Chapter 32 The Meritorious Lord
Yang Xi suddenly sighed and said, "Concubine Ai only knows these things, but she doesn't know anything else. β
"What else?" Chen Qingxuan was stunned for a moment and asked puzzled.
"Back then, the land war, with the reputation of the god of war, led the army for many years, never defeated, to the later, even as long as the enemy army heard the name of the god of war, without a fight can bend the soldiers, and because of this, Nanxia was willing to give in, every year to my Great Zhou Dynasty to worship countless gold and silver, since the land war failed to rebel and died, the Nanxia country openly tore up the contract, frequently harassed me at the border." Yang Xi said lightly.
"This Southern Xia Kingdom is too much, is it really a bully to my Great Zhou Dynasty?" Chen Qingxuan followed his voice and said busily.
Yang Xi pondered for a moment before he said: "Soon after I ascended the throne, I sent envoys to the Southern Xia Kingdom to negotiate peace, but I didn't expect that the monarch of the Southern Xia Kingdom turned out to be a fool. β
"Heh-" When Chen Qingxuan heard this, she not only laughed out loud, but she didn't know if the monarch of the Southern Xia Kingdom was a fool, she didn't know at all, this was coming out of Yang Xi's mouth, it was really a little weird.
"That fool of the Southern Xia Kingdom, what do you say?" Chen Qingxuan asked with a smile.
"He killed my envoy and sent a letter to me, saying that the Southern Xia Kingdom originally signed a contract with the God of War, and all the tributes were given to the God of War, and now that the God of War is dead, the original contract is no longer valid." Yang Xi shook his head, when he received the message, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood, at that time, he had just ascended the throne.
But now, although there is still not much time, he has seen through a lot, the Supreme Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, sometimes he can't help himself, those heroes who are highly meritorious and shocking the lord may not be good at maneuvering, whether there is a heart of disobedience I don't know, but when the power in his hands is high to a certain point, he will be outside, and the monarch's order will not be accepted.
Fortunately, when he killed the God of War, Gu Zhen didn't get the talisman, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be even more arrogant and domineering, even better than the God of War.
Lu Zhan died for three years, but there was no news about the talisman, when the Lu Mansion was raided, it was almost three feet into the ground, but he was stunned that he did not find the talisman, the dignified Zhou Kingdom, but the talisman was not held in the hands of the royal family, this is undoubtedly a cup, Yang Xi has been trembling since he ascended the throne, lest he dream back at midnight one day, and the rebels have come to the city.
Fortunately, this year has been smooth, thinking of this, he sighed lightly,
"What a fool!" In Yang Xi's ears, Chen Qingxuan's soft voice came, like a dream.
"I think that although the god of war has outstanding military achievements, he is a citizen of the Great Zhou Kingdom after all, where is he qualified to sign a contract with the Southern Xia Kingdom, it can be seen that the king of the Southern Xia Kingdom is a fool, Your Majesty is really not wrong." Chen Qingxuan said with a smile.
"I remember when I was a child, there was once a time when the god of war lived in the capital, and the first queen specially sent someone to take his only daughter into the palace to play, and ordered the prince to accompany her." Yang Xi said suddenly.
Chen Qingxuan said after a while: "That God of War general actually has a daughter?" β
"It's just one girl!" Yang Xi nodded and said, "The Jade Void View Taixu Zhenren once said that the God of War killed too much and had no children, so that girl was a treasure he held in the palm of his hand, and he didn't know how to pet it." β
"Where's that girl now?" Chen Qingxuan asked with a curious expression.
"Dead!" Yang Xi turned around, touched her fair and soft face, and said lightly, "When the Lu Mansion was raided, a fire burned to death. β
"Your Majesty has seen that girl?" Chen Qingxuan asked with a smile.
Yang Xi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "No, she was only six or seven years old at that time, and she was very timid, and the queen was afraid that we would scare her, so she only ordered the prince to accompany her, but I have never seen it." β
"Hmm!" Chen Qingxuan nodded and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's almost the second watch, aren't you going to Gu Guifei Niangniang?" β
"Yes, it's not early, I should go, Concubine Ai should rest early!" Yang Xi said, got up and walked out.
Chen Qingxuan hurriedly took the silver fox fur coat, put it on him with his own hands, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the weather is cold, you should wear this gown!" β
"I'll come back tomorrow to see Concubine Ai!" Yang Xi said, already helping Zhang Derong, the chief manager of the interior, and walked out.
Chen Qingxuan sent out of the Qinghe Palace, watched Yang Xi sit on the jade bowl, and then turned back, ordered Yuehe to close the door, refreshed up, moved the lamp and lowered the curtain, but she was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.
In Huayang Palace, Concubine Gu received an order early in the morning, and His Majesty would come over to rest at night today, and ordered her to prepare early.
Gu Guifei understood that His Majesty was not grounding her, and sent someone over to comfort her with kind words and a lot of rewards, but because her father received the holy decree, the border pass was in turmoil, and he took action on the same day to pacify the border pass.
Thinking that her father was quite old, but he still had to fight on the battlefield, she was worried, but thinking about it, her father was away, and His Majesty naturally had a lot of grace to herself, if her father could make military achievements this time, then the queen's position would naturally be her.
I hope that those Southern Xia enemy troops will retreat quickly, and my father will return to the dynasty as soon as possible.
Early in the morning, Gu Guifei bathed and changed clothes, dressed up, and asked the maid to go to the palm dining workshop to ask for a few exquisite side dishes, prepare a pot of wine, and wait for His Majesty to come.
It's just nearly two watches, and Your Majesty hasn't come yet? Could it be that there was something in the court, and someone went to inquire, only to know that His Majesty passed through the Qinghe Hall and went to Chen Qingxuan to sit there for a while.
Gu Guifei's heart was soaked in a jar of vinegar, and she was really not happy-after thinking about it, before leaving, her father deliberately used the excuse of entering the palace to ask for peace, and secretly told herself a major event, so that she must pay attention to it in the palace.
It's just that she has been in the palace since she was sixteen years old, and for so many years, she has never heard of any Xuanji Mansion? What the hell is that place? His Majesty must have known about itβbut His Majesty had never mentioned it to her.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty is here!" Outside, her personal maid said excitedly.
When Gu Guifei heard this, she hurriedly got up and took it out, and sure enough, Yang Xi, dressed in a cyan robe, helped the little nobleman and walked in.
"Knock on Your Majesty!" Gu Guifei bowed.
"Love the concubine and excuse me!" Yang Xi nodded with a smile.
"Knowing that Your Majesty is coming, the concubine specially prepared wine and food, and asked Your Majesty to appreciate her face!" Gu Guifei said with a smile.
"Good, good!" Yang Xi agreed in a row, and said with a smile, "As soon as I was told by the concubine, I was really a little hungry, I ate dinner early, and the night is getting longer and longer!" β
"yes!" Gu Guifei personally stepped forward, helped him take off the silver fox fur coat outside, waited for him to go into the inner room and sit down, poured the pot of wine, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, why is it so late today?" β
"Is the concubine disgusted that I'm late?" Yang Xi asked deliberately.
"How so?" Gu Guifei was busy laughing and said, "Your Majesty is working on state affairs, how dare the concubines complain?" β
