At the beginning of the year, everyone was not feeling well.

Xue Baochai thought about her future, and she had Wei Qianen's permission to go out of the palace to take a look. Baoyu and Daiyu Qin Se and Ming, Lang is a concubine, and she doesn't want to be a person who intervenes. I don't have the courage to resist the pressure of the supreme kingship.

But out of the palace to get married?

Xue Baochai doesn't have that idea yet, compared with Baoyu, who respects women, even if he is rich? The Xue family is not short of money, what she wants is nothing more than a motivated lover.

Situ Yun tossed and turned, and his brows became deeper and deeper when he received the situation in Jiangnan every day. The situation in Jiangnan was very bad, and the Tongyuan Sect took Jinling as its capital and slowly established the foundation to establish the Jiangnan Sect. There was even a large group of capable people in the country, and it was these capable people who called for wind and rain to stop them, so that the imperial army suffered repeated losses.

In addition, the Hu people in the north continued to make trouble, even if the Li Fan Yuan tried to delay time, but as the first month passed, this side joined forces with Jiangnan to make the imperial court tired of coping.

The better thing is that the seaside Dongying Japanese Kou has been cleared, and the country of Qianxiang has no plans to use troops at present.

But Situ Yun couldn't stand this kind of suffocation, and the various drawbacks accumulated by the imperial court for a hundred years broke out one by one, the family interfered, and corruption broke out, and even the Enke he prepared almost had problems.

This time Enko is very important, but even if it is such a big event, there are people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

After Wei Qian asked about the results of the two students of the Plum Blossom Club and Jia Baoyu, she didn't care.

All three of them got the name of Jinshi and ranked second.

Seeing this, Wei Qian found someone to arrange for the two of his subordinates to enter the Hanlin Academy, while Jia Baoyu began to prepare for the marriage with Lin Daiyu.

Outside, although Situ Yun has arrested a lot of corrupt people, it is still difficult to calm people's hearts, and he urgently needs a big victory to divert his attention.

In March, Wei Qian and Yuan Chun prepared for this year's draft and other matters.

Wei Qian lay on the table, liquidating what she needed to do in March. Needless to say, the old rules of the first silkworm sacrifice, as well as the Taimiao ancestor worship in April and the later soil worship.

Her schedule was full, and she had to ask Yuan Chun and Concubine Wen to help. Of course, because of last year's incident, she and Yuan Chun were inseparable, and it was just a friendship on business. I don't take a step further in Fengzao Palace, and I say hello to Ningshou Palace every day.

Situ Yun sat next to Wei Qian and saw her review the things used to worship ancestors this year: "I am going to drive the expedition in person?" ”

"Huh?" Wei Qian didn't care, continued to count the jade coins and ritual utensils, calculated them one by one, and locked them in the box herself. "What did you say?"

"I want to conquer Jiangnan in person!" Situ Yun raised his voice.

Wei Qian was startled, and suddenly turned around: "Your Majesty!" ”

"The Son of Heaven can't set off lightly, doesn't His Majesty know this?" Wei Qianhua lost her face and hurriedly dissuaded: "This thought must not be moved." ”

"I've made up my mind, and I'm going to leave in April. Arrangements will be made these days, and as for the harem, it will be left to you and the queen mother. After hesitating, Situ Yun said again: "The prince is young, if there is something unbearable, you will take care of it." ”

"Where did you get this idea?" Wei Qian hurriedly sat down and prepared to dissuade him, but Situ Yun didn't want to say more, and turned to leave: "You are busy." ”

Busy? What's going on here? Wei Qian hurried to Ningshou Palace, and the Queen Mother had obviously just received the news that the six gods had no owner.

"Concubine Ning, you came just in time, tell me about the previous dynasty, it's really bad outside?"

"It shouldn't have reached this point, there is a danger of isolation between the north and the south, why does Your Majesty mean this?" Wei Qian was puzzled: "The concubine has been in the body for a long time, but she can't ask about the previous dynasty, can the mother know who is the one who picked it up?" ”

"It's not those Jiangnan officials, one by one, who want the emperor to drive and stabilize the hearts of the people."

Wei Qian frowned, and when she mentioned the officials from Jiangnan, she understood a little.

There is a very embarrassing situation in the imperial court, that is, many pillars of talent were born in Jiangnan. With the occupation of Jiangnan by the Tongyuan Sect, these family members were restrained, even if a few people fled, but the entire family business was lost, can they not be in a hurry?

Jiangnan has always been the origin of the family, and these families exert pressure, even Situ Yun needs to show his attitude. Although Wei Qian's appeasement could be calmed down for a while, it began to toss again after the year. In addition, Situ Yun got some additional information, so he had this idea.

Wei Qian saw that he mentioned the Jiangnan officials, and somewhat understood Situ Yun's thoughts. So he comforted the Queen Mother with kind words and returned to the palace by herself.

At night, she casts astrological astrology and observes celestial phenomena.

I saw the starry sky. This Gou Chen Xing is Situ Yun's natal star, and he should come out of the army.

"Gou Chen Mingguang, approaching Nandou." Wei Qian watched the sky and frowned: "This battle is unstoppable. ”

Then, Qianqianyu's fingers fluctuated, and the winner was calculated. But Wei Qian's calculations about the battle situation in Jiangnan ended in vain several times, and he couldn't see the star sign of Situ Yun's victory.

"I still can't get home from my practice." After thinking about it, Wei Qian invited Ling Lan in the name of "asking" on the second day. After Lingyun's death, Ling Lan led the people of the Lishan faction to concentrate on cultivation, preparing to avenge her senior sister.

Hearing Wei Qian's invitation, Ling Lan entered the palace with the people and went to the Sanqing Palace.

Wei Qian first asked a few difficult questions about the cultivation path, and then retreated left and right, asking Situ Yunnan about the evil luck.

Listening to Wei Qian's question, Ling Lan said: "According to my calculations, His Majesty needs three personal expeditions to break the Tongyuan Sect. This battle is not a battle with the Tongyuan Sect, but a battle for the future qi of China. If he wins three battles, Situ Jiangshan can last for another two hundred years. If it collapses after three wars, it will be a situation of division between the north and the south, and there will be at least a hundred years of chaos. ”

"This omen has come out, although it is a killing situation in the world. However, the changes in the stars involve the heavens, and the world is in chaos. Not long ago, there was a demonic beast Zhu Yan, showing a sign of chaos in the world.

The major caves of Xuanmen have already made a move, and the Tongyuan Sect has contacted the evil ways of the side gates of the three mountains and five mountains, preparing to compete for the dragon vein with the situation of the north and the south, and set the catastrophe of the Xuanmen killing. ”

It's not just a humane battle, but there is also a big fight in the fairy road.

"Thousands of years of killing and robbery cooperated with the battle of human dynasties, this time it was completely chaotic."

When Wei Qian heard this, her expression was stern. Her heart was shaken during this time, and her cultivation was half the effort, so should she do this?

"During the Great Tribulation, evil qi blinds the mind and is difficult to cultivate, so you must be careful in the palace."

"Moreover, this matter involves a lot, several earth immortals have already said that if they stay in the cave sky, they can still avoid robbery, and if they set foot in the red dust to participate in this battle to seize the dragon, if he is defeated in the future, there will be a backlash."

"So miserable?"

Ling Lan nodded: "Four of the Nine Great Cave Heavens today have completely recalled the Sect Celestials, and the closed Cave Heavens will not be born again." The remaining five caves are determined to enter the world to eliminate demons. However, the earth immortal masters are not allowed to participate in the war, at least in the first two royal expeditions. ”

Three royal expeditions. Wei Qian thought more: "Situ Yun knows about this? ”

"There are a lot of high-ranking people around him, I'm afraid there have been hints. Otherwise, this Son of Heaven would not have the idea of driving in person. ”

Only the three expeditions of the Son of Heaven can pacify the south of the Yangtze River and stabilize the dragon vein.

"But it is difficult for the treasury to support the three pro-levies." Wei Qian's face was ugly, she thought of Situ Yun summoning the Ministry of Rites and others in recent days, and vaguely understood Situ Yun's plan.

Frontier exploration is what every emperor loves. But if the inside is uneven, how to be safe outside?

"He's ready to marry Hu Ren in the north!" In an instant, Wei Qian thought of her old partner's thoughts.

The ten-year Zhennan War consumed many years of savings from the imperial court, and there was no way to maintain a two-sided battle, so the only appeasement strategy could be used for the frontier.

Ling Lan saw that Wei Qian's face was cloudy, and continued: "These three battle methods, our Lishan faction will also participate. Now that I am practicing the Fa with my disciples in the mountains, I want to teach Tongyuan Sect a lesson and avenge my senior sister! ”

Ling Lan and Lingyun are sisters who grew up together, even if they used to have discord, they have long been reconciled now in the same vein. Originally, Lan Yao imagined that the two of them would realize the Tao together in the future and participate in the enlightenment of the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit. Now she is the only one left, and she sprinkles all her hatred on Tongyuanjiao.

"If this is the case, the nephew will also go to take revenge." Wei Qianfeng's eyes were cold, and she thought about the enmity of her teacher: "If Your Majesty is in person, the dragon qi will move at that time, and I can walk out of the palace with the yin god." Borrow the incarnation of the New World when necessary. ”

"No." Ling Lan said: "The geographical location of the New World is important, if we are defeated in the future, we can also use the New World to transfer the Dao system. Moreover, the New World is the foundation of your enlightenment, and there is no room for error. ”

Wei Qian was silent, only to hear Ling Lan smile and say: "Don't worry, although my Lishan faction is not as strong as those cave heavens, your senior uncle and I are also on the edge of breaking through." If you light up the purple microstar by breaking through from the dragon's merit and virtue, the future of the earth immortal is promising. It will definitely kill the old thief of Tongyuan Sect Wei! ”

The two of them summed it up again, and Ling Lan left the palace.

Three days later, Wei Qian went to Ningshou Palace to ask for peace. Suddenly, she saw Princess Yihe rushing to Ningshou Palace one step ahead of her.

So, Wei Qian stood outside the palace and listened.

Princess Yihe knelt in front of the Queen Mother: "My daughter knows her destiny and is willing to settle the world with her relatives." But the daughter had a worry and wanted to ask the Queen Mother to finish. ”

"But what about your mother, Concubine Liu?"

"The mother concubine is taken care of by the Queen Mother and Sister Wei, and the daughter is not worried." Princess Yihe said: "My daughter is worried that it will be difficult for her weak Qianqian to reach the Northern Hu barbarian expedition, so she wants to bring a few people with her. ”

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother asked, "Then who do you want to bring?" ”

"I heard that the granddaughter of the Mei scholar's family has a good reputation and can help her daughter." Princess Yihe's eyes sparkled, of course she knew who of the ministers of the previous dynasty advocated the most peace. Since the Mei family dares to pit themselves like this, then he will bring the Mei family over and slowly concoct it!

"Yes." Empress Dowager Chen also didn't like the Mei family, so she promised to help Princess Yihe vent her anger: "Since you are willing, then let the princess of Yifu take her as her goddaughter, and turn back to follow you in the name of the county lord." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Princess Yihe had red eyes, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel pity when she saw it. After all, she is the only eldest princess in the palace, and she is the only one who has the qualifications to be friendly.

"The mourning family also told the emperor to see if they could send the prince's daughter and relatives. But now at this time, the prince of Nafu can't believe it. Several princes with foreign surnames also refused to use their own daughters. When the time comes, take a few righteous women to fool people, and those barbarians will not accept it, but will make waves again. ”

"It's all bitter for you."

"Eat the people of the world and worship them, and protect the peace of the people of the world, as a princess should be like this." Seeing that there was no room for change in the matter, Princess Yihe also accepted her fate a little, and said calmly: "Since she has enjoyed more than ten years of royal dignity, her daughter has the obligation to dedicate herself to the world." ”

Wei Qian stood quietly at the gate of the palace and did not make a sound. She has a keen sense of hearing, and she has heard everything she says and does.

Emotionally, she didn't want anyone to be friendly, but from the current situation, she understood that if Situ Yun wanted to take the royal conquest, then the north must be appeased. And in the course of a decade-long war, sincerity must be shown if the north is to be truly pacified. A goddaughter is not enough.

Only the Son of Heaven's own sister, the eldest princess of today, can bring ten years of peace.

The Hu people stopped, and the Qianxiang country automatically converged, and the southern expedition could be carried out with peace of mind.

Wei Qian silently withdrew from Ningshou Palace and went to Longshouyuan alone.

On a high platform, Wei Qian saw Situ Yun standing with his hands in his hands.

Situ Yun's expression was a little lonely, and he felt that Wei Qian was coming, and lowered his head: "You also come here to watch the scenery?" "From the dragon's head, you can overlook the entire Chang'an City, which is a good place to relax.

Wei Qian walked up to the high platform, and the two looked at the prosperous Chang'an City. This is the capital of the world and the place of the emperor. But what about places other than Chang'an?

Thinking of the war in the south of the Yangtze River and the instability of the northern frontier, Wei Qian couldn't help but lament.

"Concubine Ning, what did you say was the mood of Emperor Wu and his relatives back then?"

"......" Thinking of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wang Zhaojun among the four beauties, Wei Qian was speechless.

In the end, Wei Qian comforted: "If you can't endure it for a while, you will have great achievements in the end." His Majesty has always longed for the eternal achievements and left his name in the history books. Now that he has laid martial arts in the southern expedition, he should enjoy the name of Emperor Wu in the future. ”

"Emperor Wu?" Situ Yun laughed at himself: "I am worse than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty now." Anyway, he kept his own sister, and I want to send my own sister to kiss. I don't know how to record it in the history books after a thousand years? ”

"The Jiangnan Rebellion, I'm afraid there wasn't it when Emperor Wu was there, right?"

"The territory of the two dynasties is different, the national conditions are different, and they cannot be the same." Wei Qian immediately smiled: "Otherwise, how should the Wei family deal with the concubine?" ”
