Chapter 22 Meet the Emperor

Marshal Longcheng Mansion, inside the Qingming Courtyard. Long Ming was walking with Lu'er, and now Lu'er's stomach was slightly bulging, she gently leaned on Long Ming, with a happy face. Since the last time she got along with Helian Ziyun, she gradually felt the warmth of her family, and she didn't have to worry about anything anymore. Helian Ziyun can be so reasonable, Long Ming is also greatly relieved, if they continue to make trouble, I really don't know how to deal with it. For Lu'er, Long Ming didn't know if he really loved her, but when he saw Lu'er's pitiful appearance, he was easy to soften, and couldn't help but take care of it, he took Lu'er's little hand and said softly: "Lu'er, I've been busy refining pills these days, and I haven't been able to accompany you well, how do you feel now?"

"It's okay, I'm fine, you concentrate on refining medicine, don't be distracted and worry about me. Lu'er smiled.

"I'm also reading some books on refining tocolytics, and I'll find a way to refine them for you then. Long Ming said.

"Really?" Lu'er looked up at Long Ming, "Brother Ming, you are so good to me, Sister Yunyun won't be angry." ”

"Silly girl. Long Ming scratched her nose with his fingers and said, "How can Yunyun be angry, aren't you already good sisters?"

"How do you know I'm not going to be angry?" Helian Ziyun was already standing behind them at some point.

Long Ming and Lu'er hurriedly turned their heads, and Long Ming said, "Yunyun, why are you elusive?"

Helian Ziyun glanced at him and said, "Hmph, what, did I disturb you?"

Lu'er said, "Sister Yunyun, are you really angry?"

Helian Ziyun smiled at her: "How could it be." After speaking, he went to pull Long Ming's hand, "Husband, I'll tell you good news." ”

Long Ming was stunned: "What good news?"

Helian Ziyun smiled: "I was a little unwell just now, and my mother showed me, and she said that I was pregnant." ”

Long Ming was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Helian Ziyun said: "If you don't believe it, go ask your mother." ”

Long Ming excitedly took Helian Ziyun and Lu'er's hands and said, "Okay, let's go and ask Mother together." ”

Lu'er bit her lip and didn't speak, Helian Ziyun asked, "What's wrong with Sister Lu'er, aren't you happy?"

Hearing this, Lu'er hurriedly said: "Ah! No, I want to congratulate my sister, I don't know what to say for a while." ”

Long Ming pulled them and said with a smile as he walked: "I'm happy now, don't make trouble." ”

Helian Ziyun twisted him and said, "Who is making trouble." ”

Long Ming endured the pain and said, "Okay, no trouble, let's go find my mother." ”

As soon as they approached the courtyard gate, they saw Huamei, Long Shan and Liu Mei'er walking in, Huamei saw Long Mingxing rushing to take the hands of the two daughters-in-law, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Oh, Ming'er, slow down, where are you going?"

Long Ming fainted with joy, forgetting that Lu'er was pregnant, and Yunyun might also be happy, so he immediately stopped and said, "Mother, I'm so excited, Yunyun just said that she was pregnant, I was just going to ask you if it's true?"

"You. Huamei glanced at Long Ming with a little reproach and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

After walking to the pavilion and sitting down, Long Ming asked eagerly, "Mother, is it true, are you wrong?"

Huamei said: "How could I be mistaken, Yunyun is indeed pregnant, you are already about to become a father, why are you still so frizzy." ”

Long Ming had to smile bitterly when he heard this.

Hua Mei then said: "In addition, I have to tell you the good news, I see that Liu Mei'er is also pregnant. ”

Hearing this, Long Fist jumped up and said, "How come I don't know about such a big thing." ”

Liu Mei'er glanced at the dragon fist and said, "Didn't you tell you, what are you doing in a daze." ”

"I just didn't think of it. Dragon Fist sat down again and laughed.

"Alright. Hua Mei's expression suddenly became very serious: "You two brothers must take good care of your wives in the future, otherwise I will not spare you." ”

"Yes, Mother. Seeing Huamei like this, Long Shan and Long Ming only replied seriously.

"It's a pity that your father is not here, otherwise he would have been happy. Huamei suddenly sighed.

"Mother, wouldn't you be just as happy when your father came back and saw a few more grandchildren?" said Liu Mei'er, sitting beside Hua Mei.

"Yes, Mother. Lu'er also comforted.

"That's right. Huamei smiled, looked at her beautiful daughters-in-law, and said, "How do you feel now?"

"I don't feel anything now, isn't it very troublesome to get pregnant, I'm so afraid that it will affect my figure after giving birth, sister-in-law Mei'er, you have given birth to a child and your figure is so good, how did you get pregnant before?" Helian Ziyun said a little worriedly.

"It's so complicated, you don't have to worry. Liu Meier said.

"Yes, Sister Yunyun, I feel like there is a little life growing in my belly now, and sometimes it moves. "Green Road.

"You don't have to think nonsense, just ask me if you don't understand anything. "Hua Mei said.

......

These women chatted all of a sudden, Long Fist and Long Ming couldn't interject at all, Long Fist stood up helplessly and said: "Mother, you talk first, I have something to discuss with Brother Ming." ”

Huamei didn't even look at him, and snorted, and pulled up with her daughters-in-law again.

Long Quan and Long Ming walked out of the Qingming Courtyard, and Long Quan said, "Brother Ming, how is your elixir refined?"

"Would you like to try one? Long Ming took out a medicine bottle.

"Brother Ming, you are really powerful, you have refined it so quickly, but I don't need to use it now, this thing has side effects. The dragon fist snatched the bottle, unscrewed it and sniffed.

"Hehe, if you don't try it, how do I know if I've succeeded in refining, and what if it's invalid. Long Ming smiled.

"Damn, Brother Ming, don't you want me to do the experiment?"

"I'll find a way to test it again" Long Ming snatched back the bottle and said, "You were so good in the suspension sound, why did you suddenly run back?"

"The city wall of the Hanging Yin Pass has been repaired, and there is no change in the Xinye Empire, in addition, you can go to Tianxuan Academy to recruit troops in a few days, I will come back to prepare, and I will also call you to go with me by the way." "Dragon Boxing.

"Do you need to come back and call me?" Long Ming said.

"Haha, I heard that there are a lot of beauties in Tianxuan Academy, and you left a lot of affection there, so if you don't come back to call you, what if you don't go. "Dragon Boxing.

"Beauty has nothing to do with me, but there's a teacher there who calls me space magic, and I haven't been to see him for a long time, so I should take a trip. Long Ming said.

"Oh, Brother Ming, you don't understand this, what is the matter with you, let me tell you......"

Just when the dragon fist was happy, Longshan and Princess Ming Yao and others had arrived in the Ming Imperial City, all the way unimpeded, and now to the most prosperous city in the country is also the city gate is wide open, Long Shan with people and horses one after another into the Ming Imperial City, this imperial capital is really full of people, a prosperous scene. Long Shan planned to arrange the troops brought by him in the residence of the Long family in the imperial city, although the Long family has been guarding the border and has also built a marshal's mansion in the dragon city, but there is still the original residence of the Long family in the imperial city. The Ming Dragon Empire was built when it was founded, because the Long family had been fighting at the border for generations, and the Marshal's Mansion in this imperial city had never been inhabited. But His Majesty the Ming Emperor sent someone to take care of the Long family all the time, and now Longshan can live directly in it, just when Longshan settled the people, someone had already reported that His Majesty the Ming Emperor had arrived, so His Majesty the Ming Emperor immediately sent someone to recruit them into the palace. Now that the princess has not returned to the palace, Longshan received the holy decree of the officials, explained some related matters to several adjutants, and then went to the palace with Princess Ming Yao to meet His Majesty Emperor Ming.

His Majesty the Emperor Ming is now discussing with the ministers, after learning that Longshan and the princess have entered the imperial city, they are eager to announce their entry into the palace, and the ministers are also very eager to see the marshal who has been fighting on the frontier, with the shouting of the informant, Longshan and others slowly approached the meeting hall, everyone in the hall looked at the door, under the gaze of everyone, Long Shan, Zhang Zhong and Princess Ming Yao walked into the meeting hall, the three of them knelt down, Long Shan said: "Weichen Longshan." ”

Zhang Zhong said: "Weichen Zhang Chong." ”

The princess said, "Erchen Mingyao." ”

The three of them shouted in unison: "Meet Your Majesty!"

Emperor Ming raised his hand and said, "Get up, you guys came all the way, I wanted you to rest first, but I didn't retreat this morning, so I called you first." ”

The three of them stood up, and Long Shan said: "Weichen set off from the princess after getting His Majesty's will, and traveled all the way, Weichen is nothing, just tired the princess Jin Zhi Yuye." ”

Emperor Ming glanced at Princess Ming Yao and said, "Yaoyao, thank you for your hard work, you go and sit down next to you first." ”

"Father, my sons are not tired. Ming Yao said.

"Sit down. Emperor Ming asked the maid to bring a stool, and Ming Yao had to go over and sit down.

"Longshan, you have been fighting at the border pass, and you haven't been to the Imperial City for ten years. Emperor Ming continued: "The barbarian has been causing trouble at the border in recent years, thanks to your guard, I have been able to make the country of the Minglong Empire peaceful, I heard that there was a big battle with the Mind Empire not long ago, and the marshal was seriously injured, I don't know how the injury is now?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Hearing this, Long Shan said: "Weichen is fine, it is common to be injured on the battlefield." It's just that Weichen doesn't know, now it's an eventful time, why did His Majesty recruit Weichen back. ”

"Ahem. His Majesty Emperor Ming coughed twice and said: "Looking for you to come back, I naturally have something important to tell you, I must have told you that I am not in good health now, and there have been many affairs in recent years, if it were not for Yaoyao and the prime minister to share my worries, I really feel a little powerless, so this time I came back to tell you that I will hand over some affairs to Yaoyao and Prime Minister Murong Hei, including your border decision-making." ”

Long Shan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and immediately glanced at Murong Hei who was standing next to him, only to see that this person's face did not change, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, and he had little contact with this person over the years, because this person rarely interfered in military affairs, but this person was in a high position and had a high prestige in the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, fighting on the frontier is not child's play, what is needed is experience. Long Shan opened his mouth and said: "And the princess and the prime minister have never been in contact with military affairs, is your majesty's decision too hasty?"

His Majesty Emperor Ming said: "Then in your opinion, who should handle the affairs of the frontier?"

Long Shan immediately replied: "Your Majesty, for many years, Weichen has always reported directly to you in the border war, and the materials and personnel required are also directly approved by you, just because these are important matters related to the victory or defeat of the war and national security, if there is a delay, the consequences are unimaginable, if Your Majesty believes in Weichen, it is better to directly hand over to Weichen to be responsible." ”

"Your Excellency, Marshal. Murong Hei, who was standing on the side, finally spoke: "You are far away on the border, and you can't keep abreast of the situation in the Imperial City and other provinces, how can you make decisions on some things." ”

"What the Prime Minister said is true. The dragon god glanced at Murong Hei again and said, "These affairs can only be decided by His Majesty, and it may not be a good thing to do too much as a courtier." ”

Murong Hei suddenly smiled when he heard this, and said, "Of course, what I do is only subject to His Majesty's arrangement, but what explanation did the marshal make for His Majesty's full responsibility for just now? Besides, Your Majesty said that this is the responsibility of me and the princess, not me alone. ”

Long Shan sneered in his heart, this person is really not an idle person, it seems that he has been prepared for this matter for a long time, the princess, this little girl is jointly responsible for you, and she will not be played with by you at that time.

Long Shan bowed his hand to Emperor Ming and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter." ”

Emperor Ming breathed heavily, sighed and said: "The marshal is too worried, in fact, you don't know, in the past few years, I have involved Yaoyao and the prime minister in border matters, and the decisions in the past few years have been made by them, and you know how to do it, there is nothing wrong with it." And they didn't just deal with the matter of the Hanging Sound Pass, including the Wind and Rain Province side was also doing a good job, although there were not many battles there, but I could see their ability to do things. ”

Hearing this, Long Shan frowned, it seemed that the situation had developed to the point of irreversibility, and said: "Since Your Majesty has already decided like this, Weichen has nothing to say, I don't know what the adults here think about this matter?"

The hall was bustling with discussion, but there was no opposition. After a while, His Majesty Emperor Ming raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, all quiet down, this matter has been decided, and there is nothing to discuss." ”

After a pause, he looked at Longshan and said, "Marshal Longshan, you just arrived in the Imperial City today, after this matter is decided, you will stay for a while and talk to Yaoyao and the Prime Minister about your border pass." If nothing happens, that's all for today. ”

After speaking, all the ministers retreated one after another, and Long Shan sighed helplessly, and said to His Majesty Emperor Ming: "In this case, Weichen will go back to the Marshal's Mansion first." ”

After Long Shan left, Princess Ming Yao and Prime Minister Murong Hei in the hall looked at Emperor Ming, and Murong Hei said: "Your Majesty, judging from Long Shan's reaction just now, he is likely to have selfish intentions." ”

Emperor Ming coughed, stood up, and said, "Long Shan's reaction does seem to be a bit arrogant, but that doesn't mean that he is disloyal. ”

Princess Ming Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Father, your body is not safe, it's better not to move." ”

Emperor Ming waved his hand at her, signaling that it was okay. The princess said again: "Erchen also thinks that Marshal Longshan is not disloyal, after all, what happened just now shocked him too much, and it is normal for him to react a little excitedly. ”

Murong Hei said with a smile: "How can Longshan show his feet so easily, I hope Your Majesty is better to be careful." ”

Emperor Ming said: "Now leave him down to observe, Yaoyao is tired when he just returned, let's go back and rest first, maybe things are not as bad as we thought." ”

Princess Ming Yao helped Emperor Ming and said, "Father, I'll help you go back first." ”

Murong Hei saluted, and after watching the two walk in, he also slowly turned around and walked out of the meeting hall.
