Floating Life GL

The border between Eastern Chu and Yuan State started a small-scale friction, then expanded into a small war, and finally turned into a war that was about to break out.

Ye Xiyao and Lu Jianli stood on the stone bridge, the sun was pouring down from above their heads, and the moat under the bridge was as bright as gold. Lu Jianli had already changed into the fish-scale emperor armor, with her usual heavy sword on her waist.

A day ago, she and Ye Xiyao accompanied Lu Yu to fly a kite, and now she is ready to step into that big battlefield.

"It's been a long time since I heard the sound of war drums." Lu Jianli took a long breath, turned his head and smiled at Ye Xiyao, "Suddenly I remembered that the first time I came back from outside the Great Wall, I met you. At that time, Princess Ye had a very stubborn temper, and she had a posture that she would rather die than submit."

"You still have the nerve to say it." Ye Xiyao glared at Lu Jianli, "Why didn't you say that the Prince Lu at that time was like a flower picker who forcibly broke into my bedroom, and finally refused people thousands of miles away?"

"At that time I..."

"What are you, I judge you guilty, and you are not allowed to quibble." Ye Xiyao raised her head, and her momentum rose a bit.

Lu Jianli had no choice but to keep silent. Ye Xiyao had changed from a little white rabbit who was bullied by him to a big bad wolf who bullied her now.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble." Ye Xiyao said, she knew that Lu Jianli wanted to ease the atmosphere and didn't want her to worry too much.

Lu Jianli stretched out his arms to hug her, and bid farewell to her. Ye Xiyao leaned against Lu Jianli's arms, her cheek touched Lu Jianli's fish-scale armor, and it was cold. At that moment, Ye Xiyao felt a little uneasy in her heart. Suddenly she really wanted to ask Lu Jianli to stay, but she knew that Lu Jianli, as the emperor, couldn't.

There were no generals in the Yuan Kingdom, which was also the reason why the Yuan Kingdom was weak in the early years. If Fu Cangye was asked to go to the battlefield alone, Lu Jianli would definitely not agree.

"Being marching, be more careful, don't come back with new injuries, I don't care about you." Ye Xiyao closed her eyes, trying her best not to think wildly.

Lu Jianli left, her shadow was shortened in the midday sun.

Ye Xiyao, who returned to Yaoguang Palace, followed the usual practice, when Lu Jianli went out to fight, she made a sheng talisman to bless her, and just hung it on the door when the horn sounded, and Ye Xiyao stood by the door , listening to the trumpets one after another, echoing in the entire palace of the Yuan Kingdom.

She frowned. The last time she felt this up and down was during the great war that destroyed the Shang Kingdom.

Fortunately, in the next few months, all the news came back from the front line. As the people of the Yuan Kingdom always believed, their king would lead them to eternal victory.

After entering the summer, it began to rain continuously. At night, Ye Xiyao tucked Lu Yu up with a quilt, and a gust of wind blew open the main entrance of Yaoguang Hall, shaking and creaking back and forth.

"What's wrong?" When Ye Xiyao walked from the bedroom to the main hall, Hongye had already closed the door.

"It's nothing serious, but a gust of wind blew open the door of the main hall, it's just..." Hongye hesitated.

"En?" Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Ye Xiyao asked, "Just what?"

"It's just...the Sheng talisman hanging at the door was also blown off." Hong Ye paused, but still told the truth, stepped forward with small steps, and handed the Sheng talisman over.

Recently, I saw that the empress didn't eat much and didn't sleep well. I knew she was worried about the emperor. I didn't want to tell the empress. I waited for a while and quietly hung it up to prevent her from thinking about it. But thinking about it carefully, it's not very good .

The Sheng Talisman was wet from the rain, and felt cold in Ye Xiyao's hands.

Hongye brought the brazier, Ye Xiyao carefully dried the Sheng talisman and hung it up herself.

The military strength of the Yuan State was not as good as that of Eastern Chu, neither the horses nor the equipment were as sophisticated as that of Eastern Chu, but Fu Cangye and Lu Jianli led the troops like ghosts on the battlefield, and the generals of Eastern Chu were always a few steps behind.

The battle line has advanced a lot in the direction of Eastern Chu, but the King of Eastern Chu is not in a hurry, and seems to be waiting for an opportunity.

In the past when Lu Jianli was not in the court, Prime Minister Zhao Shiyou led the six ministries to handle the affairs of the court. Now Zhao Shiyou took the blame and sued the old man.

According to the ancestral precepts of the Yuan Kingdom, when the emperor leaves the court, the empress has the right to temporarily handle some matters on behalf of the emperor. Thanks to the time when Ye Xiyao was poisoned, Lu Jianli was afraid that she would not be able to sleep, so he asked her to handle many political affairs. Ye Xiyao also knew it in her heart.

Wang Xu saw that the queen was calm and measured, making decisions freely among various forces, having her own opinions and not offending anyone, so she relied on her with confidence.

Wang Xu, who originally cared a little about Ye Xiyao's Shang country, seemed to understand why Prime Minister Zhao uncharacteristically supported the queen before.

He came out of the meeting hall and looked up at the flowing clouds in the sky. The wind was blowing violently, and the clouds were constantly surging.

"I hope that after this war, the world can settle down." Wang Xu sighed, he had received too many reports of casualties on the front line recently, and he lowered his head and shook his head again, "However, no matter whether the world gathers or disperses, when will it really come together?" Have you settled down?"

His mediocre mind had never thought through such a magnificent question.

Four months later, Ye Xiyao bit her pen and sat on the front chair on the high platform of the meeting hall, reviewing a memorial to transport food and grass to the front line. Ye Xiyao naturally knew the importance of food and grass, but the famine broke out in Yunzhou, Taili, and so did When food was urgently needed, Ye Xiyao was worrying about weighing two things.

Wang Xu and the six ministers sat at the bottom and screened the memorials on both sides. Those who needed to be discussed would be handed over to Ye Xiyao for review. Wang Xu straightened his back in front of the table, and he stopped writing and secretly raised his eyes to look at the queen.

The bun was simply tied up with a hairpin, and there was no overly delicate makeup. He felt that the queen looked like a frowning little girl when she was worried. He suddenly thought of the emperor. In fact, the emperor was also worried like a frowning girl little child.

The door was opened at this time, to be precise, it was knocked open.Everyone in the hall was stunned, and no one would have imagined that anyone would have the courage to forcefully open the door of the meeting hall.

Soldiers filed in and surrounded them, and the last one to come in was Mu Yi, who was dressed in white.

"Mu Yi, you are so courageous." Wang Xu quickly stood up and stood between Ye Xiyao and Mu Yi. He pointed at Mu Yi's head, "What do you mean by rushing in like this with soldiers? Do you want to rebel!"

"Rebellion?" Mu Yi responded lightly, with a tinge of disbelief in his tone, as if Wang Xu had just finished telling a joke, "This king wants to take down all of them, especially...the empress."

"Prince Mu." Ye Xiyao walked down from the stage. She walked slowly, but with some breathtaking courage. The woman who stood beside Lu Jianli and worked hand in hand.

Ye Xiyao bypassed Wang Xu and walked in front of Mu Yi, "The imperial court has always put the people first, and the emperor as the guideline. Right now, the emperor is fighting for the people of the Yuan Kingdom and Eastern Chu. Dare I ask, whose court do you want to uphold? Whose gang is it? The [-] Yulin army in my palace is not a place where you come just as you say."

"The queen empress is really eloquent. The court is naturally the court of the emperor. Unfortunately, my ancestors in the Yuan Dynasty taught that only men are allowed to be emperors. She, Lu Jianli, is a fake Phoenix woman at all, and has no qualifications to be emperor." Mu Yi narrowed his eyes, like a scheming and lecherous fox, "Besides, you two women are able to get along so easily that you can get married. , it is the same as marrying into the Shang country, and not even from the Yuan country."

Wang Xu's mind was suddenly blocked and he couldn't think.

"What? The emperor is... Mu Yi, don't talk about it, there is no such thing in the world!" Hubu Shangshu said loudly.

"Yes or not, you can ask the empress yourself."

A look of surprise flashed across Ye Xiyao's face. She and Lu Jianli had imagined many times when their identities would be exposed, but they had never put Mu Yi in the list of candidates. He acted like an idle prince with nothing to do. Since Mu Yi said such exact words, she was sure of Lu Jianli's identity, and she had no way to refute it. After a brief surprise, Ye Xiyao quickly regained her composure.

Seeing that Ye Xiyao didn't refute, and several ministers looked at each other, they understood a little bit, Wang Xu felt that his mind was even more dull.

Mu Yi waved his hand, "Get it for me!"

"Wait." The young queen's voice was very soft, and her expression was very indifferent, but the soldiers stopped in unison, her brown eyes fixed on Mu Yi, "You can take me away, but before that, I have something to say."

"Oh?" Mu Yi looked at Ye Xiyao and found it interesting. He also wanted to hear what this "special" queen could say at this moment to turn the tide, "Although I don't want to hear any evil words, but If you don't let a woman finish her last words, this king would be too unreasonable."

"Then I really want to thank the lord for your generosity." No one could tell that this was not true gratitude, Ye Xiyao's expression became even colder, she waved her sleeve vigorously, looked around everyone present, "I There are three questions to ask."

"First, Shangyuan and Xiayuan fought for hundreds of years. Xiayuan's soldiers were weak, and they were defeated many times in Liyuan. It must be the first to unify the Yuan Kingdom in two years, so that the relatives who are separated from the two places will no longer suffer from separation. Presumably some people present have relatives who were in Shangyuan and could not see each other. Now the upper and lower Yuan Kingdoms are one family. Is it the emperor's merit to end the century-old stalemate in two years?"

Everyone in the hall said nothing, and no one could say no.

"Secondly, in these years, under the rule of the emperor, the Yuan Kingdom had clear politics and smooth laws. In the troubled times, Shangyuan and Shang Kingdom were destroyed, and Northern Xinjiang became a subsidiary country. The small country that was guarded has become a powerful country that can compete with Eastern Chu and Qiang. ?”

Another moment of silence.

"No one answered, so the third question, so, the emperor, so what if it's a woman!" Ye Xiyao said this with almost all her strength, her knuckles turned white from clenching tightly.

"This... this is too..." Minister of the Ministry of Industry murmured a few words, and his voice became quieter again. As Ye Xiyao said, as a woman, Lu Jianli is not inferior to a man. Even more forward-looking.

Ye Xiyao thought, as long as she can win over some people's support, maybe things will turn around.

Mu Yi laughed suddenly, and the people present were puzzled by the laughter, and then he clapped his hands vigorously, "Listening to this speech is like reading a book of ten years. I couldn't help but marvel at the clichés swearing at us like we were a bunch of unrepentant idiots."

"But, my respected queen." Mu Yi stepped forward, leaned into Ye Xiyao's ear, and said in a voice that only she could hear, "Everything in this world has rules, even if what you say is correct, There is no way to break the rules. Now these people must feel that what you said is right and that you are wrong. The reason why ordinary people are controlled by others and obey the orders of others is because they have I don't know how to think anymore, I just wait for others to tell them what is right and what is wrong, such as..."

"The rumors about the demon girl are confusing the public!" Mu Yi suddenly raised his voice, "Your words will only mess up the world. Could it be that women will be officials in the future, and men will weave clothes and cook at home? Take her down for me, temporarily. Imprisoned in the Yaoguang Palace, she is not allowed to leave half a step!"

"Yes!" A few soldiers separated Wang Xu from the ministers of the Sixth Ministry, and stretched out their hands to grab Ye Xiyao.

"Don't touch me." Ye Xiyao said, "I'll go by myself."

The soldier looked at Mu Yi, and seeing Mu Yi nodded in agreement, he just walked out behind Ye Xiyao silently.

"That's right." When Ye Xiyao walked to the door, Mu Yi suddenly said that he walked up to Ye Xiyao, "Men can have three wives and four concubines, and they can be married, but women can't. There are men in this world. Good masculinity, with the obsession of Longyang, is often acquiesced by others, but women and women are not allowed, women can only maintain their chastity at all times. The rules in this world are set by men, so naturally they are beneficial to men, women It is impossible to be equal to a man, let alone surpass a man and take the position of ruling the world."

This is the way it is in this world. If you go against the inherent thinking of people, no matter how reasonable it is, even if you are not wrong, it is still unreasonable and wrong.Where is the mistake of women falling in love, the mistake is breaking the rules, even if you try your best to tell others that we don't hurt anyone.

"Also." Mu Yi continued, "In a short while, I'm afraid Lu Jianli will die on the battlefield, and those who were deceived by her will be killed by the subordinates she once led."

Seeing Ye Xiyao's angry eyes, Mu Yi was very happy, "Okay, now you can go to your Yaoguang Palace and enjoy it, your last time."

Ye Xiyao stepped out of the meeting hall, the sun was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes, she walked step by step on the road leading to Yaoguang hall that she was most familiar with, when the scene of Lu Jianli's blood-stained battlefield appeared in front of her eyes, she gritted her teeth , she thought, it's her turn to save her this time, she can't let Lu Jianli die, never.

Wang Xu stared blankly at Ye Xiyao's back walking away, his mind suddenly opened up, and the people around him talked with Mu Yi about what happened just now, and they wanted to curry favor with Mu Yi. Xu frowned, and quietly joined the ranks of these people, with his hypocritical side.

The author has something to say: I don’t know why the second half of this chapter is very happy to write, although...there is nothing left to write in this story, the only thing left is an explanation of the ownership of each country at the end, so I skipped it in the middle Bar.
