Xie Qing waited for a long time in front of Liangyi Hall.
Yunfu Golden Que, Beast stove steaming incense.
The sound of footsteps came from the door of the Vermilion Palace, and he immediately stepped up the stone steps to meet him.
Yaoying staggered and stepped out of the hall with heavy steps.
She got the promise she wanted.
In exchange, Li De also got what he wanted.
Yaoying never expected a complaint to awaken Li De's conscience. She entered the palace immediately after leaving the East Palace, in order to make a deal with Li De before Li Xuanzhen entered the palace.
Marrying far away and relatives will inevitably lose their lives. Since they will live soon, it is better to do another business.
The transaction with Li Xuanzhen was to let the Flying Cavalry team rescue Li Zhongqian.
Trading with Li De is for Li Zhongqian's plans after returning to Beijing.
Probably shocked by Yu Yaoying's decisiveness, before leaving, Li De suddenly looked at her for a long time, and pointed to a floor tile with signs of wear and tear in front of the dragon's case: "Qiniang, look."
He looked around.
"This hall has been burnt down. The concubines and concubines of the previous dynasty were locked here. They burned clean and needed repairs everywhere. The tiles had to be replaced, the floor tiles had to be re-laid, and the Taiji Hall had to be re-founded. . . . "
The courtiers repeatedly requested to renovate the palace.
Li De instructed: "Frugality is to nourish one's nature, and tranquility is to cultivate one's body. When the new dynasty is established, it is not suitable to build large-scale construction projects."
He was thrifty and stopped the construction of palaces in various places. He only ordered the palace staff to repaint the interior of the palace before moving in. He ordered that all places be prohibited from paying tribute to rare treasures, especially those so-called auspiciousness.
The emperor was frugal, and courtiers naturally did not want to make extravagance.
Li De said: "Qiniang, who doesn't like fresh clothes and gorgeous clothes? Who doesn't like grand and grand palaces? I'm not an ascetic monk, I also love luxury, and I also want to live in a tall and bright house."
He paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "But I am the emperor."
He was still an emperor who was not long on the throne in an era when all the heroes were standing side by side.
Far from enjoying it, as a monarch, he must lead by example.
He is the emperor, he must be careful in everything, he must beware of all people, he must use all available means to balance the court.
Yao English calmly said: "Uncle once said to Brother A that some people are short-sighted and can only see wealth for a while, while some people have a long-term vision and see years later, decades later, or even hundreds of years. Thousands of years. My uncle has been frail since he was a child, and he wanted to calm down the troubled world. He and the Holy One met like old friends and had similar interests. He said that what the Holy One saw was decades and hundreds of years later."
Back then, when the barbarians invaded south, aristocratic families fled to the south to avoid disaster, but the Zhu family resolutely stayed behind at the risk of extinction to protect the people who had nowhere to escape.
When the Zhu family established the country, the people's hearts and aspirations returned.
However, this dynasty established in the devastated world only grew stronger for one generation, then quickly declined, and finally perished completely.
Xie Wuliang and Li De once had an argument on this.
Li De believed that the root cause of the demise of the previous dynasty was not the chaos of the people, nor the obscurity of the last emperor, but the mutual struggle between noble families and corrupt officials.
The Zhu family once tried to save the dynasty. They vigorously promoted the Han people, reformed the administration of officials, and promoted the imperial examinations, which aroused the vigilance of the family. Fainted, the world is in chaos, and the reform has failed miserably.
Li De said that if he ascended the throne, he would not easily compromise with the family. He would consolidate the imperial power, consolidate the military power, let the Han family suppress the family, and prevent the revolt of the previous kings from repeating.
The aristocratic family has been unable to stop the rise of the Han clan, and they should have followed the current situation and sought other ways to protect the family's interests.
Xie Wuliang cares about the country and the people. He has the same long-term vision as Li De. He is well aware of the family's monopoly on power, and also understands that as long as the aristocratic family is in charge of the court again, there must be a protracted secret battle with the imperial power. The inevitable result is unrest.
Xing, the people suffer. die, the people suffer.
The new Wei Dynasty must lay a solid foundation at the beginning of its establishment, eliminate all threats, thoroughly reform the administration of officials, and avoid the shortcomings of the previous Dynasty.
Only in this way can there be long-term stability, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and stay away from war.
Xie Wuliang was so weak that he couldn't rush to the battlefield to kill the enemy like his ancestors did, but that didn't stop him from actively running to calm down the troubled times.
As long as the people can live a prosperous and happy life, he doesn't mind helping others.
He has seen one hero after another, and finally met Li De.
Xie Wuliang had high hopes for Li De, believing that Li Dexiong was talented and foresight, and would be the bright master who would end the troubled times.
Therefore, even though he knew Li De's nature well, even if he foresaw the outcome of the future, Xie Wuliang still chose to give Li De a chance to cooperate.
He is not afraid of being hidden by birds, and only asks Li De to treat his sister well.
Yaoying looked at the splendid halo that filled the hall in front of the multi-layered screen, without a trace of waves on her face.
"Your Majesty, my uncle introduced you as a confidant. Even if you warned other noble families by snubbing the Xie family, he never complained about anything... It's a pity that he didn't recognize you at all. He thought you would definitely remember your promise to him and take good care of me. Auntie."
Yaoying said in a low voice, "Uncle definitely didn't expect that you can't even make this simplest promise. You also have selfishness, you can't face Queen Tang's death, you can't resolve the hatred of your eldest brother, and take your anger on me. Mother and my brother."
Donggong targeted Li Zhongqian, didn't Li De know about it
He knows.
He didn't intervene.
Li Xuanzhen was trapped by his mother's hatred, and Concubine Xie and Li Zhongqian's mother and son were the whetstones that Li De used to polish Li Xuanzhen.
He couldn't hide his ruthlessness towards those around him.
Li De was silent.
Yaoying continued: "I treated refugees in Jingnan, opened a library, and published books, so that more underprivileged children could afford to read books... But I dare not let the sage know this, because I know that even what I do It is an act of benefiting the country and the people, and the sage will not reward me for it, the sage will only suspect that I have ulterior motives, and then suspect my brother."
"Holy Majesty, although I am a woman and understand the importance of the country, I don't agree with the injustice of the sage to my aunt and brother, and I don't agree with the sage's use of the loyal Xie family to warn other families."
A generation of monarchs, even the loyal and martyrs have to figure it out, and let them hold grudges with Jiuquan, how will the people of the world treat the heroes and martyrs
Heroes and heroes who sacrificed themselves for the sake of the public should not be so despised.
Li De does not deserve to be her and Li Zhongqian's father.
Not worthy of being a confidant of Xie Wuliang.
After Yaoying finished speaking, facing the bright light, she walked out without looking back.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, all the strength he had accumulated was fading like a tide, his legs were weak, and he was top-heavy.
Yaoying couldn't help trembling slightly.
Xie Qing's hand embraced her arm through the light clothes: "Your Majesty, I will support you."
Yao Ying was calm, and with Xie Qing's support, she walked down the long steps step by step.
The square was filled with blazing sunlight, the wind whistled past, and the eaves bells rang.
"Aqing, I'm going to marry Ye Lu's department."
Yaoying raised her head and looked at the cloudless clear blue sky.
"I will write a letter of recommendation for you, and you can join the army. It is the time to hire people in the army, and you are highly skilled in martial arts, and you will definitely be able to emerge in the army in the future."
Xie Qing supported Yaoying with a respectful attitude and said expressionlessly: "I am the guard of the princess. I will go wherever the princess goes."
Yaoying raised her eyes to look at him: "Aren't you afraid that you won't return? The Ye Lu tribe lives as a nomad, wandering and looting for a living. Once I go, I will never come back in my life."
The grasslands are more turbulent and savage than the Central Plains, and tribes are killing each other. The Yelu tribe is now strong, but in a blink of an eye, it will be defeated by the iron hooves of other tribes and disappear completely.
She had prepared for the worst.
Xie Qing still had no expression on his face, and said calmly: "Then it will never come back."
Yaoying smiled.
After leaving the square, Yaoying trembled even more, her face was covered in dense sweat, and her teeth were rattling.
Xie Qing didn't say a word, just picked her up, wrapped her in a cloak from head to toe, protected her in his arms, and escorted her back to the palace.
When Chang Shi saw Yao Ying who was trembling with pain, she burst into tears.
Yaoying grabbed Chang Shi's hand and instructed intermittently, "Uncle Hu... I'm fine... I'll be fine in three days, you send someone to bring my aunt back... "
Chang Shi cried and nodded.
"It's alright..." Yaoying curled up into a ball, "I'll be fine soon... Aniang and Axiong will be safe in the future..."
She fell asleep, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
