imprinted you in my heart

As night fell and the lights came on, a fast horse finally rushed to the west gate of Fandu. The man on horseback was dressed as an orderly soldier, and the flag on his back showed the urgency of the situation, but he was stopped by the city gate guard for interrogation as usual.

It's not that the guards are troubled, but tomorrow is the day of the emperor's wedding. Today, His Majesty went to the countryside to offer sacrifices. In addition to the fact that he was assassinated before, the alert order was issued half a month ago. No matter who, everyone Entering the complex must accept interrogation, except for urgent military information and documents of six hundred miles or more.

"General, I have four hundred miles of urgent military information on my back, and I need to submit it urgently. Please let the general let me go." The stopped messenger cupped his hands, his face was tired and dusty, and his tone was rather anxious, and he did not dismount.

"Your Majesty has an order, and this general is also responsible, please cooperate..." The guard acted like a businessman, and the messenger had to dismount to cooperate. .

It was already a stick of incense when the messengers rode into the city again. The guards and the imperial guards continued their work, hoping that the time for the curfew to be locked would come soon, and they would go back to rest after the handover.

Shi Min finally entered through the Zhongnan Gate before dark and arrived at the last sacrificial place—the Taimiao. He also saw Yanjun Wang and others waiting in the Taimiao, so he summoned him as usual, and learned that the canonization ceremony went smoothly. , quite satisfied, after some encouragement, the two teams merged into one and continued the sacrifice.

Half an hour later, the Taimiao sacrifices were completed, and Shi Min returned to the palace surrounded by internal officials, palace servants, imperial guards, and other ministers. It was not until the Dacheng Gate that the ministers and other people outside the palace stopped and stood on both sides respectfully. After watching the guard of honor pass through the gate, they each find their own chariots and horses and go back to their respective homes.

When passing Chengtianmen, a group of internal forbidden troops were left behind. Those who were on duty went to be on duty, and those who were not on duty were directly disbanded on the spot. The two splits made the originally huge team shrink a lot.

When going up the jade robes in the Taimiao, Shi Min's mian clothes were neatly dressed, but when he got down the jade robes inside Chengtian Gate, the mian bins were no longer on top of his head, being held up respectfully by Lu Guanchu behind him, and his clothes were also a little wrinkled.

Yuren, which has a very poor ride quality, was greatly remodeled by Shi Min. Except for the name, everything else has changed more or less. It is finally more comfortable, and the privacy has also been greatly improved. It is no longer like before. After sitting for a long time, today's sacrifice specially chose the new jade.

Sitting down for a day, the ride experience is indeed more than one grade better than before, and she also specially asked people to make a shock absorber. In addition, the interior area of ​​the car is already wide, and now it is not much worse than the jade chariot.

The jade chariot is good, but it is a waste of manpower to carry 36 people, and at least two teams have to be prepared to carry it alternately. Shi Min is in a hurry and wants to save costs. The horse-drawn jade chariot is the best. s Choice.

After getting off the jade scorpion, Shi Min changed to the imperial chariot, and when he returned to Fengde Palace, he was too tired to move at all.Today, not only was she wearing the heaviest and most cumbersome gown, but she was also bumping all the way, either on the way to offering sacrifices or during offering sacrifices. It was more tiring than exercising for an hour.

Shi Min sat and rested for a while, and finally came back to life. Just as the hot water was ready, he went to take a hot bath, changed into casual clothes, and felt refreshed instantly. Hunger, I ate a little for lunch and dinner, and didn't eat much at all.

She really wanted someone to go to the imperial dining room to send a message, but when she asked about the time, it was almost midnight. Even if there were people in the imperial dining room, they might not be chefs who could handle the cooking. Moreover, if she ate supper tonight, the imperial dining room would be there every day in the future. Supper is prepared every day, and it is not a small expense that accumulates over time.

After much deliberation, Shi Min gave up his thoughts and decided to use the seasonal fruits and snacks in the palace to deal with it, "Your Majesty, how can fruit snacks satisfy your hunger, please let me go to the imperial dining room to pass the message," Lu Guanchu couldn't bear it.

"I just need a cushion, it's late at night, let them rest." After Shi Min finished speaking, he picked up the snacks on the coffee table in front of him and ate them. Because the snacks were too dry, he drank several cups of tea to moisten his throat.

When Lu Guanchu saw this, he turned his face away and wiped his tears secretly, when Shi Min saw that he didn't eat the grapes, and immediately said with concern: "You have been by my side for so many years, and I have never seen you so sad, but something difficult happened at home. ?”.

Lu Guanchu collected his emotions and saluted, "Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, everything is fine in my family."

"Then why do you hide your face and cry?" Shi Min continued to ask, and started eating grapes again.

"I see that Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven, eats fruits and snacks to satisfy his hunger, so I feel sorry for Your Majesty." What Lu Guanchu didn't say was that when the late Emperor was in power, he never cared about the life and death of the palace servants. Even if he was hungry in the middle of the night, he still had to eat hot food , and even slower.

What Lu Guanchu said made Shi Min, who was eating grapes, move a bit. It seemed normal to her, but to Lu Guanchu and the others, it was because she had been greatly wronged. "There are fruit snacks in the middle of the night. I am very lucky to have a full stomach. Although my dynasty has a large land and rich resources, there are also a lot of poor people. It is a blessing for them to have food to satisfy their hunger every day. I am afraid that they may not eat fruit snacks a few times a year. Most people eat it What is not available is not luck.”

"Your Majesty is ashamed, Your Majesty is so broad-minded, I can't compare to you." Lu Guanchu felt ashamed, an emperor would compare himself with ordinary people, this is unique, and she never thought of it.

Shi Min smiled and said nothing, he was [-]% full in a short while, and gave Lu Guanchu some fruits and snacks that he specially left aside, asked her to take them back to eat, and told her to go to bed early.

She herself didn't feel sleepy at all, maybe she just drank tea, or maybe it was premarital syndrome - she was too nervous and excited, as long as she thought that tomorrow was her and Bu Qianxue's wedding day, she would be able to see Bu Qianxue. Qian Renxue, her heartbeat would speed up, and it was an uncontrollable speed up.

After pacing back and forth in the hall for a while, Shi Min simply went to the study, ready to read books to pass the time. She has already reviewed all the memorials and secret letters received before today. Unless there are special circumstances, today and the next two days are estimated to be in It will be presented after the wedding.

So even if she wanted to work overtime tonight, she didn't have overtime, so she could only read idle books to pass the time. As soon as she entered the study, she saw a tightly wrapped book on the side of the table. The book was given by the Queen Mother last night. Someone brought it over, and even specially sent a message to her to remember to take a good look.

But yesterday there were a lot of memorials, and the review was very late, and she went to sleep directly after finishing her work, completely forgetting the existence of this book, and was about to open it, when Yichun’s voice came from outside, saying that there was an urgent military intelligence report. .

Shi Min had no choice but to bear down her desire to see, and let Yichun come in. In order to prevent the people below from jeopardizing important information due to the wedding, she specially ordered to explain that any military information and documents that are urgent and above [-] miles can be submitted directly. .

After Yi Chun saluted and greeted him, he gave a general report on the matter, and after receiving Shi Min's consent, he opened the sealed letter box, took out the envelope inside, and presented it to Shi Min after confirming that it was correct.

When Yichun reported where the letter came from, Shi Min had already guessed a thing or two, and when she opened it, she guessed it right, which was the same as what Guo Fanqiu reported to her yesterday.

This may also be another reason why she couldn't sleep, and it was irritating to say it. She was determined to bear it, that is, she didn't send troops to attack Fang La, and she didn't agree to the request of the vassal state Braque to attack. , but Lei Ting was furious and began to gather troops to attack her.

Originally, Fangla and Braque were two countries that did not border at all, but because of King Fangla's hard work and hard work in expanding the territory in the past two years, he annexed and attacked all the way, and finally became two bordering countries. This is what King Braque had to do. The reason for writing a book to challenge the battle, the attitude must be corrected.

The result was also as expected by King Braque. The emperor did not agree to his request, but also rewarded him and rewarded him with some things.

When he learned that Fang La Kingdom had started to gather troops, Shi Min secretly ordered martial law to the two passes bordering Braque, asking them to prepare well.

Now the military information in her hand was sent by one of the great governors. Because Brak did not excuse it, King Fang La had sent 50 vanguard troops to attack Brak, and announced that he would send a total of [-] troops, and planned to destroy it in a month. Braque, destroying the Hua Dynasty in half a year.

This is what Guo Fanqiu reported to her last night. She was so bold, and she wasn’t afraid to lick her tongue. If she wasn’t going to get married now, she would have personally recruited and educated Fang La to let him know how high the sky is and how big the earth is. thick.

After letting Yichun go out to wait, Shi Min took out two secret letters from the bookshelf, which she wrote last night, one at each pass, allowing them to send troops to rescue Braque if necessary, but their The first task is to ensure that the pass he guards is safe.

After thinking that the time was almost up, Shi Min asked Yichun to come in and expedited the letter by [-] miles, and Yichun took the order to leave.

After Yichun left, Shi Min fell into deep thought, 50 troops?I'm afraid that the actual strength of the troops is less than half. If the New Deal and artillery were not implemented, she would still feel a little guilty, but now, she is not afraid at all, she is afraid that they will not dare to come.

The only thing that worries Shi Min is that Braque has been frantically building infrastructure for the past two years. Will it cause the combat effectiveness of their soldiers to decline?If they descended, the effect of fighting between snipe and clam would not be achieved, and they would soon face Fang La directly, which was not what she wanted to see.

After thinking for a while, Shi Min's attention returned to the table, looking at the tightly wrapped book, and just remembered that the book sent by the Queen Mother had not been read yet, and opened it with his hand, only to realize that the book's name is "Secret Words" , very clean and tidy, and the paper quality is different from ordinary books.

Shi Min thought it was some royal family secret, and opened it with great anticipation, but after reading it for a while, he snapped the book together, as if there was some monster inside, his face was red and hot, and his heart was pounding.

She never thought that this was a book that was not suitable for children, no wonder it was given to her before marriage, and it was wrapped so tightly. It was specially given to her at night, and there was no deep meaning in doing it for a long time.

She couldn't sleep at first, and now she can't sleep even more. After several struggles, she finally looked "seriously". The more experience, the better.

Later, Shi Min learned that although this kind of book was strictly prohibited in the market and could not be sold, there were basically one or two copies in the rich families, and they were passed down from generation to generation, and they were well hidden.

And Bu Qianxue, like her, received a mysterious book tonight, especially the words her mother said when she gave her the book, which made her a little confused until she followed Jiang Li's words. When a person opened a book in the study, he suddenly realized, and then he was ashamed and blushed.

The night before the big wedding is destined to be an extraordinary night for the two couples, and it is also a night where it is difficult to sleep. ?
