The princess of time travel is not stupid

Chapter 75

The imperial examination will start in June, and Xia Mi only needs to show up at the final imperial examination. Before that, she is finally free to meet Bai Ming. Who would have thought that she would be caught by Zhao Mama the moment she got up and asked someone to prepare a carriage to go out? Mammy stopped.

"Master, now that you are the emperor, how can you leave the palace so easily?" Mother Zhao persuaded, and when she heard the news that she was leaving the palace, the maids and eunuchs next to her knelt on the ground.

Well, now there is no freedom of entry and exit.

As a last resort, I had no choice but to give up.

The next day, Xia Mi sat high in the hall and saw them arguing about the Beizhou case. The noise echoed in the hall, and there was a lingering feeling in the hall. She was very annoyed, "Enough is enough." "Xia Mi scolded, seeing that they had restrained their arrogance just now, "Master Wu understands the Beizhou matter better, so let her leave it to her. As for the Mo Mansion matter..."

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Mo Mansion is equivalent to conspiring against us. Please also ask the Emperor to order the execution of those thieves in the Mo Mansion." Tai Fu Wanmin came out and said.

Xia Mi raised his eyebrows, "All, execute?"

"Exactly. Those are Mo Ya's confidantes, but they can't be taken away. I also ask the emperor to make an example to others, and don't let anyone go!"

Don't let anyone go?Heh, Xia Mi got up, walked down the steps, and walked slowly to her, "How about you sit on that chair, I, and listen to your command?"

The indifferent tone, but in June, it made people feel cold.Wan Min couldn't help trembling, feeling terrified for no reason, his back felt cold, and he knelt down in the hall neatly: "The emperor calms down, I just speak out, I..."

"Do you want to speak out, or take the opportunity to retaliate? Back then, I was bullied by your daughter Wansi and others in the restaurant. One of the people in my entourage is now implicated in the prisoner because of the Mofu incident. Who gave you the courage? Convicted after the trial? Who allowed you to cross me and intervene in this matter? You have to weigh your own weight in public revenge." Xia Mi flicked his sleeves, sat back again, and patted the table. An insider of the government, working for me, should be released without charge."

"Your Majesty, you can't!" Wan Min didn't give up, she remembered the incident with her daughter, but she couldn't miss this opportunity.

Wan Min burst into tears, but Xia Mi didn't appreciate it, she swore that she would never repeat her mother's tragedy again, to force her?Heh, so what if the throne is unstable?She doesn't even care.

"If the emperor is so obsessed with obsession, I... have no choice but to apologize with death and go underground to ask the late emperor to understand." Wan Min wiped his tears with a generous expression on his face.

Some people agree with it, some people oppose it, and it will never be the same.

Xia Mi watched them acting below, bored, not even interested in scolding them, took a sip of tea, flung his sleeves and left. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please stop." Xia Mi turned a deaf ear to this.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Mother Zhao made a cup of Pu'er for her, "Master, are you tired?" She asked someone to beat Xia Mi's legs, and Xia Mi, who was half leaning on the side of the collapse, squinted her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. "They want to force me to kill Bai Ming."

Zhao Momo paused for a moment holding the thin blanket, and quickly regained her composure to cover Xia Mi, "Master has just succeeded to the throne, and his foundation is not stable..."

"No matter how unstable it is, I will not trade her life for this ruthless country." Xia Mi said flatly, and opened her eyes, which were as clear as melting snow and never changed.

This, perhaps, is the difference between her and the first emperor.

Zhao Momo also wished in her heart that their fates were different, and said: "People's hearts are hard to come by. Since the master has made a decision, then the old slave is on the master's side."

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency in the south." Xia Zhong came in and handed over a letter.There was still blood on the letter, "Where is the person?"

Xia Zhong shook his head, "After you hand in the letter, you lose your breath."

"Call all the ministries immediately." After reading the letter, Xia Mi ordered, "Also, General Bai." Xia Zhong responded and strode out.

Xia Mi walked to the window, and before three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, the branches of the wind blown trembled, and a storm was coming.

Within a quarter of an hour, there was thunder and lightning, and heavy rain poured down.The rain splashed in and wet the skirts of the people standing in front of the window.Seeing this, Mother Zhao hurried over with a towel, "Master, be careful not to catch a cold." She said while wiping her clothes.

"Has anyone arrived?"

Zhao mama shook her head, and after a while, she heard the report from the palace servants, saying that she had arrived at the side hall.

Xia Mi turned and went out. "Xia Zhong, mobilize the forbidden army, it will be useful later."

"I don't know why you are so anxious?" Dong Qingyu walked slowly in the corridor. She really didn't want to come out on a rainy day, but unfortunately she was told to enter the palace just as she lay down to rest.The newly enthroned emperor is like a newly appointed official, who always likes to test his prestige with three fires.

It happened that Wu Cheng, who came after her, heard her words, and snorted coldly, "The emperor summoned me, is it possible that we can still score some days?"

Dong Qingyu gave her a squinting look, walked straight over, took off the coir raincoat outside the hall, entered the compartment outside the hall to tidy up her appearance, and then went in.

At a glance, all the people are here.

"The emperor is here—" Following the eunuch's yell, they knelt down to worship and saluted. Before Wanzai could say anything, they heard Xia Mi say first: "Stop saluting, and get down to business."

Everyone stood with their hands down and listened attentively.

Xia Mi handed the letter to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch handed it to everyone for circulation. They finished reading it in a short while, but the short page of the letter was shocking to those who read it. Everyone had different expressions, and the little Jiujiu in their hearts was also different. One and the same.Xia Mi first looked at Wu Cheng of the Ministry of War, "How many troops are deployed in Nanliang?"

"Less than [-]%." Wu Cheng said, the situation in the Ministry of War is not optimistic. There were defective products, inferior products, old and weak soldiers, etc., so she checked and counted one by one after taking over, and now she has a relatively good grasp of the situation in all aspects. accurate data.

However, Shangjing City is located in the north of Dacang, and the deployment of troops is obviously not enough to save the nearby fire. "Is there anyone around who can mobilize troops?"

"Originally, there were stationed in various places. Now that Nanliang invades, the border should be able to withstand it for a while. I'm afraid... There are many people fishing in troubled waters." Wu Cheng continued, explaining the local forces a little bit, if it is true If you want to mobilize troops, the best choice is to be close to the western region near Nanliang. However... Did Xiqi also hear the news of the late emperor's death and want to take the opportunity to make a fortune?

Xia Mi also thought about it quickly, and said following her words: "If you transfer from the west, how about transferring troops from Shangjing to the west?"

Wu Cheng was silent for a moment. It was feasible in theory, but in practice, no one could guarantee it.

"If this is the case, I am willing to go to fight against the soldiers of the Southern Liang." Bai Han said, "I will transfer the garrison outside the capital to accompany me, and I will rush to the west to transfer troops after leaving the South Gate. After that, the Beijing army should be able to catch up within three days. It won’t delay the west side.”

"It's just that logistical issues are the most taboo in marching soldiers..." Bai Han said lightly, knowing that the problem of food and grass should not be delayed.Xia Mi understands that although she has learned some theories before, she has watched a lot of TV dramas, and things like pig teammates pitting the front line abound.

"Hubu, how are you?" Xia Mi turned to look at Qian Qian.

"This..." Qian Qian hesitated, "When the late emperor was here, this..."

"Get to the point." Xia Mi interrupted her, "What I want is the result, not an excuse!"

Qian Qian swallowed, "The insurance can provide 90 grain and 80 horse grass." She didn't dare to look up at Xia Mi, so she had to lower her head.

"Is it enough?" Xia Mi asked Bai Han.

Bai Han glared at Qian Qian, "It's almost the same. It's just...does the Ministry of Households have enough food in stock? What if there is another emergency at the border from the north?"

Before Xia Mi supervised the country, she had dealt with the account books. Knowing that the household department’s food storage would not be limited to this amount, she half-squinted her eyes and looked at Qian Qian. put your head down.

"It's easy to take other people's things on weekdays, and I won't stop in times of crisis." Xia Mi stroked the jade wrench finger in his hand, and said softly, "When the border is in an emergency, whoever dares to reach out, I don't mind taking her first." The knife is used to quarter the body or cut it into pieces, and some of them are tortured.”

She glanced at Qian Qian again, and just as she was about to call her name, Xia Zhong came in again with an ugly expression on his face, "Your Majesty..." There were two guards behind her supporting a seriously injured person, "Chuan Imperial Doctor " Xia Mi instantly put the matter of Qian Qian behind her, and strode over, the man looked at Xia Mi with a dying look, "Northern Qi...invasion, it is like entering a place...with no one in it." The hand on Xia Mi's sleeve hangs down stiffly, his eyes are wide open, as if he is dying.

It's like entering the land of no one! ?Heh, there will be defensive subordinates at the border, who leaked the secret?Thinking of what Wu Cheng said before, the prefect of Beizhou evolved from a branch of the Dong family in the north, and the way she looked at Dong Qingyu could kill people.

Bai Han suddenly felt that what he said just now was like a crow's mouth. He said that it was not good to say that the enemy in the north was really here now.

Xia Mi closed the man's eyes, stood up slowly, raised his head and looked at Dong Qingyu indifferently, "Xia Zhong."

"exist."

"Dong Qingyu from the Ministry of Rites assisted the third princess Xia Qian. She was a rebel, colluded with the Northern Qi Dynasty, and sent them to the prison together. She was not allowed to investigate without my order. Then go and arrest Xia Qian." After Xia Mi finished speaking, Xia Zhong was stunned for a moment, but still made people Take Dong Qingyu down.

"You...you have no evidence, why arrest me? I have a gold medal from the late emperor, who dares to touch me?" Dong Qingyu struggled to rush forward, but was gagged.

"No evidence, no evidence?" Xia Mi sneered, "Cao Deyan, the prefect of Beizhou, descended from a branch of the Dong family in the Northern Territory. He was expelled from the family tree and changed his father's surname to Cao. Want evidence? Xia Qian's letter with you, your letter with Cao Deyan Letters are evidence." With so many hidden guards, it would be a pity not to use them.

"Gold medal for avoiding death?" Xia Mi took a step forward, "Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, how dare you take the place of the late emperor? When the matter is over, I will let you look at the tablet of the late emperor and die."

Originally, he wanted to follow the procedure and set the matter of Beizhou to the bottom, but who knew that such an incident would happen, Xia Mi simply let everyone tear their face together. Anyway, Dong Qingyu was in the palace, so he could save himself from going out and arresting him.She also just got those letters, who would have thought that they would collide with the Northern Qi march, wouldn't they just happen to be used together?

Xia Mi waved his hand and asked Xia Zhong to take him away, "Qian Qian, is the household department's food and grass enough to resist the northern border?" He suddenly changed his tune and asked her.

Qian Qian pinched her hands and felt that her back was soaking wet. Now she still has to say it's not enough, can she do it? "If there are too many... Northern Territory... troops..."

"I remember when I was still a concubine, I checked the records of the household department, and the figure of more than 800 million, could it be that you have eaten it all?"

Qian Qian plopped on the ground, "Your majesty...the number..." Is it false?Say it's wrong?The one who suffers is himself, but there is indeed no 800 million grain in the granary, and it is only 500 million at most. "Your Majesty, although the granary is sufficient, it is necessary to store grain, so at most 80 can be allocated."

"How do you see it?"

Bai Han, "Northern Qi has just experienced the transition from the old to the new. It's not surprising according to the original national strength. I think it's just taking advantage of Nanliang's crimes to get a piece of the pie. Although I don't know the actual situation, 80 should be enough in the early stage. Right now , the question of who is going to be the commander in the north."

"I am willing to go." Wu Chengma reconsidered.

"Lord Wu is the minister of the Ministry of War, how can he leave at will, if you can't make a quick decision in the later stage, you have to preside over it, it's not appropriate."

"Unfortunately, Duke Qing is old, otherwise she would be a good candidate."

"If you talk about leading troops to fight, who can compare to Yu Muyan, the ever-victorious general, she..." Fang Min was talking happily when he was suddenly bumped by Zhao Yuan. He immediately realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and looked at Xia Mi nervously. , but saw that she didn't respond, so he stopped talking and didn't explain.

"Yu Muyan?" Xia Mi read it again, "Who is it? Why have I never heard of it?"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. In the end, Fang Min said, "Duke Qianding."

"That's my father's and queen's family." Xia Mi only heard that her father seemed to be a very talented young man, but he didn't expect that he was from the general family.She sat back on the chair, listening to everyone's opinions with one ear but not the other, thinking carefully that her grandfather must be quite old.

He calmly sipped his tea, looked outside the palace, and hooked his fingers at the little maid, "Go and see, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Not long after the little maid went out.Bai Ming was brought in.Yue Yu didn't see her, and her longing was like a yellow river, flooding her whole body at the touch of a touch. Xia Mi, who was sitting on the chair, was holding the arm of the chair tightly, and she felt cautious about her breathing, for fear of sweeping that person away.

Bai Han raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Ming, but said nothing.

Those who had been arguing all of a sudden quieted down, and silently looked at the person who was brought up. Prime Minister Liu even glanced at Bai Han, and then stood there pretending to be serious.

Xia Mi wanted to call her up, but she opened her mouth and did not make a sound.After a long while, Mother Zhao coughed dryly twice before Xia Mi shouted, "Get up." There was still a tremor in that voice, Bai Ming stood up, looked at her, and nodded without showing any signs.She felt that fortunately she took a shower before she came, otherwise Xia Mi saw it, and she didn't know what it would be like.

The lightning outside the house tore through the dark sky, and the thunder that resounded through the sky pulled Xia Mi's mind back.

She said: "Zhen, I want to send Bai Ming to the north." As soon as the words fell, it seemed like a pot had exploded in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, leading troops to war is a major event, how can it be a joke?" Apart from Dong Qingyu, basically no one stood up to Xia Qian. I don't understand, is she looking for death in such a hurry to hit the muzzle of the gun?

Could it be that he didn't understand clearly enough to protect Baiming?

"Bai Ming is the successor of General Bai, and came from the general family. Could it be that you are questioning General Bai's family tradition?" Xia Mi said nonsense with a serious face.She just looked at Baiming, "Baiming, can you do it?"

"It can be done." Bai Ming responded very readily.

Unexpectedly, it was Bai Han who snorted coldly, "Ignorant child, do you think that war is just playing tricks? It means that thousands of people put their lives in your hands. It is likely that because of your decision, countless families Fragmented, do you think you can understand after reading two military books?"

But, the last sentence, why does it sound like you are referring to Sang and scolding Huai?Xia Mi touched the tip of her nose, she was the emperor, she naturally wanted to consider those soldiers, so the original intention of entrusting these people to Baiming was indeed to let Baiming come out in a legitimate way.

But...Xia Mi straightened her spine and looked at Bai Han, "Bai Ming has to be taught by the teacher in the study room. Maybe she is not very outstanding in cultural subjects, but in art of war, she is definitely the best. The late emperor once Praise her, why can't she? General Bai was not born to fight."

"I trust her." Xia Mi said loudly, "That's why I entrusted her with the affairs of the northern border."

Liu Siyu said: "I'm afraid that's the only way to do it now, but General Bai's lieutenants are mostly capable people, so why bother to send two of them to bring some white tea?"

Xia Mi nodded, "Yun."

Finally, it was decided to organize the troops, food and grass tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow.By the time the crowd dispersed, it was already night.

"Let's all go down." Xia Mi restrained her excitement and ordered the maid without showing any signs of emotion.Nanny Zhao also went out together, "Master, can I have some food?"

"Call later."

After the people left, Xia Mi came to Baiming in two or three steps, held her face and looked at it again and again, making Baiming dumbfounded, then hugged her tightly, said countless words, but finally only said A sentence came out: "I miss you so much, I finally see you."

Feeling the beating hearts between each other, Xia Mi was sure that she was really in his arms at this moment.I don't want to do anything, I just want to hug her, and it's best to grow old forever.

Bai Ming raised his hand to hug her back, forgetting how long he hadn't felt her warmth.In the dark and damp dungeon, every moment feels like a year, and only when I think of those years together, I feel that time passes a little faster.Although he was not tortured, he suffered psychologically.

She was so scared, if she was not careful, she would never see Xia Mi again.

Fortunately, she waited for her.

After a long time, Xia Mi reluctantly let go of her hand, pulled Bai Ming to sit on the couch, and when Bai Ming was still hesitating, he forcibly pressed her shoulder to sit down, "Could it be that you want to have a relationship with me too?" ?”

"No, it's just... you now..."

"Don't say it, it's only you and me now." Xia Mi cut off her words, and held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go. Thousands of words finally turned into a gentle kiss, which was printed on Baiming's face. Mouth.Xia Mi put his forehead against hers, and stretched out his hand to slowly touch her face.

"I will not repeat the mistakes of the empress."

Bai Ming hummed.

The atmosphere was just right, Xia Mi looked at her face, and gently moved towards her, but she didn't expect her stomach to growl suddenly, and Bai Ming suddenly smiled.

Xia Mi scratched her cheeks in embarrassment, and then smiled, "You have strength when you are full, it's because I wasn't thoughtful enough."

Bai Ming turned her head away.

"Come here, prepare the meal." Xia Mi called, but Bai Ming quickly let go of her hand and wanted to stand up. The sudden empty hand made Xia Mi feel a little distressed, both for Bai Ming's sensibleness, and for their love .This road is not easy to walk.

Xia Mi stood up, walked behind Bai Ming, hugged her, and put her head on her neck. It had been a long time since she felt so at ease. Even though the person in her arms struggled, Xia Mi did not intend to let go, and hugged her even more tightly. Tighten up, "White tea, white tea..."

He called into her ear over and over again.

After a while, the maids came in one by one, and Bai Ming quickly came out of her arms. Fortunately, those people usually don't look directly at them, and they all lower their heads slightly, so they can't see very clearly. Wanbu said that if he was really seen, he didn't dare to say anything.

Dare to tell about the matter of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it must be a dislike for fate.

The few people who went out were all warned by Mother Zhao face to face, and they didn't dare to say more.Zhao mama saw that they were quite sensible, so she let them go.She couldn't help but glanced into the room, full of worry.

I thought...it was the late Princess Chun, but I didn't expect it to be a woman, and Bai Ming grew up together.It's no wonder that the master doesn't want to touch others anymore.But, but... Zhao Mama's heart is a little confused, isn't this walking the old path of the late emperor again?How would he deal with himself when he wanted to kill Bai Ming?

"You sit down too. I've said it all, don't have sex with me." Xia Mi pulled Bai Ming to sit beside her, and personally brought her food, just like in the past.

After eating two chopsticks, Bai Ming turned to look at her, "Your Majesty..."

Xia Mi raised her eyebrows: "What?"

"Ami." Bai Ming changed her tune.

Only then was Xia Mi satisfied, "Yeah."

Bai Ming laughed, "I... I'm worried about going to the northern border, and I wasted all your hard work."

"Don't worry, you can do your best, not to mention I believe in your strength, and with your mother's capable lieutenants, it shouldn't be a problem." Xia Mi put another piece of meat for her and put it in her bowl, "Besides, The strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty is not strong, when Qi Yan went back, after going through the toss of the border towns, they were in civil turmoil, this time they should join forces with Nanliang to unify the time to attack."

Speaking of Nanliang, Bai Ming lowered his head, "I'm sorry."

"Why do you say that?" Xia Mi looked at her incomprehensibly.

"If I had found out earlier, she wouldn't have..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Xia Mi stretched out his hand and touched her head, "Your heart is on me, so she will hide it." Even Bai Ming could hear the pride in her words, but Bai Ming Ming didn't say anything else, she took Xia Mi's hand behind her back and nodded emphatically.

Even so, she will be her pride in the battle in the northern border.

After eating, Xia Mi pulled Baiming to write big characters, as if she was still in the palace. This was something they did after dinner. For a moment, Baiming thought she had never left.

It wasn't until Xixi Suosuo's kiss fell that Baiming really felt the existence of time.Stretching out his arms to hug Xia Mi, he could feel her breath, which was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

When the sun came in the next day, Bai Ming suddenly woke up. She was sleeping on the imperial couch in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the people around her were gone, so she got up quickly.

The palace maid heard the noise and came in with hot water to wash her up, without saying a word.

"Girl, please eat."

Bai Ming thought for a while, "Your Majesty...do you have anything else to say?"

"The emperor ordered that after the girl sleeps until she wakes up naturally, she must have a meal first, and then let the girl do her own thing, as long as she can see the girl when she comes back from court." The little maid replied.

In order not to cause trouble, Bai Ming would naturally not leave the house, and read a book to pass the time after eating and waiting for Xia Mi to come back.
