Chapter 72 Just now

After being suppressed and suppressed for more than 20 years, Zhou Huaiyan acted recklessly and even lawless after ascending the throne.

According to ancestral etiquette, it is a disgrace to the royal family for a man to become an empress?

"Which book, which article? Burn it for me!"

The late emperor said that women were not allowed to serve in the army or engage in business?

"I don't like this rule, it's gone!"

After ascending the throne, the emperor must fill his harem and select beautiful women?

"Oh, who proposed it? Let him ask the Queen!"

......

In short, all the rules that Zhou Huaiyan didn't like were abolished, and all the ancient ritual books that Zhou Huaiyan didn't want were burned. No one could force Zhou Huaiyan to do something he didn't want to do!

Oh yes, there is also the morning court session. Who wants to go to court at four or five in the morning?

Zhou Huaiyan was able to get up at nine o'clock, which was already a great courtesy to those ministers.

"But Your Majesty, if the morning court session is too late, the government affairs will be too complicated to handle."

Ever since the Ninth Prince ascended the throne, the palace servants in Qiwu Palace have collectively been upgraded to a higher level. Now Dousha has become the chief eunuch beside the Emperor, and he is very fashionable.

“Tsk…”

Zhou Huaiyan frowned,

"Are all these people just here for nothing? If I have to handle everything, I will be exhausted!"

Therefore, the first thing the new emperor did after ascending the throne was to order the marriage of the King of Zhenbei. Because the matter of conferring the title of queen was very important, it took a month to prepare.

This month, Zhou Huaiyan was so busy that he almost lost his mind. He began to make drastic changes, abolishing hundreds of ancestral rules. Not only did he change the time of the morning court, he also completely renovated the positions and responsibilities of the ministers in the court.

Now he has 500,000 soldiers under his command, and is in charge of the grain and finances of the south, as well as the country's water transportation lifeline. In addition, with the things left by Duke Wei,

Emperor Zhou Huaiyan was probably the most powerful emperor since the founding of the country. He didn't care about royal relatives, nobles, wealthy families, or vassal kings and generals who were more powerful than his master.

Do whatever you want to do. There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with just a few words.

All the female precepts and female virtues should be burned.

All the old emperor's confidants were killed.

All corrupt officials and officials who formed cliques and engaged in private activities in the court, regardless of their rank, were thrown into prison, their property confiscated, and exiled. After confiscating more than a dozen important officials, the national treasury was filled.

In short, once the new emperor's order is issued, anyone who dares not to obey will be punished. Anyone who dares to bend the law for personal gain will be punished together.

For a time, the government and the country were shaken, and everyone was in a panic.

They had never imagined that the dandy prince who they had once considered to be good for nothing would be so ruthless after ascending the throne.

However, at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor, who made countless people tremble with fear, was lying in the Qiwu Palace.

"Zhou Huaiyan!"

The fourth prince, or should we call him the Prince of Yan now, was sitting at his desk, his hand trembling constantly as he held the pen. His handsome face was distorted with anger.

"You are the emperor, why do you want me to review the memorials???"

Zhou Huaiyan thought about it and said with a smile,

"Well, I am the emperor. If I ask you to approve it, you have to approve it."

Zhou Huailing: “….”

I was angry, but I couldn't refute it.

Zhou Huaiyan had thought it all out. He would work hard for two to three years to lay the foundation, divide the court officials into various departments, and carry out assembly line operations to handle government affairs.

As the emperor, he was responsible for controlling the macro direction, setting plans for several years, breaking them down into monthly and annual performance appraisals, and finally setting up some kind of inspection and supervision department to keep an eye on things.

Once this new imperial institution was up and running, Zhou Huaiyan felt relieved. From then on, no one could bother him unless it was something extremely important.

But now, let’s just put pressure on the fourth one first.

"If you criticize it well, it will be like realizing your ideals and doing things for the people!"

The fourth prince: “….”

You are the emperor and I will review the memorials.

Zhou Huaiyan, you are great!

The handsome new emperor was lying lazily, with his shoulders rubbed by the chief palace maid. He was still flipping through a book. The baby was due in four or five months, and he had not yet thought of a name.

Tsk, I’m so worried.

As for Ah Fei, she had recently become fascinated with embroidery, or to be more precise, making clothes for children. However, perhaps because she had used too many swords and halberds, the effect was not very good at first.

However, Big Cat has always been very perseverant and smart in learning things, and now he has become quite good at it. He even made a purse for Zhou Huaiyan, but the dragon on it had a dull expression.

The ceremony of crowning the queen was very grand, and Zhou Huaiyan personally took care of many details. In addition, the person to be married was the King of Zhenbei.

The people below were very careful and cautious in their work, and they handled even the smallest details to perfection.

Today, the King of Zhenbei has made great military achievements and annihilated the foreign races in one fell swoop, expanding the territory of the Great Zhou by hundreds of miles to the north. Naturally, his prestige among the people is incomparable.

There was even a trend of surpassing the Duke of Wei. When the people heard that the emperor was going to marry the King of Zhenbei, their first feeling was absurd and unbelievable, but under Zhou Huaiyan's control, public opinion quickly reversed across the country.

Everything that Jian Kong left behind had already fallen into his hands. Ancient people would believe in something they were originally extremely opposed to, as long as there was a will of heaven, even if it did not conform to common sense.

As for the ministers who opposed it?

Zhou Huaiyan believes that killing a chicken to scare the monkey is a good way to scare others.

On the day of the Queen's coronation ceremony, the Prince of Zhenbei did not wear women's clothes, but men's clothes, but with phoenixes embroidered on them, and the Queen's phoenix crown was also changed to a men's style.

Ah Fei had never thought that she could really marry Zhou Huaiyan. She had originally thought that after the child was born, she would find a fake birth mother as a title.

Or, if he was a little more extravagant, he could pretend to be a woman and be taken into Zhou Huaiyan's harem, which would give the child a legitimate birth.

But he never thought that Zhou Huaiyan had no intention of concealing his identity.

This young and majestic emperor told the world clearly and openly that Zhou Huaiyan married Yun Fei, and they would be husband and wife from now on.

Even if Yun Fei has ordinary alien blood in his body, even if he has lowly blood that is despised by people all over the world.

But the most honorable and closest position beside the emperor was given to him.

Just like what Zhou Huaiyan said back then——

[If Your Highness likes it, what does it matter if I become a slave? ]

Ah Fei originally thought that he might have said such things because he was drunk, or that even though he had such thoughts, he would not carry them out in the end.

After all, there are sons of noble families who like people of humble origins, but there are almost no ones who are truly willing to give up everything and don't care about the other person's origin.

But Zhou Huaiyan just didn't care.

He never told Ah Fei that he liked her, or was in love with her, or anything else that was a promise between lovers.

But when Ah Fei was led to the platform by the other party, he suddenly felt that this way of expression was better than any ten thousand words of love and admiration or so-called love words.

The wedding dresses of the emperor and empress were gilded and decorated with red, which was extremely luxurious and extravagant. The civil and military officials in solemn court dress prostrated themselves before the stage and paid homage.

The Queen's coronation ceremony lasted a whole day. Ah Fei was fine, as this was much easier than fighting a war. However, Zhou Huaiyan was not. He hated these cumbersome rules and etiquette the most. Although he completed all the procedures today, he was exhausted.

The Xuanzheng Hall was burned down, but the new imperial bedroom was still under construction, so their bedroom was still in the Qiwu Palace.

After insisting on returning to the bedroom and completing the last procedure, Zhou Huaiyan collapsed directly on the bed.

Too tired.

It turns out that marriage is the most tiring thing.

Fortunately, it's only a one-time marriage. And I don't have to attend court in the next few days, so I have a wedding leave.

very nice.

But even if he was so tired, the clean little emperor still had to take a bath. Except when there was no condition in the North, Zhou Huaiyan would take a bath before going to bed.

It's not a cleanliness freak, I just like cleanliness.

Hot water is always available in Qiwu Palace, but today is the day for the Emperor and Empress to get married, so the palace servants were particularly tactful and left.

So Zhou Huaiyan was too lazy to ask anyone to come in and serve him, as he had already learned how to put on and take off these cumbersome ancient clothes.

But the wedding dress was more complicated, and Zhou Huaiyan took a long time to untie it.

"Your Majesty, I will serve you."

"......?"

Zhou Huaiyan was stunned. It was fine to hear Ah Fei call herself a minister, but the term "concubine" was too strange. The young emperor frowned.

"No need to change the name, just call me what I used to call you."

"good."

Ah Fei lowered her head and responded softly,

"Brother Huaiyan."

He untied the emperor's belt with great skill.

Zhou Huaiyan: “….”

Although he didn't mean that, it doesn't matter.

Because Zhou Huaiyan always has the upper hand when arguing with others, but when facing Ah Fei, ever since the other party grew from a kitten to a big cat, Zhou Huaiyan has never won even once in their verbal disputes.

Whether it is a verbal dispute in an abstract sense or in a physical sense.

Ah Fei slowly helped him take off his crimson wedding gown. Zhou Huaiyan seemed to be particularly suited to this particularly bright color, which made his delicate eyebrows and eyes look even more gorgeous and beautiful.

However, the bright red wedding dress did not look vulgar on him. Instead, because of the emperor's special cool temperament and silent majesty, it exuded a sense of dignity and magnificence.

Ah Fei's gaze slowly fell on the emperor's lips. Zhou Huaiyan resembled his mother, with beautiful lips and full lips, which were extremely kissable.

However, the young emperor did not notice the other party's overly scorching gaze. He was just waiting to take off his clothes and take a bath.

The water rippled, and Zhou Huaiyan sat in the familiar warm water again. His jade-white skin gradually became stained with red because of the moist and warm water vapor.

"A Fei wants to take a bath with Brother Huai Yan."

"......"

Zhou Huaiyan felt that this development was not right, but at this moment, the other party had already walked into the pool wearing a layer of snow-white pajamas. Zhou Huaiyan felt the man's hand on his shoulder and looked up.

"...Stop it."

"Your Majesty, Ah Fei doesn't want to just have her hands today."

He sat on the emperor's lap. The water level rose due to the entry of the male queen.

Zhou Huaiyan subconsciously supported the man's waist. He knew the final outcome, but he still couldn't help but make a slight struggle.

"...you're over five months old."

The handsome man nodded, then moved closer, his moist breath falling on the emperor's ear.

"Yes, in two months, even my hands won't be allowed."

The low, moist voice is like a lover's whisper,

"Just in time, now."

“.......”

Faced with the Queen's usual insults, the handsome new Emperor was speechless.

Ah Fei turned her head and moved closer to his lips, but subtly kept a little distance between them. She wanted Zhou Huaiyan to take the initiative.

"Brother Huaiyan, can you kiss Ah Fei?"

"......"

There was silence in the bathroom for a moment, and then, amid the rippling sound of water, there was a lingering scent.
