It was late at night, and it was still lonely and cold outside, and her heart was cold. This deserted temple made her suddenly lonely.

At the age of eighteen, his body and physiology are developing vigorously. The beautiful girl is eighteen years old, and how many girls sit in the window, thinking of the son in their hearts. The ignorance of that cardamom years makes people feel sorry for themselves.

But she felt lonely, I don't know if it was because she was over forty years old or more mature than ordinary girls, or if she was born in the royal world, and her daughter had no spring in her heart.

Her mind now is not on who or what is happening, but on these thousands of troubles. Either way, there is always something to be sacrificed by someone.

When she thought about leaving the palace, she remembered that Ling Yun had been in Changzhou and had not returned. Something must have happened.

"Someone's coming!" She shouted loudly outside the hall, and the sound of rain crashing on the glazed tiles drowned out her voice.

She stood up and walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Liu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is asking to see you outside, saying that there is something important." The chamberlain hurried in.

"What a matter for you to be so alarmed." She was in a bad mood and couldn't help but scold.

"Lord Liu crawled to the ground and came to the slave maid." The chamberlain panicked.

"Announce him in." She straightened the folds in her robe.

The chamberlain left in a hurry.

Liu Ting, the secretary of the military department, walked up to him with all his body covered in water, and the water that was brushed off the hem brought out a water stain in the hall.

"Liu Shangshu is so embarrassed, why?" She was surprised.

"Your Majesty, it's not good to hear something big from Changzhou. After Yulin captured the city, when entering the city, the street collapsed, and all the soldiers and horses fell into the depression and disappeared. Liu Shangshu knelt on the ground with a puff and said with a trembling body.

"Gone? Seriously! When she heard this, she was shocked and stood up from the dragon chair.

"It's true. General Guo's handwritten newspaper is in Weichen's arms. Liu Tingyu took out a bag of oiled paper from his arms.

Liu Tingyu carefully opened the paper bag, took out the newspaper inside, and presented it.

She took it and couldn't wait to open it, every word was written by Liang Rui. She thought about it for a long time after reading the letter, and was puzzled.

"Changzhou, Changzhou..." she always felt that Changzhou was strange, especially when she entered the depths of the woods, it would be dark, and then she fell into a place like a bottomless abyss, and even saw the past, and then came back alive.

The soldiers and horses of the Yulin Kingdom are missing! In the territory of Changzhou!

Her thoughts wandered for a while before she came back to her senses: "Is the entire army of Yulin Kingdom annihilated or temporarily missing?"

"The minister thought that this matter was strange. If it is only a tactic of the enemy's army to avoid people's eyes and ears, our army will be in a passive position. If the enemy army is completely annihilated, it will be Tianyou Ningfu. The emperor is the true dragon son of today, driven by the general trend. Liu Tingyu shook his head and said.

"That's what troubles me. The enemy army disappeared only after entering the city, which shows that their combat effectiveness is stronger than ours. The loss of Changzhou is sooner or later, and now that the enemy is missing, our army should close the city gates and recuperate. But the fear is that there is fraud. That's what she struggled with.

"Your Majesty, the minister has received an urgent report. This matter is very important, and he immediately entered the palace to ask the emperor for a ruling. Liu Tingyu was also helpless.

"Summoning loyal ministers to the Taiwei Hall for discussion." She twisted the "hot potato" in her hand.

The rain outside the hall was still falling, and the ministers in the Taiwei Hall frowned.

Shangshu's left servant shot Qi Yun and Zhang Chao to come: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

At this moment, she seemed to have grabbed a rope hanging on the cliff: "Qi Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is the general trend of the world, and Changzhou lives on the border between the two countries. It's a fortress. Now that the army of Yulin Kingdom has disappeared in Changzhou, their strength must have suffered a lot of losses. Although our army suffered many casualties, it still had 100,000 elite soldiers. Now there is a famine south of the capital, and the minister thinks that the emperor will post a list to recruit soldiers, and those who come to join the army can receive food for the whole family. This part of the ration was paid by Changzhou Fu. Qi Yunzhang said slowly.

"Slow, Lord Qi is recruiting soldiers and levying rations, what do you mean?" Liang Jing interrupted Qi Yunzhang's words.

"Prime Minister don't worry, now that the 100,000 army is going to march north, all the soldiers and horses in Changzhou will go out of the city. At this time, there were not enough soldiers to guard Changzhou, so they had to recruit soldiers. The minister heard that the soldiers and horses of the Yulin Kingdom in Changzhou City were missing at the gate of the city, and those rich merchants who ran away from Changzhou went out of the city not far and returned home, they were afraid that the soldiers and horses of the Yulin Kingdom were pretending to disappear, and their homeland was difficult to leave. Being at the border is frightened, and it is inevitable to be harassed by neighbors on weekdays. Now as long as the imperial court wants to march north, it will be exempted from all worries. At the same time, the Western Expedition siphoned out the soldiers and horses of Changzhou, and it was necessary to recruit soldiers, and the recruited soldiers had to be trained and fed, and the cost was very large. Naturally, someone has to come out with this money. Otherwise, the treasury will raise elite soldiers in the north, and there will be starvation in the south. Prime Minister, what do you think of this plan? Qi Yunzhang poured out all the countermeasures.

Liang Jing twisted his beard and didn't speak, and everyone was also thinking.

"I think it's possible. The north must be fought, and the territory of Ningfu will not fight for a point, and it will only get smaller and smaller under my rule. Now the general trend is ahead, and it is all in one go. She was relieved.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be considered in the long run." The old ministers present dissuaded in unison.

"There's no way back. The Ministry of War immediately drafted a book to recruit troops, as Qi Aiqing said. I want to send a messenger to Changzhou to deal with the matter of military rations. She stood up from the dragon chair in the main hall and said eagerly.

"Your Majesty, this is a dangerous move that is not to be discussed." There was a stop at the bottom of the stairs.

"Conservative or dead. I want to be a wise monarch who creates a prosperous era, not a faint monarch who guards half of the territory. Qi Yunzhang, I ordered you to go to Changzhou to collect grain. The decree was given immediately. "She's made up her mind.

"Obey." Qi Yunzhang knelt on the ground.

At the end of the discussion, the ministers all retreated, and Liang Jing did not leave for a long time.

"Teacher, I have something to say." She walked down the steps to Liang Jing.

"The minister still has to persuade the emperor. Now that the famine is in full swing, the emperor should not take the initiative to go out if he can stop the war. The Feather Forest Country is not so easy to fight against. Now that the national strength of my Ningfu is not as good as before, there will be internal friction in the war. Liang Jing bowed his body and advised.

"Teacher, you have followed the first emperor to defend the territory for half your life, and now whether the battle of Changzhou is retreating or advancing depends on my thoughts." She was embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and only the emperor has the duty of safety. At that time, the first emperor and Yulin Guo fought against the two armies, and then they were in a coma for several years until they died. The minister was worried that the emperor was in danger. Liang Jing persuaded earnestly.

"Teacher, I'm fine. If the general trend is in front of us today, the teacher is relaxed. I'm not afraid that he Yulin Kingdom will dare to move my hair. It's late at night, and the teacher should take care of himself. Liang Rui is on the front line, and it is my duty to take care of the teacher. I sent someone to send the teacher back to the Prime Minister's Mansion safely. Teacher please. She greeted Liang Jing and left the Taiwei Palace.
