Chapter 9 Allies (1)
There was a commotion in the court hall, Song Qingtong frowned, she already had a preliminary understanding of this place, the geographical environment here is exactly the same as China, even the place names are similar, most of the area north of the Yangtze River was ruled by the Northern Qin Dynasty, The south of the Yangtze River, including the natural moat of the Yangtze River, was under the rule of the Southern Dynasty.If you want to attack the Southern Dynasties, you must cross the Yangtze River. The difficulty can be imagined. The famous Battle of Feishui in history, the Battle of Chibi, Fu Jian and Cao Cao led the lions to attack Jiangnan, all ended in failure. Therefore, the Song Dynasty Qing Tong felt that the chances of winning by rashly sending troops were not high.

Dongfang Rui said: "The army that invaded the border of our country this time is the rebel army of the Southern Dynasty, and cannot represent the Southern Dynasty. It is most taboo to send troops without a name. The so-called name is right."

Chu Tianmo came out and said: "The emperor Feng Lingyun of the Southern Dynasty has worked hard to rule since he ascended the throne, and has been unanimously supported by the government and the people. It is not appropriate for our dynasty to send troops at this time. This matter must be done gradually."

Lu Xuan retorted: "The Southern Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful. If we don't take advantage of it now, it will become a serious problem for our country. Please the emperor decide."

All the ministers looked at the throne, Song Qingtong straightened her back slightly, and it was her turn to speak again, thinking: "The Yangtze River is a natural danger that has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and our country does not take advantage of the land. The county is flooded, and our country does not occupy the sky. 10,000+ disaster victims are homeless. What they hope most is to find their relatives and rebuild their homes. If troops are sent at this time, human, material and financial resources will definitely be invested in the war, and disaster relief will definitely be greatly affected. Therefore, it is definitely not popular among the people, so I have decided not to discuss the issue of sending troops for the time being."

There was no sound in the court again, and the courtiers were obviously still not used to the empress' transformation from a faint monarch to a wise monarch. Chu Tianmo's lowered eyelids covered his sharp eyes. He didn't believe that such an earth-shaking change would happen to one person overnight. In fact, In fact, from the day the queen was poisoned, everything changed, her eyes, every frown and smile, every little movement!

Song Qingtong has long been used to the silence after each speech. It's not that she doesn't know that showing her edge like this will arouse suspicion. However, she has never been a timid person. She is naturally free and easy. After all, what's the fun in life?She just wants to be herself!
As usual, Song Qingtong finished reviewing the memorial in the Imperial Study Room, the sun began to move westward, and it was time to go back to the bedroom for dinner. The chair and the table in front of her were filled with all kinds of dishes. Yu'er was careful, and saw that the rice served was not enough for Song Qingtong every time, so she filled a bowl full this time.

Song Qingtong smiled and nodded, wanting Yu'er to sit down and eat together, but he can only think about it, this is the ancient times with strict etiquette, that will only harm Yu'er.

I had to jokingly say: "Yu'er wants to support me to death." Yu'er smiled coquettishly, and the other court ladies were very surprised. They thought that Yu'er would be doomed that day, but who knew that her relationship with the queen became so close.

There was silence at the dinner table, the maids were serving dishes and soup, only the clinking of bowls and spoons could be heard.

While eating, he suddenly heard the maid's scream from outside the bedroom door, and the eunuch's shrill voice sounded: "Cheng Liang, you are crazy! Stop him!"

Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind knocked open the door of the palace, Cheng Guan glared and flew, his cassock flew up with the wind, the long sword in his hand split the dining table in half with the momentum of thunder, the sword edge took advantage of the momentum and went straight to Song Qingtong's throat, Song Qingtong Qingtong's face turned pale with fright, what kind of wind was this young master, before Song Qingtong could order, the dark guard had already blocked the sword's force, Cheng Guan took a step back, and four guards in black surrounded him .

During the fight, Cheng Guan yelled at Song Qingtong: "You are a fool! If you have the ability to fight me alone! Bullying more and less is nothing!"

Song Qingtong's eyelids twitched, and he said: "You are not worthy of my daughter's body, so I will catch you alive."

Huarong watched the battle from the sidelines, taking advantage of Chengguan's unpreparedness, he kicked Chengguan, and Chengguan was kicked to the ground, all of them tied Chengguan's hands behind their backs.

Although Cheng Guan's hands were bound, his mouth was not idle, and he cursed Song Qingtong very harshly.Song Qingtong was so angry that his face turned blue, he didn't eat any food, and of course he couldn't eat it, there were broken plates and bowls all over the floor with steaming food, and there was no place to stand.He ordered the guards to shut Cheng Guan's mouth, and escorted him to the side hall.

In the side hall, Song Qingtong sat down in front of the table, glanced at Cheng Guan who was pressed down by the guards on the ground, his face was flushed, and said: "Cheng Guan, your behavior today is enough to raid the house and destroy the family. I want to hear your explanation." !"

The guard removed the rag from Cheng Guan's mouth, Cheng Guan gasped for breath, glared at Song Qingtong angrily, and said, "Mr. Hun! Daoist Shui Jing hasn't said a word since he came back from you, and he didn't even get a drop of water. He practiced in the bamboo forest. Sword, it has been two hours, if this continues, you will die from exhaustion." As he spoke, his voice became more and more trembling.

"What?" Song Qingtong was startled, why?

Cheng Guan added, "If you hadn't forced him to sleep in bed, how could he have become like this."

Song Qingtong was very disapproving, and muttered: "It's not that I haven't served in bed before, as for those who are looking for death and life?"

As soon as the words came out, Cheng Guan struggled to rush over, the stare at Song Qingtong could kill, Song Qingtong shrank her neck, it was so scary!
Huarong coughed lightly, and said: "It is true that Mr. Wen Gui didn't go to bed last time, this time is... the first time."

Song Qingtong glanced at Huarong in astonishment, Shui Jing had never attended bedtime!Feeling powerless all over his body, he said, "I'll go and have a look."

In the bamboo forest, a blue-gray figure, like a nimble bird, shuttled up and down among the bamboo branches, and the bamboo branches and leaves shot down by the sword energy were all over the ground. Song Qingtong shouted from below: "Shui Jing, I have something to tell you. "

Hearing this, Shui Jing's body trembled slightly, a bamboo branch landed lightly on the ground, Song Qingtong couldn't help but startled, Shui Jing's eyes were red, his face was pale, sweat trickled down his cheeks on the ground.

Glancing at the maids and eunuchs and a group of guards around, he said, "You all leave the bamboo forest. I have something to say to Shui Jing alone." : "I'll be fine, Hua Rong, you let them back down."

Huarong glanced at Song Qingtong, seeing that she was calm and not flustered, with a wave of her hand, all the guards backed out of the bamboo forest, and then she turned around and left the bamboo forest.
