Shendu, Taichu Palace, where the crape myrtle star falls, and the new composition of the Ming Hall.

At the beginning, the fire of heaven extended to the Ming Hall, and although the fire was finally extinguished, it was inevitably burned and destroyed. While the empress rebuilt the heavens, she also ordered the restoration of the Ming Hall.

Now, heaven has been restored, and the Ming Hall has been pinked. After the renovation of the Ming Hall, the glory is still the same, but in the eyes of Wu, I always feel very different from before.

At the beginning of last month, another major project of the Wu Dynasty, Kyushu Ding, was newly cast. The empress's mood was disturbed by the Khitan border troubles improved, and she set up a large ceremony, ordering the prime minister, the kings, and more than 100,000 guards from the north and south to enter the Ming Hall with big bulls and white elephants. Yuzhou is respected, and the remaining eight tripods are arched, and they are placed in the Ming Hall in order of the square.

However, the good mood did not last long, and the rebellion in Jizhou came. suddenly recalled the Yangzhou Rebellion more than ten years ago, similar situations, Wu was also resentful in his heart, wanting to kill the thief and then quickly, but with a slight sense of powerlessness. Seventy years old, the twilight of life, is unavoidable for the empress.

In the quiet Mingtang Palace, Wu Pingyuan followed, pacing alone in the middle, and his still sharp eyes browsed through the nine tripods in the hall one by one. The five colors are mixed with each other, the gold is lacquered, and the image of the mountains and rivers of Honshu is engraved in the meantime, which seems to absorb the empress's mind in it.

"The peasants are the first, and Xuan Hao is in the middle of the year.

Tang Yu followed the heel, and Tang Yu took the time.

The world is light, and the sea is young.

Shang Xuan descended to Jian, Fang Jianlongji. ”

After a long time, Wu Tai breathed, and his mouth was faint and he read his previous work "Song of the Ding". The poems are majestic, the rhymes are sonorous, and their meanings are profound. However, at this moment, the empress read it, but she lost some of the heroism of the day. The emperor's mood at this time was obviously not good.

"Your Majesty, Yao Yuanchong, the Xia official waiter, asks to see you!" When Wu was worried, there was a sound of melancholy from outside the hall.

"Yao Yuanchong? Could it be that there is a change in military conditions? Wu came to the spirit, put away the emperor's emotions that should not be noticed by the world, restored his majesty, and commanded the courtier: "Lead it to the Xuanzheng Palace!" ”

Yao Yuanchong, that is, Yao Chong, the future Kaiyuan minister, has not changed his name. Yao Yuanchong has been in the office for more than 20 years, and by the end of last year, the official was only Xia Guanlangzhong, but his talent was known to the world and was very favored by Di Renjie.

and the Khitan rebellion, the erosion of western Liaoning, the turmoil in Hebei, the military reports came one after another, and the military affairs were heavy. As a result, he completely entered the eyes of the empress, was appreciated by the emperor, and promoted him to fill the vacancy as a Xia official waiter, specializing in Khitan and Jizhou rebellions.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Yao Yuan Chongzheng respectfully waited to see, he was in his forties, with a dignified posture, graceful demeanor, and a handsome uncle. Ministers with good looks and good temperament are always easy to get the favor of the emperor.

"Excuse me!" Entering the hall and waving his hand to avoid saluting, Wu asked directly: "Has there been a change in the front line?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Jizhou Flying Cavalry came to report that the main force of the rebels has been broken by the Governor of Yuanda!" Yao Yuanchong is not pretentious, he should come straight up, and there is joy between his eyebrows.

"Oh?" The empress was a little surprised: "Doesn't it mean that there are tens of thousands of traitors in Jizhou, and there are 100,000 people in various states and counties, and Yuanhui only has an army of Yulin and a few guards and government guards, and the enemy has been broken?" ”

"Although there are many traitors, but the bandits are attached to the ants, although the feather forest is outnumbered, it is the elite of the world, and there are the commanders of Jiujiang County, how can the rebellion be an opponent?" Yao Yuan Chongchaowu explained: "The military newspaper said that the governor of the Yuan Dynasty, the male of the forest, and the Hebei Yishi and the Khitan Yiqi, jointly attacked the rebels, and they were defeated at night for two days. Specifically, an envoy has been sent to Beijing to present a report! ”

"Good!" Hearing this, Wu couldn't help but stroke his palms and praise: "Yuan Hui, it really lives up to my trust!" ”

Seeing the emperor's face, Yao Yuanchong followed and said: "Jizhou is the source of this rebellion, the rebels are either killed or captured, the thieves are defeated, and the rest are scattered into the place, and it is difficult to make waves. Other states and counties are even more troublesome, just wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses of the imperial court to clean up the remaining thieves, then the place will be stable, and the people will be ...... Ningtai"

"Jizhou is established, go to me for a heart disease!" Taking a breath, Wu's mood calmed down, and he turned his head to look at the northeast: "I just don't know, what is the situation on Di Huaiying's side now." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, with Di Gong in Pingzhou, Sun Wanqi and those rebels, it will be difficult to make a difference!" Yao Yuanchong is also very confident in Di Fat.

"Also, Di Huaiying, I have never been disappointed!" The corners of his mouth flashed with a smile, and Wu said, but he didn't know if he couldn't help it.

With his hands behind his back, he paced a few steps in the hall, slowly ascended to the imperial case, and Wu Ti drafted an article on a blank book, and handed it to the waiter on the side of the palace: "Turn this system and Fengge Luan Tai, the evil ministers of the states of Hebei Province are guilty of rebellion, and people and gods are angry." Yuan Hui and Tang Fengyi arrested the remnants of the thieves, and used Wu Yizong, the king of Hanoi, to push the matter to him, and to leave any of the leaders of the giant beetle, and punished them with capital punishment......"

Yao Yuanchong was under him, and when he heard the emperor's mouth, his body was slightly tense, and his heart was shocked. Don't look at Wu to say it plainly, but what is contained in it is endless killing intent. This is going to be a strain again, Wu Yizong has a brutal temperament and cruel behavior, and he uses it to push the sheath, you can imagine what the result will be.

has the heart to speak, Yao Yuanchong did not open his mouth in the end, and the advice also depends on the situation, involving rebellion, or do not touch the emperor's backfire.

"You step down, pay more attention to the war in western Liaoning recently." In a blink of an eye, she caught a glimpse of Yao Yuanchong, who was pouting and waiting under the pier, and the empress waved her hand casually to signal him to retreat.

"Wechen retires!" Stabilizing his mind, Yao Yuanchong retreated with a salute, turned around, and sighed in his heart.

When the news came, the empress's mood naturally improved, and she saw that the sky and the earth were much brighter and vast. In a relaxed mood, a figure, without notification, recklessly broke into the palace, looked at the empress behind the imperial case, and called softly: "Your Majesty! ”

The person who came was a young man, who was even more handsome than Yuan Langjun, Fu fat powder, and his clothes were splendid, which was extremely lovely. Sweeping this beautiful appearance, Wu showed a kind smile on his face and beckoned to him: "It's Liulang!" Come, come to me. ”

In the imperial palace, the person who can call the emperor "Liulang" so affectionately is naturally the empress's new favorite Zhang Changzong. Since he was recommended to the palace last year, Wu loved him very much, and after half a year of time, he was more favored than Xue Huaiyi back then.

"Yes!" Smiling warmly at the empress, Zhang Changzong took elegant steps, walked up the steps, reached Wu's side, and held his arm: "I heard that Your Majesty is in the Divine Palace, and the ministers can't find it, Fang Xiao You are already in the Xuanzheng Palace, and I have come to meet the Holy ......."

"But it's tired Rokuro who is chasing!" Touching Zhang Liulang's prosperous beauty, Wu's eyes were full of love and pity, and his tone was extremely gentle: "Looking for me, what's the matter?" ”

In front of Wu, Zhang Changzong behaved very deferentially and seemed to enjoy the friction of the empress. Hearing this, the smile on his face completely bloomed, and he said to the empress: "Brother picks up the essence of rare treasures and practices it into a new medicine, which has the effect of emollient appearance." It has been tried by others, and the effect is very good, and His Majesty is specially invited to take a look at the control crane prison. ”

"Oh?" The empress became interested, stroked Zhang Liulang's face and smiled: "If Wulang and Liulang are so beautiful, do they still need something beautiful?" Take me to see ......"

"Yes!" Zhang Changzong smiled sweetly.
