Looking for you in reincarnation
Chapter 695 Time flies, youth is forever
Of course, such criticism may just be a preliminary test by some court officials, and the officials who made the suggestions were just pawns being used by others.
This is the center of power. Many times, the apparent peace is an illusion, and the pursuit of fame and fortune and the expansion of family power are the essence.
Therefore, even when the world is at peace, people's hearts will still be moved.
Therefore, this time Yue Fuli did not let go of this "loyal" minister, even though he was truly concerned about the Taiping Dynasty.
The entire family was executed as a result of this minister's offense against the queen.
This punishment was very severe. Even in past dynasties, if a minister angered the emperor when making suggestions, the most serious punishment would be the execution of the individual, and his family would not be implicated.
All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked by this and felt that they had underestimated the Queen's importance!
He just offered some advice, but ended up with his entire family being executed!
Then, another minister came forward to persuade the emperor to show leniency and spare the minister who made the suggestion, and his words were very convincing and seemed to be from the heart.
As a result, this minister also met with such a fate and was immediately dragged away by the guards.
For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were silent, and no one dared to say anything more.
This practice is too brutal. The entire family will be executed!
It would be fine if an individual was executed, but if a family is implicated because of giving advice or suggestions, who would dare to say that?
After this incident, no one could shake Si He's position as queen.
In front of outsiders, Yue Fuli was cold and majestic. Life and death depended on his thoughts, and the majesty of an emperor was fully displayed.
But in front of Si He, he restrained his aura and indifference, like a ferocious beast retracting its claws when facing its partner. Even though he didn't show it on his face most of the time, his actions were indulgent, even doting.
For example, when he was busy working too late, Si He would walk up to him and put one hand on the document on the table, stopping him from working. He would then put down his pen helplessly and could only leave it for the next day.
For example, when he was so busy that he forgot to eat, she would always come over to interrupt him, and either forcefully or coquettishly pull him away from his desk to eat first.
He had no choice but to let her lead him away without any temper.
For example, she often directed him to do things with a clear conscience, like after dinner, she said nothing, but just looked at him and raised her chin slightly, and he habitually took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
Every time at this time, his face would unconsciously reveal some pampering, and his movements were careful and gentle.
For example, after dinner, when they took a walk in the imperial garden, she often didn't want to go on halfway and would let him carry her on her back in a coquettish manner.
He indulged her, half squatting down to carry her on his back, not caring at all that this would damage the dignity of the emperor.
His back was very broad, and when he carried her on his back, every step he took was steady, making her feel very safe.
She hugged his neck tightly and talked to him with a smile.
In the dark night, the light in the imperial garden was not very bright, but the servants around could see Yue Fuli's pampering and indulgence towards her.
He was really very good to her.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.
Yue Fuli is forty years old. Due to years of being busy with government affairs, he has some white hair on his temples.
Si He still looks eternally youthful, with no signs of aging in her appearance, and she still looks so young and beautiful.
Especially when compared with Gao You and Gao Zi, it is very obvious that they are all nearly 40 years old and have long been housekeepers in high positions. There are already many more wrinkles on their faces.
Several of Yue Fuqi's sons have grown into teenagers. Their mother is younger than Si He, but in comparison, from the appearance, it seems as if they are a generation apart.
Whenever these ladies came to see Si He, they were filled with emotion and envy, but unfortunately the elixir of longevity was no longer available.
Due to the obvious effect of Si He's eternal youth, every time she appeared in front of officials' wives or court officials, the longevity elixir would become popular in the market. Even ordinary people had heard that she remained young forever after taking the longevity elixir.
For ordinary people, it is just surprising that the longevity elixir has such miraculous effects.
However, the major families have never stopped secretly finding out who still has the longevity elixir, and then trying every possible way to get it.
In addition, since the candidate for the crown prince has not been determined yet, the secret struggle has gradually become more intense.
Therefore, Yue Fuli sent the children of appropriate age to the border for training. In addition, the Western Frontier Kingdom had been making frequent moves and becoming increasingly restless in recent years, so he took this opportunity to start an uprising again.
Let the generals take Yue Fuqi's sons to broaden their horizons. If they make great contributions, the top three generals and the Taoist priest with the highest merits will be rewarded with a longevity pill.
A total of six longevity pills will be given this time, and for a moment, many people became excited.
Even the few young masters of the Yue family who went there to gain experience and knowledge were not at peace. Their maternal grandparents tried their best to provide resources, hoping that they could shine in this experience, even if it was just a small achievement. If they caught the eye of Yue Fuli, maybe their position as crown prince would be secured!
After all, Yue Fuli is getting older now, and there has been no movement on the matter of appointing a crown prince, and no one dared to ask.
But this time, the Yue family's young masters were suddenly sent to the battlefield for training. Many people speculated that this was a signal. After all, it was indeed time to establish the position of crown prince, and sometimes delaying it for too long might not be a good thing.
Therefore, this expedition attracted everyone's attention.
Originally, Yue Fuli was planning to go on the expedition with the army as before, but in the end the soldiers took the Yue family's children with them to train them slowly.
I hope to raise an outstanding child and make him the crown prince.
As the ancients said, the imperial family is the most ruthless.
This is actually true, that's why he let the children of the Yue family fight and grab things like making a poison, as long as they don't cross the bottom line and cause death.
It is not easy to sit on the throne. If your methods are not ruthless and decisive enough, you may become a puppet emperor.
He didn't want the conquered land to be lost because the emperor was too weak.
As a result, the war with the Western Frontier Kingdom lasted for three years, and the means of controlling evil spirits were used throughout the war. There were wins and losses, but in the end, no one suffered a big loss.
During this period, they requested to use Si He's ghost xiao many times. This weapon is very powerful. If they could use this weapon, they would have won a great victory long ago.
But Si He never agreed and only gave away the Shadi that she had obtained from the battlefield.
Because after so many years, she can now clearly feel that there is not much energy left in her body.
The Ghost Ocarina is powerful, but those Taoists have no confidence that they can suppress the Ghost Ocarina while unleashing its maximum power, so that it won't be snatched away by the enemy?
In her current condition, she won't take action again.
