The afternoon sun was thin, mixed with a sad atmosphere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt was about early autumn, and many of the flowers and trees in the palace had begun to wither. Even the lotus flowers in the pond have lost their former fragrance. Leaving only a remnant of the lotus, it is still standing there.

Under the west window, Wan Ning sat quietly reading a book. This is still a habit she has developed over the years, as long as she has a free time, she will read a book. When I was young, I didn't have the opportunity to read, but when I entered the palace, I was instructed by Jun Hao, and I gradually became interested in reading.

The curtain of the door sounded, and Butterfly entered. She didn't know why Wan Ning had called her here, so she didn't feel standing next to her with a smile on her face, and she didn't dare to disturb Wan Ning's leisure. After about a quarter of an hour's effort, Wan Ning slowly put down the book and turned to Die'er: "Thanks to you, I can see Xianyun again." ”

Hearing this, Die'er immediately smiled: "Where my aunt said, my aunt's business is Die'er's business, if my aunt has anything else to tell in the future, just say it to Die'er, and Die'er will definitely do it properly for my aunt......"

In the end, it was trained by rulers, and even speaking was so rigorous. Wanning couldn't help but look at Die'er again, looking at Die'er, who was still young, but her lips were red and her teeth were white. Especially a pair of watery eyes, always with endless smiles.

But in this smile, how much is true and how much is false. Wan Ning really should have a good test, otherwise if Die'er was really sent by Jiang Lingyan, wouldn't she have wasted her previous efforts. "He Jing's name change was also your idea, right?" Wan Ning asked slowly.

Die'er nodded with a smile: "In the deep palace, human life is like a mustard. He Jing is a slave like Die'er, Die'er can't see death without saving her, right? Having said that, Wan Ning could still hear it. These things, Die'er Su go, but they all have deep meaning.

The lives of people in the deep palace are like mustard, this is true. But if you follow a good master, the slave and maid will also be wiped out. Die'er watched Jiang Lingyan arrive on stage, so she came up with such a deliberate idea. Even to find the whereabouts of Xianyun, who will know if Die'er did it on purpose.

No matter what, Wan Ning still had to find an excuse to kick her out. For example, to test her loyalty, she will always hesitate to do something. This excuse is also a matter of course, thinking of this, Wan Ning unconsciously stroked Die'er's shoulder: "How do I know, what you said is true or false?" ”

"Auntie doesn't believe in Die'er?" Die'er asked rhetorically, revealing a suspicion in her words. She has always heard that Wanning is also a person with means. Otherwise, she would not have come to this point, Die'er knelt on the ground and swore an oath, "Die'er dares to swear to the sky, if she dares to deceive her aunt, she will be punished by God!" ”

"Anyone can talk about empty words," Wan Ning dismissed, "If you do something for me, I will believe your so-called oath." She paced to Die'er's side, leaned down and whispered, "Kill Chen Xueying, you will follow me in the future......"

Killed, Chen Xueying? Die'er was immediately stunned, you must know that Chen Xueying is the queen of the dynasty. Now Wanning wants her to murder the queen! Her brain was blank, and she was paralyzed on the ground: "She's the queen, isn't my aunt, misremember?" ”

"What queen?!" Wan Ning immediately replied and sneered, "She's just a pawn in my plan, if it weren't for my recommendation, how could she be the queen?" It's okay if you don't do it, but don't forget, Jiang Lingyan is guilty, she is on the run now, and you are her maid again...... I am afraid that this layer of criminal responsibility will not escape the involvement......"

The flowers fell overnight, and they were raised. The meadows are dotted with pink crape myrtle flowers. From a distance, it looks like a flowing rainbow. After the storm, there will always be a little trace. Those days that have passed will also leave meandering footsteps.

When she came out of the imperial dining room, Die'er's hands trembled a little. The food box she was carrying contained Chen Xueying's favorite lotus seed soup. It's just that I did some small tricks and feet, and the butterflies along the way, even taking a step are a little difficult.

Originally, it only took a dozen steps, but it made Die'er walk for half an hour! She was scared, terrified. If she agrees with Wanning's words, she will not get An Sheng in her heart if she attacks Chen Xueying. Although she has done many wrong things, she has never harmed anyone.

But if she doesn't, she will definitely be implicated, and she will be used as a "scapegoat", which will be a matter of losing her life at that time. In this comparison, Die'er feels that it is better to live, at least she can be sheltered by grace, and the condemnation of conscience is not much taken care of.

"You're here just in time, the queen has just gotten up," He Jing waited for a long time at the door of Zhongcui Palace before he saw Die'er coming over with a food box. It's just that Die'er's eyes are a little dazed, and her face is not very good. He Jing pulled her sleeve and reminded in a low voice, "Even if you choose this path, you must go on!" ”

I heard earlier that Wan Ning had placed eyeliner in Zhong Cui Palace. It seems that it is He Jing, Die'er thought about the fact that she asked He Jing to change her name, and today He Jing kindly reminded herself. She felt in her heart that the phrase "Grace Retribution" was right.

The room was silent, with occasional wheezing or coughing sounds. According to Die'er's later recollection, Chen Xueying was actually terminally ill, and even if Wanning couldn't start, it would be difficult for Chen Xueying to live. So this opportunity, Wanning calculated just right.

When the curtain was opened, Die'er saw a sick beauty who was described as haggard. Although it is a flower and a moon, it has been invaded by illness for a long time. Like a falling flower after the rain, you can no longer find the fragrance of the past. It's just that this Chen Xueying in front of her is a little familiar with her eyebrows and eyes.

When He Jing served Chen Xueying and put on makeup, Die'er would never have thought that the sick queen mother in front of her would be the original Ping noble! It's just that he was eroded by Gu poison, and he barely survived to this day with a glimmer of life. In order to see Jun Hao, but he had to avoid Jiang Lingyan's persecution, so he had to rely on Yi Rong to enter the palace draft.

"Die'er, don't, don't say it......" Chen Xueying was a little struggling to speak at this time, "As long as I see that the emperor is safe, safe, it's fine." If he saw me like this, he would be frightened...... "Ahem, cough, cough - Chen Xueying only felt that her throat was dry."

The Gu poison stayed in her body for a long time, if it weren't for Jiang Lingyan's antidote, Chen Xueying would have died a long time ago. Now that Jiang Lingyan is on the run, Chen Xueying can't find the antidote. But it hurt Liang Yuzhen again, and she always had nightmares at night, and after having a miscarriage, she was even more in a trance.

Die'er's heart softened, and she suddenly felt pity for this Chen Xueying. If she goes back to Changchun Palace to get the antidote at this time, can she alleviate her condition? Just as she was hesitating, she was suddenly secretly pinched by He Jing.

Die'er came back to her senses and looked at He Jing with a pair of angry eyes. Immediately took that thought, turned to bring out the lotus seed soup, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, try it, this is the lotus seed soup that Aunt Yan specially ordered the imperial dining room to make-" She deliberately lied again, "Aunt Yan specially ordered, and added some antidotes, although the taste is bitter, but the effect is good, Niangniang can give it a try." ”

Hearing Die'er say this, Chen Xueying's heart was sweet. In the end, Wan was thinking about herself, although she said she didn't care, she still thought about it in her heart. Chen Xueying smiled and said, "Then for this palace, thank you Wanning." She picked up the bowl and drank it.

Lightning and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down. The declaration of war on the table came into view. Chen Guo's declaration of war on Donglu was expected by Jun Hao. It's just that he didn't expect that this day would come so soon. It's only been three days, and Chen Guo's news is really well-informed.

According to the date given in the declaration of war, it was in the tenth month of the slaughter. It is now August, and most of the army in the court is controlled by Wang Qibo. Just asked the Ministry of War to send troops, who would have expected that Wang Qibo would put forward the condition of "reducing the army."

At the beginning, when Jun Hao was unwell and handed over the government to Chu Yunhong as his agent. Wang Qibo once put forward this condition, and Jun Hao was still on the sickbed at that time, so naturally he did not give any results. Now Wang Qibo took advantage of this war to put forward that condition again.

In fact, Jun Hao knows very well what to cut the army. It's just taking advantage of this time to replace those people with his own henchmen. It's like the Liu family at the beginning, if this is really the case, this army will change its name and surname.

The envoy of Chen Guo waited for the following, and was still staying at the state guesthouse. Jun Hao naturally has to give people an answer, otherwise it will always be so consumed, and it will not be a way after all. He wanted to grind gracefully, and then took out a pen and wrote a reply to Chen Guo on the white letterhead.

Regardless, accepting this war is inevitable. Moreover, Wang Qibo has led the troops for many years, and this time he will definitely be able to beat Chen Guo without a backhand. In Jun Hao's view, he must lay a solid foundation for himself and for the land of Donglu, and prepare for dominating the world in the future.

After watching Wang Lianying send the return book to the State Guesthouse, Jun Hao breathed a long sigh of relief. The wind outside the window gradually became quieter, but the rain continued to fall. He walked around a large interlude and looked at the parchment map thinking about something. The state of Chen is located in the plains, but it is a big flaw.

However, it is not easy to cross the Yellow River and go to Yangcheng, the capital of the Chen Kingdom. The last time Xiao Yihan went, because he was walking alone, he naturally went with the ferry. But now it is the army of the eastern foot to cross the river, but it is a tricky matter.

"We can borrow the Song Kingdom," Wan Ning on the side pointed to the neighbors of the Chen Kingdom above, and said thoughtfully, "and then cross through the Xifeng Pass, and we can reach Yangcheng." Following the direction of Wanning's finger, Jun Hao recognized that if he passed through Xifengkou, he could reach the small town of Luyan in Yangcheng.

In fact, when it comes to the Song Kingdom, Donglu still has an in-law relationship with the Song Kingdom. Thirty years ago, when Emperor Chengzu of Donglu was in power, he once married the eldest princess of Chen State. Later, the eldest princess was famous, and Emperor Chengzu also chanted for her.

Compared with this relationship, Song Guo will definitely not refuse. And this road is at least twice as far as the road is directly crossed by the Yellow River. Moreover, if you want to use the Song State, it will inevitably disturb the Chen State, and the Chen State will not deploy in advance. Or, Chen Guoguo bought off Song Guo. All possibilities must be thought of.

"The monarch of the Song Kingdom has always been mediocre, especially the current Song Jinggong," Wan Ning analyzed one by one, "If you promise to give him benefits, why is it difficult to borrow the Song Kingdom?" "Give him benefits, it's better to destroy him!" Jun Hao's words revealed the appearance of imperativeness.

"Ning'er is still too soft-hearted," Jun Hao looked at the sheepskin map, and seemed to be able to see the beacon fire and wolf smoke on the land of the Central Plains, "Who will remember the early years of in-laws?" The only benefit to him is the cession of land, and it is the people who suffer. As long as Song Guo is willing to surrender to my eastern foothills, I will naturally not treat them badly......"

On the glazed tiles, the colors of the glow shine. The rainwater that remained on the eaves was blown down by the wind. Falling in mid-air, it looks like a transparent pearl. Crystal clear, flawless. In the hall of Zhengyang Hall, Jun Hao is quietly reading a book, and the sunlight is refracted into beautiful colors.

When Wang Qibo was led into the palace by Wanning, he actually knew it in his heart. This must be Jun Hao's request for himself, and it is only two months before the start of the war. But seeing Jun Hao looking at the book, he said to Wanning: "Ning'er will go make tea first, I have something to say to Wang Shangshu." ”

Zhi Wanning left, and only Jun Hao and Wang Qibo were left in the room. He slowly put down the book, then walked up to Wang Qibo, and said in a commanding tone: "Chen Guo has already issued a war letter, and you must know it." I appointed you as the general of Zhenping, and set foot on the state of Chen in October! ”

These words were very impassioned, but Wang Qibo was still thinking about disarmament in his heart. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he was patted on the shoulder by Jun Hao and said: "If it weren't for Wang Shangshu's help, I wouldn't have succeeded in recovering the country." As you said earlier, I promised you. ”

But Wang Qibo heard it wrong? He looked at Jun Hao's determined eyes, and his heart also settled down. Then he arched his hand and said: "Weichen has received the emperor's grace and should serve the emperor!" The emperor and rest assured, Weichen will definitely make Chen Kingdom the land of my eastern foothills-"

Hearing Wang Qibo say this, Jun Hao was very satisfied. He brought Wang Qibo to the parchment map, and then explained his plan in detail. Then he pointed to the territory of Chen and Song, and turned to Wang Qibo and said: "Song and Chen, both countries must be taken, don't let me down." ”

At this time, Wan Ning had already served the brewed tea, and said to Wang Qibo with a smile: "Ning Er admires General Wang the most, and she has never had the opportunity to meet. Today, I will replace wine with tea, and I wish General Wang a victory! With that, Wan Ning drank the tea, revealing a slight smile between her eyebrows.

"I, Wang Qibo, can get Miss Yan's favor, it's really a blessing for three lives!" Wang Qibo was a little flattered, and said that he didn't know that in addition to the queen's mother, there was this maid in front of the palace. If you want to get the favor of the emperor, you must first get Wanning's attention.

What's more, in Wang Qibo's opinion, Wanning asked him to assassinate the show girl at the beginning, and later asked him to pursue Jiang Lingyan who escaped. Regardless of the reason, you can see what Wanning's mind is. After all, Wang Qibo is the real culprit behind the scenes. So he had to find a mountain to rely on.

The wind blew, ruffling the hair in front of Wanning's forehead. The letterhead on the table was a little messy, and Wan Ning stretched out her hand to tidy it up. But unintentionally, I turned to a booklet. Curious for a moment, she unconsciously turned it out and saw that it was the account book of the treasury order.

In this way, Jun Hao already knows. This booklet was probably given to him by Chu Yunhong, so it can be calculated according to this. Jun Hao is also ready, how to deal with Wang Qibo. It's just that now that the big war is imminent, it is reasonable to put aside other things and wait until the end.

"Your Highness really has an emperor's plan," Wan Ning reported the booklet, as well as how Chu Yunhong found out the whereabouts of the ingot of gold from the treasury order. In Wan Ning's opinion, Chu Yunhong's strategy was not inferior to Chu Junhao at all. But she didn't understand, this will get the account book, so how to pay the military salary when the war started? You know, those military salaries also have to be registered from the treasury of the Ministry of War.

"This is the money spent by the Ministry of War over the years, and it seems that Wang Qibo is right, disarmament is imperative." Jun Hao deliberately put this booklet on the table, just to tell Wang Qibo clearly. He wants Wang Qibo to disarm, and he must carry it out.

No wonder, no wonder Wang Qibo agreed so happily. That's why! Wan Ning unconsciously looked through the account books, and the military expenses accumulated on them amounted to millions of taels! Wang Qibo wants to be disarmed, and it seems that he is also a far-sighted person. Jun Hao does not dispose of him for the time being, and he also has his own reasons. It's a good idea to get away with it.
