Chapter 585: Determination
Chu Zhaohui regretted it in every way, he knew that it would still be like this, so he should have ignored his son's resentment and curse, and would rather break his legs than let him step out of the gate of King An's mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Queen Chu silently handed the handkerchief to her sister, looked at Chu Zhaohui's complaining expression, and was speechless for a long time.
She stood up and knelt lightly in front of Chu Zhaohui, startling Chu Zhaohui to turn away in a hurry.
The sisters are of the same heart, and they don't need words for each other, Chu Zhaohui can understand what Queen Chu wants to express.
Empress Chu knelt in front of her sister, her phoenix eyes were full of apology, but there was no room for a turnaround: "I'm sorry, my sister and General Su's only son probably can't be saved." Between the family and the country, please forgive my sister, neither I nor Your Majesty can take Xixia's good son Lang to be cannon fodder for nothing, and Duhan's life is not more precious than theirs. ”
A few words that should have been said a long time ago, hidden in each other's hearts for a long time, Queen Chu was loud, and she could no longer allow herself to have any appeasement.
Now, just like Chu Zhaohui's decision, she is relieved. After calmly accepting his sister's bow, Chu Zhaohui asked in a hoarse voice: "Tell me in detail what the situation is in Cangnan." ”
There was no report from the imperial court in King An's mansion, the news from Mingzhu was unknown, and Chu Zhaohui did not enter the palace for several days in a row, and he did not know the situation in Jiangyin.
Listening to Queen Chu's eloquent words, and hearing that the defeat of the Su family had been decided, Chu Zhaohui was silent.
I remember that when Su Guangfu lived in Fuzhong, although she had little contact with this Yunnan visitor, she heard a lot of words about him from Su Duhan's mouth.
Su Guangfu's scheming and mental tenacity are very within the reach of people, but seeing that he has abandoned his family and business all these years, and traveled around Yunnan and Tibet all day long to expand his power, just to prepare for Kuang Fu's Great Zhou, he will not let go easily.
Now, although he is defeated, he will definitely refuse to be captured. Chu Zhaohui didn't believe that Su Guangfu had been plotting for a long time, so he gave up hope of recovering the country so easily.
With her own crossing, she secretly deliberated about this person's next move, and then recalled Su Duhan's words in the past. Suddenly, he raised his head, his face was snow-pale, and his ten fingers clasped the hand of Queen Chu, trembling like a fallen leaf in the wind.
"Yaoguang, I want to go to the border city as soon as possible, if it is late, there will be changes, you hurry up and arrange it. Chu Zhaohui grabbed his sister's hand and stood up, with indescribable firmness in his eyes.
"Sister, you are confused, the border city snowed in September, and now the snow has long covered the mountain. You are delicate, how can you go to the border city?" Empress Chu looked at her sister with pity, fearing that she would be greatly stimulated, and Su Duhan's rebellion would become the last straw that overwhelmed her body.
"They won't admit defeat easily, Su Guangfu knows that they can't do it with these rabble, but they are just using this as a cover. If they want to conquer the world, they must have a real army in their hands. It must be like this, it must be like this, Su Guangfu is secretly Chen Cang in the Ming Plank Road. ”
Chu Zhaohui's eyes flashed with a strange water, like clusters of fireworks, staining his cheeks red like fire. She spoke out loud her judgment, clearly emotional.
When Su Guangfu was there, he mentioned the border city defenders to Su Duhan several times, and mentioned the loyalty of those people to Su Rui. Chu Zhaohui's premonition came abruptly and strongly, and she tightly tugged on Empress Chu's sleeve and shouted, "Dusk Han will definitely go to the border city and rebel against the army there." ”
Soldiers who have been on the battlefield all day long and have gone through nine deaths and lives are naturally not the same in combat effectiveness as those of well-pampered officers and men, and only such an army can be used to achieve success.
As the emperor had expected, they had been delaying Su Duhan's attack on the lord, and sooner or later they had left Li Zhifang out, in order to prevent him from having the opportunity to walk the border city.
Knowing that her sister's words were indeed reasonable, Queen Chu muttered: "The terrain is dangerous, and my sister naturally can't go there." You can rest assured that His Majesty will immediately send people from the military department to take charge. ”
"You are confused, Su Rui's prestige in the army is unmatched, so he said something arrogant, he has already made great achievements, how can the military department suppress it? Li Zhifang's father and son were lonely, and the situation was greatly unfavorable. ”
Chu Zhaohui's heartfelt words were sincere, and a sad smile bloomed on his lips. These days, she's actually figured out a lot of old things.
The Yuan Fei who was beheaded by Su Rui under the sword is afraid that he is the old department of the Su clan at all. Otherwise, although the husband is brave, he never uses his hands against his subordinates. If you want to stand up for Emperor Chongming, you don't need to hold the flag of your brother who has been born and died with him for many years, that is not her husband's style, let alone his personality.
Chu Zhaohui said word by word: "I guess that there are also their people in the army, and they will be used as the internal response to this twilight cold." If the morale of the army is shaken, the consequences will be unimaginable. As Su Rui's widow, no one can stop them better than me. ”
Ordered Qin Yao to take the manuscript of Su Duhan's article, Chu Zhaohui read it carefully again, pointed to the sentence "still located in the son of the Dragon and Tiger General", and sneered: "You see, they know that their names are not right, and they refuse to say that they are restoring the Great Zhou, and they are still playing the banner of Su Rui." The general is in trouble, how can I stand idly by?"
Empress Chu looked at her sister steadily, looking at the resolute and upright look on her face, as if she had only re-acquainted herself today.
The real cause of Su Rui's death, which was reported by Li Zhifang that day and concealed by the emperor and queen, Empress Chu felt that it was necessary to reveal it in front of her sister at this time.
"My sister is wise, and everything is accurately guessed. There was indeed their internal response in the army, and the brother-in-law did not die on the battlefield in the border city that day, but on the way back to Beijing in triumph. ”
On that day, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and even more so not to startle the snake, Li Zhifang had no choice but to make such a decision, concealing the real cause of Su Rui's death, and falsely claiming that he was seriously injured in the first battle of the border city and died on the way.
"The poison feather arrow that was fired at my brother-in-law was close at hand, and he was surrounded by cronies. General Li suspected that there were traitors hidden in the army that day, so he hid around his brother-in-law, exactly like that Yuan Fei", Empress Chu revealed the truth word by word.
Chu Zhaohui was shocked when he heard this, and sat back on the bed in a dejected manner, but he clenched his fists firmly: "In this way, I want to go to the border city, and I want to see the enemy who killed my husband arrested, and I will never let the thieves of the Millennium Sect succeed." ”
The mountains are far away, the desert is yellow sand, and the sturdy men are still stopping, not to mention that her sister is weak and can't help the wind, how can she walk the border city? Although admitting that this is the best way, Queen Chu hesitated.
"I can't be the master", Queen Chu shook her head honestly, "Let's go to see the queen mother together and listen to her old man's meaning." ”
In the Shoukang Palace, the whole picture was hung up again. When the two sisters entered, the Queen Mother and the old lady were standing with their hands crossed, with their backs to the two of them, staring at the huge map on the wall, pointing and pointing from time to time.
