Queen's scheming

Chapter 73 Preparation
The night is as cool as water.The silence in Qiankun Palace was only the sound of the hourglass.Li Tianyou stood with his hands behind his back, under the bright yellow eight-treasure glazed palace lantern, he was dressed in a blue-colored bamboo-leaf uniform, which made him tall and tall, and his face with sharp water chestnut angles was full of tiredness.

"Your Majesty, this is 10 taels of gold obtained from Princess Ruiwei. In addition, Li Tianche's [-] elite soldiers have been included in our army, and now we are reorganizing the military regulations at the dark guard." Tang Zihan handed over the silver ticket and said sternly .

Li Tianyou turned around, took the banknote, and laughed at himself, "The dignified emperor actually wants to use the money sold in the harem decoration, this is really a big joke."

Tang Zihan grinned, tilted his head and said, "A man can bend and stretch. In ancient times, Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch. Why should the emperor care about this moment of downfall?"

Li Tianyou shook his head with a wry smile, his expression turned cold, "Ruiwei, how did you deal with it?"

Tang Zihan shrugged his shoulders, and said meaninglessly, "This minister treats his own body in the same way as his own, but the empress is an auspicious person, blessed by the heavens, and Princess Ruiwei has killed too many evils, so no matter what, she will not survive." " Tang Zihan gritted his teeth, if it wasn't because Rui Wei was a princess, he would not have let her die so easily.

Li Tianyou was noncommittal, "Chuyue should keep an eye on them all the time. Prince Yurui is sure to support him. The person hiding in the dark is too cunning to assassinate the eldest prince and princess from the queen. If they succeed, it will definitely be detrimental to Dali. Although Yurui is a bit willful, he will not pose a threat to us. If he becomes king, Chu Yue and Dali can live in peace for a while. If Rui Wei is now Be smart, and generations will be safe."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the current Rui Wei will definitely win the favor of Prince Yu Rui and the Queen. She has been carved according to the preferences of the Queen and Yu Rui in the past few years, so there must be no problem. Those four maidservants are also smart enough. He will definitely be the princess' right-hand man." Tang Zihan said confidently.

Li Tianyou nodded, took out half of the bank note, handed it to Tang Zihan, and said solemnly, "You personally oversee the work and forge a batch of swords, bows and arrows, the sooner the better, Wanfei's child is only two months old now. We have to have everything ready before this baby is born, just in case."

"I understand!" Li Tianyou trusted him more and more, and he became more and more mature in handling things.

"Your majesty seems to be very tired, let's take a good rest." Tang Zihan looked at Li Tianyou's tired face, and his double eyelids opened for a moment every time he opened his single eyelids, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.

Li Tianyou yawned, looked at the time, and insisted, "I'm going to see how the quality of King Che's [-] elite soldiers is, and don't let King Che eat up my hidden guards."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this issue. These ten thousand elite soldiers only obey the soldier talisman. If King Che didn't have the soldier talisman in his hand, how could these people obey his orders?" It is common for men to dominate women, how can these people who are galloping on the battlefield get used to it.

Li Tianyou said with emotion, "If the Queen hadn't been so vigilant this time, based on the clues left by the robbers, she would have drawn out King Che's elite soldiers. When the late emperor passed away, he stole the soldier talismans of a group of elite soldiers."

Tang Zihan nodded, and said with a smile, "The Empress is really a blessed person. Not only can she save herself from danger, but she can also help the emperor solve problems."

Li Tianyou smiled complacently, "That's natural. The most correct decision I made in my life was to welcome the queen into the palace with shamelessness. You don't know how much she didn't like entering the palace back then."

Tang Zihan was taken aback, and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Women in the world, who doesn't want to enjoy this supreme glory? After one country, the mother will honor the world. Besides, your majesty is so graceful, why would the empress not want to enter the palace? "

While sorting out the memorial, Li Tianyou said, "The empress is not an ordinary woman. She thinks the palace is boring. She is supposed to be a phoenix flying high in the sky. I want her to stay in this golden cage!" Li Tianyou After a moment of silence, he said softly, "So I'm sorry for her, as long as I'm here, I will definitely promise her the best."

Tang Zihan didn't answer, and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Li Tianyou raised his head and smiled and said, "I'm telling you this, you don't think it's interesting. I heard that your wife is an extremely virtuous lady from a famous family. You two must be in harmony, right?"

"This..." Tang Zihan didn't know how to answer, but said, "I respect her as a guest." He has somewhat forgotten what his wife looks like. During the half a year since he entered the palace, he rarely returned home, sometimes in a hurry When I went back, I went straight to the study. That gentle and gentle woman was always waiting in front of the door, followed by a long line of maids, holding clothes, food and so on. .

Li Tianyou stared at Tang Zihan and smiled, "I'm still shy! You said you should treat each other like a guest, but if you say a word, you will be stupefied! Go back to the house quickly, I haven't seen your wife for a long time! I understand, what? It’s called not seeing each other every day is like three autumns. Hurry up!”

"Then you?" Tang Zihan did not return home for some days, but seeing Li Tianyou's bloodshot eyes, he knew that he might not have rested for a long time.

Li Tianyou showed a bright smile, "I just said that if I want to give the Queen the best, I have to create it now! I'm going to see how their training is going."

Tang Zihan clasped his hands together and bowed back.

Just after leaving the gate of Qiankun Palace, I saw a row of red gauze lanterns snaking in the distance. The beauties surrounded in the middle walked slowly with lotus steps. Tang Zihan could recognize them even at such a distance. , that alluring demeanor, if not Shen Qingyi, who else could it be?Only she can wear red so perfectly.

Under the bright red cloak, there must be a gentle and charming face.It seems that I have only seen her dignified appearance, she should be different when she saw Li Tianyou.The emperor said that the queen empress is different from other concubines in the harem, she will greet him only when she is angry; when she is happy, she will smile like a silver bell; She likes to ride horses, and she is valiant and heroic on horseback. .

"General Tang, Concubine Xue is here to invite you." Yun Lu's voice interrupted Tang Zihan's deep thinking.

Tang Zihan coughed slightly, concealing his inappropriateness, and said seriously, "It's so late, Concubine Xue hasn't rested yet?"

"Your Majesty heard that you had entered the palace, so she waited all the time, and asked the general to accompany the servants." Yun Lu said respectfully.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to enter the harem right now?" In the middle of the night, even though she was her own younger sister, she still had to pay attention to the plums in the melon field.

Yun Lu smiled slightly, and everyone said that General Tang was the most unrestrained, but now it seemed that he was familiar with the palace rules, and Concubine Xue almost forgot, "Your Majesty warmed tea in the side hall in front."

Tang Zihan raised his eyebrows slightly. It was so late, but Concubine Xue insisted on seeing him. What's the matter?
