The country is not as pretty as the beauty

In July, the peaches in the peach garden in the palace are ripe. It grows the best, and it is not suitable for planting due to the rain in Shaoyang in the north. Tian Wuhen ordered people to cultivate it carefully and transplanted the peach trees, but it did not bear fruit for many years, which made Tian Wuhen punish the planting of peach trees. The peach tree did not bear fruit until the Nanzheng came back a few years ago, which surprised the Queen Mother Zheng, so every year when the flowers bloom and bear fruit, I come to see it and pick some fruits back home.

This year's peaches are the best, very plump, and Empress Dowager Zheng sent people to pick a lot.

"In a while, send it to the emperor and ministers, the weather is hot, quench your thirst."

"Ugh!"

The weather was very hot, and the ministers in court clothes and Tian Wuhen were sweating profusely. No matter how hot it was in the hall, Tian Wuhen never allowed the maid to fan her.

The envoys of Silla in the Taiyuan Palace rushed to the Eastern Capital day and night to ask for help from the Su Dynasty. During the Northern Expedition of the Su Dynasty, a coup occurred in Goguryeo. That is equivalent to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War of the Su Dynasty), specialized in state affairs, and frequently sent troops to attack Silla, so Silla asked Su Dynasty for help.

Tian Wuhen ordered Goguryeo to strike last year, but Quangai Suwen ignored it, so Silla asked for help again.

Originally, there was an intention to conquer the East, but Quan Gai Suwen's attitude made the Ninth Five-Year Supreme of the Su Dynasty furious. Silla, Goguryeo, Khitan, and other small countries were originally subordinate countries, and now they don't even listen to the emperor of the Central Plains. , can you not get angry?

The imperial court is discussing the matter of the Eastern Expedition. Crossing the Yin Mountains to crusade against Goguryeo is more difficult than the Northern Expedition. The Yin Mountains are naturally dangerous and extremely sad.

"You and other small countries dare to despise me, how can you do it? A beautiful small country, why be afraid!"

"Ineffective security and instability in the rear have always been taboos for military strategists. I implore Your Majesty to think twice. Now that the farming season is approaching, it may not be appropriate to recruit troops at this time!"

"The land of Liaodong belongs to our Central Plains. Liang failed to send troops, but set up Shengguo. Now there is a reason to send troops. How can there be no reason not to take it back!"

The homeland of Liaodong is originally the Central Plains, Tian Wuhen said it in his heart, and the ministers had no reason to object.

Even though the matter of the Eastern Expedition is a big one, the arrangements for the funeral cannot be neglected. These days, Wuhen understands that after retiring from the court, he called the heroes of the Ling Pavilion to discuss the matter of the Eastern Expedition.

Qing Ting, the maid of Yuci Palace, came over, and Xiao Yuanzi stood guard outside the palace.

"Is the Holy Majesty in the side hall?"

"Your Majesty is discussing matters with ministers, what wind brought Aunt Ting here."

"The old queen mother saw that the peaches in the Taoyuan were ripe and went to pick some in person. If you don't mind, I will send some over here. The weather is hot, so I can quench my thirst." Qing Ting presented the washed big peaches.

"I'll come, please trouble auntie."

So Ju Yuan took a large pot of peaches and went into the hall. Although his movements were very light, he was still noticed. Tian Wuhen glanced at it. It is reasonable for people not to enter at such a time, and Ju Yuan knew it.

"Your Majesty, the peaches in the Taoyuan are the best this year. The Empress Dowager is concerned about the hot weather, so I specially sent someone to quench my thirst for Your Majesty and the ministers."

Tian Wuhen glanced again, the ministers were all standing aside, and soon someone said something.

"The Holy One governs the world with filial piety, and filial piety is the ultimate blessing."

Tian Wuhen smiled, and pushed his hand: "Ju Yuan, give it to them first." Xiao Yuanzi's real name is only called by Tian Wuhen on important occasions.

"Comply!"

If you accept it, it is a favor. They all understand this. They don't know if it is a coincidence, or the Queen Mother's good intentions, or Tian Wuhen's intentional arrangement. The emperor must be determined to win.

Behind the empress dowager is the entire Zheng family, and behind the emperor is the entire Bai family. How can the ministers object any more?

"Recovering Liaodong is my wish, so I intend to conquer it myself. I don't know if you have any objections?"

"The Holy Majesty's personal conquest is the blessing of all the officers and men. It shakes the country's prestige and boosts morale. We will assist with all our strength."

"Liaodong is no better than the Turks. It has water and land. What do you think is better?" It's not that Tian Wuhen doesn't know what to do, but he can't be too arbitrary in this matter, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, you can order Yan Lide to be a master craftsman to build ships in Hongzhou, Raozhou, Jiangzhou, and three prefectures to carry rations," Zhou Shinan recommended.

Tian Wuhen thought for a while: "Sure, then make four hundred."

"Who will supervise the transportation of the water army's food?" Tian Wuhen continued to ask.

Zuo Pu She Bai Duan thought for a while and replied: "You can use Xiao Rui, the imperial servant, to supervise the transportation of the southern states, and the grain into the sea to supply the needs of the navy. The sharp man, the eldest son of Xiao Yu, has a benevolent nature, but this appoint."

"Recommended by the teacher, it's acceptable!"

"Then who can send the army's rations?"

"You can use Taichangqing Wei Ting as a transportation envoy to visit the states in Hebei to meet the needs of the army." Zhou Shinan replied further.

"I remember that at the beginning of the pro-government, I appreciated his talent very much, and specially promised his daughter to King Qi as the princess."

Tian Wuhen thought about it again, but was still a little unwilling, and continued: "I had a very good relationship with my elder brother when I was young..."

Seeing that the emperor had serious doubts, Zhou Shinan persuaded him, "Your Majesty appreciates his talent, why do you care about his past?"

Tian Wuhen pursed his lips: "I know."

"Where is the weapon supervision?" Tian Wuhen looked at Gou Junji and asked, he still trusted him very much. As one of the 24 heroes, Gou Junji did a lot of credit for the North Kingdom, but he was very proud and complacent, and he didn't know how and ran to the side of the political party.

"Your Majesty, you can order Jiang Xingben to be the chief of the army."

"place?"

"Weapons can be crafted in Mount Anluo."

"I have so many talents, why should I be afraid of the Eastern Expedition?"

"Since Your Majesty wants to conquer the eastern capital of Chang'an, you must be careful with the defense of the north."

Tian Wuhen thought about it again and again, and she never thought about it: "How about recalling the demoted hero?"

After the founding of the Northern Kingdom and the stability of the country, the situation where the cunning rabbit died and the lackeys cooked it also happened. Many of the founding heroes were dismissed without reason, and even imposed trumped-up charges. There are so many.

"Your Majesty has a clear strategy. There is a lack of good generals in the Eastern Expedition. Old General Li Jing has just gone through the Northern Expedition, so it is not appropriate to go out again."

"Liaodong Road needs a marching commander, which general do you think is suitable?"

"The state-owned generals are good at shooting because they are noble, and Zhang Shigui, the Duke of Guoguo."

Tian Wuhen nodded, and asked again: "How long do you think it will take to go out?"

"Conscription for the Eastern Expedition, all weapons, food and grass must be prepared, and it will take three to four months."

"Then it will be in November of this year. The Eastern Capital and the Fangzheng in the north will personally agree, and I will trouble you for other matters concerning the Eastern Expedition."

"Definitely serve the Holy One to the death!"

Tian Wuhen gave a smile, which was very rare. Except for Bai Muxue and Empress Dowager Zheng, he would always show his seriousness, and he always had an expressionless face at other times.

Mu Lingrou left in mid-May, but delayed her arrival in Bingzhou for a month. It was not for any other reason, but because she fell seriously ill halfway. Jing Wenhao The sedan chair is very quiet.

But no one except Mu Shiji knew about this, because Mu Lingrou didn't allow it, and because Mu Shiji had an eyeliner.

When she returned to Bingzhou and passed by Changshun Mansion, she didn't stay like last time until she ran into that person, this time she purposely avoided it, because she was still not sure, after all, she didn't dare to tangle with her anymore.

I am a poor person, there is no need to pick up another one, let alone the one I love. When I first arrived in Changshun Mansion, Zhang Jing asked Mu Lingrou if he wanted to stay, but when he was rejected, Zhang Jing was very upset. Distressed, because he wanted to see Su Zhan, and it was not that Mu Lingrou didn't want to see Su Yunxin, but reason was greater than impulsiveness.

She has always been a rational person, and she is calm in everything she does. Just ask a person who puts life and death aside, what else is there to be afraid of?If there is, then I am afraid there is only one love word.

Mu Lingrou went back to Shuntian Mansion and Hou Mansion. For this deserted home, she was never in a hurry to come back. Usually, Mu Shiji was looking for her when she went back. It was rare for her to go to Mu Shiji because she didn't want to .

Mu Shiji was in the study room. He was born as a Jinshi and won the number one scholar. He likes to read, so he is very intelligent.

"Don't do what you should do, what are you doing here." Mu Shiji's attitude was very cold, not like a father and daughter, but Mu Lingrou had long been used to it.

"Then what is the relationship between Yang Zhengdao and you?"

Mu Lingrou is not the only one who is calm, don't forget that she is his daughter, her indifference and rationality have all been inherited from Mu Shiji's.

"It seems that you have seen him." Mu Shiji said indifferently.

"Is it really related?" Mu Lingrou frowned, feeling a little cold.

Then Mu Shiji put down the book: "Come with me somewhere."

Today it was rare for Mu Shiji to be so polite to Mu Lingrou. He took her to the secret cell. However, when Mu Lingrou entered, she, who was always calm, panicked. She couldn't believe it. When she first saw Yang Zhengdao, Mu Lingrou guessed a little bit.

"Who are you?" Mu Lingrou froze looking at the portrait in the dark pavilion, with a questioning tone.

"In the 14th year of Daye, in March, Yu Wenhuaji killed Emperor Yang of Liang in Jiangdu. In the same year, King Yang of Qi and his two sons were killed together. Yang Zhengdao is the posthumous son of King Qi." Mu Lingrou was in every word. Backing away, he looked at his father who was looking at the portrait with incredible eyes.

"But who knew that one of the two children who died survived because of cheating."

"then you?"

"Yang Zhengdao is my half-brother." Mu Shiji turned his head, with a fierce look in his eyes, he didn't hide it at all, because he was familiar with Mu Lingrou, just like her mother.

He knew that Mu Lingrou would not let this family fall apart unless necessary. To Mu Lingrou, she was a bit ruthless. To this country, to her own family, she had always been indifferent. Mu Lingrou had always been indifferent to this country. , There is no love.

"Then what do you want to do!"

"Just take back my things!" With a begging tone.

Mu Lingrou was shocked, she couldn't calm down anymore, how could her biological father be the grandson of the former emperor's emperor, and the rebellion is to implicate the nine clans, all the people close to her are wanted, so what about her and Su Yuxin?

After going out, looking at the dazed Mu Lingrou, Mu Shiji raised his eyebrows, feeling very strange, because he had never seen Mu Lingrou's expression before.

"Go on and go back, don't worry too much, you still have time."

continue?It's nothing more than going to Changshun Mansion again, of course Mu Lingrou was very happy to do it before, but now she doesn't want to, she just wants to hide from Su Yunxin, of course she still won't tell Su Yunxin why.

Mu Lingrou seldom speaks, even to Su Yunxin, she knows Su Yunxin, she understands some things, but she still doesn't want to explain, it's easy to be disadvantaged, easy to be taken advantage of by others, but she doesn't She has suffered because her heart is hidden so deep that no one can see through it, including herself.

The author has something to say: Mu Lingrou was loved by thousands of people when she was young, but she suffered a lot of changes when she grew up, so she is too cold-tempered and reticent.

I don't like to explain, because I think it is unnecessary, but this will lead to misunderstanding, and then leave hidden dangers, and the following plot is like this.

The story of double cp is in progress.
