After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Yuxiu's dark eyes, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "I dare not."

His voice was calm, without a trace of fear.

Ye Qinghuai looked at his upright figure kneeling on the ground for a while, then asked, "Lin Qing, what are you asking for?"

Lin Yuxiu raised his eyes, but did not meet Ye Qinghuai's gaze.

"I have written down all my requests in the policy paper and presented it to Your Majesty."

What he wanted was the idea of ​​governing the country with the people as the foundation and a stable country, and a peaceful world with peace and tranquility. Ye Qinghuai knew this better than anyone else.

But that's not what she was asking.

"I'm asking you about yourself. What are you seeking for yourself?" Ye Qinghuai interrupted Lin Yuxiu's argument, "Three thousand years of history has been nothing more than fame and fortune. Since ancient times, emperors have worked hard to govern the country, military generals have expanded territory, and civil officials have governed the country and maintained peace. In the final analysis, if it's not for power and wealth, then it's for a good name that will be passed down through the ages in history. However, those who love money cherish their lives, and those who love fame are noble. You don't cherish your life, and you don't have any nobleness, so what are you seeking?"

Lin Yuxiu raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai, his handsome eyes sparkling with bright light.

"Your Majesty, the world is bustling with people, all for profit; the court is busy with people, all for fame. I am a layman, and what I seek is no different from the world's. However, for me, when it comes to profit, I should consider the benefit of the world, and when it comes to fame, I should seek fame that will last forever. The reform will benefit future generations, and if it succeeds, even if I die or am abused by others, what does it matter?"

Ye Qinghuai looked at him with some admiration in his eyes: "You have the determination to sacrifice yourself for the Dharma, very good. I have the same determination. You don't have to protect me and let me stand clean on the dry shore. Although I have only been an adult for one year and am younger than you, I am not a simple child who grew up innocently in the deep palace. My hands have long been stained with human lives."

She looked down at her outstretched hands, and the faces of those who had died in her hands during the Chengtian Gate Palace Incident seemed to appear before her eyes.

"The chief priest once told me that since ancient times, the military and politics have been inseparable. War is bloody politics, and politics is bloodless war. The change of power is always accompanied by conspiracy and blood. I am a descendant of Confucius like you, and I learned loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. I also want to be an upright and wise king. But if the way of a gentleman doesn't work, I can also give up everything. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, and I don't even mind dying to prove my truth, as long as I can achieve my goal."

Lin Yuxiu shook his head: "Your Majesty is different from me. Since ancient times, there have only been ministers who died to prove their principles, but no emperors who died to prove their principles."

He looked at Ye Qinghuai, his expression was no longer cold, there was some longing and expectation in his eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of worry.

For a moment, Ye Qinghuai suddenly thought of Qin Baozhu.

She once looked at Ye Qinghuai with such eyes.

"I just want you to know that my determination is no less than yours."

"I understand your majesty's determination. However, there can be many wise ministers and good generals in the world, but there can only be one emperor. If I am gone, your majesty still has Jijiu, Senior Brother Lu, Jiang Qiancheng, and countless ministers who care about the world and can be led by your majesty. But your majesty... there is only one emperor."

Lin Yuxiu paused and continued, "As the Son of Heaven, your every move will subtly influence the entire country. The King of Wu likes swordsmen, so the people have many scars. The King of Chu likes thin waists, so many people in the palace starve to death. If your Majesty disregards etiquette and laws, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, in the eyes of your subjects, your Majesty must maintain the image of a benevolent and moral monarch."

Ye Qinghuai sighed silently.

Lu Yanchen had said this to her more than once when he was still the emperor's teacher.

Ye Qinghuai also understood that from the day she ascended the throne, she was no longer just Ye Qinghuai. She was first a queen and an emperor, and then she could be herself.

But in the past, she didn't have any real feelings, or didn't feel any pressure because of it.

Because in the court, she was a dispensable and transparent person, and no one paid attention to her words and deeds. But after the turbulent personnel changes in the capital this year, no one can ignore the emperor's presence in this power struggle.

Correspondingly, more and more eyes fell on Ye Qinghuai.

There were those who were curious, those who expected, those who were tentative, and those who were peeping. Amidst these gazes with different intentions, Ye Qinghuai gradually understood what it meant to "be the emperor first, and then be yourself".

She must be careful with her words and actions.

Most of the officials in the imperial court had gone through many years of imperial examinations. Among the imperial examinations, one of the most important aspects was reading comprehension.

Those who can stand out in the scientific examinations have reading comprehension abilities that are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After finally escaping from the nightmare of the imperial examinations, they entered the officialdom and needed to cultivate another crucial skill - observing people's words and expressions.

It can be said that most ministers who are qualified to appear in front of Ye Qinghuai are not bad at observing people's words and expressions.

Therefore, in the eyes of a person who is good at observing people's expressions and reading comprehension, a small move of the emperor may lead to a large and complex inference in his mind.

Ye Qinghuai gradually felt that this golden throne was not only a symbol of nobility, but also a shackle.

"I will be careful about my words and actions. I will not do things that are not worthy of being mentioned in public. But it is not your turn to do it." Ye Qinghuai looked at Lin Yuxiu with a smile in his eyes. "There is only one Suihe Emperor in this world, but similarly, there is only one Lin Yuxiu."

Lin Yuxiu's expression was somewhat moved, and then he seemed to have thought of something and lowered his eyes again. After a while, he asked: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is Your Majesty seeking?"

Ye Qinghuai was stunned by his question.

She had never thought about it.

  What does she ask for?

Ye Qinghuai lowered his eyes.

This question confused her for a while when she woke up after rebirth.

She didn't know why she was reborn.

It is said that after a person dies, if he has unfulfilled wishes or resentments in his life, he will not be able to be reborn.

But she asked herself if she had any obsession.

Although she died tragically in her previous life, she knew this day would come when she ascended the throne as a woman, so she had no resentment. As for other people and things, there was nothing that made her greedy and obsessed.

But after a year of rebirth, Ye Qinghuai gradually felt that perhaps God was not giving her a chance to start over, but was giving Dajing a chance to start over.

The ancestors of the Ye family were watching her, and the people of the Nine Provinces were watching her. No matter how she sat on the throne, since she was sitting here, she had to be a good emperor.

"I don't seek fame, nor do I covet profit." Ye Qinghuai raised his head and looked at Lin Yuxiu, his eyes deep and firm, "I just want to have a clear conscience." (End of this chapter)
