Chapter 54

The bronze key was heavy, and it was not light in the hand.

"But what's the use of the concubines coming?" Song Zhi refused, but Zhao Yichen held up her hands so that she couldn't take them back.

"This place, once considered forbidden by me, I will give it to you. It's up to you how you want to use it, I don't have to ask anymore. His tone was a little pleading, and before Song Zhi could react, the key was already in his hand.

"Your Majesty, General Lou is asking for a meeting in the Heavenly Temple." Qin Nei waited outside the door, bowing down and not daring to look inside.

Zhao Yichen raised his hand to touch Song Zhi's head, but Song Zhi suddenly knelt down.

The summer clothes are thin, and a pair of butterfly bones appear in front of Zhao Yichen through the gauze clothes, cold and seductive.

He forced himself not to look at the figure, looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, "What are you doing on your knees?" ”

"Your Majesty handed over this key to the concubines, and they were afraid to accept it." She really didn't want to take the key, no one wanted to live up to someone else's appearance for the rest of her life.

"It's for you, it's for you, there's still something to do in the Heavenly Temple, I'll leave first." Before leaving, Zhao Yichen couldn't help but look at the butterfly bones under the pair of gauze clothes again.

"Your Majesty, Jinghu has been pacified, and the rest of the henchmen have all been taken into prison, what should I do?" Lou Qi's originally dark skin had some new scars, which deepened his sense of bravery.

"The male is Ling Chi, and the female is a military slave." Zhao Yichen drafted the edict, and the pen was written quickly, without the slightest hesitation.

"Your Majesty, on the way to collect the remnants, the minister happened to meet a person and asked His Majesty to decide on it." Lou Qi summoned a man in, and both knelt in front of Zhao Yichen.

Lou abandoned his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this person is from Shudi, he stopped me that day and said that the matter about Shu should be reported to Your Majesty." ”

Lou Qi kicked the man, and the man spoke in a panic.

"Untouched see Your Majesty."

"What do you have to report to me?"

"It's about the Lord of Shu."

Zhao Yichen was a little wary of the military report, there was still eyeliner in the Heavenly Temple, and it was not an excellent place for discussion.

"Come with me."

The three of them took advantage of the night to enter the library building, and no one noticed Song Zhi who was sleeping behind the screen.

"Your Majesty, the untouchables are from Shuzhong, who once served as a military chef in the army, and I accidentally heard that the lord of Shu wants to take advantage of the geographical location, and then unite with the Northern Han Dynasty and strictly defend the army, I am afraid that he will have an anti-Jinzhou heart."

"You are a traitor in their eyes, and now you are betraying your lord to send me military information, how should I reward you?" Zhao Yichen stared at the map with his eyes and expanded some of the range with a cinnabar pen.

"Hey, Your Majesty's words are tormenting the untouchables, you only need to reward the untouchables with some silver taels, and there are still three or four untouchables waiting to live." The man was also a cheerful person, he didn't play sloppy, and directly showed his intentions.

"Then I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold as you say."

"Untouchables thank you, long live Your Majesty, long live."

"Don't rush Xie Zhen first, it's true that you have a life to take it back." As soon as the end of the note fell, Zhao Yichen took out Lou Qi's saber and stabbed it neatly into the man's chest.

An exclamation from behind the screen aroused the vigilance of Lou Qi, "Who is here?" ”

There was no sound behind the screen, but Zhao Yichen already had the answer in his heart.

"Lou Qi, you send this person back to Shudi, according to what he said, take precautions, and report anything immediately." Zhao Yichen stood in front of the screen, wanting to cover Song Zhi.

"Yes."

"Come out, I know it's you." Zhao Yichen found a place to sit down, facing the screen.

Song Zhi was a little greedy and cool, his blue gauze skirt was half-tucked around his waist, his long black hair lost the restraint of the hairpin, and he drooped on his shoulders at will, and his slender white arms were undisguised in front of Zhao Yichen.

Zhao Yichen saw Song Zhi's appearance, and remembered that Song Zhi took the initiative to drink the avoidance soup that day, so he forcibly held back the feeling of congestion and closed his eyes, "You put on your clothes first." ”

One sentence made Song Zhi blush, and Jiang Cai was surprised, completely forgetting that he was not wearing a good dress.

She casually tied a bun on the back of her head with a wooden hairpin, evened out the gauze skirt, and made sure that there was no disheveled clothing before slowly walking out from behind the screen.

Zhao Yichen didn't intend to hide it, and showed the newly drawn map in front of Song Zhi.

Song Zhi looked at the lines that Zhao Yichen had drawn on it with a cinnabar pen and realized that his ambitions were greater than he imagined.

"The next step is to destroy the Lord of Shu?"

"Hmm."

Song Zhi got closer, although after the Battle of Luhu, she probably guessed Zhao Yichen's next intention. Now that he really feels Zhao Yichen's ambition, Song Zhi also has some admiration for his military talent.

"This step will be difficult, and the Queen Mother will especially not agree."

"I understand that there have been people reading these days, hoping that I can stop fighting and recuperate." Zhao Yichen also looked at the topographic map on the parchment scroll, "When it was in the hands of the first emperor, Jinzhou did not have frequent contacts with the outside world, and the abundant treasury also cut off Jinzhou's connection with the outside world, resulting in Jinzhou's military always lagging behind other countries. ”

Song Zhi doesn't know much about military affairs, she loves to read, but she feels that the art of war and military affairs are a bit tedious and boring, and she always deliberately avoids such books.

Zhao Yichen saw that she was a little puzzled, and patiently explained to her, "The first emperor discovered this drawback in his later years, and deliberately disguised me as an attendant of the imperial physician to serve in the Heavenly Temple under the pretext of illness. When the Queen Mother and Zhao Yichen went to the side hall to rest, he would discuss it with me. ”

"So that's why there are not too many records about His Majesty in the "Living Records", and there are only sporadic records before the first emperor goes to the immortals." Song Zhi looked suddenly enlightened, "Then why do you want to avoid the Queen Mother?" ”

"At that time, the Queen Mother colluded with the previous dynasty and wanted to push Zhao Yitai to be the emperor, but Zhao Yitai did not have a flexible understanding of this aspect, and he could not fulfill the last wish of the first emperor."

Zhao Yichen took Song Zhi's hand and traveled to different places on the terrain, as if the two of them had also invested in the natural beauty.

"Your Majesty hid from everyone and resisted this shocking secret?" Now, Song Zhi can no longer look at Zhao Yichen with his previous eyes, he not only has the responsibility of Jinzhou, but also the hope of more people in Liming.

She once said that she wanted to save him, how to save him?

People always have a strong mentality, Song Zhi is the same for Zhao Yichen, even if he insulted Song Zhi before, it is undeniable that Zhao Yichen has a special charm when he commands the military.

This charm deeply attracted Song Zhi, and even she hoped that one day she could stand side by side with him.
