Although Concubine Qi was punished, Tang Feng didn't feel very happy in her heart. She remembered the last look His Majesty had given her, and she couldn't tell what it meant, but it made her wary. In the final analysis, maybe in His Majesty's heart, Concubine Qi is not the kind of person who makes something out of nothing, even if she wants to bring down Tang Feng, she will definitely not make up a lie that will be easily exposed.

It's just that His Majesty still punished Concubine Qi in the end, because on the bright side, it was indeed her palace maid who falsely accused the imperial concubine, which can't be shaken off.

"Xu Zhong, let Qin Fang go and check whether the imperial concubine has left the palace or not, and if she doesn't leave the palace, why does Concubine Qi think she has gone out." In the end, Emperor Xu Kangdi was scheming, even if he disposed of Concubine Qi and the palace people, he still kept a hand.

Xu Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Yes, the slave obeys the order." ”

The next day, the news that Concubine Qi was stripped of her title soon spread out of the palace, and the Qi family found a way to contact Concubine Qi, who was grounded, and asked why she angered His Majesty. Concubine Qi took a little trouble to reply to her family, she didn't dare to write too much so as not to be intercepted halfway, but just wrote a "soup word" on the paper. ”

In this way, the Qi family understands that it is the ghost of the imperial concubine again. It seems that as long as she is there for a day, Concubine Qi will not be able to get attention from His Majesty. The Qi family's move of sending their daughter into the palace was scrapped after all.

The storm in the palace had just subsided, but the flames of war were burning in the east.

This time it was King Qing who reversed.

When Xu Hua first entered Beijing, he once reported to Emperor Xu Kang, mentioning the matter of King Qing's troops in the fiefdom. Emperor Xu Kang naturally did not sit idly by, and he took this opportunity to issue an edict to take back the military command of the feudal king over the fief. He thought that King Qing would understand his intentions, but he didn't expect that it was the process of quickly catalyzing King Qing's army.

Naturally, the army must also have a name, and you can't call yourself a rebel and a thief. Therefore, King Qing sent a letter to the world, saying that His Majesty was deceived by the adulterous concubine, and he started his army today on the side of the Qing monarch.

"What a Qingjun side!" Xu Kangdi angrily threw his song to the ground, disgusted by King Qing's betrayal, and said, "Who am I favoring and asking him to point fingers?" Isn't it just coveting the throne, and dare to say it so high-sounding! ”

After venting his anger, Emperor Xu Kang summoned several generals and various ministers, and he wanted to exterminate King Qing's rebels in one fell swoop.

However, the imperial court is now using troops against the Xining State in the north, and the grain, grass and troops are tilting to the west, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to deal with the rebels of King Qing.

"He is only 50,000 horses, and the total number of troops marching to Taiwan in the four realms is 200,000, excluding the 50,000 people who are fighting with Xining in the western realm, there are still 150,000, can't these 150,000 fight 50,000?" Xu Kangdi sneered.

The head of the household department handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury has limited money, and I am afraid it is not enough to support the war between the two places at the same time. ”

"You count and report it, and if it's not enough, fill it in with my private library." Xu Kangdi moved really this time. It is understandable that Xining is arguing with him, there is naturally a competitive relationship between the two countries, but King Qing, who has grown in his eyelids, dares to shout for Qingjun's side, no wonder he is ruthless.

"I want to see if his rabble can make any waves!"

Two days later, Emperor Xu Kang personally named the second son of Tang Guogong as the general of Huwei, and led 50,000 horses to the battlefield. Emperor Xu Kangdi was very confident in this battle, he had always paid attention to the cultivation of force, and the army temporarily assembled by King Qing was vulnerable to his first-class soldiers.

This battle lasted for two months.

Soon it was Xu Kangdi's Halloween Day, and this year there were wars in two places, and many people were displaced, and Xu Kangdi was not in the mood to make a big deal. However, some courtiers wrote to him, saying that the more critical the time, the more important it is to show the demeanor of the court, and not let the Xining army and rebels underestimate it.

Xu Kangdi thought about it, and it made sense. If his birthday banquet is held as usual, it can at least prove to the world that he does not take these two miscellaneous things seriously, and he is still the king who can control the overall situation.

"Do!" Final word.

On the day of the Wanshou Festival, the palace was lit up with lights, and the palace people flowed endlessly.

Tang Feng stood in front of a one-person-high floor-to-ceiling mirror, his expression was not as relaxed as before. She also heard the news recently, and Xu Kangdi's birthday at this time naturally had his intention to deter the rebels. But what of the money that is spent like a stream of money does not come from the people? Will they understand the Son of Heaven's intentions as they are in the midst of war? If it were her, I'm afraid I would have hated it a long time ago.

She turned her head to look out the window, the sun was shining, but she smelled the smell of dirt and fish. She always had a magical premonition that even she couldn't explain where she came from.

The ministers and wives still happily entered the palace to celebrate their birthdays, and even if there was anything unhappy about such a day, they had to endure it, otherwise they would be targeted by the emperor who had been angry recently, and they would have to walk in and lie down and go out.

The imperial concubine still attended with Xu Kangdi, no matter how strong the wind and waves outside, it seemed that she couldn't get wet for half a minute, she took Xu Kangdi's hand and walked into the hall, and all those who wanted to see her jokes became daydreams.

Staggered, singing and dancing.

"This cup of wine is a tribute to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty have a healthy body and be free from illness and disaster." Tang Feng picked up his wine cup and winked at Xu Kangdi, there was another touching playfulness in addition to the infinite style.

Ai Concubine toasted, and Xu Kangdi naturally drank refreshed. After this cup, there were constantly courtiers toasting, and Xu Kangdi also drank them happily one by one.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Fenshui has enshrined a strange stone, today is the day of Your Majesty's birthday, why don't you please come out and let the ministers open their eyes?" After King Lu toasted, he did not return to his position and sit down.

Emperor Xu Kangdi remembered that a few days ago he did worship a strange stone from Fenshui, when he was busy with the front-line war and had no time to take care of it, and today he remembered it after King Lu mentioned it.

"You're well-informed, I haven't seen it yet, but you're eyeing it to see the excitement." Xu Kangdi smiled and satisfied him, "It's okay, then bring it out and everyone will open their eyes together!" ”

The strange stone weighed about 200 catties, and it took six strong eunuchs to move it.

The song and dance retreated, and the middle spot was given to the strange stone covered with a red cloth.

"Since it is a strange stone, it must have spirituality, why don't you ask Your Majesty to uncover the red cloth himself?" Xu Hua proposed, "First, I pray that the strange stone can bring good luck and help me calm the war in Daxia as soon as possible, and secondly, this red cloth is covered, and the person who uncovers this red cloth must have enough status to achieve the effect of achieving the effect of making his wishes come true!" ”

Tang Feng glanced at him, the old fox has always been a sycophant, and he doesn't know what he is selling. It's just that Emperor Xu Kangdi eats this set very much, and there are few people who are not superstitious after being the emperor for a long time, more or less.

"Okay, I'll come personally." Xu Kangdi raised his hands, his long sleeves slipped off, he happily went down the steps, although he drank a few more glasses of wine, but his concentration was okay, restrained his swaying steps, and walked forward steadily.

Tang Feng made a color towards Xu Zhong, who immediately stepped forward and supported Xu Kangdi.

"Come, I'll take ......a look at it," Xu Kangdi stepped forward, and as he spoke, he lifted up the red silk cloth. His movements were slow, and he was a little unsteady after about a few glasses of wine tonight. Xu Zhong carefully guarded his side, for fear that he would fall.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Kangdi's hand, as if they were full of interest in this strange stone.

Tang Feng was not interested in these things at all, she lazily poured herself a glass of wine, played with it in her hand, and did not rush to drink it for a while.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

The moment the red silk cloth was lifted, a cold knife stretched out and plunged straight into Xu Kangdi's heart.

If it was usual, Xu Kangdi would definitely dodge, he was a person who had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the swords, guns, and swords had all come, so there was no reason why he couldn't dodge a sudden knife. But after the alcohol came up, his hands, feet and muscles were not so obedient, and the thought of "dodging" did slip through his mind, but his body stayed there sluggishly.

At the critical moment, Xu Zhong, who was standing on the side, pushed him, and the blade was deflected by an inch, cutting his chest.

When the first rays of sunlight jumped out of the palace, the ministers, who had been held in the palace for a night, were able to leave the palace with their families. The ladies supported each other and walked through the long corridor, and they sat in the hall for a night, and when they got up, they felt that their legs and feet were sore.

"Dad, mother!"

"Father, mother—"

There was a long queue of carriages waiting at the gate of the palace, and the family members who were looking forward to it finally saw a familiar figure, and couldn't help but come forward to hug and cry. The night was so long that they even thought it was a parting of life and death.
