faint [rebirth]

Both Xiao Junye and Xiao Wuchen are not fools.

Although Xiao Junye expressed a little anxiety and anticipation, and wanted Xiao Wuchen to advance the date of their wedding, but after all, he was just "acting like a baby" with his Wuchen, and he naturally understood in his heart that the matter was settled , they can only get married after ten years.

Although a little disappointed, compared to the fact that they had no chance of getting married in front of the world before, they will have the opportunity ten years later, which is obviously enough for the two of them to be happy.

Of course, besides the joy, the two did not forget that they still have a lot of things to do for the big marriage that no one can stop ten years later.

For example, within these ten years, the three vassal kings with the same surname will be completely eliminated; for example, no one can shake Xiao Wuchen's imperial power, but his body is not as good as a normal person, so it is best to find a way to let him go. Xiao Junye once again took the position of regent, so that the two of them would join forces and control the world, so no one would dare to talk too much; If the common people do more things, and if they do more things, he can also be a foolish emperor who values ​​beauty a little bit with peace of mind; for another example, he, the emperor, has never fully appreciated the great mountains and rivers of the Daxing Dynasty.Now that he and the emperor's uncle are young and in good health, it's best to be able to look around... Of course, while admiring the beautiful scenery, he can also take a look at the lives of officials and people in various places.

……

The rest of the things are pretty good, although Xiao Wuchen's expectations are higher, it is not impossible to completely fail.Just one last thing...

"First send more supervisory officials to raid the houses of some corrupt officials, so that there will be money." Xiao Wuchen tilted his head and thought, "When we have money, we will start building roads. In addition to land roads, we will start building roads." A canal that runs through the north and the south, with this canal, it will be much more convenient to do business between the north and the south."

As for the benefits of road construction, it goes without saying.The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the small road is not safe enough. Every time a businessman travels, he has to take care of many bodyguards to protect him.And just being robbed of property is still good, if Youshan is greedy, robbing money and people, and killing people who don't need it... That's not something that hasn't happened.

However, once the imperial court built official roads, set up guards and patrols at intervals along the route, and allowed ordinary people to walk, then the business of the Daxing Dynasty would develop better.

——After all, once the roads are blocked, how can the local specialties be shipped out?How should people get out?

Xiao Wuchen had an idea in his mind, so he went to discuss it with the emperor's uncle.

When Xiao Junye heard the words, he knew that his Wuchen wanted to let the canals and official roads pass through, and he also wanted to walk around with him and have a look-after all, if he lived in Sifangtian and Sifang all his life, In the imperial city of the land, whether it is him or his Wuchen, apart from being at ease, it is also really boring.

Thinking so, Xiao Junye picked out the person who proposed to change the system for the imperial court and asked Xiao Wuchen to set up four prime ministers to share the power of prime ministers, and asked him to do this matter.

Although this person is a little strange and often slovenly, but there is a book of three dynasties with great wisdom in his heart.In the previous life, this person was under Xiao Junye's command and also made many good suggestions for Xiao Junye.Of course, in addition to making suggestions, he once urged Xiao Junye to simply take the position.He also said that if Xiao Junye did not seize the throne, he would have to be executed in the future.Because obviously, that person's eyes are sharp, and he can see at a glance that although the regent has the heart to rule the world, it is obvious that beauty is more important than Jiangshan, and beauty is more important in the regent's heart, and that beauty... ...The mind is above the country, and the two most trusted people around are also the people who should not be trusted the least, so as long as the regent is not ruthless, then waiting for the regent's ending must be only one word "death".

And the result... really made him guess.

But this life is different from the previous life after all.Although Xiao Junye in this life still loves Xiao Wuchen, this capable person can tell that Xiao Wuchen is giving Xiao Junye the same love.If this is the case, it is not surprising that the monarch and his subjects are in harmony.

Of course, because of this, he never said those words from his previous life again.

Xiao Junye, like Xiao Wuchen, trusted this person's ability very much, so he let this person do all these things.

This capable man is indeed quite talented. After taking over the matter, he began to lead his troops, while making people prepare various talents and materials, and at the same time walking around the Daxing Dynasty himself—because he had a mission, He also recruited many talents from various places. Two years later, when Cheng Ning returned to Luoyang in the seventh year, he went to tell Emperor Cheng Ning personally that this matter was feasible.

Xiao Wuchen was overjoyed.

Just because the man said that the canal should be built first, and the people and materials are ready. Within two years, a canal will be built that runs through the north and the south, so that he can take a boat to travel to the south.

As for the opening of roads in other places, some can be carried out at the same time as the canal, and some need to be carefully considered.

Because...the timing is almost the same now, within a year or two, the three remaining vassal kings with the same surname are about to start a war—even if they don’t take the initiative to initiate it, Xiao Wuchen can’t tolerate them anymore It flickered under his eyelids.

The imperial power is respected, Xiao Wuchen was born with intelligence, so he knows about the unity of the imperial power and the cutting down of feudal clans, even if he doesn't do it today, someone will definitely do it in the future.The vassal king can no longer exist.

When the power of the three vassal kings was eliminated, and the Daxing Dynasty was completely controlled by Xiao Wuchen, at that time, if he wanted to go on tour with the emperor's uncle occasionally... No one would be able to control them.

Xiao Junye knew Xiao Wuchen's intentions and was also satisfied.

Not to mention other things, just the fact that he and Wuchen have the opportunity to travel around the great rivers and mountains is enough to make the two of them happy.

In March of the ninth year of Chengning, the canal was dug and completed, and the water diversion was successful. The people of Daxing were all happy.In addition, several places in Daxing have established official roads, countless mountain bandits have been wiped out, and the world is peaceful.

In April of the ninth year of Chengning, the three remaining vassal kings surnamed Xiao finally launched an attack.

Marshal Bingma asked three times for an order to lead troops to deal with the three vassals, and Emperor Chengning finally agreed.

In March of the tenth year of Chengning, the war ended. The three feudal lords surrendered and handed over their fiefs and titles, as well as hundreds of years of property and troops.

In June of the same year, Marshal Bingma returned to Luoyang, was rewarded by Emperor Chengning, and re-appointed as regent, with no title but no land.However, if this is the case, it is enough to surprise the courtiers.However, after repeated exhortations, there was no effect - as early as a few years ago, they could no longer control the young emperor.Now the emperor is a few years older, and so is the regent. What else can they stop?It was a waste of effort.

At the end of July in the tenth year of Chengning, after the completion of the North-South Canal, Emperor Chengning and the Regent took a boat for the first time and went south along the canal. And whether the local officials are really honest and capable... Therefore, whenever they go to a place with a good view, they always have to stop and rest for a few days...

This stop and go, until the winter moon, Xiao Wuchen, who had just traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, had to start walking back all the way because the canal in the north was about to freeze because of the cold weather. The end of the trip was divorce.

When he got to the capital of Luzhou, Xiao Wuchen stopped the boat, saying he wanted to rest for a day.

In a few days, we will arrive at the end or the starting point of the canal, and the ministers who followed him in fear all the way can only let the emperor mess around—anyway, they have messed up all the way, and they will mess around for another day or two, about... It's nothing, right?

So after the boat stopped, Xiao Wuchen held his chin and waited for his uncle to finish the last copy, then he dragged Xiao Junye to change clothes and went out!

Xiao Junye has always loved Xiao Wuchen, so along the way, almost Xiao Wuchen stopped the boat when he said it, and went out when he said it, and the place where he went was almost at the discretion of Xiao Wuchen.It's just that - as compensation, Xiao Junye has the final say on the clothes they wear and their identities when they travel.

Xiao Wuchen originally thought it was okay for the emperor uncle to decide these small matters.

However, when he discovered that his uncle had a particularly strange interest, he felt regretful...

What kind of dandy rich son and caring personal bodyguard, what kind of mountain hunter and handsome scholar, what kind of Taoist priests who are masters and apprentices, what... It is almost every identity that Xiao Junye likes, and he will drag Xiao Wuchen to come for a time... …Even if Xiao Wuchen wanted to resist, Xiao Junye had to "severely" teach him on the bed or a place where he could do what the bed can do...

There was even one time when Xiao Junye got a fake monk's headgear from nowhere, and wore it against the scorching sun for a day... and during that day, Xiao Wuchen's "identity" was to become a monk after being pestered by a fake monk The "extremely savvy" academy master...

Xiao Wuchen had nothing to say to his uncle.

Of course, he would never admit that apart from his "indulgence" to the emperor's uncle, he himself had indeed tasted some fun and "sweetness" in it.

But this time, when Xiao Wuchen saw it for the first time, he still felt that the clothes prepared by Xiao Junye were extraordinarily "normal".

After the two of them went out, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle... the clothes prepared today are different from those in the past."

Both of them were wearing normal clothes.Xiao Wuchen was dressed in brocade clothes, although Xiao Junye was dressed in commoner clothes, but at least he didn't wear the clothes of hunters, Taoist priests or monks.Xiao Wuchen was already content with this.

Xiao Junye looked at him sideways and smiled slightly: "The clothes don't matter, the important thing is the identity."

Xiao Wuchen: "..." He suddenly had an extremely bad premonition, and he didn't want to continue asking.

It's a pity that he didn't ask, but Xiao Junye has a mouth and can speak for himself.

"This time we are all 'businessmen'. It's just that Chen'er's family has more powerful means and has brought down my family. Then my family, in order to keep the remaining property, had to follow Chen'er's plan. Means, give me to Chen'er." Xiao Junye said, looking at Xiao Wuchen rather sadly, "Because of the previous fight, Chen'er hated me so much, that's why he wanted me to humiliate—of course , The humiliation has been humiliated, and now Chen'er has fallen in love with me, but he is still a little awkward, so he will occasionally 'bully' the emperor uncle, and bring the emperor uncle by his side as the most ordinary servant."

Xiao Wuchen: "..." Uncle Emperor, how many drama scripts have you read before you can make up such a "big drama" with twists and turns?And can he enter the play so quickly by himself?

Xiao Junye didn't wait for Xiao Wuchen to speak helplessly, but continued to smile and said: "So, Chen'er must remember later, and be a little awkward with the emperor's uncle. And, remember to call the emperor's uncle by name."

So, is it Aye?

Xiao Wuchen had no choice but to go with the emperor's uncle.

First of all, the change of identity in the playbook is a bit strange, but profound.It's really interesting to get into it; secondly... Thanks to his uncle's unique preferences, none of those who tried to kill the emperor succeeded in finding him...

The only difference is that in the past, the two of them only went to fun places when they went out, but today, Xiao Wuchen reluctantly accompanied Xiao Junye after playing the game of "The Awkward Young Master and Little Servant" for a while, and then pulled Xiao Junye went straight to the biggest theater in Luzhou.

Xiao Junye didn't understand Xiao Wuchen's meaning at the beginning, when he arrived at the theater, after listening to a few plays, he happened to see Xiao Wuchen's eyes fixed on a ten-year-old Huadan on the stage, Xiao Junye followed Xiao Wuchen Wuchen looked at it for a long time before he understood why Xiao Wuchen came here.

That little Huadan in her early ten years old was none other than An Wang Xiao Wutan, who was released alive back then, and the son of the Empress Dowager Shen who is now in the cold palace.

Xiao Wuchen looked expressionlessly at Huadan who was singing very well on the stage. When the play was over, he turned his head to look at Xiao Wuchen, and saw that Xiao Wuchen really pulled him to the back of the stage. up.

Behind the stage, everyone is an actor, and an actor is ruthless, and dare not be.

The two ran to the back, and saw the head of the theater troupe slapping Xiao Huadan, cursing while slapping him, and guessed him into the dust.

And that little Huadan kept her head down all the time, didn't say a word, didn't even show the slightest look in her eyes.

Xiao Wuchen and Xiao Wuchen watched for a while, then they both left again.

Xiao Junye naturally knew about the past life, but because of knowing, he understood how Xiao Wuchen loved and cared for Xiao Wutan, the "emperor brother" in the previous life, and how he himself was jealous of Xiao Wutan. how many times.

However, in the end Xiao Wuchen was actually betrayed by the person he cared about and trusted the most. It is conceivable how unwilling and angry Xiao Wuchen felt in his heart.

However, apart from all these unwillingness and anger, is there still some love for Xiao Wutan's younger brother?

Xiao Junye thought that Xiao Wuchen never killed Xiao Wutan, he was silent for a while, held Xiao Wuchen's hand, and said with a smile: "Wuchen doesn't like him, and I don't like him either. However, he is still young , and don’t know what happened in the past, just keep him and let him live as an actor for the rest of his life. As long as we find someone to take good care of him, we won’t be afraid that he will do something beyond your and my expectations.”

"No!" Xiao Wuchen flatly refused, "He must die!"

Xiao Junye was startled.

In Xiao Wuchen's beautiful peach blossom eyes, there was a flash of sternness: "If he only betrayed me in the previous life, then let him live as an actor for the rest of his life and have no heirs in this life, that's all right. But, but , he was probably one of the people who changed to poisonous alcohol in his previous life, he must die!"

Xiao Junye was completely stunned, and changed to poisonous wine?What does this mean?Could it be... is that what he thought?

As Xiao Wuchen walked forward, he continued: "Not only him, but also Mrs. Shen, my good elder brother, the deposed prince, they may all be the ones who changed the poisoned wine. Although I don't know Exactly who changed it, but the left and right cannot be among these three people. Therefore, they all have to die."

The hatred of usurping the throne in the previous life may not need to be repaid with life.However, Xiao Wuchen still clearly remembered the death of the emperor's uncle.

In past and present lives, Xiao Wuchen never intended to let Xiao Junye die.

Even though the two had different positions in the previous life, Xiao Wuchen mistrusted his aunt and the emperor's younger brother, and wanted to seize the power in Xiao Junye's hands. a way out.

——Although he can't live in the name of Regent Xiao Junye, at least he can still live, right?And based on his understanding of Xiao Junye, Xiao Junye would never do anything against him.

Xiao Wuchen walked alone for a long time, suddenly felt something was wrong, when he turned around, he saw Xiao Junye still standing there in a daze, staring at him with burning eyes.

Xiao Wuchen touched his face, walked back step by step, tilted his head to look at Xiao Junye: "Uncle Emperor, are you stupid?"

Xiao Junye grabbed Xiao Wuchen's wrist, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "What should I do if I'm stupid? Does Wuchen still want an uncle?"

Xiao Wuchen: "..." Could it be that the next time he goes out, the emperor plans to make a fool and... a fool's husband with him?

He rubbed his chin and thought that it's not impossible, Ouchi Tsundere Student Union.

Looking up, Xiao Junye was still staring at him intently, with a pair of dark eyes, especially deep.

Xiao Wuchen's heart skipped a few beats before he calmed down and said slowly: "Uncle Huang is stupid, he is also Uncle Huang. As long as it is Uncle Huang... I will never give up."

Then he was suddenly hugged by the person in front of him.

The two hugged each other for a long time before Xiao Junye spoke again and said in a low voice: "So, at that time, the glass of poisonous wine that Chen'er gave me was fake? Was it replaced by someone with a heart? Chen'er, at the beginning, You don't want to kill me, but in that situation, you can't tolerate me. So, you want me to feign death and leave?"

Xiao Wuchen opened his mouth and was about to answer.

Xiao Junye lowered his head again and kissed Xiao Wuchen.After a long while, he let go of the person, and said with a low smile: "Uncle Huang was wrong. With Chen'er's character, Uncle Huang should have realized that Chen'er didn't intend to take my life back then."

Xiao Wuchen's eyes turned slightly hot, he blinked, and said: "Of course. At that time, although I was confused, I listened and believed, and misunderstood Uncle Huang. However, Uncle Huang helped me a lot back then, and he has made a lot of contributions. , how can I really kill the emperor's uncle? It's just..."

It's just that at that time, although he didn't want to kill Xiao Junye, he was also worried that Xiao Junye really wanted to take him away.right.Even if Xiao Junye at that time could bear not to take the throne with him, but he was too weak at that time, and he might go down to meet the ancestors of the Xiao family one day, and the person who will ascend the throne will be the emperor's younger brother Xiao Wutan.And can Xiao Junye be willing to be a minister?

At that time, Xiao Wuchen was really planning for that good aunt and the emperor's younger brother, that's why he "poisoned" the regent.It's just that "Poison Killing" is just a name. He only planned to let Xiao Junye escape far away and leave the imperial city. However, he didn't expect that the person he was protecting with all his heart at that time was very likely to be a poisonous wine. people.

"It's all over." Xiao Junye said with a slight smile, "Chen'er in the previous life only regarded me as an elder and a courtier, and had no other ideas. To be able to do this, Uncle Huang is already satisfied." Seeing that Xiao Wuchen wanted to speak, he suddenly Jokingly said, "However, Chen'er is not wrong, but the emperor misunderstood Chen'er, but he was wrong. If there is a mistake, he should be punished."

Xiao Wuchen raised his eyebrows: "..." Then he has to think about how to punish the emperor...

"Why don't you just punish Uncle Emperor, next time you go out, pretend to be a little stupid person, and go out with Chen'er?" Seeing Xiao Wuchen's lips twitch, Xiao Junye pretended not to see it, and continued, "Wait until Next time, let Chen'er pretend to be a silly person, and the emperor will protect you on a trip? Is that okay?"

Xiao Wuchen: "..." In detail, this doesn't seem to be a punishment... Isn't this just his uncle's special preference?By the way, this preference was intentionally passed on to him?

Although Xiao Wuchen was a little depressed in his heart, besides this depression, he had more expectations and joys—speaking of which, no matter whether he was with the emperor's uncle before or after they were together, he was the emperor's uncle. He took care of him a lot, if the emperor's uncle pretended to be a "fool", could it be that he took care of him more?Even if it's just a little bit more, even if it only lasts for a short time, it seems that this is enough!

Ten years after Chengning, until Chengning's 36th year, the year before his abdication, Emperor Chengning would spend at least one month every year traveling from Luoyang City to see the landscapes of the Daxing Dynasty.

Later generations of literati criticized Emperor Chengning for being absurd and extravagant. Since Chengning ten years later, he has to spend a lot of money every year and sacrifice a lot of time that should be avoided in the palace and deal with government affairs.Moreover, in order to satisfy his selfish desires, Emperor Chengning dug canals and built roads regardless of public grievances.

However, some people specifically pointed out that although on the surface, Emperor Chengning was extravagant and wasting time, however, the country was prosperous and the people were prosperous during the time of Emperor Chengning. Luo Shuishang made a great achievement.As for extravagance, although Emperor Chengning loved to travel and trusted the regent too much, the government affairs of the court did not delay, and the expenses for traveling came from the private treasury of Emperor Chengning, and did not spend a single coin from the treasury.I really shouldn't bear the word "faint king".

……

Xiao Wuchen doesn't care how future generations judge.

When Chengning was 15 years old, he and Xiao Junye were absolutely on the same page in the court, and the Daxing Dynasty was as stable as Mount Tai, and the two of them officially announced their marriage in the court.

"My uncle and I will get married on an auspicious day this year. If you have spare time, you can come and have a wedding wine."

Xiao Wuchen, who had passed his thirties, smiled slightly, and after saying these words, he naturally stretched out his hand towards Xiao Junye.

Xiao Junye stood up from the courtier's seat, walked to Xiao Wuchen's side, and shook hands.Holding Xiao Wuchen's hand, he also said with a smile: "I also hope that my colleagues will not be polite at that time."

All the courtiers: "..." Drinking wedding wine and being polite are not important at all, okay?The important thing is, shouldn't the emperor belong to the Sangong Sixth Court?Even if you fell in love with a man, just take him into the palace as a concubine, why do you need to marry?And, even if it is a male concubine, Your Majesty, you should also consider that this person is an official of the court, not a pamper!

Many courtiers were still in a state of confusion in the wind, unable to speak a word.

Prime Minister Zuo sighed for a long time, and stood up first.

The opening was not congratulations, but said: "Your Majesty's big wedding is naturally the most important event in the Daxing Dynasty. It's just that once the regent becomes a queen and lives in the Jiaofang Palace, who will be in charge of the original affairs of the regent? For the sake of the emperor's heir, the concubines in the harem should also start to be selected, and..."

Xiao Wuchen didn't wait for Prime Minister Zuo to finish his sentence, he interrupted: "I and the emperor have a similar affection, and we have already made a promise to be white headed. In this life, we are only each other." Turned into shock, he continued to laugh, "However, I and the emperor's uncle are both men. Since we are men, there is no need for marriage. After the wedding, just make the regent the king's husband. As for the heirs... I have already found the husband." A suitable prince."

A group of courtiers wanted to argue with Xiao Wuchen for three days and three nights, and the few things Xiao Wuchen said were unfeasible.It's a pity that Xiao Wuchen has made up his mind and can't tolerate the persuasion of others.

And all the courtiers obviously knew in their hearts that if they were facing a weak or extremely famous emperor, then their "admonishment" or even "death advice" would more or less work.

But, they ran into Xiao Wuchen!Xiao Wuchen who is strong and doesn't care about fame!

Rao was Prime Minister Zuo, after knowing the child Xiao Wuchen wanted to adopt later on, he could only admit it with a sigh.

And Prime Minister Zuo recognized it, so what else could the rest of the courtiers say?All are obediently busy with the wedding between Emperor Chengning and the Regent in three months.

In the 15th year of Chengning, on the seventh day of the seventh month, Chengning Emperor Xiao Wuchen married the regent Xiao Junye, and the whole world celebrated together.

Emperor Chengning issued an imperial decree on the same day, saying, to celebrate the marriage between me and the emperor, Daxing peasants will be exempted from tax and corvee for one year; Daxing merchants will be exempted from taxes for one year; and special grants in Luoyang city will be given to porridge for one month.

The people of Daxing didn't understand why the emperor married a man at the beginning. After the decree came down, who cares who the emperor married?All rejoiced.

In Luoyang City, the wedding ceremony lasted for three consecutive days.

The fireworks in Luoyang City lasted for a month before they finally stopped.

So except for those who stayed in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, the people of the Daxing Dynasty and the surrounding small countries all knew that Emperor Chengning had married a man.

They are upright, as they should be, and they are married sweetly.
