The snow is falling heavily, and the sky and the earth are white. .
The gods of the Great Season stand majestically in the vast sky and earth.
In a palace in the Forbidden Palace of the Divine Capital, Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi were sitting around the stove, both wearing snow fur, their faces reflected like white jade, and they were unparalleledly beautiful.
There was a pile of memorials on the low table beside them, and they each took a memorial and were reviewing it.
The sound of snowflakes falling to the ground could be clearly heard outside.
After a while, footsteps sounded.
"Come in." Xiao Qi said.
Suru came in lightly wearing a red cloak, holding a purple sealed box containing the memorial in her hand. They needed to open the sealing wax in person to prevent it from leaking out halfway.
The bright red cloak made her snow-white face look even whiter and rosier, making her charming and charming.
She turned around and closed the door of the hall. The cold wind blew a piece of snowflake into the hall, bringing a bit of chill. Several piles of fires in the hall shook a little, and the two women looked up.
Su Ruxiu's face was solemn: "It's an urgent memorial from the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Xiao Qi stretched out her hand.
Suru presented Youzi's memorial box, took two steps back, and filled their teacups.
Xiao Qi opened the memorial box, took out three memorials, handed one to Xiao Shi, and opened one herself. After a moment, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her expression became more solemn, and she sighed quietly.
After Xiao Shi flipped through three memorials, he shook his head and said, "Why don't we do something new, complain all day long, and keep asking the court for money? What on earth do these guys want to do?"
Xiao Qi said: "There was indeed a disaster over there, but it was far less serious than what was stated in the memorial. They just used this excuse to make more money. This is a common method used by court officials."
"How courageous!" Xiao Shi sneered and said, "I think they are looking at the emperor's new enthronement, and they are mainly gentle and appeasing, so they are determined not to do anything to them, and they also want to test the emperor's mind!"
Xiao Qi nodded slightly and said: "It's human nature!"
"Little sister, do you think you should indulge them?" Xiao Shi frowned.
Xiao Qi said: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, he should mainly focus on appeasement. It will not be too late to deal with it after the foundation is solid. Otherwise, people will inevitably be panicked and the government orders will not make sense."
Xiao Shi shook her head and said: "Little sister, you are too careful, they can't make any trouble!"
"Second sister..." Xiao Qi said helplessly: "We can't just act as we please. There are some good officials in the court, but we still have to rely on them to govern the world. We can't govern a county or a government ourselves.
Bar?"
"Then let Lu Yurong go out." Xiao Shi snorted and said: "Didn't she check a lot of information about corrupt officials? Kill a group of them to bring down the prestige of these guys and let them know the emperor's methods. Naturally
They will be honest and honest, don't worry, they don't dare to disobey the emperor and are reluctant to give up power, so I guarantee that they will become honest and honest one by one."
Xiao Qi sighed and shook her head but did not refute.
The two have different concepts of governing the country. She emphasizes the balance between yin and yang, hardness and softness, and cannot kill blindly. However, Xiao Shi advocates hanging a sword over the heads of these court officials to make them frightened.
Neither of them could convince the other and could only compromise with each other.
Lu Yurong was inclined to Xiao Shi's idea, hated the court officials and was merciless. The Secret Guard House had investigated many officials' dirty deeds, but she had always suppressed them and not pursued them.
It's not that Xiao Qi doesn't want to pursue the case, she just feels that the time has not come yet and Xu'an has not yet been able to gain a firm foothold.
Everyone in the world thought that as long as they were gods, no one would dare to oppose him after he inherited the throne, but they didn't know that the officials below had many ways to fight against the emperor. As long as there were enough benefits, even gods would dare to resist.
Therefore, she planned to stay calm for the first year and then start killing people one year later. By then, she would have arranged the arrangements for her own people, and the main authority had been gathered into her hands, so she would not be afraid of stirring up trouble again.
It's a pity that Xiao Shi and Lu Yurong are impatient and can't wait.
Two people treat her alone, and sometimes they still have to act according to their ideas.
"That's it!" Xiao Shi said, throwing away the memorial, stretched out, and sighed: "It's time for Chu Li to come back and take a look, right?"
"It's not easy for him there." Xiao Qi shook his head.
She heard Chu Li talk about the situation in Tianwaitian, and knew that it was very difficult to get involved and take control of it. It was difficult to take care of this side. She couldn't do much to help, so she could only stabilize the rear and not make any mistakes.
Although Chu Li has gone to Tianwaitian, his prestige is still there. The gods of the six countries worked together to face the Asuras, and with the help of Li Xinghe's Guanxing Pavilion, they repelled another invasion of Asuras.
"He..." Xiao Shi sighed: "He was born to work hard!"
Xiao Qi smiled and nodded.
"There's no way to go on like this. Otherwise, you can become a god as soon as possible." Xiao Shi frowned and said: "Looking at this posture, he is spending more and more time there, so we can't always be separated, right?"
"The spiritual beast mental skills have been improving recently. Second sister, please step up." Xiao Qi said.
Xiao Shi sighed: "There is no time, there are too many things in the court."
"It's time to start building Ziguang Pavilion." Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Otherwise we will be dragged down by political affairs sooner or later and be unable to do anything."
Before Chu Li left, he once suggested the establishment of a Ziguang Pavilion, which was an institution independent of the imperial court and only responsible to the emperor. It could help the emperor escape from the fatigue of government affairs and only focus on major matters.
They haven't implemented it yet because they don't feel confident.
"We have to take another look. Ziguang Pavilion can't be impatient." Xiao Shi said: "If you don't find out what these ministers are thinking, don't end up in a situation where you can't lose."
"Next time Chu Li comes back, let him help select people." Xiao Qi said.
Xiao Shi smiled sweetly, and the whole hall lit up: "Okay, Chu Li has an extremely accurate eye for identifying people, so let him help select people."
"Want to build Ziguang Pavilion?" Chu Li's voice suddenly sounded.
He suddenly appeared in the hall.
Xiao Qi suddenly brightened up and stared at him closely.
Xiao Shi glanced at him sideways: "Are you finally willing to come back?"
Chu Li smiled and said: "It's time to build the Ziguang Pavilion. You are getting involved in political affairs because you are doing a small thing and a big loss."
Xiao Shibai glanced at him and hummed: "Then I'll leave it to you. Before you leave, make sure the candidates for Ziguang Pavilion are selected. With Ziguang Pavilion, we can also be lazy!"
"Put it on me." Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Qi had already walked to him and held his big hand.
Xiao Shi waved her hands and said: "Go quickly, don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
Chu Li chuckled twice and disappeared into the main hall with Xiao Qi.
The two of them returned to Yuqi Island in the Duke's Mansion in an instant. The separation was better than the wedding, so naturally they were in love.
After the incident, the two hugged each other and talked.
It's snowing heavily outside, but it's warm as spring inside.
Chu Li hugged Xiao Qi's warm body and told him his plan.
Help Xiao Qi gain initiation, improve the spiritual beast's mental skills to enter the realm, and then practice the Forgetting Divine Sword to greatly improve her cultivation. With the combination of the two, it is not difficult to enter the realm of gods.
"It's not harmful to you, right?" Xiao Qi snuggled into his arms, her face flushed and stunningly beautiful, her eyebrows lightly frowned: "I heard that initiation requires a lot of cultivation and is also dangerous."
"It doesn't matter, it's a drop in the bucket for me." Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi hesitated: "I can't leave now, Second Sister is too busy here."
"After the Ziguang Pavilion was built, she would not be so busy." Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi said: "I'm still worried."
"After you become a god, you don't go to the outer world immediately. If you want to stay here, you can stay here. If you want to go there, you can go there." Chu Li said with a smile.
"...Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Qi nodded slowly.
