To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 284 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

Autumn is here, and yellow leaves are flying in the imperial garden.

You Miao stood by the pond for a while, thinking about Zhao Chao's bad temper. In fact, saving the lives of Pingxi's family was not all for the sake of nostalgia, but if it was serious, it was also for Zhao Chao's own good.

After all, treason and rebellion are serious crimes, and what is involved is the return of the prince and the legacy of the death of the former emperor. All the ministers are afraid of Zhao Chao's liquidation, and they know that sooner or later, the liquidation will come to everyone. on the head.Once Zhao Chao pardoned the crime of being implicated in the Ping family at this moment, it would be like giving all civil and military officials a reassurance.

Everyone in the imperial court is no longer in danger. Only after this piece of land is conquered can Apocalypse be truly stabilized.

There were too many killings, and You Miao no longer wanted to see bloodshed and disputes.Facing Zhao Chao's insistence, his advice was only the first step, besides, he had other ways.

Qiao Rong was about to give birth and was recuperating in the deep palace. When You Miao came here, she felt very novel. After all, he had never been pregnant or given birth since he was a child.

Qiao Rong's expression was sweet, and this little life was about to be born.You Miao chatted a few gossips with her, and Qiao Rong said, "Did you quarrel with your third brother again today?"

You Miao smiled wryly, and asked, "Does Third Brother come here often these days?"

"Come here every day." Qiao Rong said, "I'm so happy, what do you want to say?"

You Miao thought for a while, and told about the Pingxi family's affairs once. Qiao Rong felt a little sad, and replied: "Mrs.

"I intend, after you give birth to your little nephew, the third brother will definitely pardon the world." You Miao said: "At that time, tell him..."

"Wrap me." Qiao Rong said.

"You know his temper..." You Miao said.

Qiao Rong smiled and said, "I know, I understand what not to say."

You Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but lament that there are people in the harem who are really good at handling things. No wonder the relatives of the dynasty are involved in politics.However, this method can't be used too much, the queen has too much control, no matter which emperor it is, it should be done in moderation.

He thought about it for a while, and decided not to tell Qiao Rong about his house arrest, so as not to worry her.If you really want to escape, there are many ways.

A few days later, Qiao Rong started to have a stomach ache in the afternoon. The whole palace was tense as if facing an enemy. Zhao Chao didn't care about dealing with government affairs. I don't care about anything.The king of a country, the prime minister, does not deal with state affairs, but waits outside the palace, his heart beating wildly.

You Miao's palms were sweating, and he drank tea with Zhao Chao outside the hall. Zhao Chao could see that You Miao was more nervous than him, so he couldn't help comforting him: "It's okay, it's okay."

When You Miao drank tea, the tea splashed all over her body, and she hummed absently. Zhao Chao stretched out her hand and pressed it on You Miao's hand. You Miao calmed down a little, looked at Zhao Chao, and smiled.

"The queen said last night." Zhao Chao said leisurely, "I want to accumulate some virtue for the unborn child."

The two monarchs and ministers looked at the clear blue sky and long white clouds outside the corridor together, Zhao Chao said again: "The empress wants to help the people, I say yes, no problem, after the child is born, the world will be amnesty, and then the Ping family and the Li family will also be together." and pardoned."

You Miao said: "Your Majesty is about to become a father, so you have to clean up your hostility."

Zhao Chao laughed, nodded and said: "Nowadays the court is full of civil and military affairs, only you dare to say that about me."

You Miao smiled embarrassedly, and in the silence, under the bright sunshine, Qiao Rong uttered a distressed cry in the hall, followed by the cry of pain, and the baby's loud cry came alive.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations to Uncle Guo—!" The midwife shouted happily, "It's a prince!"

You Miao laughed, and a big stone fell from her heart. Zhao Chao got up and was about to rush into the delivery room. You Miao hurriedly grabbed Zhao Chao and said, "You can't go in now!"

"Oh—congratulations, Your Majesty!" The midwife shouted, but she couldn't hear clearly, only the maids were shouting in a mess.

"It's twins! Twins!" A court lady ran out and stumbled on the threshold. Zhao Chao hurriedly supported her, and she said excitedly, "Twins! And a little princess!"

You Miao and Zhao Chao looked at each other, almost going crazy with joy, and another guard rushed in from outside, shouting: "Your Majesty, the frontline military newspaper——! General Li's victory! Da'an City has been captured!"

"General Tu Risheng defeated the Tatars at the foot of White Wolf Mountain, General Li won six battles and occupied Da'an, and the Tatars escaped from the Great Wall—"

After ten years of humiliation, finally with the joint efforts of everyone, half of the broken country was recovered.

You Miao leaned against the wall, the sun was shining brightly in front of her eyes, and people were shouting all around, and he couldn't hear what they said clearly.

On the fifth day of October, the queen gave birth to dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the emperor pardoned the world.

At the same time, good news came from the north, Li Zhifeng defeated the Tatar army, and the Hu people finally withdrew from outside the Great Wall.

This victory pushed Li Zhifeng to the position of God of War in Apocalypse, and the whole country celebrated in Apocalypse.Zhao Chao personally went up to the altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens, wishing the coming year will be blessed with good weather and peace for the country and the people.Under the blessing of the ancestors of the Apocalypse, the Han people finally had their shame.

The front-line military newspaper flew like snowflakes, flooding the entire palace in an instant, and the apocalypse seemed to be reborn.The news of Zhao Chao's heir spread to the front line, and the army was thunderous.

However, everything is far from over.

A letter from Li Zhifeng's family arrived, and You Miao knew that now was the most critical moment.This day finally came, and it was him who was the turning point of Li Zhifeng's life.

The first letter from home was to tell You Miao that now is a great time to march north.The ensuing memorial is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.Shocked the entire court.

"You must not send any more troops!" Xie Hui persuaded: "It took so much effort to capture Da'an. Our army has less than [-] troops left. If we move northward and go out of the Great Wall, if the Hu people attack again, General Tu Risheng will not be able to protect Da'an. !"

You Miao said: "The Quanrong people wandered around the frontier and bordered on Koryo. If they don't calm down with the power of victory as soon as possible, sooner or later it will lead to a big disaster!"

"It's winter." Lin Luoyang said: "Master Shenzhi, what are you thinking? Our army is not suitable for fighting in winter. Heavy snow will wear down all cavalry, and the Dog Rong tribe is famous for guerrilla warfare."

"Being far away and close at hand, I just drove away the Tatars and the Wuhu. For the rest of the tribes, we must be soft and appeaseable. How can we send troops again?" Tang Bo said bluntly.

"It's time for the soldiers in Yangzhou to go home. The price we paid for this Northern Expedition is too high. People have lost their minds and can't continue fighting."

Li Zhifeng's memorial was unanimously opposed by the entire court. The ministers looked unacceptable, and they almost said You Miao's selfish words. However, You Miao has another identity besides participating in political affairs-the uncle of the country.His cousin had just given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for Zhao Chao, and the boy was still crowned as the crown prince. Now everyone speaks cautiously, not daring to reprimand You Miao anymore, for fear of being retaliated against in the future.

Even so, the idea of ​​a further northern expedition still met with strong resistance from everyone.

But You Miao is not afraid of anyone anymore, now he has an absolutely stable position in the court, and no one can shake him.As long as Zhao Chao nodded, You Miao could forcibly suppress all these opposing voices, and push Li Zhifeng's troops to rush to the Kanto.

Zhao Chao sat on the highest position, silently responded, You Miao turned around, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am only one step away from protecting my territory of the Apocalypse for thousands of years, Your Majesty please decide."

After a brief silence, Zhao Chao opened his mouth.

"Recall Li Zhifeng and order Tu Risheng to stay in Da'an and withdraw troops."

You Miao immediately stayed where she was, and the courtiers nodded one after another, all with expressions of "knowing about this", Zhao Chao was about to leave, but You Miao said: "Your Majesty!"

"I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more."

Zhao Chao left, and the ministers also dispersed, leaving You Miao standing alone in the hall, his figure was dragged long by the setting sun and reflected on the window pane.
