Although he knew that Emperor Dongyan was critically ill and could die at any time, An Rong didn't expect it to be so soon.

You must know that when she died in her previous life, Emperor Dongyan was still alive and well, and he died at least six years early, which is too unusual.

An Rong felt that the death of Emperor Dongyan was inseparable from Prince Dongyan.

Prince Dongyan was imprisoned by Xiao Zhan in his previous life, and he failed to fulfill his filial piety in front of Emperor Dongyan, and if he was far away, his feelings would be estranged, and there were many princes who brushed up on his feelings in front of Emperor Dongyan, and it was difficult to guarantee that Emperor Dongyan would depose the prince's heart, these rumors were heard by An Rong in his previous life.

The prince of Dongyan suffered in the Great Zhou, but the emperor of Dongyan was unsympathetic to him, but he was afraid that the father-son relationship, which was originally political, had already been worn out.

The Prince of Dongyan is fortunate to be reborn, he cannot repeat the mistakes of his previous life, if he wants supreme power, Emperor Dongyan must die.

It's just that he plots to seize the throne, why does he want to marry Princess Beilie Chaotian?

What she likes is Gu Qingyan, hasn't she already handed over Gu Qingyan to her?

What An Rong didn't expect was that Emperor Beilie actually agreed to Prince Dongyan's courtship.

Princess Chaotian was married to the prince of Beiliemo earlier, and they all got on the sedan chair, and they only had to worship in the church.

An Rong thought of the real princess Chaoqing, she had a deep affection for Shangguan Hao, but now she was sent to kiss, I don't know what will happen to her?

There is also Xiao Zhan, Dongyan and Beilie Alliance, both fists are pressed together, can Xiao Zhan parry?

And those four cities, won't they be the Great Zhou cities captured by Dongyan, right?

The Great Zhou vowed to recover the lost city, but Dongyan gave the city away in a grand manner. This is contempt for the Great Zhou!

An Rong was distracted, and she was followed by two guards.

An Rong blocked there and didn't go. The two guards looked at each other.

Eventually, one of them coughed lightly twice. An Rong didn't hear it at all.

The other man was bold, pressed his hand on the stairs, and as soon as his body spun, he spared Anrong.

There is no way, they have to protect the emperor inch by inch.

This scene, the emperor who was sitting saw it, and when the guards came over, Zuo Xiang asked, "What's wrong with Grandma Xiao Biao?" ”

The corner of the guard's mouth twitched. "It's like I'm wandering."

There was a black line on the forehead of the left prime minister, "Can you wander up the stairs?" ”

Thinking that the emperor was talking to Xiao Zhan, when Xiao Zhan told him about the matter, he suddenly became distracted, and it was really nothing to go up the steps to get distracted.

Zuo Xiang and the emperor looked at An Rong and saw that she had been motionless for a long time, and the black lines on her face couldn't stop falling.

After a long time, An Rong continued to climb the steps.

She walked over to the table and saluted the emperor. Then he sat down on the side.

Zuo Xiang just looked at An Rong like that, you must know that An Rong is really bold in doing this, he can sit down, it is the emperor's favor.

The emperor didn't let her sit. She sat intuitively.

Seeing Zuo Xiang looking at her, An Rong sneered and said, "I don't have a place to sit ......." ”

After speaking. Tell the maid to serve good tea.

The emperor glanced at An Rong several times before he said. "You and Zhan'er seem to be easily distracted?"

An Rong's face was embarrassed, "Your Majesty." It's not that I'm going to get distracted, it's that I have to do it. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and Zuo Xiang asked curiously, "I have no choice?" ”

It's the first time he's heard that there is still a last resort for distraction, could it be that he has a disease that is easy to wander?

An Rong nodded and said, "It's a last resort, sometimes my eyes suddenly flash a scene, I can't control it at all, and last time I almost rolled down the steps because of a sudden distraction." ”

Hearing An Rong say this, the emperor let out a long sigh, An Rong said this, the emperor believed it a little, if it was not a last resort, Xiao Zhan would not have been able to act in front of so many ministers, and take the emperor's words as a deaf ear.

The emperor was curious, "What have you seen?" ”

An Rong looked surprised, and said half-truthfully, "I don't know what's going on, when Xianggong is in danger or trouble, I can see him, just now, I saw the military camp in Yingcheng, and Xiangcheng is worried about the alliance between Dongyan and Beilie." ”

It's not that An Rong wants to leak secrets, it's really necessary.

She confessed that people would not suspect her of anything, and she hid it, but made people suspicious.

If she can gain the emperor's trust, she may be able to help Xiao Zhan convey some military information to the emperor, and she may ask the court to help in time.

It's just that An Rong's words, to the emperor and Zuo Xiang, are undoubtedly fantastical.

How can a person see someone thousands of miles away?

Is this possible?

The emperor took a sip of tea, he only thought An Rong was joking, and found a reason to fool him.

Zuo Xiang was curious, "Prince Dongyan robbed the princess of Chaotian who was going to marry the prince of Beiliemo, and the feud between Beilie and Dongyan can be said to be incompatible, how to form an alliance?" ”

An Rong shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, "Zuo Xiang, the two countries intersect, this time, that time, Emperor Dongyan died, the prince of Dongyan ascended the throne, and he hired four cities to marry the princess of Beilie Chaotian, I don't know what kind of considerations Beilie was for, but Beilie agreed." ”

Saying that, An Rong paused for a moment and said, "And before the Xianggong hurried to the border pass, the generals at the border pass did not accept him at all, and they wanted to compete with the Xianggong to win the position of the commander, and also took out the debts borrowed by General Ao before, and asked the Xianggong to write a fold to the emperor, and the Xianggong handed over this matter to the king of prayer, if the emperor did not believe it, the two news would be transmitted to Kyoto in a few days." ”

An Rong's words are conclusive, and he has a nose and eyes, so he can't believe it.

Even the emperor was a little convinced, because Xiao Zhan would encounter obstacles when he went to the border to become a general, which was obvious.

The general is arrogant, even if Xiao Zhan is from the Xiao Guo Mansion and full of scheming, but in the eyes of those battle-hardened generals, he is nothing.

But if what An Rong said is true, then wouldn't Beilie and Dongyan form an alliance, wouldn't the Great Zhou be in danger?

The Great Zhou fought against Dongyan, it was already reluctant, and I still thought that Dongyan and Beilie had enmity, maybe Dazhou could form an alliance with Beilie, even if it was not an alliance, there would be a common enemy......

The more he thought about it, the more Zuo Xiang's face sank, "Your Majesty." If that's the case, with the strength of my Great Zhou. How to fight against the allied forces of Dongyan and Beilie. ”

The emperor's brows tightened, and he glanced at An Rong a few times. Later, he said, "This matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

For such a big matter, the emperor should immediately return to the palace and convene all the ministers to discuss.

But the emperor had neither a twist nor a witness in his hand, just a flash in An Rong's eyes, whether what she said was true or false was not yet known.

Who knows if An Rong is thinking about it day and night, and thinking too much. There was a hallucination.

However, it is better to believe that such a thing is not credible.

No, the emperor originally planned to come out to relax, who would have thought that An Rong would tell such a big military situation, no, the emperor and Zuo Xiang discussed the military situation while drinking tea.

Before the major military events, what is the little dance counting?

The two discussed. She doesn't shy away from An Rong, she can tell such a big thing, obviously her heart is towards Da Zhou, and besides. Xiao Guogong's Mansion is on the battlefield from Xiao Laoguo to Jingbei Hou Shizi, and Xiao Guogong's loyalty to Da Zhou. The emperor categorically didn't doubt it, but he couldn't stand the domineering of Old Duke Xiao.

An Rong took a sip of tea. Don't dare to have that leisure to look downstairs, even if it is Ning Xian Rou who is performing downstairs.

It's not. Zuo Xiang asked An Rong, "In the opinion of Xiao Biao's young grandmother, Dongyan and Beilie have formed an alliance, what should I do in Da Zhou?" ”

An Rong was embarrassed, she thought she had heard something wrong, such a big thing, and asked her what a young grandmother do?

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and women are not allowed to interfere in politics.

Seeing An Rong's embarrassed expression, Zuo Xiang was also embarrassed, he seemed to ask very naturally, and asked without thinking about it, how could the young grandmother know how to deal with these border matters, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The emperor frowned and said, "But it's okay to say it." ”

An Rong Sicen for a few seconds, and said boldly, "Although Dongyan and Beilie are allied, but the trust between each other, I think it should be minimal, Dongyan is ambitious, and has the ambition to encroach on the whale swallowing the Great Zhou, how can Beilie sit back and watch Dongyan be strong, besides, if Dongyan really wants to take my Great Zhou, I am afraid that it will also suffer heavy losses, and then Beilie may be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, I think Dongyan and Beilie should guard against each other, the alliance is only on the surface, what I am afraid of is that they will discuss privately and divide my Great Zhou equally." ”

Since they don't trust each other completely, they can see the seams and find ways to make their suspicions grow bigger and bigger, so that they can't form an alliance, but form an enmity.

An Rong really wanted to say that only Xiao Zhan could fight against the Empress Dowager Dongyan and Shangguan Hao, and An Rong hoped that Xiao Zhan would have as many soldiers and horses in his hands as possible.

It's just that I can only think about this from the bottom of my heart, but I don't dare to say it.

Maybe it made the emperor suspicious, and she said that just for Xiao Zhan to ask for military power.

"Dongyan can form an alliance with Beilie, and my Great Zhou can naturally do it, but they are on the surface, we can do it in private, the emperor should know better than anyone how many people covet the throne," An Rong said boldly.

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Do you have a candidate for an alliance in your heart?" ”

An Rong's eyes blinked slightly, and he shook his head and said, "No, but I think there should be very few princes who don't want to be emperors, I heard Xianggong say that the death of Emperor Dongyan seems to be a little strange." ”

So far, all she knows is Xiao Zhan, and it is easier to be convincing to push so much of her knowledge onto Xiao Zhan.

Actually, that's enough.

The emperor died early, and either the traitorous ministers sought power and codification, or the prince sought power and codification.

If it is found out that the death of Emperor Dongyan was committed by the prince of Dongyan, he killed the king and killed his father, and the ministers spurned him, and when the time comes, he will be deposed from the throne, no matter how big his ambition is, it will be useless.

There is also Beilie, and Anrong's mention yì is to sow discord.

After hearing this, Zuo Xiang's eyes lit up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this plan is feasible." ”

The emperor nodded, "Such a big thing has to be done by sending a credible person to do it, and there is someone in the court who can take on this important task?" ”

As soon as the emperor asked, Zuo Xiang was dumbfounded.

There are a lot of unconscious officials in Da Zhou, and they can't find out the case in Da Zhou, and they even went to Dongyan to investigate the case, isn't it a joke?

An Rong said, "Your Majesty, if you want to talk about the ability to investigate cases, I think Zhou Yushi can do it." ”

The emperor nodded, "Zhou Yushi is upright, and he has investigated the case meticulously, and he has indeed cracked many unjust, false and wrongful cases. ”

Zuo Xiang said, "But a few days ago, the emperor sent him to Yunzhou to inspect ....... ”

Yunzhou?

Isn't that the fiefdom of King Qi?

She remembered that in her previous life, Zhou Yushi went to Suizhou, which is next to Yunzhou, to inspect, and when she came back, she was impeached and said that he was greedy for ink, and finally died unjustly!

The emperor sent him to Yunzhou, this is to suspect King Qi, did he check him?

An Rong was silent, she said everything she could.

Zuo Xiang and the emperor didn't say anything, because the third prince came to say goodbye.

An Rong has the leisure to watch the competition.

At this point, the dance is over.

The next competition is piano skills.

At this time, on the test field, there were only fifteen ladies left.

The scores of the girls were written on the sign and hung for public display.

Looking at the brand, An Rong couldn't help but marvel, the top few were actually the ladies who came to the draft from outside Kyoto.

In addition to the daughters of officials, those girls are the first local beauties or the first talented women.

After a short rest, the competition began.

The sound of the piano is ethereal and pleasant, like a waterfall pouring all over the green silk, like a mountain stream, like a bird in the clouds, flying low for a while and brushing the green grass, and then drilling into the clouds.

It's refreshing to listen to.

The huge glazed pavilion is as silent as a cicada, and the needles can be heard.

Except for the commotion when grading, they are all enjoying the sound of the piano.

After about half an hour, the girls' scores were calculated.

Jinzhou Xu Yuan's girl, with the same score as Ning Xianrou, tied for first place.

Xiao Li'er is fourth, and Yunzhou Zhao Hui is third.

The other ladies didn't make the list.

In this regard, Mrs. Xiao sent someone to ask An Rong, what should I do about this?

After all, I didn't think about it before to be tied for the first place.

An Rong is also in trouble, if he ties for the first place to win or lose, then Xiao Li'er will be eliminated.

An Rong didn't know what to do, no, on the side of his face, he asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, you promised to give the first promise, and now the two firsts, what should I do?" ”

An Rong kicked the ball, it was too obvious.

Thinking that An Rong helped her come up with an idea, the emperor helped her and said, "Then add another competition to determine the winner and loser." ”

Zuo Xiang nodded, "Exactly, but I don't know what to add to the test?" ”

The emperor thought for a while and said, "I have both ability and political integrity, but I don't know how to be virtuous." ”

The emperor said so, obviously the test is virtue.

An Rong Si took a moment and ordered Peony to say a few words.

Peony went down and invited Xu Yuan and Ning Xianrou to play in the inner garden.

The two of them were confused, they had the same scores, they should continue to compete, they thought they would try to play chess, who would have thought that they would enter the inner garden?

Don't know what to do inside?

The two went to the inner garden side by side.

The inner garden, covered by pines and cypresses, flowers and trees are sparse, square bricks are paved, flowers are surrounded by walls, and the steps are tortuous, simple and elegant.

The two watched as they walked, admiring from the bottom of their hearts.

When they reached a fork in the road, the maid asked them to go one way each.

The two were slightly surprised and did so.

The two took the maid and continued to walk forward, looking at the scenery for a while.

Suddenly, the mother-in-law who was in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden accidentally spilled water on Xu Yuan.

Her clothes were wet, and Xu Yuan's face immediately turned blue.

As soon as her maid's hand was raised, she struck it. (To be continued......)
