The First Empress - Chapter 240
Chapter 240 Encirclement And Suppression
Mu Luo Xiaoxiao screamed and chirped. Unknowingly, it was already autumn. This autumn was the tumultuous autumn in the history of the Dali Dynasty. It was also the only autumn with great turmoil. The crops were all ripe, and Seventh Prince Hui Ye had returned to the palace.
On this day, Linglong arrived in school for the Emperor’s son, Huiqi was reading the memorial, ‘”Hui Ye has already returned. Previously, when Hui Ye launched a large-scale military campaign, his life was almost ruined. I don’t want to let Huiqi off. You know that, but now that I have spoken a golden word, it is naturally loud and clear. I have eaten the consequences. I don’t know what to do anymore.”
Linglong smiled. After listening to Huiqi, Then he handed a cup of hot tea to Huiqi. “The emperor is used to it, That’s why I feel like I’m not strong enough, In fact, it was good that Hui Ye had returned, “On the one hand, Hui Ye is your brother, so it’s good to move around a lot. On the other hand, even Hui Ye and Dang Yu don’t need to rely on him. The Emperor just needs to take a good look at Hui Ye’s mansion sooner or later. The Emperor is a smart person, so it’s much better than Hui Ye wandering around outside, isn’t it?”
“What you said is reasonable, but Hui Ye is still a person, a person with flesh and blood. There were many things that you were unclear about back then. He will not let me off easily. After all, the name of my throne is not right and is not smooth.” Huiqi said, He sighed slightly. Linglong reached out and held Huiqi’s hand. Huiqi felt that Linglong’s hand was also slightly cold. But there is an inexplicable sense of stability and peace, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. House arrest isn’t about not letting him do anything. It’s just about watching. As for some things, it’s better to let him do them. After all, Your Majesty can’t make people talk nonsense.” After Linglong finished speaking, He reached out his hand and gently flicked the scarlet bead on his forehead, then said, “What is wrong? Since the emperor ascended to the throne six or seven years ago, the country has been stable, and the people’s life has been prosperous. It is like sesame blossoms. What is wrong is that some people can’t eat grapes and say that the grapes are sour. The emperor ignores those people.”
Hearing this, Huiqi felt very warm and said, “Then what exactly should I do?”
Linglong smiled and revealed her two white teeth. “The Emperor thought that it would be better to let him do as he pleased,” she said. “There must be a way, right?” After Linglong finished speaking, she said, “Royal Teacher Mu actually doesn’t have a blacksmith, does it?” When Huiqi heard this, he suddenly became enlightened. He laughed and said, “I understand what you mean. Right now, you and I are like playing nine consecutive rings with the other opponents. We have already reached the last ring, and it will be easy to solve. You really are my flower of words. I will definitely confer you the title of Queen-”
Suddenly hearing this, Linglong froze slightly. A cup of tea in his hand had already landed on the ground. Fortunately, the golden carpet did not break. After a long time, Linglong sighed and said, “Your Majesty, the more you reach the last moment, the faster you will cut the mess. Your concubines do not want to disturb Your Majesty because of something, so I would like to ask Your Majesty and Your Majesty to grounded as well, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble at that time.”
Huiqi nodded and said, “I also have such a plan.”
Hearing this, Linglong said, “What does the Emperor plan to do?”
“I will do what I can to make Huiye lose,” said Huiqi. Linglong looked at Huiqi. The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile. a tactful smile is a sign of calm and success, ‘”Your Majesty, this concubine has a very good plan, but I don’t know your Majesty” Linglong put her lips close to Huiqi’s ear. After hearing that, Huiqi became even more noisy. She clapped her hands and happily paced around the room. Linglong was more and more like a statue of a white jade statue, silent and motionless.
Huiqi said, “After this matter, I will definitely accompany you well. I will definitely.”
“It’s good that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the country. Don’t be distracted by women.” After Linglong finished speaking, she knelt down. Huiqi thought of Linglong’s plan and couldn’t help but smile. She revealed a cold and fierce smile. This smile was a conspiracy smile, an ambitious smile. Linglong also revealed a smile. This smile was a helpless smile. It was a smile that would become benevolent if she didn’t succeed.
Indeed, Seventh Prince Hui Ye had returned and was indeed preparing for the second restoration. After all, he was a direct prince. Everyone hoped that he could replace the Great Li Court in Huiqi’s hands. Hui Ye did not know that he was already surrounded by the spies secretly arranged by the Emperor.
‘”Royal Brother, you are trying to eliminate this king. This king can survive this time thanks to your help. This king is very happy. I hope that you can properly assist this king and tidy up Huiqi, who is in trouble in this kingdom.” After Hui Ye returned, he swept away the depressed and heroic appearance he had in the past, causing people to suddenly feel as if assisting him was a very appropriate thing, as if he was not mistaken.
“This minister will definitely help Seventh Prince to calm down the country and calm the world. Please spare Seventh Prince the worries in the future.” Everyone’s mouths were sweeter than honey, Seventh Prince Hui Ye was overjoyed. Hui Ye didn’t know that some of the people who were singing were from Huiqi. As soon as he moved, someone on the other side had already reported these things to Huiqi. He was even more unclear. The young general who had ambushed him at the city gate, Han Qi, was also mixed in with this group of people.
Han Qi had already cleverly disguised herself, Now he looked like an old man, He said in a hoarse voice, “Right now, if Seventh Prince wants to make a comeback, it must have enough silver. The silver is not something that Mu Hua can obtain, and can only come from other sources,” he said. While telling Seventh Prince a way to make money, Hui Ye was naturally extremely happy. He counted the silver up and down again, so the smelting plant nearby began to leave another round of smelting. The red furnace was filled with pitch-black iron blocks. After a while, it had been melted down and finally turned into a sharp sword.
At this time, there was a thin figure in the sky of the blacksmith. She held an exquisite dagger in her hand and said to the blacksmith, “This knife must have been forged for so long. It must have been frost-like killing invisible. Then this palace will take it away.” He was clearly a skinny man, but the words that came out of his mouth were extremely charming, making people feel very comfortable. This person was none other than Linglong.
After Linglong finished speaking, He hid the dagger in his sleeve, At this time, Han Qi walked over and said, “Your Highness, Seventh Prince’s army is running out now. Even Seventh Prince’s money is out of money. Your Highness can move now.” Linglong sighed and said, “There’s no hurry. It’s actually not difficult to put her to death now. However, I’m afraid that Seventh Prince will be moved. In the end, it won’t be good for the bamboo basket to be empty.” After he finished speaking, he told Han Qi, “Remember to let the Emperor know about these things, not only iron making, stationing troops, but also selling smuggled salt. You have to tell the Emperor everything clearly and clearly.”
Shortly after, Huiqi found out about these things.
“But is it absolutely true?” Huiqi asked. Han Qi said, “Truth be told, Your Majesty, don’t worry. Your Majesty has me hand over this map to Your Majesty. Your Majesty can let me lead the troops to retrieve all the cold weapons in this warehouse and in this tunnel. This way, people will know about Huiye’s Heart of Tigers and Wolves.”
A smile appeared on Huiqi’s face, and An He Zhong was inexplicably happy. He said, “Alright, I will let you handle these things well. We must let the public know whether it was my righteous request or his own humiliation.” Han Qi nodded and said, “This lowly official will definitely do these things properly. It’s good that Your Majesty is at ease.”
Huiqi waved his hand and Han Qi said, “I have another request.”
‘”Speaking of which–” Huiqi waved his hand generously. Even if he wanted a thousand gold, it wouldn’t be a problem. However, he only nodded slightly and said, “I don’t want anything. Please protect Empress Zhao Yi.”
“I will. I promise you that I will protect the Empress. Now, are you at ease?” Han Qi bowed and said, “Don’t worry, thank you, Your Majesty.” Huiqi didn’t understand why Han Qi would ask for this, but he had already planned to do so. After all, Linglong was a very powerful woman, and she couldn’t let her Pearl Martial Sparrow disappear without a trace. Thus, in recent days, Huiqi had concentrated its troops on the Seventh Prince Palace. The palace had already formed a tight encirclement, but no one dared to move Hui Ye at all.
Huiqi’s patience was running out bit by bit. He knew that Linglong had been staring at Hui Ye and asked, “Is there any movement in your place?”
Linglong’s place was also blocked as usual. It almost made Linglong think that Hui Ye had already guessed these things. After thinking for a while, Zhiyi said, “Probably Hui Ye already knows something. Rather than sitting and getting beaten up, it would be better to stand up and beat people. The Emperor might as well end this deer hunt earlier. According to my bad opinion, it would be better to do this … What does the Emperor think?” After hearing this, Huiqi naturally looked at Linglong differently. She did not know where Linglong got such a grand hatred. Linglong herself felt that she was going too far, but as long as someone wanted to make things difficult for her, she would definitely feel even more sad.
“How will this matter be announced to the world?” Huiqi couldn’t help but feel a little worried. After all, this matter was too important for him to flip the entire universe around with his own mouth, Linglong smiled and said, “Your Majesty’s strength alone is naturally impossible. The words of defense are better than the words of defense. Your Majesty must know that these people are very fond of watching dynasty change dramas. Your Majesty only needs …” Linglong leaned closer to Huiqi’s ear. After saying that, Huiqi couldn’t help but be happy and said, “Wonderful–“
