Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing

After going through a series of tedious founding procedures, the political affairs gradually got on the right track. Although after more than ten years of melee, the Liang country is now devastated and there are still many things to do, but those have nothing to do with Qi Zhongyu.

Qi Zhongyu still remembered the promise he made to Lu Dongfu at the beginning, so not long after Jiang Xingwu ascended the throne, he proposed to resign and travel far away.

Helpless, Jiang Xingwu tried his best to persuade her to stay in Yanjing, saying that she had been fighting for years and had not recovered from her serious injuries, so it was really not suitable for her to travel far away with a woman who was powerless.

What's more, Qi Zhongyu fought for more than ten years before, with countless lives in his hands, and made many powerful enemies. He didn't want to see something happen to her.

He also mentioned that the world has just been stabilized not long ago, and there are still many forces secretly ready to move. Whether it is Jiang Xingwu or the newly established Daliang Kingdom, they all need Qi Zhongyu, the evil star of war, to guard the country's stability.

Qi Zhongyu felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and his internal injuries were indeed unhealed. On the surface, he looked normal, but in fact it would take three to five years of good health before he could fully recover.

Moreover, she did not allow ghosts and monsters to come out to covet the fruits of victory after finally defeating the country.

Anyway, I just stayed in Yanjing for a while, and went back to explain it to Lu Dongfu, and the other party would definitely understand her decision.

Sure enough, after she finished talking to Lu Dongfu, Lu Dongfu smiled and said, "I understand that your husband's body is the most important thing. In fact, it doesn't matter if you stay there. I just want to be with him. And, We have our relatives and friends here in Yanjing, and we can settle down here."

Hearing this, Qi Zhongyu pinched her jade-white cheek with a smile, and said, "My lady is so kind."

So, she lived in Yanjing with peace of mind.

After she was made the Duke of Ding, Jiang Xingwu specially gave her a new courtyard close to the imperial palace. This courtyard occupies a very large area and is extremely luxuriously built.

However, both Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu didn't like ordering servants around, so only the two of them lived in the huge courtyard.

Fortunately, they were on Yuenan Mountain before, and they also enjoyed the deep mountains and old forests that stretched thousands of miles to themselves, so they would not feel lonely living here.

What's more, Qi Changle's family lived next door to her. Because the Qi family had made outstanding contributions in the war, all the male members of the Qi family, from Qi Changle to Qi Anhao, were all given official positions.

Not only that, Luo Zhenhai was also appointed as an official, but the official position was neither high nor low, so the courtyard where he lived was relatively far away.

But they are all in Yanjing City, and Qi Zhongyu has nothing to do, so he will visit when he is free. Not to mention how leisurely his life is, it makes the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty envious.

Now in the whole world, no one knows who doesn't know the emperor's favor and trust in Ding Guogong, his righteous brother.

Because Duke Ding didn't want to get up in the morning, he went fishing for three days and dried his nets for two days, and even the morning court depended on her mood.

Not only did the emperor not punish her, but he simply spared the other party's early court. Even the emperor's own son did not receive such treatment.

Every now and then, the emperor would call the princes into the palace, sit face to face, and enjoy all kinds of delicacies prepared by the imperial dining room.

This is an honor that others can't ask for. It is said that even if Empress Shi wants to have a meal with the emperor, it depends on the emperor's arrangement.

However, Ding Guogong acted willfully and recklessly, and said that the food in the imperial dining room was not to his taste, so he asked the emperor to go out of the palace in disguise and go to Ding Guogong's mansion for dinner with her.

This is really...

Everyone was jealous with jealousy, and thought sourly: the emperor is the king of a country after all, this favor will not last long, and then it will be the time for Duke Ding to suffer.

However, they waited and waited, and the flowers they were waiting for faded and the trees turned yellow. They never waited for such an opportunity.

When they mentioned Ding Guogong on weekdays, either the other party was arrogant and domineering in Yanjing again; or the other party took Ding Guogong's wife to travel around again, and the emperor sent someone to look for it; or...

In short, the envy of the dead.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed,

The foundation of Liang State became more and more stable, Jiang Xingwu no longer had to worry about the future, Qi Zhongyu also took Lu Dongfu to play all the sites near Yanjing.

To be honest, after Yanjing became a royal city, it has changed with each passing day, and it has become more and more lively than before.

People with lofty ideals and rare treasures from all over the country spontaneously gather in the royal city, and interesting shops open every day, so that Qi Zhongyu will never feel bored.

However, she still didn't like the atmosphere in Yanjing, so when she felt it was almost time to leave, she entered the palace again and told Jiang Xingwu about resigning from office and traveling far away.

Jiang Xingwu is in a high position, and his aura is quite different from before, especially when he is frowning and stern, he is even more majestic and domineering, his eyes are so contemptuous that people dare not look directly at him.

However, Qi Zhongyu didn't feel scared at all, and sat lazily on the stool, just like when he was fighting and deliberating.

Jiang Xingwu: ...

He himself began to wonder if he had spoiled this seventh brother, why the other party still wanted to resign with all his rewards?

He shook his head helplessly, and said, "Seventh brother, have you recovered from your injuries?"

When there are no outsiders present, the two still use their previous address, and Jiang Xingwu will not call himself "Zhen". It is rare that he can relax and return to his original self.

Qi Zhongyu groaned, and took a sip of the juice, which Jiang Xingwu specially ordered the imperial dining room to prepare for her. It tasted very good, and she had to drink a few cups every time she came, until her stomach was full before leaving the palace.She said: "It's not perfect yet, but idlers can't get close to me, not to mention that I was unkempt when I was fighting, and most people don't know my exact appearance, so fifth brother don't worry, I will be fine."

Jiang Xingwu smiled, but ordered the eunuchs around him to call some imperial doctors to come in and diagnose her pulse himself.

Qi Zhongyu stretched out his hand, with a white and slender wrist, which made the imperial doctors murmur in their hearts. It was hard to imagine how the other party could slaughter thousands of troops and win the title of evil star war god with such a hand.

After they checked the pulse, they all said that Qi Zhongyu's body was fine, but he couldn't get angry in the future, so as to keep him alive and well, so that the root cause of the disease would not be left.

When Jiang Xingwu heard the words, he didn't let them retreat immediately, but said: "Dongguo has not had any heirs until today, what is the reason? Is there a cure?"

The imperial doctor frowned in embarrassment, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Ding Guogong's pulse condition looks the same as that of ordinary people, but since Ding Guogong was poisoned in his body in the early years, it is normal for him to hinder his heirs. After all, for thousands of years, only Duke Ding was able to survive the severe poison in his body. The ministers will try their best to research the prescription to cure the poison on Duke Ding. Maybe when the poison is cured, Ding The Duke will be able to give birth to an heir."

Jiang Xingwu glanced at Qi Zhongyu, who was obediently drinking the juice, the other party never even blinked his eyes, and he was angry and helpless with a look of virtue that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

However, I have to say that deep down in his heart, he was actually relieved.

He waved his hand to make the imperial doctors retreat, and said to Qi Zhongyu: "Seventh brother, you heard what the imperial doctors said, right?"

Qi Zhongyu nodded and said, "Fifth Brother, you don't have to worry about my heirs. I have long accepted the fact that I am barren, and there are no children to drag me down. The world between me and my wife is pretty good."

Jiang Xingwu: ...

He frowned, and said: "But passing on the family line is a major event in life, not to mention that you, the Duke of Ding, must pass on to future generations."

Qi Zhongyu looked at him and said helplessly, "Fifth brother, you should enjoy yourself while you are alive. And I really don't want to be an official, so it's fine if no one inherits the title. The reason why I decided to fight everywhere at the beginning was just to let the world Taiping, the people should not be as miserable and helpless as I was back then. Now that the fifth brother is the emperor, he governs the world very well. I see this in my eyes. The fifth brother has worked hard this year, please take care of yourself overworked."

There was a warm current in Jiang Xingwu's heart, he lowered his eyes, wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

I can only sigh and say: "I know, but you

Stay in Yanjing for a while longer, and wait until the Chinese New Year is over before leaving. "

Qi Zhongyu responded with a smile, stood up happily and said goodbye to Jiang Xingwu, then walked briskly towards the door.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the guard outside the door, and felt that Jiang Xingwu looked a little familiar to him. She had already walked a certain distance, then turned back, pinched her chin and stared at the young man for a long time, and then went into the hall again. Xing Wu whispered, "Fifth Brother, the guard outside the door looks familiar."

Jiang Xingwu thought she had something serious to do, but she didn't expect this to be what she said.

He couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "That's my nephew. I found it secretly a few days ago. Only a few people know his identity."

Qi Zhongyu widened his eyes and said, "You found him, how did you do it? We spent so much time but couldn't find any trace of him."

Jiang Xingwu smiled and said: "I have never changed my name and surname, and my nephew also knows my name, but after I became famous, most people couldn't see me. He entered the army and started as a soldier. , didn’t seize the opportunity until not long ago and risked his life to recognize me.”

Qi Zhongyu said with emotion: "He is a capable young man."

Jiang Xingwu nodded, agreeing with what she said.

In fact, there are many ways to recognize each other, but he chose the most difficult path, which is really rare.

Qi Zhongyu asked curiously again: "How can Fifth Brother be sure that this person is your nephew?"

Jiang Xingwu looked at her fixedly, making Qi Zhongyu uncomfortable. They all knew that Qi Zhongyu's identity was fabricated, and Qi Changgui's real son had died long ago, but Jiang Xingwu never exposed her identity, which made her I am very grateful.

Jiang Xingwu said: "Seventh brother, don't worry, I sent someone to find the Li family where my elder brother sold himself as a slave, and learned about the physical characteristics of my nephew from the Li family's servants. Although so many years have passed, the child has grown up Adults, but the mark on the body will not change. My nephew accidentally burned his arm when he was young, and the injury was serious, and the young man also had burn marks on his arm, not to mention his face..."

Qi Zhongyu suddenly said: "Yes, he looks very similar to Fifth Brother."

Back then, she was able to deceive the wise and shrewd Qi Changle, and this face similar to Mrs. Qi Changle also played a big role.

She sighed and said, "It's really a surprise. I didn't expect to meet again after more than 20 years."

She couldn't help thinking of the two things she was looking for when she was not married, but after so many years, she had forgotten them.

Now that Jiang Xingwu's nephew took the initiative to appear, it reminded Qi Zhongyu, she couldn't help but think of the gift Qi Changgui gave her son that she was also looking for back then, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Thank you fifth brother, I'm going to look for another thing too. "

After she finished speaking, she ran out like a gust of wind, without even hearing Jiang Xingwu's question.

Jiang Xingwu was very helpless towards her temper, shook his head and continued to approve the memorial, the eunuch on the side thought: It seems that Ding Guogong's position in the emperor's heart is far beyond his imagination, and he must please him more in the future , must not offend her.

After Qi Zhongyu left the palace, she arrived at Duke Dingguo's mansion within a few steps. After thinking about it, she went next door to find her second uncle, and talked about the sixteen-square Rubik's Cube that Qi Changgui left for her son back then.

Qi Changle was startled when he heard this, even after so many years, when he thinks of his brother and sister-in-law who died young, his heart still hurts.

He said: "Zhong Yu, do you want to find the [-]-square Rubik's Cube?"

That's easier said than done?

More than 30 years have passed, even if the Rubik's Cube was specially customized by Qi Changle from overseas, it should have been broken long ago.

But Qi Zhongyu is very sure that the Rubik's Cube is of high quality, although it looks ugly, it can definitely be preserved for hundreds of years, otherwise Qi Changle would not have put the priceless navigation chart in it.

Seeing her stubborn expression, Qi Changle smiled and said: "Forget it, it's different now, maybe we can find it, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly."

Qi Zhongyu was extremely convinced of his ability, and after having dinner in Qi's mansion, he went back to Duke Dingguo's mansion and waited in peace.

It didn't take long for Yanjing and even the entire Daqi Kingdom to spread the news that Duke Dingguo paid a lot of money to find the [-]-block Rubik's Cube.

At first, everyone thought that the sixteen-grid Rubik's Cube must be extraordinary, maybe it contained the secret of the treasure, otherwise why would Duke Ding spend a lot of money to find it.

It was later learned that the [-]-block Rubik's Cube was the last toy given to her by Ding Guogong's father before his death. Everyone was filled with emotion and stopped planning to explore the secret.

However, Duke Ding is willing to pay 10 taels for a simple 10-square Rubik's Cube, ah, [-] taels, if you find someone who is inferior and donates it to Duke Ding, you will be able to eat and wear it for the rest of your life, and even generations of descendants .

Therefore, there was a wave of collecting the [-]-square Rubik's Cube in Daliang Kingdom.

At the court meeting, there was also Yu Shi who took this opportunity to participate in Ding Guogong's book, and also turned over the old accounts before, as if she had too many books to write.

In the end, nothing happened to Qi Zhongyu, but the censor was deprived of his official position by the emperor's cold face, and then the ministers of the court fell silent again, confirming that Duke Ding is the untouchable Nilin in the emperor's heart, and must not be offended.

Not only that, but the emperor also raised the stakes, saying that anyone who can find the real sixteen-square Rubik's Cube can give a house in Yanjing.

That house is located next to the best Yingtian Academy in Yanjing, every inch of land is expensive, and it is not something that can be bought with money.

In ancient times, Meng's mother moved three times. If she could live next to an institution of higher learning, even the offspring would be educated in knowledge. Over time, she would certainly be able to change her family.

Now, everyone became more and more crazy. In just one month, the warehouse of Duke Dingguo's mansion was filled with [-]-block Rubik's Cube from all over the world.

Qi Zhongyu patiently inspected each Rubik's Cube carefully. Lu Dongfu couldn't bear her hard work alone, so she also offered to help her find it together.

After she learned the characteristics of the [-]-block Rubik's Cube from Qi Zhongyu, the two of them were busy for a few days, looking through all the Rubik's Cubes in the warehouse, but they couldn't find the one that Qi Changle gave to his son.

Qi Zhongyu rubbed his dry eyes, feeling a little hopeless in his heart, even though Lu Dongfu comforted her, she was listless.

Until Shen Jiashun, the sixth elder brother who was righteously married to Jinlan, came to visit in person with a gift box. Qi Zhongyu was not familiar with him at first, but because of his righteous brother's affection, he still entertained him in the main room.

Shen Jiashun is a shrewd and kind businessman, and he is used to seeing people's hearts. Seeing Qi Zhongyu's perfunctory attitude, he didn't show any strange expression, and still smiled and handed over the gift box in his hand.

Qi Zhongyu glanced at him and asked, "What is this?"

Shen Jiashun said: "I heard that Duke Ding was looking for a gift from his late father, and it happened that the Shen family also left a few Rubik's Cubes, so they specially brought them to Duke Ding to have a look."

Qi Zhongyu said: "You don't need to be so polite, just call me Seventh Brother."

However, Shen Jiashun did not nod his head. Everyone knows that the only person in the world who is qualified to call Qi Zhongyu "Seventh Brother" is the current Holy One.

Even though Qi Zhongyu is informal, the current Holy Majesty is not magnanimous.

The other party should have given all their patience to Qi Zhongyu, so he was as cold as ice to other people, even the concubine and son.

Qi Zhongyu opened the gift box, and there were indeed several [-]-grid Rubik's Cubes inside, each of which was simple in shape and seemed to be of a certain age.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief, she was fed up with a lot of Rubik's cubes that had just been made in the warehouse.

She took out one and checked it carefully, if it wasn't, she put it aside.

Next, no.

The next one is not.

Only the last one was left, and even Shen Jiashun, who was gentle on the surface, broke into a cold sweat in his heart, but Qi Zhongyu put it in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then raised his eyes and said: "Where did you get this Rubik's Cube?" of?"

The original sixteen-square Rubik's Cube disappeared together with the real "Qi Zhongyu". Qi Changle has been searching for it for more than ten years but has not found it.

Why did the Shen family own it? Could it be that Qi Changle's catastrophe was also related to the wealthy Shen family in Lingnan Road?

Shen Jiashun was stared at by her sharp eyes, and his back was covered in cold sweat. He finally understood why Qi Zhongyu, who looked lazy and had a face like a boy, was feared by the enemy and became a god of war. When she heard her name, she was terrified.

It was really terrifying, as if being targeted by a ferocious beast.

Sweat welled up on his forehead, and he said nervously, "It was Han Yuliang who sent it for the younger generation at home to play with." Han Yuliang.

Qi Zhongyu snorted coldly, Han Yuliang was also the murderer who framed Qi Changle back then, and Qi Changle had secretly planned to exterminate the Han family long ago.

She stared at Shen Jiashun for a long time, and then said: "That's right, this is the sixteen-square Rubik's Cube that my father gave me back then. You wait here for a while, and I'll go to the warehouse to get you a silver ticket."

Shen Jiashun swallowed, feeling mixed with excitement and fear. For the future of the Shen family, he plucked up his courage and said: "Wait, Shen doesn't want a banknote, but just wants to invite Duke Ding to go to the emperor to replace him." Say a few good words to the Shen family and let the Shen family live."

Back then, the Shen family immediately surrendered to Jiang Xingwu, and successively donated millions of taels of silver.

Originally thought that Jiang Xingwu could be reused, but unexpectedly, he ended up being suppressed and guarded against.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xingwu is the emperor, how can he allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch, and his kindness to Qi Zhongyu is not a kind of control.

The Shen family's wealth has long been tabooed by Jiang Xingwu.

During this year, facing the suppression of Jiang Xingwu, who is already the emperor, they have quickly declined.

Knowing that Qi Zhongyu paid a lot of money to find the [-]-square Rubik's Cube, they seized this opportunity.

The cause of Qi Changle's death back then was actually well known to the top wealthy businessmen in Lingnan Road, and some even searched the Qi Mansion in person, but found nothing.

Afterwards, the families that did the fighting fell one after another, and no one was spared. Even if the Shen family recalled the incident afterwards, they would still feel terrified.

After learning that Qi Zhongyu is Qi Changle's son, they were even more fortunate.

This sixteen-square Rubik's Cube was specially found by them, and it is very likely that it is the one Qi Zhongyu was looking for. Facts have proved that they are lucky. It seems that God is willing to give the Shen family another chance.

Qi Zhongyu played with the Rubik's cube in his hand, and said: "I see, I will go to the palace and explain this to the emperor."

Shen Jiashun: ...

Did you enter the palace as soon as you said you entered the palace?Only Ding Guogong has such qualifications.

He said: "Then Shen will not bother you anymore, and I will leave now."

Qi Zhongyu nodded, and left Dingguo Mansion with him, and the two walked in diametrically opposite directions.

Qi Zhongyu entered the palace without a token, just by brushing his face. The eunuchs and guards were guarding outside the main hall, and inside the hall were the emperor and the court ministers who were discussing political affairs.

The emperor's expression was cloudy and uncertain. It seemed that he must have encountered a big problem. The other ministers all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Qi Zhongyu took a glance and found that Lu Yanqing was also among them, but thinking about it, the other party was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, ranking first among the six departments, and shouldering extraordinary responsibilities in the peaceful and prosperous age, so naturally he had to deal with Dingguo, who only knew how to fight. The public is different.

She just walked in, the footsteps attracted everyone's attention, Jiang Xingwu looked at her, his face looked a little better, and asked in a gentle tone: "Seventh brother is here, why are you free to come to the palace today?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the civil and military ministers present all changed. They never expected that the emperor would treat Duke Ding so favorably.

Qi Zhongyu seemed to be accustomed to such an attitude, and said, "Fifth Brother, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Xingwu paused and signaled everyone to retreat, but he didn't say anything to let the ministers leave the palace, so the ministers could only stand under the sun and bask in the sun.

Because the distance was too far, they couldn't hear what the emperor and Ding Guogong were talking about, but they felt very sad in their hearts.

Much speculation has already passed.

Qi Zhongyu glanced at them and said, "Fifth brother, is something wrong?"

Jiang Xingwu sighed and said, "Qin Tianjian predicts that there will be a drought in the coming year, and I am worried that the disaster that happened in the 41st year of Xuan'an will happen."

Qi Zhongyu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Brother, the Liang Kingdom is completely different from the Great Qi Kingdom. Even if a natural disaster occurs, the imperial court will come forward to resettle the people, and the same mistakes will not happen again."

Jiang Xingwu smiled, his expression relaxed a little, and he sat on the dragon chair and asked, "So, what's the matter for you to enter the palace? In the past, even if I announced you to the palace, you wouldn't come."

Qi Zhongyu touched her nose in embarrassment, she stretched out her hand, showed Jiang Xingwu the sixteen-square Rubik's Cube in her hand, and said, "I found it, it was a gift from Qi Changle to his own son back then."

Jiang Xingwu was stunned for a moment, then raised his forehead and said: "So that's the case, did you enter the palace because of this? I still remember that a house was rewarded, and the title deed is kept with the eunuch. You can take it back later."

Qi Zhongyu said: "Fifth brother, it's not that simple, back then..."

She lowered her head and talked about Qi Changle's past, her fingers were still clumsily twisting the [-]-block Rubik's Cube.

Before Qi Changle died that year, he told her the formula to open the inner space of the [-]-block Rubik's Cube. After so many years, she still remembers it clearly.

It's just that the feeling of actually getting the real thing is different, so she moves very slowly. Fortunately, she can't stop talking, so Jiang Xingwu can be patient and watch her clumsy movements.

When she finished speaking, the [-]-block Rubik's Cube was completely opened, with a "click", revealing the narrow space inside, and a bead was hidden inside.

She crushed the beads with bare hands, dusted the crumbs on the ground, took out the map inside and handed it to Jiang Xingwu, saying, "Here, this is the priceless nautical chart, fifth brother, I give it to you."

When she said this, she focused her eyes on the [-]-block Rubik's Cube. After Jiang Xingwu took it, she restored the [-]-block Rubik's Cube and planned to take it back and bury it in front of the tomb of Qi Changle's family to fulfill the promise she made back then. .

Jiang Xingwu was very speechless about her behavior of buying a basket and returning pearls. He carefully studied the nautical chart for a long time, and asked, "Can this map really reach Japan, Dashi, Tianzhu, and even Europa?"

Qi Zhongyu nodded, and said: "Qi Changle personally verified it back then, and he led the fleet to Tianzhu smoothly. Due to the opinions of the crew, he had to turn back here. Fifth brother, you are the Ninth Five Lord, and you can definitely send a fleet Go and test it yourself."

Jiang Xingwu is well-informed and has traveled all over the world, so he knows the value of this nautical chart.

He was silent for a long time, and said: "You just gave me the nautical chart?"

Qi Zhongyu didn't understand what he meant, and thought he didn't understand the value of this nautical chart, so he hurriedly said, "Fifth brother, don't underestimate this nautical chart."

Although Qi Zhongyu didn't study well in modern times, he also knew the harm brought by seclusion in history.

After living in a different world for more than 20 years, she also realized that there are many similarities between the different world and the earth.

She rubbed her brows and thought about it carefully, and said stammeringly: "It is said that in the distant continent Europa, there are gold, silver and jewels everywhere, and different food crops grow, many of which are extremely high-yielding. Fifth brother can send someone to go there Inquiring about this information and bringing it back to Daliang country for planting may solve the food crisis that has plagued everyone for thousands of years."

As she spoke, she mentioned two delicious and high-yield crops, namely sweet potatoes and corn, which are not available in Daqi.

Jiang Xingwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "That's just a lie made up in the scriptures, how could there be such food crops?"

Qi Zhongyu was very sure, and said, "Fifth brother, these two kinds of crops really exist, you must pay attention to this matter."

She was worried that Jiang Xingwu would not take it seriously, so she thought about it and said, "Well, I will donate nine-tenths of the property in the warehouse, and ask Fifth Brother to set up a foreign economic and trade department. As for the salaries of officials, just Get it out of my salary, and..."

Jiang Xingwu's eyes moved, interrupting her eloquence, and said: "I see, I will take this matter seriously, and I will personally send a fleet to Europa, you should keep your money yourself. "

Qi Zhongyu shook his head and said, "I don't need that much."

Jiang Xingwu said: "You can't use that much, but what should your descendants do?"

Qi Zhongyu smiled, and said again: "Fifth brother, I really can't have children."

She lowered her eyes and said softly: "Besides, I have always been very clear about my identity and what I want. Wealth and glory are nothing to me. As long as I can eat enough and wear warm clothes, I will be very happy." gone."

Jiang Xingwu seemed to be persuaded by her, he sighed: "I see, I will arrange the fleet to go to Europa."

When Qi Zhongyu heard him talking about the fleet, he remembered Shen Jiashun's entrustment, and hurriedly explained that the [-]-square Rubik's Cube was sent by the Shen family, and persuaded him: "Fifth Brother, I don't understand political matters, but Shen Jiashun In the end, they have made great contributions to the Liang Kingdom, and they must not be chilled."

Jiang Xingwu stared at her for a long time, and responded helplessly.

Qi Zhongyu looked at him and said, "Fifth brother, you must be very embarrassed. The position of the emperor sounds supreme, but in fact there are many helplessness and hardships. Although I am far away from the government, I have also heard that some officials in the court , indulged in pleasure, forgot the original intention of the year, and even started to embezzle and break the law.”

"And these people are all heroes who fought with us in the past. Brother Wu endured them, but they don't know how to be grateful."

"Fifth Brother, I'm leaving Yanjing soon. Before I leave, I want to help you with one last favor."

Even Jiang Xingwu, who prided himself on being hard-hearted, couldn't help but have red eyes and was deeply moved. Everyone said that he trusted Duke Ding the most because he was worthy of the favor.

Qi Zhongyu mentioned a proposal, and Jiang Xingwu perfected it.

It didn't take long for the palace to hold a huge New Year's dinner, and all dignified officials in the court could participate in it.

At the dinner party, after drinking for three rounds, Qi Zhongyu took the initiative to hand over his military power to the emperor in front of the public.

The others woke up suddenly from the drunkenness, and looked at the emperor looking at Ding Guogong with approval in his eyes. After the two pretended to decline, the emperor took back the military power logically.

Only then did they realize that this was a Hongmen banquet.

They hated Qi Zhongyu to death in their hearts, but she, as the number one hero in the founding of the country, took the initiative to hand over power, if they cling to power, they will definitely be feared by the increasingly suspicious emperor.

Forced by the situation, they could only grit their teeth and keep up.

After this dinner, Jiang Xingwu took back most of his power without bloodshed, and became the real emperor with power all over the world. Others could no longer make waves.

Because of this matter, most of the upper-level officials in Yanjing did not have a good New Year, only Qi Zhongyu was still happy with his family.

After the new year, Qi Zhongyu went to the palace to bid farewell to Jiang Xingwu. She didn't know what to say at first, but later she opened up the chatterbox and told Jiang Xingwu to be a good emperor, don't listen to slander, don't value civility over martial arts, don't want……

Most importantly, don't get angry for others, it's not good to be angry.

Jiang Xingwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his eyes were moist. He patted her on the shoulder heavily and told her to pay attention to her body and return to Yanjing to have a look when she had time.

Qi Zhongyu nodded with a smile, and said, "Fifth Brother, I will help you manage the country later, and I will personally go to see your peaceful and prosperous times."

Jiang Xingwu responded with a sob, and watched a simple carriage gradually go away until it finally disappeared from sight.

After Qi Zhongyu left, he really became a loner.

He turned his head, looked at the resplendent palace, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, he became the ninety-five supreme being who pointed out the country again.

He swears that he will definitely become a good emperor in this life and let Daliang Kingdom

Haiyan, Heqing, Guotai Minan.

On the other side, the black steed Sirius, pulling an ordinary carriage, staggered away from Yanjing city gate and walked on the busy official road.

Lu Dongfu in the carriage opened the curtain and asked curiously, "Sir, where shall we go next?"

Qi Zhongyu was lazily lying on the cushion, and there was still the pastry that Lu Dongfu made this morning on the small table in hand. She twisted a piece and ate it, and said vaguely: "Wherever I go, I will go wherever I go, anyway, the rest of my life It's all yours."

Lu Dongfu felt sweet in his heart, and looked at her with a smile.

Qi Zhongyu also hooked his lips into a slight smile, and realized that the lady was more and more like a mature woman, so good-looking that people couldn't take their eyes off.

Lu Dongfu was uncomfortable being stared at by her, turned her head away, and asked worriedly: "Why does my husband keep staring at me? Is it because I am getting old and have wrinkles on my face?"

In fact, she has been worried about this problem for a long time, because she is now nearly [-] years old, and she is no longer young.

But Qi Zhongyu, who was ten years older than her, still looked young, and this face had not changed since the day they got married.

She didn't even dare to imagine that in the future, if at that time her hair was gray and wrinkled, but Qi Zhongyu was still in full bloom, she might go crazy.

She murmured bitterly, "Master, you never grow old."

Qi Zhongyu couldn't help stretching out her hand and stroking her cheek. She didn't look in the mirror very often, but the touch of her skin was indeed the same as when she was a teenager.

She knew in her heart that this was the effect of that technique. Seeing Lu Dongfu's dejected expression, she slowly realized that all women love beauty, and Lu Dongfu is no exception.

She then suggested: "Then let's go to the Western Regions first, I will take you to see the snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain, and then find the mysterious sect back then, study their exercises carefully, and then create your own one that is safe and harmless to your body." The technique, after you practice, you can look as old as me."

When Lu Dongfu heard this, she looked at her with sparkling eyes, and asked happily, "Really?"

Qi Zhongyu nodded and said with a smile, "When did I ever lie to you?"

Lu Dongfu pursed her lips and smiled, that was never the case, as long as Qi Zhongyu made a serious promise, she would do her best to fulfill it.

However, she is almost 30 years old now, she still looks older than Qi Zhongyu, she pursed her lips, a little annoyed.

But Qi Zhongyu played with her finger, put it on his lips and kissed it, and said: "I like everything the lady looks like, and now she is mature and charming, and it fascinates me even more."

Lu Dongfu blushed at her sweet words, turned her head and looked out the window, ignoring her.

But there was a rustling sound behind her, and a cold hand touched her chest.

Her cheeks became even redder, and she whispered, "Sir, don't mess around, this is on the street."

Qi Zhongyu muttered: "In the carriage, others can't see it."

But she also knew that Lu Dongfu was thin-skinned, so she whistled to the outside world, and Sirius walked towards the path with horseshoes clattering.

She bit Lu Dongfu's earlobe, and said in a hoarse voice: "Miss, don't worry now, do you want to try the car?"

Lu Dongfu: ...

Sure enough, once Xianggong is free, he only thinks about that kind of thing in his mind, and he is full of tricks.

But she had nothing to do with the other party, she was allowed to do whatever she wanted, and finally tried a new trick that was embarrassing.

Outside the carriage, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the spring of the year is coming again. The future is like the road ahead, a smooth road, comfortable and bright.
