The last time Xiang Yun read out the imperial edict for Chu's wife to leave the capital for Linzhou outside the capital, although Li Minglou accepted it, it could be said that he threw it aside and ignored it.
The imperial court also ignored this matter. Not only that, it also ignored Mrs. Chu's claim that she had the imperial seal given by the late emperor.
As if nothing had happened, the news sent by Li Mingyu was that the court ostensibly acknowledged what Mrs. Chu said, but in fact the officials concluded that the emperor's seal was genuine, but was lost when fleeing the capital.
It was picked up first by Ankangshan and then by Madam Chu.
The reason why the emperor did not tell the truth was to prevent Cui Zheng from taking responsibility, because it was Cui Zheng who was responsible for keeping the important weapons of the country.
When he heard this, Li Minglou laughed, admiring the emperor and Cui Zheng for finding such an explanation, and at the same time creating an image of the emperor's benevolence and the appearance of the monarch and his ministers, turning disadvantages into advantages.
Of course, the emperor and Cui Zheng could guess that they must be angry with Mrs. Chu, but they had no choice but to pretend as if nothing had happened.
But it doesn't really mean that nothing has happened.
"We can't go to Songzhou!"
When they heard that Li Minglou had received the imperial edict and was going to Songzhou to meet the Holy Spirit, Yuan Ji, who was chasing Ande Zhong outside, hurried back.
"It stands to reason that after learning that Ankang Mountain has been conquered and that you, Miss, are not in the capital, Your Majesty and the others should return to the capital immediately."
"But now you are asked to go to Songzhou to face the Holy Spirit first. It is obvious that you will not be allowed to return to the capital after you have gone."
Li Minglou sat leaning against the window. After listening to Yuan Ji, he looked out the window. It seemed that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching in the blink of an eye, and half of the eighth year of Cheng Yuan had passed.
Ankangshan is dead, and Wu Yaer is not far away from death.
"I don't plan to go to the capital either." She looked away and looked at Yuan Ji, "I am in the capital for the convenience of fighting the rebels. I don't want your majesty to return to the capital because I don't want to live with them. Now that Ankang Mountain is dead, the remaining rebels
The army is nothing to be afraid of."
Therefore, the capital city is no longer important to the young lady. The emperor will eventually return to the capital, and the young lady will leave.
Since it's the young lady who wants to leave, it's okay. Yuan Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, shall we go back to Huainan Road?" He frowned again, "I'm afraid that the emperor and the court don't want the young lady to go back to Huainan Road."
Huainan Road was prosperous and close to the capital. Looking at Xiang Yun's behavior, it can be imagined that the emperor and the court were wary of the young lady and did not want her to become powerful.
That's why I want the young lady to go to the remote and barren Linzhou.
Li Minglou smiled, took back his sleeves from the window railing and sat up straight: "Uncle Yuan Ji, what are you thinking about? I'm just not in the capital anymore, but I still have the final say on where to go."
She was not afraid of the emperor and would not give way to him, nor was she just a piece of meat on the chopping board.
Yuanji suddenly smiled: "I was wrong."
Li Minglou said: "I haven't decided where to go next..."
Yuan Ji said: "Miss, think slowly about where you want to go."
"I want to go to Wu Ya'er first in the next two years." Li Minglou said.
Yuan Ji choked when he laughed, who? Where? Wu Ya'er? Why?
"The place where Wu Ya'er is, actually belongs to the young lady." He spoke emphatically and reasonedly, "Even if the young lady doesn't go, there will be no loss, and there won't be much benefit if she does."
It is better to spend time and effort on a new place and brand it as the lady of Chu.
"Uncle Yuanji, I know." Li Minglou smiled, "I just..."
She just wanted to stay by Wu Ya'er's side to see if she could change his fate. Even if she couldn't change his fate, she would be by his side before she died to make him feel more at ease.
But there was no way to say this, and she didn't want to tell Yuan Ji what happened after she was reborn. It wasn't because she was afraid that he wouldn't believe it because it was unbelievable. Li Minglou had a guess.
The reason why Yuan Ji and Han Xu, who had survived after being changed by her, were in good health, but she was cursed by heaven to be burned by fire, struck by lightning, and had her flesh rotting, was because she was an insider, she had seen through the secrets, and it was she who had changed other people, other people
It is passive and unaware.
"Let him and his mother be reunited and spend more time together." Li Minglou said, "Look, this situation cannot be solved by the rebels in a year or two."
Yes, it seems not. Yuanji didn't know what to say. He tried hard to think of a reason: "It would be good for Miss Wu to spend more time with Governor Wu."
Yes, Li Minglou smiled and nodded: "Has he received a letter?"
"I just came here ten days ago. I said that the Shi Dynasty proclaimed himself emperor, took in a group of rebels from Fanshan, and added a new level of checkpoint outside Yunzhou." Yuanji said, "Didn't the lady write to him and tell him to stay there?
Announcing the news that Ande Zhongya has proclaimed himself emperor."
Of course, where Ande Zhong's rebels retreated, Li Minglou also announced the news that Shi Chao had proclaimed himself emperor. Both Shi Chao and Ande Zhong accused each other of murdering Ankang Mountain and usurping the throne, while themselves inherited the throne of Emperor Wu...
It was the same as in the previous life, except this time they were allowed to fight for a while, and the 80,000 soldiers and horses in Ankang Mountain were divided and weakened.
"Jiang Liang said that although he didn't tell Xiang Nan, Xiang Nan also said in western Zhejiang that Ande, Zhong, and Qingzhong were all killed by Shi Chao, and now Shi Chao is the emperor."
Of course a cunning person like Xiang Nan would do this. Li Minglou didn't want to pay attention to it, and wrote with a smile: "I will write to Wu Ya'er and say that I will go to see His Majesty first, and Mrs. Wu will stay in Taiyuan Mansion, and then I will come back and bring you
Let's go find him together."
Yuan Ji said oh, just to say that his mother is here in Taiyuan Mansion and his wife is away when she goes out, so he should pay more attention to this place and help take care of the house.

Looking outside Yanmen Pass, I can see that the long grass has turned yellow, and there are eagles soaring in the sky, chasing the traces of prey. Unfortunately, soldiers and horses are constantly galloping in the wilderness, and rabbits, rats, and snakes are frightened and hiding, afraid to show up.
"Captain!"
The guard galloped up the hillside, interrupting the group of people who were facing the front to point and discuss.
"Letter from Mrs. Chu."
Wang Lidao: "Go back and then..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Ya'er had already stretched out his hand, and Xin Bing held up the letter.
Wang Li curled his lips and asked others to continue the discussion just now, "... It's not difficult to defeat Yunzhou. If you can't get through here, find another place..."
Wu Ya'er lowered his head to read the letter in the crowd, with a smile on his face.
"What's the latest news?" Wang Li asked on the way back on horseback, "Has she dealt with Ande Zhong?"
Wu Ya'er smiled and said, "It's not that fast."
"Ande Zhong doesn't have as many people as Shi Chao!" Wang Li snorted, "There's nothing serious, so what did she say? Didn't she just write the letter and come here not long ago?"
Wu Ya'er said: "His Majesty summoned her, she is going to Songzhou to face the saint."
Wang Lihaha said: "I heard that she told the court that she and you killed Ankang Mountain together! This is really a naked grab for the credit!"
"That's right." Wu Ya'er said, "Without her, we wouldn't be so successful."
Wang Ligan laughed: "I was wrong. How can Mrs. Chu say that she killed Ankang Mountain with us? It is obviously the credit of Mrs. Chu, and we are really embarrassed!"
Wu Ya'er laughed.
"I'll see how happy you will be if you go to see the Holy Spirit!" Wang Li said.
Wu Yaer whipped up his whip and urged his horse with a big smile. It was not that he was happy for her to go to see the saint, but that she said she would bring her mother to him after the interview, and then they would stay. Wherever he was, they would be there...
…
"Brother Li," Wu Ya'er said, "Our current residence needs to be tidied up."
Wang Li was stunned for a moment: "What to pack? It's pretty good."
Wu Ya'er thought about her place of residence, her food and clothing. Of course, he knew she didn't care about these, but...
"Buy two new beds."
“A bit more expensive.”

………
Mrs. Chu led the entire city's officials and people to welcome the imperial edict, and then left Taiyuan Mansion surrounded by the entire city's officials and people.
Different from the past when leading troops on expeditions in simple carriages, this time the Lady of the State of Chu entered the city with a splendid ceremonial guard. She was greeted by officials and generals all over the city, and checked into the government office. The rich local families paid their respects and gave them two congratulatory gifts... because the Lady of the State of Chu wanted to
We are going to meet the emperor, so everyone should also prepare a copy for the emperor.
In addition to people watching before and after Madam Chu's carriage, there were also a large number of businessmen following her.
Jiang Liang resold the gifts he received, and then gave the money to Yu Qian, who distributed and used it.
There are more and more places where money is needed now!
Jiang Liang looked at Yu Qian's letter and said to himself: "Everyone says that Mrs. Chu is scary, but in fact Yu Qian is the scary one. How dare you open your mouth! He really thinks that Mrs. Chu is a fairy!"
Jiang An came over on horseback and laughed when he heard these words: "What? Brother, do you think the lady is not a fairy?"
Because they were all named Jiang, Jiang Liang recognized his relatives and discussed the order of their teeth.
"Of course it's a god!" Jiang Liang said without hesitation, stroking his palms and sighing, "Brother, it's not easy for gods either!"
Jiang An laughed and pointed to the team in front: "It's time to set up camp. You can tidy up and see my wife later."
Jiang Liang responded, and saw Jiang An urging his horse to gallop forward. The team spread out in formation on the field. The camp in the middle was rising, with layers of curtains hanging down, and a copper smoked lamp with a pearl Arhat bed, a beauty screen, and a screen being carried in...
…
Li Minglou was not in the camp. She got out of the car, walked to the hillside with her bag, and looked at the maple forest in front of her, which was colorful in the sunset.
"Sure enough, it's a huge area." Bao Bao said, "There is such a scenery hidden in this valley."
The scouts who explored the road mentioned Maple Forest in their report, so Li Minglou came to take a look. It was indeed very beautiful. When he had time, he wrote a letter and drew it for Wu Ya'er so that he could also take a look.
She didn't pay much attention to scenery before, but now she sees scenery everywhere.
Until someone walks slowly in the scenery, the colorful maple forest gradually fades away, and the green-robed bamboo sticks occupy the field of vision.
Li Minglou didn't call anyone, it was useless. She looked at the monk who seemed to approach in three steps.
"Master." She took the initiative to speak first, "Are you still here to persuade me to turn back?"
The monk's face remained the same as before: "Li Minglou, would you like to come ashore?"
