My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2120

In the imperial study.

After Li Ye finished bathing and changing clothes, he turned away the eunuchs and maids on the left and right, leaving only Xiao Dezi waiting in front of the hall.

Walking to the portraits of his grandfather Li Zheng and his father Li Baiyu, Li Ye stared at the portraits of the two former emperors and fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ye showed a bitter smile, picked up three sticks of high incense and lit them to the candle beside him, and slowly inserted them into the incense burner.

Kneeling on the futon and knocking his head a few times, Li Ye slowly stood up.

"The unworthy descendant Li Ye has failed his grandfather and father, and lost his ancestral foundation. He deserves death.

I hope that the ancestors of the Li family have spirits in heaven.
The unworthy descendant Li Ye kowtowed. "

After a few more kowtows, Li Ye's forehead was already flushed.

"Xiao Dezi!"

"Your Majesty, we are here!"

"Is the food and drink ready for you?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is ready, and everything is placed on the dining table."

"Go and wait outside the hall. Without my will, no one is allowed to approach the hall except Uncle Liu Mingzhi."

There was no response from Xiao Dezi in the hall for a long time, and Xiao Dezi's low and choked voice sounded again after a cup of tea.

"We, we, we obey the order!"

"and many more!"

"His Majesty?"

Li Ye got up and adjusted his dragon robe, and walked towards the front of the hall.

Looking at Xiao Dezi who was holding a whisk and standing in front of the hall looking at him with red eyes, Li Ye sighed softly and fumbled a few times in his cuffs.

Li Ye, who usually didn't wear vulgar things on his body, turned around and walked towards the back of the hall with a helpless expression.

A moment later, Li Ye came out with a delicately carved jade pendant in his hand, grabbed Xiao Dezi's hand and stuffed the jade pendant into his palm.

"Your Majesty"

"You have served me instead of Su An for such a long time, and I have not rewarded you for being too busy with government affairs.

This jade pendant is a jade ornament in the tribute palace of the Western Regions. It is worth tens of thousands of gold. I have the dragon pattern pendant passed down from my ancestors, so I don't need it. It is just a plaything at best.

Take it for some money, and find a place to spend the rest of your life after leaving the palace.

You and I are master and servant, I can only help you so much! "

Seeing Li Ye's chuckle, Xiao Dezi knelt down on the ground holding the jade pendant and choked up, "Your Majesty!"

"Get up, why cry, I haven't died yet.

Waiting outside the hall! "

"His Majesty!"

"This is an oral order!"

"Yes. We obey the order!"

Xiao Dezi stood up slowly, and walked towards the outside of the hall while turning his head three times a step at a time.

Li Ye let out a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the back of the hall.

Li Ye grinned as he looked at the dazzling array of food and wine on the dining table in front of the dragon case where the official documents were written.

Since he came to the throne, he usually eats three dishes and one soup, but he has never eaten so many delicious food and wine in his private imperial meal.

Picking up two wine glasses and placing them in their positions, Li Ye filled the pot with wine, then went to the main seat and sat down.

Lifting the wine in the glass and drank it down, Li Ye silently savored the taste of the wine for a moment, then smacked his lips and filled another glass for himself.

Looking at the sparkling wine against the lights, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Li Ye's mouth. With a complicated expression, he took out a paper bag from his cuff and silently unwrapped it, pouring some light gray powder inside into his wine glass among.

After shaking the wine glass lightly, Li Ye sat on the chair and closed his eyes to doze off.

The hall was silent, you could hear the drop of a needle, only the crackling of burning candles from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Dezi's trembling voice sounded from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, please see me side by side."

Li Ye suddenly opened his eyes: "Please!"

"My lord, hey, you."

Before Xiao Dezi had time to agree to Li Ye, Liu Mingzhi was already walking towards the imperial study with a jug in his hand.

"Xiao Dezi, you wait first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Mingzhi walked to the back hall with ease, watched Li Ye who was sitting on the chair, went straight to the opposite chair and sat down, and put the drink on the table.

Glancing at Li Ye on the opposite side, Liu Mingzhi smiled at the dazzling array of food and drink, and directly picked up the chopsticks and started eating venison.

"Life is good, your grandfather, your father seldom eats such a luxurious royal meal on weekdays!"

Li Ye raised his brows, picked up a piece of goose meat with his chopsticks, and began to chew slowly.

"On weekdays, there are three dishes and one soup. It's just that I ordered the imperial dining room to be extravagant just to entertain my uncle."

When the two met, not only did they not feel tit-for-tat, but they also gave people a warm feeling when they chatted about the short stories of these parents.

It didn't look like the atmosphere that should exist when a king of a subjugated country meets a self-established new emperor.

"This venison is a bit bland, and it should be just right when you dip it in some sauce."

"I think my uncle got used to staying in the Northland, and his taste has changed a lot."

"Maybe, the eating habits of the Northland are indeed a bit heavier."

After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass that Li Ye had already filled in advance, looked at it, and directly put it in his mouth and drank it down.

"I haven't seen you for so long, my back is bent, my face has changed a lot, and I have added a little gray hair. Is government affairs so busy?"

Li Ye carried the jug and filled Liu Mingzhi's drink again, and sat back on the chair with a wry smile: "Father is in a hurry, and the child's succession is also careless. I am afraid that I will disappoint the high expectations of my ancestors, so I dare not have it every day." No slack move.

He has been on the throne for three years.

It seems that the boy has never had a good night's sleep since the day he ascended the throne.

Sleeping in the middle of the night and getting up at three o'clock every day, it would be good to be able to sleep for two hours.

Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I feel a little strange looking at the face in the mirror with a little white hair mixed between the temples.

This is still a seventeen or eighteen, is this still what a young boy should look like?
Slowly, Xiao Dezi cautiously and softly reminded the child that His Majesty should go to court early, His Majesty should review the memorial, Your Majesty, it is time to rest.

Hai'er gradually understood that the strange person in the mirror was really Hai'er herself.

Sometimes when I think about it carefully, why did my child become like this! "

Liu Mingzhi drank the wine again, and looked at Li Ye silently.

"Tired?"

"Tired! Tired physically and mentally!
It is easy to be a foolish emperor, but it is really too difficult to be a good emperor.

To put it bluntly, when the second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, and seventh uncle rebelled, the father did not abandon the people in the city and fled in a hurry. Live this boring and exhausting life.

He felt relieved, putting such a heavy burden on my half-old child.

As a father, it is quite irresponsible.

When he was not the emperor, he was the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, helping his grandfather manage the government and supervising the country.

I didn't mean to praise my uncle, the father's teaching of the child was much worse than my uncle's. "

"Your father's love for you, Tao'er, Jingyao, and Zhiyao, the four of you, is no less than any father's love for his children.

It's just due to his status, he is destined to be unable to devote himself to the four of you brothers and sisters like an ordinary father. "

Li Ye lifted the jug and filled Liu Mingzhi with wine, put the jug directly in front of Liu Mingzhi and laughed.

"If you drink more, uncle will just pour the wine himself, the ups and downs are a bit troublesome.

The children my uncle mentioned understand that the moment my father put down the dragon-breaking stone in the secret passage in the palace, the children knew that he was also a perfect father.

So the boy didn't resent him at all. "

Liu Mingzhi drank the wine in one gulp and nodded silently.

"You can understand."

Li Ye stretched his waist, leaned on the chair and silently looked at Liu Mingzhi.

"The third volume of Zhenguoshu, the monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, the country will perish! The powerful ministers are also partisans, not one person, and should not be ignored. Stability of the government should be done.
Therefore, the best policy is to control his heart, the middle policy is to cut down his power, and the bottom policy is to eliminate his party members.

None of the three strategies work, get rid of it!

This is what my uncle dissected to Haier word by word back then, and Haier has been working hard to be a good emperor.

The outcome of today's incident is already obvious. If the child loses, he loses. I don't want to act like a daughter and complain in front of my uncle. I just want to ask my uncle a word.

In order to centralize power and better govern the world.

Did the baby do something wrong? "

Liu Mingzhi paused while drinking, looked at Li Ye silently for a long time and shook his head gently.

"no!"

"call"

Li Ye took a deep breath, looked at Liu Mingzhi with a relaxed expression and laughed.

"With this answer, the child will die in peace!"
