In the royal study.
The empress looked at Du Liufeng with a slightly dissatisfied look on her face, and said in a deep voice: "How much grain and grass have those merchants monopolized?"
"Your Majesty, the major merchant families in the capital have almost monopolized all the food and grass sales in the capital!"
"Even some of the aristocratic families below have to act based on their looks!"
"Therefore, my subordinate's methods are too radical. Otherwise, it may be difficult to deter other merchants."
"Well!" The empress's face softened a little, and she said softly: "I don't mean to blame you. These aristocratic families are facing a national crisis. They don't want to share the country's worries. Instead, they do it for their own selfish interests, regardless of the lives of the people in the world. They deserve to be killed. !”
"However, if you don't act so recklessly in the future!"
"Although Phoenix Tower has the power of life and death, it cannot be above the laws of the country. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
"Is there any news about the war ahead?"
"Your Majesty, there is no news yet!"
"well……"
The empress sighed leisurely, waved her hand and said: "Go down first. If there is news about the front line, and... news about Shen Yu, come and report to me as soon as possible!"
"According to the order!"
After Du Liufeng left, Mu Qingcheng sat on the dragon chair with a hint of worry on her face.
Even though Ning Fan repeatedly promised him that he would not be personally involved in danger during the expedition, the woman who was moved by love seemed to have been poisoned and couldn't help but think of him!
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty...Shen...Master Shen is back!"
"Um?"
Mu Qingcheng looked stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face: "Shen Yu, where is he?"
"Already entered the palace!"
"good!"
Mu Qingcheng stood up immediately, with a look of surprise on his face, and looked at the waiter next to him: "Go and get my cosmetics and royal mirror."
"yes!"
The two maids went to get it together, but before they could wait for the arrival, they saw a waiter walking in from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Master Shen is already waiting outside the palace."
"Let Shen Yu wait in the side hall for a while until I finish processing these papers!"
"yes!"
The maids brought the mirror and cosmetics to the imperial study room. Mu Qingcheng's face showed a hint of panic, and she quickly started putting on makeup!
These were given to her by Ning Fan when he was in Guanshan.
"tread!"
"tread!"
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and then a hurried voice sounded: "Master Shen, His Majesty is handling government affairs, you... you can't go in!"
"Master Shen..."
When Mu Qingcheng heard the shouts outside the hall, she suddenly panicked and hurriedly hid the cosmetics on the table under the table. However, before she could completely put them away, she saw Ning Fan walking in and saw her panic. At this moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Government affairs...have they been dealt with?"
"Um……"
"Derelict in her duties!" Ning Fan said jokingly: "The majestic Empress Li does not take state affairs as a priority. Instead, she is enjoying herself here. If word spreads, wouldn't it make the world laugh at her?"
"you dare!"
"Hahaha!"
Ning Fan laughed loudly, picked up Her Majesty the Empress by her waist, and said softly: "We haven't seen you for many days, Qingcheng has become more and more dazzling and charming."
"The figure is also a little plumper."
"Sure enough, women need nourishment!"
"Shameless!"
"Let's talk inside?"
"Can!"
…
Half an hour later, the two of them were sitting in the imperial garden, and Gong Yuyan was summoned to make tea in person.
Ning Fan briefly described the battle situation on the front line, and both women looked shocked, especially Her Majesty, who had tears in the corners of her eyes and cried with joy.
"I didn't expect that Dali actually won."
"God bless me!"
"I am worthy of my ancestors, and worthy of my more than 100-year-old legacy in Dali!"
"Ning Fan, I, thank you!"
"No need!"
Ning Fan smiled, his expression became a little more serious, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be too optimistic. Now that Da Yan has suffered a setback in the southern border, Da Yan's national strength will still be difficult to match if Da Li makes a comeback."
"It doesn't matter!"
Mu Qingcheng's eyes showed a look of determination, and he said loudly: "The most difficult moment has passed. Now my court is united. The soldiers have experienced this battle and their morale has greatly increased. I can defeat Da Yan. I can also take advantage of this." It’s time to continue to take back power and win over the people!”
"I have the support of the people of Da Li now. In the past few days, celebrities and hermits from all over the country have come to seek refuge. Da Yan and Hu Nu only have a short-term peace treaty. The two countries are in collusion and will not last long!"
"I'm not afraid of him either!"
Looking at Mu Qingcheng's body, the imperial power seemed to be thicker than before. As he spoke, his whole body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of light, which made people feel awe. Ning Fan seemed to have noticed something.
"Is this the blessing of luck?"
"Or should we say, national destiny?"
Ning Fan couldn't figure out the reason, so he said softly: "Qingcheng, now that things are over here, it's time for me to return to Dayu."
"You want to leave?"
"Um!"
"The current situation of Dayu is not optimistic. Mobei is frustrated by Dayu, and behind him is Hu Nu."
"The reason why Hu Nu negotiated peace with Dayan this time is to plan the Central Plains!"
"If it doesn't work once, they won't be willing to do it!"
After hearing Ning Fan's words, Mu Qingcheng knew that no matter what he said, he would not keep him, so he nodded slightly and said, "When will we set off?"
"bright……"
"Boom, trigger the system mission [Emperor's Heart: Dragon Son]"
"Task requirement: sow dragon seeds and give birth to the emperor!"
"Mission time limit: thirty days!"
"Task reward: Snow Dragon Rider*10,000, Totem of Faith, open the national destiny section!"
Ning Fan suddenly stopped talking, and his expression showed a bit of astonishment. Under Mu Qingcheng's confused gaze, he said softly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"oh!"
There was a hint of surprise on Mu Qingcheng's face, and she looked at Gong Yuyan beside her and said, "Yu Yan, go get that curved leather cloak from my bedroom."
"yes!"
After Gong Yuyan left, Mu Qingcheng's eyes also showed a bit of tenderness: "Now His Majesty Emperor Yu has ordered you to supervise the country. After you return to Beijing this time, are you going to establish the East Palace?"
"No!"
Ning Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "My Dayu's East Palace has now been established."
"Um?"
"She is the daughter of my eldest brother, the emperor."
"What!"
Mu Qingcheng's face showed a bit of shock, and Ning Fan said with a smile: "We will discuss this matter later. Qingcheng, I have a plan that will allow our two countries, Yu and Li, to completely dominate the Central Plains and aspire to be the king of the world. It can achieve the unification of the world."
"Are you willing to work hard with me?"
"Um?"
"how?"
"You and I become one, Dayu and Dayi completely merge into one, dynasties change, and the Yuan Dynasty is founded!"
"By then, we will have given birth to the sons of emperors of the two dynasties, and we will be able to unite the hearts of the two countries!"
"..."
