Huining Mansion in Beijing has been frozen for thousands of miles, but the Qianyuan Hall of the Imperial Palace is as warm as spring under the heat of the earth.
An old Goryeo eunuch was passing through the palace in a hurry.
He suddenly stopped as if he had encountered a ghost, probably because he vaguely heard a sound in his ears that the old eunuch was no longer familiar with.
It was a mixture of a woman's moans, a man's heavy breathing, and slight clapping.
There was a trace of a wretched smile on his face, and he thought to himself: This must be one of the guards having an affair with the palace maid, and we will catch him and get the handle.
Then she and I were at the mercy of our family, so he tiptoed to find the source of the sound.
Wait until the old eunuch is near.
A female voice came: "Oh, my dear, why have you been playing for so long without finishing it?"
When the old lady heard this, she was so frightened that she almost flew out of her head.
Because the woman's voice is none other than the current Queen Pei Manshi, but she still doesn't know who the man is.
A male voice answered: "Why are you in a hurry?
Don't rush me.
Why don't you want to do it anymore?
If you don't want to, just say it.
I won't come next time."
As he said this, the sound became louder and more urgent.
The old eunuch thought the voice was familiar, and it should belong to a certain prince or minister.
But there were so many princes and ministers, but he couldn't remember which one they were.
Pei Manshi in the room panicked when she heard the man's words.
She quickly said in a soft and soft tone, intermittently between breaths: "I don't want to think about it.
This is the front palace, not as good as my back palace.
Come and go."
If there are many people, it will be ruined if someone bumps into you."
The movement in the room suddenly stopped at this moment.
The Korean eunuch happened to feel itchy behind his nasal cavity at this time.
He couldn't help it and covered his nose with both hands.
He sneezed muffledly.
The chatter that had just begun in the room suddenly stopped.
The Korean eunuch hurriedly ran away quietly, thinking that he would take advantage of the other party's opportunity to get dressed and escape in time.
But before he could take two steps, a pair of big hands wrapped around his neck and covered his mouth.
Then with a scream, his neck was twisted.
The moment the old eunuch's head was twisted to a 120-degree angle, the bright face of King Hailing came into his dying sight.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Manshi, whose face was flushed, also went out of the house.
Seeing this, her eyes twisted slightly and she said, "It turns out it was this old guy who scared me half to death."
After that, she smiled again and said, "Fortunately, we were wise just now and didn't take off our clothes and walked standing."
That's a happy thing, otherwise this old guy will definitely get away now, and we will be in trouble. " "How to dispose of this old guy's body?"
Wan Yanliang asked.
"It's okay, just leave it here, saying that the Holy Spirit accidentally killed him after he was drunk.
Anyway, the damn guy was confused after drinking.
When he woke up, he didn't know how many people he killed in his drunken dream and who he killed."
Pei Manshi Said not caring.
After saying this, Pei Manshi took Wan Yanliang's hand and said reluctantly: "Lang Jun, you are going to the south this time and I don't know when you will return.
I have to live like a year again."
Wanyan Liang chuckled and said: "This time I went to the south not only to fight against the Han and protect our country, but also for a larger goal.
If I succeed, I can stay with you forever, and there is no need to be so sneaky.

Happy."
In the twelfth lunar month of the second year of the Yue Dynasty of the Han Empire, the snow-covered plains of Huining Prefecture, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, stretched all the way to Bianliang City, three thousand miles away, where there was also heavy snowfall.
Yue Fei, who had just returned from Lin'an in the south, was sitting in the study room of Chui Gong Hall, where two charcoal stoves were burning and as warm as spring, reviewing memorials.
The young and beautiful Queen Liu was making tea for him.
Zhao Huanhuan waved her pen and ink from time to time to write down the drafts of Yue Fei's oral edicts.
This time Yue Fei brought back Concubine Liu who had been canonized as queen from the south.
There were also many officials from the Lin'an court.
Although there is no official edict yet, it seems that the capital has been moved from Lin'an to Bianliang.
The reason why he did this was that the Central Plains region was basically stable, and there was no trace of Jin soldiers west of Tongguan and south of the Yellow River.
According to Tan Ma's inquiries, although the Hebei Jin soldiers were on heightened alert and all cities were mobilizing troops to prepare for war, there was no sign of gathering troops to move south.
More importantly, Yue Fei also brought back 30,000 newly-generated Guards troops on Chongming Island, including 5,000 winged cavalry, 1,000 plate-armored heavy cavalry, 2,000 longbowmen, 2,000 crossbowmen, musketeers and There are eight thousand spearmen each, and two thousand soldiers on the back.
This kind of force is enough to act as a stabilizing force in the newly recovered Central Plains.
"Your Majesty, we have military intelligence coming from Shandong."
Outside, a palace edict from the chamberlain was reported through the curtain.
"Submit."
Yue Fei opened the military intelligence report and read it carefully.
After reading it, I couldn’t help stroking my hands and saying, “Okay.”
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?
You're so surprised."
Queen Liu asked softly.
"The vanguard of Zhang Xian's troops who invaded Shandong has now reached the seaside of Laizhou.
He expects to recover all of Shandong before New Year's Eve.
As I expected, he is invincible along the way, and all the states and counties along the way are defeated.
A few few With the cooperation of Zhang Bao's loyal army, the resisting counties were defeated in just a few battles
.
"
"Then your Majesty can continue to advance northward and attack Hebei next year," Zhao Huanhuan said with great expectation.
"Yes, Liang Xing and the others are well prepared.
The loyal army of the Eighteen Villages in the Taihang Mountains will attack all parties of the Jin army in Hebei.
Just wait for the ice and snow to melt in the coming year, and our army will continue to advance north.
The only thing I am worried about now is The pseudo-Qin in the west, he They have now begun the Northern Expedition to attack Shaanxi occupied by the Jin soldiers.
I am worried that they will seriously threaten the rear left wing of our Han army in the future, so I still need to remove the two nails of Jingzhao Mansion and Tongguan before the Northern Expedition to Hebei and Hedong. ” Yue Fei seemed to be afraid that Zhao Huanhuan would be lost, so he said comfortingly: "I have ordered Yue Yun and Yao Zhen to capture these two places.
They will capture Jingzhao Mansion by surprise before the ice and snow melt.
It will not affect the main force of the Han army.
Progress of the Northern Expedition.”
To the west of Luoyang, on the white snowfield, a group of about 5,000 people were meandering westward.
They were the troops of Yue Yun and Yao Zhen who went to attack Tongguan and Jingzhao.
These five thousand people were all issued with full winter clothing, and in addition each person also carried a small pot of strong liquor.
Originally, the Han army was strictly prohibited from drinking alcohol during war, but this time it was specifically approved by Yue Fei.
So even though it was freezing cold, it had no impact on them at all.
They passed many small villages along the way.
The villagers were initially panicked, but after learning that they were Han troops, they calmed down and offered them wine and meat to entertain them.
Naturally, they were declined politely.
New Year's Eve is approaching, and it is difficult for these villagers to live a stable and prosperous New Year.
The government exempted this year's grain tax, and each household received a share of grain and livestock and poultry meat from the liquidated Jurchen noble landowners.

More importantly, the abducted young men not only voluntarily stayed in the military camp to seek a future, but also earned money.
All the soldiers and soldiers returned home.
"We've arrived."
Yue Yun, who was in the military column, uttered two words and stood up in the wind and snow.
A towering Guancheng loomed in the distance.
That is Tongguan, the most powerful pass in the world
