Sure enough, as Empress Zhang herself expected, the imperial doctor knelt on the ground to congratulate Liu Yong and her after helping her take her pulse.

After rewarding the imperial doctor, Liu Yong issued an order to allocate one hundred taels of silver from the Internal Affairs Office to all the palace people in Jing'an Palace, and even the palace people with Cining Palace were also rewarded.

Empress Dowager Wu was also overjoyed when she heard the news, and specially sent Xiao Ling'er to greet Empress Zhang.

"Your Majesty treats your concubines so kindly, if you are used to it, won't Your Majesty be bullied by your concubines in the future?" When no one is around, Queen Zhang teased.

"Qi'er's wisdom surpasses that of my Manchu Dynasty, and I will listen to your advice more in the future, and being bullied by you can be regarded as a great beauty." Liu Yong was only happy and said with a smile.

After a while, Empress Zhang changed the subject:

"I heard that Your Majesty has sent people to train people outside the city, but there is also the intention of an expedition?"

Liu Yong groaned.

"I don't have any plans to go on an expedition for the time being, but there is one thing I am thinking about, and I can't solve it."

"The concubines don't dare to influence Your Majesty, if Your Majesty wants to say it, you might as well say it and listen to it." Empress Zhang said with a smile.

What entangled Liu Yong was naturally a letter written by Sun Liang.

"Why didn't Your Majesty make people contact Sun Ji head-on and ask for Chen Ji, while secretly sending people forward?" Empress Zhang proposed.

Liu Yong also thought so.

"I have also thought about Qi'er's words, but those who go secretly must have both courage and strategy, and even if they die, they must not reveal their true identity.

Empress Zhang stared at Liu Yong's face.

"Your Majesty is not going to ......"

Liu Yong nodded and said with a smile, "It's just that Qi'er has to agree." ”

Empress Zhang lowered her head and pondered for a long time.

"Your Majesty's bravery and strategizing concubines are worry-free, but there is no one who knows Your Majesty in Eastern Wu, once you lose, my Shu Han will have no hope."

"Qi'er, just rest assured, I have General Qi Zhen by my side, this person is very brave, and he can ensure my safety." Liu Yong comforted, and added, "Chen Ji's house is a big trouble in my Shu, I will get rid of it with my own hands, if it is possible to get rid of Sun Qi, my Shu and Wu should continue to unite, so that there is hope of breaking Cao Wei." ”

"Your Majesty's heart and concubines understand that they are bent on reviving the Han Dynasty, but they have also fulfilled the last wish of the first emperor and lived up to the name of the queen of Shu Han. It's just ......" Empress Zhang wanted to speak and stopped.

Liu Yong knew Empress Zhang's mood at the moment.

"I have asked General Wei Xu to lead five hundred forbidden troops to guard the palace day and night, to ask the queen mother to come to visit Qi'er from time to time, and to ask Lord Chen Yi to preside over daily official business, and outside the city, there are Dong Qi and General Han Wei to guard, it is expected that there will be no incident, and I will strive to rush back within half a year." Liu Yong said.

Empress Zhang bowed her head again and remained silent.

"Your Majesty insists on this, and it is inconvenient for the concubines to stop it, but you still need Your Majesty to return as soon as possible. And although General Qi Zhen is brave, he has a rude personality, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes, so he still has to bring a few more entourage. ”

Liu Yong nodded.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then, each smiled.

The next day, Liu Yong personally handed over a letter to Lu Qiong.

"This book must be opened and read by your young master himself, and no one can know about it."

Lu Qiong took the letter, and seemed to be a little disappointed, feeling that the queen of Shu Han seemed to be prevaricating in this way, and wanted to say something more, but saw that Liu Yong looked very impatient, so he had to give up.

After sending Lu Qiong away, Liu Yong immediately called Wei Xu and Chen Yi.

Hearing Liu Yong's decision, both of them were shocked.

"Your Majesty's golden body, how can you leave Shu easily? If the adults knew about it, wouldn't it cause panic again? Chen Yi said.

"If Your Majesty insists on killing Chen Ji and helping Sun Liang eliminate the national thieves, Weichen is willing to go on behalf of Your Majesty, and he will definitely live up to his mission." Wei Xu said.

Liu Yong shook his head.

"I want you two to be in charge of the affairs of the city for the time being, and you must not lose any money. As for my safety, I have my own measure. ”

Chen Yi and Wei Xu looked at each other, still not at ease.

Liu Yong looked at Wei Xu with a smile.

"I still have something to mention to General Wei Xu."

"Your Majesty commands."

"I intend to give the maid of the queen's side, Miss Xiyue, to General Wei Xu as his wife, if the general has no objection, after I return, I can handle it for you." Liu Yong said.

Wei Xu was startled, and then knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Wechen has seen the girl of the moon several times, if he can marry her, Wechen will die without regrets. ”

Liu Yong and Chen Yi laughed.

"Miss Shame Moon is also saying the same, it seems that I and the queen mother, the red media, have done the right thing."

Wei Xu was grateful.

"Your Majesty does not doubt that Weichen is a general, not only entrusted with important tasks, but also gave the maids around him to Weichen, such a great favor, Weichen is difficult to repay, but I wish to be smeared with liver and brain, in case of emergency."

Liu Yong pulled it up.

Wei Xu is still young, such a talent is what Liu Yong needs the most, a maid can ask him to do his best for the great cause of Shu Han, it is really the most worthwhile thing, and whether it is Xiyue or Wei Xu, this kind of marriage is the happiest.

Chen Yi had to be impressed by the wisdom of Liu Yong and Empress Zhang once again in his heart.

"This matter should not be known to anyone, if anyone asks, they will say that I have been in poor health recently, and I need to recuperate for a few months before I can be a director." Liu Yong also told Chen Yi and Wei Xudao, "If there is a major matter, you can enter the palace to discuss with the queen mother or General Dong Qi outside the city." ”

Seeing that Liu Yong had no room for maneuver, the two had no choice but to agree.

The next day, before dawn, Liu Yong wore a gorgeous civilian dress and took Qi Zhen and several entourages out of the city.

At that time, the distance between Chengdu and Jianye (now Nanjing), the capital of Eastern Wu, was really far away. Moreover, the road is difficult to travel, and there are many bandits during the period, Liu Yong said to Queen Zhang that he would come back in half a year, which is really a lot less.

At the speed of traffic at the time, it would have taken more than a month to be on the road alone.

Fortunately, Liu Yong was not in a hurry, he just needed to arrive after Lu Qiong returned to Jianye.

A month later, the capital of Eastern Wu - Jianye:

The fifteen-year-old little emperor Sun Liang was alone in the palace bowing his head and meditating, when a eunuch came over.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Sima Sun Qi has brought someone here, and he is now waiting in the Yonghe Palace, asking His Majesty to go and discuss the matter quickly."

Sun Liang raised his head and smiled bitterly.

"My father didn't discuss anything with me, so I guess he has already made arrangements today and came to inform me, right? In this case, I would like you to inform your father, and say that you only need your father to be in charge of everything, and you don't need to tell me. (Sun Liang called Sun Qi his father, and there was no historical data to support it, so it was so for the convenience of the account.) ）

The eunuch hesitated.

"If Your Majesty replies to Lord Sun Qi like this, I am afraid that it will cause your Majesty to be angry, Your Majesty should not worry about it, and go and deal with it."

Sun Liang sighed.

"I've been in power for months, but it's really a shame to be so controlled by others. Thinking about how majestic my father was when he was alive, my Dongwu army and people were united in defending against foreign enemies, and they were as stable as a rock. If the old ministers are still there, why am I so humble? ”

"Your Majesty said lightly." The eunuch became a little nervous, "If it is heard by Lord Sun Qi's people, I am afraid it will not be good for Your Majesty." ”

Sun Liang sighed.

"Reply to your father, and say that I will change my clothes immediately."

"The minions obey." The eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked away quickly.
