The wind blew, and a running figure appeared in the wilderness, the figure bloated and seemingly slow, but soon it was also on the road.

The rich man who was still wearing a brocade robe stood in front of the black umbrella, stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously on the empty road, and the wooden monk staggered in front of him.

The rich man circled around him, surprised and surprised: "I'm almost going to see you." ”

Monk Mu looked down at his hand, his slender hand was crystal clear.

"The unreal will replace the real." "Time is running out," he said. ”

He raised his foot and was about to take a step, but the rich man hurriedly stopped him: "The illusory has replaced the real, monk, you can't kill her." ”

Monk Mu looked at him: "Living and dying together is." ”

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, you can kill her." The rich man said helplessly, "But now she can survive, maybe it is the will of God." ”

didn't wait for Monk Mu to speak, and was busy again.

"The guy who is most afraid of death in Wudao people ran back from the mountains, and his family moved back, saying that he would not leave this time."

He looked at Monk Mu and smiled meaningfully.

"I think maybe she's really the hope of peace in the world."

Monk Mu looked at the sky: "I don't see any hope, at least not the hope of those innocents now." ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and took a step, but as soon as he took a step, he was slapped on the back of the neck, and the man fell forward to the ground.

The rich man looked at his hand and was surprised: "I can actually hit?" Can you still be stunned? This is the first time I've beaten a monk! Am I so good? I'll see if I can beat a Taoist priest in a while. ”

After talking to himself about joy, he looked at the monk on the ground and shook his head.

"Even I can knock you out, you're dying."

"I can't think about it, you can watch it slowly, you can't see it now, what if you can see it in the future?"

The short and fat and weak rich man leaned over and easily lifted the monk on his shoulder, then looked at the black umbrella on the ground, picked it up with disgust and reluctance, and muttered with an umbrella in one hand and a monk in the other, swaying like a big mushroom in the wilderness.

......

.......

The outside of the capital was heavily guarded, and when they saw a group of men and horses rushing towards them, the guards immediately opened the city gates.

The Chu character banner is fierce, and Li Minglou is surrounded into the city.

People come and go in the capital, the market is lively, and it is not affected by the battle outside, it is like another world.

But it's not that the capital is isolated from the rest of the world and doesn't know what's going on outside.

When Li Minglou left Beijing, the honor guard was grand and everyone could see it.

At the same time that the southeast road of Longyou Road raised the crusade, the government of the capital posted a notice.

After that, the government announced the situation once every three days, posted on the streets and alleys, guarded by the messengers, and the onlookers answered the questions of the people at any time.

even wrote about Han Xu.

Han Xu was held hostage by Xiang Yun Qishan, intending to use the death of the first emperor to frame the first marquis.

For the safety of the capital, the city gate was closed, entry and exit were restricted, and daily life was as usual.

The female candidate will be able to quell the two turmoil as soon as possible, the capital will be safe and worry-free, and everyone will not need to be alarmed.

The people did not panic, although the city gates were closed, the trade routes were not cut off, and the merchants who had obtained the approval documents could still come in and out, bringing with them plenty of fresh goods and news from the outside people.

The news from the people is similar to that of the government, but there are still differences, such as "Do you know what the true identity of the first marquis is?" "Miss Li of Jiannan Province." "Impossible, Miss Li of Jiannan Province is not in Taiyuan Mansion." "When Taiyuan Mansion was lost, the first Hou Chuguo's wife had just recovered the capital."

This unbelievable news sparked a heated discussion, why did the southeast province of Longyou Province raise troops, but the people didn't care about it.....

Suddenly, there were guards clearing the road on the street, which attracted the people to gather to look and speculate, and when they saw the first marquis banner and the figure of the woman, the originally nervous people immediately cheered.

"First Marquis!"

"The First Marquis is back!"

"The first marquis is safe and sound!"

"I knew it was going to be safe!"

"Look, the face of the first marquis ....."

Seeing the woman's figure, the crowd erupted in cheers, and when the woman approached, the cheers disappeared abruptly, and the movements did not stop, the ones who waved were still waving, and the laughing ones were still laughing, but their eyes were frozen......

Whether it is the Lady of Chu State or the First Marquis, she conquered the capital and lived in the capital, but no one has seen her face for so long.

She seems to be everywhere, but no one has seen her.

Everyone is familiar with the ornate carriage, or the black robe, covering the head and face, and a guard with an umbrella close behind.

At this moment, the woman under the Hou flag was wearing a large black cloak, without a hat, and the guard who followed closely did not have a black umbrella in his hand, and a snow-white face appeared in everyone's sight......

It can't be described or even shocked, only silence.

Li Minglou's figure galloped past, the ice and snow froze all the way, and then melted and rushed like a frozen river in spring, and the noise roared.

Inside the closed palace gate, the court hall is as quiet as no man's land.

Some officials sat on the ground, some fell asleep with their eyes closed, and some officials poured tea in the kettle brought by the eunuch.

The noise outside was faint, and the sleepy official opened his eyes: "What sound?" ”

The officials in the palace listened attentively, nervous and excited, and the noise became louder and closer, as if they had reached the palace.....

"Yes...."An official jumped up, "It's Governor Xiang Du Qi Du Governor who has come in!" ”

This shout made the sleepy jump, and the tea drinker threw down the teacup and staggered towards the temple door.

"Governor Xiang and Governor Qi have called!"

"Governor Xiang and Governor Qi have come to save the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"

"We're saved!"

Some people shouted, some cried, some laughed, and the emotions that had been accumulated for a long time poured out instantly.

At that time, in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, the crowd was excited, shouting that the female Hou Kuang would help the world, but after shouting, they didn't even go out of the palace.....

The forbidden army surrounded the palace, arrested Wu Zheng and several other ministers in the name of conspiracy, and sent the queen mother and the emperor back to the harem, which was actually imprisoned in the name of protection, and they were also locked up in this hall, although the food, tea, and even sleeping bedding were prepared, it was like going to prison.

They cried, the Forbidden Army was unmoved, they rushed out with great courage, and the Forbidden Army drew their swords..... They had no choice but to retreat.

This time they reached the door, and the door opened on its own, and a wizened figure was startled.

"What are you doing!" He shouted.

An official who rushed to the front was also taken aback, and ran backwards with a shout, causing a burst of confusion, until an official recognized the person standing at the door: "Jiang Liang! ”

Panicked to a stop, the officials looked at Jiang Liang at the door, and the next moment they panicked again: "You, you...."

How did it come?

This guy is the lady's lackey!

However, it is also possible to take refuge in Qishan Xiangyun? Jiang Liang is not a good person at first glance...... Everyone looked at him expectantly.

Jiang Liang enjoyed the scene of being watched by others, and walked in with a swagger: "You were bewitched by the thieves and thieves, and almost disturbed the court, do you know that you are wrong now?" ”

The last glimmer of hope disappeared, the officials in the palace were grieved, some were desperate, and some shouted angrily: "The female prince plotted to kill the first emperor!" "We will never coexist with this thief!"

Jiang Liang was surrounded by grieving and angry officials, and without the slightest fear, stopped the forbidden soldiers standing at the door and refuted these words.

"That's all framed by Qi thieves and thieves!" He sneered, "Wu Zheng and the two thieves instigated and coaxed you. ”

"You're being framed." An official said, "The two adults Wu Zheng are the henchmen of the first emperor!" The most trusted ministers, so the first emperor asked them to come to the capital to explore first. ”

Jiang Liang sighed and said, "It turned out to be, but didn't they come to the capital with Xiang Yun?" was bought by Xiang Yun on the road. ”

That's just a mouthful!

"Do you have proof?" Officials asked.

Jiang Liang pouted: "Is there any evidence that the female marquis harmed the first emperor?" ”

This one has! The officials said in unison: "The Queen Mother said it herself!" ”

Jiang Liang looked at them sympathetically: "Did you say it in front of Wu Zheng and the two thieves?" That's the Queen Mother being coerced! ”

The officials were still noisy, but Jiang Liang raised his hand to stop it.

"You don't have to argue with me here." He said, "When the princess comes, you will ask again." ”

The word "Maiden" silenced the officials for a while.

"Lady." Someone asked in a hoarse voice, "Coming back?" ”

Jiang Liang said: "I'm back." He smiled proudly, "If Madame doesn't come back, how can I come back." ”

An official asked in a trembling voice: "Then, Xiang Yunqi Mountain...."

"Xiang Yun was killed in front of the array." Jiang Liang said casually, "Qi Shan fled." ”

The officials in the hall were completely desperate, and they seemed to have no strength to grieve and be angry, and they stared blankly at the outside of the temple gate.....

What about the Lady?

.......

......

The palace gate of the harem was pushed open by the forbidden army, and there was no waiting inside, and they immediately saluted and shouted Madame.

Li Minglou walked in.

In winter, the palace has no red flowers and green willows, and there are no eunuchs and palace maids shuttling between them, which is particularly bleak.

"The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Princesses, and the Princesses are all in their palaces." "You can move at will, eat, drink and eat as usual, and there is no harshness." ”

Li Minglou nodded, and when he came to the gate of the Queen Mother's Palace, there were also guards here, pushing open the heavy palace gate again.

There were several palace maids sitting under the corridor of the palace basking in the sun, and when they heard the sound of the door, they got up in fright, and when they saw a woman coming in, they retreated even more and retreated to a place that no one else could see.

Weili and Li Minglou didn't look at them, and walked straight into the palace.

The hall was well lit, and the sound of weaving came from behind the curtains.

"Mother." Before he finished, "The first marquis is here." ”

The sound of weaving slowly stopped, accompanied by the voice of the Queen Mother: "Madame is back." ”

Before the curtain was raised, Li Minglou watched the Queen Mother, who was dressed in homely clothes, walk down from the loom.

Her face was not haggard, and it was even much richer than at the Songzhou Night Banquet.

"Eat well, sleep well, and of course get fat." The Queen Mother said, sat back on the chair with her unfinished hand, and pointed to the side, "Madame, sit down." ”

Li Minglou sat down, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "It seems that this incident did not scare Niangniang." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "When the forbidden army protected us, I knew that Madame was in control of everything, and I was not worried at all." ”

Li Minglou smiled, and the Queen Mother took the initiative to point out that she was protected by the forbidden army, which meant that the courtiers were thieves.

Just like Song Zhou took the initiative to pull out a knife to kill the first emperor that night, not really wanting the first emperor to die, but in order to stain his hands with blood, he handed Li Minglou a knife that could be used to blackmail her.

That's an alliance.

But this time Li Minglou didn't plan to take the knife.

"Niangniang, you identified me with the ministers." She said.

"Ma'am, I didn't say anything." The Queen Mother stood up, pointed outside, and said hurriedly, "If you don't believe it, ask them, ask everyone, I hugged the emperor, and I didn't mention Mrs. for half a sentence!" ”

She didn't nominate the surname Dao to designate the first marquis to kill the king, she just said that she didn't dare to say anything.

The reason why they didn't dare to say anything was because of the threats.

"I'm scolding them, I'm scolding the world for these traitorous ministers and rebelling with the party! They threatened me, and I didn't dare say anything. ”

Li Minglou didn't argue with her, but said: "Niangniang, you didn't say anything, you just identified me." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her for a moment and sat down slowly: "What about the lady?" Am I living too long and need to die? ”

She glanced at the table, and just brought the tea, and the tea was red and beautiful.

Seeing this, he didn't say a word, put the tea in front of Li Minglou, and stood quietly.

Li Minglou didn't answer, but asked first: "When Niangniang raised the knife against the first emperor, was it for the world of Great Xia, or for your own life?" ”

mentioned that at the beginning, the Queen Mother's expression was a little trance: "I was.... I was really scared by Madame, why did I? This Great Xia is the world..."

She smiled.

"What does this world of Great Xia have to do with me, I am originally a princess of Lu, or a queen who is separated from the emperor and wants to be poisoned by the emperor."

"I'm just afraid of death, I just want to live."

Li Minglou took the tea and drank it all, stood up and said, "Niangniang just wants to live, so please ask Niangniang and Your Majesty to entrust Daxia to me." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her, she was not shocked by this sentence, or from the moment this lady killed the emperor, she thought that there would be such a day, but she didn't expect it to be so soon......

"Madame, since this is going to happen." The Queen Mother smiled sadly, "Why do you have to ask me, what difference does it make if I agree or not." ”

Disagree is dead, agree..... She, the queen mother and the emperor, lives for a day, which is a hidden danger for a day, and she will not die well.

It's all dead, and she has no scruples.

Li Minglou said: "I will let both the mother and the emperor live, and let you all live." ”

Speaking of which, I looked at the Queen Mother.

"Maybe Niangniang doesn't believe it, when I raised my knife against the first emperor, it was because I didn't want to die, not only did I not want to die, but I wanted more people to live."

She looked out the window, the palace maids sat idly and often fed the birds, and at this time the palace maids all avoided it, and the birds were still flying around outside..... Let the bleak winter day be smart.

"I want Great Xia, not the world of Great Xia, but to let more people live in this world."

"As you said, I have scared you, you have fear in your heart, you and I can never eliminate suspicion, then the court disputes will continue, and the world will not stop fighting."

"You and I cannot coexist with the court."

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the Queen Mother.

"But as long as you are the people of the world, you can live."

"I'm Li Minglou, and my words count."

Li Minglou? The Queen Mother was stunned and looked at the woman standing in front of her, she was not familiar with this name, but she was familiar with a similar name, Li Mingyu .....

She sighed: "You are, Jiannandao, eldest lady?" ”

Li Minglou nodded: "Yes, I am the daughter of Li Feng'an of Jiannan Province, Li Mingyu's sister-in-law, Li Minglou." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly said: "No wonder, no wonder." ”

Jiannan Dao, no wonder, Zhongqi listens to her, Li Mingyu listens to her, Han Xu ...... This half of the world belongs to other people!

The Queen Mother smiled sadly, shook her head, raised her head again and said calmly: "Madam, what do you want me to do?" ”

In December of the ninth year of Chengyuan, because of the Longyou Dao Xiangyun and the southeast Daoqi Mountain rebellion, the Queen Mother and the emperor were frightened and did not want to eat, and the illness lingered, and entrusted the government to the first marquis, hoping to secure the world, Pingweidao rebellion, and relieving the difficulties of the people.

When the Queen Mother took the emperor to tell the story in the court, Li Minglou thought that the civil and military officials would make a fuss, but they just let out a grieving cry and crawled on the ground, but they did not make a big noise to admonish them to death.

"I made it clear to them." Standing in the Begonia Palace, Jiang Liang twisted his beard proudly, "Let them know that Xiang Yun is dead and Qi Shan is defeated, madam, you are invincible in the world, they have nothing to rely on, plus they have been locked up for so many days, they have even thought about death hundreds of times, and after thinking about it too much, they don't want to think about it." ”

That's fine, although she won't use these court officials anymore, but she doesn't want them to die, Li Minglou nodded, no longer paid attention to these things, and asked: "Wujin Wuxiao, have they arrived?" ”

Yuan Ji stepped forward and said, "It's already here, wait outside the hall." ”

Although she is still the first marquis, because she is in charge of the world for the Empress Dowager, she also lives in the palace, which is still the former Begonia Palace, Li Minglou said: "Pass them in." ”

There was a eunuch who received the order to speak loudly, the palace maids rolled up the tent, Li Minglou sat up, and looked at the thirteen young men and women rushing outside the hall.

Some people are running in front and some are walking slowly, both men and women are wearing armor and are full of energy.

.......

.......

At the beginning of the tenth year of the Chengyuan Dynasty, the first marquis issued an edict to summon the generals of the guards to report on their work and enter the academy, and set up a military supervision institute in the guard to check the armaments.

The world was in an uproar, refused to enter Beijing, and expelled the supervision envoy.

In February of the tenth year of Chengyuan, the first marquis named the thirteenth righteous children as generals, and there were Shuofang Jiedu to make Wu Ya'er, and Jiannan Dao Jiedu to make Li Mingyu lead the soldiers and horses, take over the Weidao, collect and organize the guards, clear the remnants of the rebels, and investigate the bandits and thieves.
