    The emperor¡¯s residence in Songzhou was not as good as the Linzhou Palace. Although he only brought less than half of the courtiers, it was enough to fill the Songzhou palace, making the room more and more stuffy in the hot summer of July.

    There was a cry in the sweltering hall.

    The emperor at the top was crying, and everyone below was crying.

    But this time it was tears of joy.

    "It's absolutely true that he is the traitor Ankangshan!"

    Officials shouted around the head placed in the ice coffin.

    The head was quickly treated with antiseptic medicine and preserved in ice. It was sent to Songzhou in the hot summer. It was not rotten and the features were clearly distinguishable.

    The emperor had also seen Ankang Mountain. Although his memory was blurred, seeing this head immediately awakened his memory.

    "It is this thief!" He covered his face and knelt down towards the capital, "Father and brother, I have avenged you!"

    Everyone in the crowded room knelt down and shouted long live.

    After much grief, Cui Zheng asked His Majesty to hang the head of Ankang Mountain on the city gate to inform the world. The emperor agreed, so several courtiers personally carried it out of the Yamen and walked through the streets. The people had already received the news and crowded the streets, fighting for it.  Looking at each other, it's like a surging tide.

    There are loud sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums.

    "The world is at peace!" Some elderly officials burst into tears, "Your Majesty, the world is finally at peace!"

    The emperor wiped away his tears and nodded.

    Cui Zheng said: "It's too early to talk about peace."

    But killing Ankang Mountain was indeed a great event. Cui Zheng did not ask everyone to restrain himself and took the initiative to share the good news.

    "While Ande Zhong left, Xiang Nan had already invaded western Zhejiang, and his victory was overwhelming."

    The emperor touched his palm and said, "The western part of Zhejiang will be recovered soon!"

    "Your Majesty, Mrs. Chu is stationed in Taiyuan Mansion, chasing Ande's loyal traitors and killing most of them. Wu Ya'er is chasing Shi Chao and has left Hedong Road. Liang Zhen of Hebei Road has led his troops to assist in the pincer attack. The remnants will be destroyed soon!"

    More battles made the atmosphere in the palace noisy again. Some were crying, laughing, kneeling, and hugging each other. The suffering was finally coming to an end.

    ¡°Your Majesty, let¡¯s set off back to the capital!¡±

    Back to the inner chamber, Cui Zheng looked at the emperor who could not conceal his joy and said.

    This was the first time he took the initiative to say leave, but the emperor shook his head: "No."

    Cui Zheng was a little surprised: "Why?"

    The emperor sat down himself and asked Cui Zheng to sit down as well.

    "Master Prime Minister, you have worked hard all the way. From now on, you will be given a seat even in the court." He said to the eunuch beside him.

    The eunuch responded and brought a chair for Cui Zheng.

    Cui Zheng was not polite, thanked him and sat down: "Your Majesty, it is best to return to the capital as soon as possible when the thief An is executed and the world is filled with joy and people's hearts are full of joy."

    The emperor said: "I understand, but this is a good opportunity for Mrs. Chu to come."

    Cui Zheng was startled.

    "Look, Mrs. Chu has left the capital and is in Taiyuan. If I return to Beijing now, Mrs. Chu must return to the capital to be rewarded by the Holy Spirit." The emperor said, "Mrs. Chu has made another great contribution to killing Ankang Mountain. Who can do it?"  Are we going to drive her out of the capital again?"

    Cui Zheng glanced at the emperor and originally asked Mrs. Chu to leave the capital. In addition to preventing her from becoming too powerful to threaten His Majesty, he also wanted to go to Linzhou to contain the Taiyuan rebels. Now that Ankang Mountain has been conquered and the rebels are scattered, it is already time to go to Linzhou.  no need¡­¡­

    "How about Your Majesty?" He asked, "Now that she is pursuing Ande Zhong, it is unreasonable for her to go to Linzhou. She will not obey the order."

    The emperor said: "I know, Prime Minister, if you look at this, let Mrs. Chu come to Songzhou first to meet the Holy Spirit and receive the reward, and then give her a new appointment, whether it is Taiyuan Prefecture or Huainan Road, whatever she wishes."

    "In short, even if Mrs. Chu refuses, she is not in the capital and has no place to live.

    Cui Zheng looked at the emperor and was speechless and wanted to laugh. He was thinking about this.

    "Okay!" He said, "She is a woman. If she feels aggrieved when the time comes, your majesty will reward her with Wu Ya'er. The husband and wife will become one, and your majesty's favor will be more grand."

    Jiang was still old and hot, and the emperor also laughed. Wu Ya'er and Mrs. Chu were husband and wife, but they were not one in the face of power. They took away the power from the wife and gave it to the husband. The emperor and the court did not lose their good reputation. This couple  But he has to stay away from the strife.

    "Okay! Just do as the prime minister said!" The emperor said, "Mrs. Wu Ya'er of Chu has done a great job in killing Ankang Mountain. I want to ask Mrs. Chu to come and receive the reward."

    Cui Zheng stood up and responded: "My lord, I'm going to draft the imperial edict now."

    The emperor supported him with his own hands: "I'm sorry to have you help me."

    The eunuch came in and said that the queen had prepared dinner.The emperor held Cui Zheng¡¯s hand and said, ¡°This is specially prepared by the queen for the prime minister.¡±

    Cui Zheng thanked him and said, "After I finish my work, I will eat with my colleagues. If I don't eat, everyone will be too embarrassed to ask for food alone and will go back hungry."

    Songzhou is not as big as Linzhou, but it does not have as many people as Linzhou. It is rich in materials, especially the government. It is said that before Han Xu left, he called on the local aristocratic families to donate generous amounts of money and food, which was enough to support the imperial court for a year.

    Despite this, the emperor upheld frugality and everyone still acted simply.

    The emperor left Cui Zheng alone and thanked him again for his hard work, and asked the eunuchs to carry lanterns to deliver them.

    Cui Zheng left, and the eunuch Hu Ping who accompanied him came forward and said: "Your Majesty, let's go over quickly. Ankang Mountain is dead, the world is at peace, and the Queen is also happy. It has been a long time since she personally made soup for Your Majesty!"

    The emperor snorted: "She didn't do it for me, she just did it to reward that old thing."

    Eunuch Hu Ping said with a smile: "Then your majesty, please give me some face? Let's go back to Beijing together happily!"

    The emperor sneered before raising his feet. He thought of something: "Where is the third prince? Let him come with us and we will have a meal as a family."

    Eunuch Hu Ping said: "That's not possible. The third prince has been living in the military camp these days."

    The emperor was stunned: "Why is he living in the military camp? Songzhou is so big, is there no place for him to live?"

    "It's all because Governor Li is so angry with His Highness the Third Highness." Eunuch Hu Ping said with a smile.

    The emperor remembered that when he entered Songzhou City, Li Mingyu mocked the third prince for not being able to lead troops in war.

    "The third prince was learning how to lead troops in the military camp, and he also fought against Governor Li several times." Eunuch Hu Ping said, "He is still in good shape now. Many people praised him and said that the sword that his majesty used to kill the enemy should be awarded to the third prince.  "

    The emperor retracted his raised foot and said, "Go and tell the queen that two people are extravagant and wasteful. Let the queen and concubines use it together."

    The eunuch bowed down in response, and the emperor was the only one left in the room, his figure elongated by the flickering lights.

    "Feng Yan." He called.

    Someone¡¯s figure slipped in from the darkness. It was one of the emperor¡¯s secret guards, bowing his head in response.

    The emperor asked: "How are you preparing?"

    Feng Yan said: "We are ready and waiting for His Majesty's orders at any time."

    The emperor nodded and waved his hands, Feng Yan withdrew like a shadow, and the room became quiet again. The emperor walked slowly to the light, with a smile on his face under the lamp

    The eunuchs who came in with their meager meals saw it. Some laughed, "Your Majesty finally smiled!" Some shed tears, "I can finally see His Majesty's sorrow dissipate."

    The emperor smiled and said: "The thief An is dead! The great revenge has been avenged! I can return to the capital to face my ancestors."

    The eunuchs all shouted long live long live long live long live long live.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At the beginning of August, the mountains and forests outside Taiyuan Prefecture were already faintly layered.

    Li Minglou rode a white horse galloping through the mountains, his cloak flying and his hood falling behind him, and he did not stop until he reached the mountainside.

    The bag that followed closely behind held an umbrella for her to block the wanton autumn sun.

    "Madam, that is Miss Li's villa on Jiannan Road." Baobao pointed to a manor down the mountain, "Master Zhao said it has been tidied up, and Madam can use it as a resting place."

    Of course she knew that it was the Miss Eldest Villa, Li Minglou smiled at the corner of his mouth, the place where she had lived for almost ten years.

    "Let's go hunting first." She said, took down the bow and arrow, urged the horse to turn around and run higher up the mountain, followed closely by Baobao holding an umbrella.

    "Madam, you have gained a lot!"

    Looking at Li Minglou returning with two hares, the prefect Zhao Jin praised him repeatedly.

    Jiang Liang, who was standing aside, looked at him warily. He hadn't seen her for more than two months, but there was a flatterer next to his wife!

    "Madam has always been good at skills!" he said lightly, twirling his beard.

    Li Minglou didn¡¯t care about their flattery and asked Zhao Jin, ¡°Do you have anything to say?¡±

    Zhao Jin simply said, "No, the lower officials have already dealt with it."

    Li Minglou passed him and asked Jiang Liang: "You just arrived? Where did the old lady go?"

    When he attacked Taiyuan Mansion, Li Minglou didn¡¯t bring the Wu woman with him. He asked her to take over after he settled down here, so that he would be closer to Wu Yaer. If anything happened, he could see her as soon as possible

    "I just arrived." Jiang Liang said, "The old lady will arrive in about five days"

    Li Minglou nodded, Jiang Liang followed in, and Zhao Jin bowed and left.

    "There are a few things." Jiang Liang said, watching Li Minglou walk into the side room casually and naturally, sitting down on the Arhat bed in front of the window, and he hurriedly followed and sat on the opposite side

    ¡°Didn¡¯t the prefect say that this was a residence specially prepared for Madam? Why does it look like Madam has been here a long time ago?

    "Ande Zhong sent a letter to Madam." Jiang Liang whispered, "Do you want to return it?"

    Li Minglou didn¡¯t even ask about the content of the letter: ¡°If you don¡¯t reply, burn it.¡±

    Jiang Liang said without saying much: "Xiang Nan said that although he will attack western Zhejiang, please rest assured, madam, that he will still defend Huainan."

    "Let him go."

    Jiang Liang didn't say much, and said: "Master Yuan said that the imperial court has sent an imperial edict, and asked his wife to go to Songzhou to meet the saint"

    Li Minglou said nothing.

    "I understand." Jiang Liang said, "I burned it!"

    Li Minglou laughed.

    "No, no, no," she said, pondering for a moment, "I will accept the imperial edict." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com)Next, he hurriedly followed and sat opposite

    ¡°Didn¡¯t the prefect say that this was a residence specially prepared for Madam? Why does it look like Madam has been here a long time ago?
