62. I don't know what to say
She thought it would be over in a few words, but she didn't want Ning Rong to ask again: "The emperor is very worried today, and the ministers are worried that the emperor will not take good care of him outside." Prime Minister Liang Cheng instructed the ministers to accompany the emperor if it was feasible. ”
"No." She didn't even hesitate to refuse.
Ning Rong's eyes were full of spring waves: "The emperor has a thousand difficult and dangerous things, and the ministers are willing to go with him." Whether the emperor can know the heart of his ministers over the years. The minister is willing to follow the emperor all the time. ”
"I..." she saw Ning Rong and I felt pity, and what she wanted to say didn't know where to start for a while.
"The emperor knows the mind of his ministers over the years, so why not let the ministers stay with the emperor for more time. The minister is not divided, it's just..."Ning Rong said earnestly.
"Ning Rong, you are the daughter of my imperial uncle and my cousin. It stands to reason that you and I are close to each other as brothers and sisters, but we have children's hearts. I went out this time with the emperor's will, so I and Liang Rui, you are your daughter's family. Stay and help me and Yufan take care of the mountains and rivers. She had no choice but to take out the emperor's last order to presmear Ning Rong.
Seeing this, Ning Rong had no choice but to receive the order: "The minister receives the order, handle the government affairs with Yufan, take care of the queen mother, and wait for the emperor to return." ”
She was suddenly very moved, but she was a little disappointed in her heart: Ning Rong has been to her bit by bit over the years, and the heart that has stayed with her, she is afraid that she will live up to Ning Rong in this life.
Liang Rui waited outside the palace gate with ten soldiers who had done good work in the Imperial Forest Army, she trotted all the way to the palace gate, and left as soon as she saw Liang Rui, for fear of attracting the princes and ministers who lived in the nearby alleys, and the news agency disrupted her plan.
The reason why she went so resolutely this time was because she felt that she had fallen in love with Liang Rui, she and Liang Rui were both kings and ministers, and the old ministers in the court were very pedantic, I really wanted them to know that their high emperor was a princess, and she and Liang Rui had already secretly agreed, plus they were prejudiced against Liang Jing, she felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
The ice and snow on both sides of the official road are beginning to melt, and the scenery is really good. She has things in her heart, and she has no intention of being delicate on horseback. She looked sideways at Liang Rui riding behind, and there was a little more tenderness in her eyes.
Wait, wait for her to understand the affairs of Yulin Kingdom, wait for her to find out the cause of Ning Xizao's death, and she will stay with him.
Liang Rui looked at her who had changed into civilian clothes, and the love in his heart was budding: If he wasn't the emperor, I would like to believe that he was a gentle woman. Ever since he was a child, he had always felt like he was a girl...
Unconsciously, a group of two horses and twelve people had already walked out of Luoyang Town, a few miles away from the capital. The ice and snow were melting, and all the way down, people were cold and frozen, hungry and cold, so they had to find an inn to eat and rest first.
In the past, she thought that the capital was prosperous in ancient times, and the capital was a good place within a radius of hundreds of miles, and it must have been very lively, but now it seems that her perception is wrong.
The capital of Ningfu was built in the hinterland of the Central Plains in the north, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is located according to the mountains and rivers. Yulin Kingdom was unable to attack twice and three times, and made countless poisonous schemes, harming the first emperor Ning Xihu, and he could not let Ningfu Kingdom be destroyed by him for more than ten years, relying on this impregnable lofty mountains and long rivers.
Outside the capital of Ningfu, there are either mountains or wilderness, except for a few post stations set up by the government, inns and shops are almost none. It was also with great difficulty that they found a humble homestay at the foot of the mountain.
In the past few years, Ning Fuguo has been handed over to her, barely maintaining the stability of the government but the economy has not developed, and she obviously knows that she is not this material.
She stood in the small courtyard of the secluded B&B and looked at the mountains and rivers around her at sunset.
She finally understood what Liang Jing said to her, what is the well-being of the society, that is, to manage the people and the rule well, and no longer be greedy for fun.
Before, she was in the downtown area in the deep palace, looking like an emperor to see hundreds of good news and bad news a day, in fact, she was a little emperor in a corner of peace.
It's really chilling to think about it now!
"Childe, there is a charcoal fire in the house, go to the house to warm up. It's still cold, so be careful if you catch a cold. Liang Rui walked up to her and said softly.
"Do you think I've had a good time all these years, too freewheeling? I never knew that the people of these mountains and rivers were all under my rule, and there was no improvement at all. Now she has Liang Ruineng by her side to talk to her.
"I always thought that Childe shouldn't stay in the deep palace, and was blinded. In fact, you can't help yourself all these years, but those people are willing to let you listen to it and maintain stability. After all, it's better to maintain the status quo than not to be in control, but you've done it all these years, eating, playing, drawing, and playing. Now that you are out of their control, I will tell you secretly that I have quietly prepared an army of twenty thousand men. Speaking of the last two sentences, Liang Rui whispered in her ear.
"Liang..."She looked at Liang Rui in surprise.
"I didn't mean to deceive you, but... I'm afraid that one day you will be attacked by the ministers, so it's okay to deal with it. Liang Rui said in a low voice.
She saw the determination in his expression, this was another Liang Rui she knew.
"Forgive the ministers for their courage..."She thought that she and Liang Rui would leave the court and fly away, but she didn't want to...
"I get it." Her heart was entangled in her heart, if Liang Rui wanted to stand up for her, to save her power, and to sacrifice for her, would she go back firmly?
That day, Gu Ling came to tell her that the strange stone was not arranged. She looked at Liang Rui in front of her and was suspicious.
"Find out the cause of the emperor's death first, and your soldiers will come in handy. The turmoil of your collaboration with the enemy and treason is still there, and this 20,000-strong army alone can't shake anything. This power is kept on the side of Qingjun. When she left the capital of Ningfu, she had some plans not to go back.
Although she has lived a fine life over the years, this is not the life she wants, she wants the ideal life of "the desert is lonely, the sun sets on the long river", and she wants to "lie down and watch the plantain and listen to the sound of the rain".
Now Liang Rui wants to take her back to power, so she knows that she has discussed it with Liang Xiangfu when Gu Ling told her the cause of the first emperor's death.
She didn't know how much Liang Rui expected power in her heart, so she didn't dare to promise anything easily. Now she is still the king of Ningfu Kingdom, and she has no jokes.
"You haven't seen the scenery outside the city, Childe. The capital is prosperous, but outside the city is a mountain with mountains and rivers. Liang Rui walked down the wooden stack steps, stood at the bottom of the stairs and said.
"Yes, sit back and enjoy the wealth, sit back and enjoy the success." Only now did she understand that she was such an emperor in the eyes of her ministers.
From the moment she was born in the womb of Yun Niyi, she began to enter the fun life of giving her brocade clothes and jade food but being raised in the deep palace.
To this day, she still hasn't accepted this kind of life that has passed twelve or thirteen years, she still likes to be free in the simple streets and alleys, so this time as soon as the ministers are forced, she wants to abdicate and make way for Xian. Liang Rui told her that he had troops and wanted to strengthen the imperial power.
Born in the royal family, you can never get rid of such an identity.
"Back then, Tuo Gu asked his father to fight this old bone to assist the son, and the Liang family resisted the pressure of the court and the central government over the years to really support the son, so this time my father acquiesced to me doing this." Liang Rui leaned over and picked up a piece of dead grass.
"Don't think so absolutely when things are not a last resort, find the cause of the death of the first emperor as planned, and the rumors will be broken." She understood Liang Rui's mood at the moment.
"If one day there will be a usurper and seizure of power in Ningfu, the following offenders will be taken by the ministers and captured and rebellious." When Liang Rui said this, his eyes stared straight at her.
This is probably the first time she has met the new Liang Rui.
"Okay." She only replied with a good word, then rubbed her hands that were a little cold, and turned back and walked into the house.
The house was very simple, with only one chair covered with unprocessed animal skins, and a straw mat on the bed, and under the straw mat was made from the straw stored in the autumn harvest. Not far from the bed was a stuffy iron stove, probably the most luxurious treatment in this barren mountain.
Ningfu has an order on the supply of charcoal, and the daily stock of low-grade charcoal in ordinary people's homes shall not be higher than ten catties.
At this time when the early spring is just the beginning of spring, it is really precious to be able to use charcoal for heating in this place. Probably Liang Rui sent someone with him to bring it with him, so that she had this treatment.
Thinking of this, her heart warmed: she is an emperor, and there are very few people around her who are so close, even Ning Rong and her can't be so subtle as this. It's hard for him!
Next to the charcoal stove was a blackened wooden table with four or five bowls of various sizes on the table.
She stood on the edge of the table and gently lifted the gaiwan one by one, which contained several delicate dishes and a fragrant meal made of Ningfu tribute rice.
This Liang Rui, even Mi brought it for her! At this moment, she firmly believes that he is thinking about her everywhere.
Maybe it was Liang Jing who helped her to take the throne at the beginning, and now if she wants to rule the country and expand her territory to resist foreign enemies, let Liang Rui complete it for her, otherwise she has been sitting like a family member with an emperor at the mercy of her courtiers all these years, what real power can she have.
Maybe she was tired from traveling on a cold day, or maybe she was easy to get sleepy when she was full of food and drink and roasted a warm fire, and she couldn't stop staring at her eyelids as soon as she put down the dishes and chopsticks.
The dream was full of fragrant game and the smell of peach blossoms, and she stretched comfortably. With her feet, she felt that the touch was silky smooth, not the touch of straw mats and coarse cloth bedding. She opened her eyes and looked around, and it turned out to be in the sleeping palace of Ning Mansion.
"Someone, come on!" She panicked for a moment and couldn't help but shout.
Three or five palace maids walked in turn, followed by Ning Rong: "The emperor woke up, Commander Liang sent someone to send you back, and specially instructed you not to disturb when you are asleep, and you will naturally wake up when the time comes, don't alarm the queen mother." Ning Rong said.
"How did I get back?" She thought that Liang Rui secretly arranged it, letting her know that he supported the army and then sent her back as an ornament.
Over the years, she has been pushed to the throne and then shackled in the arrangement of the ministers, even if she occasionally goes out of the palace, she is not free, she thought that Liang Rui has always been loyal and knows her thoughts, but she is also arranged like this.
