    ?

    The next day, although it was autumn, the sun was still strong at noon.

    Jin Min on Xiao Jing's black clothes was shining brightly under the sun.

    Chuyao put on the human skin mask again, dressed as a servant in a green shirt, with long black hair combed into a scholarly bun.  This ordinary and handsome face is quite suitable for dressing up as a page boy.

    When she appeared in front of the mansion with this appearance, Xiao Jing was slightly taken aback, and said, "What are you doing?"

    "It doesn't hinder the prince's marriage proposal." Chu Yao tilted her head and smiled, her words were sarcasm, but she pretended to be innocent.

    For another moment, he saw Su Qingmo's shadow in those dark almond eyes.

    "Do you mean that you don't want me to propose marriage?" Xiao Jing deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of her words.

    "Of course not. Being able to marry Princess Fengzheng is probably what men in the world want most. If the prince can get it, Chuyao will naturally not congratulate him very much." Knowing that his trip should not be to marry Princess Fengzheng, he subconsciously said  Then he blurted out, regretting it, and bit his lip.

    Xiao actually gave her a meaningful look, and then said, "Get in the car."

    Chuyao got into the carriage as he said, Wenguo had a long journey, and the carriage was prepared quite comfortably and spaciously, with a thick layer of cotton wadding all around, so it was comfortable to lean against, and would not bump into anything due to bumps.

    This trip was extremely simple, unlike Xiao Jing who used to lead troops forward, there were no more than seven people in total, she, Xiao Jing, Wan Zhu, Doctor Jin, the groom and two servants, it was really a light and easy trip.

    "The prince doesn't bring guards, isn't he afraid that something will happen before he arrives in Wen Kingdom?" Chu Yao leaned against the wall of the car, quite indifferent to his affairs.

    Given the current conflict between Emperor Huai and King Ning, it is not impossible to send someone to kill him. Although King Ning has a sharp sword on his march to expand the territory, the sword is too sharp and can easily scratch the sword's hand.  At such a time, the sword wielder will of course abandon the sword.

    Emperor Huai obviously couldn't control the sword anymore, and Xiao Jing's trip alone this time created a chance for him to have an attack.

    "Are you caring about me?" Xiao Jing slightly raised his eyebrows.

    Chuyao twitched the corners of his mouth, noncommittal: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope. If someone assassinates you and kills me too, I will be wronged." I don't know if it's because of wearing a mask,  She can be thick-skinned frankly, even using honorifics.

    "Then Miss Song doesn't need to worry too much, this king will take care of her." Xiao Jing smiled on his lips, and the smile reached his eyes, suddenly there was the smell of ice and snow melting.

    Chuyao didn't know that such an almost teasing look could appear on his cold face, he opened his half-closed eyes, and said: "Then I hope that the prince will try his best to protect me regardless of life and death."

    This clear and cold sentence was just to reply to his joke, but he never thought that it would become true in the future.

    Wen Guo Palace.

    The phoenix kite stands on the city gate and looks down at the silent capital of the Wen Kingdom under the night sky. The autumn wind gently lifts her sleeves, and the moonlight shrouds the dragon patterns on her dark purple sleeves. The golden dragon patterns are shining and lifelike.

    "His Royal Highness, the wind is blowing." A palace lady in green stood ten feet away, reminding carefully.

    "Ru Su, you said that if the four kingdoms are unified, there will be no more wars in the world." Her cherry lips parted slightly, and her eyes as bright as stars lowered, and she caressed the jade on the city wall, which had the marks of knives on it.  , and traces of fire.  For hundreds of years, it has experienced battles here, leaving indelible marks time and time again.

    Can she really hold this ancient city wall?

    "The slaves don't understand the important affairs of the country, they only know that the common people don't like to fight." The court lady named Su Su replied with her head bowed.

    Who would like to fight a war if they can live a peaceful life?  The people of Wen Kingdom didn't want it, and she believed that the people of Yan, Mongolia, and Li didn't want it either.

    Since ancient times, emperors have trampled on the flesh and blood of the people to achieve their ambitions.

    The phoenix kite turned around and slowly walked down the city wall along the wall. The dark purple dragon robe dragged on the ground, and the dragon pattern hovering on it seemed to be cruising with its tail.

    The autumn wind was getting cooler, pouring into her empty dragon robe, and when she walked back to Yeting Palace, her body was completely chilled, her mind became clearer, she bent down and sat down, holding the unfinished memorial.

    She ascended to the throne as a daughter, and the officials below naturally have many unlucky things. She can only do better and better to convince them.  The most important thing for the Wen Kingdom right now is not to be chaotic, and to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home. Only when the monarch and his ministers are of the same mind can the Wen Kingdom become stronger.

    "See Your Majesty." A gray-haired and bearded old man knelt down on the ground respectfully.Zheng's childhood teacher.

    Feng Zheng received a lot of help from him when she ascended the throne, and all the ministers in the court jointly issued a letter against her ascension, and it was Prime Minister Duan who stood up and was the first to agree with her.  The elders of the three dynasties had a lot of disciples in the dynasties, and a word from Duan Xiang was worth as much as others said.

    She got up and walked in front of him, gave him a little support, and said softly: "Duan Xiang is already old, and he is also my teacher, so there is no need to bow down in the future."

    Duan Xiang straightened up, and said loudly: "The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers cannot be abolished. This was taught by His Majesty when he was a child. How can I not follow it."

    Feng Zheng knew that her teacher was always stubborn, so she couldn't force it, so she said, "Master Duan came late at night, is there something important?"

    "Xiao Jing, King Ning of the Yan Kingdom, Duan Heye, the second son of the Marquis of Dingyuan of the Meng Kingdom, and Anran of the Li Kingdom, all set off for the Wen Kingdom." Duan Xiang's old voice showed some doubts: "Your Majesty, although this invitation card  I have attracted many capable people and strangers who can be used by our country, but I have also attracted these wolves, tigers and leopards, I am afraid"

    "This is a desperate step, but it can protect the country for the time being." Feng Zheng clenched her hands hanging in her sleeves, and stuck her cardamom-painted nails into her white and tender palms. Looking at the flickering candles in the glazed palace lanterns, she whispered:  "A single jackal may be scary, but a pack of jackals will fight to the death for their prey. Does this mean that when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured?"

    "Your Majesty, the matter of recruiting relatives" Duan Xiang looked at this girl who was like a granddaughter, who was taught by her side since she was a child, and felt that she grew up too much overnight.  In the past, she was clever and aggressive, but now she is quiet and introverted, with more and more careful thoughts.

    "Duan Xiang thinks it is more important to protect the people of the whole country, or to protect the prosperity and wealth of the royal family of the whole country?" Feng Zheng raised her head slightly, and looked at the stars through the carved golden lacquer gate of Yeting Palace.

    The aged prime minister frowned, cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me for saying something disrespectful. In this big world, no one can be bigger than the people. The people without the royal family are still the people. The royal family without the people is just a dream."

    Feng Zheng withdrew her gaze, turned to look at the gray-haired old man, and smiled slightly: "This sentence, full of civil and military affairs, may only be expressed by Duan Xiang to me honestly."

    "The minister is terrified."

    Feng Zheng walked back to the dragon chair, glanced at a piece of white rice paper, and said calmly: "I already have someone in my heart." (Remember this site website: www.hlnovel.com
