The night was dark, and the plum blossoms seen in the white sky had lost their color in the darkness.

Yunyu looked at the letter paper spread out in front of her, and suddenly discovered that the ink in the inkstone had dried up and frozen in the cold wind.

There was a hint of helplessness on his handsome face. He stretched out his hand to grind the ink again, but the deputy general beside him came to report. He glanced at the table before speaking calmly.

"Enter."

The tent was just opened.

The wind and snow in the sky seemed to be competing to get in.

Deputy General Lei walked in a hurry.

"General, General Yu not only did not open the city gate, but also threw a huge bag down."

Yunyu had already prepared for Xiantong's attitude towards the old general, but when she saw the bundle full of paper money, the meaning was self-evident.

Lei Yu saw the commander's eyes and brows turned red and his face turned cold in an instant.

He knew that this young general, who seemed gentle but was actually very resourceful, was angry because of General Yu's attitude towards His Majesty.

"General, should we wait any longer?"

Lei Yu asked tentatively.

Yunyu raised her hand to stop his question.

"Burn it. Tomorrow, I will go to the outside of Xiantong Pass and let the soldiers worship with me."

Lei Yu was a little surprised.

"General? But this is against the rules... Not to mention that Xiantong Pass was not involved in the dispute two years ago, His Majesty also said in the letter that he would treat the general with some favor..."

Yunyu looked at him coldly.

"Let me ask you a question."

"Where is Xiantong Pass located?"

Lei Yu stood straight.

"I'm going sixty kilometers into the southern border!"

"Then let me ask you again, how many wars has Xiantong Pass experienced since the establishment of the dynasty?"

"I want to ask you again, how many soldiers died in these battles?"

Ray's lips moved.

"this..."

He really didn't know.

"Twenty-seven wars, and that's just the Daqian Dynasty."

"As a frontier of the dynasty, Xiantong Pass has a different meaning. Should we offer sacrifices to the soldiers who died at Xiantong Pass?"

Thunder and loud voice.

"Should!"

Yunyu waved her hand, and Lei Yucai took his leave.

Looking at the wrinkled letter on the table, Yunyu pursed her lips and reached out to smooth out the letter as if it were a treasure.

"If this old man Yu is willing to give in and offer sacrifices to the soldiers who died in the battle of Xiantong Pass, I will not bother with him."

"If you don't give in, don't blame me for ignoring your instructions!"

The Empress of Chaoge is in power.

What paper to burn?

Who to worship?

After calming down, Yunyu started to think again, thinking about riding a horse today and the ten-mile plum forest on the side of the road...it was the same scenery they saw together at the beginning.

He took out a handkerchief from his bosom. It was called a handkerchief, but the stitching was very clumsy and one could only vaguely see that there was a crow and a dog on the handkerchief.

Thinking of the woman who was furious and looked at him with an expression of disbelief, she told him with gritted teeth with a proud look that this was the time for the Phoenix and the Qilin.

I couldn't help but roll on the ground laughing.

He even laughed at the woman, asking, "Whose phoenix is ​​this that you would sew with dark blue thread?"

The woman was so angry that she challenged him to a martial arts duel. In the end, she strangled him by the neck and forced him to say that this was the most beautiful phoenix and the most majestic unicorn in the world before she let him go...

The woman looked so lively and pretty.

Since she became the Empress of Chaoge, she has been less frequently seen.

but...

The two of them had already decided.

When the world is unified, the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

They retired from the world, traveled around, did justice, robbed...

Thinking of this, he felt that he had endless energy.

He just felt that this narrow piece of paper could not express his boundless thoughts...

If it weren't for the messenger bird that could only fly with the letter box...

If it weren't for the fact that her closest confidants would also read the letter...

If it weren't for these few strokes, she would have to feel at ease...

Yunyu couldn't help but sigh.

Write gently..

"Hello..."

Day 2, day 3, day 4...

The familiar white dove flew back to Qianrong Palace, and Rongzhen's expression relaxed a little. Seeing the handwriting on the letter that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, she smiled slightly.

However, this joy did not last long.

When the sky cleared up after the snow, a memorial was presented to Rongzhen.

The Ministry of Revenue has no money.

State banquets are difficult to host.

The unrest among disaster victims in the north has caused a local plague that is spreading rapidly.

Rong Zhen was extremely angry.

The disaster relief envoys from the northern border arrived last month. These hundreds of thousands of silver and hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and fodder arrived one after another after Yunyu left. Why did such turmoil still occur!

Looking further down, some people secretly passed off the coarse food as good food, and many disaster victims became ill after eating the relief food, and the disease spread quickly...

Someone found out that it was the northern noble families and disaster relief officials who were corrupt and embezzled money for their own benefit. It was also suggested that it was because General Cheng did not think things through that such a big incident happened after he left the northern border.

After Rong Zhen proclaimed herself emperor, she disbanded the military guards originally led by Cheng Sheng, incorporated part of the Imperial City Army into her direct command, and dispersed the rest to various forces.

Similarly, the Chaoge Army that she personally led was managed in the same way, with the core personnel being recruited and some being dispersed to various forces to form her eyes.

Even her eyes did not hear the news.

What has been proved...

This proves that the news is still tightly blocked in the northern border. If it weren't for the help of Yunyu who stayed in the northern border, it is likely that the news would have taken an unknown amount of time to reach the capital.

The funny thing is.

Everyone wants to separate her from Yunyu.

Who is it...

Still a coincidence?

If she believed in coincidence, Rong Zhen would never have come this far.

Half an hour later.

The conclusion was presented to Rongzhen.

Rong Zhen was originally worried about the disaster relief in the northern border. If the national treasury paid less than the Ministry of Revenue, she would certainly not be lenient. The court sent officials who were always famous for their integrity to supervise the process, and they would be responsible for the money and grain, passing through the places and reaching the destination.

Although this official did not agree with him, he was an honest official with a strong character. When he heard that the people were suffering, he naturally felt obliged to help.

Rong Zhen summoned him to the palace and directly explained to him the complexity of the northern border and the tyranny of warlords and relatives of the emperor. Even though he was carrying the emperor's order, the journey was still full of dangers.

Rong Zhen prepared personal guards to protect his safety.

He refused.

Every word he said was full of tears and every sentence was sonorous. He expressed that he was risking his life to protect the victims' supplies. His heart was evident to all, so he was naturally not afraid of the bad guys' ulterior motives.

Watching his leaving back, Rong Zhen was touched, and felt that in this huge court, there were old ministers of two or three generations as well as young people who had just entered the imperial court, who scolded her.

But there are too few people she can use...

But Rong Zhen still prepared a team for him to act in secret.

Unexpectedly, even with such double protection, something still went wrong.

There are three cities in the north. If one city suffers, the treasuries of the other two cities will naturally be mobilized. The commander of the Black City in the north is the youngest and most beloved son of the empress dowager's younger brother. It was thought that he had bowed his head to the Cavalry General and obeyed the orders of the central government obediently.
