159.The Concubine of Bao Xi Falls Over the World (24)
Watch out for Rongdi!
Mrs. Jiang conveyed this to Bao Xi as it was. Bao Xi asked once about the origin of this sentence, and Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed, so she stopped asking. She just needs to know that the other party can be trusted.
Bao Xi quietly passed on this concern to him in her interaction with King Zhou.
Thinking of the fact that Shenhou may have reached an agreement with Rong Di last time, and the fake military exploits he established, if Rong Di's defeat was an illusion, then the fact that they lost 300,000 main forces would be fake. King Zhou secretly strengthened the armament on the border with Rong Di.
Zhi'er's marriage has been finalized, and Mrs. Jiang said that she will be arranged to marry after the Shenhou rebellion is settled. Although it is not the main room, Ji Bing's wife passed away, leaving behind a child, and she will be a mother as soon as she passes. But she is a palace maid, she can marry the son of the Ji family, and she has the support of Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. De behind her, and she will not be wronged in the future, which is a very good destination. What's more, Ji Bing's son also loves her very much. Zhi'er is very satisfied.
Because of this relationship, Bao Xi handed over all the contact with the Ji family to her.
"Zhi'er, you call your son into the palace for a trip, I have something to discuss with him. Bao Xi thought about what Ning Shuang said about Shenhou for a long time, and felt that it was not good to get it on the surface, so it was better to arrange it secretly.
"Yes!" Zhi'er was very positive about asking Xi Bing to enter the palace, because she could see him again.
The next day, Bao Xi saw Xi Bing.
"Zhi'er, Wu'er, you two go to the door and keep guard, don't let anyone in. â
There were only two people left in the room, Bao Xi and Xi Bing, and Bao Xi said to Xi Bing: "I called Gongzi to come because I want to borrow the hand of the Xi family to do something." It's not easy for His Majesty to come forward with these things. â
"Madam, please speak!" After this period of running-in, they have now completely become people in the same boat. The family also regarded themselves as Mrs. De's own family.
"The sister-in-law of the Shen family had a walnut-sized cyan birthmark on his back waist when he was born, but according to the people who served Shen Hou, he did not have this birthmark on his body. So we suspect that Shenhou may have been dropped when he was a child. I want you to find someone to spread this matter, and it must reach the ears of the Shen clan. â
Bao Xi stroked her round belly, her lips were lightly raised, and it was appropriate to teach her face-to-face.
The Shen family has now broken with the royal family, but it has not reaped any benefits, because of the "criminal evidence" of the Shen Hou, it can be said that the Shen family is relatively passive, and its interior will definitely not be monolithic. Bao Xi is to suppress the prestige of Shenhou and let them fight among themselves.
"Is Madame's source reliable?" this matter ...... can be inquired about, Madame Nade is too powerful, right?" Ji Bing thought.
"Is it important?" Bao Xi curled the corners of her lips slightly, looking at Xi Bing with a smile.
"I know what to do!" "Ji Bing understood what Bao Xi meant in an instant. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's important to make everyone else think it's true. Sure enough, it is Mrs. De!
Ji Bing got up and said goodbye convincingly.
Conceived in October and delivered in one day. Under the careful care of her biological mother, Mrs. Jiang, and under the proper protection of King Zhou, Bao Xishun gave birth to a baby boy.
King Zhou looked at the white and chubby, Yuxue's cute little bun in his arms, and his mood was extremely agitated. However, the first thing he asked was Bao Xi.
"How's Madame De?"
"Madame is fine, just take care of it. The midwife who came out with the child didn't expect that the first thing King Zhou asked was Mrs. De. I secretly sighed in my heart that Mrs. De was deeply favored.
"Okay! good!" King Zhou nodded with a smile, not realizing the strangeness of his behavior at all, and raised the swaddling clothes in his hand high and said, "This child, in the future, it will be called 'Bofu'!"
Uncle, all the ministers to serve.
You will definitely help your father stabilize the foundation of the Great Zhou for 800 years!
The birth of King Zhou's youngest son has attracted much attention. Although King Zhou and Bao Xi had known from the medical officer that this was a boy, the others did not! Now that the child was born, everyone knew that a new round of power turmoil was about to begin.
What's more, King Zhou gave this son such a name. As soon as the ministers heard it, they knew that the king of Zhou was determined to let this son inherit the great Zhou. For a while, I made a decision in my heart.
Sure enough, when the moon was full, the king of Zhou issued an order to abolish the crown prince Yijiu and Empress Shen. Originally, he also wanted to canonize Bofu as the crown prince and Bao Xi as the queen's will together, but he was persuaded by Bao Xi.
Empress Shen and the first prince were deposed mainly because of their own reasons, they relied on the Shen family wholeheartedly, and did not stand on the same team as the king of Zhou. Bao Xi didn't want people to think that they were squeezed away by their mother and son. Take your time and don't rush.
Bofu's Shun lĂŹ was born, which completely shattered Shenhou's luck psychology and made him feel pressured. The princes and ministers who had secretly had dealings with him gradually cut off contact with him.
At the same time, the people somehow spread the rumor that Shenhou was a bag of goods. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Especially this kind of hidden gossip of dignitaries and dignitaries makes ordinary people talk about it. The image of the Great Zhou Dynasty heroes created by Shenhou at the beginning was fragmented.
The rumors spread so widely that even everyone in the Shen family knew about it. At this time, people have the most important blood, although Shen Hou is the backbone of the Shen family, but this matter still greatly reduced his prestige, and some people even mentioned to the elder of the sect to verify his identity. Although the matter was temporarily suppressed by the Sect Elder, as the pressure inside and outside the Shen family increased, the situation of the Shen Hou became more and more unpleasant, and it was really hard to say how long this matter could be suppressed.
Shenhou has recently been in trouble both internally and externally. He had to do something.
Shenhou began to let people spread among the people that the king of Zhou was mediocre and lascivious, intended to abolish the crown prince and queen for the sake of a praise girl, and even framed and slandered loyal ministers (mainly referring to Shenhou), leading the story of the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
On the other hand, he wrote a letter to King Rongdi and sent his most reliable confidant out.
Soon after, an army of Dongyi appeared around Haojing, hunted with great enthusiasm, and threatened to capture Haojing and capture the king of Zhou.
At that time, King Zhou was teasing Xiao Bofu in the Linhua Palace, and Bao Xi was looking at the father and son with a satisfied face. Hearing the news of Dongyi's attack, both of them were shocked.
"How far is the enemy army from Kyoto?" asked King Zhou who had come to report in person. He is now in charge of Hokyo's defense.
"Back to His Majesty, it's only a hundred miles away. â
More than 100 li, which means that they can besiege Hojing in just one day.
"Can you find out how many soldiers they have?"
According to those who escaped from the two suburban counties that were captured, the enemy army was said to be 300,000 strong. â
"How many of us are there?"
"We only have 80,000 soldiers, and if we mobilize the young and middle-aged people of the whole city, we can gather 1230,000 soldiers. â
King Zhou shook his body when he heard this, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, but Rong He's eyes were quick and he quickly supported him.
"Outnumbered, light the beacon fire and let the princes of all walks of life come to the rescue!" King Zhou quickly made a decision.
There are only two princes and kings surnamed Ji in the Great Zhou Dynasty, although they are all old, and they do not jump in the court on weekdays, and concentrate on caring for the elderly at home, but the soldiers are fully arranged. In addition to Shenhou, there are many other small princes who have different numbers of soldiers and horses in hand. In such a critical situation, the only way to summon all the princes is to light the beacon fire and summon all the princes to King Qin.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ji Bing ordered to turn around immediately, and was about to do it. In his opinion, this is the only way.
"Wait a minute!" Bao Xi hurriedly exited and called out to Ji Bing.
"Your Majesty, this is not quite right. Bao Xi explained with the puzzled eyes of King Zhou, Xi Bing and the others.
"Dongyi is very far away from Haojing, and there are four state capitals in between, if it is really an army of 300,000 Dongyi who is attacking, how can there be no news at all, and they come directly to Haojing? Bao Xi said firmly.
She remembered that in the previous life, the original owner encountered the same situation as now, when it was claimed that hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in Hokyo could be wiped out with a single hand, but it was just a bluff of 20,000 people. By the time the king of Zhou recruited the army of the princes and the king of Qin with great fanfare, they had long since disappeared, leaving behind an absurd legend that "the king of Zhou played the princes in order to please him".
In this life, you can't be fooled like this again.
"Then what do you think will be someone pretending to be the Dongyi Army?" King Zhou calmed down and felt that what Bao Xi said was very reasonable. But who would pretend to be the Dongyi Army? Why do you want to pretend to?
"We can rule them all out. It shouldn't be Shenhou, he has so many soldiers at hand, he shouldn't consume his strength so early. Rong Di's words...... Majesty, the concubine body thinks it is Rong Di. Bao Xi looked at King Zhou with blazing eyes.
"Rong Di?" King Zhou thought of the matter that Shen Hou and Rong Di should have colluded with him that Bao Xi had analyzed with him before. Rong Di is also a state away from Hojing, and if Shenhou does something to do something, it is possible that they can come to the vicinity of Hojing quietly.
"Commander, did you say that some of the people who escaped from the captured suburbs just now said that they called themselves the '300,000 Army'?" In front of King Zhou, she didn't call him "Gongzi" and didn't want to highlight their kinship.
"Yes. Ji Bing carefully recalled the situation described to him by those who escaped death, and gave an affirmative answer.
"Why do you call yourself?" Bao Xi raised her eyebrows and squinted at Xi Bingdao. Is it because you are afraid that others will not see it? Bluffs are generally aimed at scaring people.
"Humble duty understood. "How smart is Ji Bing?" he looked at Bao Xi's expression, and after a little thought, he understood. Immediately said to Bao Xi clearly.
Okay! It's all deceived by Lao Tzu!
"Your Majesty, didn't we take strong precautions against the border with Rong Di before? If we don't wait, maybe the news will arrive. â
The news was not sent to the end, there were only two possibilities, one was maliciously obstructed, and the other was that things were not strict at all. King Zhou and Shenhou have already torn their faces, and this time they must be their own people, and others don't know about it, so Bao Xi judged that it should be the latter reason.
"Okay!" King Zhou asked Xi Bing to make some preparations in the city first and wait for news.
On the second day, King Zhou really got the news from the border pass. It is said that Rong Di secretly attacked a village, and there may be a small number of Rong Di troops who ran into the territory of the Great Zhou. According to the traces left at the scene, it should be about 20,000 people. At present, the army at the border pass is searching with all its might, so King Zhou does not have to worry.
King Zhou was relieved now. Twenty thousand! There's nothing to worry about. There are 80,000 people in Hokyo! It's not easy to clean them up?
Shenhou originally wanted to give King Zhou a game of false alarm, which destroyed King Zhou's prestige in everyone's minds, and he was even ready to spread the rumor that "King Zhou teased the princes just to please the beauties" that he would spread in the future. As a result, I didn't expect to fool the other party at all. The 20,000 people were wiped out before they could fight a single two.
The king of Zhou sent an accountable diplomatic mission to Dongyi under the advice of Bao Xi, asking them why they had joined forces with Shenhou to rebel. Do you think that the army of the Great Zhou is an ornament?
At the same time, the king of Zhou sent a diplomatic mission to Rong Di to show off his might, saying that Shenhou had destroyed the army and horses they had infiltrated into the Great Zhou in order to make meritorious contributions. The heads of several major generals were also sent.
The king of Dongyi was furious, and he said that the Great Zhou army on the border between the two countries had increased so much recently, and he thought that what had happened, it turned out that Shenhou had taken advantage of them! Although they had been in contact before, they had not yet discussed a good matter, so how could they be dragged to do the backing?
King Dongyi said that they would not carry this black cauldron. also took great pains to write a letter of state to explain the situation, saying that they were not involved in this matter, and it was all done by Shenhou alone.
Rong Di was also annoyed. Shenhou begged him to send troops, saying that he would guarantee that he would be fine. As a result, his people broke down, and it turned out that Shenhou killed him. Isn't this kidding them!
Since then, Shenhou has been blacklisted in Dongyi and Rongdi. They can't trust them anymore.
