The clouds gathered and the rain dispersed, and they were again. The two of them, who had been trapped in love for a long time, finally reached harmony through countless sublimations. Seeing that the beauty beneath them was really wild and could not bear the favor, Wufeng, who was still unsatisfied, stood up reluctantly from An Qier.

"Fenglang, you are getting stronger and stronger. Could it be that there will be no one to accompany you when you return to the imperial capital this time?" An Qier, who was snuggling tightly to her beloved, seemed to have not completely calmed down from her climax.

"Well, yes, aren't those two outside?" Wufeng was able to rub the jade man around him to the fullest, while experiencing this rare happiness.

"You said Shuangying and that girl from the Gu family. I think they didn't seem to be successful by you! Why, our famous great love saint also failed?" said while laughing.

"Hmph, don't say that, I'm not as windy as you said." Wufeng defended.

"Hmph, I want to cover up the news. I haven't read today's newspapers. The whole page is full of news about you. I think this imperial capital is about to set off a frenzy of idol worshipping you. How many girls do the emperor have now hope to win your favor? He is young and handsome, and has been promoted to the youngest duke of the empire. He also holds the military and political power in the two major regions of the empire. His future is limitless. He has not yet been married. Whether it is those civilian girls or those noble daughters, who doesn't want to marry into the Duke of Yum?" An Qier said quietly.

Feeling the emotions in the jade man's heart, Wufeng hugged the jade man, "Although I don't want to get married yet, you can never escape. You are definitely my woman, no one can take it away. I will always have you in my main house."

The marriage customs of the empire were a bit strange, combining the customs of the Tang tribes in the East Continent and the Slamic people in the Middle Continent. It was probably because of the influence of the founding emperor of the Empire. The mother of Situ Fengguang at that time was the Slamic people from the Middle Continent. Aristocrats above the marquis could be allowed to marry four righteous wives, while aristocrats above the duke could be allowed to marry eight righteous wives. But in fact, the gentry in the empire was still accustomed to marrying one or two righteous wives, with more than three.

After hearing Wufeng's words, Angel suddenly felt much more at ease. She also knew that her lover was ambitious and lustful. However, the customs and habits of the entire empire and even the entire continent were like this. She was not dissatisfied. However, Wufeng has not officially brought her to attend formal social occasions so far, and the most important thing is that she has never expressed her wish to marry her. This somewhat made her one of the three famous flowers in the upper class of the imperial capital a little disappointed. She saw that her lover's career was at its peak and she had to stay in the northwest for a long time, but she had to stay in the imperial capital for his career. All of this made Angel feel resentful. Today, I finally heard her lover's clear statement. Although it was a clear time, with a sentence from him, she was willing to do so even if she was hard or tired.

Gently placing her cheeks on her husband's majestic chest, Angel closed her eyes and silently wished her warmth would last forever.

However, the cruelty of reality cannot make this lover more addicted to sweet love. What else is hidden behind a peaceful surface? Just when Wufeng and An Qier were immersed in the love game of reunion, something happened quietly in the deep core of the imperial capital, the palace.

In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, eight unique fish candles reflected the small imperial study room transparently. Situ Mingyue was carefully reading the memorials presented by the ministers in the court, and her brows slowly frowned.

A little eunuch stood by the door holding a white jade whisk, lowering his head, motionless. The thick brocade curtain blocked the cold northwest wind outside the door, and a pot of red charcoal fire filled with warmth.

After gently putting down a memorial, Situ Mingyue took a deep breath, stood up, slowly moved her slightly numb body, and slowly paced in the study, as if thinking about something difficult.

Yes, Situ Mingyue was indeed in a difficult situation. Since the early court enthroned Li Wufeng's throne as the Duke and appointed him as the governor of the Northern Luzon region, he returned to the palace and received many secret documents submitted by important officials. The contents were similar, and they all asked him to limit Li Wufeng's power and influence to avoid another person like Lin Guoxiong or Lang Yongquan. He did not expect that his reward for his merits would trigger such a rebound, which shows how much influence Li Wufeng had on the ministers in the court.

But Li Wufeng did make a great contribution to the empire. It is without any boast that even a hundred years later, he could proudly show off to the ancestors in his life, and he had such a brilliant page in his life. When he was ruled, the empire's territory expanded greatly to the west, crossed the majestic Hengduan Mountains, and became the great empire in the eastern continent of Hengduan. With this, it would not be an exaggeration to give Li Wufeng any more rewards.

However, the ministers who submitted the memorials are all their own loyalties. They represent not only themselves, but the most important thing is that the core of the problems reflected by the several people is actually only one problem, which is that they are worried that as Li Wufeng's power expands, it will affect the royal authority. This is also a problem that I have always been worried about but want to avoid repeatedly.

In particular, the memorials of the Interior Minister Lu Wenfu can be said to be sincere and detailed, and the problems reflected are indeed shocking, forcing me to suppress the mood brought about by the Luzon Incident and carefully examine this issue.

Li Wufeng's steps were indeed a bit out of line. He even signed a peace agreement with Luo Beiren and released prisoners of war. He did not report such major events to the central government of the empire. He also actively expanded the army, accepted ethnic minorities, and won people's hearts. Could it be that these were just to consolidate the empire's rule in the northwest? Or did he have other ulterior motives?

The more Situ Mingyue thought about it, the more upset he became. He couldn't help but pick up the memorial and read it carefully, falling into deep thought.

"His Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Situ Mingyue, who woke up from her meditation, looked at the ringing bell beside her. It was almost ten o'clock.

"Military Minister He asked for a visit outside Qingyuan Palace."

"Oh? Xuan came to the Imperial Study room to see me."

"I, He Zhiqiu, bowed to Your Majesty." He Zhiqiu, with a solemn expression on his face, stepped into the imperial study room and bowed deeply.

"Please calmly, He Aiqing, you saw me late at night, but what major changes have occurred in the army?" Situ Mingyue asked with some concern.

"No, there is nothing else in the military. I saw you late at night, and it was just for the matter of going to Li Wufeng this morning." He Zhiqiu looked straight and said solemnly.

"Oh," Situ Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back, looking much more relaxed. "It's this, I thought the situation in the south had changed."

"Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is insignificant. In my humble opinion, if this matter is handled improperly, the consequences will be greater than the war in the south." He Zhiqiu's face turned a little white.

When Situ Mingyue heard the always cautious military minister say this, he was stunned, "He Aiqing, are you a little exaggerating?"

"No, Your Majesty, I have absolutely no exaggeration. If I don't pay attention to it, I think that Li Wufeng will become the second Lin Guoxiong, and his harm is even greater." He Zhiqiu said word by word to show the strength of his tone.

"Is this true? Then tell me your reasons." Situ Mingyue was shocked and her face became heavy.

"Your Majesty! Li Wufeng was an ordinary corps-level officer a few years ago. With his meager contributions during the Western Expedition, His Majesty promoted him to the guard of Qingyang City, but this man soon exposed his wolf ambition. First, he created a situation, took advantage of the unexpected death of Jinzhou City, and sent troops to Jinzhou without authorization, and set a precedent for interference in the internal affairs of neighboring prefectures and counties, and then created a fait accompli, which forced the empire to recognize its actual control over Jinzhou. At the same time, he began to make excuses. At the same time, he began to make excuses.

Resist the invasion of Luo Bei people and expand the army on a large scale, break the convention, and absorb the Gaoyue barbarians into the army in large quantities. When the rebellion occurred in the neighboring Guide and Bonan prefectures, he deliberately kept his troops and let the rebellion spread, forcing the empire to appoint him as the military and political governor of the northwest before sending troops to quell the rebellion. I think all this was his carefully planned behavior, including the death of the Jinzhou City Guard. I also think something was strange." He Zhiqiu was a little excited.

"Do you have evidence?" Situ Mingyue's face turned gloomy.

"No, things have changed, and soon Jinzhou was under his control. Even if he wanted to find any evidence, it would be impossible." He Zhiqiu shook his head and said.

"Continue talking." Situ Mingyue didn't want to continue to get entangled about this matter.

"Now that his wings are not yet fully full, he ignores the authority of the empire and sends troops to foreign countries without authorization. I do not want to explain the consequences of this matter, but his move has already begun with an extremely dangerous beginning. Now he serves as the military chief of the two regions, and his military power does not include the security forces. The regular army alone has nearly 150,000 troops. Although he cannot catch up with Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan in the south, looking at their development momentum, I believe that he will surpass the Lin Lang family in the near future." He Qiqiu's words were full of worries.

Situ Mingyue had no expression on her face and just nodded slightly.

"In addition, during his tenure as the military and political governor of the Northwest, Li Wufeng reached a peace agreement with Luo Beiren, released Luo Bei's captives, and colluded with Luo Beiren to threaten the Western Regions countries. He ignored the rebel Sun Yuanliang of Yinchuan Prefecture in the north, completely let down Your Majesty's hope when you appointed him as the military and political governor of the Northwest, and his heart could be killed." He Zhiqiu knew that Yinchuan was the eternal pain in His Majesty's heart, and he deliberately provoked this scar.

Sure enough, whenever Situ Mingyue mentioned Yinchuan Mansion, she couldn't help but snorted, and her face became even colder.

"I think that this situation must not be allowed to continue, but should take some measures to make up for it." He Zhizhi was very rare to strike while the iron was hot and made suggestions.

"But Li Wufeng won Northern Luzon for me, and even the treaty with the Grand Duchy of Luzon has been signed. This is a fact. How can I do the task of hiding the birds and hiding the bows, which makes the people and ministers in the world? Also, I have promoted him to the title and appointed him to serve as the governor of the Northern Luzon region. You have no jokes, you can't go back on your word, right?" Situ Mingyue frowned slightly and handed several newspapers on the imperial case to He Zhiqiu who was standing under the case. "He Aiqing, look, the major news media in this imperial capital have published the "Luzon Incident". The crowd was excited and praised with praise. The Zhongzhou Evening News has published my promotion to Li Wufeng and the appointment of him to serve as the governor of the Northern Luzon region of the Empire. What do you do if you ask me?"

He Zhiqiu took the newspaper and read two randomly. Almost every newspaper published the detailed process of the "Luzon Incident" on the front page. He also interviewed the person involved Li Wufeng and said he wanted to follow up. After reading these, He Zhiqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. This guy really knows how to make a name for himself. He has not yet met the saint, and the reports have already come out.
