Chapter 321: for the people
Chapter 321 For the people
Talked to Yueying for a while, Ruan Youqing didn't stay for too long. When people's eyes were all glued to Yuyue, she returned to the crowd with a vigorous figure and Zisu.
At this time, Yuyue was standing in the center of the altar, with her hands folded and her palms on her chest, the ancient words whispered in her downcast eyes were a little sacred.
In an instant, Yu Yue slowly opened her eyes, and slowly lowered her hands.
「Congratulations to the king!」
Congratulations erupted in unison from the crowd, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extraordinarily sincere and moved.
Ruan Youqing saw this and was naturally very moved.
After all, there are very few women who are the masters of a country.
In the history of their Ning Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an emperor. In other countries... there have been one or two.
So... Yuyue can become the lord of a country, and can be so conforming to the hearts of the people, it is really amazing.
Zisu on the side was a little surprised that the folk customs here are so enlightened, she couldn't help talking with the people around her, and asked about Yuyue's deeds.
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing just smiled and shook his head and followed her.
After all... Zisu can handle such things as inquiring about news.
After a while, Zisu returned to Ruan Youqing's side. After the two returned to the palace, she relayed to Ruan Youqing all the stories about Yuyue that she had heard from the ordinary people.
It turned out that Yuyue already had a group of people who respected and admired her when she was a girl.
Not for anything else, just because she always likes to travel among the people, and she is often the first among the royal family and nobles to know about the sufferings of the people. Whenever there is a disaster in the country of Guz, she can always lead people to rush to support it as soon as possible.
Only by serving the people wholeheartedly can we be trusted by the people.
Most of the men in important positions put on an air of superiority, and rarely could truly share the joys and sorrows of the people. Therefore, for the pampered Yuyue, being able to do this kind of thing is even more precious.
Therefore, when they learned that she had been established as the lord, the people of Guz Kingdom were overjoyed.
Even if Guz values witchcraft, the aspirations of the people cannot be ignored.
Where the people are, the country is.
Listening to Zisu's admiring eyes telling about Yuyue's deeds, Ruan Youqing's heart also felt a surge of excitement.
Guz country has a queen, and they have a female general in Ning country.
Does this mean...the value of a woman...is not only reflected in the husband and child in the deep house.
Is it possible that in the future...women will enter the court as officials...
The more Ruan Youqing thought about it, the more difficult it was to calm down.
When the twilight comes together, the palace banquet to celebrate the new king's enthronement is inevitable.
Ruan Youqing was also invited.
Just in order to avoid any trouble, Ruan Youqing made a simple disguise on purpose, dressed in men's clothes and brought Zisu with him.
Although she changed her appearance, her good looks still attracted the attention of many people.
Fortunately, Ruan Youqing no longer had to worry about the future when he was in Ningguo, and he had a cold and stern aura at his fingertips. Therefore, although some people were curious about her identity, no one dared to strike up a conversation.
Zisu was obediently pretending to be a maid at the side, serving tea and water in a very appropriate and thoughtful manner.
Originally thought that it could continue to be clean like this, but after drinking for three rounds, someone still had the courage to come over.
It's just that before the other party said a few words, Yuyue, who was chatting happily with others, saw the situation here, and immediately left her seat with a smile on her face and walked over.
Her every move naturally attracts even more attention.
The person who wanted to inquire about Ruan Youqing's background immediately lowered his eyes and saluted when he saw Yu Yue approaching.
After nodding to the other party with a smile on her face, Yuyue winked at Ruan Youqing, and said with a teasing tone: "The little guy's outfit today, I don't know how many girls' hearts he has stirred up."
Ruan Youqing blushed, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me."
Because there were so many people, the two of them didn't say too many intimate words.
Smiled at each other, Ruan Youqing raised the wine cup with both hands to respect Yu Yue: "I wish the Lord all the best in the future."
Yue Yue smiled brighter and drank with her.
After tonight, the new king found a young and beautiful cold-faced young man, and the rumors began to spread.
…
"Father, calm down."
Looking at the obviously much older emperor in front of him brushing the teacup on the table on the ground, Li Yi hid the sneer in his eyes, and spoke with a worried face.
After being supported to sit down again, the emperor stroked his chest and calmed down for a moment before he said, "When did you start checking these things?"
Li Yi straightened his face, and replied in a deep voice: "Return to father, this matter is thanks to Lord Liu. If he hadn't discovered it in time, I...Erchen would not have thought about investigating...Fourth Brother..."
"Please tell me in detail."
"Yes." Li Yi held up his hands, and continued after deliberation: "A few days ago, Mr. Liu looked through the documents of officials from various places as usual, only to find that Shi Xinxiu, the governor of Jingbian City, and the fourth brother's grandfather's family had some similarities. Later, he discovered that the governor of Changzhou City was also related to the fourth emperor's brother's maternal ancestral family several generations apart."
The emperor frowned slightly, and said in a deep thought: "Didn't I say it before, you don't have to care about this kind of thing so much."
Li Yi bent his fingers slightly, and said with a dignified expression: "But father, now, the fourth brother has been staying in Changzhou City for a long time. And a few days ago, Xinyang, the younger brother of the governor of Jingbian City, was also transferred to Changzhou City My son heard that... this matter was suggested by the major general of the Ruan family. These...several places came together by chance...It really...has to make people suspicious!"
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the emperor's face was covered with dark clouds, and the dull atmosphere made Li Yi dare not say anything more.
He knows that everything should be done in moderation.
If he talks too much, the emperor will no longer trust him.
Ever since he failed to put the heart-wrenching Gu on the emperor, Li Yi was worried that the emperor would think of something and doubt him.
But after entering the palace once or twice, the emperor's attitude towards him was the same as usual.
Although he is still a little wary, but... he can't wait to get that position now.
Especially... now that he is not a human being, before the secret is completely exposed, he needs to get to that position quickly!
With cruelty flashing in his eyes, Li Yi lowered his head and waited for the emperor's decision.
I don't know how long it took, the emperor seemed to sigh softly, and his voice seemed to be floating from a distance: "You go down first, I have my own ideas here. The fourth child has always been an impulsive person, Recruiting soldiers and buying horses...maybe it was his whim."
Seeing that the emperor looked tired, Li Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Father, please rest first, your body is important."
As he spoke, he withdrew and turned to leave.
With so much evidence in front of the emperor, he still hasn't calmed down yet!
Come to think of it...he still needs a strong dose of medicine!
After Li Yi left, a person walked out slowly from the inner room of the imperial study.
It was Gu Changan.
Before he could speak, the emperor laughed at himself: "I asked you to hide inside several times, and those who didn't know thought I was a treasure in the golden house."
Gu Changan smiled indifferently, and said unhurriedly: "The emperor is still in the mood to make fun of Changan."
After laughing silently, the emperor leaned his head on the chair with a tired face, and his voice was hoarse:
"If you hadn't told me about his plan in advance, and seeing the evidence he handed over, I'm afraid I really thought that the fourth child... was going to rebel."
