When Si Yan came back, Qi Ziyu was handling palace affairs.

The eunuch chief Gu Yuan knelt on the ground, waiting for the new emperor's orders.

Generally speaking, when the previous emperor passes away and the new emperor ascends the throne, the palace maids and eunuchs will also be replaced.

Qi Ziyu looked at Eunuch Gu who was kneeling in the hall with an indifferent expression: "Gu Yuan, you will stay by my side and serve me from now on."

Gu Yuanyuan was surprised: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Didn't you hear that clearly?"

"I heard it clearly, Your Majesty..." Eunuch Gu could no longer hold back his tears. Thinking of how he had embarrassed Your Majesty at the Changting Pavilion outside the capital, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Your Majesty is as broad-minded as the sea. I, this old servant, am sorry for you..."

Gu Yuan raised his hands and slapped himself left and right.

"Alright." Qi Ziyu said calmly, stopping him, "Don't think about the past anymore."

Gu Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with tears as he kowtowed three times to the new emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have shown such great kindness that even if I die a thousand times, I will never be able to repay you."

Qi Ziyu said nothing, and after a moment of silence, he instructed Gu Yuan, "Pass on my decree. The power of the harem will be handed over to Concubine Liu."

Concubine Liu was the former Noble Lady Liu, who was later promoted to Concubine Liu Xian. Everyone in the harem admired Concubine Liu Xian's character.

Eunuch Gu wiped his tears and said with a smile: "This old servant will go and convey the order."

Si Yan came in from the door, and Qi Ziyu's eyes fell on her: "Ayan, if it weren't for you..."

Before Qi Ziyu could finish, Si Yan said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to talk about the past. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body. Without a good body, all your ambitions will not be realized."

"I understand, Ayan."

Qi Ziyu opened his lips slightly, as if he still had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know how to start.

Qi Ziyu paused and asked, "Will Ah Yan think that I was too soft-hearted by letting the Queen Mother and the King of England go today?"

"No." Si Yan smiled calmly, "Your Majesty is a man of great wisdom. He knows everything clearly in his mind."

"Ayan..."

Qi Ziyu's eyes were a little moist, A Yan still understood him the best.

"Facts have proven that Your Majesty is a good emperor deeply loved by his subjects. Duke Dingguo's wholehearted support today is the best proof of this."

Today, after listening to Qi Ziyu's punishment of the Queen Mother and King Ying, Duke Dingguo saw Qi Ziyu's benevolent side.

During the Suzaku Gate incident, Qi Ziyu executed King Chen. Although no one said anything on the surface, some officials in the court were secretly spreading the rumor that King Yong was cruel and ruthless and had killed his own brother.

The former King Yong was a war god who led troops into battle. His military achievements were outstanding, so he could not be a kind person.

Today, Qi Ziyu's punishment of the Queen Mother and the King of England just showed his kindness.

Duke Dingguo was a veteran of three dynasties and a very shrewd man. Naturally, he saw the qualities of the new emperor at a glance and supported him with all his might.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, the punishments you imposed on the Crown Prince and the King of England today were all within my expectations."

Qi Ziyu looked at the woman in front of him, and couldn't help but feel his eyes warm: "The one who understands me is Ah Yan."

Si Yan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the rebellious forces have been eliminated, but the people in the palace also need to be thoroughly cleaned up. This matter can be handed over to Mo Han to handle."

"Okay, let Mohan handle it." Qi Ziyu followed Si Yan and called Ling Mohan's name.

Si Yan glanced at the side hall and said, "Prince Yan and Master Boya are still in the side hall. Does Your Majesty want to summon them?"

"See, I have to thank them."

Qi Ziyu knew clearly that Prince Yan and Boya had both made great contributions to Daxuan.

Yan Longyi and Boya walked into the hall. Just as they were about to salute, Qi Ziyu had already stood up from his chair and supported them with his hands on the left and right.

Yan Longyi was stopped from bowing, but he still said respectfully, "I greet the new emperor."

Boya also said: "I greet your Majesty."

"Please stop being so polite, and take your seats."

Qi Ziyu gave a gentle call, and someone immediately brought a table and chairs.

Several people sat down in the hall, and Qi Ziyu looked at Yan Longyi with gratitude.

"Ayan has already told me that during this rebellion, the Prince of Yan disguised himself as General Bei'an, penetrated deep into the rebel camp, and persuaded 60,000 rebels to surrender, greatly reducing the bloodshed and sacrifice of this civil war. On behalf of the people of Daxuan, I thank the Prince of Yan."

As he spoke, Qi Ziyu bowed to Yan Longyi, and Yan Longyi hurriedly supported Qi Ziyu.

"Your Majesty cannot perform such a grand ceremony."

Qi Ziyu's eyes were filled with tears as he recalled the night conversations he had with Yan Longyi under candlelight, as if it were just yesterday.

He can make his own decisions in the future.

He would never break his promise again under pressure from imperial power.

Qi Ziyu smiled and said, "I will definitely reward the King of Yan handsomely for his contribution in the future."

"I dare not." Yan Longyi said humbly.

Qi Ziyu turned his gaze to Boya and said sincerely, "Mr. Bo, I know you have contributed a lot to Daxuan, all in the dark. Daxuan is in need of talents like you. If you don't mind, I would like to appoint you as prime minister."

Boya quickly stood up and left the table, saying respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am a humble businessman with worldly duties, and I'm afraid it's difficult for me to serve Your Majesty."

Qi Ziyu looked at Boya with admiration: "Mr. Bo has great talent. If he can stay in the court and serve as an official, it will be a blessing for the people of Daxuan..."

"Your Majesty, it is indeed not very convenient for me. I am sorry to disappoint your kindness." Boya refused.

Qi Ziyu saw that Boya really had no intention of becoming an official, and he could not help but say with regret: "Then I will not force you, Master Bo. If you want to become an official in the future, you can come to me anytime."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Boya replied and then sat back down.

Qi Ziyu paused and said, "Master Bo has done a great favor to Daxuan. If you need help in the future, you can bring this jade pendant to the palace to find me."

As Qi Ziyu spoke, he gave Boya one of his jade pendants as a token of trust.

Boya accepted it with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The few of them didn't say much. Yan Longyi and Boya knew that Qi Ziyu was not in good health, so they quickly said goodbye and left.

Si Yan sent the two of them out. Boya saw the reluctance to part in Yan Longyi's eyes, so he found an excuse to leave first.

Si Yan stepped forward and shook the King of Yan's hand: "Long Yi, the new emperor is not in good health. I will stay in the palace for the time being to prevent any accidents. When the new emperor is better, I will move out of the palace..."

"Ayan, I understand." Yan Longyi looked at the woman in front of him gently, his eyes full of reluctance, "It's just that I have to go back to Yan State first."

Si Yan expected this and didn't say much. He just looked at the man and said, "Go to the former Prince Yong's Mansion and find Si Rong. I have written a set of training methods for new soldiers. Take it back to Yan State. If you think it is feasible, train them according to this method."

Now that Di Yulin knows of her existence, he will intensify the training of the army, and they and the State of Yan must also intensify.

Otherwise, if the Beimang Kingdom invades again in the future, the two countries will be powerless to resist.

"Thank you, Ayan." Yan Longyi walked forward and hugged the woman, trying his best to hide his emotions.

Si Yan said softly, "Take Yunqiao back with you. Yunqiao already knows all these training methods. You can ask him to teach them to the soldiers."

Qi Ziyu already has Si Ru by his side, so there is no need to keep Yun Qiao.

Yunqiao is an excellent doctor and is steady in his work, so she feels at ease following this man.

"Okay." Yan Longyi nodded, gently kissed the woman's forehead, and finally left with resentment.

They all have their own responsibilities and things to do, so they can't stay together forever.

But one day, they will be together.
