Ji Qingxue fell asleep in the middle of watching the sunrise. This time, nangongyan didn't wake her up, but carefully hugged her in his arms.

Nangong Yan looked down at the sleeping man, and his mouth was filled with a smile: "ah Xue, this is really a good start."

I also want to stay with you all the time, but I'm going to Qingqu city.

Sima Jingxuan gathered a large army and looked covetously at the border. Naturally, he would not sit safely in the palace.

Some things have dragged on for so long that it's time to finish.

Nangong Yan kissed her face: "ah Xue, you have to wait here for me to come back."

The sky was white with fish bellies, and the rising warm sun inlaid Liuyun with a layer of Phnom Penh.

After sitting beside the cliff for a while, Nangong Yan went down the mountain with Ji Qingxue in his arms.

At that time, Mukong and his disciples were doing morning class. Nangong Yan held her in the yard. Mukong opened his eyes and smiled at him, and then recited scriptures and worshipped Buddha.

Nangong Yan didn't bother, but silently hugged the people in his arms and left Hanshan Temple.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Fu'an came to find someone. Fu'an said anxiously, "emperor, you can come back. Lord Shoufu couldn't find you in the palace several times. He was dying of anxiety."

Nangong Yan first put Ji Qingxue on his bed, and then slowly said, "send orders and let Shoufu and several cabinet ministers wait for me in the hall of diligence."

Fu'an swept away the floating dust and said respectfully, "I'll obey your orders."

When nangongyan arrived at the hall of diligence, the ministers had been quarrelling.

"Shoufu, do you really want to be fooled by the emperor? How can Dayan's foundation for hundreds of years be destroyed by a woman?" Lord Li was indignant. "I really don't know what kind of ecstasy that woman gave the emperor. The Emperor didn't hesitate to go to war with the state of Wei and didn't want to hand over people!"

Suddenly, he yelled at Qingtian: "be careful, Mr. Li! The woman in your mouth is the queen of my big Yan and the mother of a country. You are so disrespectful to the queen. Do you want to offend the following? If the emperor listened to that just now, I think Mr. Li has to move not only his official hat, but also his head!"

When Lord Li was told to Qingtian, he suddenly regained his mind. Fortunately, the emperor was not here. If he really heard what he just said... Lord Li was scared into a cold sweat.

Nangong Yan, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked slowly into the hall and saluted Qingtian immediately: "I'll see the emperor!"

Nangong Yan brushed his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "you love Qing, don't be polite!"

After nangongyan took his seat, he looked around and said, "today, I want you Aiqing to come to the diligent government hall to discuss important matters."

He saluted Qingtian first, and then said, "the emperor asked his ministers to wait for the border?"

Nangong Yan nodded, "I just want to hear what you Aiqing mean."

The hall is so quiet that you can hear the sound of a needle landing clearly. No one wants to be the first bird.

Nangong Yan slowly hooked his lips: "I'm here to let you Aiqing speak freely. If you have anything in your heart, just say it. I forgive you for your innocence."

With Nangong Yan, this sentence is equivalent to a death free token. In this way, they have a little more courage.

After a moment's hesitation, the Assistant Minister of the cabinet, Lord Xu, boldly said, "the emperor is now eyeing hundreds of thousands of troops and horses to defend the country, and the border is urgent. Has the emperor ever thought about whether this battle really has to be fought?"

Nangong Yan's slender fingers gently clasped the table and motioned him to continue with his eyes.

Seeing that Nangong Yan was not angry, Lord Xu continued: "Dayan has been stable for more than 70 years. The world has become peaceful and the people are happy. If the emperor insists on war, I'm afraid it will make the people miserable again."

Lord Li quickly took over the conversation: "tell the emperor, I think what Lord Xu said is very true. The stability of Dayan is bought by countless border officers and soldiers. If it is broken, Dayan is afraid to fall into deep water and fire again. Moreover, there is a way to subdue people's soldiers without war. Why does the emperor insist on going to war? So please think twice about the war!"

Nangong Yan's hand no longer moved. He raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "what's the way that Lord Li said to bend people's soldiers without fighting?"

Xu is Nangong Yan's eyes are too sharp. Lord Li only feels that his cold hair is straight, and he doesn't dare to look directly into his eyes.

Seeing that they didn't speak for a long time, Nangong Yan pulled the corners of his mouth: "Oh, since Lord Li won't say, I'll help you."

"Lord Li wants to hand over my queen to the state of Wei, so that you can rest assured?"

Nangong Yan's face was expressionless, but he was not angry. His fierce momentum was threatening. Several adults present did not forget how the man in front of them ascended the throne in those years.

He is not a puppet emperor. He can be manipulated by others.

Lord Li was shaking like chaff: "Weichen, Weichen dare not!"

Nangong Yan patted the table fiercely, his face was gloomy, and his words were like a knife: "no? I think you dare very much! I'm so great. Yan Yan needs a woman to maintain stability. What's the use of raising you ministers?"

As soon as this remark came out, several people present immediately fell to the ground: "please calm down, Emperor!"

"Calm down? How can I calm down!" Nangong Yan was very disappointed. "I thought you were just used to living a stable life, but I overestimated you because you were still ambitious to follow your father! You are just a bunch of cowards who will only push women out when things happen. I am ashamed of you!"

At this time, Lord Li still didn't give up his heart. He said somewhat unconvinced: "emperor, Dayan is so safe and stable. You can't destroy everything because of a woman. Is it difficult that a woman is more important than Dayan's rivers and mountains? Beauty is a disaster, Emperor. All the officials are thinking of the whole Dayan people!"

Seeing what Lord Li said, Nangong Yan couldn't help humming coldly: "I misunderstood you. Lord Li cares about the people and is really a rare good official."

Lord Li didn't hear Nangong Yan, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "Weichen is an auxiliary Minister of the cabinet and the emperor's eyes and ears. If the emperor only wants to listen to good words, the cabinet doesn't need to exist. The emperor's loyal words are against his ears!"

In the hall, Nangong Yan was hidden in the dark. He said calmly, "do you know why I called you today?"

"Didn't the emperor say it was for the sake of defending the country?"

Nangong Yan shook his head: "it was just now, but it's not now."

He spoke slowly: "I have ordered general you to send troops to Qingqu city for a long time. I have made up my mind. I won't listen to what you say. Now I want to solve another matter."

With a wave of Nangong Yan's wide sleeve, he swept the envelope on the table to Lord Li's eyes. He opened his mouth faintly: "Lord Li can see the contents of this envelope and see if there are omissions."

Lord Li didn't know why. He just picked up the envelope. When he saw the contents, his face immediately turned white.

He stared at the letter in his hand and wondered how the emperor would know about it? How did these things get into his hands?

Nangong Yan's eyes sank slightly: "you are so brave to collude with the people of the state of Wei and want to be disadvantageous to the queen!"
