Even the soldiers' various equipment is still relatively regular.

After the Liao family was finished, there was no subsidy from the Liao family, and the military salary in the northwest became even less.

Until one day, it was simply not a penny.

The soldier was so hungry that he could not practice at all, and had to lie in bed and remain inactive in order to maintain the lowest level of life.

In the end, many people couldn't bear it anymore and became deserters.

As a result, some high-pressure policies were introduced, which led to a mutiny, snatching part of the supply and running away with a team of men.

Later, in order to survive, they simply became bandits and robbers wanted in the imperial court.

The Northwest has become, and it is no longer the original Northwest.

When the emperor received the news, he regretted it at first, and the small actions he made to the Liao family were a little too much.

If he had known that was the case, he should have used a soft knife.

But soon, he threw that regret away.

He is the true son of the dragon, how can he do wrong?

Even if he did something wrong, it was also the courtier's fault, and it was never him who was wrong.

In the emperor's opinion, the Liao family has been carrying it by itself all these years, isn't it just to show off that they have a thick family background?

In addition, I feel that the imperial court is inseparable from the Liao family.

Scold!

Also, the Liao family has been buying people's hearts in the northwest.

Damn it!

People in the northwest only remember the Liao family, but they don't remember that it was also the territory of the imperial court.

The more the emperor thinks about it, the more it is reasonable, so the Liao family is still dead, and would rather not have the northwest than the Liao family to make a name for themselves in the northwest.

But the Northwest thing, he's thinking about what to do?

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

The emperor has found that now those generals are all more and less contributing, but they need to rest assured (stupid emperor).

After all these years, the emperor has aged nearly twenty years.

From a young and handsome guy, he suddenly became a greasy man with a receding hairline, little and white hair on his head, and a somewhat half-bald head.

Even, under his eyes, there are not a lot of bags under his eyes.

His appearance has all collapsed, like a bad old man.

If the client is there, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize who it is?

is even worse than Yu Ying, who has cultivated Qi Cultivation, and it is impossible to see that the two people are of the same age.

Of course, there were no people who met and did not know.

The emperor, who had been tired for a day, did not come up with a solution in the end.

Without money and food, the northwest can only go into chaos.

Even for those officials in the northwest, the emperor was beyond the reach of the whip.

Alas!

Just make do with it.

In the end, he finally finished dealing with those more twists and turns tomorrow, and he could rest.

At this moment, he is already too tired to do it.

But after reviewing so many folds, his brain cells were so active that he couldn't sleep at all, so he sat and walked back to the harem.

Now he rarely pampers those concubines, and he has no energy to deal with those little goblins.

He just went to the harem and walked around, and the emperor asked him to stop.

Then, he stepped down.

There used to be a palace here, but now it has been completely demolished.

The raging fire more than ten years ago is no longer visible.

There are a lot of acacia trees planted here, and they grow very luxuriantly.

In the most central position, a small Buddhist shrine was built, and the emperor walked there and looked at this Buddhist shrine.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth drooped, with deep nasolabial folds.

That once handsome and handsome man has long since turned into a ruthless emperor.

He stood for a moment, silent.

In the night, the shadows of the trees swayed, and he stood there like a statue.

I don't know how long it took, but he turned around and came out, and got on his step.

His face didn't change much, he was used to being alone as an emperor.

However, he is not in a happy mood at the moment.

Today is her birthday, but for a long time, he has not remembered, in his heart, always remember the humiliation that once been.

Until that fire, cut off all ties between them.

But so what?

Since his father said that he would keep her, for the sake of Dahong's life.

Then even if she dies, she will be here forever.

What made the emperor very regretful was that about the phoenix life, the father and the Liao family reached an agreement that they should not tell others casually, so the father did not inform him about this matter.

If he had known the so-called phoenix life, then he would naturally have adopted other methods for the Liao family's daughter.

Ay!

She should have been allowed to have a child in the first place, and generally people who have children to worry about will not die easily.

It's a pity that when he learned about the so-called phoenix life from the notes left by his father, the daughter of the Liao family committed suicide one step earlier.

It was even abolished because of the violation of palace rules.

He can't do anything when he wants to, after all, the reason for the abolition of the Liao family girl is his own words.

He can't slap himself in the face.

Besides, the dead don't come back to life.

However, he believes that since life is a royal person, then death is a royal ghost.

While the emperor was walking, the palace doors opened one by one.

Then after the step has passed, close it again.

After all, it's late, and all the doors in the palace will be locked when the time comes.

Not to let people wander around each other in the palace, even the supreme ruler and the emperor must abide by this rule.

Even he does it once a day.

The chamberlains are still waiting for the emperor, unlocking and locking, and doing so again and again.

Eventually, he entered Danxia Xuan to rest.

Speaking of which, this palace is called Danxiaxuan, but it is actually not small.

The reason why I chose this place is that on the one hand, it is close to the front court, and on the other hand, there are no concubines living here.

The reason why the emperor chose this place was because of tranquility.

And most of the concubines in the palace room in the harem have already slept.

In the past few years, the emperor has been very busy, and he doesn't spend much time with his concubines at all, so they stop one by one.

Men don't come back much, what kind of favor do they fight for?

The emperor is involved in the harem, and he mostly goes to see the concubines with children.

Therefore, there is still some hope for the concubines who have children.

And the concubines who have not given birth to children are already desperate, speaking of which, no children have been born in the palace for several years.

No one dared to complain about all this.

Because those who complain are dead.

Under the calm surface of the harem, there are many undercurrents that have devoured many lives.

When most of the people were asleep, Empress Zhang had not yet fallen asleep.

"Mother, you've been kneeling for a long time, sleep!"

The female official helped Empress Zhang, a devout Buddhist, who was either busy copying scriptures or kneeling in front of the Buddha statue to recite scriptures every day.

Is this still a queen there?

It's just a layman.

". The lady served her to sleep.

The queen said, "It's not early, so you can rest too." ”

After watching her henchwoman go to rest, the queen did not fall asleep immediately, because she couldn't sleep.

Just today, her son came to see her, and both mother and son are now people who don't take the lead.

Because the son was not liked by his father, he was not very favored by the ministers.

And after the queen sobered up, she knew that the more she liked to make trouble, the more the emperor would be tired of herself.

Men are like this, when they love, everything is good.

When you don't love, everything you do is wrong.

In addition, Empress Zhang can feel one thing, that is, the emperor hated herself very much at a certain time,

This made Empress Zhang think that she was going to stay in the cold palace.

Later, the emperor did not do this, and in his opinion, there was some connection between the two empresses.

If Empress Zhang is abolished and thrown into the cold palace, then how many people are there in this palace, remember the woman who was abolished?

That is, there will be fewer and fewer traces of her.

The emperor was not willing.

Of course, he also disappeared from Empress Zhang's palace.

Empress Zhang, who didn't know anything, escaped.

She was puzzled by this, she really didn't know what she had done wrong, and it made the emperor unhappy.

It is said that she has rarely gone out over the years, and she shouldn't be.

Later, she thought of the daughter of the Liao family, wasn't she also inexplicably annoyed by the emperor?

It wasn't until she became the so-called queen herself that she knew that woman's helplessness and powerlessness.

If she did it again, she was reluctant to marry this careful-eyed man.

But it's too late to say anything.

Empress Zhang is not that kind of stupid person.

In the early years, the reason why he fought against the daughter of the Liao family was mainly to hold the emperor's golden thighs.

Now, having seen through the emperor, he naturally puts his energy on his children.

Speaking of which, Empress Zhang is strictly educated at home, and she is still very smart.

In addition, after jumping out of the cage of the emperor's favorite, the whole person's thinking naturally changed.

She has a kind of worry, she is afraid that if she dies one day, then her children will become people who can do nothing and do nothing.

She doesn't need to compete for favor now, so she spends her time with her children.

Speaking of which, the palace power or anything is not in her hands.

But fortunately, her mother's family did not give up on her completely, after all, her son is also a prince and a possible future emperor.

Empress Zhang didn't think that the Zhang family hadn't abandoned her entirely, it was a conscience attack.

She understood very well what was going on, the beauty that the Zhang family sent in later was not very favored, and she didn't even give birth to a son and a half daughter.

Without children, there is naturally no future.

Becoming a concubine in the future and becoming the queen mother are definitely two grades.

So, the Zhang girl still wanted to snatch the children over.

This infuriated Empress Zhang.

She is still the queen now, and a little Jieyu still wants to snatch her children?

That's looking for death!

She killed the cousin without mercy.

Of course, how did that person die?

No one knew what was going on, but everyone saw that the woman was rejected by the emperor.

Others know that the queen also has a temper.

The harem gradually became silent, and smart people also knew that they might suffer losses against the queen, and the queen's children were not young, and they had already remembered people, so it was not worth robbing.

Then, you can go to the soft persimmon to pinch.

It's been a long time, and everyone has grabbed what they should have grabbed.

So the harem quieted down, and they each looked for something to do to pass the time.

The moment they entered the palace gate, it meant entering a golden cage.

Unless the emperor took him on patrol, it was basically impossible to leave the palace.

Originally, when I was a little lady, I could also go out for spring, meet relatives and friends, call friends, and even look at lanterns.

No matter how old-fashioned the family is, no matter how they don't let them go out, they can go out and make incense.

You can look at the outside world.

It can be breathable.

But after entering the palace, they rarely have the opportunity to leave the palace.

If you want to leave, you can only do it when you die.

Even if they are not liked by the emperor, they can only end up in the empty room alone.

Leaving and remarrying, there is basically no door.

The kind of concubine who doesn't want to live anymore and commits suicide.

It can only bring disaster to the mother's family, and then the body may be thrown into a mass grave.

While enjoying the glory and wealth, they lost their freedom forever.

They are all caged birds, and when they look at the sky, they can only look at the piece above their heads.

Even if most of the women in the harem live a widowhood early, they are powerless to say anything.

Here, the emperor is their heaven and earth.

Then, leaving here, there is another possibility, that is, the emperor dies.

Those concubines were promoted to concubines, and they could be taken out of the palace by their adult children to live.

The concubines who had seen everything clearly for a long time accepted their fate one by one.

The thought in my heart came up again and again, and then pressed.

Zhang Hou understood their thoughts very well, but he had no idea of sueping.

Over the years, she faintly noticed that the emperor now regretted that he had done too much to the Liao family girl in his early years.

So, the emperor sprinkled the anger in his heart on his mother and son.

Scold!

It's funny, but he didn't look down on the Liao family girl a lot, but now he blames himself for this.

However, she was powerless to say anything.

Because she said that it was not good to say anything, and even now she knew that the more she explained, the more dissatisfied the emperor became.

The queen is now focusing only on her son.

Because the biological mother is Empress Zhang, this child has already suffered a lot of cold reception and scolding from the emperor.

For this, he was furious.

But the education he received made him know that once he was charged with the big crime of unfilial piety, then for a person, it would be a catastrophe.

And his mother is not favored either, if something happens to him.

Then the mother's life is even more sad, and the child endures it.

It's just that this life of forbearance is not easy, and it is a knife stuck in the heart.

Women don't know much about the competition between men.

But Empress Zhang could see that when her son grew up, he changed from the original lively and cute to silent.

Looking at him, Empress Zhang's heart ached.

It was unfortunate that the one in his early years had no children.

But sometimes it seems that I am very lucky, and I will not be too sad if I don't have children frustrated.

Would she have known that if the child did not get the care of his father, he would live a very hard life, so she would not care too much about whether she had a child or not?

Looking at her son, Empress Zhang felt a little astringent.

The child was very thin.

At this moment, she hates the emperor a little, why does she suppress her children in everything?

What did she do wrong?

The biggest mistake was obviously done by the emperor.

Thinking of this, Empress Zhang grinded her teeth.

But Empress Zhang soon came to his senses, the emperor would not be wrong, so the person who was wrong could only be someone else, that is, her.

Smiled a little bitterly.

Empress Zhang suppressed the resentment in her heart, because this kind of thinking would not help.

But the change in her face was seen by Prince Yu.

So he smiled and said, "Mother, are you okay during this time?"

As he spoke, when he saw his mother, he felt that her hair was white and dazzling.

"Fortunately, in fact, my cultivation is not enough, if it were her, maybe it would be different. Empress Zhang said.

"What did the Queen Mother say?" asked Prince Yu.

"Your father's first empress, in my early years, I hated her and hated her for being empress. Empress Zhang said.

Her voice was a little erratic, and her eyes were a little melancholy.

Looking back now, she was stupid.

But she also knew that she was ambitious at that time, and she thought that she was no worse than others, but when she married into the palace, there was a difference.

Naturally, they will not accept their fate and want to climb up.

"But now I know how difficult it is to sit on the throne of the queen, but it is too late. ”

Prince Yu looked at the queen mother, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.
