The majestic Jinluan Hall was silent, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair, his eyes swept over the civil and military officials standing below one by one, "What do you have to say, why don't you speak?" ”

The courtiers looked at each other, and on this matter, everyone was in the same position, and no one wanted to stand up and take the lead.

No one spoke, so the emperor called him by name, "Xiu Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty," Xiu Min stepped out of the queue and bowed deeply: "The minister thinks that even if he thinks about the people of the world, he should also value peace." ”

Prime Minister Bai immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that under the nest, there are no eggs, and the land is incomplete, which is the shame of my Dongyue, besides, the king of Chu occupies the rich Jiangnan water town, the land in the north is barren, and the property is scarce, and it cannot compete with it at all. ”

The emperor pondered for a while, "Turn the tide in the fall, help the building in the future, I am here, the world will be safe." He glanced at the queue of military attachés, "Is there any Aiqing who is willing to take the initiative to ask Ying to go on the expedition?" ”

After a battle, the number of military attachés in the queue is not much left, and the generals who were ordered to go out at the beginning either defected halfway, or died on the battlefield, or lost the battle, and hid at home in frustration and pretended to be sick, and the rest of them had no actual combat experience, and they were afraid of the prestige of the king of Chu, and no one dared to take over.

The emperor did not have a working military general in his hands, but he had arranged the places, nailed one by one, and could not be moved easily.

Seeing the appearance of the military attachés cowering, the emperor sighed in his heart and shook his head,

"Raise your hand in favor of and?"

The military attaches all raised their hands high, and whoever likes to fight will fight, and they don't fight anyway.

"Raise your hand in favor of fighting."

Most of the civil officials raised their hands, and the soldiers could not be killed, and the arrogance of the literati made them disapprove of the division of the south, and they only had to express their opinions, and the military attaché would carry out the war.

As a result, the teams on both sides of the division quarreled, and the buzzing sound annoyed the emperor, and he looked blankly at the red-faced and thick-necked ministers below, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

It would be nice if the queen was here, this thought together, his heart jumped suddenly, and he stood up from the dragon chair.

As soon as he moved, it was quiet below, and the ministers all looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to do?

What can you do? He was not a decisive person in the first place, the emperor smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

Gao Shenghai sang the retreat and walked back with the emperor, but the emperor did not stop when he walked to the Chengde Palace, and still walked forward slowly.

Gao Shenghai asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, where are you going?" ”

The emperor didn't speak, he walked past the Spring Palace, and when he arrived in front of the Fengming Palace, he stood in front of the palace gate, staring at the high plaque on the palace door for a long time, silent.

After the queen was annihilated, he did not let people seal the palace, and the people in the palace were not dismissed, they were still the old men who served the queen, guarding the palace every day, cleaning, guarding the door, and holding the lamp, as if she was still there, he rarely came to the back, standing by the window of the south study, and seeing the occasional people entering and leaving the palace, he would feel at ease, as if she was still there.

Seeing that he was about to go in, Gao Shenghai hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, Niangniang has been gone for less than a year, and the yin qi here has not dissipated, in case it is ...... at you."

"It's out of the way," the emperor said lightly, "if I can really touch her soul, I just want to ask her something." ”

Gao Shenghai: "......"

The emperor entered Fengming Palace, and the chief manager Liu Fu led the palace maids and eunuchs below to greet him, and he knelt on the ground.

The emperor called and walked straight to the apse, which was the queen's bedroom, Liu Fu and Gao Shenghai wanted to follow, but he waved his hand to stop them: "You guys are waiting outside, I'll go in alone." ”

Gao Shenghai had no choice, so he had to watch the bright yellow figure enter the dormitory, he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, "Ouch, what if this is rushed, what is good, Niangniang's ghost should not come back at this time......"

Liu Fu stood opposite him, pulling the corners of his mouth and sneering, "What is the chief manager afraid of Niangniang's soul, don't do anything wrong, right?" ”

Gao Shenghai glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about, our family is afraid of rushing to Long Live Lord." ”

"Long live the Lord is the true dragon emperor, the yang energy is heavy, and you can't rush to be idle, but those ghosts and ghosts should be careful."

"Liu Fu, the mother is gone, what are you still angry about?" Gao Shenghai snorted, "Aren't you afraid that one day people will sink the well?" ”

"That's good, our family can go to the underworld to serve Hou Niangniang," Liu Fu looked at him indifferently, "The tall manager is different, the big red man in front of the emperor enjoys endless glory and wealth, but it is good to live a long life." ”

Gao Shenghai never knew that Liu Fu was so eloquent, so he was so stunned for a while that he couldn't speak, looked at him gloomily, and stopped talking.

The furnishings in the house are still the same as before, the emperor is very familiar with this place, he stays here all the year round, the dressing table, the peony blossom rich phoenix head bed, the red sandalwood insect screen, the Bogu shelf is his cherished various porcelain, the house is smoked with a faint lotus incense, it is the queen's favorite one during her lifetime.

He took a deep breath, walked to the couch and stood for a while, sat down on the edge of the bed, the queen has been lying here since she died, he said that he would accompany her for three days, but in the end the promise was not fulfilled, he escaped from the battle, he is a coward!

The emperor laughed self-deprecatingly, and gently stroked the smooth edge of the bed with his hand, "Chun'er, you must spit on me, I said that I would accompany you, but in the end I ran away, you have no jokes, but I am ...... to you." Gaffes.

In fact, I know that what you said is right, but I don't believe in evil, I just want to try once, and finally fall into a situation where I want to divide the river and rule, and the good country is lost in my hands, and I am laughed at by the world, and I am also to blame. I've always been diligent, but I'm ridiculous...... Chun'er, I have failed to live up to your expectations.

The king of Chu proposed to divide the river and rule, what does Chun'er want? In fact, I know that the third brother still can't bear to kill me, probably because of your entrustment, his biggest weakness is soft-heartedness, but unfortunately I forced him too tightly, so that his weakness turned into armor, forcing him to rebel. Now everything is a fact and cannot be recovered, but my original intention has not changed.

The third brother didn't want to kill each other, so he took great pains, since one country could not have two kings, so he divided the country into two, and let me and the prince rule separately, so that in the end, it would be better for the prince to govern the country wisely, or whether my benevolent government was more effective, and it would be clear at a glance. I am not afraid of comparing with the prince, I will not admit defeat, I know, Chun'er must agree with peace, divide the river and rule, after all, it is still the world of the Murong family, as long as the people are stable, I don't mind being the emperor of the north.

Chun'er, you have to protect me, and protect my Murong clan's eternal ......"

After saying this, the emperor hung his head, did not move for a long time, his eyelids were raised, as if he was squinting, for a long time, a small voice escaped from his mouth, faintly inaudible, "Chun'er, I miss you so much......"
