Since Kuroko presided over the government three years ago, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has never been to the court, and it is rumored that she has lived a very erosive and extravagant life......

I don't dare to think about what information this is leaking!

As for the still young Emperor Qi, in addition to being three years older in the past three years, he still doesn't know anything about court affairs, which is really worrying, and the ministers only treat him as an ornament when they go to court.

Everyone also saw that Mr. Heizi had really done his best to govern Qi in the past three years, often when eating, as long as he heard something related to the "discussion of politics", he would spit out the food in his mouth, and he would not eat the cold food until he finished speaking, and he would forget to sleep and eat.

What about the princess......

"Your Excellency, we will do everything and listen to your decision!"

Their meaning is very clear, everything is only up to Mr. Kuroko's decision, as for the eldest princess, it is dispensable.

"You can't do that...... When the emperor was alive, the most brave and warlike person in my Great Qi was the king of Yunnan, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was with him in the past, and he was much better at leading troops to fight than I was talking about on paper!" Mr. Kuroko said modestly.

Maybe he can be the best teacher in Qi country, but it doesn't necessarily mean that everything is the first good, which is related to "hearing the Tao and having a specialization in the arts".

"Sir, I'm waiting to be taught!" After hearing this, the ministers all showed an open face of acceptance, admiring him even more.

Someone had sent someone to the Heart Cultivation Hall to invite the princess, but no matter how many times she was rejected back, she even asked Kuroko to invite him by name.

The ministers were displeased, but they felt that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had lived more and more in three years, and she didn't see the calmness she should have, but she was arrogant and rude.

"Then I'll go......" Kuroko sighed, he knew best, and of course she knew why she had never been in court in the past three years, this was a disguised revenge for him!

Before he really entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, only a hundred steps away, he heard the laughter of a woman mixed with the laughter of a man from time to time, and he was about ten steps closer before he could hear that this was an unsightly sound.

It seems that the rumors are true, and this princess is really depraved.

"This ...... It's really ...... If the emperor was here, how could he have thought that his favorite eldest princess, Her Royal Highness, would be this virtue!" The elders of the court followed behind Kuroko and seemed to speak out without shying away from it.

When everyone listened, they also talked about it.

At this time, a palace maid came out and said, "Your Highness said, she only saw the sunspot on the prime minister!".

There were also the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who came with Heizi, and they heard that they were more and more angry, even when the wise old Emperor Qi was alive, they had never seen any time that they could alarm the ministers to go to his dormitory to invite him, and even if they were invited, they would not necessarily have the size of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess now!

Kuroko waved his hand, signaling them to stop talking casually, and he followed the palace maid towards the hall.

The closer I got, the clearer the sounds sounded in my ears, and through the layers of curtains, I could see a graceful figure chasing and playing with a few young men.

"Chen Heizi came to invite Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to the court and discuss state affairs together!" he stopped, shouted loudly, and bowed slightly to the deepest part of the hall with his hand.

"Go down!" said the graceful voice in the depths of the veil, and all the previous voices stopped abruptly.

After a while, several handsome young men ran out of it in disheveled clothes, and when they passed by Kuroko, their expressions became panicked, but if they looked closely, they looked at him with a little sympathy.

The curtains were lifted, and she walked out of it barefoot, the same disheveled, the same indifference as ever to him.

When he saw her walk out, he slowly raised his head, her appearance had not changed the same as three years ago, but it was a little more charming and unfamiliar.

"What are you looking for in Hongu?" She looked at him and suddenly smiled charmingly, and sat on the ground casually, with silky eyes like a fallen woman: "If it's between men and women, let's talk about it, otherwise...... You go out, and the palace will go and pamper my young men!hahaha......."

She smiled and trembled, becoming more and more charming, and all the charm that a woman should have was reflected in her.

But looking hot, in fact, it is indifferent.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess! Zhou Guo has conquered several of our cities again!" his eyes were calm, ignoring her words, and only explained his intentions.

"It's been three years, sir, you haven't come to see me once in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and you're really not funny at all! Am I not more beautiful than this country?" she immediately became indifferent, and her voice was full of questions.

He didn't answer her, but just watched her quietly, wanting to hear her answer what he wanted to hear, as if he was sure that she would answer.

"You...... Then we will talk about state affairs!" She smiled miserably, and after a few tears flashed in her eyes, she reverted to her usual indifferent appearance.

In fact, in the past three years, although she has been in the courtyard of the deep palace, she has always been concerned about the world's major affairs, after all, the truth of "helping the world" is what he taught, and because he taught it, she will never forget it for the rest of her life.

In the years when she married the king of Yunnan, in order to control his 100,000 iron cavalry, so that she could quell the rebellion in the future, she secretly read a lot of military books in private, and gradually infiltrated herself into his iron cavalry to take care of the army for him.

So when the imperial court really wanted to pacify the chaos, more than 40,000 iron horsemen were directly under the command of a weak woman, and the imperial court didn't have much effort

With a small number of troops, the king of Yunnan was easily pacified.

really put her as a female Jiao'e on the battlefield, and what she can do will naturally not be just crying.

The two of them said separately, saying that this war is the necessity of war or peace, if it is peace, ceding a few cities can protect the country for a few more years, anyway, now the country is thriving, the economy is also very prosperous, only a few cities are harmless, it will not take a few years to recover.

But if you do this, it will inevitably cool the hearts of the people of Qi and lose the hearts of the people, and the ambition of the wolf son of the Zhou country that time, if you promise to cede the city, there will definitely be a next time...... And next time it won't be as simple as ceding the city.

So their thoughts coincide - war!

"In this battle, since the Manchu Dynasty can't produce a real man, what if the palace leads the troops to the battle?" She smiled heartily, and could no longer see the charm of a woman in her, but turned to a compelling heroism.

It also touched on the fundamental issue of leading troops to fight.

But this heroic spirit needs how much romantic innocence she has lost in Yunnan Wangfu in the past, and how much torture and bitterness she has experienced to cultivate it......

This laugh actually contains a bit of bitterness.

"Narukaze, Mr. will come with you!" Kuroko looked at her and said seriously, not very moved, but she felt tears when she heard it.

She smiled slightly, showing the tenderness of a woman, but it was also a little miserable, but it was a pity...... Only when he talks about national affairs will he have his tender side, and she can see the peach blossom forest she wants to see.

However, it is actually enough for her, even if this tenderness comes from humble and charity.

Three days later......

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who has not been to the court for three years, rarely went to the court, but she wore a military uniform, and three thousand black silk tied up a capable ponytail, showing her heroic posture, and because of her arrival, the court had a little more solemnity that she had never had in the past.

"Who dares to join me on this expedition?" Her tender eyes looked at the Manchu ministers with a solemn aura.

"This ......"

The ministers looked at each other, feeling that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was a little nonsense, a female streamer was just about the same as taking an embroidery needle, but they had nothing to refute her words, they were all born scholars, and they couldn't even do such a thing as killing chickens.

"Narukaze, don't embarrass them...... They are all my students, and I understand what they can do, like we said okay, I'll go with you. Kuroko said to her with calm eyes, and then said with a smile: "In the days when I was away from Mingfeng, I asked you about the affairs of the court, and I know what you do in private, but they are all my students, and I don't want to say who ......."

When the ministers heard this, they all lowered their heads in shame, although the court was rectified by the sunspots, but in private, they still formed a party for personal gain, fighting openly and secretly......

They think they know everything, but he knows everything.

"I will keep in mind the teachings of Mr. During the absence of Mr. and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, we will definitely take care of the court as well as when Mr. was there!"

The ministers bowed respectfully to him and Mingzhu.

Seeing this, he just nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

is also like what he said, they are all his students, and he understands their temperament, but he really doesn't dare to do anything beyond the monarch and ministers, but no one has ever served anyone in private, which has led to this situation of forming a party for personal gain.

And when it was time to go on the expedition, the capital of Qi was less noisy and a little more solemn than usual, just like when Mr. Heizi came that year, people all over the city came to see him off.

The Oirans of the Orchestra had taken off their red makeup and wore the most plain clothes to see him off, and if they had come to greet him for three years because of his talent and looks, now they had come to see him off for the world that was tied to his breast.

On this day, there was no sound of silk and bamboo in the city, and this expedition to Mingzhu only brought 100,000 people, and it could only bring out so many ...... Compared with the 300,000 army of the Zhou State, it is too bad, anyone can think that they are defeated, but the people of Daqi can't!

Also under the gaze of the people of the city, the army of 100,000 set off in a mighty way, but it was full of depression, and the strong man was gone and never returned, probably so.

……

On the border of Qi, three months have passed, and the 100,000 troops of Qi who arrived at the border have been killed by Zhou State, and only 60,000 remained......

There are still 230,000 troops left in the Zhou State, and like beasts trapped in cages, they will be trapped in prison sooner or later!

Under the city a few zhang high, the generals of the Zhou State looked at this city gate with contempt, which was obviously a hundred miles in radius, but in his eyes it was not as big as his palm.

"Is there no one in your Qi country? let an old scholar and a girl lead the army to fight!"

"That's right...... Or what is the eldest princess, I think it is better to strip naked and come to the arms of our general, otherwise you will hit your capital!"

His soldiers are even more unscrupulous, and they dare to say anything without concealment!

Mingzhu's delicate face stared at the situation under the city seriously, in fact, she had already had a plan in her heart in the past few days, but she was ruined, and she might not win a battle against the water...... The plan in her mind had changed slightly.

"Sir, do you have any good plans?" She looked at Kuroko, who was also as serious as she was.

He sighed and shook his head, he didn't know anything about leading the troops.

"Sir, you are a good teacher, but you can't be a good general, hahaha......" She looked at his distressed appearance, and laughed inexplicably, and then she said, "I have this."

A way, but ...... Just tell the gentleman that you listen. ”。

He nodded, and she poked her head in, getting closer and closer to him, and her heart was pounding.

When he heard this, he smiled and said: "Ming Feng is really a great talent on the road of soldiers, and Mr. has sent you thousands of miles! I will definitely do what you command!"

His youth is long gone, and this smile has long been unable to get drunk in the peach blossom forest, but it still got drunk to her heart, and she was stunned for a while, just like when she saw him for the first time in the past, she felt that her husband's face was really good-looking.

Seven days later, according to Mingzhu's orders, he took most of the troops and the women and children of the city out of the city.

At first, he didn't feel anything, but after really doing all this, he realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly ordered someone to investigate the situation in the city pass, but found that the city gate had been opened, and the pearl was still in the city......

This "empty city plan" is different from what she said to herself.

Originally, it was said that the city gate would be opened to lure the Zhou army into the city, and then rely on the terrain of the mountains around the city pass, throw the flint stone wood into the city and kill the 200,000 troops in the city!

But the theory is so, but if this "empty city plan" is more perfect, it will be more perfect if someone has to be the bait, and this person Mingzhu chose himself......

Thinking of this, he shouted to the three armies behind him: "The three armies act according to the plan set by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

With that, he drove a fast horse and a sword to the city!

As Mingzhu expected, when Zhou Guoren saw her in the city, he didn't think much about it, and came to the city like a loose horse.

She watched all this with satisfaction, took off her military uniform, put on her woman's original red makeup, and was about to jump off the city, before the plan she drew up took effect, she didn't want to fall into the hands of the people of Zhou Guo!

"Mingfeng, do you even dare to lie to your husband?" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

She looked back, and sure enough, it was him: "Mr. is so difficult to deceive...... I can't fool you every time, hahaha!".

As if forgetting that this was a battlefield, she smiled happily and happily, thinking that she could stay with her for him in the past, and every time he couldn't understand the problems he had said, but what about him? every time he saw through but didn't break it, and he took the trouble to tell her again.

Sou!

An arrow flew in and hit her shoulder!

"Mingfeng!" he hurried up to her, and said that she was in his arms.

"Sir...... Singing Wind ...... It's good to die with you......" Her voice became weaker and weaker, but she snuggled into his arms, and for the first time in her life, she felt that the peach blossom forest had always been there.

Just feel that life is passing, how long can she be greedy for this moment of pleasure?

Or as she said, it was impossible for them to get out of this city alive, either by the people of the Zhou State, or by the slamming stones of their Qi State.

"Trust me Narukaze...... We will all live!" He looked at her earnestly, a look of determination in his cloudy eyes.

She fell asleep in a groggy state......

When she woke up again, she was already in the big tent in the army, and he was standing by her side, but the plain clothes under his armor were dyed bloody, and I don't know how many people he had killed.

I also remember that before she fell into a coma, she watched the thin sword in her husband's hand set off countless sword lights, and it was also the most ordinary sword, but it was overlapping with lotuses, and no one could get close to them.

At that moment, he looked indifferent, extremely strange, and she didn't know it at all.

"Sir, have you ever learned a sword?"

"What about me...... In fact, I have forgotten many things!"

"Then the gentleman will forget me, right?"

"No!"

She was so weak that she fell asleep again satisfied with his firm answer.

……

Later, after another five years, Emperor Qi also reached the age of crowning, and he really knew how to manage the government.

He may not be wise, but at least he is not mediocre.

Then he resigned from his official position, walked silently, did not go to the old man to return to his hometown, but began to travel around the world, as if his ambition was not only to bring peace to the country of Qi.

Ten years later, he accepted more students, including the Son of Heaven of a country, a famous swordsman who moved the world, and a monk who asked the realm...... There are as many as three thousand in all.

Now, he has become the "saint" of Qi and more than a dozen countries around it.

Also one day, when he traveled back to Qi again, he was riding a green ox on the bank of a stream and river, and Wang Yufeng found him.

He brought with him a painting with the word "unity" on it......

He wanted to speak a few times and stopped, but finally said: "Uncle, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a stubborn disease, I'm afraid ...... She wants to see you again!".

After hearing this, Heizi didn't say anything, got into his carriage and rushed to the capital of Qi.

……

In the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, she hasn't seen her for more than ten years, Mingzhu has faded all her good years, and now she is lying on the bed and about to run out of oil, but before that, she just wants to look at him again.

A peach blossom forest was also planted in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the layout was like the Luoshi Village back then, and she seemed to notice his arrival, she got up from the bed, didn't let anyone help her, and dragged the sick body out.

It was also in the peach blossom forest, in the scorching peach blossoms flying in the sky, she saw him, already full of white hair, with a warm smile on his face, just like when she was drunk with her heart.
