Concubine Shu looked at him who was as high-spirited as a green pine under the danxie, and couldn't help but nod slowly.

King Chu suddenly smiled again, walked up to her and picked up the book on the couch, and said, "An Ninghou and they are already competing for Shen Mi now, and I am also going to make a move." That's what it means to go out of the house today. If the mother concubine is bored and panicked on weekdays, she will also find a mother and daughter from Xuanhua's family to enter the palace to talk.

"I believe that my father will also be happy to see the relatives of your favored ministers who value him so much."

Concubine Shu remembered that she was stabbed by Shen Yan that day, and her brows couldn't help frowning: "I announce them, will they come?" It's coming, I'm afraid that the girl will be enough for me. ”

When the King of Chu heard this, his eyebrows and eyes opened even more, "Mother concubine is talking about Shen Yan?" ”

"Who else would it be if it wasn't her?" Concubine Shu's brow furrowed even deeper.

The King of Chu groaned, looked up with a smile and said, "I admire her very much." ”

Concubine Shu turned her head to look at him, with a look of disgust.

Shen Yan didn't know that King Chu looked up to her so much, basically there was only one thing on her mind now, that is, how to protect the Hua family. If there is something else that must be said, it is how to avenge the great revenge of the previous life by the way. Now that things have come to this point, she should first figure out the emperor's mind before anything else.

The next morning, Shen Yan learned that Gu Zhicheng was at home, so he went to the Rongguo Mansion again.

Gu Zhicheng was instructing Gu Song in the art of war, and when he saw that she was holding a cat in her arms for the first time, he couldn't help but say: "Can't you go out of the workshop, it's boring?" ”

"Who said that? I have serious business to find Uncle Gu. Shen Yan stuffed the cat into Gu Song's arms, "Please help me get some food for him." Gu Song looked at the cat in his hand, his arm stiffened for a long time before he softened, then glared at Shen Yan lightly, and hugged it angrily.

Gu Zhicheng crossed his waist with a strange expression, and said: "He is the most impatient with these cats and dogs, why does he listen to everything as soon as you give it to him?" ”

Shen Yan rolled up his sleeves: "That's because I've never beaten him on the board." Saying that, she took two more steps forward and said seriously: "Uncle Gu, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Gu Zhicheng saw her solemn expression, and couldn't help but get up, thought for a while, and said, "Then go to your aunt's house?" ”

Shen Yan nodded, and then went with him to the main room where the Qi family was.

When the Qi family heard that they had something to say, they retreated to the side hall and crookedly, leaving only a few maids standing under the curtain.

"What is it that even your brother Song has to avoid?" The two compartments sat down, and Gu Zhicheng opened his mouth with kind eyes. He knew that the two of them had a good relationship now, she made up a script to teach Gu Song to learn calligraphy, and Gu Song didn't forget to leave her a copy if he had anything to eat. He was happy to see the two of them as close as brothers and sisters.

Shen Yan trembled because of the three words "Brother Song", held the tea for a long time before smiling, and then cleared his throat and turned to the topic: "Gu Song is a good boy, but what I told Uncle Gu is not convenient for him to know for the time being." "That kid treats Han Ji as a god, if he knows that she is calculating Han Ji, what if she accidentally reveals the news?

Judging from the relationship between Han Ji and the King of Chu that Gu Song said, Han Ji and the King of Chu should be in the process of progressing smoothly now, and they are on fire, which means that the world will continue along the trajectory of the previous life. After Han Ji hooked up with the King of Chu, his strength would be invisibly strengthened a lot, and he would have more hope for stopping the war at the border pass.

So she can get to work too.

Gu Zhicheng also sneered when he heard this "good boy", and then said, "What is so important?" ”

Shen Yan cleared his throat and began to say, "Actually, it's still the battle of Eastern Liao.

"According to what my father said, that day in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor summoned him to the palace for questioning after listening to Guo Gelao's account, and then issued an order on the spot, so that the military department issued a decree to the northwest according to my father's opinion, I don't know if Uncle Gu thinks that how the emperor did this is of course to agree with my father's strategy, but it will seem a little hasty to make a decision on such an important matter without convening the cabinet to discuss and discuss?"

Gu Zhicheng paused slightly, and said: "If I ignore this matter, I can close the door and treat it as if it didn't happen." Besides, your father's proposal for the establishment of the Emperor Guo Ge has already thought it through, so he will recommend it to the emperor, and we all think that this is a good strategy, and it doesn't matter too much if the emperor doesn't order the cabinet to discuss it. ”

Shen Yan frowned, "Having said that, I heard my father say that the emperor also asked him at that time if it was appropriate to send troops to Eastern Liao, so it seems that the emperor actually has intentions for Eastern Liao." In all fairness, Uncle Gu felt that someone like the emperor - that is, someone who didn't trust others so easily, was it really possible for him to completely give up this idea because of my father's words? ”

Gu Zhicheng muttered: "Even if the emperor is suspicious, but that is also for the hero, in foreign wars, he has no reason to do this." ”

But after saying that, he frowned again, even if it was theoretically impossible for the emperor to joke about military affairs, but Shen Yan's words made him a little vigilant for no reason, she has always seen things very accurately, and the emperor's heart is so deep, if she is accurate again, he really has this kind of thought?

He touched his chin and looked at Shen Yan, only to see her looking over with her hands on her cheeks, as if waiting for him to continue, then he sat up straight and said, "Then what do you want to say?" ”

"I just want to say, if the emperor really has plans to use troops against Eastern Liao, I don't know what Uncle Gu thinks the odds are?"

"The odds?" Gu Zhicheng smiled, "Then it depends on how you fight." If the 120,000 soldiers of the military camp and the middle military camp are tilted, they can still fight. ”

The Eastern Liao Mongols fought on horseback for many years, and because of geography and customs, they all trained their brave physique, coupled with their strong soldiers and horses, even if the Central Plains soldiers were familiar with the art of war, they could lose physically after all. This kind of tactic of taking advantage of the fire to rob is mainly based on fighting strength, and if there are not many people, it is really difficult to win.

Shen Yan sighed: "Then the Duke of Wei will be miserable." ”

Gu Zhicheng straightened his shoulders: "Wei Guogong? ”

"Isn't it?" Shen Yan asked rhetorically.

Gu Zhicheng looked at her deeply and fell silent.

Now the person guarding the town in the northwest is Wei Guogong, originally according to the established itinerary, after the kingdom of the Liao king in August, he needed to return to the court, and the emperor accepted Shen Mi's construction, this time taking advantage of the battle of Eastern Liao to negotiate peace, then Wei Guogong will at least have to wait until the matter is over to come back.

And if, according to their thoughts just now, the emperor secretly ordered the Duke of Wei to send troops to fight, then how could the tens of thousands of people at the border pass led by the Duke of Wei be able to defeat so many soldiers and horses under the command of Wuyun?

Even if he could take advantage of their civil strife and melee to consume part of their strength, after all, the Zhou army would go out of the pass to fight against the Eastern Liao, which had the best geographical advantages, and no matter what, there would be a huge disparity in combat effectiveness.

If the emperor wants to win steadily, then he can only order the rear military camp under the jurisdiction of the Gu family to send troops to help, but if he gives an order, he will inevitably be opposed by the cabinet ministers first, and if he does not get the support of the cabinet, the emperor will give an order in vain. And if he is determined to fight, he can only secretly order Wei Guogong to go all out without alarming the court.

In this way, doesn't it respond to Shen Yan's sentence that Wei Guogong is miserable?

Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Yan awe-inspiringly, this girl had even thought of this, how much ability did she have?

The relationship between the four major princes is like brothers, because they joined hands to fight down, and everyone has a common wish for the Great Zhou Wendìng, that is, I hope that the blood they spill can be exchanged for the eternal peace of the descendants, especially in the case of the death of the old man of the meritorious man, the four families are even more closely united.

If there is an accident for the Duke of Wei, although Han Ji can also take it, it is a big loss, and no one will be happy to see him die. And even if he survived, relying on the tens of thousands of people under his command alone, he didn't think about how many chances he had of winning. When the matter comes out, the cabinet will blame the emperor again, and the emperor is afraid that it may be pushed back to the head of Wei Guogong......

No matter what, as long as the emperor has the intention of sending troops, there is a chance that the Duke of Wei will be unlucky.

He glanced at Shen Yan again, touched the tea on the table, and held it in his hand.

"That's a bit unusual."

"That's natural, I won't tell Uncle Gu if there is no basis." Shen Yan nodded, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Moreover, what I'm still worried about is that the emperor may not only have intentions for Dongliao.

"Uncle Gu might as well think about it, no matter whether the Duke of Wei dies or carries the black pot for the emperor, the Duke of Wei's Mansion can't please anything, will the emperor do this, will it be a plan to kill two birds with one stone? If the Duke of Wei wins the battle, then the emperor will have confidence in front of the elders, and if he loses, then he can also suppress a nobleman. In any case, it is obviously good for his emperor. ”

Although the nobles did not put as much pressure on the emperor as the cabinet, the prosperity of the nobles was not necessarily a blessing for the emperor's descendants. Judging from the present, Marquis An Ning, as the uncle of the country, is not taken seriously by the nobles, so it is conceivable that in the future, King Zheng will ascend the throne, and the nobles will be more convinced by the descendants and the prince.

On the other hand, even if everyone is brave and loyal, will he rest assured that the emperor who is suspicious of his heart disease?

The nobles of the Zhao family are naturally inconvenient to behead, but they can't let their arrogance go on so arrogantly. Do they think that now is still the time for everyone to drink wine and eat meat together, and they can call each other brothers and sisters? Now that there is a system of monarchs and ministers, if the heroes are disobedient, of course they will be beaten.

So in retrospect, in the previous life, when the Rongguo Mansion later fell to Gu Zhicheng as the head of the house, some things that were not taken seriously at all now were later brought to the front of the emperor by ginseng, and the emperor also occasionally had a small complaint, which may be related to the emperor's desire to concentrate imperial power?
