At this moment, the palace maids and the female soldiers of the Golden Phoenix Guards heard footsteps coming from the wooden stairs!
The footsteps were very clear and urgent.
Da da!
The palace maids and female soldiers who were standing still all looked at the stairs.
In their eyes, the empress, who was dressed in formal attire, was noble, beautiful, and full of dragon might. She ignored the support of the palace maids and quickly went downstairs.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was inconvenient to move around in formal attire, she would have taken two steps down the ladder at a time.
The eight palace maids behind him pulled the cloaks on both sides, preventing the long cloaks from dragging on the ground.
It was also to prevent the cloak from wrapping around the column head at the corner of the stairs and tripping the empress.
In short, he was still downstairs in this formal suit.
The empress was taking a huge risk of falling on her back!
They knew that the person who could make the empress like this must be the person whom they had also paid their attention to just now.
At this moment, Ye Qing, who had almost fallen because of the spring breeze, finally recovered after being helped out of the sedan chair by the servant girls and the butler.
Whoosh!
He took a deep breath and felt that he had recovered some of his strength.
"None of you are to help me."
"I can go up by myself."
Just like that, Ye Qing, who was only ten steps away from the first step, walked over with difficulty.
Seeing himself like this, Ye Qing wanted to laugh.
He had once worn armor that weighed dozens of kilograms, but these ninety-nine steps were as easy as walking on flat ground for him.
And now?
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
He didn't want to live to a hundred years old. He would rather live for ten days and do what he wanted to do.
Therefore, he had to go up and make the empress change her mind.
At this moment, Wu Zetian appeared on the 99th step.
Cough cough!
As the warm wind blew, Ye Qing not only felt a chill, but also smelled a familiar fragrance.
He raised his head and looked up at the fragrance.
At this moment, the distance between him and the empress was the ninety-nine steps.
He laughed!
Time flew like an arrow!
He was old, and the little girl had grown up!
He was the setting sun, and the empress was the rising sun. They would continue to lead the Han family to dominate the world!
Not only was he smiling because he had made the right choice, but he was also feeling gratified.
He was very gratified that the empress had received him in such a luxurious manner for the fifth time.
She was also very touched and blamed herself even more!
He felt that he was no longer worthy of her!
Because he was a cripple and could no longer contribute to the Han family that he loved so much!
With that thought, he gritted his teeth, frowned, and took another step forward.
Hah! Hah! Hah!
He breathed out in large mouthfuls, but he also had the feeling of a dying person who was breathing in but not breathing out.
Perhaps it was the strong perseverance that he had trained after years of marching and fighting, that prevented him from falling to the ground.
The empress looked at Ye Qing and instantly lowered her eyebrows and pouted.
As she looked at it, her nose turned sour and she bit her lips.
Her jade-like hands were naturally hanging down, and her fists were tightly clenched. Her fingernails were almost embedded into her delicate palms.
However, such pain could not offset the pain in his heart!
"At that time, you gave me a smile that made my heart beat for the rest of my life!”
"So that my gaze will forever melt into your back!”
“......”
At this moment, Wang Xiaojie saw the empress mumbling something.
In fact, she was singing a song silently in a voice that no one could hear.
It was because she was reminded of the past when she saw Ye Qing struggling to move forward.
The past after she ascended the throne!
Time returned to the second day after she ascended the throne.
At that time, the capital was still Chang 'an, and the main hall was still in the Great Ming Palace.
In the royal study!
The sixteen-year-old empress received Ye Qing, who had returned from Goguryeo in order to attend his coronation ceremony.
Hehe!
"Uncle, I haven't seen you in three years. You didn't expect it, did you?”
Ye Qing frowned and said seriously,""I didn't expect it."
"On the way, everyone was talking about you.”
"I don't think so. I said that we can't fight our own people just because of who's on the dragon throne.”
"Open your eyes wide and see if you are a wise ruler.”
"Yes, I respect you as the emperor!"
"No, it's easy for me to rebel against you!"
Wu Zetian smiled playfully and nodded,"It's like this. If you speak to zhen like this here, zhen can't do anything to you.”
Humph!
"It's good that you know!"
"Remember, in the eyes of the world, a woman declaring herself emperor is equivalent to defying the heavens.”
"Your path is very difficult. If you walk it well, you will leave your name behind and become a legend of your generation. If you don't walk well, you will die without a burial place and go down in history.”
"Also, don't call me uncle. I'm not familiar with you, so don't let others misunderstand.”
"I was personally conferred the title of Emperor Taizong, a third-grade champion general.”
"What is gratifying is that although you have taken the throne, you have sent Emperor Taizong to the Zhaoling Mausoleum in glory.”
"You didn't neglect his funeral because of what happened back then!”
"I've also investigated. Emperor Taizong has indeed died of old age!”
The corner of Wu Zetian's mouth curled up." The dead are the most important. I'm not that petty."”
"Now, it is my world."
Ye Qing smiled and immediately turned around." Wrong. The world belongs to the people of the world." The people of the world could make you the emperor, or they could make you die without a complete corpse.”
When Wu Zetian heard this, she was enlightened and immediately bowed."Thank you for your advice, Great General."
Ye Qing was shocked and nodded in satisfaction.
It looked like he had the bearing of a wise ruler.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. He turned around and was about to leave.
"Oh right, you didn't lead your troops to rebel against me. How should I thank you?”
Actually, she was thinking,'How should I thank you for your kindness back then?'
Ye Qing's back was facing her as he looked ahead and said,""If you have the courage and are not afraid of me rebelling, then continue to use me.”
"I want to live like the Great General Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty.”
"The Silk Road is not peaceful, and the number of merchants coming to the Great Tang has been decreasing year by year. This has seriously affected the economic development of the Great Tang and its status in the eyes of the world.”
"I want to walk the Silk Road once more. I want to make all the merchants from the various countries who come to the Great Tang to do business feel incomparably safe.”
"We must let them know that if they follow the footsteps of the Great Tang, they will have food to eat!”
Wu Zetian looked at his back and instantly felt extremely tall.
"Courage?" She smiled faintly.
"Zhen has never lacked!"
"Don't doubt the person you use, don't doubt the person you use!"
"I will immediately issue a decree to appoint you as a second-grade general and grant you the title of Duke of Wei.”
"He controls the Tiger Tally Commander Seal of the Great Tang and commands the soldiers of the ten provincial roads.”
Humph!
Then, she snorted coldly." Now that I have the courage, do you dare to take over this stall?"”
Ye Qing's eyes instantly lit up. He turned around and looked at the girl who was provoking him.
In his life, the thing he could not stand the most was provocation.
Humph!
He also snorted coldly, then cupped his fists and said,"I'll accept it!"
"Ten years, ten years, I will definitely do what I say.”
"I also hope that within ten years, your achievements will surpass Emperor Taizong's. Otherwise, your days will be difficult.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.
"At that time, you gave me a smile that made my heart beat for the rest of my life!”
"So that my gaze will forever melt into your back!”
“......”
Because he was happy, because he could still live like Wei Qing at fifty. Therefore, he sang as he walked.
He was singing this song, the interlude of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he had heard in his previous life,'Who will remember who after thousands of years'!
He watched as the fifty-year-old uncle bounced away and sang a song.
At that time, Wu Zetian laughed.
Later, she remembered the lyrics after listening to it once.
After careful consideration, she finally understood Ye Qing's heart and his lofty beliefs!
Cough cough!
As Ye Qing coughed, the empress returned to reality.
At this moment, Ye Qing, who had recovered some strength, gritted his teeth and stepped onto the first step!
