Qu clear as promised

The accounts were confusing, Zhu Zhiyi read carefully and devotedly, until he put a cup of tea soup in his hand, he felt that he was already so thirsty that his throat seemed to be on fire.

He took a sip, it was warm and elegant, with endless sweetness, Zhu Zhiyi boasted: "This tea——"

Only then did he realize: "Your Majesty?"

Liang Hui smiled: "How about this tea?"

Zhu Zhiyi glanced at the other people who were pretending to be working hard, suddenly her face became hot, and she said in a low voice: "This tea is very good, when did the emperor come?"

Liang Hui took the tea in his hand, covered the tea bowl, looked at him and said, "The future will come."

It's been a while since I came here: "Why doesn't the emperor call me a minister?" Zhu Zhiyi was embarrassed to be called by him as a palace servant for so long.

Liang Hui stared at him with a half-smile: "It's the rules that are too serious." When he came, Zhu Zhiyi and Zhang He were looking at the map head-to-head, talking eloquently, and he didn't disturb others. I watched silently by the door for a while, and walked in after they finished speaking.

The people Zhu Zhiyi chooses are not the ones in the pool, all of them are talented, well-educated, and have outstanding talents. It can be seen that they all obey Zhu Zhiyi, and it can even be said... some rely on Zhu Zhiyi, and they are from poor families. Scholars, unrecognized talents, used to being cold-eyed, used to being on the bench, been suppressed for a long time, suddenly a good opportunity came, he was favored by others, a little scared, uncomfortable, inevitably some fledgling plot.

Zhu Zhiyi is their bole, and he is upright, patient, tolerant, and well-known, which really makes people trust and give people a sense of security. Liang Hui is even suspicious. Some people see signs of vigilance and a sense of crisis in him. I hope I am wrong.

Liang Hui folded the wide sleeves for Zhu Zhiyi with a smile, and sat directly beside him: "Look at yours, I will watch the memorial later."

"..."

The rest of the people looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and dared not show their breath. It turned out that the emperor and empress were like this in private.

Liang Hui said he was looking at the memorial, but from time to time he would grind ink, add tea, and refill the incense. Zhu Zhiyi hesitated again and again, but still approached him and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is not right."

Liang Hui stared at him for two seconds, then leaned closer to him suddenly, blinked, tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Liang Hui whispered as if he was whispering to others: "Their new officials are taking office, and they are doing all kinds of things that offend the big shots. It is inevitable that they will feel a little uncertain and restrained. Only when they have a firm understanding of our relationship can they really let go. do it."

These people were single-handedly picked up by Zhu Zhiyi, and Zhu Zhiyi's label was naturally posted on the court where the parties are clearly divided. Only when Liang Hui has a deep and intimate affection for their queen, and there is no gap between their hearts, can they have backing and confidence Just let go and do it.

"..." Zhu Zhiyi frowned, feeling a little unreasonable, but it seemed reasonable, so he had to let him go.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the day when the eldest princess leaves the palace is bright and clear, and the sky is cloudless.

The emperor and the empress led the imperial guards to the gate of the city, and the son-in-law bowed and bowed: "Thank you, the emperor, for seeing you off a hundred miles away. Once Zhongyuan is over, it will be windy in autumn. Go back and pay attention to the body of the dragon."

Zhu Zhiyi smiled lightly: "Your son-in-law has a smooth journey, and you must protect the princess well."

The eldest princess poked her head out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage without taking the hand of the maid, and came over to give Zhu Zhiyi a few words, and finally looked at Liang Hui with sharp eyes in calmness.

Liang Hui smiled modestly, and asked, "What advice does the eldest princess have?" He doesn't call her aunt, and he has no affection for Liang, but she is kind to Zhu Zhiyi after all.

The eldest princess didn't care that he was the emperor, and waved straight away. Liang Hui actually walked over with a good temper, bowed to listen, and it was all for Zhu Zhiyi's sake.

The eldest princess said in a low voice with only two voices: "Zhu Qinggui insists on helping you, I have no choice."

Liang Hui raised his eyebrows.

The eldest princess raised her chin: "But if you let me know that you betrayed him, one hundred thousand Southern Xinjiang cavalry will surely flatten Gyeonggi."

The smile on Liang Hui's mouth was suppressed, and he said seriously: "I will not let him down."

The princess didn't seem to believe it, she sneered, turned around and got into the carriage.

Lining up for a long journey, Zhu Zhiyi asked curiously, "What did the princess and the emperor say?"

"Princess said one by one." Liang Hui thought a lot, and smiled slightly, "If that day really comes, you won't help me."

Zhu Zhiyi was startled: "Then what did the emperor say?"

Liang Hui stopped laughing, looked into his eyes quietly, and said softly, "I said——I know."

Zhu Zhiyi pursed her lips into a line, and after a moment of silence, said: "Did the emperor say that on purpose?"

Liang Hui looked down at the withered vegetation on the side of the road: "Why do you say that?"

"Is the emperor still angry on that day?" He took the initiative to mention the day when it was not appropriate to withdraw military power.

"No."

"That's right," Zhu Zhiyi repeated to Liang Hui exactly what he said to the princess that day, "I think I can't eliminate the most fundamental rift and conflict between the emperor and the princess. To live up to one’s original heart and to have a clear conscience.”

Liang Hui was not surprised, and smiled: "It's your temper."

Zhu Zhiyi thinks that this is the most neutral and rational position he can think of, but Liang Hui doesn't seem happy: "Does the emperor think that the minister's thinking is wrong?"

Liang Hui shook his head, his face was still soft, but he stopped talking.It's because he wants too much, strong and fiery loyalty, preference regardless of the reason, and trust that will never betray, he finds it difficult to express.

Why is he?Why?Why do you reach out to Zhu Zhiyi, but Zhu Zhiyi doesn't love him.

"emperor?"

Liang Hui came back to his senses: "No, you did the right thing."

After he finished answering, he stopped talking, and Zhu Zhiyi didn't know what to say, so the two returned to the palace without a word.

As soon as the palace gate opened, Si Zheng, who had been waiting in the Wangfeng Pavilion for a long time, rushed over to report anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the front line is here to report—"

"Langyi's large contingent of imperial merchants entered Shuzhong, and now they have crossed the Yuanshui line."

Both of them were shocked!

The Imperial Merchant Corps is different from ordinary caravans. There are a large number of martial arts escorts accompanying them, and the huge cargo capacity is also hidden to transport weapons or prohibited items into the country.

Daliang has always been strict with the entry inspections of imperial merchants from other countries. If they exceed a certain scale, they have to report to each other for instructions. Now that Lang Yi can penetrate into Sichuan so easily, it is obviously because King Fu in the southwest of the earth's center intends to let them go.

The two rushed to the Minghui Palace, Shi Daoan hurriedly got up to pay his respects, and reported: "The bows and arrows in the east were not stopped, and they had already moved their hiding places when the imperial army searched."

Liang Hui sneered and said, "Fu Wang hooks Donglang on the inside, and Lang Yi on the outside. The heart of a thief is clearly revealed!"

Zhu Zhiyi listened silently, bowing her head in thought.

Shi Daoan replied: "Yes, and the border line of entry is likely to be controlled by them. It is really chilling down the spine that Lang Yi's army can pass Yuanshui without a sound."

Liang Huiyou said: "The barbarians and foreigners in the Langyi area dare to cross the border and covet Daliang. I think it's better to choose a day—"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" Shi Daoan knew what he wanted to do, and persuaded in a low voice, "Don't send troops rashly. They are just the emperor's army, not the army. First of all, it is in the arms of King Fu."

Liang Hui pursed his lips and was noncommittal.

The sky is high in the southwest, the emperor is far away, and the vassals are self-reliant. It is really difficult for the higher-ups to intervene. Zhu Zhiyi frowned and suggested: "Then why not send a sneak guard to detect first, so as not to overwhelm the enemy."

Liang Hui raised his eyes: "Then the Privy Envoy, who do you think is suitable?"

Zhu Zhiyi: "Your Majesty, it is very appropriate for a minister to look after a minister."

Liang Hui was silent.

Zhu Zhiyi began to lobby him with good reasons: "The case of the Jiangjin Salt Division is now in the hands of the minister, and the minister found that a large number of gold and silver tickets hidden in the salt transport team were changed in different post stations, and most of them were very late. It may be transported to the southwest, because there was a ticket seal in the middle of Shu on the account. Although it was destroyed and washed, the minister restored the pattern by splicing and comparing all the stamps in the south. Board."

"The method is the same as this time's storage of grain and grass to practice arrows, and it is used to deceive the sky and cross the sea."

"If it is true, it is very likely that King Fu colluded with King Donglang ten years ago. Now that the Langyi foreign clan is involved, King Fu just wants to be attacked by the enemy, external disturbance and internal turmoil, and things are not peaceful. It can be seen that when he planned to rebel Long days, long preparations."

It's just that the first emperor was stupid and didn't know that what he left for Liang Hui was not a peaceful and prosperous world, but a mess full of holes. Zhu Zhiyi and Liang Hui were busy repairing it, but they could still hear the sound from far away. There was a disturbing howling wind.

Shi Daoan looked at Zhu Zhiyi in a daze, and the rumors in his heart were true, but: "Think twice, the ancients said that the road to Shu was difficult to reach the blue sky, the border between Lang and Yi, the terrain in the west of Shu, the vast land in the southwest, and the Longcuo in the west of Shu. The glaciers have not melted for many years, the snow-capped mountains are the natural barrier, and the raging Yuanshui is the natural moat. Elite cavalry and proficient sailors are required to take the lead. Queens and empresses are precious, so it is not appropriate to—"

Zhu Zhiyi shook his head: "Before the cholera in my family and country, no one was rich. I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Besides, the case in Jiangjin is in my hands. I will never let it go, and I will never pass it on to others."
