Just three days after Yu Wenye left the Eastern Capital, news came out from the court that the emperor was going to tour Jiangdu.

This is not unexpected news for Shang Ruyi, who has experienced a life-and-death game in the Listening Crane Tower, but it is enough news for the entire imperial court, and even the entire Daye Dynasty.

Although the emperor's words at the court meeting were - now Jiangnan is a good season for mixed peanut trees and warblers flying around, you are already exhausted after a long war, it is better to ride a crane down to the south of the Yangtze River with me, and see the scenery of the magnolia sculls and the kingfisher crying in spring.

His words were rare and considerate, and even since he ascended the throne, the emperor had never been so considerate of his courtiers, who should have been grateful, but in fact it was not. Because everyone understands that Hebei has been lost, and Longyou, Shanxi and even Bohai County are full of rebellions, leaving the eastern capital at this time to go south, that is, to abandon the eastern capital, and even, give up the entire north!

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he abandoned the Daxing City that the first emperor had operated for decades and built the Eastern Capital, and the power center of the entire Daye Dynasty also moved from west to east.

But it didn't cause much repercussions at that time, because in order to build the Eastern Capital, he promoted many officials of the Central Plains Shi clan, and these people also actively moved in the court in order to move the power center of the Daye Dynasty to themselves, suppressing the Guanlong Shi clan promoted by Chu Yin.

Now, Chu Yang wants to give up the north and go south, how can these people be willing?!

For a while, people were panicked.

Empress Jiang hurriedly braved the cold wind to rush to the warm dock.

As soon as I approached, I heard a beautiful sound of silk and bamboo, looked up, but saw the warm dock that usually opened the door on weekdays, but today the doors and windows are closed, but the beautiful music comes from inside, and even the laughter of the girls like silver bells can be heard, and the music is more graceful and intoxicating.

Empress Jiang frowned slightly, walked over and stretched out her hand to open the door. Read the book

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind poured in from the outside, and the laughter of those girls was immediately mixed with a lot of exclamations.

As soon as she saw the scene in front of her, Empress Jiang's brows also frowned.

On weekdays, the warm dock is always very quiet, this place is like a peach blossom source made by Chu Yang for himself, there are warm springs flowing under the floor in winter, and the ice tray is constantly changed in summer to keep it cool. He didn't even allow the rest of the palace to come here, and if someone disturbed his peace, he would cut off his legs.

Therefore, except for the few times when she was looking for Shang Ruyi, Empress Jiang rarely set foot here.

But at this moment, it is crowded here, and in front of her are dozens of slender figures, young and beautiful girls, all dressed in bright red dresses, wide-sleeved robes, dancing with the music, a pair of tender lotus-like jade arms held high in the air, red skirts and snow skin complement each other, beautiful.

In the air, there is a smell of wine that is almost intoxicating.

When they saw the queen coming, the girls were startled, and they retreated to both sides in fright, bowing and saluting.

Empress Jiang glanced at them coldly, but she didn't get angry, she just waved her sleeves and said calmly, "All stand down."

….

Although her attitude was peaceful, the queen's majesty was not to be offended, and those girls did not dare to say much, so they could only bow their heads and cautiously withdraw from the warm dock one by one.

It wasn't until the last person walked out of the door that Empress Jiang took a deep breath, walked past the huge screen in front of her, and came to the inner room, but saw that it was even more chaotic than the singing and dancing outside, the carpet that was spread on the ground on weekdays had been overturned, and on the huge bed, Chu Yang was lying on it. He was dressed in plain white clothes, with a wide open placket, revealing a large area of skin on his chest, and his belt was even more obliquely on his crotch, as if he would slack off at any time.

At this moment, he was holding a wine glass in one hand and supporting his head in the other, his phoenix eyes were half-closed, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, like an immortal who had been disturbed by mortal dust, and said impatiently, "What about the song? What about dance? Go on!"

Empress Jiang's face sank a little.

But she took a deep breath and stepped forward and bowed respectfully

Said: "The concubine visits the emperor!"

「……！」

As soon as he heard her voice, Chu Yang was silent for a moment.

Then, the corners of his mouth hooked up again, and he slowly opened his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile, "Why is the queen here?"

Empress Jiang said, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to tour Jiangdu."

Chu Yang smiled and said, "The queen's news is really well-informed."

Empress Jiang said: "What Your Majesty has already announced in the court, the news of the concubines is not well understood."

"Now that you know, why don't you go down and prepare, what are you doing here?"

"The concubine wants to ask His Majesty to take back his fate."

「……」

Chu Yang's eyebrows frowned again, but he didn't get angry immediately, but chuckled twice, and slowly walked down from the bed, the wine on his body was already very heavy, but these two steps were a little staggering. But the stumbling figure is still dashing, like a jade mountain about to collapse.

He walked up to Empress Jiang step by step and said with a smile, "Why did the Empress say this?"

Empress Jiang Zhengse said: "Your Majesty should understand in your heart that if you leave the Eastern Capital at this time, most of the garrisons in the Eastern Capital must escort Your Majesty south. As soon as they leave, the eastern capital will not be safe."

「……」

"Your Majesty doesn't want the Eastern Capital, doesn't you want the North?"

「……！」

Chu Yang's eyes flickered.

But after a long silence, he suddenly laughed again, turned around and waved his hand vigorously, and the wide sleeved robe flew in the air like a flowing cloud, and then flew up, and the wine in the cup swayed at this moment, like a drizzle of rain falling one after another.

Chu Yang was bathed in this intoxicating drizzle, laughing wildly while chanting loudly:

It is not my wish to conquer Liao, and I only love Jiangnan.

Good dreams are old and old, why bother to be sleepy.

Hearing these poems, Empress Jiang's expression froze, and her dignified figure trembled slightly, and after a while, she muttered, "What a dream...... Your Majesty still remembers the queen of the Chen Dynasty? Remember how he indulged in wine and finally died under His Majesty's heavenly might? Now, Your Majesty is going to dream of the old colors of the Chen Dynasty?"

Chu Yang's face changed, and he said angrily, "You are bold!"

Empress Jiang's body was shocked, and she hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

「……」

Chu Yang slowly walked in front of her, let out a few deep breaths, his face softened again, and he said reluctantly: "I'm just too tired and want to go to Jiangdu Palace to rest for a while, and I didn't give up the eastern capital and the north as you said."

….

"But—"

"Alright,"

This time, he didn't let Empress Jiang speak again, but turned around and said coldly: "Go down and prepare, and in ten days, you will set off."

「……」

Empress Jiang looked up at him, and after a few words, she could only sigh and "Yes."

After saying that, he got up and walked out.

When she walked out of the gate of the warm dock, a sudden cold wind blew, as if countless steel knives were pierced into people's bodies, Queen Jiang looked up at the gloomy sky, suddenly shrunk, and muttered, "It's so cold......

It didn't take long for His Majesty the Emperor's poems to be sung in the warm dock spread.

If the current situation is like a clay urn filled with tung oil, then this poem is a little spark thrown into it, which blew the entire court upside down, the sun and the moon shook, and in the next few days, the ministers in the court kept writing and admonishing, but Chu Yang insisted on going his own way, and even directly dismissed dozens of officials, and several officials were imprisoned.

And when this poem reached Shang Ruyi's ears, it was already a few days later.

Without Yu Wenye by her side, many news could only be heard later than usual, and when she heard that even the official of the Zhengyi doctor, that is, Yu Wenye's cousin, was also ordered to think about it behind closed doors, she faintly felt that this fire really couldn't be extinguished.

Seeing her pale face, Tu She'er was worried about whether she was frozen, so she made a cup of hot tea and sent it to her, and said softly, "Miss, this time, the court is not

It's going to be messy."

Wo Xue, who was making the bed, shuddered when she heard this, and said softly, "Sister She'er, don't scare me."

Shang Ruyi shook his head and said, "What do you know, don't talk nonsense."

Tusheer said worriedly, "But now, the people in the city are running out, and I heard that tens of thousands of troops have been gathered on the Hebei side, and it seems that they are coming to the east."

「……」

"It's going to be a fight, but what can I do?"

Shang Ruyi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "After all, the Eastern Capital City was carefully managed by His Majesty back then, the city is strong, and the grain is abundant. Although Liang Shide has a lot of people, he is just a rabble, and he is not qualified to take the Eastern Capital."

When Tusher heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this young lady of hers is also a woman, she is unexpectedly very capable of carrying things, and she is not a blank sheet of paper in the matter of generals, and she has a deep understanding from the siege of Yanmen County last time, so her words made Tusheer feel at ease.

Wo Xue on the side said softly, "But young lady, the slave maid heard that His Majesty the Emperor has handpicked the list of people who went to Jiangdu this time. You—our family, it seems to be on the roster."

Shang Ruyi glanced at her and said, "Oh......

Actually, this is not unexpected.

Listening to the Crane Tower that day, Chu Yang asked in front of her, and he had already decided to take her to Jiangdu as well, but he asked in person, which seemed to have another meaning.

From the fact that he even directly asked himself if he was inferior to Yu Wenye, Shang Ruyi felt that he seemed to want to bring the relationship between the two people one step closer - since it was to bring one step closer, it was inevitable to let her accompany Jiang Du; It's just that if my answer was different that day, maybe the identity of going to Jiangdu and the treatment after that would be different.

Thinking of this, she sighed lightly.

Wo Xue walked over and said softly, "Young lady, are we going to follow?"

Tushe'er on the side frowned and said, "This is the will of His Majesty the Emperor, I'm afraid we can't disobey it, right?"

Wo Xue said, "Then, what about the second son?"
