After walking for about half an hour after leaving the secret passage, climb up a low hillside, there is a house carved out of the mountain stone above, when Li Wei and Beichen Luo arrived with a group of people, the door was opened by a timid woman, and she was a mute, Li Wei told her to answer the secret language, the woman nodded, lit an oil lamp, and entered the basement.

Li Wei was stopped by the guards and couldn't enter, but Beichen Luo had to follow in, Li Wei asked the guards to go in first to investigate, and the two went in again after there was no danger.

Half an hour later, the two siblings saw Qing Guifei lying on the stone bed. She was well cared for, her body was still well-proportioned and healthy, except for the pale face with a light that she had not seen for many years, she did not see any other sickness, but she had been lying down, like a sleeping beauty. The woman was babbling something on the side, and Li Wei asked her to take her and leave for the palace immediately.

Master Yan Kong had already prepared medicine with the fire snake flower and immediately fed it to Concubine Qing, but unfortunately, after half a day, she still couldn't wake up. Seeing this, Beichen couldn't help but be gloomy.

Cheng Dandan had already entered the palace when he learned about this, and when he saw this situation, his mood was also a lot lower. Although there is a big age difference between her and Concubine Cheng Chuqing, they have played together since childhood, and their friendship is quite deep, and after she killed herself, she also took care of Beichen Luo as her closest person, and she never thought that she would be able to meet.

Master Yan Kong said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the noble concubine has been lying down for too long, and she needs time to recover." The potency of the fire snake flower also needs to be slow to take effect. ”

Beichen Luo wiped away his tears, "What this palace knows, it is a great blessing to be able to see my mother again, but unfortunately my mother has not seen me yet, I don't know that I have grown up, so I don't need her to worry anymore." ”

Li Wei continued to leave the mute woman in the palace and took care of the living and eating of the concubine. I heard Beichen Luo talk about an old thing, saying that Cheng Dandan and his mother were good sisters back then, and they said that they liked a man together, but they gave up the man because of sisterhood.

Now that I think about it, that man turned out to be Wei Liqing.

But Wei Liqing must not be able to live, if Qing Guifei wakes up, how should she face the reality of this great change?

And now there is still a question, Concubine Qing was originally a martyr, how could she stay in the palace safely? This matter is inconsistent with the ancestral system. But you can't let Qing Guifei disappear suddenly, this news is already known to the courtiers, and they are waiting for her to deal with it.

Master Qingyi got the will to enter the palace, and vaguely knew what Li Wei was going to ask him.

In the Chongming Palace, the two sat upright, silent for a long time. Qingyi sighed slightly, between him and His Majesty, there was a time when he couldn't open his mouth when he had something to say.

"Your Majesty, what exactly brought me into the palace?"

Li Wei's tone was a little resentful, "Master Qingyi has a lot of things to hide from me, if I don't look for you, will you still come to me?" ”

Qingyi lowered his head and touched his nose, "I can't say that, when the time comes, I will enter the palace and inform Your Majesty." However, now that His Majesty has already understood, it is not okay for Qingyi not to say it. ”

"Then hurry up, Guan Qianyi's situation, sue me right now." Li Wei sat up straight and stared at him.

"Ahem, your majesty should be relieved of this matter, the regent is now in good health, and the poison has been resolved."

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little puzzled, "Master, you have to explain it more clearly." ”

"I can't say anything about this matter."

Li Wei glared angrily, "Then I only need to know three questions: Where is Guan Qianyi now?" When will you come back to see me? Will there be a change in status? ”

These three questions are really sharp, Master Qingyi looked at her helplessly, "He is now in the Sui Clan, and he will return to Beijing in three days, and his identity will not change for the time being." ”

Li Wei breathed a long sigh of relief again, but Master Qingyi's next sentence was-

"But if his attitude towards His Majesty changes, His Majesty must be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Li Wei immediately stood up.

"What do you mean? He has amnesia? Li Wei thought of this most bloody guess, saw Qingyi shook his head, and guessed again, "Is he going to Kuang Fu Justice and sacrifice his life?" Qingyi shook his head again, but the corners of his mouth were already curved, but he saw Li Wei gritting his teeth, physically and mentally exhausted, and said, "Could it be that he likes other women?" Or is he already married to another woman? ”

Master Qingyi suddenly laughed, "Your Majesty, these ridiculous things didn't happen. ”

"Then how could he possibly change his attitude towards me? What kind of dumb riddle are you playing with me? "Li Wei is going crazy.

"The Sui people helped him expel the rain poison from his body, but there were conditions. The regent is a person valued by the Sui people, and he promised the Sui people that he would definitely return to Xiyu to inherit the throne. ”

Li Wei smiled after hearing this, and sat on the chair with a soft body, "I thought it was a big deal, Master Qingyi, you really scared me." ”

"Isn't that a big deal? If he wants to go to Xiyi to inherit the throne, the two of you will not be able to come together at all. ”

"This matter is between me and him, and I will discuss it with him." Li Wei nodded, her mood was a little lighter, and she glanced at Qingyi again, her eyes full of displeasure, "I said that you Sui people are really a little sinister, knowing that the two of us are together, and you have made so many tricks, you have to make me a loner, don't you?" Or do you also believe in some nonsense such as 'Therefore the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they cannot do'? Think that those who achieve hegemony must undergo enough training? ”

Qingyi nodded carefully after listening, "What you said is right, it makes sense." However, the regent valued by the Sui people has suffered enough, and there is no need to add any more tribulations, but Your Majesty has suffered—"

Li Wei rolled her eyes, "Come on, I'm not the person you have chosen, so you don't have to hone your mind with a stumbling block." "There is still some negative anger and resentment in this statement, who let you not choose me, I will exercise myself.

"His Majesty is also an imperial star valued by our Sui people, how can you say whether you are selected or not? Your Majesty must know that we Sui people do not necessarily value only one king, or one person. ”

Li Wei's eyes lit up, "Then I am also the person you value?" ”

"Then it depends on how His Majesty does it."

"What's how?"

"His Majesty is still too young, and his qualifications are insufficient, and it is not enough for us Sui people to make conclusions."

Li Wei nodded, and said quite seriously, "In this way, the people you Sui clan favored in the past were not all like people of your age?" ”

Qingyi frowned and touched his smooth forehead and face, "Benqing is only thirty-three this year, is he very old?" ”

Li Wei laughed again, and the imperial seal on her forehead shone brightly, "Hahaha, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything, the master turned out to be thirty-three years old, and I can't see it." ”

After learning the news of Guan Qianyi, Li Wei was much more relaxed. In the past few days, the court has been more obedient to see hundreds of officials, and Li Wei expressed great satisfaction with her majesty. She touched the mark on her forehead, and although she temporarily used the power of this flower, she was indeed moving forward in her efforts.

The case of the Qi family and the Cheng family's rebellion was solved, Qi Taishi and Cheng Guogong were veterans in the court, Li Wei just let people be imprisoned and waited, she found a time to visit, and recognized Cheng Guogong's sincere repentance, and temporarily put him in the temple to practice repentance, so as not to disturb a large number of followers under Cheng Guogong.

Qi Taishi's situation was even worse, and dozens of major figures from the Qi family were taken into custody, but he was not sentenced to death. Li Wei promoted Qi Jinyu, and temporarily stabilized the turmoil caused by the fall of the Qi family.

Mrs. Wei handed in his resignation, expressing his sins in the case of his son Wei Liqing. He originally thought that the first emperor hastily ordered the hunt for Wei Liqing because he hated his friendship with the Qing concubine since he was a child, but he didn't expect that this rebel really had such a big mind about the concubine Niangniang, and he didn't even repent.

"Why do you need to dismiss Taifu, I still need Taifu by my side." Li Wei wanted to keep it, "Master Taifu, I also know that Li Yuetian's incident has hit you hard, but after all, it is the path he has chosen, and Taifu Wei doesn't have to blame himself for him." ”

The old minister also knows this truth. But where can Weichen still be comfortable among the ministers. His Majesty agreed to the old minister, the old minister is also seventy years old this year, and it is time to recognize the old man. His majesty's prestige is now gradually rising, and the old minister is relieved and relieved. ”

Li Wei had no choice but to respond, and now that the three veterans of the court had left, she suddenly felt that the court was a little empty.

In the case of Qing Guifei, Li Wei asked Qingyi to think of a way to let her stay in the palace in the name of "the first dynasty reborn is like Xiangrui", and for this reason, she also gave Qing Guifei the title of "Xiangrui Lady", which made Beichen Lu grateful.

Li Wei flipped through the calendar book and stared carefully at the "Wax Moon" date on it, speaking of which, the succession ceremony of the prince of Xiyi Kingdom is about to begin, shouldn't she start preparing to leave the palace for a while?

When Lu Xiao entered the Chongming Palace, she was still sorting out the troubles of these days, and when she saw him come in, she beckoned him to sit down.

"Your Majesty, a letter of peace from the envoy of the Yinghu Kingdom who arrived a few days ago, Your Majesty is now empty, let's see what to do with it?" Lu Xiao brought her the sorted out recitals.

Li Wei straightened her head, stretched out her hand to take the fold, looked at it carefully, and said with some surprise, "Envoy of Yinghu Country? Could it be that Beizhan flew back with Qi Ming and caused civil strife, right? ”

Li Wei also remembered the three things that he had promised Guan Qianyi to do, one of which was to obtain a twenty-year peace with Yinghu State, this time they took the initiative to sue for peace, this is a rare opportunity, if they can assist Qi Mingfei's throne of Yinghu Kingdom, then this twenty-year peace agreement is not a matter of paper?

"I just don't know, is the person who is sending the peace letter now from Qi Mingfei's side, or someone else? I sent someone to check it out. ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen can go to Yinghu Country to find out."

Li Wei looked up with a surprised face, "Brother Lu Xiao, don't do this, why do you want to go to Yinghu Country when you are so decent?" ”

Lu Xiao lowered his head, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to have military merits." "If he can have as powerful military feats as Guan Qianyi, maybe he will have a greater chance of staying by her side. This time, the thrill and negligence at the main gate of Qingjitan were precisely due to the fact that his unorthodox people in the rivers and lakes had no power, otherwise they would not have let Cheng Diansi, who had returned with the troops, break into Qingjitan and save everyone.

Li Wei sighed, "Brother Lu Xiao, you are really direct. How can any courtier directly ask me for military merits, this matter doesn't seem to work. Brother Lu Xiao, you are a literary champion, no matter how powerful your martial arts are, if you want to send a general to Yinghu Country all of a sudden, it will cause criticism in the DPRK and China. ”

"No, Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't have to send an envoy to Yinghu Country in the name of other generals."

"How do you get there?"

"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty once talked to the minister about the Beichen Praetorian Guard, saying that if you can establish a special force and take it around, how much protection it will be for the royal family and the Beichen Kingdom."

Li Wei then remembered that she had indeed mentioned such a thing, at that time Lu Xiao was still waiting for the exam, she went out of the palace every day to reveal the news to him, and on a whim she talked about the ideal army she had equipped for Beichen Kingdom, and the name of the special forces came out.

"Wechen was waiting for the release of the list with many candidates after the exam, and he was summoned by the squire of the Ministry of War, he actually hoped that Wechen would enter the Ministry of War, but Wechen hoped to enter the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to thoroughly investigate the case of strangulation, so he gave up the opportunity. Fortunately, he learned from Tian Shilang that His Majesty was going to form an alternative army, and Weichen found out that His Majesty's identity was different. It's a pity that he found out too late at that time, and His Majesty's heart was no longer in him.

Li Wei touched her nose embarrassedly, "Let's not mention this matter, and blame me for not taking into account Brother Lu's mood at that time, fortunately, you don't blame me and stay in the court." ”

"Now, is this wish still there?"

Li Wei nodded, "Yes, naturally here." It's a pity that I can't spare the manpower to recruit some people with better skills for a while, and it is impossible for the secret guards around me to mobilize to deal with this important matter, and there must be a suitable leader and subordinates. ”

"Your Majesty, there are enough candidates for Weichen."

Li Wei hesitated, "Are you talking about your friend in the rivers and lakes?" But they are Jianghu people, and most of them are hostile to the imperial court, how can they-"

It can be seen that His Majesty is hesitant and worried, Lu Xiao said, "Your Majesty, the friends of the rivers and lakes of the year have long been disbanded, and the rest of these are all people who follow Weichen from birth to death, and they will not have the intention of rebelling against the court." ”

Li Wei still shook her head, "But they only obey your orders, it's not feasible, and neither the courtiers nor I can rest assured about this." Just like the Praetorian Guards who rebelled this time, if they obeyed the order and led one person, it was impossible to prevent rebellion. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this, Weichen hopes that this army can integrate Weichen's people, and can also integrate the people selected by His Majesty, and the two will be integrated and trained together, and they can't only recognize soldiers and people like the old department of Yusha, this is an army that belongs to the royal family and belongs to His Majesty."

An army that belongs to her, this sentence is tempting enough, and Li Wei is already moved. (To be continued.) )
