Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 592

"From now on, the status of the Zhao family will be abolished, and another virtuous person will be chosen to establish it!"

Like thunder and lightning across the night sky, piercing the silence of the entire hall.

Li Xuanye learned to manage government affairs since he was a child, and he was not very surprised by this result.

The core of power is mutual restraint, and the core of politics is absolute control.

As a monarch, once he finds any signs of losing control among his subjects, he must abandon all personal affairs, desires, likes and dislikes, and deal the most powerful blow to the betrayer as soon as possible.

He used to execute it perfectly, killing Gu's budding ambition in time.

He understood the emperor's intentions very well.

No matter whether it is true or not that the queen took the medicine of extinction, and whether Shen Yuqing was a participant, but Zhao Ziyi, as the only insider, has kept it from the emperor for so many years, which shows that the emperor has completely lost control of him. Ability.

If a subject who cannot be absolutely controlled continues to be given great power, the monarch will eventually suffer backlash.

The emperor succeeded to the throne at a young age, dragging his weak and sick body, and dealing with the queen mother for decades, it is impossible to rely on the so-called "benevolence" and "tolerance".

In other words, apart from his poor health, he can be regarded as a qualified king in all other aspects.

Therefore, when the emperor dropped the words of abolishing the princess, Li Xuanye clearly knew that this was not a sentence of anger, nor was it intended to test anyone, it was an order without any room for reversal.

But knowing something is one thing, and actually doing it is another.

Langhao held on to his fingertips, a drop of ink fell, and quickly blurred on the white rice paper.

The pen and ink are dripping, and the handwriting is slightly scribbled.

He just glanced at it, and felt a little upset, grabbed the rice paper, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and crumpled it into a ball, which added to his boredom.

The crumpled touch rubbed against his fingertips, as if mocking his indecision.

With a flick of the sleeves, scraps of paper poured out from the fingertips, like flying snowflakes, spun several times before the desk, and then fell lightly on the carpet.

He raised his hand to press the center of his brow, and closed his eyes tiredly.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight noise outside the door, and he didn't bother to open his eyes.

There are at least thousands of guards patrolling the Chongwen Palace. Without his order, not even an ant can enter. Any disturbances will be quickly dealt with by the hidden guards.

What's more, he doesn't have the time to think about anything else now.

Until the sound was getting closer and closer, accompanied by the crackling of "jingling bells", it was like a light wind stirring pearls and jade, light and graceful.

Fragrant wind is blowing, mixed with the sweetness of citrus and the fragrance of rose...

He looked up sharply.

When Zhao Xiwei approached the Chongwen Hall, the guards on the left and right were ready to stop him, but when he thought of the prince's gloomy face today, he gave up this idea again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood, and the Crown Princess is coaxing them, so those servants should relax a bit!

So Qiqi gestured and let Zhao Xiwei in.

As soon as Zhao Xiwei stepped into the hall, he saw him propping his forehead with his hands, leaning on the chair and dozing off.

He didn't sleep all night, and he was still sitting in the study when he came back. He didn't know how urgent the business was that kept him so busy.

Forget it, don't bother him anymore!
Zhao Xiwei lightened his steps, and when he took less than five steps, he suddenly opened his eyes.

The long eyebrows are slightly frowned, and the eyes are slightly condensed, seemingly cold and affectionate.

It was such an unintentional glance, but it still made her heart beat faster.

Before she had time to think about the strange expression on his face, she lifted her skirt and flew towards him, "Are you awake?" She hooked his neck with a smile, looked at him with full eyes, and said, "Did I wake you up?" ?" With a swipe of her finger, she stroked his chin, and muttered softly, "I've been up all night, and I've grown stubble!"

"Really..." Li Xuanye let her touch her twice, and immediately came back to his senses, and subconsciously turned his head to the side, "You..."

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment.

Is she sensitive?Does he seem to be deliberately alienating himself?
The shoulder suddenly sank, and it was his palm that fell on it.

But instead of embracing her or hugging her as usual, he held her shoulders and opened the distance between them by half a foot.

Neither far nor near, neither close nor distant.

But it reveals a kind of indifference that cannot be expressed in words.

The change came so fast, Zhao Xiwei didn't think about anything else for a while, he only moved his toes as if he was getting angry in the palace, stepped back obediently, and then asked with concern: " What’s wrong with you?"

His eyes moved inadvertently and fell to the ground.

Dark red carpet, white paper, confused and silent.

She just glanced at it, but she didn't think much about it, thinking it was a torn official document.

"Who is this that made His Highness angry again?" She took another half step back on her toes.

The word "Zhao Shi" came into my eyes, and I was suddenly curious, and subconsciously bent down to pick it up.

"I made delicious food for you, and I even made one for you with my own hands—" She stopped abruptly when she said that, and what fell on her feet happened to be the word "waste". To ask.

Li Xuanye got up abruptly, his voice was chaotic: "Zhao Xiwei!"

A short line of words was torn into a dozen small pieces of paper.Maybe it was destined to be seen through by her somewhere, so the first half of the sentence was right at her feet.

Zhao Xiwei picked up one at random, and it was the word "position", which corresponded to "waste" and "Zhao Shi" lying on the ground not far away.

The status of the Zhao family was abolished.

She didn't look at what was written on the remaining ten or so scraps of paper, let alone pick them up.

With these five words, the rest is not important.

She couldn't react for a while, she just stared at him blankly with wide-eyed eyes.

and so……

He was busy all day and night, that's it?

She looked at him, and he looked at him.

The four eyes met, it was he who was defeated first, turned his head slightly to avoid her sight, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Let's talk..."

"Talk? What are you talking about?" Zhao Xiwei asked in a daze. The incident happened so suddenly that her mind went blank, as if she had lost her thinking and language.

"..." He turned his head again, took a deep look at her, and said nothing.

Zhao Xiwei was shocked when he saw this.

She took another step back, lowered her head, and looked at the pieces of paper on the ground.

By coincidence, the previous reserved and indifferent suddenly faded, she squatted down and picked up the pieces of paper that fell on the ground one by one.

More than a dozen pieces of shredded paper are white and clean, with a poignant beauty like crumbling Qionghua and jade.

The paper supplied in the Chongwen Hall is imperial paper, which is of excellent quality. Although it was crumpled into a ball and suffered the fate of being torn, when it was put together again, the content on it was not affected at all.

The slightly frantic handwriting caught my eye——

Zhao's status was abolished, and he lived in a secluded courtyard. He could not get out of it unless he ordered it. His food and servants should remain the same as before.

In black and white, every word kills one's heart.

not kidding!

It's not a misunderstanding either!
It is to abolish her edict!
