Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 77
The man walked quickly to the stone platform, only to find that the stone platform was filled with clear spring water. White lotus flowers were floating on the water. If you don't care about your arm being frozen off, go ahead and pick it off."

Song Zhaoye's eyes flashed, he withdrew his hand and turned around to look, Ji Ruyi walked over lightly, with a funny expression on his face: "Xiao Ye, I'm in the mood to enjoy the flowers after staying up so late, but the flowers are beautiful but I can't pick them."

Song Zhaoye looked at Ji Ruyi and smiled: "Beauty sister, to be honest, the purpose of Xiaoye coming to Ice Valley is for the most precious ice snow lotus in Ice Valley."

Ji Ruyi said: "Ice and snow lotus has always been the sacred object of the Valley Master. Every Valley Master has to plant a flower when he takes office. He is practicing ice kung fu and raising flowers at the same time. Except for the Valley Master, even the disciples of the Ice Valley are not qualified to come here. , not to mention picking snow lotus."

Song Zhaoye's eyes flickered, with a smile still on his face: "Sister Beauty, this thing is for saving people."

Ji Ruyi smiled: "You want to save the emperor?" She took Song Qingtong's wrist to go to Jingde Palace that night, and found that her pulse was very dangerous, and there was evil poison in her body.

Song Zhaoye saw that he had been spotted, but he didn't hide it: "She is your nephew and daughter-in-law. Based on this relationship, can the beautiful sister let go?"

Ji Ruyi chuckled, "There is no respect in Ice Valley, so I can only follow the rules of Ice Valley. Xiao Ye sneaked into the Holy Land of Ice Valley. According to the rules of the valley, you must abolish your martial arts and drive you out of the valley."

Song Zhaoye's body froze, and naturally he would not take Ji Ruyi's words as a joke. It would be better to kill him if he abolished his martial arts. He quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "Beauty sister can abolish Xiaoye's martial arts, but the ice and snow Lian Xiaoye must be taken away."

Ji Ruyi giggled, clapped her hands and said, "You are so courageous, the owner of the Valley is right about you. You can take the ice snow lotus away, and you won't lose your martial arts. However, you must agree to my conditions!"

Hearing what Ji Ruyi said, Song Zhaoye was overjoyed that there was such a good thing. When he heard Ji Ruyi's condition and saw her eyes were full of calculations, he was alarmed, but he had no way out.

Seven days later.

On the Golden Luan Hall, Song Qingtong looked at the victory report just received, with a smile on his face. The victory report said that last night, Leng Junxie broke the formation of mandarin ducks and drove the invading Liao soldiers out of Northern Qin. The Liao army suffered heavy losses. Liao Emperor Xiao Di proposed peace talks.

Leng Junxie really lived up to everyone's expectations, and handed the good news to the eunuch. The eunuch stood on the jade steps and read aloud, all the ministers looked excited.

Dongfang Rui stroked his beard and said: "Jun Xie has been smart and brave since he was a child. The old minister watched him grow up. He has been born and died on the battlefield these years. He has made outstanding military achievements. Unfortunately, he is only a general so far."

Song Qingtong raised his forehead secretly, the old master was out of balance, but what was there to compare with a dead person, General Li died in battle, she named him Hussar General, his posthumous title was Zhong, and his son Xi Baron He said with a smile: "Mr. Ronggui has made great achievements. When his teacher returns to the court, I will definitely reward him heavily. All the ministers, what do you think of the Liao Emperor's peace talks?"

Lu Xuan came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom is deceiving people too much. I think that you should order Ronggui Jun to go straight to Huanglong!"

Qi Zhenzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the military expenditure is extremely high, and I fear that the military expenditure will not be enough."

Lin Kuang walked to the center of the hall and said, "Winter is approaching now, and the climate in the north is cold, so it is not suitable for war."

All the ministers seconded one after another.

Song Qingtong nodded, what the people on the frontier want is a peaceful life, and no one is willing to fight unless it is absolutely necessary. Since the Liao Kingdom has thrown an olive branch, there is no reason for Northern Qin not to follow.

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Liao people are cunning. Even if there is a peace talk, I think we should decide the place for the peace talk."

Song Qingtong nodded, and ordered the decree officer to draw up the decree: "Feng Leng Junxie is the imperial envoy, in charge of the peace talks. If the Liao Emperor agrees to hold peace talks in the border town of our country, the Northern Qin Dynasty can sit down and negotiate with the Liao Kingdom."

After retiring from the court, Song Qingtong came to the imperial study room. There was no accident. Ji Yunhe happened to walk to the door of the imperial study room with the ledger in his hand. As soon as she turned, Ji Yunhe immediately followed after entering the imperial study. She had already told him that he should be solely responsible for the affairs of the bank, and she trusted him.

But Ji Yunhe said that the money belongs to the court, and he is obliged to report to the emperor how much money the court has spent and how much is left.

Song Qingtong naturally wouldn't believe Ji Yunhe's words, what was his purpose in doing this?Oh, is it because of Ji Xiangru?If it was proved that Lin Xiangwan had colluded with Li Gong, then Ji Xiangru was most likely wronged, and it was Xue Rulai who spread suspicion to cover up the real spy.

Ji Yunhe thought about the income and expenditure situation of the bank the day before, and the situation was getting better and better. There were basically no people to exchange the silver, and the funds began to flow back. beyond the sky.

While Ji Yunhe was speaking, Song Qingtong interjected at the right time: "Yunhe, I know you are worried about Brother Ling. I have thought about it carefully. If Brother Ling is really wronged, I will definitely clear him up. I am now searching for Ji Xiangru all over the city. , I have already sent a message, and I will never hurt him after I find him, so you can rest assured that you don't have to run to me every day."

Hearing this, Ji Yunhe felt a warm current in his heart. He came to report to the Imperial Study Room every day. On the one hand, the reason was also because Ji Xiangru wanted to speak a few times but could only swallow the words.But there is another reason. When he was most helpless and desperate, she lit a lamp for him, illuminating his already gloomy road ahead. He wanted to see her, and he wanted to see her warm smile.But, it seems that she doesn't understand her own intentions, that's okay, he has plenty of time, and the timing is not right now, and he will let her understand when Ji's mansion is punished.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunhe said respectfully: "I thank the emperor on behalf of my brother, on behalf of my mother." Looking at Song Qingtong, he said again, "I will leave..." There was a bit of reluctance in his voice, but Song Qingtong didn't pay attention at all. It's not because of her carelessness, but because Ji Yunhe has already been judged by her, the impression is too important.

Not long after Ji Yunhe left, the eunuch came in and sent a message: "Lord Yuan, please see me."
