Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 148

After eating some simple and sweet pastries, he and Siqin Mi walked out of the palace and participated in the banquet. All the officials had already entered the venue, waiting for Zhuang Xun's arrival.

Zhuang Xun continued to be led by the maid, and slowly walked up to the throne. Si Qinmi knelt and sat beside him, shrouded in a veil. Zhuang Xun raised his hand with some regret.

"The dinner is on," the etiquette officer promised.

The officials just started to eat the food and wine in front of them. It was a little cold, but they ate it with gusto. The implication was probably that eating the Wang family's food showed acceptance of the Wang family's salary. It was just that the food was a little cold. Even if it tasted bad, it still tasted good. Thank you Wang En and express my pleasure to eat your food.

It's really just sitting and watching people eating, with the pearls in front of them covering the entire face. It would be very rude to lower one's head to eat or lift the pearls, let alone the pearls touching the food.

The main theme is mutual torture. If it weren't for the fact that he could hold Siqin Miyu's hand and play with it, Zhuang Xun would have been bored to death.

The civil servants and generals who were observing him with their eyes would avoid each one with just a glance, without stopping to watch. Too much time would put pressure on them.

He only smiled when he saw familiar faces, such as Luo Yuecheng and Huang Xi, two fools. He stopped again when he remembered that Han Feizi's monarchs should not express their joy or anger in public.

The factions are also quite messy. There are the original ministers of You Kingdom, the ministers who are now rehabilitated after being persecuted by King You, and the ministers brought by Zhuang Xun from Jiannan. The officials brought from Jiannan need to learn to adapt. They cannot start from the beginning. Let them be in high positions.

It's quite complicated, and it's hard to say whether it's loyalty or not. After all, it's She Tun Xiang who occupies most of the country of You. There are no leadership figures in the country of You, so Zhuang Xun can succeed.

If people like Nie Xu were there, there might be some capable clan members, and the original veterans might still have the intention of supporting them. In order to unite the country's destiny to deal with the possible coming stars, and to prevent those people who are protected by the country's destiny from rebelling, Nie Jin had already killed them all.

Zhuang Xun is like Liu Bang who destroyed the Qin State. He has gained natural legitimacy and can legitimately rule the You State in the name of slaying demons.

She didn't know if she wanted to thank Nie Jin. When she hugged Bi Yuewu to sleep at night, Bi Yuewu told her about her original plan for Youguo, and that she would focus on the weak points with her punches. After hearing this, Zhuang Xun felt a chill down his spine. If this is the case, it’s hard to say who belongs to Jizhou.

If Nie Jin had not instigated the war, the country of Yu would have been peaceful and quiet, and there would have been no death of Siqin Mi, and he would still be the accountant. Perhaps he would have followed Mrs. Jiang to the country of Cheng, become a little wealthy, and marry a pretty person. His wife was most likely He Tan who was forcibly raped by the He family and his wife, and then continued westward to the State of Zhao, settled down, gave birth, and waited for death.

The Battle of Yuyou changed the fate of too many people. Siqin Shengjing was ruined and Siqin Mi was killed, so Zhuang Xun was favored by Mrs. Jiang and promoted Xiaolian.

Li Pingyuan became famous in one battle and forced the Chengguo Prime Minister Gao Guozhou to kill him. He completely forced the loyal Li Pingyuan to rebel, forcing Li Pingyuan to usurp.

The 60 million troops of You Kingdom were ruined, making Nie Jin unable to suppress the various clans and the thoughts of the feudal officials. In the end, he was killed and his clan was wiped out.

There is no greater butterfly effect than this. Of course, Zhuang Xun would not really thank him. Nie Jin had himself to blame. Taking good care of his mother was the greatest thank you.

I didn't see Li Rusi. After all, she was in the harem. It would be bad to appear on such an occasion. It was a pity to be absent from the reward.

Most emperors may enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by stars surrounding the moon. Although they are all eating, their eyes are still fixed on Zhuang Xun, like stars guarding the Beidou. However, Zhuang Xun has little interest and does not feel any special sense of satisfaction.

Maybe it's a work mentality. If there's anything to say, do it directly. He's not in the mood to meander around. He's an engineering man who pursues efficiency.

I just want to take off this instrument of torture quickly, go back to bed and lie down happily, lying flat, but the emperor and the king are the pinnacle of politics.

Almost all political activities revolve around him, such as this banquet, the meal time lasts for half an hour, no more or less.

Stay for half an hour to listen to the ministers singing their praises, reward each meritorious official with property, encourage them to continue serving the country, and see their expressions of gratitude and smiles of approval to express encouragement.

At the same time, the ceremonial officer praised the achievements of each official during this period, such as the military exploits of He Heng, Huang Xi and others, as well as the political achievements of civil servants in governing the government.

There was no favoritism or favoritism, just a matter of fact, and rewards for merit, that's all, rewards and punishments are clear, those who should be punished have already gone to jail, or gone home.

It wasn't until those who deserved to be rewarded were rewarded that the ceremony came to an end and then moved to the harem.

Accepting the harem's worship and recognition of the king's identity, there was no harem in the first place, so Zhuang Xun felt that there was no need for Si Qinmi to bother with it.

Si Qinmi, Li Rusi, and Yunyin Zhihua are officially established as personal servants. They will be promoted to higher ranks when they have children. As for Bi Yuewu, Zhuang Xun has not thought of giving her any position until now. , fortunately she didn’t mention it either.

Speaking of which, there were three or four people who were all very familiar to each other. Those in the palace had experienced the attack of the demon clan and many people had died, not to mention the concubines.

Until he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure, Zhuang Xun thought he had seen it wrong, but suddenly he thought that he was right. The country of You was destroyed, Xuannv agreed to resurrect He Tan, and now He Tan is alive.

Led by the queen, she raised her movements meticulously, and then knelt down. She didn't pay much attention to her body before, but she didn't expect that it had grown a lot and she already had the air of a mother.

Because there was no real death, Lan Qiu used the Soul-fixing Jade at that time, so it has been growing, but now it has only grown for another two years.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever." With a straight face, he didn't want to be looked down upon, so he naturally had to follow all the etiquette.

"Okay, get up and make some fancy things. Sister Tan, come here." Zhuang Xun was also tortured by this instrument of torture. He couldn't move and could only ask He Tan to come over.

"When you grow up, it will happen when." Zhuang Xun put his hand on her face naturally, and showed a relaxed smile. Because there was a maid, it was hard to say whether he would be resurrected or not.
Jiannan is safer, and the family members have been kept in Jiannan. Now the situation in Hengdu has been basically stabilized, and it is already being built into a new base. It is reasonable and reasonable to take over the female family members at this time.

"After annihilating Youyou, the real person rescued my concubine. Then he continued to adapt to his body and did not look for the prince. When he arrived in Hengdu a few days ago, the queen sister said that he wanted to give you a surprise, so he did not report to the prince." He Tan apologized. His expression makes his originally well-behaved character feel more rounded.

"Big surprise, Brother He knows about it. Don't come to me first and forget about Brother He." Zhuang Xun pinched He Tan's face, feeling that it was not easy to say that he had been pulling with her for so long.

"Father naturally knows that I went with my mother, and then I learned the etiquette with the queen sister, and I am waiting to meet the prince today." He Tan knelt down in front of Zhuang Xun and lay on his lap.

"Am I the last one to know about the co-authorship?" Zhuang Xun said with a smile. Other kings would probably not be surprised when encountering this situation, but Zhuang Xun was different. He grabbed He Tan's cheek to feel her reality.It's not a ghost, it's alive. The things that the underworld couldn't solve, Empress Xuannu solved, and solved a knot in Zhuang Xun's heart.

This knot has lingered in Zhuang Xun's heart for a long time. He always felt sorry for the He family. Now he is feeling much better and it is over.

"I don't know, I don't know. It's not just my husband. I just saw Sister Tan today. When she entered our house, I wanted to call you husband. Your Majesty is so lucky." Li Rusi came forward and sat down. On the other side of Zhuang Xun, he was smiling happily. Zhuang Xun's heart knot was not her heart knot.

So her attitude towards He Tan was extremely cordial, and there was probably some sense of compensation. Her impulse to rescue her parents' family caused a series of subsequent events, and now they have finally been resolved perfectly.

"Mr. Sir." The girl hugged Zhuang Xun's leg and shouted a little shyly.

"Well, get up and sit in my arms. I haven't seen you for a long time and you have become shy again. Weren't you very outspoken and bold before? You can also build a bridge between me and the real person." Zhuang Xun is no longer as resistant as before. He acted like a gentleman before, but in fact he just felt guilty and disliked him. After dealing with He Tan's ghost, he is much better now.

"Lang Jun, please stop talking. It's all the real person's self-thinking and has little to do with me. I just serve as a reminder." He Tan sat in Zhuang Xun's arms and looked at Zhuang Xun. Jiu Qiaomian, let's put aside the relationship.

Seeing Zhuang Xun climb up to the position of king, she was still shocked. When she first heard about it, she was still Xiaolian, then deputy envoy of Jiedu, then envoy of Jiedu, and now he climbed directly to the position of king. It was so fast that she even I feel like I don’t recognize Zhuang Xun anymore.

"I know, the real person has a clear conscience. He said good things about you when we got along with me." Zhuang Xun put his arms around her waist, but unfortunately he couldn't get close to her face.

"Oh, it's done. Please help me take off the instrument of torture. I'm exhausted." Zhuang Xun called out due to various inconveniences.

"Come here, I can't bear to take it off for a moment, so you find it troublesome." Si Qin Mi smiled, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, he didn't think Zhuang Xun was lazy, but felt that Zhuang Xun was free and easy, with a fresh and refined beauty.

"They couldn't bear to part with the power represented by these clothes." Zhuang Xun breathed a sigh of relief when Si Qinmi took off his crown.

"You don't like power?" Si Qin Mi rolled his eyes at Zhuang Xun.

"Like it, it's just a matter of degree. If you take it too seriously, you will ignore many things. For example, you, so what if I created a great cause for eternity. If I can't take care of my family and my relationship is stiff, then what's the point of my life?" At this time, Zhuang Xun stood up and raised his legs, and Li Rusi helped him take off his boots.

"This country is not your home, you are the head of this family." After putting the crown away, Si Qinmi turned around and saw He Tan struggling to untie her belt, and stepped forward to help her.

"Only in a small family can we have everyone. I can't take care of my own family. Saying that I sacrificed for everyone is a bit too broad. The ancients said that cultivating one's morality, harmonizing one's family, and governing the country bring peace to the world. I feel that as a king, I naturally have the responsibility to govern the country. Accompany me You must also have responsibilities. Am I also your husband? Both extremes are undesirable."

After finishing this paragraph, Zhuang Xun thought for a moment and then said: "There is also the issue of trust. I often see in some books that kings treat their wives and concubines with every possible precaution. I think it would be very sad if power turns us into this. Yes, although I can understand it."

Zhuang Xun put on a pair of slippers that Li Rusi handed him and stood up, spreading his arms. He was used to his wife and wife changing his clothes, which highlighted his degradation.

"It's incredible that you trust us like this, okay? Being on guard is the right thing to do, it's the norm. You trust us like this, and you're being ignored. You're not allowed to do what you want. Fame and wealth cannot be borrowed from others, even if it's intimacy." couple."

Si Qinmi admonished Zhuang Xun and told him not to show his heart to everyone. He made a bold idea and asked Zhuang Xun, who was unsuspecting, to be more cautious.

"Well, you have ignored me, and I feel that this world is meaningless. Will you ignore me, madam?" Zhuang Xun turned around and took off his imperial robe.

"Yes, I will raise you in the palace and give birth to an heir with other women every day. Your bloodline is weak, and you can't take other people's children to raise them. It's very sad." Si Qinmi fixed Zhuang Xun's hair and said, Li Rusi helped Zhuang Xun Put on regular clothes. It's winter and I'm afraid he'll get cold.

This is the secret message of Zhuang Xun and Siqin Mi, because last time they went to the underworld, the King of Reincarnation said that Zhuang Xun's fertility problem could be solved by becoming king. Now that Zhuang Xun has been canonized as king, will he be able to have sex later? The branches and leaves are scattered.

"It's really scary. Then what are you doing?" Zhuang Xun took He Tan's little hand and walked to the nearest dining table to sit down and took a bowl of soup from Si Qin Mi.

Knowing that he was hungry, he cooked a small stove for him after the banquet. Before, it was a state banquet for the officials, but now it is a family banquet for the concubines. However, he does not have a harem, so there is no need to divide the table.

"Eat more. Sister Li made it for you. She loves you more than I do. Sister Tan also went to help. As for me, I will naturally rule this country for you and make it prosperous. You are the head of the family. , I am the mistress of this family."

Si Qinmi made soup for Li Rusi and He Tan again, while showing the demeanor of a lady, in order to praise her two sisters in front of Zhuang Xun, the two looked at her with emotion.

"Okay, okay, madam is more talented than me. She can resume production in Jiannan Road in one year." Zhuang Xun promised Si Qinmi and took a look around.

"Yun Yin, Zhi Hua, please sit down too, and everyone else, please step aside." Zhuang Xun ordered the two personal maids to sit down. At first, Li Rusi's maid was now his personal maid, and they were also helping him just now. .

After the people left, he called out: "Bi Yue, are you there?"

"No!" A woman's voice sounded muffled above the rafters.

"Come down and eat, otherwise you will understand." Zhuang Xun ordered.

"Aside from threatening me with that kind of thing! What else will you do!"

"Most effective, if you don't want your son to know that you became mine..."

"You!" The beauty sat down.

"Okay, our family is here." Zhuang Xun looked around again.

He is tall and fat, he is fat and thin, his face is both shy and loving.

This is the happy life Zhuang Xun pursues.
