Jiang Si looked at the big room that was lit with red candles. Although there were maids standing outside the room, she was still a little scared. She had been timid since she was a child. She had only done two great things in her life. The first was to assassinate someone with a dagger talisman. The second was probably to practice swordsmanship. As for becoming the first female emperor in the history of the Central Plains, she had no feelings about it. She thought about the word "home" for a long time. In the end, she was annoyed to find that in the depths of her heart, it was the dilapidated house that was so cold that it made people's teeth chatter every winter that was the most like home. At that time, every New Year's Eve, there would be a hateful guy of the same age who would follow behind the old man she was most afraid of. They would put up Spring Festival couplets openly. Once, the young man deliberately ran into her room and asked her with a smile if she wanted to hang Spring Festival couplets on both sides of her room. Of course, she said no, but she was unwilling to admit that she wanted to. The sound of firecrackers in the city became louder and louder. Jiang Si stood up and walked to the window. She knew that it was time for the new and the old to change.
Suddenly, there was a squeak behind her. Someone pushed the door open and entered. Jiang Si turned around with a smile. As expected, it was her uncle. She felt more at ease when she saw this kind elder.
Cao Changqing gently closed the door. The maids outside turned a blind eye to this man who was known as the proudest man in Da Chu. In fact, his position in the hearts of the people in Da Chu was not even comparable to the current emperor. Everyone in West Chu admired Cao Changqing from the bottom of their hearts.
Cao Changqing squatted beside the stove and put his hand on the charcoal fire to warm himself. Logically speaking, with the cultivation of the Land Immortal, this Confucian Sage was already immune to the cold and heat.
Jiang Si sat back on the stool and smiled brightly.
Cao Changqing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's almost the New Year. I should be here to announce the good news. However, there is something that I want to make clear to Your Majesty. Not long ago, I received news that many generals in Beiliang will gather in the meeting hall in the next few days."
The young empress was confused and asked, "Ah? They are going to pay New Year's greetings so early? "
Cao Zhangqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With a bit of sentimentality, he said, "According to my original expectations, if he wanted to dispatch troops to Guangling Road, Northern Mang wouldn't be able to stop him, because it wasn't appropriate to hastily dispatch troops down south. Liyang wouldn't be able to stop him even more, because the two of them were appointed as Jingan Road's Jingshu envoys, they were in the wrong. ................ but I have underestimated the cohesion of the Beiliang........... and I.......... but I..... it.... but. I.... Beiliang.............. but I..... it............ ........................ at..............................
. "Jiang Si lowered her head. She said softly," It's okay. I didn't expect him to come. "
Cao Changqing was silent for a long time. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, there is one thing you must remember. It's not that he doesn't want to come, but that he can't. Hsu Fengnian can't be blamed for this. "
Jiang Si looked at the fire in a daze. She did not say anything.
Cao Changqing smiled bitterly. "Originally, I planned to go north when Beiliang sent troops to Guangling. Now, I have to make other plans. "
Jiang Si, who was absent-minded, did not pay attention to the fact that Cao Changqing said "I" instead of leading the troops to the north.
Cao Zhangqing used a pair of pliers to poke at the charcoal fire. When the stove was slightly warmer, he said quietly, "I was wrong. Back then, I shouldn't have used the country's interests to force the Emperor to return here."
Jiang Si shook her head.
Cao Changqing suddenly showed an unprecedented anger. "Hsu Fengnian has never disappointed Beiliang. Why do you Beiliang have to do this?! What's the difference between you and me, Cao Changqing?! "
Jiang Si raised her head. She looked relieved. She smiled and took off the small gourd. She handed it to Cao Changqing. "Listen, Uncle Cao Changqing."
The white-haired Confucian scholar did not take the small gourd. Instead, he clenched his fists and closed his eyes in pain.
Outside the window, the New Year had just arrived. It was snowing heavily in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
Snow fell from the sky. The human world could not sing.

However, in Beiliang, Hsu Fengnian, Xu Weixiong, Chancellor Wang, and Bai Hu 'er.
Guangling's little clay figurine and Cao Changqing.
On this New Year's Eve, they seemed to have forgotten that Beiliang was never Liyang!
Therefore, the next scene was unforgettable for Jinbaolu.
Chancellor Wang was even more dumbstruck.
Chu Lushan took a step forward and turned around to face the main seat. He bowed his head and said loudly, "Whether the King of Beiliang leads the cavalry south or rushes to Guangling alone, I, Chu Lushan, will not agree!"
Yuan Zuozong also took a step forward. His action was exactly the same as Chu Lushan's. "If the king does not have me, Yuan Zuozong, by his side, of course, I will not agree!"
Yan Wenluan snorted coldly and took a large step forward. Still like this, he sneered, "Without the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry entering the Central Plains, how can we display the might of my Northern Liang army? How can I agree to this?"
Xu Beizhi said lazily, "The King of Beiliang has 300,000 cavalry. How can he lead the bullshit 'elites' from all over the country to the Central Plains? Beiliang can't afford to lose face like this. How can Xu Beizhi agree? "
Song Dongming immediately stepped out and cupped his fists. He laughed and said, "Everyone says that I, Song Dongming, am not worthy of the title of Deputy Administrator. That's fine. But is the Northern Liang Cavalry, whose combat power is the best in the world, also going to be looked down upon? Even if I am a scholar, I will not agree! "
Li Hanlin said loudly, "Brother Nian, you want to marry sister-in-law. How can the dowry be less? As your brother, I will not agree!"
Bai Yu was waiting for him to make the final decision. He smiled, "The Central Plains cannot tolerate a girl who grew up in the Xu family. Of course, the Beiliang cavalry will not agree! I believe that Liu Jinu, Wang Lingbao and the others will not agree either! "
Bai Yu pointed at the empty chair next to the young king, "Even if you, Hsu Fengnian, agree, the Great General will be the first to disagree!"
— —
Hsu Fengnian was at a loss.
Everyone laughed heartily at the same time.
Everyone colluded and acted until now. It was really hard to hold it in.
Xu Beizhi smiled brightly. He and Chu Lushan looked at each other and smiled. They were the initiators of this play.
Beiliang, 300,000 cavalry outside the pass, and millions of families inside the pass. They all owed the King of Beiliang a surprise!
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Fengnian raised his arm, wiped his eyes, and cursed softly, "Bastard."
At this moment, everyone said at the same time, "Great General, please sit down!"
Chancellor Wang looked at the hall full of civil and military officials. The old man sat on the threshold. He was so excited that his whole body trembled. He remembered the catchphrase of a young man and murmured, "Technical work, I can't reward you."
At that moment, whether it was fighting with Tuoba Bodhisattva for thousands of miles, or dismounting from his horse to fight against two people, or killing people in the Imperial Astronomer, Xu Fengnian had never been so heroic in his life. The young king waved his sleeve and took the lead to sit on the chair and said loudly, "Sit!"
