Chapter 99, when it rains, there are many people

Her questions were not answered at the moment.

Rather than delve into it, it is better to put it aside for the time being, and one day you will figure out what happened.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Xia Pei reached out and took her into his arms and comforted her, "Yi'er, no matter what happens, there is me."

Listening to him keep giving, her worries gradually let go, and she raised her eyes to meet his eyes, squeezing out a little smile. She also believes that with him, many things will have answers.

In the days that followed, Lu Zhaoyi stayed in Zhaoyang Hall every day, groping with others to formulate new rules for the harem, reviewing and reviewing the music, and learning about various matters in the palace.

After Lu Lin's death, the pattern of the DPRK and China changed again.

With the gradual decline of the Jingzhou faction, the government and the opposition have become nothing more than a stage for the competition between the Hebei Shi clan, the Henan Shi clan and the Jiangzuo Shi clan.

The Hebei Shi faction, because Lu Zhaoyi sat firmly on the throne of the queen, led by Lu Chengye and Cui Yu, gradually formed a force that could not be ignored by relatives.

Like the previous dynasty, many courtiers talked about it, thinking that the power of foreign relatives would inevitably become a hidden danger to the royal family, and the Cui family would be the key existence in this power struggle.

However, with Lu Chengye's resignation and relinquishing his power to become an idle marquis, the courtiers' voices were reduced.

Perhaps it was Lu Zhaoyi who persuaded him that the Lu family's fame was gradually prospering, and he was afraid that it would become extremely prosperous, resulting in an even more dangerous situation. What's more, the Lu family's generation of talents is scarce, so it is better to retreat bravely, protect the family's reputation, and complete a good story.

Such a move has won the praise of the government and the opposition, and it can also reduce some unnecessary criticism.

If the Lu family retreats like this, the Cui family is no better.

The Cui family was already implicated in Cui Qingshuang's incident, and after that, they were criticized by the Henan scholars in the court, which made matters worse.

For a time, in the court, the two factions fought against each other.

On the other hand, Lu Zhaoyi focused on the affairs of the harem, ignoring these complicated political affairs, not to mention the situation Cui Yu encountered, which had nothing to do with her and did not owe him.

If Cui Yu, as well as the entire Cui family, can understand the reason for Lu Chengye's resignation and withdrawal from the court, he will not be targeted by other courtiers in the court.

However, for this matter, Lu Zhaoyi only sneered and ignored it. She had expected this state of affairs, and she didn't find it strange.

Eventually, it will all pass.

In the rainy season, it is dripping and endless.

It's another rainy day.

The palace people held an umbrella to shield Xia Pei from the rain standing under the eaves of the corridor, looking at this rain curtain, Xia Pei's mind didn't know where it flew to.

Suddenly, he retracted his thoughts and turned his head to look at the palace people on the side, "Get up, Zhaoyang Palace."

This was the fifth and most violent rain in July, and listening to the crackling sound of the rain hitting the stone slabs one by one, such a muffled sound made his mind even more confused.

Lu Zhaoyi sat quietly at the table, flipping through the books, with a hint of nonchalance in her lazy expression, as if, even if there were piles of music in front of her, it would not affect her interest.

And at this moment, Xia Pei's face was solemn, and he hurriedly broke in, passed by the busy palace maid, walked to the upper seat with his head held high, and sat down beside her with resentment.

Sensing his displeasure, Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at him, and turned his gaze to Shadow Rain who was standing on the other side, and then Shadow Rain realized what he meant, so he summoned the palace maids in the hall to retreat one by one.

"Queen!"

The others had already driven away, and Shadow Rain turned his head and said respectfully, "The medicine that the queen wants to use later, my subordinates will bring it to you?"

She bowed her head and gestured.

"Yi'er is sick?" When Xia Pei heard this, he immediately asked nervously.

He stayed by her side all the time, staying together every day, but he never noticed that she was sick.

She shook her head and smiled, still

Looked lazy, "The concubine is fine. But Your Majesty, when you come here so angrily today, has something happened to the DPRK and China?"

Her voice was indifferent, and her tone was also gentle, as if she had long been accustomed to the affairs of the court.

"Hmm." Xia Pei nodded, hugged her into his arms, and glanced into the distance, "This morning, I brought up the matter of moving the capital again, and the ministers no longer united and spoke out against it this time, but let me go to the ancestral land of the Xia family to worship the ancestors...... Is this clear, turning around and scolding me for being unfilial?"

Hearing him say this, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly frowned, and then burst out laughing.

Seeing her laughing wildly, the irritability in his heart also faded a little, and he couldn't help pinching her cheek, pretending to be annoyed and glaring at her, "You still dare to laugh?"

She reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "The concubine is not laughing at Your Majesty, but laughing...... There really is no excuse for the ministers to stop His Majesty. It's better to ......."

"Why not as good as what?"

"Your Majesty, do you insist on it again? Perhaps, after a while, they won't be able to find a reason for disagreeing!" Lu Zhaoyi blinked his eyes and said in a relaxed tone.

He froze, stared at her, and asked uncertainly, "Yi'er, are you so sure?"

Lu Zhaoyi smiled and nodded, "Uh-huh."

As she spoke, she suddenly withdrew her smile and broke away from his arms, her eyes blurred as if she had something else on her mind.

"What's wrong?" Xia Pei sensitively caught her mood swings, and her heart panicked slightly.

"Your Majesty......" she stopped.

He became more and more uneasy, and eagerly asked, "What's wrong? What do you want to say? Yi'er ......"

Lu Zhaoyi bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and slowly murmured, "Now that the situation between the DPRK and China has stabilized, Hebei, Henan, and Jiangzuo can all be safe, because the concubine has 150,000 Qingzhou troops in her hands, and she controls forces that no one can reach."

"If, a hundred years after the concubine and His Majesty, our descendants can still keep this country? Can you overcome the threat of the four northern empires?". z.br>

After listening, Xia Pei was stunned.

That's what she said.

"You're worried about that?" He followed her words and also fell into deep thought, "What will happen in the future, I can't be sure, the Shi clan is strong, if there is really no stronger force to suppress them, it will be really difficult to solve."

"But what if you're worried about that? A hundred years later, we are all asleep in the ground, and any glory and wealth have nothing to do with you and me, and the reputation behind us will not be affected by the actions of future generations."

She lowered her eyes, "The concubines have never been for these false names, and the concubines have always been for the sake of the people of the world."

This sentence surprised him.

He never imagined that her heart was so ambitious.

Xia Pei looked at her deeply, "What can you do?"

"The concubine suddenly thought that perhaps, the power of relatives is also the key to stabilizing the situation. This is also the reason why in the past 400 years of the previous dynasty, the power of foreign relatives has continued to flourish and the clan has been extinguished."

"The court needs different factions to check and balance each other and restrain each other in order to achieve balance and stability for the dynasty. But ......."

However, she persuaded Lu Chengye to resign not long ago!

"Relative!" Xia Pei raised his head and sighed.

In the past dynasties, relatives are good chess pieces, but they also have upper limits, which may be a good medicine in the current dynasty, but in the next generation, if the lord is doubtful, it will become a great hidden danger, and even override the imperial power.

For the sake of his own power, the new emperor will unite with other forces, such as eunuchs, to overthrow the power of his relatives, and the ills of the previous dynasty for a hundred years, that is, under this continuous vicious circle, led to the frequent revolts of the previous dynasty and the division of the princes......

Perhaps, they are all thinking deeply at the moment, the disadvantages and advantages of their relatives, and they are still weighing the stakes, and they don't care about jumping to conclusions.

After all, every move since then will involve the fortunes of the country, and there is no room for sloppiness and misfortune.

"Yi'er ......"

He whispered her name, and from his expression, you could detect the irrepressible, rich emotion.

"Why don't I summon Nanyang Hou back again?"

Lu Zhaoyi shook his head, "It's not necessary!" As she spoke, she reached out and took a copy of the tantric music from the table and handed it to him.

He took it, and she began to tell him about the tantric recital.

"Ever since my second brother was released to Qingzhou Plains County, I have been instructing the spy network to keep an eye on it, and since he took office as the county leader, he has indeed done a good job in local politics!"

"You want me to call him back to Beijing?" Xia Pei looked at Mi Fold and furrowed his brows, "Although he has merits, but his experience is a little shallow and he has no foundation, how can he face the wolf-like sergeant clan? I'm afraid of ......."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi sneered.

"When did the concubine ask His Majesty to recall him immediately? As soon as you and I are in this world, no one in the DPRK will dare to think twice, but we must also think about the next generation!"

Xia Pei's eyes suddenly lit up, "You say...... You want to give me a son?"

As soon as she was about to pounce on him, she pushed him away, her face flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Don't make trouble! In broad daylight, it's serious!"

He had to pout aggrievedly, "Okay!"

Lu Zhaoyi glanced at him, took out another secret recital, handed it to him, and continued, "This secret recital was sent back from Bowang!"

After taking the secret music, as soon as he opened it, Xia Pei's eyebrows and eyes widened slightly, "This is what Uncle Cousin, Xia Yuanlong presented?"

"That's right!" She nodded, "The 30,000 Qingzhou army has successfully attacked Jiangxia, and the remnants of the Vermilion Bird Hall have not formed any resistance at all, and most of them have already fled. In the future, if they are given a few more decades, they may not be able to organize any forces against the imperial court......

"And then, we're going to look to the north......

After reading it, he also nodded in agreement.

The Xianbei Murong Army, the army gathered north of the Great Wall of Daijun, ready to go, and the Xiongnu, Qian, Qiang and other ethnic groups in the north were also ready to move.

Xia Yuanlong's secret performance can be regarded as a wake-up call for him.

At present, the biggest enemy of the Great Abyss, the south, is now without any resistance, but in the north, wolves are around, intending to pose a great threat to this new dynasty that has only been in existence for more than two years.

He narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "Yi'er, in your opinion, what should be done?"

This question made her raise her eyebrows, look at him sideways, and say something that has nothing to do with this matter when she spoke.

"Your Majesty must still want to move the capital, right? As long as Your Majesty listens to the concubines, no one will dare to oppose this matter of moving the capital!"

"Before that, Your Majesty has already made preparations, let Xu Sikong prepare manpower first, go to Chang'an first, and build a new city!"

"Oh?"

Xia Pei was puzzled, "What the hell are you paying attention to?"

She raised her lips and smiled, revealing her neat white teeth, clear and bright.

"Your Majesty will naturally know when the time comes."
