Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

In October of the third year of Jingchun, the capital gradually turned cold in late autumn, and the words of being careful about the fire and candles echoed countless times in the capital.

Just when everyone thought that it would be an ordinary season again, a huge boulder from Dali Temple suddenly smashed into the seemingly calm lake in the capital.

On October [-]th in the third year of Jingchun, Ye Zihe, who was the sole agent of the government, held a court meeting. Qin Lida, the Minister of Dali Temple, officially disclosed the inside story of the sudden death of the prince and the late emperor in the court meeting. Queen Mother.

Qin Lida found a series of witnesses and material evidence in the court hall to publicize, including the palace lady who had been following the Empress Dowager Yuangui.

The palace maid next to Yuan Gui followed her the longest and had already become a nun, but she was always kept by Yuan Gui's side as the palace maid.

The grand maid had served Yuangui before Xie Anshuang was born, and after being brought to the court meeting, she began to explain in detail the dispute between Yuangui and Xie An's twin mother, which inevitably involved Xie Anshuang's real life experience.

Xie Anshuang was born at the time when the Northern Dynasty was defeated successively in the battle of Yufandong Kingdom. Almost everyone's attention was focused on the battle, and almost no one paid attention to the fact that two princes were born in the harem one after another.

No one noticed that in just half a month, the child born to Empress Yuangui died, and Xie Anshuang's biological mother also disappeared.

So when the battle finally got better, everyone only knew that Empress Yuangui gave birth to the fifth prince, Xie Anshuang, who was taken to live in Huguo Temple temporarily for various reasons, and was taken back to the palace when she was ten years old.

And until today, the grand maid revealed the truth in front of everyone, she told the grievances and disputes in the harem back then, and said that Xie Anshuang was not sent to the Huguo Temple at all, but was imprisoned in her own palace by Yuangui, living an ordinary life. An unimaginably miserable life.

He has been beaten and exposed to cold since he was three years old, and his daily food and clothing are not even comparable to the lowest servants, and he has to be fed poison from time to time.

The purpose of Yuan Gui's doing all this is to put him on the throne in the future and make him a puppet emperor, so that she can control the power step by step.

Then there was another incident that the princes and princes died suddenly one after another, and the body of the first emperor also plummeted.

At this point in the palace maid's narration, Ye Zihe also completely took off her treacherous minister's mask, indicating that Xie Anshuang himself was actually ignorant of the whole process of this matter.

It was too late when he accidentally discovered Yuan Gui's plan, so he secretly released the fourth concubine and the eldest son of the fourth prince on the night of burning down the fourth prince's mansion.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the discussion of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty. Ye Ziqin and Ye Ru also officially appeared in the public eye under the escort of the soldiers sent by Xing Xuyi at this time.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles in the court had seen the fourth prince's concubine Ye Ziqin, and they could clearly see the resemblance between Ye Ru and the fourth prince in appearance.

At this point, the farce-like court meeting came to an end. The Empress Dowager Yuangui was forced into prison by the soldiers led by Xing Xuyi, while Ye Ziqin and Ye Ru lived in the palace temporarily, waiting for Xie Anshuang to return to Beijing.

Considering that Yuangui's eyeliner is all over the place, Xing Xuyi also deployed personal soldiers around the palace and the capital to ensure the safety of everyone in the palace at any time, and to ensure that Xie Anshuang and Xing Wenshu can return to the capital smoothly.

The originally peaceful capital was suddenly pulled into the chill atmosphere of late autumn, and even the most dull people in the capital could clearly perceive——

The Northern Dynasty is about to change again.

—

On October [-]th of the third year of Jingchun, Xie Anshuang, who "visited privately on microservices", finally returned to the capital after half a year. On the morning of the same day, he held an early court, ordered the execution of the former queen mother, and detained all officials of the Yuangui forces pending trial.

At this point, a "Jingchun Great Cleansing" officially kicked off.

Xie Anshuang officially announced that the morning court would resume as normal from now on, and Ye Zihe also submitted his resignation at this time, relinquishing the position of prime minister to Xing Wenshu.

And for a long time afterwards, he would deal with a group of officials almost every day.

Almost all the officials did not expect that the fatuous emperor they thought could be so decisive, and then vigorously clean up the whole situation during the period of great turmoil in the case of the former empress dowager.

As a result, the entire court was shrouded in a chilling cloud, and most of them were frightened, fearing that they would be the next to lose their heads.

However, after several batches of executions, the court officials gradually discovered that all the officials disposed of by Xie Anshuang were officials with clear evidence of crimes, and most of the evidence came from Xie Anshuang and Ye Zihe who had deliberately preserved them over the past three years. .

In other words, for the past three years, Xie Anshuang and Ye Zihe were simply hiding their strengths and biding their time, using fatuousness and extravagance as an excuse to find out all the rotten corners of the court.

So soon, the officials also discovered that after Xie Anshuang disposed of a large number of officials, he immediately arranged for more suitable people to fill the vacant positions.

In just two months, the entire court could be said to have undergone a major change of personnel, but there was no sign of turmoil or disorder. Everyone performed their duties and maintained the orderly and stable operation of the capital and even the Northern Dynasty.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month in the third year of Jingchun, the end of the new year is approaching.

Yuan Xu's army, who had gone to the border to fight against the Fandong country before, had fought and won victoriously, and finally defeated the Fandong army in the territory of the Fandong country.

In addition, Yuan Xu also revealed the true face of the little Princess Lian Yuan who had "suicide" in front of the battle wearing a mask, and brought Fan Dongguo, who was placed on a high moral high ground, back to its original form, boosting the morale of the Northern Dynasties army and forcing them to dare not to fight again. Easily invade the Northern Dynasty.

The triumphant return of the army happened just as Xie Anshuang had almost cleaned up the remnants of the chaotic party in the court, so he held a celebration banquet on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to reward all the soldiers who had made military achievements.

The soldiers had just returned from their triumphant return, and it was the time when they were in high spirits, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was very high.

Xie Anshuang held on to his spirits and waited until the end. He didn't know how many glasses of wine he drank. He was dizzy, and finally left the banquet early when no one noticed.

The cold wind of the twelfth lunar month poured into the collar, barely blowing away most of the alcohol.

Xie An double-screened Fu Yuan, who was following him, and walked all the way to the back of the palace, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the palace, and quietly stood in front of a palace wall and looked up.

The moon in the night is only a crooked tooth, which is dimmed by countless twinkling stars.

Xie Anshuang looked at the crescent moon, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to the gardens in the suburbs of Beijing that were still under construction.

At the beginning, the Guan family's power plummeted because of the gardens in the suburbs of Beijing. After the supervisor, the senior son of the Guan family, was dismissed, the construction of the gardens in the suburbs of Beijing was temporarily put on hold.

And two months ago, he found a real suitable person to continue to build the garden, and announced that after the garden was completed, it would be shared by all the people of the Northern Dynasties.

There will be specially arranged martial arts training grounds, elegant pavilions and waterside pavilions in the garden, as well as other landscapes of various colors. Whether it is martial arts or Chongwen, or other ordinary people, they can find places in the garden where they can immerse themselves for a short time.

In fact, he made up his mind from the very beginning that the garden would eventually be open to all the common people.

It's just that according to his original plan, after the garden is completed, he will let the garden be abandoned on the grounds of losing interest, and will not send anyone on duty, so that after the people try to enter by themselves, they will gradually acquiesce that they can come in and out at will.

Unexpectedly, the trajectory has changed to what it is today, and the construction of this garden has become a project that he is praised by the people.

Xie Anshuang looked at the crescent moon and exhaled lightly.

"Why is Your Majesty watching the moon here alone?"

Suddenly a familiar warm voice came from behind, Xie Anshuang glanced back at him, and replied: "I was just thinking about something. Why did you come out?"

Xing Wenshu walked forward with the cloak in his hand, put it lightly in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't look very comfortable, how can I let my little Majesty blow the cold wind outside?"

Xie Anshuang took advantage of the opportunity to get closer to his arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are still talking about me, you are obviously in poor health, why don't you wear more clothes? What if you catch a cold?"

Xing Wenshu rubbed his head with a smile: "Why don't you hug me? Your Majesty is so warm, I won't be cold if you hug me."

"I'm so tired." Xie Anshuang cursed with a smile, but turned around honestly and hugged him gently.

Since returning to the capital, both of them have been busy with government affairs. Even though Xing Wenshu still lives in the palace as a personal bodyguard and sleeps together at night, their busy affairs make them careless about other love affairs.

Every day, I get up before dawn to prepare for the morning court. After the morning court is over, I go to the imperial study to review memorials or meet officials, or to deal with the chaotic party in the court.

Finally, at night, both of them were so tired that they basically slept as soon as they touched the bed, and they didn't have any other thoughts left.

Over the past two months, they have known each other's fatigue better than anyone else.

Xing Wenshu hugged him back and rubbed his head distressedly: "Your Majesty has worked hard."

As an emperor, he had a very bad reputation, and now he has made many enemies because of cleaning the court. During this time, Xie Anshuang had to bear not only physical and mental work, but also great mental pressure.

At all times, he must be on guard against possible assassinations from all directions, as well as doubts from court officials.

He is under far more pressure than anyone else.

Xie Anshuang buried himself in Xing Wenshu's arms, absorbed the light and familiar smell and temperature of his body, barely made his dizzy state better, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, you are with me."

Xing Wenshu chuckled and hugged him tighter, as if silently promising something.

The two hugged each other for a long time under the moonlight, and then Xie Anshuang reluctantly let go of Xing Wenshu, and pulled him to sit on the side steps together, watching the starry sky tonight.

The crescent moon is still surrounded by stars, softly exuding a bit of bright light, but covered by twinkling stars most of the brilliance.

Xie Anshuang held Xing Wenshu's hand, and suddenly said as if reminiscing: "Ah Shen, do you still remember the last sentence I said in my previous life?"

Xing Wenshu nodded: "Remember, Your Majesty told me not to call you Your Majesty anymore, this world never belonged to you."

"Yeah." Xie Anshuang smiled, and moved closer to him, "Actually, I still feel that this world should never belong to me."

Xing Wenshu felt the warmth of approaching him, and leaned towards him, without saying anything, quietly waiting for him to continue.

Xie Anshuang did not pause for long, and raised his hand towards the direction of the sky: "In fact, the world and the mountains and rivers have never been owned by one person, but are guarded by thousands of literati advisers, warriors, and countless common people."

"So I want to build them a garden that can carry their aspirations and visions."

The pure white moonlight penetrated the towering palace walls, casting a large amount of silver on Xie Anshuang's body, reflecting the light smile on his face.

He never really thought about becoming an emperor, so he didn't have any grand dreams of being an emperor.

He only hopes that he can do his best to let more talented people have a place to display, so that more ambitious people can realize their wishes, and let more people have a place where they can place their feelings and seek comfort.

This is also his original intention of building gardens in the suburbs of Beijing.

Maybe he was too idealistic, or maybe it was just his wishful thinking.

But at least he has paid and worked hard for it.

And at this moment, his outstretched hand was softly covered by a slightly cool palm, and the slender knuckles were gently inserted from the back of his hand, interlocking his fingers firmly.

"Then I will build a safe haven for His Majesty that will always be behind His Majesty."

Xing Wenshu leaned his head against his head, with the same smile on his face: "Your Majesty protects the vision of the world, and I protect my unique little Majesty."

Xie Anshuang looked at their overlapping hands, and gently held him back: "Say what you say."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

A tacit answer fell, and the two looked at each other sideways, smiling brightly in the frosty moonlight.

They know that the road they have chosen will be long and difficult, but as long as they are together, there is nothing to be afraid of.

No matter what kind of twists and turns, the future——

It is wonderful to have you here.
