There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea

Chapter One of the 62nd piece: (3)

Now that the weather is smooth and the country is peaceful, the courtiers have nothing to do and have to write notes every day. In addition to the word limit, Linglong's workload is greatly reduced, and it is relaxed in an instant. The reason why the kings have been eager to move but dare not do anything. , If the world is in chaos, they will be famous for their teachers, and they can still block the mouth of the world, but now the wind is calm. If they want to usurp the throne, they are the chaos and thieves. To start, we have to start with Jiangshan Sheji.

Don't underestimate these people's pursuit of power. If you can pull the little female emperor off the horse and sit in that position, what is the point of sacrificing the people?

There were secretly floating in the middle of the dynasty. In addition to those who gave birth to dissatisfaction, there were also some courtiers who were very loyal to the little emperor because of the kindness of Emperor Xiaozong. Emperor Xiaozong's illness came so fast that he could not even teach his beloved little daughter into one. A qualified emperor passed away, and in this world, Emperor Xiaozong trusted most than Hu Xiuhe, who grew up with him.

The factory guard was handed over to Hu Xiuhe himself, but the emperor Xiaozong was kind, and the factory guard became mediocre because of this. After Linglong took over the throne, the first thing he did was to instruct Hu Xiuhe to send the factory guard to investigate the hundred officials and the kings. Relationship between.

These people are only related to their interests. As long as they find the nodes and break them one by one, she still sits securely.

In addition, Qin Zheng, the general Qin who was stationed in the frontier, was extremely loyal to Emperor Xiaozong. Emperor Xiaozong died. He could not return in the frontier, but he immediately sent a letter to Linglong. In addition to the loyalty in the letter, there is also Consolation simply adds wings to Linglong.

As long as Linglong can trust Qin Zheng with all his heart, the vassals will not dare to act rashly. Unfortunately, in the history recorded in later generations, the little female emperor was young and engulfed, and even more than a dozen imperial edicts called Qin Zheng back to the court. , Qin Zheng was killed by a Hongmen banquet! Perhaps her original intention was to hold the military power in her own hands so as to contend with the four vassal kings-not to mention whether this could be achieved, but to say that this self-defeating idea was not known to her!

As soon as Qin Zheng died, the barbarian invaded. Qin Zheng's three sons inherited his father's will and fought on the battlefield. Two of them were forced into the battle. Only the eldest son Qin Xiao was seriously injured and missing. This Qin Xiao is the right arm of Wei Tai|Zu Luyou in the future, and he has made great contributions to his pioneering territories!

In this way, who was the culprit who instigated the little empress to make such a confused decision?

All emperors have always been wary of generals holding military power, and have never been able to trust them, for fear that the other party's reputation in the public will be too high and their status will be endangered. Linglong has no such thoughts. In her opinion, a general who can throw his head and devote himself to guarding Heshan and loving the people like a soldier, is he not worthy of a good reputation among the people? There is no doubt that people do not need to employ people, and few emperors have been able to do it throughout the ages.

Linglong has no rights to power, so she can trust Qin Zheng as much as possible.

As soon as Qin Zheng's letter arrived, she personally wrote a reply letter and delivered it to the factory guard.

Emperor Xiaozong died, and Qin Zheng was in a hurry around the border, but he could not return to the court without the emperor's will. He also only had a letter to express his grief. On this day, he and his sons were looking at the defense plan-the Empress ascended the throne, and the barbarians began to move around again. It was with him all these years that the opponent did not dare to invade, but the more so, the more worried Qin Zheng became. Barbarians are like mad dogs who have been hungry for three months. They will not let go if they bite a piece of your meat without dying. They are keen, fierce, and greedy. Emperor Xiaozong is kind, so barbarians will not chase after surrendering. Seeing barbarians will keep their lives and gradually become stronger and stronger. Qin Zheng knew that there was still a deadly battle waiting for them.

It's just that the barbarian doesn't do anything, only to come back and forth on the border, Qin Zheng can't take the initiative to send troops, otherwise the people in the DPRK will write a report to impeach him, saying that he will not listen to the emperor's order, the private soldier may be unwilling... and Emperor Xiaozong. In the past dynasties, any emperor would not be able to tolerate Qin Zheng's sons with military power and popularity. The little emperor is too young. Qin Zhengguang has been in the border for more than ten years and has never met the little emperor. In this case, how can the little emperor trust him?

I don't know how the little empress reacted after reading her letter.

For Lu You, Qin Zheng must die if he wants to realize his ambitions. This person is too loyal, too rigid, thinking about being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and good at leading soldiers, as long as the little empress trusts him wholeheartedly, no one can go out of this day! Therefore, he would do everything possible to kill Qin Zheng. All of Qin Zheng's sons were talented with one enemy and a hundred, and his father died tragically. How could the three of them have no resentment? When Linglong was studying history books, he felt that Lu You's scheming methods were first-class, and ordinary people couldn't fight him. It's no wonder that they eventually became the famous Wei Tai|Ancestor.

In her reply, she expressed her trust in Qin Zheng, condolences him and the hundreds of thousands of troops at the border gate, and gave dozens of grains, herbs and medicines. For Qin Zheng, grains, herbs and materials are obviously more valuable than gold, silver and jewellery.

He was very excited when he read the reply from the little female emperor. He paced back and forth in the camp. Although Emperor Xiaozong is no longer there, the new emperor has the style of Mingjun!

Afterwards, he summoned the eldest son Qin Xiao and the second son Qin Ce, and ordered him to bring three thousand elite soldiers to the capital in light clothes and go to the capital overnight to obey the dispatch of his majesty. He also ordered the second son to take three thousand elite soldiers to Wudi to support the Prince Wu.

Qin Xiao grew up in a military camp, knowing that the military order cannot be rejected. He first took the order, and then asked, "Father, what does the little empress mean?"

Qin Zhengdao: "Your Majesty has a gully in his chest. Now all the princes are in Beijing, and there is only one Hu Xiuhe by his side. The princes will not leave Beijing for a long time. It is impossible to guarantee that they will jump the wall in a hurry. You must protect your majesty."

Qin Ce said: "I can't see that your Majesty, although young, has the courage, he actually slashed the king of Wu, this time to kill the chicken and the monkey, I want to come to the remaining three princes and dare not act rashly."

"That's the case, but the side concubine Wu and the concubine are deeply rooted. The elder son is powerless and needs your help to firmly control Wu dungeon. We must not give the side concubine Wu the opportunity to join forces with other feudal kings."

Linglong has received a reply from Wang Shizi. In the letter, Wang Shizi first expressed his gratitude to Linglong for passing the position of King Wu to himself, and then he took the initiative to ask the female emperor to take over the domain. Although he was weak in character, he had no brains. Great inspiration is better than contentment. Once the father dies, he becomes the king of Wu, and the land of Wu will not be able to hold on him alone. Not to mention the power and connections in the hands of the side concubine and the concubine, just becoming the king of Wu is the thorn in the eyes of those two people, and if they want to keep their lives, they have to take the initiative to surrender.

If he can't find this land, the two of them won't even think about it!

I have to say that the new king Wu did feel Linglong's itch. She has not released the feudal lord to leave the capital yet, just wants to conquer the feudal clan. She can trust Qin Zheng. Except for the reason of Emperor Xiaozong, Qin Zheng himself is also a man of indomitable spirit, but these vassal kings, except for the so-called royal blood flowing on their bodies, are more sinister and cunning and colder than the other, she will trust There are ghosts!

These four people alone divided up one-third of the land of Dali. Now the land of Wu is in the bag, and the remaining land of Qi, Shu, and Jiaodong will be taken back by Linglong!

"The son will never insult his life!" Qin Ce took the lead out of the camp with a fist, preparing to order three thousand elite soldiers to go to Wudi to help King Wu.

Qin Xiao also gave a fist to his father, "Father, what does your Majesty want? If the attitude is too tough, it will be difficult to guarantee that the remaining three princes will have different intentions. Although the three places of Qi, Shu and Jiaodong are not richer than Wu, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the miasma in the land of Shu is densely packed, and mines in Qidi are frequented. Jiaodong has eighteen gates of ghosts as the sky. The barbarian is looking at it, I am worried..."

Regardless of the seemingly honest duty of the Three Kings, no one can say whether they will jump the wall in a hurry and just form an alliance with the barbarians. When the time comes, there will be internal and external troubles, and it will be another fierce battle, and the world will kill the people!

The frontier climate is harsh, with a large temperature difference between day and night, which is not suitable for crop growth. People here mostly live on grazing. Compared with the humid Central Plains, life is much harder. Qin Xiao grew up at the border gate to twenty years old. He inherited the tallness and brilliance of the Qin family man, and because of years of wind and sun, his skin is healthy and bronze, his muscles are strong, full of strength and wild beauty. Similarly, the people living in the sixteen border states, because of this special geographical environment, regardless of men and women, most of them have tall statures, rough skins, and heroic temperaments, which are completely different from the noble nobles in Beijing.

"These things are also considered for the father. Your Majesty is young. Although Dahan Hu is loyal, he specializes in palace affairs. The father wants you to go back because your personality is the most stable and can assist your Majesty."

Qin Xiao was taken aback for a moment.

"I believe that as long as you tell your majesty well, she will definitely understand that she is the daughter of Emperor Xiaozong, and the first female emperor in all ages. She is the emperor who bears the burden of the emperor's worries. This is what I and other ministers should understand. Reason."

Qin Xiao respectfully said to his father: "My son has been taught."

Then he named three thousand elite soldiers and rushed to the capital with stars and moons. These three thousand elite soldiers are all the best soldiers under his command, and their physical and mentality are far superior to ordinary soldiers. If they can be used by your majesty, they will definitely be like a tiger. Guards outside the capital.

Linglong lived her life leisurely. The three kings did not come to ask, and she did not take the initiative to let them go. She found that these ministers were not incapable of writing concisely and concisely, but their bad habits were hard to change. The unlucky guy almost broke his family because he wrote a few thousand more words. The ministers took a warning. If you can write one less, you can write one less. For fear that more will come out, the small compensation for suspension will be big!

As for the three early birds, they had already regretted that they had owed them so much. The official salary of the Dali Dynasty is not low. A fifth-rank official can get one hundred taels of salary a month, which is not considered as subsidized rice, noodles and grain. A hundred taels, enough for a family of ten for a year!

It is precisely because of this that the fine is especially heartbreaking. The penalty is not only silver, but also the blood of the three adults!

Half a month later, Qin Xiao led three thousand elite soldiers to the capital at Zishi. He stationed three thousand elite soldiers in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing. He was in the middle of the mountains. He also disguised himself and entered Beijing alone. Linglong had just arrived in the early dynasty, and Hu Xiuhe came to report Qin. The general has arrived and is waiting in the imperial study room.

Asking more carefully, I learned that Qin Xiao arrived at night, but he waited outside all night and didn't enter the palace until dawn.

Linglong takes a day off every month. She is very dissatisfied with it. She thinks it is inhumane to take only one day off in a month. Unfortunately, she said that she could change it... but she couldn't change it.

For historical celebrities like Qin Xiao Lu You, later generations have many face-reproduced portraits, but when Linglong really sees Qin Xiao, he realizes that his later portraits are too abstract and can't even reflect one-tenth of his own style.

Qin Xiao saw the Little Empress for the first time. He bowed respectfully, and then saw that the little bit who was sitting on the dragon chair jumped down, and his mouth opened in a circle and turned around him twice. He didn't understand the Little Empress. Thought, until she stopped in front of her after turning the circle, Qin Xiao heard her say: "Wow...you are so tall!"

Linglong estimates that this person is more than 1.9 meters tall. He is burly, but not as strong as a sturdy waist. On the contrary, the body line outlined by a strong suit is healthy and wild, with a long waist and slender legs, and a very small face. .

She stretched out her hand to compare the height of the two, and was very unhappy to find that she was less than people's chest, and the eleven-year-old female emperor was a little bit taller than Qin Xiao's belly.

It's really just a little bit.

Most of the people in the palace are not tall. The tallest person Linglong has ever seen is Lu You, estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall, but Qin Xiao is even taller than Lu You visible to the naked eye!

The Queen Mother Ren'an who has been with her all the year round is a woman, petite, about one meter six, Hu Xiuhe entered the palace when she was young, suffered a lot, and did not grow tall, she stood up to the sky at one meter seven, Linglong herself... she I didn't want to mention it, anyway, being compared by Qin Xiao, she seemed to come from a country of villains.

Qin Xiao thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty will grow again in the future."

"Can you grow up to your height?"

Qin Xiao:...

Hu Xiuhe:...

Don't do it then.

However, Linglong's interest in height only lasted for a while. Qin Xiao also felt from her dialogue that the little empress was not an unreasonable person. She listened patiently to what he said to her, and was willing to listen to him. of. Qin Xiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Before entering the palace, he was thinking that the little female emperor didn't know what personality she was. If he was arrogant and self-willed, how would he persuade him. He didn't expect things to be much easier than he thought.

The princes must not stay in the capital for too long, but they cannot be killed directly like this. King Wu is dead. If the remaining three kings are all folded in the capital, there is no need for someone to make a fuss in the capital and attack the dead. Emperor Xiaozong deceived the feudal prince to enter the capital with his own death to punish him-the reputation of Emperor Xiaozong must not be stained! But if the princes were put back so soon, it would be no different from letting the tiger go back to the mountain. They had suffered this loss, and they would definitely be very careful in their actions in the future.

So the question now is how to let the three vassals go, and how to control the situation before letting go.

With Qin Xiao's three thousand elite soldiers, at least a short time will be able to keep the capital safe, and Linglong can do something else for the time being without any worries.

Wudi is a land of fish and rice. It is not only beautiful and pleasant, but also rich in rice and wheat. It is very fertile. King Wu is also the richest of the four vassals. Right now Linglong is waiting for the people of the Qin political faction to arrive in Wudi and the new Wu Wang Huihe, and then Wu Wang would personally submit a letter requesting the resumption of the domain. For the new King Wu, the collection of the domain was a good thing to save his life, and he surrendered to the female emperor, and he would enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in the future, but the king of Qi, etc. People don't think so. They are in their respective fiefs, and that is the earth emperor who can cover the sky with one hand. Who is willing to return the fief and live in the palace of the capital to be controlled by others?

King Wu spoke disrespectfully to the female emperor in the Golden Luang Temple. Everyone knows his ambition. Linglong killed him in the court for the sake of standing up, and no one was beaked. But such a trick made her decisive for the first time, and the second time for the third time. That would be cruel, not by Ming Jun.

Therefore, Linglong wants to force the Three Kings to make mistakes.

The human heart is endless. When Emperor Xiaozong was here, he was very kind to the four brothers, and their life was exceptionally good. There were more than a dozen iron ore mines in Qidi! Although this iron ore belongs to the court, it was mined by the Qi king! If you say that King Qi has no other minds, you don't believe it.

And now, the three feudal kings were oppressed by their nieces, and they finally survived the death of Emperor Xiaozong, who had no son, but the throne was passed on to a yellow-haired girl! Even if everyone is convinced in the world, the feudal kings who are in the same blood as Emperor Xiaozong are not convinced!

Emperor Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, his temperament and character were all first-class, and he was the eldest son, so why was Linglong? She is no longer worthy of being a woman!

What if she is the only daughter of Emperor Xiaozong? Is there a lack of succession in the clan?

No one thought that Emperor Xiaozong would pass the throne to the princess!

This really caught the princes by surprise.

The next day, Qin Xiao appeared in the ranks of the military officers of the Jinluang Temple. He was a serious and serious third-rank hussar general.

He is the son of Qin Zheng. Everyone knows that Qin Zheng is a good general. The Qin family’s army is famous. In recent years, the barbarian saw the Qin family’s battle flag on the tower and left in a hurry. Qin Zheng's eldest son will take over Qin Zheng's team in the future. Why does such a person suddenly appear in the capital? Why did no one get the news beforehand?

Was it called by your majesty secretly? It is impossible for Qin Xiao to come back alone, so where is the Qin family's army under his leadership? There are guards stationed by King Qi and others outside Beijing. It is a rule that the guards of the kings are not allowed to enter the capital, but every day there will be confidants who come to exchange news, but I have never heard of an army coming.

Suddenly, doubts arose in the hearts of the kings.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Linglong said inadvertently: "Carefully calculate, the three emperors have been in Beijing for a month, I don't know how the family members in the land are thinking about it."

King Shu replied cautiously: "It is my blessing to share the worries for your majesty."

The King of Jiaodong said: "Although there are national laws, vassal princes are not allowed to stay in Beijing for too long. This is a rule handed down from the ancestors. Your majesty, ministers, etc. want to resign with your majesty today and return to the fief."

They really can't sit still!

How can the guards brought this time compare with the well-trained Qin Jiajun! If the little female emperor wants them to confess their lives here, it would be really bad! It is better to return to the fief earlier and make another plan! I have endured it for so many years, is it anxious for this moment!

Linglong smiled and said: "The two imperial uncles are right. How about Emperor Qi, do you miss the fief family?"

Qi Wangsiwen saluted: "Return to your Majesty, that's right."

The three vassals had long reached a private consensus that they should leave the capital early, lest the little empress did not know the heights of the earth. This newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. They really did not dare to be tough with the little empress, especially when Qin Xiao suddenly appeared in the court. Does it represent what Qin Zheng meant? Emperor Xiaozong died, and the Qin family army was still a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor!

If so, returning to the fief to keep a low profile and bide time is the best policy.

"Uncle Wang Huang of Jiaodong just said...State-owned and national-law?"

For some reason, the King of Jiaodong suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart that the law stipulated that the princes were not allowed to stay in Beijing for a long time, and some princes even went to the fief since they were grown-ups, and never come back again until death! Although Qishu Jiaodong is good, how can it be better than the bustling and luxurious capital? Better than that golden dragon chair, better than that dragon robe?

"The first emperor is kind, and can't bear to see the uncles of the emperor have the pain of separation, but since the emperor of Jiaodong said that the state and the law of the country, then the three emperors are asked to revise the book and go to the fief. Please come to welcome the emperors to go back. "

The little female emperor touched her lips and almost went to the heart of the three princes!

Unlike the King Wu, who was bored with his sons, the three kings of Qishu and Jiaodong were most concerned about orthodoxy and devoted themselves to the cultivation and teaching of their sons. But the meaning in Linglong's words was that they wanted the three sons to come to the capital to exchange protons with them!

This, this, you can’t say that she is too much, because there is indeed such a rule, in order to prevent the princes from making chaos, Beijing must keep protons, but Emperor Xiaozong is gentle, and did not do so. Happy for decades, the three kings have already This was completely forgotten, only when Linglong mentioned it again.

Just said that the king of Jiaodong, who is state-owned and state-owned, can't wait to give himself a big mouth, telling you to talk too much!

Who wants to send his carefully cultivated son to Beijing to be a proton?

For a while, the hall was silent, and no one dared to speak. The kings were silent and seemed to be resisting silently, but Linglong laughed and Yan Yan was not in the slightest. She dared to say that these three people would definitely be secretly after returning to the fief. She is preparing to replace her with military training. Naturally, she can't give the opportunity. The protagonist of the feudal lord has had it since ancient times, but the Emperor Xiaozong did not follow it. It is the Emperor Xiaozong who is kind, and she is not the Emperor Xiaozong!

At this time, someone needs to come out to join in, and it must be a while after no one speaks in the main hall. Qin Xiao is about to go out according to what they have discussed. Someone in the civil official ranks is the first step: "The minister thinks that your majesty is saying that. Things work."

Linglong raised her eyes, and it was Lu You again!

He made no secret that he was on the side of the little empress, and he was loyal and unshakable. It was this sincere appearance that gained the trust of the little empress.

Linglong didn't mind giving him a nice face, and smiled brighter and brighter.
