After a year at the helm of the forbidden army, Xiao Sha looked more calm than before. For the past two days, he has been hesitating, not knowing whether to tell her or not? The emperor has his own reasons for hiding it from her, but he shouldn't hide it.

Seeing that his face was solemn and his expression was uncertain, she smiled, frowned and asked, "Xiao Xu, what do you know?" Those ministers,...... What are you talking about this time? ”

Xiao Xu was slightly stunned, she didn't expect her to ask about it directly, knowing that she couldn't do it now. His eyes sank slightly, and he said: "Several old ministers and masters are favored alone in the harem, which is a taboo for the country, and they have not been able to give birth to heirs for a year. ”

Manyao's face sank, and his gaze was instantly cold. No wonder Carefree suddenly said yesterday that it was time for them to have a baby! I see. The heir of an emperor is indeed related to the society, and she can't say anything about that. She bowed her head slightly and asked lightly, "What else did they say?" ”

"It is also said that the master and the concubine interfere in politics, disrupt the dynasty, and have obvious ambitions. There are even people who say that the master is a fine work placed here by the Northern Emperor, saying that your white """" Xiao Sha paused when he said this, and his always calm face had obvious anger.

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, and she also knew that it was nothing more than what she heard in the teahouse that day, saying that her innocence was because of demonic possession! Even the name of a spy can be used to talk about things, so why is there no excuse for the so-called crime of wanting to add? She turned and paced to the table, sat down slowly, sneered, and said, "Then what do they want?" Persuade me to enter the cold palace without worry, and then recruit concubines to enrich the harem? ”

Xiao Xu nodded and said, "What the master expected is not bad. They listed seven crimes for the master, and asked the emperor to send the master into the cold palace and then deal with it. The list of the Ministry of Rites has been drawn up, and a total of 120 women participating in the draft have been presented to the emperor, and it is recommended that a virtuous woman should be selected to be in charge of the harem. ”

Manyao's hands clenched slowly, his eyes were sharp, those people took the country as a name and sought personal interests for themselves, who didn't know what they thought? is nothing more than wanting to send his family into the palace to stabilize his position.

She lowered her eyes, pondered slightly, and said in a calm tone: "In that list, is there a recommended candidate for the queen?" ”

Xiao Xu said: "Yes, Prime Minister Sang's only daughter, Mulberry Duck." ”

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and after a while, she said lightly: "Well, I know." ”

Seeing that she was so calm, Xiao Xu felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Master, this matter"""

Man Yao raised his head and said calmly: "I promised to worry about it, and this matter will be handled by him." I believe in him. You go and get busy, I'll look for you again if you have something. ”

Xiao Xu had no choice but to retreat.

Man Yao tilted his head slightly, maintained that posture, looked at the white sky with his eyes, and sat quietly for a long time. As the wife of an emperor, these problems will have to be faced sooner or later. The emperor is destined to have three palaces and six courts, which is a rule that no one can change since ancient times. Even if he doesn't want to worry-free, his courtiers won't allow it, and she really can't interfere with this problem, just see how worry-free does it! She believes that he will not lose her, but in today's situation, internal and external troubles, in order to balance the court situation, the emperor sometimes can't help himself.

She exhaled heavily at the sky, stood up, put the books stacked on the table back on the shelf, and swept her eyes to the box on the upper floor that had been used to place the jade seal of the country, she raised her hand and moved the box inside, revealing a corner of white under the box, she made a move, and then pulled out the white paper.

Holding it in her hand, she was slightly stunned, and you Ran remembered that this seemed to be something that was given to her by her companion before the autumn hunt, and she could only see it after the autumn hunt. The white paper was neatly folded, and it seemed to be more than one sheet thick to the touch. And the outermost one looked like it was used to wrap the things inside, and she gently unfolded a corner, and now the paper inside was not as smooth as the outside, as if it had been rubbed by a wolf. She frowned, her fingertips resting on it, and pursed her lips slightly, but she still couldn't open her mouth

Putting the thing back in its place, she nested herself on the chaise longue, her heart was astringent, she slowly lowered her eyes, picked up the book on the side and looked at it, but she couldn't read a word.

The climate in the north is particularly dry compared to the humid air in the south.

The ironclad Yashi, who had won a great victory in the Northern Dynasty of the Lintian Kingdom, was blocked by heavy snow on the way back to the court, and the tents erected by hundreds of thousands of troops stretched for several miles.

Outside the handsome tent, a man in golden armor stood on the top of the snow-capped mountain with his hands behind his back, his face was cold, his expression was pale, and his eyes looked into the distance, looking at the distant and untouchable direction. The cold wind howled, blowing on his handsome face dyed with vicissitudes, and he didn't feel the pain like a knife. The armor on his body tinkled in the wind, and the temperature of his skin was like a corpse on the battlefield.

At the feet, the endless snow is vast, and the icy cold air spreads endlessly, penetrating into the bottom of people's hearts. And this person is the Northern Emperor's powerless. No planning, no planning, everything is in your hands. But he planned everything, but he still couldn't get what he wanted most.

"Your Majesty, the last general has complied with Your Majesty's will to open an exit on each side of the snow so that only one person can pass." A soldier knelt on one leg and handed over his hand.

The Northern Emperor Zongzheng retracted his gaze without a plan, his face was calm, and he said lightly: "Summoning all the generals back to the camp to discuss matters."

"The last will obey!"

In the tent, all the generals stood on both sides, their faces solemn, and when Zongzheng had no plan to enter the account, they all bowed and said: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Zong Zheng Wuji walked to the top and sat down, and said, "Excuse me." ”

The generals got up, he glanced at everyone, and Fang said in a deep voice: "The small country at the border took advantage of the fact that my army was outside, seized my city, and killed my people, which is really hateful!" General Lin, I ordered you to lead 20,000 horses to the left side of the snow road tonight and secretly go to the western border, and General Yang Emperor 20,000 horses to take the right side of the snow road to the east border. Our army is stopped by heavy snow, they must be negligent in their precautions, you lurk in the mountains during the day, march at night, and within ten days you must reach your destination, and at night, you will annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."

The two generals, Lin and Yang, immediately knelt down and said, "The last general is the order!" ”

Zong Zheng said without a plan: "Go down and prepare." ”

"Order." They withdrew from the camp, and a general came out of the ranks and said: "Your Majesty, it has been more than a year since the Southern Dynasty became independent, should we take advantage of the momentum of the army to wave our troops to the south and go straight to the Jiangdu, and not give them a chance to rest and recuperate?" “

Another general came out of the column and objected: "The last general thinks that it is impossible, after a year of rest, the power of the Southern Dynasties has been stabilized, and the officers and men of our army have been fighting for several months and are already tired, and the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasties are waiting for work, and it is the next policy to fight at this time." ”

Zong Zheng lifted his eyelids and glanced at the others. One of the advisors came out and said, "The last general thinks it is impossible." I heard that the Dust Wind Country has newly bred a group of good horses, and intends to find an alliance country after the beginning of spring. Our army is already short of war horses, and this expedition has caused countless injuries, so it is better to go back to Beijing to rest first, and after the beginning of spring, cooperate with the Dust Wind Country, buy war horses, and then go south. Moreover, His Majesty has been out of Beijing for a long time, and the affairs of the DPRK and China are probably already piling up, waiting for His Majesty to deal with them. ”

Zongzheng has no plan to turn his eyes slightly, war horse? Dustwind Country! He is not the only one who will go when the time comes! "Let's talk about it here today, and let's all step down."

The people withdrew, and he left the big tent alone. Walking to the table in front of the tent, looking at the thing on the table that was covered by a pitch-black cloth, his eyes gradually wandered, and the dazzling snow color appeared in front of him. There was a sudden pain in the bottom of his eyes, and his heart, which had been numb, still hurt as if he had been stabbed.

He reached out and lifted the black cloth, and under the black cloth was a small pot of flowers and plants. The transparent rhizome has jet-black leaves that look like trumpets closed, and there is only a small one.

When the sky is about to get dark, the leaves slowly open, like a blooming trumpet flower, and in the center of the dark leaves, three slender columns like silver needles are blood-red in color, as if they are longing for the moisture of blood donation.

He raised his hand slightly, and without hesitation, stretched out his index finger, and the flower pillar seemed to suddenly come to life, piercing straight into the skin of his fingertips, quickly stretching and opening on his hand, and the blood red expansion under the white skin, extremely domineering.

His face gradually turned pale, his heart was like an insect gnawing at him, and his chest rose and fell sharply, but he refused to even frown. His eyes were fixed on the transparent rhizomes of the flowers and plants, which slowly turned into a demonic blood red, and the jet-black leaves also revealed a dark red luster. The flower column that bloomed under his skin gradually withered back into the leaves, and he withdrew his hand, and the leaves closed again.

He looked at the small flowers and plants, a strange tenderness rippled in his dim eyes, and he looked down at his hands, which were bloodless and pale.

Five days later, the snow melted, and the army set camp.

Twelve days later, news of a great victory came from the eastern and western borders.

Zong Zheng led the army back to the court, and there was a jubilant scene in the northern court. At this time in the Southern Dynasty, the rumors about the imperial concubine were overflowing.

The air in the council hall was not only cold, but also a little heavy moon.

Zong Zheng Wuwu stared coldly at the folds handed over by the ministers in the early dynasty, those people were still biting those things, he wanted to deal with them later, but he didn't expect them to wait.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, General Xiang sent someone to play, and the new army barracks rioted!" Xiao Xiangzi, who was waiting in the council hall, looked nervous and knelt on the ground.

Zong Zhengwu's eyes were sharp, the fold in his hand slapped on the table, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Xiangzi was so frightened that his body trembled, and there was a cry in his throat, he didn't dare to say those words but had to say them. "Someone came to report, there were rumors in the barracks that the imperial concubine was a demon who brought disaster to the country, and I heard that General Xiang was the person who was the imperial concubine, and they did not obey General Xiang's control, and a fight started."

Zong Zheng squinted his phoenix eyes without worry, and the five fingers of his left hand were open and pressed on the fold behind the book, and with a slight force, the bright yellow fold carved the traces of the five fingers. He said expressionlessly: "It is rumored that the ministers have entered the palace to meet them." ”

Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly kowtowed and retreated, his head full of sweat.

In less than an hour, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Yimei Palace, kneeling down and waiting for the emperor's words, but above the high position, the emperor seemed to have forgotten their existence, and was reviewing the recitals one by one. The ministers secretly looked at each other in private, not knowing what the situation was.

Prime Minister Sang Cheng, who was kneeling in front of him, raised his head slightly, his shrewd eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the expressionless emperor, and his cold eyes without any emotional fluctuations made him unable to see the emperor's mind at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. The riot of the new army, and the fact that he can still review and play so calmly shows that this young emperor is not ordinary deep.

Zong Zheng read the last book without worry, put down the red pen, swept everyone with cold eyes, and the ministers were excited, busy gathering gods and waiting for orders.

Zongzheng glanced at Xiao Xiangzi, and Xiao Xiangzi understood, and hurriedly took the fold and handed it back to the ministers.

Zong Zheng leaned back without worry, and then said lazily: "After thinking about it for the past few days, I think that Aiqing's advice is not completely unreasonable. However, when the country was first established, it should focus on the people's livelihood, and the draft should be considered after regaining power in the capital. As for the poster", I heard that Sang Aiqing's daughter Sang Yang is both talented and beautiful, and she is a rare woman. It just so happened that in the past few days, the imperial concubine always said that there was no one to talk to her, so it was better to let Sang Yang enter the palace to be her companion for a few days, I don't know if Sang Aiqing is willing to do it? ”

Prime Minister Sang Cheng's face was overjoyed, and he smiled busily: "The emperor and the imperial concubine are very affectionate, and it is a blessing for the little girl to be able to enter the palace to accompany her, and the old minister bows to thank the emperor!" ”

Zong Zheng raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Then do it." Stand down.

Everyone withdrew, and Zongzheng shouted without worry: "Leng Yan.!" ”

Leng Yan appeared and listened to his orders.

Zong Zheng said worry-free: "Ask Xiao Ke to come over." Leng Yan received the order, and Zongzheng added in a deep voice: "Don't let the land know." Leng Yan was stunned for a moment, and naturally knew who this "she" was referring to.

Recently, some relatives have reacted to the flat plot, and they have always thought that they want to see the warm drama, and it seems that everyone still likes to watch more intense. In the past two days, I've been thinking about whether to overhaul these chapters, and if it does, it may stop for a few more days, and the plot of the white queen will be completely rewritten. Tomorrow I will see the feedback of my relatives, and I need to think about it. The storyline of the latter part of this article is very exciting, and I don't want to affect the excitement of the whole text because the middle part is not absorbed.
