Wu Kingdom, a certain palace in the imperial palace.
Yang Liuqing put a letter on the table and said: "Master, uncle and the others, they should arrive tomorrow."
Second Miss Liu put down the martial arts classics collected by the royal family of Wu Kingdom in her hand, got up and walked out of the palace.
Yang Liuqing watched her go out and sighed softly.
She walked outside the hall and said to Chen Qing who was standing there waiting: "The two senior uncles will arrive in the imperial capital tomorrow, please ask General Chen to welcome them for me."
Chen Qing hurriedly said: "No trouble, the last general hasn't seen His Royal Highness King Jing for a long time."
Chen Qing fought with Yang Liuqing from the chaotic land step by step, all the way to the imperial capital, and was one of the important ministers who assisted Yang Liuqing to ascend the throne.
His status is equivalent to that of the founding general, which is not the same as it was a few years ago.
Even if the envoys of Jing State or Qi State came, he didn't need to go out of the city to greet them in person, but this time it was different.
After receiving the order, he left in a hurry.
Tomorrow, when I go out of the city to meet King Jing, if I don't call Shang Weiliang, I'm afraid that he will never end with me in the future, and blind man Fan will have to call too. They have all been favored and taught by King Jing, and these etiquettes are justified.
Second Miss Liu returned to the hall, took the autumn water, and said to Yang Liuqing: "I'm going to leave for a while, although your state affairs are tiring, you should not neglect your martial arts training, it will be of great benefit to you."
Yang Liuqing nodded and said, "I know."
Not long after, the white-haired old man walked into the hall from outside, and asked suspiciously, "Why did your master leave?"
Yang Liuqing thought for a while and said, "Master, she... has some things to deal with."
Yang Wanli stopped asking about this matter, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the kid surnamed Li is coming?"
Yang Liuqing nodded and said, "Master will be here tomorrow."
"That's good..." Yang Wanli said with a smile on his face, "This kid has a lot of ideas, and he's full of bad ideas. Let him give you more ideas..."
…
Li Yi has seen the capital of Jing State, the capital of Qi State, and the capital of Wu State.
Excluding personal emotional factors, comparing the three, Qi's capital should be the most magnificent, at least from the outside.
Of course, on the whole, Kyoto is more prosperous.
The imperial city of Wu Kingdom is the most shabby of the three.
Along the way, Li Yi and Ruyi have learned more about Wu Guo.
After Wu Kingdom has experienced ten years of turmoil, it is a long-term thing to restore the country's roots, and it cannot be done overnight.
Yang Liuqing had just ascended the throne not long ago, everything in Wu Kingdom was in jeopardy, although she had a small book tailored for her, but nothing could be done overnight.
The Heavenly Punishment of the Wu Kingdom, after the civil war is over, the land of chaos will no longer be available.
Li Yi thought it was unnecessary before, but now he is afraid that he has to change the plan again.
Every few days, he will hear the news that Qi State has destroyed a small country in the west. With Qi State's current strength, it is only a matter of time before it sweeps the western countries. Of the masters, only Wu Guo and Jing Guo are left.
If Qi Guo really goes all out, Wu Guo may not be able to win under the circumstances of God's punishment.
If there is no punishment from heaven, then Zhao Guo is likely to be a lesson for them.
Of course, Jing Guo will not just watch Qi Guo annex all the countries. At that time, it will really be time to reshuffle the forces on this continent.
He and Ruyi entered the city gate, inquired about the location of the palace, and then walked in that direction.
Ruyi sighed lightly, and said: "Msanggong wrote that letter first, if Ruyi knew we were here, I'm afraid she would hide on purpose."
Of course Li Yi knew that Second Miss Liu would hide on purpose, but if she didn't figure it out, even if he and Ruyi appeared silently, she would still leave, and it would be more serious than her active hiding.
Li Yi smiled, took her hand, and said: "It's okay, we have nothing to do anyway, we will chase her wherever she hides, and she will come out naturally when she is tired of hiding, tired of hiding."
The imperial capital of Wu Kingdom is indeed shabby.
The road surface is full of potholes, sewage and garbage, even a second-tier city in Jingguo, let alone Kyoto, which has all been replaced with cement roads.
Even the main roads of those important cities in the Gyeonggi region of Qi State are paved with neatly cut bluestone slabs.
Of course, this was also Li Yi's own negligence.
Most of the records he gave to Yang Liuqing were revolutionary experiences, and he also covered a little bit about how to govern the country after winning the fruits of victory.
But there is no mention of these infrastructures.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A fine horse came galloping from behind, and pedestrians on the street dodged one after another.
Li Yi and Ruyi stood on the side of the street, watching the young man riding on the horse, and left laughing, frowning slightly.
In the capital of a country, on the main street, there are people galloping so recklessly, how did Yang Liuqing become the queen
He leaned over to help an old man who accidentally fell to the ground when he dodged just now, and couldn't help asking: "There are people galloping on the streets of the imperial capital, so the government doesn't care?"
The old man sighed and asked, "Is the young master from another place?"
Li Yi nodded.
"Your Majesty doesn't know something." The old man looked ahead and said, "The one who was riding on the horse just now was the young master of the Zhang family. Several members of the Zhang family are high officials in the court. , the Zhang family has helped His Majesty a lot, how dare the government take care of this kind of thing, even if it really kills someone, it will be in vain... "
The Majesty the old man spoke of was naturally Yang Liuqing.
When Yang Liuqing and the others attacked the imperial capital of the Wu Kingdom, they didn't actually expend too much energy, nor did they use Heaven's Punishment, it could even be said that it was effortless.
Because at that time, the original tyrant of the Wu Kingdom had already lost his morality, and the officials and dignitaries in the imperial city, as well as the major families, all wished to overthrow his tyranny.
When Yang Liuqing and the others arrived here, the gates of the imperial capital were wide open, and the common people lined up to welcome them. They took control of the imperial capital very easily.
But this is not the reason for her conniving with these families.
Or maybe she didn't know that these people were so arrogant in the imperial capital.
But no matter what the reason is, her little nephew still has a long way to go before becoming a qualified empress, and he still needs to be trained and trained.
There is no "tune".
…
"Mom, I want to eat candied haws."
On the streets of Huangdu, a little girl pointed to the hawker selling candied haws in the middle of the street, turned her head, looked at her mother, and begged.
The woman took out two coins from her bosom, handed them to her, and said, "There are only two coins left, go and ask how much a piece of candied haws is."
"En!" The little girl immediately showed a smile on her face, her eyes turned into crescent moons, ran to the middle of the street, spread her hands, showing the two coins in her hand, and said, "Brother, brother, I want a candied haws!"
The hawker who sells candied haws is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, holding a stick in his hand, and above the stick is a puffy haystack, on which is full of candied haws.
He looked at the two pennies in the little girl's hand, touched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "My candied haws, three pennies each..."
The little girl's eyes dimmed instantly, she said "oh", then turned and walked outside.
The boy stood in the yard, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Little sister, wait a moment."
He took a candied gourd from the haystack, handed it to her, and said, "Forget it, I'll sell you one for two fen, don't tell others, if I sell them all for two fen, I'll lose money!"
A smile appeared on the little girl's face immediately, she took the candied haws, nodded heavily, and said, "Thank you brother!"
The young man smiled, turned and left, and yelled: "Candied haws, candied haws, sweet and sour candied haws..."
The little girl stood in the middle of the street, licked a mouthful of candied haws, with a happy smile on her face.
"Get out of the way!"
On the street, the crowd dodged one after another, and a fast horse galloped from behind.
The woman looked at the little girl standing in the middle of the road, her face paled instantly, and she lost her voice: "Girl!"
The little girl raised her head and saw a big horse rushing towards her, her body trembled, and the candied haws in her hand fell to the ground.
boom!
An extremely dull voice suddenly sounded.
The fine horse fell to the ground, its head was broken, and there was no sound.
The young man on the horse flew straight out, and after landing, his body bent strangely, and he lay on the ground, howling miserably.
The boy selling candied haws looked at the scattered candied haws with a regretful expression on his face.
The candied haws were scattered all over the ground, and the haystack at the top of the stick flew out.
He tore off the gray cloth wrapped around the stick, and everyone saw clearly that it wasn't a wooden stick at all, but an iron stick as thick as a child's arm.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to smash the horse to death with one stick just now.
It's just that this young man is really powerful, such a thick iron rod seems to be weightless in his hands...
The little girl had recovered from the fright, looked at the boy in a daze, and murmured: "Brother, you are so powerful, as powerful as Sun Dasheng..."
The young man was taken aback when he heard the words, turned the iron rod in his hand, and said embarrassingly: "Is that so, in fact, many people say that..."
