Xia Muyan is not the old emperor.
When he was the crown prince, he naturally had to take his seriously ill old father's feelings into consideration, try his best to follow his will, and not make things difficult for his father.
Now that he is in a high position, he must be more ruthless and decisive. This is his true nature.
Besides, he has the confidence.
With 300,000 troops in hand, he took charge of the government for several months.
Anyone in the court who truly serves the people has already understood that this person will be a rare and wise ruler.
Many people understand that since the new monarch excels in state affairs, the affairs of the harem are just other people's family affairs. Why should they interfere too much?
Lu Yuhang stood among the court officials, watching Xia Muyan's words and actions with a smile, nodding continuously.
This is more like it, this is the dominance that an emperor should have in his mind!
In the evening, Xia Muyan and Li Shushu held a banquet in the palace to see Lu Yuhang off.
Leng Qi went to the border in person not long ago and urgently invited him back. Many matters at the border were waiting for him to decide, so he naturally could not stay in Beijing for too long.
In fact, he did not bring an army of 200,000 this time, but only a small group of personal soldiers.
According to Xia Muyan’s plan, if they were to confront the forces of the Imperial Concubine and General Bai head-on, they would not lose!
But no, he couldn't do that!
No matter who the soldiers belong to, as an emperor, they are all his subjects.
If, because of their selfishness and the struggle for the throne, so many subjects' lives were lost, and the people ultimately suffered, then even if he really came to power, he would have lost!
Fortunately, he had long seen that General Bai Lao and General Bai were not truly treacherous villains, so he came up with the idea of "borrowing arrows from a straw boat", hoping to eliminate the treacherous villains and solve the problem at the lowest cost without bloodshed.
When Lawrence Lu heard his plan, he subconsciously wanted to curse, what a joke, it was simply a joke!
This is clearly gambling with your own future and destiny!
But Xia Muyan still persuaded him!
After all, it would be a waste of money and manpower to send 200,000 troops back from the border, and no one would want to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
In the end, he won the bet and was proved right!
This former good brother, today's good comrade, is deeply impressed by his vision and strategy!
"This is my sister-in-law. I heard that you saved the emperor. I would like to offer you a toast!" Lu Yuhang always had a smile on his face no matter what the occasion. He was very good at adjusting the atmosphere and had the ability to make everyone who came into contact with him feel relaxed instantly.
Little did people know that when he was on the battlefield, he was also the wise and decisive general who killed people without blinking an eye.
"General, you are too kind. Compared with the help you have given to Your Majesty, I am nothing."
Li Shushu was about to raise a glass of wine to return the toast, but was stopped by Xia Muyan, "Shu'er just..., she's not feeling well, so I'll take her place."
After saying that, he also poured Li Shushu a glass of warm water.
"Oh, oh, oh, single guys are really going to be jealous of you!" Lu Yuhang pointed at the two people and teased them while stroking his chest, "Poor humble servant, I am also in my prime, but I always have trouble sleeping alone!"
The term "single dog" does not belong to this dynasty, but for some reason, none of the three of them understand it!
"I understand. Next time the court officials ask me to select a beauty, I will choose a peerless beauty for you and grant you a marriage!" Xia Muyan joked.
"Oh, please spare me. I can't afford those delicate women." Lu Yuhang waved his hands repeatedly.
There was no one else at the scene, and the three of them chatted happily and relaxedly, like old friends who had known each other for many years...
The new emperor has ascended the throne and everything is still to be determined. In fact, Xia Muyan's task is not easy.
The northwest is suffering from drought and needs disaster relief;
If the locust plague in Huainan is not treated in time, it may also affect the livelihood of the people.
However, Xia Muyan handled the situation very well. He first sent capable ministers to provide disaster relief, appease the people, and solve the people's problem of food and clothing.
Then he sent capable people to the northwest to build the Grand Canal, diverting water from the south to the north and from the east to the west, in order to benefit the present and make contributions for future generations.
At first, there was no good way to deal with the locust plague in the south. Until he encouraged people to speak up, a local chef took the initiative to offer a suggestion, saying that the locusts could be fried and made into a delicacy...
Look, people who have been unable to resist the temptation of delicious food for five thousand years seem to have suddenly become enlightened...
Before long, the locusts were eliminated without a trace, and even if you looked for them with a lantern, you couldn't find them!
For a while, the price of locusts also soared.
Since then, there has been another delicacy among the people, which has been passed down since ancient times...
Ever since Li Shushu had a miscarriage, Xia Muyan has worshipped her as a Bodhisattva.
Every day, delicacies, various tonics and bird's nests are delivered to Fengyi Palace like water.
If the previous dynasty had obtained any rare treasures or exotic holy items, Xia Muyan would definitely give them to her to play with as soon as possible.
During this short period of confinement, Li Shushu felt that she had gained weight.
After finally waiting for the confinement period to end, the two of them tacitly prepared to have sex as soon as possible...
