Situ Yue sat back on the chair, "Speak."

Liu Feizi panted heavily, "Give me the antidote first."

"You don't even have the qualifications to ask for the antidote now." After Situ Yue finished speaking, he blindfolded Zhu Dan and nodded to the big men who were holding their heads just now. Those big men started from the door, one after another. One wiped the necks of those Taoist priests.Liu Feizi's eyes were so frightened that his eyes went straight. When he got to him, Liu Feizi broke down and shouted, "As long as you swear not to kill me, I will tell you."

"No need, the king will find out by himself. Even if you tell the king, it may not be true. Rather than telling lies and misleading the king before you die, it is better for the king to check it out by himself. That’s just a few. If you have something to say, tell the brothers on Huangquan Road.”

The big man grabbed Liu Feizi's bun, put the knife on his neck, and Liu Feizi shouted, "I say, I say."

"When you are about to die, do you still want to negotiate terms with me? If you really want to say it, you would have yelled out when the knife was on your neck. You are not waiting for me to ask you a question. Why are you standing there, me?" Are you brothers afraid that you won’t be able to find out and kill your father and enemy? Do it, don’t pay attention to him.”

"Huo Huo..." Liu Feizi yelled two words, and the big man took down the knife and ended his life.

The people in the hall pulled the body out, and Chen Qi came up to ask. "My lord, the family members of the Wang family are all behind, how to deal with it?"

"Naturally, praise the weeds and eradicate the roots. Do it beautifully, and don't let anyone escape."

In the evening, Master Wang's mansion caught fire, and everyone was unable to put out the rescue. I heard that Master Wang was entertaining guests at home at night. He was frying fish in the kitchen.That night, the town's strong men were urged to go to the Wang's house to fight the fire by the village chief's knock on the door, and the inn was noisy because of this. Situ Yue stood at the window watching, the flames were soaring into the sky.

The next day, the town's arresters came here to interrogate Situ Yue and his party. They only said that they were from the Huo family in Jiangbei. The Taoist master is here so I can go on.

Situ Yue had a cold face, he had the Chen brothers and the government to explain.

Time passed quickly. After wandering around the town for half a month, the county magistrate hastily closed the case, saying it was retribution from the underworld, and he was perfunctory when reporting it. The Shangguan did not bother to investigate. Everyone died, and no one came to cry for injustice and beat the drums. The sidelines were fighting endlessly for the few properties left by Mr. Wang, and no one cared how the sufferer died.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Situ thought more and more about going back to Luoyang. Not only did he have a privately owned mansion there, but it was more comfortable to live in. More importantly, the news was passed there very quickly.Let the Chen brothers give the local county magistrate a New Year's gift, and repay him for not using torture tools.Then the men and horses got ready, settled the rent, and hurried to Luoyang.

Before the troops arrived at their destination, the news from the capital was delivered to Situ Yue.Not surprisingly, Jiang Qin was defeated and returned to the court.The army retreated more than 100 miles, and confronted the army of Qianxiang Kingdom far away.A large area of ​​land on the border was lost in vain, and many scholar-bureaucrats in the court expressed their intention to send Jiang Qin to prison.

Throughout history, in the era when two emperors were in court together, the struggle for power in the palace was very exciting, but this was not the case in the current dynasty. The emperor was kind and handed over a lot of power. Today, the emperor has a very thorough control over the Ministry of War .Imakami himself also knows some things about marching. He personally went to meet Jiang Qin outside the city, took his hand to the palace, and comforted him with gentle words. , Vow to recover the lost land.In the evening, when the monarch and ministers talked about the root cause of the defeat, Jiang Qin said it bluntly.

"The fact that the officers and men were unable to breathe was part of the reason for this expedition. For this, the minister recruited local brave men, and those brave men worked hard. At first, they were evenly matched with the enemy. Until last month, the grain and grass sent by the household department, It is far from enough for the 15 army to use for a month, and it is also my fault for the carelessness of the minister. The enemy army burned the food and grass for ten days. In the end, the army could only go to battle with half full. The only thing that arrived was food, the white medicine and gold sore medicine from the wounded barracks, and the spirits did not come again, and half of the beans were fed to the horses. We have [-] cavalry, and now, the horses can’t move, how can we go to battle?”

"Aiqing will take a short break, and I'll bring the people from the Recruitment Department over here."

After a while, a minister and two servants from the household department arrived at Chongzheng hall.

"Why is there no food and grass?"

The newly appointed Minister of the Household Department is a confidant of the former royal family. Now he is in a high position and he has gone through a lot of troubles. He knows this matter well. It is one thing to know it, but another thing to say it or not , his sons and daughters are married to each other and form an alliance with the families of the court officials, and now everyone is prosperous.

"Back to the emperor, there will be wear and tear in the middle, this is a normal thing."

"Oh," Imakami thought for a while, "then the Ministry of Accounting made a mistake? What do you two adults say?"

The two servants dared not answer, "My Majesty, since King Rong came to Hubu in the past ten years, Hubu has experienced two wars. According to previous calculations, all the losses of the western defenses this time are normal. " After finishing speaking, the two servants knelt on the ground, one picked up the small abacus hanging around his neck, and the other took out the account book from his sleeve, first for the previous year as an example, and then for the last month as an example, and calculated twice, each time The loss is hardly comparable to a fraction of the food and grass escorted to the army.But since Qian Xiangguo invaded, each loss accounted for half of it.Furious today, he dismissed the two servants of the household department and left the new minister alone.

"It's not that I don't want to allocate more silver taels. It's just that there are layers of exploitation in the middle. When we reach the border, there is only so much left. Besides, the new year is approaching, and the grain in Lucang will be distributed to you adults. I also want to learn from it. I opened the Lucang to rescue the emergency, but the princes of the imperial court stopped me one after another, saying that it is so inappropriate and insulting to the gentlemen." After speaking, he cried.

With a snort today, he waved away this confidant feebly, and asked someone to send Jiang Qin home, and sat in the Chongzheng Hall all night by himself.

On the second day, I just went to the Grand Court Meeting today and ran to Xiyuan. The adults had accumulated a lot of words to scold Jiang Qin, but they didn’t have a chance to say it. They went back one by one, and when they left, they were in twos and threes. Let's say together, "The reckless man has misled the country."

The empress dowager often stays in bed after winter. She is getting old, and she was still confused a few years ago. When winter comes, she is sometimes sober and sometimes confused. The emperor goes to pay his respects every morning and evening, and his son is just like that. When the empress dowager was not confused, she still pulled him to talk, but when she was confused, she played with herself.

The imperial doctor tactfully told the emperor that the imperial concubine has been here for two years, so she should prepare her things earlier.

When I arrived today, the Empress Dowager was awake, and when she saw him coming, she took the initiative to say, "Lao Liu is here, I didn't see your wife coming with me."

Today, I greeted the two old people first, and then sat at the dinner table cheekily, while the emperor was serving food for the emperor and concubine.

"Chengyue's daughter has been ill these few days. Mrs. Mei is watching. When the little girl recovers, I will come to greet you."

"Oh, Emperor, is Jun Ming sick too? Why haven't I seen him for several days?"

The emperor glanced at Jin Shang, "Jun Ming is busy now, even I can't see him."

"What is he busy with? Why didn't he come to pay his respects, or I didn't remember him when he came. I vaguely remember if he came with Cheng Yue a few days ago."

It was Cheng Tang who greeted her with Cheng Yue a few days ago, the old lady remembered wrongly.

At this time today, he immediately answered, "Yes, now, Jun Ming stays in the household department all night long, and there is a war, and she wants to allocate money and food."

"Oh, the state affairs, the old lady will not ask."

After breakfast, the emperor returned to the front hall, moved the chrysanthemum pots out to bask in the sun, and cut off the dead branches of the chrysanthemums with a pair of scissors. Today, he was very helpful in moving them together, and he couldn't help but praise the emperor. The flowers are growing well.

"My son took a look at the greenhouse. Those pots of peonies are blooming really well. What's the name Wei Zi?"

The emperor ignored him, and immediately took a pair of scissors, "Father, son, come, son can do these things, you, don't do it." After finishing speaking, he cut it with a click.

The emperor mixed a bowl of mud with water and handed it to Jinshang, "Here, paint the roots."

Imakami very submissively began to apply the yellow mud on the roots with his fingers.

"What's the matter today?"

"Father, where is Junming? Now that the battle is imminent, no matter what the household department can't do without Junming."

"How do I know that my poor grandson is now in that corner of Songshan Mountain? Hey, it's cold, no matter what I want to burn a cotton coat for him."

Jinshang's face twisted a few times, "This is my son's fault. My son shouldn't listen to Niu and Li's slander. I sent their whole family to prison yesterday. Father, at this time, it is our Situ family's Jiangshan Sheji. It's important. Only Jun Ming can hold down the officialdom."

"Don't say that, Jun Ming is already a yellow flower of yesterday, and there are talented people from generation to generation. Maybe there are talented people in the field, waiting for you to pay respects to the corporal."

"Now that the eyebrows are burning, only heavy codes can shock people's hearts. Father, even if there are great sages, he is not as relieved as his relatives."

"You really think so?"

"Yes"

"This time and that time."

Konaka knew this was mocking himself, but he had a thick skin and pretended he didn't understand.

"Sixth, I am partial to my son, and I treat you and your elder brother the same. Now that you are the emperor, you have more thoughts and will contradict me, but you are also my son. I have raised you for so many years, and I can't bear to touch you." Finger, your eldest brother left Chengyue, needless to say, I also put it on my heart, but the most angry person in our family is Junming. Once she has a feud with you, she will definitely retaliate in person. The emperor is for you Alright, let Jun Ming stay far away, if you let her come back now, think it over, she will definitely ask you for an explanation."

"Of course my son knows. If we lose this battle, not to mention that we lost our country for nothing, the Huns in the north will definitely think that we are weak and take advantage of the situation to go south. At that time, powerful enemies around will wait for the opportunity to move, and there will be no peace from now on."

"Report, hurry up at eight hundred miles."

The secret report was delivered to Jinshang, who washed his hands and opened the letter, angrily tore up the letter paper, and said to the emperor, "The navy was defeated, and 42 large ships were burned by the Java State. The soldiers drowned about 3 people. The navy has no power to fight in the past two years."

The emperor let out a long sigh.

"Father, let Junming return to the court as soon as possible, and the navy will say that before the spring, I will take back the land in the west. Otherwise, when the water and grass are abundant, it will be the time when the Turks and the Huns are strong."

On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Dong Tai from the 24th yamen reappeared and brought Situ Yue a letter from the emperor with two words written on it. "Angelica".

The author has something to say: I love you all, I don’t know what happened recently, the click-through rate is getting lower and lower, maybe it’s because it’s too long, but it’s estimated that there will be another [-] words and it will be over.

Love you (* ̄3)(ε ̄*)
