Qi Xingyun rubbed Zhao Qi's hair, making it a mess, and said with a smile: "You know how to do this, what's so good about it."

Zhao Qi, with his messy hair on his head, stuck out his tongue without fixing it, listened to Qi Xingyun's heartbeat, and said dreamily: "I really want to stay by the emperor's side like this."

The next morning the sun was shining brightly, and Qi Xingyun headed towards Shanhaiguan without further delay.

Zhao Qi was lying in the car to catch up on his sleep. Qi Xingyun was used to staying up late, but Zhao Qi didn't have the ability.

With the springs for shock absorption, the driving comfort was further improved. Zhao Qi slept until noon, then rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

"Drink some water?" Qi Xingyun handed over a water bag and said with a smile.

Zhao Qi raised his head and drank a lot of water, then wiped his mouth and said: "The emperor's energy is really good. This concubine is going to be in trouble."

Qi Xingyun nodded: "It's only a day and a half's journey to Tongtian River, but I will stay by the Tongtian River until the autumn. You will be the only one who will sleep with me along the way. Eat more and take good care of yourself."

If Qi Xingyun had something to say, he would immediately increase the speed of the car.

Zhao Qi stretched hard and then said, "See what you can do."

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Qi Xingyun shook his head indifferently and continued to review the essay. When it came to criticizing, the only person around Qi Xingyun who could stand up to him was Zhao Qi.

This woman knew how to bring freshness to Emperor Da Qi.

"Does your Majesty know that the more the cattle are plowed, the thinner they become, and the more plowed the land becomes, the fatter it becomes?" Zhao Qi smiled belatedly.

Qi Xingyun smiled and said: "What a good woman, Fei Han. It's almost noon, what do you want to eat? I'll let Wang Yun do it."

"Anything is fine." Zhao Qi said with an angry smile: "I will eat whatever the emperor eats."

Qi Xingyun lowered his head to review the essay, while Zhao Qi lay by the window, looking at the endless sea.

Zhao Qi suddenly sat upright, pointed to the beach in front of him, and said in surprise: "There seems to be someone there."

Qi Xingyun raised his head and took a look. Not to mention, Zhao Qi's eyes were really good. There was indeed a person buried in the sand in the sand pit on the beach.

Just when it was time to eat, Qi Xingyun stopped the convoy and sent his personal officers to investigate to see if the man was alive.

Wang Yun received the report from his subordinates, ran to the side of Dajia Yuzhi, and reported back: "Your Majesty, he was from Liao, and he was carrying his three-year-old daughter on his back. They both died within three hours of his death."

"Liao people, why did you die in Daqi?" Qi Xingyun paused with his chopsticks. Could it be that he was a spy?

Qi Xingyun looked at the sea and frowned. The Liao people were a nomadic people of fishing and hunting. They were all good at fishing, sailing and riding horses.

Wang Yun said with embarrassment: "We also found the wreckage of several small boats on the beach. They must have sunk after they capsized. Judging from their clothes and the nameplates used to check their identities, they were probably not spies, but ordinary Liao people who had fled.

common people.”

"We encountered wind and waves at sea, hit a rock, and sank."

"Did the Liao people escape into the pass?" Qi Xingyun paused with the chopsticks in his hand, thought for a while and said plainly: "It is my decree that anyone who discovers the Liao people will be rewarded with military merit! Beheaded by one level and receive a military title.

Get a promotion."

Wang Yun took the order and left. Zhao Qi was so frightened that he looked at Qi Xingyun with a pale face.

"What, did it scare you?" Qi Xingyun looked at Zhao Qi's appearance and knew that his kind persona had finally collapsed.

"The emperor has always been considerate of the people. The courtiers spoke frankly to each other, and the emperor was never angry. He talked about killing people so calmly, and I was a little distracted for a moment." Zhao Qi blinked hard, letting his expression become natural.

A few points.

Qi Xingyun completely put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhao Qi, and said with a smile: "You just asked me why I deal with government affairs day and night, right?"

Zhao Qi nodded in surprise. Does this have anything to do with the issue under discussion?

"Do you know Emperor Nanming of the Southern Dynasties?" Qi Xingyun asked.

Zhao Qi pouted, shook Qi Xingyun's hand and said, "After all, I am a lady from a famous family. I have read the history of the Southern Dynasties."

Qi Xingyun nodded and said: "The first half of Emperor Nanming's life can be described as a Mingjun. The internal affairs of the country were pure and harmonious, and the barbarians were frightened by the powerful force of the Southern Dynasty. The chariot we are sitting on is still a large chariot left by the Southern Dynasty.

Even Qi’s craftsmen can’t imitate it.”

"It can be said that it was a prosperous age, with great achievements in culture, governance and martial arts. The nine heavens closed the palace, and the clothes and hats of all nations were worshiped."

Zhao Qi said yearningly: "Does the emperor also want to create such a prosperous age so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment?"

"No." Qi Xingyun shook his head.

"The fact that the people live and work in peace and contentment means that this agriculture-based country has developed to its limit and it is difficult to increase the finances."

"Modern internal politics means that interest groups have begun to consolidate, and interest groups have begun to hinder the blood of the empire."

"The great martial arts skills actually show that there are constant wars. Victory in wars requires extremely powerful force."

"It sounds like there's a danger lurking around, right?"

"In fact, this is exactly what happened. Under the prosperous age, a ruthless crisis was hidden and the Southern Dynasty was buried. In the second half of his life, Emperor Nanming was scolded bloody."

Qi Xingyun's expression was particularly serious, and he looked at the vast sea and said: "The situation I am facing now is actually the situation that Emperor Nanming is facing. If the situation is not broken, the crisis will be covered up when we capture the rebels.

moment."

"I don't want to wait until I grow old to become like Emperor Nanming."

"Now, taking advantage of the substantial improvement in military capabilities brought about by the military merit equalization system, before solving the rebellion against the Han and even the Liao Kingdom, we should try our best to solve the problems that Daqi may encounter yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

When involution, make more buffer."

"This is the reason why I am so diligent."

"As for the Liao people, they are just an outlet for domestic conflicts. There will be a war with Liao in the future. Once a war breaks out, it will be a national war... What is being fought is the fate of the country and the strength of the country. The losing side does not even have the right to live.

"

"Any pity I have for the Liao people will be repaid a hundred times or a thousand times to the people of Qi with bad consequences."

"I am the emperor."

Zhao Qi was a little confused. The emperor's words had never touched her before.

But there was obsession and admiration in her eyes. She suddenly pulled the driver's door hard and said softly: "I just like you like this."

…

On the grassland.

Dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

After a meal of mutton and kumiss, Luo Xingchen and his party left the camp and prepared to leave the Horqin tribe.

This is just a small branch of the Horqin tribe, and the Uzhina they rescued is the daughter of the leader of this small tribe.

Outside the camp, Uzhina was waiting.

"My benefactors, Uzhina doesn't have anything else to give to you, so I will give you these horses to serve as your legwork."

Uzhina smiled and spoke while reaching out and petting the white horse.
