It was already March of Jinghe's fifth year.
In March of Yangchun, the grass grows and the warbler flies, which is the season of recovery of all things.
The green willows in the hibiscus garden have already sprouted new buds, the apricot groves are wafting fragrance, the clear water ripples in the breeze, and the voice of the girl by the water is clear and sweet.
"Sir, come and see, I caught a big fish!"
Li Yi walked over and helped Shouning take the fish he caught from the hook.
At the age of fourteen, most of the greenness has faded from the girl's face. When she raised her head and smiled, it seemed that the spring in the garden was much brighter.
A guard took over the fatty fish, skillfully disemboweled it, removed the scales, and handed it to King Jin Li Han next to the grill.
Nearly thirteen years old, Li Han, who is good at grilling fish and is already the official dean of the college, his chubby face began to become sharp and angular.
At this time, more than half a month had passed since Li Xuan ascended the throne in early March.
The first emperor Renzong died at the beginning of the year, and Jinghe's reign lasted for five years, but it will have to wait until next year to establish a new yuan.
Just like this belated spring, in March of Yangchun, Kyoto and even the entire Jingguo began to exude vigorous vitality.
The court was running stably, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the law and order was good, and the economy was booming. These—of course, had nothing to do with that unreliable emperor.
Li Xuan was using a microscope to observe the microbes in the lake water, and the things that were ground out of glass were no longer a big challenge to the Academy of Sciences.
They have already made presbyopic glasses, which can be said to be the gospel of some veterans in the court. It is said that after a certain old censor's presbyopia was cured for many years, Li Xuan did not say anything more about Li Xuan's desire to increase scientific research funds for the Academy of Sciences One sentence.
Li Xuan, the bastard emperor, was lazy to the extreme. When he presided over the funeral ceremony of the late emperor, he entrusted all the affairs of the government to the Pearl of the auxiliary government. After he ascended the throne, he seemed to have completely forgotten this matter. Sun went to court, but only persisted for ten days, so he left all court affairs to Mingzhu on the grounds that he was busy with research.
All the officials had nothing to say about this. After going through so many things, they already understood that Jingguo could not live without a princess, and also could not live without His Majesty. Such an arrangement seemed absurd, but it was already the most suitable.
Li Yi led Yongning, and Shouning followed him, walking towards the lawn.
Two small figures are walking and crawling on the lawn, and occasionally they will not stand still and fall down. Ruyi and Shizifei... now they should be called Empress Empress. Ruyi and Empress Empress have told the people around them The palace guards let them play by themselves. The children who are almost one and a half years old will only be stronger after this kind of beating.
From the fourth year of Jinghe to the fifth year of Jinghe, among the many officials and dignitaries in Kyoto, the Wang family is undoubtedly the biggest winner.
At the beginning, how many people thought that marrying a daughter-in-law to an eldest son instead of the king of Shu who was most favored by all officials was a self-destructive thing for the family. Now those people have to rely on the breath of the Wang family to survive.
They have the most powerful financial resources in Jingguo, backed by Jingguo's most powerful forces, who can compete with the Wang family
If there is, there is only one.
When it comes to financial resources, ordinary people naturally think of Jingguo's God of Wealth family, but a few people know that the Li family's financial resources are probably not far behind the Wang family, or even surpassed...
In terms of power, although the Wang family has a queen, it still cannot be compared with the favorites of the two dynasties, and the Wang family does not need to compare, because the relationship between the Wang and Li families is also extraordinary.
Yongning and Shouning ran to tease Li Duan and Li Rui, Li Yi walked up to Ruyi and Wang Qin, bowed slightly and saluted, "I have seen the empress."
Wang Qin smiled and said, "Sister Ruyi and I are sisters, so you don't have to be polite to the Marquis of County Li."
Although Li Xuan is the emperor, there is only one empress in the harem. Many ministers in the court have repeatedly written letters asking him to register concubines, but many times to no avail.
This is also the reason why the status of the royal family has become more stable in the court. If His Majesty does not establish a new concubine, there will be no suspense about who will be the next emperor.
Li Han came over with a plate and said, "Sir, the fish is ready, this one doesn't have too much seasoning."
Li Han's grilled fish technique has been unanimously approved by everyone, so His Royal Highness Jin Wang is also a part-time fish griller in addition to serving as the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences.
Ruyi likes food with a light taste, so Li Yi asked him to reduce the seasoning. The empress’s taste should be similar. She has no friends in the palace alone, so she often invites Ruyi into the palace. Li Xuan later moved his family directly. When we arrived at Furong Garden, there were only two people in their family anyway, and it was not far from Li's house, and Ruyi and her walked frequently.
Ladies first, there are many fish bones in the lake, Li Yi picked the fish bones with chopsticks, then handed the plate to Ruyi, and walked towards Li Xuan by the lake.
Wang Qin sighed softly, and said: "When my father was alive, my favorites were my husband, Mingzhu, and Li Xianhou. His departure will hit them hard..."
Ruyi smiled and said: "Master often said that death is not the end, maybe the first emperor just went to another world, the late emperor ninety-five, the dragon among men, can live very well even in another world good."
"I believe that Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness also think so..."
…
"You, the dean of the School of Computing, have a false name in the first place. All the things in the School of Computing are done by Xiaohan. It's just a name, and I don't need to trouble you. Why do you want to resign?" Li Xuan looked away from the microscope. , looked at him and asked.
"Opportunities are always reserved for young people." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Xiao Han has been plotting for that position for a long time. As a gentleman, I naturally want to fulfill him."
Li Xuan didn't continue this topic anymore, and thought of one thing, he suddenly said: "I almost forgot, you are only a county lord now, how about I make you a county prince, forget it, why not make you a state prince..."
Since the founding of the country, the princes of the state have not been conferred, not even a county magistrate. His county marquis has been an exception for decades. Li Yi looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Why don't you confer on me?" How about a prince?"
"You want to be a prince..." Li Xuan thought for a while, and said, "What kind of prince do you want to be, I will draw up an order when I go back..."
If Li Xuan really made this decree, there might be courtiers smashed to death on the pillar tomorrow. For the sake of his own reputation, Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the county marquis is fine, your majesty is gone, what?" It's not interesting for the king and prince..."
He looked at Li Xuan and said, "You can't leave everything to Mingzhu about government matters. You are an emperor and a man. Can you act like a man and shoulder the responsibilities you should bear?"
Li Xuan looked at him and asked, "Why, do you feel distressed?"
"—"
"If you feel distressed, go and help her yourself." Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "If you join hands with Mingzhu, what problems can't be solved?"
Li Yi took a deep breath and asked, "Are you the emperor or am I the emperor?"
Li Xuan asked back: "Do you like Mingzhu or I like Mingzhu?"
Li Yi lost again.
"However, there is one thing you said is quite right." Li Xuan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Since you are a man, you have to shoulder the responsibilities that a man should have."
Li Yi nodded, this guy is still somewhat responsible.
Li Xuan looked in a certain direction, and murmured: "Xiao Han is already thirteen years old, in two years, he will be considered a man, right?"
Somewhere by the lake, Li Han, who was grilling fish, suddenly stood up, and his body trembled involuntarily.
