good wife

Chapter 860
Time flies, and it has been five years since Yuanxi ascended the throne.

For five years, the Kunning Palace has been empty.The Empress Dowager, the former Concubine Shu, although she was named Empress Dowager after Yuanxi ascended the throne, she did not move out of Fushou Palace.Empress Su Jingyi was originally supposed to live in Kunning Palace to comply with the rules, but Yuan Xi ordered her to live in Chengqian Palace directly.

Chengqian Palace is the emperor's bedroom, usually only the emperor is entitled to rest, according to the rules of the palace, even the empress is not allowed to stay here.But Yuanxi insisted, and there were no other concubines in the harem, so both the emperor and the queen mother did not express their views, which was regarded as acquiescing.In the previous dynasty, quite a few old officials kept saying that it was not in line with the rules of the ancestors and that the rules of etiquette were messed up.

But Yuan Xi just said it lightly, "The affairs of my harem are my family affairs, so I don't need to bother my lovers." It was this sentence that left those veterans speechless .Of course, they were still a little unconvinced in their hearts. How could the emperor have family affairs?The matter of the emperor, no matter how small it is, it is a major matter that will affect Da Yuan!But these words, they dare not say directly.Why?
Because the new emperor has frightened many people with his thunderous policy in handling political affairs since he took the throne!Especially in terms of rectifying officials, the new emperor is much tougher than the Supreme Emperor!

On this day, Yuanxi started the morning court as usual. After the officials shouted three times, they began to stand on both sides of civil and military.

"My Majesty, it has been five years since you ascended the throne, and the harem is still empty. At present, you only have three princes. Please also invite the emperor to accept the harem so that the blood of our Dayuan royal family will continue."

Yuan Xi squinted his eyes slightly and looked down. The one who spoke was Yang Shuo from General Zhenxi's Mansion!

"General Yang, instead of worrying about my heirs, you might as well worry more about the affairs of your general's house!" After finishing speaking, the servant beside him stepped forward and presented several notebooks to Yang Shuo.

After Yang Shuo took a rough look at a few books, his pupils constricted suddenly, his hands trembled, and he couldn't stand still. He took two steps back and was gently supported by an adult behind him. !
"The old minister is incompetent! The old minister is incompetent in teaching his son! Please also forgive the evil son for the sake of the fact that the old minister has fought hard for Dayuan and has been loyal all the time!"

The ministers immediately understood that it must be one of Yang Shuo's sons who caused trouble again!I think Yang Shuo is a little pitiful!Two sons died one after another, and they all let this white-haired man Yang Shuo send a black-haired man!It took a few years to stop, and I don't know which son caused the trouble again!It's really embarrassing!

A gleam flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, and he said with a half-smile on his face: "Forget it, I just think that Old General Yang has also made great military exploits for me, so please spare him once!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Shuo knelt down and thanked him.

"Old General Yang, please. I heard that you still lack a deputy commander?"

Yang Shuo's heart tightened, and he immediately understood the meaning of the emperor, "Report to the emperor, Vice Commander Liu, a few days ago, he said that the old illness had relapsed, so he has been recuperating. Come to think of it, he is almost recuperating now, right?"

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, "Old General Yang doesn't care about your subordinates too much! I heard that Liu Aiqing was in pain because of a relapse of her old illness, and she even had trouble walking. How could she enter the barracks again? If that's the case , What kind of person have I become? Do you want such a seriously injured person to go out and kill the enemy for me? If the word spread, wouldn’t I treat the heroes harshly?"

Yang Shuo was stunned by the words, but he quickly realized, "Your Majesty, the old minister visited him the day before yesterday. It seems that it is not as serious as what the Emperor said?" Deputy Commander Liu is his confidant, so he naturally It is hoped that he can be protected again, but if he is really withdrawn, as the emperor said, his future in this life may come to an end!

Gu Wen took a step forward and said: "Old General Yang himself said that you went to see him the day before yesterday. But yesterday, when I and several ministers went to visit him, he really couldn't get out of bed! Later, he was still in another bed. With Madam's support, I managed to get out of the inner hall."

When Yang Shuo heard this, his face was slightly annoyed, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded that Deputy Commander Liu all over the place!What a fool!Isn't it because he wanted to marry one of Gu Wen's lieutenants?As for?Originally, he was thinking of using this as a threat, after all, he is now the most capable deputy in his camp!He has a very wide network of contacts in the army. He thought that the emperor would give him a marriage just because of this, but unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot with a rock!What happened?The daughter-in-law failed to marry, but instead ruined her own future!

"Your Majesty, perhaps he has gotten better these days. As you know, I am a little older, so in the past few years, the affairs of the army have been handled by Deputy Commander Liu. If you let him leave the barracks just because of this, , I'm afraid it is?"

"General Yang is overthinking!" Su Wei, Marquis of Pingnan, stood up and said, "Our Ministry of War has its own rules! General Yang, what you said just now was a slip of the tongue! You are the commander of the army, but you said that most of the affairs in the army are A deputy commander is taking care of it! General Yang, do you mean that without this deputy commander Liu, your army will be rebellious?"

Yang Shuo was startled, and quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty knows that! I have no such intention!"

"Okay! Of course I understand Aiqing's loyalty! Aiqing doesn't need to panic! Since Old General Yang also said just now, because of his old age, Vice Commander Liu has always been in charge of military affairs. I will It's the decree of kindness."

Yang Shuo was overjoyed, but he always felt that there was something weird in his heart, so he thanked En and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Old General Yang is indeed not young. It is my negligence that has always made General Yang so troublesome. He has to worry about the country when he is old! But those young and strong people in the court are too young. It's easier to live a leisurely life! It's all because I didn't think carefully! Let General Yang be wronged!"

When Yang Shuo heard this, there was nothing he didn't understand. He was about to speak again, but when he raised his eyes and met the emperor's incomparably sharp eyes, his expression froze immediately!I can't say anything!
"Come here, pass on the decree. Old General Yang is dedicated to the country and loyal, and he is specially conferred the title of Marquis of Huai'an! Reward thousands of taels of silver, one hundred mu of fertile land, and one hundred horses for brocade forging, so as to comfort my heroes in Dayuan! As for the position in the army , Old General Yang is too old to do what he wants, and from now on, Yue Zhengyang, the son of King Yue, will officially take over.

Yue Zhengyang looked at Yang Shuo with a smile, as if he was still watching a play, but was told by the emperor that he was an old general!A handful of age!But I couldn't help holding back, and I laughed out loud!But when the emperor called his name, he froze and said with a dazed expression: "Why me? Did you make a mistake?"
