Chapter Forty-Seven: The Harem Is Still Empty
**What about tickets, it's almost Christmas these days, and I'm busy**
For dinner this day, Li Wei asked people to continue to Chonghua Palace, while Gonggong Xie was busy sending a stack of books to Duo Neng to take care of.
Duo Neng took some effort to hold the book, and asked a little breathlessly, "Your Majesty, do you have to send these to His Highness the Seventeenth?" "Although Duo Neng is not very literate, he also knows that these are drawn out of His Majesty's study, and they are all books read by the emperor, how can they be sent to His Highness Seventeen to read?
"That's right, it's all sent to the emperor." Li Wei looked at Duo Neng's puzzled look and asked, "What, have questions?" β
Duo Neng shook his head immediately, "Your Majesty's decision-making slave has any questions. It's just that such an important book can only be read by you, why, why should it be shown to His Highness the Seventeenth? "Does he have to remind His Majesty a little, he can't be so unsuspecting, especially to His Highness the Seventeenth.
Li Wei looked at him and joked, "If the imperial brother understands me, I'll show him, or I'll show you?" β
Duo Neng almost knelt down, feeling that the book in his hand weighed a thousand pounds, "The slave is panicking, don't make a joke about the minion." β
"I'll just tell me, look at your appearance." Li Wei smiled, and then walked out of the Chongming Palace, and the moment she stepped out of the threshold, she didn't forget to turn around and tell him, "It's good that you know about this, don't spread it everywhere." β
"Yes, Duo Neng is not a talkative person." Duo can immediately assure, holding the book and standing upright, seeing His Majesty smile and walking, then he followed cautiously, but his heart was sweating, and His Majesty's mind became more and more difficult to guess.
Li Wei first asked Cheng Dandan if he liked the military, whether Mulan was strong in joining the army, and showed that the position of Zhongshu Sheren may be a little boring, and it is possible to get up early in the dark when he is idle, and the real power is not as high as the position of the palace secretary, Cheng Dandan may be unwilling.
Beichen Luo saw that his imperial sister said this, and he must have intended to let Cheng Dandan take the role, so he recommended himself to find out what his cousin meant, and asked Li Wei to wait for his reply. He left the palace immediately, and returned to the palace in the evening, with Cheng Dandan's autographed letter, Li Wei saw that he even brought this evidence of loyalty, and was obviously very happy.
Li Wei then decreed that Cheng Diansi should also serve as a housekeeper.
When Cheng Dandan followed Li Wei, he took off a suit of armor, changed into a dark blue official uniform, wore black gauze hats on both wings, and left two bundles of long hair in front of his ears, Li Wei's eyes lit up, and blurted out-
"Dandan's dress is quite elegant and handsome."
"Your Majesty has won the prize. Dandan is a rough man. Cheng Dandan's eyebrows lit up, and when she saw the emperor's sincere smile, her heart relaxed a lot, and then followed Gonggong Xie to understand the work content of her new position, and officially followed Li Wei's side. In addition to heavy confidentiality, Li Wei did not deliberately hide it from her in political affairs, as long as she watched it carefully, she could see all the twists and turns. Of course, Li Wei's handwriting still can't be seen by others, including Cheng Dandan.
In addition, Li Wei also did a particularly damaging thing.
"Miss Cheng, General Dandan, you are twenty years old, have you ever been married?"
The upright Cheng Dandan blushed in front of the emperor for the first time, "The minister has never been married." β
"Do you have a man you like?" Li Wei continued to ask.
I saw General Cheng a touch of shyness, his clear eyes were half-hidden, and he nodded lightly.
Li Wei was a little disappointed, sure enough, this famous flower is a very assertive person, and she found a reliable tree so quickly. Otherwise, this woman's martial arts are outstanding, and ordinary guards can't defeat her, so let her seduce the many guards surnamed Cui, and it will be lively.
In order to leave some space for her subordinates, Li Wei didn't ask who her intended person was, but she secretly observed it for a long time on weekdays, and she didn't find out who this girl liked, and there was not even a hint of it.
Li Wei couldn't help but sigh, it's very good to hide, girl.
With Cheng Dandan by her side, Li Wei had more time to sort out the twists and turns, according to the schedule of His Majesty Tuxuan, the rest of the time should have been to walk around the harem, however, Gonggong Xie always reminded her-
"Your Majesty, your harem is still empty."
At this time, Li Wei was very much like praying to the sky-
"Please give me a harem full of beautiful menβ"
However, the above is purely imaginary, Li Wei can do things like beautiful men, and she thinks she will go crazy if she practices it. Now that there is no one's harem, there is no one, and there are no stubborn old ladies such as the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and her life is actually very simple and beautiful.
At the same time, Cui Yue found that Li Wei had become more and more in love with him recently.
Let him go to the Pinxiang Inn today to send copper coins, and tomorrow he will go to the Scarlet Fragrance Building to get a letter, if he refuses on the grounds that "the personal guards should be close to His Majesty's side to protect His Majesty within two zhang", His Majesty will pat Cheng Diansi beside him:
"With Cheng Diansi by my side, what are you afraid of?"
Cheng Diansi's martial arts are better than Cui Yue, the two have had a comparison, Cheng Diansi's skills are superior, and he defeated Cui Yue, which makes Li Wei feel quite right, and if he has nothing to do, he will use this to block Cui Yue's mouth and cure him for being too arrogant.
Cui Yue gritted his teeth and hung his head, he was defeated by a woman in his proudest martial arts, and it was quite embarrassing to say it, but his man's husband couldn't help but admit it, and he was even more embarrassed and unwilling to find Cheng Dandan to continue to learn, looking at His Majesty's sinister fox smile, Cui Yue knew that His Majesty was taking the opportunity to take revenge, didn't he just play tricks on His Majesty so once? Majesty is so careful to hold a grudge until now? Now he doesn't talk about running errands every day, and he is teased by her every day, what does he say, why don't girls like you? Is it because there are men all around? Do you need me to be your matchmaker?
Cui Yue thought that it was impossible to escape His Majesty's dispatch now, and in order to avoid her from introducing beautiful women to him, he had to cheer up and took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty is going to Pinxiang Inn to send copper coins today?" Subordinates go now! How many copper coins should I prepare? Subordinates can help. β
Li Wei squinted and smiled, "Cui Yue is very active today, but unfortunately I don't seem to want to leave the palace." β
Cui Yue asked again, "Maybe there are still letters in the Scarlet Fragrance Building that need to be sent by subordinates, what does Your Majesty think?" β
Li Wei laughed out loud, and when she saw Cui Yue's obviously deflated look, she said, "Go, by the way, help me buy a winter stewed chicken and come back." β
Cui Yue received the order, but he sighed in his heart, look, he can not only be reduced to an errand and messenger, but also buy it part-time.
Li Wei sorted out all the letters sent by Qi Mingfei in the past few days, and there was actually not much content, especially about the Jianghu Emperor Organization, and he couldn't even find the news of a stronghold, let alone the headquarters?
Temporarily putting aside the Emperor of the Underworld, Li Wei focused her attention on the neighboring country of Yinghu in the north.
Yinghu Country has always been a fierce rival of Beichen Kingdom.
Yinghu originally belonged to the nomadic people, the people were strong, good at riding and shooting, good at brute force robbery, and later also built houses outside the Saiwai to settle down, but because of the competition for powerful water and grass and grain production land, often invaded the territory of Beichen through the northern Xinjiang, and this has been the case for hundreds of years.
To sign a contract with such a super-aggressive nation for 20 years?
Li Wei can only hehe. She rubbed her eyebrows, and saw Cheng Dandan reviewing Wen JiΓ n at the desk, her low eyebrows looked very quiet, and she wanted to see how she looked on the battlefield, this woman turned out to be a general, and her martial arts were better than Cui Yue, how high did she have talent? Or how much effort did she make?
"Dandan?" Li Wei called softly.
"What do you command?"
"You have compiled a copy of all the information about the Yinghu Country, including your own knowledge of them. What are their weaknesses, what are the biggest difficulties to overcome, whether they have alliances or other neighboring countries to cheer them on, what is the relationship between neighboring countries and them, etc. Give you a week, may? β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Cheng Dandan left, Li Wei was alone in the imperial study, picked out the wick, and pulled out a top-secret letter sent by Qi Mingfei from the cuff of her underwear. This letter Qi Mingfei was treated with beeswax, and the seal was never opened, so Cui Yue was honest.
I opened the letter and placed it next to the wick, and the contents of the letter were somewhat unexpected.
A few days ago, Li Wei wanted Qi Mingfei to find out who was the one who did it when the emperor was assassinated. The evidence found by Qi Mingfei pointed to the Cheng family, which made Li Wei a little unbelievable, and asked him to continue the thorough investigation.
It was mentioned in today's letter that the Cheng family had a manpower transfer at that time, but it is also possible that they secretly sent someone to protect the emperor's daughter, because the manpower sent was all back intact. On the contrary, a few days before the emperor's accident, the Qi family and the emperor had met, and Qi Jincheng of the Qi family met with the emperor once outside the palace, according to Qi Mingfei's observation at the time, the emperor's face was not good after returning to the palace, and he also issued an edict to transfer Qi Jincheng, promoting him to Bu Shuai, and at the same time asked Qi Mingfei to go to Qi's house immediately to read it.
However, when Qi Mingfei and Gonggong Xie went to Qi's house to read the holy decree together, they found that Qi Jincheng's face was still not very good, so Qi Mingfei boldly guessed that the content of what Qi Jincheng and the emperor Beichen Ai talked about was not completely satisfied.
Whether the Qi family hired a killer or raised a killer themselves still needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Li Wei put away the envelope, so that the Cheng family and the Qi family were suspicious.
And Qi Mingfei also mentioned another point, the regent must have noticed the movements of the Qi family and the Cheng family at that time, and he probably knew that someone was going to assassinate the emperor, but the regent's guards did not move.
In other words, did the regent sense that the imperial daughter was in danger, but chose to turn a blind eye?
Seeing this, Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little cold all over, and after coming back to her senses, she threw the letter into the brazier and lit it, turning it into ashes.
