Ning Chen Ling Xiao

Before Chu Yifeng passed out, he vaguely heard the queen's words, but he didn't feel it anymore.

"Feng'er...can you drink more?"

"Feng'er..."

Chu Yifeng opened his eyes, Ling Xiao was right in front of him, Chu Yifeng lost his mind for a while, and then turned his head to see the queen sitting on the imperial concubine couch beside him, and when he woke up and stood up, he sighed and said in a low voice: "I'm still waiting for you." I'm going to the front to see how the funeral preparations are going, you guys... you should stay here first." Said and went.

Ling Xiao got up and sent the queen out, and came back after a while, ordered the servants in the palace to step down, brought a bowl of rice porridge by himself, sat on the couch, stirred it a little, and said softly: "I just fed you a few sips of tea, Have some porridge?"

"Hmm." Chu Yifeng was supported by Ling Xiao to sit up and leaned against him, and whispered, "The queen mother...didn't say anything?"

"My aunt told me a lot just now...it's all right." Ling Xiao fed Chu Yifeng a few mouthfuls of porridge, and Chu Yifeng swallowed it in small mouthfuls, feeling a lot better in his stomach. His physique was good, but he couldn't hold it for two days He didn't even drink water, and he was rushing to such a big event, so he was exhausted after all.

Ling Xiao fed Chu Yifeng one mouthful, and Chu Yifeng looked at Ling Xiao's hands shaking slightly, and said in a low voice, "What, what's the matter?" Chu Yifeng leaned against Ling Xiao's arms and turned his back to him, and couldn't see Ling Xiao's face. It's just that as soon as the words fell, Chu Yifeng felt a heat on his neck, and Chu Yifeng raised his head suddenly: "Ling Xiao..."

Ling Xiao put the porridge bowl on the small table beside him, and hugged Chu Yifeng so that he wouldn't look back at him, but buried his face on Chu Yifeng's shoulder. Chu Yifeng could clearly feel the wetness of the thin clothes and Ling Xiao's throat. Almost inaudible sobs.

Chu Yifeng's eyes turned red instantly, this was the first time he saw Ling Xiao cry.No matter how difficult it was before, Ling Xiao never cried like this.

Chu Yifeng returned his hand and gently stroked Ling Xiao's face, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's fine if you're fine, don't be like this...I feel uncomfortable."

After a while, Ling Xiao raised his face, took the porridge bowl and continued to feed Chu Yifeng, and said in a low voice: "You haven't eaten for two days, so let's eat some rice porridge today, and I'll cook something delicious for you when your stomach is better. "

"En." Chu Yifeng ate the porridge honestly, turned around and put his arms around Ling Xiao, and said softly, "That's great..."

Ling Xiao hummed, lowered his head and kissed Chu Yifeng's forehead, and whispered with his arms around him.

"Just follow this. There is still a need to rush over the imperial mausoleum. Things are urgent, and many things are rushed like this..." The queen handed the submitted book to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and urged, "Everything is still the same." Discuss with the people from the Ministry of Rites, although it is a bit rushed, but don't make a joke out of it."

"Yes." Xu Quan bowed his head and said, "One more thing...the day before yesterday I heard that His Royal Highness Chujun was unwell, and the slaves were not allowed to come to pay his respects. I don't know what is going on now. On the day of the funeral, His Royal Highness Chujun is absolutely indispensable."

What happened in Fenghua Palace can't be kept secret, plus some rumors and gossips over the years, the palace people also guessed it roughly, but the queen said that Chu Yifeng stayed in Fenghua Palace because he was unwell, so Chu Yifeng must Just feeling unwell.

The queen paused when she heard the words, and said: "It's nothing, I just miss his father, and the weather is too lively these days, it's already fine, and it will definitely not be delayed in a few days."

Xu Quan bowed his head: "His Royal Highness Chujun is extremely benevolent and filial, and he must also pay attention to his body. After all, this is the foundation of the country. I still have some things to look at, so I will go first."

The queen nodded.

Mother Kang changed a cup of tea for the queen, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... If you want this slave to tell you, just see through it. His Highness the King of England and the Young Lord are both your best friends. You don't feel sorry for anyone who hurts you. It is His Royal Highness who does not leave any heirs. To put it bluntly, the King of England is not the only prince. In the future, the two princes will have heirs, and they will be your grandchildren if they are passed to His Royal Highness? Xiaohou The Lord wants His Highness the King of England to recognize the young... in the name of His Highness the King of England, I think it will be good for slaves."

"Is it your grandson after all? Knowing that it is under the name of other princes and county kings, how can there be such a relative? It is just like this that you can take the child to the palace and raise it under your knees. Is this not good? But the King of England Your Highness and Young Lord... It's fine if you see through it. You look at it like that, and it's inseparable from the usual. The old servant has lived at such an old age. He has seen a lot and heard a lot. He has a hard-hearted face. People, I couldn't help crying when I saw that scene today, let alone you."

The queen picked up the handkerchief and wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and nodded: "To Feng'er, I am so hurt and ashamed, I have always loved him less all these years, and now this happened because I took care of him when I was young. Is it the reason? If I cared for him a lot, I wouldn't know these things now... Well, looking at today's situation, if I force the two children again, I don't know what will happen. Well, with Feng'er's progress Come on, the matter about the child... I have to come forward."

Mother Kang felt relieved and nodded: "It's good that the empress figured it out."

The queen trapped Chu Yifeng in the Fenghua Palace, and Chu Yifeng would not eat or drink. The queen was so anxious that she could hardly stand it anymore. How could she bear the begging of the two children today? After letting Ling Xiao enter the palace today, Ling Xiao met Chu Yifeng directly. He hugged the person to the couch.

The queen watched Ling Xiao comfort Chu Yifeng with her arms around her, and brought tea to feed him. There was a tacit understanding between the two of them, as if they had been together for so many years. The queen felt uncomfortable and guilty when she saw Chu Yifeng wake up. Then he came out with peace of mind, and there was nothing he could do after hearing Madam Kang's words. Since he couldn't stop them, he would help them and make up for what he owed Chu Yifeng all these years.

After going through such a big difficulty, and with his lover taking care of him every day, Chu Yifeng recovered in just two days. It was not suitable for him to live in Fenghua Palace, let alone Ling Xiao who was accompanying him. As soon as he recovered, he quickly moved out of the palace and returned to the Palace of the King of England.

Now it's all been revealed, Ling Xiao no longer avoids suspicion, and lives in the Yingwang's mansion openly. Don't others say that he is Chu Yifeng's prostitute?Of course, it is appropriate for pets to live in the owner's house.

As soon as this happened, I don't know whether it was because he was no longer afraid of people seeing it, or because he was frightened by the short parting. Chu Yifeng liked to be tired of Ling Xiao even more, and there was a sweet smell of dependence in his actions. People who think of men naturally like Chu Yifeng's intimacy.

"Yesterday when you were taking a break, my aunt discussed with me for an hour, and it was about the child." Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng sat on the soft couch. Chu Yifeng didn't know whether he was tired or just wanted to lean against Ling Xiao, and lay down on Ling Xiao's pillow. On Xiao's lap, he nodded: "We are discussing how to do it?"

Ling Xiao smiled: "We are discussing to give you a ready-made son, but it is not possible now. The matter of Prince Hui's mansion has just come out, so I will tell it now to avoid suspicion from those who care, so I will first tell the public that you did not bring it from the north. A concubine gave birth to a young son, but the weather is not good enough to bring him here, and when the summer heat is over, he will be brought to the imperial city, and there will be an aunt on the clan side to explain, so we don't have to worry about it."

"What about tomorrow? What will he do?" Chu Yifeng thought for a while, "Can't he be recorded in my name?"

Ling Xiao paused for a moment: "He's already grown up, so he can't deceive people into saying it belongs to you. If people find out about it, it will ruin the matter of the little emperor's grandson. What my aunt and I mean is that we belong to the royal family. Find one of them, you can rest assured, but don’t be in a hurry, then my aunt will find her confidants to come to the mansion to take care of the two children, and when the limelight passes, she will bring the little grandson to the palace.”

Chu Yifeng thought for a while and nodded: "Well, you and the queen must have thought carefully, that's all."

"Now everything is complete. After you ascend the throne, Guang Rong'er will be crowned as the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty. An Taihou will be the head of the country, and you will have a child..." Ling Xiao rubbed Chu Yifeng's head, "I have a wife and children." You still have double filial piety, with the help of your aunt, forgive those ministers and clan members who can't tell you to marry another concubine."

Chu Yifeng smiled: "The queen mother said to help us?"

"Well." Ling Xiao chuckled, "Not only these, you have to have some plans in mind, there are many people who helped you get on the throne, how to reward you after you get on the throne?"

Chu Yifeng yawned: "Not counting."

"I... knew you didn't count, so I'll figure it all out for you." Ling Xiao accepted his fate, knowing that Chu Yifeng had almost forgotten about the business in his heart, got up and took a booklet, opened it and handed it to Chu Yifeng, " This is the reward I proposed for everyone, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War have the most replacements, so take a look."

Chu Yifeng took Ling Xiao's hand, flipped through it casually, Ling Xiao couldn't help it, and sighed: "Be obedient, you are going to be the emperor, at least you have to know who is who in the three provinces and six departments? You can change it as appropriate."

"Yeah." Chu Yifeng still had a naive face, turned his head for a while and said, "Why don't you have it?"

Ling Xiao smiled, pointed to a place on the third page and said, "Look? This is not me? Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Chu Yifeng was dumbfounded: "Are you kidding? Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

Chu Yifeng shook his head, picked up a pen and wiped the place, seeing that the people in the three provinces were almost full, and the left and right ministers in the Shangshu province had also drawn up people, Chu Yifeng smiled: "Isn't there a shortage of one?" Just write: "Shang-shu-ling-ling-xiao-"

"Feng'er!" Ling Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you want the officials and censors to kneel down in Chengqian Palace? There are vacancies in several places because the official position is too big and important, and I still have to discuss it with you. A Shangshu I can hardly hold back, Shang Shuling?"

Chu Yifeng smiled: "The minister of the Ministry of Industry is not good. It would be great if you just let you take charge of the six departments. Okay, let me change the inappropriate ones. If I really changed it, you will say... what the official Yushi loves to say, just say what you want. Who cares about him."

Ling Xiao laughed, and persuaded Chu Yifeng for a long time, but Chu Yifeng was distracted and thought of going elsewhere, and suddenly said after a long while: "When my grandfather came to conquer the country, he rewarded many people with meritorious deeds. As a subject of meritorious service, I have to show some kind of performance, okay?"

"There is this too, isn't it written here?" Ling Xiao pointed to Chu Yifeng, "I have roughly drawn up an idea, how to award the reward is up to you, but in the end you have to discuss it with the people in the Ministry of Rites."

Chu Yifeng opened it, but there was still no Ling Xiao.Chu Yifeng didn't speak, and discussed with Ling Xiao for a long time before falling asleep.

"My lord, this..." Yu Xiangjia, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help interjecting after hearing Chu Yifeng's meaning, "It's really... There has been no such precedent since the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, this title..."

Chu Yifeng said with a smile: "I know there is no such case, isn't it from me? You are the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and I think you have a little ink in your stomach. I don't know much about these things. You just need to think of a good title for me. It's not difficult. Bar?"

Cold sweat broke out on Yu Xiangjia's forehead, thinking that it's over, I won't guarantee you in the evening, I will write this title for you in the future, and I will write it down in the history books, Yu Xiangjia bowed and said: "Chen... Chen Gang Those titles mentioned are not good?"

"No." Chu Yifeng turned his head and said to the maidservants, "Give Lord Yu some tea and snacks, let him think about it, don't worry." He added with a smile, "Then don't be too slow, the young master will be there in a while." You're back, don't let him know."

Yu Xiangjia couldn't even sweat anymore.

A few days later, Emperor Daxing went to the funeral. Chu Yifeng, as the eldest son of Emperor Daxing and the prince of Dachu Kingdom, helped the spirit all the way, and his filial piety won the admiration of all officials.

Three days after the late emperor's funeral, Chu Yifeng, the honorable prince of Jian Guo, was appointed by heaven and formally enthroned in the Xuande Hall of Chengqian Palace.

On the day of ascension to the throne, it was customary to amnesty the world to enshrine meritorious ministers, but Chu Yifeng was the first person who did not amnesty the world. Chu Yifeng said clearly: "Guilty people suffer in prison to atone for their sins, why can they be exonerated just because I am enthroned?" As for wanting the people to praise my benevolence, I think that it is true benevolence not to forgive the world and let the guilty be released from prison to harm the village."

As soon as this remark came out, the officials didn't have any answers, they only thought to themselves that they were military generals.

When all the officials thought this was an astonishing move, Chu Yifeng, Emperor Wu of the Great Chu Dynasty, did one of the most criticized things in his short 18-year reign.

The eunuch read out the officials who were awarded and rewarded one by one, and finally paused, and said in a loud voice: "Ling Xiao, the grandson of Marquis Kang, is talented and intelligent. Yu Rouhuai, specially conferred the title of Marquis of Zijun, whose origin will last forever, and who will be at peace with the country."

It's nothing to be a Marquis, and it's nothing to be an ambiguous and intimacy title. The sentence "This branch will last forever, and the country will be in peace" is enough to shock the government and the public. This is the only hereditary and irreplaceable title in this dynasty. Chu Yifeng means very much. It's easy to understand that this branch will last forever, and it will be related to the country, which means that as long as the Da Chu Dynasty is here, the title of Zi Junhou given to Ling Xiao will be passed down from generation to generation, and will be tied to the Chu family from generation to generation.

Chu Yifeng finally stood at the highest point of the golden hall. Not only did he want Ling Xiao to be respected while he was alive, but he also wanted Ling Xiao to be respected and enshrined from generation to generation after his death.

Ling Xiao was so moved that he couldn't help but look up at the man sitting on the throne on the golden steps. Chu Yifeng, who was wearing a nine-fold crown and a golden dragon robe, also looked at Ling Xiao, his lips moved a few times without making a sound, But Ling Xiao saw what Chu Yifeng said, and he said: Unfortunately, there is still not enough for you.

Ling Xiao stepped forward, knelt down and bowed deeply, deeply: "I thank you."
