More than ten imperial edicts left the capital and went to various vassals as quickly as possible.
The closest vassal territory to the capital is half a month away. The farthest one takes more than two months to travel day and night. When the imperial edict reaches each vassal territory, the vassal kings have to pack their luggage and take their families with them to rush to the capital. As for the number of vassal territories
The thousands of vassal troops were taken over by young generals who accompanied the edicts.
Calculating this, it will take at least several months of work.
It is now the third month of spring, and when all the vassal princes return to the capital, it must be the time of cool autumn no matter what.
The vassal kings of Da Qi all had mansions in the capital, so the vassal princes did not have to worry about having nowhere to stay after entering the capital. The emperor generously allocated a large sum of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair the vassal princes' palaces one by one.
Such a kind act immediately won unanimous praise from all the officials.
A keen and thoughtful person could discern the deep meaning behind the emperor's move. The emperor wanted to use the excuse of repairing the feudal prince's palace to conduct a thorough inspection of the feudal prince's palace.
In the past, all ministers and officials felt that the emperor was casually friendly and lacked some of the power of God.
Now I was shocked to realize that the emperor was not a casual friend. He was just a big-tailed wolf that had been disguised as a white rabbit for several years! Before anyone noticed, he quietly showed his sharp teeth.
"The emperor's move is indeed powerful."
Mr. Zhao Ge and Mr. Lu Ge were quite close friends. When they got together in their free time, they couldn't help but sigh in private: "There are soldiers stationed in all the vassal lands. The emperor has issued an order to take the vassal soldiers into his own territory."
.”
"If the vassal kings resist and disobey the decree, they are plotting and rebellious. They can just send troops to quell the vassal."
Lu Ge Laoluo nodded and immediately sighed: "The vassal kings have guarded the vassal territory for generations and have long regarded the vassal territory as their own. In addition to the thousands of vassal soldiers on the surface, they also have private soldiers secretly. How can we do that?
Are you willing to surrender without mercy? Civil strife is about to break out in Da Qi!"
Mr. Zhao Ge was eight or nine years younger than Mr. Lu Ge, and he still had some vigor and enthusiasm. Hearing this, he smiled suddenly: "It's like having a cancerous tumor on a person's body. If you don't touch it, the cancerous site won't hurt. But if you want to cure it,
To cure your disease, you have to dig out all the cancer. If you leave it there, can it be cured automatically?"
“When digging out cancerous tumors, pain and bleeding are inevitable.”
"When the late emperor was on the throne, he had the idea of reducing the vassal state. However, due to various concerns, he never took action. Now that the Holy One has such courage, we should be grateful for him."
Mr. Lu Ge raised his eyelids and glanced at Mr. Zhao Ge: "Your youngest son must have persuaded you with these words!"
Mr. Zhao Ge: "..."
Mr. Zhao Ge coughed a few times but did not deny it: "In short, these words are quite reasonable."
The truth is correct.
But when it came time to meet Tuqiongdagger, no one knew how many feudal princes would be in trouble.
Mr. Lu Ge sighed silently.
…
With important matters such as the reduction of vassalage pressing on the minds of the officials, people's hearts were inevitably a little restless. When the officials gathered together in private, the topic almost never left the topic of "elimination of vassalage".
In comparison, the queen was not pregnant yet, so no one cared about her. Naturally, no one sent memorials to the emperor to open up the harem.
As the emperor, Sheng Hong became increasingly busy. The time he spent with A Luo practicing martial arts every night had to be reduced. Xie Mingxi accompanied him on his behalf.
Sometimes, after Sheng Hong practiced martial arts with A Luo for half an hour, he had to go back to the Qing Palace to review memorials and deal with political affairs. After going back and forth like this, Eunuch Wei felt a little sorry for his master, and he boldly said: "With the Queen's company,
Your Royal Highness, why does the emperor have to run around so hard?"
Sheng Hong said: "No one can replace me as my biological father. Besides, after watching the memorial for a day, it is also a good thing to get up and walk around."
He is truly a wonderful father who is hard to find in the world!
Eunuch Wei felt sorry for his master. He babbled a few words and then stopped.
The emperor's love for Princess Duanrou was visible to everyone. Several elders who often stayed in the palace on duty couldn't help but criticize her in private.
"The Emperor is a dignified, seven-foot-tall man, and he really has some affection for his children."
"Isn't that right? He never says anything to the Queen's advice, and he loves Princess A'luo very much. He is busy with government affairs every day, and there are piles of memorials. Fortunately, the emperor still has time to go back to Jiaofang Palace to practice martial arts with Princess A'luo..."
"That's all! Your Majesty enjoys it so much, why should I bother you?"
While talking, the emperor came back.
Several pavilion elders immediately stopped talking and raised their hands to welcome the emperor.
Sheng Hong said with a smile: "You gentlemen, please excuse yourself." Then he said in a pleasant tone, "I would like to ask the elders to come into the palace early tomorrow. I have some important matters, so I won't come to move the palace tomorrow morning.
"
The elders of the pavilions: "..."
here we go again!
Several pavilion elders twitched their lips.
Tomorrow is the day off for the academy. The Empress summoned Brother You and others into the palace to inquire about their studies. For such matters, the Empress is enough. Why is the Emperor joining in the fun?
However, Mr. Lu Ge and Mr. Li Ge were both beneficiaries, and neither of them said a word. Mr. Zhao's granddaughter, Sister Qing, also entered the palace and did not say a word.
Therefore, the emperor smiled happily in the silence of the elders and said: "Thank you for your hard work, elders."
…
The next day, both the emperor and the empress got up half an hour later than usual.
Xie Mingxi's eyes are like spring water, and her complexion is surprisingly rosy. She doesn't need to apply makeup, and her complexion is excellent.
Sheng Hong looked satisfied, like a cat that had eaten three fishes in a row. He grinned and his good mood was clearly visible.
Sheng Hong reached out to hold Xie Mingxi's shoulders, and Xie Mingxi glanced at her with an annoyed look. However, she did not move away and allowed Sheng Hong to hug her into his arms.
"Father! Queen!" A familiar clear voice sounded at the door.
It's A Luo here.
Xie Mingxi quickly pushed Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong reluctantly took back his hand and smiled at his daughter: "Aluo, it's rare for you to take a day off, why don't you sleep more?"
A Luo smiled happily and said: "Cousin Yun and Sister Yan will come to the palace today. I will come here early to wait for them."
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Ah Luo entered Lianchi Academy.
Ah Luo adapted very well in school and got along well with all her classmates. Sister Yun and Eryan were both classmates and friends of Ah Luo. This was also the first time that the two of them were called into the palace. They led their friends home
Being a guest is something worth being happy and excited about.
It is inevitable that Ah Luo will be excited and excited.
Seeing A Luo being so happy, Xie Mingxi couldn't help but laugh: "Brother You, Xiao Bao'er and the others will also enter the palace together today. There are many people in the palace today, so you have to greet them well."
A Luo puffed up her chest proudly: "Don't worry, queen. I'm here to ensure that everything goes smoothly today and no one dares to cause trouble."
It’s a bit early to brag about this bullshit!
Xie Mingxi smiled and glanced at A Luo: "As long as you can control yourself and don't quarrel with Brother Ting, no one will dare to make trouble."
