Two days after the farce in the East Palace, Li Luosu finally succeeded to the throne, and the Ministry of Rites held a small canonization ceremony in Qianping Palace.

Before the canonization, Duanmuyao personally tied Li Luosu's leather belt and put on the balance crown.

"You've grown up after all."

The little guy in the bronze mirror looked much better than the previous two days. After putting on the court clothes, his usually bright eyebrows and eyes were a bit more dignified.

"It is agreed that you will assist me, but you are not allowed to go back on your word."

"Well, don't worry."

Li Luosu saw that Duanmu Yao just smiled, and felt a little dissatisfied, so he took his hand and asked him to walk to Qianping Palace with him.

"Pull me for what?"

"Hmph, you have to be by my side at all times. I'm very good at falling off the chain."

The little guy's hand was held firmly, and Duanmu Yao knew that he was a little nervous, so he smiled and followed him.

The Minister of Rites presented the booklet and gold seal to Li Luosu who was on the throne, and all the officials knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the new emperor."

"All the gentlemen are flat."

Seeing the ministers below retreating from the palace gate one after another, Li Luosu let out a long sigh of relief, quietly moved to Duanmu Yao, and asked, "Teacher, will this be all right?"

Duanmuyao looked at him and corrected: "In the future, you will be called Prime Minister. You are already the emperor, and you can no longer be called Taifu."

"……Oh."

Why did you teach me as soon as I came up, I became the emperor, but the perverted old master is still the perverted old master.

Li Luosu pouted dissatisfiedly, his cheeks puffed up.

Obviously he is already the Ninth Five-Year Master, but he still has the same childish nature as before.

Duanmuyao shook his head, wondering whether he had asked him to copy too many texts before, resulting in too little time for martial arts practice, and not being tough enough to hone his character. It seems that in the future, he must continue to let General Zuo hone him.

"Peony, congratulations on finally succeeding to the throne! Oh no, you should be called His Majesty from now on."

Li Weixuan hugged Li Luosu, then let him go suddenly, at a loss for a while, not knowing what pose to pose.

Seeing her flustered, Li Luosu took the initiative to hug her again, and said: "I still like you to call me Peony, don't call me Your Majesty, I really don't want to be emperor, it would be great if you could all become my elder brothers .”

Li Weixuan and Li Haitang looked at each other, remembering the mistake that happened because of them, and said: "It's okay, Prime Minister Duanmu is still here, you will become a good emperor."

"This is a home letter from the elder sister and the others. You also know that they are far away from the mountains or are inconvenient. They can't come back, so they can only greet you in this way."

Li Haitang handed him a stack of letter paper, Li Luosu nodded and accepted it.

"Since you have succeeded to the throne, we can rest assured. The day after tomorrow, Weixuan and I will leave the palace. There will be a lot of things to do. You have to listen carefully to what Prime Minister Duanmu has to say, you know?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be better to stay a little longer?"

Li Luosu was a little sad, and he thought of the scene when his sisters got married.

Li Weixuan shook her head and said: "We also want to spend more time with you, but we also have our own mission to complete, but don't worry, what we said before still counts, if you have difficulties, we will come back to help you."

"……Um."

***

Ten days after the succession ceremony, the political affairs of the court were finally on the right track. Li Luosu stayed in the imperial study until late every day before going to bed.

Although he is the emperor, Duanmu Yao is the one who really does the work.

"Your Majesty, this is the last memorial for today. If you have no comments after reading it, I will send it to Menxia tomorrow."

Li Luosu straightened up from the table, stared blankly at Duanmu Yao in front of him, and said in a daze for a while, "Oh, Prime Minister You, it doesn't matter, you just read it, I agree with you."

"Your Majesty, you can't do this, at least take a look."

Duanmuyao spread out the folder in front of his eyes, but Li Luosu was so sleepy now that he just wanted to sleep, he said impatiently: "Well, I took a look, take it down."

Looking at the yawning little guy, Duanmu Yao had no choice but to put away the memorial.He glanced at the moment of time and saw that it was four quarters of the hour, so he asked Li Luosu, "Your Majesty, it's really too late today, why don't you take a rest at Qianping Palace nearby."

"No! I want to go back to the East Palace."

Hearing this proposal, Li Luosu swept away his drowsy look, and the expression on his face was unquestionable.

"...Okay, then I'll call for a chariot."

Although he has become the actual emperor, Li Luosu still sleeps in the East Palace. No matter how late he works every day, he does not want to rest in the Qianping Palace, which is only separated by a wall.Duanmuyao asked him why, but what the little guy said made him feel distressed.

"Father died there, so I don't want to sleep there."

Although the Ministry of Rites had objections, Duanmu Yao blocked them all for him this time. He didn't want the little guy to be under too much pressure, so he let him continue to live in the East Palace.

But Duanmuyao himself could only continue to "sleep with" Li Luosu because of "the emperor's order".Originally, he wanted to refuse, but the little guy threatened that if he disagreed, he would let the subordinate province announce it to the whole world in the form of an official edict.

If he really did this, the entire Ministry of Rites might have to resign and return home.

Duanmu Yao smiled as he thought about it, and walked towards the side hall.

"Teacher, you and I sleep in the same bed today!"

"I've said it all, don't call me Taifu anymore."

Li Luosu occasionally asked Duanmuyao to share the bed with him before, but recently such requests seem to be more and more frequent.

"Now it's not the time to govern, I just want to call you Taifu, you don't have to call me Your Majesty anymore, I want to hear you call me Peony."

Duanmuyao covered him with the quilt, looked at the little guy's expectant eyes, and suddenly thought that his treating him like this was exactly the same as the emperor's doting on him before?

He thought for a while, then just patted Li Luosu and said, "Go to sleep, good night."

***

The life of being an emperor is much more boring and difficult than Li Luosu imagined before. Even with Duanmu medicine, he still has to make decisions about political affairs, and two groups of ministers come and go in the daily court meeting. Comments and criticism made him even more upset.

Yu Lingbo has been transferred to the door of the province as a servant, and he can no longer listen to him complaining at any time as he did when he was accompanying the prince. There is no such possibility.

Seeing the household department and the Ministry of Industry arguing about taxes and water conservancy project construction funds, Li Luosu felt that they hadn't been able to convince each other for a long time, and he was afraid that they would have to go back and forth again, so he quietly relaxed his sitting position and moved his hands from Going around under the table, he tugged at the sleeve of Duanmu Yao who was sitting next to him.

"Your Majesty, please sit down and pay attention to your dignity."

Duanmu Yao didn't look at him, but just reminded him in a low voice.

I just want to ask you how long the court meeting will be over...

Li Luosu curled his lips, retracted his hands and sat upright, continuing to listen to the quarrel between the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

It's really boring.

Li Luosu found that Duanmuyao had been a lot colder towards him recently, and more and more memorials were being presented to him every day.

Even if you want to be a dedicated virtuous minister, you still have to consider how I feel!

He threw the notebooks on the table, took a pen and wrote an imperial edict to the Ministry of Education, and asked the manager beside him to take the pile of notebooks and pass the message.

"Prime Minister You, this is His Majesty's will, please don't disobey this time."

Duanmu Yao took the edict handed over by the manager, rubbed his forehead and sighed after reading it.

Are you unwilling to take your responsibilities seriously after only two days of estrangement?

Mei Shiliang saw his worried face, so she took the edict to have a look.

"I have just succeeded to the throne, and the political affairs are too complicated to handle. I have given the right to the prime ministers and the entire administrative authority of the Zhongshu Province. I only need to report to me for approval... Isn't your majesty throwing all the responsibilities to us? That's it. Can it work?"

He looked at Duanmuyao in surprise, and Duanmuyao frowned and said: "It's not that no emperor has done this before, but that was more than 100 years ago, but now it is better to let His Majesty handle political affairs with a conflicted heart. It will be more efficient to deal with it directly by us.”

Looking at the backlog of memorials on the table, Mei Shiliang had no choice but to agree with him.

***

"My lord, I heard that His Majesty recently..."

Du Zhijuan leaned close to Poppy's ear and whispered to him for a while.

"Oh, has our new emperor lost interest in political affairs so quickly? No wonder there have been fewer Zhu Zhu's approvals in the recent memorials. It turned out that they were all handed over to the Ministry of Education..."

Poppy looked at the returned note, only Duanmuyao's handwriting was on it.

"It's not a good thing to have cronyism and give power to only one person. It seems that it is necessary to give His Majesty some advice."

***

The atmosphere in Zhongshu Province these days is a bit weird.

Mei Shiliang looked at Duanmuyao who bowed his head to criticize the report, but quietly pestered him.

Duanmu Yao didn't raise his head, he said: "Is there something wrong?"

"Recently, do you have to be more careful and persuade His Majesty to be as close to the government as possible? I have heard a lot of rumors that you are a dictatorship and a powerful minister because you have been a prince and a tutor. If this continues, it will be bad for you and Your Majesty. .”

"I have been a prince and a tutor, and I am indeed a minister. As for the dictatorship and power... After all, your majesty is still young, and his time in power is short, and his temperament is not stable enough. Once the emperor and the courtiers, he still has a lot to do when the new dynasty is established. If I don’t help him control a lot of things that he doesn’t understand, it’s still a trivial matter to make mistakes in government orders, but what if he loses the throne because of this?”

"You can't say that..."

So you don't even trust me...

Li Luosu, who was planning to come to Zhongshu Province to find Duanmu medicine, heard these words before entering the door.

He stood outside the door, clenched his hands.He has never been looked down upon so much since he was a child.

Isn't it just a critic?Then let the prime minister see my strength.

***

"Qingtai, do you think I'm so unbearable?"

"Ah? Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Li Luosu stormed into the door of the door, Yu Lingbo had just finished handing over from the previous servant, and was sorting out the desk.

"Teacher, he actually underestimated me!"

Seeing Li Luosu's posture, Yu Lingbo probably wanted to chat with him about the secrets with the Tai Tuo again, thinking that for the sake of the new emperor's face, he hurriedly closed the door while there was no one in the hall.

After listening to the ins and outs, although he really wanted to say that you deserved to be wronged by the Grand Tutor, Li Luosu was the emperor after all, not the crown prince, so he had no choice but to say: "In that case, you can only wrong your Majesty to take charge of the government. , Let those rumors be self-defeating."

"I can hear you running on me. Don't take pleasure in other's misfortune just because you are now a servant of the sect and will not be under the care of the Taifu. Be careful that I will punish you for your salary."

"Oh my lord, please do me a favor, I won't dare again."

The two played for a while, and Li Luosu suddenly realized that he hadn't laughed like this for a long time.

"By the way, what are you doing?"

Yu Lingbo leaned over under the desk in the main hall, raised a floor, took out a box from it, and opened it.

"...Isn't this the jade seal that I broke when I was a child? Why is it hidden here?"

Yu Lingbo checked the crystal clear white jade in his hand. The dragon button on it was lifelike, but unfortunately it was missing a claw tip and a beard. a small corner.

"The first emperor was afraid that you would drop it again, so he handed it over to his servants for safekeeping. I only found out about it after I took over... By the way, Your Majesty, although there is no need for this jade seal, your enthronement edict three months later will require you to use it." It was stamped with a seal, but now it is missing a corner, do you want it to be repaired by the manufacturing office?"

Li Luosu looked at the jade seal, and said: "You said it's useless, so don't repair it, it's good, and it can make me think about my father..."

Looking at his expression, Yu Lingbo knew that this topic should not be brought up again, so he put Yuxi back under the desk.

The author has something to say:

Little Peony: I want the Taifu to accompany me to sleep with a pillow!

Duanmu Yao: ...Okay, okay, I will listen to you.
