66. Loneliness is the king

Liang Rui handed her a glass of sweet wine: "Try it, I remember that you used to drink this the most, several times I asked my uncle to bring it back, you said it was delicious, the one you bought here may not be as good as your hometown, but it can be regarded as satisfying." Try! ”

She smelled the sweet smell in the air, which reminded her of the past, and happily took the glass of sweet wine, and couldn't help but take a big sip, refreshing: "You really know me best."

"yes, it's much better than them!" Liang Rui couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Not really, tell me, what do I want to give you?" She expected that Liang Rui would ask her.

"Then the emperor won't blame me, put these away and leave. Think of people as something. Liang Rui was really angry.

"Alright, alright, I'm just kidding." She smirked.

"The emperor did it on purpose, and the minister should put these away." Liang Rui made a gesture to put away the things on the table.

"Okay, tomorrow you will lead the troops to Changzhou, and I will accompany you to have a few more drinks tonight. I wish you a speedy victory. She lifted the flask and filled the quilts for her and Liang Rui.

Liang Rui raised his glass: "The emperor is waiting for the triumphant return of the ministers in the capital."

"Okay." She was very relieved that Liang Rui had become someone who could help her.

Before they knew it, the crescent moon was falling to the horizon, and they realized that the night had passed like this.

"Go back and rest, and in two or three hours it will be time to go. I will also rest for a while, and then I will personally send you off on the expedition. "She's already getting a little drunk.

"Well, it is really a minister's luck to be able to talk to the emperor alone for one night. I really didn't think I'd ever see you again. Liang Rui was a little sentimental.

"Everything in the world has its own fate, and I believe that you can return victorious. When the leader of the enemy army is caught alive, I will interrogate him myself. She had a serious countenance.

"Obey the order, the minister retires." Liang Rui lifted the food box and staggered away.

She sat on the stone bench in the pavilion before she felt a chill.

On the fifth watch day in early spring, the fog was cold, and she couldn't help but shiver.

When she returned to the palace, she fell asleep on the bed, and when Ning Rong came to wake her up, it was almost noon.

"Your Majesty, today's army is on the march, and the ministers have been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, and I saw that the emperor has not yet arrived, so I will enter the palace to have a look. The palace people said that you and Liang Rui drank wine last night and fell asleep, and they didn't dare to come in and wake you up. Ning Rong said while helping her make sobering tea.

"Last night, I summoned important ministers into the palace to discuss state affairs, and after the end, Liang Rui stopped me at the palace gate and drank a few glasses after chatting. I didn't want the sweet wine to have a lot of stamina, so I was drunk. She and Ning Rong had nothing to talk about.

Ning Rong is soft and skillful, she can do everything, she really doesn't lose to a man or a daughter, it's a pity that it's a pity to spend on me.

The plan set by the imperial uncle and the queen mother, how can she argue with it.

Pity Ning Rong for such a good daughter.

After she changed into her court clothes, Ning Rong served her and drank a cup of sobering tea, and then hurried to the palace gate.

A group of ministers stood on the edge of the frozen and melted palace city and waited in a queue, a group of troops lined up majestically on the large field, Liang Rui led a white horse, wearing a cold iron armor, shimmering in the warm day.

"I'm a step too late, so I've been waiting for a long time." She was apologetic.

"Greetings to the Holy Driver." The waiting crowd and the army fell to their knees.

"Flat." She lifted Liang Jing, who was closest to her.

"The emperor goes to the city tower, the cold has not subsided, the ground is frozen and spring, and it is still cold!" Liang Jing was flattered.

"It's okay, I'm so young, all Aiqing are old, everyone can bear this cold, and I'm still in good shape. Let's go and send General Liang Rui. She passed through the crowd and came to the gate of the city, where the chamberlain followed her with a plate of wine.

"See the emperor." Liang Rui hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"General Liang, please get up." She helped Liang Rui up.

"Serve the wine." At her command, the chamberlain brought the wine plate.

"General, please." She picked up the first cup and handed it to Liang Rui.

Liang Rui hurriedly took it: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

She picked up the second cup on the plate: "I and the general drink this cup to the fullest, I wish the general a triumphant return as soon as possible, and I and the other ministers are waiting for the general's victorious return." ”

"The minister will definitely live up to expectations." Liang Rui raised his glass and drank the spirits in the glass.

I don't know why she always feels that today's drink is different from yesterday's, and there is a kind of pain from a strong man's broken wrist.

In a sense, this is the first time she has personally sent a large army to the battle, and the leader of the army turned out to be Liang Rui.

She drank a strong glass of wine, and she was drunk again.

Liang Rui put the wine glass into the wine plate, got up and crossed the horse and turned around.

It was as if she had only seen it on the screen before.

In her heart, she began to pray that Liang Rui would return as soon as possible.

Sometimes people know each other for a moment, even if they have never known each other before, this moment is enough.

After sending Liang Rui away, she returned to the palace to review the fold, which was full of more than 3,000 copies, from all over Ningfu Kingdom. However, there are as many as 1,500 copies in Changzhou, all of which are in an emergency. In other places, there is no grain to collect, there is a war ahead, and the rice and grain in the south of the Yangtze River are used for marching and fighting, where to allocate grain to supply other places outside the south of the Yangtze River.

She had to think about how to survive this famine year.

Last year's locust plague caused a lack of harvest in various places. This joint eye, it is indeed hungry.

No matter how stupid she is, she also knows that if there is a famine and hunger, there is still a war in front of her, and she will rebel. If the emperor left it alone, he would have to let it go and let the angry people overthrow him.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Ning Rong handed her a bowl of ginger soup.

"I would like to ask if there is a lack of harvest in various places, but what is still a good harvest. You have brought me a copy of this year's harvest table of Ningfu Kingdom, and I want to see if I can find a way to find a way from it. Now farming does not rely on greenhouses, and it really depends on the sky to eat. In her heart, she planned to promote greenhouse planting throughout Ningfu.

I don't know if the idea will work here, but it's true that straw can keep you warm.

"Your Majesty, this is a whole list of this year's annual receipts. You drink ginger soup, and the concubine will read it to you. Ning Rong came to her with a thick notebook.

"You're tired too, let me look through it myself, and take a break. I've been taken care of by you these days, and you're tired, and I have some right-hand man. By the way, what has Yufan been doing lately? You ask Gonggong Li to find him, I still have something for him to do. She drank a sweet and greasy ginger tea.

"Yufan, the emperor, you forgot, she is only twelve years old." Ning Rong couldn't help but be surprised.

"I intend to make him a prince. I didn't ask your opinion beforehand, and your father was there yesterday, and it was a matter of national affairs, and it was all in secret. She looked at Ning Rong and explained.

"Your Majesty, the situation of you and I should be separated sooner or later, but you don't have to treat the concubine as a wife, otherwise the concubine will be reluctant to leave the emperor when the time comes. I'm the only one in the harem, and you don't want me to embarrass me, and you don't want to make the court ugly. I understand your decision. It's just that the prince is still young, will the emperor be in a hurry to do this. Ning Rong said.

"I want to reform the system and revitalize the country, I am afraid that one day there will be an accident, so that Yufan can be justified." She also wants to remove the estrangement between her and her ministers, so as to make things easier for her.
