Duan Shiyu walked out of the Supreme Palace and on the way back to the East Palace, he met Ji Qingyun.Ji Qingyun was followed by the eunuch's servant, as soon as the two met, Duan Shiyu stepped forward to hug Ji Qingyun, feeling even more wronged.

Ji Qingyun was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, he looked around and pushed Duan Shiyu away.He looked up, saw Duan Shiyu's eye circles were red, and asked, "Crying?"

"En." Duan Shiyu didn't hide it.

"Pfft..." Ji Qingyun took a step back, the corners of his mouth twitching: "Prince...er...um..."

Duan Shiyu pinched his eyes and asked, "Where are you going, sir?"

Ji Qingyun sighed and said, "The Empress Dowager wants to see me."

"See you?" Duan Shiyu had a bad premonition, fearing that Ji Qingyun would be transferred away from his side by the Empress Dowager just like Er Yue, so he quickly grabbed Ji Qingyun and said, "I will go with you sir."

"Don't, don't, don't." Ji Qingyun withdrew his hand and said, "The Empress Dowager sees me this time, don't you see why?"

Duan Shiyu: "???"

Ji Qingyun said helplessly: "It's not because of your two rear rooms. It's been so long, you don't have the same room, and you are tired of being with me all day long. Isn't it just that the empress dowager heard some rumors and thought that the prince and I ...that's why you want to see me."

Duan Shiyu: "..."

"That's all, the emperor will go back first." Ji Qingyun glanced at him, not daring to chat with him for a long time, followed the servant to the Empress Dowager's Wuji Palace.

Ji Qingyun is very good at coaxing people, and he coaxed the Empress Dowager from ear to ear. In addition, Ji Qingyun is very far-sighted about government affairs, the Empress Dowager chatted with him, and found that Ji Qingyun is a talent for governing the country, so she was reluctant Instead of punishing him, Ji Qingyun was often called to the Promise Palace to chat with him.

Ji Qingyun stabilized the Empress Dowager, and the situation in the palace improved somewhat.The queen didn't dare to find fault.

In the middle of the year, the emperor issued an imperial edict, adding crimes to King Wu, which made Duan Shiyu the crown prince justifiable.

At the end of the year, the northern dog army attacked again, burning, killing and plundering the resources of many counties in the north.Duan Shiyu was furious, and wanted to lead an army northward to attack Quan Rong, but was stopped by Ji Qingyun.

The previous wars and the construction of the Tongtian Pavilion were all spent on the money saved by the two former emperors. At this time, the treasury has become increasingly empty, and this battle cannot be fought again.

The country is in dire straits, and the thieves in the south have not been wiped out, and the army is going north again, which will only increase the burden on the country.Now we can only adopt a peace policy.Although the marriage can only be stable for two or three years, the time of these two or three years is enough to wipe out the bandits.

Ji Qingyun's proposal was approved by the Empress Dowager.He loves Ji Qingyun even more.

This winter, the northern border is proud and peaceful, but the rogues in the south are still not wiped out.It took Zhang Ziwen more than half a year to go.Both sides have their own worries, but they can't meet each other.

After the first month, the emperor fell seriously ill again, and gave up the throne to Duan Shiyu, and became the Supreme Emperor himself, hiding in the harem every day to practice immortality.

Duan Shiyu has since officially proclaimed himself emperor.This means that most of the rights have been obtained, and it also shows that the construction of Tongtian Pavilion and the new capital has come to an end.However, the national treasury is running low day by day. Although most of Kyushu has been retaken, the power of thieves is still rampant.

In order to appease the peasants, Duan Shiyu adopted Zhisu Neishi's opinion and compensated those peasants who built the Tongtian Pavilion.Some civilian husbands’ hometowns were still in Jingzhou and Liangzhou occupied by the rogues, so they had to be temporarily arranged in Kyoto, and some of them were included in the military camp.

In order to get money from some wealthy households, they opened up the household registration in Kyoto and let those wealthy households buy the household registration in Kyoto.Then the land tax was reduced, the poll tax was lowered, and the counties and states were ordered to reward farming, weaving and farming.The most important thing is to abolish the harsh laws enacted by the former emperor.

A country cannot be without a master for a day, and a king cannot be without a heir for a day. Things in the capital have stabilized for the time being, and the empress dowager is starting to set up a heir.The old lady heard that Duan Shiyu didn't favor the harem, so she asked Duan Shiyu three times and four times, and asked the Taoist priest to grant him the magic of the house. In addition to letting him read the books on governing the country every day, she also forced him to read erotic pictures. Duan Shiyu was so miserable.

Until the autumn harvest, the battle between Yu Chiyuan and Zhang Ziwen fell into a state of anxiety again.

Gao Zhan did not know what method he used, and united with the Yue State in the south, and with the Yue State as the backing, he confronted the Yu Army in Wuyang for a full three months. The county began to defect again.

In addition, Pu Yangye occupied Yangzhou again, and the three parties stood together, so the imperial court could not gain any benefits.

Zhang Ziwen asked Yu Chiyuan to go to Changsha King for help, but Changsha King didn't recognize the general, only the emperor.

Duan Shiyu was feeling bored, and Zhang Ziwen missed him very much, so he used this excuse to bring only [-] Imperial Forest troops to the battlefield.

……

When Duan Shiyu arrived at the front line, Pu Yangye had already killed half of the people in Xiangze County and threatened him.

Yu Chiyuan opened the city gate according to Zhang Ziwen's suggestion.Pu Yangye and Gao Zhan had already broken up. If one side attacked, the other side's forces would definitely cut him off. The stalemate lasted for three months.

In the past three months, people have been sneaking out from Xiangze County to Xiali County where Yu Chiyuan is located.

It was already night when Duan Shiyu arrived in Xiali County, and Zhang Ziwen was guarding the city gate. He saw three people running away from a distance, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Quick, go down and check."

"Yes." The soldier clasped his fists and walked down the city wall.

Zhang Ziwen clenched his fist and knocked on the wall. Just as he was about to go down together to inquire about the situation of the refugees in Xiangze County, his eyes were covered from behind.

Zhang Ziwen was stunned, and asked, "General?"

As soon as Zhang Ziwen finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.Yu Chiyuan would not do this kind of thing to him, he held the man's hand, and when he looked back, he saw Duan Shiyu's smiling face.

Zhang Ziwen felt sour and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Qingyun smiled and said: "He is the emperor now, junior brother should hurry up and salute."

Zhang Ziwen swallowed, and raised his hand to salute.Duan Shiyu raised his hand and asked: "Sir, there is no need. How is the situation here now?"

Zhang Ziwen said: "What else can we do? The bandits are not at odds with each other, and our side is at odds with each other. Fighting is a waste of money. If this continues, the poor will die of poverty, and the King of Changsha will not help."

Duan Shiyu said: "I... I came here for this purpose." Duan Shiyu tilted his head, and the constant attendant Kutuo came up with a sword in his hand.Duan Shiyu said: "It's not difficult. Many years ago, the king of Changsha was in civil strife. The crown prince put his grand cousin uncle under house arrest. It was the emperor father who sent troops to rescue his grand cousin uncle."

Zhang Ziwen glanced at Yu Jian, smiled after a long absence, and said, "It's so great."

Duan Shiyu stared at Zhang Ziwen and said with a smile: "Then can I hug Mr.?"

"..." Zhang Ziwen glanced at Ji Qingyun, Ji Qingyun quickly turned his head, pretending not to see it.Zhang Ziwen whispered: "I don't know who it is fighting for."

"It's me, it's me." Duan Shiyu hugged Zhang Ziwen's waist and swung it around a few times, making Zhang Ziwen dizzy.

When Yu Chiyuan heard the news, he hurried to the city wall, knelt down on one knee, gave a military salute, and shouted: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Duan Shiyu let go of Zhang Ziwen, turned around and saw that it was Yu Chiyuan, he quickly helped him up, the two hugged each other, and quickly let go.Yu Chiyuan had an unshaven beard and a tired face.

Duan Shiyu patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it should be." Yu Chiyuan smiled, this grin made his dry lips hurt.He licked his lips and glanced at Ji Qingyun.

Ji Qingyun said: "You have grown up."

Yu Chiyuan scratched his ears, blushing up to the base of his ears.

Ji Qingyun leaned over and said, "I have bad news and good news, which one do you want the general to hear?"

Yu Chiyuan curled his lips and said, "What good news can you bring me?"

Ji Qingyun smiled and said, "I'll tell you later, Your Majesty will go into the house."

Duan Shiyu remembered that there was still something important to say, and several people hurried to the watchtower.The soldiers hung the sheepskin map on the wall. Duan Shiyu walked over, pointed to the State of Lettuce to the south of the State of Yue, and said, "I plan to send people to the State of Lettuce to mediate and let them send troops to attack the State of Yue. What do you think? ?”

Yu Chiyuan said: "Will the King of Yue agree? Besides, why don't you send more soldiers and give me another [-], I will be able to drive those bandits out of Yuzhou."

Duan Shiyu was embarrassed, and said aggrievedly: "The tiger amulet is in the hands of the Empress Dowager, she dare not fight with soldiers."

Yu Chiyuan: "Oh."

Ji Qingyun said: "The Kingdom of Lettuce has been on good terms with our country all the year round. Back then when the Kingdom of Yue invaded the Kingdom of Lettuce, our country also sent troops to help it. If you want to come to the Kingdom of Lettuce, you will not refuse."

Yu Chiyuan snorted and said, "Who knows if they will make trouble, the King of Changsha is also watching."

Yu Chiyuan went to the King of Changsha before and had a closed door, and he has always held a grudge against this matter.Ji Qingyun sat over, touched Wei Chiyuan's hand and said, "But the Lettuce won't help me, Dayu. After the Yue Kingdom becomes stronger, will the Lettuce have any good fruit to eat?"

A layer of goosebumps appeared on the back of Yu Chiyuan's hands, he put his hands behind his back and asked, "Then who will be sent to the country of lettuce?"

Duan Shiyu said: "Of course the Empress Dowager will choose this person. If she doesn't want to send troops, then she will choose someone."

Zhang Ziwen said: "The first is to fight against the enemy, the second is to attack the diplomatic relations, and the second is to attack the city. The Empress Dowager is a sensible person. She must understand this."

Duan Shiyu approached Zhang Ziwen casually, and asked with a smile, "Sir, do you think it's feasible?"

Zhang Ziwen took half a step back and said, "Of course."

"That's good." Duan Shiyu stared at Zhang Ziwen, pointed at Kutuo, and said, "Have someone help me draft a memorial and send it back to the capital tomorrow."

Ku Tuo said: "Yes."

Duan Shiyu hooked his lips, hugged Zhang Ziwen horizontally, and said: "Zhen, there are still some things that I need to discuss with my husband."

Duan Shiyu moved suddenly, before Zhang Ziwen realized what was going on, Duan Shiyu had already carried him down the arrow tower.

Ji Qingyun and Yu Chiyuan looked at each other in blank dismay.Yu Chiyuan asked: "Your Majesty, he..."

Ji Qingyun didn't expect Duan Shiyu to be so impatient. He licked his lips and said, "Your Majesty has placed two women in the harem, but they have never favored them. Does the general know?"

Yu Chiyuan said: "How do I know, I have been outside for more than a year."

Ji Qingyun snorted and said with a smile: "The empress dowager thought our emperor was not good enough, so she just asked a Taoist priest to teach him the art of intercourse. This knowledge has gone up, and I haven't practiced it yet. Can you not be impatient."

Yu Chiyuan laughed and said, "Then can he do it?"

"How do I know." Ji Qingyun hooked Yu Chiyuan's hand and said, "Then can you do it?"

Yu Chiyuan withdrew his hand: "It's okay, you'll know if you try it."

"!!!" Ji Qingyun covered his face, was surprised for a moment, jumped on Yu Chiyuan, bit his ear, and asked, "Shall we start???"

Yu Chiyuan: "..."
