Everyone in the imperial study room left, not even a chamberlain was left.
This is also a treatment that only Huo Lian has.
The emperor paced indoors and stopped in front of a map hanging on the side. In the direction of the northern border, there was a shallow and inconspicuous line.
This is the Great Wall of the North.
It was marked on it before he became emperor.
However, the territory is so large and there are so many soldiers and horses, so why should we care about protection? Historically, no matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot defend against the enemy.
People are the ones who can really defend the city, and people are the ones who can destroy the city.
"In fact, I have known for a long time that Liang Si colluded with the King of Jin." The emperor said, "When I was still young."
Although he is a prince that no one cares about, he still needs to learn what he should learn.
"When I see Professor Liang Si riding a horse and shooting arrows, he is always very good at correcting King Jin's movements."
"I am someone who no one cares about, so I know best what it means to care."
"I reminded the prince at that time, but the prince didn't care."
It's okay for a Liangsi, a general in a remote place, to be more partial to a prince. As a prince, he has the orthodoxy of his direct eldest son, and he has too many concerns from a family of civil servants and military generals.
"I also feel that I have overthought it. One is Liang Si, and the other is just a prince who seems to have a better life than me because his mother and concubine are favored."
Sure enough, when the favored concubine died, the prince was driven to the fiefdom.
But who could have imagined that the prince would die in the hands of these two people in the end.
"I don't believe in the Northern Navy at all." The emperor turned around, looked at Huo Lian and said word by word, "Those are the troops and horses brought out by Liang Si. Those are the troops and horses controlled by the adopted sons of Liang Si."
Huo Lian met the emperor's gaze and nodded: "I know."
"The Beihai Navy can survive to this day, firstly, because you chopped off Liang Si's head with a knife and saved the reputation of the Beihai Navy. Secondly, I ascended the throne in a hurry. For the sake of the stability of the country, I don't want to involve too many people and trigger troops.
There is turmoil, and there are no trustworthy generals and soldiers to take over the Northern Navy." The emperor said, looking at Huo Lian, "The most important thing is that you are keeping an eye on the Northern Navy for me, and I believe in you."
Huo Lian kowtowed and then raised her head: "So please allow me to go there in person and see what it's like there."
The emperor looked at him and said in a slow voice: "Go and have a look over there. If the Great Northern Wall is not as important as they say, let the Great Northern Wall disappear together with the Northern Navy. If the Great Northern Wall is really important, then keep it.
Follow it and let the North Navy disappear."
In short, after he left, the Liang generals disappeared, the troops were dispersed and re-deployed, and the title of the Northern Navy no longer existed in the world.
Huo Lian lowered her head and touched it on the cold floor: "I obey your order."
…
…
Huo Lian walked out of the imperial study, and the emperor also stopped today's political affairs and stopped meeting officials and went back to the palace to rest.
"Captain, are you really going to the north?" Zhu Chuan was waiting outside and asked anxiously.
Huo Lian nodded: "Your Majesty agreed."
Zhu Chuan rubbed his hands happily again: "Then I'll pack my things. It's been a long time since I've walked such a long way."
Huo Lian looked at him and said, "You don't have to go. If you stay in the capital, the Ducha Division cannot be without people, and the Emperor cannot be without people."
Zhu Chuan was stunned for a moment and understood, but he still lowered his eyebrows, full of reluctance and a bit uneasy. He had often accompanied Huo Lian in the past, but after all, Huo Lian was not far away and could be found at any time.
It is not possible to go back and forth to the North in one or two days.
"Can I do it?" he whispered, "I'm just a horse slave. I followed you into the capital, the governor, and I'm literate. Sometimes I can't understand what is said in court."
Huo Lian smiled: "You don't need to understand what is being said, as long as you know how to be a horse slave, it is enough."
He reached out and patted Zhu Chuan on the shoulder.
"Just be the emperor's horse slave."
Zhu Chuan seemed to understand, but he also knew that no one could change Huo Lian's decision. He rubbed his nose and said, "I have never left the young master since I was assigned to be his slave."
Maybe it was the northern border that brought back old memories, so Zhu Chuan couldn't help but use the old name.
The word "gongzi" slipped lightly from the tip of the tongue and disappeared the next moment.
"...Commander, don't let me accompany you in the imperial city. Let me pack your travel luggage."
This is what the hostess should do, but of course Miss Wanwan will not pay attention to it.
Speaking of Miss Wanwan.
"What about Miss Wanwan?"
Zhu Chuan's expression was even more nervous. This was what made him more nervous than his companion.
"Are you going to take her with you?"
That's the North, where Miss Wanwan grew up, but can Miss Wanwan withstand this stimulation? Stepping onto that land will make her already broken spirit even more broken.
Huo Lian was about to say something when she looked up and saw a person standing on the road to the front hall. His figure was slender under the light of the palace lantern.
It's Liu Yan.
Huo Lian waved her hand to Zhu Chuan, and Zhu Chuan backed away.
"Master Liu, what do you have to say to me?" Huo Lian walked over and asked directly.
Liu Yan looked at him and asked, "Have you and Qixing known each other before?"
Huo Lian said: "She is a Mo disciple. I, Huo Lian, almost killed the entire Mo sect. Of course I know her."
It seemed that he said something but said nothing. Liu Yan did not ask further questions and said, "She is the daughter of my old friend."
Huo Lian still looked calm and was not touched by his frankness at all. She said calmly: "Master Liu has an old relationship with Master Mo. We have known about it for a long time, but it's just that we haven't used it yet."
When necessary, they will inform the emperor of his details. Liu Yan did not care about the meaning of his words and continued: "I never think that Momen is innocent, but I think that Momen's weapons are innocent."
Therefore, please ask Governor Huo to take care of her so that she can successfully repair the Great Wall of the North."
Hearing this, Huo Lian smiled and said, "It seems that you don't understand your old friend's daughter. Do you think she needs someone to take care of her?"
After saying that, he strode past Liu Yan and left.
Her? Not only does she not need it, but she often arranges for others to do things, Liu Yan thought, looking at Huo Lian's back, he frowned again and said he didn't understand her? What, do you know her very well?
…
…
"Huo Lian is also going to the north?"
That night, Liu Yan thought for a while and asked his entourage to go to Linglongfang to tell Shopkeeper Lu and others that Huo Lian was going to the north.
Qingzhi was surprised and uneasy after hearing this: "Is this good or bad?"
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head and said: "There is nothing good about Du Cha Si traveling."
Either the family is destroyed or the family is wiped out.
There were bandits and abandoned disciples of the Mo clan along the way, and now there is the Du Cha Si, who is watching with eager eyes. The young lady's trip to the northern border is more difficult than imagined.
"It may not be a good thing for the Bei Navy." Gao Xiaoliu's voice sounded. He sat crookedly on his chair and touched his chin, "But it is a good thing for Miss Qixing."
Shopkeeper Lu and Qing Zhi both looked at him. Originally, they were wary of Huixian Tower, but before Qixing left, they told him that they didn't need to hide anything from Gao Xiaoliu, so they immediately called Gao Xiaoliu after getting Liu Yan's news.
"At least all the gangsters, fake officers and soldiers, and the scum of the Mo clan have restrained themselves from going out." Gao Xiaoliu said with a smile.
Qing Pheasant and Shopkeeper Lu nodded, their expressions improved a lot.
"Don't worry, everyone, Xiao Xiaoxiao's obstruction is nothing to Miss Qixing." Gao Xiaoliu sat up straight, "The key next step is us."
They? Qing Pheasant and Shopkeeper Lu looked at him.
"Money." Gao Xiaoliu stretched out both hands, "Miss Qixing can repel all kinds of attacks, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Everyone is gathered together, and nothing can be repaired without money."
Shopkeeper Lu was a little amused and nodded with a smile.
Qing Pheasant pouted: "Then it all depends on you, Mr. Gao."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here." Gao Xiaoliu patted the table and said, "I don't care about anything else, I just focus on the money."
Speaking of which, he looked at Shopkeeper Lu again.
"But you also need to open the commercial road in the west hall. If there is a problem here, I have to go through your side."
Shopkeeper Lu nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, we are also ready."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Gao Xiaoliu said with a smile, "I feel confident about myself, and I feel even more confident about Miss Qixing's Linglongfang work."
Although he said this, Gao Xiaoliu sighed all the way back in the night.
"Sir, are there any other dangers?" the boy asked nervously, "Don't hold on alone, tell us and let's find a solution together."
Gao Xiaoliu shook his head and sighed: "I can't help it, I can't help it. I'm not that bastard. I can do whatever I want without restraint."
The boy's heart was in his throat again, something had reached the point where he couldn't do anything about it!
Also, who is that bitch?
…
…
It was late at night, and the maids and maids in Duchasi's inner house had all retired, but the lights were not extinguished and were still bright.
"Captain, it's all packed." Zhu Chuan was carrying two large bags. Although he still had a lot to say, he couldn't hold them anymore.
Huo Lian had already changed into her pajamas and hummed.
Liang Siwan sat aside, holding cards in her hand, but instead of playing cards as before, she looked straight at Huo Lian.
Zhu Chuan whispered, "Then I'll load the car first." After that, he hurriedly left.
There were only two of them left in the room.
"So." Liang Siwan looked at Huo Lian and said, "After waiting for so many years, you will finally chop off other people's heads."
The emperor indeed meant this, Huo Lian lowered his eyes and nodded.
Liang Siwan threw the cards in her hand and laughed: "It's great, everyone is finally going to die, and it's all gone."
Although she laughed as usual when she heard about death, this time there was no smile in Liang Siwan's eyes.
Huo Lian looked at the flying flower cards and said, "I took the initiative to say I wanted to go."
He never talked about the Northern Territory before, he just waited for the day when the emperor was no longer willing to wait and ordered him to go.
He had never thought before that he would ask for this day.
And when he heard the emperor express his intention, he actually had no thoughts, no confusion, no ups and downs of any other emotions, he was very calm, and even a little... impatient.
Because when I look ahead, it seems that there is more than just a dead end.
"I won't take you with me." Huo Lian took down the cards that fell on her shoulders and smiled at Liang Siwan, "You wait at home and wait until we are all dead before you die."
