The Queen rarely punished anyone, but now she was furious, and they could sense some of His Majesty's influence.
The court was silent. Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty, your servants are worried about your Majesty. Now your Majesty's life or death is uncertain. May I ask how the Queen plans to solve this problem?" A civil official stepped forward and asked.
Li Yuan gripped the armrest tightly and said, "Wait. The grassland is vast. The deeper Your Majesty goes, the slower the news will be. General Kang, have the Southwest Army follow orders and dispatch to the Northwest. If there is no news after ten days, send reinforcements immediately. Even if it means razing the grassland to the ground, we must find Your Majesty."
"I obey your command!" Kang Baiyu said with a fist salute.
The days of waiting were the most agonizing. When ten days passed and there was still no sign of the messenger arriving from the roads leading to and from the capital, Li Yuan wrote the imperial edict. He clenched his fingers as he put down his pen. Just as he was about to pick up the imperial seal and put it on, the sound of galloping horses echoed from the palace: "Great victory in the northwest, great victory! The entire Ma Wei clan has been exterminated. Your Majesty will return to court soon."
Hearing the report, Li Yuan's mind relaxed and he almost dropped the jade seal.
When the soldiers entered the hall, he immediately stepped down from his esteemed position to greet them: "Is the great victory in the northwest true?"
"Your Highness, it's absolutely true!" the soldier knelt and said, "Your Majesty has won a great victory."
"That's great..." Li Yuan stood there quietly, crying with joy.
The court officials had never seen the queen so excited, and when they saw her at this moment, they all had mixed emotions.
I don't know where the person is, and my longing for him/her grows stronger day by day. Now that I know he/she is coming back soon, I feel so anxious that it seems like he/she can burst out at any time.
Li Yuan tossed and turned in bed, calculating that the army would set out for the capital tomorrow. He just felt that the night was very long. Why was it still so late at night?
Just when she was half asleep, she felt a slight itch on her face, and a feeling of warmth. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, only to see the surprise in the man's eyes in the moonlight outside the window.
Lin Su was startled by the sudden sitting up. He had only come to see the little queen, but he had not expected that the queen would not be as drowsy as usual when she woke up. Instead, she was so clear-headed that she seemed to be able to jump up and down at any time. "Did I wake you up?"
Li Yuan shook his head and looked at him eagerly. After confirming that it was him, he hugged him and said, "You're back!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. I haven't changed my clothes yet, and I smell of blood and mud." Lin Su knew that it would be difficult to maintain contact with the news if he went deep into the grassland, and the little queen must be anxious. After leaving the grassland, he ordered a general to reorganize the soldiers, and he rushed back with his personal soldiers just to see her as soon as possible.
"It's okay, as long as you're okay." Li Yuan didn't care about the blood and mud. He just felt satisfied in his life when he saw people.
It turns out that he has become so dependent on this person without knowing when.
Lin Su smiled and hugged the person, saying, "You still say you're not young, but you're still as clingy as a three-year-old."
The man's body did smell of blood and mud. Li Yuan could feel it while holding him, but the mud showed how much suffering he had endured. The clanging of swords on the battlefield seemed to be brought into this bedroom with this smell, but this smell was reassuring.
"You said yourself that I'm younger than you, so of course I should stick to you." Li Yuan even rubbed his legs against her. He was wearing snow-white underwear, but he didn't stop even though his underwear was rubbed dirty.
"Okay, okay, anyway, I have changed from a little white cat to a little calico cat. I want to wash up. Does the Queen want to go with me?" Lin Su stood up and hugged the person.
Li Yuan leaned on his shoulder and nodded, "We can't waste water."
You don’t have to imagine what the shower ended up like. Lin Su took off his light armor and changed into soft casual clothes. Li Yuan wiped his long hair and provided very thoughtful service.
06 could only see the aftermath, and while observing this scene, he asked: [Host, did you really not do this on purpose?]
With the host's strength, it would be easy to wake up the queen.
[If it wasn't intentional, wouldn't it be a waste for me to gallop faster?] Lin Su said, twisting Li Yuan's drooping hair.
The little queen was as flamboyant as a pearl when she was young, but now she is a little more reserved, more like a beautiful jade.
06 I think what the host said makes sense: [So not changing clothes was intentional? ]
[This young man is teachable.] Lin Su said with a smile.
Since he has suffered, he must let the other party know something about it. It is not his style to bear it alone.
If he knew you, the host, had intentionally disturbed his sleep, he would definitely not react the way he did now. 06 analyzed.
Lin Su sighed: [I can’t carry it.]
06: [……]
Li Yuan felt his movement, smiled softly, touched his chin and said, "Your Majesty must be in a hurry to march, he didn't even clean up his stubble."
"Can I ask the Queen to take care of this matter?" Lin Su asked.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Of course you can."
He moved his fingers slightly, but was held by Lin Su. He heard him ask, "Which is more important, seeing me or having a good night's sleep?"
"Seeing you is more important." Li Yuan said without hesitation, "How can I sleep well if I don't see Your Majesty?"
06 I feel like it will never find a matching system and it really can’t be used.
The whole country celebrated His Majesty's return to court, but the court officials inevitably felt a little ashamed when they saw Li Yuan. However, these officials were not the kind of people who would hide their mistakes.
With Minister Zhao at the head, they submitted petitions one after another. Lin Su read them to Li Yuan: "We, the ministers, have judged the minds of noble men with our own petty minds. We are truly ashamed..."
"Since they know they are wrong, I am not the kind of person who would care about it." Li Yuan also knew the situation at that time. If he were in the position of a court official, he would definitely not believe him. Since they knew they were wrong, there was no need to hold on to it.
"The Queen is magnanimous, but I am petty." Lin Su waved at him and whispered something when Li Yuan leaned over. Li Yuan looked at him in shock and said, "Do you really want to do it now?"
"Let's do it now. The world has been settled, and it's time to act after years of planning. I think this will give these ministers a headache for a while." Lin Su said with a smile.
Li Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide."
"Don't you blame me for leaving Chen'er the throne without much real power?" Lin Su asked.
Li Yuan held his hand and said, "The throne of an emperor is not a place for pleasure. Even His Majesty, who is so intelligent, has to work hard, let alone Chen'er. He will live a better life if power is transferred to others."
Others envy the emperor, but they don’t know that too much centralization means too much responsibility.
In the 27th year of the Xin Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty was reformed and called a constitutional monarchy. A parliament was established, a prime minister was elected, and new laws were made on the basis of the original laws. The emperor was truly under the law.
