No matter how you complain, what should come will still come.
Dayong's summer was not as hot as imagined, but since spring entered summer, it hasn't rained in Dayong for three consecutive months, which is already a very headache for the common people.
The courtiers in the court are also very worried, not to mention that it is not just the capital that does not rain. Apart from the capital, many places in Dayong are also very dry. Some people think that there may be a drought this year...
Under such circumstances, Xiao Qingrong expressed in the court hall that he would personally offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for rain.
"The emperor is wise, and the emperor is the son of the real dragon. He will definitely be able to get rain and benefit the world!"
After almost a year, the courtiers in the court already knew that since the emperor said this, he must have made a decision, and these words were definitely not asking for their opinions. It sounds cheerful and very gentle, but the means are extremely cruel.
Last year, the Wang family and the Xie family were forced to enter the court by the emperor. In the words of the emperor, if the so-called aristocratic family does not contribute to the people of the world, there is no need for it to exist. The meaning of a proper threat, just when everyone thought that the Wang family and the Xie family would not compromise, did not know how their emperor persuaded these two families, but let these two thousand-year-old families enter the court, and now they are regarded as The location is great.
Of course, the Tianxia Granary jointly managed by the Xie family and the Wang family, and the national bank under the personal supervision of Jin Yiwei, were gradually developed last year, producing more than 800 catties of potatoes and corn. He respected him very much, thinking that the emperor must be the real dragon emperor, otherwise, how could he find such powerful food
Since these two kinds of crops officially began to spread from the surrounding area of the capital last year, the common people have had a good winter. Even though it has not rained for three months, everyone is just worried and does not feel any fear, just because of this Potatoes are extremely simple to grow, require very little land, and have high yields, allowing the people to store more or less food, and they can live on.
There is also the national bank. In the name of the country, the people of Li are allowed to put their money in the bank, which invisibly enriches the treasury and makes the people have a stronger sense of belonging to the Yong Dynasty. This is only half a year. The country The banknotes circulated by banks are already very popular.
All these things were done while the emperor was laughing and joking, which made everyone dare not underestimate the current emperor. The other party was definitely not as harmless as they imagined.
Of course Xiao Qingrong is not harmless, especially at the end of last year, when he found out that some aristocratic families were still unwilling to give up, he felt a little bored. These people had given them so many opportunities, but they insisted on dying , really annoyed Xiao Qingrong a little.
In the past year or so, the number of Jin Yiwei has secretly exceeded 50,000. They are all good masters. Except for those who have been arranged, many of them are protecting the palace near the capital. Xiao Qingrong wants to take a look. What on earth do these so-called aristocratic families want to do!
After the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven was confirmed by the court, someone had already arranged it, and Xiao Qingrong went to the queen's bedroom. During this year, he stayed with the queen most of the time except for going to court. Sometimes, always staying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to watch memorials is also very boring.
When Xiao Qingrong passed by, Li Qingyu was eating with her son in his arms. This year, the three-year-old little prince did not have a proper name. The ancients believed that a newborn child should not have a name, otherwise he would be taken away by a kid. The royal family is the same .
"Your Majesty, are you here?"
Seeing the emperor, Li Qingyu was also very happy, and the child in her arms also looked at Xiao Qingrong excitedly.
"Hug, hug! Father, father!"
He was well educated by his mother, and now he can speak very clearly. Xiao Qingrong walked up, stretched out his hand, hugged the child into his arms, and weighed it.
"Yo~ my dear, you're getting heavy again~"
Then she hugged the child and sat beside the queen. Nanny Long opened her mouth happily when she saw the emperor. Now she can see that the emperor is sincere to the empress. Even the ministers said that they want the emperor to enrich the harem. , the emperor rejected it for the sake of the empress!
"Your Majesty, he will be unhappy if you say that about him."
Helplessly watching the emperor say that her son is heavy, Li Qingyu also laughed. If it was her in the past, she would never dare to imagine that she can live like this now. When she knew that she was going to become the queen of this country, Li Qingyu had already She made preparations to let go of all love and concentrate on being a mother of the country, but she didn't know why, but when she was getting along with the emperor, she suddenly couldn't control her heart.
Obviously knowing that the emperor's affectionate eyes were full of playfulness and banter, Li Qingyu was still moved.
For more than a year, no matter inside or outside the palace, it was said that she was favored by the emperor, but who knew that even if she and the emperor slept together at night, it was just a simple sleep, and there was no longer a relationship between husband and wife. matter.
This person said that he loves her and loves her, but he treats her like a scourge.
After being rejected several times by the other party, Li Qingyu knew that the emperor's feelings were fake, even if it seemed so real, she could clearly tell the difference at first, but now, she has enjoyed too much tenderness and warmth from this person After caring, even though Li Qingyu knew that all of this was fake, she was already deeply involved and couldn't help herself.
If it is possible, she would rather not know that all this is false.
At least, as outsiders can see, the emperor dotes on the empress, the most doting in the world, and even takes a scoop for the empress's weak water.
"Really? But what I said is obviously true. He is a little fat. When he grows up, he will know how beautiful and ugly he is. He will blame you, mother, for not taking good care of him."
Deliberately winking at the queen, Xiao Qingrong took the bowl from the queen's hand and fed his son himself. Anyway, he could only have such a son in this life, so Xiao Qingrong doted on him very much.
Li Qingyu was so choked that he couldn't laugh or cry. I didn't expect the emperor to talk about his beauty and ugliness in the future, but looking at his son's wrist like a lotus root, it seems that he has gained a little fat. If he grows bigger in the future, he should eat less , otherwise, if the child is too fat, the body will not be very good.
"Empress, the emperor cares about the little prince. This child was chubby and cute when he was young, but when he grows up, if he is still chubby, he will not be so cute. The little prince is carved out of the same mold as the emperor. If he is a little older Some of them must be very similar to the emperor."
Mother Long hurriedly said that the harmony between the emperor and empress is what these slaves like to see most.
"It's still Long Nanny who knows what I want. If you raise a child like this, be careful that he won't be happy~"
He said so, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he continued to feed his own emperor. Xiao Qingrong successfully achieved the double standard, so that Li Qingyu, who was falsely accused, didn't know what to say. , can only change the subject.
"I heard that the emperor intends to hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for rain in seven days. Has the emperor thought about it?"
Everyone in the world envies being an emperor, but who can know that sitting in this position, the more you get, the more you have to give, whether it is the grievances of the common people, or natural and man-made disasters, As long as something happened, it was all the emperor's fault. When there was a severe drought, it was generally believed that there was something wrong with the emperor. Otherwise, why would God punish them, the common people
Even the former emperor had issued an imperial edict against himself, so Li Qingyu was very worried.
"Zitong don't worry, I'm sure of it, I'm the Son of Dragon, and when the time comes, I sincerely pray for rain for the people of this world, God will definitely stand by my side!"
For this day, Shadow has been preparing for no one knows how long, so he absolutely does not allow any mistakes in this matter.
"The courtiers believe that the emperor is the real dragon emperor, not only the emperor of the common people in the world, but also the emperor recognized by God!"
Looking at the person in front of her, Li Qingyu felt that she couldn't see the other person clearly countless times. Obviously, this person always looked like a child in front of her, and she always said some nonsense words, which made her very happy, but from the mouths of her brother and father. However, this person is such a vigorous and resolute person.
Which one is he? Li Qingyu has seen the other party's tenderness, pitifulness, and even embarrassment, but she has never seen the cold-blooded and ruthless father and brother said.
Such a person... how could he be a cold-blooded and heartless person
Not knowing what his queen was thinking, Xiao Qingrong left the queen's palace after playing with his son for a while, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After letting the people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation guard him, he went directly to To the lower level of the underground cell.
This thing was found by Shadow when he was looking through the ancient books before, and it was considered the secret way of the previous dynasty, so after discovering the secret way, Xiao Qingrong used this secret way.
The end of the secret road is all prison cells, which were used by the previous dynasty to imprison some unspeakable criminals, so Xiao Qingrong is naturally the same, and now Hu Po manages this mysterious dungeon.
Going to the end from the secret path, standing there waiting, is Hu Po wearing a Langya mask and dressed in black, and Li Qingfeng from the Li family.
Since Li Qingfeng was officially promoted by Xiao Qingrong last year, there was no need to hide many things from him, so Li Qingfeng and Hu Po cooperated better, after all, there was still a layer of kinship.
"See the emperor!"
The two knelt on one knee to carry their luggage, and Xiao Qingrong waved his hand.
"Get up~ Did anyone catch it?"
Li Qingfeng and Hu Po who were kneeling on the ground stood up, and then Li Qingfeng spoke.
"Back to the emperor, the traitor has been caught, and he is in cell No. 9, but it is a pity that he has not been able to open his mouth."
Now that Li Qingfeng is highly valued, the more he knows, the more he has an indescribable fear of the current emperor. Thinking that his younger sister is well-loved in the palace, Li Qingfeng knows that since their Li family has already entered this For the sake of their sister and the little prince, they can only hold on, even if they know that the emperor in front of them is completely different from the benevolent emperor they imagined.
"Oh? Have you encountered a hard stubble? Take me to have a look, I want to know what kind of hero this traitor is!"
Xiao Qingrong was a little excited, but there was still no expression on his face. In order to maintain his image in the hearts of the officials, he still looked very reliable.
Looking at all this, 618 actually felt quite powerless, because it never thought that this shadow was also a pervert
Could it be that it has such a bad eye for choosing hosts, and does it always choose perverts
The two of them brought Xiao Qingrong to Cell No. 9 very quickly. The cells here are all closed, so it was a little dark along the way. Occasionally, they could hear the creepy screams of the detainees. If they were ordinary people, they would probably have It was impossible to be scared, but Xiao Qingrong was excited.
Cell No. 9 was opened, Hu Po walked in with a fire bag, and soon, the kerosene lamp inside was lit, Xiao Qingrong and Li Qingfeng walked in, and saw the man chained to the wall, this man is The latest traitor caught.
Xiao Qingrong thought that he had already punished the Ye family and the Tang family, and that the other party would not do any more stupid things, but he did not expect that Ye Qingyi was sent to the family temple, and Tang Mingyu died in the blink of an eye. Married the daughter of another big aristocratic family, that aristocratic family is still of the upside-down type. After the daughter married, it can be said that everything was upside down to the Tang family. People are the people that the Tang family stuffed into the court.
When the other party was captured, Hu Po had already disguised herself as this person under the clothes of Jin Yiwei, and she gave Jin Yiwei some people an upright identity in the future.
The person tied there tilted his head. Although he was not awake, he was definitely still alive. Just as Hu Po was about to make a move, he heard his own emperor speak.
"You don't need to worry about these things, let me do it myself, you and Qingfeng go down first."
Hearing the emperor's words, Hu Po and Li Qingfeng looked at each other, then saluted tacitly, and then retreated outside the door. After that, they both stood at the door with a blank face, preventing anything from happening inside.
After seeing the emperor interrogate these traitors for the first time, Hu Po and Li Qingfeng were very shocked, because they never imagined that the emperor, who is known as benevolence, would be even more cruel by the prison guards when doing these things. , It is precisely because of this that the two of them have more respect and fear for Xiao Qingrong. Kindness may bring people admiration, but cruelty makes people surrender in fear.
Only Xiao Qingrong and the person hanging on the wall were left in the cell, Xiao Qingrong turned around, looked at these things placed in the cell, and thought about it.
"I played hook last time, what should I play this time?"
Looking at the things placed here with great interest, Xiao Qingrong's eyes finally fell on the pot burning with charcoal fire in the corner, inside there were several iron palms used for branding prisoners, he stretched out his hand and picked one up, Looking at the red iron palm, Xiao Qingrong's smile grew bigger and bigger.
Seeing that the shadows were becoming more and more perverted, 618 collapsed, and finally couldn't help but say.
[Shadow, if you like acting, we can find the queen, I always come here, I can't take it anymore, it's so dark...]
Well, 618 admitted that the main thing was the large mosaic, which really made 618 unimaginable, and only felt that Xiao Qingrong's smile was gradually becoming abnormal.
618 doesn't dislike shadows anymore, as long as he doesn't do these horrible things, everything will be fine, okay
If the host and Dr. Xiao just have their own attachments, then the shadow's behavior is probably purely for fun, which makes 618 somewhat unacceptable.
After hearing 618's words, Xiao Qingrong laughed even more innocently in such a gloomy cell.
"No, what's the point of finding the queen? The queen doesn't cooperate with me in performances now, and I'm also very interested in historical TV dramas. I heard that the criminals in ancient times would be punished in various ways. This is called life experience. If I have the opportunity to act in the future, I will definitely win an Oscar for my acting skills!"
618 said in his heart that you are only suitable for evolution, and it is impossible to win the Oscar winner in this life! But it can't be said directly, thinking that the people in the court are now forced by the shadow to perform superbly, and they are powerless to complain.
Afterwards, the man who was locked on the wall was woken up by Xiao Qingrong, and the other party's scream full of pain resounded in this cell in an instant, because the underground cell here is not known how to build it, but there are so many It has the effect of sound insulation to some extent, so only Li Qingfeng and Hu Po standing at the door can hear the heart-piercing scream of the prisoner.
The two of them are already used to such shouts, and they both have indifferent faces. In their view, betraying the emperor is the biggest mistake. No matter what the emperor does, it is right. For such a rebel, even killing him A thousand times is not too much!
This kind of torture only lasted for a while. After Xiao Qingrong used all the tools he was curious about, he walked out of the cell a little bored. He didn't care if he could find anything from this person. After all, the Tang family, he Sooner or later it will all be wiped out.
Hu Po and Li Qingfeng personally sent Xiao Qingrong to the end of the road. They just watched the emperor and Eunuch Xi leave. After the two disappeared for a long time, they were still standing there. Finally, Hu Po spoke first.
"Go back."
The man didn't know if he could save his life. Although Hu Po was not a soft-hearted person, she still wanted to take a look.
Li Qingfeng also turned around and left with Amber. The smell of blood spread from both of them before disappearing into the darkness.
For Li Qingfeng, if possible, he would rather not let his sister see the emperor like this for the rest of his life.
The emperor's cold blood and ruthlessness should never be known to women.
