Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 1136
The train went directly from Jinling to Chang'an, and it took nearly [-] hours. Fortunately, Yuhuatian applied for a soft sleeper ticket.

Ji Ruoshui was not in a hurry.

Twenty hours is really nothing.

Putting it in Middle-earth, flying with the sword for a few days and nights at every turn, or flying for several months in a flying chariot.

Those don't have any ride experience at all, but Hantu's traffic, the ride experience is very good.

The scenery along the way is very good.

From the urban area to the suburbs, to the towns, to the villages, to the mountains... Ji Ruoshui has been sitting in front of the window, watching very seriously.

Chang'an Chang'an.

What will Chang'an look like?

……

……

The night passed.

The winter nights in Han soil are very long.

And this night seemed to be no different from the past.

but!
It was that night that Chang'an court trembled.

An imperial decree was sent back from the Middle-earth world tens of thousands of miles away, and it was conveyed to the chief ministers of the various departments in Chang'an through the Weiyang Palace Supervisor.

The content is only one sentence:

"The empress will return to Weiyang Palace in three days. All the ministries in Chang'an must be ready to welcome her!"

The name of His Majesty, who was appointed, is the national seal and red seal that symbolizes the supreme power of the empire. It was announced by the supervisor of rites, and it was issued not only to the various departments in Chang'an, but also to all the state-level and two prefectures in the entire empire!

The news was sudden, but even more sensational!

The queen returns!

The empress... is she really coming back?
Chang'an, the national capital, and the two local governments reacted differently, and it could even be said to be diametrically opposite!

When the local government and government received the news, they were all pleasantly surprised and excited, and then spread the news to the people as soon as possible, which aroused the excitement and joy of all the people!
Twelve years have passed.

The people of the big man thought that the emperor would never come back again.

Although it has been a long time, many people have begun to forget it, but every time someone mentions it, it will cause countless people's sorrow and regret.

Now, the return of the empress is just three days later.

What a blessing news this is!

however.

The ministers of the Chang'an court had another reaction.

That night, too many Chang'an courtiers lost sleep and were at a loss.

After the emperor... the emperor and empress return, what will happen to the concubine Xiangfei?

The most important thing is that this is His Majesty's personal order, which is an obvious and absolute support for the Empress. Does this mean that the balance formed in Chang'an in the past 11 years will be completely broken?
Absolutely!
Especially at this special time!

Why special?
Not long ago, half of the imperial court jointly signed a letter to His Majesty, requesting His Majesty to establish a new empress. The empire has not had an empress for 11 years, and there must be no absence.

They highly respected the concubine Xiangfei, and they also hoped that the eldest prince would be crowned prince smoothly!

They are all waiting for His Majesty's statement.

And now.

This is undoubtedly His Majesty's statement!
It is impossible for the Concubine Xiang to become the empress, and those co-signed veterans, as long as one counts as one, who knows what fate they will face next!
……

East Palace.

Li Buhui turned pale.

There are quite a few people standing by His Highness, there are six or seven of them, all of whom are veterans of the court, with high positions and authority, and the lowest is a first-rank official!

Li Shi stood in front.

Now, because of his clan status as the national pillar of the Li family, he has already become the spokesperson of the Li family on the surface, and he is also the official secretary of the cabinet and a high-ranking official, so he has a very high status in the Chang'an government and the public!
But at this time, Li Shi's face was ugly, and amidst the panic, there was a wave of madness and ruthlessness.

"Your majesty, this time your majesty is clearly targeting your empress! It's just that the empress has returned, but your majesty actually issued an order in person, and telexed it to all the ministries of the Chang'an court and the two prefectures. This... this!!" Li Shi said angrily .

In the rear, several veteran officials did not dare to speak.

Because His Majesty is involved.

But they actually appeared in the East Palace, which seemed to be a statement.

Li Buhui has been silent since he received the telegram, without saying a word.

"Forget it, the empress will return in three days. I... I, Li Shi, will not participate in the welcome ceremony. I am a straightforward person. Anyway, I don't think the empress is worthy!" Li Shi said again.

These words were so bold that the veteran behind him gasped, and even subconsciously backed away a little, trying to distance himself from Li Shi.

"Li...Master Li, absolutely not! It is His Majesty's will to welcome the grand ceremony. If you don't go, you will be deceiving the emperor, and it is...disrespectful!" An old official said tremblingly.

"Anyway, Mr. Li is the clan of Guozhu after all. If he puts down his disobedience, it's okay to be punished. If he hurts Guozhu's Li family and his wife, it's not good." An old minister Said.

"That's right, Mr. Li can't act impulsively!"

"Calm down, Master Li!"

……

Veterans are advising.

Li Shi also realized that what he said was a bit too much.

Indeed, he can disregard his own life and death, but he cannot ignore his influence on the Li family.

"Hey!"

Li Shi let out a long sigh.

Then, he turned around, looked at these veterans, and sighed:
"I...I am also forced to be helpless, because this...this is really unfair, and, don't you all see it?"

"In the past few years, there have been people in the court who have been telling His Majesty to clear us old officials. What does His Majesty mean when he suddenly pushes the emperor out at this juncture? What else could it mean?"

"After the empress returns, she will definitely regain power. That means cultivating cronies belonging to the empress' line. Could these people be you? Impossible!"

What Li Shi said was true.

The return of the empress made such a mobilization, this action is too big, and it definitely has great intentions.

What is the big intention?

It's nothing more than cleaning up the court after borrowing the emperor's empress!
And this directly means that these veterans, especially those veterans who support the First Prince, will completely withdraw from the court.

Your Majesty is His Majesty after all, the heart of an emperor is naturally the means of an emperor.

Of course it is impossible to order directly.

Your Majesty only needs to take this opportunity to release his will, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can comprehend it by themselves, and then implement it wisely.

When the emperor and empress return, they will lose the concubine Xiangfei, the crown prince, and the elder sect.

Therefore, those who should retire, it is best to retreat on their own initiative, so as to save themselves a face.

Any action taken after the return of the empress must be strongly supported, which is also to redeem oneself.

otherwise……

"That's right, we really can't directly oppose the empress, because opposing the empress now is treason and deserves death. But...we can express our wishes, we can treat them negatively, and express..."

Li Shi was talking.

At this time, Li Buhui, who had been silent for half the night, finally spoke.

"I tell you that after the return of the empress, you must support and support unconditionally! There is only one empress in the Great Han Empire, and that is Empress Mengyeqingyou!"

"No matter how the Chang'an court changes in the future, whether it is new ministers entering and old ministers retreating, or other things, you must obey unconditionally!"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Buhui snapped.

No one responded, His Highness nodded in silence.

Li Buhui looked around them, shook his head, helplessly, finally set his gaze on Li Shi, and said in a deep voice:

"Li Shi!"

"Go back to your mother, my subordinates are here!" Li Shi raised his head.

"This Palace orders you, after the Empress returns, you need to plead guilty to the Empress as soon as possible, no matter how the Empress punishes you, you must absolutely obey!" Li Buhui said in a deep voice.

"Do not……"

"This is an order! And you, what rebellious and foolish words were just said? You have to remember that the empress represents the will of His Majesty. Do you dare to disobey His Majesty? Do you dare to challenge His Majesty's authority? My Palace Let me tell you, if this is the case, let alone Your Majesty and the Empress, I will be the first one not to let you go!!"

"Also, I will personally explain the matter of the joint letter to the Empress. You are not to blame for this, because you do not know that the Empress is still alive and will return soon!"

"In addition, remember one thing, the return of the emperor is the great fortune of the country, and the great fortune of our subjects!!"

Li Buhui's every word was majestic and frightening.

Your Highness, the veterans are still silent, their eyes are red.

Li Shi, who stood at the front, gritted his teeth, knelt down on the ground, and said:

"Li... Li Shi, please obey your mother's order!!"

"Old minister, I would like to obey your mother's order!"

In the rear, all the veterans knelt and knelt together, shouting the same thing.

Li Buhui breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands, and wanted to say something, but hesitated, and after a while, he still spoke, with a slightly weak voice, and said:
"This is a big man, His Majesty's big man! Don't challenge His Majesty's will at any time, and no one in this world can challenge His Majesty's will! You...you must always remember this, understand?"

"Understood...!" His Highness's senior ministers gritted their teeth, their voices were crying.

"Your Majesty cannot be wrong..." Li Buhui sighed.

Immediately, the posture was restored, the demeanor was majestic, looked around His Highness, and said with a smile:
"Forget it, it's getting late. It's time for you to go back to the ceremony to welcome the return of the empress. Don't come to the East Palace again. This will have a very bad influence on you."

"My lady..."

"Come on, see off!"

Li Buhui got up, flicked his sleeves, and left the main hall of the East Palace directly.

She went straight to Zhao Antai's bedroom, and was in charge of serving the maids of the East Palace. The servants quickly got up to greet her, but Li Buhui stopped her with a wave of her hand, and asked in a low voice:
"Is Taylor asleep?"

"Go back to empress, after the first prince read at night, he ate some soup and fell asleep." The maid replied.

Li Buhui nodded, then signaled the maid to open the door, quietly walked into the bedroom, sat in front of the bed, and looked at the face of Zhao Antai who was soundly asleep at this time.

Li Buhui smiled subconsciously, and raised his hand to straighten the quilt.

But immediately, as if he remembered something, his smile froze, his eyes were red.

After not staying for long, Li Bugui turned and left.

After going out and closing the door, Li Buhui said to the maid and attendant: "Don't tell Tai'er tomorrow that I came here at night."

"Yes, empress!" The maids and attendants bowed in response.

Li Buhui nodded.

Then he walked towards his bedroom.

Before entering the bedroom, she dismissed the maids and attendants who followed her, entered the room alone, and climbed up to the attic alone.

Open the window, the full moon is in the east, and it is about to set.

At that moment, Li Buhui closed his eyes, two lines of tears rolled down again, gritted his teeth, and sighed: "Your Majesty, does Buhui really have no place in your heart?"

……

Heaven, after all, is bright.

A new day begins.

After noon, Chang'an Broadcasting Station began to make a grand announcement, and the news that the emperor and empress would return to Han soil in three days began to spread thoroughly and comprehensively throughout Han soil.

The people were excited and rejoiced, and a big celebration began to brew.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, appeared on the radio and television screen, announcing matters related to the planning of the grand ceremony, and at the same time signed an administrative order for the five-day holiday for Han and Tu.

This undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere to a climax!
People seem to have forgotten that the empress has been absent for 11 years, and they are all moved, excited, and looking forward to it, as if suddenly dreaming back to the past!

……

at the same time.

And state.

Shangjun, the state capital.

and Prince's Mansion.

Bingzhou is a strategic fortress in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the first gate of Zhengbei. After the Yuanmen Rebellion was resolved with the prince Zhao Yuanlang, he settled in Shangjun and guarded the northern border on behalf of the Han Dynasty!

After that, he married Mo Li, and after asking His Majesty to marry him, he held a grand wedding in Shangjun.

He Prince Zhao Yuanlang has always been the chief official of Bingzhou and served as the governor of Bingzhou.

And Princess Moli single-handedly built the Bingzhou Town General's Mansion in the early years, and now she also carries three stars on her shoulders. She is the general town general of Bingzhou and concurrently serves as the vice president of the Zhenbei War Zone!
After all, the Zhenbei War Zone was established late and has a weak foundation, so there is no commander-in-chief level, the highest is the commander-in-chief of the war zone!

But even so, Li Li should be the highest-ranking female general in the army and military line of the country today!

However, as the little princess Zhao Mo gradually grew up, Prince He, who had no interest in politics, simply abdicated and resigned from the position of governor of Bingzhou, happy to be a happy prince.

On the contrary, Mo Li had always held an important position, so there was nothing he could do about it, after all, there would be no one in the Zhenbei War Zone after Li Li was gone.

The two have been married for more than ten years.

Now even the little princess is 13 years old, and she looks very slim.

Not long ago, Mo Li couldn't help Zhao Yuanlang's soft-heartedness, and took maternity leave in the town general's mansion and the war zone, and now she is pregnant with Liujia.

Concubine Xiaoyi asked His Majesty to resign in the third year after the empress mysteriously disappeared. She left Chang'an and stayed in Bingzhou all the time, leading her granddaughter to spend her old age peacefully.

As the biological mother of the prince, the little concubine was very opposed to the marriage between Zhao Yuanlang and Mo Li back then. If it wasn't for His Majesty's gift of marriage, the couple might have been broken up.

But it's also interesting to say.

The mean mother-in-law who didn't want to see her daughter-in-law the most in the past has become the crazy daughter-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law the most, making Zhao Yuanlang very aggrieved all the way.

The young couple had conflicts, and Zhao Yuanlang, who was born with different martial arts skills and only reluctantly joined the martial arts for more than ten years, could not beat Mo Li. He said he could talk, but he was afraid of being beaten if he talked too much.

Thinking that the concubine was his own mother and was once Li Li's master, he went to complain to Concubine Xiaoyi, but...

Ugh!
This time.

At the dinner table.

After the family of four finished their meal, Li Li glanced at Zhao Mo, the little princess.

　Good night, sweet dreams
