Zhou Guifei traveled, although she was only in the palace, but the honor guard was still luxurious, and dozens of people hugged each other, full of style.

The Great Qian Dynasty had a full treasury and strong national strength, and even though it had been at war for the past two years, the conquest of the surrounding seven countries not only did not cause a serious burden to the Great Qian Dynasty, but made the dynasty make a small fortune from the war.

So in this case, there is naturally no need for the monarch to lead by example to be thrifty, the harem is quite generous, and Qianguangyuan is well-known for his benevolence, and the expenses of the concubines are more and more generous.

According to the usual practice, after the daily morning dynasty, Qianguangyuan would go to the imperial study to discuss some national affairs with several cabinet elders, and after the discussion, he would stay in the imperial study to review some chapters that must be passed by him.

Although most of the government affairs can be handled by the cabinet on behalf of the emperor, the Daqian Dynasty is too big, and the number of recitals that are collected in Kyoto Prefecture every day can be described as a car.

And the recitals that required the emperor's personal approval, even a very small part of these recitals, were still a huge and heavy workload.

The lord of a country, as long as he is not indulging in pleasure, but really wants to do something, there is no real reason to rule.

Concubine Zhou's guard of honor soon came to the outside of the imperial study.

Got off the sedan chair with the support of the maids, and the eunuchs who were waiting outside the imperial study hurriedly knelt down and saluted with Zhou Guifei, Zhou Guifei waved her hand, let these eunuchs get up, and then walked towards the imperial study.

It stands to reason that even the emperor's concubines cannot enter and leave the imperial study at will, and even if there is a reason why they must visit, they must wait outside for the transmission.

But in the past year, Zhou Guifei has been greatly doted on by the emperor, and there is no one who can compare with her in the harem, so many things in the palace that need to be avoided do not mean anything to Zhou Guifei.

At this time, Emperor Qianguang was frowning in the imperial study and looking at a recital, several elders of the cabinet had left, and there were only four eunuchs in the imperial study.

The content of this recital is not a major military event, but for Qian Guangyuan, it is more important than any major military event.

Because this piece of music is a secret piece from the royal secret spy network!

And the content ...... It is about Xia Fan's return to Beijing today, when he clashed with the prince of Pingxi outside Kyoto Prefecture.

Although Xia Fan directly ordered the slaughter of the hundred guards of the prince of Pingxi, and it was just outside the gate of the Kyoto Mansion, Qian Guangyuan did not feel any unhappiness, just looked at the whole process described in the recital, with an interested expression.

"The teacher hasn't returned for two years, and his temper seems to be much better than it was more than two years ago...... If it was still in the academy, when the little bastard of the Pingxi Wang family was looking for trouble at the beginning, the teacher would go up and smoke directly, right? “

Smiling slightly, Qian Guangyuan casually threw the secret fold in his hand on the table in front of him, stretched a little tiredly, and groaned comfortably.

Two years have passed, and Qian Guangyuan looks much more mature than he did two years ago, and the deliberately grown beard also makes Qian Guangyuan's face look older than his actual age.

The emperor, who has been sitting for more than two years, has decided all the big and small affairs, and has moved his qi and raised his body.

Just after stretching his waist, he was about to pick up the teacup and take a sip of hot tea, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the imperial study.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Guifei walked in alone with a sad face, and walked in front of Qianguangyuan, and then bowed and said, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Huh? Is there anything urgent about Aifei? Why is your face so ugly? ”

Qian Guangyuan put down the teacup and asked strangely.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here to ask for sin."

Zhou Guifei's little face collapsed, as if she was about to shed tears.

"Please? What is the sin of the concubine? ”

Qian Guangyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of unhappiness flashed faintly in the corners of his eyes, but Zhou Guifei lowered her head and didn't see it.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here to plead for my impulsive brother. Your Majesty should know that my brother has been bloody all these years and has rarely had time to take care of the family, so although he is getting older, he still has only one son. I never thought that this morning, the only son in my brother's family actually had a conflict with people outside the city gate, and the other party was so domineering that he dared to kill all the guards arranged by my brother for the only son in broad daylight, and also plundered my brother's only son. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Guifei finally cried, but she put on a look that she still had to hold back her tears, and continued: "Because he is the only seedling in the family, my brother has always been spoiled, and he was immediately furious when he learned the news. But after all, it was in Kyoto Prefecture, so my brother wanted to investigate it first, but he didn't expect it...... According to the person who reported the news, he also entered the city after kidnapping my brother's son. And also shouted what about the Pingxi Palace, it was just a group of stinky soldiers, they were people from the Xia family, not to mention just killing a few soldiers, even if they razed the Pingxi Palace, no one dared to say anything. ”

"Your Majesty! My brother's temper you know, it was a powder keg that exploded at a moment's notice, and after hearing the news, he couldn't bear it anymore, and went straight out of the city to mobilize the cavalry he brought back from the front and stationed outside the city! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Guifei couldn't cry, and the whole person had already cried into tears.

Qianguangyuan's face was even more strange, if it was in the past, Qianguangyuan at this time should have stepped forward to comfort him, but at this moment, he was still sitting on his chair, quietly looking at Zhou Guifei who was kneeling in front of him.

Zhou Guifei naturally felt strange, after sobbing twice, she looked up and peeked at Qian Guangyuan's face, the woman's unique sensitivity made her faintly aware of something wrong, but at this time, she could only continue.

So after kowtowing heavily, Zhou Guifei continued: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have killed the enemy in blood on the front line, and for the sake of the dynasty to expand the territory, how many soldiers have stained the battlefield with blood and buried their bones in other places. But I didn't expect that after returning to Kyoto, I would be oppressed by the powerful, and my brother's approach was really rebellious, but please let Your Majesty understand his anger. I have come here to plead for my brother's guilt, and I only hope that Your Majesty will remember my brother's hard work in the past two years, and not sentence him to death because he brought troops into Beijing without authorization, and as for other punishments, even if it is to cut off the prince, my brother will be willing. ”

"You...... Finished? ”

Qian Guangyuan's tone became a little colder.

Sensing the sudden distance, Zhou Guifei raised her head in amazement, not understanding what was wrong, and instinctively continued: "Your Majesty, my brother is the one who leads the troops, I know that his actions will anger you, but...... But he also has a hard time, his soldiers were killed, if he didn't respond, he just endured it, who could obey him in the future? ”

"Look at this."

Qianguangyuan took a deep breath, picked up the secret fold on the table, and threw it in front of Zhou Guifei.
