Xu is because he feels that the victory is in hand, and Xiao Qianye's mood these days is rarely much brighter. Even I have more time to go to the harem. Of course, as a diligent emperor, Xiao Qianye has absolutely no such problem as liking women, and most of the time he went to the harem to visit the two princes.

Xiao Chun drugged him at the beginning, and he didn't believe it originally, but in the past few years, although he has rarely set foot in the harem, it is not nothing, and the concubines in the palace have really never given birth to a son and a half daughter, and they have not even been pregnant. In this regard, the Tai Hospital was also helpless, and after a long time, Xiao Qianye gradually saw it. Fortunately, he still has two royal sons.

"Why do you have time to come here today?" Sitting at the bottom of Xiao Qianye was Concubine Zhu, who was dressed in a blue shirt and had a gentle temperament. Compared with the cautious Zhu family when you were just sent to the Yuejun Palace, Concubine Zhu, who has now given birth to a prince and is the highest-ranking concubine of the queen, has a more noble and calm temperament. But as gentle and obedient as before, he has never been carried away because he is in a high position. Treating Xiao Qianye is also very thoughtful and gentle, compared to the dignified queen who is now devoted to the eldest son of the emperor and the affairs of the harem, Xiao Qianye has a little more affection for Concubine Zhu in recent years.

Hearing her ask, Xiao Qianye raised her eyebrows and said, "What?" Can't I come to see Aifei? ”

Concubine Zhu hurriedly shook her head, opened her lips and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty said it with a smile, but Your Majesty has always said the wrong thing to the concubine who has always been busy with government affairs, don't blame Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Qianye waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'm just joking with my concubine." Why don't you see the emperor? Concubine Zhu smiled and said: "The emperor is going out to play, and the concubine asks people to take him out for a walk." His Majesty wanted to see him, and the concubine asked someone to take him back. ”

"Forget it." Xiao Qianye shook his head and said, "I'm just a little tired, thank you for coming here." ”

"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and you really should thank you. The queen mother is also very worried about Her Majesty's body. Concubine Zhu said as she walked over and raised her hand to gently press the temple on his forehead. Xiao Qianye sighed lightly and closed her eyes relaxedly. After a while, Fang slowly asked, "These days, has Mrs. Gao Yihou come to the palace to visit you?" "Two years ago, Xiao Qianye crowned Gao Yibo as Gao Yihou. Although Zhu Chuyu, the concubine with the highest hopes, had no hope, the concubine who had been unknown became a noble concubine, the biological mother of the prince, and the Gaoyi Marquis Mansion has been in the limelight in Jinling in recent years. With the Xie family of the top ten families in Jinling not asking about the world, the Qin family Taoguang is obscure, and the other families are either constantly fighting infighting, or their descendants are not good, but the Zhu family has taken advantage of the limelight of the concubine's daughter to rise to the top, if the foundation is not too thin, I am afraid that I will faintly win the first family in Jinling.

If there is no matter of King Yan, after some thoughts, when the two princes grow up, the power of the Zhu family will only be stronger, and it may be possible to replace the Qin and Xie families when the time comes.

However, although Gao Yihou took Concubine Zhu very seriously, Mrs. Gao Yihou did not see it that way. After all, she was not born by herself, and a concubine climbed to the position of a concubine, and her mother-in-law had to kneel down and salute when she saw it. And his own daughter is far away in Youzhou and unknown, I don't know how much she has suffered, how can Mrs. Gao Yihou look at Concubine Zhu? If her husband hadn't spoken, she would not have come to the palace to visit once.

Concubine Zhu naturally wouldn't sue her mother-in-law in front of Xiao Qianye, and said with a smile: "Mother came here a few days ago, and now that there are many things, the concubine asked her to take care of her father at home more, and don't enter the palace frequently if she has nothing to do." Xiao Qianye nodded and said, "It's still the concubine who is sensible." But has Mrs. Gao Yihou ever talked about the lord of Shanjia? ”

Concubine Zhu's hand paused, and soon continued as if nothing had happened, while saying, "Sister? Mother didn't talk about it? Could it be that something happened to my sister in Youzhou? ”

Xiao Qianye snorted lightly and said, "That sister of yours is a smart person, how could she let herself have an accident?" King Yan was seriously injured some time ago, and now she is in the Pengzhou military camp with the Yongcheng County Lord of King Yan's Mansion. At the beginning, she asked herself to marry in Youzhou" Concubine Zhu's heart trembled, and she quickly got up and knelt down in front of her, "The Zhu family has always been loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court, please ask Your Majesty to learn from it." ”

Xiao Qianye raised her eyebrows, "What is Concubine Ai for?" Get up. As he spoke, he leaned over and helped Concubine Zhu up. Concubine Zhu looked at Xiao Qianye's face and said softly: "My sister is a woman after all, if there is anything inconsiderate, I beg Your Majesty not to blame her." Xiao Qianye looked at Concubine Zhu's soft face, her eyes were deep, "The county lord of Shanjia has always been smart and does not let the county lord of Xingcheng be called a double hero among women. Ai Concubine, you said that the lord of Shanjia married to Youzhou, but did you ever think that King Yan would have a rebellion today? If King Yan becomes a prince, the lord of Shanjia should also be a prince and concubine. ”

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, how can you let Yan rebel succeed?" Concubine Zhu lowered her eyes and said softly: "Although my sister is famous, she is not a god after all. How could she know about something that even the ministers of the court and the central government had not expected? Xiao Qianye suddenly smiled and said, "It's that I think too much, don't take it to heart to concubine." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare."

Xiao Qianye stood up and said, "I'll go to the queen to have a look." The Duke of Eguo is on an expedition, and the queen must be worried in her heart. ”

Concubine Zhu didn't dare to keep him, and said softly: "The concubine respectfully sends His Majesty." ”

Looking at Xiao Qianye's back gradually moving away, knowing that she had disappeared at the gate of the palace, the soft smile on Concubine Zhu's lips gradually faded. There was a little more worry on her beautiful face, "Someone." ”

"Mother." A woman who looked like a palace maid walked in quickly and saluted.

Concubine Zhu said softly: "You personally went out of the palace to send a letter to your father, Your Majesty has some doubts about the loyalty of the Marquis of Gaoyi." ”

The woman was taken aback, "Niangniang, this"

"Don't worry." Concubine Zhu said: "After all, this palace gave birth to a prince for His Majesty, and His Majesty is a person who is affectionate, and he will not take the Zhu family lightly." You just have to tell your father, even if he wants to bet on both sides, don't be too obvious. Don't forget that the Zhu family is now in Jinling, even if Jinling City is about to be broken tomorrow, His Majesty can copy the Zhu family today. ”

"Yes, sissy." The woman nodded and said cautiously, "Niangniang, what else do you have to say?" ”

Concubine Zhu sighed, "Your Majesty has always been worried about military expenses. ”

The woman waited for a moment before she realized that Concubine Zhu really only had this sentence, and she didn't want to say anything more. Hurriedly nodded and said, "The slave and maid understand, the slave and maid are retired." ”

Watching her henchman go out, Concubine Zhu slowly sat back on the soft couch in the hall and sighed quietly.

Third sister, you have been smarter than others since you were a child, but you have chosen such a difficult path, and I also want to know which of us can have the last laugh. I didn't have a choice, since I was given to my majesty, I had to work hard to go up. If it is really in the end, I will not leave the Zhu family to you.

Except for Concubine Zhu's palace, Xiao Qianye's face was still dark. He believed that Concubine Zhu was a smart woman and would definitely bring what he wanted to say to Gao Yihou. As for Zhu Chuyu, hum! Xiao Qianye has never had a good impression of the woman who is smarter and more beautiful than her sister. A woman is as wise as the queen mother, and she is respectable. Smart as Concubine Zhu, is cute. But if it's Zhu Chuyu or Nangong Mo, it's hateful. When he married Zhu Chuyu to Youzhou, he thought that he had inserted a nail in Yanwang's Mansion, but in the past few years, Zhu Chuyu has never given him any useful news except for occasionally taking some dispensable news. Xiao Qianye had already understood that the woman had clearly bet on Yan Wangfu. It's just that I don't know if this is her own idea or the meaning of the entire Gaoyi Marquis Mansion. If Gao Yihou also wants to be a wallgrass, don't blame him for ignoring Concubine Zhu's feelings.

has two daughters, one is the daughter-in-law of King Yan, and the other is the concubine of the dynasty. No matter which side wins, the Gaoyi Marquis Mansion can't fall. They've got a good plan!

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" A man who looked like a guard hurried over and knelt down in front of him.

Xiao Qianye's heart sank, and he said sharply: "Say! ”

The guard said: "The battle report has just come from the front, and the army of the Duke of Eguo is under siege, and the whole army is trapped. I don't know if Xiao Qianye's face was too ugly, and the last few words of the guard were almost silent.

Xiao Qianye only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted. Seeing that the situation was not good, the chamberlain next to him hurriedly supported him and shouted loudly: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

"Shut up!" Xiao Qianye closed his eyes and said sharply, "I'm fine. Discuss the affairs of the ministers' imperial study! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Frightened by Xiao Qianye's voice, a chamberlain rushed out.

Xiao Qianye glared at the guards in front of him fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "You tell me clearly, how can the Duke of Eguo have 400,000 recruits, plus at least 600,000 horses." With just one Shang Rong, how much ability does he have to trap him?! Also, didn't the damn Shang Rong go to support Yingchuan?! The guard couldn't help but tremble, and said in a hurried voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Shang Rong Shang Rong's army turned back before leaving Qingyun Mountain. In addition, Yingchuan Xue Zhen led an attack on Luoshan and cut off the retreat of the Duke of Eguo. There is also Taining Wei, Taining Wei's 400,000 troops also appeared in Chenzhou. The Duke of Eguo was given by the Chenzhou Army and Tainingwei together"

"Ning, Wang!" Xiao Qianye's eyes were about to split, as if he wanted to bite King Ning and swallow it one bite at a time. He was tricked by King Ning and Wei Junmo! It is true that King Ning has formed an alliance with the Yan Wangfu, but Tai Ningwei has no intention of going to Pengcheng at all. Instead, he went south directly from Yuezhou to join the Chenzhou army! Wei Junmo had already guessed that he was going to fight not Yingchuan but Chenzhou!

Xiao Qianye trembled with anger, "Okay! Very good! Someone came, immediately ordered Nangong Huai, at any cost, to destroy Pengcheng's Youzhou army! Without the support of Tainingwei, I want to see how you can resist the real army! ”

Xiao Qianye's plan could not be implemented so smoothly, because once the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Duke of Eguo were annihilated, it would mean that a large area of the imperial court west of Jinling would have no troops to defend, and the Chenzhou army Tainingwei and even the Youzhou army led by Xue Zhen could cross the Li River and approach Jinling in two ways. At that time, even if they destroyed the Youzhou army in Pengcheng, as long as King Yan escaped Jinling, it would also be in danger. Even the place where Fuyun Valley had been calculated in a thousand ways failed to kill King Yan, and they really doubted that even if Pengcheng's Youzhou army was wiped out, they would be able to kill King Yan in the end.

In the imperial study, several old ministers were clamoring and clinging to their own opinions, and Xiao Qianye's forehead felt as if it was about to explode.

The blow to the imperial court is too great, and as the only remaining founding father who is as fruitful as Nangong Huai, the Duke of E will feel at ease as long as he is there. But now, the Duke of Eguo, who can be called a generation of war gods, has been defeated in the hands of a few unknown people. Shang Rong is very powerful, and Xue Zhen is also very powerful, yes, but no one will ever compare them with the Duke of Eguo. Because they're nowhere near that yet. But now that the myth of one of the gods of war in Great Xia has been shattered, how can people not feel panic?

"Enough!" On the throne above, Xiao Qianye slammed the table and said in a deep voice, "I've been arguing for so long, has the result come out?" ”

Zhou Xiang and Han Min didn't speak, and an old minister with a gray beard walked out tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the old minister thinks that at this time, he should negotiate peace with King Yan." ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Qianye was stunned for a moment, as if she had heard something incredible. stared fixedly at the old minister in front of him.

The old minister said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he should negotiate peace with King Yan." After years of fighting, the Duke of Hubei was defeated this time, and the imperial court had no strength to fight again. It is better to discuss and recuperate for the time being, for the future. ”

Xiao Qianye's expression was indifferent, "Then in your opinion, how should we negotiate peace?" ”

Lao Chen said: "Take the Li River as the boundary, and rule the river with the King of Yan." The Yan army is not good at water warfare, not to mention that after the past few years of fighting, the Yan army may not be better than us, and the king of Yan will definitely agree. Xiao Qianye glanced at the courtiers below, and said in a deep voice: "You also mean this?" ”

A few people looked disapproving, but many more lowered their heads. Obviously, he also supported the negotiation of peace, and in the past few years, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have far outperformed the Yan army, but they have lost more than they won. Seeing that he was about to cross the Li River. Once Lijiang and Jinling are in danger, not many people have the courage to bet that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have the ability to let King Yan die in Lijiang.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it must not be!" Han Min stood up and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Qianye's expression eased slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Han, please speak." ”

Han Min said sharply: "King Yan rebelled and was regarded as a rebellious minister and thief. As the orthodoxy of the world, how can His Majesty negotiate peace with the thief? At this time, isn't it just to announce to the people of the world, His Majesty has admitted that King Yan is on an equal footing with himself? There are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords in the country, please think twice. ”

Zhou Xiang also stepped forward, "Please think twice." What Lord Han said is extremely true, others may mention yì and harmony, but His Majesty is absolutely impossible. ”

Xiao Qianye never thought about peace from beginning to end, although his character was not decisive enough, but sometimes he was surprisingly stubborn. For example, in this world, the throne, either he sits or King Yan sits, and it is purely a matter of looking forward to wanting him to recognize the legitimacy of King Yan. This world belongs to me, and it was passed on to me by the emperor's grandfather! King Yan is just a rebel and a thief!

After being silent for a moment, Xiao Qianye raised his head again, and there was only a cold look in his eyes, "Immediately send troops to support the Duke of Eguo, and if you dare to mention peace, you will be killed!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty's court is already there, and there are no soldiers to adjust." The soldier reminded tremblingly.

Xiao Qianye's face sank again, and he was silent for a long time and finally said: "Order conscription, and the Thirteen Guards of Jinling will take over the defense of the entire Jiangnan." The herald ordered Nangong Huai to divide his troops led by Shi Jingxiang to support the Duke of Eguo. ”

"Your Majesty thinks twice, the thirteen guards of Jinling are for the purpose of defending Jinling. Send them out."

Xiao Qianye lowered his eyes and said, "Go and do it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Stand down." After ordering this, Xiao Qianye waved his hand a little tiredly.

"The ministers are leaving."

There was silence in the imperial study, and Xiao Qianye sat silently behind the imperial case. After a long time, Fang reached out and opened a brocade box placed next to the imperial case. At the bottom of the box was a letter that had been yellowed a little. Xiao Qianye looked at the letter in the box with a complicated expression, "Wei Junmo, did I lose again this time?" I don't believe you're going to keep going. ”

"Someone!"

"In, Your Majesty." A man in black appeared in the hall and knelt respectfully.

Xiao Qianye sneered and said, "Send the contents of this letter to the three sons of the Yan Palace." Don't miss a single one. ”

The man in black respectfully accepted the letter, did not open it but put it away directly, and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates obey the order, and the subordinates retire." ”

"Go ahead."

Somewhere north of the Li River, Gong Yuchen couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the secret letter that had just arrived in his hand. Soon he laughed out loud, "Haha, a good Wei Junmo, a good voice, a good Wei to save Zhao!" Seeing him like this, the man guarding him couldn't tell for a moment whether his pavilion master was angry or really happy. I had to ask cautiously, "Pavilion Master, what should we do now?" ”

Gong Yuchen suppressed his laughter, sighed and said, "Wei Junmo, he is really a rare ghost talent. This time, even the main seat was kept in the valley by him. Yes, it's not the first time that Tai Ning Wei has cooperated with Wei Junmo, how can this seat think that King Ning must personally lead the troops? How could you think that where King Ning is, Tai Ningwei will go? Lin Changfeng and Jian Qiuyang haven't seen anyone for a long time, so they must have returned to Chenzhou a long time ago, right? Shang Rong and Tai Ningwei are not familiar with each other, and they can't command Tai Ningwei. ”

"Yes, I just received the news that Lin Changfeng and Jian Qiuyang appeared in Taining Weizhong with His Royal Highness King Yan and Wei Gongzi's secret order."

Gong Yuchen smiled mockingly, and sighed: "Poor Yuanchun I was wise, and he had such a fiasco when he came, but he was not unjustly defeated." ”

"Pavilion Master, are we just going to forget it? Now that the main forces of Tainingwei and Youzhou have gone south, do we let the Northern Yuan

Gong Yuchen shook his head, "Wei Junmo has made an alliance with the Li Division, and now Meng Temu will not turn his back on him when he sees that the Youzhou military is very good." As long as the Northern Yuan soldiers and horses move, how could Meng Temu not take advantage of this time? ”

"What about us?" The man in black said.

Gong Yuchen lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, before he sighed: "Two painstaking designs in a row have come to naught, and it seems that even God is not on Xiao Qianye's side." Order, all our people on Xiao Qianye's side will be withdrawn, and all the dark lines will be lurking, and you must not act rashly without the order of this seat. ”

"This" Pavilion Master, do you want to pit Xiao Qianye again?

In fact, the withdrawal of their people had little impact on Xiao Qianye, after all, they were all in secret, there were not many of them in the court, and there were no generals in the army. However, being stabbed by an ally at this time, no matter how much Xiao Qianye is affected, he will vomit blood, right?

Gong Yuchen looked up into the distance and said with a faint smile: "As for us not in a hurry, what we have is time and opportunity." ”

The man in black nodded, they could only listen to the pavilion master's thoughts, but they could not oppose them. I remembered one more thing, "Pavilion Master, there is another piece of news." Xiao Qianye sent the secret guards in the palace to send a letter to the three sons of the Xiao family. ”

"Huh?" Gong Yuchen was interested, he was obviously in a very good state of mind, but after a while, he couldn't see Fang Cai's anger anymore.

The man in black said, "It's the letter left by the king of Pingchuan County."

"Oh? Interesting. Gong Yuchen touched his chin and laughed, "Three stars are the same as Yao, the hero was born, and the world changed hands." It was really right to let him leave such a letter at the beginning, and Xiao Qianye really didn't disappoint this seat. With this king, I want to see how Wei Junmo can coexist peacefully with the three of the Xiao family. Do you say that in the eyes of King Yan, is it the nephew with outstanding ability who is important or the son with mediocre qualifications who is important?

"Naturally, the son is important." The man in black said without hesitation. No matter how mediocre his son is, he is also his own son, and no matter how good his nephew is, he is also an outsider. King Yan can trust Wei Junmo because of his excellence, can he suppress his son without any position because of his excellence? Now it is also the great cause of King Yan that has not been accomplished, otherwise in a few years, I am afraid that it will be King Yan himself who will suppress Wei Junmo.

Gong Yuchen snorted lightly, "This time, if King Yan can still protect Wei Junmo regardless of a single qiē, this seat will serve him!" Looking at it, this seat is also curious about how this drama will end. Xiao Qianye, this waste, this time it finally has some use. ”

------Off topic------

It's late today, I'm sorry dear ones, Momoda
