Chapter 297
However, within three days, the third prince was beheaded on the spot and Li Yan was imprisoned because the imperial forest army turned against him. The rest of the rebellious party, seeing that the new emperor was gone, surrendered, committed suicide, and anyone who wanted to resist would be killed.
That night, the lights in the imperial city were transparent, like a city that never sleeps.
Zheng Zhinan and Mr. Xu entered the imperial city with a small group of guards the next day. At that time, everything was settled. They came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation that had been cleared out overnight. Li Yan sat behind the table and watched In front of him shouted long live and fell to his knees, there was also Zheng Zhinan.
He slowly walked down the steps, came to Zheng Zhinan, pulled him up, and waved to the others, so that they can rest early today, and there is no rush to solve anything today, eat a full meal, and sleep soundly .
After everyone left, the unshaven Li Yao pulled Zheng Zhinan to the dragon chair, asked him to sit with him, and said to him: "Li Yan has been imprisoned in the prison, you can go anytime , I will do what I promise you."
Zheng Zhinan's eyes lit up when he heard that Li Yan had been imprisoned.
Then he stood up from the dragon chair and prepared to kneel down to give thanks.
Blocked by Li Yao's hand, he said, "You don't need to kneel in front of me."
"But you are the emperor. When you were the prince, the slave kneeled down. When you were the prince, the slave kneeled. It doesn't make sense. Now that you are the emperor, the slave doesn't have to kneel." Neither humble nor overbearing, the tone was calm, like It's the same as talking about what you ate today.
Li Yao asked him to sit back on the dragon chair and said, "Because I am the emperor now, I can do whatever I say." He looked straight at Zheng Zhinan, expressing his firmness.
Zheng Zhinan looked into his eyes and said after a long time, "Okay."
Ever since the night when he came out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion with Zheng Zhinan in his arms, the two of them had fallen asleep together. In order to reassure Zheng Zhinan's heart, Li Yao made him sleep more securely, and also for his own reassurance. After that incident, Zheng Zhinan He became quieter than before, but he also had the trouble of getting flustered when he couldn't see Zheng Zhinan, and he always took him with him wherever he went.
This habit has been up until now, although he slept with Zheng Zhinan, he had never touched Zheng Zhinan, he was worried that Zhinan had already cast a shadow on this matter, and he had never acted excessively towards him.
Zheng Zhinan looked at Li Yao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Zhinan... don't call yourself a slave in front of me in the future. I never regarded you as my slave. Not in the palace, not in the palace, and still not. I used to have no ability to change this phenomenon, but now I have You have the supreme right, you can do whatever you want, in the future, I only want you to be able to do whatever you want."
"it is good."
At night, Zheng Zhinan stayed in Li Yao's bedroom.
The soft pillows on the high bed made it a little uncomfortable to sleep on, even worse than the hard beds in the camp.
Zheng Zhinan was sleeping on the inside, with his back facing Li Yao who was lying on the outside, Li Yao's sleeping position was always regular, Zheng Zhinan's eyes were closed, but his head was unusually clear.
He couldn't sleep, his mind was full of the matter of concubines being drafted and concubines filling the harem.
When Mr. Xu didn't tell him about this matter, he never thought about it. He naturally knew that Zhao Yining, who liked the prince, was useless and would definitely be executed. She conveyed the details of King Jin to the prince. It was a capital crime, not to mention deceiving King Jin and doing treasonous and deceitful things. From the time she did these things, the fate of the Zhao family was doomed.
Therefore, Li Yao, who officially ascended the throne, needs a queen who presides over the harem, and several noble concubines to achieve a balance with the queen.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhinan turned over and faced the man lying beside him.
He has completely faded away the youthful aura between youth and youth. He is an upright man with broad shoulders, a tall figure, and well-proportioned muscles. When he was silent, his eyes were as sharp as ice, and when he smiled, it reminded people of the good times when they were teenagers. This man has shared the bed with him since four years ago, and they have seen everything they can see and can't see. over and over.
He hadn't been an idiot for the past four years, so it was natural to see Li Yao's earnest attention to him and his undisguised love and care for him.
Moreover, this guy is very, very attached to him, and he also wanted to sleep with him separately. At that time, he had completely walked out of the shadow of being hurt by Li Yan. I packed my bedding and made a bed in the next room, but in the middle of the night this guy silently took the pillow and crawled into his bed in his underwear.Said confidently: "I can't sleep alone." It means that we have been sleeping together for two years, and we have long been used to your existence, but you left.
In fact, before Li Yao came over, Zheng Zhinan hadn't fallen asleep either. Indeed, the two of them had slept together for a long time, and he would have some physical discomforts when he slept alone. Moreover, the winter night was cold, so he couldn't put the quilt on by himself. It was so warm, when Li Yao got in like a big stove, he even felt very comfortable, so warm and comfortable.
Perhaps because he was greedy for the warmth, he didn't insist on continuing to sleep alone, and then told himself that after this winter, he would sleep alone. In summer, it was hot, so there was no need for such a big stove to lie beside him.
But he was too busy later on, and he never thought about sleeping separately again.
until now.
Now, it won't be long before we really have to separate.
Thinking of this man's protection and care, Zheng Zhinan approached Li Yao.
They have shared the same bed for so many years, and the most intimate behavior is that after he fell asleep, he would automatically roll into his arms and hug him.
No one can change this kind of thing that cannot be controlled by himself, and he will automatically ignore it later, just hug him, anyway, after he falls asleep, he can't decide whether to hug this person at all.
So Zheng Zhinan's approach didn't make Li Yao feel surprised or strange, on the contrary, the moment Zheng Zhinan posted it, he turned over and put his hands on Zheng Zhinan's body.
This is the position they often wake up to find each other hugging.
Naturally.
Zheng Zhinan looked at Li Yao's facial contours in the dark, but he couldn't see clearly, he could only see a general outline.
After going through many things in his mind, he took the initiative to kiss Li Yao.
There is a feeling of pity.
Only when Li Yao was around Zheng Zhinan could he be so bewildered, but his vigilance still existed. When he found that Zheng Zhinan was kissing him, Li Yao was ecstatic in his heart. This was the first time Zheng Zhinan took the initiative to kiss him. In fact, he had He secretly kissed Zheng Zhinan who was sleeping, and because he was afraid of waking him up, he just left quickly, as if he could quench his thirst, but of course the effect was mediocre, and the consequence was that he had to take several cold showers before he could lie next to him again, and at the same time I also need to read a few scriptures to calm my heart.
Li Yao's response was enthusiastic. He was afraid that Zheng Zhinan's behavior would be fleeting, so he held on tightly when he saw any signs.
When Li Yao sat up and held Zheng Zhinan in his arms and kissed him on the cheek, he asked him softly, "If you are afraid, I will stop immediately."
Sweat dripped from Zheng Zhinan's face, he wrapped his arms around Li Yao's neck and shook his head.
"No, you come." The decision that has been made will not be regretted at will.
Just like the decision he made at the beginning, he will implement it to the end.
All in all, he will do it.
The next day, Zheng Zhinan didn't wake up until noon. After waking up, Li Yao, who was handling government affairs next to him, found out, and immediately called someone to bring Zheng Zhinan tea, rinse his mouth and cleanse his face.
It was very late last night, and it was even later when Zheng Zhinan asked for a bath, so Li Yao didn't call Zheng Zhinan for anything today, nor did he ask someone to come over to disturb them, but took everything to the bedroom to deal with.
Zheng Zhinan's expression was as usual, and he didn't feel uncomfortable because of the servants and maids around. Anyway, as early as four years ago, some people thought that he was Li Yao's favorite man, but today the rumors were confirmed.
After sleeping for a long time, apart from some hidden pain and discomfort, Zheng Zhinan felt that he could bear it, so he didn't appear weak. After eating, he participated in Li Yao's activities as if nothing had happened. Come at work.
Li Yao was worried that he was not feeling well, and wanted him to rest, but was also rejected.
He knew that Zheng Zhinan was actually more stubborn than him sometimes, so he didn't continue to dissuade him, but just speeded up the work in hand.
After being busy for almost half a month like this, many things finally took shape and regulations. Regarding the enthronement ceremony in January, various departments such as the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian began to operate.
Without the participation of the clan mansion, because now except for the distant relatives whose bloodlines are almost cut off from the Li family, almost all the descendants of the direct line have died. Li Yan in prison and Li Yao who will be enthroned in January.
There are no concubines, no children of the royal family, and the clan mansion has no chance to show up. Now it is like a decoration, and Li Yao has taken all the rights. The officials here have also been dismissed. It is as empty as a harem. Everything belonging to the clan was destroyed, as if they wanted to destroy the nearly 200 years of history that the Li family had ruled the country.
After Zheng Zhinan finished dealing with the matter at hand, he took the people to the sky prison that had been cleaned up long ago, as if he was going to the back garden to see the scenery. He probably knew that Zheng Zhinan would come today, and the sky prison, which still had some smell in the past, specially lit incense and smoked it. After four weeks, there was no bad smell.
Li Yao knew that he would come over today, and he also knew that he always loved Jie.
When Zheng Zhinan came in front of Li Yan, the first thing he did was to cut off his tongue with his own hands. In front of the prison boss and everyone behind him, he looked at the screaming Li Yan expressionlessly, and stabbed him with a fork. His severed tongue was forked and thrown into the charcoal basin next to him.
The sound of sizzling barbecue blood oozing out and being roasted and evaporated made the well-informed prison head feel a little pain in the base of his tongue, he took a step back unconsciously, swallowed his saliva and lowered his eyes.
