The clouds and rain disperse, and the rain returns. The two who have been trapped by lovesickness for a long time have finally reached harmony in countless sublimations. Seeing that the beauty under him couldn't bear the grace of the wilderness, the unfinished Wufeng reluctantly got up from Angel.

"Fenglang, you are getting stronger and stronger, is there no one to accompany you when you go back to Yanjing this time?" Snuggled up to Ailang beside him, Angel, who was flushed, seemed to have not completely calmed down from **.

"Well, yes, aren't the two outside?" Wu Feng rubbed the jade man beside him to his heart's content, while savoring this rare happiness.

"You said that Frost Shadow and that Gu family girl, I don't think the two of them were able to get their hands on them! Why, our famous love saint also missed?" said with a coquettish smile.

"Hmph, don't say that, I'm not the kind of guy you say you are. Wu Feng argued.

"Hmph, I didn't read today's newspaper, the whole page is about you, I think this Yanjing is about to set off a wave of idol worship for you. How many girls in Yanjing now hope to win your favor, they are young and handsome, and they have been promoted to the youngest duke in the empire, and they hold the military and political power in the two major regions of the empire, and their future is limitless, and they have not yet been married, whether it is those civilian girls or those noble daughters, who doesn't want to marry into the family of Duke Yum?" Angel said faintly.

Feeling the emotions in the heart of the jade person, Wu Feng put his arm around the jade man, "Although I don't want to get married yet, you will never be able to run away, you are definitely my woman, no one can snatch it away, and I will always have you in my main house." ”

The marriage customs of the empire are a little peculiar, combining the customs of the Tang people in the Eastern Continent and the Silan people in the Central Continent, probably due to the influence of the founding emperor of the empire, Situ Fengguang, the mother of Situ Fengguang at that time was the Silan people from the Central Continent. Scholars above the rank of Marquis were allowed to marry four wives, and nobles above the Duke were allowed to marry eight wives, but in fact, the nobles in the empire were still accustomed to marrying one or two wives, and rarely more than three.

Hearing Wufeng's words, Angel's heart suddenly became much more steady, she also knew that her Ailang was ambitious, and lustful, but the customs and habits of the upper class society of the entire empire and even the entire continent were like this, she was not dissatisfied, but so far Wufeng has not officially brought himself to a formal social occasion, and the most important thing is that he has never expressed his willingness to marry himself in person, which makes her one of the three famous flowers of Yanjing high society a little lost, seeing that Ailang's career is like Zhongtian, and he has stayed in the northwest for a long time, but he has to stay in Yanjing for his career, all of which made Angel resentful. Today I finally heard Ailang's clear statement, although it was a clear time, but there was a word from his side, even if he was tired and tired, he was willing.

Gently resting her cheeks on Ailang's majestic chest, Angel closed her eyes and silently blessed her, hoping that this moment would stay forever.

However, the cruelty of reality cannot make the lovers indulge in sweet love more, what is hidden behind the peaceful surface? Just when Wu Feng and Angel are intoxicated with the love game of reunion, something is quietly happening in the palace at the heart of Yanjing.

Inside the Imperial Study. Eight uniquely shaped fish candles reflected the small imperial study room clearly, and Situ Mingyue slowly frowned while carefully reading the recitals presented by the ministers of the court.

A little eunuch stood by the door with a white jade whisk in his hand, his head bowed, and he didn't move. A thick brocade curtain kept the cold northwest wind out of the door, and a pot of flaming red charcoal was filled with bursts of warmth.

Gently putting down a piece of music, Situ Mingyue took a deep breath, stood up, slowly moved his somewhat numb body, and slowly paced in the study, as if thinking about something difficult.

Yes, Situ Mingyue does have a dilemma in his heart, since the early dynasty canonized Li Wufeng's duke title and appointed him as the governor of the Northern Luzon region, when he returned to the palace, he received many secret letters submitted by important ministers, and the content was similar, all of which asked him to limit Li Wufeng's power and influence and avoid the appearance of another person like Lin Guoxiong or Lang Yongquan. I didn't expect that his reward for meritorious deeds would cause such a backlash, which shows how much influence this Li Wufeng has on the ministers of the DPRK and China.

But this Li Wufeng has indeed made great achievements for the empire, and it can be said without boasting that even if he is a hundred years later, under the Jiuquan, he can proudly show off to the emperors, and he has had such a glorious page in his life, and when he ruled, the territory of the empire greatly expanded to the west, crossed the majestic Hengduan Mountain Range, and became a great empire that collapsed the Central and Eastern Continents. Based on this alone, even if Li Wufeng was given much reward, it would not be too much.

However, the ministers who presented the report were all their own humerus, and what they represented was not only themselves, but the most important thing was that the core of the problem reflected by several people was actually only one problem, that is, they were worried that with the expansion of Li Wufeng's power, it would affect the royal authority. This is also a question that I have been worried about but want to avoid repeatedly.

In particular, the remarks of Minister of the Interior Lu Wenfu can be said to be earnest in their words, detailed and sufficient in their arguments, and the problems reflected in them really shocked me, so that I had to force myself to suppress the feelings brought about by the Luzon incident and carefully examine this issue.

This Li Wufeng's steps were indeed a bit out of line, even signing a peace treaty with the Luope people, releasing prisoners of war, and other major events without reporting to the central government of the empire, and actively expanding the army, accepting ethnic minorities, and buying people's hearts, were all these just to consolidate the empire's rule in the northwest? Or did he have another ulterior motive of his own?

The more Situ Mingyue thought about it, the more upset she became, and she couldn't help but pick up the recital and read it carefully, falling into deep contemplation.

"Your Majesty. ”

"What's the matter?" Situ Mingyue, who woke up from his contemplation, glanced at the self-striking bell beside him, it was almost ten o'clock.

"The Minister of War, Lord He, asked to see him outside the Qingyuan Palace. ”

"Oh, Xuan he came to the imperial study to see me. ”

"How do you know that Qiu knocked to see Your Majesty. He Zhiqiu, who had a solemn face, stepped into the imperial study and bowed deeply.

"Calm down, He Aiqing, you see me late at night, but what are the big changes in the army?" Situ Mingyue asked with some concern.

"No, there is nothing else on the military side, and the minister is driving late at night, or for the sake of Li Wufeng this morning. He Zhiqiu looked at each other and said solemnly.

"Oh," Situ Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back, looking much more relaxed, "That's it, I thought it was the battle situation in the south that had changed again." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers do not think that this matter is insignificant, and in the humble opinion of the ministers, if this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be worse than the war in the south. He Zhiqiu's face turned a little pale.

Hearing what the always cautious Minister of War said, Situ Mingyue couldn't help but be stunned, "He Aiqing, are you exaggerating?"

"No, Your Majesty, the minister is absolutely not alarmist, if he doesn't pay attention to it again, the minister thinks that Li Wufeng will become the second Lin Guoxiong, and the harm is even greater. He Zhiqiu said word by word to show the intensity of his tone.

"If that's the case? Situ Mingyue's heart was shocked, and her face became heavy.

"Your Majesty! A few years ago, Li Wufeng was an ordinary wing-level officer, and with his meager merits during the Western Expedition, His Majesty made an exception to promote him to the city guard of Qingyang, but this person soon exposed his wolf ambitions. First of all, it created a situation, taking advantage of the unexpected death of the Jinzhou city guard, and sent troops to Jinzhou without authorization, which was the first to interfere in the internal affairs of neighboring prefectures and counties, and then created a fait accompli that forced the empire to recognize its actual control of Jinzhou. At the same time, he began to massively expand his army under the pretext of resisting the invasion of the Luopes, and broke the convention by recruiting a large number of Gaoyue barbarians into the army. And when there was a rebellion in the neighboring provinces of Guide and Bonan, he deliberately stood still, allowing the rebellion to spread, forcing the empire to appoint him as the military and political envoy of the northwest before sending troops to quell the rebellion. He Zhiqiu was a little excited.

"Do you have any evidence?" Situ Mingyue's face was gloomy.

"No, things have changed, and soon Golden State is under his control, and even if he wants to find any evidence, it is impossible. He Zhiqiu shook his head and said.

"Go on. Situ Mingyue didn't want to dwell on this matter.

"Now that his wings are not fully full, he ignores the authority of the empire and sends troops to foreign countries without authorization, and the minister does not want to explain anything about the consequences of this matter, but his move has made an extremely dangerous start, and now he is also the military and political chief of the two regions, and the military force he has does not count the garrison troops, and the regular army alone reaches nearly 150,000 people in six divisions, although it is not yet able to catch up with Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan in the south, but looking at its development momentum, I believe that it will surpass Lin Lang and two in the near future. He Qiqiu's words were full of worry.

Situ Mingyue's face was expressionless, and she just nodded slightly.

"In addition, during his tenure as the military and political envoy of the Northwest, Li Wufeng also reached a peace agreement with the Luope people without authorization, released the Luobei prisoners, and colluded with the Luope people to threaten the countries of the Western Regions, but turned a blind eye to the traitor Sun Yuanliang of Yinchuan Mansion in the north, and completely failed the hope of Your Majesty when you appointed him as the military and political envoy of the Northwest. He Zhiqiu knew that Yinchuan was an eternal pain in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, and he deliberately provoked this scar.

Sure enough, as soon as Yinchuan Mansion was mentioned, Situ Mingyue couldn't help but snort lightly, and her face became even more gloomy.

"I believe that this situation must not be allowed to continue, but that some measures should be taken to make amends. "I don't know much about striking while the iron is hot in autumn and making suggestions.

"But Li Wufeng took Northern Luzon for me, and even the treaty with the Grand Duchy of Luzon has been signed, and he has made such a great achievement, which is also a fact, how can I do everything I can to make the people and ministers of the world chill? He Aiqing, you see, several major news media in Yanjing have already published the 'Luzon Incident', and the crowd is excited and rave reviews, and the Zhongzhou Evening News has already published the appointment of Li Wufeng to promote Li Wufeng and appoint him as the governor of the northern Luzon region of the empire, what do you let me do?"

He Zhiqiu took the newspaper and read two at random, almost every newspaper published the details of the "Luzon Incident" on the front page, and also interviewed the person concerned, Li Wufeng, and said that he would follow up and report. After seeing this, He Zhiqiu couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly, this guy is really good at making a noise, and he hasn't faced the saint yet, and the reports have already come out.

"Your Majesty, this is nothing, the minister thinks that it is inappropriate and inappropriate to take any measures against Li Wufeng at this time, but the minister already has an idea and can solve this matter safely. He Zhiqiu saw that His Majesty the Emperor's tone had loosened a lot, and knew that Situ Mingyue had agreed with his opinion, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, and he confidently put forward his own ideas.
