The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Inside the palace.

The weather was just right today, Emperor Ming came down early, he did not go to the Qinzheng Hall to be a director, but entered the inner palace with great interest, and wanted to find the most sacred concubine Meng Guifei to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

As soon as Emperor Ming stepped into Concubine Meng's Chongyang Hall with a smile on his face, the servants rushed in in a hurry and presented an urgent report on the military situation of eight hundred miles to Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming opened the memorial and only glanced at it, the smile on her face froze, and her hands couldn't help shaking.

The Gaoshan Kingdom suddenly raised 30 troops, and the Hangu Pass fell overnight.

Losing Hangu Pass means losing the biggest barrier guarding the south. If the enemy army is not contained quickly, the large cities in the south will be in danger.

Emperor Ming hurriedly ordered: "Quickly recruit important cabinet ministers and military officers above first rank to discuss matters in the Palace of Qinzheng."

Emperor Ming had just stepped out of the gate of Chongyang Hall when another urgent memorial was presented.

The Xiongnu iron cavalry violated the border, and the three cities in the north suddenly fell. The Xiongnu iron cavalry burned, killed and looted all the way, and they were coming towards the capital aggressively.

It was true that misfortunes never come singly, one after another of bad news made Emperor Ming almost lose his breath in anxiety.

Li Dequan hurriedly supported Emperor Ming, who stomped his feet anxiously and shouted: "Hurry up and recruit important ministers to discuss matters in the Qinzheng Palace, hurry up! Quickly!"

As soon as Emperor Ming arrived at Qinzheng Hall, Li Ling was the first to rush over.

When Emperor Ming saw Li Ling, he took his nephew and told him, "Boyue, I just received the report that the Hangu Pass in the south has been lost, and the Huns from the north are attacking again. Oh, alas! There is an urgent need to attack from both sides. How can this be good."

Li Ling was inspecting the generals in the camp, when he suddenly received news from Ling Xiao in the mansion, saying that Empress Cao had actually issued a decree and reduced his wife to a concubine.Li Ling was so angry that he got on his fast horse and rushed to the inner palace to talk to Emperor Ming for an argument. Now that Emperor Ming was talking to him about the urgent military situation, Li Ling was both angry and sad.

He, Li Ling, lived and died for Daqi Jiangshan, but the royal family never gave him any respect, and he did such a thing to his wife.

Li Ling glanced at Emperor Ming's impatient look, with a cold face, he replied indifferently: "This world belongs to the Zhao family. If the enemy invades, what have I to do with Li Ling?"

Li Ling is a loyal person. When Emperor Ming suddenly saw his attitude, he was so anxious that he didn't recall it for a while. He stared straight at Li Ling and said, "Bo Yue, what's wrong with you today? You are me. Great General of the first rank of Daqi, now that the enemy army is pressing down on the border, have you been fooled?"

Li Ling glanced at Emperor Ming with displeasure, and said in a nonchalant tone: "The minister is here to address His Majesty today."

As he said that, he took out the military talisman from his waist, and put it on Emperor Ming's dragon case with a "click": "I, Li Ling, am no longer a first-rank general of Daqi from now on. If Your Majesty wants to retreat from the enemy, please order General Choliang .”

Emperor Ming glanced at the military talisman that Li Ling put on the desk, then fixed his eyes on Li Ling's icy face, and said in disbelief, "Bo Yue, what's wrong with you? Okay, why did you suddenly lose your temper?"

As he spoke, he picked up the military talisman and stuffed it into Li Ling's hands, half coaxing: "You are my nephew. If you don't share my worries at this time, who else can I count on? If you have any requests, just follow me." I just mentioned it, now I am really anxious to go to bed, you are my own nephew, are you going to get angry with uncle at this juncture?"

Seeing this, Li Ling knew that Emperor Ming had long forgotten what he had promised him yesterday. Facing this uncle who was getting older and more confused, Li Ling sighed helplessly. You have clearly promised not to interfere with the minister's family affairs, why did you let the queen issue an order to demote the minister's first wife as a concubine?"

When Emperor Ming heard this, he came back to his senses.

He let out a long sigh of relief, patted Li Ling on the shoulder and said, "I thought it was such a big deal that it was worth your temper, so it was because of this."

Emperor Ming looked at Li Ling with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said earnestly: "You say that your child is too straightforward, which man is not a wife and four concubines, what's wrong with letting you be a princess?" Well, you are my nephew, and you will be my half-son after the Lord Shang. Isn't this a good thing to have the best of both worlds. Besides, if you don't want to part with that Shen family, I won't force you, but just surrender her to you. For the concubine, how you doted on her in the past, you will still dote on her in the future, she is just a woman"

Everyone has a different mind, and their thoughts and actions are also very different. Emperor Ming couldn't understand Li Ling's behavior of being so weak and insisted on drinking a ladle alone.

Before Ming Emperor Xu Xu's "teaching" was over, Li Ling planned to say in a cold voice: "If Your Majesty refuses to let the Empress take back her order, I will have to bring my wife and children back to the fields."

With a cold sentence, the eloquent Emperor Ming was completely speechless.

Emperor Ming saw that Li Ling was not allowed to enter, so he had to compromise. He has been emperor for decades, although he is not proficient in the art of emperor, but he is very good at acting.

Seeing that Li Ling was not allowed to enter the oil and salt, the Emperor Ming was so determined that it must be the Shen family. He rolled his eyes, and then heaved a long sigh, pretending to be heartbroken, and said to Li Ling: "This Cao family is also my queen. It has been more than ten years, but she has never done things that I don't like. A few days ago, she mentioned to me that she would demote Shen to a concubine, and then lower Qingluan to you as a wife, but I just disagree."

As he said, he spread his hands, put on an innocent look, and continued: "Tell me, this Shen family has no fault at all, and she demoted his wife into a concubine for no reason. Isn't it detrimental to the royal face?"

"I really didn't expect that after I tried my best to persuade the queen for a long time, she would still go her own way like this."

"This Empress Cao is neither virtuous nor virtuous, it's really annoying and hateful!"

Emperor Ming sighed, stepped forward and patted Li Ling on the shoulder and said, "Bo Yue, you have to trust me. I really don't know about this matter."

As he said that, he put the military talisman into Li Ling's hand again, and said with a pleasant face: "Now the enemy army is attacking from both sides, and the urgency is extremely urgent. This is a joke and we can't delay it. I just ordered the important ministers of the court to come to discuss, and they will arrive in a while. You Don't make any more fuss."

Faced with Emperor Ming's overtures, Li Ling remained unmoved. He took two steps back and said with a cold face: "Since Your Majesty doesn't know about this, please order the Queen to take back the Yizhi."

As he said that, he put the military talisman that Emperor Ming had given him on the table again: "After the Queen takes back the Yizhi, I will personally apologize to my wife, and promise that I will not make things difficult for my wife in the future, and then I will receive your Majesty's military talisman."

After Li Ling said these words, he turned around and strode out of the Hall of Qinzheng without even showing any courtesy.
