Chapter 703 This is Kyoto
Kyoto Imperial Palace.
Emperor Qing was sitting on the dragon chair, flipping through the booklet presented below. As the world's largest military power, known as the Southern Barbarian by the Northern Qi Dynasty, a large part of Qing's focus was on military matters. In addition to mandatory military service upon reaching the age, the corresponding incentives are also very rich.
It's even a bit similar to Qin's military merit system, but it's much more perfect and not that extreme.
But even so, it can greatly stimulate the soldiers' fighting will.
The memorial he was reading at the moment was about the recent mobilization of border troops.
It's just that things didn't go too smoothly. Those military leaders valued military power too much, and it was very difficult to execute the orders above.
However, there was no anger on Emperor Qing's face, and he even had a smile on his face.
Things on the surface are always the best solution.
At this moment, a figure rushed into the palace. No matter whether it was a guard or a eunuch, he didn't even dare to raise his head.
Only the eldest princess Li Yunrui can enjoy this kind of treatment in the Qing Kingdom.
"Brother Imperial, why are you calling me in such a hurry?"
"Uncle Ninth is where you are?"
Emperor Qing closed the fold, looked at his sister in front of him and said softly.
As an emperor, he is qualified, but not ruthless enough.
If you can really only see power in your eyes, when that woman dies, you should clean up all traces, such as Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and even your own illegitimate son.
"This was already half a month ago."
Li Yunrui came to stand in front of the desk, glanced at it, and then quickly put it back: "Brother Huang, do you want him?"
"After all, he is our elder, and the clan mansion can still afford to support an old man."
Emperor Qing closed his eyes slightly, "You know his function, why don't you leave it to me?"
"If you don't give it, you won't give it!"
Li Yunrui hummed coquettishly: "Brother Emperor, does he want to be punished?"
Emperor Qing opened his eyes helplessly, "That's all, since Yun Rui you don't want to, then let Uncle Jiu take care of himself at your place."
The game of chess in the world is too big, and a mere old guy who is about to die of old age has no right to distract him. May I ask, it is because of Li Yunrui's reaction.
But this is good, because we can see what this sister wants to do.
"snort!"
Li Yunrui should have been happy that his goal succeeded, but when he saw Emperor Qing's calm face, he felt awkward again.
She was like this before, and she is like this now, and she probably won't change anything when she dies.
"Thank you very much, Brother Huang!"
Emperor Qing didn't speak until the footsteps gradually faded away, then he opened his eyes and pulled out a note from a separate book.
It records everything Fan Xian did after arriving in Kyoto, even when he went to the toilet.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Shou Xin, you can't stay in the princess's house all the time. People will make you useless. You should go out more often."
The old Taoist priest spoke helplessly, but the movements of his hands did not stop. Pieces of extremely delicious delicacies were quickly put into his mouth.
"Huh? Master, isn't this why you want me not to cause trouble?"
Amber raised her head and wiped away the grease on her mouth, "My life is so stable and ordinary now. I don't have to worry about eating and drinking every day. I feel so comfortable."
"well."
The old Taoist priest took a hard bite of a piece of beef and said, "The truth is this, but I just don't feel at ease."
"If the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up, so it won't hit us on the head."
Amber didn't care.
Every day when it was time for dinner, the old Taoist priest would come over on time. In his words, he thought he would have to leave later, so he would eat a little while he could now.
After eating, he will leave immediately without staying for a moment.
But Amber could tell that the old man was worried about him, so he found reasons to come and see him every day.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Boom!
The old Taoist priest who had just walked out of the Princess Mansion looked up at the sky. He didn't know when it had started. The originally sunny weather was now covered with dark clouds. The thick clouds seemed to be above his head, giving people a sense of oppression that they would collapse at any time.
Have to go faster
As he thought to himself, his steps became hurried. Because of this, the old Taoist priest who should have been alert did not notice that several pairs of eyes kept staring at him.
After walking hundreds of steps out of the princess mansion, raindrops poured down.
As a last resort, he had to choose places with roofs.
Just as they passed a corner, two men came face to face.
The road was so wide. In order to avoid being caught by the rain, the old Taoist priest chose to stand where he was and wait for the other party to pass.
laugh! laugh! laugh!
The moment they passed each other, a sharp dagger stabbed into his chest three times in a row. Not to mention the speed, there was no warning at all when he struck.
Master!
The old Taoist priest fell in a pool of blood, and the two people gradually disappeared into the rain.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and by the time other pedestrians had reacted, it was over.
A quarter of an hour later.
In the princess's palace, Li Yunrui was painting his eyebrows.
As she gets older, she cares more and more about her appearance. She will be angry for a long time because of a wrinkle, and she will also get angry because of a white hair.
In order not to look old, Li Yunrui will do everything possible to retain her beauty.
However, time is fair and will not change due to anyone's will.
"Your Highness the Princess!!"
The sudden shout outside the door made Li Yunrui's hands tremble, and her originally perfect eyebrows had an ugly mark.
She laughed.
"Speak."
"That one. That one was assassinated!"
That one?
Li Yunrui didn't react for a while, but soon realized who the servant outside the door was talking about.
"What? !! How is the person?"
With a bang, she slammed the table and hurried to the door.
"It's almost dead. Three consecutive knives are in the vitals."
The guard swallowed his saliva and his body was tense.
Although he didn't know why the princess cared about an old Taoist priest, it didn't affect his understanding of the importance of this matter.
Li Yunrui took a deep breath, and regardless of her eyebrows, she strode out of the residence and walked towards the other end of the mansion.
A palace maid next to her wanted to hold an umbrella, but was slapped to the ground.
A moment later, she came to the courtyard used to receive guests, and her jade legs that wanted to take a step were frozen in mid-air again.
How should I tell that guy?
Before Li Yunrui could hesitate for too long, a lazy voice sounded.
"Your Highness Princess came in the rain, but what important matter happened?"
Amber pushed the door open and walked out.
He had just eaten too much, and he was planning to take a nap, especially in this weather, it was simply too enjoyable.
"Uncle Jiu... was assassinated."
"Oh?"
Amber frowned, and the smile on his face faded.
"Don't joke around, it will kill many people."
The sound of dripping rain was so annoying to hear
He looked up at the sky, raised his hand and waved it, and the dark clouds hovering in the sky actually dissipated directly, and the sun shone down again.
