Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

Zhou Xingzhi and Ye Chengxiang got along very well. Taking this opportunity, Zhou Xingzhi also asked Ye Chengxiang some questions, and told him that he would start to rectify the Imperial Forest Army in the near future.

"Your Majesty's thoughts are clear to me, but I may want to pour cold water on His Majesty." Prime Minister Ye said, "Although Prince Jia does not meddle in government affairs on the surface, and does not participate in court meetings, but his influence has penetrated into various places. , especially in the capital city where there are so many eyes and ears."

"Perhaps he didn't do anything about the Royal Palace Guards, but in the Imperial Forest Army, as far as I know, at least one of the deputy commanders is Prince Jia's." Prime Minister Ye said, his tone was a little serious, "So I ask Your Majesty to think twice before acting. If there is no suitable way, it is better not to act rashly."

Zhou Xingzhi bent his fingers and tapped the table, "Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, construction of my mausoleum should start after my own administration, right?"

Prime Minister Ye was stunned for a moment, wondering why Zhou Xingzhi mentioned this, "Yes, because the construction of mausoleums often takes longer, so the construction usually starts early in the morning."

"Prime Minister, don't you think this is a very good opportunity?" Zhou Xingzhi smiled, "The construction of the mausoleum requires recruiting manpower. Is it not too much for me to recruit [-] strong men? The construction of the imperial mausoleum also requires money. I will allocate some money to go down." Not too much, right?"

"But..." Prime Minister Ye was a little hesitant. Doing so would indeed prevent other people from prying eyes, but the progress of the construction of the imperial tomb would have to be put on hold, let alone training troops within the scope of the imperial tomb.

"Prime Minister, this is just an excuse. I am only 16 years old now. Even if I have been training for ten years, I am still only 26 years old. I have enough time to build the mausoleum." Zhou Xingzhi said, "I have already handed over the private treasury to the queen. Take care of it, when the time comes, the prime minister can directly discuss it with the queen."

Prime Minister Ye took a deep breath, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally stood up from his seat to salute, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."

When the first emperor was in power, he had a lot of trust in himself, but in five years, he changed from a servant to a prime minister with less than one person and more than ten thousand people.Now His Majesty is in charge, and has entrusted himself with a heavy responsibility, directly handing over the most important Royal Forest Army to his hands.Just relying on this trust, the Ye family will do their best for His Majesty!

After discussing the matter, Zhou Xingzhi asked Prime Minister Ye if he wanted to meet Ye Ningxuan, so that the father and daughter could catch up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ye Cheng treated his son and daughter equally, and he would not delay if he had the opportunity to meet Ye Ningxuan.

When the father and daughter wanted to meet to reminisce about the past, Zhou Xingzhi went to the imperial study first and began to review the memorial.

"My lord, see the empress." Seeing Ye Ningxuan's good-looking look, Prime Minister Ye finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then bent down to salute.

"Father, what are you doing?" Ye Ningxuan quickly helped her father up.

"This is in the imperial palace, and etiquette cannot be abandoned." Prime Minister Ye stood up straight and earnestly told him, "Now your Majesty is the only one doting on you, and I don't know how many people inside and outside the palace will stare at you and wait for you." You made a mistake."

"Although your majesty values ​​me, it's not that exaggerated." Ye Ningxuan said, Zhou Xingzhi is right to sleep with her every night, but he also eats with other concubines during the day, so it's not like he's the only one doting on her.

Prime Minister Ye sighed, and briefly mentioned what happened at the court meeting, "This is the first time that the Yushi beheaded at the Meridian Gate since the establishment of our dynasty. Doesn't this prove that your majesty has feelings for you?" ?"

Ye Ningxuan was also stunned for a while, Zhou Xingzhi directly cut off the head of a censor in order to protect her.That's the censor, even Emperor Tai Zu can only hold his nose and listen to the censor's reference to him.

"Also, Your Majesty entrusted me with the affairs of the Imperial Forest Army, and asked you and my father and daughter to join forces." Prime Minister Ye said seriously, and briefly mentioned, "This matter is extremely important, and you should be careful when you act in the palace. .”

"Father, don't worry, I understand." Ye Ningxuan nodded seriously.

"Besides, there's one more thing I'm worried about for my father." Prime Minister Ye's tone was a bit tangled, logically it would be more appropriate for his wife to say these words, but now the situation is different, he can only bite the bullet and speak.

"Father, please tell me." Ye Ningxuan sat up straight.

"Now the previous dynasty knows that His Majesty favors you alone. If possible, you'd better conceive an heir earlier. If you give birth to a son, it will be a good thing for both Your Majesty and you. "

After hearing what her father said, Ye Ningxuan had a slightly weird expression on her face.It's not something she can think about to have a baby by herself.

Although I and Zhou Xingzhi slept together every night, I didn't know what was going on. I seemed to be very sleepy as soon as I lay on the pillow, and fell asleep before I could say anything. There was no time or opportunity for anything to happen.

"Okay, my daughter has written it down." Ye Ningxuan didn't have the nerve to discuss this kind of thing with her father, so she could only answer vaguely first.

Prime Minister Ye's advice was kept in mind by Ye Ningxuan. Before going to bed, Ye Ningxuan specially drank some refreshing tea to prevent herself from falling asleep as soon as she lay down.

"Queen, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed first." As usual, after discussing political affairs with Ye Ningxuan, Zhou Xingzhi proposed to sleep together.

"Okay." Ye Ningxuan replied, she felt that she was very awake now, she didn't feel sleepy at all, even if she lay on the bed, she could stay awake for at least half an hour!

The bright candlelight was quickly extinguished, only the moonlight and the faint candlelight in the distance were flickering, vaguely illuminating some outlines.

"Your Majesty, thank you." After a moment of silence, Ye Ningxuan spoke first, "I heard from my father about the early court today, thank you Your Majesty for protecting me."

"Queen, you are welcome. You are my wife, so I will naturally protect you." Zhou Xingzhi turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Ye Ningxuan.

"That..." Ye Ningxuan opened her mouth, and she had clearly prepared some words beforehand, but when she really wanted to say them, she suddenly became timid and shy again.

"What does the queen want to say?" Zhou Xingzhi asked patiently, his tone softer than during the day.

"Cough, it's nothing, Your Majesty has been exhausted all day, go to bed early." Ye Ningxuan chose to swallow the words again as her tongue was on the tip of her tongue.Tell yourself in your heart, Your Majesty is too tired today, it is not suitable to mention those things, so let's take it easy and talk about it tomorrow.

"Well, the empress has worked hard too." Zhou Xingzhi didn't know what Ye Ningxuan was thinking, but he just reached out his hand to help her lift the quilt a little, so that she wouldn't catch a cold.

"En." Ye Ningxuan shrank her neck, and smelled a faint ambergris, which was the scent from Zhou Xingzhi's body.

This is the incense commonly used by His Majesty, it seems to taste quite good...

Ye Ningxuan's thoughts began to wander, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.The moment I closed my eyes, a thought flashed through my mind.

It's strange, she obviously drank refreshing tea, why did she fall asleep after touching the pillow again, could it be that she has narcolepsy...

Seeing Ye Ningxuan skillfully treating herself as a pillow, Zhou Xingzhi let go of the last bit of worry about revealing his identity, stretched out a finger to tidy up Ye Ningxuan's hair, and then fell asleep with his arms around her waist .

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Jing Zhaoyin investigated the case together, and the son of the servant of the household department was quickly investigated.

There were indeed incidents of molesting women in the street, and it was true that women were cut in the face, but the person who did it was not the son of the servant of the household department, but a friend he just made.

The servant's son is a very emotional person. After his friend committed a crime, he begged him hard and asked him to help him once. He couldn't bear to lend him two people for a while, and something happened after the loan.

"So, the son of the servant of the household department was wronged?" Zhou Xingzhi looked at the memorial in his hand, and the expression on his face was not happy.

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the person was borrowed by the Minister of the Minister. Now that something happened, he is at least an accomplice." The Shaoqing of Dali Temple said, "At least when I visited, the common people had the impression of the Minister of the Minister. Do it with your hands, not with the servant's friend."

"Your Majesty, the minister is responsible for this matter. It is the minister's lack of strictness in teaching his son, which made him make friends with those cronies and made a big mistake." The household servant said, he knew his child's temperament, and he His son was cheated this time.

Zhou Xingzhi glanced over the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Jing Zhaoyin, and the servant of the household department one by one. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's not a big mistake. The servant of the household department is earnestly completing the things I told you. That's why there is a little problem in educating children, and I am also responsible for this matter."

Zhou Xingzhi has seen the ability of the servant of the household department, and he does not form a party for personal gain, and is a rare pure minister in the court.Since she wanted the Minister of the Household Department to work for her, she had to clarify her attitude and give favors.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to be a minister." The servant of the household department hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

"Aiqing, get up and talk." Zhou Xingzhi looked at Shaoqing of Dali Temple as he spoke, "Speaking of which, Shaoqing, your previous investigation seems not rigorous enough, but you only got to the surface of the matter."

"I'm really too impatient. I'm guilty. Your Majesty please punish me." The young minister of Dali Temple admitted frankly and knelt on the ground to admit his mistake.

Zhou Xingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He was so eloquent when he complained, but now he admits his mistake so readily.

"Aiqing was joking. You are just pleading for the people. It is wrong to be impatient, but you are not guilty." Zhou Xingzhi put on a smile on his face.

"According to my opinion, the culprit of this incident should be that villain. I think he must be dealt with severely and strictly." Zhou Xingzhi said, "As for the servant and Shaoqing, there are small mistakes, but they are not guilty. I will fine you three months' salary as compensation for the victimized woman."

"What do you love ladies think?" Zhou Xingzhi asked.

"Your Majesty is wise." Jing Zhaoyin answered the question in a timely manner and settled the matter.

"Your Majesty is wise." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment reacted a bit slower.

"Your Majesty is holy." Dali Temple Shaoqing and Hubu Shilang saluted together, then turned their heads to look at each other, their eyes were not very friendly.

No matter what the two stand for, today's beam will be closed.
