many worries

The day of Jing Yan's accession to the throne was set in the spring of the fourth year after Emperor Yuande became seriously ill.

In fact, the courtiers have written letters repeatedly, asking Jing Yan to ascend the throne, because he himself is not willing to ascend the throne too early. First, there are too many restrictions after becoming emperor. Keep calm in the world, there will always be some unrest, so you have to take your time.Then there is the last and most important thing. Jing Yan has arranged it for so many years, but it has not been completed yet, and it is not the time when it can be guaranteed to be safe.

That date was set by Si Tianjian. Since the matter of Daoist Qianqing, Si Tianjian has been holding his head for a while. Now it is finally their turn. After divination back and forth several times, a few excellent After submitting the days, Jing Yan only heard Jing Yan say: "Calculate to see which two good days are adjacent to each other."

The people below exchanged glances quietly, and they probably understood in their hearts that this is a happy event for a couple.

Even if there are no two good days next to each other, their Si Tianjian has to make up one after searching through ancient books.

As soon as the members of the Sitianjian left, Sheng Hai came in with a booklet. At this time, it was either an important matter, or it was submitted by the clan.

Jing Yan opened it, and it was the heirs chosen by the clan for him. It is said that all of them are good-looking and good-natured, ranging in age from old to young, and have ties to every family in the clan.

Because the news of his infertility had already spread.It was not long after Qiao Yu came back. Seeing that his spirit and temper had improved, the courtiers tried to hand over the papers to persuade Jing Yan to choose a concubine, but Jing Yan dropped the papers on the spot and left with a sleeve.

This is almost never the case.

Later, people from the clan who were placed in the palace managed to find out that it was the current regent, and the future emperor Jing Yan had a serious illness when he was in the Taiqing Palace, which hurt his health and made him unable to have children, so he chose the concubine. Such a big reaction.

Many people knew about this matter, and it was impossible to hide it. Everyone in the court knew it, but they just pretended to be deaf and dumb and dared not speak.

Relying on being relatives of the emperor, the clan did not dare to reveal their faces, but very "intimately" sent up the rosters of these children for Jing Yan to choose.

It's a pity that Jing Yan didn't choose any of them, and even gave an order, saying that in order to educate these princes and grandsons well, they will be sent to teach in a place in the suburbs of Beijing after four years of birth, and they will serve Da Zhou well after they complete their studies. So as not to delay the talent.

The clan didn't dare to talk anymore.

However, this matter could not be hidden from the courtiers, and they soon realized it.

Jing Yan didn't care about their petty actions, and returned to Xianlin Palace after reviewing the papers. Qiao Yu sat cross-legged on the soft couch, with all kinds of delicate sugar cakes in front of him, and didn't move a few mouthfuls.It is winter now, and the fire dragon in the house is very hot. He is still wrapped in a thick cotton coat, his cheeks are flushed from the heat, and he is struggling to draw a Chinese text under the light.

Hearing the movement at the door, he turned his head and saw Jing Yan standing there, throwing away the paintbrush, he didn't care about anything, he jumped down and threw himself into Jing Yan's arms.

Jing Yan grabbed Qiao Yu, wiped off the cinnabar that was accidentally smeared on the tip of his nose, and asked softly, "What did you do today?"

Qiao Yu told Jing Yan one by one.He will not stay in Xianlin Palace all day now, and he will also go to the Hanlin Academy to chat and talk about things, which is interesting.

At the end, he paused, and whispered into Jing Yan's ear: "They want me to tell you something, I think it makes sense, so I decided to tell you."

Those people were obviously just hinting, and what they said was extremely cryptic. They only hoped that Qiao Yu would also say something cryptic to Jing Yan, but they didn't expect this consequence.In the minds of the courtiers, Jing Yan is a good emperor who can govern the Great Zhou well, a good emperor who is rare in a thousand years, but he is not gentle, and even if they say a disrespectful word in their hearts, it is close to violence.

But no one knew what he and Qiao Yu looked like together.It is impossible for Jing Yan to lose his temper with suspicion about anything Qiao Yu said, and it is impossible for Qiao Yu to hide anything from Jing Yan.

Jing Yan nodded after listening to Qiao Yu's words.

Qiao Yu continued, "They said, you can't live without a child, and you are destined to never have children. If you are afraid that the government will not be stable in the future, you must at least have one on the surface. Now the late Xi'an Wang family has added one more child." The grandson is a good seedling to adopt."

Jing Yan smiled, "Don't dare to make a joke on me, but I have brought all the gossip to you. But it's what Xiaoyu said, if you don't raise it, you still don't raise it."

In fact, Qiao Yu has no interest in raising children. He himself has not fully grown up yet, and it is entirely for Jing Yan's consideration, so he dryly persuaded: "Raise a child, there are so many things in the palace, and he can eat less. Do you wear it? If you raise it, it will make the world feel at ease."

Jing Yan lowered his brows and closed his eyes, half-closed his eyes, and said with a teasing smile: "This empress has not been formally canonized, but she is still in her boudoir, and she is admonishing my harem political affairs. It can be said to be a great blessing to the people of Li."

Qiao Yu was still serious about reasoning with him, but she couldn't help laughing after hearing this, she raised her head and kissed Jing Yan's chin, kissed again and again, sighed, and pretended to say: "Your Majesty is right, But our Empress Jade is no longer in her boudoir, once she turns 19, she will..."

He originally wanted to make a joke, but unfortunately he was too thin-skinned and didn't say it.

Jing Yan leaned over, hugged Qiao Yu even tighter, almost pressed it into his arms, and then kissed her deeply, until Qiao Yu was almost out of breath, then pressed her fingertips against Qiao Yu's lips, and proceeded slowly. Said: "I recommended myself as a pillow mat, and got into the prince's bed. What did you say, you can play chess with me, you can also sleep with me, you can do anything, I remember, right?"

The corners of Qiao Yu's eyes were blushing, and he didn't know whether it was because he was holding back or because he was ashamed, so he became angry and forced to bring the topic back, "I'm talking about serious things with you! That child's background is really good."

Even with Qiao Yu's silly character, he could tell how suitable that child was to enter the palace.King Xi'an is the younger brother of Emperor Yuande. Because he was young when he seized the throne, he was spared his life. He grew up and was sent out of the palace to become a remote idle king.But he saw Emperor Yuande kill the big emperor brother with his own eyes, and he harbored this secret in his heart. He was so frightened that he couldn't sleep peacefully every day. He passed away not long after getting married, but fortunately he left behind a son.His son was also weak and sick, the fiefdom was barren and cold, and he had the title of idle king, so he could barely make ends meet. It was impossible for a noble daughter from a high-ranking official family to marry, so he married a virtuous and virtuous girl from a small official family.He also had the same fate as his father. Before the child was born, he died first.So the child's relatives before birth were all cut off, and the remaining mother was a petty official in her family, and she couldn't afford to make waves. Now that she is young, she is easy to raise.

Jing Yan was still very careless, "The child is good in everything, except that he was born at the wrong time. If he really wants to raise him, he will grow old and wild in the future. I am not old yet. If I abdicate to let him, I will take it away." His right to raise another one?"

Qiao Yu pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "Ah Ci is right."

Jing Yan smiled lightly, and continued: "This child needs to be raised, but not now, Xiaoyu, don't worry about it. Raising a child is too troublesome, not as easy as raising a kitten and puppy. If you really raise it in the future, At that time, if Xiaoyu likes it, you can take a look and tease it when you are free. If you don’t like it, you can change it. Don’t care about him. I’m alive, you don’t have to look at anyone’s face. If I die, it must be the two of us Burying into the soil, do you still care about what happens after death?"

He has already thought about everything in the future, farther than anyone can think.

Qiao Yu leaned against Jing Yan's chest, heard the other person's heartbeat in his right ear, and his own in the left, and it took him a long time to say, "I know, we have one life, so naturally we live and die together."

He is very afraid of pain and suffering, but he hopes to live hard and live longer, at least a quarter of an hour longer than his Ah Ci.The two experienced death together, and the one who remained was too painful, Qiao Yu was not willing to let Jing Yan try it again.

Qiao Yu only asked Mantian Shenfo and grandmother to fulfill her tiny wish.

Jing Yan hoped that of the two of them, he would be the last one to leave, and he could arrange all the funeral affairs, so that his silly jade would not be left alone in the world to be sad.

And in this way, from birth to death, Qiao Yu never lived without him for a quarter of an hour.

In late autumn, Jing Yan had already dealt with all the obstacles behind Qiao Yufeng, but he still decided not to be satisfied.What he wants is not only no opposition and resistance, but also praise and even liking.

He invited Gu Fengfang to come, and Gu Fengfang resigned again, but she was still old and strong. If she had the energy, she went to the Imperial College to teach, and even taught herself Western languages. new things.

Jing Yan sat on the high seat in the lobby, and when the little eunuch outside said that Gu Fengfang had arrived, he went to the door to greet him, the teacher.

Gu Fengfang didn't kneel down, but just bowed and saluted, not because he was old because of his seniority, but because he was Jing Yan's teacher, if he bowed formally, it would not be in accordance with etiquette.

Jing Yan came to him only for one thing, he wanted Gu Fengfang to personally write the imperial edict for making Qiao Yu queen.Since the founding of the Great Zhou dynasty, if a queen was to be named, two edicts would be issued, one was written by the emperor himself for the queen in order to express his closeness and love.The other is a eulogy written by a highly respected minister in the court to praise the queen's character and represent the admiration of the people all over the world.

Gu Fengfang has been an official for more than 20 years, and has been in charge of scientific examinations for nearly [-] years. Under the door, the teachers and classmates around him, or relatives and friends, must also be inseparable from Gu Fengfang.If he personally wrote the imperial edict for Qiao Yu, scholars all over the world would no longer have a word of slander, only praise together.

Jing Yan went on to say: "Gu has planned to open the customs on that day to welcome the congratulations after the wedding ceremony."

He promised Gu Fengfang to open the customs, and he didn't intend to regret it, but there are too many things involved in how, how, and when to open.

In fact, Gu Fengfang had expected it a long time ago. He was a person who knew Jing Yan's character very well. He said with a wry smile: "If Your Highness really wants the old minister to write, the old minister will not be able to disobey the holy order. It's just that your majesty, your majesty, has been like this since childhood. , get what you want.”

He changed his title. Judging from now, Jing Yan is indeed a good emperor who governs the country, stabilizes the frontiers, and opens up the world. But once he gets tired of being a good emperor, it will be easy for him to become a tyrant, and even more terrifying. No one in this world can stop him.

Jing Yan got up and sat down under Gu Fengfang, seeming to understand Gu Fengfang's unfinished words, "I will make the people of the world live a better life and have enough food and clothing, but my wish, the only one wish, is to get Get what you want."

He paused, then smiled slowly, "Besides, I promised Qiao Yu that he would become a good emperor, as long as he stays with me and looks after me."

Gu Fengfang sighed, he knew that it was not a good thing for the emperor to have deep affection, let alone the fact that the situation was with a man.But up to now, whether it is a blessing or a curse, he is more inclined to be a blessing.

In the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, Gu Fengfang personally presented the booklet and the imperial edict, and made Qiao Yu his queen after Vision Yan ascended the throne.

Gu Fengfang's strength of character is known to everyone in the world, if it's not for his true heart, even if it kills him, he won't write it.

Those civil servants and censors who were still thinking about admonishing him also stopped their thoughts. Mr. Gu wrote the edict for Qiao Yu himself, so what's the use of them stopping him.

In the early spring of the next year, the weather was fine that day, and the peach blossoms were scorching, covering a whole yard.Qiao Yu got up early in the morning with only a dry steamed bun in her stomach, and was being played around by the maids around. She finally got dressed and put on a hair crown, and followed the eunuch who led the way to the altar in a daze.

He didn't see Jing Yan and always felt uneasy.

Under the steps of the altar, civil servants and military generals kneeled on the ground according to the ranks, lowered their heads obediently, and shouted Qiao Yu's title.

Qiao Yu wore a bright red dress, not a woman's long dress, but exactly the same style as Jing Yan, except that it was embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings, red lips and white teeth, black hair and snow skin, and a moon on the sideburns that she wore when she got married. When the flowers are blooming, layers of petals fall on the corners of the eyes, making the eyebrows and eyes more attractive.

Only the emperor and empress can walk the road to the altar.

The eunuch leading the way retreated to one side, Qiao Yu raised his footsteps to walk up, the steps were steep and long, he walked very slowly, for fear of falling, halfway through, he was exhausted and stopped slightly.His sleeves are wide and long, hanging over the steps, like a phoenix spreading its wings, resting here briefly.

Qiao Yu stood on the steps and looked up.There was nothing but an altar, surrounded by colorful flags, and the ground was engraved with dragons and phoenixes intertwined. Jing Yan stood alone on the high platform, surrounded by hunting winds, but he did not waver in the slightest.

At that moment, Qiao Yu thought he saw a god.

But even the gods belong to him alone.

As Qiao Yu thought of this, the timidity in her heart disappeared in an instant, and her courage was filled again.

He walked to the last step of the steps, grabbed Jing Yan's hand extended to him, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "I grabbed your hand again."

After a pause, he solemnly said: "From now on, we will go on together, and we will never be separated again."
