Chapter 318: Human Face
(This is, please refresh in three hours and update to the latest chapter, thank you!) )
Thinking of this, Empress Shen was full of gratitude, and simply knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager, and said in a firm tone: "The concubine has nothing else to ask for, she just wants to stay with the imperial grandmother; I have nothing else to wish, I just hope that Xi Ye and the imperial grandmother can be safe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Seeing that she was sincere, the Empress Dowager knew that she had made a decision, nodded with satisfaction, reached out to help her, and said, "Good, good, good boy, get up quickly." ”
The queen got up obediently, supported the queen mother with her backhand, helped her sit back on the couch, and brought tea to the queen mother, as if nothing had happened, everything returned to the nature and tranquility of her service to the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager was sipping tea, but her eyes were looking into the distance and she groaned.
After a long time, she suddenly spoke: "Since the emperor is willing to let Xi Ye out of the palace, we have completed the first step. Ye'er is a good kid and knows how to exploit his father's weaknesses. ”
The Empress Dowager spoke calmly, and the Empress also listened calmly, as if she didn't realize that the person they were talking about was actually their grandson and husband who they treated as enemies.
The queen didn't say anything, but she felt a little more stable in her heart. She showed her heart to the Queen Mother, but how the Queen Mother would treat her sincerity was not something she could control. And at this moment, the Empress Dowager decided to speak up to her, that is, she really regarded her as her partner and ally, and included her in her camp.
The Empress Dowager naturally didn't know what the Empress was thinking at the moment, she sighed and continued: "It's a pity that I couldn't do my part and couldn't win his soldiers and horses for Ye'er. But since the east and west palaces have opened their words, it is not a bad thing, and there is no need to hide them in the future, and many things are much more convenient for us women who should have retreated behind the emperor.
"But the matter of soldiers and horses...... I had to find another way. ”
The Empress Dowager said, groaning.
The queen stood aside with her eyelids down.
After following the Empress Dowager for so many years, she knows the temperament of this old man who lives in the West Palace, and the best response at this moment is to be silent and listen.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager nodded lightly and said slowly: "The emperor's side is no longer available." But Xi Ye couldn't go to Gaoxiang Town alone. Since Zuo Qiyang went over there, he must have tried his best to pull Xin Zi to him. With his temperament, after knowing the emperor's attitude, he should have understood that this forbidden palace, and even the entire Western Kyoto, could not tolerate Xin Zi. Only by looking at that girl by his side can he feel most at ease.
Actually, that's what I mean. Since I can't go out of the palace, even if I want Xin Zi to come to my side, I can only suppress this thought. After all, the place where Xin Zi settled was extremely critical, and one point closer to the emperor would be one more point of danger of being surrendered to Dongyuan by him, and it would be inappropriate if it was too far away, after all, the people and forces that had the ability to compete with Dongyuan were concentrated around the hinterland of the west, and we were afraid that we would not be able to reach other borders.
"Therefore, in the past, Xi Ye took on the task of fighting against the soldiers and horses that Dongyuan was about to kill all the way, no matter what the emperor's attitude was just now, we must raise an army for him."
The Empress Dowager spoke eloquently, Empress Shen listened carefully, and when she finally talked about the place of the army, her eyes lit up, and she raised her head to look at the Empress Dowager Taihuang, her eyes were full of gratitude and recognition.
Knowing that Xi Ye was going to Gaoxiang to prove his position, knowing that it was rare for him to have such an insight, she couldn't stop her as a mother, but she didn't want to watch him pounce in danger and was in a dilemma, so when she heard the Queen Mother say this, she knew that she was the same as herself, and she felt extremely sorry for the prince, so she was half relieved in her heart, and nodded again and again.
The Empress Dowager was very relieved to see this, and said: "I have been thinking about this question for a long time, and I am afraid that I can only start from Dreadnought." He was stationed in Longwei Valley all the year round, and the emperor was afraid that he would have too close contacts with the crown prince and the West Palace and collude, so the troops allocated to him were extremely limited. Before the moat, the demon witch was ready to move, not to mention, there were many orcs on Longji Mountain, I heard that the orcs were huge, although they did not wear armor during the battle, they seemed to have copper skin and iron bones invulnerable, but also with a brute force, with one enemy hundred, if there were really some beast forces trying to go down the mountain to provoke, even if it was only a very small part, the troops brought by Fearless from the south were simply unable to resist.
So he secretly began to implement a policy of universal alert near the Longwei Valley, and all men who were crowned must regularly participate in training activities organized by the local garrison, in order to strengthen the defense capabilities of the common people in case of emergency.
"At that time, he wrote a detailed excerpt to the emperor, and I have also seen the excerpt, and every rule is very mature, and it can be seen that the fearless child was extremely attentive in the years in Longwei Valley. At that time, I thought that the kid was mistakenly sent to the north by the emperor, but he was in the right place, and he would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. At that time, my only fear was that the emperor would be afraid that Dauntless's power in the north would grow stronger and stronger, and shake his own throne, after all, it was because of this that Dauntless was transferred to the north for ten years.
"But at that time, contrary to my expectations, the emperor had no objection to this at all, looking at the unfolding and looking at the loose writing with an arm's length of sparse music, the emperor actually just smiled lightly, praised the fearlessness and two sentences of governing the army in a good way, and the people and the people had a way to remove this stubble.
"Later, I thought about this matter repeatedly, and thought that perhaps the emperor thought that Longwei Valley was a barren land, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and everyone from the officials to the common people were lazy, and they must not respond to the fearless call at all, and the new border policy would definitely not be implemented, and it would soon end without a problem, so I put my mind at ease and let him do it.
But the dauntless kid was indeed a general, not only did he run the new deal in full swing, but also mobilized the enthusiasm of the locals, and even many locals spontaneously organized themselves to ask to be brought under the command of intrepid people. Seeing that the number of soldiers stationed on the border was increasing, it was quadrupling from the 5,000 when Dreadnought first arrived. That's the number that Intrepid reported to me a few years ago, and I don't know what the situation is now, but the number must have exceeded my expectations. ”
But at that time, to my surprise, the emperor had no objection to this at all, looking at the unfolded and writing an arm-long sparse music, the emperor actually just smiled lightly, praised the fearlessness and two sentences of good governance of the army, and the people had a way to expose this stubble.
