What Yu Fan said just now were all treasonous words for beheading. Of course Yu Caiwei didn't dare to say it, so she could only say vaguely:
"Your Majesty, what else can I say? I just want to ask how my concubine is doing in the palace and whether the food she eats is to your liking..."
But Zhao Zheng is no fool.
These words were enough to fool the previous puppet emperor. How could they fool the current Zhao Zheng?
His big hands roamed unscrupulously on Yu Caiwei's plump and soft body, along her graceful curves, and finally rested on her fair and jade-skinned neck.
With a big hand squeeze, Yu Caiwei screamed in fear, because Zhao Zheng could break her neck with just a little force.
"My beloved concubine, do you know that lying to me is the crime of deceiving the emperor! The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by beheading!"
"Although you are charming and know how to please me, if you dare to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, I will kill you..."
"Now, I ask you again, what did Yu Fan say to you in private just now? You answer me word for word. If there are any lies, I dare to guarantee that you will not be able to live or die!"
Yu Caiwei was firmly restrained by Zhao Zheng's big hands. She was like a frightened deer, trembling uncontrollably.
Zhao Zheng's words frightened her so much that she turned pale and sweated like rain!
Under the emperor's terrifying intimidation, Yu Caiwei no longer dared to lie. She could only lower her head and tell Zhao Zheng exactly what Yu Fan said just now:
"Return to your Majesty, Yu Fan just told me that he and his father planned to pretend to be horse bandits outside Yanmen Pass last night to harm Your Majesty, and then..."
Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes and listened quietly to Yu Caiwei's statement. It turned out that the Yu family's plan was very different from what he had guessed. They really wanted to trick him out of the customs and then kill him.
Fortunately, he still had Yu Caiwei's amulet in his hand, otherwise this personal expedition would have been a disaster.
After Yu Caiwei finished saying all this, Zhao Zheng finally removed his hand from her tender neck, then hugged her tight waist and said with satisfaction:
"My beloved, you didn't lie, you didn't let me down!"
Yu Caiwei was hugged by Zhao Zheng, and she snuggled into his broad arms. She gently hugged his arm and said softly and coquettishly:
"Your Majesty, I have betrayed my father and brother for you. Just now Yu Fan was trying to trick His Majesty into charging into the battle, but I kept blocking him. Now I am completely on your side. of."
Zhao Zheng didn't doubt this, because it could be seen that Yu Caiwei had become more and more submissive to him in the past two days, and she was becoming more and more obedient.
Looking at the charming beauty in his arms, Zhao Zheng laughed evilly, suddenly stretched out his big hand and grabbed the phoenix robe tightly, and then tore it hard, making a stinging sound.
Yu Caiwei was caught off guard, her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and she asked softly:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what do you want?"
Zhao Zheng smiled faintly, played with the strip of silk cloth torn off in his hand, and said:
"My beloved concubine's performance is so satisfactory to me. I should reward my beloved concubine well."
Yu Caiwei said shyly:
"Your Majesty, we are on the road to the Northern Expedition. There are many guards outside the sedan. Your Majesty, how could your Majesty do this?"
Zhao Zheng smiled freely and said arrogantly:
"So what if there are soldiers outside? Just let them hear my majestic appearance!"
"Hahaha……"
Before he finished speaking, he had already torn Yu Caiwei's phoenix robe to pieces with his backhand!
…
It was a dusty and long journey, and the soldiers worked non-stop without any delay.
Finally, three days later.
The large group of people led by Zhao Zheng arrived at Yanmen Pass in the northernmost part of the Daqian Empire!
When they heard that Emperor Daqian was on his own expedition, the soldiers in Yanmen Pass went fifty miles out of the city to greet him, and held a very grand welcome ceremony. The guard of Yanmen Pass, Zhenbei School Lieutenant Cao Yun, personally came to the scene to host it.
Zhao Zheng traveled for three days, and worked day and night with Concubine Yu on the way. He was already starving.
However, he was not in a hurry to eat, and first called Zhenbei Captain Cao Yun to come closer.
Cao Yun was a tall and strong man, and his skin was tanned because he led troops in battles all year round.
As soon as he saw Zhao Zheng, he quickly bowed down and said:
"Cao Yun, the last general of Zhenbei Campus, comes to see Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Then he said quickly:
"Your Majesty, the camp is shabby and there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas to entertain Your Majesty. There are only hundreds of fat sheep raised by ordinary herdsmen. Now they have all been slaughtered for Your Majesty's enjoyment!"
Unexpectedly, when Zhao Zheng heard this, he shook his head and said:
"Hundreds of fat sheep? That means they can produce at least tens of thousands of kilograms of meat! Yanmen Pass is located outside the Great Wall. Autumn has entered again, and it will soon be the twelfth lunar month of winter. The weather will be freezing and the ground will be freezing. How will the soldiers keep out the cold?"
"I heard that mutton is warm in nature and is the warmest to eat. It is an excellent ration to keep out the cold! Let's quickly store these 10,000 kilograms of mutton, dry it into dried meat, and wait until winter to distribute it to the frontline soldiers to keep out the cold. of food!”
When Cao Yun heard this, he was stunned on the spot!
Why is the emperor in front of him so different from the emperor in rumors?
Although Cao Yun was not an official in the court, he often heard that the emperor of Daqian was an unprincipled and ignorant king. He drank and had fun every day and did not think about government affairs. He knew nothing about border defense and military affairs.
The government and military affairs of Daqian were all handled by the Queen Mother Yu and the Prime Minister Yu Zhong.
Therefore, when I heard this time that this ignorant and unruly king actually wanted to lead a military expedition in person, Cao Yun and the soldiers on the front line were all worried. They were afraid that when the time comes, the ignorant king is an amateur and an expert in commanding, and one general is incompetent, which will exhaust the entire army and ruin the good war situation.
But as soon as they met, the emperor's words made Cao Yun look at him with admiration!
The majestic king of a country actually wants to leave the rare mutton outside the Great Wall to the soldiers on the front line to keep them warm from the cold!
Not to mention anything else, this move alone moved Cao Yun!
After all, not to mention the emperor, even some previous local officials only cared about their own enjoyment and did not care about the life and death of the soldiers on the front line.
How could such an emperor be an ignorant and ignorant emperor?
This is clearly a wise king!
Cao Yun couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that the previous rumors about the emperor were malicious slander?"
