Empress work daily

Chapter 49 Missing
There is not a single star in the sky, and it is a dark winter night, and the cold is oppressive.

Shang Liujia held the lotus lantern in his hand and led the way with small steps, Ji Qiang walked slowly, Huang Chang followed closely, and looked around from time to time.

After a while, Ji Qiang stopped, tightened his cloak, and looked up at the dark sky. At this moment, her mind was like this night sky where no light could be seen.Recently, something always flashed before her eyes inadvertently, sometimes, it was just a few fragmentary pictures.

The picture is fuzzy, fragmented, and not very clear.

At first, she thought she was too tired and not getting enough sleep, so she was hallucinating.

Until one afternoon a few days ago, when she was taking a nap by the window, several slightly clear scenes flashed through her mind one after another. Chained into a long line of nobles...

Those pictures never appeared in her memory, but they seemed to be the pictures she personally experienced in her previous life, very bizarre.

However, this didn't make Ji Qiang panic. The fact that she was resurrected from the dead was bizarre enough, but a few more unfamiliar and familiar scenes would not scare her.

On the contrary, Zhao Gan, who was lying on the ground, had those big eyes that could not rest in peace, deeply engraved in her mind.

……

Two days later, at the morning court again, Zhao Gan, who had a healed wound, went to Ji Qiang's side full of joy, but unexpectedly, his hot face was pressed against his cold buttocks.

Throughout the morning, Zhao Gan wondered secretly, what's the matter?The night before yesterday, I personally gave him the incomparably precious cream, and even told him "I believe in Zhao Qing", in just two days, it seemed like I didn't know him again.

Ji Qiang's indifference and disgust made Zhao Gan unable to help suspecting that everything that night was an illusion, but when he pinched himself fiercely and grinned in pain, he told himself that what happened the night before yesterday was really true. .

Zhao Gan, who was only thinking about the holy will, didn't pay attention to what was said in the early court. He only vaguely heard someone say that this year's official evaluation has been completed, that next year's budget is yet to be discussed, and that tributes from various states and places are already rushing to the country. On the way to Haojing, and so on.

At the end of the early dynasty, Xia Qiongju, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said that Polygonum, the king of southern Yunnan, had written a letter. Recently, Wu Yue was on the verge of making troubles, and made troubles in border villages and towns several times. The southwest garrison had had friction with Wu Yue's army several times.At the end of the memorandum, the King of Southern Dian said: "Wu Yue's heart will never die. I beg Your Majesty to send more troops. If there is any difficulty, I suggest that Your Majesty allow the Southwest Garrison to expand by itself."

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately rejected by Ji Hua.

What Ji Hua meant was that Polygonum, the King of Southern Dian, had ulterior motives, and just used Wu Yue as an excuse to expand the army.In the absence of a major military war on the southwest border, the imperial court would never send troops hastily.

Furthermore, if the Daliang elite army goes south, how will the safety of the key areas of Gyeonggi be ensured?What if Bei Rong takes the opportunity to cause chaos?Although King Yong and King Ji of the North have a combined force of [-] to [-] troops, anyone with a discerning eye knows that these are not enough to fight against the increasingly powerful Beirong people.For this point, Polygonum multiflorum is well aware.

Therefore, his request to send troops is false, but it is true to ask His Majesty for military power.

It is rare for the civil and military ministers to agree on one time, and they all oppose sending troops.However, there were disagreements among civil servants and generals on whether to support the expansion of the army by the king of southern Yunnan.

The military generals agreed that if this example is the same, what if King Yong, King Ji of the North, and Nanhou of Wu Town follow suit?The dominance of local military power means that the central military power has been weakened.

This case is absolutely not allowed.

Civil servants considered the long-term, and compared with other frontiers, the military strength in southern Yunnan has always been weak, so it can be increased appropriately to shock Wuyue.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and after a quiet morning, the morning came and became lively again. Zhao Qiang observed Ji Qiang's expression, but found that His Majesty didn't listen to what the officials were arguing at all. She seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact, she was already distracted. up.

Zhao Gan observed very carefully. At this time, Ji Qiang was really thinking about one thing, which was the country of Wu Yue.

Insidious and cunning, but it will do anything that is not on the table.

In the previous life, Bei Rong was able to destroy Daliang like a broken bamboo. Apart from the internal contradictions in Daliang itself and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, there was another very important reason, which was Wu Yue's "suggestions".

In Ji Qiang's memory of those three years, there were shadows of Wu Yue people everywhere, especially after the Bei Rong army broke through the city, Wu Yue people could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys of Haojing.

However, Ji Qiang couldn't find a clue as to how Wu Yue, who lived in two countries separated from Bei Rong by Lou Chi, joined hands with Bei Rong.

Her intuition told her that this was not normal.

Wu Yue seemed to be a missing part in her memory, just like the many fragments she slowly recovered were all missing.

However, no matter what, she, the entire Ji clan, and even the tens of thousands of people in Daliang, are inseparable from Wu Yue!

In this life, she seized the opportunity and did not die on the dragon bed brought into the palace by Wu Yue's spies. It was her luck, and it was Wu Yue's great misfortune!
The morning court finally came to an end in a bustling atmosphere. Ji Hua took a slow step, called Zhao Qian to her, and confidently acted as a peacemaker.She said a lot of good things for Zhao Gan, and beat Ji Qiang a lot, both openly and secretly.

Ji Qiang couldn't help but think, this is where Ji Hua will always be better than Ji Yu. No matter what happened between them, as long as there are outsiders present, she will always be a kind and amiable aunt.

Ji Qiang didn't listen carefully, Ling Lu ran in to report in a timely manner, the king of the county is back!
Ji Qiang went straight out the door without even saying hello. Ji Wei, who was full of "heartfelt words" and hadn't fully uttered them, said no, and she didn't say no, she was extremely embarrassed.

"Princess, don't be angry, Your Majesty is still young." Looking at the back of Ji Qiang walking away quickly, Zhao Qian endured an inexplicable loss in his heart, and comforted Ji Hua.

Ji Wei shook her sleeves violently, and shook her head helplessly, "If this palace is as knowledgeable as His Majesty, I would have gone to see the late emperor a long time ago... That's all, she doesn't like to listen, and I don't talk too much, both of you are clean... How is your injury?" gone?"

Zhao Gan: "There is no serious problem, Princess Xie is concerned."

Ji Hua: "Hearing that you have been humiliated by His Majesty, I am heartbroken. However, King Xia is involved. Your Majesty's so-called evidence is solid, so I am not good at interfering. You are wronged, Commander Zhao."

Zhao Gan: "It's just the pain of the flesh, it's okay."

Ji Hua: "It is said that the Princess is looking for you?"

Zhao Gan: "..."

Speaking of Ji Yu, he still feels disgusted.

Ji Hua thought he was panicked, so she said: "Although the princess is an adult, she is not much better than your majesty." At this point, she sighed deeply, as if she was very embarrassed, "No matter what she said to you Don't worry about anything."

Faced with such a warning, Zhao Qian repeatedly said yes.

When they reached Baohe Bridge, Ji Wei ordered Zhao Gan to stop, and before leaving, he did not forget to throw him a treasure. Zhao Gan looked down and saw that it was cream again.

Zhao Qian hurriedly saluted and thanked, but secretly laughed in his heart, he would not send him off sooner or later, he insisted on sending it off in the palace, under the eyes of everyone, and blatantly announced to everyone that the Imperial City Forbidden Army really obeyed.

Zhao Gan despised Ji Hua's contemptuous approach, but also sweated for himself. He had just regained a little bit of image with His Majesty, but Ji Hua destroyed it in a blink of an eye. When the news reached His Majesty, he didn't know what she would take. Way to him.

……

And Ji Qiang, who was repeatedly talked about by Zhao Gan, was listening to Chu Lingxiao and others' detailed report on going south in Yangyuan Hall.

Ji Yu expected it well, they had a very difficult journey, not to mention the wind and snow, the assassins alone encountered three waves of troops.

Dozens of assassinations, three parties...
