Reborn Empress Loves Farming

However, it turned out that during the reign of the first emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, he was infatuated with the art of immortality and devoted all his country's efforts to solicit alchemists to practice alchemy and Taoism. Later, some alchemists offered advice. Some of the southern witches were proficient in the magic of nourishing the heart, which could make people live longer and stay young forever.

At that time, the people of the witches, who were sent by the imperial court, were sent to the capital. No one knew how the witches who had always excluded foreigners could serve the emperor. They brought the witches' magic, including wujiguo, a holy thing of the witches.

But the emperor's long life of seeking medical advice was cut off in the bloodbath of the prince seizing the throne in his later years. He ignored the government all the year round, leading to the loss of power and the prince seizing the throne. The emperor finally died on the poisoned wine handed over by the prince.

Later, I don't know whether it's a mistake or a calculation. Finally, Xiao Hongjing, the third son of the emperor, who has never been involved in the fight between princes, just likes to have fun and ignore Court Affairs, ascends the throne.

After the death of the former Emperor, Xiao Hongjing didn't leave the capital. Instead, he settled down in a mountain depression outside the capital. He just lived in a shallow place. In the capital, there were no more rumors about the witches.

Gu Qianqian always feels that there seems to be a conspiracy here, but now she doesn't know these old stories. She directly asks Xiao Hongjing, "how was Wuji fruit stolen?"

"Strange to say." Chu Ziran reached out and put on the tea cover. He said with a little doubt, "this Wuji fruit is regarded as a sacred thing by the witches. It has always been guarded by special personnel. But last night, without disturbing anyone, Wuji fruit disappeared from the secret room of the witches. The witches also shocked shuntianfu, but there was no clue about it."

When Gu Qianqian heard the words, the smile on his lips became more and more obvious. He said: "originally, I was not sure that this one in my hand was a real Wuji fruit. Now I don't have to doubt its authenticity after listening to Wang Ye's words."

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Ziran asked in a puzzled way, but as soon as he finished, he seemed to realize something. He looked at Gu Qianqian with bright eyes and said, "are you..."

Has Gu Qianqian already got the Wuji fruit? This can also explain why she was so calm after hearing that wujiguo was stolen. But Chu Ziran thought that it was impossible. He never doubted Gu Qianqian's ability. He just wanted to find Wuji fruit before the elite of the palace and steal it from the witch people. It was not easy.

Although Gu Qianqian is smart, she has no power in her hand.

Gu Qianqian laughs but doesn't speak. She takes out the paper bag that the long song threw to her last night from her arms, opens it, holds it in front of Chu Ziran's eyes and says, "please see, Wang Ye, this should be the Wuji fruit stolen by the Wu clan."

"The Wuji fruit is really in your hands. Did you steal it from the witches? How do you know where the Wuji fruit is? " Chu Ziran takes Gu Qianqian's Wuji fruit and looks at it.

"No matter how powerful Qian Qian is, he can't get it from the warlock people without knowing it." Gu Qianqian's eyes fell on the piece of paper that wrapped Wuji fruit and said, "this Wuji fruit was sent to the maid last night."

Chu Ziran followed Gu Qianqian's eyes and saw the small words on the paper.

"Looking forward to meeting your urgent need?" Chu Ziran slowly read out, eyes also turned sharp, "do you know who this is?" That is to say, although no one in the government leaked the secret, some people still inquired into the conversation between them. But why did he not notice the presence of this person when he had been sleeping in the battlefield for many years?

Gu Qianqian repeats the story of the long song he met last night to Chu Ziran one by one. Chu Ziran's eyes gradually deepen and says, "long song? The name seems to have been heard somewhere Haven't you seen his face from beginning to end? "

Gu Qianqian shook his head, said: "he wrapped too tightly, must be deliberately do not let slaves know."

Chu Ziran nodded, pondered for a while, and returned the Wuji fruit to Gu Qianqian. "Since Wuji fruit has been in your hands, you can keep it. Don't be seen by outsiders, so as not to cause any trouble. To tell you the truth, I don't know what the purpose of this man is, but he did help us a lot. Otherwise, even if we find the witch people, we may not be able to persuade them to send us Wuji. "

This is also true. Changge saved a lot of things for Gu Qianqian and the royal family. However, Gu Qianqian said to Chu Ziran, "just by this, we can't judge whether he is an enemy or a friend. The Lord should send someone to investigate this man named Changge."

Chu Ziran smiles and says, "don't worry, I have my own opinion on this matter."

After Gu Qianqian came out, she hurried back to the room, put the wujiguo in her hand together with the classic of difficulties into the dowry and locked it. She hung the key around her neck and looked at the dressing table for a long breath.

Now just wait for the news of Fengyin.

Just three days later, another 800 Li urgent war report was sent all the way back to the top of the imperial city from the Hanzhou battlefield.

The preacher rushed all the way and fainted in the Jinluan hall, but the last words he tried his best to shout were still echoing around Xiao Hongjing's eardrum, which made his ears roar and his eyes black."Newspaper! When Yangcheng was lost, general Zheng Xiu was defeated and captured by the rebels. At the expense of his troops, 100000 generals were killed. Jiangzhou was in a great crisis. Please send a large army to support him as soon as possible! "

Hanzhou is back to the frontier. Yangcheng is an important channel to the Central Plains. In the past, grain and grass in the army were transported to the frontier from Yangcheng. The terrain of Yangcheng is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also a natural danger. Hanzhou and Jiangzhou are separated by a Yangcheng.

Zheng Xiu's adherence to Yangcheng should rely on the fortress of natural danger. Even if he can't recover Hanzhou, he can at least protect one side of the people in a short time. Who knows that he also made the same mistake as Zhang Ji'an: he was greedy for success and rash to advance. The flattery of his staff made him forget his own weight, and he was eager to restore the glory of his family. So he fought against Chen Guo'an in the battlefield. Who knows, he won Chen Guo Ann's trap was not only captured, but also lost Yangcheng.

After Yangcheng is Guangmao's boundless hinterland of the Central Plains, and its combat strength is weak. The loss of Yangcheng means that Xiao Chen and Chen Guoan's army can drive straight into the Central Plains, and the situation is overwhelming!

Xiao Hongjing can no longer despise Xiao Chen and Chen Guoan's nephew as before.

On the main hall, the cabinet ministers who were summoned in a hurry also looked different. No one had any action, and no one was the first to speak. The huge palace was suddenly in a strange stalemate.

Moreover, all the ministers found that when the border was in emergency, Xie Hua, the prime minister, who was the head of all the officials, was still forbidden to stay in the house, and was not called to the court to discuss major affairs.

What was the emperor's attitude towards Xie Hua? He was tolerant and severe at one time. It's hard to understand. This is the voice of many ministers present.

"Ministers, is there nothing to say?" Xiao Hongjing sits in a high position. No one dares to look up at him, but he also hears Xiao Hongjing's voice. His anger is like squeezing out of his teeth.

How could he not be angry! At the beginning, he pushed Zheng Xiu to the position of general, hoping that he could make great achievements and weaken Xiao Hongjing's position in the hearts of the people, and that he could further control the army of Dazhou through Zheng Xiu.

But what happened? The loss of Yangcheng is like stripping his face on the ground and trampling on his feet. Now he still feels a burning pain on his face. This is the general he appointed himself. Now the loss of Yangcheng is a disaster to the people. I don't know how the government and the public will talk about him as an emperor and how many complaints they will have against him!

He has just banned Xie Hua from the government under the name of unknown crime. Now he has the same name. In order to convince the public, he may have to take the lead in issuing the imperial edict to avoid being discussed by scholars all over the world.

But Xiao Hongjing's loss is more than that. He has already set up a plan to take over military power. Now Zheng Xiu's defeat has disrupted all his plans. All his previous efforts have been wasted, and everything has to be planned again.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling Xiao Hongjing was. His fingers on his knee were tightly clenched together. Seeing that the ministers at the bottom were either silent or shifting their responsibilities with their eyes, they all turned a blind eye to his problems and got angry.

He threw the memorial on the ground, and his voice was as cold as winter: "don't you always talk about the strategy of governing the country and stabilizing the country? Don't you have a lot of quarrels with each other? How come when it's your turn to make up your mind, one or two of you have become dumb? "

All the ministers knelt down to the ground in a hurry and said, "the emperor is calm, and the ministers are terrified!"

"Calm down? How can you make me calm down? " Xiao Hongjing was very angry and said with a smile, "don't you always shout to share your worries for you? Now I'm in a mess. You should think about it for me. " Xiao Hongjing's last words were very soft, but in the ears of the ministers, they all felt a chill on their backs.

"The emperor." The Minister of the Ministry of war, Mr. Song, came out and said, "I think that the loss of Yangcheng, the capture of generals and the floating of military will are not good for the imperial court. The most urgent task is to send a new general to take over the chaos left by Zheng Xiu."

Xiao Hongjing regained his peace. He looked at Song and said with a smile, "in Song Aiqing's opinion, which general in the court can shoulder this heavy responsibility?"

"This..." Mr. Song's forehead was full of sweat. He thought about it carefully and said, "I think that this general must have prestige in the army first, so that he can stabilize the morale of the army very quickly. Secondly, he must keep up with Chen Guohua. Only in this way can the rebels be scared and dare not venture forward. Even if we look at the court of the Zhou Dynasty, we can only Only the carefree Lord can be competent. "
