My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2004
Lao Zhou glanced at the body of the soldier who was placed on the ground by Liu Mingzhi, his eyes were a little helpless.

"My son-in-law, we don't know where those people came from, although you have lost [-] brave men, but those who are all high-ranking people didn't get any advantage in the army.

After leaving more than a dozen corpses, they returned home.

We will definitely give an explanation to the son-in-law, and now we only hope that you can accept the order.

If the son-in-law and his majesty turn against each other just now, wouldn't it be just a trick of the enemy to make your majesty separate from the son-in-law, so as to achieve his ulterior purpose!

If the son-in-law is not relentless about this, it will just make the insidious person who hides in the dark proud.

Prince Consort, think twice. "

Liu Mingzhi looked at Lao Zhou's helpless expression, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Could it be that these people really have nothing to do with Li Ye? Some people are deliberately alienating their relationship with Li Ye, so that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers gradually becomes irreconcilable.

"Old Zhou, this king will temporarily give you this face and will not pursue this matter, but this king will still not change his insistence.

If the world is not unified for a day, this king will definitely not return to Beijing to report on his duties. "

Lao Zhou's rickety body trembled slightly, looking up at Liu Mingzhi with a hard expression, he was a little at a loss.

I thought the son-in-law had already taken a step back under his persuasion, but now it seems that the son-in-law is still the original son-in-law, and his determination not to return to Beijing to report on his duties has not wavered in the slightest.

Lao Zhou's eyes were a little tangled, he sighed silently, his eyes struggled for a moment.

"My son-in-law, let me persuade you with someone else."

Liu Mingzhi frowned, subconsciously nodded and looked at Lao Zhou with a sad expression.

Even Lao Zhou, an old friend who has a deep friendship, can't convince himself. Is there anyone more suitable and convincing than Lao Zhou?
Under Liu Mingzhi's puzzled gaze, Lao Zhou turned his head to look at the 50 people behind him, and waved gently.

The sound of rolling carriages came from the Fengyun Ferry where the cold wind was blowing, coming from south to north, and gradually became clearer.

When the appearance of the carriage came into view completely, Liu Mingzhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously looked at Lao Zhou with a tangled expression.

Although he only took a look at this carriage, Liu Mingzhi recognized at a glance that this carriage was the one that Chen Jie rode from the restaurant next to the post station in Xinzhou City.

Sure enough, the carriage stopped slowly, and Gao Jin, the personal servant of the Empress Dowager Chen Jie, jumped off the carriage tremblingly under the watchful eye of two inner guards.

Following the removal of the wooden bench, Chen Jie, who was wearing a bamboo hat, got out of the carriage with the help of a maid.

Seeing Chen Jie's figure appearing a dozen steps away, the unnatural look in Liu Mingzhi's eyes flashed away, and he withdrew his sneak peek at Chen Jie from the corner of his eye.

"My son-in-law, this lobbyist is much more honorable than us. If my son-in-law doesn't give us face, we must give her some face!"

Liu Mingzhi controlled his mind to remain calm: "Old Zhou, I don't know who is here? It's even more noble than you, an old senior."

Lao Zhou shook his head with a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at the calm and composed Liu Mingzhi with a hint of sadness in his eyes, his mouth was tightly closed, but the words condensed by internal force sound transmission clearly lingered in Liu Mingzhi's ears.

"My son-in-law, we don't speak dark words among the wise.

Some things we don't mention clearly are for the good of the son-in-law, but also for the good of people with noble status.

Prince Consort, although the Empress Dowager is a widow and not a married woman, her status as a nobleman predestined that she cannot remarry under the government's record like ordinary women in the folk.

His Majesty has inadvertently found out about the private affair between the son-in-law and the nobleman.

I still haven't completely turned against the son-in-law, but entered the imperial mausoleum alone. Please come and act as a lobbyist, hoping that the son-in-law can return to Beijing to report on his duties.

The son-in-law, humiliating his wife and mother is probably unbearable in anyone's heart, but His Majesty still has not completely turned against the son-in-law.

So, does His Majesty not value the Prince Consort enough?
It doesn't matter if we can't persuade the son-in-law, if even the nobleman comes forward, the son-in-law still insists on refusing, we really don't know what else to say. "

Looking at Lao Zhou's painful face, Liu Mingzhi looked at Chen Jie who was a dozen steps away with a slightly stiff expression.

The cold wind hit, lifted the veil under Chen Jie's hat, revealing Chen Jie's helpless eyes staring at her with anger and resentment.

Although it was only for a short moment, Liu Mingzhi felt too much meaning from Chen Jie's gaze.

I advised you, why do you have to be so stubborn?

The fact that Chen Jie can appear here means that Li Ye has already learned of her whereabouts.

In this way, the unexplainable affair between him and Chen Jie was no longer a secret to Li Ye.

There were two incidents of fornication, one was because Chen Jie or Nangong Meng drugged themselves in the wine, and an act of lingering love occurred unconsciously.

One time, because he and Li Ye were angry because of power matters, and because they were drunk and distracted, they forcibly violated the beautiful woman, and they had a loving trip with her.

Although the two times were not what I and Chen Jie intended, but what's the use of talking about it now?
The matter is already a foregone conclusion, and it is too late to say anything.

It was an indelible fact that he and Chen Jie had a husband and wife affair.

"My son-in-law, for the sake of the nobleman's presence, accept the order.

As long as you return to Beijing to report on your work, everything will be the same as before.

Your Majesty has said that the late Emperor has been on the road for many years, and the Empress Dowager is in her early thirties, living alone in the deep palace and high walls for a long time is really lonely.

As long as the son-in-law returns to Beijing, out of respect for the empress dowager and respect for you, the son-in-law, he can forget about this matter.

But this matter must not be spread, it will ruin the reputation of the first emperor and the face of the royal family.

Your Majesty has always kept in mind the kindness that the son-in-law had shown him in the past, and never dared to forget it easily.

My son-in-law, don't make mistakes and make mistakes again and again. "

Seeing Lao Zhou's pleading expression, Liu Mingzhi's lips trembled slightly: "My lord, can I have a private talk with you?"

Lao Zhou was stunned and hesitated.

Looking at Liu Mingzhi with a sense of loss, with a slightly pleading look, he finally nodded silently.

"Of course, I hope the son-in-law can turn around under the nobleman's advice, please!"

"Old Zhou, thank you very much!"

"As far as our duties are concerned, as long as the son-in-law and His Majesty are safe and sound, the harmony between the monarch and his subjects can still be maintained, and the good story of the two generations of former emperors can continue, then we have completed our task and can go back to continue guarding the tomb."

Liu Mingzhi sighed silently, and walked towards the carriage not far away with difficulty.

The two Ouchi guards didn't stop them, and retreated a few steps away, but they kept staring at this side intently.

"My lord, save the savior and follow our little life."

Liu Mingzhi looked at Gao Jin's sad face, raised his hand and patted Gao Jin's shoulder, and got into the carriage.

Chen Jie glanced at Lao Zhou not far away through the veil, seemed to understand something, and walked towards the carriage with the hem of her cloak.

As soon as she entered the carriage, Chen Jie saw Liu Mingzhi sitting in the carriage looking at herself with a somewhat lonely expression.

"Jie'er, I didn't expect things to come to this extent."

Liu Mingzhi's guilty words made Chen Jie sit down softly, raised her hand and grabbed Liu Mingzhi's collar and shook it.

"Why don't you listen to my advice? Why don't you listen to my advice?
Now that our matter has been known to the emperor, what face do you give me to meet him again!

I have been persuading you, why are you stubborn again and again?
Tell me, why did it become like this?

You tell me. "

Chen Jie acted a little crazy and dropped the bamboo hat on her head into the carriage, revealing her tearful, flustered and helpless face.

Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to hold Chen Jie's wrists, pulled her into his arms and imprisoned her.

"If you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans. Is this all my fault?"

Chen Jie's delicate body trembled when she heard the words, and she fell on Liu Mingzhi's shoulder feebly and cried bitterly.

"I was so scared and didn't dare to think about what was going to happen next.

Senior Zhou told me on the way that the only turning point now is that you return to Beijing to report on your work, so stop being stubborn and return to Beijing to report on your work, okay?
If you continue to be obsessed with obsession, you will die, do you know that?
The emperor has given you many opportunities, why can't you understand his difficulties?

He is the king of a country.

You were so tolerant and humble to him before we didn't have any love affairs, why can't you take a step back now? "

Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted Chen Jie's back. Hearing Chen Jie's crying in his ear, he felt a little confused.

"I retreated again and again, isn't that enough?

What did I get in the end?
I've made it very clear, it's not that I won't return to Beijing to report on my work, as long as the world is unified, I will take the initiative to invite Ying to return to Beijing to report on my work.

I have returned so many times, why can't he return it once.

In view of how much I helped him in the past, is it difficult for him to take a step back for me?

The more aggressive he is, the more uncertain I feel.

He is becoming more and more like an emperor, he has become I don't know him anymore.

Chen Jie, it's only because I don't want to take another step back.

Instead, I have no way to retreat. "

"He is the emperor, the king of a country! Isn't that enough?"

"In the situation back then, if I supported King Zhao and Li Tao to ascend the throne, would it be difficult?"

Chen Jie trembled suddenly, and lifted her Zhenshou from Liu Mingzhi's shoulder, her phoenix eyes stared helplessly at Liu Mingzhi's somewhat dull eyes.

"You came to me to say this? Do you know what the consequences of your decision will be?"

Liu Mingzhi nodded silently.

"After all the unpredictable past events happened, it was already expected that there would be today.

If I don't accept the decree, I'm afraid Fengyundu will not be able to pass today.

But even if he is buried here today, Liu Mingzhi still has the same words as he said today.

I would rather die than retreat! "
