I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

As a game planner who designed the background of this game world, how could he not know this?

If Li Mu is such a spy, if he spreads the conversation here today, let alone run away, he may not survive tonight, and he will be gone.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's heart trembled, and he became careless.

"Hey, he's just a bad old man. He watched me grow up. Where did he see His Majesty?"

"I'm an official of the Ministry of Commerce. I haven't seen His Majesty until now, so don't mention him."

"I probably heard it from my mother or an elder in the family, so let me blow it by the way."

I don't know if it was because he drank a few sips of wine, Zhao Yuehan was a little flustered.

"Brother Lin, what do you think of my face?"

"To be honest, if I wear women's clothes, I will definitely be more beautiful than Your Majesty, absolutely beautiful!"

"Even now, if His Majesty sees me, maybe he will still fall in love with a handsome man like me!"

Ah this.

Li Mu next to him was restless and couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Mu looked at Zhao Yuehan from time to time, winking, wanting to remind him to save him.

What is more worrying is whether he will be snapped off by His Majesty in a few days after hearing such words.

"What? You don't believe it?!"

"Don't worry, I won't get drunk with such a little wine!"

Zhao Yuehan's expression became a little serious, and he gave old servant Li Mu a sideways look.

"My lord, you are right."

Li Mu didn't dare to argue, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

It would be too difficult to follow to eat some fish.

Here, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that Zhao Yuehan was disguised as a man, but if he dared to say that he wanted to marry the Empress, the old servant would not dare to talk back, and would go along with it. From this point of view, the old servant Li Mu could never be a spy.

The old servant Li Mu is worthy of trust.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, the fish should be eaten while it is hot, and the vegetables should be eaten first."

Lin Xuan took out the newly brewed sour fruit wine, which was sweet and sour, with low alcohol content and excellent taste.

Of course, this is also a life skill given by the system for signing in. The sour fruit wine brewed is at least top-grade, not to mention top-quality.

"Come try my new cranberry."

Sure enough, both Zhao Yuehan and Li Mu's eyes lit up when they saw the wine that Lin Xuanxin brought out.

After three rounds of drinking and the fresh fish feast, Lin Xuan made a cup of high-quality black tea for the two of them.

Seeing that Zhao Yuehan was extremely happy, Lin Xuan knew that the opportunity had come.

"Brother Zhao, is this fish delicious?"

“Great food!”

"How's the cranberry?"

"The best in the world!"

"Does this black tea taste good?"

"Light and elegant, extraordinary."

Zhao Yuehan commented one by one, and was very satisfied with today's reception.

"Okay, as long as Brother Zhao is satisfied!"

Lin Xuan brought over a box of pastries and put aside the fish in another box: "Take these back for the old lady to taste."

Zhao Yuehan was drinking black tea, blowing the willow breeze, glanced at the two food boxes, and smiled: "Brother Lin, do you need my help? If you have something to say, you may as well just say it. Although I don't have a high position in the Ministry of Commerce, but I have made friends with all ministries, there is nothing I can't do in Tiandu."

The old servant Li Mu who was sitting by the side glanced quietly at His Majesty, drank his tea slowly, not daring to move or speak.

Your Majesty, what you say is right, as long as His Majesty is happy.

As long as this little brother Lin Xuan doesn't try to kill him, that's fine.

After all, this whole job belongs to His Majesty, let alone a small favor, even hundreds of thousands, will help.

His Majesty was sincerely grateful for the sacrifice of 80 female soldiers of Shang Yu in the First World War, so he disguised himself and came to Yongle Lane frequently to visit these remnants of the former nobles.

As long as the request is not too much and the wish is not too much, His Majesty will arrange for someone to satisfy it quietly.

As for Lin Xuan who lives here, he met four months ago.

At that time, His Majesty visited the family and left, just passing by here, attracted by the smell of wine and vegetables in the yard, so he came in for a meal.

There is no way, the food cooked by Lin Xuan is really delicious, many times better than the imperial chef in the palace.

Even if His Majesty asked the imperial chef to try many times, he failed even once.

Just like that, rub it, get used to it.

As for Lin Xuan's origin, they had already investigated it thoroughly.

Lin Xuan, the great-great-great-grandson of Si Cheng of the former Tang Dynasty, was somewhat related to the royal relatives of the former dynasty. Like other nobles of the former dynasty, he has been under house arrest in Yongle Lane.

During the Battle of Shang Yu, some elders of the Lin family also died fighting for the Empress, but he himself did not know it.

According to the original plan, His Majesty intended to let Lin Xuan go to the palace to be the imperial cook.

However, during several conversations after meals, I found that Lin Xuan had amazing insights and ideas almost every time, and he didn't know the real identity of His Majesty, so he had always been open and frank.

This is much better than other old remnants of the former dynasty who guessed His Majesty's identity at a glance and then pretended to be flattering.

There is no doubt that such a talent is too wasteful to be an imperial chef.

Therefore, His Majesty decided to continue eating.

It's just that His Majesty still feels a little bit sorry for eating too much.

Therefore, before coming this time, His Majesty discussed with him to see what Lin Xuan wanted, and rewarded him directly if it was not too much.

Of course, I hope this kid doesn't use his words to die like he did just now.

Here, Lin Xuan was not at all embarrassed when his intentions were seen through.

Zhao Yuehan's willingness to help is enough.

Lin Xuan straightened his clothes, looked serious, and said, "To be honest, I do have an important matter to ask Brother Zhao for help!"

"Brother Zhao, run away with me!"

"..."

Chapter 3 Don't Say It Out

run away?

Get sick!

What is the best way to run?

And you want to run with His Majesty?

The old servant Li Mu almost spit out all the tea he just drank.

I just thought that Lin Xuan should not play dead, just give him a chance to play dead?

Zhao Yuehan looked at Lin Xuan with a serious face, and wondered if Lin Xuan had taken the wrong medicine.

You must know that the remnants of the previous dynasty who were imprisoned in this Yongle Lane were not allowed to leave Tiandu without the emperor's amnesty.

If you leave Tiandu without an amnesty, you will be killed if you are found, and your relatives will also be implicated together.

There have been incidents in which the remnants of the nobles of the previous dynasty and the nobles of the sixteen countries fled for their sins, and the result was undoubtedly a massacre of heads.

Especially in this Yongle Lane, from Emperor Qian Gaozu to Emperor Qian Taizong and Emperor Qianguang, the nobles of the sixteen countries in Yongle Lane were basically killed.

As for the remnants of the aristocrats of the former Tang Dynasty, not many were killed, but there were definitely a lot of people who died.

Lin Xuan said it so bluntly, did he want to court death?

What's more, since she came to the throne, she will not kill the nobles of the sixteen countries indiscriminately like her father Qian Taizong, and she will not kill a river of blood just three months after she took the throne like her elder brother Qian Guangdi.

On the one hand, this is to commemorate the sacrifice of the 80 female soldiers, and on the other hand, all the former nobles in Yongle Lane who can cause trouble have been killed.

From the 26th year of working hard to the 28th year of working hard now, she has made many decrees to improve the living standards of these remnants of the former nobles.

You have no worries about food and clothing like this, and you still want to risk your life to escape?

Could it be that her father, her brother, really didn't kill all those who wanted to make trouble in the remnants of the previous dynasty?

Although it has been 28 years since Dagan replaced Datang and swept the Sixteen Kingdoms, and these aristocratic remnants have been killed one crop after another, it is hard to guarantee that there will be a small number of remnants who escaped, and are still secretly planning to restore Datang plan.

In a sense, it is really possible for Lin Xuan, who has a little relationship with the imperial family from the previous dynasty.

Or, someone in Lin Xuan's family participated in some kind of conspiracy, for fear of something happening?

This is a matter of great importance to the country, Zhao Yuehan felt that it was necessary to ask clearly.

"Brother Lin, why are you running away?"

"Could it be that you are still thinking about the royal relationship of the previous dynasty, and want to restore the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhao Yuehan asked tentatively.

The old servant Li Mu was trembling, His Majesty could really speak.

Could it be that His Majesty felt that Lin Xuan's death was not enough, so he pushed him cruelly?

It is said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and it probably has a reason.

"What about the imperial relatives of the former dynasty, to restore the Tang Dynasty?" Lin Xuan sneered, "Dynasty changes, this is the general trend of reincarnation, I think about it, isn't it just death?"

Li Mu: 【Thank you kid, you still know you're playing for death, you're playing for death now. 】

Zhao Yuehan unfolded the folding fan, took a sip of black tea, and heard Lin Xuan's disdainful attitude towards the former royal family, she knew it was not what she thought.

However, she was still very curious, this Lin Xuan had no worries about food and clothing, but she wondered why she was running away.

"Brother Zhao, let me tell you that it is the general trend of heaven to replace Datang with Dagan. At the end of Tang Dynasty, there were feudal lords who separatist and conquered everywhere, and the people were in dire straits. Dare to invade the Tang Dynasty, burn, kill and loot, and lose all conscience."

"Although Qian Gaozu, Ji Dangtian, was one of the princes of the Tang Dynasty, he was able to judge the situation and conquer the Central Plains. The world is peaceful and the merit is immeasurable.”

"In this way, the people who used to be the people of Datang have become the people of Dagan, and the core has not changed at all."

"But think about it, what a disaster it would be if it wasn't for Gaozu Ji Dangtian who won the world, but Wei, Yu, or even the grasslands that only knew how to burn, kill and loot entered the Central Plains and seized this country?"

Li Mu asked, "This?"

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "In this way, the citizens of the Tang Dynasty will all become slaves to the country! That's why I say that the Dagan inherited the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people are still Tang people, and the Tang people are also Dagan people. There is nothing more orthodox than this."

[What a Tang person is still a Tang person, and a Tang person is also a Dagan person, there is nothing more orthodox than this! 】

It was the first time Zhao Yuehan heard such an evaluation, so she smiled lightly.

"Since Brother Lin agrees that Dagan is orthodox, and he also said that Tang people are also Dagan people, why don't you want to run away with this comfortable life? Could it be that Brother Lin, like some common people, does not see a woman as emperor ?”

Ever since the legendary empress Ji Handan ascended the throne, not only her elder brother was dissatisfied, but her uncle was also dissatisfied.

He even spread to the public many times how a mere woman can hold the magic weapon of Dagan, and sooner or later he will bury Dagan. This once attracted countless attacks and discussions, which have not subsided so far.

The most ridiculous thing is that during the several times the empress went on tour, there would always be dead soldiers rushing out, shouting relevant slogans to assassinate.

Of course, these assassins were killed without exception.

Assassins are easy to deal with, but the most disgusting thing is some rotten Confucians, not only do not want to become an official, but also persuade their students and disciples not to become an official.

"Do you want a bratty little girl to ride on your head?"

"Are you going to kneel down and shout long live?!"

"..."

This was the information Zhao Yuehan collected through some spies. At the beginning, she was very angry when she saw it, and wanted to kill all these old men.

However, these rotten scholars wished that she would order to kill them, so that they would have the name of a great Confucian who was not afraid of the empress.
