Not long after the general returned, Yi wrote a letter asking for war against Ningguo, pointing out that Ningguo raided the border passes, burned grain and grass to kill officers and soldiers, and if he didn't return to color, he would lose face in the city. Yan Xiang was still noncommittal, but the Riveting family was determined to fight, so on this morning, the two sides began an open contest.

"Your Majesty, this time the general went behind the enemy regardless of his own safety, although he punished Xiaoxiao who came to invade the territory, but the other party has repeatedly targeted our country, assassinating and raiding by unscrupulous means, we must give a counterattack, otherwise they will only gain an inch."

"Young Master Yi, now that my city is getting stronger and stronger, it is normal to become a thorn in the side of other countries, but rashly launching a war for these causes the people to be displaced from the merchants, and the country may go back ten years or more, and I don't think it's worth it."

"General Ben is telling the king, is Yan Xiang in a hurry?" Yi is now completely deprived of face to Yan Xiang.

"The affairs of the court have always been the king's worries, it was like this before, and it will not change in the future, Young Master Yi, this matter should be discussed in the long run." Yan Xiang did not shy away from his ambition to control the government.

"Yan Xiang, I feel that what General Yi said is reasonable." Although the cocoon hesitated in his heart, his face was as calm and calm as possible. As soon as these words came out, the court was quiet for a while, and then it became noisy, and the other ministers originally had a wait-and-see attitude, but it was rare for the king to speak his opinion in the hall, and soon there were more people who supported the war.

"Prime Minister Yan, see if you can let General Yi draw up a military plan and submit it first, if it is appropriate and feasible, you will start it at a later date." Cocoon spoke again, and the hall quickly fell silent, waiting for Yan Xiang's reply.

Yan felt an inexplicable uneasiness at the moment, although he knew that Cocoon was sorry for the Riveting family and definitely wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it, but now that he refuted himself in public, he had never thought of it, and then he felt that he was still that timid and thin young man, could he be too careful?! The reactions of those ministers were also reasonable, and a little unexpected, Yan repeatedly deliberated in his heart, and bowed his hand slightly, which was considered to be an answer.

After scattering the court, the cocoon went straight to Liuyunxuan, just entered the courtyard, he saw the dye basking in the sun in the courtyard, he took three steps and walked two steps towards the dye, and then hugged her, dye can clearly hear the sound of his heart beating wildly. After hugging for a while, the two hugged back to the dormitory, and the palace ladies made colors to each other, but they didn't follow.

There was a beautiful spring light in the dormitory, and it gradually faded after a while.

Misty Dye, leaning on the cocoon's chest, asked softly, "Are you better?" ”

"Much better." Cocoon played with her long dyed hair and kissed her forehead gently.

"They quarreled after all?" Dye probably guessed what it was for.

"Yes, for the sake of whether to start a war with Ning Guo, I also stood on the side of the Riveting family and refuted Yan Xiang according to what you said." Of course, Cocoon knows the intention of dyeing such a request, and sooner or later he will always have to face it head-on, although he is still frightened, but he is still a little happy when he thinks of the expression of Yan in the hall just now.

"It seems that he will have to be more cautious in the future, he will definitely notice something." The guards and the palace people who obeyed Yan's orders should be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise they still won't be able to escape that person's control.

"Well, I know, I've come here, and I can't make any mistakes, and all my work is in vain." The cocoon increased the strength of his hand and strangled the dyed dead into his arms.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you." Dye also felt it and comforted it.

Chatting and chatting, Dye fell asleep tiredly, and let her lean motionlessly, and asked softly in her heart, if one day, you knew that I was such a dark person, would you still accompany me?

Within a few days, Young Master Yi submitted the battle route, arrangement, list of military supplies, etc., which he had repeatedly considered, one by one, Yan was not good to oppose directly, so he had to summon the scholars and servants of all ministries to discuss together, and the result was that most of the servants were very recognized, and only a few of them had intimate contacts with Yan to find out some omissions, but they were all in the overall situation, so after procrastinating for five days, Yan had no choice but to agree, and the Ministry of Rites chose a good day and an auspicious day, and the army was drawn out to officially start a war with Ningguo.

The auspicious day was chosen on the second day of the king's birthday, because too many things happened this year, and Concubine Lan was also a new mourner, so the king announced to the world in advance that everything on his birthday was simple, and there was no banquet or singing and dancing.

On the night of his birthday, the king held a family banquet in the garden of Liuyunxuan, and only General Yi and a few newly promoted squires from various ministries were summoned, and Yan Xiang was not invited. Although it is a harem family banquet, but the dishes during the banquet are all vegetarian dishes, there is no meat, and the wine pot is only fruit brew, not a serious drink, and the invited young waiters can't help but think of the fact that the king went to the mausoleum of Lan Guifei alone before, and met the riveting general, all of them were infatuated by the king, and whispered, General Yi also had red eyes when he heard it, and frequently raised his glass to the king, and the pair of in-laws were much closer than when Lan Guifei was there.

The family banquet was arranged in Liuyunxuan, and everyone thought that they would see the bewitching lady who had been very favored since entering the palace, but as a result, they did not see her until the banquet began, and the king only said that the lady was busy with the palace officials in the back kitchen, and she didn't have to wait for her, so she beckoned everyone to eat, until the dishes were ready, and the bewitching lady changed into a plain robe, thinly applied powder, and went to the banquet to greet you and then retreated back to the dormitory. General Yi wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her, but he didn't have time, so he had to give up.

"Today's family banquet, let's not talk about the court, only about Fengyue, you don't have to be restrained, just feel free." The king raised a glass and drank it all, most of the officials were in the harem for the first time, it was inevitable that they were at a loss, and it took a while to get warm, toast and talk to each other, plus General Yi and several generals he brought were martial temperaments, heroic and refreshing, when the moon was in the middle, the courtyard was already lively, the king was sitting on the throne to deal with the officials who came to toast, or drank with General Yi from afar, compared to a year ago when he reluctantly participated in the celebration banquet, even if he had all the songs and dances and wine, he still felt lonely and lonely, and now it is another world.

No one at the table mentioned the changes in the court, but everyone understood in their hearts that being invited today was not only the king's importance to himself, but also the king's telling the court and the opposition that he did not want to continue to be a puppet king.

The next day, before dawn, General Yi led the army to set off. Before leaving, he sent someone to send a letter to Liuyunxuan and handed it to Yao, and there was only one sentence in the letter: Thank you for saving your father.

After Yan was refuted by the cocoon in the court that day, he tightened his control over the various ministries, and many of the young officials who were invited to the king's family banquet were set aside when they returned, but this move also aroused more dissatisfaction among the ministers, and everyone who did not want to participate in the battle between Yan Xiang and the king also stood on the opposite side of Yan Xiang intentionally or unintentionally.

Just when the battle between Ningguo and Jiaocheng was about to break out, Wan Niang sent the master's order to Dye's hands, in addition to a handwritten letter from Wan Niang, Dye hesitated for a moment, and first opened Wan Niang's handwriting: "This day is finally here, I know that you and the king and his wife are deeply in love, otherwise they would not have done so much for him to regain power, I also understand your contradictions and pain, but you still have to complete the mission of the clan, you know, real women are not qualified to have sincerity." ”

Another letter from the master, after being opened, the familiar handwriting of the master actually made Dye miss it a little, and the content was not surprising at all, it was for Dye to spy on important military intelligence when the two countries were at war, so as to ensure the victory of Ning Guo in the war. After reading it, Dye burned both letters, handed over the ashes to Yao to bury in the yard to use as fertilizer for flowers and plants, and she herself changed her clothes and went to Zhongzheng Palace, where the eyeliner of the man in the harem should also be cut.

Just at the border pass of the city, when Ning Guo had not yet completed the assembly of the army, General Yi took his personal team to raid the other party's grain and grass, and used his own way to govern his body, the first to seize the opportunity, the good news came, the cocoon was extremely excited, rewarded the family members of the Riveting family and several other deputy generals, and also ordered Dye to prepare wine and food, to celebrate with her, but before he walked to Liuyunxuan, he saw Liuyunxuan, the flames were soaring.

"Liuyunxuan is out of the water!!" "Liuyunxuan is out of the water!!" In an instant, the soldiers were in chaos, and the guards of the internal officials and palaces rushed towards Liuyunxuan with basins and kettles, and the fire was quickly controlled, but Liuyunxuan's kitchen was destroyed, and most of the palaces and officials were safe and sound, but they were a little disheveled, and there were traces of smoke on their faces, but they were injured.

"Why is Madame Enchanting injured?" Cocoon was furious, "All of your subordinates were unscathed, but the master of Madame was injured, how did you all do errands?" “

"That, that, it's the lady herself who wants to go into the kitchen, saying that she wants to personally stare at the soup stewed for the king, and we can't stop it as subordinates," the internal official of Liuyunxuan hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Later, somehow, there was a fire inside, and when we wanted to rush inside, Madame was already helped out by Gong Eyao." He relied on the fact that he was the person designated by the Yan Minister, and he didn't have much reverence for Dye and the king in his heart.

"Bold, so negligent to your master, and many excuses, as a palace manager, you don't even know how to walk in the palace in your own palace, how can you trust you again." The cocoon's face was expressionless: "Someone came, all the palace people in Liuyun Xuan, dereliction of duty, and sophistry, all of them were expelled from the palace and never hired." As soon as these words came out, wails were heard all over the land.

Dye had just asked the imperial doctor to bandage his wound at this time, and hurriedly walked out: "Your Majesty, please also ask the king to calm his anger, they didn't mean it." As he spoke, he knelt down, his cuffs covering his face, and he looked like he was crying.

The king interrupted her: "Don't be soft-hearted, they don't protect you well, you are injured, Lone didn't put them into the prison is already an extrajudicial grace, you better go back and rest, just leave it to Lone here." ”

"Then, then please ask the general Wang to stay with the palace lady who rescued the concubine from the fire just now, so that the rewards and punishments are clear." Dye bowed again, and then turned and went back to the dormitory.

"Hear that, Chief Hong, what are you waiting for, drive the other palace people out immediately, Lone never wants to see them again." And when he had said that, the king also entered the dyed dormitory, leaving a room full of people with their own hearts. The leader of the guards, Hong, hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to carry out the king's order, but whispered to the guards to run and report to Yan Xiang.

"Oh? Gone water? What about the bewitching lady's injuries? Yan Xiang sat calmly at the desk, writing.

"Mrs. Enchanting only burned a piece of her hand, and it is not a big problem, but the king is furious and wants to drive away all the people in Liuyun Xuan, and Chief Hong does not dare to make decisions without authorization, so let his subordinates ask Yan Xiang what he means." The guards couldn't figure out what Yan Xiang meant for a while, why did they care about Mrs. Enchanting's injury first, the people in the palace were all Yan Xiang's carefully selected cronies, and now that they were expelled from the palace, Yan Xiang didn't seem to care?

"Then according to the king's will, there is no objection to the prime minister, but in this arrangement, there will be no palace people to serve Liuyunxuan, and the prime minister will make plans again, you go back first." After saying that, he sent his own soldiers out, but he did not pause in his own writing, writing and writing, after all, it was two words enchanting.
