The ninth and forty-ninth chapters everything will be fine
It turned white in the east, and heavy goose-feather snow flew wildly over Mingzhou City all night, making Mingzhou City, which had already been covered in silver, once again shrouded in white snow.
When it gets brighter, there are still moderate snowflakes floating in the sky.
Liu Mingzhi tightened the cloak tightly and breathed hot air into the palm of his hand. He raised his hand to lift the felt hat on the Queen's pale white cloak, covering the Queen's beautiful and fragrant face.
"To put it mildly, it looks like the snow will be quite heavy in the second half of the night. You should wrap yourself up tightly to prevent the cold wind from getting into your body when you are riding a horse."
The Queen nodded silently, raised her hand and tightened the brim of her hat, looking tenderly at Young Master Liu who was standing outside the gate waiting for Huyan Yunyao and the little cutie to come out.
Looking at Liu Mingzhi's cold grin, the Queen raised her hand with a smile and patted the snowflakes on Liu Mingzhi's shoulder.
"Who told you not to prepare a big cloak with a hat? Now you know it's cold."
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky with flying snowflakes: "I didn't expect that we are almost here in Beijing and the snow is still so heavy.
I don’t know what the situation is like on the grassland, or whether the heavy snow has closed the roads.
The new and old brothers of the Three Guards don't know whether they are used to the harsh weather in your Kingdom of Jin and on the grasslands.
It would be troublesome if a mutiny occurred due to bad weather.
The snow this year is even heavier than last year, and the soldiers at the border will definitely suffer!"
The queen looked at Liu Mingzhi's worried look, raised her hand, grabbed Liu Mingzhi's hands, put them on her cheeks and rubbed them.
"Silly, please take care of yourself first. See how cold you are? Please cover your hands politely!"
"To put it bluntly, I'm not kidding.
The snow in Mingzhou is so heavy, and the snow in Northern Xinjiang and Jintu will only be worse.
In particular, Dalong's soldiers have rarely experienced the deep snow environment in your two countries.
Now I have to worry about whether the soldiers stationed at the border for the first time can adapt to the weather over there.
We have survived the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but what if something happens to the cold?
Not only the Dalong soldiers, but also you, the Jin Kingdom and the Turks, are currently short of food and grass.
Even if the grain and grass traded from the Moro River can't be said to be a drop in the bucket, if divided, it can barely fill the stomach.
Because of the war, border trade for things like briquette stoves has long been cut off.
The snow is so heavy, and the soldiers of the three parties and the people of Jin and Tujia have no briquettes for heating, so this winter will be difficult."
The Queen stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi when he mentioned that he was worried about the soldiers and the people of the Jin and Tu countries, with a sincere and worried look in his eyes, and whispered softly: "Regardless of each other, the world is the most important, you are indeed more suitable to be in charge than Wanyan
The world!"
"What? The wind is a bit strong, please speak louder!"
The queen came back to her senses and shook her head with a smile: "It's nothing, don't worry, the people of the two countries are not as fragile as you think.
More than ten years ago, when the mutual trade did not take off and there were no stoves and briquettes for heating, didn't the people of Jin and Turkmenistan survive the cold winter and twelfth lunar month of hundreds of years unscathed?
We have our own way of surviving the winter, so you don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to worry about Dalong’s soldiers stationed in the two countries.”
"That's right! Maybe I'm too worried!"
The Queen tightly covered Liu Mingzhi's hands on her cheeks: "I'm not worried that you are worrying too much, Liu Mingzhi!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Liu Mingzhi, Wanyuan's husband, you will definitely be an emperor who will go down in history. I believe you will definitely be so.
No matter how you are recorded in the history books, whether you have committed regicide and usurped the throne, or whether you have obtained the throne improperly.
But you always have a clear conscience for the sake of the people of the world.
When you are about to die, you can say it proudly in front of everyone in the world.
I, Liu Mingzhi, am worthy of the world, worthy of the common people, and worthy of the common people of the world.
Maybe you are not a good person, but you must be an emperor who will be remembered forever.
Husband, I love you politely and believe in you."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Queen in surprise and looked at him with a look of admiration he had never seen before: "What's going on? You complimented me when you came up. I'm really embarrassed!"
"You care about the world and must be a good monarch. I trust you politely."
"Caution!"
"Husband!"
"Caution!"
"Husband!"
The two middle-aged couples, standing outside the inn at this moment, looked like a young couple who had just fallen in love, attracting the attention of passers-by from time to time.
"Dad, mother, I kept you waiting for a long time!"
"Brother, sister!"
The little cutie wore several layers of thick clothes, wrapped herself up and waddled out like a little penguin.
The father and mother, who looked motionless outside the inn, looked at each other and ignored their greetings, raised their hands, waved and shouted loudly.
"Dad, mother, you have come to your senses. What are you looking at? Are you frozen?"
"Ah? Ah! Yue'er, junior brother, when did you come out? So Wanyan has something in her eyes, let me help her blow it!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the cutie standing in front of him waving to him, and covered it up vaguely.
The Queen also came to her senses, raised her hand and pressed the brim of her hat: "What, maybe the snowflakes drifted in accidentally, it's okay.
Let’s hurry up!”
"Dad, Mom, it's still snowing in the sky. Can we wait until the snow stops before we continue our journey?"
"Of course not. We are already sixteen today. If we don't get on our way in time, if there are any further delays on the way, we won't be able to return to the capital before the end of the year."
The little cutie nodded reluctantly: "Okay, Yue'er will lead the horse!"
In the time it took a stick of incense to burn, four sweaty BMWs with leggings strapped on them to prevent slipping left Mingzhou City one after another and galloped all the way south.
As for He Shu who was riding in the carriage, someone would escort her back to Beijing as soon as possible and settle her down quietly.
November 23, the first year of Dalong Taiping.
Liu Mingzhi and four others finally rushed to the capital.
In front of the palace gate, a group of forbidden soldiers stared dumbly at Liu Mingzhi and the four men stationed at the palace gate.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty? I will wait to see your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi turned over and dismounted, looked up at the palace, which was also shrouded in snow, and waved to a group of forbidden troops.
"Everyone is free of charge!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"During my personal expedition, there shouldn't be any major events happening in the capital, right?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, everything is well in the capital."
"Have the Forbidden Army Commander Song Qing and Haining Hou An Jianghe returned?"
"Your Majesty, you have returned to Beijing three days ago. All your troops and horses have been deployed in the east and south camps of the city, waiting for your Majesty's orders from the Ministry of War."
"Okay! Keep standing guard. It's really too cold to bear. I'll tell you to take command and change the duty in batches quickly so that the soldiers can go to the city gate building to get warm in time.
You can send someone to inform Song Qing, the commander of the Forbidden Army, to enter the palace!"
"I obey your order and thank you, Your Majesty."
"We respectfully invite your Majesty to return to the palace!"
“All free!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After passing through the palace walls, the four of them finally arrived at the school grounds outside the Qinzheng Hall.
"To put it mildly, you came to Dalong to worship once when you first ascended the throne, and Yunyao you even stayed in the Hanlin Academy in Dongyuan for several years.
After all these years, do you see any difference between the palace today and the past?
After I rebelled and became emperor, I hardly made any improvements to any part of the palace.
I don’t know why, but I’m getting more and more nostalgic.
Seeing everything as before makes me feel at ease.
He went to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River, went on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin, conquered the Western Regions in the west, took office in the northern Xinjiang, and conquered your two countries three times.
It’s been almost fifteen years, fifteen years of wandering around.
It finally settled down.
It’s good to see that everything is the same as before, it’s good that everything is the same as before.”
