Kiyodo

In February of the second year of Shaoyun, every household, whether it was red bricks and green tiles or thatched earth walls, was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the icicles hanging on the eaves were a foot long.When people walk in and out, they have to bend their waists and lower their heads to be careful, because the icicles hurt the head.

However, the peach blossoms outside the capital blossomed all over the mountain overnight. From a distance, the whole mountain looks like it has been rubbed with rouge.There is a faint peach blossom fragrance in the air, which makes people feel good for no reason.The people were all amazed, could it be that the Peach Blossom Empress had appeared?

It's a big deal to show a spirit at the end of the year. It must be to bless the great Yin with no disease and disaster in this year, and the people are happy. It also implies that the new emperor who has just ascended the throne is a wise king.

Liu Jue, the Fifth King of the Great Yin, was guarding the northwest, and when he came to Beijing to report on his duties, he just laughed it off when he heard what the people said.On the contrary, the accompanying lieutenant general and military adviser frowned and were about to wring out flowers.

The lieutenant general is a rough guy. If you ask him to recite poems against you on weekdays, his face will turn blue and he won’t be able to let out a fart. When he is on the battlefield, he is like a mad dog. He bites everyone. He is famous in the military camp. It's fatal.

The military division is just the opposite, with outstanding literary talents and clever methods.In front of a group of men in the Northwest Army, she looks thin and tender, and is often dismissed by the lieutenants as a woman.

The military division also disliked this mad dog, and the two would quarrel and quarrel whenever they spoke, but they could always form a bond at critical moments.

This time, the lieutenant general has no brains anymore, and he has heard too much about the Peach Blossom Empress, so let's smash it for fun.He is not a commoner, and after staying in the barracks for a long time, there will always be something in his mind.

The fifth prince, Liu Jue, guarded the northwest so that no foreign enemy dared to invade. It was the strongest barrier on the frontier of Great Yin.With so much military power in his hands, it might be possible to raise troops to rebel. The new emperor is not the first emperor. Such a stone that threatens his throne is placed in the middle of the road. It's strange not to kick him.

In the end, it was Xindi who benefited from this matter, and the two of them would inevitably think of him.

The deputy general is just such a straight-forward person, he can say whatever comes to mind, so he leaned into Liu Jue's ear and whispered: "My lord, could it be that the emperor messed up this matter?"

The military adviser next to Liu Jue naturally heard it, and snorted coldly when he heard the words, which drew the lieutenant's stare.The military adviser rolled his eyes at him to indicate that the other party did not have the same knowledge as him.

Turning to Liu Jue, he respectfully said: "Your Majesty, I have indeed read in a book that peach blossoms bloom in winter, but the premise is that the winter is warm enough. It is unimaginable for peach blossoms to bloom in the climate of the capital. What's more, the whole mountain is still in bloom, and I have never heard of so many peach blossom trees on this mountain."

Liu Jue nodded: "What do you think?"

The military division took a deep breath, and slowly spit out a few words: "It can't be done by man, let alone overnight."

"Cut." The lieutenant curled his lips, "Could it be that you nerd really believe in the Peach Blossom Empress? If it's not someone who did it, I'll serve you tea and water all day long and call you Grandpa."

"I said, why do you two hold on to this peach blossom? No matter whether he made it or not, what's the matter with Guan Benwang?"

This picture of the leisurely and carefree uncle made the two of them wish to knock open his head to see what was inside, and to see who they were so worried about.

The food and money sown by the imperial court was the same as usual, but the amount received was pitifully small, which was not enough for the soldiers in the northwest.

If it is said that they were corrupted by those managers, and dare to corrupt such a large sum of money, isn't this a brain pit?

After all, it was only the little bastard emperor who had just sat on the throne and hadn't warmed his ass.

Seeing that the pancakes were getting smaller and the porridge was getting thinner, Liu Jue led all the border soldiers to reclaim the wasteland, and even played hooligans to wander around the borders of the neighboring small countries to grab some food.Those small countries are itching to hate, but they have to swallow the blood in their stomachs, and later they have to pretend to be friendly and enthusiastic to send these ancestors out.

The monarchs of those small countries felt bitter: they couldn't beat them, and they were not as rogue as they were, and they couldn't afford to provoke them, and they couldn't hide from them.

This time when I return to Beijing to report on my work, no matter what, the matter of food payment must be resolved, otherwise it will be troublesome if it takes a long time.

"I feel aggrieved looking at it like this now, and I shouldn't take the lives of the brothers in the Northwest because of making things difficult." Simply reversed, afraid that he would fail?The deputy general can only think about the second half of the sentence, there are some things that should not be said in this capital.

The food they received was less than half of what they used to be, so they would naturally write a letter asking to find out where the rest had gone, but they all disappeared without a trace.

The officials who detained the food and grass were detained, and they all pretended to be as innocent as rabbits: I will send as much as the top gives me, and if you ask me, who will I ask?

Going to sit in the magistrate's house is even more annoying. Although the old fried dough sticks talk in circles, but the bottom line is this: I am only a local magistrate. I don't care about it. It can't be your own. Just put this shit pot on someone else's head.

who can bear this

Only Liu Jue could bear it.

How could Liu Jue and the military adviser fail to understand what the lieutenant general meant, but the military adviser surprisingly did not refute this time, but remained silent.

Liu Jue hummed a tune that ran to some sloppy corner, reached out and knocked on the deputy general's forehead: "Don't think about what you have and what you don't have, I will find a way to pay for the food no matter what. We have to All I have to do is to guard the northwest, and save some other outrageous things."

The lieutenant general blushed a little bit unwillingly, and wanted to say something but was glared back by the military adviser.Although this person is "crazy", he is also a person who can read people's faces.

They could all see that Liu Jue was determined and didn't want to take action against the new emperor, even though he knew he was being suppressed, he still chose not to care.

When the fifth prince was young, he was taken into the palace by the former emperor and handed over to the empress to raise him. Although Liu Jue wanted to call her the emperor's wife, the empress regarded him as her own.And the person on the throne now is the empress at that time, the only heir of the empress dowager today.

The military division has a bit of a headache, should it be said that the prince values ​​love and righteousness or is stubborn.Taking the soldiers guarding the border as a joke, disregarding their lives just to make things difficult for them.The great powers around the northwest are eyeing them covetously. Once the northwest is breached, where will the people live in peace, and his throne will not sit still.

Is such a person really Ming Jun?

Even a refined person like a military adviser cursed in his heart: "Shit!"

The army gradually approached the crowd, and the people on the side of the road crowded around and stretched their necks to watch.

Who doesn't want to see the majestic and famous Northwest Army

Especially the fifth prince, Liu Jue, was unbeatable on the battlefield, but he was a handsome man off the battlefield.

The windows of the restaurants on both sides of the road where the Northwest Army passed by were fully booked a year ago, and the unmarried young ladies hid in the windows of the restaurants and stared at Liu Jue shyly and silently.

The fluffy chicken on the horse probably also had some self-knowledge, and didn't hum that ditty that could kill the enemy on the battlefield any more.Instead, he kept seducing people and laughing at the window of the restaurant, making all the girls blush.

The soldiers below all slandered in unison in their hearts: just pretend.

Don't look at Liu Jue who is so coquettish to death now, in fact, she is like a pig emotionally.Otherwise, I wouldn't be 25 and haven't married the princess yet.

Looking at a fragrant pink handkerchief "accidentally" falling in front of Liu Jue from the second floor, and throwing it back to others as if his head was caught in the door, it can be seen that the fifth prince is really stuck in a certain way .

It just so happened that the girl was quite fond of this set, and immediately said that she would also take this position in this restaurant next year.

So the saying "love sometimes goes to the head" is not wrong at all.
