"Ma'am, what's the result?"

"According to the Southwest chieftain's records, on the day Princess Baiyang got married, she couldn't control her temper. But she knew that she would live in the Southwest in the future, so she didn't dare to offend the Southwest Marquis, so she took the calming decoction, and she married the Southwest Marquis smoothly. , and take medicine from time to time after marriage." Mrs. Huo put down the yellowed book and picked up a prescription, "I have read this prescription, and the others are good, only one medicine is a bit special - on the Majimu Snow Mountain in the extremely cold place Grow Greenland."

"This name sounds..." Li Jinyu muttered, "How does it sound like a Chinese language?"

"Majimu Snow Mountain is indeed adjacent to the country, just north of the country." Huo Caijin frowned and said, "If you want to go to Majimu Snow Mountain, you have to go through the whole country."

Is it really a cunning country?

Li Jinyu also frowned: "How can there be precious medicinal materials in the Southwest Marquis?"

Mentioning this, Huo Caijin's expression turned slightly cold: "Naturally, it's because the Marquis of the Southwest colluded with the cunning country."

This topic is not suitable to be discussed in front of Mrs. Huo, Huo Caijin and Li Jinyu looked at each other, and tacitly turned away from mentioning it.

Mrs. Huo was obsessed with medical skills, and she didn't know much about these important matters. After watching the two of them finish speaking, she continued: "If Mr. Li can find a way to find Geyangerlan, and supplemented by other means, the poison of the 'extreme son' will inevitably come to an end." Solvable."

This "other means" made Li Jinyu's cheeks turn a blush.

But Grangerland...

Li Jinyu thought for a while, then went back and brought Princess Tamar, who was a coolie in the clothes bureau, over.

At the beginning, he was drugged by Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang, and Tamar also got involved in it.

Fascinated by his sanity, it is the flower juice of animal flowers.Later, Huo Caiyu tortured the two concubines who did not know whether to live or die, and learned that the aphrodisiac and assisted conception drugs for His Majesty were also provided by Tamar.

Considering that the cunning country is still outside Chen Bingguan, and Tamar still has a little use value as the princess of the cunning country, Huo Caiyu did not kill Princess Tamar directly.But he will not keep the non-dangerous factors by His Majesty's side.

Therefore, Tamar was honored to have a "single room" in the Laundry Bureau, which was dedicated to dealing with erroneous maids.

Food and water are delivered twice a day, and coolies such as washing clothes are also sent in separately. Only an old servant has contact with her, and she will never give her another chance to do anything.

This time when Li Jinyu brought her up, it was the first time in three months that Tamar saw the sun again.

I haven't seen her for three months, and Tamar has been exhausted by the work of the Clothes Bureau.Although she has martial arts skills, when did she do the hard work of washing clothes in the palace of the cunning king?

Seeing Li Jinyu at this time, Tamar paused for a long while, then suddenly knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, Tamar knew it was wrong, please don't lock Tamar there anymore..."

Li Jinyu looked at Tamar's slightly curly hair and disheveled appearance, and was dressed in rags. A trace of pity appeared in his heart, and he coughed: "If you can help me get Geyangerlan, I can consider letting it go."

Tamar was taken aback, the crying gradually stopped, and she raised her exotic eyes: "Geyangerlan? This flower is only found in Majimu Snow Mountain. What does Your Majesty want for it?"

"I have my own use."

Tamar didn't dare to refute. After thinking about it for a while, her head gradually came alive, her eyes moved, and she tentatively said: "Geyangerlan is not easy to pick, even in our cunning country, it is only available in the palace, and I am not willing to use it in normal times." ...If Your Majesty wants, you can discuss it with your father."

She turned her eyes and saw that Li Jinyu seemed to be pondering, and continued boldly, "If His Majesty wants to, Tamar can negotiate peace with the father on his behalf, and Da Di will never suffer."

Li Jinyu was deeply wary of this princess of the cunning country, and was slightly displeased to hear Tamar's tone - the army of the cunning country was still invading outside the customs, and Huo Caiyu led the border army to fight to the death, peace talks at this time?

He didn't believe that Tamar didn't know about the plan of Guiguo to assemble an army to attack Di Dynasty.

"There's no need for peace talks." Li Jinyu imitated Huo Caiyu with a stern face, waved his sleeves and said, "We'd better wait for Dadi's army to break through the Palace of the Cunning King, and I'll go get it myself."

Tamar suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she didn't expect Li Jinyu to say this, and after a while she suddenly smiled, and she seemed to calm down a lot: "Your Majesty, Tamar is straightforward, and she speaks directly when she has something to say—now I'm cunning The national cavalry must have broken through the Beiyue Pass. Dadi’s national power is tyrannical, so they can’t ignore our slight intrusion, can’t they? The people of my country grow up in a bitter cold place, but I want to find a place with fertile soil to live in peace. If your majesty is willing For peace talks, not to mention Geyangerlan on Majimu Snow Mountain, we are willing to offer even the silver moon in the sky."

Li Jinyu finished listening with a blank expression, and his heart became clear: Tamar's words are so nice, she just wants Di Chao to cede the territory!

Outrageous!

Every inch of land in this world is Huo Caiyu!No one can take it away!

Looking at Tamar, I thought Beiyueguan was broken... Hmph, I underestimated Di Chao!

His face turned cold in an instant: "Princess Lautama will not bother you now—Princess, please go back, there are still many things waiting for you at the Clothes Bureau."

Tamar's whole body trembled, and the composure on his face broke instantly: "Your Majesty, you don't want to..."

Li Jinyu didn't want to listen any more, so he waved his sleeve angrily and asked someone to take her down.

——The big deal is that he doesn't understand the poison!Anyway, he wanted to feign death to escape, how could Huo Caiyu be held back?

……

In the morning of the second day, Li Jinyu was directly overwhelmed by the impeachment of Huo Caijin.

Before the expedition, when Huo Caijin was forcibly promoted to the leading position, everyone thought that His Majesty and the regent were crazy.

How can a female stream hold such an important position?

The Prince Regent doesn't have any other men in his family, so he insists on pushing his relatives to the top?

The more people who oppose it, the more people will see the jokes.They wanted to see what would happen to Huo Caijin, an unknown girl who was thrown into the army rashly.

——Huo Caijin spent three months cleaning up the southwest.

The aborigines in the southwest occupy the mountains as kings, and the local Han people are relatively small. The chieftain governs the village and is naturally xenophobic.

In order to appease the ethnic minorities, the imperial court introduced a lot of favorable policies and often helped them. However, some people were not greedy enough to swallow elephants. Taking advantage of the complex terrain and numerous forests in the southwest, they would open their mouths to the imperial court lions from time to time and rebel without giving them money or food.

Several southwest rebellions caused the imperial court a great headache——

To fight hard, the local ethnic minorities will protect each other regardless of whether they participate in the rebellion, so we can't kill everyone here, right?It is easier to arouse the resistance of ethnic minorities;

Let it go lightly, don't learn the lesson, and if you get a little unhappy later, you will rebel again.

Not to mention the Marquis of the Southwest, he publicly surrendered to the imperial court, and secretly provoked conflicts among the local chieftains, making the Southwest always restless.

The imperial court knew that the Southwest Marquis was uneasy and kind, but he couldn't grasp the reason, and no one was willing to pick up the hot potato in Southwest, so he could only delay it again and again.

After Huo Caijin analyzed the situation, he led a direct attack with not a lot of troops. Somehow he used some method to bypass the main city of the rebels, and copied it directly - when the rebels found out that their stockade had been captured by Huo Caijin, it was already too late up.

The imperial army deliberately controlled only half of the stockade, and used the stockade as a bargaining chip to negotiate with some of the rebels, provoking infighting among the rebels, which soon distracted the rebels, and was finally captured by the imperial court.

Huo Caijin interrogated directly in the local area, beheaded several leaders on the spot, and escorted the rest of the criminals back to Beijing; at the same time, he broke into Southwest Hou's house like a robber to have a heart-to-heart talk with him—the kind with a knife and a gun.

On the grounds that the Southwest Marquis's defense was insufficient and his life was in danger, Huo Caijin directly took control of the Southwest Marquis' Mansion, and in front of the Southwest Marquis, he changed all the servants and guards in the Marquis' Mansion, and found out a lot of interesting things.The Southwest Marquis was so angry that he cursed on the spot regardless of his demeanor.

Huo Caijin turned a deaf ear to it, and quickly wiped out the situation in the Southwest within three months, and returned to Beijing to report on her duties with the evidence of the Southwest Marquis.

As soon as Huo Caijin came back, complaints and complaints came like snowflakes.

The Southwest Marquis has been running the Southwest for so many years, how could he be willing to be bullied by an unknown female general?Soon, the princes and important officials were arranged, and the book was written to intercede for him and Huo Caijin was impeached.

Li Jinyu didn't care about it - this time Huo Caijin not only brought back the evidence of the Southwest Marquis' collusion with the country, but also gave the court a clearer understanding of the situation in the Southwest.

In the past, the Southwest Marquis was completely the local emperor, and no matter how capable the imperial envoys or ambassadors were sent, they could not find any clues; Huo Caijin found another way, and directly copied the Southwest Marquis's house in disregard of etiquette, so that they could see how much rotten old evils had gathered in the Southwest land. .

It’s no wonder that the ethnic minorities in the Southwest rebelled—a new tax was introduced this year, and the Southwest actually implemented the new tax and the old tax at the same time.

It means that the people there have to pay double taxes.

The Southwest Marquis was escorted back to Beijing together, shouting that he was wronged, saying that he had lived a clean life and that his family did not have much property.

Li Jinyu thought to himself... According to the clues Huo Caijin investigated, the Southwest Marquis searched for people's fat from the local area and sent them all to the country.

No wonder the army of the cunning country invaded and at the same time a rebellion broke out in the southwest. It was completely a two-front war between the cunning country and the intention to drag Di Chao to death.

Li Jinyu typed back all the memorials he had spoken to the Southwest Marquis and accused Huo Caijin of being indiscriminate, and transferred the Southwest Marquis to the third division for interrogation. After confirming that the collusion with the enemy was correct, he decisively sentenced him to death.

This Southwest Marquis is the posthumous son of Princess Baiyang, and he considers himself a relative of the emperor, so he should not stay in the poor and remote Southwest.Later, the cunning country tentatively contacted him, promising to seal him in a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River if great things come true in the future.

The Southwest Marquis was short-sighted, but he happily agreed.

This is the first serious prince who has been sentenced to beheading.And judging from the relationship, the current Southwest Marquis can be regarded as Li Jinyutang's uncle.Many relatives of the royal family came to Li Jinyu to intercede tactfully.

Li Jinyu got tired of hearing this, patted the table and said, "Don't say it's my uncle, even my own uncle, it's not like I haven't killed him before!"

These words shocked a few nobles who said good things.

How could they have forgotten that although His Majesty's temper is much better now, in the past, he would kill people in court without blinking an eye... There was a young uncle who said insultingly to His Majesty because of his elder status, and then His Majesty became violent, picked up the jade inkstone on the table, and unexpectedly He directly smashed the uncle to death.

Li Jinyu used his original body's notoriety to frighten those who made irresponsible remarks, and he was inevitably aggrieved when he was angry.

When Huo Caiyu was still alive, no one dared to point and point at him.

When Huo Caiyu was by his side, he didn't feel much, but now that he was out of Huo Caiyu's protection, he realized how much trouble and wind and rain Huo Caiyu had blocked him.

If Huo Caiyu was still here...

Li Jinyu was lying on the dragon couch, with two round ears sticking out, and they kept swaying as he rubbed back and forth on the quilt.

The black cat was counting its own cat toys, struggled to pick out two, put them back, and said absent-mindedly: "Those royal relatives are like this, relying on their own identities, they can't recognize the situation clearly."

When he was the prime minister, he was often annoyed to death.

"I know, I'm just... a little upset." Li Jinyu got up from the quilt, stroked his temples and groaned, "I know what to do."

Even if you are an emperor, you can't have everything you want.

In the past, Huo Caiyu sheltered him from the wind and rain, but now that Huo Caiyu has gone to the front line, he also has to be Huo Caiyu's solid backing.

Thinking of Huo Caiyu, Li Jinyu cheered up again, patted his face, and stretched out his hand again towards the memorials on the table.

But after a while, he threw down the note again irritably: "Ah! Why are these ministers so annoying, even making irresponsible remarks about my award!"

In addition to punishment, there are also rewards.

Huo Caijin's tactics are unique but effective. He solved the Southwest problem neatly and quickly, and pulled out the big nail laid by the Southwest Hou, a cunning country. He should be rewarded heavily.

The court received the benefits of the Southwest Marquis, but they wrote letters one after another, accusing Huo Caijin of being a woman who did not deserve to be rewarded by the court.

Li Jinyu sat on the dragon seat and looked at the noisy ministers below, feeling very annoyed.

This means that the world line has changed now... If it doesn't change, you will all be chopped up by the ghost-faced general!

"General Huo's expedition to the Southwest was granted by me personally. By saying that, are you accusing me of not employing people well?"

How can anyone dare to accuse the emperor?

The ministers looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.

Naturally, they were not crazy about Huo Caijin.The king regent is in charge of the border army, if Huo Caijin secures the position of general, [-]% of Dadi's army will be in the hands of the Huo family siblings!

Isn't His Majesty jealous?

They also took the opportunity to stand in line because of the holy will.

It can be seen that His Majesty's current attitude... is actually planning to stand up for Huo Caijin...

Your Majesty is not worried that the Huo family siblings have too much power and threaten the throne?

You can't have another Ye family, right?

Li Jinyu didn't care so much.Huo Caijin and her subordinates should be rewarded for their meritorious service.

Huo Caijin was named a general according to the Di Dynasty's military merit award system, and those imperial soldiers who were tamed by her were also rewarded one by one.

But whenever gender is used as an issue, Li Jinyu reprimanded him: "Whoever has any objections to General Huo's award, he will go to Beiyueguan to lead troops to fight a battle, and let me see how powerful you men who claim to be better than women are." .”

Now no one dared to speak.

Beiyue Pass has been in emergency for three months, and troops and material resources have been sent there continuously, which shows that the situation is critical.

Who would dare to go to the front line to die in this situation?

Only then did Li Jinyu calm down and heaved a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, the daily government affairs were still handled on schedule.

Soon the first fresh snow fell, and the palace also began to prepare for the New Year.

……

New Year approached.

Dichao Nian Festival is similar to the world before Li Jinyu came here.

Because he is a native hamster, Li Jinyu also has a special feeling for the Chinese New Year.

Preparations began a month in advance in the palace, sweeping the palace, preparing tributes, hanging decorations, and tailoring new clothes.

There is an endless banquet in the Grand Palace, and theater troupes and juggling troupes are specially invited to perform.There are all kinds of drama, folk art, dragon dance and lion fighting.

The emperor, empress dowager, and concubines all put on beaming 30340 new clothes, walked through pavilions and galleries pasted with red paper and gold lettering Spring Festival couplets, enjoyed singing and dancing, and tasted the New Year’s Eve dinner.

In the past, there should have been a ceremony for the princes and grandchildren to worship and salute, but Emperor Jingchang did not have half of his children, so this step was omitted.

The inspector of ceremonies originally planned to make a big fuss—compared with last year, both the harem and the court have changed a lot this year.Together with the regent, His Majesty brushed off the dust from the Di Dynasty, and restored the splendor of this century-old dynasty.

Li Jinyu rejected it: "The frontline soldiers are still fighting desperately, how can I be drunk and dream of death? They have all withdrawn."

So the Nightless Banquet was gone, the opera juggling was gone, and the original plan to renovate the palace was also suspended.

Li Jinyu distributed New Year's money to the concubines in the palace, and then went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to plead guilty.

He abolished the New Year's expenses to help the frontline, and no one can make irresponsible remarks; but the queen mother is the most honorable woman in the palace after all, and she is still the original mother, Li Jinyu still feels a little guilty.

Since the beginning of winter, the Empress Dowager's complexion has not been very good, and the joy of the New Year has not relieved her much.

During this visit to the Empress Dowager, Li Jinyu expressed cautiously that he would cancel the New Year's program, carefully observing the Empress Dowager's face.

The queen mother didn't know if she listened or not, she turned the prayer beads in her hand and nodded perfunctorily: "The Ai family knows."

Every time Li Jinyu came to visit the Empress Dowager, he could feel the empress dowager's obvious alienation.

On his birthday, the Empress Dowager was sick and did not attend, and the annual dinner seemed not to care much...

If the empress dowager was indifferent to him in the past because she was completely disappointed with Emperor Jingchang, now he is doing more or less serious work, why is he still indifferent?

Li Jinyu was a little puzzled, and asked tentatively, "Mother, do you want to have dinner with me on New Year's Eve?"

The empress dowager paused slightly with the beads in her hand, looked up at him, was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "No need, Ai's family is weak and doesn't like to make noise, you and the concubines should have dinner together."

Li Jinyu could only nod his head: "I know."

He couldn't continue talking today, so he planned to retreat.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager suddenly put the beads on the table and said suddenly: "Emperor, the Ai family has something to ask you."

"Mother, please speak."

"The Ai family heard that you gave most of Di Chao's military power to the Huo family?"

Li Jinyu was taken aback: "Is there?"

The Empress Dowager looked at him for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Military power is the foundation of a country, how can it be handed over to outsiders?"

Li Jinyu subconsciously said: "Huo Caiyu is not an outsider."

It is normal that the military power is in Huo Caiyu's hands.

The queen mother paused and stared deeply at Li Jinyu.

Only then did Li Jinyu come to his senses, and explained with a dry smile: "What I mean is that I and the Regent are brothers and sisters, regardless of each other..."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were a bit complicated, something flashed away, and finally she lowered her eyes and sighed softly: "You have grown up and have your own ideas."

"I didn't mean that..."

"Aijia just said it casually." The queen mother leaned back on the cushion, picked up the prayer beads, and waved her hand wearily, "Go back, the emperor, Aijia is tired."

Li Jinyu could only say goodbye.

On the way back, he pondered over what the Empress Dowager said, when suddenly he got excited and thought of a possibility:

——The Queen Mother wouldn't mistake him for having an affair with Huo Caiyu, right? !

In the past, Li Jinyu would never have thought about it; but ever since he slept with Huo Caiyu, was confessed once, and read "popular science textbooks", he became a little sensitive about this aspect.

The most important thing is that when talking about his relationship with Huo Caiyu, he didn't even dare to pat his chest and say that their relationship is innocent!

Ugh, what's the matter...

Li Jinyu returned to the bedroom with a headache, thought for a while, and asked Chang Kang: "Is it too late for me to hold a concubine's family banquet?"

Changkang was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "My servant went to ask Concubine Hui for instructions, and she said that all the concubines have gone to her palace to listen to her sharing farming experience. If Your Majesty is interested, this servant will pass on the message."

"Forget it, let them play by themselves." Since the concubines had already made an appointment, Li Jinyu didn't intend to disturb them.He lay discouraged on the dragon couch, waved Chang Kang out, and looked at the black cat, "It seems that only the two of us will celebrate the new year... What are you doing?"

The black cat packed a few toys into a small bundle, tied it up and hung it around his neck, and weighed it up: "I'm going to Lanpin Palace, I won't play with you anymore."

"What are you doing there?"

"Concubine Lan went to Concubine Hui's to attend the concubine's party, and left a lot of cat toys and cat food." The black cat raised its head reservedly, "I am going to attend the cat party."

Li Jinyu imagined a bunch of cat heads together, and subconsciously shuddered.

Then he came to his senses and widened his eyes: "Aren't you a genius, why are you still playing with those things like a kitten?"

"You have also become a genius, have you restrained yourself from eating melon seeds?"

"..."

In the end, his partner left him, and Li Jinyu stayed in the dormitory by himself in a grievance, heating the stove, chatting with glutinous rice balls while eating melon seeds.

On New Year's Eve, goose snow falls, and the city is covered with silver frost.

Even though it was Chinese New Year, as the emperor, he actually became a loner...

The more this time, the more I miss Huo Caiyu.

Li Jinyu held his chin, listened to the sound of snow falling outside, and while eating melon seeds, threw the melon seed shells into the stove, watching them turn into a wisp of green smoke and float in the air.

——What is Huo Caiyu doing now?

Is there a heater at the border gate?

Was the soldier injured in battle?

Has the Ziwei Emperor Qi on her body recovered?

Looking at the green smoke rising from the stove, Li Jinyu was a little lost in thought.

When he was alone, he could suddenly feel the estrangement between him and the world, and clearly realized that he did not belong to this world or these human beings.

Li Jinyu felt a little delusional in a trance.He is just a passer-by in this world, just like a kite skimming across the lake, bringing up a breeze, only a layer of ripples will scatter away silently.

Only when the kite is held by a cable can it not fly away completely.

And worrying about his thread...

Li Jinyu's lips moved slightly, and he murmured, "Huo Caiyu."

Suddenly, a calm, hoarse, gentle and familiar voice sounded behind him:

"His Majesty."
