Chapter 188 My Wife, You Are Not Permitted to Interrogate Me
Before the imperial edict to confer the title of empress was issued, Li Beichen was concerned about Gu Lanzhi's thoughts and reputation, so he didn't want to get too close to her. Even when he went to see Gu Lanzhi at night, he had to be careful to avoid people and not let anyone see him.
Now that Gu Lanzhi had agreed and the imperial decree had been issued to make her queen, Li Beichen no longer had to hide anything. He wished he could move out all the good things and bring them to the Marquis' Mansion, hoping that the First Lady would agree to his marriage with Gu Lanzhi.
In fact, Li Beichen is the emperor. If he wants someone, he only needs to issue an imperial edict. Who would dare to disobey the imperial edict? Why would he need the consent of the first lady?
But Li Beichen's attention to Gu Lanzhi is not just lip service. He also doesn't want the people in the Marquis' Mansion to have no objection to Gu Lanzhi being his queen just because he is the emperor.
What Li Beichen wants is the recognition of Gu Lanzhi's relatives. What he wants is recognition of Li Beichen as a person, not Li Beichen's identity.
Therefore, Li Beichen attached great importance to this visit to the Marquis' Mansion and went to his private warehouse to pick things out personally.
Gu Lanzhi followed Li Beichen curiously, looking at the things in his private vault.
After Gu Lanzhi traveled through time and space and obtained all the memories of his original body, he could naturally tell whether these things were good or bad. The more he looked, the higher his eyebrows raised.
"Your Majesty, there are so many good things!" Gu Lanzhi teased Li Beichen with a smile.
Li Beichen turned around and looked at Gu Lanzhi, and naturally took Gu Lanzhi's hand.
"If you like, everything here is yours," Li Beichen said without any hesitation.
Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows even higher, "So generous!"
Li Beichen scratched Gu Lanzhi's nose in annoyance, "I am yours, so these things are nothing! As long as you like, I will give you the entire Dongshun Kingdom with both hands."
Gu Lanzhi didn't doubt Li Beichen's words at all, because Li Beichen, like Gu Lanzhi, didn't regard the throne as important.
Li Beichen went through untold hardships to take back the throne, not because he liked this position so much, but because this position originally belonged to him.
It was also his father's last wish to let Li Beichen ascend the throne.
Li Beichen can give up the throne on his own, but you cannot seize it by force.
What's more, Li Beirui had allowed his mother to be humiliated so much in the past, and Li Beichen had to be monitored by Li Beirui even though he was far away in his fiefdom.
Even if Li Beichen was a clay figure, he would be forced to rebel by Li Beirui, right? Not to mention that the throne should have belonged to Li Beichen.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and several other ministers are waiting for Your Majesty in the Imperial Study." The eunuch came to report.
Li Beichen and Gu Lanzhi had just finished selecting gifts for the people in the Marquis' Mansion, and they hadn't even left the private store yet.
Li Beichen frowned slightly, "Did you say anything?"
Li Beichen was going to the Marquis' Mansion with Gu Lanzhi. Now that those ministers came to make trouble, Li Beichen felt a little unhappy.
The eunuch glanced at Gu Lan secretly, then lowered his head and said nothing more.
Li Beichen and Gu Lanzhi both saw the look in the eunuch's eyes, and they both knew why these ministers came.
Just as Gu Lanzhi was about to let go of Li Beichen's hand, Li Beichen held it even tighter.
Gu Lanzhi looked at Li Beichen helplessly. He knew what Li Beichen meant by holding his hand, but Gu Lanzhi didn't like intrigue, and he didn't like to flatter those old guys.
"Lanzhi, come with me and take a look. After we send those old guys away, we will go directly to the Marquis' Mansion.
You don't need to say anything, just wait for me."
Li Beichen knows Gu Lanzhi so well, how could he not know what Gu Lanzhi doesn't like!
Li Beichen wanted Gu Lanzhi to follow him. Besides wanting those old foxes to understand his attitude towards the queen, he also wanted to make those people talk less with Gu Lanzhi around.
Watching them fighting openly and secretly every day in court was enough to make Li Beichen upset. Now he was not allowed to calm down. He just issued an imperial decree to make her the queen. Why did they rush to the palace to find him in such a hurry?
Li Beichen held Gu Lanzhi's hand tightly and walked into the imperial study together.
There were five ministers waiting for Li Beichen in the imperial study. When they saw Li Beichen walking in holding Gu Lanzhi's hand, the five ministers exchanged glances and knelt down respectfully to pay their respects.
Li Beichen knew what they wanted to say, so he didn't give them a good look, nor did he let them stand up, but made them kneel.
Li Beichen first took Gu Lanzhi by the hand and sent him to the inner room and placed him on the couch. He also carefully prepared tea and snacks for Gu Lanzhi and gave him a few instructions before walking out of the inner room.
Because Li Beichen did not let these ministers stand up, they still knelt on the ground.
Li Beichen looked at them with annoyance and said coldly, "If it's because of the matter of the queen, then you can get lost.
The Queen is my wife, the one who will share my bed and accompany me for the rest of my life, not a weapon for your intrigues.
My wife, only my holy heart is the dictatorship, and you are not allowed to interfere."
Li Beichen's words left no room for the ministers. They knelt on the ground and exchanged glances.
They knew in their hearts that this trip to the palace was in vain, and His Majesty might even resent them for their meddling.
The current emperor is not the previous Li Beirui. Although the current emperor is not a dictator, his thoughts are definitely not influenced by the ministers like them.
Several ministers exchanged glances for a while, but no one dared to step forward.
Li Beichen watched them arguing impatiently, and was already thinking about how to reorganize the court and clear out these self-righteous old guys who relied on their seniority.
