After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

"Your Majesty..." Lu Yanchen called out.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at Lu Yanchen and sweat broke out on her forehead.

Lu Yanchen frowned slightly and looked at Ye Qinghuai worriedly.

"I've been too tired recently, and I'm always lost in thought." Ye Qinghuai smiled and wiped his forehead, then said seriously, "By the way, after your husband recovers from his injury, he will participate in the court meeting. I mentioned your resignation in the morning today.

Regarding the matter, from now on, sir, I will come to court as an official of Taiqing Pavilion."

Lu Yanchen hesitated for a moment, but quickly accepted. He lowered his head and said, "Wei Chen accepts the order."

——

At night, I went to Sanfang and found my house.

The door of the study room was closed tightly, and there were two soldiers with guns standing at the door. They looked straight and stood upright. The courtyard was silent, the lights in the room were bright, and the yellow window paper reflected two people standing and one sitting.

film.

"Yinshi, I want to remind you again. If you do this, you will have no way out." The person sitting was none other than He Qingchang, Minister of the Ministry of War. He looked at Zhao Yinshi, who was standing in front of him wearing soft armor.

The dancing candlelight reflected in his eyes.

Zhao Yinshi nodded and said: "Thank you, Lord He, for your advice. The general has made up his mind."

He has a tall figure and a long face with sharp edges and corners. His starry eyes are downcast and very respectful.

He Qingchang sighed softly and said: "From now on, you don't want to come to my place."

After being ordered to be expelled, Zhao Yinshi stood still. He hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Master He has done a good job today, and he will repay you in the future."

He Qingchang chuckled and said: "We still don't know who will win, but are you so sure that there will be a day when you need to speak for me in front of His Majesty?"

Although he was smiling, his tone was serious. Zhao Yinshi immediately knelt down and said, "The general will not dare."

He Qingchang withdrew his power and sighed: "I can't say for sure, maybe that day will come. You won this bet. Your Majesty is indeed very different from before. If you hadn't told me that day

Regarding the secret decree, I am afraid that I will be dismissed from my post and grounded like Luo Zichang at this moment. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this."

He sat at the table, with his back slightly hunched over, thoughtful, like an old man who was waning and weak.

Zhao Yinshi saw his expression wavering, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, why don't you join the general..."

He Qingchang immediately interrupted him and said angrily: "Be careful what you say!"

He glared at Zhao Yinshi angrily, as if to seal his words with his eyes.

But Zhao Yinshi seemed to be determined and persuaded him to the end: "Sir, you have witnessed what happened in the past few days with your own eyes. Your Majesty is so strategic and courageous that he will become a great hero in the future. It is the duty of a minister to protect your Majesty.

Moreover, Your Majesty is very thirsty for talents now. Mr. Guge insists on going his own way, why should I accompany him?"

"What do you know?" He Qingchang's usually calm eyes finally showed fluctuations. He looked at Zhao Yinshi, his eyes seemed to be ignited with fire, "Although His Majesty has great ambitions, he is still just a fledgling. Shengjing and even

Most of the entire Kyushu army is in the hands of Old Guge, do you know what this means? In this world, whoever holds the military power has the final say!"

His expression gradually calmed down and he said: "Yinshi, you and I are in different positions. Your transfer to the imperial army is just a change of management for one of the nine gates in Gyeonggi. But if I turn to your majesty, Mr. Gu Ge will be able to do it tomorrow

Get rid of me, the Minister of War."

"Sir..." Zhao Yinshi called out hesitantly.

"Do you know why the Ministry of Rites was in such chaos a few years ago? It was because His Majesty and Mr. Gu Ge were fighting, and the Ministry of Rites became a battlefield. Shi Taiping, the Minister of Rites, was dismissed from his post and exiled, and more than half of the entire Ministry of Rites was abolished. In that month, the Ministry of Rites

Basically paralyzed.”

He Qingchang frowned slightly, his mouth tightened, his eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "I will never let my military department become like this."

Zhao Yinshi looked at him, stunned for a moment.

He has never seen He Qingchang look like this, and he has never heard He Qingchang say so many words in a row. Although He Qingchang is half of his master, in fact, many times, he cannot see through He Qingchang at all.

What on earth is Qing Chang thinking?

"Beidi has been gathering momentum for more than ten years, and there must be action this spring. The civil war in Jinchuan subsided last year, and a new owner has been changed. It will invade our territory within the next two years. The Ministry of War must not have trouble like the Ministry of Rites at this time. Something went wrong in Chunwei, and Shang

You can try again. But if the territory is lost, it will be difficult to get it back. Once the war horses of the foreign race are allowed to set foot on the land of Da Jing, the fate of the country will be in danger."

He seemed to be speaking to Zhao Yinshi, but also seemed to be mumbling to himself.

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yinshi who was kneeling on the ground, smiled slightly, and said: "Yinshi, your duty as a minister is to provide peace to the country first."

There was a kind of determination and relief in his eyes that he was willing to face the danger.

——

On March 17th, the palace is in peace.

Ye Qinghuai arrived at Yichun Palace early in the morning.

Everything in the palace was filled with mournful white. She was the only one wearing black clothes, looking abrupt and solemn.

As a rule, unless it is the funeral of the Queen Mother, even if the Queen passes away in the harem, the Emperor cannot be allowed to wear sackcloth and show mourning.

But her mood was far heavier than those of the palace servants in sackcloth.

Maybe except Qin Yang.

He followed Ye Qinghuai, raising his hands to wipe his eyes from time to time.

The whole house was dressed in white, but he was the only one who truly wore sackcloth.

Throughout the ceremony, Ye Qinghuai did not say a word.

Amidst the sounds of monks and magicians chanting sutras and praying, she sat alone with her eyes closed, her posture upright.

But it didn't take long for this calm to be broken.

There were faint shouts outside Yichun Palace.

"I ask to see Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to make the decision..."

Ye Qinghuai opened his eyes and said to Li Baoquan behind him: "Go and see what's going on."

Li Baoquan responded and left.

Not long after, he came back.

"Your Majesty, it is Liu Chunming, the attendant of the Shenxing Department, who is seeking to see you. He said that he has been greatly wronged and wants the spirit of Empress Lan to make the decision for him." Li Baoquan said, paused, and then added, "It is Empress Lan.

On the day of his death, the chief officer whom Your Majesty saw in the Sentence Department has now been demoted one level and is now a waiter."

"Is it him? Who wronged him?"

Li Baoquan lowered his head and said, "I didn't say that. If I ask him, he will cry for his mother and ask to see His Majesty."

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while and said, "Bring him to the yard."

This Liu Chunming looked very different from the last time she saw him in the Criminal Punishment Department. If Li Baoquan hadn't mentioned it, Ye Qinghuai wouldn't have known it was him.

He was wearing a white singlet without a waistband, and his sleeves were in tatters and stained with coagulated blood. He was unkempt, and he stumbled as he walked, almost as if he had been helped in.

As soon as he saw Ye Qinghuai, his eyes buried in thatch-like hair suddenly lit up. He knelt down with a plop in the middle of the yard, kowtowed to Ye Qinghuai and said, "Please make the decision for me, Your Majesty!"
