It's late at night, there are still lights in the imperial study, and the new emperor Yu Mingche is still sleepless and reading the folds of the mountain.

In the candlelight, his figure was stretched very long, and Xiao Lizi, the eunuch who was waiting for him, walked over gently, added him a cup of new tea and said:

"Your Majesty, it's almost time, you better go to bed early, stay up like this, your dragon body is afraid that it won't be able to bear it."

"It's okay, if you're tired, go and rest first, I still have to finish reading these recitals, now although the floods in Lingnan have subsided, there are still a large number of displaced people who need to be resettled." Yu Mingche didn't look up, just continued to stare at the music in his hand and said lightly.

Xiao Lizi responded and was about to go out, but Yu Mingche called out to him:

"By the way, Qin Xiang didn't rest in the palace today?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Qin Xiang said that there was something at home today, and he had already gone back before dinner, Your Majesty, do you need to invite Qin Xiang into the palace now?"

"No, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xiao Lizi retreated, and Yu Mingche was the only one left in the huge palace, and the moonlight outside shone into the door of the main hall, but Yu Mingche no longer had the heart to review the folds, and walked outside the hall.

It has been almost half a year since the matter of the Tiantai, and Bai Xiaoshuang has searched for it several times, but there is no news from Yun'er.

She should have returned to Qingqiu, and the so-called Qingqiu is not a land that mortals can set foot on, if she doesn't show up, I'm afraid she will never be able to find her again.

But, Yun'er, do you know how much I miss you? Calculate the time, if you are mortal, I'm afraid it's almost time for the child to be born, are you okay? Is the child a boy or a girl? Is it like me or like you?

Could it be that a mortal like me is just an episode in your long life, you always said that the fox clan is a branch of the ancient god clan, and the vicissitudes of life in the long years are just a blink of an eye.

But why am I always so greedy, and little mortals are always greedy for that love affair with you?

Yu Mingche took out the hairpin from his arms, and carefully rubbed it with his hand, Mu Xiyun was like a dream of his, coming and going without a trace, but if it was a dream, why was he so awake?

And now, he can only meet her in his dreams, listen to her voice, see her smile, think about it, he turned around and walked back to the dormitory.

Today's early dynasty is particularly intense, although the flood in Lingnan has been calmed, but the situation in the Tianyuan country is still not optimistic, when Lu Shouguang usurped power, although he was not ashamed, but after all, he is still a native of the Tianyuan country, but now the royal family of the Tianyuan country has collapsed, and it has been collected as a belonging, but the state officials who have been on for several terms have always been unable to suppress large and small riots.

"Your Majesty, Tianyuan Prefecture is now my country's territory, and it has been changed from a state to a state, but the state officials have wasted energy in governance, and the outbreaks in various counties are endless, do you want to send a large army to suppress it again?" The soldier's squire stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the people of Yuanzhou really don't know what to do with it, Your Majesty personally eradicated the traitors for them, rebuilt the scorched earth, and appeased the people, but now they bite us back, and they should send troops to suppress it!" Another minister also stood up angrily and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, now that Tianyuan Prefecture has just experienced troubled times, and the people have just regained stability, if you send a large army to set foot again, I'm afraid that the land of this state will become a purgatory on earth, and a small chaos will eventually become a big chaos." One of the ministers also generously expressed his thoughts.

Yu Mingche has always felt a headache recently, and now his ears are even more painful from the shouts of the ministers, and he has often not rested well recently, and now his face is full of irritability and exhaustion.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please make a decision as soon as possible on the affairs of Tianyuan Prefecture, so as not to leave a disaster! These ministers looked at Yu Mingche's faceless and couldn't help shouting at him.

It was only with this shout that Yu Mingche woke up from his irritable headache, he sighed, and asked Wuwei, who had been silent in the audience:

"Qin Xiang, what do you think?"

As soon as Wuwei heard Yu Mingche shouting at him, he hurriedly walked out and said:

"What you have said is reasonable, but the current affairs of Tianyuan Prefecture are indeed a bit tricky, since the recovery of Tianyuan Kingdom, my country has spent a lot of treasury reserves here, but now it has not been effective, although the people have been able to live in peace, they have not yet reached a stable situation, so in the past, I am afraid that it is difficult to take care of the long-term poverty, and we need to find a solution as soon as possible."

"What is Qin Xiang's opinion?" As soon as it came to money, Tobe Shangshu also hurriedly asked.

"Tianyuan Prefecture used to be a small country, but it is extremely rich, it is close to the East China Sea, rich in pearls and seashells and other precious jewelry, plus the people mostly fish for a living, seafood is very developed, now once the war, most of the people dare not go to sea to fish, although many state officials are prohibiting civil violence, but no one really finds out the cause of the riot, the minister believes that in order to solve the problem of Tianyuan Prefecture, someone needs to thoroughly investigate the cause of the riot, whether someone deliberately instigated it behind the back, and secondly, once the riot is completely suppressed, the people will naturally restore their livelihood, The household department should expand the channels of Tianyuan Prefecture's specialties and open up trade, so that Tianyuan Prefecture can restore its prosperity and stability. ”

"Then who does Qin Xiang think is suitable to investigate this matter?" Yu Mingche asked solemnly.

"Please allow Your Majesty to go to Tianyuan Prefecture in person." Wuwei knelt down towards Yu Mingche and shouted loudly.

"No! Qin Xianggui is the secretary of the Chinese order, which is the minister of a country, how can he leave Beijing? Rong Zhen thinks about this matter, who should be sent to do it, and retreat from the court. After Yu Mingche finished speaking, he stood up and left the hall amid the cries of the ministers.

At the door of the imperial study, Yu Mingche stood on the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking at the entire palace attentively, and walked behind him lightly.

"Your Majesty."

"Uncle Shi, if you want to talk about going to Tianyuan Prefecture, don't talk about it anymore, I won't allow it." Yu Mingche didn't turn around, but said lightly.

"Your Majesty, the Xuantian Dzi is missing." Wu Wei didn't answer Yu Mingche's words, but just said something lightly behind his back.

"Xuantian Dzi?" Yu Mingche turned to look at Wuwei in surprise and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after the death of the first emperor, the minister remembered the Xuantian bead that Yun'er used when he was curing his illness, but he searched almost the entire palace, but he didn't find it."

"This Xuantian Bead was not just used to treat diseases at that time, but now it is missing, could it be because it lost its divine power after healing and disappeared?"

"I thought about it after I couldn't find it, but I went back and checked all the classics, and finally recorded it in an ancient book, the Xuantian Bead was originally a treasure of the gods, and the divine power was abnormal, which could not only keep the hearts of mortals, but also have the effect of collecting the soul, but I am afraid that this Xuantian Bead will not be lost, but will be used by someone to do evil things."

"So, you proposed to go to Tianyuan Prefecture this time to find out the true purpose of the Xuantian Dzi?"

"Yes, so I beg your Majesty's permission."

Yu Mingche sighed deeply, now the situation in Tianyuan Prefecture is like fire and water, the people hate them for trampling on their land, and they have never really returned to obedience, if they go without doing anything, they must be the best candidates.

However, the current situation in the court is complicated, and the responsibility he bears is very heavy, and it is dangerous to go to Tianyuan Prefecture, for fear that something will happen to him.

But according to what he said, if Xuan Tianzhu was really stolen by someone and used it to do something unseemly, I am afraid that this disaster will no longer be Tianyuan Prefecture, but the entire world.

"Go, take Xiaoshuang, and help me go to see Lu Ran and his wife after I go."

"Yes. Your Majesty has been tired recently, please also pay attention to your health, and the minister will go early and return early as soon as possible. ”

"I don't need to worry about it here, there are Yan Xu and Bai Xiaohan, you can go with confidence."

Wuwei saluted lightly, then turned around and was about to leave, Yu Mingche called out to him:

"Uncle Shi, pay attention to safety, it's good to find out, and if you can't find it, come back as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wuwei left, and there was no one left in the palace who could talk to Yu Mingche, Bai Xiaohan walked over, and Yu Mingche smiled softly at him and said:

"Xiaohan, how old are you this year?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Han just turned seventeen years old this year."

"Seventeen, what a good age." After speaking, Yu Mingche left with a smile, leaving Bai Xiaohan with a confused face.

Seventeen years old, what a good age, I used to be as high-spirited as you, but in this short period of time, the people around me are gone, and only loneliness and loneliness remain.
