Chapter 181: To the Border
In the palace and court, the emperor and the queen mother had another conflict, but the emperor still followed the queen mother's advice.
At the end of the early dynasty, the Queen Mother kept Liu Li and took him to the backyard with a smile.
The backyard is full of the Queen Mother's forbidden army, and Liu Li only has Gao Hai by his side, and the Queen Mother gave him a momentum suppression, as if to say: Let you not choose military power at that time, and now you can only be slaughtered by others, right?
"Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The Queen Mother nodded, walked to the depths of the courtyard, and said unhurriedly: "Regarding the matter of border guards, why does the emperor listen to my opinion? When you are old, you may be stubborn and stupid, so you still have to stick to your political opinions!"
"The power of the court is in the hands of the queen mother, and I think the queen mother can handle all affairs. ”
"Handle everything? Hehe, everything in the world needs money. Doesn't the emperor know that the border guards are already hard, and they must always guard against invasion and need funds and materials, otherwise the military and the government will face difficulties?
Liu Li was still calm, and asked with a smile: "What does the queen mother mean?"
"I hope the emperor can allocate funds for the border military defense!"
Liu Li smiled, "Although this is reasonable, there has been no accident at the border for a long time, and the allocated materials and military salaries are reasonable." Beihua is stable and stable all around, and Pingliang and Xibang are even more friendly and harmonious with Beihua, so do we need to add some unnecessary funds? I think that the people in Beihua need to be more sympathetic and sympathetic; after all, there is a drought in the north and a flood in the south.
"Natural disaster?" the Queen Mother snorted softly, seemingly disapproving.
Liu Li nodded, and didn't say much, he knew that all this was not a discussion of whether it was right or wrong, but a struggle for power.
Since the appearance of the goddess star, Beihua has been peaceful and beautiful everywhere, and the disasters have all subsided. There is no need for the government to intervene, and there are already people who have come to the aid of those desolate places. Does the emperor refuse to believe that his people can help each other and survive the difficulties?"
"No, as far as I know, the help is only a few and not all of them. The victims of the disaster are not concentrated, and many of them are not known, so officers and soldiers need to be deployed and distributed, otherwise it will be a place of fresh life and a dead silence. All beings are equal, do we want to watch some people starve to death?"
The Queen Mother sniffed the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and then broke a branch down, and the crisp sound seemed to be deliberately for Liu Li.
"The emperor's thinking is thoughtful, so allocate more funds to the famine. However, Pingliang has also had a strange scene recently, and it seems that he is also taking care of the goddess. Doesn't the emperor know?"
Liu Li was taken aback and looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously: She didn't seem to be lying, did Pingliang get the Tianshan Holy Relic like Beihua?
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" the Queen Mother asked knowingly, and sighed again: "The consideration of the mourning family is not unreasonable!"
"Is the queen mother worried about Pingliang?"
The Queen Mother nodded, "The mourning family is worried that once they have a good situation, they will not know the height of the sky, and the border is even more important, why don't the emperor send someone to take a look? If there is peace, then the mourning family will not say anything!"
Liu Li thought for a while and replied: "Since the border is so important, then I might as well go and see it in person, and send some condolences to King Hou by the way." I heard that the Marquis of Zhenning has not entered Beijing for several years, nor has he accepted the reward, but he is still so conscientious, which is really sighing. Besides, the border is close to Princess Lianghua's fiefdom, and I can also go to meet the imperial sister!"
"Yes, then you can go!" The Queen Mother handed over the osmanthus to the emperor, thinking: You don't have to say so much, I just deliberately let you go, this is to drill a little circle!
Liu Li looked at the back of the Queen Mother leaving, and asked softly, "Queen Mother, do you have something for me to tell the imperial sister?"
The Queen Mother was stunned, and her legs and feet were a little numb. If no one talked about it, she wouldn't remember that she still had a daughter, after all, she put all her heart on the eldest prince.
"Lianghua!" The Queen Mother called slowly, with several vicissitudes in her mood.
Liu Li's heart tightened, and suddenly a burst of sourness poured out, and then he pressed it down again. This is not his mother, why is he sad?
"If it's okay, forget it over there! The royal sister is living well on the back cover, and the queen mother doesn't have to remember it!"
"Yes!" the Queen Mother nodded, "There is something to say! Things are not people, and Lianghua should have changed a little!"
Liu Li was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that the queen mother is going to take Lianghua back to Beijing?" I said that the imperial sister must come back, and this is her home!"
"This is not her home, her home she will have her home!"
"What?" Liu Li couldn't understand why the Queen Mother didn't let Lianghua return to the palace and said something strange.
His own daughter, separated from the two places, didn't he miss her?
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled softly. "Princess Lianghua is older, it's time to talk about a family matter, you go and ask her if she has a sweetheart. Also, your eldest brother is not young anymore, but he has not yet married and had children. If you are lucky enough to meet the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenning, why don't you ask her if she means this!"
Liu Li understood, nodded and smiled. "The queen mother really attaches great importance to the family affairs of her children, but fortunately she did not mention her sons this time. Rest assured, the queen mother, I will definitely take the affairs of the royal sister and eldest brother to heart, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
"Actually, you also need to step up! The queen mother looks at He Yu well, she comes to me all day long to apply medicine to beautify my face, she must be a filial woman. If you can marry He Yu into the harem, you will definitely enjoy endless blessings. Maybe you won't need to see a doctor and take medicine for the rest of your life!"
Liu Li shook his head again and again and refused: "Queen Mother, don't laugh anymore." The nobleman of Xihai is the medical lady you invited into the palace, and since she is a nobleman of the palace, how can you talk about marriage? I have no intention of harem for the time being, and I ask the queen mother not to have such good intentions! If one day, I meet a suitable person, I will talk about it with my mother!"
"Okay! You two brothers are so pure-hearted!" the Queen Mother smiled faintly, thinking: You can come back alive and talk about it!
A barren hill with many weeds and scattered with sand and gravel.
Previously, it was still a withered yellow patch, but now it is tender green and beautiful, like spring.
Autumn is not like autumn, the field is full of green, flowery fruit trees, bright green grass and trees cover the loess sand stone, the scenery has changed, and the brilliance is different.
If this change continues, the name here should be changed. Xue Ze thought about it, and a sadness surged in his heart, which he couldn't avoid and couldn't get rid of.
Lianzi didn't feel it, she thought about how to help the most.
Ling'er was most excited about this, and sighed: "I have been to this mountain dozens of times, and it has never been so bright green! It seems that the divine power of this ice crystal is really not to be underestimated!"
"That's nature, this is the sacred relic of the Tianshan Mountains after all!" Lotus Zi smiled proudly, as if she was still the disciple of the Tianshan Mountains.
Ling'er quietly grimaced, and laughed at Lianzi: "You are no longer from Tianshan, what are you still proud of? By the way, have you passed a hundred years of calamity? How do you see that you are safe and sound, and you are still giggling every day, like a nobody?"
Hearing this, Yukisawa immediately turned around and looked at the lotus seed in surprise. "What doom did you do?"
Lianzi looked at Ling'er dissatisfied, and then returned to Xueze with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine! There will be a catastrophe in the first hundred years of Red Lotus Seeds, maybe it may have passed!"
"It's over?" Yukisawa didn't believe it.
Lianzi looked at Ling'er in a daze, and called for help. "Actually, I encountered a lot of monsters after I went down the mountain, and I almost got killed, maybe that's it!"
Ling'er smiled knowingly, "This calamity can be big or small, maybe it is! After all, you suffered a trip to the Blue Lake and were stripped of the Tianshan level, this could also be your calamity." In short, everything is not as important as the World Tribulation now, so let's look for ice crystals!"
Yukisawa looked at the lotus seeds, but didn't find anything wrong, and didn't continue to ask. In the case of the catastrophe, she couldn't intervene, and at most she could help take care of it.
"The scenery in this border area is good, but it's a pity that we are pressed for time, let's come back and see it again!" Ling'er smiled and said to herself: "No, if you succeed in getting the holy relics, this scenery should disappear, I'd better take a second look!"
Xue Ze looked at the scenery below the mountain and asked Ling'er gently. "Why do you care about these things? Originally, Lan Xin Pavilion could sit and receive fame and fortune and wait for news, and you Pingliang could also use the power of ice crystals to bless deeply. Why are you here to help me?"
Ling'er retracted her gaze and smiled shyly, "Actually, I admire you!"
Yukisawa smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at the ice crystal bracelet on his wrist.
Ling'er sighed and said bluntly: "Actually, I didn't tell you some lies. The theory of help is also to explore its reasoning. The big reason is because I captured the words of the Heavenly Maiden a long time ago. It may be that I have disobeyed my master's order and have been thinking about this matter, so I have paid special attention to you and want to help you through this calamity!"
After hearing this, Lianzi said indignantly: "It turns out that it is not for the common people in the world, nor for the Tianshan Mountain, you are here to satisfy your selfish desires!"
"Lotus seeds!" Xue Ze grabbed the lotus seeds and said with a smile: "Everyone has their own calamity, sects and national politics, why does Miss Qu only care about this heavenly female calamity? Or, what have you Lan Xin Pavilion captured, have foresight?"
"Maybe, I don't know, but the only thing I know for sure is that it's the Celestial Maiden Tribulation that I care about. The reason why I didn't want to be a princess in Pingliang and wanted to be a disciple of Lanxin Pavilion was to satisfy my curiosity. I'll definitely figure out what I can pay attention to. Now, there are two things that bother me, one is the ins and outs of this Heavenly Tribulation, how can I give up this great opportunity?"
Lianzi sneered, "Then you will come to Tianshan to wait, and reveal some news, just to be with us?"
