Empress Chongxilong who became a sick and weak emperor

Win without fighting

Song Yan worked conscientiously and non-stop for more than ten days, and almost stopped. At this time, the thick clouds and wind direction had been driven to the nearby sea area by him.

That sea area was somewhat familiar, Song Yan scratched her head, could it be the East China Sea?

But he didn't care, there is nothing more useful than the sea. Besides, how can there be people in the East China Sea? His Majesty's people all live on land. Even in the coastal areas, the wind and waves that Song Yan predicts will not affect people who just go out to sea. .

But Song Yan stopped in her footsteps. Since everyone is here, how could she not bring back some special products.

Song Yan was very moved, so she immediately turned back and started to act.

Donghai is very different from what he remembers, many familiar foods are gone, so he can only take back some that look harmless, non-poisonous, and not ugly.

Because fishermen along the coast could not go deep into the deep sea, Song Yan had a bumper harvest. The food in the sea was far more abundant than on land.

Song Yan happily returned to the palace with a large net carrying all kinds of fish using the teleportation array, and then went to the imperial dining room to have the food processed.

The food in the palace is good, but it has no special features, and it is very boring to eat all day long.

Eventually this ingredient caught up with lunch.

Lunch was served in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, because it was so rich, even if Xu Huaiqing lost his appetite, he developed an appetite.

Xu Huaiqing put down his chopsticks: "Where did you get this?"

His queen can always get weird things, and he is not surprised, but the food in the sea can't be conjured out of thin air, right?

Song Yan was honest: "It's from the East China Sea."

Xu Huaiqing automatically completed the following words, now there are pirates in the East China Sea, and the sea is basically banned.

But at the same time, the imperial court also has generals stationed there, so it is not difficult to get some things from the sea.And Song Yan is a strong general, so many people are convinced, it is possible that the relationship between the East China Sea and the East China Sea can be dredged from which general.

Now that all the stolen goods have been taken into the belly of the emperor, he naturally can't pursue it.

What's more, the minions of the imperial court are all over the world. As long as there is no serious mistake, he usually turns a blind eye to this kind of behavior of not seeking out the people's fat and anointing to create wealth by himself.

How can the wealth created by one's own hands be suppressed?

Xu Huaiqing nodded clearly.With Song Yan around, his somewhat chaotic heart gradually calmed down, and he also had a sense of normalcy in the natural disasters he was about to face.

Although he is very sad about the loss of every natural disaster, he has to go through it every year and he no longer feels that a catastrophe is imminent.

Song Yan let Xu Huaiqing lie in her arms, and he rubbed her belly.

Xu Huaiqing told him about the court affairs, so he couldn't help mentioning Yunlong in the south.

He never expected that it was not the natural disasters that came first, but the dragon-shaped clouds that appeared in the southern sky day after day and caused an uproar in the court.The courtiers were naturally arguing about Xiangrui, and finally congratulated him, the emperor of Naizhenlong, and blessed him with great blessings.

Some of the old ministers also firmly believed that once Jirui came out, it would definitely protect the peace of one side, and that the disaster and flood would definitely be able to retreat without a fight.

Naturally, Xu Huaiqing didn't understand what they were thinking, and even Qin Tianjian, who had always been a master, agreed, saying that there was a glimmer of life, and he was more excited than those old officials.

However, the atmosphere in the capital also suddenly relaxed with the nonsense of Qin Tianjian and the appearance of Yunlong. There were even rumors that the presence of a dragon would surely make the weather smooth, and there was some harmony for a while?

But Xu Huaiqing didn't dare to relax for a moment. He was a little angry, but he didn't show his face. In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Xu family, did he ever do something false? When Yunlong appeared, the natural disaster disappeared?It's better to sing an opera.

However, he didn't pour cold water on him, perhaps because of his imperial bearing, he pampered the courtiers who had been tired for a long time, but in front of Song Yan, he couldn't help but confide.

"Maybe that cloud was blown into that shape by the wind, it's not impossible." Xu Huaiqing spread his hands.

Song Yan paused for a moment, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to stand on the united front with His Majesty, so knowing all the inside information, he said decisively: "I think so too."

Xu Huaiqing's waist was very soft, as if it was spread on Song Yan's legs.

He continued: "Believe in nothingness and pin your hopes on ghosts and gods. The Xu family's emperors have not been so absurd, but now I have so many old-fashioned courtiers. Counting history, the previous dynasty was not because the last emperor wanted to pursue Did Immortality finally mess up the country? After decades of searching, a group of scammers came. When the tomb robbers finally found the corpse, their faces were all black. It didn’t look like a normal corpse, and they were burned alive.”

Song Yan responded: "It's miserable, it's really miserable." But he couldn't help but think that he can live forever, just eat him, he is a heaven and earth spirit, a dragon through and through, prolonging life is not a problem, and immortality is even more worth a try.

Otherwise, why are dragon meat and dragon blood so precious?

Song Yan continued to rub His Majesty's stomach, so every time he feeds the dragon's blood, besides healing the disease, does it indirectly prolong life?

Song Yan was ready to make a move, and really wanted to try it.

Xu Huaiqing didn't notice Song Yan's intentions and continued to be sober: "The other thing is to persuade the emperor not to be superstitious, but why, as the emperor, I have to worry about my ministers going astray?"

Confusion flashed across Song Yan's eyes.

How can belief in ghosts and gods be called superstition? Otherwise, where does the belief of the people come from?

The more Xu Huaiqing talked, the more sober he became. He knew that there is a golden dragon, and maybe there are gods, but relying on gods is not as good as relying on oneself. It is superstition to believe in it!

There are many liars, and they all have their eyes on the emperor, so he has to protect himself and his courtiers by the way.

Song Yan didn't know what to say, and finally said cautiously: "What if the flood really disappears?"

When Xu Huaiqing heard the words, he was quite determined: "Don't take chances."

He stared at Song Yan with burning eyes.

In the end, Song Yan was defeated and firmly clenched her fists to follow, "Your Majesty is right."

Xu Huaiqing nodded in satisfaction.

Another dozen or 20 days have passed. At this time, according to the time that Qin Tianjian originally speculated, he should be able to receive the news now.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xu Huaiqing was sitting loosely, while Song Yan was handling the government affairs on her behalf. Song Yan cooperated very tacitly by herself, and the memorials approved in a short period of time were tired and thick.

At this moment, Wang Fu, who was on duty outside, came in in a panic. His expression changed back and forth, from urgent to suspicious, and finally turned into joy.

"Your Majesty—victory! Destroyed! We won without fighting!!"

He was so excited that he couldn't speak, one word after another popped out.

Xu Huaiqing quickly sat up straight, and his calm expression returned to his face.

Song Yan asked suspiciously, "Why win without fighting?"

I don't understand, they didn't fight, otherwise he should go to the front line first, and enjoy it later.

Wang Fu was dizzy, as if he couldn't even tell the direction, but the joy on his face seemed to directly infect the atmosphere in the room.

He danced and danced: "Donghai, Your Majesty has suffered so much for the pirates at sea!"

Xu Huaiqing reacted: "General Lian wiped out all the bandits?"

General Lian is the commanding general who guards the coast, and has been in a stalemate with the bandits on the East China Sea. Some time ago, Xu Huaiqing guessed that Song Yan's seafood was obtained through General Lian's route.

At this moment, Wang Fu took a deep breath, but didn't complete his sentence, but just nodded fiercely.

At this moment, the strategizing and ruthless Eunuch Wang Fu finally showed the instability of a man in his twenties.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Eastern Pirates held a gathering of leaders on their main island, and all the small ones and big ones went, but suddenly there was a disaster at sea, the waves as high as the mountains, and the wind that uprooted the trees directly wiped out the island. Such a big wave and such a strong wind broke out for two days and two nights, according to the report of the spies, when General Lian went to patrol again, the sea was full of remnants of the huge boats of the bandits, and there was no one on the island."

Wang Fu is in charge of the world's intelligence, and he is faster than General Lian's memorial. He suddenly lost his composure when he received the news in the corridor, and hurried in to report it to the Holy Majesty.

Xu Huaiqing was stunned, he had suffered from Eastern pirates and bandits for a long time, every year manpower and material resources guarded against them, the most serious one was when the late Emperor was alive, he was even beaten to the inland, plundered and then left, trampling his father's face on the ground .

He also thought about fighting, but not now. The big ships for the expedition are still being built, and the soldiers who are familiar with water skills are still training. He needs to be completely sure, just like the Xiongnu.

But the sea bandits are different from the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu can be of some use to him by changing individuals, but it is best to kill the sea bandits directly.Only those who rely on the sea to eat can survive if they are pressed to death.

But now, tell him that the whole gang of sea bandits is over?

Some joy, a little joy, and a little surprise.

Xu Huaiqing asked coldly, "What about the fishermen on the coast or going out to sea?"

Some people, even if it is strictly forbidden to go to sea, have to take the risk to make a living. At this time, even the imperial decree became useless, so he sent General Lian, who is honest and kind, except for his own business experience.

Wang Fu just smiled: "It hasn't been affected at all, and the fishermen won't go too deep to fish at all."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiqing finally showed a long-lost smile, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

But Song Yan, who was listening on the sidelines, suddenly touched his nose, and it had little to do with him.

After all, Song Yan just led the flood to the sea.

How could he have expected that someone would go to the island instead of going on land? He didn't have a home, and what was going on was living in front of someone else's house.

He has never killed living beings, but he is also very wronged when others want to hit the knife edge.

Song Yan comforted himself over and over again until he was confident, and then buried himself in the memorial, hard work made him strong.

It was already two days later when Xu Huaiqing received General Lian's memorial. In the memorial, they reported in more detail that they even led the officers and soldiers to hunt down a circle of fish that slipped through the net, drawing a perfect end to the bandits at sea. To open the sea ban.

Daxing's sea ban is to protect fishermen and prevent them from bumping into bandits on the sea. Now that the enemy is gone, naturally there will be no restrictions, so Xu Huaiqing approved it with a big wave of his hand.

And next, it was the flood that Xu Huaiqing waited and waited for and hadn't received any news yet.
