[Zhili] stick to this one heart and never leave

In Xuanwu Terrace study room, the carving door was closed tightly, and there was a group of people standing in the small room, but no one came forward to explain what was going on, but the atmosphere was extremely dignified.

Zhi Ming looked at the booklet on the table, and frowned.There are no piles of notebooks for him to deal with, there is only this notebook on the table, but it seems that this one notebook is enough to stump everyone...

What he told Murong Li was just to ease his heart, now is different from the past, and he is not the foolish king who used to eat and wait to die.Before leaving Tianquan, he had already explained everything to Master Lu and other senior ministers, so he did not go to Yaoguang secretly, and the reason why he was too busy to see Murongli before New Year's Eve was precisely because of these things...

But right now...if something really big had happened, Lord Lu would never have waited for Yuzhao at the gate.

Zhi Ming picked up the memorial with no expression on his face, and flipped through it carefully... His hand trembled slightly, and a gap was pinched on the edge of the folder.

"Your Majesty!" Lord Lu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "The book was delivered three days ago, this matter is no small matter!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to call General Meng into the palace for discussion?"

As soon as someone opened his mouth, someone next to him seconded his opinion, "Master Li is right, and I also mean the same thing. I thought I should discuss this matter with General Meng, but Prime Minister Lu meant for His Majesty to make a decision. "

Lord Lu glanced coldly at the person who spoke, and raised his voice, "Lord Liu's words are wrong. We are only responsible for reading the memorials when His Majesty is away from the country. How can such important matters be leaked without authorization?"

Master Liu said awkwardly, "What Prime Minister Lu said is true, Liu Xi has overstepped."

Master Lu snorted coldly, bowed his hands to Zhiming again, and said with some worry, "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, this matter must be done with caution!"

Zhi Ming raised his eyes and glanced at Master Lu, Master Lu secretly winked at Zhi Ming, Zhi Ming was full of upset and knew that this matter should not be impulsive, so he excused everyone, leaving only Master Lu by his side.

"The power of heaven..."

"No, Your Majesty!" Master Lu said urgently.

Zhi Ming rubbed his forehead, he was well aware of Master Lu's worries, Tianquan had only gone through a great war, and he ascended the throne in a hurry, his territory expanded several times overnight, he had already dispersed his troops, and now he hastily recruited from all over the world. The counties mobilize troops, and it is difficult to guarantee that the counties will not take the opportunity to be their masters.

Just like what Murongli once analyzed with him, the old Tianxuan clan scattered among the people, although it should not be underestimated, there is no need to act too hastily.

"As long as Tianquan is prosperous and stable, they can only talk on paper."

The man's words are still in my ears, Ah Li... I know that your words have become a prophecy, and today Quan is probably going to give Tianxuan old clan such an opportunity.

"Your Majesty brought Lord Murong with you this time, right?"

"The widow will never hand him over!"

"Your Majesty!" Lord Lu and Murongli have no quarrel, and he has dealt with Murongli in the matter of General Wei. Regardless of the interests of his family and country, he has some appreciation for the Lord of Yaoguang, but... "Does Your Majesty want to fight the Liuli Kingdom?"

Zhiming closed his eyes in pain, why, why is it the Liuli Kingdom, why is it Ziyu's elder brother...

He was speechless at what the memorial said.

Ziyu's elder brother, the current gentleman of the Liuli Kingdom, Chen Bing took the power of the whole country to rule the northwest border, and passed on the letter of the kingdom saying that Murongli knew of his brother's death because he saw death and refused to save him.The words in the letter were sincere, he did not intend to be disrespectful to Tian Quan, nor did he intend to meddle in the Central Plains, he personally led the troops here, as long as Zhi Ming handed over Murong Li.

Every sentence is painful, every word is heartbreaking, what he owes Ziyu, he can pay back with everything, except Murongli...

"Go talk, send the best envoys to talk, go tell Zi Dui, Zi Yu was sent to the battlefield by the widow, what has he to do with Ah Li? I can give him whatever he wants, except Murong Li!"

"Your Majesty..." Master Lu was worried, he knew Murongli's difference to Zhiming, and he also knew that it was useless to talk too much, so he sighed, "So, this old minister is willing to go to the border in person as the country's envoy."

"Your Excellency!" Zhi Ming was surprised, Master Lu is also an elderly person, not a few years younger than the Taifu, not to mention the bumpy road to the northwest, it is self-evident how dangerous it is to enter the enemy's camp.That Zidui must be in a fit of anger, even though the two countries are not going to fight each other, but... not to mention that the Liuli Kingdom does not necessarily respect Zhongyuan ethics, so what if they do?It's really embarrassing, who cares about those hypocrisy?

Lord Lu just smiled, "Your Majesty, do you know how many years you have been in court?"

Zhi Ming was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, he really hadn't thought about it before.

Master Lu smiled and sighed, "I became an official at nineteen, and the old lady Fu single-handedly picked me up. It's been 45 years..." Master Lu's eyes were full of nostalgia, as if he could see the youthful youth in the old days, full of vigor , full of the heart of assisting the country and the people, "I don't know how many years I can serve the power of heaven. I know that your majesty is not stubborn, and I also understand that your majesty will never do anything that is treacherous. Therefore, I would like to go to the northwest to negotiate peace with King Liuli. I hope This matter can be turned around.”

Zhi Ming helped Lord Lu up, he couldn't say for a long time, what to say... what to say, the gratitude of the old minister in front of him is no longer the friendship between the monarch and his ministers, he never imagined that there is an elder beside him, who is for him So much for it.

"My lord, please accept Zhiming's obeisance!"

Master Lu hurriedly stopped Zhi Ming, "Your Majesty, how did this happen!"

Zhiming laughed at himself, "The widow is not a good monarch."

Lord Lu sighed deeply, "It's not that your Majesty is a good monarch, but that a monarch should not be in love."

Seeing that Zhiming remained silent, Lord Lu pretended to be relaxed and relieved, "This veteran will definitely do his best on this matter, but there is one more thing that His Majesty must understand."

"You... want the widow to prepare."

Lord Lu nodded, "There is nothing wrong with it, just in case, if the old minister has failed the king's order, His Majesty should think of a countermeasure."

Zhiming's hand clenched unconsciously, he knew what Lord Lu said very well, he had heard Ziyu mention his brother Wang more than once, although he always said it wronged at that time, it is not difficult to see that Zidui cared about him very much , their brotherhood must be very good.The envoy who escorted Ziyu's remains to Liuli also mentioned that on the day Ziyu's funeral arrived in Liuli Kingdom, Zidui brought a group of officials to the border to welcome him. , although she has an extraordinary bearing, she can hardly hide her haggardness...

Would such a person really give up so easily when he came here with his troops?

At least in Ziyu's words, his elder brother is not a person who just waits to die and is emotional.

Can he really go to war with the Liuli Kingdom?

Regardless of the current situation and military strength, can he really fight with Ziyu's elder brother?

"No matter what, this matter should not be publicized, it must... not be passed on to Xunyou Terrace!"

"hiss……"

"Master be careful." A Yu pulled Murongli's hand and blew, muttering, "Why did the master beat the teacup? Is it hot? I'll get the ointment."

"No need." Murong Li called A Yu, "You just wipe the table and make a pot for me."

Seeing that Murongli's hand was fine, Ah Yu finally felt relieved, took the teapot out with a smile.

Murongli stared blankly at the table in front of him, sighed gloomily, he hadn't been so restless for a long time, "Zhi Ming..."

Why haven't you come back?

"Ali!"

With a whisper in his ear, Murongli raised his eyes and saw the person who had been thinking about it for a day, did he really have a tacit understanding?A bit of grievance suddenly appeared in the dignified man's heart, Murongli got up, walked quickly to Zhi Ming's side, and hugged him before he could react.

Zhi Ming was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong?"

Murong Li remained silent.

Zhi Ming joked, "I haven't seen you for half a day, Ah Li just thinks of me like this?"

Murong Li smiled lightly, relaxed a little distance, and stared at the person in front of him, "Is something wrong?"

Zhiming's expression froze, and he said helplessly, "Nothing can escape Ah Li's eyes."

Murong Li paused for a moment, but suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhiming shook his head, as if he had a headache, "Oh...it's not Tianshu yet."

"Tianshu?" Murongli thought, "Ding Yuan?"

Zhi Ming nodded, "Ding Yuan wants to implement land policy in Tianshu, which is very good, but they are naturally unwilling to touch the interests of the old clan, and they also think that Ding Yuan was born in a poor family, thinking that he has nothing to rely on, so they have repeatedly made troubles. .”

Murongli nodded, empathizing, "I have encountered this kind of thing before. As the king of a country, I have to go around in every possible way, but it is really difficult for him."

After Murong Li finished speaking, seeing that Zhi Ming hadn't answered for a long time, he couldn't help but look up at him, and saw that Zhi Ming was looking at him non-stop, his eyes were full of pity, and his heart trembled softly, and it was as soft as cotton in an instant.He gently caressed Zhiming's face, "Don't look at me like this, I'm also a man, and a man should stand upright, these are nothing."

Zhiming didn't care so much, he pulled the person in front of him into his arms, hugged his slender waist, and whispered in his ear, "You are an upright man, and you are also the treasure hidden in my heart, you have to guard it." Yao Guang, the widow will protect you, Ah Li, don't be afraid, the widow will protect you for the rest of my life."

Murong Li was moved, and couldn't help chuckling, "Could it be that I can't protect you?"

Zhi Ming also smiled lightly, "The widow will not give you such a chance."

"This is not fair!"

"The widow doesn't like 'fairness', the widow only likes you."

"You are unreasonable."

"When did Ah Li see the widow speak the truth?"

It makes sense!He was really speechless, there was really nothing he could do about this person.

Zhi Ming hugged Murong Li for a long time, and finally asked, "Is Ah Li hungry?"

Murong Li leaned on his shoulder and nodded.

Zhiming smiled, "Then let's pass on the meal?"

"it is good."

Murong Li hugged Zhi Ming and smiled peacefully, but he still didn't let go.

On a quiet night, in the ambiguous warm tent, Zhi Ming slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him, his eyes were lightly closed, peaceful and quiet, his warm breath was softly sprayed on the tip of his nose, with a breath that only belonged to him .

I can't get enough of it... Zhi Ming held the arm of the person in front of him imperceptibly tightly, and looked at him from a short distance away, Ah Li... Don't be afraid... the widow will protect you...

Gently caressing Murongli's face with calloused hands, Zhi Ming smiled lightly, "That day when the widows were about to leave, there would be a storm in Yaoguang. Tell me, does the heaven want us to be together?"

Yes, it must be, Mr. Lu is just a low-key person, but his ability in state affairs is not inferior to that of the Grand Tutor. If he negotiates, there will definitely be room for change.

A whole night of anxiety and anxiety, Zhi Ming didn't know when he fell asleep, but he never let go of the person next to his pillow, either in a dream or not.

The next day, Xuanwu Terrace.

"Does Your Majesty really want to send Lord Lu to the northwest? Lord Lu is the pillar of the country, this method is too risky..."

Zhi Ming stared at the person who spoke, the person was stunned suddenly, and he bowed silently after a while.

"Go down."

The official who made the speech wiped off his sweat and resigned again and again.

Zhi Ming let out a long sigh while holding his forehead, it was very sad.

Luo Min paused, and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhi Ming.

"Does Luo Qing have any countermeasures for this matter?"

Luo Min's heart turned slightly, and Fang replied, "It's nothing more than fighting or not fighting. It's best for Liuli Kingdom to retreat by itself."

"You also want to persuade the widow to hand over Ah Li?" Zhi Ming frowned.

Luo Min immediately cupped his hands, "I don't dare, in fact, if Your Majesty is not at ease to fight with General Meng, Luo Min is willing to lead the troops."

Zhi Ming froze slightly, do you really want to fight?

Ziyu really died for the power of heaven, to save his beloved... Now he wants to fight with his compatriots?

As an emperor, Zhiming knew that he should act decisively, but...

The forehead was throbbing, and he held his forehead to hold his forehead, closed his eyes and frowned, "Forget it, I want to be quiet."

Luo Min tenderly resigned.

"Wait!"

"What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Go and call the Imperial Physician."

"What's the matter, my lord?" Geng Chen walked into Murongli's bedroom with a smile.

Murongli was sitting by the desk in a daze, when he was called by Geng Chen, he was startled.

Geng Chen also had a meal, didn't Murong Li send him the message?Why did it seem that he disturbed him.Geng Chen worried, "Why is Your Majesty always restless these days?"

Murongli shook his head lightly, "I can't tell, I always feel that Zhiming seems to have something on his mind."

Geng Chen thought for a while, then said softly, "Is your majesty still thinking about your majesty leaving without saying goodbye? That's all in the past, and your majesty just cares too much about your majesty, so you can be so. Majesty, please relax, although your subordinates have never had any love affairs, but The subordinates can see that His Majesty is sincere to the king."

Murong Li smiled faintly, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he was also worried, "It's because he cares too much about me that I always feel uneasy."

Geng Chen was also in a dilemma. He was just a spectator in the matter between these two people. How could he get in the way? of?Really a fan of the authorities...

"You said before, one of the remaining swords is in the Liuli Kingdom?"

"indeed so."

Murongli thought deeply, "Liuli..."

"What happened to Ah Li's body?"

In the study of Xuanwu Terrace, Zhi Ming frowned, looking at the imperial physician order coldly.

The Imperial Physician Ling swallowed his saliva and said calmly, "Master Murong is fine."

"Very good?" Zhi Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help clenching his fingers on the armrest, "Really good?"

"Forgive me for being stupid, what does Your Majesty want to ask? Lord Murong is indeed in good health recently!"

Zhi Ming sighed deeply, shook his head and said, "I don't know if I'm worrying too much, I always feel that A Li's body is much worse than before..."

"before?"

Zhiming nodded and recalled, "I remember that during the three years when Ah Li was in Tianquan, except for the time when he fainted, he had a total of two colds, and both times he recovered within three days, but... ..." Zhiming paused, and reluctantly brought up the past, "Since the widow hurt him last year, he has been sick several times in the past six months. Tell me...is it...is it because of a heart attack? ,so……"

The Imperial Physician Ling paused, he was involved in the treatment of Murongli, and he was the one who risked to put forward the method of combining the two medicines into one, that step was indeed a right bet, and he then worshiped the Imperial Physician Order.

Knowing that Zhiming valued Murong Li, the imperial physician's order did not dare to be rash, he pondered for a long time before saying, "I have read the pulse case of the Lord Murong, there is nothing wrong with it, if your majesty is still not at ease, just issue an order, and tomorrow the old minister will come Ask for a pulse for the king personally."

Hearing that there was nothing wrong, Zhi Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still puzzled, "Then...why does he catch cold so easily?"

"This..." The imperial physician ordered that, "Fengxie is easy to invade, and there are many reasons for it to come, but I think that although the Lord Murong is not seriously ill, after all, his heart is damaged, so it must be difficult to compare with before. , But fortunately, the king was born in the emperor's family, so it is not difficult to find any kind of precious medicinal materials. I think that the king is young and healthy, and he will take good care of it. It will not be a problem, but the same..."

"what?"

"Don't overwork yourself."

Zhi Ming smiled wryly in his heart, asking his Ah Li not to work too hard, it's really not easy... But thinking that Murong Li is finally safe, he finally let go of his heart that had been hanging for many days.

"From now on, you will be responsible for Ah Li's body, so there must be no mistakes!"

The imperial doctor was startled, and stared at Zhiming in disbelief, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

No wonder he was so shocked, since the imperial physician ordered that he can only diagnose the Lord's pulse, this is the law of etiquette, the law of the country, and a symbol of the emperor's dignity, but insisting on saying this is tantamount to sitting on an equal footing with Murongli!The Imperial Physician Ling was terrified by his own thought. Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for an emperor is that there is another person who wants to keep pace with him, but Zhi Ming doesn't care at all. How dare he believe this is called the Imperial Physician Ling?

How important this Lord Murong is to His Majesty!The Imperial Physician Ling just felt that he couldn't imagine it at all.
