originally a child of the royal family, so the son of King Jing may not have a better name than him in terms of status. It was just that Gao Qiang set his sights on the youngest son who couldn't even speak well in order to find a puppet emperor who could be controlled easily. .Even if Li Jingruo proclaims himself emperor, he has fewer scruples than others.

Gao Zhanming said: "Even so, there cannot be two emperors in this world. If Jing Ruo becomes emperor at this time, that little emperor and everyone in that court will become traitors."

Liu Shijia had never thought about this level, so he couldn't help being stunned.Many people in the capital couldn't help themselves, even the emperor himself. If Li Jingruo proclaimed himself emperor, the little emperor would not be able to tolerate it legally.Every new emperor.Both the old emperor and the old court must be eradicated. This is an act of peace of mind, not the wish of the emperor alone.It turned out that if Li Jing didn't want to create too many murders...

Liu Shijia suddenly felt very ashamed.Li Jingruo was exactly the kind of person who was decisive in killing but also kind in heart, that's why they gathered by his side willingly.But he still has some doubts: "But in the future, is it possible that we brothers will assist the little emperor who hasn't learned how to say that in the future?"

Gao Zhanming smiled inscrutablely: "For the peace of the world, and for peace of mind as soon as possible, he once said that he would never usurp the throne."

Liu Shijia was still puzzled, thinking that Li Jingruo was a little bit unconvinced because he was devoted to the little emperor, but after careful consideration of Gao Zhanming's words, he suddenly realized, and left contentedly.

In July of the following year, Li Jingruo led an army into the capital, and his generals killed Du Feng and rescued the little emperor who was under house arrest.

At this point, the two-year turmoil has finally stopped temporarily, and the world is waiting for prosperity.

Returning to the capital again after two years away, the capital has long since changed. The bustling streets and alleys in the past have become deserted, and many wealthy mansions have been looted or demolished by the rebels.

After dealing with the matter in hand, Gao Zhanming went back to Gao's old house.When he left the capital, he took all his cronies with him, and later brought out some relatives one after another.His mother, Tang Xue, was brought out by Du Feng before he led people to break through the capital. Poor Tang Xue was stimulated and fell ill, and died on the way to escape.

His house is opposite to the Duke of Anguo's mansion. Gao Zhanming still remembers that compared with the magnificence of Duke Anguo's mansion back then, his house was much simpler and simpler. Although the place was big enough, no one cleaned it, and there were moss and weeds. Overgrown, very sad.But now when he comes back, he feels that his house was originally very gorgeous. It is only because there have been almost no major changes in the past two years, and the Anguo Gong Mansion on the opposite door has almost fallen from the sky to the ground. The true face.I heard that Du Feng hated the Gao family very much, so after his army entered the capital, the first thing he robbed was not the imperial palace, but the Duke of Anguo's mansion. After taking away the gold, silver and jewelry, he even set a fire. It took two days and two nights of burning to completely burn down Anguo Gong's mansion.Now the high-door compound that once stood shoulder to shoulder with the palace has turned into a piece of scorched earth, Gao Zhanming couldn't help but sigh.

"What happened to the children of the Gao family?" He couldn't help asking.

The person who had been staying in the capital as an internal response hurriedly said: "When the capital was broken, even the Queen Mother—I mean Gao Qiang and Gao Yuanzhao were dragged to the street by Du Feng and beheaded. What benefits could the rest of the children gain?" , most of them were sacrificed to the military flag by the rebels. There are only a few who are not quite the same. Gao Huachong, the second son of Gao Yuanzhao, is rare and bloody. A bloody road, almost rushed out of the city, but unfortunately in the end because there were too many rebels, he was cut off by those rebels. That time I hid near the city gate and watched with my own eyes. He didn't seem to be afraid of anything, he was completely unconscious after being hacked and stabbed again and again, like a Rakshasa. At the end when he fell off the horse and was pointed at the heart sword with a sword, he actually laughed... also I don't know what he's laughing at, alas, it's a pity, I thought the Gao family's children were all incompetent people..." The man suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly apologized in panic, "I'm not talking about you, my lord, I..."

"It's okay." Gao Zhanming waved his hand, "Go on."

"In short...it's a pity for him. There is another Gao Tianwen. I heard that he defected to Yue Jun. When Yue Jun surrendered to our army, he should have followed. It is a great fortune among misfortunes to save the life of the person."

Gao Zhanming returned to the old house and sat silently with a cup of tea until it was nearly dusk before he brought people into the palace.

When they first returned to the capital, they naturally had to be busy with many government affairs.Because Li Jingruo had not usurped the throne, he was still a loyal minister of the little emperor in name.He rescued the little emperor who was under house arrest from the deep palace, and the important officials of the court were liquidated one by one. All the officials appointed by Du Feng, or those who had the intention of treason, were dismissed or convicted, and the rest were left by Du Feng to maintain the court. The old ministers who are incapable of functioning and involuntary all ignore the past, and will still hold their old positions for the time being, and will be transferred later.

Gao Zhanming, Su Yu and others wholeheartedly assisted him in handling political affairs. In just two months, order was restored to the extremely chaotic capital.

After Gao Zhanming dealt with government affairs, he was busy until late at night before going back to his room to rest. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a candle burning in the dim room, and he could vaguely find the figure of the person sitting by the bed.

Li Jingruo's long hair had fallen down, and he was wearing a white obscene dress, which was completely different from his decisive, wise and courageous appearance in the daytime.He opened his arms to Gao Zhanming, and said with a smile as if inviting pets: "Madam, you have worked hard."

Gao Zhanming's heart warmed - only he could see Li Jingruo's appearance.

He walked up to Li Jingruo and sat down. Li Jingruo pulled him into his arms and sniffed his scent greedily.

Gao Zhanming said: "The ceremony is all ready."

Li Jingruo snorted.

Li Jingruo once said that as long as the little emperor is still around, he will never usurp power.In addition to not wanting to kill, it is also the reason for stabilizing people's hearts.Although the world has been fighting for years, there are still many Li's children who were crowned kings and borders back then. Once he becomes emperor, those people will be able to stand on their own as kings to compete with him.However, letting a four-year-old child rule the world will still cause endless troubles, so he always wants to be the emperor, just to be justifiable—Gao Zhanming and others have already counted the auspicious days of the zodiac. As soon as he arrives, the little emperor will cede the throne to Li Jingruo—in this way, the name is right and the word is right, and it can also extinguish the ambitions of those who are just about to move.

Li Jingruo said: "I have already made up my mind. After a few years, the world will be completely stable, and I will make you my queen..."

Gao Zhanming slapped his hand away: "Fuck you, I don't want to be a male queen."

Li Jingruo chuckled twice, and buried his face in his neck: "Whatever you say is what you say. When my younger brother's son grows up, I will make him the crown prince."

The moonlight is very good tonight, and the silver light shines in through the paper bed, illuminating the bed curtain in a silvery white.

Gao Zhanming turned his body slightly, staring at Li Jingruo's side face seriously.Since his rebirth, it is only true in front of this person, they are connected, they are in love, and they will stay together.

Gao Zhanming said softly: "I am finally honored to see you rule the world."

Li Jingruo smiled and pressed a kiss on his forehead: "The day I rule the world, you will become the most powerful minister in the world."

"Jun Liang."

"I'm here."

"Stay by my side forever."

"it is good."
