Chapter 67 The Empress

Jiao Lian had the imperial edict in hand, and Zhaoqing Ming army was his direct line and quickly took control of the army.

With the army in hand, the overall situation stabilized. Qu Shixi breathed a sigh of relief, and then invited Lu Daqi and Li Yongmao to the Jinyiwei Commander's Office to pass on the emperor's will to the two great scholars, and inform them of the situation in Guangzhou.

Lu Daqi and Li Yongmao were both surprised and happy. What was shocked was that the emperor's seemingly risky move against the public was successful. The unpredictable Shaowu Dynasty collapsed so quickly, and he also made full use of Shaowu's generals to block the attack of the Qing soldiers.

What I am happy about is that after this battle, the Han people will inevitably grow up, and the Ming Dynasty's revival is expected.

"The emperor is a great talent and a very good fortune for the Ming family and the people of the world." Lu Daqi sighed.

"Yes, the emperor, even the genius, is it a blessing for us ministers to meet this wise ruler. How dare Xiaoyuan not do his best?" Li Yongmao also quickly expressed his opinion.

Qu Shixi smiled slightly and informed Ding Kuichu about the secret communication between the Qing army.

Lu Daqi and Li Yongmao looked at each other to hide their horror. The two hurriedly said, "Mr. Qu, since the emperor has entrusted you with full authority to deal with this thief, please give an order. We will cooperate with you with all our strength."

When Qu Shixi heard the attitude of the two, he felt completely relieved and asked Li Yongmao and Ma Jixiang to arrest Ding Kuichu's family and imprison him immediately, confiscate all his family's wealth and enter the treasury, and eliminate his dependents.

Lu Daqi also asked Jiao Lian to quickly arrange the city defense of Zhaoqing and stabilize the city in the city, so as to prepare the Qing army to attack Sanshui and then the troops arrived at Zhaoqing.

Lu Daqi, Li Yongmao, Jiao Lian and Ma Jixiang went separately. Qu Shixi then came to the palace and asked the Empress Dowager.

When the eunuch Wang Kun heard that the emperor had a letter, he was very happy and asked Qu Shixi to wait for a moment. He hurriedly ran to Cining Palace.

Since the emperor left without saying goodbye, Empress Dowager Ma and the Queen have always been treating Wang Kun with both nose and face. When they see him, they either scolded him or scolded him. They took him a little mistake several times and made him kneel for a long time.

He knew that the Queen Mother and the Queen were concerned about the Emperor's safety, and were anxious and angry, and were dissatisfied with him not reporting the information, so he was angry with him.

Now that I'm fine, my life should be better.

"Empress Dowager, Empress, the emperor has a letter!" Wang Kun knew that the empress was paying tribute to the empress dowager, and came outside the Cining Palace. He shouted loudly without waiting for the eunuch of Zhao Lin, the eunuch in charge of the Cining Palace.

"Oh? Come in and talk!" The surprise voice of Empress Dowager Ma came from the palace.

"The Empress Dowager, Empress, Lord Qu is waiting for the order outside the palace. He said that there is a message from the emperor, please see the Empress Dowager." Wang Kun went into the palace in two steps in three steps and bowed to report.

"What are you going to be too late? Come in!" When Empress Dowager Ma heard this, she quickly called for her.

"Abide by the order!" Wang Kun bowed quickly, turned around and ran out.

Empress Dowager Ma glanced at Wang Chang and saw that her increasingly haggard face was tense tightly. She knew that she was still worried about the emperor's safety and hurriedly advised: "Empress, don't worry, if the emperor's letter comes, it means he is fine."

"Yes, mother, son is not worried." Wang Chang quickly squeezed out a smile and replied respectfully.

Having said that, Wang Chang was actually unable to let go before she could not hear the news about the Emperor's safety. However, she also knew that the Empress Dowager was not less worried than her. These days, the Empress Dowager was unwilling to eat and couldn't sleep well, and she saw it all.

The emperor is the queen mother's heart, and he is even more of his own god.

...

Qu Shisi was in, knelt on the ground, and told the emperor and his party in Guangzhou in detail. Empress Dowager Ma and Wang Chang then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank God, my ancestors bless me..." Empress Dowager Ma muttered, put his hands together, and bowed several times one after another.

"I didn't even bring a eunuch. Who is responsible for the emperor's food and clothing? Do you eat well? Do you sleep well? Have you lost weight?" asked Empress Dowager Ma.

She knew that these were the queen's most concerned.

"I really don't know this." Qu Shixiu replied.

I heard Jiao Lian tell the situation in Guangzhou, and he didn't know some details very well. However, there was a girl from the Zhuang family who was taking care of him by the emperor, so Qu Shixi knew about this. For the sake of safety, he didn't dare to say this.

"Call Jiao Lian to ask." Empress Dowager Ma ordered.

"Mother, look at you, how can you be so anxious? Jiao Lian is setting up city defense, which is a big deal. If you want to ask him to come for this matter, the emperor will be unhappy when he knows." Wang Chang felt relieved when he learned that her husband was fine. When he heard that the empress dowager wanted Jiao Lian to ask in detail, he quickly stopped him.

"The queen is right. The Ai family is confused. Qitian, go and do major things. Remember to wait until Jiao Lian is no longer busy, let him come and tell the Emperor about the Ai family." When Empress Ma heard that the queen was right, she quickly changed her words.

"Yes, I follow the order. However, the Empress Dowager and Empress, as far as I know, the emperor has Chen Zizhuang, Chen Bangyan and Zhang Jiayu, and Chen Bangyan was brought by the emperor, and he was the most careful. However, Chen Zizhuang and Zhang Jiayu are both locals in Guangzhou. With them, the emperor must be well taken care of for his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Queen Mother, please relax." Qu Shisi comforted her.

"Qi Tian, ​​go and do your business. If you know the emperor's safety, the empress dowager will be relieved. Please give Qi Tian more care to ensure the safety of Zhaoqing so as to avoid the suffering of the people." Wang Chang said from the side.

When Qu Shixi heard this, he admired him very much and praised him in his heart: "What a virtuous queen!"

"Yes, I obey the order. Please rest assured that the Empress Dowager and Empress are notorious. Although the Qing soldiers are notoriously famous, Guangzhou and Sanshui City are here. The Qing soldiers dare not come west. If there are soldiers who use their lives, Zhaoqing will be worry-free." Qu Shizi said.

"I don't understand these military and national affairs, so I'll be very worried about it," said Wang Chang.

...

Qu Shixi said goodbye and left the palace. He walked on the road. The more he chewed the queen's words, the more he admired him: "With this wise and virtuous queen, he will not worry about the great cause of revival."

Thinking of this, Qu Shisi strengthened his confidence and took big steps toward his official residence.

...

Zhang Biao rescued Sanshui according to Zhu Youlang's will.

As for why he came so quickly, we have to start with Zhang Jiayu.

Zhang Jiayu joined the army in the north in his early years and suffered from the problem of cold legs. When it rained, there were signs of his legs.

On the evening of the 29th, Zhang Jiayu had just fallen asleep after midnight, and felt the sore and painful old cold legs. He realized that it might rain tomorrow. When he thought of the rain, he naturally thought about the impact of the rain on the war. When he thought of the war in Sanshui, Zhang Jiayu realized that it was not good, so how could he still lie down? He quickly got up and ran to the palace to ask for the emperor.

Zhu Youlang had already fallen asleep. He fell asleep unknowingly after witnessing Dai Yilan's kung fu.

It turns out that Dai Yilan’s so-called kung fu is not as dirty as he imagined, but that he knows qigong.

Dai Yilan asked him to lie on the bed, massage him, and injected a trace of true energy into his acupoints. The warm feeling quickly relieved the fatigue of his body.

Although he was a little disappointed, this qigong massage did make him feel very comfortable, enjoyable, and had an extraordinary experience in his past and present lives.
