Although he was scarred and sweating profusely, he had to go to thank the Queen Mother, and then go to Weiyang Palace to thank the emperor.

gritted his teeth and endured the pain and walked out of Changxin Palace, with a stomach full of grievances and a lawsuit. I think I am a good citizen of the People's Republic of China, although I have fallen into the underworld, but I finally changed my mind and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, thinking that I can be like ordinary girls from now on, talk about love and get married, and live an ordinary and happy life, who knows that I ran to this ghost dynasty by mistake, and every day I live in fear in order to keep this head, and I am beaten again if I have nothing to do, why is my life so bitter? Who did I provoke?

Liu Che, you keep this account for me, it's best for me to find Hetian Yu and go home early, otherwise there will be another similar incident, I don't want that broken jade, I won't go home yet, just stay and make a super disaster, and turn your big Han Dynasty upside down, everyone will think about it.

With a constant ruthlessness in his heart, he raised his hand to wipe the tears that unconsciously gushed out, and walked out of Xisima Gate.

"Liu Dan!" Someone greeted me outside the palace, it was Wei Qing.

Looking at his concerned face, my heart was sad, and I almost burst into tears, but fortunately I thought that the future general was still only a nineteen-year-old child, and it was too much to ask my twenty-five-year-old woman to cry to a little brother, so I gritted my teeth, pretended to be strong, and even joked: "You're not here to see me off for the last time, are you?" ”

Wei Qing frowned and silently helped me to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and Fu Yong sat inside. I haven't seen you for so long, so I just smiled faintly, and didn't even say hello: "Let me see your injuries." ”

The cold medicine was applied to the hot wound, and it felt very comfortable, and I asked him, "How is it?"

Fu Yong affirmed: "There will be no scars." ”

"I'm not asking this, I'm asking you how Xiaohuo is?"

Fu Yong's hand stopped on my back, and then moved again, and said: "He is already weak, and this infection is undoubtedly worse, but don't worry, I will take good care of him, and give you a healthy and lively Xiaohuo, so as to live up to my reputation as a doctor of Bigu." ”

I was a little relieved, thinking that Jin would go to see the emperor as soon as he saw him.

However, when did this guy Fuyong pay attention to his reputation?

As the medicine cloth wrapped me into a rice dumpling, the carriage also shook in front of Weiyang Palace. I jumped out of the car in high spirits, and once again wondered whether this Fuyong was a human or a fairy or a demon. I will definitely take more with him after a while, and go back to a medical expert to study it carefully, maybe it will be of great help to modern medicine.

Seeing my radiant appearance, Wei Qing was very surprised, the haze in his eyes dissipated a lot, and he exclaimed: "Mr. Fu's medical skills are really like a god." ”

I pulled him over and whispered, "Did you find it?"

Naturally, I asked Hetian Yu.

Wei Qing shook his head in frustration.

A little disappointed, but expected. I patted Wei Qing on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, now that I'm a female official of Weiyang Palace, I have a lot of time to look for it carefully." Suddenly, he remembered something, and asked again: "Zhongqing, just now in Changle Palace, Princess Pingyang can help me a lot, to be honest, are you asking her?"

Wei Qing's face was a little red, but he said without hesitation: "Yes, I went to ask the princess, and the princess agreed, but I don't know how to persuade Your Majesty to only let you be a female official; The princess is your savior. ”

I said, "I know, I'll repay her another day." ”

Let's take you Wei Qing as a thank you gift.

Even though Wei Qing tried his best to cover it up, the reddish face and bright eyes when he mentioned the princess, a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that this was a symptom of a young man's Huaichun, presumably in those years in Pingyang Mansion, something beautiful must have happened, which made these two men and women who were extremely incompatible regardless of identity, status, and age secretly breed some inexplicable feelings for outsiders. It's a pity that Luo Fu has a husband and a wife, and everything has become a secret between each other, which you know and I know, but it is precisely because of this emotional connection that they want to get close to each other, but it makes the relationship between their hearts and minds more compatible and stable, so as to become allies with the same qi and branches, and confidants who support each other.

Personally, I am naturally strongly opposed to extramarital affairs, and I hate the so-called emotional derailment, but now after all, it is in history, and one of the parties is my friend and the other is my savior, of course, I hope they are happy. So let me break the principle once and secretly wish them to be together.

The Emperor met me alone in the Xuan Room, and the boy seemed disappointed to see that I was not in the same embarrassment as I had been tortured.

"See Your Majesty!" I saluted him without humility or arrogance.

The emperor looked me up and down, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Our Lord Liu can always be so calm and calm at any time, and his posture is pleasant, and it seems that he does have the talent to be the first vase of Weiyang Palace." ”

I ...... ※○◎$¥§‰@#×&

I am a modern civilized person, and I don't know you like a barbarian, I don't swear, I don't slander, I try to balance out my breath, and I don't die like I'm angry with this bastard.

I said gently: "Thank you Your Majesty for giving the minister this opportunity, to be the first vase, the minister is really happy." ”

With a "snap", a thick bamboo slip was thrown in front of me, and the emperor said coldly: "I listened to Liu Qing's words, and after returning to the palace, I weighed the ......" The word weighing especially accentuated the tone to show his displeasure. "Weigh a number of rules and regulations for female officials, you can see clearly, if there is a violation, I will not spare it. ”

There are so many rules? That's a big deal. Ay...... Oh no, why didn't you think of it just now? The female official and the palace maid all live in the palace, and if they lose their freedom from now on, isn't it better to live than to die? What's more, this guy is eyeing me, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to prevent it for a while, and if I accidentally take advantage of him, won't I lose a lot?

Even if you want to make a vase, you have to make an office vase that can work from 9 to 5, and you must not make a villa vase, otherwise you might as well be a concubine.

With a roll of my eyes, I leaned over and picked up the bamboo slips, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, these days the minister has been imprisoned in the edict prison, very free, and has more time to think about it, and accidentally remembered some of the military advantages of the countries in the Western Regions, thinking that some of them are worth learning from my Han Dynasty. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was thinking of fighting the Huns, and he was extremely sensitive to the word military, so he immediately asked deceivedly: "What are the advantages?" ”

I snickered secretly, pretended to be serious, and said: "The Western Regions is the same as my dynasty, and the arms of the army are roughly divided into navy and army, and the so-called navy is the boat division, and the army ......."

In ancient times, the navy was called a boat division, a naval army or a naval division, and the army included a variety of troops, including chariots, infantry, crossbowmen, cavalry, etc., and there were very few naval battles in the era of cold weapons and lackluster combat examples. Before the Han Dynasty, the war has been based on chariot soldiers, that is, chariot attacks, after entering the Western Han Dynasty, because of the need to face the strong iron cavalry of the Xiongnu Empire, the chariot war was no longer useless and was eliminated, and the cavalry occupied the first place in the army arms.

No matter what the class is, it's just a different name, and I deliberately use modern terminology to ask for the emperor's amazement, so that he can look at me differently, so that I can make more demands.

"Whether it is the navy or the army, as the saying goes, it is easy to get a good general. In my Han Dynasty, the discovery and use of military talents is very passive, the capable military generals in the court, such as General Cheng and General Li, are really only a handful, every accident in the war, in case they are unfortunately martyred, the court is in a hurry There is no general, Your Majesty has been planning to use troops against the Xiongnu for a long time, why never thought of this section?"

"Go on. The Emperor listened attentively.

I pretended to be profound, and talked eloquently: "In order to avoid this unsustainable situation, the Western Regions State has invested special material and financial resources to open a kind of official school, called the Military Academy. Every autumn, young men and women from all over the country are recruited as students, ranging from three years to four years, and are specially taught in military affairs.

The so-called intelligence is to collect information about the enemy, and intelligence personnel are equivalent to the scouts of the Han Dynasty, and the collection and use of intelligence can directly or indirectly determine the outcome of the war, so this knowledge is very important. There are also naval departments and army courses, which have a wide range of contents, such as army management, strategy and tactics, army command, military operations research, and weapons science. All teachers are experienced military generals or people with specializations.

In this way, the state pays for the initiative to train military personnel, and these specially trained people can be used at any time if needed. The minister thinks that for the sake of long-term planning, why doesn't Your Majesty use this method to establish a military official school, and pay special attention to cultivating cavalry command talents, so that when the Xiongnu are used in the future, why worry that no one can use them?"

It was evident that the Emperor was deeply moved by these words, and his eyes no longer had the haze of plotting against me mocking me, but became bright and fiery, focused on my face.

Don't worship me too much, even teenagers know this common sense in our country.

I laughed in my heart.

The emperor sighed slightly, almost inaudible, and said, "Let Liu Qing make this first vase, I really wronged you." ”

Well, whatever he meant, he accepted it as a compliment.

I grinned and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty will not be wrong in the conclusion you have weighed. ”

I would not be naïve to think that only by the persuasion of Princess Pingyang, this cold, arrogant, and self-respecting emperor will let me go, he is the kind of person who will never give up until he reaches his goal. Now I retreat to the next best thing and let me be a female official, which is naturally the result of "weighing". After all, he is smart and knows that women are easy to come by, but talents are hard to find. In a word, he Liu Che still has a place to use my Liu Dan, otherwise how would he endure me so far?(So it seems that Princess Pingyang chose the second path for me is indeed for my good, how can the emperor allow me to become a commoner who will never be able to face the saint?If I choose this one, I don't know what trouble is waiting for me.) ）

In fact, the most helpless one is me, if I hadn't relied on these so-called knowledge, fighting wits and courage with the emperor to bargain, I was afraid that I would have become meat on the chopping board for him to slaughter.

The emperor did not speak, but looked at me with a judgmental gaze. I spoke again, and automatically asked: "The minister is also from the Western Regions Military Academy, if Your Majesty does not give up, he is willing to use it, and he will not give up." ”

The emperor groaned and asked, "Does Qing have a detailed plan?"

Of course there is, it's just come to mind, and it's very self-believing.

I said: "The minister has thought about it, the scale can be smaller at the beginning, and then gradually expanded, the minister's Xiao Liu Pavilion can be temporarily used as a military academy after a little renovation, and then expand the site to set up places such as physical training, riding training and actual combat exercises, and the minister's disciples can also be converted into official students, the initial quota is forty, Cheng Buzhi General, General Li Guang, Imperial Historian Han Anguo, Daxing Wang Hui and ministers, etc., can be the teachers of the school, each according to the time to teach all the learning. In addition, when he supervised the construction of the saddle in the examination room, he had studied the weapons of our army and felt that some areas could be better improved, so he asked His Majesty to allow me to enter and leave the arsenal and the examination room at any time to develop weapons more suitable for the cavalry. ”

If you don't want to be tempted now, I, Liu Dan, will give you my head.

It's not that I'm a slave and a servant who automatically sacrifices treasures, for freedom, in order to go home, I have to pay the corresponding price, it's a military academy, and it's a research weapon, so naturally I can't lock up the palace like an ordinary palace maid, not only to avoid sexual harassment, but also to cheapen my actions. Now it depends on the emperor's own choice, whether he really wants a vase that can be seen from a distance and cannot be played with, or a good material that can be used.

After a while, the emperor said: "I have heard a lot about the Western Regions, but as you said, why have I never heard of it?"

I blinked quickly and said, "This ...... Your Majesty, there seems to be a slight discrepancy between the Western Regions mentioned by the minister and the Western Regions known to Your Majesty. In fact, the real Western Regions has a vast territory, with mountains, seas, and deserts, and there are many countries, some of which are advanced and rich, and some of which are poor and backward. The country in which the minister is located belongs to the former. It's just that it's too far away from the Han Dynasty, and you have to cross the sea by boat, and you have to ride a horse and a car, and the minister will spend three years on the road, otherwise he will definitely take His Majesty to see it in person. ”

The emperor is suddenly so interested in the Western Regions, he will not covet the wealth of others and raise the heart of aggression, then I am miserable, I have to be forced to be a guide, simply say the distance further, let him dispel this absurd idea.

The emperor was slightly stunned, and suspicion suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Three years? I remember the last time Liu Qing mentioned this matter, he said that he had been returning from the Western Regions for a year?"

Oops! I don't remember telling too many lies, so I'm a goof. It seems that it is really necessary to learn from Lord Wei and record the lies he told on paper to remind himself at all times.

My mind raced, and I tried to say calmly, "This ...... Oh, there must be something wrong with the minister's expression, in fact, the minister spent a year drifting on the sea, and then kept getting lost, and it took a year, and the last year crossed the desert before returning to the Han Dynasty. ”

Observing the emperor's expression, his eyes were sharp and his expression was cold, and he could see that he didn't believe it at all, I was in a hurry, stepped forward and walked a few steps and said: "The minister will never dare to deceive Your Majesty, it is better to do this, the minister will draw a rough map of the Western Regions to your Majesty, and Your Majesty will know that what the minister said is true." ”

The emperor didn't believe it, knowing that it was not easy to obtain a complete topographic map of the county and state capital in that era, let alone such a vast area as I said?

Hey, it's all a lie.

The emperor ordered someone to bring a pen and cloth, and I drew a map of the world with the memory in my mind, of course, I can be simple and simple, and I can omit it, such as South America, Australia and Antarctica.

I pointed to the map and explained to the emperor one by one: "This is the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and this is the Atlantic Ocean." The continent we are on is called Asia, and the Han Dynasty is here. Across the sea from us is the Americas. This vast land to the west is the Western Regions, and there are many countries in the Western Regions, and across the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, and then across the English Channel, is the United Kingdom, where I was born and raised, and lived here until I was twenty-four years old. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and glared at me: "I'm lying again, the so-called round sky, as you painted, doesn't the surrounding sea water flow down, how can it still exist on the ground?"

I flattened my mouth, really, I had to teach him natural common sense.

Take a pen and draw a large circle around the map, and solemnly tell him: "The place where we live is called the earth. The ball is round, not square. ”

The emperor's face became even more ugly: "Nonsense, if it is round, won't all the people of the mountains and rivers fall into the void?"

"Yes, that's right. I picked up the brush with two fingers, "Your Majesty, please look at ......" As soon as my hand was released, the brush fell to the ground. The emperor looked at the brush and then at me, very inexplicable.

I picked up the pen and said: "There is a man named Newton in England, one day he was sleeping under an apple tree, and an apple fell and hit him, which triggered his inspiration, and found that once all objects lose their support, they will fall to the ground, so he discovered gravity, and everything on the earth is attracted by this gravity, and the mountains, waters, and people are all firmly nailed to the ground, and no one will fall into the void." ”

The emperor was skeptical when he heard it, as if he understood it or not, but in fact, I was the same, I didn't know the process at all, I only knew the result.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe me?" I was so anxious that beads of sweat almost fell. To be honest, I only know a little about astronomy, geography, physics, mathematics, and other subjects, and I can't explain them in detail, and if he doesn't believe me, I'm completely out of control.

The Emperor nodded suddenly and said, "I believe you this time. ”

Huh? It was unexpected.

The emperor stared at me and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know Liu Qing, why do I believe you?"

How do I know which nerve you have misaligned?

The emperor smiled, with a hint of mockery: "Because your impatience is overflowing, I believe in you." ”

It's that simple?

The emperor's smile was a little peculiar, and he said: "Liu Qing, you are the most knowledgeable and talented woman I have seen, even a man can not compare, but the ancients said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, I didn't think so before, but now I have a deep feeling, Liu Qing is too talented and not affectionate, too calm and scheming, for women, I am afraid that it is a curse not a blessing." ”

I was stunned, I couldn't make a noise in the local area, recently for various purposes, I was too sharp, I was afraid that I would violate the emperor's jealousy.

Sitting on the throne, the emperor's eyes flickered, and finally sighed heavily, not knowing what he was sorry for, and said: "I still have many doubts in my heart, but today you are injured, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, for the time being, you will return to the house to recuperate, and everything will be discussed after you are injured." ”

I pointed to the heavy rules of female officials: "Then this, the minister......"

The emperor waved his hand tiredly: "No, no need." ”

"Yes, the minister retired. I turned around and exited the Xuanshu Palace, and before going out, I turned back and saw the emperor perched high on the throne, his eyes fixed on a certain place, and he was stunned.

After another successful pass, it stands to reason that I should be relaxed and happy, but for some reason, the mood is heavy and extremely unhappy.

Maybe it's because of the emperor's sentence "too talented and not emotional, too calm and scheming"?

Am I really like that, or have I only been like that since I came here?

Reason, stratagem, lies, countermeasures, calculations, as if these things had filled my life and life, about feelings, about love, about all good things, seemed to be fading away, from my side, from my heart, I could no longer feel it.

How long will it take? Or when I finally get out of it, I'll be molded and can't recover.
