Chang'an City had just experienced a rare blizzard. The eaves and brackets of Weiyang Palace were covered with a thick layer of white ice. The eunuchs of the palace were busy cleaning up the snow everywhere in the palace, and the court officials were waiting for the convening of the court meeting in the cold wind.

"Your Majesty occasionally feels cold, and today's court meeting is cancelled. Please go back to the office of the yamen."

Qiandu stood at the door of the Xuan room and shouted the imperial edict.

A flies-like buzzing sounded, and the courtiers whispered to guess the mystery behind the emperor's illness. When they wanted to go to Qiandu to ask, they found that Qiandu had quietly disappeared from the door of the Xuan room.

Liu Qi was really sick. His body was very tired after working hard for several days. Yesterday, he drank some Hehua wine and was lucky to two beautiful women from the Jiangnan whom Princess Guantao presented him. He said that he felt the wind and cold occasionally, but he was actually tired.

"Your Majesty, all the officials have dispersed. The Duke recommended Prime Minister Zhou and Marquis of Wei to come and ask for peace."

In Chengming Palace, Qiandu bowed his body to report to Liu Qi.

"Summon Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying in." Liu Qi ordered in a hoarse voice.

"I heard that Your Majesty, the Holy Majesty, rejected the Lord and the Lord Wei Qihou, and asked him for the Holy Holy."

Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying stood not far from Zhushan, bowed and greeted Liu Qi.

A prime minister who has no real power and a grand tutor who has been dismissed from office still has such great energy. He was pushed out by the court officials to greet him. It seems that he is really a centipede who dies without being stiff.

"Don't let it go, just sit there."

Liu Qi's hoarse voice sounded from the bed with gauze curtains.

"I always feel something is wrong. I haven't received an urgent report from the eastern Shenmu along Yulin in the morning for many days. However, Lingwu has issued an urgent document a day. You are all people who have let the horse go. Tell me, should I send some people to support Lingwu? I just let the lieutenant of the garrison bring three thousand people, I am afraid that Lingwu will make any mistakes."

Liu Qi expressed his worries, and the Great Wall defense line was like a long snake. As long as it was broken, it would be the end of a complete defeat. Those who did not understand military understood this, but the two people who had been generals to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kings did not agree to send reinforcements. This aroused Liu Qi's alertness.

"Your Majesty, looking at the Xiongnu's border siege this time, the Han army has been competing for control of Hetao. Liancheng's method seems to have been seen through by the Huns. They know that as long as the Great Wall is used to circle the Hetao, no matter how mobile the Huns' cavalry has, they can only be trapped and killed in it.

The place where we built the Great Wall in the early days was on the Eastern Front. The Huns were cavalry, Han Army and infantry. In terms of mobility, our Han Army was far from the opponent of the Huns, and the distance between the Huns was far lower than that of ours. We drew a large army to support the Western Front. If the Huns returned to the Eastern Front, then our army would have to work hard and run around, which would have a great blow to the morale of the army.

My subordinates think that Lingwu Pass is majestic and there are also elite troops from Lintong Hou garrison. They can send three thousand troops to the front."

Zhou Yafu, who has always been unfamiliar with speaking, putting facts and reasoning. Thousands of words turned into one sentence. It was enough to send three thousand troops similar to farmers to station troops.

"I'm going to discuss it."

Dou Ying insisted on his usual style and observed more and spoke less. However, the thick gauze curtain was blocking it, and he could not observe it even if he wanted to.

"Since that's the case, let's watch it for another two days. If you have any problems in the court these days, you should worry more about it. The military newspapers on the front line do not have to pass through the Taiwei Mansion, but are sent directly to Chengming Palace. I want to watch it myself."

"The military report is complicated, and Your Majesty is sick and uncomfortable to work like this..."

"Okay, the great man's country belongs to me. If I don't worry about this, who will fuck me? Is it you Zhou Yafu or Dou Ying?"

Liu Qi's tone was already quite rude, which made Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying feel scared. Only when they dared to worry about the emperor was worried. Only one person dared to have this intention was to rebel. This was the charge of death of the whole family, and even if there were a few people who dared to recite it, they would not dare to recite it.

"I am afraid, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

The two brothers are very sensible and do not insist on apologizing very respectfully.

"Forget it, you guys go down. Even if you do your job well, you will be loyal to the country and me."

"promise"

Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying looked at each other and retreated.

Liu Qi leaned on the bed, his eyes shining brightly under the reflection of candlelight. Yun Xiao's urgent documents a day made him anxious, but it seemed to make sense after hearing Zhou Yafu's words. He had no military experience, but they had led soldiers at least, so they would not fight for the welfare of the country and the people.

"Father, are you getting better?"

The gauze curtain was lifted, and a graceful figure walked into Liu Qi's bed.

"Oh, it's Nangong. Why are you here?"

"When my father is sick, my daughter should naturally accompany me to taste medicine and eat. Could it be that my father doesn't like Nangong and won't he chase Nangong away?"

Nangong sat down beside Liu Qi's bed, pulled Liu Qi's arm and acted invincible and coquettish **.

"Why is my father unwilling to do it? My Nangong has become sensible when he grows up. OK, very good. If the princesses have the same heart as you, I will not have any love for you."

"Father, my daughter has helped you decoct the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. You should drink it while it's hot."

Nangong took the medicine handed over by the maid, took a sip and handed it to Liu Qi.

"Hey, I originally wanted to find someone for you. I didn't expect it to be like that. The rules in the palace are very good. When my father recovers from illness, I will find you a good prince consort."

Liu Qi caressed Nangong Rousun’s shiny black hair lovingly, looking as if he was satisfied with his father.

"My daughter is not in a hurry to get married, and she wants to serve her father for a few more years. The imperial physician said that after drinking this medicine, she will sweat. My daughter covers you with some so that she won't catch a cold again. She sweats all over today and will be cured tomorrow."

Nangong diligently tucked the corner of Liu Qi's quilt, while helping to take out the miscellaneous items on Liu Qi's bed.

A lacquerware box that was one foot square was taken out by Nangong, turned around and placed it on the imperial desk.

Liu Qi's eyes moved with the lacquer box that Nangong was holding. He slapped helplessly, and turned over and lay down inward.

The imperial doctor's medicine was very effective, and soon Liu Qi snored slightly. Seeing that Liu Qi was asleep, Nangong waved over Qiandu.

"Your Majesty, you're asleep. Don't have so many people here to serve you, so as not to make a sound to disturb Your Majesty's rest. Let the irrelevant people wait outside, I'll serve you here."

"this……"

Qiandu looked at Nangong with some embarrassment.

"I am Your Majesty's biological daughter. Will I still harm my father? Go back quickly?"

Nangong is one of the famous princesses in the palace who is favored by Liu Qi. When she started to exert her majesty, the eunuchs were really afraid. Qiandu glanced at Liu Qi on the couch and waved his hand, and led the eunuchs and palace servants to retreat.

As soon as the palace servant and the eunuch came out of the inner room, Nangong rushed to the imperial desk like a fox. He glanced at Liu Qi on the couch and gently opened the lacquerware box.

Inside the box was a very large piece of red silk cloth, and a row of keys were neatly hung on the pearls adorned on the silk cloth.

Nangong hesitated a little, picked up a key and looked at it, and then picked up another one. He didn't know which key was the key to open the corner cabinet. In a hurry, he simply picked up the paint box and ran to the bottom of the cabinet to try handfuls.

Liu Qi, who was lying on the bed, looked at it with such a big lock and just looking for the biggest key. He was such a stupid girl. It seemed that he still had no experience in stealing things. He waved his hand to stop Qiandu behind the pillar, and Liu Qi, who was lying on the bed, continued to watch the show.

The sound of the "crack" clamping spring sounded, and it seemed that this girl had finally found the key.

Seeing that the lock was opened, Nangong cheered in a low voice. He was so happy that he seemed to be a rabbit who had just stolen carrots, but when she opened the cabinet door, she was stunned.

There were all kinds of tiger talismans hanging in front of me. Which of the many tiger talismans was the tiger talisman that mobilized Yulin? My uncle and my mother didn't tell me that Nangong was sweating in his head. Under the candlelight, he was covered with bright and fine sweat beads on his forehead.

Liu Qi wanted to laugh a little, but he couldn't laugh. The girl was outgoing and actually stole the tiger talisman of her father for the sake of her lover. Her daughter was too old to stay. It seems that the empress dowager's words still make sense.

The tiger talisman is not a key, it can be paired one by one. There is only half of it hanging here, and the other half is in the hands of the leading generals. Nangong began to look at these tiger talismans one by one, hoping to find some clues.

The Tiger Talisman was widely used in the Warring States Period. One of the most famous allusions in the war between Qin and Zhao was to steal the talisman to save Zhao. The generals who led the troops could only mobilize their troops after receiving the talisman. Otherwise, it would be considered a ban on dispatching troops, and in terms of military law, it would be a loss of heads. Furthermore, the Yulin Guards were the emperor's personal army, and Wei Wan could not mobilize his five thousand Yulins without seeing the Tiger Talisman.

Of course, Wei Wan would not be willing to lose her head just because of saving Yun Xiao, so the Han version of the talisman stealing and saving Yun was staged. However, Wang Shi and Tian Fu ignored a problem at the same time, that is, there were more than one tiger talisman. The emperor had many tiger talismans in his hand, so many of them even specially created a nanmu cabinet to install.

The poor Nangong couldn't understand which tiger talisman was used to mobilize Yulin.

Nangong jumped so hard that he was oozing his nose with fine sweat beads. Liu Qi couldn't bear it and wanted to get out of bed to find her several times.

Finally, when he was checking a tiger talisman, Nangong found a word feather on the tiger talisman. Nangong was very happy. According to his uncle, the other half of the tiger talisman was in Wei Wan's hands, and there must be a forest on the half. This must be the tiger talisman that mobilized the Yulin.

Nangong was delighted and turned around and looked at his father timidly. Liu Qi hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, afraid that Nangong would find something, which would scare the girl to death.
