For a long time, there was silence up and down the city. Yang Liang raised his head and looked down the city. He saw a pair of eyes in the distance shooting towards the city top coldly. Yang Liang's heart was slightly shocked, and all the courage in his body seemed to be drained by these eyes. , he finally nodded and said to Huangfu Dan: "Huangfu Aiqing, please arrange it for me. I will open the city and ask for surrender!"
In Chang'an City, Chu Yunfei stood quietly in front of the window, staring out the window.
White snow was flying outside the window, and the snowflakes fell in large tracts, just like Chu Yunfei's cold heart.
Lanling, I wonder where you are now? Are you cold with such heavy snow?
I still didn't kill Yang Liang after all. After all, you don't have many relatives in this world anymore. Lan Ling, why did I search every inch of the entire Chinese land but couldn't find you?
Even if you can appear in front of me, just pierce my chest with your sword, as long as you can look at you again.
Lanling, I don’t know how long I have left to live. I’m not afraid of death, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to see you before I die, Lanling, Lanling.
Chu Yunfei stared out the window quietly, tears sliding down his cheeks and falling to the ground silently.
Stretching out a pair of hands from behind, he gently put a large mink fur cover on Chu Yunfei's shoulders. Li Muqing said softly: "Your Majesty, it's late at night. Please be careful and be careful not to catch a cold."
Chu Yunfei slowly closed his eyes, tears falling down the corners of his eyes.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "It has been one hundred and twenty-one days, and there is still no sign of Miss Lanling. She has always been afraid of the cold, but it is snowing so heavily in this world."
Li Muqing sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Lanling's sister has her own destiny. Besides, she has strong martial arts skills and should have no problem taking care of herself."
Chu Yunfei hummed and said, "Isn't there any news from Old Man Zhou?"
Li Muqing sighed: "Sister Qingya sent a letter, saying that the sisters are all in good health and asking you to take care of the dragon body. In addition, she said that she has not seen Li Shimin for a long time. I hope your majesty can let them see little Shimin."
Chu Yunfei hummed and said: "The east capital of Luoyang is about to be built. I am planning to move the capital to the east capital in the near future. I will let Li Sima guard it hard in Chang'an. As for Shimin, let him go to Wolong Mountain to meet Zhou. Old man."
Li Muqing nodded and said: "I believe Li Sima can understand the Emperor's thoughts, and he will definitely be grateful to the Emperor."
Chu Yunfei hummed, without comment.
Until now, Chu Yunfei didn't know whether Ye Jianan had contacted Li Yuan. He also didn't know what Li Yuan's attitude was when it came to dealing with Tuyuhun.
However, Chu Yunfei was not worried no matter what. It was clearly recorded in the history books that Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, only served as emperor for a few days. The real Zhenguan era was under the hands of Li Shimin.
Chu Yunfei turned to Li Muqing and said, "How is the construction of Uncle Ma's canal going?"
Li Muqing said with some worry: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, do you know whether to say it or not?"
Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you say so."
Li Muqing said: "Your Majesty, the construction of the canal will cost a lot of money and the people will suffer. Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the time has not been long. The foundation, this, is not stable. I don't know if your Majesty can delay for a few years before building this grand project." project?"
Chu Yunfei nodded slowly and said: "Muqing, why didn't I think of what you said? But I don't know how much time God can give me? Tuyuhun has suffered a severe drought in the past two years, the country's power has weakened, and the Turks have split from east to west. We have no time to take care of ourselves. We can only take advantage of this time to raise our troops and march westward to eliminate Tuyuhun, a serious threat in one fell swoop. We will strangle the north-south traffic arteries and control the Turks from the north. The Turks want to come to Korea and Tuyuhun, and they want to be eyeing our fertile land in China. Given time, these three countries can cultivate their health. Rest assured, there will be no small disaster in the future."
Chu Yunfei did not speak clearly. He knew that with Li Muqing's intelligence, he could naturally understand what he meant.
Li Muqing pondered and said: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, but I am a little worried that the emperor's move will make the people complain and cause unrest in the future."
Chu Yunfei hummed and said: "Muqing, I have thought about what you said. I have already sent a message to Ma Shumou, asking him to try his best to save money on the project and not to bore the people. The canal Construction is related to China's destiny for tens of millions of years. This matter will eventually be completed in our generation. In the future, sea routes will be accessible in all directions, so that future generations of countries will be more prosperous. As the saying goes, the predecessors plant trees and future generations enjoy the shade. Just let me bear the infamy for thousands of years and do something for future generations."
Chu Yunfei said, looking a little lonely, Lan Ling was nowhere to be found, and he was seriously ill and his life was precarious, so why should he be so timid?
Li Muqing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, leaving aside the canal, are you planning to use troops against Tuyuhun in the near future?"
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "Muqing, it's too late to do this now. Deep winter is coming. It's not easy to march in the snow. We won't be able to send troops to Tuyuhun until the weather gets warmer next year. For now, we will let Tuyuhun survive. Last few months."
Li Muching remained silent.
Chu Yunfei turned to look at Li Muqing, smiled slightly and said, "Mu Qing, why don't you speak?"
Li Muching sighed softly and said: "I just feel that the war is about to start again. I wonder how many people will die before I give up?"
Chu Yunfei nodded and sighed: "Since ancient times, there have been constant wars and chaos, with millions of casualties. But since ancient times, if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. If you want to have a peaceful and prosperous world, you must fight. Kill and create an era of peace from the barrel of a gun. As a descendant of China, I cannot shrink from seeking perfection. I must go all out to nip the enemy in the bud. Only in this way can we create conditions for a prosperous age for future generations! Turk Tuyuhun The Three Kingdoms of Korea are covetous and ambitious, and have invaded the borders several times, kidnapped our Sui people, and invaded our territory and cities. If we continue to tolerate them blindly, they will only make these thieves worse and more unscrupulous. Only killing to stop killing is the right way to be a military strategist."
Li Muqing nodded and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, you only think about future generations, but don't you think about yourself and the people around you?"
Chu Yunfei turned to look at Li Muqing, and his body trembled slightly. Li Muqing's pretty eyes were looking at him. This wise girl had grown up. There was no part of her body that was not charming and exuding a faint mature charm.
Chu Yunfei was in a daze for a moment. He had been obsessed with Lan Ling's disappearance these days, and with the invasion of the evil sword demon in his body, he trapped himself tightly in a cage, ignoring everything around him, including those who were deeply concerned about him. A girl who is deeply in love.
Chu Yunfei stretched out his hand to take Li Muching into his arms and said softly: "Mu Qing, you have suffered a lot these days."
When he talks about you, he means Xiao Chuo, Ye Zimo, Liu Moqian and other women. Although they have always been with him, his heart is always concerned about Lan Ling, drifting to an unknown place. But he ignores and forgets those around him.
Li Muqing gently stroked Chu Yunfei's cheek, slowly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, we sisters are not suffering, but you, Your Majesty, have to take care of your dragon body. There are so many great things in the world waiting for you to do. If Miss Lanling, don’t you know how sad she would be if she knew you were giving up on yourself like this?”
Chu Yunfei remained silent, Lanling, Lanling.
In the Jinluan Hall, there were piles of memorials. Chu Yunfei flipped through them. They were all for impeaching Ma Shumou, saying that he ignored the people's livelihood and forced the people to dig canals. What's more, they said that Ma Shumou liked to eat children's meat and had a poor life. Eat human flesh and drink human blood.
Chu Yunfei was silent. Before Ma Shumou left, this man came to Chu Yunfei and said that since he was trusted by the emperor and sent to dig the canal, he should go all out and fight to the death. This was just a project. It's really an offending business. I hope your Majesty can withstand the pressure. When someone shoots me behind my back, I hope your Majesty can save my life.
At that time, Chu Yunfei patted his chest as a guarantee, and then he coaxed the boy to turn his fear into joy, and happily took Wang Bodang and other group of hard-working people on the road. Ma Shumou, this boy is really good at it. After taking office, , the project progressed very quickly, but then bad things happened.
Chu Yunfei lowered his head and looked at the memorial, and after a long time he said: "Uncle Ma, this guy is so bold and reckless. All my hard work is really in vain! He bullies the people like this, without distinguishing between good and good, and I am greatly disappointed, Changsun Sheng!"
Changsun Sheng hurriedly came out of the queue and said, "I'm here!"
Chu Yunfei raised his head and glanced at Changsun Sheng and said: "General Changsun, I will order you to read out my decree. Uncle Ma will execute this guy on the spot for being so bold and reckless to vent the anger of the people!"
Changsun Sheng was slightly startled and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Chu Yunfei. He saw his eyes were deep and he was staring down quietly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
Meeting Chu Yunfei's eyes, Changsun Sheng couldn't help but feel slightly shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes! I will obey the emperor's decree!"
Chu Yunfei looked a little tired, waved his hands to the ministers and said: "My heart aches. Uncle Ma planned to accompany me to conquer the north and south, and he was recommended to me by his patron prince. Unexpectedly, he failed to live up to my wishes. My heart aches. ah!"
With that said, Chu Yunfei waved his hand downwards, signaling to disperse.
Changsun Sheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that the imperial edict had not been obtained yet, so why did the court disperse?
Chu Yunfei raised his head and glanced at Changsun Sheng and said, "I almost forgot, General Changsun, please follow me to the harem. I will issue an order right now."
Changsun Sheng responded and followed Chu Yun to fly to the harem.
Chu Yunfei ordered Chang Sun Sheng to see tea and sit down. After the two sat down, Chu Yunfei turned to look at Chang Sun Sheng and said: "Brother Chang Sun, I have been busy these days. I didn't have time to catch up with Brother Chang Sun. I wish you the best, Brother Sun, Haihan."
