Golden Palace.

After nearly a month of morning court, Xiao Changyuan finally went to court today with great compassion.

The civil and military officials finally saw the saint and cried with joy. They expressed their strength in front of Xiao Changyuan.

During this period, Xiao Changyuan uprooted the Rui King Party from the court and killed them all. Most of the remaining ministers were flattering old foxes.

On the surface, everyone was reporting their duties, but in fact they were singing praises, and they blew Xiao Changyuan's achievements into scattering light.

The other ministers agreed.

The court gradually became a little noisy.

The young and cold emperor sat upright on the throne of the golden dragon, with cold eyes and arrogant posture, and occasionally twisted his eyebrows with his hands, as if he was a little impatient when he heard it.

"Shut up to me."

The emperor's voice was cold and gloomy.

The civil and military officials were so scared that their faces were pale. They lowered their heads and held their breath to concentrate. They did not dare to make any sounds. Although they wanted to be promoted and made a fortune, they were even more afraid of death. This tyrant was moody and unpredictable. It was very difficult to please. Maybe they would lose their lives.

Everyone dared not take this risk again.

There is a silence in the Golden Palace, and the needles can be heard.

Xiao Changyuan raised his sinister cold eyes and looked down at the ministers in the hall. He said with a cold voice: "If you can't tell a serious matter, I will destroy the dynasty meeting."

All civil and military officials were so scared that they were sweating in a cold sweat.

The Dali Temple Minister bowed his head and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report..."

"explain."

"I have found evidence of the corruption and abuse of power in Kuizhou magistrate Wang Yaohui, and asked His Majesty to take a look."

The eunuch took the account book from the Dali Temple Minister and delivered it to Xiao Changyuan. Xiao Changyuan flipped it over, raised his cold eyes and slowly looked at the Dali Temple Minister.

"In your opinion, what should this slanderous minister be guilty of?"

The minister of Dali Temple bowed his head and said, "Wang Yaohui has greedy for 200,000 taels of ink, which is far beyond the laws and regulations. He should implicate the three tribes and be punished with hang. A total of nine people. His son Wang Ce has been executed in Sishan County, so the execution should be eight people."

Xiao Changyuan said sinisterly: "Execute immediately and hang their heads on the city wall to serve as a warning to others."

"Yes, your Majesty."

After the court was dispersed, all civil and military officials whispered: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly investigate the governor of Kuizhou?"

Half a month ago, Xiao Changyuan suddenly ordered the investigation of the Gangzhou magistrate and put all his family in the heavenly prison.

"I heard that it was because Wang Ce, the son of the magistrate of Kuizhou, offended the queen in Sishan County..."

"So it's true. Your Majesty values ​​the Queen so much, no wonder His Majesty gets angry."

"No one can offend the queen..."

At noon that day, the imperial guards climbed the city tower and hung eight bloody heads at the city gate. The picture was extremely bloody, and the city wall was surrounded by people waiting and watching.

"What crime did they commit?"

"I heard it's greedy."

"I have greedy for more than 300,000 taels..."

"I have a nephew who works as a worker in Dali Temple. He said these people were executed because they offended the queen."

"Then is this prefect really greedy or fake?"

"Who knows..."

"Oh, Your Majesty is so bloody and cruel, no wonder our queen is going to run away..."

...

After Xiao Changyuan went to court, Yun Pianpian stayed in the bedroom a little bored, so he wanted to go to the imperial garden to stroll around.

Liu Shun followed her. He was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Xiao Changyuan went to court and sent him to Yun Pianpian to serve him.

Because the palace people dared not look up at Yun Pianpian, during this period, Yun Pianpian only remembered Liu Shun's face, and she was a little curious about this eunuch.

Mainly because of curiosity about the relationship between Liu Shun and Xiao Changyuan.

In history, all the tyrants had a favored eunuch around them. Although Liu Shun was following Xiao Changyuan, Yun Pianpian felt that Xiao Changyuan did not seem to be close to Liu Shun. In other words, Xiao Changyuan seemed to be no longer close to anyone except her.

Yun Pianpian sat in the pavilion pavilion, picked up the porcelain white tea cup, took a sip of tea, and asked Liu Shun: "How long have Eunuch Liu been following His Majesty?"

Liu Shun said respectfully: "I met Your Majesty several times when I was a child. After Your Majesty ascended the throne, I have been with Your Majesty for two years."

Yun Pianpian was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shun only followed Xiao Changyuan for two years.

Yun Pianpian really wanted to know what Xiao Changyuan had when he was a child: "How did you meet him?"

Liu Shun whispered: "Your Majesty was in a very miserable life when he was a child. At that time, he was locked in a tiger cage by the former emperor, and he could not eat enough to fill his stomach and his body was not covered. The slave felt that His Majesty was pitiful, so he secretly gave His Majesty a few times in the night. Later, the slave's master learned about this matter and sent him to the washing clothes bureau. After that, the slave never saw His Majesty again. Until His Majesty ascended the throne and became emperor, he accidentally saw his Majesty sweeping. He seemed to remember his Majesty, so he directly promoted his Majesty from a sweeping eunuch to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Yun Pianpian felt a little confused when she heard Liu Shun's words. She knew that Xiao Changyuan had a miserable childhood, but she did not expect that Xiao Changyuan was so miserable that he could not eat enough to cover his body.

Liu Shun lowered his head and continued, "Everyone said that Your Majesty was cruel and bloodthirsty, but the slave felt that Your Majesty was not as bad as they said. Whoever was a little bad to him would give him ten times, but whoever was a little nicer to him would give him back a hundred times. If it weren't for Your Majesty, the slave would have been just a sweeping eunuch in his life."

In fact, Liu Shun gave Xiao Changyuan steamed buns not all because of kindness. He also had other thoughts. At that time, Xiao Changyuan was imprisoned and betting on Xiao Changyuan's future. He wanted to use these steamed buns to bet for his bright future.

As it turns out, Liu Shun's choice was not wrong.

It's like now that he said this to Yun Pianpian. On the surface, he was talking for Xiao Changyuan, but in fact he was showing his loyalty to her.

Only the emperor and the empress are loving.

Only in his position can he be stable.

Yun Pianpian suddenly understood why Xiao Changyuan had never hated her after learning the truth.

Because he has been suffering all his life.

Only she gave him sweetness.

Yun Pianpian's eyes became slightly moist.

She looked up at Liu Shun and asked, "Do you know what's going on with the twelve heroes?"

"Why didn't Pianpian ask me directly?"

Xiao Changyuan's cold and low voice came.

Yun Pianpian turned around and found that the water pavilion pavilion was full of palace servants. Xiao Changyuan raised his foot and walked towards her. His handsome face seemed a little unhappy.

"Why aren't you waiting for me in the bedroom?"

Yun Pianpian said, "I'm bored alone."

"Then I won't go to court in the future."

Yun Pianpian: "..."

You tyrant are too willful.

Xiao Changyuan retreated from the left and right, and Liu Shun retreated respectfully. All the palace people left here, and only the two of them were left in the water pavilions.

Yun Pianpian pulled him down at the white jade table and poured him a cup of tea. Xiao Changyuan picked up the tea cup and took two sips of tea, raised his thick black eyelashes, and looked at Yun Pianpian.

"Pianpian is interested in the twelve heroes?"

Yun Pianpian said: "In history, you were criticized as a tyrant because you killed twelve heroes."

Xiao Changyuan laughed coldly: "I am a tyrant who has a strong voice. How can I use these twelve ants to establish my infamy?"

Yun Pianpian: "..."

Why do your tone sound so arrogant?

Are you still proud of being a tyrant?

"Why did your husband kill them?"

"Because they rebel."

Yun Pianpian was stunned: "They are really against each other?"

In the original work, the people had talked about this matter with complaints. The twelve heroes were involved in the rebellion case and were strangled by Xiao Changyuan to throw their heads to the city wall. Everyone said that this was a cunning rabbit and a lackey. The twelve heroes were so powerful that Xiao Changyuan was afraid to kill them.

Yun Pianpian thought it was strange when he watched this passage.

No matter how great these heroes are, they will never be able to surpass Xiao Changyuan who unified the five countries...

Seeing the hesitation in Yun Pianpian's eyes, Xiao Changyuan said unhesitantly: "The Xu family did not rebel, but everyone said that Xu family was rebelling. Now the twelve heroes are really rebelling, but everyone doesn't believe it. Did Pianpian not believe it?"

"I believe it."

Yun Pianpian looked at Xiao Changyuan seriously.

Xiao Changyuan's expression was slightly restrained.

Yun Pianpian said, "No matter what your husband says, I will trust you, and I will always believe you only."
