When the woman in white said this sentence, her eyes became a little wandering.
Xin Yan nodded awkwardly. Just because of these few words, such a careless person like him suddenly felt depressed.
The most difficult period actually didn't last long.
When their father Xie Lian and his family struggled to survive in a remote place, Xin Yanque was not yet born, but the woman in white had already experienced it.
Their father was directly promoted to the throne of emperor from a poor man.
Then he turned into a puppet at the mercy of others, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and making the most beautiful string puppet in the world. Only their family understood the feeling.
They saw the methods of those powerful officials and the bloody storm in Geling City.
Why did the later eldest brother Xie Fuwei attack other members of the royal family so harshly? Because for a long time, the people who wanted to kill their family the most were precisely those members of the royal family.
In order to protect Xin Yanque and the woman in white, Xie Fuwei tried his best.
"Now that my eldest brother is going to Yunyou, he is just trying to do his best to see how strong Lou Fan is."
The woman in white whispered: "Brother, for this family, for this Central Plains..."
Speaking of this, she was already a little unable to speak.
"So it's natural for little Ye Zi to get everything!"
Xin Yanque suddenly said this.
The woman in white hummed.
Xin Yanque said: "Sister, you go ahead. Don't worry about family matters. Take good care of little Ye Zi."
The woman in white stood up and said: "I came back just to say goodbye to you. This time I go to Yunzhou and I won't be able to come back for a long time, and I won't be able to see you for a long time..."
As she spoke, she opened her arms: "Come, give me a hug."
Xin Yanque shook his head: "I don't."
The woman in white frowned, and Xin Yanque immediately approached her.
The woman in white hugged him, then reached out and rubbed his head vigorously for a while, making Xin Yanque's originally regular hairstyle look like a chicken coop.
After she finished, she walked away laughing.
Xin Yanque ran his hand through his messy hair and muttered, "It's really unfair. I've tried hard, but I still can't beat you."
The woman in white turned back and said, "I'm older than you. You can beat me again when I can't walk anymore..."
Xin Yanque: "I will carry you."
The woman in white was startled, then laughed.
Like a bright spring breeze.
"My eldest brother looks cold and ruthless, but that's just a look. If he wasn't like that, he wouldn't be able to save our family."
The woman in white pointed to her heart: "Everyone in our family actually has a flower in their heart."
She pointed to the sky again: "Born toward the sun."
Xin Yanque nodded vigorously.
The woman in white left, and it would be a long, long time before she came back. The siblings didn't know when they would see each other next time, but Xin Yanque didn't always see her off.
He was afraid that he would cry.
I'm so old, how can I still cry?
On a smaller scale, their struggles and efforts over the years are for this family; on a larger scale, their hard work and game over the years are for the entire Central Plains.
There are flowers and trees in the heart, growing toward the sun.
The flowers and trees in their hearts are each other, Xiao Yezi, and thousands of people in the Central Plains.
So Xin Yanque knew that his sister was wrong. The three brothers and sisters did not each have a flower in their hearts, but each of them had a large garden in their hearts.
dungeon.
Lin Ye held the brush and scribbled on the paper. He did not write down every word of Zong Zheng Shiquan's words, only the most critical points.
At this time, Zong Zheng Shiquan was like a soulless robot. Lin Ye asked questions quickly and answered questions quickly. It seemed that there was only the conversation between two people in the cell.
But from the beginning to the end, the great monk who chanted sutras in a low voice did not stop for a moment.
After two full hours, Lin Ye finally stopped writing.
He stopped asking, not because there was no problem, but because he knew that such consumption was a bit drastic for Zong Zheng Shiquan.
If Zong Zhengshiquan is not allowed to rest for a while, he may die of exhaustion before long.
If two people are chatting, let alone two hours, even if they chat for a whole day and a night, they will certainly not be exhausted.
But Zong Zhengshiquan is not chatting freely now, he is controlled by the great monk.
Besides, even if Zong Zheng Shiquan doesn't need to rest, the two great monks who have been chanting sutras and suppressing Zong Zheng Shiquan's true self should still take a break.
"Thank you two masters."
Lin Ye stood up and saluted with clasped fists, and the two great monks leaned slightly to respond.
Lin Ye left with a thick stack of papers. Zong Zheng Shiquan had told him enough secrets about Lou Fan.
About one-fifth of this thick stack of papers is about the Loutai family.
At first glance, it seems that the Loutai family is just the secret guard behind Emperor Lou Fan, but in fact, this family is the fundamental reason why Lou Fan will not be in turmoil.
As long as the Loutai family is not in turmoil, it is impossible for Lou Fan to be in turmoil.
This family is the exclusive guard of the emperor. Whoever becomes the emperor is equivalent to possessing unparalleled power.
Because of this, Lin Ye concluded that it was impossible for the person named Loutai Mingyu to come to save Zong Zheng Shiquan.
If Lin Ye were a towering jade, he wouldn't be able to save her either.
When Lin Ye left, the great monk who was chanting sutras was obviously a little tired, and his face looked slightly pale. The great monk who was responsible for suppressing Zong Zhengshiquan's self was not much relaxed either. Both of them seemed to have recovered.
It feels like I haven't slept in several days.
After a while, one of the great monks suddenly made a very simple sound softly.
"Ah!"
The voice was very soft, but it seemed to have some kind of magic power. It was like a thunder exploded in Zong Zheng Shiquan's mind, and Zong Zheng Shiquan suddenly recovered.
There was clarity in his eyes that had been lost for two hours, and the moment he recovered, his face immediately became extremely tired, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.
The two great monks nodded slightly towards him and without saying anything else, slowly exited the cell and sat down cross-legged at the door, one on the left and one on the right, like two sculptures.
Zong Zheng Shiquan didn't see Lin Ye after he woke up, and of course he couldn't remember what he had just experienced.
But he knew that he was now a sinner of the Lou Fan Empire.
At this moment, in the eyes of this extremely tired human emperor, there was a sadness so intense that it could not be diluted.
I... am a sinner.
Zong Zheng Shiquan slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
There is sadness everywhere in this world.
Service office.
Ning Weimo is back, together with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
Yunzhou was indeed fast enough, so fast that even though he had already sat in the office and drank three cups of tea, Ning Weimo felt that he still had his soul floating outside and could not catch up.
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has already entered the palace. Logically speaking, Ning Weimo should also enter the palace to report to His Majesty the war in southern Xinjiang.
But before he arrived at Zhenyuan Palace, he was stopped by the chamberlain sent by Gu Xiujin. Gu Xiujin said that His Majesty hoped that he would make preparations for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible. There was no need to report the war in southern Xinjiang because His Majesty was already aware of it.
Returning to the office, Ning Weimo was in a daze for a while, probably waiting for the soul floating behind to fly back, or maybe wondering why this Yunzhou could be so magical.
It wasn't the first time he sat down, it was the second time, but he still felt that his feet were off the ground for too long, which felt very bad.
"Lord Zaifu."
The second assistant, Yao Xinyuan, brought over a thick pile of files and put them down: "These are the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue in the past two years. I have gone through most of them. These need to be reviewed by Mr. Zaifu personally."
Ning Weimo nodded and asked directly: "After these two years of cultivation, can the imperial court be able to withstand the Northern Expedition?"
Yao Xinyuan was silent.
If you don't answer, you will answer. It seems that you can't hold on.
Having just experienced the Battle of Southern Xinjiang, the general's courageous march southward took less than a year to put down the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang, which was equivalent to reducing the immense pressure on the imperial court.
If this war really goes on for at least two years as planned, it may defeat the treasury so much that even rats won’t want to settle down.
"It's been a war all these years."
Zhao Miaoxin, the second assistant, said: "The money that can be used by the treasury now can last for half a year if it supports an army of 300,000 people, and two months at most if it supports an army of 500,000 people."
The money that can be used means that it will not hurt other things.
Ning Weimo asked: "Let's think about other things first. Can we move some of them over?"
Zhao Miaoxin and Yao Xinyuan looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
It's not that you can't move it, but you don't dare to. If the spare money is moved, the court may be just one small thing away from bankruptcy.
"Two adults."
Ning Weimo said: "I had a careful chat with General Ning Haitang in southern Xinjiang. She said that a batch of grain and grass can be transferred from Guzhu. In the past two or three years, Guzhu has been peaceful and the harvest is good."
Yao Xinyuan said: "That's much better."
Zhao Miaoxin asked: "Can we recruit another batch from Dongbo?"
Ning Weimo said: "Then it seems too much to bully others. The fight was at someone else's house, and they were beaten to pieces. You still want to eat their food?"
Zhao Miaoxin sighed: "It would be easier to talk about if Dongbo could be turned into Dayu Prefecture."
Ning Weimo said: "Whether Dongbo will become a state in Dayu depends on how the Northern Expedition goes."
Zhao Miaoxin said: "We captured Zong Zheng Shiquan alive. This is a great blessing that has not happened in two hundred years. But if this happens, the Loufan people will fight this battle with all their strength..."
Ning Weimo said: "The greatest blessing that Dayu has experienced in two hundred years is not that he captured Zongzheng Shiquan, but that he gave birth to a Supreme Saint."
If it hadn't been for the twenty years of hard work of the Supreme Saint King, Dayu might have been like a hollow and rotten tree. If the wind was strong, it would suddenly collapse.
The Supreme Sage spent twenty years of hard work to rescue Dayu, a giant tree that was about to collapse.
Nowadays, a genius like General Lin Ye has emerged. This is Dayu's good fortune.
If not, even if Emperor Loufan was captured by Dayu, Dayu might choose to send him back politely after thinking for a long time.
At least, more than 20 years ago, Dayu did not dare to think of attacking Lou Fan.
"You have to fight this battle even if you tighten your belt, and you have to tighten your belly even if you tighten your belly!"
Ning Weimo stood up, glanced at everyone in the office and said: "Everyone can imagine that this battle is inevitable. We are His Majesty's stewards. How the General fights, and whether he can fight happily depends on whether we can.
Everything is planned.”
"Withstanding the offensive of the Loufan people in the first three months, it is a good opportunity for the general to send his troops north. If the Northern Expedition succeeds this time, Dayu will usher in a prosperous age that has not been seen in two hundred years!"
He cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, we can all see you."
The two assistant ministers and a group of ministers clasped their fists at the same time: "This is a great blessing for us!"
