[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Being alone, talking, embracing...Although it is just half a day's leisure in a floating life, it is as unreal as a dream, but it makes people feel satisfied and happy.

The hug seems to have come from impulsiveness, just as Tang Yu's feelings for the queen mother have been hidden in his heart for a long time without knowing when it started.She hugged her, hugged her tightly, wishing to rub the person in her arms into her own flesh and blood, and never leave her forever.

Only then did Tang Yu know that if you love someone, you will have an undisguised possessive desire for her body and mind. It was never like this before because she never took half a step beyond the threshold, but once she did, it would be difficult to take back even half a step.Just like last night, she forgot her identity, her oath, and the fact that they were in the deep palace, but hugged the queen mother tightly, and the long-suppressed feelings turned into a hot fire again, boiling in her body, Every inch the tongue of fire penetrates, it will deepen the passion/desire, making her unable to help but call her "Ayi" softly.

Tang Yu didn't even have time to think about it. This rapid and fierce fire, while burning up the gap between them, might also destroy the Queen Mother's trust in her.But fortunately, the worst scenario didn't happen, and instead gave her a little hope.

Last night, when she hugged her, her nostrils were filled with the cold fragrance she had smelled since she was a child. This fragrance made her obsessed and restrained her. What she could see was the slightly red and soft earlobes of the Empress Dowager. Great temptation.How much she wanted to raise her head a little, so she took advantage of the situation to gently hold the prey that was close at hand, sticking out the tip of her tongue as if she didn't dare to profane, and just tasted it.

The night was so dark, the palace servants probably couldn't see clearly, she had done enough to comfort herself, and she just had to take the last step.The moment she closed her eyes and moved forward, the queen mother reached out and stroked her back.

Since the two knew each other's intentions, the Queen Mother had never responded to Tang Yu so proactively.

Tang Yu didn't know how to describe her feelings at that time. She was often touched and comforted by the queen mother when she was a child, but she could feel the subtle difference between the two.Last night, the queen mother's touch was a little hesitant and unfamiliar. As soon as she touched it, Tang Yu stopped his forward movement as if frightened. Feeling the gentle and seductive touch from behind, his heart beat like a drum.

Dedication has never been guaranteed to be rewarded, not to mention her dedication is nothing compared to the Queen Mother's more than ten years of upbringing and teaching, and the impulsive embrace of the Queen Mother has not imagined such a scene, and she can get a response—even if it is only It's a caress that ends in the palm, already overjoyed.

After being overjoyed, she was inexplicably shy and stage frightened.The light kiss did not come true, so she fled the scene first, and only called her "Ayi" before leaving.In her heart, the queen mother is still the mother who raised and taught her to grow up and take care of her safety and health in this life, but she hopes that she is not only her mother.

sleepless nights.

When I woke up the next day, it was just as Tang Yu told the queen mother yesterday, the Xifu crabapple bloomed brilliantly in the garden after days of wind and rain.

In the early morning when the dew is not yet shining, the palace servants in the Xuanshi Hall sweep the courtyard with brooms in hand.In spring, every time it is full of vitality, as soon as the flowers wither, there will be flowers blooming. No one thinks it is a pity that the crabapple flowers that have fallen to the ground will be swept away with a broom, not to mention sweeping away the remaining flowers. in people's minds.

Before going to court this morning, Tang Yu went to the Changle Hall to pay his respects to the Queen Mother as usual. The two talked and laughed as usual, and there was no difference.But all of them tacitly kept silent about what happened last night, which confused the palace servants who were waiting on the side - Rao who were as careful as Lonicera and Qingdai.At first, I felt that the emperor and the empress dowager have always been like this, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong, and when I thought about it deeper, Monk Zhanger still couldn't figure it out, so I had to let go of thinking about it for the time being.

Leaving the Changle Hall, and then going out of the Xuanshi Hall to the Jinshen Hall to go to court, passing the courtyard, Tang Yu gradually slowed down his pace, and looked at a few begonias that had lost half of their flowers.Looking around, the nearly bare branches of the garden made her feel flustered for no reason. The vitality of all things in the world is tenacious, rather stubborn, but no matter how stubborn it is, it will not stand the ravages of time.For example, the king of Chu, who was still in good health a few years ago, invited two or three friends to his winery for dinner and drinks every now and then.

Birth, old age, sickness and death have always been unclear. The only thing that can be seized is the opportunity to continue the beauty of the present.

The emperor governs the world, and all major and minor matters of the country need to be reviewed by the emperor. He is busy every day, and the rare solitude with the queen mother yesterday is the time squeezed out of Tang's day and night files.

Today, no matter what, there is always no leisure.

Not long ago, Frankie's maritime merchants wanted to land from Haizhou, but Haizhou has always had a sea ban, so naturally they would not allow it.As for vulgar language, do as the Romans do, even if you don't follow the Romans, if you stand on the territory of another country, you must more or less act in accordance with the national laws of other countries.However, the maritime merchants knew that the sea was banned, and also treated Haizhou officials with courtesy. Instead of retreating, they went one step further. Relying on the large number of their own merchant ships, they forcibly landed and clashed with Haizhou officials, causing both casualties.

It was originally a small matter that could be settled by the messenger with his tongue, but he raised the nature of the matter to the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Since the diplomatic relations between the two countries have been involved, it cannot be handled hastily.So the two countries sent envoys to each other to express the wishes of each other's emperors in words, and wanted to make big things into small things and get back together.Although it involves diplomatic relations between the two countries, to put it mildly, it is similar to the relationship between people. If each other is sincere and honest, there will be a harmonious relationship.

On the side of the Jin Dynasty, the hearts of Wutar tigers and wolves were not extinguished, and the threats of frontier quarrels were not eliminated. Tang Yu had no intention of meeting the Fanyi soldiers again, otherwise he would be in a passive situation if he was attacked by the enemy.Therefore, whether this matter is big or small depends on the sincerity of the King of Frankie.

Until the Frankie Kingdom sent envoys to the court recently, Xue Jie, Minister of the Honglu Temple, received the envoys in the Sifang Pavilion. The two only exchanged a few words, but the impatient envoy had already revealed the ambition of the Frankie Kingdom King. Being so undisguised, Xue Jie was both angry and happy.After he came back and reported to Tang Yu in the court, the ministers under the imperial steps discussed a lot. Although they were arguing endlessly, they rarely reached a consensus—the envoy was left hanging in the Sifang Pavilion to grind his patience for ten and a half days. It's not too late to discuss after a month.

It is said to be dry, but in fact, how can he really ignore him?But in the name of treating guests with courtesy, the officials of the Sifang Pavilion led the envoys to play around in the capital, chatting about the wind, the moon, and the folk customs, but they didn't talk about the business. If the envoy mentioned it, he would have to go around to other things. he.

After leaving the envoy for half a month like this, when Xue Jie talked with the envoy again, the envoy probably communicated with Frankie in private. His tone and posture were quite humble and humble, but the meaning in his words refused to back down. .He bluntly said that the king has long been yearning for the customs and customs of the Central Plains, especially the silk and porcelain of the Central Plains. However, the Jin Dynasty strictly banned the sea, which not only blocked the friendly exchanges between the two peoples, but also stifled the potential economic opportunities between the two countries.The conflict between the Haizhou landing and the officials of the Jin Dynasty was really a helpless move by Frankie businessmen.

The envoy said that the king hopes that the Jin Dynasty will open Haizhou's business and residence rights to the Frankie Kingdom, and the Frankie Kingdom is willing to make amends and offer generous gifts.

The daylight was just right, the windows in the Xuanshi Hall were bright and clean, and the aloes were wafting. It was supposed to be a place for relaxation and meditation, but Xue Jie's indignant statement broke this beautiful atmosphere: "In the final analysis, the maritime merchants forcibly landed first, and Haizhou What's wrong with the officials? At first, they sent envoys to the Frankie country just because they didn't want to send troops, but now they use chicken feathers as command arrows?"

Xue Jie was so angry that he paced back and forth in the hall, stomped his feet again, and said angrily, "I have been in court for hundreds of years, how could they take such advantage?"

Seeing him like this, Xiao Shen stroked his beard with a smile on his face.Although he is old, he is as vigorous as a young man. Seeing his appearance, everyone knows that he has a deep heart, and they don't take this matter to heart even more.It's just that they all silently sighed that even though Xue Qing is a father, she is still as angry as when she was young when the country is involved.

Xiao Shen had fought against Yan Xunming for a long time before, and he was always a person who could hide his thoughts, even though he saw people looking at him from time to time, he pretended not to see them, standing like a mountain, standing still, only slightly glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. Yan Yi stood beside him.

Yan Yi didn't know if he saw it, but when Xue Jie's words fell and the hall was quiet, he took a step forward and respectfully asked Tang Yu who was sitting on the throne: "What do you think of this matter, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Shen glanced at Yan Yi, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger.He is old, and he will retire and return to his hometown in about a year or two, but the monarch is young after all. It is true that Yan Yi was recommended by him at the beginning, but it is unknown whether he will be loyal to the monarch.As it is now, he intends to give up the right to speak to Yan Yi, the right minister. Yan Yi can speak out in front of the emperor. No matter the consequences are good or bad, it is not difficult to persuade the emperor with his ability.

Over time, the emperor only listened to his words.

Yan Yi didn't even think about it, and asked the emperor directly.

As far as pretending, one or two times is fine, but Yan Yi does this every time, which shows his human nature.

Although the subjects couldn't look directly at the monarch, but at this moment, Tang Yu sat on the imperial steps and looked down at the ministers, as if he could feel their direct and questioning eyes.When she came to the throne at a young age, it was the Empress Dowager who listened to the government, assisted the ministers and assisted the government, leaned under the big tree carried by the predecessors to enjoy the shade, and walked smoothly all the way.Up to now, she has only achieved success and made little achievements. It is indeed difficult to convince the ministers—especially the veterans of the two dynasties.

But how could she allow this situation to continue?

Not only must she have the right, but she must hold onto it tightly so that the seed buried in her heart since childhood can take root and germinate.

Moving the capital to Jinling was something she was determined to do.Before that, what she needs to do is to establish the regal prestige and establish a solid foundation, but if there is no actual performance, how can there be regal prestige?

The Fanyi in ancient times, such as the Frankie Kingdom, were colonialists to put it bluntly.

Although she loves peace, she is not weak and bullying.
