After the Queen Mother was buried, Qingrong found an opportunity and quietly told Runrong, Mrs. Fengguo, and the lord of Huatang about the edict.

After hearing this, Mrs. Fengguo was even more sad, and said: "The Queen Mother is still very kind and reasonable. ”

The county lord of Huatang nodded again and again, and said: "It's good now, with the queen mother's edict, the Song family and the king of Liao can be regarded as going to the sword hanging on their heads." ”

Runrong was very moved and said, "It's hard for the imperial grandmother to think about us like this." ”

Qingrong shook his head at the three of them and said, "I think the most important thing is the intention behind the Queen Mother's edict. ”

Mrs. Fengguo's expression was gloomy and she nodded, "Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, the Queen Mother and the Emperor grew up dependent on each other, what the emperor thinks, I'm afraid the Queen Mother knows best." Now that the Queen Mother can say this, I am afraid that the emperor is already very jealous of the King of Liao and the Song family. ”

Runrong realized it later, his face turned pale, and he said, "Aren't the other brothers wolf ambitions?" Why did the emperor keep an eye on us from beginning to end? How loyal and loving Gorou is to his father, but the emperor has repeatedly misunderstood him so far. ”

Qingrong sneered and said: "Childhood shadows, I'm afraid that the influence of the first queen Zhang on the emperor is too far-reaching, and the current queen and the Song family do have a little bit of Queen Zhang's meaning." Even if there is one point, it is enough to evoke the shadow of the emperor's childhood. ”

The county lord of Huatang opened his mouth full of worries, and said: "I am only afraid that the emperor will directly act in the south, and then you orphans and widows will ......."

Mrs. Fengguo couldn't help glaring at the county lord of Huatang and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Runrong immediately became uncalm, and asked in horror, "Is it possible?" There is still a war going on in the south, is it possible for the emperor to do this? ”

Qingrong couldn't say it well, but in order to comfort Runrong, she only said: "The emperor is most concerned about the safety of Princess Yongping at the moment, don't worry." Besides, neither King Liao nor Song Zhao is a straw bale. What's more, there is also the pressure of the second uncle, and the second master Song is the most old, stable and scheming person. There is also Yuan Heng, no matter how you say it, he is also the son-in-law of the Song family. Even if the emperor values him a lot, he will not think about his wife and children. ”

Runrong was reluctantly relieved, but then he said, "No, I have to go back to Liaozhou." ”

The county lord of Huatang was stunned and said, "How many children are you from a woman's family back to Liaozhou?" ”

Runrong said: "Brother Nian is not too young, not to mention where am I alone?" The guards and servants at home are at my disposal, and besides, the third master of the Song family has already left for Liaodong. As long as I go back to Liaozhou, I will not be afraid of anything. ”

Mrs. Fengguo thought about it, but she agreed a little, and said, "Go back." ”

Qingrong was a little worried, but she also knew that whether it was the thorns in her future or the bumps in the road ahead, she needed to go by herself. You can help each other when you are in trouble, but there are some problems that only you can solve.

Runrong said: "If the emperor really dares to do something to Goro, I and the children will rebel if we don't fight back." I have to plan for the worst, I can only protect myself in front of Gorou, but I have to protect the queen mother and the child for him in the back. Now with the queen mother's edict, the queen mother has nothing left. I have to go back to Liaozhou, and I have to hold the forces of Liaozhou tightly in my hands. ”

Qingrong felt that the sonorous words were shining all over her body, she had grown up, matured and steady, she had her own plans and schemes, and she would not be emotional to make decisions easily.

"Runrong, don't worry. I will definitely help you protect the queen mother, and I will also keep an eye on the movements in the capital. The emperor has already allowed you to go back to Liaozhou, you only need to enter the palace and go on a trip with the queen, I will find a way to make the emperor ignore your departure, and when you really leave, it will be too late for him to regret it. ”

Runrong was also afraid that he would not be able to go, but now that he has Qingrong's words, he can be regarded as putting his heart back in his stomach.

After that, Qingrong deliberately chose a day when there was a war report from the front line, and Runrong went to say goodbye to the queen, but the emperor really didn't see Runrong because he was busy with government affairs.

Runrong had already quietly asked people to pack their luggage, and as soon as they left the palace, they led people out of the city.

Because there was no man in charge of this trip, Qingrong couldn't rest assured, so he specially asked Shen Yi to accompany him, and hired three dart bureaus to escort him.

Fortunately, the Duke of Wei said that he was going to send something to Song Ding, and asked people to follow Runrong and his party to Liaozhou.

After Runrong left for two days, the emperor got the news that Princess Liao had left Beijing, and he was furious.

Concubine Yu persuaded with a smile: "Didn't you say that King Liao and Princess Liao can return to the fiefdom in the first month?" What's more, the concubine heard that the princess of Liao came to resign with you that day. ”

The emperor has nothing to say, and he also understands that if he makes too much of a fuss, he is afraid that others will notice that something is wrong.

After a little half a month, Shen Yu came back safely from Liaozhou.

This is the first time that Shen Yi has been out of such a far door independently, and as soon as he returned home, he chattered endlessly with Mrs. Fengguo, Qingrong, and the lord of Huatang about what he had seen in Liaozhou.

"The eldest sister is really majestic in Liaozhou, and it is supported by all the people."

The county lord of Huatang made a tiger face and reminded Shen You: "Don't talk nonsense! What is supported by all the people, if it is listened to by irrelevant people, your eldest sister and the king of Liao will be unlucky. ”

Shen Yu has read history books for a long time, and has already understood power schemes, imperial tricks and the like. Hearing the words of the county lord of Huatang, he couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "If I were the emperor, I would never let the King of Liao return to Liaozhou." ”

Qingrong certainly understands that after the Dajin fight, Liaozhou is now a united army and a civilian, working hard to rebuild after the war. Dajin was injured by the ten cannons, and the royal family withered, Qingrong predicted that unless Dajin could get complete recuperation, he could only honestly continue to pay tribute to Daliang.

There will be peace in Liaozhou for a long time, and even though Liaozhou is bitterly cold, it is rich in materials and should not be underestimated.

Qingrong has carefully studied that the generation of Liaodong in Liaozhou is equivalent to Shanhaiguan and the vicinity of the three eastern provinces. The famous Great Northern Wilderness, there is not a saying called "the rod beats the roe deer scoop the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot", and the product resources are extremely rich.

And from Runrong and Song Zhao, Qingrong also came to the confirmation. So I gave a little pointer to moisten her face, and asked her to focus on industries such as ginseng, deer antler velvet, and fox mink fur in Changbai Mountain.

In July, Runrong brought back a box of ginseng and deer antler velvet, as well as several white fox skins and sable skins.

As soon as Runrong returned to Liaozhou, he began the post-disaster reconstruction, and the results were very eye-catching.

But the battlefield in the south is not as smooth as Liaozhou, as soon as summer comes, the climate in the south is extremely hot and humid, let alone fighting, even if it is painful to stand dry.

The people in southern Xinjiang are more or less accustomed to it, but half of the soldiers in Daliang are not adaptable.

The battle was a stalemate, and despite the heavy losses in southern Xinjiang with the help of artillery, the price of the girder was also very large.

By the end of August, southern Xinjiang began to propose peace to Daliang.

Because Princess Yongping has always been in the hands of the Queen Mother of Southern Xinjiang, the emperor can only agree to the proposal for peace.

The two sides talked about the matter of peace for several rounds, and after such a delay, it went straight to September.

At the end of September, Nanjiang finally agreed to let Princess Yongping and her son return to Daliang, and Daliang must withdraw unconditionally.

Moreover, the people of southern Xinjiang need to see the complete withdrawal of the Great Liang before they are willing to hand over Princess Yongping.

Marshal Song Yu and Zhao Jianjun withdrew with a large army, and only Yuan Heng and Song Zhao were allowed to take a small army to meet Princess Yongping.

Nanjiang believed in Daliang's sincerity and released Princess Yongping first, saying that it would naturally send Princess Yongping's son to Daliang after half a year.

Who knew that as soon as Yuan Heng received Princess Yongping, the army directly pressed the border.

Without Princess Yongping as bait, Daliang's army will no longer be estimated when it starts fighting, and after September, it is not as hot and humid as summer, and Daliang's army is almost overwhelming.

In November, he directly captured the capital of southern Xinjiang, when the queen mother of southern Xinjiang stood on the city wall, planning to die with the son of Princess Yongping.

But he was killed by a sword by the regent of southern Xinjiang, and the regent personally sent the son of Princess Yongping out of the city, and promised to be a vassal to Daliang forever.

The nine-month battle between Daliang and Southern Xinjiang came to an end.

When the emperor heard such news, Long Yan was overjoyed.

It was estimated that Princess Yongping would inevitably come back before the year, so she issued an order to summon several princes who had been released to return to Beijing for a reunion year.

By the day the army returned to the city, it was already the middle of winter in the capital.

There were fine snowflakes in the sky, and a thin layer had accumulated on the ground. But the emperor still took the civil and military officials and Li Guifei and others to welcome Princess Yongping back to the city at the city gate.

Princess Yongping was vigorous when she left Beijing, and she was still the same when she returned. The emperor went to war with southern Xinjiang for her, and she seemed to have become a legend that everyone envied.

But it seems that only Qingrong saw the grand return of Princess Yongping, her depression and unhappiness.

The emperor feasted his ministers for three days, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music resounded above the palace every day.

Princess Yongping took her son to worship her ancestors and the queen mother successively, but the six-year-old child's face was full of heaviness and gloom.

It was only after the joy of Princess Yongping's return home that the emperor finally remembered the reward for meritorious deeds.

Among them, Lord Zhao, the superintendent of the army, directly entered the cabinet and replaced the bachelor at the beginning of the year. All the generals on the side have their own rewards, and Yuan Heng even got the position of the squire of the military department. But only the rewards of King Liao, Song Yu, and Song Zhao were just gold leaf.

And the King of Liao, who returned to Beijing victoriously, discovered one thing, that is, he and the Duke of Wei were under the strict surveillance of the emperor.

The King of Liao had to try his best to tell Qingrong, hoping that she would find a way to send a letter to Runrong, and never take the child back to the capital.

Qingrong heard the sound of conspiracy surging under the harmonious vocal music that enveloped the capital.

They obviously all know that the emperor is bound to attack the King of Liao, but no one knows how to do it, how to do it.

Seeing that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Jingzhong looked like a festive look.

Qingrong became more and more anxious day by day, because she knew that the emperor would not delay for too long. He is afraid that he is about to start, and Qingrong also firmly believes that the unlucky will not be the only one who is unlucky.

This long-planned calculation, I don't know if it will be bloody.
