Chapter 561: Being Spoiled Is a Big Taboo

The two of them did not stay in the Dazheng Palace for too long. After Nan Xi ordered them to stand up, Xuanyuan Qi and Chu Hongyi did not sit down anymore and quickly left the Dazheng Palace with their son.

On the way back to the palace from the palace, Xuanyuan Qi couldn't help but sigh: "I just realized today that my wife is really more ambitious and understands the overall situation than me."

Chu Hongyi looked at him puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"The queen's cousin and the regent are actually very good to us." Xuanyuan Qi pinched his face and felt ashamed, "I shouldn't express dissatisfaction with the regent's decision. After all, thunder and rain are all the kindness of the king, not to mention the queen. After my cousin ascended the throne, she always gave Prince Jing’s palace grace and no real thunder... On the contrary, I was a little proud of my favor and dared to be dissatisfied with the decree. "

Chu Hongyi was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty is indeed very kind to us."

"The queen's cousin asked you to make the decision to be the commander of the imperial guards. Although I was happy, I didn't feel too ashamed. However, the reaction of the regent shocked me." Xuanyuan Qi still had some lingering fears when he thought about it now, "Commander Yang You were in a high position, but you were imprisoned in a blink of an eye. The palace of the Prince of Wei was once glorious, but in a blink of an eye you were a prisoner. You were appointed as the commander of the imperial army today, and it was just a matter of a casual word from His Majesty after tea... Being a minister is an honor and a disgrace in life and death. In fact, it’s never in your own hands.”

Regardless of whether you are a favored minister or a powerful minister, relying on favor and being arrogant is a taboo.

Although both Xuanyuan Yan and Commander Yang made big mistakes, Xuanyuan Qi privately complained about his dissatisfaction, despised the king, and disrespected the will. If he was really pursued, it would also be a death penalty.

Whether he was the former Regent of Zhou Dynasty or the current Regent of Dongling, Rong Yu has never been a soft-hearted person, and his decisions will not be questioned or resisted by anyone.

Xuanyuan Qi originally thought that Nan Xi's appointment of Hong Yi as the commander of the imperial army and only being on duty for three hours a day was to compensate the newlyweds for being separated for several months. However, after seeing the reaction of the regent, he suddenly realized that there was no need to compensate?

The imperial power is supreme. Wherever the decree reaches, the orders are like mountains, and the subjects kneel in the wind, without any place to resist.

The king's decree is issued, who dares to resist? Who dares to be dissatisfied?

You have to accept the glory given by the king, and you have to accept the harsh punishment given by the king. Regardless of the glory or harsh punishment, you have to express your gratitude and receive the decree respectfully. Even if you suffer injustice, you have to swallow it with gritted teeth and blood... Since ancient times, Since then, no one who is arrogant and disrespectful of the king can live long.

Xuanyuan Qi has realized that although the dissatisfaction he once had has not turned into an act of resistance, if this mentality is allowed to grow, sooner or later it will cause disaster one day.

"It's not that serious." Chu Hongyi seemed to understand what he was thinking at this time and said calmly, "Her Majesty the Queen has not been on the throne for a long time. You may not really treat her as a king, so sometimes you inevitably lose some scruples in what you say and do. ”

Xuanyuan Qi stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her face: "I remembered what the queen's cousin once said before, something gained must be lost. Although I don't force the favor of the saint, I also understand that my wife, children, and children My life cannot tolerate my willfulness.”

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

It does not mean that the king must be a tiger, but the wealth, honor and favor of the ministers are all tied to the king. Once the king loses his heart, there is no need to find a high-sounding reason for the thunder from the sky.

Just the word "falling out of favor" is enough to bring about the demise of a mansion with countless honors and favors.

Only today did Xuanyuan Qi truly understand that the woman who could calmly call her "cousin" during the Great Zhou Dynasty had become the supreme Queen of Dongling after she returned to Dongling. All the people bowed her head and could not be offended.

The regent beside her is as hard-hearted and ruthless as ever, and will not tolerate anyone who is disrespectful to the queen.

No matter who this person is.

…

After lunch, the eldest princess moved to the side hall to accompany Hao'er. The palace servants served tea respectfully, while the wet nurse and the palace maid stood quietly aside.

Rong Yu and Nan Xi stayed alone in the dormitory for a while. Nan Xi turned to look at Rong Yu: "You came back from a long journey and you didn't even take a good bath."

Rong Yu held her hand and said, "Let's take a bath tonight."

"Let's go to the bar now. It will feel more comfortable after taking a bath." Nan Xi said, directly instructing Yin Yue to prepare clothes for Rong Yu to change into for bathing, and then smiled gently at Rong Yu, "I don't want others to serve me. Today, I am Serve your husband personally.”

Rong Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a warm and numb feeling swept through his heart instantly.

Nan Xi said: "Are you moved?"

Rong Yu nodded: "Yes."

"What's so touching about this?" Nan Xi laughed, "If you want, I can often take care of you to bathe in the future."

Rong Yu squeezed her hand and said, "I will go to Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters in the afternoon. You stay in the hall and have a good rest."

"Don't work too hard." Nan Xi's voice was gentle, "If you have any unhappy things, you can tell me, don't keep it in your heart. You can share happy things with me, and I should also share unhappy things with you."

"I'm not unhappy at all." Rong Yu shook his head and said in a low voice, "But I will come back later tonight, so you can go to bed early and don't have to wait for me."

"Come back later?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, "Who do you want to favor?"

Rong Yu had a strange look in his eyes.

"Xie Jin?"

Rong Yu was silent and said lightly: "His skin has been itchy recently, and we are planning to loosen his muscles and bones."

"Because of those five lives?"

Rong Yu's eyebrows narrowed slightly: "The Xie family's Xiaojiu is unruly, ruthless, and unpredictable... The world has a lot of comments about him, but most of them are afraid of him."

"It doesn't matter whether people are afraid of him or not. What matters is that he is indeed cold and indifferent." Nan Xi seemed to clearly understand Rong Yu's thoughts. "If Xie Jin was just the legitimate son of the Xie family, then his cold nature would have nothing to do with others, and you would not touch him. But his status is different now. He has entered the government as an official, serving the regent, and moving towards the goal of being a powerful minister. He cannot be allowed to ignore the lives of others."

Whether he is a fifth-rank councilor or a first-rank powerful minister, since he has entered the court as an official, he should face his responsibilities.

From the moment he entered the officialdom, it is the responsibility of every official in the court to maintain the stability of the court and ensure the safety of the people of Dongling with his own strength and within his ability.

In places where his sight cannot reach and his ears cannot hear, he may have nothing to do with him if something happens. However, those innocent people who died due to negligence under his nose are the consequences he must bear.

The word "powerful minister" is extremely heavy.

It is not just because of great power, but heavy responsibility.

Since he wants to be a powerful official, he must first understand that this road is not a road to glory for himself, nor is it a tacit understanding and cooperation between the king and his officials based on mutual trust and loyalty, but a responsibility to the people of the world and a cherishment of life.
