Quick Wear: Host, are you playing here?

After a period of flattery, some ministers finally started to talk about business. Gao Huang had escaped, and the Western Yi envoys who had already begun peace talks suddenly postponed the negotiations in various ways, obviously they had received some news.

Xiao Lie knew the most about border affairs. Xiyi had envoys visiting several nearby countries, which seemed like signs of an alliance. Gao Huang's escape trail extended all the way to the border, so it was hard not to connect the two.

If it weren't for the Western Yi Rebellion, Xiao Lie would have rebelled and come to power long ago. It was also because of the Western Yi Rebellion that Gao Huang had the opportunity to turn things around. The two must have been in cahoots.

Xiao Lie once again requested permission to go to war. He was the best general and also had the best sword. He handed the handle to her and she swung it.

Hua Xia agreed. In the court, all the civil and military officials were deep in thought. They wished for a victory in advance, boosted morale, and looked at the person at the top - the empress of the Dayan Dynasty, with respect and awe.

Gao Huang succeeded in his rebellion and thought the situation was settled, so he exposed his subordinates' property and even transferred part of it to the national treasury, which was now full. Previously, Your Majesty had condoned Xiao Lie's various acts in order to win over his heart. Look, Xiao Lie took the initiative to ask for permission to lead the army, so what about the foreign alliance? There is no need to be afraid.

Looking at the whole process, everyone can't help but exclaim, Your Majesty has good means and strategies!

The Minister of Revenue was someone Hua Xia had allowed Xiao Lie to send up. As a first-rank minister in the court, he knew more about the full treasury and matters related to Xiao Lie than anyone else, and the news was regularly reported to the palace.

Standing outside the gate of Quejing again, this time Zhao Zhuo was the only one waiting. He saw the emperor's carriage from afar. Zhao Zhuo could not just turn around and leave like his prince, because the generals of the team were still in the emperor's carriage.

"I don't know when I can return..."

"Why doesn't your majesty speak?"

Hua Xia sighed: "Didn't you ask for permission to go?"

Xiao Lie was unhappy after hearing this. He clasped Hua Xia's hand, lifted her sleeve and bit it: "Your Majesty, you are unintentional."

Hua Xia hissed, "I am Wuxin. I want to make you toothless now. I will beat you to the ground with one punch until your teeth are nowhere to be found."

250: [......] Just thinking about that scene, I just can’t bear to look at it…

The person was not hit, but the bite was even harder.

He feels wronged, right?

"Your Majesty, please do not go to the brothel to drink again."

"understood."

"Your Majesty must not be alone with men."

"You should go quickly."

Endless and endless.

After the team set off and moved away from Quejing, Zhao Zhuo brought up to the prince again how Gao Huang's rebellion was successful but he was suddenly defeated. He also mentioned the strangeness of the palace and His Majesty. There were no traces of the existence of the palace secret guards, but that didn't mean they really didn't exist.

Besides this, there is another possibility.

His Majesty started planning this a long time ago, and perhaps he did not trust Gao Huang from the beginning. Those people Gao Huang thought were his, including the imperial guards in the palace and his private soldiers, were actually His Majesty's people. Gao Huang was good at business and had wealth that could rival a country.

This is your Majesty's purpose.

As for the possibility that His Majesty could quell the unrest on his own, it was not within Zhao Zhuo's consideration. After all, all the strange and supernatural things in the world are false.

Since His Majesty was able to find the prince before them, there must be someone who has been secretly following the prince's whereabouts. Zhao Zhuo brought up the matter again, hoping that the prince would be more careful in everything and always leave some escape routes.

"Your Majesty..."

A dark light flashed across Xiao Lie's eyes quickly and disappeared in an instant. He raised the reins and rode forward, as if he didn't want to listen.

Several countries on the border wanted to unite, but failed to reach an agreement. Under Xiao Lie's army of hundreds of thousands, several countries became affiliates of Dayan and had to pay tribute every year.

The escaped Gao Huang was found at the border of Xiyi. As luck would have it, Gao Huang was picked up by Shen Yue who went up the mountain to collect herbs. After Shen Yue learned of Gao Huang's identity, she exchanged Gao Huang for a condition. She wanted to open a clinic in Dayan and needed an identity token to prevent trouble.

Xiao Lie agreed.

He did not go with the army, but returned to Quejing alone.

It was already late at night when he entered the city. After thinking for a while, he still climbed into the palace. It was already late at night when he entered the emperor's bedroom. He climbed onto the dragon bed skillfully, put Hua Xia's hand on his waist, and pulled her into his arms. As he moved, he heard the person in his arms mutter softly: "Xiao Lie, are you sick?"

Not only did he come back in the middle of the night and climb through the window, he also had to wake her up.

Xiao Lie palely argued, "Your Majesty is shallow."

The next day, Xiao Lie came out of His Majesty's bedroom. Yuan Jian was already used to it, but he still reminded him, "Your Majesty, you can go through the main entrance from now on. His Majesty has ordered it."

Xiao Lie felt a little embarrassed when he heard about the incident of climbing through the window and onto the dragon bed. He turned around and walked back into the palace.

The matter of rewarding soldiers based on their merits was handed over to Xiao Lie. After all, no one knew the merits of the soldiers better than him. Of course, the memorials submitted by court officials were also handed over to Xiao Lie for processing.

Even the ministers who came to give advice in the Imperial Study were all directed to Xiao Lie.

Everyone suddenly realized that they had originally guessed that His Majesty was using Xiao Lie, but now... now their guess has been confirmed!

Your Majesty is just being lazy!

The memorials submitted at the beginning of the month are often returned at the end of the month. When you open them, you will find "I know" written inside. What do they know? ? ? ! ! !

The court officials became a little irritated when they thought about it.

However, after the prince took over, the efficiency of handling matters increased sharply. All the civil and military officials turned a blind eye and sighed in private that the Prince of Zhenbei worked hard. Not only did he lead the army to fight in person when there was a war, but on weekdays, he had nothing to do, and he had to handle government affairs during the day and sleep with His Majesty at night?

Hua Xia said they were a bunch of fools, they should just feel sorry for your dear Majesty!

All the soldiers were rewarded except Xiao Lie. The rewards for the soldiers were issued by Xiao Lie, so he naturally had to ask His Majesty for his reward.

"Your Majesty, where is my reward?" Xiao Lie's low and hoarse voice sounded, almost biting Hua Xia's ear, "Your Majesty..."

"His Majesty......"

Hua Xia closed her eyes: "Reward...you..."

The voice was intermittent, Xiao Lie couldn't hear clearly, so he moved closer and heard the word "head" pop out from the tip of his teeth.

He raised his head, his eyes focused, not caring at all, his eyes were filled with joy: "Your Majesty, I will ask for the reward myself."

"I wish to share the same bed with your majesty...in life and in death."

Beneath the joy is a deeply hidden stubbornness; the person before him is the one who has given up everything for his ultimate destination.

-

On the anniversary of the old Marquis Zhenbei's death, Xiao Lie left the palace and returned to the old mansion. He said nothing about Li Zhao's secret order to delay the reinforcements, as if nothing had come between them. He took a half-month leave, and when he came back everything was normal.

The palace began to prepare for the late autumn hunting in the hunting grounds. According to previous practice, officials of the third rank and above would accompany the hunt.

Inside the palace, Yuan Jian excitedly talked about what he had heard before. He used to be a eunuch in the Imperial Pharmacy but had never been to the hunting ground with the imperial physician. He only heard that the hunted animals were roasted until sizzling and greasy, and were particularly delicious. Everyone in the palace had the opportunity to get a piece or two.

Yuan Jian asked her, "Your Majesty, is the roasted meat really that delicious?"

Hua Xia: “…” How does she know? She hasn’t eaten it either…

Yuan Jian suddenly saw a tall figure walking in from outside, and straightened his back: "Your Majesty, I will withdraw first."
