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

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

Lu Yanchen frowned slightly, and looked at Ye Qinghuai worriedly.

"I've been so tired lately, I'm always in a trance." Ye Qinghuai wiped his forehead with a smile, and then said seriously, "By the way, after my husband recovers from his injury, I'm going to participate in the court meeting. I submitted my resignation to the court today. In the future, Mister will come to court as the speaker of the Taiqing Pavilion."

Lu Yanchen hesitated for a moment, but quickly accepted.He lowered his head and said, "This humble minister leads the decree."

At night, go to Sanfang, Hefu.

The door of the study room was closed tightly, and there were two government soldiers with guns standing at the door. The two men stood straight without looking sideways.The courtyard was silent, the house was brightly lit, and the yellowed window paper reflected two figures standing and sitting one by one.

"Yinshi, I want to remind you again. In this way, you will have no way out." The person sitting was He Qingchang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He looked at Zhao Yinshi who was standing in front of him in soft armor, The flickering candlelight was reflected in his eyes.

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

He is tall and tall, and his face is also long, with sharp edges and corners, and his star eyes are lowered, very respectful.

He Qingchang sighed softly, and said, "From now on, you won't come here when I'm here."

After being ordered to evict guests, Zhao Yinshi stood still. He hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Master He is righteous today, and he will report it in the future."

He Qingchang chuckled lightly, and said: "It's not yet known who will die, but you are so sure that there will be a day when you need to speak for me in front of His Majesty?"

Although he smiled, his tone was heavy, Zhao Yinshi immediately knelt down and said: "The last general dare not."

He Qingchang withdrew his power, sighed and said: "It's not certain, maybe there will be that day. This round, you won the 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 and grounded like Luo Zichang at this moment. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for this matter."

He sat at the table with his back slightly hunched, thoughtful, like an old man who is dying and powerless.

Seeing that his expression was shaken, Zhao Yinshi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help persuading him, "Why don't you and the general..."

He Qingchang interrupted him immediately, angrily said: "Speak carefully!"

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

But Zhao Yinshi seemed to be determined, and persuaded him to the end: "My lord, you have witnessed what happened in the past few days. Your majesty is so strategic and courageous, and he will become a hero in the future. It is the duty of a minister to support your majesty. And now is the time when His Majesty is thirsty for talent. Mr. Gu Ge insists on going his own way, why bother to accompany him?"

"What do you know?" He Qingchang's usually calm eyes finally fluctuated. He looked at Zhao Yinshi, his eyes seemed to be on fire, "Although your majesty has the ambition to spread wings, he is still just a fledgling. Most of the entire Kyushu army is in the hands of Mr. Gu Ge, do you know what this means? In this world, whoever holds the military power can have the final say!"

His expression gradually calmed down, and he said: "Yinshi, I am in a different position from you. Your transfer of the imperial army is just a change of management in one of the nine gates of Gyeonggi. But if I fall to your majesty, Mr. Gu Ge will be able to Get rid of me, Minister of the Ministry of War."

"My lord..." Zhao Yinshi hesitantly called out.

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

He Qingchang frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth tightened, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "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 can't see through He Qingchang at all. What the hell is Qingchang thinking.

"Beidi has been gaining momentum for more than ten years, and there must be an action this spring. Jinchuan's civil war subsided last year, and a new master has been changed. It will definitely invade our territory within a year or two. The Ministry of War must not have an accident like the Ministry of Rites at this time. There is a problem in Chunwei. You can try again. But the territory is lost, but it is difficult to get it back. Once the war horses of foreign races are allowed to set foot on the land of Dajing, the fate of the country will be in jeopardy."

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

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yinshi who was kneeling on the ground, smiled slightly, and said: "Yinshi, the duty of being a minister is first and foremost to serve the country."

There was a kind of determination and relief in his eyes.

On March [-]th, Miyauchi Xingsu.

Ye Qinghuai arrived at Yichun Palace early in the morning.

As far as the eyes can see in the palace, there is mourning, and she is the only one dressed in black, looking abrupt and solemn.

As a rule, unless it is the empress dowager's funeral, the emperor cannot be allowed to wear hemp and mourning even if the empress dies in the harem.

But her heart is far heavier than those palace ladies in sackcloth.

Maybe except Qin Yang.

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

The hall was full of white clothes, but he was the only one who really wore hemp.

During the whole ceremony, Ye Qinghuai did not say a word.

Amidst the sound of monks and mages chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, she sat alone with her eyes closed, with a straight posture.

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

Faint shouts came from outside Yichun Palace.

"I ask to see His Majesty, I ask His Majesty to decide..."

Ye Qinghuai opened her eyes, and said to Li Baoquan who was behind her, "Go and see what's going on."

Li Baoquan responded and left.

After a while, he came back.

"Your Majesty, it's Liu Chunming, a servant of the Punishment Department, who is begging to see him. He said that he has been wronged so much that he wants the spirit of Concubine Lan to make decisions for him." Li Baoquan said, paused, and then added, "It's Concubine Lan On the day of his death, the chief officer whom His Majesty saw in the Department of Punishment has now been demoted to a waiter."

"It's him? Who wronged him?"

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

Ye Qinghuai thought about it, and said, "Bring him to the yard."

This Liu Chunming was quite different from what she saw in the Punishment Department last time. If Li Baoquan hadn't mentioned it, Ye Qinghuai wouldn't have been able to tell it was him.

He was wearing a white singlet without a waist, and his sleeves were torn and stained with coagulated blood.He was disheveled and staggered when he walked, almost being dragged into it.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai, his eyes buried in thatched hair suddenly lit up, he knelt down in the middle of the yard with a plop, and kowtowed to Ye Qinghuai, "I beg Your Majesty to be the master of this slave!"
