To Rule in a Turbulent World

That night, You Miao and Zhao Chao had the most violent quarrel for the first time in their lives, and Zhao Chao almost threw You Miao out of the imperial study.

"I said no, I just can't!"

You Miao said: "It's not all for Li Zhifeng himself! You forgot the brother's blood feud? Forgot Darleko's plan? Sooner or later, the dog Rong people will cause a catastrophe!"

"Not now." Zhao Chao said coldly, "In the future."

"What after?!" You Miao said, "You don't believe what you say, how can you explain to Li Zhifeng?!"

"In addition to explaining to Li Zhifeng, I also have to explain to thousands of Yangzhou soldiers! Those who died in the battle, their wives and children!" Zhao Chao almost shouted: "Let him come! Come and question me ! I don't care!"

"Then why didn't you say it at the beginning!" You Miao yelled: "Why didn't you say it when you used him to fight?! You tricked him into willingly working for you, and now you want to..."

"I am the emperor." Zhao Chao's tone was cold, and he took a step forward and said, "Uncle Guo, have you been called brother and brother for a long time, and have forgotten your own identity?"

You Miao instantly realized the danger and took a step back.

"What will I give him?" Zhao Chao threatened with a trembling voice, "That's what I rewarded him, and you won't be allowed to bargain... As a Han, you are only thinking about how to help a dog-like prince. Restoration of the country... After the restoration of the country, you still have to leave... You... Have you put the country of the Southern Dynasty in your eyes! Junjunchenchen! When did you put Zhen in your eyes?!"

When You Miao heard this, her heart turned cold, and she couldn't stop backing away. He finally understood what Zhao Chao was thinking—from the very beginning, Zhao Chao had no intention of fulfilling this promise at all.

"Third Brother, you don't keep your word." You Miao said, "You can't keep me."

"You can't go anywhere." Zhao Chao looked at You Miao and said lightly, "I won't let Li Zhifeng take you away."

You Miao knocked open the door of the imperial study room unknowingly, then slammed the door, turned and left.

Zhao Chao was so furious that he stood in the imperial study and gasped for breath.

On October [-]th, there is a full moon in the sky.

You Miao clutched Li Zhifeng's family letter, knowing that it had snowed heavily in the north, and everyone was looking forward to returning.And Li Zhifeng was waiting for the soldiers that Zhao Chao had promised him, and prepared to go back to the army in one go before the severe cold arrived.

"Uncle Guo." A court lady said: "The Empress invites you to go to the palace to talk."

You Miao suppressed her anger and entered the palace. Qiao Rong was in the confinement period, and she couldn't help worrying. She asked, "Why are you arguing again?"

You Miao smiled and said, "It's okay, let me take a look at my little nephew?"

The nanny brought the twins and showed them to You Miao. Qiao Rong comforted You Miao a few more words, and You Miao sighed, "He doesn't want to lend Li Zhifeng soldiers."

"Your third brother is afraid that you will leave, so he will never come back." Qiao Rong smiled, patted You Miao's head with one hand, and said, "Sister has persuaded him several times, you are not the one who stays here, reluctantly If you keep it, you will not be happy, so why not let you go wherever you want.”

"It's a pity that he is still determined to call Li Zhifeng back." You Miao said.

Qiao Rong frowned and said, "Is there any way? The imperial decree has been issued today? Or let Li Zhifeng stay in Da'an for a winter..."

You Miao shook her head silently, then got up suddenly, Qiao Rong said anxiously: "Miaozi!"

You Miao walked quickly through the imperial garden, squinting her eyes, thinking about the possibility of dragging on.If Li Zhifeng led his troops to stay in Da'an, then after this winter, he might be able to find an opportunity to make an aggressive move.

But tomorrow morning at the latest, the court's order will be issued.Li Zhifeng will definitely clash with Tu Risheng... You Miao walks through the imperial study room and sees that the lights inside have been turned off.The guards outside were patrolling and saluted You Miao when they passed by.

You Miao swaggered into the imperial study, lit the lamp, folded the memorial on the table, and accidentally saw the iron box on the table.

The iron box was locked, You Miao took a deep breath, found the key in the desk, opened the box, and inside was the emperor's seal.You Miao took out a blank imperial decree, stamped it, turned off the light and came out.Go back to the side hall and send someone to summon a servant.

Cheng Guangwu was taking orders outside the palace, and when he arrived, You Miao had quickly written the imperial decree and handed it to Cheng Guangwu.

"Go north quickly." You Miao said: "Here are the customs clearance documents and the personal letter of the political affairs. Take the imperial decree and this jade pendant to Da'an City, and give it to Li Zhifeng, and let him lead the army to go out."

Cheng Guangwu didn't know the inside story, nodded, took You Miao's jade pendant, turned and left.After Cheng Guangwu left, You Miao fell on the chair as if she was exhausted. Now, the rest is up to Li Zhifeng.He bet that Zhao Chao would not do anything to him.

After this day, You Miao didn't mention Zhao Chao's fulfillment of his promise, and Zhao Chao didn't say anything.

However, on October [-]th, when the frontline soldiers reported back, Zhao Chao was furious and rushed into the hall. At that time, You Miao was talking to Qiao Rong. .

"You Ziqian! How dare you falsely preach the imperial decree!" Zhao Chao roared angrily, stepped forward and strangled You Miao's throat, Qiao Rong's expression changed immediately, and she said anxiously: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, be merciful!"

You Miao was pushed back by Zhao Chao and fell back, knocking over the coffee table, Zhao Chao rode on You Miao, and punched You Miao in the head, You Miao's head buzzed, and he didn't dare to struggle, so he had to let Zhao Chao was beaten.The molars had already been loosened by the blow he received during the prince's rebellion, but now Zhao Chao broke his teeth alive, and a mouthful of blood fell out along with the molars.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Qiao Rong rushed over and pulled Zhao Chao away. Zhao Chao didn't expect that his punch in anger would beat You Miao like this.

You Miao stood up in embarrassment, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, Zhao Chao shouted: "Come on! Take You Miao to the prison!"

"I can go by myself!" You Miao said to the guard.

You Miao limped out, Zhao Chao was like an irritated lion, his beard and hair were swollen, he couldn't stop panting, watching You Miao's fallen molars, he gradually calmed down.
