Kyushu smoke, the nations strife. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the time of Emperor Shengzu in the eastern foothills, there have been seven countries left in Kyushu. Chen, Song, Lu, Wei, Jiang, Zheng, Chu. Among these seven countries, excluding the destroyed Song State and the powerless Chen State, only the southern power remained: the Chu State.

Speaking of Chu Guolai, there are still some in-laws with Donglu. King Chu Xi of Chu State once married the sister of the Holy Ancestor Emperor of Donglu as his wife. Although the two countries are far apart, they are also friendly countries. Later, for the ownership of Danyang City, it was only half of Danyang City.

The years have passed in a flash, and it has reached the generation of King Chu Wu of Chu State. He advocated the use of force to resolve the issue of diplomatic relations, so in a short period of ten years. It has successively annexed small neighboring countries such as Bashu and Yelang. The scope of his own territory has been expanded to the south for nearly a thousand miles.

Recently, I heard that Donglu had destroyed the Song Kingdom, and Chen Guo was dizzy. Obviously, Donglu wants to open up the pass to the east. As a result, small countries in the east, such as Lu Wei and Zheng Jiang, bowed to the eastern foothills. Then Donglu's next move is to attack the Chu State.

Donglu's ambition to unify the world is well known. King Wu of Chu consulted with the courtiers and decided to take advantage of the weakness of the eastern foothills to knock on the southern pass of the eastern foothills. Ring a wake-up call to Donglu and recapture Danyang City, which was once divided in half.

Naturally, when the news of the annexation and deployment of the State of Chu in Danyang City reached Kyoto. The courtiers of Donglu were in an uproar, and they said that they would send troops as soon as possible to drive the Chu State out of the Donglu border. That said that it should be fought all the way to the kingdom of Chu. Some people said that it was better to tie up the envoy of Chu in the eastern foothills and threaten him.

The candle flame flickered, looking at the excerpts that were playing. also all of them mean "sending troops to fight", Jun Hao unconsciously flipped through them one by one, but sighed again and again. The state of Chu sent troops to Danyang City, and Jun Hao should have sent troops to go.

However, the reason why he sighed was because it was late autumn. There was a shortage of food and grass, and the soldiers returned from the destruction of the Song Kingdom. Although the morale is still there, the battle was won. But in the end, 50,000 soldiers were also damaged, and those armor and weapons were also worn.

Just imagine, if you take advantage of this opportunity to fight. It's not that there is no chance of winning, but "a pyrrhic victory". After all, many soldiers are now wounded and are still recuperating. Those soldiers who were killed and wounded also had a treasury to calculate the silver taels, and distributed them to their families one by one for bereavement.

There was a wind blowing outside the window, and Jun Hao got up and stood at the window. Looking at the withered yellow leaves outside, I can't help but sigh the passage of time. The crisis in the east was resolved, but the southern state of Chu was eyeing itself. He, the king, is having a hard time.

"Ning'er, where's my rice wine?" His voice echoed through the empty hall, and all that answered him was the bleak autumn wind. The flickering candle flame imprinted his lonely figure on the cloister. Only then did he suddenly remember that Wan Ning had already left the Zhengyang Palace, and she was going to get married tomorrow.

The cold wind blew the fallen leaves on the branches. Jun Hao was about to turn his head, but saw a familiar figure next to the table. Apricot yellow clothes, slim waist bundle. Isn't it just Wanning? Jun Hao still didn't believe it, and walked over slowly.

"It's cold in the middle of the night, the emperor rests early," Wan Ning said, and picked up the hot rice wine. She was originally reluctant to come to Zhengyang Palace, but Jun Hao's words had already made Wan Ning very sad. But for some reason, her footsteps did not obey the call and came towards the Zhengyang Palace.

At that moment, Wan Ning Fang understood her heart. Except for the three words "Chu Junhao", there is no room for anyone anymore. She just hoped that for the last time, she could stand in the Zhengyang Hall and serve Jun Hao. Even just a glance at him is enough for Wanning.

The candle flame in the room slowly lit up, and Wan Ning could see that Jun Hao's cloudy eyes were mixed with a little tiredness. There are too many things these days: the queen died of illness, the Bian defense camp was lost, and the state of Chu attacked. Wan Ning was really a little worried, after she left, who would come, and the Jun Hao who served was so proper?

The moon shadow is shining, and the curtain is lower. The aroma of rice wine is dyed by the heath. The flavor that gives birth for a period of time is long in reserve. It was like returning to the old days, and Wan Ning was still standing next to her and serving quietly. Behind the table is the figure of Jun Hao working the desk.

"I said last time that I don't want to see you in the Zhengyang Palace," Jun Hao, as a king, must not disobey his own words. If it weren't for Wan Ning being too self-authorized, Jun Hao wouldn't let Wan Ning leave. As long as you are willing to admit your mistakes and recognize your identity.

It's just that power is like a boat, and it's hard to turn back when you walk up. Wan Ning is the same, she learned from Wang Lianying what happened in the court. I was always relieved, so I quietly walked into the Zhengyang Palace. In the past, Jun Hao discussed with himself, and no matter how difficult things were, they would become very easy.

"The emperor is angry with the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid are not resentful," Wan Ning picked up a fold and slowly opened it, "It's just that now that the Chu State has invaded my eastern foothills, this is the top priority." In Wanning's view, when the national crisis is at hand, personal grievances should be put aside.

Hearing Wanning say such words, Jun Hao unconsciously looked at the woman in front of him differently. Since Wan Ning entered the palace to be tortured, the moment she didn't say a word. Jun Hao felt that this was a different kind of maid: "Then tell me, what should I do?" ”

This is to put the initiative in Wanning's hands. But she thought about the last time she dismantled and read the military newspaper privately, which made Long Yan angry. He also expelled himself from the Zhengyang Palace. This time, Wan Ning just had an idea, and she didn't dare to say anything more: "The emperor is sage, but the emperor is in charge." ”

In the past, she was also a maid in front of the palace, and she was qualified to give opinions. This time it was a commoner, and she Yan Wanning really recognized her identity. Only stood there silently with her head down, and she just wanted to see if Jun Hao had a good idea this time.

"I really don't want to lose my soldiers," Jun Hao knew in his heart that Wan Ning didn't dare to make a mistake this time. But he also thought that Wan Ning could give him an opinion, "Give up Danyang and sign an armistice agreement - but I'm afraid that the king of Chu will not want to fight with me in the east, but what?" ”

In Jun Hao's opinion, he was thinking about waiting until this winter. Let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and harvest the grain and grass in the autumn of the following year. The gap can be used to repair armor, sew winter clothes, and repair weapons. Stockpiling grain and grass next winter and deploying troops. In the spring of the second year, it was a good policy to attack Chu and recapture Danyang.

"There is a Ming monarch like the emperor in the eastern foothills, and it is not a problem to unify the Central Plains," Wanning is very proud to serve such a strategic king. She very much agreed with Jun Hao's approach, but those conditions had to wait until the king of Chu agreed to a truce.

"Hong'er is not small, it is time to go outside to exercise," Jun Hao finally said his thoughts, "Let him go to Chu State as a hostage, and Wang Qibo will escort him." It is believed that the Chu State agreed to sign an armistice agreement -- "We must give Donglu a time to recuperate."

In addition to wars and marriages, the policy of diplomatic relations also includes a section of "hostage to each other". Donglu ascended the throne as the emperor since Junhao, but he almost lost his land after two marriages. sent the crown prince Chu Yunhong to the state of Chu as a hostage, and he always passed the thin marriage letter.

However, Chu Yunhong is the only heir of Jun Hao, and he is also the only crown prince in Donglu. If something happens to Jun Hao, Chu Yunhong is not around. Donglu is dangerous! Wan Ning shook her head again and again, thousands of people were unwilling: "Now that the slave is not in the palace, the prince should also stay by the emperor's side!" It's too dangerous to send the prince away......"

"What I want is to win in the face of danger," Jun Hao narrowed his eyes and cut the railroad to the fore. Sending away the only prince in the eastern foothills to calm down the fighting, the state of Chu will definitely be at ease. thought that Donglu was the end of the road, so he sent the prince. At that time, the state of Chu will inevitably relax, and it is just the right time for Donglu to recuperate.

It's just that Jun Hao at that time won't know. His idea of making Chu Yunhong a hostage made Chu Yunhong hate Wanning. After the funeral of Jun Hao, Wanning's "secret is not mourned". made Chu Yunhong always think that it was a gentleman who was graceful and condensed. Send yourself away from the state of Chu, and Wanning can act as the government.

When I opened the window in the morning, a ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, and thousands of golden lights were mottled and dotted on the eaves of the palace. Those wandering memories slowly disperse in this thin autumn season. Magpies chirp in the branches for the upcoming wedding.

Gentle joy lingers in the air, echoing in the palace garden in the morning. The ethereal song passed into the warm pavilion, teasing the red word "Xi" on the wall of the warm pavilion. In front of the rhombic mirror, sat with a dull gaze. She hasn't slept well since last night.

looked at Xianyun who was grooming her in the mirror, and she also looked sullen. Wanning's heart was even more uncomfortable, she turned around and stroked Xianyun's hand, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm going to be a bride, but what about the wife of the general of Zhenguo in this dynasty......

Because Xiao Yihan had meritorious service in destroying the Song Dynasty, he was "detried" by the previous treason crime, so he was named "General of Zhenguo" by the imperial court, and he was the rank of the third grade. You can stay in Kyoto, and the mansion in Kyoto also hangs a plaque inscribed by Jun Hao himself. 100 acres of fertile land, dozens of slaves and children.

Isn't that something you should be happy about, why not be happy? Xian Yun held back her tears and sobbed: "I've been with the girl for so long, don't you know what the girl is thinking?" Whenever there is a difficult matter, the girl always carries it alone, and never tells outsiders ......"

When you are in the palace to do things, you naturally have to close your mouth and cover your ears. This sentence was told to her by Aunt Yan when she entered the Huanyi Bureau. It was only because of the concern in her heart that she lost herself. She doesn't think she's wrong, at least for now.

Wan Ning stretched out her hand, gently stroked Xianyun's red and swollen eyes from crying, and said with a low smile: "I'm leaving, I don't know how sooner or later I will come back...... Now that I have assigned you to the Zhengyang Palace, you are still in charge of the emperor's diet and daily life, you have to take care of the emperor, and I am good, rest assured......"

I remember that every time Wanning was expelled from the palace by Jun Hao in the past, she would be ordered like this. But in less than three days, Wan Ning will be taken back to the palace by Jun Hao in person. But this time, Xianyun felt that it was about the last time, and their master and servant laughed together.

The clock on the wall struck six times, and it was not even halfway through the morning, and it was still early before the sedan chair was boarded. Wan Ning straightened Xian Yun beside her, and said in a low voice: "You go to Zhengyang Hall and call Wang Lianying over." There are also Yang Lianyi and He Jing, who must not be discovered by the emperor! ”

Looking at the figure of Xianyun hurrying away, Wan Ning unconsciously tapped the table with her right index finger. After she leaves the palace, there will inevitably be changes in the palace. For example, Jiang Lingyan, who is in exile, will she take this opportunity to return to the palace?

The crown prince went to Chu as a hostage, and there will inevitably be plots along the way. It is also time to give a good explanation to Wang Qibo and let him protect the prince. And Qingluan is growing, will Jun Hao use the excuse of "eradicating the remnants of Xirong" to cut down Qingluan, Lianyi and Xianyun to the roots?

Chen Xueying's death, although the prince was suspicious, he could not produce evidence. But it is difficult for anyone to guarantee that one day the crown prince will ascend the throne, and whether the old case will be revealed. The key is the tortured Die'er, this Die'er betrayed Jiang Lingyan before, if he takes advantage of his absence in the palace this time and unites Jiang Lingyan to denounce himself, then his life will really be difficult to protect.

All these things are related to Wanning. If Jun Hao knew the reason and wanted to save his life, so he deliberately wanted to marry himself, it could be regarded as Jun Hao's affection and righteousness. is not in vain, Wanning's deep affection for Jun Hao. Thinking about it, these things are too much for Wanning to let go. She must explain everything clearly before leaving the palace.

The clouds are fluttering, and the clouds are gathering and scattering. The fallen flowers withered, like the withered old years. The palace is very lively, and they are all preparing for a graceful wedding. Only in this warm pavilion, it is as quiet as water. Wan Ning closed her eyes slightly, and she could hear the sound of flowers falling to the ground.

"Congratulations to the girl, the girl is well," Wang Lianying arched her hand, her eyes bent into a slit with a smile, "The old slave has already sent someone to take care of Die'er, but he doesn't know what to do." was about to report to the girl, but he didn't want the girl to pass on the old slave. Regarding Wang Lianying's thoughts, Wan Ning has already figured it out.

As long as Xianyun is by his side, he is not afraid that Wang Lianying will not listen to him. What's more, the original efforts to protect the lives of Xianyun and Qingluan were also the credit of Wanning. Wang Lianying won't remember that he wants to repay Wanning, so naturally he wants to help Wanning with some things.

Speaking of Die'er's disposal, Wan Ning already had an idea: "Stay and take strict care, and when the time comes, Jiang Lingyan will be lured out, and then Die'er will identify her as the murderer." At that time, there were all human and material evidence, and Jiang Lingyan's treason and murder of the queen were investigated and dealt with together, so Jiang Lingyan would be in a catastrophe.

"In my opinion, it's better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots," Lianyi on the side said his thoughts, "What if Die'er starts in advance?" The girl's idea is good, but she should also be wary of it. "Jiang Lingyan is scheming, what you said is right," Wan Ning nodded undeniably.

She looked at this lotus dress dressed in green clothes, thinking that when Xianyun was trapped in the palace, it was the lotus clothes who took good care of her, and now she is willing to enter the palace to take care of Qingluan. can be described as a "loyal servant": "Regarding Die'er, I will hand it over to Wang Lianying to be responsible, if Die'er Guo has abnormal behavior, you can cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

The meaning of these words is also to do what you think. It's just that when it's a last resort, the law of lotus clothes will be practiced again. This can be preserved, and it will not let Wang Lianying and Lianyi have differences. For Lianyi, Wan Ning still has something to explain.

"Qingluan will grow up slowly, you have to be wary of the emperor at any time, after all, you are all remnants of Xirong," Wan Ning reminded again, "The prince will return to China sooner or later, you should train Qingluan well during this period." In the future, you can let Qingluan serve the prince, even if the emperor wants to punish you, there will be Qingluan as a protective umbrella, do you understand? ”

Sure enough, it was a far-sighted idea, and Lianyi had an extra layer of admiration for Wanning. Regarding this, Lianyi really didn't think about it. But the prince went to Chu like this, will he forget Qingluan? Lianyi is still a little worried.

"It depends on your means," Wan Ning's words were meaningful, and the prince Chu Yunhong, who was only eleven years old. Just go away to Chu State like this, and it is natural to forget Qingluan. It's just a matter of how Lianyi teaches Qingluan and how to serve the prince.

Lian Yi nodded thoughtfully, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the jade jade on Qingluan's neck. When Qingluan was full moon, the prince gave it to him. The two of them are holding half by their side, which may become a red line in the future. The jadeite jade is emerald green all over, glowing with green light.

"He Jing is the most capable person," Wan Ning beckoned, asking He Jing to come closer. was previously sent to guard the spirit, but now he is told that he is "unwell" and temporarily returns to the palace to recuperate. It can be seen that He Jing, as the "old man" in the palace, is still afraid of her.

Hearing Wan Ning praise herself like this, He Jing couldn't help but be happy in her heart. But he still bowed his head respectfully and said: "Now that they all have tasks, I don't know what the slave can do for the girl?" "A sensible man!" Wan Ning couldn't help but smile, very satisfied with He Jing's words.

Wang Lianying, Xianyun and Lianyi are in charge of the affairs in the palace, so the outside of the palace will be handed over to He Jing. She happened to be guarding the queen's mausoleum, so that she could communicate with the palace. For example, where Jiang Lingyan is, and about the movements in Chu State, He Jing needs to be responsible.

"I have already inquired that in the afternoon, Wang Qibo will escort the crown prince to the Chu State," Wan Ning took a deep breath and said, "Your first task is to let Wang Qibo come to see me...... Wan Ning thought, taking advantage of this to win over Wang Qibo, she will have a chance to return to the palace.
