The little emperor looked at Yan Ruqing as if he was embarrassed, with sincere eyes: "What do you think, uncle? If uncle is not in good health, I will find someone else."
For a moment, all eyes in the study room fell on Yan Ruqing.
Yan Ruqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up. When everyone thought he was about to get angry, Yan Ruqing lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down on one knee and said seriously: "As the general of the border, I have people on the border.
It's so difficult, how can you sit back and ignore it? Not to mention that I was just slightly injured, even if my leg was broken or my hand was broken, I would return to the border and live and die with the soldiers. The general only wants to defend the city and die, not
I wish to survive."
These words were loud and powerful, and when they fell into the ears of everyone, they were even a little shocked. The expressions of the ministers and the little emperor were frozen for a moment.
When Lou Jinming, who was standing in the corner, heard this, his eyes changed slightly as he looked at Yan Ruqing.
The live broadcast room was even more excited.
[Woo woo woo, I don’t know why I want to cry when I hear this]
[Lord Grim, lying drunk on the battlefield, how many times have you fought in ancient times? (1) I will always be moved by the passion of the generals]
[Before, I never understood why he refused to overthrow the little emperor and ascend to the throne even though he was obviously powerful and wise. Now I understand, he actually doesn’t want the world to be turbulent, right? If the little emperor can tolerate him, he will do his best to assist him and even
The world is at peace, but it’s a pity that the little emperor can’t keep his temper, he has no choice but to turn back]
The little emperor slowly stood up and stared into Yan Ruqing's eyes, "Uncle, have you really thought about it? Southern Xinjiang is coming fiercely this time, and there may be no way back from this."
Yan Ruqing looked at him calmly, her eyes filled with strength that should not be underestimated, "My lord, don't be afraid."
"good!"
The little emperor nodded, "Pass on my decree, make the regent the general of Pingnan, and immediately lead the troops to southern Xinjiang!"
"I accept the decree!"
The incident happened suddenly, and there were not so many cumbersome rules. Yan Ruqing left the palace and went directly back to the house, packed up her salutes, and galloped out of the city. Mo Shangshuang was left behind in the house to deliver the news.
Mo Shuangshuang watched him leave, worried.
He turned to look in the direction of the palace, and his eyes became cold. Before leaving, the prince asked him to obey the Queen Mother, but could that little girl really support such a big stall?
…
When Lou Jinhuan woke up, Yan Ruqing was already on the way.
She listened to the news Du Ruo inquired and slowly swallowed the last mouthful of porridge.
"Your Majesty asked Mo Shangshuang to stay. If your Majesty has anything to do, just ask him to do it." Du Ruo looked at Lou Jinhuan's face and whispered.
Lou Jinhuan nodded, "I know."
"Aren't you worried?" Du Ruo sighed, "The prince is still so seriously injured, and he doesn't know how much hardship he will endure along the way?"
Lou Jinhuan's hand holding the handkerchief paused, her eyes dropped, and she looked at her injured right hand again. It was fine when she didn't mention it. But when she mentioned Yan Ruqing, an inexplicable feeling appeared in her palm involuntarily.
of itching.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"Um?"
Lou Jinhuan came to his senses: "What?"
Du Ruo looked at her suspiciously, "Why were you distracted just now?"
She rolled her eyes, "Are you thinking about the prince?"
Lou Jinhuan clasped her palms together, "No." She stood up and looked out the window, "It's time for the eldest brother to enter the palace today."
…
On a spring afternoon, the Imperial Garden is lined with green trees and fragrant flowers, creating a prosperous scene.
Lou Jinhuan grabbed a handful of fish food and was pouring it into the pond little by little when red koi carps swarmed up, looking quite happy.
The footsteps gradually approached, and when she turned her head on the bridge, she saw a tall man who looked like her walking slowly.
When he got close, the man stopped, looked at her blankly for a while, then knelt down and saluted excitedly, "I have seen the Queen Mother——"
Lou Jinhuan stepped forward to help him up, "Brother, there are no outsiders here. It doesn't have to be like this between you and me, brother and sister."
There was a faint glint in Lou Jinming's eyes. He licked his lips and wanted to say something, but he held it back.
Seeing this, Lou Jinhuan turned his head and said to the palace maid and eunuch behind him: "Everyone, go down. The Ai family wants to talk to my brother."
"yes."
The people retreated to the rockery in the distance, and they could not hear a word spoken by Lou Jinhuan and Lou Jinming normally.
Lou Jinming relaxed and said to Lou Jinhuan with emotion: "I've lost weight."
"Why are you like dad?"
Lou Jinhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I caught the cold a few days ago, so I lost a little weight."
"Your hands...let me see them."
Lou Jinming's eyes showed anxious worry, Lou Jinhuan raised his hand, "It's nothing, I haven't had much pain in the past few days, it's just a little itchy."
"Are you stupid? Why are you saving him? Is he more important than you?" Lou Jinming became very angry when he thought about how he got this injury.
"Brother, this is why I called you here." Lou Jinhuan grabbed Lou Jinming's hand with his backhand and whispered, "Did you read the letter and did as I asked?"
Lou Jinming looked solemn and nodded: "I secretly mobilized three thousand elite soldiers to run day and night. We will reach the capital soon."
Lou Jin laughed happily: "That's good. The glory and wealth of you, me and the Duke of Fu are all on these three thousand people."
Lou Jinming was puzzled, "What exactly do you want these three thousand people to do?"
Lou Jinhuan waved to him, and Lou Jinming leaned over to listen. After listening for a moment, his expression changed. He remembered that someone was watching, so he barely held back, and asked in a low voice: "Why?"
"Brother will know by then. I won't harm you. Do you believe me?"
Lou Jinhuan looked at Lou Jinming intently. Lou Jinming was silent for a long time, raised his hand to remove the petals from her hair, and said with a relieved smile: "I am your brother."
No need to say more, five words are enough.
Lou Jinhuan smiled: "Then let's wait and see."
…
For three days in a row, both the court and the central government were extremely busy. The war started in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to send food and herbs. The little emperor moved from everywhere without touching the ground. He issued countless imperial edicts and summoned different ministers in a day, and he was quick to talk.
It's worn out.
In comparison, Jinhuan downstairs is much more leisurely. He soaks in the sun every day to recuperate, as if he has nothing to do with the world.
I don't know if he was feeling unbalanced, but on the evening of the fourth day, the little emperor drunkenly opened Lou Jinhuan's door.
At that time, Lou Jinhuan was leaning on the couch reading a book. When he heard the movement and glanced up, he saw the little emperor's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were wandering, and he was swaying this way and that.
Lou Jinhuan: "?"
Her questioning eyes fell on Lu Bai's face behind him.
Lu Bai laughed bitterly and said, "Empress Dowager, your Majesty just summoned the ministers to discuss matters. Seeing that it was already getting late, he left you all to have a meal. I was persuaded to have a glass of wine during the dinner, and that's it after finishing it. I really just drank one glass."
Lou Jinhuan: "...He is such a young child, and if he wants to drink, you just let him do whatever he wants?"
Before Lu Bai could defend himself, the little emperor suddenly stood up straight and said seriously: "I am no longer a child. Why do you still look at me like this, queen mother?"
