"Why did Your Majesty let the young lady go to Wansheng Palace?" Hongling asked in a low voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'll go back as soon as I go, and take care of Your Highness." After Xiao Junwan finished speaking, he went to Wansheng Palace with Gonggong He.

Emperor Taihong summoned him, presumably Concubine Yi confided the truth to Emperor Taihong, Concubine Yi did not want to monopolize this credit out of kindness, but now Xiao Junwan didn't know how to explain to Emperor Taihong, thinking about it while walking.

Xiao Junwan stood in front of the gate of Wansheng Palace and waited for the transmission, but her heart went up and down, and when the door of the palace slowly opened, she saw that there was no one else except Emperor Taihong and Concubine Yi, she was slightly relieved, it was not difficult to perfunctory Emperor Taihong, I was afraid that Emperor Taihong had found other ministers.

Xiao Junwan walked into the hall and bowed: "Slaves and maids see Your Majesty, Concubine Yiniang." ”

"Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I heard Concubine Yi say that you found out that Zhou Guo was secretly preparing to attack my Qi State?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes."

"Then how did you know about Zhou Guo's actions?"

Xiao Junwan said slowly: "The slave maid occasionally heard about the marriage of Yan Zhou, so she had this association. ”

"Oh? What is the relationship between the marriage of Yan and Zhou and the sending of troops by Zhou? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave's hometown is in Shuiyun County, at the junction of Qi and Yan, where there are many traveling merchants between Qi and Yan, so the affairs of Yan Guo, the slave and maid have heard of it from time to time, in fact, Zhou Guo asked Yan Guo for marriage last year, but Yan Guo refused."

"Go on."

"Since Yan Guo has refused, it should not agree again, but now he has agreed, there must be a plan between the two countries, the slave has read the history books, and knows that if the two countries are aligned, most of them will join forces to attack other countries, and now Yan is attacking Wei Guo, and there is no time to start a war against Qi State, so it should be Zhou State who is ready to move."

"Then how can you conclude that Zhou Guo is fighting my Qi Guo's idea?"

"Zhou State is connected to the south of Qi State in the north, Yanxi and Lu State in the east, Lu State is weak, if Zhou State wants to attack Lu State, there is no need to spend a lot of time, so it will never be three or four times to ask Yan State to ally with it, it can be seen that Zhou State has eaten leopard gall and wants to bite Qi State, but he has no confidence, so he has to ask Yan State for support."

"Your Majesty, Xiao Shangshi is so wise, and her concubines admire her, she can deduce from the marriage of Yan and Zhou that the Zhou State is going to send troops to our Qi State, which is difficult for even the ministers of the court to think of."

Emperor Taihong stroked his beard, nodded and said, "It's not easy for a woman to know the situation in the world and figure out so much. ”

"The slave maid is still shallow, and His Majesty and Niangniang have praised it."

Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the credit for this time is all in Xiao Shang's service, and the concubine is just passing on a word." ”

"Now that you've thought of this, let's talk about how Qi Guo should deal with it."

Xiao Junwan bowed his head and said softly: "The slave and maid dare not influence the holy will, nor dare to invite credit, everything is due to Your Majesty's clear judgment, if it is not for Your Majesty's wisdom, no matter how much the slave and maid think, it is useless." ”

"Since Your Majesty has opened Chrysostom, Xiao Shangshi said that it is okay."

"I want to hear your idea."

Xiao Junwan said at this time: "Zhou Guo's quest for the Yan State Alliance can only show that Zhou Guo's courage is insufficient, so he just wants Yan Guo to support him, but Yan Guo is now bent on attacking Wei Guo, and the slave maid guesses that although Yan Guo agreed to marry, if Zhou Guo and Qi Guo really fight, Yan Guo may not help." ”

"You mean, this battle, Qi Guo can win?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid can't predict the victory or defeat, but the slave maid thinks that the victory is not small, since Your Majesty has insight into Zhou Guo's moves, and Zhou Guo's confidence is insufficient, now as long as Your Majesty strikes first, beyond Zhou Guo's expectations, Zhou Guo will definitely mess up."

"The little palace maid can have such insight, I can be regarded as an eye-opener today."

"It is Your Majesty's wisdom that allows the people of Qi to live and work in peace and contentment from the chaos of war, and the slave and maid can concentrate on studying when they are at home.

Xiao Junwan knew that Emperor Taihong liked nothing more than these exaggerated words, and sure enough, when Emperor Taihong heard this, he was happy and laughed, only when Emperor Taihong was happy, no one would hold her accountable for discussing state affairs.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is going to ask for a reward for Xiao Shang's servant."

"Reward, reward." Emperor Taihong smiled and said, "According to Concubine Ai, what is the best reward for her?" ”

"Xiao Shangshou left her hometown to become a female official in the palace, she doesn't need gold, silver and pearls, she has only known people, and other female officials can't do it, and now she is just a monk, and she seems to be a little condescending."

Above the Shang Shi is the Shang Palace of the Six Bureaus of the Inner Palace, if Emperor Taihong is promoted to the rank of Xiao Junxuan, it means that she will move out of the Yuning Palace and go to the Inner Mansion to take charge of one of the six bureaus, and now there is no quieter place in the palace than the Yuning Palace, not to mention that she has taken care of Qin You for a long time, and she has long treated him as a younger brother, and she can't rest assured when she leaves.

Xiao Junwan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid dare not invite merit, and the slave and maid are willing to stay in Yuning Palace and continue to serve the four princes." ”

Concubine Yi understood Xiao Junwan's thoughts, and Qin You was also pitiful, so she said: "Yes, the concubine almost forgot, if Xiao Shangshou goes to another place, the four princes may not get used to it." ”

"Then let's just give Bao Tian." Emperor Taihong said.

The inner supervisor then presented the jewel-embedded flower and took off the silver flower on Xiao Jun's bun and put it on her hairpin.

"Slave and maid, thank you for the grace of the Emperor."

Xiao Junwan came out of Wansheng Palace, and attracted the attention of people who came and went to the palace all the way.

She just changed her hair accessories, and within an hour, the situation seemed to be different.

Xiao Junjuan used to wear a hairpin is a silver flower of the Shang servant, and the flower Tian embedded with gems is a thing of the Shang Palace, and Emperor Taihong does not give her a title and gives Bao Tian, indicating that although she is a Shang servant, she is in the same Shang Palace.

After taking a look, the palace maid who walked by the side of the inner eunuch lowered her head, walked on both sides of the palace wall, and gave the middle way to Xiao Junwan.

For Xiao Junwan, this is far from enough.

Should have come or not, Xiao Junwan expected that now she would have to give someone to go down the stairs.

Xiao Junwan went to the flower shelf in the imperial garden, and when she saw the man teasing the birds under the shelf, she only pretended to walk by accident.

"Lord Xiao stays."

Xiao Junwan turned around, sure enough, it was Ding Shangshi beside Concubine Hui, and Ding Shangshou's voice also verified Xiao Junwan's conjecture, she hadn't arrived yet, the movement of the eyeliner was quite fast, and Concubine Hui already knew what happened in Wansheng Palace just now.

"Ding Shang is polite, what's the matter?"

"Concubine Hui is invited."

Xiao Junwan bowed his head lightly, turned around and walked towards the flower stand.

When Concubine Hui saw her coming, she put down the bird food box in her hand, greeted her with a smile, glanced at the new ornaments on Xiao Junwan's head, and said, "The palace hasn't had time to congratulate Xiao Shangshi." ”

"Where does the mother speak, the slave doesn't dare to be it."

"Last time, the palace didn't think about it, and I disappointed Xiao Shangshi's heart, Xiao Shangshi, don't go to my heart."

"Niangniang's words are serious, the slave's mind of choosing Liangmu has never changed, Niangniang doesn't believe in slaves, which means that the slave's sincerity is not enough, don't complain about Niangniang." (To be continued.) )
