Ye Qing arrived at the door and saw footsteps coming in a flurry. She immediately perked up and looked closely. She saw the door open, and a small palace dress girl holding a lamp, tiptoeing, and looking up, asked, "Who are you
She felt this person was so tall that her neck was sore even when she tilted it up.
When Ye Qing saw it, she smiled and thought to herself that this was the little princess. She touched her little head and didn't look down, but crouched down and looked at her at the same level, saying, "Call me Uncle Xuande. What's the name of the little princess? How old is she
Hello Uncle Xuande, Father and Mother call me Ning Ji. I'm six years old this year... "Ning Ji said in a milky voice, her mouth very clear. Although she speaks in her daily life with a taste of ancient Chinese poetry, she sounds very pleasant and cultured. However, when she focused on it, she saw that there was no cloud in her body, and her golden aura could not be dispersed. She sighed inwardly," Even if she were a princess, without the court, there wouldn't be much left to survive
A female voice came from behind the door: "Ning Ji, according to the seniority of the clan, you should call him brother
Ning Ji wrinkled her nose and stuffed the lamp into Ye Qing's hand, "Here you are, take it
She ran back and complained, 'It's strange that Uncle has become a brother...'
Ye Qing laughed at this and her eyes flickered with excitement... Li, is that so?
It's not surprising for the Empress Dowager that she became a brother from her uncle. This may be a bit of anger, a revenge for letting her go for an hour. She has a strong personality and wants to suppress her in terms of seniority. Even if the Young Emperor and Emperor Xian die, Liu Bei cannot become Liu Huangshu.
Of course, the most important thing is etiquette.
To be honest, the Empress Dowager is only in her thirties. Regardless of her gender, many people find it very exciting if she can hold onto her. In ancient times, there were frequent rumors of dynastic changes, especially among usurpers, so it is not surprising to have such concerns.
Last time in Luoyang, I only saw this Empress Dowager once, and there were many relevant intelligence reports submitted - this Empress Dowager He, originally the daughter of a butcher, was selected into the palace and rose to become the empress layer by layer. Her beauty goes without saying, and her adaptation to power is even more terrifying
Compared to her butcher brother He Jin, there is a significant difference.
A woman nourished by power is like a phoenix in a raging fire, but she can be seen from afar and cannot be violated
Ye Qing understood the Empress Dowager's hint and thought for a few seconds. Without being rude or even daring to look around, she placed the lamp at her feet and respectfully bowed at the door, saying, "I, Liu Bei, pay my respects to the Empress Dowager
As soon as these words fell, there was a moment of silence inside. As night fell, the moonlight shone through the window, adding to the deep silence.
Come in... "Finally, there was a long sigh inside.
Ye Qing stood up and walked in. Inside, she saw that it was simple, but she saw the empress dowager sitting in front of the wooden bed, dressed in formal phoenix attire with a red background and light makeup. Her jade face had phoenix eyebrows, and with just a raised eyebrow, she exuded a natural royal aura.
Just a glance revealed the aura of this woman and a phoenix.
The clouds on top were shattered, but the phoenix was still there, with only a faint shadow floating on top. Although they tried their best to pounce, this power was not enough to shake Ye Qing at this moment. Only a red giant snake appeared on Ye Qing's top, hovering slightly and ignoring it.
Poor thing, landing phoenix! "Ye Qing thought, bowing again.
At this moment, she was sitting at the back of several cases, saluting and staring at the man for a long time, her eyes flickering. Finally, she sighed and said, "Since the late emperor has passed away, the two emperors have been killed by thieves one after another. The Han dynasty has lost its virtue, and the mourning family is truly an ominous person. Under the Nine Springs, you have no face to see the ancestors of the Liu family. How can you live up to the title of empress dowager
This is all the fault of a thief, is it the Empress Dowager's misconduct? "Ye Qing replied solemnly, as if she had not heard the phrase" Your ancestors and ancestors of the Liu family ".
Although the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Great Han Dynasty was inherited, the worship of Emperor Guangwu was actually a different branch.
Ye Qing didn't care about this grammatical error and responded meticulously, "How can we not repay our family and country grudges? I am willing to punish the Dong bandits for the Empress Dowager
He is now Grand Tutor Dong, and sitting on the throne of the emperor... "Empress Dowager He frowned and thought for a moment, seeming somewhat troubled. She shook her head and said," Forget it, the grieving family can't remember. They must have found their relatives somewhere, you know
Ye Qing's expression changed, she raised her head and stared at her, firmly saying, "This is a pseudo emperor, there's no point in discussing it
The young emperor is actually fine. The death of Emperor Xian is closely related to the arrangements made by Ye Qing. Since we have put in so much effort, how can we acknowledge this royal family at this time?
I will directly discuss it as a pseudo emperor.
After hearing these words, Empress Dowager He was stunned for a moment. With her hands resting on her knees, she pondered for a long time before calmly saying, "It is only natural for you not to acknowledge the false emperor that Dong and the bandits killed me, the Emperor of Han
As a mother, I am willing to go to any lengths to avenge my son. However, as a woman, I do not understand the importance of national affairs. In the event of the death of the late emperor, I still bear some responsibility. The title of empress dowager needs to be mentioned again by Xuande
Ye Qing pondered her intention in her heart and bowed her head once again, saying, "No, it's about physical integrity. The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager of the Great Han, and she must not have a heart that comes from a light heart
Not only the empress dowager, but even the princess, if she goes to Yuzhou, she still needs to return to the standard
Xuan Deguo is a descendant of the royal family... "Empress Dowager He saw Ye Qing kowtow and plead for orders three times before getting up from the case and slowly pacing in front of him:" Xuan Deguo, please rise up. The Ai family will rely on you in the future, and the Great Han will also rely on you. As for the specific steps, let the Ai family think about them
Ye Qing stood up and responded, "Yes, Empress Dowager
Standing up, Ye Qing lowered his head and saw a white and greasy towering figure before quickly withdrawing his gaze.
Empress Dowager He turned to her side and frowned in the hallway, holding onto the thick wooden windowsill and gazing out at the endless primeval forest outside. It was a dark and eerie shadow that made people feel scared.
The moon has risen, quietly illuminating this ancient and barbaric land, which is a completely unfamiliar environment that cannot be seen in the palace no matter what.
Is everything different from before? "Her gaze had a hint of confusion, and a little smug just now disappeared without a trace.
Her face was a bit gloomy, her pupils shimmering with a faint light, scanning softly. She tightly held onto the rough wood with one hand, but gritted her teeth and remained silent.
She knew in her heart that losing her son and leaving the palace meant losing everything.
No matter how respectful Liu Bei appears on the surface, he is only on the surface.
If I had this temper in the past, it would have been thunderous rain and hail, and I would have carried out several corpses. But now I can't do anything.
Sucking his lower lip, he asked, "I heard that Xuande has prepared military armor in Yuzhou
When she spoke, Ye Qing didn't hide her thoughts and said, "Empress Dowager, I have complete control over seventeen counties in Yingchuan Commandery
Even if there are those who are dissatisfied and have been sidelined, there is no need to say so.
Runan Commandery is also proficient, but the states of Chen, Liang, Pei, Lu, and others are all descendants of the imperial family and require the Empress Dowager's decree to appoint me as the Governor of Yuzhou
After hearing these naked words, the Empress Dowager "Hmm" and asked again, "How many soldiers and horses are available
Ye Qing didn't care and bowed, saying, "According to records, it's 36000 yuan, but due to the accumulation of grain, I trained the militia within a few years. With just one order, we can collect 150000 yuan within half a month - this is not an imaginary number
The foundation of the army lies in the old soldiers. These 36000 soldiers have all been trained and can become commanders after going through the battlefield, so the army can be expanded to 150000 without much weakening in combat power, "Ye Qing said calmly." And storing 800000 stones of grain, there will be no need to worry about military supplies for at least a few years
The Empress Dowager felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, and her expression forced a smile: "Xuande is a model for the royal family to prepare for the future
With so many soldiers and so much food, if there were no wolf ambitions, it wouldn't be justifiable.
She no longer felt terrible in her heart, only desolate. After saying this sentence, she stopped talking.
Her silence made Ye Qing sigh in her heart. Being alone can subconsciously reveal her inner self. Empress Dowager He had almost lost everything at this moment, and from this uncertain side, one could see her current weakness.
This woman has fallen from the throne and is now in her own hands. Reality is more convincing than anything else, "Ye Qing thought, feeling bewildered - he knew what he needed and didn't need.
In the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the real Cao Cao no longer exists. There will no longer be a line in the "Shuzhi Ling" that says, "If there are no orphans in the world, I don't know how many people will become emperors and how many will become kings." There will no longer be a heavenly sword to slay dragons and snakes in the world.
Instead, there was a governor general, a Yingzhou governor who was completely hostile to the indigenous regime, and an Yingzhou alliance that wanted to sweep away the Han dynasty.
If Liu Bei doesn't uphold the Han dynasty, who else will? Her probing is completely unnecessary
However, it's okay. In the Han Dynasty, people generally believed in the mandate of heaven, taught the Five Elements, and respected the ancestral system. I was already prepared in Yingchuan County, and everything was in my hands
Ye Qing silently waited, and a smile gradually spread from the corner of her mouth.
After a moment of silence, Empress Dowager He finally woke up and thought, "It's okay, my son is dead. What's there to worry about? Even if this person has ambitious ambitions, they will still be part of the royal family and cannot fall into the hands of outsiders
Just give him Yuzhou, as for whether or not to grant him the title of king, let me think again. "As she was about to answer, she looked over and let out a sudden" hey "sound, breathing rapidly.
Ye Qing looked up and was also stunned.
Not far away, I saw a mountain valley, with red colors soaring into the sky and rosy clouds filling the sky... It really came out.
Empress Dowager, this may be a precious light unearthed from a treasure... I thought that when Empress Dowager arrived at Luan Jia Fang, I saw this, or it was a good omen, "Ye Qing's eyes turned and she said.
No matter what treasure is unearthed, having this "auspicious omen" at the bottom, looking back at the many preparations made in Yingchuan County can earn a bonus.
Auspicious omen... "The Empress Dowager whispered, looking back at the valley and its surroundings. Many soldiers were startled by the red glow, and the torch light spread out, indicating reconnaissance.
She felt a chill in her heart as she scanned back and forth between Chiguang and Liu Bei. After a moment, her gaze changed: "Take the mourning family over and take a look, what a good omen
I obey your order, "Ye Qing replied respectfully.
