Chang'an City had just experienced a rare snowstorm, and the eaves and arches of Weiyang Palace were covered with a thick layer of white ice. The palace attendants were busy sweeping the snow from all over the palace, and the courtiers were waiting for the court meeting in the cold wind.

"Your Majesty occasionally feels the wind and cold, and today's court meeting will be canceled. Please return to the government office. ”

Qiandu stood at the door of the propaganda room and announced the edict loudly.

A buzzing sound like a fly sounded, and the courtiers speculated on the mystery behind the emperor's illness. When they wanted to go to Qiandu to inquire, they found that Qiandu had quietly disappeared at the door of the Xuan room.

Liu Qi is really sick, and his body is very tired from the hard work of the past few days. Yesterday, I drank some acacia wine, and I was fortunate to have two Jiangnan people from the princess of Guantao. said that it was an occasional cold, but in fact it was tired.

"Your Majesty, the officials have dispersed. Prime Minister Zhou and Wei Qihou came to greet him. ”

In the Chengming Palace, Qiandu bowed and reported to Liu Qiyu.

"Summons Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying in." Liu Qisha commanded in a hoarse voice.

"The ministers heard that His Majesty and the prince pushed the ministers and the Marquis of Wei, and asked Sheng'an."

Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying stood not far from Candle Mountain, bowing down to greet Liu Qishi.

A prime minister who has no real power, and a Taifu who has been dismissed, still has so much energy. was pushed out by the courtiers to greet him, and it seemed that it was really a hundred-legged insect that died but did not stiffen.

"Excuse me, sit down."

Liu Qi's hoarse voice sounded from the bed with a gauze curtain.

"I always feel that something is wrong, I haven't received an emergency report for many days along the Yulin Shenmu in the east. But this Lingwu has an urgent document every day. You are all men who have herded soldiers and spared horses. Tell me, should you send some people to support Lingwu? Guang asked the captain of the Tun Cavalry to take 3,000 people, and I was afraid that Lingwu would make a mistake. ”

Liu Qi expressed the worries in his heart, and the Great Wall defense line was like a long snake. As long as one point is breached, it will be the end of the rout of the whole front. Anyone who didn't understand military affairs understood this, but the two people who had been great generals to quell the Seven Kings Rebellion did not agree to send reinforcements. This aroused Liu Qi's vigilance.

"Your Majesty, look at the Huns this time. What has been fighting with the Han army is actually the control of the Hetao, and the method of Liancheng seems to have been seen through by the Huns, who know that as long as the Hetao is encircled with the Great Wall, no matter how great the mobility advantage of the Hun cavalry is. You can only be trapped inside.

And the place where we first built the Great Wall was on the Eastern Front. The Huns were cavalry, and the Han army was infantry. In terms of mobility, our Han army was far from being the opponent of the Huns, and the distance of the Huns' march on the inner line was much lower than ours. We will send a large army to the western front, and if the Huns are to return to the eastern front. Then our army will have to work hard and be exhausted, and this will deal a great blow to the morale of the army.

His Majesty thought that the Lingwu Pass was majestic. There are also a hundred battles of the Marquis of Lintong to garrison. Just send 3,000 troops to go. ”

Zhou Yafu, who has always been not good at talking, is reasonable. A thousand words turn into one sentence. It was enough to send 3,000 troops about the size of the peasants.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Dou Ying adheres to his consistent style, observing more and talking less. It's just that the thick gauze curtain is blocked there, and you can't observe it even if you want to.

"In that case, let's watch it for two more days. What are the things in the court that you have to worry about these days? The military newspaper on the front line did not have to go through the Taiwei Mansion and was directly sent to the Chengming Palace. I'm going to see it for myself. ”

"The military reports are complicated, and His Majesty is afraid that he will be sick and uncomfortable......

"Okay, the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty are mine. If I don't bother with this, who will? Is it you Zhou Yafu or Dou Ying? ”

Liu Qi's tone was already quite unpolite, which made Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying frightened for a while. It's okay to dare to the emperor's heart, and there is only one crime that dares to have this thought, rebellion. This is a crime for the whole family to die, and a few heads dare not carry it.

"The ministers are frightened, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins."

The two brothers were very knowledgeable and did not insist on a very deferential plea.

"Forget it, go down. Doing your errands well is considered to be loyal to the country and me. ”

"No"

Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying glanced at each other and retreated backwards.

Liu Qi leaned on the bed, his eyes flickering in the light of the candlelight. Yun Xiao's urgent letters a day made him anxious, but after listening to Zhou Yafu's words, it seemed to make sense. I don't have much military experience, but the two of them have led soldiers anyway, so they won't take the well-being of thousands of people in the country to fight for the party.

"Father, are you feeling better?"

The gauze curtain was raised, and a slender figure walked into Liu Qi's bed.

"Oh, it's Nangong. What are you doing here? ”

"My father is sick, and as a daughter, I should naturally accompany me to taste medicine and food, don't my father want to see Nangong, and I can't go to Nangong."

Nangong sat on the edge of Liu Qi's bed, took Liu Qi's arm and performed the invincible coquettish Dafa.

"How could my father be unwilling, my Nangong has grown up and is sensible. Good, good. If the princesses had your heart, I wouldn't have hurt you in vain. ”

"Father, the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor is fried for you, you can drink it while it's hot."

Nangong took the decoction handed by the maid, tasted it and handed it to Liu Qi.

"Hey, I wanted to find you a home. I didn't expect it to be like that, the rules in the palace are big. When my father is well from his illness, I will find you a good horse. ”

Liu Qi caressed Nangong's soft black hair lovingly, looking satisfied with his father.

"My daughter is not in a hurry to get married, and she still wants to serve her father for a few more years. The doctor said that after drinking this medicine, you will sweat. My daughter covers you with some so that you don't catch a cold again. If you sweat all over your body today, you will be cured tomorrow. ”

Nangong diligently tucked the quilt corner for Liu Qi, and helped take out the sundries on Liu Qi's bed.

A one-foot-square lacquerware box was taken out by Nangong and turned around and put it on the imperial book case.

Liu Qi's eyes moved with the lacquer box held by Nangong. The corners of his mouth twitched helplessly, and as soon as he turned over, he lay down face in.

The imperial doctor's medicine was very effective, and after a while, Liu Qi let out a slight snoring sound. Nangong saw that Liu Qi was asleep, so he waved his hand and called a thousand degrees.

"Majesty, I'm asleep. Don't have so many people waiting here, lest you make a noise and disturb your majesty's rest. Let irrelevant people wait outside, and I will serve here. ”

"This ......"

Qiandu looked at Nangong with some embarrassment.

"I am His Majesty's biological daughter, will I still harm my father and the emperor, so I should retreat quickly."

Nangong is one of the well-known princesses in the palace who is favored by Liu Qi, and her initiation is really a little scared of the inner servants. Qiandu glanced at Liu Qi on the couch and waved his hand, and then led the palace attendants to retreat.

As soon as the palace people and the chamberlain pushed out of the inner room, Nangong rushed to the imperial book case like a little fox. glanced at Liu Qi on the couch and gently opened the lacquerware box.

Inside the box was a large piece of red silk cloth, and a row of keys hung neatly on the pearls on the silk cloth.

Nangong hesitated a little, picked up a key and looked at it, and then picked up another one. I didn't know which key was the key to open the cabinet in the corner, so I picked up the lacquer box and ran to the bottom of the cabinet to try it one by one.

Liu Qi, who was lying on the bed, pouted, just find the biggest key for such a big lock, what a stupid girl. It seems that there is still no experience in stealing. waved his hand to stop Qiandu behind the pillar, and Liu Qi, who was lying on the bed, continued to watch the play.

The sound of the circlip sounded, and it seemed that the girl had finally found the key.

Nangong saw that he opened the lock and cheered in a low voice. She was as happy as a rabbit that had just eaten a carrot, but when she opened the cabinet door, she was immediately dumbfounded.

There are always all kinds of tiger talismans hanging in front of me, and which one of these tiger talismans is the tiger talisman that mobilizes the feather forest. Uncle and mother didn't tell themselves, Nangong was sweating in a hurry. Under the candlelight, there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Liu Qi wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he couldn't laugh. The girl is outgoing, and she actually steals her father's tiger talisman for her lover. The daughter is too old to stay, it seems that the Queen Mother's words still make sense.

The Tiger Talisman is not a key, it can be paired one by one. Only half of the piece hangs here in Liu Qi, and the other half is in the hands of the generals who lead the army. Nangong began to look at these tiger talismans one by one, hoping to find some clues.

The Tiger Talisman was already commonly used in the Warring States Period, and one of the most famous allusions in the war between Qin and Zhao was to steal the talisman to save Zhao. The generals with the troops can only mobilize the troops under their command after receiving the tiger charm. Otherwise, it is considered a forbidden transfer of troops, and when it comes to military law, it will be a loss of head. Moreover, the Yulin guards were the emperor's own army, and they couldn't move the five thousand Yulin under him without seeing the Tiger Fu Weiwan.

Of course, Wei Juan would not be willing to lose his head because of saving Yunxiao, so the Han version of stealing talismans to save Yunxiao was staged. However, Wang Wan and Tian Wei ignored one problem at the same time, that is, there was more than one tiger talisman. There were many tiger talismans in the emperor's hands, so much so that he even specially built a nanmu cabinet to hold them.

Poor Nangong couldn't figure out which tiger talisman was used to mobilize the feather forest.

Nangong jumped up in a hurry, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose. Liu Qi couldn't bear it, and wanted to get out of bed several times to help her find it.

Finally, when he was checking a tiger talisman, Nangong found a feather character on the top of the tiger talisman. Nangong Daxi, according to his uncle's words. The other half of the tiger talisman is in Wei Juan's hands, and there must be a forest on that half. This must be the Tiger Talisman that mobilizes the Feather Forest.

Nangong was overjoyed, and looked back at his father lying on the couch timidly. Liu Qi hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, for fear that Nangong would find out something, which would scare this girl to death.

After picking up the tiger talisman, re-locking the cabinet and placing the lacquer box in its original position. Nangong couldn't wait to walk out, Qiandu turned out from behind the pillar, looked at Liu Qi on the couch, his eyes were uncertain, and he didn't dare to speak. (To be continued......)
