Gold Mediator [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 18 The World That This Palace Made for You

????Because Hua Baihe was punished for copying too much content this time, the candles in the West Wing of Changle Hall were lit long enough to burn all night.

???? But she is not the only one who missed the chance of sleep tonight.

????Outside the capital city, at midnight, at the second watch.

???? There was the sound of swift horseshoes kicking and trampling at the gate of the city, and the guards on patrol on the city tower suddenly shouted loudly: "Who is here!"

???? The galloping horse was reined tightly, and its upper body was lifted up, making a rather hoarse stretching sound. Because it was driven to run for too long, it almost fell off with the person on it.

???? A copper-yellow token was held up high by a man on horseback. The man was wearing a khaki guard uniform, his face was covered with sweat, and the corners of his mouth were turned white due to dehydration. Not noticeable in the dark.

???? The guard on the tower saw the passing order and was about to open the door when he raised his head and shouted hoarsely:

???? "Report--! The Northwest Khitan Yeludi Division has invaded! Lancheng has fallen! The Northwest General... died for the country!"

????...

???? Within a quarter of an hour, the lights in the upper study room were turned on. Officials such as princes, university scholars, ministers of the Ministry of War, ministers of the household department, etc. were dug out of the bed by the emperor's order, and tremblingly put on court clothes, followed The little eunuch who led the way entered the palace all the way.

????Now it is the first year of Xianzheng of the Dayong Dynasty, the first year of Emperor Liu Ye's ascension to the throne. Although he looks quite young, he has been studying state affairs with the late emperor since he was seven years old. There is a pair of calm eyes under the beaded curtain of the imperial crown.

???? He raised his hand and tapped on the armrest, and asked in a deep voice, "Master Wang, how many people are serving in the border town?"

???? Wang Shangshu said without hesitation: "Lancheng is [-]%, the rest of Yucheng, Cancheng and Yucheng are [-]%, and the rest is less than [-]%."

????Liu Ye heard the words and asked the servant of the household department: "Zheng Qiu, how much is the surplus grain in the treasury? How much is the silver tael?"

???? Zheng Qiu raised his hand and reported: "Except for the flood-stricken Jiangdong area, 23% of the grain taxes in various places have been paid. Now the state treasury has a surplus of 200 shi and [-] million taels of silver."

???? Lancheng is a small city with a population of less than a thousand people, but it is the place where the territory of the Yong Dynasty borders the most on the northwest border. Even on an ordinary market day, the Dimanzi walking on the street is full of people from the Central Plains ten times as much.

???? Whenever grassland tribes have insufficient water and grass and cattle and sheep suffer from plague, Lancheng is always the first city to be robbed.

???? Therefore, almost all the people in Lancheng are soldiers and all serve in the military. Even so, it is difficult to avoid this catastrophe.

????Liu Ye had an idea in his mind, and his eyes swept over the backbone of the court in front of him, and continued to ask: "Now that Lancheng is lost, what good strategy do you love?"

????The people who had been counted earlier cupped their hands, walked out of the queue one by one, and spoke:

???? "My Majesty, the Khitan Yeludi tribe is the most powerful of the eight grassland tribes, and its territory is also the most barren. Most of the people are struggling to eat, so they have a heart to plunder. I think that they can send envoys Minister, with five thousand shi of grain and 5000 taels of silver, you can no longer hurt a single citizen, spend a single soldier, and make them surrender."

???? "Now is the first year of the Holy Majesty's enthronement, and Yeludi's tribe dared to invade. It is obvious that we don't take our Dayong Dynasty seriously! Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the battle, take back Lancheng, and avenge the Northwest General! "

????...

???? When they went to the study room for a fierce oral debate, in the main hall of Changle Hall, Huanxi was about to persuade Jiang Yao to rest.

???? "Niang Niang——" Bai Zifang in Jiang Yao's hand fell on the chessboard, and the person beside her couldn't help shouting, causing her to tilt her head and make a stop gesture.

????Then, Jiang Yao listened carefully to the movement outside, and ordered: "Go and find out what happened. I heard the gong beating for urgent matters."

???? Of course Huanxi also heard the sound, holding back and holding back at this moment, could only kneel down to salute her, and ran outside.

???? After a while, Huanxi came back with news: "Your Majesty! It's the Khitan tribe from the Northwest who invaded, and now the emperor is summoning the ministers to discuss matters in the upper study."

????Jiang Yao paused for a while, looked at the game on the chessboard, and slowly placed the stone on the core part of the "Trapped Beast Fight", without making a sound for a while.

???? The sound of the move made Huanxi hesitate a bit. He looked at the white piece on the board that could swallow up a large area of ​​black pieces in an instant. When Jiang Yao slowly withdrew his hand, he took out a letter from his sleeve, and said to himself:

???? "Pass this letter to King Jiang's mansion outside the palace, and then I will tell you to go to the imperial dining room and order a soup of tremella and lotus seeds for the emperor, so that he can reduce the fire."

???? Seeing her inscrutable expression, Huanxi didn't quite understand the queen's reaction when she heard the battle, but she never knew much about the affairs of the court, so she could only nod her head blankly at this moment, and took the letter He wanted to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Yao:

???? "Add another sentence when sending the letter: If you send the forbidden book to the palace privately, the family law will serve you."

Huanxi got the order, turned around neatly and walked out.

????...

???? "I usually raise a bunch of trash!"

???? The next morning, Liu Ye went straight to the Changle Hall after leaving the morning court, and just stepped into the hall gate when he cursed in a bad temper.

???? Hua Baihe copied it all night, and deliberately replaced the word "Jiang Yao" with the empress empress. At the moment, his tired wrists were a little sore, and his wrists almost trembled when he was serving tea to the emperor.

????Liu Ye took the tea, raised his eyes to look at her, and realized that it was the ordinary maid next to the queen, then turned his gaze away to Jiang Yao who came gracefully.

????Jiang Yao seemed to see Hua Baihe's exhaustion, quietly blocked her, and then smiled at Liu Ye: "What's wrong with the emperor? Who doesn't have long eyes and dares to provoke the emperor?" temper?"

????Liu Ye might be really anxious. He didn't hide it from her at this time, and raised his hand to gesture to her: "Lancheng was destroyed, and the Northwest General Su Hu died in battle! However, since the middle of last night, the imperial court Among these humerus ministers, a full [-]% do not approve of war!"

???? "I think they are used to living a peaceful life, and they refuse to let go of their luxurious life. Each of them was raised as a field mouse on the grassland. Hearing the sound of the wind, he hid in the field!"

???? The more Liu Ye talked, the more angry he became. He lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip for himself. However, amidst the bitterness at a moderate temperature, he tasted a touch of sweetness.

???? He paused, squinted at the thing floating in the teacup, took a closer look, laughed out loud, and looked at Hua Baihe next to him: "Is this the tea you made for me?"

???? Hua Baihe heard about what happened in the court hall when he got up early, and knew that Liu Ye would definitely come to the Changle Palace today. He was a little worried that Jiang Yao would face his anger, so he wisely——

???? Made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea!

???? It also added rock sugar very luxuriously!

???? Jiang Yao sensed that something was wrong, and then took a look into Liu Ye's cup, and saw the blossoming daisies. She couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, but calmly accepted the matter:

???? "Yesterday, my concubine ordered the imperial dining room to serve the emperor a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup to relieve the heat. Today, I want to let the emperor taste this scented tea, and the effect is quite similar."

????Liu Ye listened, raised his eyelids to look at her, tasted the sweetness left in his mouth, snorted and said, "You women just like these flowers and plants..."

???? After all, he knew that Jiang Yao had always understood that he liked to drink Yuqian Longjing, and he would not give himself such a surprise suddenly.

???? So he put the teacup in his hand on the table next to him, and said again: "It's not bad to have such a slave by the queen's side. When you get bored occasionally, you can have fun."

???? Hua Baihe: "..." Bah!

???? The emperor had no time to care about such a slave's thoughts. After finishing speaking, he turned the jade finger on his thumb and looked at the queen: "I am gratified that Prince Jiang is young, and he was used by princes and ministers in the past. Attending him every day is ignorant, yet today in court he dared to ask for orders to lead the decree to destroy the enemy."

???? "A group of great Confucians, the sages' books have been read into the stomachs of dogs!" After finishing speaking, he continued to scold the literati in the court in confusion.

???? Jiang Yao comforted her in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty calms down, after all, it's all for the servants who have dedicated themselves to Dayong, but it's just a moment of unconsciousness—"

???? "What a moment of unconsciousness!" Liu Ye said: "I think they have forgotten the admonition of the holy grandfather!"

???? After a few words of persuasion, Jiang Yao subdued the emperor's anger, and then had lunch in Changle Hall.

???? But he stayed in the Changle Palace for a long time today, and after dinner, he even drew an orchid with Jiang Yao with great interest, and listened to the queen complimenting his orchid at the side, describing it as empty and arrogant.

???? He held the pen, looked at the flowers and plants on the paper, concentrated for a long time, and suddenly said:

???? "Queen, since the Taizu, the Khitan people in the northwest have repeatedly invaded. Dayong has gone through four dynasties, and they all asked for money and food. The result is that this white-eyed wolf has been raised more and more. Bigger."

????Jiang Yao didn't make a sound, just listened silently by the side.

???? "I can't just sit back and watch this 'heartache' drag on." Liu Ye said.

????Jiang Yao knew that he had made a decision, and looked up, and Liu Ye happened to look over, and the voice rang out together:

???? "I am determined to lead the army myself."

???? The next moment, Jiang Yao knelt down in front of him.

????Liu Ye snorted softly, threw the pen on the table, and asked, "Do you want to persuade me?"

???? Unexpectedly, what Jiang Yao said was: "As the mother of the Great Yong Kingdom, my concubine has the duty to advise the emperor. The emperor is the foundation of the country, and he should never put himself in danger."

????Liu Ye's heart slowly cooled down, he walked past her, and was about to go out without looking back, but Jiang Yao continued:

???? "However, I know that since the emperor was 12 years old, I have been determined to solve the Dirong Rebellion in the Northwest every ten years. I have been with you for many years, and I can't help but look forward to this day for you .”

???? The emperor was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look: "Yaoyao..." He immediately walked back to Jiang Yao.

????Jiang Yao was supported by the emperor, but she didn't get up, she still lowered her head: "Your Majesty, this concubine's words are against the Queen's way, and this concubine knows that she is guilty."

???? Liu Ye's eyes have already shown a harmonious affection: "The one who knows me is also the empress——I have such a good wife, it should be Dayong's luck."

???? Hua Baihe acted as a transparent person in the corner, watching the scene of deep love between the emperor and empress before him. Since Jiang Yao said the first sentence, the 22 above his head has been running backwards, and he saw 45 Have no intention of stopping yet.

???? She sighed to the system in her heart: "That's right, I've picked it!"

???? The system breathed a sigh of relief.

???? I heard her ask again: "I don't want the heroine anymore, can I think about the female supporting role?"

???? System: "Who?"

???? Hua Baihe: "Hee hee, what do you think of Shen Qingyu?"

???? System: "【Are you trying to piss your dad off?.jpg】"

????...

???? Not long after, the news that the emperor was going to lead the army in person shocked the government and the public.

???? The courtiers from the previous dynasty sent their memorials to the palace like snowflakes, and the good concubine and the queen mother in the harem also wiped their tears to persuade the emperor. afternoon.

???? When Jiang Yao came back at night, Huanxi's eyes turned red from rubbing her blue knees.

????Jiang Yao couldn't see the tears of the people around her, so she asked her to go out, and Qing Jia came to serve her.

???? Hua Baihe moved very neatly, rubbing her knees with moderate strength, but for some reason, she always felt that Jiang Yao's eyes were scratching her neck, which made her feel a little cold.

???? After a while, Jiang Yao said: "You taught me the knowledge last time, and I have some experience. I have searched for some things recently."

???? Hua Baihe didn't expect that she would suddenly mention this, and she looked confused.

???? She looked up and saw Jiang Yao pointing to a box in the corner of the hall, motioning for her to go over.

???? She could only help put down the other party's underpants and trousers, and walked to the box in a daze——

???? After lifting the lid, Hua Baihe saw the jade in the center of the box.

???? Ah bah, the tongue is not straightened, it is the jade in the center of the box.

???? There are some strange feathers, silver bells and other objects beside it.

???? When she was still surprised, she realized that Jiang Yao had put on her shoes and walked behind her at some point, and asked in a low voice: "The emperor is leaving soon. I intend to impress him at night. What do you think?" May I give him a gift?"

???? Hua Baihe breathed a sigh of relief: Oh, so I let myself watch the fun between husband and wife.

???? She praised: "The emperor will never forget the empress."

???? Jiang Yao then smiled, that pretty face was extraordinarily bright in the room full of lights.

???? She looked at Hua Baihe tenderly, and asked, "Really?"

???? Then, she asked again: "So, what about you?"

???? Hua Baihe: ... huh?

???? Jiang Yao looked into her eyes: "In this, what can make you never forget?"
