Recalling the original background of the world, Luo Ning realized that there was also a crisis hidden under the peaceful and prosperous age. Although Xiao Yi single-handedly controlled the power of the government, he did not have the aura of a protagonist. There were still people secretly coveting the throne. All the trajectories were running for the sake of giving... The real protagonists pave the way.
Luo Ning wanted to take precautions and not let Xiao Yi get hurt. Emperors who were overthrown from the throne never ended well.
He wanted to remind Xiao Yi of what was going on in the south. One night, the heat was gone, the dark sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and a heavy rain poured down, hitting the glazed tiles, making a dull and messy sound.
Luo Ning curled up in Xiao Yi's arms, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she had a nightmare, Xiao Yi gently stroked his back to comfort him, Luo Ning grabbed the corner of Xiao Yi's clothes, "Your Majesty, I just had a dream. "
"There was a lot of water, the mountains collapsed, the Qisang border was flooded, there was a famine in that area and many people died of starvation, and a plague broke out later."
"This nightmare is too real, not like a dream at all."
Luo Ning could only use this stupid way to remind him that the Qisang border was closest to the south of Lin Dynasty and was mostly covered with high mountains and ravines, so it was easy for floods to break out.
At first, several counties in the south were flooded, and the plague began to spread. However, they were too far away from the imperial court in the capital, and local officials did not act to control it in time. Then it quickly spread to the capital. Those officials did not think of reporting it at first, and were still worried about being punished, deliberately concealed it, but when it became clear that the fire could not be contained, the situation was already very serious.
Luo Ning raised his head and looked at Xiao Yi, "Your Majesty, my intuition has always been very accurate. What if it really rains heavily there and the ground is full of hungry people?"
"It's better to send someone to inquire before I feel relieved. I happen to want to eat lychees from the south. They can send some back."
He was worried that Xiao Yi wouldn't believe it. After all, who would believe in a dream?
Xiao Yi thought of the severe famine a few years ago, which severely damaged the vitality of the imperial court. It took great difficulty to stabilize the situation and restore vitality.
Logically speaking, if something really happened, the prefect should report it.
But listening to the rain outside the window, he felt a little irritable for no reason.
There is no harm in asking about it. Speaking of which, he may not have known about the situation in those cities for a long time.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and messengers had to rush to deliver memorials. By the time they finally arrived, half a month had passed.
It just so happened that the first place the messenger arrived was Jiangzhou City, which was also the area that was first submerged by the flood.
At that time, the magistrate and magistrate had already looked sad and had no intention of having fun and drinking flowers and wine. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. They had been officials here for several years and had colluded with each other. Even if they did something bad, they could easily hide it, and gradually they lost their temper and forgot the original intention.
As early as a month ago, there were floods in several counties below Jiangzhou. Many people died. The food grown in the fields and stored in warehouses were washed away by the water. The people were lucky if they were alive.
There was no food, and the county magistrate reported it. They were drinking happily, and they didn't care about so much. They randomly allocated some food and grass and ordered the county magistrate to pacify the people.
But who would have thought that there would be a plague, and it would come with such ferocity that not only a large number of patients died in the county, but also people in the prefecture were infected. The plague is a serious disease. If a person catches it, they will die quickly, and it is not easy to cure. Well, who is not afraid of death? Now people from every household dare not go to the streets.
At this time, officials at all levels began to worry, looking for smart doctors to find ways to control the plague. They all knew that the current emperor was cruel and ruthless. Wouldn't they die faster? Once such things were revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and they still hoped to cover it up. In the past, the plague was so severe this time.
Just when they were at a loss what to do, the emperor actually sent a messenger.
Now cold sweat was streaming down his face. The Jiangzhou magistrate fell to the ground with a horrified look on his face. He knew he was finished.
Your Majesty specifically asked about the situation in Jiangzhou City. Do they know any news?
He's afraid he can't hide this matter anymore.
Not daring to cover up any more, the prefect of Jiangzhou wrote a memorial with a face ashen as death, truthfully explaining the plague in Jiangzhou City.
When the news came back to the court, the court was filled with depression. Everyone lowered their heads and changed their expressions after hearing about the plague. Who would have thought that the prefect of Jiangzhou City was so bold. Regardless of the severity, everyone knew how terrible the plague was, but they still suppressed it.
The plague is so serious, and symptoms should be reported as soon as they appear. Now it will be clear that the prefect of Jiangzhou City must have deliberately suppressed the matter, and also caused people in other cities to be infected with the plague.
Xiao Yi tore up the memorial, his expression was cold, his eyes were like hardened ice, and his breath was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
Ordered people to escort local officials back to the capital for trial.
He also allocated money and herbs for disaster relief, and sent several highly respected imperial doctors to investigate the source of the plague and urgently discuss a treatment method.
The plague must be dealt with quickly and the places destroyed by floods must be rebuilt.
These things kept Xiao Yi busy, and the fire in the study never went out. Fortunately, things have not reached the worst point yet.
Luo Ning also felt depressed. The death toll was too scary, and some sick people were burned alive. It was too cruel.
He has no medical skills and does not know how to treat the plague. The situation of the plague is too complicated. The conditions are different due to bacteria, reptiles, mice and other reasons, and the treatment methods are also different.
Luo Ning didn't know the specific prescription, so he recalled the information he had accumulated in modern times, as well as the basic plague prevention and control methods he learned when he acted in related costume dramas. He didn't know if they were useful, so he wrote them all down.
Not only medical treatment is necessary, isolation and hygiene are also important.
Luo Ning listed them down one by one and gave them to Xiao Yi to look at. Xiao Yi asked the imperial hospital about the feasibility of these methods. After analysis, the imperial doctor determined that they were beneficial and harmless. Some of them were the same as their accumulated experience, and some methods were very different. It's novel and can be promoted and given a try.
While the capital was paying attention to the situation in Jiangzhou City, and the ministers sent there were urgently trying to find ways to control the disease, some people did not want this natural disaster to pass and planned to take the opportunity to cause more trouble.
The northwest territory is vast, but extremely barren and desolate. The third prince who came to the northwest to farm and herd sheep put away the letter, and thought deeply in his eyes, thinking that this was a good opportunity.
The third prince is not a native of this world. He came from time travel and thought he could be a rich prince. Little did he know that he would be sent to herd sheep in the northwest when he first arrived.
The northwest is miserable. He was a prince who turned into an old farmer. The third prince is not willing to live such a life. He wants to leave the northwest. He also has raging ambitions. He has traveled through time, so he must make some big mistakes, which man doesn't want his name to go down in history, how can he be so aggrieved as to herd sheep?
Hearing that the person who ascended the throne was a tyrant, the third prince's heart was filled with excitement, and his calculations started to crackle. What qualifications does a tyrant have to be an emperor? According to the routines of those TV series and novels, the tyrant should die a bad death.
Not only does he want to leave this place, but he also wants to compete for the throne. With such a special origin, his journey to become an emperor would be in vain!
The Third Prince had already been defeated when he traveled back in time, and his influence had been uprooted, but he still secretly retained some connections in the capital.
The northwest is poor, but it is far away from the capital. The third prince has lived here for two years. Before he time traveled, he was a highly skilled doctor. He had a natural advantage in the backward ancient times. By treating diseases and making pills, he was honest on the surface. Herding sheep, lowering the court's vigilance against him, and making money through medicine, he tried every means to bribe the officials who supervised him.
After that, he used various means to earn money in the northwest to make his life more comfortable and raise a group of soldiers privately.
When he learned that the only son of the general guarding the northwest was sick, he used his medical skills to cure the child, thus gaining asylum and support.
He maintained his old connections and secretly made more connections. In order to get into that position, he even made a deal with the Hu State on the northwest border.
Hu State has been recuperating their strength and is also eyeing the Lin Dynasty.
The third prince couldn't wait any longer. He had been dormant for several years, and his power in the northwest was relatively stable. He had no patience to continue. When he learned that there was a plague in the south, he immediately thought of a way. He knew the horror of the plague and wanted to take advantage of this disaster to create opportunities for himself.
As a powerful doctor, he not only knew how to treat the plague, but also knew how to spread the plague faster. He didn't want the plague to be controlled. He had to let the court spend energy on this matter.
The third prince ordered people to spread the plague according to his method. A piece of clothes of a sick person, or some blood of a sick person, could spread the plague.
So when the imperial doctor finally tried out the most suitable method, the plague spread even faster.
They worked tirelessly to bring the situation under control, and silver and medicinal herbs from the court were constantly being sent. What is strange is why people in the capital began to be infected, causing panic. After the plague appeared in carious prefectures and cities, the movement of people was blocked through the country, so how could it possibly spread to the capital?
Xiao Yi also realized that something was unusual and sent someone to investigate.
Luo Ning knew the complete development background of this world and whose method it was. The person who caused a lot of trouble for Lin Dynasty was the third prince who rushed to herd the sheep. He still had a sense of existence in the background of this world.
The third prince was vicious and had no limits on what he could do, but he was extremely capable, causing the Lin Dynasty to be in turmoil. It was he who first absorbed most of the firepower in the contest with Xiao Yi.
But he is not the protagonist. What he did finally paved the way for the protagonist and caused heavy damage to the Lin Dynasty, which allowed the protagonist to seize the throne so smoothly.
Luo Ning knew the truth, but had no evidence and could not tell Xiao Yi directly. He was currently focusing on another matter. He could follow the clues and let Xiao Yi find out about the third prince.
He paid special attention to the incense smoked in the Zichen Palace and the Study Room. The most commonly used incense in these two places was agarwood and sandalwood, and the smell was relatively light and long-lasting.
Luo Ning paid special attention to these two spices and keenly noticed something was wrong. She seemed to say casually: "Your Majesty, the fragrance in the palace seems to be a little strange."
The Tyrant Becomes A Love Brain 8
In Luo Ning's impression, during the severe period of the plague, someone tampered with the sandalwood used in the palace and added a rare spice containing toxins. The smell of this spice was almost non-existent. Xiao Yi was busy dealing with disaster relief. There is no time to take care of things.
Moreover, the toxicity of that spice does not occur immediately. It only explodes after accumulating in the human body. Like poppy, it can cause addiction, hallucinations, head tingling, and a more irritable and irritable temper. The antidote is difficult to find.
Xiao Yi, who was poisoned, could not handle government affairs normally, and could not control his murderous desire. He established himself as a tyrant and aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers. In addition, Hu State took the opportunity to invade the border, and the third prince from the northwest colluded with him. There is an opportunity to take advantage of.
Hearing Luo Ning's words, Xiao Yi came over and after a careful sniff, he could detect a hint of sweet fragrance mixed with it. He frowned, his dark pupils were bottomless, and his face was covered with a layer of frost.
Turning to look at Luo Ning, he held Luo Ning in his arms, hugged him tightly slowly, and kissed Luo Ning's temples.
He was not stupid, so he naturally noticed the difference in Concubine Luo. The deliberate reminder of the previous flood, and the current incense, were all such coincidences. He didn't care whether Concubine Luo knew anything, he believed in Concubine Luo.
Luo Ning stroked Xiao Yi's back distressedly. It was really hard to be the emperor.
Knowing that the incense was strange, Xiao Yi did not alert the snake and ordered people to investigate secretly.
In the end, it was discovered that a certain medical officer had tampered with the situation. The man was stopped when he wanted to commit suicide, and was put into prison and tortured for interrogation.
Following a few clues, he found out that it was Concubine Mu who had inserted her. Concubine Mu was the late emperor's favorite concubine before his death. She entered the palace at a young age to serve the elderly late emperor. While they were vying for favor, the late emperor died and she was sent to the Taoist temple.
Concubine Mu has no heirs and no motive for poisoning. There should be someone behind the plan. Based on these few clues, it was found that Concubine Mu had secretly sent letters to the northwest in recent months. After several twists and turns, the letter actually got into the hands of the third prince, with whom he had an affair and worked for the third prince.
Xiao Yi found out that even this plague is related to the third prince. He is afraid that the third prince is not easy in the northwest.
He didn't kill the third prince at the beginning, and it was considered a kindness of his to drive the third prince to herd the sheep. He should have eradicated the problem in the first place. That soft-heartedness laid the foundation for the current disaster.
Xiao Yi eradicated the third prince's influence in the capital, dispatched an army, and ordered the third prince to be escorted back to the capital.
As for Concubine Mu having an affair with someone and intending to murder him, she was also deprived of her title and demoted to the lowest form of slave.
After the group of officials in Jiangzhou City were executed, the blood of the Meridian Gate once again stained the bluestone floor. The strong smell of blood floated in the air and lingered for a long time, which was a deterrent to restless people.
The officials in the court tightened their tails, became more cautious in their words and deeds, and behaved loyally.
The third prince, who realized that his news had been cut off, had an ugly expression on his face. He had a keen sense of an unknown premonition. He felt that he might have been exposed. If he did not take the opportunity to rebel, he would be waiting for death.
What qualifications does a tyrant have to sit in the position of the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being (the emperor)? The most important thing for a monarch is benevolence. A villain like Xiao Yi should have abdicated long ago.
Only with such a special origin can he control the power of the world. He knows so much modern advanced knowledge and can make this dynasty more prosperous after becoming emperor.
Although he was a little afraid, the ambition of the third prince prevailed, and he immediately wrote a book to the Hu State. He had allies, controlled part of the army in the northwest, accumulated a lot of money and food, and gave Sun Tzu's Art of War to his soldiers to study.
The most important thing is that the Lin Dynasty already had crude cannons, but the third prince also focused on improving them to make them more powerful.
In his opinion, this can compete with Lin Dynasty's army, and his preparations are almost complete.
Lin Dynasty has been busy treating the plague recently, and the situation is unstable. Isn't this just taking advantage of his illness to kill him?
The third prince imagined a bright future in which he ascended to the highest position, with all the people worshiping him, with beauties in his arms, and enjoying all the glory and wealth. He couldn't help laughing, and his confidence suddenly grew. He wrote a letter to mobilize people, unite the Hu State, and plan to win Lin. When it was too late to prepare, it was hit hard and unexpectedly.
One night, he led his men in a surprise attack and attacked a small city in the northwest. Then he captured two cities one after another, which was regarded as a formal war with the imperial court.
The plague was brought under control, but civil strife broke out in the northwest. The border of Lin Dynasty was breached. The ministers had a lively discussion in the court. They all agreed that troops should be sent to suppress the rebels. The third prince colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed Lin Dynasty. He should be punished with ten thousand deaths.
Xiao Yi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, opened his eyes. He looked slightly tired. He had been busy with more things recently than before. He originally became emperor just to avenge his enemies and control his own destiny. It was not because he loved his people like a son, he just sat there. Being in this position requires him to bear due responsibilities.
What the third prince did this time, and Hu State's taking advantage of the situation, were all provocations to him.
While the ministers were discussing which general should be sent to fight against the rebels, Xiao Yi said coldly: "This time I plan to personally lead the expedition, not only to quell the civil strife, but also to defeat the Hu Kingdom."
Hu Kingdom is always restless and has caused him so much trouble. It must pay the price.
The third prince also died a long time ago. He thought that rebellion was so easy, but he underestimated the strength of the Lin Dynasty.
The ministers quickly tried to dissuade him, but they could never interfere with Xiao Yi's decision. Suddenly, they remembered that this emperor fought in the army for training when he was young, and then fought his way out of the competition for the throne.
The Hu State should indeed learn a painful lesson. This expedition can enhance the country's prestige.
No one said anything now, and it was finally decided to let Xiao Yi and General Protector go to pacify the northwest.
Luo Ning also learned about Xiao Yi's decision from the eunuch.
He knew that the third prince had completely angered Xiao Yi this time, and Xiao Yi would not give up until he returned in person to take revenge, but the swords on the battlefield had no eyes, and he was very worried about Xiao Yi being injured, and his expression could not hide his anxiety.
Xiao Yi held him in his arms, rubbed away Luo Ning's frown, kissed Luo Ning on the lips, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Xiao Yi was not afraid of seeing blood on the battlefield, nor was he afraid of being injured, but he seemed to be missing him now. He was a little reluctant to leave Concubine Luo when he thought that he could not take him with him.
Luo Ning raised his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, you must be careful. I will wait for you in the palace."
He didn't know anything, so he couldn't accompany Xiao Yi, and he didn't understand military strategy, so he tried his best to do what he could from other places. Time was too tight, so Luo Ning took the time to do what he wanted to do.
For example, let the imperial doctor make more blood-enhancing elixirs, write down methods for making gunpowder shells, how to make better soft armor shields, and dry food. The environment in the army is simple, so he can't always eat steamed buns and pancakes. Luo Ning made people come up with instant noodles and dehydrated vegetables.
After the rush, the time to set off was approaching unknowingly.
The night before leaving, Xiao Yi pressed Luo Ning under him and pressed fierce kisses on Luo Ning's body, as thin and dense as a violent storm.
There were some beads of sweat on his sexy back, as well as red marks from Luo Ning's scratches.
His eyes were fixed on the person beneath him, with a strong possessiveness. At this moment, he was like a beast breaking free from its restraints, without any of his usual gentleness.
Hearing Luo Ning's cry, Xiao Yi kissed away the tears from the corners of Luo Ning's eyes. Such a delicate Concubine Luo was not at ease when he left, so he ordered the palace officials to take good care of him.
But Concubine Luo likes to cry so much, is so clingy, and loves him so much. Will he cry all day long when he can't see him?
Xiao Yi regretted his plan for a moment. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and said in a hoarse voice: "Remember to write a letter to Gu."
Luo Ning nodded vaguely, his eyes were covered with mist, and his eyelashes were wet. He leaned obediently in Xiao Yi's arms, looking pitiful and cute.
Xiao Yi's expression suddenly softened, and he gently left a mark on Luo Ning's porcelain white neck.
When he comes back this time, he will give Concubine Luo a title and canonize him as queen. Concubine Luo will definitely be crazy with joy.
Normally, he dislikes Concubine Luo for being coquettish, too clingy, too troublesome, and not reserved or dignified at all. In fact, Concubine Luo is his most precious treasure.
Xiao Yi gently stroked Luo Ning's back and coaxed him to sleep. When the sky was just bright, he kissed Luo Ning's cheek and left the Zichen Palace. This time he put on cold armor, which made him look even more tough and his breath was cold. Sharp, like an unsheathed sword, showing its sharp edge.
When Luo Ning woke up, it was already cold beside the bed. When he rushed to the city gate, he could only see the shadow of the team retreating.
Luo Ning felt a little lost. At first, he didn't feel that when he was eating alone, walking alone, and sleeping alone, Luo Ning lost sleep and began to miss Xiao Yi. He had long been used to Xiao Yi being around, and now he is lying on the spacious bed, he always felt that such a big palace was empty, and he couldn't sleep despite tossing and turning.
But this was only the first day. In ancient times, there was no mobile communication, and it was inconvenient to send a letter. It would take at least three months for Xiao Yi to come back. He was probably withering in this state.
When Luo Ning counted the 1300th cake, he finally fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, there were two obvious dark circles on his fair skin.
Luo Ning tried his best to get used to such days. He planned to keep himself busy so as to divert his attention.
In addition to paying attention to the epidemic and post-disaster reconstruction, Luo Ning also plans to develop the economy, which is what he is good at, and to benefit the country and the people. The operation of such a large country does require money. This disaster relief has cost the national treasury a lot of money.
Luo Ning's status does not allow him to leave the palace often, and it is not safe outside the palace. He cannot do business himself, but he can let some people manage it outside the palace. He only needs to provide methods and plans.
Then one shop after another opened in the capital, some selling food, some selling clothes, and some selling rouge jewelry. The items inside were extremely novel and varied, which quickly attracted the attention of customers, and business gradually became prosperous. The shop opened branches one after another and became the most popular place in the capital.
The Tyrant Becomes A Love Brain 9
Luo Ning was busy with his career, his time was packed, and he was used to being alone. He had no time to think about things anymore. His food was sweet and his sleep was comfortable.
Before falling asleep, he vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, but his eyelids drooped heavily, and he was too lazy to think about it.
In the far northwest, the wind whistled, and the faint moonlight shone on the dark sky. In Lin'an City, the largest city in the northwest, a fire was lit, and elite teams entered the city one after another, with a huge word "Lin" embroidered on the flag.
Xiao Yi led his troops to rest temporarily in Lin'an City. He had not fought on the battlefield for many years, but when he arrived on the battlefield, he did not fall behind at all. Whether it was the means of killing the enemy or the strategy of arranging troops, he was excellent.
In the past two months, the real war started with the Third Prince and the Hu State, and the two captured cities were successfully recovered.
When the situation was tense, the third prince realized that he had underestimated the enemy. The real war was more cruel than he imagined, and the Lin Dynasty was not that easy to deal with.
But he knew that the outcome of his retreat would be a dead end. If he won the bet, he would be the master of the world.
The third prince was trembling while inflating his ambitions. In order to deal with Xiao Yi's army, he tried every means to let people sneak in and poison him, or to burn Xiao Yi's food and grass. As a result, those who were bribed were all caught and his plans failed.
The third prince wanted to increase his chances of winning and hurriedly launched his own improved cannon. He felt that the ancient natives could not resist such thermal weapons. A single cannonball could seriously injure the opponent. However, he did not expect that the Lin Dynasty's army also had gunpowder cannonballs. And the effect is more violent than his weapons.
The third prince was dumbfounded and didn't understand why the natives could develop such powerful artillery shells.
His advantage was being destroyed bit by bit, and he really started to get scared.
The victorious Lin Dynasty army celebrated and rested temporarily in Lin'an City.
Xiao Yi counted the days with a gloomy expression on his face, and the dried meat Luo Ning made by himself no longer tasted good.
It has been a long time since Luo Ning last sent a letter.
Xiao Yi carefully stroked the piece of letter paper. Even if it was inconvenient for his dearest concubine to pass the letter, it wouldn't have been so long.
Those soldiers all had their wives sending letters home.
Didn't Concubine Luo love him miserably? Didn't he miss him?
It's impossible to forget him.
Xiao Yi's face became even worse. This was absolutely impossible. Concubine Luo was so proactive and clingy. He must have driven him crazy. He didn't write a letter just because he didn't want to disturb him.
That's definitely the case.
Xiao Yi thought about Concubine Luo every night, imagining whether Concubine Luo would cry or be hungry. He wanted to return to the capital, and was determined to quickly resolve the war in the northwest and return to the capital in triumph.
Luo Ning, who was worried about Xiao Yi, finally remembered what he had forgotten. He was so busy recently that he forgot to write a letter to Xiao Yi, so he immediately got up and took out some.
Because he felt a little guilty, he kept coming out with nice sweet words, and wrote several large articles, asking Xiao Yi to pay attention to his health and safety. He missed the other party, blahblahblah.
Xiao Yi, who was full of resentment, finally received the letter he had been thinking about for half a month. His gloomy face finally showed a smile and he immediately unfolded the letter.
Looking down little by little, he curled up the corners of his mouth.
He knew that Concubine Luo was thinking of him. Look at how sincere and passionate these words were.
The Tyrant Becomes A Love Brain 10
Xiao Yi went back and forth to read the letter several times, imagining his wife Concubine Luo, with eyes full of admiration, obediently lying on the table writing a letter, and his heart softened, but he didn't quite understand the strange patterns drawn at the end.
After looking at it horizontally and vertically for a while, he finally understood. This symbol looks a bit like a pouty kiss.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but have a sweet smile in his eyes.
Concubine Luo just likes to act coquettishly and is so unsubtle.
He must miss him very much. Concubine Luo used to like to pester him for a kiss. Now he must be so sad without him by his side.
Xiao Yi felt a little sad and wanted to touch his head to comfort him. Knowing that Concubine Luo was waiting for him, Xiao Yi felt a strong desire to return to the palace.
He picked up the brush and returned several pieces of paper, carefully comforting Luo Ning, asking him to eat well, sleep well, and not lose weight because he missed him too much. Finally, he clumsily drew a few strange symbols.
Xiao Yi didn't want to stay in the northwest and blew the cold wind, so he accelerated the process of conquering the Hu Kingdom. He fought fiercely and decisively on the battlefield, causing the third prince's army to retreat steadily. When the last city was recovered, the third prince's remaining soldiers and defeated generals were driven into a canyon.
The third prince ran away in panic. His hair was messy and his armor was stained with stinking blood. He looked very haggard, breathing heavily, and his heart was filled with fear.
No matter how ambitious he is, he has never been baptized by war, so he can't compare to Xiao Yi's cruelty.
It's because he thought too wonderfully.
Now there is no way out.
The third prince is afraid. He has not even been able to sleep well recently. When he closes his eyes, his eyes are filled with bright blood gurgling. He is afraid of death. He doesn't want to die. It will hurt so much to die like this.
But the third prince suddenly felt tired again. The knife kept hanging on his neck and he was always worried. This was also torture.
In a daze, he heard the screams of his men. The third prince knew that he could not escape. His sunken eyes were full of reluctance. He didn't know if he could go back to the modern age if he died like this.
The sound of piercing the air came from behind, carrying a sharp momentum. Two sharp arrows pierced his chest and thighs. The cold feeling penetrated into his bones and flesh. The third prince fell to the ground and closed his eyes unwillingly.
The sound of wind drifted in the canyon, blowing away the strong smell of blood. The sound of the handover of weapons finally disappeared, replaced by the cheers of Lin Dynasty's soldiers, who finally destroyed the rebels.
These victories boosted their morale, and they became more convinced of Xiao Yi's imperial career, and attacked the Hu State with overwhelming force.
Because of their ancestry, all of the Hu people were strong and brutal, and they were used to being on horseback, so they were more difficult to deal with.
It's just that the people in this country have well-developed limbs, but they are not that cunning. At first, they did have an advantage with their brute force, but they gradually fell behind.
The winter was harsh, and the northwest was especially cold. The cold, dry wind blew loudly, cutting into the face like a knife. The army of the Lin Dynasty had sufficient food, grass and cotton clothes to support them, so this battle would not be too difficult.
After the New Year, just as spring was about to pick up, the State of Hu was finally defeated. The army invaded King Hu's palace. The monarch of Hu State surrendered decadently and had to sign a contract, and the territory was included in the area of Lin Dynasty.
The army of Lin Dynasty could finally return to the country. After being away from home for half a year, they finally returned. Everyone had a smile on their face and couldn't wait to go home.
Xiao Yi was also eager to return home. The letter written by his wife Concubine Luo was placed neatly on his chest, which made his heart burn hot and he wanted to hold Concubine Luo in his arms and be intimate.
The return journey was relatively fast. In more than a month, they entered the capital.
The good news has long been passed back to the capital. Now no one is talking about Xiao Yi as a tyrant. The people regard Xiao Yi as a hero and are full of admiration.
They only know that during Xiao Yi's reign, natural disasters were suppressed, plagues were cured, and enemy invaders were driven back. To them, this was a responsible emperor.
The well-trained and majestic army marched through the bustling streets. The streets were packed with water on both sides, and the people welcomed the return of the army.
Xiao Yi rode back to the palace first. When he saw Luo Ning rushing towards the palace gate, he strode over.
Luo Ning was stunned. Xiao Yi at this time was a little different from what he remembered. He was dressed in black cold armor, his face became more resolute, his eyebrows were deeper and sharper, and there was some stubble on his chin, with an edge and evil aura, which made him a little afraid to get close.
He was suddenly embraced into a cold and spacious embrace, and his waist was tightly clasped. Luo Ning said softly: "Your Majesty, are you back?"
Xiao Yi kissed Luo Ning's cheek and hummed softly. Concubine Luo was stunned. He must have been so happy.
Xiao Yi understood this feeling. After all, Concubine Luo had seen him in his dream. The image of his own headstone appeared in his mind. Pity suddenly rose in his heart. He kissed Luo Ning's lips and licked Luo Ning's lips, swept away Luo Ning's breath, the movement was quick and violent.
Luo Ning was almost out of breath, but he didn't push Xiao Yi away. He still tilted his head obediently, facing Xiao Yi's kiss, and the longing he had accumulated burst out. Only such intimacy can restrain his excited emotions.
After the breath on his lips moved away, Luo Ning's lips were already red, as red as the petals of a delicate crabapple, and his eyes were filled with moist water. He looked at Xiao Yi's face and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, your beard, it hurts my face."
Xiao Yi was dissatisfied. At such a moment, Concubine Luo was really confused and paid attention to his beard.
Xiao Yi bit Luo Ning's face. He was worried that his image would not look good, so he immediately went to take a bath, wash up and change his clothes.
After returning to his handsome appearance, he picked up Luo Ning and kicked the door of Zichen Palace shut.
Pressing Luo Ning on the soft quilt, he leaned down and kissed his full length. His hot thin lips followed the beautiful white neck, slid down to the delicate collarbone, and nibbled gently.
A series of plum blossom-like marks are branded on the porcelain white skin, which looks extremely conspicuous.
They hadn't been affectionate for a long time. Luo Ning hugged Xiao Yi nervously, his face flushed and a little uneasy, but he still clung to Xiao Yi's arms, his eyes flickered slightly, and he even took the initiative to kiss Xiao Yi's adam's apple.
Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly darkened, and he tightened his waist with his hands. The force was strong and undisguisedly aggressive, and the body temperature on his body seemed to burn Luo Ning.
The overwhelming kiss fell, and the ferocious beast that had been imprisoned for a long time was released and fiercely devoured Luo Ning.
Just like the night when he went to the northwest, Xiao Yi was not gentle at all, which made Luo Ning tremble slightly with fear. His toes curled up slightly, his eyelashes trembled, and there were tears at the end of his eyes. He couldn't bear to push Xiao Yi away, and let out a cry in his throat, sobbing like a small animal.
Xiao Yi asked hoarsely: "Does Concubine Luo think about me every day when he's alone?"
Luo Ning was vaguely conscious and speechless, so he could only nod her head.
Xiao Yi wiped the sweat from his temples, and his heart was finally filled.
Luo Ning understood what a rag doll was. His arms and legs had been reorganized, and there were shocking marks on his back. He stayed in Xiao Yi's arms obediently, waiting for Xiao Yi to apply medicine to him. He turned his head shyly and looked at Xiao angrily and bit his chest.
Xiao Yi patted his butt and deliberately seduced him, "do you still want to get out of this dormitory?"
Luo Ning was honest now, he couldn't afford to offend this ferocious hungry wolf.
After a long separation, the two of them felt most reluctant to part with each other. They didn't want to do anything else, so they just hugged each other. Even if they didn't do anything else but murmured and talked, they felt satisfied.
Xiao Yi whispered: "Now that I'm back alone, I'll let you get what you want. How about making you the queen?"
Luo Ning was surprised, why did the topic jump to this, "Your Majesty, why is it so sudden?"
Luo Ning doesn't mind about status. As long as he is the only one in the harem, no matter whether he is a concubine or a queen, he is the same. Name is not important.
Xiao Yi pinched Luo Ning's cheek and said, "Gu has been thinking about it for a long time. This is what you want most. You will always be by Gu's side, so I will reluctantly agree to it."
Luo Ning was confused and explained: "Your Majesty, I didn't think about it that way."
Xiao Yi had a look of disbelief and looked at Luo Ning with suspicious eyes, as if he had seen through everything, telling Luo Ning not to tell what he meant, "My beloved, there is no need to hide it, I understand it all, you want to stay with me for the rest of your life and dominate me. Now that you have a harem, don't you just want to be a lonely queen?"
Concubine Luo Fei still doesn't want to admit it, is it interesting to lie like this? He has already known all about that little trick. Now that he got what he wanted, he must be secretly happy and crazy.
Luo Ning was helpless and felt that what Xiao Yi said made sense. If he wanted to monopolize the favor, he should be the queen.
Xiao Yi deliberately took three days off, and then went to court radiantly with the spring breeze. He first rewarded the meritorious ministers, and then gave instructions on how to govern the Hu Kingdom. Finally, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and mentioned marriage.
None of the ministers below could react. His Majesty was in a hurry to get married as soon as he came back. Who would he marry after his position has been vacant for so many years?
After hearing what Xiao Yi said next, their eyes widened.
What? He actually wanted Concubine Luo to be the queen!?
How can this be done?
No matter how good-looking Concubine Luo is, he is still a man and cannot give birth to children, which is not conducive to the stability of the country and the country. His majesty's favor is okay, but he cannot give him a posthumous position.
They quickly stood up to dissuade him, but they still could not interfere with Xiao Yi's decision.
Xiao Yi said coldly: "Concubine Luo is beautiful, smart, and has a righteous heart. Why can't he be the queen?"
"You have said so much, are you marrying the queen alone, or are you marrying her?"
His concubine Luo was so good. He helped grow food to fight famine, made suggestions for the plague, prepared supplies for the army, and did business to fill the treasury. Why couldn't he be the queen?
To put it bluntly, this is not a consultation, but a direct notification. How can he have the patience to listen to these people's jabbering? As for the heir, the worst he can do is find a child from the clan to train him in the future.
He doesn't want children yet, so as not to steal Concubine Luo's attention.
Xiao Yi has always been unruly, making decisions that no one else can comment on. Hearing the anger hidden in Xiao Yi's voice, the group of people below shook their shoulders and shrank back like quails.
The Tyrant Becomes A Love Brain End
The Ministry of Rites quickly selected a good and auspicious day. According to His Majesty's request, the sooner the better.
When the female embroidery craftsmen were busy making auspicious clothes and hair crowns.
His Majesty, who was waiting to get married, was locked outside the bedroom door. Looking at the closed door in front of him, Xiao Yi fell into silence.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Luo actually locked him out.
Since Xiao Yi came back from the northwest, Luo Ning ended the days of guarding the empty house alone. He felt sorry for Xiao Yi's hard work in the war and allowed Xiao Yi to fool around for a long time.
All the bones in his body were sore and painful.
The dog man didn't restrain himself at all, he wanted to bite all his bones into pieces.
Luo Ning couldn't bear it anymore, so he kicked him down and slept in a separate bed. Xiao Yi was so shameless that he moved the other bed in the hall, and insisted on pushing in like a normal person, and even hugged him and kissed him.
Luo Ning kicked the person out in anger, asking for some peace and quiet, and slept comfortably on the spacious bed.
Xiao Yi's expression was very subtle, a little confused. This was the first time he faced this situation. He stood there frozen, not knowing what to do.
Concubine Luo is so clingy to him and likes to pester him so much.
How could it be possible to shut him outside and let the cold wind blow in?
The little eunuch who was serving him lowered his head. His Majesty was really manipulated by his wife, just like a strict wife. He wanted to laugh a little in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He stepped forward cautiously, "Your Majesty, your Majesty. Maybe you need to rest, or should I arrange another dormitory?"
Xiao Yi coughed slightly, pretending not to care and said: "No, I just remembered that there are still memorials that have not been reviewed, so let's go to the study room first."
Concubine Luo is too indulgent, why doesn't he save some face for him?
He is more favored, but isn't this just to satisfy Concubine Luo?
Xiao Yi complained while huddled on the soft floor of the study. His arms were empty and he felt a little deserted.
Knowing that he had made people angry, he coaxed him with gentle words for several days before he re-entered the Zichen Palace.
The wedding day also came soon. The palace was filled with festive red soft silk. The emperor and empress got married, and the ceremony was naturally grand.
Luo Ning was dressed in a luxurious red wedding dress, outlined with beautiful golden silk threads, with a ring around his waist. His dark hair was spread behind him, fixed with a white jade hairpin, and his cheeks were rosy, making him look as delicate as a peach blossom.
Luo Ning was almost stunned by his beauty. This outfit looked good, but the hair crown was too heavy.
Xiao Yi softened his eyebrows, hugged Luo Ning in his arms, stopped being harsh, bit Luo Ning's earlobe and said, "Concubine Luo is very beautiful."
Luo Ning met his burning eyes, her cheeks turned redder, and he twisted Xiao Yi's waist to make him look more serious.
Luo Ning was a little nervous about such a formal occasion. He didn't understand the complicated etiquette and was afraid of making mistakes at the wedding, so he practiced it several times in private.
Holding Xiao Yi's hand, he walked slowly towards the high platform, where hundreds of civil and military officials were worshiping below.
Luo Ning's head was dizzy. He followed Xiao Yi's rhythm throughout the whole process and only relaxed after returning to the Zichen Palace.
After drinking a glass of wine with Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi helped take off the heavy hair crown on his head.
When Luo Ning was pulling at the skirt of his clothes because of the heat, he was picked up by Xiao Yi and walked towards the bathing pool behind the palace. In the clear water, Xiao Yi took off his clothes, leaving only a thin layer of red inside.
Luo Ning was soaked by the water, looming, and outlines the shapely and soft curves. The temples are stained with water mist, and the clear water droplets slide down from the porcelain white skin. It is as charming and beautiful as a siren, and can easily seduce people's hearts.
Xiao Yi's eyes were like deep pools, bottomless, and he kissed Luo Ning's lips, absorbing the remaining fragrance of the wine.
There were ripples on the surface of the pool.
The two goblins fought for a while before falling asleep.
......
There is a big difference between people who have a wife and those who don't. Xiao Yi's whole person has become much gentler, like a violent lion being calmed down.
He is busy with government affairs during the day and spends time with his wife at night.
Xiao Yi was not a particularly hard-working emperor. Except for special circumstances, he was rarely busy until midnight. Seeing that the courtiers always talked a lot in their memorials, he asked them to simplify their words and say what they wanted directly. This reduces a lot of workload.
He was a bit of a salty fish, but he was very smart and far-sighted, and he managed the Lin Dynasty to become more prosperous.
The high-yielding crop seeds mentioned by Luo Ning have been found, cultivated by Huangzhuang, and promoted step by step. When corn and potatoes are popular in every village, the people of Lin Dynasty will no longer have to starve.
After the discriminatory decrees against businessmen were cancelled, more and more people tried to do business. While making a fortune, it also provided a large number of employment opportunities. Everyone had money to eat at the end of the year.
The power of the aristocratic families has been weakened, providing more opportunities for the children of poorer families to get ahead, and the soldiers guarding the border have also been given special treatment.
Little by little changes gave Lin Dynasty a new look.
If a neighboring country invades, the Lin Dynasty's army will be invincible and will directly incorporate it into the plate and expand its territory.
While accompanying his lover and developing his career, half of the time flies by in a blink of an eye.
When Xiao Yi had a few shallow wrinkles at the end of his eyes, he adopted a child from one of the clan's children. After the test, he was established as the prince.
After so many years, the ministers have stopped struggling. During this time, they have never thought of sending beauties to His Majesty, but His Majesty is just not interested. They think that when the Queen gets old and loses his beauty, he will lose His Majesty's favor. What man doesn't love him? How can beauty be guarded by one person for a lifetime? Without heirs to maintain it, the queen's favor will not last long.
But who would have known that after twenty years, the Queen is still like a goblin, firmly occupying the title of the most beautiful man in the Lin Dynasty, and grabbing His Majesty's heart.
They all understood that no matter how majestic and threatening His Majesty was in the court, when facing the Queen, he was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, leaving them speechless.
They wanted His Majesty to fill the harem every year, but His Majesty just wouldn't listen. They thought to themselves that all the daughters of the right age in their family were married off, and there was no hope at all. Gradually, they found that they could not find a suitable candidate to seduce His Majesty.
The ministers finally gave up. It doesn't matter if His Majesty insists on hanging from a tree. As long as Your Majesty can give them a prince and someone to inherit this country, that is the most important thing.
Xiao Yi had no interest in children at all, and did not want his queen's attention to be distracted by others. After many years of sweet life, they felt that the time was almost up, so they finally established a little prince. As soon as the little brat appeared, he felt that children were indeed the most annoying.
He was as serious and cold to the little prince as the cold winter, while Luo Ning was as warm as the spring breeze.
Not long after entering the palace, the young prince quickly developed admiration and dependence on Luo Ning. He wanted to run to the Zichen Palace every day, hang around Luo Ning, and act cute and coquettishly in front of Luo Ning.
After watching Luo Ning share his favorite honeydew melon with this little brat, Xiao Yi couldn't bear it and threw the little prince out of the palace.
Luo Ning hooked his finger and said amusedly: "Why is Your Majesty so childish?"
This drama of competing for favor has been staged dozens of times, and he is still jealous of a child. He must be jealous.
Xiao Yi hugged Luo Ning's waist and kissed Luo Ning hard on the lips. He did not hide his possessiveness and complained: "The little kid is so annoying, without even a glance, always disturbing our closeness, I can't do anything to you when he is here."
Luo Ning nodded helplessly. Xiao Yi was still stingy at this age and needed to be coaxed.
The little prince outside also puffed up his face, determination flashed in his eyes, and secretly decided to grow up quickly, so that when the time comes, he can let his father take care of him in old age, and then snatch his father away.
It was only when Xiao Yi abdicated and the young prince finally came to power that he realized after finishing his work that his father had been abducted by his father.
After Jiangshan had an heir, Luo Ning and Xiao Yi did not stay in the imperial city to enjoy themselves. They got on a small boat and floated down the river, wanting to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of Lin Dynasty.
Along the way, he has seen the majesty and vastness of the desert, and also experienced the grace and gentleness of Jiangnan.
They lead a colorful life. Even though Xiao Yi is old, he is still a handsome old man. He can carry Luo Ning on his back and slowly enjoy the scenery along the way.
When they finally had enough time outside the palace, they returned to the palace. They were already ninety years old at this time. Luo Ning had a vague premonition and wanted to see his grown-up child again one last time.
Xiao Yi left first. Even if he recovered from his childhood illness, his physical condition was still worse than Luo Ning's.
He held Luo Ning's hand tightly and slowly closed his eyes. He didn't want to leave first. The one left behind would always be sad, but he no longer had the strength to comfort Luo Ning.
Luo Ning lay obediently next to Xiao Yi and looked at Xiao Yi with nostalgia. His lover was no longer there, so there was no point in him staying, and he lost his breath.
When the current emperor heard the news and came over, he looked at their figures clinging tightly together and were buried together in the imperial mausoleum.
Thousands of years later, the tombs of the emperors and empresses of the Lin Dynasty finally revealed a corner of history during the excavations of the archaeological team.
Of all the dynasties, the one that everyone is most interested in is undoubtedly the Lin Dynasty. Many TV series have been filmed with the theme of the emperors and queens of the Lin Dynasty.
"The Lin Dynasty was the most prosperous era in history, with highly developed politics and economy, the largest territory, and truly unified the world."
"According to those data, the Lin Dynasty cultivated rice with extremely high yields, had relatively complete medical methods, and also created a maritime trade route."
"Emperor Jingchen of the Lin Dynasty had no ambition at all at first, and was known as a tyrant. It is said that after marrying the queen, his whole body was like a chicken blood, and he finally became aware as an emperor."
"Emperor Jingchen was probably the first man to advocate monogamy, and he insisted on it throughout his life, even though his wife was a man."
"Queen Luo is known as the most beautiful man in the world. If it were me, I would be willing to hold him for the rest of my life."
"As for the scroll I found, many of the inks have faded, but you can still see how beautiful Queen Luo is."
"The tyrant Gong and the beauty Shou, my God, I like this pair so much."
"The historians at that time secretly recorded that Emperor Jingchen was actually a strict wife and a raking ear."
"The heart of stone turned into softness around the fingers. It's so sweet, so sweet, I admire it."
