"No," Qi Yanzhi said, "A few days ago, I ate a nest in the palace, and the minister was shocked, so he asked the cook at home to make some too, and the minister ate it every day during this time." ”

The emperor snorted coldly, took a nest head and took a bite and frowned, this thing is really not flattering, he was about to drop it, Qi Yanzhi stopped: "Alas, the emperor, please cherish the food, now the war is tight, the materials are tight, and there are many people who can't eat the nest, you can't take the lead in wasting it." ”

The emperor choked him, and the nest head that he was about to throw back to his mouth and took a bite, the more he ate, the more he couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't vomit it.

Qi Yan said: "Your Majesty, it will be much better to eat pickles, and the pigeon meat is also very tender, you can taste it." ”

The emperor picked up the chopsticks, hesitated back and forth between the pickles and the pigeon meat, and saw that he didn't want to eat anything, and finally ate a piece of pickles first. The appetite was opened by the pickles, and the emperor ate the pigeon meat again, probably because the pickle nest was too rough, and the pigeon meat was particularly tender, and the emperor ate two bites and actually relished the chopsticks.

Gonggong Li, who was waiting on the side, became more and more shocked, who would have thought that the king of a country would eat the leftover meat of the nest pickles and eat it with such relish, I am afraid that whoever comes will fall through the eyeballs, on weekdays, everyone is eager to give the dragon meat in the sky to the emperor, and they don't see what the emperor eats so happily.

is such a Qingyang Marquis, Gonggong Li sighed in his heart, he actually ate the emperor to death.

There are more people in the palace who think they are favored, all of them are proud, how do you know that compared with Qingyang Hou, it is a world of difference, the emperor is really rare Qingyang Hou in his heart, for others, I am afraid it is just superficial work.

was looked at by Qi Yan's eyes, the emperor didn't have a bite left, but he was very happy with Gonggong Li, the emperor has been working hard for state affairs recently, he has no appetite, and he hasn't eaten a serious meal for a long time.

"Your Majesty, would you like some tea?" Gonggong Li said happily, "It's still the Marquis of Qingyang who has a way, the emperor has no appetite these days, but the imperial dining room is in a hurry, it's rare to eat so much!" ”

The emperor waved his hand, "Tea is free, I have a headache and can't sleep recently, let me cook a bowl of white fungus soup, go to the fire." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll ask someone to do it."

After eating, the emperor was in a better mood, and he didn't lose his temper again, but his spirit looked very bad, "I want to send General Yu to Northern Xinjiang, what do you think?" ”

"Not how." Qi Yanzhi said, "General Yu is the Dinghai Divine Needle in the court, he stays, everyone can rest assured, as soon as he leaves, the court will be chaotic." ”

The emperor was speechless, how could he not know, firstly, the position issue is not allowed, and the defense of the capital is also very important, and everyone is not at ease without General Yu.

"But what about Northern Xinjiang, did you just give up?" The emperor sighed, "Yu Ning's kid comes over every day to ask for his life, I am almost shaken, but I still can't bear it, his identity is enough to sit in the northern Xinjiang, but he is too young and inexperienced, if there is no veteran to help, the situation will still be uncontrollable, and he will sacrifice in vain." ”

In the final analysis, there is still a lack of good generals in the court, and a General Yu is outstanding, and the emperor can even ignore his position for the time being.

"Nature can't give up." Qi Yan said, "If the emperor can be trusted, the minister can try it." ”

The emperor was surprised, "You? ”

It's not that the emperor looks down on him, it's just that he has never linked Qi Yanzhi to the battlefield, and he won't think of sending him if he sends anyone, after all, he has inconvenient legs and feet. In the eyes of the emperor, Qi Yanzhi is still the little doll who needed to be protected, he lost his mother at a young age, and broke his leg, it is too late to protect him, how can he be asked to take risks.

"Yes, the minister." Qi Yanzhi repeated.

"How can you go?" The emperor felt that he was messing around, so he didn't take it to heart at all, "You don't want to mess around, there is no one in the court, and it won't be your turn to go to the front line, if you want to be rewarded for meritorious service, just tell me directly, if you want the house, you want the name Lu I will give you." ”

"Your Majesty." Qi Yanzhi was unhurried and explained the current situation to the emperor, "Now looking at the court, except for the people in the two parties, who do you look down on?" ”

This made the emperor not light, but as long as someone can go, he will not call a Wenchen to lead the troops before, in fact, Wenchen will not be there, if he can strategize and sit in the rear, it is better than ten reckless generals, but the problem is that there are not many Wenchen who can handle it.

It's not much, probably not a few, to put it bluntly, the emperor doesn't believe in anyone, those neutrals and the imperial party are neutral on the surface, but in fact, there are mostly wait-and-see, as long as there is an overwhelming advantage on either side, they will not be neutral immediately. Even if he has the talent to command in the rear, he can't use it, because this kind of person will often only protect himself, and he will not sacrifice himself for the court at a critical moment, and the emperor doesn't want to get another general to take prisoners of other people's countries.

Seeing that the emperor pursed his lips and was silent, Qi Yanzhi knew that he followed his train of thought, "If you have a good candidate, I will definitely not come out and show timidity, with all due respect, the noisy and smoky miasma in the court will not be concluded at all, unless you drive your own expedition, otherwise you will wait for Fanbang to capture the northern frontier, and then attack the capital." ”

The emperor frowned, this is simply true, he thought about it repeatedly for a long time, he really thought about the royal driving in person, but the overall situation does not allow it, once he leaves the capital, I am afraid that the throne will not be his tomorrow.

Yan Zhi, this kid except for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he really can't find fault anywhere, he is smart and erudite, knows how to strategize, and is of the right age, the most important thing is that the emperor trusts him.

But......

The emperor was extremely conflicted, Qi Yanzhi was his cherished child like Yu Ning, the war in the northern Xinjiang was dangerous, if it wasn't for the last resort, he would definitely not consider calling these two people to take risks, but the number of people who could be used at the moment was only the two of them, this situation was sad and lamentable, but there was nothing to be done.

"Nope." The emperor's inner battle was actually a little shaken, but reason made him reject him first, "You can't go, no matter how bad I am, I can't ask you to go, why don't you think about your wife, are you willing to get married?" ”

He couldn't bear it, Qi Yanzhi couldn't wait to tie Xie Ruqing to his waist, but he had something to do after all, and now he took the risk to earn time to stay together in the future, no matter what, he had to go to this battle.

He didn't worry about the emperor stopping him, because in the end, the emperor had to choose him and no one else.

Xie Ruqing finally finished Qi Shaojin's white affairs, and temporarily breathed a sigh of relief, in the past few days, Yu's body and bones have also improved, and gradually stopped talking about Qi Shaojin every day.

However, Qi Shaojin didn't read it anymore, and changed his mind to say goodbye to Qi Zhiyuan, losing her eldest grandson made her feel insecure, and she had to marry Qi Yanzhi as soon as possible, and give birth to an eldest grandson before she could feel at ease.

"Ruqing, come and take a look," the princess asked someone to send a few portraits, all of them were girls of school age in the capital who had not yet left the cabinet, "These are all the matchmakers I asked to come, which one do you think is better?" ”

Xie Ruqing leaned over and took a few looks, where could she see the good or bad on the portrait, all of them were painted with powder, miserable and haunted, she didn't look at the appearance, but paid attention to the name of the portrait.

There is actually a kind of thing in it.
