Qinzhou, on the capital of Fengdong Suburbs, Maiji Mountain (cliff), Zhang Lihua climbed up to look into the distance, looking at the vastness around him, and looking at the huge Buddha statues in the caves beside him, and I felt very shocked.

There are many grottoes in Maijishan (cliff). It is said that they were built during the Later Qin Dynasty. This Later Qin is different from the Yao Qin State, which is different from the Fu Qin Dynasty.

Qinzhou is an important place in Longyou, and is not far from Chang'an in Guanzhong to the east, so the powerful and religious people in Chang'an City are very interested in Maijishan, which can open caves and carve Buddha statues.

During the Yuan and Wei dynasties, there were more and more grottoes in Maijishan (cliffs). During the Western Wei/Zhou Kingdom, the powerful and powerful opened grottoes and carved Buddha statues in Maijishan, which became the current scale.

When Zhang Lihua was in this, she naturally felt magnificent.

Like many people, she believes in Buddhism, but she is not addicted. She burns incense and worships Buddha on weekdays to pray to the Buddha to bless her and her son and to bless her to stay with the emperor forever.

But the emperor did not worship Buddha very much, so Zhang Lihua rarely went to the temple, and her memory of the temple was in her childhood.

In Jiankang, although there were many Buddhist temples and many Buddha statues in the temples, there were not many grotto Buddha statues dug along the mountain.

Therefore, when she stood in front of the group of Buddha statues in the cave, she felt that her every move was clearly seen by the Buddha.

Looking around, I saw that most of the escorts were admiring the Buddha statues in the grottoes.

In the distance, Li Li sat on a large stone, motionless. Three painters were drawing Li Li to the souvenir of "going here".

In fact, Zhang Lihua wanted to sit next to Li Li, but there was already someone sitting there: the queen in casual clothes sat on the right side of Li Li.

The queen is the first candidate to "draw" with the emperor, so no matter how favored Zhang Lihua is, she cannot overthrow her.

Of course, according to the convention along the way, it will be her turn to "draw" with the emperor in a while, and then Madam Feng.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lihua looked around and wanted to see where Miss Feng was, because it seemed that the other party had been "disappearing" for a long time.

After looking around for a while, she didn't see anyone, so she found a female official and asked about Madam Feng's whereabouts on the excuse of something.

When Zhang Lihua learned that Madam Feng had taken two maids and a guard to the back of the mountain, she raised her eyebrows: Take a guard to a secluded place?

There is a problem!! You must be stealing a man!!

She thought so in her heart, and her face remained silent: "I understand. Remember to remind Madam Feng that after I painted it with His Majesty, it will be her turn."

After the female official Ying Nuo, Zhang Lihua and others left, she became active:

Haha, I'll sleep together at night. You can't fight for me, and my stomach is not strong enough, and I haven't been moving for a long time. Now I'm in a hurry to get pregnant, so I'll borrow it from my lover... right?

You're finished, you're finished!

Zhang Lihua decided to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and squeeze out the competitors.

Of course, the fewer competitors, the better. Zhang Lihua figured it out. Among the concubines in the harem, her previous "seniors", including Miss Xiao, would not be able to become old or deteriorate in a few years.

Only Feng Xiaolian, who is younger than her, cannot be taken lightly.

Feng Xiaolian is also young, beautiful, talented, and very good at dealing with things. For her, she is indeed a strong opponent.

Now the opportunity has come, but Zhang Lihua dare not be careless because she must be cautious in handling this matter so as not to be suspicious of the emperor.

Even if Feng Xiaolian is to be defeated, the emperor cannot see that he is the "murderer". Otherwise, the emperor will be angry and embarrassed, and she will be in trouble.

Therefore, we must find someone to expose Feng Xiaolian’s secret of meeting a lover.

Soon, Zhang Lihua thought of Chen Chang, the governor of Qinzhou.

When the emperor went on a tour to Qinzhou, Chen Chang, as the governor of Qinzhou, certainly had to accompany the imperial guards, and was also in Maijishan at this time.

Zhang Lihua knew where Chen Chang was now: Chen Chang and other accompanying officials were waiting under a big tree not far from the barrier, so he sent someone to invite him.

When the person came, he asked, "Eunuch Chen, I don't know what coolness, secludedness and flowing water are around Maiji Mountain?"

When Chen Chang heard Concubine Zhang (Zhang Lihua is Concubine Jie) ask this question, he wondered: What's going on? Feng Cairen asked this just now.

You are asking again now, it is not because you find a good place for Your Majesty, but because you go...

Thinking of this, Chen Chang suddenly felt nervous because he had heard from someone to report that Feng Cairen and two or three people were going to the "cool, secluded and flowing place".

He didn't care at that time. After all, there were soldiers and horses stationed around Maijishan, and the field was cleared in advance, and soldiers were on duty everywhere. There could be no accident.

Now, I realized that the situation was wrong, and it seemed that there was something wrong with Feng Cairen going like this.

However, what problems can be? There are soldiers on duty near that place, what problems can be?

Chen Chang felt a little headache.

Now, when Zhang Jieyu asked about this, was it for the emperor? To catch the evildoer? Or did it rise up and ask casually?

Thinking of this, Chen Chang was confused: How should he respond when encountering such a mess?

After his father Chen Baxian passed away, he had several "Uncle Shi" mentioned that his "sleekness" in dealing with people's lives has finally been tempered after years of hard work, but when it comes to intrigue between the royal harem, then...

If you don’t answer, Chen Chang said something, and only that place meets the requirements.

Zhang Lihua was secretly happy and said, "Please send someone to prepare. Your Majesty will go there for a while and have a look."

"Yes, the lower official understands."

While he was talking, Li Li came over and was about to say something to Zhang Lihua. Seeing that Chen Chang was right there, he asked, "Envoy Chen, is there any news in Tuyuhun?"

"Ah, Your Majesty, go back to Your Majesty..." Chen Chang finally turned his thoughts and replied: "There is no news in Tuyuhun, and there is no news about sending an envoy to see him."

"That's how..." Li Li's thoughts were also led to the wrong way because of Chen Chang's appearance: "Where is the Turkic envoy, in Maijishan?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the Turkic envoy has not recovered from diarrhea, so he rested in the state hall, today and in the future Maijishan."

"It's not going well yet, is this too much..." Li Li pondered, and Zhang Lihua didn't dare to interrupt when she saw this.

Chen Chang no longer thought about Feng Cairen's affairs and made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, I think that the Turkic envoy was observing and trying to adapt to the situation, so he couldn't get up by taking the pretext of lying on the bed."

"That's true." Li Li nodded and talked about the situation in Longyou to Chen Chang.

Although Qinzhou is located in the southern part of Longyou area, it is connected to Guanzhong. Once Longyou is in chaos, the turbulent army will harm Guanzhong. First, it must take down Qinzhou before it can enter Guanzhong along the Weishui River Valley.

Or, if the imperial court wants to manage Longyou, then Qinzhou is the "point of effort".

The relevant arrangements are already underway, but Li Li is not only concerned about the Longyou area, but the Turks who have been in dispersed.

Since a few years ago, the Turks suffered a great loss when they were in charge of the imperial army, and they were relieved a lot. However, after several years of cultivation and rest, Li Li felt that the Turks would definitely be ready to move again.

But before the other party takes action, he must first understand the situation in the Central Plains, and the situation in the Central Plains has changed drastically.

Last year, the Chu army invaded Guanzhong, defeated the main force of the Zhou army, and forced the Zhou king and ministers to surrender. The Zhou country was ordered to be issued in various parts of the Zhou country.

At this time, the Turkic envoy who had just arrived at the border of Liangzhou was stunned: the Zhou State was destroyed and he had no object to the mission.

So he turned around and ran away, running very quickly, and there was no trace in an instant.

I thought I would run back overnight to bring the news of the demise of Zhou and the unification of the Central Plains to Khan.

Today, in the Turks, there is finally a stable (relatively speaking) Khan in the eastern region. He is Daluobin, the son of the late Mugan Khan, named "Apo Khan".

This spring, Apo Khan sent an envoy to the Central Plains, carrying heavy gifts to "congratulate" the emperor of Chu who unified the Central Plains.

Just so happened that Li Li went out to patrol Guanlong, so he asked the Turkic envoys to wait in Qinzhou, and the Qinzhou government first received the envoys.

As a result, after the other party arrived at Shangfeng, he vomited and had diarrhea after being "not adapted to the environment".

In addition, Tuyuhun, who has been harassing Longyou, knew that the situation in the Central Plains had changed drastically and the victor (Chu State) had asked Tuyuhun to send envoys to see the emperor, but there has been no reply yet.

I don’t know if it’s because of being a thief or if I have any other thoughts.

Speaking of Tuyuhun, Chen Chang was a little annoyed: "Tuyuhun's wolf ambitions will rush out of the Huangshui River Valley whenever he has the chance, harassing Longyou, and robbing people and livestock. This has been the case for decades."

"Last year, Guanlong changed its ownership, and Tuyuhun ran out to take advantage of the situation to rob, but he just couldn't take much advantage."

"Now, Your Majesty is on a tour to Longyou. Maybe Tuyuhun is guilty of being a thief and is worried that Your Majesty will lead the army in person, so how dare you send someone?"

"Maybe, I'm going to fly away and avoid the limelight." Chen Chang said, sneering: "They are thieves. They are stolen and are chased. They run far away when the victim turns around and run back."

"Repeated harassment and repeated escapes are just because their territory is a bitter and cold place, which is large enough that the imperial army cannot catch up with it, and it will not be long before it is so unscrupulous."

When Zhang Lihua saw Li Li talking about state affairs, she even forgot to "draw" with her. She was anxious, but she didn't dare to interrupt, let alone mention "Feng Cairen and a guard went to a secluded place."

Fortunately, the queen came over and reminded her.

Chen Chang said with a wise man, and Zhang Lihua was about to act coquettishly, but she saw Feng Xiaolian with a rosy face coming.

Seeing the other person in this way, she was extremely shocked: I dared to show up as soon as I finished my business. Are you blind to be Sanlang!!!

Li Li saw that the little beauty's face was flushed, like a ripe red apple, with some sweat beads oozing out of her forehead and a little panting, and she felt strange:

"Where is this going? It's so hot that you are."

Feng Xiaolian pretended to be mysterious: "Sanlang guess..."

Seeing the queen looking at her, Feng Xiaolian felt nervous and did not dare to be pretentious. She quickly asked the guards behind her to step forward and then explained:

"Your Majesty, I'm behind the mountain and found a good place to go, there are streams and pools, and there are many fish in the pool!"

There is nothing strange about the number of fish, but after hearing this, Li Li became interested: "Fish? Is it a different fish?"

"Well, it's different." After Feng Xiaolian said that, he asked the guard to carry the wooden barrel filled with water, and there were a few freshly caught fish inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Lihua was a little disappointed: It turned out that she was going to catch fish?

No wonder I specially found a guard to catch fish, and the delicate little lady couldn't do it.

Feng Xiaolian didn’t know what Zhang Lihua was thinking, but she knew Li Li’s current interests:

Every time Li Li went there, he would investigate the local "aquatic resources", and then draw different fish and draw graphic to accumulate for the future publication of a "Aquatic Journal".
