Sure enough, as Li Guanqi expected, Empress Dowager You was still angry, thinking that Li Xiuxin was threatening her under the pretext of becoming a monk, so she didn't think about it, so she made a decree, "If she wants to become a monk, let her go out, whoever stops her, mourns her family and cures her crime!" ”

So, the eldest princess of Xianning, Li Xiu, became a nun with hair cultivation as she wished.

Originally, even if the royal princess wanted to become a monk, she just changed the name of the palace where she originally lived, and people actually still lived in the palace, even the palace maids and eunuchs who served generally did not change. But Li Xiuxin had to move out of the palace. Li Guanqi had no way out, so he had to pay out of his own pocket and build a Buddhist nunnery in the Purple Mountain.

This address was actually chosen by Li Xiuxin, because it was closer to the Armor Research Institute, and to put it bluntly, it was more convenient to meet Zhao Zheng. Li Guanqi simply sent the Buddha to the west, and the good man did it to the end, and handed over the errand of the supervision of this Buddha nunnery directly to Zhao Zheng, "The nunnery is at the foot of the Purple Mountain, close to the Armor Research Institute, and it is usually ...... Take care of me a little more. ”

"Yes! The minister will do his best. Zhao Zheng replied in a deep voice, he was still sad about Li Xiuxin's renunciation.

Li Guanqi saw that he had to make a little bit of a touch with this buddy, so he continued: "Xiuxin is my own sister, from today on, I will hand her over to you, I hope you treat my sister well......"

Xiao Ying, who was following behind Li Guanqi, almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard it, Li Guanqi's words, Li Guanqi was the same as what Liu Shui said when he gave the marriage book at the banquet that day......

With Li Guanqi's almost naked support, coupled with the fact that Zhao Zheng and Li Xiuxin already have a good impression of each other, and now they are close to the water and get the first month, and they come and go, and this relationship is heating up rapidly. Seeing that it couldn't go on like this, Li Xiuxin was very neat and vulgar. And after being vulgar, he did not return to the palace, but lived in a large mansion, and the new owner of this mansion was Zhao Zheng.

At this time, Empress Dowager You couldn't sit still. She hurriedly sent Qin Fengwu, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, to Qinzheng Hall to invite Li Guanqi to come over and discuss how to deal with this matter.

Qin Fengwu had just walked outside the door of the Qinzheng Palace, and before he could be reported, he heard a "bang" inside. It seemed that something had been broken, and then Li Guanqi's roaring voice came out, "Bastard! I'm so angry! ”

Qin Fengwu was stunned, daring to love the emperor is angry with Zhao Zheng, this is easy to do, the queen mother is also angry with Zhao Zheng, now the queen mother and the emperor have the same heart, the eldest princess has to honestly break her heart with Zhao Zheng?

Qin Fengwu was thinking wildly, but he heard Yue'er's voice coming from inside. "What's wrong, Your Majesty is so atmospheric? What if you get angry and break the dragon body? ”

"What's the matter?" Li Guanqi's angry voice came out again, "Zhao Zheng, this stinky boy, unexpectedly, dared to seduce my sister, and now, now the eldest princess has secretly married me, and sent someone to hand me a note." Let me go and ask the Queen Mother to agree to the marriage of the two of them! ”

Qin Fengwu outside the door heard it. One stumbled, his head slammed against the window, but he didn't dare to say a word, just covered his head and continued to listen. I heard Yue'er continue: "The concubine looks at that Zhao Gongzi is also a talent, and he is a good match for the eldest princess, why don't Your Majesty push the boat with the water." What about the two of them? ”

"Fulfill them? This Zhao Zheng is so bold! The eldest princess of the royal family also dares to seduce, how can I spare him? I'm going to kill him alive! Li Guanqi continued to roar.

"Your Majesty killed Zhao Zheng, what should the eldest princess do?" Yue'er's tone was full of nervousness.

"She?" Li Guanqi said coldly, "She is a royal princess. is a nun who is a monk again, and she has no shame in doing such an ugly thing, and she has lost all her royal face. He still has the face to ask me to help him beg the Queen Mother? I can reply to her now with a three-foot white silk! ”

"Huh? Your Majesty, no! If the eldest princess is killed, the queen mother will definitely be heartbroken, isn't it a loss of filial piety with the emperor? Yue'er replied hurriedly.

"Therefore, this matter must not be known to the Queen Mother!" Li Guanqi said coldly.

Qin Fengwu couldn't listen to it anymore when he heard this, he turned around sharply and ran towards Cining Palace step by step.

"Your Majesty still has to think twice!"

"I've made up my mind!"

In the room, Li Guanqi and Yue'er were still talking word by word, and suddenly there was a light cough outside the door, He Ziming pushed open the door with a smile on his face and walked in, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, he has already left, no need to play again!" ”

Yue'er took a long breath when she heard this, sat down on the chair, and said with a smile, "Oh, you don't know, my nervous sweat is coming out!" ”

Li Guanqi laughed, took a sip of the tea on the dragon book case, and said, "This is not good?" Then what will the Queen Mother do when she comes?"

Yue'er wiped the fine sweat on her face and said with a smile: "Then it's not for the concubine to worry about, anyway, there is Your Majesty!" ”

After listening to Qin Fengwu's report, Empress Dowager You could no longer sit in Cining Palace. She only knew that her daughter should not return to the palace, but she didn't expect that she was pregnant, although what she was most worried about still happened, but Li Xiuxin is her biological daughter, blood is thicker than water, she secretly blames Li Xiuxin in her heart, but more as a mother's love.

Therefore, as soon as she heard that Li Guanqi was going to kill Zhao Zheng and Li Xiuxin, Empress Dowager You did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately ordered to set up the palace of diligence. Because she has already figured it out: first, her daughter Li Xiuxin is determined to be with that cloth boy Zhao Zheng, otherwise she wouldn't even be pregnant with the child; Second, if he didn't rush over in time, Li Guanqi might really kill this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks in order to maintain the royal face.

So, Empress Dowager You finally decided: knock out the teeth and swallow the blood, endure it! As long as his baby daughter and grandson or granddaughter are fine, that Zhao Zheng is not unacceptable.

Li Guanqi had already expected Empress Dowager You's reaction, so when he heard the eunuchs' announcement that "the Empress Dowager has arrived", he deliberately pretended to be surprised and ran out and said, "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly come to the Qinzheng Palace?" Is there anything that can be done by sending someone to call my son over? ”

"Say it inside!" Empress Dowager You said eagerly with a frosty face.

"Ahh Good! The expression on Li Guanqi's face was very well done, and he followed the Empress Dowager You into the hall, and waved his hand very cooperatively to retreat the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the palace.

Empress Dowager You said anxiously: "You want to give death Xiu's heart, right?" ”

Li Guanqi's face was startled at first, and then he showed faint anger, and said in a deep voice: "Who did the queen mother listen to?" ”

"You don't care who your mother listens to. You just say, don't you? Empress Dowager You's face was full of eager expressions.

Li Guanqi hung his head, avoiding Empress Dowager You's gaze. said slowly: "She did something that she shouldn't have done, for the sake of royal face, her son had to do it!" ”

"Is that true?" Empress Dowager You's tone was already crying.

"It's true!" Li Guanqi also nodded with a heavy expression on his face.

"She's your sister! Dear sister! Empress Dowager You cried and said, "How can you be so ruthless? ”

The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth twitched a few times, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "Queen Mother." I also feel uncomfortable, just as reluctant to sister. But. But do you know that she is actually pregnant with Zhao Zheng's child, and she is still a big girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet! This kind of thing, even if it is placed in the people, it is also necessary to dip in the pig cage, not to mention our royal family? Spread out, how's it going? ”

"Hasn't it been spread yet? We can think of a remedy! Empress Dowager You stomped her feet and said.

"How can I remedy it?" Li Guanqi said in a deep voice, "Looking for a side medicine to beat the child?" But who can guarantee that this won't get out? ”

"Oops! Amitabha, sin, sin! "Empress Dowager You chanted the Buddha in a loud voice." Children can't fight, that's also our royal blood!" Although the Empress Dowager You is young, as she becomes more and more accustomed to the identity of the Queen Mother, she also begins to desperately want to hold her grandchildren, but Li Guanqi and He Bijun just didn't move, which made her desire more and more eager, and now I finally heard that Li Xiu was pregnant, how could she let this child have an accident again?

"Since the child can't fight. So what should she do if her belly gets bigger day by day? Li Guanqi said annoyedly.

"You can let her get married! became a parent and had another child. Isn't that just a matter of course? Empress Dowager You said her idea.

"Married? Could she be willing? Li Guanqi asked with a puzzled expression, but then gritted his teeth and said, "Now that the matter is over, it doesn't matter whether she wants to or not." I will execute Zhao Zheng first! ”

"Zhao Zheng can't be killed!" Empress Dowager You said hurriedly.

"Why?" Li Guanqi turned around and asked suspiciously.

Empress Dowager You wiped her tears and said, "If you kill Zhao Zheng, won't Xiuxin's child become a fatherless child?" How pitiful! ”

"But if you don't kill Zhao Zheng, how can my sister marry someone else?" Li Guanqi asked seriously.

Empress Dowager You stopped her tears. said: "Who said that Xiuxin must marry someone else? She can marry Zhao Zheng! ”

"Marry Zhao Zheng?" Li Guanqi's face was full of exaggerated surprise, "Didn't the queen mother disagree with her sister marrying Zhao Zheng?" Besides, Zhao is the one who will never be used, how can the eldest princess marry a cloth cloth? ”

"When Xiuxin became a monk, hasn't her title of the eldest princess of Xianning been withdrawn by you? She is now an ordinary woman without a title. Although Zhao Zheng is cloth, he is also both civil and military, a talent, and Xiuxin is just the right match! At this time, in order to protect her daughter and grandson, Empress Dowager You began to strongly agree with the combination of Zhao Zheng and Li Xiuxin.

Li Guanqi pretended to be deep in thought, and only after a while did he say: "What the queen mother said is good. The two of them are in love with each other, and they are both cloth clothes, if the two of them want to get married, although I am the emperor, I can't control it! ”

"That's it!" Seeing that she had "successfully persuaded" Li Guanqi, Empress Dowager You immediately cried with joy, "Since you have already thought of a countermeasure, quickly send someone to tell the two of them secretly, so that the two of them can get married quickly, lest Xiuxin's belly gradually grow and cannot be hidden!" ”

"The son obeys the mother's will!" Li Guanqi bowed down and said, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a smug smile. Naturally, he wanted to go to Zhao Zheng and Li Xiuxin to deliver the letter, but this messenger asked him to be the messenger himself, because he also had to tell the two of them one thing by the way - hurry up and make people, otherwise if the Queen Mother finds out that Li Xiuxin is not pregnant at all, there will be a lot of trouble.

……………………………………………………………………………

The first lieutenant training camp of the Royal Military Academy ended, and to everyone's surprise, these people did not all return to their original units. Instead, after the end of the intensive training, a comprehensive competition was conducted in terms of strategy, martial arts, and military exercises, and finally 500 winners were selected, some of whom were assigned to the 12 Beijing Divisions and some to the border army.

The other half of those who were defeated in the competition did not return to their original units, but were left behind at the Royal Military Academy to continue to participate in the second phase of the lieutenant training camp, because the selection of personnel for the second phase had already begun a month before the graduation of the first batch of cadets. According to the news from a eunuch who served beside the principal Li Guanqi, if the two training camps failed to enter the winning camp, those over the age of 45 would be directly dismissed from their posts and the people, and those over the age of 45 would be transferred to the Xiangjun with a downgrade!

When the commanders of each town found out that the emperor was "drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle", their second batch of outstanding officers had already come to the Royal Military Academy to start reporting.

Immediately afterwards, the Privy Council was established, and Xu Quan, the former squire of the Ministry of War, served as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

"The Holy Lord is finally going to attack the army!" All people with political sense are already aware of this.

Sure enough, not long after the establishment of the Privy Council, a paper reorganization order was sent to the provincial commanders with an expedited order of 800 miles.

According to the reorganization order: the imperial court will gradually reorganize the soldiers and horses of each province, the same as the 12 guards of the Beijing Division, with 10 people as a tithe, 5 tithes as a team, five teams as a song, five qu as a battalion, five battalions as a brigade, and two brigades as a guard, with a commander general. The first batch of reorganization was Shannan Province and Jiannan Province, and after the reorganization of Shannan Province, the six guards and horses were retained; After the reorganization of Jiannan Road, the eight guards and horses were retained.

"What kind of TMD is this? This is clearly disarmament! It's to cut my military power! Chen Guangxi said angrily while tearing the reorganization order to shreds.

"Prepare the horses, I'm going to Shannan!" After Li Moran sent off the messengers, he gave an order with a calm face.

Among the Beijing divisions, Li Guanqi stood in front of the Xuanzheng Hall and looked west. The last touch of sunset in the western sky has melted into the dark twilight, the sky is gradually darkening, the twilight is getting thicker, and the earth is chaotic and confused......
