"The emperor decreed that the prime minister's office should be dismissed, and that Prince Su Shuize, Prince Zhongshun Shuizi, academician Liu Zhongxun, and Minister of the Household Department Huang Ting should assist all the officials in charge of the current administration and assist them in handling government affairs."

The voice from the jade seat was flat, but each word was sharper than a knife.The emperor's reaction was much faster than expected. The prime minister's office under the emperor's direct jurisdiction was abolished, and the general affairs of the world were returned to the cabinet, which seemed to be under the emperor's control.

After a moment of silence, the emperor glanced at the young man below the steps, his gaze was indifferent and displeased: "Is the emperor unwilling?"

Emperor Yongqing's heart sank, and he immediately bowed his head and replied: "I dare not, my father's teachings must be kept in mind."

The expressions of the people on the seat moved slightly, their eyes condensed a trace of invisible oppression, and said in a lukewarm way: "Prince Su and Zhongshun needless to say, Liu Zhongxun and Huang Ting are both old ministers who were single-handedly promoted, and their loyalty can be guaranteed. ” Paused for a while, and there was a deep sense of weariness in the words: “You may not feel angry now, but you will naturally understand the benefits after a long time.”

Emperor Yongqing kept his head down and couldn't see the expression on his face. He replied respectfully: "Father is very thoughtful. The sons and ministers are dull. If there is no father's cultivation and control, today's establishment will never be possible."

The brows were slightly relaxed, and the emperor's face softened a little, showing two points of satisfaction: "If the emperor can understand, it will not be in vain to waste all my painstaking efforts."

When Emperor Yongqing walked out of the palace gate, his complexion was more ugly than ever. At this moment, the Daming Palace was shrouded in the golden light of the setting sun, and the glazed tiles on the cornices were dyed brilliant red like blood.

Seeing that there was no one coming and going, the elderly personal supervisor watched the words and expressions, and replied knowingly: "Your Majesty, please be safe and don't be impatient. Prince Lian is already waiting in the Mingde Hall."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongqing immediately felt refreshed, and rushed to Mingde Hall in three or two steps.Sure enough, Shuilan was sitting drinking tea, the lump in her chest seemed to have subsided, she hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "Seeing Uncle Huang is like being amnesty."

Shui Lan bowed and saluted at the same time, a smile appeared on her handsome face: "Your Majesty just came from Dekang Palace?"

Emperor Yongqing gave the inner supervisor a wink, and the latter closed the door of the inner room knowingly, and said in a low voice, "Abolish the Prime Minister's Office and replace it with the Fourth Assistant Minister."

Shui Lan was speechless for a long time, her slender fingers unconsciously tapped on the red sandalwood table, making a dull sound, the whole room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Emperor Yongqing kept looking at him, and heard after a while: "It is not necessary for the four ministers to assist the government, but your majesty might as well succeed the emperor directly, and add two more people."

As she said that, she saw her fingertips dipped in tea wrote two unexpected words on the luminous countertop, one was east and the other was west.

Emperor Yongqing raised his head and stared at him piercingly, his eyes were full of bewilderment: "How could the emperor agree to these two people?"

Shui Lan smiled slightly, wrote two more words, and asked again: "What if it's these two?"

Emperor Yongguang thought about it carefully, his eyes lit up little by little, and he nodded incessantly: "It turns out that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong, and the emperor's uncle is good at strategy." After thinking for a while, pointing to the word Meng, he asked: "However? Why do you want to add this person?"

Shui Lan blinked suddenly, with a mysterious smile: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for two years, and the Central Palace still has no owner, right? It's time for the Kunning Palace to welcome a new master."

Emperor Yongguang slapped his hands suddenly when he said this, and he was overjoyed: "Yes. He is so good at showing off his talents. He is greedy and has no chance to touch his hands on weekdays. Even if the emperor hesitates, someone will go around for us."

It was getting late, Emperor Yongqing asked him to have a meal before going, Shui Lan smiled back: "You and I should avoid it, it is only good for His Majesty. What's more, I promised to go home for dinner, and I am afraid that Madam will blame me for being late."

Emperor Yongqing was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, jokingly said: "My nephew has forgotten that the uncle's family has a beautiful wife, and if he is not careful, he will make the female powerful. I am afraid that the uncle will be alone and sleepless tonight."

Shui Lan smiled and didn't refute, so he left without saying goodbye, and Emperor Yongqing sent him to the gate of the palace, and only came back after watching the people walk away.

After walking for half a day in a carriage out of Zhuquemen, Shui Lan suddenly ordered the car to be parked in the backyard, dismissed all the followers, and smiled at Kong Kong: "The hero has followed all the way, why not show up for a while?" See?"

Before he could say a word, there seemed to be the sound of wind blowing through the bushes, and a figure had already appeared by the courtyard gate.

Shui Lan raised his eyes and looked over, this time his face was completely changed, only his eyes were still bright, he couldn't help but sneered in astonishment: "It's been more than a month since we left Gusu, Brother Li can still remember it, it's a great honor to."

The man stared at him for a long time before his dry lips moved: "I have asked, you are Prince Lian."

The wind in the evening whipped up the sleeves of his clothes, and there was still a trace of scorching heat. Shui Lan seemed to have expected it a long time ago, nodded and smiled: "It is Shui Lan. Dare I ask Mr. Li's name?"

The man lowered his eyelashes halfway, with an indescribable sarcasm on his face: "A person like me is not worthy of the surname Li."

Shui Lan suddenly didn't hear anything, and took over the conversation calmly: "Brother Li, why is he so strict with himself? There are nine out of ten people who are not satisfied in life. It's better to sit in the mansion for a while, and let's chat while drinking tea."

The man in front of Xu Shi was really handsome, and his words were too gentle, he hesitated for a while, but finally followed.

The waterside pavilion is facing the pool, the bamboo curtain is half rolled up, and a young servant brings a tea tray with pineapple and chrysanthemum patterns, and a pair of small pastel tea cups with fluted mouth on it. When you came to the capital, did you come here specifically to find Xiao Wang?"

"My lord, you are too polite. I, Li Gui, have different characters." Li Gui took the tea but didn't drink it. He stared at the rising mist in a daze, and spoke a little clumsily: "General Rongwei is my grandfather. After the incident, except for the grandfather and father who were beheaded, our whole family was dispatched to Ningguta and served as slaves to armored men, but most of them died on the way.”

Having said that, Li Gui clenched his teeth tightly, and it sounded like he was choking: "Some died of being flogged alive, some died of plague, and some women's family members committed suicide due to unbearable humiliation."

Shui Lan didn't say anything, but sighed.Ninggu Pagoda is frozen all the year round, and the exiles often end up miserable when they travel seven or eight thousand miles to Beijing in the extreme north of Liaodong, and even the locals share and eat them, which is very terrifying.

Li Gui took a sip of his tea and waited for a while before continuing, "I killed the guard at night, and escaped with my two uncles and brothers protecting my mother, and were wanted by the court. Both brothers were arrested. To avoid being hunted down, I learned the art of disguise from the people of the rivers and lakes, and fled to Gusu with my mother. Maybe my mother contracted hemoptysis after eating and sleeping for too long. I exchanged some decoction for a rich and heartless salt merchant, and almost got caught by mistake, but fortunately I met the prince."

As he said that, he bent down and wanted to bow down, Shui Lan hurriedly stopped him, and reprimanded lightly in his mouth: "A man has gold under his knees, it must not be like this! For Xiao Wang, it is just a matter of lifting a finger. Brother Li, what plans do you have in the future? With Lingci."

Li Gui's eyes became dull again, and he replied with a blank face: "Even though the prince helped me that day, my mother still couldn't make it through. The world is so big, but there is no place for her. The prince's question really captivated me."

Shui Lan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Li is sad. But since you have the ability to change your appearance, have you ever thought about enlisting in the army to make contributions, and one day you may be able to regain the glory of the past?"

His expression moved inadvertently, but Li Gui remained silent.

The author has something to say: My calf was scratched by Master Meow yesterday, probably knowing that I did something wrong, so I took the initiative to jump on my shoulder to show off my cuteness at night.I wanted to scold it at first, but it's really...so cute =blood=

In addition, some little angels reported that the seniority was unclear.
