Zhao Heng once again drove Wan'an Palace, nominally to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but in fact to ask the little sister for advice. Along the way, I saw the people kneeling down and praising and praising me, and I felt that my face was spicy, and the emperor was really no one when he was on him.

When others become emperors, it is a wine pond meat forest, seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, enjoying endless glory and wealth, and endless extravagance and erosion. And he, in order to subsidize military spending, disbanded the harem on the first day of becoming emperor. As an emperor, he only has three wives, and there are less than 30 palace maids in the entire harem, which is not as good as the average minister's family.

He worked so hard and worked so hard, if he could make the country stronger and richer, it would be worth it. But now it's the opposite, the country is crumbling, and the people of Li are poor.

What can this mean, probably only shows that he Zhao Heng is the first incompetent emperor in history. Hey, he's so hard.

After thinking about it, the royal palace arrived at Wan'an Palace, Zhao Heng saluted the queen mother, and everyone in Wan'an Palace came out to meet the emperor.

Zhao Mingyue's eyes were gloomy, her face was expressionless, and she didn't have the usual enthusiasm for Zhao Heng, which made Zhao Heng embarrassed to speak for a long time, so he had to chat with Duan Jinyan, who came to visit the door.

Although Zhao Mingyue was in a bad mood, after all, Bing Xue was smart, so she spoke first: "Brother Huang is here, but is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhao Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled awkwardly and said, "There are some things I want to ask Mingyue for advice in person." ”

Zhao Mingyue said with a cold face: "Brother Huang is too polite. ”

Zhao Heng coughed lightly and told Zhao Mingyue about the current desperate situation on all sides.

Zhao Mingyue stood up suddenly when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "What?" The bed crossbow is also broken? ”

"Yes, the sword gate is not in danger."

Zhao Mingyue tilted her head, trying her best not to let the tears fall from her eyes, and muttered in her mouth: "It's him, it must be him who broke it." ”

"Who is the royal sister talking about?" Zhao Heng asked suspiciously.

"Ling Kun." After Zhao Mingyue finished speaking, a series of crystal clear tears could no longer be suppressed.

Zhao Hengda was shocked and said, "You mean that Ling Kun descended to the Shu Kingdom?" ”

"He is in Furong Palace, Sichuan, and must have something to do with Shu State. The bed crossbow was invented by him, and only he could break it so easily. ”

Duan Jinyan said angrily: "Princess, Ling Kun knows that you are the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and also."

If you want to act for the tiger and deliberately oppose the Great Song Dynasty, it is simply punishable. ”

Zhao Mingyue wiped her tears, sat cross-legged at the low table, picked up the brush and continued to copy the scriptures, leaving Zhao Heng and Duan Jinyan aside.

Zhao Heng was a little embarrassed, but he still continued: "Hey, Jianmen Pass was already in an emergency, and now the tiger and wolf division of Li Jiqian of Western Xia is trying their best to help, if the two sides converge at Jianmen Pass, my Great Song elite will be wrapped into dumpling stuffing by them, and I really have no way to ask the imperial sister for advice." ”

Zhao Mingyue was expressionless, still copying scriptures.

Zhao Heng was completely embarrassed, saying no, not walking, so he had to keep pacing on the ground.

Zhao Mingyue copied all half of the scriptures, but she still didn't have the meaning of raising her head to speak, and looked at the words she wrote motionlessly.

"This, this, this." Zhao Heng was anxious, and asked the servant sword who was waiting on the side, "Mingyue, what's going on?" It wasn't like that before. ”

"Your Majesty, the princess has become like this since she came back from Qinzhou." Squire replied.

"Hey, it's all my fault, I can't clean up the country by myself, and I have repeatedly caused trouble to the imperial sister." Zhao Heng said with a face full of shame: "Mingyue, you have a good rest, these national affairs, I will properly solve them with the civil and military officials, you must take care of your health, the third brother will go back first." As he spoke, he patted Zhao Mingyue on the shoulder and walked out.

"Third brother, slow down." Zhao Mingyue stopped Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng turned around and saw that Zhao Mingyue had burst into tears.

"Third brother, I'll help you again, but this is the last time." Zhao Mingyue choked up a little.

Zhao Hengda said happily: "Imperial sister, as long as you pass the current level, everything will be fine." ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded, suddenly looked at Duan Jinyan and said, "Prince Duan, do you want to marry me?" ”

Her sudden question made everyone stunned, Duan Jinyan thought that he was dreaming, and it took him a long time to react, and he nodded busily: "Think, think, think, I have a sincere heart for the princess, and the world can learn from it." ”

"Okay, I can marry you." Zhao Mingyue said, but there was no trace of emotion in her tone, but this was enough to make Duan Jinyan ecstatic.

Zhao Heng and the sword were stunned, so much so that the sword who was pouring tea forgot the pot in his hand and spilled the tea on the ground.

"I have one condition, though." Zhao Mingyue continued.

Duan was solemn and strict

nodded, patted his chest and said: "Even if the princess mentions, a hundred or a thousand can do, as long as I can do it, it doesn't matter how much." ”

"I want Dali to send 100,000 troops, cross the Jinsha River and Daliang Mountain and insert it into Chengdu from behind, cutting off the back road of the Shu rebels." Zhao Mingyue said, pointing to the map on the wall.

At this point, everyone understood Zhao Mingyue's intentions.

If Dali can send troops, it will be a knife from the back of the Shu army, Dali and the Great Song Dynasty will be attacked before and after, and it will be difficult for the Shu rebels not to die. Moreover, in this way, a large number of troops can be saved to deal with Li Jiqian, and the danger on the side of Western Xia will also be solved.

Zhao Heng was happy and sad, happy that in this way, Da Song was saved again. Sadly, in the end, I have to rely on my sister and my relatives to solve the problem.

Duan Jinyan was also shocked, such a major matter as sending troops was not something that he could decide as a prince, but since he had the opportunity, he would not give up. So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, princess, I will go back to Dali immediately in the next place, and I will definitely contribute to this matter, princess, Duan is waiting for your master in Dali, and he has taken his leave." With that, he turned and ran, stumbling on the threshold.

Zhao Heng held Zhao Mingyue's hand and said, "Imperial sister, the third brother is incompetent, I have wronged you." He knew that Zhao Mingyue didn't like Duan Jinyan, and he did it all in exchange for Dali sending troops.

Zhao Mingyue said with tears in her eyes: "It's okay, third brother, as a woman, you have to marry someone after all, who is different to marry?" Duan is also not bad. ”

Zhao Heng sighed for a long time and left, but he put down a stone in his heart.

Duan Suying, the emperor of Dali, was really spoiled by his only son Duan Jinyan, and after listening to his son's story, he made a decision after a little thought: "It's okay to send troops, and to be able to form an alliance with a great power like the Great Song Dynasty is also a guarantee for us in Dali." But I have to wait for the princess to marry before I can send troops. ”

Duan Jinyan was naturally overjoyed.

Within a few days, the envoy of Dali came to see Zhao Heng on the cover cover, and presented Duan Suying's handwritten letter, to the effect that it was the honor of the small country of Dali to be able to marry the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years of Qin and Jin, and when the wedding of the princess and the prince was over, Dali immediately sent troops into Sichuan.

Zhao Heng Hengxi discussed with Zhao Mingyue, and Zhao Mingyue said that it should be done as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night when the sword gate is closed.

Zhao Heng immediately discussed with Kou Zhun and others, and sent the former general, Zhao Mingyue's maternal uncle Li Jilong, as the minister of the Qin Mission, sent a special envoy, and led a team to send Zhao Mingyue to Dali to complete the marriage.
