In the palace, in the imperial study, Chengzong frowned, read the words on the fold word by word, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the pen and wrote down a red quasi-character, then closed the fold and put it aside, and picked up another book to continue to comment.

Now that the court is worried about internal and external troubles, there are many things, and Chengzong wants to be a good emperor, so he bows to everything, often stays up late at night, his face is slightly yellow, and there are a little more gray hairs on his head, which looks a lot haggard.

Lu Yifa stood behind Chengzong, this old eunuch is well maintained, although he is more than half a hundred years old, he also looks energetic, from time to time he studies ink for Chengzong, and then casually says a few words, unconsciously, the sky is getting dark.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat. Lu Yifa glanced up at the outside of the house and said.

"Yes, I see. Cheng Zong didn't look up, but just answered, his attention still on the song.

Lu Yifa didn't continue to ask, and knew that the emperor decided to eat here today, so he went out and ordered the imperial dining room to bring the food, just when he just went out, he saw a little eunuch hurriedly running over, leaning into his ear and whispering a few words, Lu Yifa's eyes widened, and asked, "Where are people?"

"Wait!" replied the little eunuch.

"Got it, go and tell the imperial dining room to prepare a meal for two people. Lu Yifa said this, then turned around and entered the hall, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Zong frowned slightly.

"Lord Zhao asks to see you. Lu Yifa replied.

"Lord Zhao?" The pen in his hand paused, Cheng Zong hurriedly raised his head, with a look of joy on his face, and said, "What about people?

"Yes!" Lu Yifa rarely saw Chengzong smile, and as soon as he turned around and went out, a man in a black coat followed him and walked into the hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live!" the man shouted as he lifted the brim of his hat.

Chengzong hurriedly stood up from the dragon chair, walked down to help the person up, and said, "Zhao Aiqing, hurry up and excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This person is Zhao Tiezhu, who proposed the latent plan that day, and I saw that after these three months, he is no longer as bookish as before, not only his skin is dark and rough, but he also has two beards, and he looks much more shrewd and capable.

"Aiqing! I'm very tired from the dust and dust all the way!How is the situation over there?" Chengzong asked impatiently.

"Thanks to the emperor's blessings, all the plans are going smoothly, and the minister will come back today to report on his work. Zhao Tiehammer said.

"Okay!" Cheng Zong smiled, laughed twice, and then said to Lu Yifa on the side: "Old Lu, tell the imperial dining room to prepare food, I want to treat Zhao Aiqing well!"

Lu Yifa smiled slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, I have already ordered to go down, and dinner will be delivered immediately." ”

That night, Chengzong and Zhao Tiehammer talked in the imperial study, and Zhao Tiehammer reported the situation in the demon territory one by one, and said that a communication system could be established next month, and then the information in the demon territory could be transmitted through this channel.

"Okay, it's really good!" This news really made Chengzong feel energetic, in the past few months, there has been very little news on the border, the demon race disturbs the realm, and according to Zhao Tiehammer, the female demon king now attaches great importance to the rebellion of the human race in the territory, so it seems that their original plan was successful.

"There is another thing in my subordinates, I don't know whether to say it or not. Zhao Tiezhu couldn't help but look sad when he saw Chengzong so happy.

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Chengzong took him a glass of wine and said with a smile.

Zhao Tiezhu took the wine glass with both hands, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's about Li Xiangu." ”

"Oh? Chengzong asked.

"There may be some trouble. Zhao Tiehammer raised his wine glass and drank it all and sighed.

That night,
