"What's the matter Where did my second brother go wrong" Shi Lifen said, "That deity healed all his injuries with his own hands. He thought he was a skilled person among mortals and could help you...Quan Qingyun raised his head to look up the mountain path. Not far ahead, there was a steep slope with thick snow and ice. 。This kind of place is really difficult to get around unless you have light kung fu skills. 。Such a mountain wasn't much of a challenge for him and Ye Fei Zhou. With their light kung fu skills, they could easily go up and down several times in just this amount of time. 。He knew even better that Ye Wen was also a master, and it was even possible that his martial arts were superior to both him and Ye Fei Zhou. 。Or, if you speak in terms of his personal guards, then it is not martial arts, but magic. 。Whether it's martial arts or magic, people are unwilling to use them! They would rather be like ordinary people, climbing an ordinary mountain. When they get tired, they rest; when they are rested, they continue on. They take advantage of the moonlight to admire the scenery along the way. Besides accompanying him, he has no other tricks. 。Now that we've come across a steep slope, according to custom, light work should still not be used. That's when he can come in handy. 。Quan Qingyun strode forward, using both his hands and feet on the steep slope. He then wiped the snow off his hands onto his robe and reached out to Ye Fei Zhou: "Fei Zhou, you go up first, and then pull Si Mei." 。"
Ye Fei Zhou also had a bit of helplessness, "Just use light work, isn't that enough Why bother so much" He mumbled again, "How did it become Fourth Sister" Then he looked at Ye Wenyan. "> 。That night, Ye Wen stood on Quan Qingyun's side for the first time: "I think that in this matter, the Third Prince has a deeper understanding." 。"Second brother, you know I was upset at home and came out to clear my head. If you have to use martial arts to clear your head, why did you come so far Couldn't you just find someone to fight in the city" 。To relax, you have to look like you're relaxing. Don't break the rules. 。Ye Fei Zhou felt she had to agree, so she resigned herself and held out her hand to Quan Qing Yun, letting him pull her up. 。After steadying himself, he turned to Ye Wen and reached out a hand. "Give me your hand, let me pull you up." 。At that time, within the Yanhuada Hall, Shi Liyuan sat on the jade throne, lost in thought, as if wandering somewhere else. 。Outside the Yanhuada Hall, Quingcheng and Wu Fu had been there since they arrived, and together with Lian Shi and Yunchen, the four were washing their hands at a basin while discussing how beautiful the plum blossoms were. They said they were much more abundant than those planted in the palace before, blooming at least twice as many flowers. 。After laughing along for a while, Lian Shi then said to Quan Qingcheng, "Should Your Majesty head back It's already half past midnight. You've spent an afternoon and evening on Yan Huashan. Aren't there important matters in court"Quan Qingcheng shook his head. "It's not that I'm not busy, it's just that everything is almost done." 。Now that the reconstruction of the outer city is complete, and the inner city is nearing completion, both officials and commoners are very satisfied with the results. 。The other day I was working really hard, so today I decided to take a break for myself. I went up to Yanhuashan mountain to breathe in the fresh air and feel revitalized. Tomorrow, I'll be full of energy again. 。And I feel that if I visit Yanhuashan a few more times, I might even have the confidence to ascend to the throne before my time. 。"Wu Fei could not help but speak up to criticize him: “The emperor must be at least eighteen years old before he can take the throne, and he must also get married." 。 " Well, that's settled then," said the emperor. "I know, there are still a year and a half left, I will definitely find a good girl to... cough, marry her into the palace, and sit on the dragon throne beside me." 。" Well then," Wu nodded, "Your Majesty knowing this matter is a good thing. The wedding preparations indeed need to be made. 。"
Yun Chen listened to this and remembered something: "Could it be that the Li family deliberately wanted to send their daughter, Li Yanran, into the palace I remember at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the Li family was very active, they even gave gifts to Empress Dowager Yu and ignored their own Lady Li. " 。"Yes, that's true. I also saw through the Li family's intentions." 。But after all, she is the daughter of the Li family. How could our Emperor possibly marry her Even taking her in as a palace concubine would require careful consideration. 。"Your Majesty, the Li family is too ambitious. After already having one empress, they want to have another. Plus, with Empress Dowager Li involved, how can you feel safe having one of her daughters by your side So Your Majesty, you must stand firm on this and absolutely not allow a daughter of the Li family into the palace." 。"Even Quan Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh, “How could a woman who has been in jail and is deceitful towards the common people possibly enter the palace as a concubine You’re overthinking it.” 。Even if it means turning against the County Princess of Guiyue, I would never allow her to enter the palace. 。Whenever it comes to Feng Zhaolian, Quan Qingcheng is still angry! The person is gone, but he's still terrified by the glares she gave him at the New Year's Eve Palace banquet. 。And those kids who haven't even grown their hair yet... This person really shouldn't think about it! Yun Chen comforted him: "Your Majesty, just rest assured, Guiyue County Princess doesn't intend to marry into Be Qi either. Even if you really fancy her, she could probably turn on both Guiyue and Be Qi." 。"That's good, that's good, you scared me half to death." 。"But the emperor should still have a number in mind and scout for a good girl beforehand." 。Then Lian Shi suggested to him, “Prepare in advance. Not only should the emperor have a plan in mind, but Empress Yu should too.” 。This matter cannot be arranged by the emperor himself. We need Empress Dowager Yu to come forward and make the arrangements. This way, we avoid any other people taking notice when you turn eighteen. 。“ He carefully wrote it down, preparing to visit Empress Dowager Yu tomorrow. 。Then he told him again: "And as for the Regent, this time, he was seriously injured by the Earth Dragon when it turned over, so he doesn't go to court and govern. 。Actually, I just wanted to see a joke from Your Majesty and let you know that without his assistance, this court would be impossible for you to manage. 。Of course, you didn't let him succeed. Not only was the matter of the Dragon flipping handled well, but the court side also stood firm with the help of several adults. 。The Emperor, he... a while back, Fourth Sister really did well raising this younger brother. He's quite the pride for her. 。"
Quan Qingcheng was overjoyed to hear this, “The Emperor truly praised me I will definitely work harder as the emperor and will never shame my sister.”
He rubbed his hands together excitedly, his demeanor making Yun Chen want to laugh. 。... However, he told her again: “Your Majesty should not be too happy yet, because the better you do, the more enraged the Regent King will become.” 。Including Empress Li, none of them hope that you can hold this throne for a very long time. 。Therefore, it's highly likely that some things need to be expedited. The Emperor's Road is long and arduous, fraught with thorns and obstacles. Your Majesty must tread carefully, observe the path closely, take each step wisely, avoid what needs to be avoided, and guard against potential dangers. 。" Seeing Quan Qingcheng seemed a bit lost, Wu Fei reminded him: "Even the emperor's meaning is that the prince regent's ambitions are huge, and it's impossible to be limited to assisting in government. What he wants may be even higher power." 。And if you don't grant him this right, he will have to find a way for someone else to give it to him, or he will have to do it himself. 。Therefore, the emperor must be even more cautious than before. After all, your growth might force him to advance some of his plans and schemes. A storm is brewing. 。" Quan Qingcheng took a deep breath. He could understand both Lian Shi's and Wu Fu's words, but he still had no comprehensive plan for how to deal with the storm. " 。"Currently, apart from the Regent King, there are some people in court I can rely on." 。He took the snack tray that a palace maid from the Purple Clothing Palace of Yanhuagong offered him, sat on the ground holding the tray, and ate while saying, “For example, Jiang Feng, the Minister of Punishment, Pool Hongfang, the Prefect of Lin'an, and even the left and right chancellors, although they often disagree and vie for power, they are mostly free from personal bias.” 。Only I understand, only these people are far from enough. The Regent King and Empress Dowager have been plotting for many years, and most of the officials in the court are on their side. Even though they took advantage of the situation to punish a lot of people and replace some, they still can't replace everyone. 。"Your Majesty, what is most lacking now" Lian Shi asked him. 。Qu Qingcheng pondered, “There are left and right chancellors for literature, the minister of punishment for punishment, and the magistrate of Lin'an for enforcement. What I lack is a martial..." 。After Ye Jia surrendered his military power, part of the army remained in the imperial court, while the rest was divided among several generals. 。Though the general is under my command, he is stationed at the border and I have never met him. 。As for the troops that the Ye family returned to the imperial court, the military command seals are in my hands. However, if I wanted to mobilize these troops, I wouldn't be able to without the Regent King's royal seal. 。Just like an imperial edict from me now, it requires both my jade seal and the Regent King's royal stamp to be presented together before anything can be done. 。Thus, in actuality, I have no real power at all. 。He grew more and more despondent. A non-reigning emperor was nothing, unable to issue edicts or even a simple decree without the nod of the regent king. 。No one looked up to him, more people were waiting to see his jokes, including his own siblings. 。
He handled the situation well, it seemed like he had everything under control. But in reality, it was all thanks to Ye Wen's efforts.
If Nightwind hadn't provided the medicine, he would now be facing a city full of wounded and high-ranking officials who were too injured to attend court. 。Then, there will be no facing east or west, no city walls, and the country itself will cease to exist. 。And as for those ministers he just mentioned, the Left and Right Ministers are alright, but Jiang Feng and Chi Hongfang were all rushing to face Ye Wenyan's facade, or rather, they were rushing to Emperor Zun's facade. 。He was the one who benefited the most. If it wasn't for his friendship with Ye Wenyan, these people wouldn't have helped him so thoroughly. 。Upon thinking this through, he could securely remain on the throne until today, truly relying on his kind-hearted elder sister!He picked up the pink jade doll that he had put aside earlier, pondered for a while and said, "Why don't I marry Zhuai'er or Chu Lian This realization came to me late, but my mother already saw it and even prepared gifts for me..." 。"Quan Qingcheng isn't very used to calling himself 'I,' privately, he mostly still prefers to say 'me.'" 。He felt that marrying someone close to Ye Wen was more reliable than figuring out how to get his hands on military strategy or how to connect with generals. 。Anyway, Ye Wenyuan is the future Empress. If he marries the future Empress, then no one in the court, from the civil and military officials to the entire country, would dare disobey him! Just for this reason alone, he's the most powerful emperor since the founding of Beqi!
Quan Qingcheng felt like he had a breakthrough...
