Seeing him in such a miserable state, the court officials sighed.

If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

Emperor Qixuan curled the corner of his mouth sarcastically, and then spoke slowly.

"Since it is a personal gift from the late emperor, I will certainly agree to it. However, I can avoid the death penalty, but I cannot escape the punishment of living!"

"Issue an order to exile Bai Shiche to the border immediately. For the rest of his life, he is not allowed to leave the border without an imperial decree!"

Bai Zi slammed his head to the ground, his voice choked with sorrow, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

It's good enough if I can save a life.

Maybe it's not so bad? After all, the Queen Mother watched Sche grow up, maybe she can still take care of him? "Dismiss!"

After Emperor Qixuan finished speaking, he stood up and left.

…

Imperial Study

After drinking a cup of herbal tea, Emperor Qixuan barely suppressed his anger.

He looked at Censor Zhou and said, "Compensate those two families well."

After saying this, he lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

Bai Si Che should have paid with his life, but in order to get back the death-free gold ticket, he had to...

After receiving the order, Censor Zhou consoled him, "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I went to see that the two families talked about money every time, and they didn't seem to be very sad. I think they just want more compensation."

Emperor Qixuan nodded slightly, then waved his hand and asked him to leave.

After calming down, he looked at the person sitting on the crane chair and drinking tea leisurely.

"Grandmaster, why didn't you discuss with me before accepting Yaoyao as your disciple? At the very least, you should have informed me first, right?"

Old Tutor Zhou put the teacup on the table with a click and stroked his beard.

"Whether it's early or late, Your Majesty still knows, right?"

Emperor Qixuan: ...Is that the same thing? He said helplessly: "Then have you ever thought about how I should deal with my daughter becoming my junior sister in the future?"

Hearing this, Old Master Zhou paused stroking his beard and looked at him sharply.

"When the late emperor asked me to teach Your Majesty, he never worried about these things."

The corner of Emperor Qixuan's mouth twitched slightly.

Yes, this person in front of me once taught my father.

After that, the old lady looked thoughtful and nodded slightly, "But what you said makes sense."

"That's right."

Emperor Qixuan stood up and prepared to go over and have a good talk with him.

"The little princess is a girl after all. She can't be as thick-skinned as you. If someone talks about her, she will probably cry."

Hearing this, Emperor Qixuan's mouth twitched and he sat down angrily again.

The old master glanced at him with disdain, "What a hassle!"

"How about this, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and I am just an ordinary man. I cannot be your master. From now on, you and I don't have to call each other master and disciple anymore."

After saying this, the old tutor stood up with the help of his dragon-headed cane, took square steps, and walked away.

Emperor Qixuan: ...

He picked up the teacup, waved it at the old tutor's back, then put it down helplessly.

I'm so angry! So I was expelled from the sect? !

It's outrageous! At this time, Su Maowen came in with a tray and presented the things.

"Your Majesty, this was just brought back from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion."

There was a box on the tray. After it was opened, a piece of gold-plated iron appeared in front of the two.

Emperor Qixuan stood up and walked over, picked up the thing and looked at it, his expression was very complicated with excitement and disgust.

That's it!

Such a small piece of iron has made him sleepless for years! It would be fine if Pingyang Hou was a good person.

But Bai Zi is simply a disaster!

He casually threw it up, drew out the sword with a clang, and swung it twice in the air.

Su Maowen only vaguely felt a flash of cold light before his eyes.

Seeing this, a carefree smile broke out on Emperor Qixuan's face, and he exhaled heavily.

"The mess left by Grandfather and Father has finally been solved!"

Hearing this, Su Maowen lowered his head even deeper.

Emperor Taizu left behind the Murong clan as a source of trouble, and even the previous emperor failed to eradicate it.

But His Majesty did it! There is also the King of Canaan, the Xiao family that is too powerful to be eliminated, and the Marquis of Pingyang...

Speaking of which, Emperor Taizu and the previous emperor were really...

Alas, this is not something that a servant like him can discuss.

It really makes things difficult for their Majesty.

After solving his troubles, Emperor Qixuan suddenly thought of the little guy who was not in the court but caused a huge storm in the court.

"Su Maowen!"

Su Maowen bowed and replied, "The servant is here."

The coldness on Emperor Qixuan's face faded away, and a warm look appeared on his face. "Tell me, what is Yaoyao doing right now?"

"This..." Su Maowen raised his head and glanced outside, "I guess the little princess is having breakfast now?"

Hearing this, Emperor Qixuan chuckled and pointed at him.

"You, you always say nice things."

It's almost noon now, the little guy must not have woken up yet.

What kind of breakfast is this?

Su Maowen smiled and replied, "The princess is still young and in the process of growing up, so it's reasonable for her to sleep a little longer."

Emperor Qixuan nodded, then laughed with evil humor, as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

"Yeah, just go to sleep. She won't have the time to sleep in from now on!"

When he thought of the Taifu's dragon-headed cane, he felt a chill on his back.

Being my junior sister is not that easy! As long as he thought about the little girl in the future, he would be spanked by the Grand Tutor like he was when he was a child, Emperor Qixuan felt very happy.

With this in mind, he reviewed the memorials much faster.

…

Qionghua Palace

Chu Yaoyao's long eyelashes trembled, and she noticed that her host showed signs of waking up, and the system came online.

System: It has been detected that the host's blood relatives are rectifying the administration, and the counterattack progress is rewarded with +3. The current progress is 95, the reward points are 15, and the current point balance is 233.

"Um?"

Chu Yaoyao stretched out her chubby little hands and rubbed her confused big eyes.

"What's going on?"

System: The host still remembers that in the middle of the novel, when Chu Yao took over Daqi, several rebellions broke out in less than half a year.

[I remember, it was because the phenomenon of buying and selling official positions was particularly serious at that time! ]

Chu Yaoyao pursed her lips and her face became serious.

The position of a county magistrate is priced at three thousand taels!

After those wealthy businessmen spent money to buy official positions, in order to make dozens or hundreds of times their money back, they used their power to exploit and oppress the people even more severely!

Coupled with the constant natural disasters and wars, the people suffered terribly and could not survive any longer, so they had no choice but to rebel...

"Is Yao'er awake?"

The voice of her own mother came, interrupting her memories.

Chu Yaoyao responded, "Mother!"

The Imperial Concubine opened the door and walked in.

Looking at the little guy with a red face sleeping, I felt like my heart was about to melt into a pool of water.

She pinched the chubby little face and helped to tidy up the soft and frizzy hair that was frizzed up by sleep.

The Imperial Concubine's expression suddenly became serious.

"Did you forget something?"
