Xiao Zhi and Lord Qin

Xiao Zhi squatted in the turret with Mr. Qin after New Year's Eve, Mr. Qin resigned and returned home. He still had too much work to deal with.

Master Qin tried his best to clean up the mess that fell into Xiao Zhi's hands, so as not to drag Xiao Zhi any further.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help at first, and didn't want to make trouble, so he had to reluctantly send Master Qin to the palace gate before stopping.

When Xiaozhi returned to the bedroom, Concubine Hui was still awake, she was staring at the candlestick with wide open eyes in a daze.

Concubine Hui didn't move when she heard the little one coming in, she just mumbled, "You're back?"

Xiao Zhi felt that something was wrong with her, so he walked a few steps closer to her worriedly and asked, "What's the matter?" As he was speaking, he saw a letter on the table by her hand.

Concubine Hui's stiff body stretched a little when she heard Xiao Zhi's voice, and there was a smile on her face: "Brother sent a letter, and I fell into a trance for some reason."

Xiao Zhi screened off the others, and then said worriedly: "Isn't it going well for General Li?"

Concubine Hui shook her head: "My brother didn't mention it, he just wrote some words of New Year's greetings. Maybe it went well? He said... His New Year's wish is about to come true?"

Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile in his eyes: "That's good. What is Concubine Hui's New Year's wish?"

Concubine Hui looked at the familiar face of the emperor, but found that that face seemed to have changed beyond recognition. The smile she had tried to hold up was instantly shattered, and tears filled her eyes.

Xiaozhi looked at her in a panic, at a loss: "What's wrong with you? Has anyone made you unhappy?"

Concubine Hui felt even more sad when she saw the emperor's appearance, her tears couldn't stop flowing down and fell on her clothes.

Xiao Zhi seemed to realize something: "Do you want the emperor to come back?"

Concubine Hui gritted her teeth and shook her head when she heard the words, there was already a prelude to howling.

But the little monk Erzhang couldn't figure it out and felt dizzy: "Then what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Hui ignored him, and she began to cry heartbroken.

After circling the house several times anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, he saw Concubine Hui still crying wholeheartedly there, probably because he had given up on himself, and sat down on the chair beside Concubine Hui, with a face It is already bearish about life and death.

Not long after Concubine Hui cried, the momentum slowed down, she started to sob herself, and said intermittently: "My brother asked me what my New Year's wish is this year... I thought of the emperor coming back from the beginning, and I was very happy at first, but After thinking about the emperor coming back, I don't want him to come back. The emperor doesn't like me anymore, I know that even if the emperor comes back, he won't like me anymore..."

Xiao Zhi really didn't know how to comfort her, the relationship has always been a matter of your love and my wish.

Concubine Hui didn't expect this either.

After she finished speaking, she waited for her emotions to stabilize, fixed her face in front of the mirror, and returned to her bedroom.

Xiao Zhi looked at her back, one day, would he confess his feelings to Mr. Qin?

Shaking his head, Xiao Zhi hastily rejected this idea, he thinks the current appearance is pretty good.

Xiao Zhi stood up to pour a cup of tea, but found that General Li's Concubine Xin Hui had left on the table and forgot to take it.

He picked up the letter and observed the shape of the characters. General Li's characters were strong and powerful, with a skeleton like bamboo, very beautiful.

In fact, he learned some characters secretly during this time, but he only recognized a few scattered characters in this letter, and it was difficult to piece together a sentence.Only the last four words he happened to know: Can you be with me?

What does this sentence mean?The little one couldn't understand it.He sighed and helped Concubine Hui put away the letter, and rested when he was about to wash it.

Concubine Hui remembered that the letter had been left behind by the emperor when she was lying on the bed, but she was not worried, anyway, the emperor was illiterate now, and there was nothing shady in the letter.Originally, she thought Xiao was just a lady from a family in the capital, but then she realized that there is no lady who can't read?But how did she know Mr. Qin?And he is no stranger to the palace.Even, are you very familiar with some of the emperor's habits?Later, Concubine Hui thought that she was very likely to be a palace maid...

At this time, Concubine Hui tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and remembered the last sentence in General Li's letter. She couldn't figure it out, why would her brother ask her if her wish was the same as his?What is brother's wish?

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, in addition to the New Year greetings from the ministers, the Emperor also received the letter from General Li - an urgent military report.

The news is not so good. Compared with the past, this year's cold winter is really too long.Those nomads could no longer survive their food reserves. At this time, their tribes were gathering together, and the number was increasing every day. It seemed that they were going to fight General Li and the others to the death.

General Li came to ask the emperor for money and soldiers.

The emperor's head hurts.

Everyone in the household department has a headache.

Everyone in the Ministry of War is in pain.

The accounts of the Ministry of Accounts had been sorted out, and everyone was very flustered, and found that the expenses in various aspects were astonishingly large, and it was surprisingly astonishing.Even if they have received a lot of benefits, they don't have such a big hole!

It may be that the peace and prosperity have lasted for too long, and the Ministry of War has always been a very non-existent department in the eyes of the emperor.

But after all, it is a public office, with leisure and money, so now the various official positions are full of children of everyone who eat and drink.Now hearing that they may be going to the battlefield, everyone wants to go home from illness.

Xiaozhi was not very happy that he didn't find Mr. Qin among the ministers today.Now that such a big incident happened again, he felt even more disturbed.

Everyone saw that the emperor remained silent with a cold face, and those ministers who were irrelevant for the time being hurriedly said their congratulations and left in a hurry.

Seeing that someone escaped smoothly, those ministers whose names were not mentioned also cautiously expressed their congratulations and bid farewell cautiously.

The people in the household department did not know who had an insight, saying that the matter was of great importance, and they had to discuss the decision with the household department adult who was still sick in bed. After speaking, seeing that the emperor did not object, a group of people took the opportunity to leave.

The rest of the prime minister shook his head: "Internal and external troubles, internal and external troubles, why don't the old ministers go to the Tai Tuo to discuss it?"

Tai Tu didn't like the emperor, and had already taken sick leave for many years.The emperor never urged him to go to court, and he was happy to be at leisure.After all, everyone knows that Tai Tuo likes the third prince back then.

After the prime minister left, only the Ministry of War remained in the hall.

Maybe it was because the smoke stove in the hall was too hot, and they felt it was very hot.

"Your Majesty, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and there are so many senior generals..."

"Aren't you all willing to go?" Xiao Zhi interrupted them directly.

Everyone looked up at the emperor, seeing that there was no anger, so you looked at me and I looked at you, encouraging each other to stand up bravely.

"It's fine if you don't want to go, there is another way, you find a way to bring General Ji back."
