[Comprehensive] Wearing the martial arts world to be the emperor

Yan Jingbai didn't leave Guanwen Hall until the evening, he didn't go back to his bedroom, but went to Empress Xiao's, and Princess Nanyang happened to be there too.

Yan Jingbai waved his hands to make everyone stand up, and then said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I came here, so it turns out that Ah Ruan is also here."

Princess Nanyang is gentle and virtuous, with a noble air in her gestures and gestures. She looks very similar to Empress Xiao, both of whom are beautiful and dignified.

At this moment, she heard the words and said with a smile: "I heard that my mother suffered from another headache, and my daughter was a little worried, so I came to see it."

"Oh?" Yan Jingbai seemed startled, he quickly looked at Empress Xiao and said, "Empress is not feeling well?"

Empress Xiao said softly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to A Ruan's nonsense, it's just some old problem, it doesn't hurt anymore, don't worry."

Yan Jingbai sighed, pulled her to sit down on the couch, and then said: "You and I are both elderly people, you must take care of your health, I still count on the Queen to accompany me for a few more years!"

Empress Xiao's well-maintained skin was slightly rosy, she cast a reproachful glance at Nanyang who was covering her lips and smiling, then lowered her eyes and replied: "I understand."

It's getting late, almost dusk.

Yan Jingbai left Princess Nanyang to eat dinner before letting her leave. The dinner table for the three of them seemed to be a harmonious family.

When Princess Nanyang came out of the palace, the sun had faded, and the sky had already shown a large swath of dark blue. A young man in a luxurious brocade suit led a horse and stood against the wind.

The appearance of the young man seemed a bit unexpected, and Princess Nanyang asked in surprise, "Why is my son here?"

The boy smiled and said: "It's getting dark, Daddy is worried, let me pick up Mom."

Hearing this, her tightly curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and the first thing that appeared in her autumn-like eyes was definitely not touch and joy, but an extremely complicated emotion, but it was only a moment, and she quickly stood there. The boy in front of him didn't find anything unusual.

She raised her hand to touch the boy's temples, and praised: "My son is filial, and my mother is very happy."

Then, with the support of the young man, he got into the carriage.

The wheels rolled, and the carts and horses quickly disappeared into the darkness.

in the Queen's Palace.

Yan Jingbai talked with Empress Xiao for a while, then wanted to get up and leave.

He exhorted: "My birthday is approaching, and all matters in the harem must be troubled by the Queen, thank you! The Queen must pay attention to her health, and if necessary, leave all chores to the people below. Don't do everything yourself! "

"Yes!" Empress Xiao bowed her knees and saluted, then opened her mouth with a hesitant look on her face.

Yan Jingbai raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Is there anything else the queen can do?"

Empress Xiao hesitated for a while, and finally said: "This time your majesty is celebrating his birthday, beauties from all over the world will probably send you a lot of gifts. The courtiers and concubines are the masters, how many can you see for your majesty?"

Yan Jingbai was stunned, he never expected that Empress Xiao would say such words.

Is this the wife who is taking the initiative to help him find a beauty?

He was a little dumbfounded for a while.

But seeing the other party's worried eyes, he seemed to realize something.

In these years, he has never entered the harem, let alone favored any woman. Even the queen, he only talks to her every time he comes here, or has a meal with her, and never stays overnight.

Could it be that she suspected that the women in the harem could no longer attract him, or was she worried about what happened to his body?

Yan Jingbai bets that it will probably be the latter!

He sighed, waved everyone back, and then said to her: "The Queen's kindness is appreciated, but I don't intend to pamper women anymore."

"Ah!" Empress Xiao exclaimed, the worry on her brows became more intense.

Yan Jingbai bent his lips, and then said again, "Because I don't want to have any more children!"

Empress Xiao was extremely surprised.

Yan Jingbai pulled her to sit down and asked, "What does the Empress think of Yang Tong's child?"

"Smart and shrewd, modest and courteous, quite like a father!" When she said this, she seemed to think of the eldest son who made her proud but died young, and her eyes turned slightly red.

Yan Jingbai patted her on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "What if I pass the throne to him after a hundred years?"

Empress Xiao frowned, although she was a little annoyed that his words were unlucky, she still replied: "I thought His Majesty had already made a decision when he made him the grandson of the emperor."

"The decision has indeed been made." Yan Jingbai said lightly: "I only have those sons. The prince has a generous temperament and a benevolent gentleman. It is a pity that he died young. Qi Wang Yang Hao I don't want to talk about him. As for Xiao Jizi, he is too young. He is also frail and sickly, so whether he can support him or not is another matter. Among the grandchildren, only Dong'er is the most outstanding. When I appointed him as the grandson of the emperor, no one objected, but I used strong methods to suppress him. Despite those objections, but what if I have another child?!"

He sneered, and continued: "At that time, the heart that has been calm will float again. Those concubines in the harem and ministers in the court will not be willing to be lonely!"

Empress Xiao is not a stupid woman, she understood it almost immediately, but she still frowned and said: "But, with His Majesty here, so what if those people are restless!"

"I can indeed suppress those who are ready to move, so that they don't dare to act rashly, but I have too many things to do, and I don't want to waste time and energy on meaningless things!"

On the ninth day of October in the 13th year of Daye, the emperor's [-]th birthday, Yan Jingbai hosted a banquet for civil and military officials and envoys from various countries in Daxing Palace.

The rare and rare treasures presented by teams, the people of foreign races gathered in the hall, and the respectful expressions on their faces all showed the strength of the Sui Dynasty at this moment.

Yan Jingbai wears a twelve-pronged crown on his head and a bright yellow court dress with wide sleeves.

He is aloof, accepting the worship of countless people, and suddenly a kind of epiphany arises in his heart.

A strong country is a strong monarch, and a strong monarch is a strong country!

The king and the country are one, perhaps he can do a little more.

This birthday is not just about receiving presents, but letting others come and see the excitement, it is even more a deterrent!

I believe that after this birthday, the envoys of various countries will bring back everything they saw—the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, the strength of the Sui Dynasty, the majesty of the emperor, etc. As for the portion, even if you have any small thoughts, you must first weigh how much you have.

This grand banquet was held for three full days, until the end day, Yan Jingbai looked at the rising sun and secretly sneered, some things had just begun.

After the banquet, the emperor put down his words and said that he wanted to entertain all civil and military officials, and then hold a "family banquet"!

In the posthouse, Li Yuan tugged at his beard with a sad expression on his face.

Li Shimin, handsome in white clothes, stood in front of him and sincerely persuaded him: "Father, there is no such thing as a good banquet. Yang Guang's 'family banquet' this time is definitely tricky, so we can't go there! It's better for us to go back to Taiyuan first."

Hearing this, before Li Yuan had any reaction, the third young master Li Yuanji interjected, "What is a banquet without a good feast? It's just a banquet. When did you become so timid, second brother?!"

"Yuanji, shut up! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Li Shimin said displeased.

"Why don't I understand?!" Li Yuanji jumped up all of a sudden, and said, "We came here to celebrate Yang Guang's birthday, and now we are packing up and going back to Taiyuan in the middle of the birthday, what will happen if the emperor finds out?! You This is sending my Li family to the guillotine!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "Don't mess around! If we don't go back now, we may die soon!"

Li Yuanji sneered, but Li Yuan was frightened all of a sudden, he raised his hand to stop Li Yuanji from retorting, and asked, "What does Shimin mean by this?"

Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said, "At the beginning, I robbed the Dongming faction's ledger together with Haisha Gang and Jukun Gang, but the final ledger fell into the hands of two unknown boys."

Li Yuanji sneered: "Second brother's ability is really great, I admire it!"

"Yuanji!" Li Yuan stared at him displeased, Li Yuanji touched his nose and closed his mouth.

Li Shimin glanced at him coldly, and then said: "The matter of the account book is very important. I searched for a long time but could not find out the identities of the two boys, until Xiuning came back from the palace that day and told me about Yang Guang. I suddenly had an extremely terrifying guess about the two adopted sons I adopted four years ago."

"You, you mean...you mean..." Li Yuan's voice trembled, and his face was shocked.

Even Li Yuanji, who had an ugly face just now, had pale lips.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Those two nameless boys are probably Yang Guang's adoptive sons, that is to say, eight out of ten of the ledgers have already fallen into Yang Guang's hands."

He glanced at the two earth-colored people, and said with a wry smile: "The three of us fought back and forth, but we didn't expect to end up in the hands of the least likely person."

Li Yuan still didn't believe it, and maybe he was dying. He said, "Is it possible that your, your guess is wrong? It's impossible for things in the world to be so coincidental..."

Li Shimin said: "Whether my guess is true or not, father should be fully prepared, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Yuan nodded again and again, and said anxiously: "I'm afraid of what happens! I'm afraid of what happens!"

Li Yuanji said eagerly: "But we're leaving, what about Yang Guang? Tomorrow is the time for the banquet, so even if we escape now, we won't be able to escape very far! Once we are caught, we will die even if we are innocent."

Li Shimin pondered: "Therefore, one person must come to the banquet on time tomorrow, and the other person must run away secretly with his father."

"I will escort father away!" Li Yuanji roared anxiously.

Seeing the sharp gaze shot over by the other party in an instant, he felt a little guilty, but immediately puffed up his chest, pouted his neck and said, "There may be many dangers along the way, and I will protect him by my father's side."

Li Shimin laughed back in anger, but when he caught sight of Li Yuan who kept his mouth shut out of the corner of his eye, his heart was cold for a moment!

He closed his eyes and said, "Okay! You send father away, and I will go to the palace for a banquet!"

Li Yuanji was overjoyed.

"Second brother, I'll stay with you too!"

A delicate female voice came from the door.

Li Yuan was displeased, "Xiu Ning, what are you messing around with!"

"My daughter is not messing around." Although Li Xiuning's voice was soft, her tone was firm, "I don't worry about my second brother being alone, I will stay and help him."

Although Li Shimin was moved, he still stroked her hair and said, "Xiu Ning, let's go with my father, the second brother can do it alone, you just need to wait for me obediently in Taiyuan."

Li Xiuning didn't speak, but her expression represented everything.

Li Yuan sighed and said: "It's up to you!" Then he shook his sleeves and left.

Li Yuanji glanced at the two of them, and immediately followed.

Li Shimin flicked her head and said helplessly, "You!"

Li Xiuning stuck out her tongue and smiled, and said: "Second brother, don't be angry, let me stay and maybe I can help you."

"It's just a weak woman, how can I help you." Li Shimin said angrily.

"Don't underestimate women!" Li Xiuning blinked and smiled, "Yang Guang's adopted son, Kou Zhong, has been looking for me for the past few days, and I can tell that he has a crush on me."

"Beauty trick?" Li Shimin frowned, "You are playing with fire!"

"Second brother, don't worry. Although that man is a little angry, his eyes are very upright, and he won't treat me like this."

Li Shimin stroked her hair, sighed, "Xiu Ning, I have wronged you."

Li Xiuning raised her chin, and said firmly, "No wrong, everything is for the success of the Li Clan!"
