Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1930

The two of them walked inside with their lady.

Shi Anxia stood at the door and bowed, asking if she had disturbed the conversation between the emperor and Lord Zhuo.

Emperor Zhaowu smiled and let her in, saying that he just wanted to chat and was waiting for her.

Zhuo Qiran quickly stood up from his chair and said goodbye to Emperor Zhaowu and the princess one by one. When he passed by Beihui, he paused for a moment and performed a gentleman's formal etiquette.

Bei Hui smiled and knelt down to return the greeting. When she raised her eyes, she saw that his eyes were pale blue and his complexion was not very good. The color of his lips was also a little lighter than usual, which made his white hair look even whiter.

She thought that this man might not have slept well last night, so she thought about making him some soup to nourish his body. Before she finished thinking about this, Zhuo Qiran had already walked out.

In the morning light, the thin figure walked farther and farther away and finally disappeared in the corridor.

Bei Hui and Nan Yan served the princess a cup of rose water and replaced the tea for Emperor Zhaowu before leaving together.

The side hall was not as warm as the warm room, but fortunately Bei Hui had ordered a few copper-based enamel incense burners to be added early. The silver charcoal burned quietly in the cages, dispelling the cold that had seeped into the window lattices bit by bit.

Emperor Zhaowu took a sip of tea and said straight to the point, "I will return to the capital in three days."

Shi Anxia's lips curved up to the perfect angle, her smile neither too far nor too close, "I wish His Majesty a safe journey."

Emperor Zhaowu hesitated for a moment and said, "Before leaving, I want to promote Tang Xinghe to the rank of General of Defense of Gongcheng and Ma Chuyang to the rank of General of Defense of Songcheng to fill the vacancies in these two cities. What do you think, my sister?"

Shi Anxia frowned and lowered her eyes, "I dare not discuss state affairs. Everything is subject to the emperor's arrangements."

Emperor Zhaowu suddenly leaned forward, and the smell of ambergris mixed with a sense of oppression hit his face.

He pulled out a scroll of red-stamped maps from his sleeve and tapped it lightly on Shi Anxia's palm. "Open a secret canal to facilitate the transport of grain, strengthen the city defense and protect the capital. The excavation of the canal secret canal and the new deployment of the city defense will be handed over to the supervision of the imperial sister. After I return to the capital, I will order the Minister of Works and the Minister of War to come to Lingzhou in person."

The new emperor was full of vigor and energy, and finally he was radiant. He was no longer as indecisive as he was yesterday. "Within three years, I will move the capital to Lingzhou. By then, these two projects will be the lifeblood of the new capital. Lingzhou is the throat of the new capital, and I want it to be foolproof."

Shi Anxia touched the edge of the blueprint with her fingertips, slowly stood up, and saluted solemnly, "Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your trust."

Emperor Zhaowu left after finishing his business, unlike usual when he would chat about family matters. Apparently, the conversation last night had created an invisible wall between him and Shi Anxia.

It is said that on that day Emperor Zhaowu summoned and promoted Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang without stopping, and secretly discussed the matter of moving the capital with a group of civil officials.

Lingzhou officials were in a frenzy, especially Lingzhou prefect Wu Hongbo, who was so excited that he was shaking all over when he got to see the emperor and learned that the area under his jurisdiction would soon become the capital.

He was indeed highly valued by the imperial court! This was a plan that had been set up long ago, with him taking the lead.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Wu Hongbo blushed.

Such a big mistake happened in Lingzhou, and he, as the prefect, cannot escape the blame.

Cold sweat suddenly soaked through his clothes. He kowtowed heavily, "I swear on my life that I will make Lingzhou as solid as a rock! If Lingzhou makes any more mistakes, I will bring my head to you."

Three days later, Emperor Zhaowu set out to return to Beijing. At that time, Anxia set out for Tiema City.

One to the left and one to the right.

Yi Yi cried heartbreakingly, "Uncle, hold me, uncle, don't leave, uncle, hold me, Yi Yi wants uncle..."
