Empress Liang looked at the progress bar that was slowly progressing, shook her head slightly, and muttered, "It seems that it is impossible to complete the upgrade tonight." ”

"It's okay, I also have to slow down and seriously consider how to deal with the affairs of Qingzhou......"

Empress Liang Zhao sat cross-legged and began to meditate and cultivate, calm her mood, and by the way, complete the cultivation progress of the ancient tomb sect's inheritance of martial arts.

"The second of the Tomb Sect's introductory exercises is a light exercise called Yao Jiao Kongbi, which is the foundation of the subsequent Heaven and Earth Net, and it is also the key to my dexterity and dexterity, and I must ......master it carefully."

"The light gong body method is composed of two parts: internal strength, heart method, body method, and body action, and the specific mental method operates, and when practicing, it must be combined with the corresponding action to bring it into play......

"After the completion of this exercise, the body is as light as a swallow, elegant and beautiful, flying like a fairy, suitable for fighting with people, and this light exercise is extremely fast, can escape a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, it is the only way to save life."

Empress Liang Zhaoyao's luck method was cultivated.

Minutes and seconds passed, and the hour soon came.

Empress Liang Zhao opened her eyes, stood up, her body moved, jumped out of thin air, and moved in the hall in an instant, leaving several afterimages.

Her body is like a fairy, flashing and moving, and the bulging things in front of her rise and fall up and down, and her posture is elegant and beautiful, looking extremely beautiful, as if there is a fairy who has been dancing from the nine heavens to the earth.

After just a few breaths, Empress Liang Zhao returned to the bed, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her whole person exuded bursts of heat.

She slowly closed her efforts and slowly smoothed out the boiling true qi.

After doing this, Empress Liang Zhao put a purple-red threaded elixir in her mouth, urging the secret technique of Xianluo Palace, and correcting her appearance, and in an instant, Empress Liang Zhao, who had a floating figure and a beautiful temperament, changed her appearance, her face became resolute and three-dimensional, the line curve became stiff, the bulge in front of her disappeared, and the Adam's apple became obvious.

Empress Liang Zhao reverted to a man's appearance.

She looked at the system upgrade progress bar in front of her.

【Upgrade Progress...... 98%】

"It seems that after breakfast, the system will be upgraded, and I am really looking forward to it......"

Empress Liang Zhao sighed softly, and heard a knock on the door outside the main hall.

"Bang Bang ......"

The palace maid's soft voice came in:

"Your Majesty, it's three o'clock in the hour, it's time for breakfast."

There is no morning pilgrimage today, so you can eat in advance.

The early dynasty is not open every day, according to the ancestral system of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, ten days a morning dynasty, this is the rule.

Of course, the rules can be changed.

The more diligent emperor can also choose to go to court every morning when there is something important.

But ordinary emperors would not choose to do this.

Because the early dynasty time is too early, the ministers often need to prepare an hour in advance, and too frequent early pilgrimage is also a great burden for them.

"Okay, I got it."

Empress Liang Zhao stood up and ordered, "Wait for me to change my clothes." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the answer, the door was slowly pushed open, and the palace maids and eunuchs walked in slowly like fish swimming into the sea, carrying copper basins, towels and other things, and lined up in turn.

Surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs, the empress Liang Zhao finished washing and changing.

"Your Majesty, do you want the Imperial Dining Room to serve the food?"

The palace maid asked respectfully.

"Well, let them serve the food." Empress Liang Zhao responded.

Soon, all kinds of pastries, white porridge, and milk were served to the table by the palace maids and eunuchs.

Under the service of the palace maid and eunuch, the empress Liang Zhao began to have breakfast.

……

Beijing, Dongcheng District, Zhoufu.

Zhou Zhenwen sat at the round table, took a piece of delicate-looking xiaolongbao with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it, the rich juice exploded on the taste buds, he nodded with satisfaction, and took a sip of soy milk, which seemed a little comfortable.

In front of Zhou Zhenwen, a man in black stood with his head bowed slightly, extremely respectful.

"Little Five, let's eat together?"

Zhou Zhenwen put down his chopsticks and greeted.

"My lord, no need, I've already eaten it." The man in black named Xiao Wu said softly.

"Really?"

"It's a pity, the buns in my house are a must, and they are pastry chefs I specially invited from Jiangnan, and there are few people in the world who can compare with them."

"Next time, don't have breakfast, come with me for a bit."

Zhou Zhenwen shook his head and chuckled.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Wu is still very respectful.

Zhou Zhenwen ate breakfast until he finished eating, Xiao Wu waited respectfully, without the slightest impatience, as if it should have been.

"Smack!"

Zhou Zhenwen clapped his hands and asked his subordinates to remove these dishes and chopsticks.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Zhenwen looked at Xiao Wu and asked.

"My lord, there is news about Qingzhou." Xiao Wu bowed and said.

"Say."

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates sent people to various granaries in Qingzhou to secretly investigate, and the grain inside is only one layer on the surface, and all the bottom is filled with straw and other materials, and the grain in the entire Qingzhou is gone."

Xiao Wu looked serious and continued: "The dark guard has investigated the caravan trade records over the years, and has not found anything abnormal, but it is rumored that there is a caravan surnamed 'Zhou' that often travels back and forth with the Heavenly Wolf Country, saying that it is trading cloth, but in fact, the transaction is the military materials of our dynasty, and the waste weapons, obsolete crossbows, firearms, etc., are all secretly transported to the Heavenly Wolf Country through this caravan. ”

"The subordinates suspect that there is Qingzhou's reserve grain among them."

Zhou Zhenwen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled: "Heh, this Qingzhou Taishou is a good skill, dare to sell anything?" Dare to trade anything to the barbarians? ”

"You're guts!"

"He's really not afraid of death!"

Xiao Wu's expression remained unchanged and bowed slightly.

"How did Your Majesty know about this news?" Zhou Zhenwen asked.

Xiao Wu replied: "Lord Hui, this matter has not been investigated clearly, and according to our information, the Dragon Guard does not know about this matter. ”

"Another hidden guard of the Great Wilderness Royal Family, haven't you found it yet?" Zhou Zhenwen asked.

"My lord, this is a dereliction of duty on the part of my subordinates, please punish me." Xiao Wu knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice.

"For so many years, the investment in the dark guard has exceeded 10,000 taels of gold every year, but in addition to the movements of the dragon guard, the news of another mysterious force is still nothing, I am disappointed."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu's head was lower.

Zhou Zhenwen shook his head: "Before the first emperor died, through the dragon guard, a lot of evidence of my guilt was investigated, with that evidence, I was enough to be beheaded more than a dozen times, but until he died, the first emperor didn't do anything, do you know why?" ”

"Your Excellency is loyal to the Imperial Court." Xiao Wu said in a deep voice.

"It's wrong, it's because I act in a measured way, I plundered the fields, I never did anything to the ordinary people, I moved the land of the wealthy family, I was greedy for power and money, greedy for petty power, and all I got ill-gotten gains."

"In the imperial court, no one is clean."

"I'm not greedy, I'm not greedy, I can't get to the position of the head of the cabinet, and I can't get the support of so many courtiers, if you join the Tsing Yi Party, it makes no difference if you don't join the Tsing Yi Party, so why should these courtiers join the Tsing Yi Party? Why support me? ”

Zhou Zhenwen stood up, walked to the window, looked at the banyan tree in the courtyard, and continued: "When you were ten years old, you were adopted by me, and now it has been almost ten years, and the secret guard has been established for five years since it was established. ”

"In five years, you have made great progress, I have watched you grow up, and the forces of the secret guards have gradually caught up with the dragon guards of the imperial court, but the news of the other hidden guard has never been investigated."

"I thought that this guard, perhaps with the complete disappearance of the first emperor, now it seems that His Majesty has inherited this guard."

"The future battle is not only in the court, but also in intelligence."

"I want you to be able to hold up the Secret Guard."

Xiao Wu said: "My lord, I must work harder, please give me some more time." ”

"Okay, this matter, so be it."

Zhou Zhenwen waved his hand and asked, "How is the matter of Shangdao?" ”

"Lord Hui, it's going well, under your instructions, business roads in various places have begun to be established, mainly funded by the alliance of local chambers of commerce and the local imperial court, and we account for 30% of the shares." Little Five Ways.

"The matter of business is very important, not sloppy, you have to keep an eye on it, only when the business road is opened, can trade in various places be smooth, and the economy can be revitalized." Zhou Zhenwen said.

"Yes." Little Five Ways.
