Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi left in chariots when they returned to the palace.

As soon as he went up to put down the curtain, Si Yuanting pulled Chu Yuezhi into his arms, hooked his chin and said, "If you can have children, how many children do you plan to have with me?"

"If you want to spread your branches and leaves, you have to have more babies than your father, how about eight?" No one saw in the car, Chu Yuezhi lay in Si Yuanting's arms, and joked: "It takes only one child a year." In eight years, if you can have twins, you can hurry up."

He was still wearing battle armor, but he no longer had the royal power in front of outsiders. Si Yuanting looked at Chu Yuezhi's gentle appearance in front of him, and said, "Will you regret it? You will never be able to have your own children in this lifetime."

Chu Yuezhi snorted, and said, "It's as if I could have had it originally. I was born with the habit of cutting off my sleeves, and I knew that I would not have offspring. If I really want to regret it, it's just a regret that I can't have it with you." child."

Si Yuanting put his hands on Chu Yuezhi's waist, narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Even if you can give birth, I won't let you have so many. It's hard for me to keep calm when I see Zhuxi giving birth. I can't imagine what would happen if it were you and me, I'm afraid I won't like the child when it's born."

"Chu Qi originally thought that Si Jiu would be the best loving father in the world." Chu Yuezhi thought that the battle armor was too heavy, and he leaned against Si Yuanting's arms together with the armor. Uncomfortable, after speaking, he wanted to get up from Si Yuanting's arms, but he didn't want Si Yuanting to hold him and refused to let go.

Staring at the cheerful face of Chu Yuezhi chatting and laughing with him, he couldn't see at all that not long ago they entered the palace together to usurp the throne and carry out swords to kill people. Si Yuanting was silent for a moment, and said: "Chu Qi, from now on you will be the emperor. The time is always between the monarch and his ministers."

"Why, I just worshiped heaven and earth a few hours ago, and now I want to regret it?" Chu Yuezhi's eyes turned slightly cold when he heard this, and said: "In my case, the husband and wife are the first, and then the monarch and ministers."

Si Yuanting lowered his head and sucked Chu Yuezhi's lips, hugged him tightly and said, "I'm just thinking that in the future, we may have quarrels on the issue of governing the country. In front of everyone, you are the king and I am the minister. I will respect you and do my best to be loyal to you for the people and the country; but in private, I will only regard you as my Chu Qi. The throne you have ascended to is the loneliest position in the world. I don't want you to be so lonely alone, I will accompany you, and I will love and spoil you more and more year after year, so that you will always have a world of relaxation."

Chu Yuezhi originally thought that Si Yuanting would tell him a lot about the ways of a monarch and his ministers, or the bearing and manners that an emperor should have, but he didn't expect Si Yuanting to say such words to him, his peach blossom eyes sparkled Shui Guang stared at Si Yuanting in a daze, but couldn't tell why.

Si Yuanting pursed his lips lightly, and grabbed Chu Yuezhi with his powerful arms, changing from a not-so-comfortable half-prone posture to a cuddling state completely fallen into his arms, saying: "I have done the treasonous thing. There are many, do you still care about one or two more? We have lost nearly half of our lives, from now on, I just want to give you what you want."

Chu Yuezhi grabbed Si Yuanting's hand, and curled his fingertips across the back of Si Yuanting's hand. He lowered his head and said, "I didn't want this throne at all, but in the end I wanted to grab it myself. Nine, you told me not to be afraid, but I am still afraid, afraid that I will not manage the Daheng Kingdom well, and will make the people suffer. Although Chu Yuelei is dead, the New Deal will not be implemented until next year at the earliest. There are a lot of preparations to be made, and reforms will not happen overnight, not to mention that there have been reforms in this history, but they all failed, and I am afraid that I will become one of those kings who have the intention but are powerless."

"Reform, if it is bottom-up, will cost many lives; but if it is top-down, although there are drawbacks, it will not be so thorough. Ruo Ruizhi will start from you, and break the old system from top to bottom. The cage of power does not necessarily mean that it cannot be successful. The road of reform is difficult. Since I took power in my hands, it took more than ten years to make Daheng Kingdom better. I understand your worries and unease, Chu Qi, I don’t care Whether I can return to court, no matter at any time and in any capacity, I will do my best to assist you and support you to do all the right things behind you." How could Si Yuanting not understand Chu Yuezhi?Just because he understood, he knew that he had to accompany Chu Yuezhi to the end. He was the one who pushed Chu Yuezhi to the throne, and he was already Chu Yuezhi's husband. No matter what happened, he could not leave Chu Yuezhi behind. Yue Zhi was alone.

"I know you have worked hard for many years, but for the sake of the people, Daheng Country, and me, please work harder." Chu Yuezhi said, if possible, he also wanted to make Si Yuanting able to spend the rest of his life. Life is more comfortable than in the past few years, as long as Si Yuanting is willing to live, he is also willing to let Si Yuanting stay away from the court and return to the mountains and forests to live an ordinary life.

But now it can't.

Si Yuanting would not let him be the emperor alone, let alone leave him alone in the palace.

"It's the same for you. During those years in the frontier, you gave everything for the people and the Daheng Kingdom, and faced the threat of death day and night." Si Yuanting has gradually put down the past and tried to let go of it bit by bit. I even occasionally think that even though they have not been together in the past 21 years, they have been fighting for the same ideal, and the direction they have chosen is always the same, "You brought me back to the world, the rest of my life I am willing to share the ups and downs with you."

The two snuggled together quietly, and neither of them spoke anymore. Too much happened in the past night. Chu Yuezhi's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes. A new journey has begun. The time they can get along peacefully In the future, I am afraid that there will be fewer and fewer.

After the chariot entered the palace, the Qianqing Palace could not be occupied for a short time, so Chu Yuezhi ordered to go to the Xiefang Palace, where he changed his battle armor, and Chu Yuezhi changed into the collar and narrow sleeves worn by the king. They were all regular uniforms embroidered with a golden dragon pattern, and Si Yuanting also changed back to his usual bullfighting official uniform.

After a few years, they once again washed and dressed together in the Palace of Harvesting Fang, as if they had never left, but they could clearly see the vicissitudes of life in each other's eyes. The long wasted time ended yesterday, and now is the dawn they have fought for after going through hardships and bruises. .

After changing attire, Chu Yuezhi came out of the hall and saw Long Nian frowned slightly, and said to the eunuch who was carrying the Dragon Nian with a flick of his hand, "No need, I will go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with Si Gong... .”

Si Yuanting was beside Chu Yuezhi, knowing that Chu Yuezhi was not used to this kind of transportation, so he didn't say anything, but let the eunuchs retreat, and after walking with Chu Yuezhi for a while, he said to him: " Always adapt."

"I know." Chu Yuezhi didn't like the flashy guard of honor in the palace. Since he was a child, he didn't have many people around him. After having Si Yuanting as his attendant, he hardly brought any The accompanying palace people, not to mention that it has only been half a day since the change from the palace, and the palace has not been cleaned up yet, so he is really unhappy to come to the new emperor to stand up at this time.

When they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers were already waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Many ministers' expressions changed slightly when they saw Si Yuanting entering the hall following Chu Yuezhi.

The eunuchs of the two dynasties, when the former prince of the East Palace launched a palace coup, it was rumored that the knife used by the former prince of the East Palace to kill the old emperor was handed by this company. Now, with this sudden palace coup, this company once again stood on the side of the new emperor. After the death, after the will was read out, he was the first to bow down and bow, which can be said to have betrayed the Lord twice.

How can such a courtier stay?

"Your Majesty!" An old official immediately knelt down and said to Chu Yuezhi: "This eunuch has betrayed the Lord twice as an eunuch of two dynasties, so he must not stay any longer!"

"Treason?" Chu Yuezhi had just sat down when he heard the expected remonstrance, and asked, "Is it possible that the governor initiated this palace change? Is there any evidence? If it wasn't initiated by the governor Gongchang, how can you talk about rebelling against the Lord?"

"This..." The old minister was choked by Chu Yuezhi when he came up, and then he said after a pause: "Your Majesty, although the Daheng Kingdom does not have a prime minister, but the company has used votes to approve the power for many years. Control the power of the prime minister. The imperial court rules and regulations, and we, the virtuous officials, no matter whether we advance or retreat, are all reversed by him. A mere palace slave actually holds the power of prime minister. If things go on like this, how can the Daheng Kingdom not decline!"

"This sounds like saying that my father and brother are incompetent and fooled and manipulated by eunuchs." Chu Yuezhi looked at the old official, but he recognized him as the deputy Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu. Mainly responsible for compiling the history of books.

The old minister was shocked immediately, and hastily kowtowed: "The old minister made a mistake, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Xia Zhiyi also came forward at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial edict, if the company has not participated in the palace change, then I implore your majesty to announce who the person who initiated the palace change is."

"This time, the Cangyuan Army, the Helu Camp, and the guards of Dongchang entered the palace to rescue the king. After suppressing the palace uprising, several dark soldiers and Jinyi guards were taken down. They have been escorted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation. The person behind this palace change is Concubine Zheng." Chu Yuezhi said, his scrutinizing eyes swept over the faces of all the ministers present, and finally settled on Zheng Yuhua, the envoy, "If I remember correctly , Concubine Zheng is the daughter of Zheng Tongzheng's envoy, I thought Concubine Zheng alone would never have the courage to launch a palace coup."

Zheng Yuhua never expected that the accusation of the palace change would suddenly fall on his head, and he knelt down as soon as his knees softened, kowtowing heavily and shouting: "Old minister, you are wronged!"

"Every prisoner says they are wronged, but are they really wronged?" Chu Yuezhi looked at Zheng Yuhua coldly, and said: "The duty of the General Secretary is to submit, seal and refute internal and external memorials and introductions. The ministers of the subjects, etc., are also in charge of the Dengwen Drum Hall, where any wronged people beat the drums and interrogate. Zheng Tongzheng, you have been promoted all the way since Concubine Zheng married into the palace, but in the past few years you have not only accepted bribes Besides, have you ever devoted yourself to pleading for the people?"

Zheng Yuhua lay prostrate on the ground, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Although he was not an upright official, he never had the guts to launch a palace change. However, what Chu Yuezhi said was clearly for him to memorize the palace change. Heinous charges.
