Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 152 If I am the Emperor, Ah Yuan must be the Empress

Xue Li stood there without moving, and Duke Ding also stood there without moving.So the civil and military officials looked at me and I looked at you, and tacitly chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending to be dumb, and in short, they just refused to give way.

Most of the eyes gradually moved to Su Qingyuan. - Not friendly at all.

Su Qingyuan knew that this was to force her to take her face into consideration and take the initiative to give in.

But when did Su Qingyuan take her face into consideration?

She leaned closer to Lu Li's side and hugged his arm.

Lu Li looked down at her and smiled.

"Queen Mother, you can't..." Ding Guogong hesitated and coughed in embarrassment.

Lu Li frowned: "Duke Ding's title is wrong. You should call her 'Miss Ling'. Of course, it's okay to call her 'Niang Niang' in advance."

Duke Ding tugged at his beard, and knelt down heavily: "Is the emperor determined to do such a rebellious thing? Mother and child are disobedient, disregarding the law of heaven, they are no different from animals, please think twice!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" More than half of the officials knelt on the ground with Duke Ding.

Most of the standing people are young generals.Although they didn't agree, they were still staring at Su Qingyuan with reproachful eyes, as if they wanted to swallow her alive.

Lu Li squeezed Su Qingyuan's hand tightly, and smiled calmly: "It's not the first time I've 'disregarded the way of heaven', let alone the first day I've 'disrespected ethics'. Duke Ding has always been an insider, since he pretended to be deaf and dumb before, After so long, why can't I bear it now? Is it true that the same thing is not considered as "disregarding the way of heaven" if it is hidden, but only if it is made public? According to this reason, the so-called "law of heaven" is probably nothing more than It's just a scam!"

Duke Ding's face became more and more ugly, and he froze for a moment before he said: "The so-called 'Way of Heaven' is the eternal way of all things in the world, and it is also the sincere heart of the people in the world! The emperor is only interested for a moment, and ignores the principles of heaven and earth. , In the future, if we follow the example, South Vietnam will inevitably become a country of beasts, and the virtues of the saints for thousands of years will be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

"Chichi..." Su Qingyuan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Duke Ding raised his head and stared angrily.

Su Qingyuan held back her laughter, and looked at Duke Ding in distress: "Sure enough, an elderly person has a bad memory! Lu Li has said many times before that the queen he wants to register is not 'Su Qingyuan', but It's 'Ling Qiao'er', so there's no relationship between heaven, earth and human beings involved? Duke Ding can't assume that we are the same person just because I resemble the late Emperor's Empress Xiaohui, right?"

Duke Ding frowned: "Nowadays, the truth of the matter is known to everyone. Even if the court historians dare not write nonsense, there will inevitably be people who have good deeds passed on by word of mouth! A hundred years later, how many unscrupulous words in unofficial gossip will be heard by the emperor." Can I ignore it?!"

Lu Li narrowed his eyes irritably, already very impatient: "The matter between me and A Yuan has already been talked about by people, even if I don't make this queen, the unofficial gossip in a hundred years will not be easy to see! The Duke stopped me and A Yuan here today, what kind of result do you hope I will give you? Give up the empress? Or—kill A Yuan?"

"This..." Duke Ding hesitated.

He insisted that Su Qingyuan would never be a queen again, but this problem has been perfectly solved, and he and all the civil and military officials just pretend to believe that the woman in front of him is "Ling Qiaoer, the daughter of a member of the bureaucracy" .

So, what is he insisting on?
What kind of answer did he hope Lu Li would give him?
Let this 'Ling Qiao'er' die too?
Not to mention Lu Li's reluctance, even he himself can't bear it now.

Duke Ding thought hard for a long time, but was speechless.

"Chongzheng envoy?" Lu Li turned to Xue Li.

The latter hesitated for a long time before saying: "Your majesty is the honor of ninety-five years, and he should cultivate virtue so that he can be admired and loved by the people of the world. Right and wrong are not in the mouth of the world, not in the unofficial history of later generations, but in the hearts of the people. .The Su family serves two masters with one body, and women who do not cultivate their virtues are unbearable to be queens. I ask the emperor to think twice."

Seeing that Su Qingyuan was tired from standing, Lu Li simply hugged her and sat down on the chair, smiling slightly: "Ah Yuan is indeed 'women don't cultivate their virtues', it just so happens that I have never 'cultivated virtues', this Isn't it just a good pair? If you choose a perfect queen for me, maybe people will think that I am not clean and innocent, and I can't be a husband."

Xue Li felt that what he said was reasonable, but he was unwilling to admit it, so he could only casually say: "The emperor is joking."

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you!" Lu Li's face darkened.

Xue Li was still hesitant to speak, but Lu Li gave him time to speak, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Lu Li sneered slightly: "I understand what you mean - now that the Su thieves have been eliminated and the world is in peace, a new king can be established! Although Lu Junnuo is young, he is smart and has a promising future. He is indeed better than me. The notorious father-killing and mother-killing generation is much stronger! If you want to support a new leader, you can say it clearly, why bother to beat around the bush!"

These words were a little heavy, and the officials were so frightened that they knelt down in a hurry, saying "dare not".

Lu Li led Su Qingyuan to stand in front of the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter whether you 'don't dare' or 'don't want to', I'll put everything I have to say here today—if I were the emperor, Ah Yuan would definitely be the emperor." If you have any objections, I can issue an edict to abdicate at any time, and you can choose another emperor who is willing to be manipulated by you!"

The officials immediately panicked, kowtowed like garlic, and shouted "forgive me".

Su Qingyuan felt relieved.

They didn't hit the snake with the stick, it seems that they have no plans to change the emperor yet.

Lu Li's complexion did not change for the better.

He was really annoyed by these people's noise today.

It took him so much thought to come up with this plan of Li replacing Tao's stiffness, who knows that there are many side effects, first he was disrupted by a poisoning, and then he was disrupted by Ling Qiaoer, and now such a trick appeared again. A bunch of old things come and don't give up - this kind of feeling is really annoying!
When Lu Li was already "Longyan was furious", if anyone dared to stand up, it would undoubtedly be Xue Li.

After thinking about it for a while, Master Xue pointed the finger at Su Qingyuan again: "The fate of Su's daughter is unlucky. The first emperor passed away on the day she was conferred the title for the first time; now she is charming and seducing the lord, causing the sage to lose his morals and disregard ethics." ... How can this kind of evil woman be the mother of a country! Please the emperor for the sake of the world, it is not too late to rein in the precipice at this time!"

"Master Xue," Su Qingyuan squatted down in front of Xue Li, "Believe it or not, if you were not in the court, my 'fate' would be much better than it is now."

Xue Li didn't dare to meet Su Qingyuan's gaze, so he had to bury his head deeply, pretending not to hear her words.

Lu Li supported Su Qingyuan to stand up, and glanced around at the crowd: "You also mean the same?"

All the ministers had some activity in their hearts, but no one responded.

In fact, this topic has been going on and off for more than half a year, and most people have already felt that it doesn't matter.But except for a few generals who climbed up purely by military merit, all the people present have read the books of sages.In front of a group of people who have also read sage books, no one wants to be the first to admit that he takes an unethical thing for granted.

Seeing that no one answered, Lu Li lowered his head, glanced at Xue Li, and said with a sneer, "Now that the world has just settled down, you immediately think of A Yuan's fate? When A Yuan saved your lives at the water pavilion in the Qingyin Pool Pavilion, she offered her advice to revise the book. When disturbing Su's army's mind, when I was poisoned to death and tried medicine for me...why did no one jump out and say that she was "unlucky"? For the peace of Nanyue and Nanyue, A Yuan betrayed her parents and fought hard. She took her life and went through life and death several times, yet you call her a "hussy seducer"? If she hadn't been implicated by me, her "fate" would be very good! She has never seduced me in these years, begging for death Bai Lai is the one who refuses to let go, not her!"

Xue Li blushed, still unwilling to admit defeat: "Your Majesty is in the middle of the game, so naturally he doesn't know... The Su family is a remnant of the witch clan, and his mother had close contacts with the kingdom of Shenque, who destroyed the country 20 years ago. Study! Your majesty is confused with these witches, and I'm afraid there will be no accidents in the future..."

"Who told you these things? Ling Qiaoer?" Lu Li asked sharply.

Xue Li bowed his head and remained silent.

Lu Li sneered: "That demon girl has put in a lot of work—so, you would rather accept a woman who only cares about pleasure and disregards people's livelihood as the mother of a country, than accept the fact that I want to marry A Yuan?"

Xue Li raised his head and said righteously: "Yes. Nanyue prospers the country with propriety, even though the clothes are poor, it does not marry a second-married daughter; the emperor is the master of the world, how can he make a second-married daughter his queen? How will the emperor face the ancestors of the past dynasties, how will he face the sages of the past and the present?"

"Ha," Lu Li suddenly laughed, "Sages of ancient and modern times, those are your 'sages'! I'm not a hypocrite who reads rote books, and it's not up to the 'sages' to decide my private affairs! I forgot, the great grandfather of this dynasty, Empress Xiaozhen, is from Shanrong! According to the customs of Shanrong, if a son refuses to marry his stepmother after his father's death, he will be accused of being unfilial instead!"

Xue Li was momentarily at a loss for words.

Lu Li snorted coldly, and continued: "Since you are determined to get to the bottom of it, I have no choice but to tell you the truth - A Yuan is not a 'second-married daughter', she has only been with me from the beginning to the end! The words that Su thief accused me of are all true! It was I who disregarded morals and forced A Yuan to have an affair with me, and it was I who forced A Yuan to conceive my child! If you have anything to scold, just come to me, no need Splash all the dirty water on A Yuan!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and the officials were too shocked to speak.

Su Qingyuan came over, grabbed Lu Li's hand, and shook her head slightly.

Lu Li sighed and calmed down his face: "Mr. Ding, envoy Chongzheng, you all knew about the matter between me and A Yuan early in the morning. Especially Mr. Ding, at that time A Yuan was forced to retreat by me. What a situation he was in. You know how difficult it is! Now that she has survived, and I am awake, everyone should be happy, why do you have trouble with her instead?"

Duke Ding sighed, speechless.

Originally, the reason why he stopped Lu Li from making Su Qingyuan his queen was because the previous incident was too bad, and he was afraid that Lu Li's reputation would be damaged.

Now that Lu Li has said everything he shouldn't have said, there is no point in stopping him any longer.

If you accept Lu Li as the emperor, you have to do your duty as a courtier and continue to help him cover up the things that should be covered up; if you need to change to a morally perfect emperor-the only candidate is too young!
This was a difficult choice, Duke Ding almost pulled out his beard.

Lu Li held Su Qingyuan's hand, walked around the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "If you haven't made up your mind yet, you might as well think about it tonight; if you haven't made up your mind after returning to Beijing, I don't know." Happy to abdicate!"

It was finally quiet.

Lu Li carried the exhausted Su Qingyuan upstairs to rest, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

Su Qingyuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him: "Actually, you don't have to quarrel with them like this..."

Lu Li was sitting by the table, his anger still lingering: "Those old bastards are all wolf-hearted, and they don't feel guilty at all when they scold others!"

"To be honest," Su Qingyuan bit the corner of her lips, "Daughters of second marriages are really not welcome, and I am not an ordinary remarryer. They feel awkward in their hearts, and it is human nature."

"I'm not awkward myself, it's their turn to talk too much!" Su Qingyuan snorted angrily.

Su Qingyuan laughed.

This time, Lu Li defended her from the beginning to the end, and she was not used to it.

In fact, what Lu Li wants to do more is to take the opportunity to justify her name, right?In fact, there is no need to tell all the hidden things that happened a long time ago.

Now that everything is on the bright side, it is equivalent to exposing the lies that he tried so hard to tell before.Seriously, her face was a little hot.

Especially when she thought of how she poured so much dirty water on the late emperor for no reason in order to explain the child's affairs in the water pavilion,-now that those people recalled it, they still don't know how to scold her!
Su Qingyuan was bored for a while, then suddenly smiled again: Although the late emperor was not a good person, it was quite pitiful when he thought about it—it was fine if he was put on a green hat by his "son" after his death, but he still had to carry a It's just such a big scapegoat, how can the word "miserable" be so great!
Hearing Su Qingyuan's laughter, Lu Li leaned over and sat beside her: "Smile so treacherously, who are you planning to plot against?"

"How dare I plot against anyone? It's always been others plotting against me!" Su Qingyuan felt aggrieved.

Lu Li thought about it for a while, and nodded in a serious manner: "That's right. My A Yuan is pure and kind, and never thinks of others."

Su Qingyuan felt guilty, and immediately felt that he was being sarcastic, and her face became even more aggrieved.

At this time, Xiao Luzi brought someone over with food and tea, and said by the way: "It has been cleaned up. There is a Yizhuang nearby, and a thin coffin was made, and someone was hired to carry it out and bury it in a mass grave."

Su Qingyuan felt her chest was a little congested as she hurt her kind.

Lu Li pulled her to sit down at the table, and persuaded, "That woman deserves more than a crime, don't think too much about it."

Su Qingyuan frowned and looked at him.

Is there anything left to die for?

Lu Li had no choice but to explain to her: "A few days ago, both you and I were poisoned. You fell into the hands of Aunt Nian, and I was busy fighting again. I didn't know until yesterday that she had already caused trouble in the inn. Little trouble——she first used your identity to make the officials and servants who stayed in the hotel dare not neglect her, and then spread the news that I was with you on the battlefield... In this way, everyone knows that Bo There are two 'Ling Qiaoer' inside and outside the city, so I can't get rid of her quietly."

Su Qingyuan was very surprised: "She is quite smart!"

Lu Li snorted heavily: "I'm afraid she has a lot of 'smartness'. The news of my poisoning spread back to the hotel, and all the officials couldn't help but worry, so she spread rumors everywhere, saying that she saw you take it with her own eyes. The knife stabbed me, and the poisoning was naturally done by you. Fortunately, although those old bastards are bastards, they are not very confused, otherwise they would be even more unclear!"

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and curled her lips: "Then I can't blame her. After all, it was true that I stabbed you with a knife, and I was half responsible for the poisoning—even if it was all fabricated, In order to protect themselves, of course, people have to think of some ideas, otherwise, why don't they sit and wait for death?"

"Then, she seduced the old people in the Palace of Youth, probed into your secrets, and then spread it out with embellishments?" Lu Li asked.

Su Qingyuan frowned: "What's going on?"

Lu Li gritted his teeth: "I know that woman is restless, but I still underestimated her ambition. Since the first day she entered the palace, she has often deliberately pretended to be you, and asked those ignorant little girls in the Palace of Youth. News. I always thought she was just trying to imitate you, but unexpectedly she learned that you are the daughter of the witch clan, and she heard from somewhere that you practiced charm! This time you and I have gone through life and death, but she To stir up trouble in Bozhou, you spread a rumor that I was poisoned by witchcraft and bewitched by you... It's thanks to her that she figured it out in such a short time!"

"It's a pity that she spent so much thought, but she still couldn't save her life." Su Qingyuan was a little emotional.

"Damn her, it was doomed the moment she decided to enter the palace under a fake name." Lu Li didn't feel any guilt towards Ling Qiaoer.

Su Qingyuan is not a kind person, after feeling a little bit, she felt at ease.

Both of them knew that today's business was not over yet, so neither of them had much thought of joking.

After hastily eating a few mouthfuls of food, Su Qingyuan was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she wished she could get into bed immediately and sleep in the dark.

However, looking at the clothes on her body, she was crying again.

She has been wearing this linen mourning dress for three days.It was stained with blood and sweat again, and the whole clothes had become smelly and hard, and it was as uncomfortable as sticking to the body.

You can't just sleep like this, can you?

Lu Li saw her embarrassment, deliberately remained silent, took a few memorials and sat by the window to read them.

Su Qingyuan circled around a few times, finally couldn't bear it anymore, rushed out to order Xiao Luzi to prepare hot water and a change of clothes for her.

Lu Li just pretended not to hear or not to see, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The hot water was delivered, and the bathtub was set up, Su Qingyuan was anxious: "Do you want to avoid it!"

"Why should I avoid it?" Lu Li looked innocent.

Su Qingyuan was furious: "I want to take a bath, do you want to peek?"

Lu Li blinked his eyes and looked puzzled, "Why do I want to take a peek?"

"Then you go out!" Su Qingyuan walked over and took the memorial from his hand, trying to drag him up.

Lu Lilai refused to move on the chair: "I don't need to peek, but I want to look at it openly. - Why, can't I?"

Su Qingyuan's face turned purple with anger.

Lu Li stood up and added with a smile: "Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it before!"

"When did you watch it?!" Su Qingyuan was shocked.

Lu Li raised the corners of his lips and looked away.

How guilty!It must have been a peek!This smelly shameless! ——Su Qingyuan is on fire.

Lu Li casually picked her up into his arms, and quickly helped her untie the mourning gown: "Old husband and wife, where is there that I haven't touched? Why are you coddling now!"

"Hey, you are shameless!" Su Qingyuan jumped angrily.

This jump is broken.

The style of the mourning clothes was simple, the only two silk ribbons were untied by Lu Li, and with a jump, the whole dress slid down.

Su Qingyuan was in a hurry, unable to cover herself, so she jumped into the bathtub in a "scratch" manner.

Well, the tub is empty.

Lu Li didn't ask the little maids to come and serve her, and the eunuchs didn't dare to step in and take care of her without orders, so the buckets were only placed beside her, and no one served her properly.

So Su Qingyuan was even more embarrassed.

Lu Li smiled and leaned on the edge of the barrel: "Madam, is this little one here to serve you?"

Su Qingyuan curled up in the barrel, staring at him angrily.

Lu Li laughed, slowly picked up half a bucket of warm water, and under Su Qingyuan's murderous eyes, poured it on her body bit by bit.

"Ma'am, how's the water temperature?" Lu Li laughed.

Su Qingyuan stroked her wet hair and gritted her teeth: "When you get the water ready, it will be dawn!"

"Ah, this is bad news!" Lu Li woke up like a dream, and suddenly sped up his movements as if he had been wound up.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Su Qingyuan panicked.

Lu Li filled the tub in one go, wiped off his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, "You're done!"

Su Qingyuan also breathed a sigh of relief: "You can 'retire after success'."

Lu Li didn't speak, and simply untied his clothes.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Su Qingyuan turned pale.

Lu Li said confidently, "The bathtub is so big, and it's not like two people can't fit in it. You can't be so stingy, right? Besides, I've worked so hard for a long time, so you can't reward me with courtesy?"

Looking at the splashing water, Su Qingyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.

Lu Li said confidently, "Rub my back!"

Su Qingyuan was so angry that she just wanted to bite him: "Screw you big-headed ghost!"

"You don't need to rub the big head, but you can consider the small head." Lu Li's face remained unchanged.

Su Qingyuan just wanted to kill him.

Knowing that it would not be beneficial to compete with this kind of hooligan, Su Qingyuan decided to choose to give up - 36 tricks are the best.

Lu Li, however, had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed her back: "What are you running for?"

Su Qingyuan slid into his arms, and immediately became honest.

"What?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

Su Qingyuan stared at him wrongedly: "I've become ugly, you will dislike me!"

Lu Li lowered his head.

Su Qingyuan immediately covered his eyes: "Don't look!"

Lu Li suddenly realized that he couldn't laugh or cry: "You're awkward with me, and that's why?"

Su Qingyuan pursed her lips, turned her back to him and refused to turn around.

Lu Li had no choice but to coax her carefully: "No matter what A Yuan turns into, she will look good, let alone it's for our children..."

When the child was mentioned, Su Qingyuan's tears fell.

Lu Li had no choice but to suppress those ulterior thoughts and hugged her in his arms to comfort her.

Su Qingyuan wiped the corners of her eyes, looked up at him, "Lu Li, I don't want to be a queen."

Lu Li frowned.

Su Qingyuan gritted her teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going to the south... to find a child."
