Three days later, Qingyun began to govern the court, and Mo Xuan sat next to her. The two of them were like a couple of gods, which was pleasing to the eye and admired from the bottom of their hearts.

Due to Master Jingxin's insistence, Qingyun had no choice but to handwrite a pure gold plaque with the words "Edict to Grant the Zen Forest" to Cining Nunnery as a reward. He also named Leng Yi the title of Yingxiaohou and Grandma Shen as a third-grade lady, and stayed in the palace to take care of herself. Tiannian.

Qingyun secretly established a dark force, codenamed "Royal Dark Dragon". The personnel were those secret guards who did not want to be promoted to official positions, and Long Ying was appointed as the leader.

There was also Qingyun who avenged the grievances of Feng Zhaoyi, Su Zihan and the Murong family, restored the reputation of the three families, and granted them posthumous titles. At the same time, he ordered the county governors of their native places to build ancestral halls for these people so that the world could worship them.

In the Jinluan Hall, the civil and military officials held a meeting and revised and refined the nine new policies promulgated by Qingyun, further improving the implementation provisions of the new policies.

Later generations called these nine new policies the "Nine Policies of the Emperor", which opened a chapter of Jin's prosperity and strength.

After the emperor's nine policies were issued, everyone in the government and the public was rejoicing. While the citizens of the country praised Emperor Ming and Xiao's wisdom and virtuousness, they enthusiastically devoted themselves to the management of their homeland and country. There was a prosperous scene everywhere.

After the morning court, Qingyun and Mo Xuan returned to a side hall of Luoxia Palace hand in hand. Mingde Hall had been reduced to ashes, and Qinzheng Hall recorded too many memories of his father. Qingyun didn't want anyone to disturb his father, so he left them This side hall is where she handles government affairs.

"Are you tired?" Mo Xuan squeezed Qingyun's shoulders with moderate force.

"Fortunately, my father allowed me to participate in the government affairs early, so I don't feel tired at all." Shaking her head slightly, Qingyun took Mo Xuan's hand and pulled him to sit on the dragon chair next to her: "You have been in charge of the government for most of the day. , take a rest.”

Reaching out to hug Qingyun into his arms, Mo Xuan said softly: "I will always be with you, and together we will create a prosperous world!"

Nestling in Mo Xuan's warm arms that smelled like medicine, Qingyun closed her eyes. She had just been cured of her cold illness. After half a day, she inevitably felt a little tired.

"Xiyan, are you going to return Emperor Chu's gift to him?" Chu Yunyi actually used the Wei Li Kingdom, which he had fought so hard to conquer, as a gift for Xiyan's enthronement, clearly intending to cause trouble for him.

"Yeah." Qingyun still closed her eyes: "This gift is too precious, so naturally I can't accept it."

"Since Emperor Chu is kind enough to fist him, just accept it."

Opening her eyes suddenly, Qingyun slightly left Mo Xuan's arms and looked at him with doubts in her eyes.

Chen Yu is very jealous and has always regarded Chu Yunyi as his strongest love rival. Normally, he should resolutely refuse this gift from Chu Yunyi. How could that be?

Lowering his head and kissing the corner of Qingyun's lips, Mo Xuanfu hugged her into his arms again, with a hint of teeth grinding in his deep voice: "Although Weili Country is small, it is surrounded by water and rich in products. It borders our country to the east and China to the south. It connects the Chu Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom to the west, and connects various small countries to the north. It has both offensive and defensive capabilities and good trade. It is beneficial to our country. The most important thing is that after you become Zen, we can go there to spend the rest of our lives."

"Having said that, it is the country that Yun Yi conquered after all. How can we take it as our own?"

"Looking at the whole world, only our country, which is prosperous and has a strong army and horses, can control the Weili Kingdom. No matter which other country gets the Weili Kingdom, there will be constant disputes. It will not be the people who suffer by then. The Emperor of Chu has conquered the Weili Kingdom for so long. Not being included in the territory of the Chu State naturally has such considerations; secondly, the Emperor of Chu has had many years of friendship with you, and you deserve this generous gift to congratulate you on your enthronement and wedding. If you are really feeling sorry for yourself, why not let us How about finding a virtuous queen for the Emperor of Chu, and saving the Chu State’s ministers from making trouble every day to ask the Emperor to help the royal family, and causing the Emperor Chu a great deal of trouble?"

Reaching out and twisting Mo Xuan's waist, Qingyun snorted angrily: "Jealous!"

"Ouch!" Mo Xuan yelled exaggeratedly, and then he leaned into Qingyun's ear, his tone of grievance was full of sourness: "I also have good intentions, lest he think about how to poach me all day long! "

"Be careful if you anger him and send someone to break into the palace to assassinate you!"

"I am a master of medicine and poison, and my martial arts skills can be said to be very few rivals in the world. No matter how many people he sends, I will not be afraid. Besides, Xiyan will protect me, right?"

Qingyun shook her head in amusement.

At this time, Qing Xiu suddenly bowed and walked in: "Your Majesty, Mr. Han, Prince Xian wants to see you!"

Looking at each other with Mo Xuan, Qing Yun left Mo Xuan's arms and sat upright, adjusting her appearance without any mess: "Please come in, Prince Xian."

Qingxiu responded and retreated.

After a while, Sima Xian walked into the side hall.

Although Qingyun spared Sima Rui's four brothers from kneeling down, Sima Xian always remembered the difference between monarch and minister, so he leaned over to kneel down. Mo Xuan waved his right hand and stopped him from bowing. Qingyun was not responsible. Said: "Sixth brother, didn't I say before, you are all my most respected brothers, there is no need to care about those red tapes."

"The etiquette cannot be abolished!" Sima Xian said quietly.

Although Sixth Brother is gentle and gentle, he actually pays the most attention to rules. Qingyun no longer dwells on this: "Sixth Brother came to see me for what reason?"

"I sincerely request the emperor to remove me from the position of prince and demote me to a commoner!"

"What?" Qingyun was startled, while Mo Xuan looked at Sima Xian thoughtfully: "How could the good sixth brother have such an idea? Could something have happened?"

Sima Xian lowered his head and said calmly: "I promised Wanting that after all the dust settles, I will accompany her and Lin'er to visit the scenic spots..."

"Didn't I decree that all officials should have two months' vacation? Brother Liu can accompany Liu Huangsao and Lin'er to visit the scenic spots during the vacation. If the vacation is not enough, I can extend it at my discretion."

Without waiting for Sima Xian to say anything, Qingyun said earnestly: "Sixth brother has always dedicated his life to the country and the people. Not only has there been no mistake at all, but he has also contributed to the imperial court and the country. If I agree to Sixth brother's resignation, how will I explain it to the world? Could it be that Sixth Brother could bear to have the world criticize me and say that I am narrow-minded and cannot tolerate meritorious ministers? When the time comes, who else will do their best to serve the court and work for the welfare of the people? "

"I have not framed the emperor for being unkind and unjust!" Sima Xian knelt down and explained: "I have already written a memorial to apologize. The emperor only announced the content of the memorial to the world. Naturally, no one will misunderstand the emperor again!"

As he spoke, he took out a memorial from his sleeve pocket and presented it with both hands.

Mo Xuan stood up, walked from behind the imperial desk to Sima Xian, took the memorial, returned to Qingyun, handed the memorial to her, and then sat down.

Putting the memorial on the table without even looking at it, Qingyun looked at Sima Xian who was kneeling down: "The civil strife has just subsided, and everything in the country is waiting for things to be done. My sixth brother has loved me the most since I was a child, but at this time he doesn't I am really sad that you are willing to stay and help me." His voice was low and lonely.

"There are many talents around the emperor, and the absence of one minister will not affect the overall situation." Sima Xian said firmly: "The emperor has always been indifferent and casual when he knows his ministers, and he does not like the complicated and complicated government affairs. I just want to live a peaceful and relaxed life with my wife and children. , I beg your Majesty to grant it!"

"Prince Xian doesn't like the complicated government affairs, so he goes to the Ministry of Rites. Hong Hu has just been appointed as the Minister of Rites. There are many things that are not clear yet. Prince Xian only needs to supervise Hong Hu. In addition, I have given Prince Xian a three-month leave. The prince can take Princess Xian and the Crown Prince to travel during the holidays. As for Prince Xian’s resignation, I will not agree to it, and Prince Xian will not mention it again in the future!”

"emperor......"

"Brother Six, now everything is waiting to be done. How heavy the burden is on my shoulders. Brother Six should know very well. You are my brother. If you don't help me, who will help me?"

It was me you were talking about just now, and it is me you are talking about now. It can be seen that Qingyun cares about this brother very much.

Sima Xian lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression. However, the hands on his knees unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter.

"Besides, the Spring Festival is coming soon. My father and Concubine Yu are no longer here. You are the only relatives around me. Even Ba Ge and Ba Huang's Wife have decided not to go to the border after the Lantern Festival. Could it be that Sixth Brother can't bear that our family can't be reunited?"

After a long time, Sima Xian raised his head, looked at Qingyun with expectant eyes, and finally nodded: "I obey the order!"

"Brother Six, this is the first Spring Festival under my leadership. Everything is in good hands. Brother Six, please take the trouble."

Sima Xian responded respectfully: "I understand! I leave!" After bowing, he left the side hall.

Staring deeply at Sima Xian's back, Qingyun's face was as calm as water, her dark eyes were dyed with deep light, and she raised her hand towards somewhere in the shadow.

"Xiyan is worried that Brother Six will take Sixth Emperor's Wife and Lin'er and leave soon." Mo Xuan's tone was affirmative rather than questioning.

"Brother Six is ​​as indifferent as Concubine Yu. Even if I use my affection to retain Brother Six this time, I'm afraid that after the Spring Festival..." Qing Yun sighed, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "Chen Yu , do you think Sixth Brother would have known a long time ago that he is not of true royal blood?"

"you mean......"

"I once heard Concubine Yu accidentally mention that before she entered the palace, she suddenly encountered robbers on her way back from offering incense at Cining Temple. Her father happened to be passing by and rescued her. She fell in love with him at first sight;

Later, I learned from Uncle Leng's words that my father, who was still the crown prince at that time, was not in the capital at all. It was my father who disguised himself as my father to hide this from the late emperor and the ministers;

Concubine Yu has always been delicate and thoughtful, especially she has a deep love for her father. Even if she didn't notice it when she first entered the palace, it is impossible for Concubine Yu not to notice it after several years of getting along with her. She shared the same bed with her and gave birth to children. The person sitting on the dragon chair is not the same person, not to mention that father’s affection for mother is not a secret;

I guess that Concubine Yu must have known about it a long time ago and told Sixth Brother at the right time. Therefore, over the years, Sixth Brother has not fought for power or profit. He has protected me overtly and covertly, and at the same time, he has kept the proper distance from me. When I buried my mother in the imperial mausoleum in the name of Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu was buried in the mausoleum next to her, Sixth Brother would have no objections, and even resigned today, and even asked to be demoted to a commoner!" And he firmly opposed it! You are with me.

After all, she is her father's only daughter. Except for Sima Chun and Zhi Lan, who are Yue Ting's children, the rest of the princes and princesses are the blood of their father, Emperor Ling Feng.

If she and Chen Yu didn't leave a son and a half, then this direct line of the Sima family would be cut off forever.

Mo Xuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If Brother Six insists on leaving or leaves without saying goodbye, what will you do?"

"In my heart, Sixth Brother and the others are my relatives. No matter whether Sixth Brother insists on leaving or leaves without saying goodbye, I will not agree. At most, I will give Sixth Brother a longer holiday. Now that my father and Concubine Yu are gone, I We can't let this family and relatives be separated..." At this point, Qingyun suddenly stopped and looked at the door in a daze.

"What's wrong, Xi Yan?" Mo Xuan looked at Qing Yun with a stunned expression.

Qingyun came back to her senses and grabbed Mo Xuan's hand, speaking quickly and nervously: "Chen Yu, if, what I mean is, if your father-in-law and mother-in-law had an accident, or even died suddenly, how would you feel?"

Although he didn't understand why Qingyun asked this, Mo Xuan still said truthfully: "Of course he is heartbroken!"

"Heartbroken? Yes! Heartbroken!" Qingyun's calm face suddenly overflowed with a strange look, and her pupils were shining with a burning light.

Holding Qingyun's hand tightly with his backhand, he felt that she was so hard and tight that her nails were almost embedded in his flesh. Mo Xuan didn't know the pain, but asked eagerly: "Xiyan, don't scare me, what are you doing? ?”

"I'm fine!" Qingyun shook her head repeatedly, her whole body became excited and uncontrollable because of some speculation in her heart, her face turned crimson, and her whole body was trembling slightly: "Chen Yu, I... .I think my father and Concubine Yu must still be...still alive..."

Pursing his lips, Mo Xuan looked at Qingyun without saying anything.

"What I said is true!"

After calming down his excitement for a while, Qingyun continued: "No matter whether Sixth Brother knows that the father is his biological father or not, Concubine Yu is his biological mother and concubine. The father and Concubine Yu suddenly passed away, and the Sixth Emperor's wife was extremely sad. Absolutely, fainted several times;

After Sixth Brother returned to the palace, whether he learned about the death of his father and Concubine Yu, or when his father and Concubine Yu were buried, although Sixth Brother was very sad, I always felt that something was wrong, but I didn't think much about it at the time. ;

Now think about it carefully, Brother Six's expression is filled with sadness but there is a hint of calmness. Isn't this so unreasonable?

There is only one explanation for why Sixth Brother is so abnormal, and that is that Sixth Brother knows that Concubine Yu is still alive! And Concubine Yu has a deep love for her father. If her father really dies, Concubine Yu will never live alone! Even if Sixth Brother Even if I deliberately arrange for Concubine Yu to leave, Concubine Yu will not leave!

Chen Yu, believe me, my father is definitely still alive, definitely still alive!"

"I believe in you! Don't worry, no matter where we are in the world, we will definitely find our father and Concubine Yu one day!"
