Back at the Daming Palace, the Ministry of War calculated the merits and found that Long Chen had been canonized and other generals had been rewarded, especially Gongsun Linglong. For the sake of Lao Zhuguo, he was given even more rewards.
Afterwards, there was a banquet, where the king and his ministers celebrated the pacification of the northern territory together.
After the banquet, Long Chen took a bath and changed clothes in Qiuxing Palace, and then entered Fengming Palace.
Emperor Lingyi had arrived a long time ago and was acting coquettishly in the Empress's arms.
If the Empress and Emperor Lingyi were dressed differently for different occasions, outsiders would definitely think that they were sisters instead of mother and daughter.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
Long Chen bowed deeply.
"Sit down, you're welcome."
The empress hugged the emperor's instrument and smiled.
Long Chen looked around awkwardly. Apart from the wooden couch, there was no place to sit... Then he could only...
Long Chen slowly sat down on the couch, and the empress didn't mind. However, Emperor Lingyi was naughty, stretched out a jade leg, kicked Long Chen, and said, "Who asked you to sit with the empress."
The empress patted Di Lingyi's jade leg and said with a smile: "Then where do you want him to sit?"
Di Lingyi chuckled and said: "Sit on the ground, he likes to sit on the ground."
Long Chen secretly thought: When you are not here, your mother and I will be here xx...
"Stop making trouble and get up."
Emperor Lingyi got up from the Empress's arms and sat on the other side.
"I heard that we saw the living dead again in the barbarian holy mountain?"
The empress' face was very serious and she stopped laughing and joking.
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, the wolf god they worship is the living dead. I heard that it has been for hundreds of years."
The empress nodded slightly and said in a solemn tone: "Liangxi Village appeared last time, and this time it appeared in Buhan Mountain, and it has been hundreds of years..."
"Are there any other places?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "Wei Chen carefully asked the leaders of the barbarians, and they said there is only that one place."
"However, the barbarian desert is frozen with ice and snow all year round, and I am still worried, especially outside the Hera Pass. No one has set foot there, so I don't know what's going on."
"So, Wei Chen asked Tu Zhi to send some cavalry to patrol the Hera Pass. If anything is wrong, tell us immediately."
The empress said: "You've done a good job, but that's all you can do for the time being. If a monster really appears, I'm afraid..."
Speaking of this, Di Lingyi was still a little scared.
"Mother, that thing is so powerful. My sword can't cut off its head."
"The same goes for Long Chengen's sword. It was such a sharp black sword, but it was broken by that thing's arm."
The empress nodded slightly and said: "There were some rumors before, but it has been so long that I thought they were ghost legends..."
Emperor Lingyi asked in surprise: "Mother, do you know?"
The empress smiled and said, "I always thought it was fake based on what I saw in the book."
"Okay, please step back first. I want to discuss something with Long Chengen."
Emperor Lingyi looked reluctant and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother...Why can he be here? He is a bad person..."
The empress glanced at Long Chen and said, "For military matters, please step aside first."
Emperor Lingyi stood up reluctantly, bowed before leaving Fengming Palace and returned to his North Palace.
"What did you do to my daughter?"
The empress asked coldly.
Long Chen immediately said: "Nothing, how dare I do anything to the princess..."
The empress sneered: "Lingyi said you were bad. Did she wrong you?"
Long Chen couldn't argue, he could only laugh and said: "Wei Chen is a eunuch, it is his duty to serve the princess."
"How did you serve me? Give it to me too."
The empress lay on her side, wearing only a thin purple gauze dress with a black silk bellyband underneath.
Although Long Chen invented the breastplate, it has to be said that the bellyband has more charm and looks more tempting.
"Huh? You don't want to?"
The empress leaned on the pillow and turned her head to look at Long Chen.
"How dare you? It is the duty of a humble minister to serve the Holy One."
There were times when Long Chen felt itchy without playing the Empress anymore.
After getting on the royal couch, Long Chen sat on his lap and skillfully took off the gauze jacket outside, leaving only a black silk bellyband.
Long Chen started to press like this, starting from the cervical vertebrae, and pinching down along both sides of the spine... The empress closed her eyes and enjoyed it.
After pinching her back, the empress turned over again, and Long Chen continued to massage her from head to toe...
"Now that the northern border has been pacified, what else do you have planned?"
The empress' voice was soft. When Long Chen exerted force, his voice was a little trembling. Hearing it, Long Chen wished he could...
"What is the will of the Holy Spirit?"
Long Chen wanted to find an opportunity to start a war against Xixia. After destroying Xixia, he would then start a war against Nanliang.
"I ask what you mean."
The empress closed her eyes, completely relaxed her whole body, and allowed Long Chen's fingers to pinch her at will.
"Although the northern border has been pacified, the internal affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not at peace. The ministers want to stabilize the internal affairs first."
"What's the meaning?"
The internal affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to be very good. The ministers in the court and the central government were all of the empress's faction, and the political power was firmly in the hands of the empress.
Long Chen commanded the military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its military strength was extremely strong.
The empress didn't understand what Long Chen meant.
"Wei Chen wants to solve the problem of Buddhism first, and then solve the problem of Tianxiahui."
"Buddhism bewitches the people of my country, and the world will control my economy. These two must be eradicated."
The empress slowly opened her eyes and said: "I heard that Mojie has been imprisoned in the dungeon. No matter how Kong Ji tried to persuade him, Mojie never listened. It seems that your plan can come true."
"Now there is a question. Mojie is imprisoned in the dungeon. How do you bring him back?"
Long Chen said: "Wei Chen has been making arrangements to bring Mojie back to Zhou Dynasty when the time is right."
The empress grabbed one of Long Chen's hands, slowly closed her eyes, and said, "What about Tianxiahui? They are big trees with deep roots, and are more difficult to deal with than Kongji. What are you going to do?"
Long Chen's hand was grabbed by the empress and put into his clothes...
"Wei Chen is still planning the affairs of the Tianxiahui, and we already have some ideas."
"The World Association can control the general trend of the world. We must be cautious when dealing with them. Once we take action, we must do it with lightning speed without making any mistakes."
Long Chen's hands were very busy... and his thoughts were a bit confused.
"To attack the Tianxiahui, we must be prepared to go to war with Xixia and Nanliang at the same time. This matter must be done with great caution."
At that time, the Tianxiahui will definitely incite troops from Xixia and Nanliang to force the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to reopen the market, and will also take away some more things.
"Wei Chen understands that this matter should be planned carefully and there can be no mistakes."
Long Chen now also knows very well what Tianxiahui is capable of.
"Um..."
After the matter was finished, the empress closed her eyes and went to sleep, while Long Chen continued to finish the matter.
An hour later, Long Chen came out of the dormitory, and Yingfeng was waiting outside.
"Is the matter finished?"
"That's it, what do you want?"
"You're heartless, don't you want to sit in my yard?"
"OK."
Long Chen hugged Yingfeng and walked towards the chamberlain.
After entering the courtyard, Long Chen carried Yingfeng into the room, closed the door, and pressed Yingfeng on the couch.
"Why are your hands so slippery? You and Your Majesty..."
Only then did Yingfeng realize that something was wrong with Long Chen's hand.
"Don't ask about His Majesty's affairs. Now is the time for the two of us."
