"Yeah!"

While the courtiers were shocked, Yulu's clear and cheerful voice echoed in the inner hall, and he trotted to the inner hall, and directly hugged Wang Xi wrapped in red cloth:

"Father, please take it."

Ye Qiufeng didn't raise his hand, but looked at the courtiers who were still stunned.

"Ahem, if Ye Gong can come back alive, quell the crisis, and save the surrounding army from sending troops to war, it can be regarded as... promising?" Zhang Mingzhong turned his head slowly from side to side, looking at his colleagues around him.

"But it's obviously the fault of Ye Gong's reckless dispatch of troops." Yin Rui retorted in a low voice.

"Now is not the time to think about it after the fact. Solve the problem! Besides, there are gains and losses in expanding the territory. Expanding the two states is also a great achievement." Dali Temple Minister Li Xu said sharply.

"The only problem is, Ye Shi, Hua Shi, Zhengtong..."

Ye Qiufeng smiled lightly: "If you don't want to, are there other ways?"

"It's not that I don't want to, the king is still the young master, and the successor is still the Hua family, which also continues the orthodoxy, and I am willing!" Zhang Mingzhong was the first to support, and then looked around at his colleagues, his head was covered with sweat.

"I...will also." Li Xu replied hesitantly.

"If Mr. Ye can save me from crossing the country from danger to safety, I will be... willing." Yin Rui followed up.

"Qiufeng, why are you suddenly... I was a little bit a little bit for a while, and I couldn't accept it."

Hua Mu Yuhuan looked at the courtiers who bowed to express their willingness one after another. She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, as if she was being forced to accept the reality. She went to Zhou Guo to confess her guilt.

And... It seems that she is used to being her own subject, and suddenly, she also became a king.

"Mu Yu, I will always be your subject. If you don't want to, then think again. Is there any other way?" Ye Qiufeng pressed against her ear, whispering sincerely.

Wang Xi was too heavy, Yulu hugged it for a long time, but Ye Qiufeng didn't see it, so he had to put Wang Xi on the Zhu table, and moved his sore wrist twice.

"Father, it's too heavy to hold this Wang Xi when I grow up." Yulu pouted and looked at Ye Qiufeng eagerly.

"In the past 30 years, the Ye family has made great achievements in protecting the country many times. He led troops to conquer and expand the territory, but when he lost the city, it was because of... the minister's willingness!"

"The minister is willing!"

This voice suddenly became louder, or they each had their own thoughts, or they were really willing because of the need to solve the crisis.

Ye Qiufeng looked at Hua Muyu:

"Do you want to?"

"Yes, but I don't want you to go to Zhou Guo." Hua Muyu had mixed feelings.

Ye Qiufeng looked down at his left hand, and at this moment, counted Xiao Liuren.

Traveling without moving, rushing to the north, seeking for the day is not yet clear, those who went did not return.

Chai Shirong is not in Bianliang?

If this is right, if you go directly to Bianliang, how long will you have to wait for him in Bianliang?

Ye Qiufeng sank his heart, and bit the bullet:

"Never lie to you, I will return when I promise you."

Hua Muyu smiled lightly, unable to see through her emotions, but gritted her teeth slightly:

"If you dare to lie to me, I don't mind my husband spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair."

Ye Qiufeng's legs softened:

"Anyway, I can come back."

The emotions in Hua Muyu's eyes were complicated, and she knew that she was not someone who was greedy for power, and she asked for the seat at this moment to shoulder the heavy burden.

Ying Wenjun, who was promoted from a local official to an internal official from the fourth-rank Jiancheng, had never spoken in court, and just sat silently outside the Zhu case. At this moment, he was even more stunned. Happened, my blessed mouth.

Ye Qiufeng swallowed his saliva, then turned to face the courtiers:

"Everything is as usual, only a notice to the world is issued, the young master conferred the title of son, he is the heir, to participate in the government, and the majesty of the mansion has orders, to establish the country and inherit the family, and continue to supervise the country, it is the wife of the country."

After speaking briefly, the inner hall was quiet for a moment, and then the courtiers stood on both sides of the Zhu case, bowed and shouted:

"The king is a thousand years old..."

Ye Qiufeng raised his hand to interrupt the mountain call:

"I and Jian Guo will respect the Majesty together."

*[Xiaojun is one of the respectful titles for the lady of the country. It is rarely called "Maharaja" but there are precedents. ]

*[The majesty has a life, founding the country and carrying on the family: the king has the mission of establishing the country and undertaking the governance of the government and the country. ]

*[The young master refers to the young emperor and monarch. ]

……

On the tower of the south gate of the palace, Ye Qiufeng and Hua Muyu, dressed in dark gold and black crowns, stood on both sides of Yulu. Yulu held the edict of the Zen position in his hand and faced the imperial street. People gathered around to watch the huge Announcement Book hanging on the city wall.

The guards stood in two rows, holding black banners, and stood under the city tower to curb order.

"I was born alone in troubled times, and I was ordered to explain the extremes. However, natural disasters and man-made disasters, frequented the country of Yue, and I was very lonely. I sat in the court every day, worried about the affairs of the people, and I still lacked strength. I am afraid that I will not have the power to save the world."

"The Duke of the State, Ye Shi, is heavenly and powerful, with deep wisdom and machine, stable mountains and rivers, a great talent and great strategy, vibrating the ancient times, and protecting me from the past. It is Lai. Today Zen is located in the Duke of the State, and he retreats to the crown prince alone. Participate in government affairs, announce to the world, and make people aware of it."

After reading the edict of the Zen position, the surrounding people under the city tower were agitated, and Ye Qiufeng was not sure whether this conformed to the people's will.

There were as many things going on in the inner hall as before, but Hua Muyu was nowhere to be seen, and she didn't know where she had gone.

"Majesty, the king of Yue has read the edict, but he didn't speak, and continued to sleep."

"The sleeping palace has been moved to Yanfu Palace, the repairs have been completed, and Maharaja's wife has returned to Jingling Palace."

Officials and ministers from various temple supervisors came one after another to report some miscellaneous and detailed matters. The county is the basic unit of the matter, and every county often sends the matter directly to the inner hall, which makes people feel devastated and exhausted.

"Where did Madam go? Please Madam come to the inner hall." Ye Qiufeng rubbed his head and said to Chang Shiguan.

"Madam said that she is planting flowers in the Danbo Garden and will not come to the inner hall."

"..."

"I will be sent to Zhou State again, and I have to deal with these matters before I go. If she doesn't come, I won't be able to deal with it."

While Ye Qiufeng was speaking, several other permanent servants neatly placed several certificates to one side, and Zhang Mingzhong, the servant of the Ministry of War, also came over with several certificates.

"My lord, the calculation of the military pay for last month has been completed, please approve. Also, this campaign in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou is a great victory for the brave army, but it is for our country of Yue...you should see How to reward?"

Zhang Mingzhong paused, then continued to say the next thing:

"No wonder you ordered the establishment of a state-level government. Fortunately, I didn't delay. After the victory of the brave army, the government immediately followed the army to enter the country for governance. It was exempted from taxation for three years. Although the local people were disturbed, they After all, I have generally settled down, and Tingzhou and Fuzhou have also been spared the collision from the fleeing households from the two states. If this trip to Zhou State restores the two states to Qingyuan, from the perspective of the local people, the minister is quite Not happy to see."

"Yeah," Ye Qiufeng squeezed the aching eyebrows:

"Zhang Shilang, Er Anmin, you have made great contributions to supporting me as a superior. When I return from my envoy, I will be awarded the Duke of Qingyuan County and reward [-] households in the city."

Zhang Mingzhong smiled wryly: "Your Majesty chose this time to take the throne. Those who are sensible know why. The surrounding countries are so turbulent that our country of Yue is also suffering from internal and external troubles, and the negotiation with Wu is still deadlocked. I am over [-] years old. At Pentecost, if you can see the recovery of Hu and Su seven counties in person in your lifetime, your life will be considered complete."

"Not only Hu and Su, but in short, we will continue to form state-level governments. Our country of Yue will not only have more than 20 states in the district, but will act in secret. The brave army will win a great victory. We should reward ourselves and order Taifu Temple to cast "Dayue" on the front and back. , [-] meritorious gold talismans with the word 'brave', as rewards."

Communicating with Zhang Mingzhong to settle some matters, and then busy for a long time to deal with the matter, the matter on the case was finally approved in sevens and eighty-eight. When the sun was setting, Hua Muyu wore a bright red dress and shoulder shawl. Dressed in green gauze, she came with a light smile. Apart from being beautiful and jealous, this leisurely life is also jealous to death.

"Husband, planting flowers is a bit tiring, so I will press the sills for me."

When the voice fell, Hua Muyu was already lying on her lap, waiting to be served.

Ye Qiufeng gritted his teeth, squeezed a smile, kneaded and waited obediently, looking at her face with a relaxed smile, Ye Qiufeng thought to himself, he wanted her to smile, as long as she didn't let her burn out in the inner hall. .

"Ma'am is in a good mood."

"Well, today is the most relaxed day in this palace. You don't have to wear a crown suit and you can go wherever you want. It's really comfortable. No wonder you always run outside." Hua Muyu winked at her with a smile.

"Are you still out of the palace?" Ye Qiufeng was worried that there would be danger outside.

"Well, I went to the Qiufeng Temple on purpose. I thought that there was no one interested in the Qiufeng Temple. There were actually people playing Shuanglu, dice, and drinking in the clinker. It took me about a quarter of an hour to learn how to play. It was unavoidable. And ask the villagers to beat the 'autumn wind'."

Ye Qiufeng sneered, it was rare for her to be happy, so he didn't mention the things that spoiled her interest:

"You can go anywhere. Remember to wear chain mail and bring more followers. This is the inner hall. If you don't want to come, don't come."

"Of course you want to come. Come here when you're tired. You are so good at massage, so you should come here often to relax your muscles and bones."

While talking, she began to feel drowsy again, murmured "I'll take a break", and fell asleep.

"Well, go to sleep."

Ye Qiufeng raised his hand and called for the official servant, and heard the three assistant officials of the Shibo Supervisor.

In the old days when the Great Order became the lord of the country, Liang Nanling and Ying Wenjun were a little confused, but also a little happy. When they heard about it, they trotted to the inner hall immediately.

"Da Ling is now a maharaja, it's unbelievable." Ying Wenjun sighed.

"Hush, keep your voice down," Ye Qiufeng gestured, Hua Muyu was sleeping, so don't disturb her to rest:

"Because the concept of 'scholars, farmers, and businessmen' is hard to change, there is a shortage of good businessmen, and the prison is temporarily empty. Let the three in charge of the prison, I heard that salt is more expensive in my country, and the salt I produce is sprinkled with the salt planting method of the Han Dynasty. It was made by stewing, and sent people to Quanzhou to see if there is any possibility of opening a salt field together with the salt supervisor under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple. Quanzhou is the closest to Liuqiu in a straight line. By the way, the original shipyard in Quanzhou was restructured, repaired and expanded A new Quanzhou shipyard was added to directly connect to Liuqiu, but Liuqiu is sparsely populated, and people were brought there to mine Jinguashi and transport them back.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ye Qiufeng glanced down at Hua Muyu's sleeping face, then at the couch, thinking about arranging for someone to change the couch into a bed, because she came here every time to sleep.

"It's rare for her Highness to relax, the two of you try to arrange the things at hand, and accompany His Highness to walk around and have fun."

"When will you be sent as an envoy to Zhou?" Liang Nanling asked.

Ye Qiufeng lowered his voice and answered almost by mouth:

"After tonight, at the beginning of Mao (5 o'clock)," paused, then resumed his voice:

"Walk and play with her more for me."

……

With the experience of last time, this time Hua Muyu didn't sleep all night. When Ye Qiufeng thought she had fallen asleep and woke up quietly, when he looked back at her, she had already opened her eyelids:

"Want to leave without saying goodbye?"

"Where is it that you leave without saying goodbye, you know when I will leave," you hugged her lightly in your arms, and lowered your eyes to look at her hair. There are still more than a dozen silver strands. It seems that even if she doesn't enter the inner palace, she Still heavy-hearted:

"Mu Yu, it's been a long time since I said I like you, I like you so much, it's great to be able to hold you like this."

"I'm with you..."

"no!!"

Hua Muyu's ears were hurt by the sudden yelling, and she raised her hand and tightened her waist:

"I'm almost deaf, you guy, you've become more courageous now that you're in the top position, you dare to yell at me."

"Hey, I'll just go. I'll ask Liang Zi and the others to take you around. Juzhang not only has grilled fish for boating, but also delicious food. I don't know if you'll like it, but it's good to try."

Hua Muyu broke away from her embrace slightly, staring at her, Ye Qiufeng showed a relaxed smile, and kissed her lightly:

"It's time for me to go, don't think about it, I will never lie to you, I promise you to grow old together, and I will grow old with you forever."

……

It was still night overhead, and Ye Qiufeng rode his horse to Ninghai Bay. A delicate and elegant boat that was obviously not made by Yue State was moored on the shore, and Feng Kedao stood on the boat.

This boat seems to be built for fun, but to Ye Qiufeng, the exquisite pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings on it are useless, although they are exquisite, it is better to dismantle them so that they can carry more cargo.

"I didn't expect it to be you." Staring at Ye Qiufeng's thorn-gold robe, Feng Kedao smiled calmly.

"Elder Ge, in your opinion, is this a chaotic world?"

After the boat sailed slowly eastward, the two stood on the second floor of the pavilion, looking at the dark night, Ye Qiufeng turned to ask.

"Well, in troubled times, it's a mess. If you enrich the people of Zhou, you will suffer the people of other countries, but each is his own master, so what can we do?"

Feng Kedao took out the guest dental plaque of the Yue Kingdom from his breast pocket, and his dental plaque had recorded——

Surnamed Feng Shou, born in Jiaxing, working as a worker, recorded on April 64rd in the [-]th year of the State of Yue (the second year of Guangxian).

"Is Yue's rice delicious?" Ye Qiufeng asked.

"It's delicious, and it's much cheaper than Zhou's. But Zhou is short of copper, and overseas business is still in its infancy. I can't follow your example of Yue and encourage Nongsang with money." Feng Kedao paused, and continued:

"Earlier, you asked me about my surrender to Khitan. At that time, I didn't hate Khitan. Instead, I hated the previous dynasty that was overthrown by Khitan. When I recorded this guest in Jiaxing, I heard that there were many tax and rent lists in Wu, but I was not surprised. , the previous dynasty, which was overthrown by Khitan, was even worse than today's Wu State. Have you ever heard of the nail-pull tax? Complain to the lord, and you will be charged for the tax. The lord is angry and wants to collect the fire tax. In times of turmoil, they searched endlessly, and killed if they handed over, and killed more if they didn't hand over."

"If you Zhou Guo didn't ask for this huge annual tribute, Wu Guo wouldn't be like this." Ye Qiufeng said bluntly.

"No way, if you want to enrich the people of Zhou, you can only suffer from the people of other countries."

"Your Majesty has two sons, who are only three or four years old. The Lord of the Kingdom of Wu had two sons, but the youngest son died young. Du Miao was only two years old. Looking at it this way, I still have descendants. My eldest son is nine years old, and my second son is seven years old. The young girl is six years old."

"If the turmoil continues, people will almost die, and their heirs will be returned. Since the fall of the Communist Party 300 years ago, there are ten million and forty million people, and there are only less than 4000 million people left. When your country was usurped five years ago, Your Majesty When he returned home, there were corpses all over the place, and the heads were scattered everywhere, only His Majesty and the former Emperor survived."

Chattering here and there to pass the time spent on the ferry, the boat sailed out of the sea, but instead of heading north, it turned south.

"Qingyuan Town originally belonged to Chen Jichuan. Chen Jichuan and his ten thousand remnants have returned to the coast of Quanzhou, but they are still on board. Return the Qingyuan Town seal letter, apologize in the name of the lord, write a letter to the world, and save my dignity. Your Majesty is furious at such a critical juncture that you can avoid meeting me in battle with Da Zhou."

……

The scorching sun at noon was very hot, and when the ferry approached the coast of Quanzhou, ten ships were floating near the coast, and the shore was confronted by densely packed brave troops.

"The brave army obeys the order and retreats." Ye Qiufeng ordered after landing on the shore.

When the ten ships docked, an old man in his 60s and [-]s glared at Ye Qiufeng angrily. Ye Qiufeng was afraid that he would kill him from anger.

"Bold and lunatic, dare to lead troops to encroach on the states of the Great Zhou Kingdom! Give me back the seal!" Someone backed him up, but he was so arrogant.

Xiao Wenshan led several generals to stand beside Ye Qiufeng, seeing how arrogant he was without soldiers or horses, they all wanted to give him some flair.

"Where's the seal? Give it to me." Ye Qiufeng asked Xiao Wenshan.

"Ah? Do you really want to pay him back?"

"Just give it to me, and we'll talk about other things later."

Xiao Wenshan was a little helpless, he could only send an order to ask someone to bring the seal.

The sealed letter is the six-party seal, and it is not half the size of her Wang Xi. After the dead old man took a plate of sealed letters wrapped in red cloth, he opened it with a red face and inspected it carefully. Then he glared angrily and said to Ye Qiufeng :

"Er Yue Kingdom dared to offend Longyan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Today, I, Chen Jichuan, acting as the emperor, accept your kneeling apology!"

"You're looking for death!" Xiao Wenshan immediately became angry.

"The fox pretends to be the tiger, and the rat loses the enemy. If you can't fight on the battlefield, you will move to the mountains. It's really embarrassing for your ancestors!"

One after another, the sound of abuse was endless, and the noisy people had a headache.

Ye Qiufeng knew that Zhou Guo just wanted to save face, but his knees weakened in front of the brave army, which would hurt morale.

"Please move forward. After writing the letter of apology, I will accept all your requests."

Feng Kedao led the way until Quanzhou Prefecture. After closing the door, there was one person from each of the three parties.

Ye Qiufeng picked up a pen and wrote hundreds of words eloquently. He regarded the number of words and the words as sincere and sincere. After stamping with the golden seal of the king who was wearing with him, he bent down and bowed deeply, and presented it with both hands.

"Kneel and submit." Chen Jichuan smiled sarcastically in his anger.

Ye Qiufeng took a step back, took a deep breath, and thought that this kneeling would bring a lot of practical benefits, so kneel down.

His knees softened, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Jichuan immediately burst into laughter.
