The days are not dull and moving forward.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of February.

In the Jinchen Palace, Emperor Qin Ming sat on the dragon chair, wearing a dragon crown, majestic and awe-inspiring.

This is his court, his country.

In the main hall, the courtiers stood in line.

Today, Zuo Haoran was also dressed in gorgeous court clothes and stood at the back of the queue.

Emperor Qin Ming looked at the fold in his hand, his expression was a little solemn.

Obviously provided materials and paid military salaries, why are the soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang still miserable?

Although this year's snow was heavier than usual, the snow disaster of a few years ago was not as severe.

Emperor Qin Ming's heart was a little restless, although he had coexisted with the country of Vala in the north for many years, but Walla was a beast that had been coveting the rich territory of the Central Plains.

"Zhongqing, what do you propose about the affairs of Northern Xinjiang?"

Bai Qiran was the first to come out.

"Your Majesty, at the end of last year, there was no shortage of baggage, grain and grass, and clothing."

After speaking, he glanced at Lou Li and continued: "Five million taels of military salaries were also issued to the soldiers in northern Xinjiang. ”

Listening to Bai Qiran's calculations again, Emperor Qin Ming still didn't feel anything wrong.

War is naturally about spending money.

And the ministers who opposed it at the beginning have finally become honest today.

Emperor Qin Ming laughed secretly in his heart.

He didn't know that those ministers had been stumbled by inexplicably, and the person who played small tricks was of course Qin Zhe.

At this time, Li Mo, the inspector of the household department, still raised his head, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that there are too many materials sent to Northern Xinjiang. General Yang in the western realm didn't ask for so much baggage, and Weichen felt that it was boring. ”

It's him again!

Emperor Qin Ming snorted coldly.

"Tell me, what's the problem?"

"Wechen doesn't know, but it's all Wechen's intuition."

“……”

"Your Majesty, since General Chu sent his name, Northern Xinjiang has been asking the imperial court for money. I don't know what General Lei and General Qi's hearts are! ”

To kill, or not to kill?

Emperor Qin Ming stared at Li Mo coldly, the most beautiful thing about the Great Dynasty was this kind of stupid minister who seemed to be loyal.

Bai Qiran sighed in his heart, this Inspector Li is a donkey, but his intuition is also sensitive, that is, there is indeed something missing in his brain.

Hearing Li Mo's criticism of Lei Mingtian, Huo Yusheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was a little displeased.

He stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, at the end of last year, General Lei and General Qi came to a great victory, and they contributed a lot. ”

Huo Yusheng did not side with any prince, but because he had a good personal relationship with Lei Mingtian, I believe that he is definitely not a person who bends the law for personal gain.

"But a small army of more than 100 people, how can it be said that it is a big victory? Just kill some bandits! ”

Li Mo was blunt.

Then there was another round of verbal bickering.

Emperor Qin Ming's eyes became more and more gloomy.

Jing Lan and Chen Xuan exchanged a look.

Chenxuan coughed.

The long murmur instantly calmed down the sounds in the hall.

Shen Tianhao sighed in his heart, following Emperor Qin Ming for so many years, the war has always been a hurdle that he can't pass, and he knows that he is bent on recovering Walla's famous history.

But Vala is not a weak nation, how sure is Great Qin to win a battle?

Lou Li saw that Shen Tianhao was silent, so he wanted to take this opportunity to send some more supplies to Northern Xinjiang according to Emperor Qin Ming's wishes.

Maybe he can join forces with Qi Jia to embezzle some military salaries.

Who knew that he just wanted to express his opinion, but Bai Qiran came out one step ahead of him.

"Your Majesty, Wechen thought that he could add some baggage, grain and grass, and clothes, but Wechen heard that there was turmoil along the way in Northern Xinjiang, and I don't know if the materials at the end of last year were safely delivered to the barracks, so I beg Your Majesty to send someone to verify the materials."

Although Emperor Qin Ming felt that no one dared to fight the idea of imperial court materials, Bai Qiran's proposal was indeed understandable, as the head of the household could support additional materials, then the imperial court should spare no effort to support the northern Xinjiang soldiers.

"Just according to Bai Shangshu's proposal."

Emperor Qin Ming nodded to Chen Xuan, he was tired.

"Retreat—"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Qin Shuihan caught up with Shen Tianhao.

"Prime Minister, please stay."

Seeing Qin Shuihan stop himself, Shen Tianhao also stopped.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han."

"This king has always had a question and wants to ask the prime minister, I don't know if you are willing to answer your questions."

Shen Tianhao smiled indifferently quietly.

The two tacitly walked to the sparsely populated place.

"King Han, please ask."

"My father is wise and martial, but this king has never understood why my father never distinguishes between truth and falsehood in warfare, although conquering Vala is the wish of all men."

Shen Tianhao smiled bitterly: "Does King Han know why your imperial uncle Qin Huaijin died tragically on the way to the Western Realm?" ”

Qin Shuihan was slightly stunned, why did Shen Tianhao ask himself about those old things?

He frowned, although he was very young at the time and had no memory at all, he had heard some gossip afterwards.

The father was the third in line, neither a descendant nor the eldest son, but in order to ascend to the dragon throne, the father killed many of his brothers.

He thought that the emperor's uncle Qin Huaijin had encountered an accident, so it was also his father's trick.

"This king... Ignorance. ”

Shen Tianhao lowered his eyes, these things are not taboo, many old ministers in the court know about them, but many details are indeed unknown to anyone.

He smiled again: "King Han, have you ever thought about why your fourth emperor's uncle, Qin Jiezong, can live in Panyu for the rest of his life? ”

Qin Shuihan was a little confused, what did these things have to do with his father's attitude towards the war?

"Your imperial uncle Qin Jiezong has never led troops to fight. And Qin Huaijin, the king of Jin, is the prince who is best at leading troops to fight. ”

“……”

Qin Shuihan was speechless for an instant, this can also be a reason to kill and release people?

He found his father far more incomprehensible than he had imagined.

Shen Tianhao didn't tell Qin Shuihan that there was actually another reason why Emperor Qin Ming didn't kill Qin Jiezong.

Because Qin Jiezong had no heirs and voluntarily purified himself, he left a life.

Shen Tianhao looked at Qin Shuihan quietly, and he couldn't see the shadow of Emperor Qin Ming on him, whether it was his appearance or temperament.

Although he knew that Qin Shuihan was also cruel, he was more humane than Qin Zhe.

In the house of the Emperor, this principle is very important.

Shen Tianhao misses Emperor Qin Ming a little when he was young, but as the years go by, Emperor Qin Ming is no longer the enthusiastic third prince who took the world as his own responsibility.

Do you regret following him?

Shen Tianhao didn't have an answer in his heart, but that answer didn't seem to matter.

Suddenly, he missed his friend Baili Nanming very much, but unfortunately he hadn't waited for the other party's New Year's letter this year.

"King Han, the matter of Captain Zuo, you won't stop there, right?"

Qin Shuihan collected his thoughts, and suddenly he also smiled lightly.

"The prime minister is wise, this matter will naturally not stop there, and this king will definitely seek justice for Ling Ai."

Shen Tianhao smiled and waved his hand, then turned around and left.

Yixuan Palace.

The golden armor reported to Emperor Qin Ming that he had seen Qin Shuihan and Shen Tianhao talking in the Jinmei Garden.

Today it was Han'er and Shen Tianhao, and a few days ago it was Zhe'er and Yan Linjin.

Emperor Qin Ming changed his posture and asked the massage doctor to continue kneading.

These two sons are really bored, he doesn't care what they talk about at all, they really have anything to do to talk outside the palace.

Emperor Qin Ming still saw this truth very thoroughly.

However, when he thought of the war in the northern Xinjiang, he was indeed a little displeased.

With more taxes this year, will it be possible to fill the treasury and take Vala in one fell swoop?

He sighed, causing the fingers of the two masseurs to tremble.

Uh-huh-

The two masseurs immediately fell to their knees.

"The crime of despicability deserves death, please calm the emperor's anger!"

Emperor Qin Ming opened his eyes and saw that a massage doctor on the left had white and slender fingers, and he suddenly thought of He Qianxue, who seemed to have not gone for some days.

He glanced at Jing Lan.

Jinglan immediately understood.

"Go down."

The two massage doctors hurriedly bowed and withdrew.

"Jinglan, Xuanlan Palace."

In the Xuanlan Palace, He Qianxue curled the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly.

She looked at the letterhead in her hand and thought to herself that things were finally going in the direction she had hoped.

"Miss, Princess Han's medicine really works, Miss's face is much better."

Zi Yan blew the medicine bowl in her hand, she felt that Lin Yi's medicine was very peculiar, and there was a hint of sweetness when she smelled it, unlike the medicine prescribed by other doctors, which was so bitter that it was difficult to swallow.

Song Jie on the side showed a gentle smile, he had already determined the prescription, and after making sure that it was correct, he tried to fry it for He Qianxue to drink.

The prescription is indeed a very bold combination, especially the herb called licorice, which tastes sweet and not bitter at all.

"Zi Yan, I've told you many times, I have to call me Niangniang, in case someone hears it and arouses suspicion, it will be a fatal event."

He Qianxue threw the letterheads into the incense burner and watched them light slowly.

"Yes, mother, I know. Please take the medicine. ”

Zi Yan said a little aggrieved, her hearing was very good, and she didn't hear anyone outside, not to mention that Song Jie was also waiting aside.

For her, He Qianxue will always be her young lady.

Song Jie walked to He Qianxue's side and picked up the medicine bowl to feed her.

"Cher, drink the medicine."

He Qianxue said angrily: "It's daytime, and so are you!" ”

"It's fine, I'm sure I'll notice if anyone gets close."

"It is said that the light work of the golden armor is very good."

"Cher, you have to trust me."

He Qianxue nodded, opened her cherry sip, and slowly drank the decoction that Song Jie fed her.

Suddenly, Song Jie put down the medicine bowl and tightened his brows.

Someone's coming.

He nodded to Zi Yan and quickly walked outside the house.

He Qianxue frowned, at this time, who will come?

"The emperor has arrived—"

The last person you want to see is coming.

He Qianxue took a deep breath and tried to pretend to be happy, but she didn't understand how Emperor Qin Ming could come to her dormitory at this time.

Emperor Qin Ming glanced at Song Jie who was kneeling at the door, this eunuch was too handsome, but he was just a eunuch.

"You, come in with Jinglan."

Song Jie squeezed his fists, what does Emperor Qin Ming's attitude mean, do you want to prostitute yourself during the day?

"Meet Your Majesty."

He Qianxue knelt on the ground, she heard the conversation between Emperor Qin Ming and Song Jie, and felt great anger in her heart, did she want to serve this beast in front of Song Jie?

"Concubine Ai is flat, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you very much."

Emperor Qin Ming pulled her up, directly hugged her slender waist, and kissed her little mouth.

"What did Concubine Ai eat? There is a faint sweetness in the mouth. ”

He Qianxue felt sick in her heart, but she still had to grit her teeth and smile: "I just made a cup of tea, does Your Majesty want to taste it?" ”

Emperor Qin Ming glanced at the tea set on the tea table, and was not very interested, but the beauty in his arms was seductive.

"Aifei, no."

Saying that, Emperor Qin Ming pulled He Qianxue to the bed.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has not yet bathed ......"

"I don't mind."

He Qianxue's cheeks stiffened, and she couldn't keep smiling.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Eunuch Jinglan and Song Jie are on the side, and the concubine is shy......"

"Jinglan is my person, Songjie is just a father-in-law, and the concubine doesn't have to scruples."

Emperor Qin Ming stretched out his arm and motioned for He Qianxue to change his clothes.

Zi Yan clenched her fists in anger.

Miss is so pathetic!

Jing Lan swept her arm, as if sensing her anger.

Song Jie realized that Jing Lan was in his eyes, and immediately whispered: "Zi Yan, the eunuch has worked hard, hurry up and prepare some tea and snacks for the eunuch." ”

After speaking, Songjie smiled flatteringly.

Jing Lan showed a faint smile on her face, this little eunuch was indeed like a crown of jade, no wonder the saint wanted to let himself test his body.

But it's also clever to be human.

Jing Lan glanced at Zi Yan again, the anger on this little maid just now was her own delusion?

Zi Yan struggled to squeeze out a smile and withdrew.

The sound of Emperor Qin Ming's heavy breathing came from the bed.

He Qianxue hugged his neck tightly, not wanting to see his face.

Song Jie had a faint smile on his face, but his heart was dripping blood.

This minute and second was like being in eighteen layers of hell for both of them.

I don't know how long it took.

Emperor Qin Ming finally stopped, he patted He Qianxue's little face, and found that her face was like a peach blossom, and she was so tired that she fell asleep.

It turns out that he is so tough.

Emperor Qin Ming called Jinglan and asked him to wait for him to change his clothes.

When leaving, Emperor Qin Ming showed a very satisfied expression, he thought that he was too powerful, so that He Qianxue couldn't resist it and fell asleep tiredly.

I don't know how long it took, He Qianxue felt someone wipe her body with warm water.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that she had been changed into clean, profane clothes.

"Cher, you're finally awake."

Song Jie hugged her tightly.

In an instant, He Qianxue's tears burst the embankment.

"Cher, don't cry, don't do this next time."

"Miss......"

Zi Yan's face was also full of tears, she saw He Qianxue fainting just now, she was so anxious that she was sweating, fortunately Song Jie gave her internal force, otherwise she wouldn't know when she would wake up.

She didn't expect the young lady to hold her breath with internal force and faint directly.

"Miss, if you forcibly hold your breath like that, if you accidentally hold your breath, you will have internal injuries and hurt your vitality!"

He Qianxue showed a bleak smile, she didn't want Song Jie to watch herself and Emperor Qin Ming have fun.

Songjie gently held her face and kissed her lips.

"No, that beast—"

He Qianxue's tears fell one by one, and it was heartbreaking to see it.

Song Jie shook his head, he knew what He Qianxue was referring to, Emperor Qin Ming kissed her just now.

"You will always be ice and jade in my heart."

Song Jie held her in his arms and quietly enjoyed the snuggling of the two.
