Zhuang Mingyue's breath sighed to the court.

She didn't expect that yesterday's group of ministers would be fighting on the frontier as soon as they came up.

"Your Majesty! You can make a decision as soon as possible, and send the team who is seeking peace as soon as possible, so as not to hurt even more! "Yesterday, the ministers led by the group of people begged the emperor in a bitter voice.

The emperor's face was a little gloomy, he was indeed still hesitating, and now, his courtiers were in a position to force him to make a decision. It's not too unpleasant to have this kind of thing happen early in the morning.

Zhuang Mingyue saw that the emperor's face was displeased, and decided not to speak for now, and waited to see.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Minister...... Seconded! ”

……

The ministers were listed one by one, as they had been yesterday, and knelt on the ground and prayed to the emperor.

Zhuang Mingyue was very uninterested in such a battle, and when their people were almost kneeling, the emperor's face was so black that she was almost angry, and she slowly stood up.

"The minister thinks that it is absolutely inappropriate to seek peace at this moment, and I hope the emperor will think about it more." Zhuang Mingyue understood that the emperor didn't want to make a decision and wanted to lean on her side. After all, if the emperor is willing to take peace as the most important thing and go to seek peace, he should have made a decision yesterday, and he will not hesitate again and again when most of the courtiers are asking for peace, and finally give an uncertain result.

From this glance, we can see that the emperor only chose to hesitate because of the pressure of the minister.

As for the minister's side, it looked like it was discussed overnight last night.

The faces of the first few kneeling down were a little haggard, as if they hadn't slept enough.

But when it comes to making peace, it's a bit spiritual.

Zhuang Mingyue felt angry and funny.

This group of old ministers is really worried about the country and the people, and I am afraid that they have never made the right decisions a few times in their lives.

"What Zhuang Aiqing said is that this matter is about the frontier affairs, and I should really think about it." The emperor took the ladder given by Zhuang Mingyue, and agreed without thinking about it, and the faces of the old ministers who knelt down to beg for mercy became ugly.

It is not difficult for the people in the main hall to see which side the emperor is leaning towards.

Then went down to the court, Zhuang Mingyue was just like yesterday, swaggering and leaving alone, she has a good temperament, but it doesn't mean that she can let herself go along with others.

When she was in modern times, she didn't read much military books, so she naturally knew that she knew herself and her opponent, and won all battles. If she was a person from the Rongli country, she only attacked once, and the other party rushed to sue for peace, didn't this give her a chance to attack again?

When Zhuang Mingyue returned home, it happened to be the hottest day. She was sweating profusely from the heat all the way. I've been busy with things in the court for the past two days, and I even forgot about my own cold drink shop.

In addition to the last time because of the tongue war, after winning the first battle, many shops came to ask her to buy patents, and she only traded one in person, which was Fengxian Restaurant. The rest was all taken over by the little guy she brought. The rules are still the same as the rules of the shop, just go back to her to check and check the accounts after you have done so.

The little guy is also angry, and in just a few days, the ledger has been piled up in two piles.

Zhuang Mingyue secretly sighed that she had to go to court during the day, and she had to go to the store to have a look at it in the afternoon when she was free, and she had to look at the account books again at night.

At night, Zhuang Mingyue lay on the bed, and before she was about to fall asleep, she looked at the two piles of account books, and said to herself with a sad face: I will simply go to the court tomorrow when I am sick!

It turns out that Zhuang Mingyue was right.

In the early morning of the next day, the palanquin in the palace came, and Zhuang Mingyue asked the female dependents of the family to go to the little eunuch and said that she was sick and it was inconvenient to go to court. He also asked the ladies to give each other some silver.

Zhuang Mingyue rarely slept lazily, and was just about to fall asleep, when the female dependent came back and reported: "My father-in-law accepted it, saying that he knew it, and he would say a few kind words for you." ”

“…… Got it. Zhuang Mingyue struggled from her dream for a moment, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already three poles of the sun.

Zhuang Mingyue got up and ate and drank nonsense.

After a good night's sleep and a full meal, it was much more comfortable.

When Zhuang Mingyue felt that the anger she had suffered in the past two days had almost dissipated, the little maid in her store hurriedly rushed in and hurried to see her.

She frowned, and her eyelids couldn't help jumping when she saw the little girl's hurried figure.

"What's wrong......" Zhuang Mingyue asked hesitantly.

"Shopkeeper, I just ...... I just heard on the street that the imperial court has sent a team to sue for peace, and it is heading to the frontier...... "The little guy was out of breath, but he still said it completely."

Zhuang Mingyue had to praise this little guy for his vision. Her shop is also all kept clean by him, just in order. And the movements in the court, he actually helped her patronize.

Zhuang Mingyue didn't think deeply about it, in fact, if she was not there, the emperor would have to make a decision. It's just speeding up.

Zhuang Mingyue believes that the top priority is to increase the salary of this little guy, reward!

"Well done. The affairs of the store are also entrusted to you, and you can also help me keep an eye on the affairs of the palace. Zhuang Mingyue looked at him with a smile.

The little guy slapped his sleeves, bowed his head and said, "This is as it should be, you are polite." ”

"If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't know." The smile in Zhuang Mingyue's eyes deepened, "In this way, you will increase by five taels of silver a month, do you have a wife?" ”

"Yes, a wife and a son." The little guy replied obediently.

"Okay, then I'll give you some gold and silverware, as well as children's toy clothes, and a gold ingot!" Zhuang Mingyue knew that this kind of reward was a lot, and it was common in the palace, but outside the palace, this was an extra favor.

"Thank you...... Thank you, shopkeeper. The little guy laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Zhuang Mingyue sent him away again and told him to continue to keep an eye on him.

After Zhuang Mingyue waited for him to leave, he fell into deep thought.

Now that it's all like this, tomorrow's morning, will she go again? You can take two days off in a row, which is probably not good. In addition, she didn't look for Lang Zhong with much fanfare, but she was afraid that she would be gossiped about again.

Zhuang Mingyue had to sigh again.

She hesitated until the night, holding the ledger for most of the day and not knowing what she had seen.

Finally she thought about it, no matter what, she still had to go tomorrow. If she doesn't go, I'm afraid her identity will have to be cut off by that group of stubborn ministers.

Zhuang Mingyue went to the court without hesitation the next day, but she didn't expect that she got out of the carriage and walked to the palace, when she was stopped by two ministers.

One of the ministers of "Zhuang ......" called out her surname, but she didn't know what to call next, because the emperor only allowed her to go to the court, and did not give her identity clearly.

But the position is standing far ahead, and it doesn't look like it's right to call it.

When Zhuang Mingyue heard her surname, it was not difficult to think that she should be calling her. She stopped, waiting for the rest of the words to be said.

And yet that

Bian didn't know what to call it, and the scene seemed to freeze.

Zhuang Mingyue didn't want to stand so embarrassed, so she slowly turned her head, and after seeing the person who came, she said, "Hey? Isn't this Li Shangshu? She said hello first and resolved such an awkward situation.

"Ha, I heard that you didn't go to court yesterday when you were unwell, but today you are feeling better?" Li Shangshu was the second person who followed the minister to stand up against Zhuang Mingyue the first two times, Zhuang Mingyue beside him felt familiar, but he was not an important role, and he just nodded.

"Ahem...... I had a chill the night before, but I recuperated for a day yesterday, and it was really better. Zhuang Mingyue coughed and smiled reluctantly, "I thought I would take a leave today, but after thinking about it, I still have to come." ”

"What? Can't you get a good rest when you're sick? Li Shangshu was very concerned about it, but it was better to say that there was a hint of ridicule in his words.

Zhuang Mingyue knew that when she met someone who couldn't speak on weekdays, she called her now, not to say anything good. **Not far from ten is about yesterday's summation team.

"It's no big deal." Zhuang Mingyue smiled, she thought, anyway, she was going to be shown off, so it was better to mention it first, "I didn't come yesterday, but what do you decide?" ”

"Your Majesty has decided to sue for peace with Rong Liguo, the team is already on the way, no accident, it will arrive the day after tomorrow." The pride and contempt between Li Shangshu's eyebrows were all taken into Zhuang Mingyue's eyes.

Zhuang Mingyue said thoughtfully: "Oh, that's it." ”

Li Shangshu still wanted to wait to see her reaction, but he didn't expect it to be so bland, and he didn't know how to continue the conversation for a while.

The three of them had no choice but to walk to the court in silence.

The team to sue for peace has already arrived, and there is nothing important in the country, and the main hall, which was noisy a few days ago, is now much quieter.

Zhuang Mingyue listened to the minister's report on those innocuous things, and she wanted to doze off a little. But her position is too high, and no one in ancient and modern times is bold enough to doze off in front of the emperor.

Zhuang Mingyue still closed her eyes.

He only pretended to listen, and after a short rest, he heard a report coming from outside the hall.

"Newspaper"

This time it's powerful.

"The frontier is in a hurry! The six cities were captured and urgent"

It was just a few words, but the content contained it was like thunder that slashed into the ears of everyone present.

Zhuang Mingyue lowered her head and didn't look at anyone.

You don't need to look at it, these people's faces must be miserable and pale.

"Express!" The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy at the moment.

Before the peacemaking team had made it halfway out, six cities on the frontier had already been captured. Those who advocate the value of peace are now silent, and their faces are as ugly as the loss of their parents.

The Emperor sneered and sat quietly waiting.

When the person who sent the report approached the main hall, he also felt the very oppressive air. The people around him didn't dare to move, and they could hear a needle on the ground clearly.

The person who submitted the report couldn't stand it, so he quickened his pace, presented the message, and briefly described the urgency of the war on the frontier.

The emperor finally spoke: "This is what you say, peace is precious, and the demeanor of a great country is displayed?!" ”

No one in the DPRK dared to respond.

Zhuang Mingyue shook her head secretly, I'm afraid this is a big joke. I'm afraid that the team that sued for peace is also going to be recalled.
