The emperor sat cross-legged on the Grand Master's chair, constantly turning the cheese on the stove. Light smoke billowed out, and the hall was filled with the smell of burnt animal fur.

Since he came to the throne, he has not taken many measures to benefit the people. Instead, he has been cruel and cruel, and the reputation of tyranny has spread. The world has become increasingly turbulent, with more rebellions and rebellions year by year.

But when stoves and fire pits become popular all over the world, it should change the world's outlook a little. Thousands of people will be grateful to him as the emperor and sing his praises.

Yuan Ke couldn't help but be excited when he thought of the scene when all the people praised him.

And all this is thanks to Li Chengzhi...

The emperor couldn't help but feel a little proud: Li Chengzhi's rebellious reputation is well known to everyone, just like a fierce horse, few can control it. But in my hands, won't he still shine?

While he was sighing, Liu Teng entered the palace with light steps, whispered a few words into the emperor's ear:

"The secret man came to report: King Yingchuan did not return to the palace after leaving the palace, but stayed outside Changhemen. After Li Chengzhi left the palace and agreed on Tanshan's breach of contract, the two separated..."

The Dark Men of the Northern Wei Dynasty were similar to the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty. They were set up by Emperor Xiaowen to supervise officials. However, they were smaller in number. There was only one division and they only operated in the capital. They were controlled by close ministers or trusted eunuchs. But their official positions were higher.

, the most common undercover officers are from the sixth grade.

After Yuan Ke ascended the throne, he was mainly used to monitor the clan and individual ministers.

The emperor replied nonchalantly: "To measure the stone, hide the traitor and coquettish person, let him go..."

"Two moments ago, Her Majesty the Queen ordered the palace staff to prepare for the trip. She plans to return to Gaofu tomorrow to visit her relatives and invite Li Chengzhi's family to a banquet..."

A banquet for Li Chengzhi’s family?

The emperor asked suspiciously: "Li Chengzhi's father came to Beijing? I remember he mentioned it at noon and said he had taken leave for a few days..."

Liu Teng replied: "That should be the case!"

"Even Gao Zhao has accepted his fate, but she still doesn't give up? The queen is extremely bored and always wants to find something to do..."

The emperor waved his hand carelessly, "Gao Zhao has her own sense of discretion, let her do it!"

Liu Tenggong responded and was about to retreat when he saw Huangmen coming again and said: "Your Majesty, Li Chengzhi wants to see you!"

The emperor couldn't help but smile: "I really can't bear to talk about it, pass it on!"

Entering the palace, smelling a faint strange smell, Li Chengzhi thought the emperor was grilling meat on the stove. When he got closer, he realized that he was grilling cheese.

Self-taught without a teacher?

It's a pity that there are no such things as potatoes and sweet potatoes in this era...

"I have met His Majesty..."

The emperor looked at him carefully and waved his hand impatiently: "If you have anything to say, speak up!"

The two have been getting along for a long time, and they have roughly understood each other's personalities. As soon as he saw Li Chengzhi entering the palace, he looked at his face with a sly look, and Yuan Ke knew that Li Chengzhi must have something he wanted.

"Your Majesty once asked me in the afternoon: How should I reward my merits?"

Hmm?

The emperor paused and stopped turning the cheese. Liu Teng took the chopsticks with quick eyes and hands.

The sun comes out from the west?

In the past, Li Chengzhi had always been unfazed by favors and humiliations: he could do what he did from the eighth-rank Hou Xinglang, and he could do what he did from the fifth-rank Tiger Ben general. For him, there seemed to be no difference between high and low official positions. Even if his salary had already been fined

After many years, I have never seen him look strange.

Today you took the initiative to ask for an official position?

Realizing that Liu Teng seemed to be winking, the emperor thought: Could it be related to the banquet at Gaofu?

The emperor picked up a piece of dried cheese, blew a breath of cool air and threw it into his mouth: "Speak!"

Li Chengzhi was heartbroken: "I would like to ask your majesty to show mercy and grant me a decree. May I follow the example of Jia Chong of Jin?"

Jia Chong of Jin...two wives?

Yuan Ke almost sprayed the cheese he just ate into Li Chengzhi's face.

"You really dare to think about it?"

The emperor was angry and laughed at the same time, "You have read the books of sages, don't you know the principle of 'There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the house'? Or do you think you don't want to have a better life in the future?"

This is the same as the two queens in the palace. The emperor knew the consequences of doing this without even thinking about it: there will never be peace in his family in the future.

Regardless of the Hu family, she is only one of the nine concubines, but if she has a son and is important, she dares to fight fiercely with the queen, let alone an equal wife?

Li Chengzhi gritted his teeth: "Gao Wenjun and Wei Yu are sisters. They are both kind-hearted and kind-hearted people. I have confidence..."

"Li Chengzhi, ask yourself, do you believe this?"

The emperor sneered and said, "Human nature is greedy, and it has always been a long way to look at Shu. It will change. If we don't see how virtuous and virtuous the late emperor's Feng family was when she first entered the palace, and she is also a biological sister of a compatriot, what can we do?"

In order to fight for the throne, Feng Run and Feng Qing use swords and swords to fight, and you come and go, poisoning and stabbing, how exciting is it?

Yuan Ke said in a deep voice: "You must already know that I am responsible for this matter. And with your intelligence, you should be able to tell what is right and what is wrong. I can even guess how much your parents and elders are thinking.

points, but how come you don’t know how to take advantage of the trend?”

Go with the flow?

It is nothing more than that after the Hu family's son succeeds to the throne, the Gao family will definitely lose power. And in nine cases out of ten, Gao Zhao will be unlucky. From this point of view, if Li Chengzhi is smarter, he should stay away from Gao Zhao.

The emperor did not want Gao Zhao to become a powerful person, so he did not want a talent like Li Chengzhi to get too close to the Gao family.

Thinking further, Li Chengzhi was only nearly twenty years old, so he should have lived for twenty or thirty years. After training, he might be able to become the Li Chong of the late emperor, loyal and loyal to the young emperor. Therefore, the emperor would never allow Li Chengzhi to interact with him.

Gao Zhao is complicit.

He didn't force Li Chengzhi to regret the contract, but acquiesced in taking Gao Wenjun as his concubine.

Li Chengzhi actually fantasizes about marrying an equal wife?

Dream!

As for the Hu family, who was in the same boat as him... After he murdered the queen twice, Yuan Ke had already regretted that he should have changed the ancestral system too early.

It will be obvious in the future that people with such vicious hearts will most likely end up causing harm to the country and the people.

But since it can be changed, of course it can also be changed back...

If he could be persuaded so easily, Li Chengzhi would not be in this situation. He lowered his head slightly and argued in a low voice: "I am stupid and can't see that far-reaching, I just want to go straight to my heart!"

A good one that goes straight to the heart?

The emperor stared at Li Chengzhi as if looking at a rare treasure, looking up and down.

Is Li Chengzhi stupid?

What a joke!

Then why does he insist on going his own way when he knows that he may be implicated in the future?

It was just as he said, he was ready to do whatever he wanted and let his temper prevail.

Is Gao Wenjun that good?

The emperor sneered faintly: "I didn't expect that you are still an infatuated person? Hum... no way..."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Li Chengzhi was secretly happy, thinking that the emperor would agree, but he suddenly turned a corner?

It was purely an instinctive reaction. Li Chengzhi raised his head sharply: "Your Majesty, why?"

Yuan Ke laughed in anger: "What a rebellious minister, do you think your neck is too itchy or your life is too long, so you dare to question me? After all my hard talk, are you telling dogs all the truth? That's all.

I want you to achieve great achievements, but I will spare you this time first, Liu Teng, blast out..."

Liu Teng tried to take advantage of him and kicked Li Chengzhi hard twice. This meant that he should not take advantage of him.

Li Chengzhi was finally discouraged and resigned dejectedly. As if he had lost his soul, he walked out of Shiqian Palace in despair.

In the past, Li Chengzhi was always full of energy and high spirits. No matter when he was demoted, fined, or even given a cane, he never looked so desolate.

The emperor was very surprised: "I have always thought that people like Li Chengzhi, who are free and unrestrained and strong-willed, rarely have depression. I don't think so, but I would be trapped by love? Liu Teng, tell me, what's so good about women?

?"

The old eunuch's eyes suddenly bulged, and he opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't know how to play it correctly?

Seeing that his face was full of hesitation and he was embarrassed, the emperor finally reacted: asking a eunuch what the benefits of a woman is, isn't it like asking a blind question?

……

In the past, Li Chengzhi was so lively, but suddenly he became a dull gourd with no words, and he seemed unwilling to say more.

Knowing where his heart was, Li Shixian was too lazy to persuade him.

If you can't even figure out such a trivial matter, how can it be a big deal?

Early the next morning, the family went to Li Shiliang's house first. They didn't dare to stay longer, so they left in a hurry within an hour, and then visited their uncle Li Shao.

It was really the queen who urged her too hastily...

The two families come from the same family and have been friends for generations, so there are not so many differences. Guo Yuzhi and Zheng were both present. There were no outsiders. Li Chengzhi and Li Shao's youngest son, who had not yet become an official, served tea and poured wine.To be continued...
