She ran a few steps quickly, stopped again, and looked at Liang Rui, who was standing at the door of the imperial study with her back to her, but stopped again: Liang Rui came back, after he came back to see her, would he not want to leave? A good man has ambitions in all directions, and he still bears the unification of his family and country on his shoulders. Didn't she work so hard just to give her and him a long-term plan?

She stood under the acacia tree, the bright red petals of the branches quietly falling on the top of her head, she stood under the tree and secretly made a ruthless heart, and was about to turn back to the dormitory to make another plan, when she saw a little eunuch coming towards her from a distance.

"The slave has seen the emperor." The little eunuch saw her from afar and hurriedly saluted.

"Come here." She beckoned to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch hurriedly came to her: "I don't know what the emperor commands?" ”

"You go to the door of the imperial study and tell Qi Yunzhang and Liang Rui who are waiting, and say that I will summon Qi Yunzhang to see the palace pavilion alone, Liang Rui will go home from the palace first, and I will summon you later." She pointed to the door of the imperial study and said to the little eunuch.

"Yes, slave and maid will do it." The little eunuch took the order and left.

She threw up her sleeves and walked back to the dormitory, walking briskly: if she had to see it, she had to be gone, she had more concern and less morale, and the heroes were mostly tender.

Ascending to the lookout platform of the dormitory, the surrounding palaces are in front of her, and this situation and this scene make her feel how much life is human and wrong.

The former Ningfu Forbidden Palace has experienced many ups and downs in more than ten years, and she just wants to see a stable situation.

If it weren't for the fact that the blood of the Ning family's royal family flowed in her heart and made her see the responsibility of Zhenbang Anguo, she might really leave the Ning Mansion with Liang Rui and escape to the mountains.

"The old minister Qi Yunzhang has seen the emperor." When her mind wandered, Qi Yunzhang had already appeared behind her.

"Qi Aiqing went to Changzhou, all the way to Changzhou, I should thank you." The moment she saw Qi Yunzhang, her emotions fluctuated a little.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has fulfilled his mission and thoroughly investigated the whereabouts of the military supplies. It has fallen into the hands of the Feather Forest Kingdom. The soldiers and horses of the Yulin State that disappeared at the gate of Changzhou City before are still alive. But what makes the ministers strange is that they are all safe and sound, and their strength is also strong, why did they withdraw their troops? The minister wanted to find out about this matter and then return to Beijing to resume his life, but the soldiers from all walks of life had already arrived. Grain and grass have also arrived in Changzhou one after another. The situation of the Northern Expedition was already very good, and the ministers did not dare to delay. Qi Yunzhang reported to her in a long and short story.

Yulin country retreated? No! There shouldn't be a fraud, right?

"Your Majesty, the whole country has to send it for the sake of the northern expedition. Lao Chen wants to see the recovery of the north and the unification of the world in the ancient years. Qi Yunzhang bowed in front of her.

"I have you old ministers to keep my Ningfu country, and then I have to rely on your blood to unify the country. Qi Aiqing went back to rest first, and I thought about where to start with the Northern Expedition. She helped Qi Yunzhang up.

Qi Yunzhang stood up straight: "Your Majesty, the minister and General Liang Rui, the commander of the Northern Expedition, returned to Beijing together, and I wanted the two of them to come to see the emperor together." The emperor only summoned the old ministers, and General Liang was still waiting at the door of the imperial study, so why not call him over to discuss it together. He's the manager and only he knows a lot of details. ”

"Liang Rui, I will be summoned later, Qi Aiqing is worried about state affairs, but she still has to take care of her body. Let's go back to the house and rest. She didn't want Qi Yunzhang to shake the selfish thoughts in her heart.

"The old minister retired." Qi Yunzhang saw that she had her own opinions, so he leaned over and retreated.

After Qi Yunzhang left, she stood on top of the lookout pavilion and looked at the palace in the distance to recall the past, and couldn't help herself for a long time. She was still acceptable to be close to her for power, territory, and throne, but a heavy affection was placed in front of her, making her unable to look directly at his existence.

A man's personal affection is his weakness, a woman's personal affection is a hard injury, the world's most powerful weapon comes from this invisible sword, she has to make a choice for this.

Summer is coming, and everything is in full bloom. It is a season of vigorous vitality, and the impulse to war comes from the boiling of blood. There is no turning back from the beginning of this battle, and once it is successful, the bones will wither, so that's it.

The wind on the lookout pavilion passed through the roof of the imperial city, blowing her dragon robe, crumbling the crown in front of her, and blowing her heart.

The wind in the imperial city and the wind in Changzhou are the same wind from now on, and the wind in the world can only blow for the heart of an emperor like her.

She got off the lookout pavilion and returned to the dormitory, sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, Yun Wan brought her the dried fruit tribute and Ming Qian spring tea that were abundant in the south of the Yangtze River this year when the ice and snow melted, the fresh aroma of the tea rhyme and the aroma of a plate of delicious dried fruits touched the tip of her nose to relieve the panic in her heart.

"Your Majesty, the slave seems to have something on your mind when she sees you today." Yun Wan waited aside.

"I'm fine, I just want to be alone." She sent Yun Wan to retreat.

Yun Wan was also smart, and quietly retreated, leaving her alone in the quiet hall, thinking about whether Liang Rui, who was waiting in the imperial study, should be summoned.

The night Liang Rui was ordered to go to Changzhou last time, the words they said while drinking and the edict of the Northern Expedition arrived in Changzhou, and he rushed back overnight to break into the palace, I don't know if he was playing with fire or she was hoarding firewood.

She was the emperor, and when she decided to start changing the status quo of the Ningfu Kingdom, she decided that she wanted to be the emperor. The emperor also has the emperor's difficulties.

With a cup of tea and a plate of dried fruits, it is better to summon Liang Rui into the Xuan Tea Pavilion for a secret talk and tell him about his difficulties.

But how do you say this?

"Come on, set up the Xuan Tea Pavilion, and bring these together." Changzhou is about to go to war, and it is still unknown how much silver the treasury will pay.

The Mingde Palace Xuan Teahouse was as quiet as ever, she deliberately stood in front of the windowsill opposite the bamboo forest where she found someone having a secret meeting late the night before yesterday and looked carefully, waiting for the waiter to bring Liang Rui over.

"Minister Liang Rui see the emperor." While she was reading, Liang Rui appeared.

She turned around and helped Liang Rui up: "General Liang, please get up quickly." I invited the General to this secluded place for tea. Don't be inhibited. ”

The two of them come and go like this, and it seems a little angry.

The two sat opposite each other, each without saying a word in the scent of steamy tea.

The water in the pot was boiling on the charcoal fire, she took a few tea buds and put them into the round-bellied white porcelain pot, lifted the water in the pot, scalded the boiling water into the pot, and covered the pot.

"How are the preparations for the Northern Expedition in Changzhou?" She asked, breaking the silence.

"The missing quarters are being replenished, the food and grass are in place, and the soldiers are gathered from all over the country. But the minister thinks that the northern expedition is very important, why doesn't the emperor think about it anymore? Liang Rui replied truthfully.

The water in the pot was poured out by her: "Now the famine in the country is serious, the treasury is not much money and silver, and the south of the Yangtze River is abundant, but compared with the vast vast wilderness of the north, the Central Plains is a battleground for battle." ”
