Chapter 503: Waiting

The huge Qingliang Palace, a dragon chair, and an empty hall.

No lights were lit, and no one was used to serve them.

The palace ladies and eunuchs all knew that every evening, the emperor would sit alone in the main hall of the Qingliang Hall for a while. Don't let anyone in.

Qiu Gaoling leaned back on the wide dragon chair and closed his eyes.

His hands rested loosely on the armrests of the dragon chair, and he pinched a string of amethyst bracelets in one hand. Count the beads one by one.

When you are alone, you can calm down.

Originally, when he was in Senshokaku, he had a separate attic where he could relax and think about things. There was not even a place of tranquility in the palace.

The women in the harb~ palace are all eyeing him, it's not that he doesn't know.

But he doesn't care about this, this country, in his hands, is just a child's play.

I have seen a wider world, the dragon chair...... It's not that tempting either.

"Why don't you light the lights?" The cold voice of the Nine Emperor Princes came from the door, and it was pitch black that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Qiu Gaoling slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"Thinking about things, impatient to light the lamp."

As soon as the Nine Emperor Princes waved their hands, a eunuch immediately came in and counted all the lights in the Qingliang Palace. For a while, the lights in the hall were bright, and the hearts of the people who illuminated them brightened.

The Nine Emperor Princes looked at Qiu Gaoling angrily, only to find that he had untied his hair crown, and was tilting his head to look at him with his black hair scattered.

"I've never seen anyone more like an emperor than you." The Nine Emperors pouted. If his brothers who broke their heads saw it, they didn't know what they would be angry.

Qiu Gaoling squinted and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with a smile: "I really don't understand." Why don't you want to be an emperor? ”

Although the good and the bad are uneven, the Dong family still has a few good seedlings. For example, Luo Chen (forget it, strictly speaking, Luo Chen is not a member of the Dong family), Dong Li is also good (although it has always been GAY before), and another example is Dong Mu in front of him.

Do they know if their father will come back to life.

"I have seen what you asked me to send me, what do you think?" The Nine Emperors didn't talk to him, and casually pulled a footstool and sat down, planning to have a good chat with him about the note sent by Chonghua.

Qiu Gaoling waved his hand: "Don't say it here, the wall has ears." ”

The Nine Emperor Princes choked, and this palace has been living in Qiu Gaoling since it was beaten, and all the plants and trees have been killed. A strictly guarded iron bucket. Not to mention passing on the news, there are many fewer people even gossiping. In this way, I am worried that the partition wall has ears...... Will you be too careful?

Qiu Gaoling ignored the complaints on the faces of the Nine Emperor Princes. Leaned over and got up: "Go to the water pavilion and say." ”

In recent days, he has been particularly fond of going to the water pavilion to see the snow. Bent in a puddle of water. There are snowflakes like floating ice and catkins all over the sky, so emotional.

The Nine Emperors frowned, he liked the wind and snow, but he didn't like to be with Qiu Gaoling. But the news in my hand can't be thrown away casually. I had to follow hard.

Many palace people followed closely behind the emperor and the Nine Emperor Princes. but they are all waiting from afar.

This new emperor was different from other emperors. The temperament is very difficult to understand. I don't like people to follow closely. In the past, it was easy not to need people to be close to you. I don't like to light up at night. If it weren't for the Nine Emperor Princes entering the palace, I am afraid that I would not be able to see the slightest smile.

The palace concubines in the back ~ palace all have a good plan in their hearts, but they have nowhere to start.

Want to set up the emperor? You can see it.

The toes are five or six meters away. This period of time can be regarded as giving face. If the Nine Emperors come, let's take a walk together.

The face is always faint, and there seem to be a thousand words in the eyes, but it only allows you to guess randomly.

Such people are the most difficult to get along with.

A few plates of fruit and a pot of tea were placed in the water pavilion. Qiu Gaoling frowned, and immediately a little eunuch came up to change the tea for hot wine.

The Nine Emperor Princes picked up a window seat and sat down, watching the ice floes in the inlet outside bump and bumble, ignoring Qiu Gaoling.

Qiu Gaoling ordered someone to take a piano and put it on a few.

"Seeing that you are so idle, I guess you won't worry about anything even if you go to war." The Nine Emperor Princes teased.

Qiu Gaoling smiled, and his slender hand slowly stroked the strings.

The clear and clear sound of the piano spreads melodiously.

The Nine Emperors leaned against the window and watched Qiu Gaoling with his eyes closed, indulging in his own world. suddenly felt the malice from his second sister-in-law.

Finding such a worldly master to be the emperor, second sister-in-law, you actually hope that the Shang Kingdom will die, right?

After playing the song, Qiu Gaoling opened his eyes slightly and looked at the strings.

"If there is really a war, the Shang State will inevitably form an alliance with Lanling." Qiu Gaoling raised his sleeves, got up and walked over.

Looking at the glazed snow outside the window, he sighed: "I really don't understand how anyone likes to fight and kill." ”

The Nine Emperor Princes were silent: "You are not qualified to say this as a person from the rivers and lakes." ”

Qiu Gaoling stood up straight and looked out from afar: "I'm a person from the rivers and lakes...... And now I'm standing here. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes glanced at him and coughed lightly: "In the end, it's all the second brother's fault, let it go." ”

Qiu Gaoling lowered his head, looked deeply at the Nine Emperor Prince's sword-like eyebrows, and after a while, he pursed his lips and smiled: "He is used to being willful." ”

In the Lanling Palace, Chonghua lowered his head and looked at Qiu Gaoling's reply, his heart beating wildly.

In the past, I always felt that Qiu Gaoling had hills and valleys in his heart, and if it was good, it was ambitious, and if it was bad, it was too much.

Now it seems that in addition to the eyes of the heart, this person also has brains.

Luo Chen and Nobunaga were both summoned, and Chonghua announced with a solemn face: "Lanling and Shang have officially formed an alliance. ”

Nobunaga was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you have such an expression when you form an alliance?" ”

Chonghua's face was as solemn as the price of grain had risen. You really don't feel the joy of forming an alliance.

Luo Chen also noticed that Chonghua's face was not very good, but he didn't think about it. Women, when it comes to war, there are few faces that will be fine. It's normal to feel upset.

Chonghua took the note and handed it over: "I thought I had a spoiler for Gu Chengren and could prepare early." Your cousin has already deployed it. ”

Although Qiu Gaoling is no longer the leader of the martial arts alliance, the power in his hands has not been put down.

Early in the morning, spies were watching several other countries. As soon as there is a little turmoil, his side will know the news immediately.

It is not a large-scale invasion, but an inevitable scenario in the course of history.

Whether the Shang Kingdom will be involved or not, no one can guarantee.

Now there is Lai Xiaochun pressing the border, and although the emperors of other countries do not know Lai Xiaochun, the generals under him do. Therefore, for the time being, no one dares to act rashly.

Qiu Gaoling said that he couldn't promise anything, but he would always trust Lai. Because Lai Koharu is someone Luo Chen believes. "The brain circuits of people in the rivers and lakes are different from those of officials in the court.

As long as you can protect what you cherish, your boring self-esteem can be completely forgotten.

Qiu Gaoling didn't listen to or believe the fingers of those courtiers in the court. From beginning to end, I only believed in Xiao Jiu and came to Xiao Chun. There is no third person. Because the fiefdom of the three princes was too close to the border, Qiu Gaoling also specially ordered the fiefdom of the three princes to be relocated. safely and securely sent the three princes and their family away from the land of right and wrong.

"I owe it to him." Luo Chen said with a gloomy face.

If it weren't for his willfulness, his cousin would still be at ease in the rivers and lakes. Just because of his temporary willfulness, Qiu Gaoling gave up his days of idle clouds and wild cranes. Anchored himself to the dragon chair in the palace.

Completely unfamiliar environment. A lifestyle that is completely unadaptable. If it weren't for Qiu Gaoling's heart, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy a long time ago.

Chonghua's eyes drifted away, how should she tell Luo Chen that she had always felt that Qiu Gaoling did these things not because Luo Chen was his younger brother, but because of Xiao Jiu.

After all, this is not very popular in this era. No one will believe her when she says it.

What if people don't mean that and let her poke it out, Xiao Jiu is still alive?

"All in all, let's get ready." Nobunaga ignored their twists and turns. Just know what to do in front of you.

The love of children has never been in the scope of his consideration.

Shigeka admired Nobunaga's heart like iron, and his style was puzzled. More laissez-faire to Nobunaga in the running of the army.

"But you have to establish your own prestige in the army. It doesn't matter if he's using his fists or his personality. "Chonghua said that it is really inconvenient for me to support the two of you in this position.

It is one thing for the emperor to order people to obey, and quite another for himself to follow willingly.

At least that's how Chonghua himself is. Even if others say that it is good, if you are not satisfied, you will never take a step forward.

Lamur couldn't understand why Chonghua was so determined to implement the New Deal and suddenly relaxed again. I thought she was beginning to fear the counterattack of the nobles. I ran to Chonghua to discuss with me.

"Scared?" Chonghua's mind was full of a sense of urgency about to start a war, and when he heard Lamur ask, he was stunned.

Lamur's face was gloomy: "I'm afraid that if I don't tighten, I must not relax at this time, once I loosen it, those nobles will be publicized." ”

Chonghua smiled: "I understand your worries, but I have more important things to do now, and you said that people can't be divided into two." ”

Lamur was stunned: "Do you want to get married?" ”

Chonghua: ...... Who raised the bear child!

Seeing Chonghua's cold face, Lamur couldn't help but tense up.

Although Chonghua's style of acting is absolutely different from his own mother sometimes, it is really the same when he is angry. The face that I saw since I was a child is still shocking.

"I have reliable information that there is not always going to be a war. I can't distinguish the spirit here, and you can supervise and find a way on the New Deal. Chonghua glared at Lamur irritably: "I only look at the results, and whoever dares to stand in the way will be sent to the front line to fight." ”

Ramur was silent, what is reliable news, and there is still a war? Is there a sense of responsibility for such a big thing to come out of your mouth like this?

"How can you fight a war?" Lamur muttered. Apparently unbelieving.

Chonghua slapped it on the armrest: "It's not to prevent war, what did I ask Luo Chen and Nobunaga to do in the army?" ”

Is it true that the old lady sent people to play? It's not about moving the fish in the stagnant water!

Lamur looked at Chonghua in confusion: "Is it to train sergeants?" ”

Chonghua's eyes drifted away and he held his forehead speechlessly, and waved his hand silently: "Okay, you just go to study the new deal and implement the rest, don't think about it." There's no way I'm going to get you to the front anyway. ”

You have to leave a bone and blood for the first emperor. In case she goes home halfway, Lanling must have someone to follow.

Nobunaga wants to be the emperor and let him fight by himself, and the world he has won will be cherished.

The document of the alliance, the two troublesome emperors exchanged one in private. None of the courtiers of the two countries received any news. It is not even known that the two countries have formed an alliance.

Pressed on the border, Koharu was bored and went to build a house. But in recent days, an inexplicable sense of urgency has drifted along with the clouds in the sky.

The feeling of oppression as if it was about to rain thunderstorms was particularly irritating in the clear sky.

Lai Koharu rode on a horse and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance.

If Luo Chen doesn't come back, he may have to wander outside for the rest of his life. Back then, his father only asked him to protect Luo Chen, but he didn't tell him what Luo Chen should do if he picked his son.

"General, Jingzhong Express." The lieutenant rode over.

Lai Xiaochun raised his eyebrows, and the emperor in Beijing was not pleasing to his eyes. Most of the people who sent him the news in Ping Suri were Xiao Jiu. opened the express letter, and Koharu's eyes lit up.

This note is sonorous and powerful, and it seems familiar.

It seems that he hasn't seen this handwriting for many years, and Lai Xiaochun's heart hurts as if he has been pulled.

There was no other person in the letter, only one sentence: "War is near, be careful." ”

It's Senior Brother, and he can recognize Senior Brother's words even if they turn to ashes. This express letter was not written to him by someone in Beijing, but a message passed on by Luo Chen through Xiao Jiu.

sniffed, and Lai Xiaochun's dim eyes instantly lit up.

Finally, I don't have to be bored every day to press the border. Finally, I can move again.

Lai Xiaochun carefully put away the letter and instructed the adjutant general: "Order the whole army, and be ready to meet the battle at any time." ”

The deputy general was stunned, just as if he had come to Koharu to receive a battle report. Immediately went back to the camp and gave the order.

Lai Xiaochun's bright and cold eyes looked at the boundless line of heaven and earth.

Come on, come on. Master, my forehand is itchy, I haven't exercised for a long time, and my body is going to rust.

If the real war is imminent, he is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

What's more, there is still his senior brother, is the day when the brothers and sisters will fight side by side?

Although I don't know where my brother got the news, Xiao Chun's life dictionary has never doubted Luo Chen's option. He couldn't be clearer about what kind of person his senior brother was. Even if he is willful, even if he is stubborn, his senior brother will never change.

Pinching the spear, Koharu inexplicably felt excited. It was as if there was a large area of black oppressive enemy troops in front of him, waiting for him to cut the waves.

An eagle's cry rang out from the sky, as if the guns were being fired.

The Battle of the Central Plains quietly kicked off in such fine weather. (To be continued......)
