thank you + extra

Liu Zao seemed calm, but his little heart was beating fast.

No matter how calm she is, she is only a 15-year-old child, and she is unavoidably frightened when she suddenly guesses such a secret.I also remembered that Emperor Zhao died on the bed in the greenhouse hall.She couldn't help trembling all over, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She didn't sleep all night, and until dawn, her head was still groggy.Since Chunhe couldn't see it, Liu Zao had no choice but to pull himself together.

She guessed whether it was true or not, and she said nothing.

When they arrived at Bailiang Terrace, they saw Xie Yi waiting in the pavilion.When Liu Zao saw her, his face suddenly turned pale.If Emperor Zhao was really murdered by others, it would be her who did it!

Xie Yi was wearing court clothes, quite dignified, every frown and smile were bright and solemn like mountains and rivers.Seeing that the emperor's complexion was not good, she asked, "Your Majesty didn't sleep well last night?"

Liu Zao almost became furious when he heard this, and forcibly endured Wei Guanchunhe's expression, sat down calmly, and said, "Maybe I'm tired."

Next, it is teaching.

For the first time, Liu Zao was distracted when Xie Yi was teaching, thinking whether her guess was true or not, wondering whether Xie Yi had anything to do with this matter.

It should be irrelevant.Liu Zao secretly thought.If it was at the beginning of her accession to the throne, she must be sure that Prime Minister Xie is a regicide.But at this moment, what she thought was that killing the king was of no benefit to her.

Liu Zao was preoccupied at first, but she was quite self-controlled, and soon convinced herself that it was useless to think too much, it was better to listen to the lecture.We will talk about others after class.

Whenever Xie Yi was giving a lecture, the time seemed to fly by, passing extremely quickly.

At noon, Xie Yi was about to leave when Liu Zao suddenly said, "If Mr. Xie is fine, why don't you go after lunch."

It was the first time for her to leave a meal, but Xie Yi didn't agree immediately.

Liu Zao was a little nervous, but his face was calm, but his hand on the desk was clenched into a fist.Xie Yi's eyes first rolled around her face, then moved down, and glanced over the back of her hand.

The little emperor pursed his lips, and asked again: "How are you?"

Xie Yi smiled, bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Zao breathed a sigh of relief.

She stayed with Xie Yi because she wanted to ask about the current affairs.

The two got off the Bailiang Terrace and went to the announcement room.Bailiangtai and Xuanshi are not on the same road, Liu Zao does not take advantage of the public transportation, and walks side by side with Xie Yi.

Xie Yi asked: "Your Majesty, do you have something to ask?"

Liu Zao was startled, turned his head back calmly, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the palace people were all ten steps away.Xie Yi looked a little helpless, but didn't say anything.

Liu Zao suddenly felt that she was making a fuss out of a molehill, but the palace people around her were so powerful, she didn't know who was trustworthy and who was not, even though Chun was harmonious, Liu Zao didn't fully trust her.Emperor Zhao's murder was a shocking event, so it's better to be more cautious.

She pondered for a while, and asked, "Before Emperor Zhao fell ill, did Prime Minister Xie have an audience?"

"Emperor Zhao fell ill suddenly, he was still watching things the day before the illness, I must have seen it." Xie Yi said.

Liu Zao secretly thought, if this is the case, the sudden illness is even more bizarre.She asked again: "I don't know what disease it is?" She heard that Emperor Zhao was seriously ill and passed away in three days, but she didn't know what disease he was suffering from, it was so tragic.

This time, Xie Yi did not answer her again, but calmed down and asked with a smile: "Why did Your Majesty ask about Emperor Zhao?"

Liu Zao glanced at her, without changing his face, said: "Last time in class, I heard Master Huan talk about Emperor Zhao's sensitivity, and I couldn't help admiring it."

"Admiring Emperor Zhao's sensitivity, but asking about Emperor Zhao's illness?" Xie Yi asked indifferently.

I envy him for being smart, but when I ask him what kind of disease he has, it really doesn't make sense after looking into it.Liu Zao knew that Xie Yi was not easy to fool, but he never thought she was so perceptive. She was afraid that asking too many questions would make her suspicious, so she smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's a pity that he died young."

Xie Yi also smiled when she heard this.

She always has a profound appearance, as if she knows everything and is in control of everything.Seeing her like this, Liu Zao was a little suspicious, she knew it all.

The two went to the proclamation room, and meals were also prepared in the hall.

Xie Yi thanked the emperor for the meal before she took the seat.She eats very little, she was full after almost a few mouthfuls, but she didn't put down the chopsticks, but picked up vegetables, chewed slowly, and stopped when Liu Zao was full.

Liu Zao was still thinking about this matter, she always felt that it was strange, Emperor Zhao had been in power for ten years, and the ruler who was in charge would be murdered by others in the palace, it was too shocking.

She wanted to return to thinking, but her little eyes were fixed anxiously, as if she wasn't thinking wildly.

It's just that, even though she had racked her brains about this matter, she couldn't figure out why. If she wanted to know the whole picture, she had to send someone to investigate.Liu Zao was discouraged, how could she be so convincing to investigate such a big case.

In the afternoon, the little emperor returned to Bailiang Terrace, while Xie Yi went to sit in the government office.

Every three days, giving lectures to the emperor, for Xie Yi, it was very busy, it could be called a break in her busy schedule.As soon as she entered the office, she saw documents piled up on the case.Visiting officials filled the front yard.Chang Shi came forward with official documents to report the matter, and other rafters also asked for instructions.

Xie Yi was used to it, so he didn't panic, he waved his hand and signaled all the officials to wait outside, Chang Shi first reported the important matter, and then ordered the officials in the court to leave documents and name assassins, and they went back.Most of these officials came for private matters, Xie Yi could not spare time to see them today.

It was already dark when she returned home after dealing with the paperwork for a day.

Sitting on the carriage, she was so tired that her waist ached, but she still had to sit upright to maintain her majesty as a prime minister.

When I got home, I ate some food hastily, and went to the study to read the official documents.It was like this every day, speaking of it, the meal she had with His Majesty in the announcement room at noon was the most satisfying meal she had in recent days.

The copper lamp gradually dimmed, Xie Yi pinched the center of her brows, and looked out the window, it was almost dawn.She stood up, lay down on the long couch set aside, and was about to squat for a while before getting up and entering the palace.

Today is Wangwang Day, there is a big dynasty in the palace, and it needs to start at Maoshi.

Xie Yi was thinking about it, so she thought she would only sleep lightly, but when she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

She dreamed of a palace, which was Jiaofangdian.There was a woman sitting in the hall, looking out the window in a daze.

Seeing her 13-year-old self, Xie Yi stepped into the hall and knelt down in front of the woman, "Auntie."

Empress Wei seemed to be awakened by her, turned her head to look at her, and asked, "What happened to the palace people?"

"It's still fine."

Empress Wei nodded: "That's good." She moved her gaze out of the window again, "I don't know where the evidence is."

She didn't know how to reply, so she didn't respond.

Empress Wei shook her head with a smile, and said to her: "Protect that palace man, she must be the only blood in the East Palace."

The prince is still on the run, but she knows very well that the prince is doomed and cannot survive.The child in the palace's womb is the last bit of the prince's blood.

This is making arrangements.

Xie Yi saw that she made a big gift, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Auntie, with me here, I will ensure that she grows up safely."

This dream is very short, only such a scene.

Xie Yi opened her eyes and sat up. It seemed that she had not been lying down for a long time, and the sky was still dark.She let out a long breath.

It was a dream that happened when I was 13 years old.

The prince's servant is pregnant, how could he escape so easily.What's more, Emperor Wu was furious at the beginning, hating the prince's unfilial piety, so he dared to raise troops.There are many people in the palace who are throwing stones into the water.

She went through untold hardships to hide the palace man and let Xiao Liuzao be born safely.She secretly ran to Yeting, hugged the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and named her Liu Meng.The sprouting of vegetation is a sign of new life. May this little baby have a happy life and not be burdened by his parents.

Later, Emperor Wu's remaining anger dissipated, and he missed the prince's kindness. He even loved Wu Jiwu and gave the child a name.It's just that, the name she took can no longer be used.

It's okay.Xie Yi didn't feel regretful at first, but now that the little baby has grown up and become an emperor, he can see her often.She suddenly felt sorry, Liu Meng seemed to be more suitable for her.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Yuan: "Do you have your original form?"

Liu Zao: "None."

Xiao Yuan: "I have it."

Liu Zao: "?"

Xiao Yuan: "When I come back every three days..."

Liu Zao: "..."

Xiao Yuan raised his head proudly: "Our little tiger is amazing!"

Chapter 24

The two big courts every month are the only chance for Liu Zao to get in touch with the government.Whenever there is a big dynasty, she can sit on the throne and open her ears to listen to the courtiers.

All the discussions in the great dynasty are about major events, such as the entry of princes and kings, taxation for a year, and military defense of border states.It's just that when these major issues are discussed at the top, they are mostly discussed as a vague shadow.Liu Zao knew that the specific matters should be discussed separately after the dynasty.

Today's discussion is about taxes.

The tax law in use today was set by Emperor Zhao.Liu Zao was not very familiar with taxes, so he listened very carefully.

The Shaofu reported to the wat board and read: "...Women above fifteen to thirty do not marry, five counts."

The so-called calculation is a gift.The head of Guizhou of the Han family, in addition to paying taxes according to family wealth, also needs to pay taxes per person.If there is a child in the family, an extra 15% of the Fu will be added.Five calculations means paying five times the amount of money.If a woman does not marry after the age of [-], she will have to pay five times the tax.
