General Zuo Qianniuwei and Zhou Zhuocheng, the envoy of the Hongzhou Army, came to Li Yu's palace gate early in the morning.

Li Yu has ignored him.

This man had been kneeling outside the palace for three hours.

The unstoppable envoys and generals on the outside are as supple as a kitten in front of the majesty of the emperor.

Li Yu wrote the Heart Sutra in the palace.

"Revealing the truth, revealing the truth, revealing the truth, revealing the truth of the Polo monk, revealing the truth of the Bodhisattva Bha, ...... Bodhisattva"

After the tenth time the Heart Sutra was written, he raised his head.

Li Yu would only do this when he couldn't suppress his anger.

"Your Majesty, the sun is already in the west, do you want Zhou Zhuocheng to come in?"

Liang Wucheng cautiously prompted.

"Are you urging me?" Li Yu glared at Liang Wucheng.

Hundreds of years later, an Italian political philosopher named Machiavelli summed up a very important thing:

As a monarch, it is not so important for everyone to love and respect.

If you have to choose one or the other, it may be a better choice to make others afraid of you.

"The minions don't dare." Liang Wucheng hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Get up," Li Yu asked, "Is Xia Zhaorong here?" ”

"Come, talk in the queen's palace."

"Go and invite both the queen and Zhaorong over."

Zhaorong is a concubine and a subordinate, and he can be announced.

The queen can only be invited, there is no polygamy in China, only the queen and the emperor are husband and wife, and the other women are all concubines.

Liang Wucheng went over to ask Empress Zhou Ehuang.

After a while, Xiao Gui accompanied Emperor Zhou E to Li Yu.

"Seonhan Hee-jae and Seo Hyun come in."

"Let Zhou Zhuocheng roll in for me!"

Han Xizai and Xu Xuan stood in the hall, Zhou Zhuocheng knelt down in the courtyard, kneeled to the bottom of the steps, he took off his official hat early in the morning, and he looked embarrassed.

Li Yu went out with a whip.

The queen and Xiaogui both followed behind and walked to the door.

Li Yu kicked Zhou Zhuocheng to the ground with one kick.

Without a single scolding, he just kicked the man in the stomach and back.

"The minister is guilty! Damn it! ”

After all, the Southern Tang Dynasty was still a relatively civilized dynasty, unlike those who write novels today, who make the princess kneel for three days at every turn, and tie them to windmills and ceiling fans.

Using a whip is Li Yu's ultimate.

A whip passed, and Zhou Zhuocheng's face was bloody.

"Hide?"

"Don't dare!"

Zhou Zhuocheng hurriedly prostrated down and saluted, and raised his head again.

Li Yu gave him a few more lashes.

This anger slowly went down, Xiaogui hurriedly moved a chair, and the emperor sat down and looked at Zhou Zhuocheng at the bottom of the stairs.

"Who told you to go to Dragon Tiger Mountain? The eldest princess? ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, it is the minister's own opinion."

"Self-assertive?"

"The minister received information that Longhu Mountain harbored anti-thieves, and that the minister was a military town in Hongzhou, and Longhu Mountain was under the jurisdiction of the minister, so he led the troops to inquire about Zhang Tianshi, but he didn't expect to meet the anti-thief Xu Jin."

"I have pardoned the Xu family, you won't know it."

"The minister sent troops to Longhu Mountain in front, and after receiving the will to rehabilitate, and now Xu Jin killed people and set fire to Longhu Mountain and burned the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the minister thought that he could no longer be pardoned."

"Hell, no matter how high Xu Jin's martial arts are, it's still possible to kill a few people, if you take 3,000 soldiers, you can't prevent him from setting fire?" Li Yu knew it in his heart.

"Longhu Mountain was burned, the minister is guilty, and the minister is willing to be punished."

"Zhou Zhuocheng, you really protect Li Forsythia."

"Back to Your Majesty, the eldest princess is a member of the Tang Dynasty, and it is Your Majesty's Tianwei who protects her."

"It's true, now the Northern Dynasty has sent a decree to hold us accountable, saying that the mansion of Zhang Tianshi, the real person who protects the country, what do you say should be done?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is a martial artist, and the minister of diplomacy doesn't understand, but if you want to use Zhou Zhuocheng's head, the minister will never complain."

Xiao Gui watched the scene quietly.

Is Li Yu angry?

Of course.

To whom?

Forsythia lee.

beat Zhou Zhuocheng, but it was actually Li Lianqiao.

Zhou Zhuocheng insisted that he was making his own opinion, so he couldn't announce Li Lianqiao to confront him.

But you can't kill the Hongzhou Jiedu envoy and kill your own general just because you burned a few houses, that can only make the other party happy.

Xiaogui understood that Li Yu looked impulsive, but in fact, he was very civilized, every time he started and every word he spoke, he was measured and accurate.

hit Zhou Zhuocheng and called himself to come and see.

If it was an ordinary woman, I was afraid that I would be grateful, "Your Majesty, you are angry for the concubine's master!" ”

Since then, he has been loyal to Li Yu.

But Xiaogui has experienced so many things, and he has a thought in his heart.

One of the things that is particularly important about living in the court is to ask yourself how old you are.

Li Yu beat Zhou Zhuocheng, was it for Xia Xiaogui?

No, how old is Xia Xiaogui?

So who is he for?

First of all, it is Chai Rong's anger, Li Yu must consider it, after all, he, the emperor, is an emperor who works behind closed doors.

Secondly, if Longhu Mountain is burned, the monks will be in an uproar.

"Let me see, there may be a intention to buy me, but more importantly, it is to use my connection with Longhu Mountain." Xiaogui figured it out at once.

Li Yu really thinks so.

Xiaogui is a registered disciple of Longhu Mountain, Li Yu knows.

It is not difficult for Xiaogui to contact Longhu Mountain, Li Yu understands this.

As long as Xiaogui is willing to come forward and obtain Zhang Tianshi's understanding, this matter will be much easier.

"Your Majesty wants me to pass on the word and tell the Emperor of the Great Zhou that he is very well-behaved and personally punished Zhou Zhuocheng." Xia Xiaogui saw through it.

The sign of a person's maturity is to see through it without saying it.

Xiaogui looked at Lord Han Xizai and thought of his words at the night banquet:

The Emperor scares me, I know he's scaring me, and the Emperor knows I know he's scaring me.

I see you're acting, you can see I'm acting.

Don't break it with each other.

Since ancient times, listening to the reasoning of masters is learning, but only by seeing cases vividly to confirm them can we remember them and use them well.

Li Yu began to send Zhou Zhuocheng:

"You don't know what to do, you misbelieve in the information, Qianniuwei has been cut off from the rank of general, and you are still the envoy of the Hongzhou Military Festival, and you have made meritorious service for your crimes to see the aftermath."

"How clever!" Xiao Gui sighed secretly in his heart, "Violent beatings are violent beatings, they are all flesh wounds, but with such a characterization of misbelieving in intelligence, Zhou Zhuocheng has no big crime." As for cutting off the honorary title of a thousand cows, it is nothing more than a little less, and it is not a problem for Zhou Zhuocheng. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Zhuocheng crouched underground to thank him.

"We must send an envoy to the Northern Dynasty to plead guilty."

Li Yu groaned.

"Han Aiqing, who do you think is appropriate?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu often handles foreign affairs, and his image and temperament are elegant, and he is knowledgeable, so he can take on this role."

"Seo Hyun, are you willing to go?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go."

"Han Aiqing, you draft an edict and ask Emperor Chai for guilt, and Xu Aiqing is ready to send an envoy."

"Yes."

"But Seo Hyun alone is not enough."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"I also need someone, I hope this person is loyal enough, and perceptive enough to be my eyes, to see the situation of Bianliang, and at the same time, this person shows the charm and beauty of my Datang......"

"The minister risked his death!"

Zhou Zhuocheng, who had just put on his hat, lay on the ground and said.

"What are you going to say?" Li Yu said angrily.

"I think that the eldest princess of Yongning, Li Lianqiao, is wise and beautiful, and she is peerless, and she can take on this important responsibility!"

Li Yu saw a juju at his feet, kicked it over, and hit Zhou Zhuocheng in the face.

"Get out!"

Zhou Zhuocheng hurriedly retreated.

"Xia Zhaorong," Li Yu walked over, "I want you to go with Master Xu." ”

"I ...... Go to the ......"

"You are a northerner, and you grew up in Jiangnan, you are now my Zhaorong in terms of status, your status is not low, and you are still a disciple of Longhu Mountain, send you to apologize, even if Chai Rong finds fault again, there will be no reason."

And so it was!

Li Yu had already settled this matter.

"Go down, all of you." Li Yu waved his hand, and Han Xuanzai, Xu Xuan, and Zhou Zhuocheng retreated.

Seeing them gone, Xiaogui asked softly:

"Isn't Your Majesty afraid that I will escape and never come back?"

"Of course not, your enemy is still in my Tang court, and you will come back to deal with her."

"Then Your Majesty is not afraid that Xiaogui will report to the Northern Dynasty, which will be unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty?"

"You're a righteous and chivalrous woman, you won't do that."

"Your Majesty has praised it."

"I'm not praising you or flattering you, Xia Xiaogui, I can see your character very clearly, you have wisdom, you are planning revenge, but you know the size and scale, you don't hate me, you don't hate the queen, on the contrary, you like us."

"If the Northern Dynasty wants to destroy our Tang Dynasty, with our current strength, we can only let others slaughter it."

"But there is a big problem with the Northern Dynasties, that is, their emperor changes every ten years, and all kinds of betrayals, diseases, and wars may make their political situation unstable, and this is the chance for the Tang Dynasty to survive." Li Yu said.

"I want you to see Chai Rong's physical condition," Li Yu approached Xiaogui and said softly, "Then you can walk around Bianliang, and if you are willing to meet your senior brother, or your grandfather, you can give you the right to act cheaply." ”

"What an attractive condition."

"You are not a caged bird, and I will not keep you or keep you. You won't help me hurt anyone, but I also know that you will never do anything bad for me. Li Yu said to Xiaogui.

"Your Majesty believes in me too much."

"It's not just Your Majesty," Emperor Zhou E walked over and took Xiao Gui's hand, "and me." ”

"Xiaogui, the lives of our family of three are entrusted to you." Li Yu said.

"A family of three?"

Xiao Gui looked at Li Yu and Zhou Ehuang.

"Xiong Shihai's pulse was confirmed today, and it's been almost three months."

The queen looked at Li Yu with a happy face, and Li Yu gently stroked her abdomen.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Queen Mother."

Xiaogui knelt down and said hello.

"Hurry up, I hope that when this child grows up, sister, you can teach him swordsmanship, can you?" Zhou Ehuang's eyes were quite sincere.

"The concubine obeys!"

"Xiaogui, let's have dinner together, besides, don't leave tonight."

"Huh?"

"The queen is not feeling well, you can come to bed tonight."

“……”

"What's wrong? Lingzhaorong's Yulu, don't you work? ”

"Concubine...... Shane! ”

Liang Wucheng invited Xiaogui aside and whispered to her about the precautions for sleeping, which was actually Li Yu's living habits, and Xiaogui secretly wrote it down.

"It's a job, a job." Xiaogui told himself.

But in his heart, Xiaogui was also muttering about one thing.

Li Yu said that he would not touch a man's body himself, but he said that he liked himself.

So what's going on tonight? Does Li Yu have requirements for his body?

"It doesn't matter, he's going to do something I don't like, I'll just walk as soon as I stomp my foot into the room." Xiaogui secretly persuaded himself.

Tonight's meal is very preoccupied.

But the queen has been happily persuading Xiaogui to drink.

"Oops, isn't it at Li Yu's mercy when you're drunk?"

But today's osmanthus sweet wine is very good, it doesn't taste spicy at all, it's warm and moist.

After a while, Xiaogui felt a little dizzy.

"It's okay, sister."

The queen asked with a concerned expression.

"It's okay, where is this, don't be afraid, Queen Mother, I'm a Northwest girl, I can drink ......"

Hard mouth.

Her feet began to go limp.

I don't think it's good.

"I seem to have been calculated by these two people."

In an instant, blood surged above his head, and the dead parents, the gangs of horse thieves, the burned Lin Quanzhen, the flames on the master and the mother, and the necromantic servants who exuded cold air flashed in their minds.

Finally, she saw Xu Yongzhi's back, and she shouted loudly, "Hey! Ay! ”

Xu Yongzhi didn't look back and replied to her: "I'm here." ”

Xia Xiaogui was suddenly dragged back to reality and woke up.

Next to her was Li Yu, she explored and explored, her skin was smooth and clean, and it was obvious that a palace maid had washed her.

There were no additional wounds, and there was no dull pain anywhere except the sides of the temples.

"What did you dream about?" Li Yu asked her.

Xiaogui grabbed the clothes on Li Yu's chest and cried softly.

"I've shown you my weakness." Xiaogui said while crying.

"I did it on purpose." Li Yu said.

"But you didn't do anything to me." Xiaogui said.

"There are many women who can sleep with me, but there are only a few who can make friends with me." Li Yu said.

"Is it Forsythia?" Xiao Gui asked suddenly.

"I know you hate her, but she's really an amazing woman, fascinating." Li Yu said.

"You men are going to be eaten by this kind of woman, aren't you?" Xiaogui asked.

"Others may be decided, but I don't." Li Yu said.

"She's done so many bad things, and you're pampering her." Xiaogui said.

"I'm not conniving at her, she's still of great use to me." Li Yu said.

"What's the use?"

"I still need her to help defend my country."

"I can also defend your country." Xiao Gui suddenly hooked his neck and stared into his eyes.

"Don't do this kind of adult thing, you can't learn." Li Yu said disgustedly.

"Sure enough, you don't think I'm attractive." Xiaogui sighed.

"No, your charm is not here, you know how to seduce men, have you heard anyone talk about it in class? But your set has not been practiced at all, and you are stupid. Li Yu said.

“……”

"I have another very important matter, I have to go to the eldest princess, this matter may be a little more important than defending my country, you will naturally know in the future." Li Yu said, "Sleep now." ”

"If it's just sleeping, why should I stay with you?" Xiaogui still felt a little strange.

"If you don't serve Zhaoyi and seal Zhaoyi, I'm afraid there will be other people in the harem who have opinions."

"Aren't you just trying your best to get me a promotion and a raise?"

"What, can't you?" Li Yu's tone was very proud, "I like it." ”

"Besides, this time I went north, I really asked you."

Li Yu put his hand on Xiaogui's waist.

Xiaogui's skin is very good.

"Like satin, I sleep soundly when I touch it."

Li Yu fell asleep.

Xiao Gui gently pushed his hand down, but helped him cover the quilt again.

What a headache, but completely hateful man.
