Empress Murong shook her head lightly and said, "How can the concubine not believe Your Majesty? ”

Then he smiled gently, and then said: "But Your Majesty, after the concubines heard it, they also felt very incredible, and I thought that those ministers also had the same reaction, they were worried about the country and the people, not like the concubines, who were shallow in their knowledge, and it was normal to have doubts, why did Your Majesty bother with them?" ”

Hearing Empress Murong's words, Emperor Qianwu suddenly felt a lot better, his brows stretched and he chuckled: "Well, it makes sense, the imperial court has sent people to investigate carefully, and those ministers also have their own news channels, and when the truth is revealed, those doubtful voices will be self-defeating." ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true." Empress Murong smiled gently, and then asked the question in her heart: "Your Majesty, what method did Changfeng use to open the Baizhang Gap in Liyu Mountain?" ”

Emperor Qianwu said lightly: "It is true that some means have been used, and it is normal for the courtiers to refuse to believe it." ”

Empress Murong knew that Emperor Qianwu was reluctant to say more, so she wisely didn't ask more and changed the topic.

"Changfeng has made such a great achievement, and he has been left out in the cold in places such as Baishi City for ten years before, and he is the child of His Majesty, and His Majesty should reward him well."

Emperor Qianwu smiled: "This is nature. ”

But in my heart, I thought, "How can I just give a reward?" I also have to let him take on more responsibilities and do his best for the big cadres! ”

After staying with Empress Murong for a while, Emperor Qianwu was in a much better mood, and left to review and deal with the government.

The other side.

After the early dynasty, the eldest prince Li Chengye found Li Jianye, who was a little sullen: "Jianye, you seem to have something on your mind?" ”

He knew that after Li Jianye followed Emperor Qianwu to the Wasteland, Li Jianye's relationship with Li Changfeng became better.

Therefore, he wanted to find out some news from Li Jianye and find out the details, so as to make plans for the future.

Li Jianye glanced at Li Chengye and shook his head and denied: "No." ”

Although he and Li Chengye were born to the same mother, their personalities are very different.

He has always been straightforward and likes martial arts, there are no twists and turns, and he doesn't like Li Chengye, who is deep in mind and good at calculating.

Li Chengye also knew that Li Jianye was estranged from him, so he pulled him to an uninhabited corner outside the Xuanzheng Palace, and said: "We are born of one mother, why is the emperor so defensive of me?" ”

Li Jianye shook his head expressionlessly: "There is nothing to do." ”

Li Chengye continued to play the emotional card: "Although the royal brother and the other princes are also brothers, you and I are closer in blood, and we must not be separated!" ”

Li Jianye nodded expressionlessly: "This is natural." ”

His perfunctory performance suddenly made Li Chengye feel annoyed, but he still endured it and went straight to the point: "You must know why my father trusts the Nine Emperor Brothers so much, and how he opened a gap in Liyu Mountain, right?" ”

Li Jianye suddenly showed a tangled look.

Of course I know, but I don't dare to say it!

Just now, the court has reached such a situation, and Emperor Qianwu himself didn't say anything, obviously because he didn't want the courtiers to know this.

I said it myself, can Emperor Qianwu spare him?

When the time comes, it will inevitably be whipped by the belt of seven wolves.

Moreover, he was also a little afraid that Li Chengye would have any crooked thoughts about Li Changfeng, so he shook his head.

"I don't know."

"You!"

Li Chengye was suddenly speechless with anger.

He has been observing Li Jianye's expression, and he has already seen that Li Jianye knows about this, but he is just unwilling to tell his own brother.

"You...... Very good! ”

glanced at Li Jianye coldly, and Li Chengye brushed his sleeves away.

But he didn't give up, thought about it for a while, and went straight to Empress Murong's bedroom.

Knowing that Emperor Qianwu was also in Empress Murong's bedroom, Li Chengye was overjoyed and did not go in to disturb him, until Emperor Qianwu left.

"The son asks the queen mother for peace, and the queen mother is safe!" Li Chengye bowed.

"It's Chengye, come and sit." Empress Murong said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Li Chengye sat down, did not say his purpose at the first time, and after a while, he saw that Queen Murong was in a better and better mood, so he spoke.

"Queen Mother, I saw my father leave from afar when my son came just now, I don't know why my father came here?"

Empress Murong's eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced at Li Chengye meaningfully and said, "It seems that you didn't come to ask for peace, there are other things, right?" ”

Li Chengye smiled embarrassedly and said: "Erchen didn't dare to expire his mother, something happened in the court today, Erchen was puzzled, and he came to ask his mother for advice!" ”

Hearing this, Empress Murong couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

My son is still a little breathless!

And his mind was in the wrong place.

What's the use of figuring out the Divine Will?

Emperor Qianwu did not value these, but real talents, and should focus on doing his own things well.

Empress Murong sighed secretly in her heart, but she didn't express it at all on the surface, and said curiously: "What happened in the court?" ”

Li Chengye told the cause and effect of the incident as it was, and Queen Murong, who learned the details, couldn't help but show a more puzzled look.

The severity of the disaster in Shangzhou and the majesty of Liyu Mountain far exceeded her expectations, and the whole thing was indeed weird.

No wonder Li Chengye came to her to inquire about the news, even she felt extremely curious at this time, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Seeing her look like this, Li Chengye expected that she didn't know, but he still had a glimmer of hope and asked, "Doesn't the queen mother know why?" ”

Empress Murong came back to her senses and said with a light smile: "The queen mother really doesn't know. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengye couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

After all, he is his own son, and he can be regarded as outstanding among many princes, and Empress Murong can also hope that he will inherit the unification, so she wants to mention a few words.

She asked: "Chengye, do you know why the queen mother has not been favored for decades?" ”

Li Chengye was a little surprised why Empress Murong suddenly asked such a question, thought for a while and replied: "The queen mother followed her father and the emperor from the army, fought in the south and the north, and depended on each other for decades. ”

"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other."

Empress Murong smiled and shook her head, slowly got up, came to the window, and looked at the majestic palace, her eyes flashing with wisdom.

She continued: "There are no less than 1,000 harem concubines and palace maids, and there are countless young and beautiful people. ”

Li Chengye was puzzled in his heart, not knowing what Queen Murong wanted to say, so he bowed down and said: "The queen mother's youth is eternal, how can those rouge vulgar fans be compared?" ”

Empress Murong laughed at herself, didn't answer this conversation, turned around, looked at Li Chengye and said: "The reason why I am in favor of the queen mother is because I know what to do and what not to do, and I can do things within my duties with confidence and boldly, and I will never ask anything outside my duties!" ”

Li Chengye knew that Empress Murong was reminding him, showing a thoughtful expression.

Empress Murong said nothing in the harem, no one has been able to shake her status for so many years, not only by her holy grace, but also by her wisdom, which is beyond the reach of other concubines.

"Your father, Emperor Dragon, is in good health and in his prime, do you think he is confused?" Empress Murong asked suddenly.

Li Chengye's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked left and right, and saw that no one was there, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Naturally not, why did the queen mother ask such a question?" ”

Empress Murong said meaningfully: "You can doubt anyone's decision-making, but you can't doubt your father's decision-making, understand?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengye suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you for the guidance of the queen mother, the son understands it!" ”

At this moment, he realized that his mind had fallen into a strange circle and had wrapped himself into it.

Emperor Qianwu was not confused, so how could he do anything confused?

Obviously, Emperor Qianwu had long known that this matter would definitely succeed, and knew what Li Changfeng would do.

Obviously, he only needs to explain, what method did Li Changfeng use to open a gap in Liyu Mountain to dispel the doubts of the ministers, but Emperor Qianwu just didn't explain, why is this?

Obviously, there are secrets in this that are not suitable for the world to know now, so what is the benefit of breaking the casserole and asking?

In this case, he didn't need to question any decision of Emperor Qianwu at all, and even had to fully support and do his own thing well, so that Longxin could be happy.

Thinking of this, Li Chengye couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he didn't jump out and step on Li Changfeng this morning, but instead said a good word for him.

If they act like the second prince Li Shou and the sixth prince Li Ji, they will definitely attract the displeasure of Emperor Qianwu.

Since Emperor Qianwu didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask anymore in the future, and fully supported Emperor Qianwu's decision to defend Li Changfeng.

It's just that even Li Jianye knows this secret, but he doesn't know it, which makes him feel a little lost in his heart, and there is a sense of frustration that he was isolated from the core by Emperor Qianwu.

He secretly made up his mind that from now on, he would try his best to have a good relationship with Li Changfeng and enter the core.

After knowing everything and understanding Li Changfeng's background clearly, he will use it to make Li Changfeng a stepping stone for his inheritance of the unification.

Seeing him look like this, Queen Murong smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to understand, this palace is lacking, you can retreat." ”

……

The second prince Li Shou, the sixth prince Li Ji, and many powerful ministers in the court all sent people to Shangzhou to investigate the situation.

At the same time, a group of merchants who passed through Shangzhou and came to the capital to do business spread the word about what Li Changfeng had done in Shangzhou.

Gu Tian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, likes to drink and listen to music in the Spring Building when he has nothing to do.

On this day, he came to the Chunyi Building with his entourage as usual, and was about to go to the private room on the second floor, when he heard the chat content of a table of individual guests in the hall on the first floor, he couldn't help but pause.

There were four people seated at that table, but there were more than a dozen people around, and the guests at the surrounding tables also stretched their necks and pricked up their ears to listen.

"A miracle, that's a miracle, if there is no His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors, Shangzhou will be finished. Even Xiazhou, which is adjacent to it, is afraid that it will also be affected! One of the middle-aged men dressed as a businessman and full of shrewdness exclaimed.

"What the hell is going on?" The person standing next to him obviously didn't hear what was in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

The middle-aged man picked up the teacup and poured it violently, with a slight shock on his face, and said loudly: "Okay, then I'll say it again!" The flood in Shangzhou was solved by His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes! He didn't spend a single soldier, and no one recruited any labor, so he took his retinue and went to Liyu Mountain! ”

"I don't know what happened, but in just half a day, there was a loud sound of the sky cracking and the earth cracking, and it could be heard dozens of miles away. Then Liyu Mountain opened a hundred-zhang gap, and the flood of the Shang River slanted down and flowed into the Valley of Evil Beasts! ”

"As a result, the water level of the Shang River receded sharply, not only relieving the flood, but even the evil beasts in the Valley of Evil Beasts were drowned! Isn't it a miracle to do this? ”

"The people of the entire Shangzhou and Xiazhou know about this, and they all say that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is a god descending from the heavens!"

Hearing this, Gu Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he knows better than everyone how difficult it is to open a mountain and split stones, how can he believe what the middle-aged businessman said.

He walked quickly towards the middle-aged businessman, and shouted angrily: "How can you open a gap in Liyu Mountain in half a day? What crime should you be guilty of deceiving the public with such evil words?! ”
