Fengxiang Miles

1.

From a distance, there seemed to be a few figures gathered under the tree, but when they got closer, they were just a few weathered skeletons.Thousands of miles of fertile land, a piece of scorched earth!

It turned out that this was the situation Jing Qi had been trying to hide all along, Yao Guang suddenly turned around.Jing Qi was frightened by Yao Guang's blazing gaze and took a few steps back, bowing his head guiltyly, for fear of Yao Guang's questioning.But although Yao Guang raised his face, there was no cheated anger on his face.Even if you are prepared to face the wasteland, seeing it with your own eyes is still beyond your imagination. 30 years of disasters can ruin a country like this!Yaoguang started to have a headache.

The Jinbo Palace is really like the Qionglou Yuyu that Jing Qi said, when Yao Guang arrived, all the officials had already been waiting outside the forbidden gate, kneeling on the ground in unison.Finally, a new king was established, and some officials even covered their faces and cried bitterly.

The enthronement ceremony was solemn and grand, and the reign name Qiongyang was set by Jing Qi.Yao Guang began to live in Jinbo Palace.Jing Qi's old style of not talking much, he carefully chooses his words before speaking, and if he thinks it is a topic that will cause other people's displeasure, he will swallow it back.Although the intention is gentle, it is even more irritating. "How can there be a truth after thinking twice?" Yao Guang held back the words of reproach.It is easy to let go of the burden, but it is difficult to truly be free. It is like a prisoner who has been imprisoned for a long time and is suddenly free, but he is at a loss as to what to do.It also takes a process for Yaoguang to adapt to the current role, but it is smoother than expected. All the officials agree with the orders issued, and everyone respects them wherever he goes.Yao Guang felt that he was much luckier than Yang Zi, and wanted to hear the voices of dissatisfaction from the ministers, but was disappointed that such dissatisfaction did not seem to exist at all.Maybe it's because of the long drought and the rain, the Jade Seat has been vacant for too long, so even a Penglai guest who suddenly appeared and didn't understand anything could make everything go well for her, and I only hope that she can stay on the Jade Seat with peace of mind.

Zukazai's name is Jinggong, but he is a majestic, prestigious and capable minister. He does everything he is told to be perfect and neat. Qi, Jing Qi also thinks that he is a rare talent for governing the country.Yao Guang once secretly went down to the capital to investigate. Although the streets are depressed, they are in good order, and the facilities to prevent demons are well constructed. It seems that during the absence of the king, the Jing Communist Party has indeed kept the country’s decline to a minimum, and there has been no state disaster. The civil strife in the room is really a great achievement.This is also what makes Yaoguang puzzled. It stands to reason that since the institutions at all levels have been operating normally over the years, the country should not be so deserted, but Yaoguang has no idea how much the vacancy of the Jade Seat will affect the weather.

"The current population of each prefecture is 80 households, which can be cultivated..." Mr. Jing's detailed report has been played for an hour.

"80?" Yao Guang couldn't help but smile wryly. In Penglai, it's just a number for a medium-sized city. "How much was it when King Yu was in power?"

"It's almost the same." Jing Gong sensed Yao Guang's disappointment, and immediately said, "I will ask all countries to announce the news of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, and order the scattered Qing people to return to the country, and the population will increase immediately."

"No need." Yao Guang said, "If you want to go back, you can go back, if you don't want to go back, it's up to you."

"Does Your Majesty want to abandon those displaced people? Although it is unjust for them to leave when the country is in crisis, it is also the trend of the world."

Yao Guang thought for a while, not knowing how to explain what he meant. "A group of children were playing outside. Most of the children were standing on the street to play. Only one child was playing in a secluded alley, because he knew it was dangerous on the street with cars coming and going. At this moment, a horse in a car was startled. Now, run wildly on the street, unable to stop the car, what will you do?"

"Of course it is to lead the horse to a secluded street, and then find a way to subdue it." Jing Gong replied.

"But this will sacrifice the child who was playing in the alley, but he appeared there because he made the right choice." Yaoguang asked, "If more people are saved, does it represent the truth?" No Waiting for Jing Gong to answer, Yao Guang continued: "So the size of the population does not reflect the virtue of the king's governance. If I can't make these 80 people happy, let alone rule 800 million. If the country can recover, the people will naturally come back. Otherwise it's just another disappointment for them."

"Your Majesty is wise." Jing Gong echoed.

"Shengming?" Yao Guang has heard these two words all over his ears these days, and he can't help being a little annoyed at this moment, looking at Jing Gong bitterly.

Jing Gong also looked back at Yao Guang. For a long while, the monarch and his ministers had nothing to say, they just looked at each other blindly.

Then Jing Gong raised his head and asked, "Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with the minister?"

Jinggong did a great job, Yaoguang only praised him, and had no dissatisfaction, but at this time Yaoguang pulled his face down and asked sharply, "Why is the land tax in Hezhou so high?"

"Natural disasters are rampant, and the government's army is spending a lot of money, so I suggest that the people return to the country quickly and share the burden..."

Yaoguang ignored Jinggong's argument, "Immediately declare to the whole country that the tax of each state government shall not exceed [-]%." Yaoguang pointed to the emerald jade incense burner in front of him, "I pawned all these things in the palace, it is an eyesore ."

Jing Gong was taken aback, "How can this work, the Jinbo Palace was bestowed by the Emperor of Heaven, and the previous emperors can only increase..."

Yao Guang waved his hand to stop Jing Gong from continuing, "Could it be that you let me watch the people die, and still foolishly hold these gold and silver as the polished king?"

Jing Gong led the decree to retreat.

Sitting in the chair, Yaoguang suddenly felt cold, "This Jinggong--," remembering that Jinggong didn't shy away from his gaze just now, "It's really capable, and I don't have any respect for the king at all." In fact, these days, Yaoguang also gradually realized that the officials were looking at Jinggong's face and doing things, so as long as the matter was entrusted to Jinggong, the government orders would be smooth, but Yaoguang didn't want to be a show-like king.

"It seems that lack of prestige is not enough to deter!" Yao Guang said in a high voice.

"Is there anything unsatisfactory, Your Majesty?" A gentle voice sounded, and Jing Qi was being ushered into the imperial study by a not-so-young female official.

"Jing Qi, are you all busy with the affairs in the state?" Yao Guang's mood brightened immediately, "I was just about to ask you about Da Wang, 'Huai Da', not only the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but I also have it!"

"It's better to let Yuye say it than me, she is an old palace." Jing Qi was very happy when he heard that.

Yuye gave a salute and replied: "King Da is a Xidai Mingjun that people dare not look up to. He subdue demons and calm chaos. He is a very mighty king. At that time, the celebration was well-known in the twelve countries. Sending people to congratulate, it was really beautiful at that time! The servants don't understand the affairs of the country, so they can't say it well, but Dawang is very kind to us court ladies." Yuye pointed out the window, "The big tree in the garden It was planted by King Da himself, and the servant was lucky enough to help the branch, "Yu Ye remembered, and Yao Guang found that there was a different kind of tenderness on Yu Ye's face at this time, which was the sweet radiance exclusive to happy women, making the whole The face instantly became younger, as if time was turning back at this time.

"What happened later? Did you lose your way?" Yao Guang asked.

"Of course not, Dawang abdicated himself."

"Ah? Once the king abdicates, won't he die? Is it because he is tired of ruling the world for too long?" Yao Guang was taken aback.

"At that time, I also dared to persuade, but Dawang smiled and said to me very easily, 'Yuye, you don't understand, the king should have thoughts that surpass others or even surpass the times, but the thoughts of the same person are always limited. , can’t make the country progress for a long time!’ I said, ‘But the future king may not be as wise as you!’ At this time, Da Wang’s face became serious, ‘The world needs to change, so it needs different ways of ruling. If The alternation of the times really brings turmoil, and that is the price that human beings must pay for progress!'" Yu Ye wiped the corner of her eyes and continued, "I still clearly remember Da Wang's hopeful eyes at that time, he said to me :'Yu Ye, use your eyes here to watch for me!'"

Yao Guang's turbulent mood can't be calmed down for a long time..., this is the difference between the sage and the mediocre!I can't wait!

Huaida -- the pillar of the hearts of the people of Qing Dynasty for thousands of years!

"Xiangyun, I've never seen such a big one, and it won't leave for a long time!" Jing Gong looked at the five-colored turtle-shaped clouds in the sky and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Hey, it looks like he will be a powerful monarch!" A voice hidden deep in the curtain said coldly.

"I'm afraid it's too powerful," Jing Gong said with a smile without looking back, "it's not good for her."

2.

"How many square meters is the area of ​​Hezhou?" Yao Guang asked Hezhou Marquis who came to Beijing to report on his work.

Hou Zhou looked at a loss.Tianguan Zhang is a bright young man, and he said: "Your Majesty is talking about the measurement method of Penglai, right? The land here is based on 'well'. To answer your majesty's question just now, I am afraid that I have to invite Taifu to Penglai to see it on the ground. Let's do the math." After finishing speaking, he felt it was ridiculous, and laughed lightly.Several officials around couldn't help laughing too, so everyone also thought it was funny and burst out laughing.It wasn't until Jinggong coughed lightly that he calmed down.

Yao Guang sat idly on the jade seat, after a while, as if waking up from a dream: "Oh, are you done laughing?" Standing up, she walked down the steps step by step, followed by Jing Qi embarrassingly.

Yao Guang paced back and forth among the officials, and said in a soft voice: "It's so funny! A woman who knows nothing about the country has become the king! Isn't it funny?" She suddenly changed her voice and said sharply, "Why don't you laugh? Laugh once!"

No one laughs anymore.Yao Guang smiled, with a cold smile: "The new king is the first to ascend the great treasure, and he does his best to help his subjects, which is regarded as disloyalty; the king made a mistake but joked on the sidelines, which is regarded as unrighteousness! This kind of disloyalty Minister of Righteousness," Yao Guang turned around abruptly, pointing directly at the Heavenly Official, "What do I want you for?!"

"Come here!" Yao Guang shouted to the outside of the hall, but no one answered.Yao Guang walked to the door angrily and kicked the hall door open.Several inner court guards were gathering head to head to gamble. Seeing King Jing's sudden appearance, they didn't even have time to collect the dice, and knelt on the ground in a mess. "Heavenly officials manage well!" Yao Guang sneered, pointing to the tallest one among them, "You, bring someone in, drag this useless worm down, and chop it up!"

"Your Majesty!" All the officials were shocked!

"Your Majesty, don't slaughter important ministers for such a trivial matter!" Jing Gong said.

"Small thing? I don't think so."

"My lord, even though the heavenly officials insulted my lord, the crime is not worthy of death." Jing Qi persuaded.

"Haven't you heard of 'the master humiliated the minister to death'? Slap!" Yao Guang turned around and reprimanded Jing Qi, showing no mercy to Jing Qi.

When Jing Qi heard this, he was stunned in disbelief.

"Didn't you hear the order?" Yao Guang said to the big guard, "I will kill you!"

Yao Guang has always been amiable since he ascended the throne, all officials have never seen him so angry, his eyes are cold, and no one is advising him at this time.

"Good!" The big man smiled and raised his foot to kick the ass of the official, "Why are you in a daze? Get slaughtered!"

"Officer Qiu can record this case as much as possible," Yao Guang said to the official Qiu who was in charge of the sentence, "but don't forget to sprinkle more peach blossoms for the funeral of Official Tian!" Everyone heard Yao Guang suddenly say no If you are out of your mind, look at each other.Official Qiu trembled when he heard the words, and collapsed to the ground.

"Scatter!"

Yao Guang walked quickly to the imperial study room, and found that Jing Qi was still following behind him, saying: "You don't need to say any more."

Jing Qi still had an unbelievable look on his face, and lifted his lips, but what he said was: "The Lord hasn't said how much he slapped his mouth."

Yao Guang turned around and raised his palm to slap Jing Qi on the cheek.Jing Qi didn't expect it, but she had no choice but to accept it forcefully, who told her to be her own master.With a soft sound, she didn't feel any pain, and looked down at Yao Guang's face, which was smiling.

"You, really!" Yao Guang laughed, "Just say what you want."

But Jing Qi didn't speak.Things have come to this, people are dead, what else to say?

"You have something to say, but you're bored inside, don't you feel bad?" Yao Guang was most unhappy. Every time Jing Qi hesitated to speak, "You want to say that the king you chose is a tyrant, don't you?"

"It seems inappropriate for the Lord to kill people at will."

"Jing Qi, do you trust Jing Gong?" Yao Guang suddenly asked, as if changing the topic.

Jing Qi pondered for a while, "He has no bad deeds yet."

"You don't trust me either, do you? The new dynasty is in ruins, how can I hang my life in the hands of others? That day the official was a good dog of the Communist Party of Jing."

"Your Majesty can cut officials and seize titles as much as you want, but you don't have to kill them."

"I heard that Heavenly Officials are fond of peach blossoms. Over the past few years, dozens of young girls have been tortured and killed in the capital, and the bodies of the dead are covered with peach blossoms. Yingzhou is under your rule, and you must have heard of it."

"The lord is saying--the heavenly official?"

"Ah, if you go down for a walk, you can learn a lot. Although it is a troubled time, such a big case is not even filed on the grounds of demon disasters. I don’t know how many tragedies will happen if I take the opportunity to kill him.”

But Jing Qi was frightened by another matter at this time, "When did your lord leave the Jinbo Palace? What does your lord want to know? I will investigate for my lord. Please don't do such rash things in the future. "

This sentence made Yao Guang sound heartwarming, "No more. After today's incident, I'm afraid someone will immediately guess that I went down. Arowana is in white clothes. It may not be safe to go again."

Jing Qi couldn't help laughing at Yao Guang's listening to people's persuasion.

"Jing Qi now feels that the Lord is not only a good master for Jing Qi, but also a good king for Qing."

"Oh, I finally heard your words, I thought I'd have to work hard for at least half my life!" Yao Guang laughed.

"There is a big event today, so let's put the memorial aside for now, how about walking around?"

"Where does the Lord want to go?"

"I haven't seen the place where Jing Qi lives, is that okay?"

"my pleasure!"

Jing Qi lived in Xiangrui Palace, Yao Guang thought it was very close, but in fact it was quite a distance from Yao Guang's bedroom.The house is not big, hidden in a grove of purple bamboos, it was not a famous bedroom in the past, but because Jing Qi chose this place, it was renamed Xiangrui Palace.The interior is luxuriously decorated and extremely tidy, yet unexpectedly comfortable.A piece of piano, a game of chess, several landscapes, and the bronze incense burner is emitting green smoke, showing the style of the owner.Thinking about my messy room, which is full of memorials and reports, and the maids are not allowed to clean it up, for fear of messing it up, now I really feel like I was born in a peach blossom garden.

"What kind of tea is your lord drinking?"

"Ah," Yao Guang woke up from the intoxication, "don't bother, just ask the maid to have a drink."

"How can I do that? Can I drink the tea cooked by the maid?" Jing Qi shook his head and said with a smile, taking out the antique tea set.

Moisture lingered, Jing Qi was buried in the mist, and his slender fingers were skillfully manipulated, elegant and unconventional, like a living ink painting.

Suddenly, Yao Guang became restless, stood up, walked to the table, and stroked the strings casually.The piano made a 'boom' sound, as if the wrath of the gods, and the lingering sound lasted for a long time.

"What piano? How strange!"

"Lightning Strike Wood".

"It's really thunderous, I'm afraid it's priceless?"

"Does the Lord want to pawn it too? It's not worth anything if I did it myself."

Yao Guang seemed restless, looked around and found a small brocade box on the desk, beautiful like a woman's jewelry box, when she opened it, there was really a green jade bracelet inside. Almost dripping juice.

"Ha! I found out!" Yao Guang smiled at Jing Qi and squeezed his eyes, "Is it a gift from a beauty?"

"It's not like that!" Jing Qi blushed, "It's just a friend who helped her once, and she gave it to her."

"Heroes save the beauty, you will never forget it!" Yao Guang continued to tease.

"No," Jing Qi said anxiously, "I was just told not to throw it away, and I agreed."

Yao Guang laughed, but still didn't let Jing Qi go, "What kind of girl is she?"

"It's Xiangqiong, the princess of Fangguo. She's an abominable girl who can always turn her evil deeds into good deeds." Jing Qi replied, feeling a little nostalgic, as if she was criticizing, but the word 'abominable' sounded like a joke. It sounds like 'cute'.

Yao Guang's heart sank for some reason.

"Can you send me off?"

"The Lord likes to just take it."

"Then put it on for me."

Jing Qi came over, took out the bracelet, and carefully put it on Yao Guang's wrist.

"Is it good looking?" Yao Guang asked.

"nice."

"Afraid some woman asked, you would answer like that, right?"

Yao Guang suddenly became angry, angry with Jing Qi, and even more angry with herself, she reached out to remove the bracelet, but couldn't take it off.

"I'm not slender, I don't deserve such fine jewelry."

After finishing speaking sourly, he was also frightened by his own tone.Looking up at Jing Qi, he has retreated behind the smoke screen, in the misty water vapor, his figure is ethereal, so far away.

"Master's tea is ready." He said lightly, without any warmth.

What is wrong with me?Yao Guang returned to the study angrily.Yao Guang was disgusted by the memorials all over the room, raised his hand and knocked down the neatly stacked memorials on the table with a snap.The court ladies hurriedly knelt on the ground to pick it up, but no one dared to ask. Yao Guang has never been a gentle and kind master.

Yao Guang waved her hand to repel everyone, leaving only her unsteady breathing in the huge room.

There are memorials everywhere, and the content is nothing more than full of praises, or small things like sesame and mung beans, it seems that the ministers specially do it to consume their energy.bored.It's only been a few months, so it gets boring so quickly.So why did you take it in the first place?

Because I was looking forward to it with those clear purple eyes, I muddleheadedly accepted it.How is this different from life in Penglai?Same as before.Because of his mother's request, he ignored his own will and did this and that.

What can I wish for?love?Like King Yu and all the women in this palace.

Don't you want to set him free?The result was that he was better than Yu Wangdao and netted him more tightly.

Yao Guang closed his eyes, as if a years old wound had been roughly torn open by a big hand, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

I stopped thinking of myself as a woman.Love is too extravagant!

Yao Guang sighed, bent down to pick up the scattered memorials on the floor, and buried her head to read each page. If the ministers can follow her hard work as an example and work conscientiously, then my hard work will not be in vain .

After walking on the road chosen by others for me for a long time, I don't even remember the road I originally wanted to walk.

The Jade Throne is just a gorgeous robe covered in lice.

She seemed to have fallen asleep lying on the table, but was suddenly awakened by a nightmare.The window was blown open by the strong wind at some point, and a chill shot down her spine, and she suddenly had a feeling of being observed by someone or something.

"Who?" she called, rushing to the window.

The wind blew past, but there was no sound other than that.

"These are all winter weapons? What are they usually used for?" Yao Guang asked, looking at the weapons in the warehouse.

"Your Majesty, these weapons are all top-grade winter weapons and are rarely used. If they are to be taken out of the storage, they need the written instructions of the Heavenly Official." A middle-aged official Lang Lang replied.

"Since you don't use it usually, you can sell it, so that you don't have to send someone to keep it."

"No, Your Majesty, these are national treasures."

"National treasure? Can it be used as food or clothing? What the country lacks now is money and food!" Yao Guang was a little impatient.

"If your majesty wants to sell the utensils in your bedroom, I dare not ask, but all the subordinates in the winter utensil store are under the jurisdiction, and I think it is not allowed to sell, let alone sell."

"Oh?" Yao Guang raised his eyebrows, "So I still need your approval to sell my things?"

"Exactly." I didn't want that person to affirm it categorically, without giving Yao Guang any face at all.

Yao Guang's face turned cold, and he slapped the Shui Yu knife, "What a crazy tone! Kneel down!"

"Convicted?"

"I don't know."

Yao Guang stretched out his hand and pressed heavily on the top of the man's head, pressing down hard: "Can't you even know Fu Li?"

The man stiffened his neck, his face flushed red from the extreme exertion, and he refused to calm down.

Yao Guang said coldly: "You are not small, dare to be so arrogant in front of the king."

A group of small officials around were startled when they heard the words. It was already well known that Yao Guang killed the minister angrily in the court hall.

"Are you still not guilty?" Yao Guang asked again.Everyone knew that this was Yaoguang's last chance for him, and they were giving him and herself a step down, so they kept winking at him, for fear of harming Chi Yu.

"I'm just a small official, and I confessed my crime by speaking arrogantly in front of the king," he said with a heartbroken heart, "but it's still the same old saying, don't sell it, don't sell it! Dong Qi can kill immortals and be scattered easily Going out will inevitably cause chaos, Your Majesty wants your ministers to take care of the safety of the country because of the lack of a few small coins, even if your Majesty kills your ministers, your ministers will definitely not obey!"

"Hmph! What's your name for someone who is not afraid of death?"

"Jiaxi."

Yao Guang didn't speak any more, turned around and left, leaving everyone standing or kneeling, fearing that someone would come to announce the decree in the next moment, and disaster would be imminent.

Several guards were scattered in the corridor, and the leader was the big man who Yao Guang ordered him to kill the Heavenly Official not long ago, and Yao Guang waved to him.

"Is there anyone you want to kill, Your Majesty?"

"How can there be so many people to kill?" Yao Guang laughed and said, "I'm lost, you lead the way back to the imperial study."

Hearing this, the big man seemed to have received some huge task, and happily ran ahead all the way, but when he turned around and saw that Yao Guang hadn't followed, he hurriedly stopped in embarrassment.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Boy Huben, the inner court guard has been doing this job for seven, eight, or 90 years."

"Oh, it's not called Hu Xiao", Yao Guang thought, and it was different from Ono's animation.

"Your Majesty knows my brother?" Huben's eyes lit up.

"Hu Xiao is your brother?" Yao Guang thought it was a little funny, it turned out that there really are such people in reality.

"Of course! Who doesn't know my brother? His strength can split a tiger. Back then, he was a servant of the official and the guard of the forbidden palace. He was very famous!" Huben said with admiration on his face, and after he finished speaking, he was somewhat resentful, "He is much stronger than me. "

"Hu Ben is not bad either. He moves the knife with his hand and drops it very neatly!"

"That's him stretching his neck to seek death. It's so satisfying! I'm really—a very stupid person, but my brother is very shrewd!"

"Where is Tiger Xiao now?"

"After the death of the first emperor, he said, 'The man is here to help the world and save the people. What kind of bird is he living in the cold palace where the king is nowhere to be seen?' Then he disappeared. The palace was in chaos all these years, and he never came back. I don't know how it is now." Huben sighed, "Your Majesty will blame him for not being loyal to his duties."

"How come? Brother Ling is a true chivalrous man!" Yao Guang sighed, it's a pity that such a talent can't be used for himself.In a blink of an eye, seeing Hu Ben's look of Yu Yourong, he suddenly had an idea.

"Hu Ben admires his brother very much, doesn't he? Would you like to give it a try?"

"Ah?" Huben was taken aback for a moment, he understood a little, but couldn't believe it.

Yao Guang clearly announced: "Hu Ben, I now formally appoint you as the servant of Jinbo Palace, in charge of the defense of the palace."

Huben was stunned for a moment, then knelt down, gave a deep salute, his face was no longer loose as usual, "Your Majesty thinks highly of Huben so much, Huben will definitely show His Majesty something!"

"The lord appointed Huben as a great servant?" Jing Qi asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Hu Ben is not very cautious, it seems that he is not good enough to take on such a heavy responsibility."

"Hu Ben is upright and enthusiastic, these are enough to make up for his lack of character. I believe that as long as he is given a chance, he will be able to make a difference." Yao Guang waved his hand, indicating that there will be no further discussion on this issue, "Jiaxi of Dongqi Mansion, you Do you know?"

"I've seen him, he is a meticulous person." Jing Qi said.

"Even Jingqi is optimistic about someone, so you can't go wrong. I have already tested this person. Let's draw up an order. From now on, Jiaxi will be the head of heaven, and work together with Huben to rectify Jinbo Palace."

Yao Guang said so, no more to say.Since that day, except for business affairs, I have never had any contact with Jing Qi again. The distance between the two of them who had been trying to get closer is now like a trench, which is getting wider and wider, and Yao Guang has not shown any action to repair the relationship.

"In troubled times, I don't have those leisurely minds." ' Yaoguang said to herself, but maybe it just meant that she didn't want to fix it.

Yu Ye seemed particularly happy, "Your Majesty has finally appointed a heavenly official and a servant, and it's Lord Jiaxi, so the slaves are finally relieved."

"Oh? Yuye also knows about Jiaxi?"

"Your Excellency Jiaxi served as Taizai during the time of the first emperor. He is upright and a famous official with great prestige."

Yaoguang heard that Yuye also mentioned the first emperor, so he couldn't help paying attention.She realized that neither Yuye nor Huben directly called the former emperor by his posthumous title like they did to King Yu.

"Since he is a famous minister, why is he now a minor official in Dongqi Mansion?" Yao Guang asked.

"Ah," Yu Ye was startled, as if she was afraid of something, and even shivered, "Your Majesty, forgive me, but my slaves are ignorant and dare not interfere in politics."

"The speaker is innocent, you say, I want to hear you talk about the past."

"It seems to say that the talents are not worthy, and the slaves don't know about the affairs of the court if they resigned by themselves." Yu Ye said anxiously.

Yu Ye was obviously hiding something, and Yao Guang was about to ask again, when Officer Chun came to see him, so he didn't continue.I'm just curious why an old palace man like Yu Ye who has seen all his age would show a look of fear, while a warrior like Huben also reserved his words, as if matters about this former emperor were a taboo in the palace.But Yao Guang has neither the time nor the interest to research the anecdotes of the previous dynasty a hundred years ago.

5.

Yao Guang was forced to wake up by a chill, pushed open the window, and the outside was silvery white.

"Snow?" Yao Guangxiang was dreaming, "I can actually see snow in Jinbo Palace!"

"Why not?" Seeing that Yao Guang had got up, Yu Ye opened the door and came in, "It will snow in winter."

Yao Guang rushed out of the room, stepping on the snow with bare feet, not feeling cold, looking back, he saw a string of footprints on the snow.Yao Guang couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Yu Ye chased out with a long cloak in her arms, "Your Majesty should at least wear some clothes, that's not enough, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

"Don't! Don't come here! You will trample on the snow." Yao Guang shouted hastily.

How nice it would be to keep it forever!

Yu Ye still came over, wrapped Yao Guang's cold body with a thick cloak, "Your Majesty is like a child now."

"Isn't it good to be like a child?" Yao Guang asked mischievously, but found that besides his own and Yu Ye's footprints, there were footprints of all sizes not far away, more and more.The beauty of my own wishful thinking has long been destroyed, or it was not perfect in the first place, and I felt dull for a while.

"It's not good to be like a child after all!"

Dreams are too easily broken.

After the early court, Yao Guang came out from the main hall, and Huben was waiting outside, standing like an iron tower.After several months of rectification, Jinbo Palace has taken on a new look, and Yao Guang can't help being proud that he has chosen the right person.But at this moment, her mind was still on the court, and she only nodded to Huben.There are reports from all the prefectures that the appearance of monsters in various places has become less ferocious recently. The Spring Palace is already preparing for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven at the end of the year. It is believed that after the ceremony, the monsters that have been rampant for many years will start to lurk.Then, it's time for me to start another thing. If I don't do this, it's like a tiger and a wolf.

A gust of wind blew up, rolled up the snowflakes on the ground, and sent bursts of dark fragrance in the coolness, Yao Guang had walked into a plum forest without knowing it.The source of the faint fragrance is the plum blossoms in full bloom, each branch facing the wind with a smile, showing all its enchantment.Yao Guang was suddenly moved, "Hu Ben, please come and admire the plum blossoms!"

Yao Guang didn't know when Jing Qi came, but when he suddenly looked back, he was already there, as if he still thought the world was not clean enough, he was wearing a snow-white robe inlaid with gold, his tall and tall figure was reflected in the snow, and he was even more beautiful. Show handsome and out of dust.The surroundings were quiet, and the snow covered up all the chaos and noise in the world.

"It would be great if there was a gust of wind." Yao Guang looked at the garden full of wintersweet.

"Huh?" Jing Qi was puzzled.

"The ancients in Penglai wrote many poems praising Meixue, but I love Han Yu's "Spring Snow"--"Baixue thinks it's late in spring, Gu wears the trees in the garden as flying flowers", pieces of beauty flow in the air, like falling A fragrant rain. Every time I read it, I am moved." Yao Guang leaned against a tree trunk, closed his eyes, and smiled faintly on his plain face.

Jing Qi felt that Yao Guang was a little girlish at this time, and was used to seeing her majesty in front of courtiers, so she would naturally think that it was her whole self.Everyone in the palace respected and feared her, "Although your Majesty is not as beautiful as Wang Yu, the noble Wang Qi is absolutely inferior to Wang Yu!" ’ But Jing Qi knew that she didn’t become proud because she became a king, that arrogance was in her bones, self-esteem, tenacity, and refusal to admit defeat.The current Yaoguang is not what he is familiar with, the pride has been suppressed, and the rest is almost weak.

"The university I studied in the past has a cherry garden. When the season comes, the trees are full of cherry blossoms. When the wind blows, the petals sprinkle all over the body. It seems that it is not the flowers that dance, but itself." Yao Guang danced around the tree, lightly He patted the trunk and looked up, "But the most beautiful flower on the top of the tree can't fall down, so I climbed on the tree and shook it vigorously."

Jing Qi laughed, "Did the Master let it fall?"

"Of course not," Yao Guang chuckled, "because my leg was broken."

"It was he who ran all the way to the hospital with me on his back, and said to me: 'Cry if you are in pain, you cry, you cry, no one will laugh at you.' But I just refused. He broke the flower and brought it to me. , Blowing at me with an electric fan, the petals flew all over my face. I collected them carefully, only to find that tears were sprinkled on them. The reason for love is very simple! In fact, he is not handsome at all, and his mind is also ordinary, but he has a tendency to explore nature The energy from him can easily burn people. At that time, he was really young and crazy, and he fell in love with wearing the clothes he wore, sitting in the chair with his body heat, and smoking his remaining cigarette butts..."

"It would be fine if he loved me less, and it would be fine if I didn't love him that much. Love, in the end, is just a silent hurt. I'm afraid that he is such an innocent person, but I can't give him an innocent youth. So I thought next time I will meet someone who won’t love deeply. But love is actually such a basin of water, once it is spilled, it can’t be taken back, but the basin is empty. Human love is only once in a lifetime.”

Yao Guang turned around, "Jing Qi, you are my unicorn, but--I will never give you a name."

She walked away on the snow, leaving shallow footprints on the snow, from shallow to deep.

Jing Qi looked at the plum blossoms all over the garden, it was so beautiful, so quiet, so proud, and he didn't ask others for favor.He thought he had been liberated, but his mind was as blank as snow. He raised his hand and waved lightly, and the wind blew up instantly, sending flowers flying all over the world.

6.

"The end-of-the-year ceremony is just as usual, and the Spring Official just has to do it, and there is no need to ask for instructions one by one." Yao Guang sat on the jade seat, preventing the Spring Official from reporting for half an hour, "I just want to know whether the ceremony is Does it really have a deterrent effect on demons?"

"After the first grand ceremony of the new monarchs' ascension in all dynasties, the evil spirit will be suppressed. The wiser the king, the faster the evil spirit can be contained. With your majesty's virtue, I dare to guarantee that it will not be long before the Qing Dynasty will be safe and peaceful. ."

"Since this is the case, the most important thing next year should be to resume production, and all decrees of the country and the state capitals should be based on this. Therefore, the first decree of the new year is to amnesty the world and eliminate the heinous crimes of prisoners in prisons Those who were released were all released and given to the land, so that they could return to the fields to work in agriculture."

"Isn't this law and order messed up?" All the ministers discussed.

"Not necessarily," Jing Qi interjected, "Most of the prisoners in prison today are desperate because of natural disasters and monsters losing their land. They were originally good citizens. Now that they are given a chance to rehabilitate and the country is gradually stabilizing, who doesn't cherish it?"

Yao Guang nodded, "Before opening the prison door, we must make it clear that if anyone commits a crime after leaving the prison, the old and new debts will be counted together, and the crime will be added. This matter between the autumn government and the local government must be completed before spring."

Then she paused for a while, took a deep breath, and spoke out the decision she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Second, [-]% of the existing forbidden troops will be reduced, and they will be returned to the fields."

"Huh?" The first edict has not been fully digested, and the second is even more earth-shattering.

"In case of civil strife, Your Majesty will have no soldiers to use." Chief Xia cast a sidelong glance at Jinggong, and immediately objected.

"I accept the mandate of heaven and implement benevolent government. Who dares to initiate civil strife? The country is so weak, who can initiate turmoil?" Yao Guang sneered.

"After disarmament, how to protect the people from the harm of demons?"

"The minister will not be able to guarantee the safety of the capital, and His Majesty will be in danger!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Several generals said in unison.There was an uproar in the Golden Palace.

Yao Guang had expected strong opposition early on, so he didn't panic: "Didn't Chief Chun just promise that the monsters will disappear soon, do you suspect that Chief Chun is talking nonsense?" Yao Guang snorted, The voice turned soft, "Everyone can rest assured that all local and state teachers will also be cut down at the same time. Therefore, this kind of worry is completely unnecessary. I know that you are all loyal to the emperor. I am afraid that I will make any mistakes. My safety is protected by famous people. , the capital state division is under Taifu's jurisdiction, and Taifu is fully responsible for handling it. Are you satisfied with this?"

Not waiting for anyone to raise objections, Yaoguang continued: "I have decided on this matter, it must be completed before the spring plowing, and I will personally supervise." Yaoguang stood up, "Retire!"

"Your Majesty's decision today is too important. Don't say Qing, there has never been such a precedent in all countries since ancient times. If any state is really disturbed, the Yingzhou division and the few Wang divisions alone may not be enough to resist." Jing Qi said worriedly .

"It's not the place that I'm afraid of. I have the kingship bestowed by the Emperor of Heaven. The place doesn't dare to make any big fuss. I really want to make trouble. It's been so many years before I succeeded to the throne. Why wait until now. There is an idiom in Penglai , called "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", which means to cultivate the people after the chaos. I know that it is not appropriate to promulgate radical laws at this time. The country needs to recuperate most now. I am afraid that there will be no ten or twenty years. I will not be able to breathe. So I hope that my To rule for a longer time, we must first let the people breathe, and then we can talk about the country's prosperity and people's strength." Yao Guang looked at Jing Qi, "Do you understand? I'm afraid of causing trouble. I want to let ambitious people have generals but no soldiers. !"

"I'm afraid he will jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Don't be afraid! There is Jiaxi in the palace watching him. What's more, without my order, the imperial army's deployment is treason. One, you let the Yingzhou Division be activated at any time. Didn’t I tell you that the Yingzhou Division is under your full responsibility? Not a single soldier will be reduced, and you will have to increase troops under various names, and find a way to get rid of the cut-off Forbidden Army The elite are recruited here. You pay attention to it, I just don't know it in front of the officials."

Yao Guang sighed, "It's best if nothing happens. Jing Gong is indeed a rare talent in governing the country. If you can help me with peace of mind, why worry in this world?"

"I believe that Jing Gong will sooner or later understand how important the Lord is to him."

"I hope so!"

"Jing Qi, I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance, sorry. I'm used to being arbitrary." Yao Guang said embarrassedly, "You must correct me more in the future."

"I think the Lord has done a good job. It's farther than I thought."

"Jing Qi can make people feel elated every time." Yao Guang laughed, "Jing Qi, after passing this test, you can do whatever you want!"

"Then how?" Jing Qi objected immediately.

"This is the king's order, you must not violate it!" Yao Guang said proudly, wagging his fingers, giggling
