Chapter 734: Shackles
"You want me to change my name to me?"
"Um."
"You are so courageous, I thought you would directly change your mind."
"Facing the sect, the Prime Minister's Office needs the royal family and an emperor surnamed Li who holds real power and is willing to continue Jiajing's rule as a collaborator."
"That's an interesting suggestion. You must have approached someone else before, right?"
"Um."
He looked her straight in the eyes, waiting for a reply.
In the Golden Palace, discussing such a treasonous thing, Li Qingyan's face gradually became more interested, and he moved his gaze from Xu Yuan to the dragon chair on the golden steps. The tail of his slender eyes was slightly curved, leisurely. chuckle:
"No one dares to take this coveted ninety-five position. Changtian, why do you think this is?"
"As the king of the world, you must bear the responsibilities of the world."
Regarding this issue, Xu Yuan did not hesitate.
Although his father resembles Wei Wu, the Dayan royal family is not the emperor of the late Han Dynasty. It is completely nonsense to say that he is afraid of becoming a puppet emperor after ascending the throne.
With the imperial party at his side and righteousness at his side, Emperor Dayan is still the most powerful person in the world no matter from which point of view.
Hearing this, Li Qingyan frowned slightly and murmured:
"It seems that those who rejected you before me felt that they were not qualified to bear the responsibility of this world."
Xu Yuan recalled briefly and said:
"Li Yucheng was born into the royal family at the wrong time. As for Li Yunqing, he should not have been born into the royal family at all."
"So, you now think that I have the ability to shoulder the responsibility of this world?"
"Um."
"good."
".ah?"
"I have agreed, what do you want to do?"
"."
The stone pillars are dull and mute, and the hall is dark and deep.
The red robe fell to the ground, and Li Qingyan sat on the low table, looking up at him with a pair of phoenix eyes with a smile, and the dark pupils in the phoenix eyes were deep and straight.
This direct answer made Xu Yuan's thoughts freeze for a moment, but he was relieved when he thought of the other party's temper.
The person in front of him now is neither Li Yunqing, who is wise and wise in protecting himself, nor Li Yucheng, who is self-aware, but the Great Flame Killing God who dares to make a desperate attempt to attack the enemy's main camp in a desperate situation.
After thinking about his words for a moment, Xu Yuan's lips parted, and Li Qingyan raised his hand to interrupt him. She asked this question not for him to answer, because he couldn't answer.
If you insist on answering, you can only tell some lies.
Under Xu Yuan's gaze, Li Qingyan's gentle voice was like rustling through paper:
"After returning to the capital and away from the war, I couldn't take any time off, but I had nothing to do, so I kept thinking about some things in the palace. I thought about the world, the emperor, my bloodline, etc., among which I also thought about myself. The possibility of the palace ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, but what do you think my final conclusion will be?”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's heart sank slightly and asked:
"Do you want to refuse too?"
Li Qingyan did not answer this question directly, but talked about some miscellaneous things:
"Changtian, do you know why everyone from the Imperial Family to the Cloth Clothes Trading Company considers abolishing the eldest son and establishing a concubine and the youngest as a taboo?"
Xu Yuan replied while thinking about the motive of the woman in front of him:
"Emperor and courtiers, whether they are business travelers, retainers, diners, or nobles and courtiers, all need certainty. The inheritance of the eldest son allows them to rest assured and boldly put all their wealth on the gambling table. Without the eldest son's inheritance, every dynasty will Every transfer of power is likely to lead to strife and turmoil.”
"Then why haven't your prime minister's office and my royal family followed this principle in this life?"
"."
Hearing this question, Xu Yuan frowned slightly.
The answer to this question can be very simple. The prestige of the emperor and the prime minister today is too high. Everything about the emperor's party and the prime minister's party revolves around the two of them. Even if the elder is abolished and the younger is established, there will not be much resistance. However, this is obviously not what Li Qingyan wants. refer to.
What she said was about something deeper.
In peacetime, everyone wants their own piece of land, but the foreseeable future will never be peaceful. As the two largest ships in the world today, both the Xiangdang and the royal family need a better helmsman to protect themselves and lead them towards the dark future of turbulent waves.
In the time of life and death, survival is the first criterion, and ancestral system, stability, and all ethical principles must always be put aside.
The ministers in the prime minister's party did not think highly of the tough Xu Changge, and the royal family members doubted Li Yucheng's kindheartedness. This was the deepest reason why the prime minister's office and the royal family could be deposed without any hindrance.
If the emperor is allowed to have a baby, and if the prime minister is allowed to have those four daughters, no matter how prestigious the two of them are, the ministers and nobles below will all be furious and refute, "This is a random fate, and there is no need to respect it."
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan instantly understood the meaning of Li Qingyan's words.
Didn't answer, couldn't answer.
Even if Li Yaoxuan personally issued a posthumous edict to establish a female emperor, the imperial party would denounce it as a random order.
Because he Xu Yuan.
Because of his engagement with her.
The Prime Minister's Mansion and the royal family are both entrenched in the center. There are too many contradictions and too many conflicts of interest between the two.
He, Xu Yuan, has already made it clear that he is the future head of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
How big a heart must be in the imperial party to allow Li Yaoxuan to hand over the throne to his bedmate, the future head of the Prime Minister's Palace.
Listening to the silence around him, Li Qingyan slowly stood up from the low table, looked at the dragon chair, and sighed quietly:
"Thousands of years of imperial dynasty, there is no shortage of alliances in the world. During the thousand years of the Yan Dynasty, the emperor welcomed Princess Tatar Chao into the palace as his concubine several times. However, even if they were defeated and driven deep into the desert, the Tatars Chao Wangting also never agreed to send their goddess to my Dayan Palace."
Speaking of which,
Li Qingyan walked up the golden steps, his footsteps echoed, his eyes were as quiet as water, and his words rippled:
"In the whole world, there is no such thing as a marriage between the emperor and the emperor. If you ask me to change my name to "me", have you ever thought about how you would deal with it?"
When she reached the top of the golden steps, she looked back at the man under the golden steps:
"Are you planning to commit suicide, or are you planning to sail into the sea like my imperial brother?"
Xu Yuan followed the woman's graceful figure with his eyes and solemnly replied:
"This is the best solution, otherwise even if we work together to pacify the sect, there will be another war between the emperor and the prime minister."
Standing on the golden steps,
Carrying the Nine-Five Dragon Chair,
Li Qingyan suddenly smiled, dazzlingly:
"For personal matters, I can follow the future you describe, but my country and my family are no joke. Even if I want to believe you, others don't believe me.
"and,
"Changtian, no matter how much you hate Li Zhaoyuan, you should not ask this question. Such an impulsive act is too inconsistent with your behavior in front of the palace to bear the sins of the world."
The words fell,
The hole in the dome reflected a gloomy light, accompanied by a few drops of rain, falling on the body of the woman in red.
There was silence in the hall for a moment,
After a long while,
Li Qingyan looked at him as if he was considering a way to break the situation. He shook his head slightly and said softly:
"Let's not talk about it for now. We haven't seen you for so long. Do you want to go with me for a walk?"
Listening to her quietly changing self-identification, Xu Yuan sighed lightly, but without saying anything more, he stepped up the golden steps:
"You are still the same as before, unchanged at all."
Hearing this, Li Qingyan lowered his eyes and stared at the cracked hole beside the low table:
"You have changed a lot."
Coming closer, Xu Yuan glanced at the unmanned dragon chair on the golden steps, followed Li Qingyan out of the Golden Palace from the royal road behind the Kowloon screen, and asked back:
"Oh? What changed?"
Li Qingyan walked beside the man, bending his eyes and smiling slightly:
"It looks better."
Xu Yuan was a little helpless, glanced at her and said:
"shallow."
Li Qingyan shook his head, raised his delicate hand and made a fist, gently tapped his heart with the back of his hand, and said with a smile:
"I mean inside, it looks better than before."
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked out of the Jinluan Palace from the imperial gate, followed the imperial corridor with carved beams and painted pillars, and entered the harem.
Li Qingyan looked at the gloomy sky outside and asked leisurely:
"In the past, you always made people feel out of place and untrustworthy. But when we meet today, I don't feel this way anymore. Is this change because of the princess who died in the war?"
"."
Mentioning Li Junwu, Xu Yuan's heart surged and he was silent for a moment:
"Why are you talking about her suddenly?"
Li Qingyan looked at his profile and smiled:
"People who like to go it alone are boring gourds. They like to keep everything in their hearts. You didn't have anyone around you to talk to before. The leader of the Sword Sect has a cold temperament. When he sees that you are sad, the most he can do is stay quietly by your side. , that saint, when it comes to matters involving men and women, she might even say some venomous words to you. As for the people in your prime minister's house, the prime minister is also a dull gourd, and your elder brother, forgive me, I really can't imagine Xu Changge comforting you."
Along with the trickling water beside the corridor, the woman gently took his hand, her slender and dense eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was slow and complex:
"There are some things that are kept in your heart and you will always feel depressed. Talking them out will make you feel a lot better."
