The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

The Yuze mission was about to return to Yuze, and the issues that the two had been avoiding to discuss were finally unavoidable. +++ Catino Novel Network www.wuxiaspot.com

"I went to Yuze with Huairuyu, and brought five hundred elites and newly developed firearms with me. It should be safe."

Although Xiao Zhige hadn't said clearly these few days, seeing him awake at night these days, An Changqing had already guessed his decision.

Xiao Zhige was really silent, staring at him with deep eyes, and slowly said: "You must go on Yuze's trip, but you can't go alone. I'll be with you."

An Changqing frowned and did not agree: "If you go too, who will deal with all the political affairs? In case of trouble, the distant water will not be able to save the nearby fire."

"I have a proper method for all of these." Xiao Zhige raised his hand and said in a low voice: "If you don't go to Yuze, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the next few decades. But if you let you go alone, I will not Don't worry. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and only if I go with you can I have both.

Seeing An Changqing seemed to have something to say, he raised his hand to hold his lips and continued: "I know your worries. But everything above the court has established regulations. Wen You Ji Anmin and others, Wu There is Qi Wei Tiehu. This year's year is good, there should be no natural disasters. I will not be in trouble for a few months."

He finished speaking, and An Changqing's persuasive words were all blocked back, and she had no choice but to say: "These days you don't sleep at night, so are you thinking about this?"

"Ok."

Xiao Zhige sat down on the couch, pulled him into his arms and hugged him, buried his head on the back of his neck, sighed, and said in a low voice, "I thought about it for a long time, but after all, I didn't feel relieved."

If you put a person in a place out of his reach, let alone dealing with political affairs, he is afraid that he will really have to sleep and eat.

An Changqing is his life, he can lose everything, but he can't be lost.

The wet (kiss wen) was printed on the back of the neck, and Xiao Zhige said ruthlessly: "You can fight again if the country is gone, but if it's you..."

He was unlucky about the latter words, and he refused to finish. He only took a bite on the back of his neck, leaving a clear bite mark, and said: "I will go together on this trip, and I will arrange things in the middle of the morning."

He was so determined that An Changqing stopped talking and could only respond.

The day before Yuze set off, Xiao Zhige invited Huai Ruyu into the palace. When Huai Ruyu heard that An Changqing agreed to go to Yuze, he had an unsurprising expression. It was not until I heard that Xiao Zhige had to go with him, and asked him to stay in Yejing for another half a month, only then (exposed) the surprise (color).

Then he took it for granted. He has heard a lot of the deeds of the two of them these days, and it is inevitable that he will feel exaggerated and not really touched.

Only at this moment did he feel a touch. The feelings between the two are really enviable. If his grandfather could have half of Xiao Zhige's responsibility and sincerity, the Yuze royal family would not have fallen here.

The three negotiated, and the Yuze mission stayed in Yejing for another half a month, while Xiao Zhige and An Changqing set about preparing for the long journey.

Xiao Zhige first summoned Ji Anmin, Zhou Helan, Qi Wei and other confidantes into the palace.

When Ji Anmin heard that he was going to Yuze with An Changqing, he naturally disagreed.

However, Xiao Zhige has always been a king with an idea. He didn't talk about the scorpion clan, but he revealed that this action was related to the safety of King Goose, and he was determined.

Ji Anmin looked at him, and he was more determined than when he was in Yanzhou. He knew that persuasion was useless, so he was speechless and said: "The minister understands, follow your majesty's arrangement."

Xiao Zhige nodded with satisfaction, and arranged them one by one: "When I am not in Yejing, I will stop in the early dynasty, and all matters in the DPRK will be jointly discussed and handled by the doctor, Taifusiqing, Dalisiqing, and Taifusicheng. Tomorrow morning, We will announce this at the time and order the courtiers to submit the zhezi to the Piandian of Chongzheng Hall. You and others will handle government affairs in the Piandian every day. I will hand over three blank imperial decree to Han Zhang for safekeeping. The four of you can go to Han Zhang to take the imperial decree together. All the patrols in Yejing are handed over to the horse Cai Cong, and the 30,000 horses outside the city are led by Qi Wei and Tiehu. In case someone takes the opportunity to cause chaos, you can go and ask for help... …"

He arranges them one by one, everything is not big or small. The four of them disagree with this again. When he finished speaking, he took the order. Han Zhang was ordered to send them away, and when Zhou Helan passed by his side, he gave him a look.

Zhou Helan understood, and walked with the other three to the gate of the palace, and turned back while the others were not paying attention.

In front of the door of the temple, Han Zhang really waited, and when he saw him coming, he bowed and led him in.

Xiao Zhige and An Changqing were still waiting inside.

Zhou Helan bowed: "Your Majesty and the prince still have something to order?"

An Changqing called him up and said: "Your Majesty just talked about national affairs, but what I want to tell you now is family affairs."

He briefly told him about the tomb of the mackerel, and said bluntly: "We have no way of knowing what happened to the tomb of the mackerel. Just in case, we will entrust the funeral to you before leaving."

"Since you are engaged to Xianyu, you are the An family. Princess Prince is still young. In case my Majesty and I cannot return, after half a year, you will support the prince as a minister to the throne with the will of the will. I will stay. If you have an accident, you can mobilize the big camp outside the city and the Yanzhou people..."

They obviously arranged for the two children more comprehensively than before. Zhou Helan became more frightened as he listened, kneeling and leaning over and said: "Helan will definitely live up to his trust. His Majesty Wangwang and the prince take care of themselves, so that the ministers will never have the opportunity to show their will."

An Changqing handed over the will written in advance to him, saying: "Don't worry too much, this is just in case."

Zhou Helan took the imperial decree and planned with them for a long while before leaving the palace again.

***

When many things are arranged in the DPRK, the half-month period has come. Although many ministers in the DPRK opposed Xiao Zhige's personal danger, they were already unable to recover. Yuze's trip is scheduled for July 19th.

Xiao Zhige's visit to Yuze was not publicized, but Yejing couldn't help but conceal the movement of manpower. Well-informed people know about it.

The day before An Changqing and the others set off, Xue Wuyi came to say goodbye.

Xue Wuyi stayed in Yejing for half a year. Within half a year, the situation in the west dung changed. First, the general Huo Zheng murdered the queen mother, who held the west dung king in control of the government, and then used the hand of the west dung king to cleanse the opposition. His courtier. Soon thereafter, the royal family of the West Dung fought against Huo Zheng under the banner of punishing the chaotic party, and both sides had their own victories.

When the West Dung Dynasty was surging, the West Dung tribe took advantage of the situation, and under the leadership of the new West Dung Patriarch, they brazenly entered Zaiguo fearlessly (killing sha). Nearly fifteen-year-old King Xiu died in the melee. The uprising Xihu tribe occupied Zaiguo, and the clan chief of the Xiguo became king in the court of Zaiguo.

Only then did the whole nation know that the patriarch of the West Dung was actually the former leader of Shangque by the Northern Guards.

He said that the first thing the queen did was to abolish the law that the Xihu tribe, which had lasted for hundreds of years in Xihu, was free to buy and sell by the inferior people.

Shang Que became the new king of the West Dung, and the West Dung court forces were also purged. Only Xue Wuyi's position as prime minister remained. The West Dung Mission, which had been stranded in Yejing for half a year, was finally recalled to Zaiguo.

At the tenth of the seventh day of the month, except for Xue Wuyi and the two dissident envoys, everyone else had set off for Zaiguo.

Calculating the time, Zaiguo was almost back at this time.

An Changqing said: "Shang Que became king, are you serious about not going back?"

"I won't go back." Xue Wuyi covered his mouth and coughed lowly, then retracted the blood-stained veil into his sleeve.

"I wrote a letter for someone to send it back. I promised that I will still do the numbers."

An Changqing nodded: "Then where are you going? You are not in good health. It is better to stay in Yejing to recuperate, so as not to run around and tired."

Xue Wuyi coughed again, and put his cloak together and said: "I won't go back, he will definitely send someone to pick him up again. I have run out of time, it is better not to see each other. I told him in my letter that I am the same. Jixue travels around the world, and when she gets tired, she will go back."

In the July sky, he was wrapped in a thick cloak but his face (color) was still pale and his lips were black and blue. An Changqing looked at him and sighed, "Then take care."

"Farewell today, maybe I won't see you again, you also take care." Xue Wuyi raised his hand and then slowly turned and left.

Even though he was extremely ill, he still refused to show a trace of frailty, and his posture was always straight like a green bamboo. Ji Xue, who didn't say a word, followed behind him, and the two slowly walked out of An Changqing's sight.

July 19th in the first year of Changshun.

The men and horses of Daye went out of the city together with the Yuze mission, with great momentum. After they left, a humble carriage followed out of the city and drove in the opposite direction.

***

Yejing and Fuliang are far apart, one north and one south. Coupled with the fact that many horses and carriages slowed down the trip, it was already mid-August when they arrived at Fuliang, the capital of Yuze State.

August is when the heat is hot, especially in the South. The inside of the carriage was suffocating and sweltering, and An Changqing did not want to stay in the carriage anymore, (dry gan) riding a horse and walking side by side with Xiao Zhige.

Seeing him wiping his sweat, Huai Ruyu pointed to a city not far away and said, "There is a floating beam. There is ice mirror in the palace, and it won't be so hot afterwards."

After a month of getting along on the road, the relationship between the two parties (guanguan) is no longer unfamiliar at the beginning. Although An Changqing still can't treat him as a cousin, he gets along peacefully. He raised his hand to set up a pergola in front of his forehead and said, "Rainze is hotter than I thought."

Huai Ruyu said, "Fuliang is not facing the sea. If you go further south and reach the South Sea with sea breeze blowing, it will not be so hot."

An Changqing looked around, although after entering Yuze, she had already seen a lot of Yuze style. But goodbye still feels novel. Because of the hot climate without winter, Yuze is grilled by golden crows all the year round. Therefore, most of the people in Yuze have dark skin (color), and they are also very bold and unrestrained. He thought that Daye was already a place open to the people, but when it came to Yuze, he knew that there were mountains outside the mountains.

However, although Yuze is open to the people, he is in awe of the royal family. Wherever they went, the people knelt to greet each other.

When Huai Ruyu saw his eyes scan the kneeling people, he voluntarily explained: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, Yuze was still a barren land. Both men and women were undressed and could not afford to eat. Later, the king brought food and seeds. , Teaching the people to plant crops, go fishing... only then have the richness they are today. They are grateful for the enlightenment of the ancestors and respect the royal family. Nowadays, there are many statues of the ancestors in Fuliang, cast by the people for worship.

An Changqing did not expect this story, and said in surprise: "The first king Yuze is a man with people in his heart."

Then Huai Ruyu shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "This may not be true. The manpower and material resources to build the tomb of the Yuze people are all derived from the people of Yuze."

The tomb of the Maidens is on the sea, and the human and financial resources for its construction are inestimable. Now that hundreds of years have passed, no one can tell whether the first Wang Huai Shu'an was to build the tomb of the Yuren to teach the people, or is it really just a love for the people.
