Chapter 252

"Well said!" Chu Li suddenly snarled, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Qing listens to the order. From today onwards, you will be the military and political governor of the southeast province of Southern Chu, in charge of civil and government taxation, military power guarding the border, and supervising all officials. , you must do your best to not disappoint my expectations of you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qing Xia knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "I must be loyal to the country, follow your Majesty on the saddle, build an industry, advance and retreat together, never say goodbye!"

Chu Li smiled slightly when he heard the words, with a hint of expectation in his smile, and said softly: "Okay, let's advance and retreat together, never say goodbye, you have to remember today's words."

"Your Majesty is holy!" All the generals of Southern Chu immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

The rice is already in the pot, the wood is ready, the other ministers knelt down helplessly, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is wise!"

It is impossible to promote a person who has never made any achievements, or even no one knows, as an important minister.But this impossible thing was actually accomplished under Chu Li's Ji Wei who had just regained Dong Qi and Qing Xia's tongue blossoming lotus.The historians of later generations gave this day a very grand name, called the day of swallowing the sea.

As the so-called Qianlong hides in the Liusha River, once the clouds are broken and the ocean is swallowed, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are annoyed, but they don't know that the dragon is a phoenix.

In the chaotic times in the rear, Zhuang Qingxia, who is also known as the husband of the three major female middle-aged women in the world, together with the female general Huayang of the Northern Qin Dynasty and the major general Xichuan Zhaonan, finally took her first step in politics today. spread out.

In name, it was the morning court, but when it ended, the sun had already set in the west, and a whole day had passed.Now that he has shown his face in a public capacity, it is natural to be cautious in everything so as not to show his feet.A play needs to be done in a complete set. The Chu Li Dynasty gave the governor of the southeast province a letter from the court uniform and a jade spy to mobilize the army. Qing Xia worshiped nine buckles three times and thanked the emperor for his kindness.Since Xia Qing really appeared out of thin air, no one knew about it except for a few senior soldiers of the black-clothed guards.Chu Li had no choice but to grant the Ronghua Palace Outer Hall to Yu Qingxia as her temporary residence.

Xia Qing's prosperity as a holy family is like no other for a while.

The government and the public are in turmoil, and countless undercurrents are secretly rolling in private, quietly brewing the next wave that does not know when it will come.

Qingxia is sitting in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Mansion Palace, still wearing an elegant Confucian gown, the moon-white base is embroidered with fine patterns of white auspicious clouds, it is ironed on her body, her hair is loosely tied with blue hair , actually don't have the unrestrained taste of Mr. Pian Pianjia.Just after dinner, she was leaning sideways on the warm couch, thinking silently, while casually tying a red concentric knot. This is her perennial habit. When thinking about things, she always has something to do. What, in modern times, besides weaving Chinese knots, you can also clean your guns, but now it is the only activity.

"My lord, it's getting late, go to bed early."

Jin Yu came in from the outside, wearing a light blue palace attire like a court lady, about 25 or six years old, mature, stable, generous and decent.She is the maid given to Qingxia by Chuli today, and she used to be Chuli's personal maid. She is of the same level as Qinyu and others. In the capital of Southern Chu, there are a large number of relatives and family members. As a slave, there is no problem in his loyalty, and he is highly valued by Chu Li, and even Lai Dong Qi comes to take it with him.Qing Xia guessed that she probably knew her identity, but this woman behaved properly and did not go beyond the slightest bit, so she must have got Chu Li's orders, so Qing Xia didn't teach much.He just waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to sleep yet, and continued to fall into deep thought.

Jinyu added some charcoal to the brazier, smoked some sandalwood, and then exited the room, closing the door gently from the outside.

Qing Xia half-closed her eyes, and put a small brocade quilt on her calf, without looking, her hands are knotted flexibly, her ten fingers are dexterous, and she is exceptionally proficient.

In addition to Jinyu, Chu Li also pointed out to her several familiar black guards, and also sent Le Song to accompany her. This is already a great honor. The identity of Xia Qing who was born out of nowhere.It's a pity that under Chu Li's instruction, Xia Qing's identity and family background are all too clear. No matter how they want to break their heads, no one would think that this ambitious young man named Xia Qing was the one who followed Qin Qin in the past. King Xuan and Concubine Zhuang Qingxia, who had been missing for five years, were together.

Although it seems to have the upper hand today, Qing Xia knows that the real crisis is far from beginning.The reason why all the ministers in the government and the opposition surrender to themselves is because they are afraid of the millions of troops of Southern Chu and the power of Chu Li. Once Chu Li leaves Haishi and returns to Southern Chu, these veterans of Eastern Qi will show up one after another The minions came to deal with her, an outsider who hadn't even got a firm foothold.Even the courtiers of Southern Chu would feel resentful because Chu Li was not an important veteran, and they would treat themselves positively and negatively.

Except for the support of the Emperor Chu who is about to go out and plan the Northern Expedition, she will not receive any assistance, and she will be even more isolated in the Eastern Qi Dynasty.If she can't overwhelm them politically, strike them spiritually, and deter them physically with the power of thunder, then she, the governor of the southeastern province, will completely die in name only.

She already has a general direction and method, what is needed now is just to deliberate step by step.

"What are you thinking about?" A mellow male voice suddenly sounded, and the woman on the couch suddenly raised her head. It is very obvious in the empty room.

The man took off the cloak on his back by himself, threw it aside, walked forward with the coldness of the night, picked up the concentric knot on the ground, looked at it with interest, then raised his head, and said in a homely way: "Very Chic, I didn't know you had such a skill."

Qingxia was a little embarrassed, stood up quickly, stroked her slightly messy hair, and rarely showed a trace of her daughter's timidity, and said with a slightly flushed face: "Why don't you tell the servants to tell you why you are here, just accept it. Emperor, you are still so reckless."

Chu Li smiled and didn't answer, sat down beside the soft couch naturally, took a sip of the teacup that Qing Xia had put on the small table, and said, "I've been busy dealing with the memorials of the southern rebellion until now, I'm so tired I could hardly keep my eyelids open. However, Dongfang Li and a group of veterans of the Eastern Qi Dynasty were still waiting outside the Shang study. Sun Qingcheng cried for more than three hours. The noise was so disturbing that I couldn't bear it, so he ran out from the side door. Fortunately, your place is still clean."

Qing Xia smiled lightly, picked up the charcoal brazier, moved it to his feet, extinguished the sandalwood burner, lit the cinnamon sticks, and while lighting it, she turned around and said: "Actually, you don't need to pay attention to them. Li also knows that there is no room for turning around, the reason why he did this is just to say hello to you and express his disagreement with you, so as not to implicate him, the Sima in power, if I cause trouble in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, she frowned slightly and said, "Are you really planning to use him? This old minister is tactful and competitive. What's more difficult is that he has a unique vision and great courage. I'm afraid he Bad things will happen in the future."

Chu Li took a deep breath, pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but I can't move him for the time being. Dongfang Li not only holds a very important position in the court, but also has the backing of the Dongfang family. The generation along the coast can be called the emperor of the land, rich and powerful, and involved in all walks of life. If you get rid of him now, you will inevitably say that I don’t believe in injustice, and no one will dare to take refuge in me in the future. Second, you must be on guard The split with the Dongfang family has brought losses to the southeast economy. The civil strife in the Eastern Qi Dynasty lasted for five years, and the people needed to recuperate. Besides, our Southern Chu also needed to stabilize the rear to prepare for war. The court also needed to give the people of the world an appearance of unity and stability. Therefore, it is really inappropriate to go to war."

Qing Xia listened quietly, kept it in her heart, nodded and said: "I understand, don't worry, I will definitely not attack the Dongfang family if I am not sure."

Chu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled. One of the reasons why he came here late at night was to tell Qing Xia what he said so that she would not cause trouble. Now it seems that his goal has been achieved.Suddenly, Chu Li frowned, walked up with a stride, pulled Qing Xia's body, and said angrily: "What are you thinking? You are so careless!"

Hearing Chu Li's words, Qing Xia's original thoughts were slightly shaken, and the implementation of some plans also needed to be modified, so she was stunned for a moment.Seeing that Chu Li's eyebrows and eyes were slightly angry, and he was pulled into his arms, he came back to his senses, and suddenly felt a burning pain in his hand. Looking down, it was already a large red and swollen area, and two large pieces of red candle tears dripped on it. It is very eye-catching.

Qing Xia smiled indifferently, reached out to wipe off the wax, and said: "It's okay, I have a good idea, let me tell you about it."

Chu Li didn't talk to her, and pulled her to sit on the soft couch, calling out, "Jinyu, bring me the scalding medicine."

After a while, Jinyu trotted in, and hurriedly said, "Is Your Majesty injured? Where is the injury?"

Chu Li didn't speak, took the burn medicine, poured out a little ointment, and began to apply it on Qing Xia's hands carefully.Qing Xia's cheeks were slightly rosy, she turned her head and said to Jin Yu: "It's all right here, you can go down first."

Jin Yu has been by Chu Li's side for many years, and she is also a smart person who knows the autumn leaves. Seeing this, she gave a cautious blessing and then retreated.

Layer after layer of white ointment was applied on it, and it felt cool, and it was indeed much more comfortable.Qing Xia was held by Chu Li, sitting quietly, the two of them lowered their heads, the dim light shone on their bodies, against the auspicious clouds of the same style on their robes, one black and one white Intertwined and layered together, it is harmonious like a shirt made of a roll of cloth.A piece of snow-white jade pendant hung on Chu Li's waist, and the handwriting on it could be vaguely seen, it was still the piece that was brought to Northern Qin by Rhubarb all the way in Penglai Valley.Qing Xia looked at that piece of jade, many past events came to mind, the years passed by like a snap of the fingers, the years passed like water, in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
