Chapter 948: Unexpected Joy
"If the official family goes to supervise the war, please also take the concubines and others to go, whether it is a blessing or a curse, life or death, all together!"
"What are you doing here? When did I say I was going to oversee the war! Zhao Yu was reviewing the official documents, and suddenly Queen Wu Xi and a group of concubines broke into the study, and knelt on the ground without saying a word, making him busy for a while.
"The official family should stop deceiving the concubines, it has been published in the tabloids!" Wu Xi said as he took out a newspaper from his sleeve and presented it to him.
"How is that possible? What I don't know, how can the tabloids know. And this kind of newspaper has always been to attract people to buy, often out of nothing, to create some gimmicks, how can you believe it! Zhao Yu took the newspaper and glanced at it and said. And secretly happy that he used to deal with the fake news released by Boyan, but he fooled his wives together.
"Official, this tabloid obviously claims to be news from the palace, how can it be fake?" Lei Yan looked up at the little emperor and said.
"Alas, will you concubines get up and speak? Wouldn't it be repugnable to spread the word on your knees here, thinking that I would do something to you! Zhao Yu looked at the kneeling beauty, but at the moment he felt like a bunch of thorny roses, he sighed and said.
"If the official family doesn't agree, the concubines and others will kneel and die here!" Everyone didn't get up, Zhang Ping crooked his neck and said angrily.
"The official family is the best at deceiving people, he wants to stabilize us first, and then sneak away!" Chen Shu also snorted coldly with a small face.
"Then how do you want me to explain it, and if this word comes out of the palace, who can send it through this heavy warning? And you also use your brains, how can you easily reveal such confidential things to others before it's too late to hide them? Even if they accidentally leak out, only those close to them can hear it, but how can they leak it out? Zhao Hao held back a smile and pretended to be annoyed.
"This ...... The official family has not been out of the palace for the past two days, except for the morning exercise with the guards, that is, in the study to review the official documents, and the hall is full of people who have followed the official family for many years, even if they hear it, they will not talk much, and there are few other people who can contact the official family, and I have not found anything abnormal in the official family! Wang Yu hesitated to testify for her.
"Concubine Chen has been with me all the time, don't you believe what she said?" Zhao Yu said as if grasping reason.
"Sister Concubine Chen is honest, how to fight the official family, if you want to deceive it, it's not easy!" Chen Shu didn't buy it, rolled her eyes and said.
"Hehe, Concubine Chen, you can't believe it, then I can't help it!" Zhao Yu spread out his hand and said with a wry smile.
"If the official family can explain one thing clearly, the concubine will believe that what the official family says is true!" At this time, Li Sanniang said.
"Oh, Lady please speak!" Zhao Yu was a little surprised when he heard this.
"If the official family wants to sneak out of the palace, it is nothing more than taking a boat or a car to get out of the palace. When the concubine came, she deliberately made a detour, but the boat moored in the lake did not move, nor did she prepare food and water; But the four-wheeled van in the carriage yard was cleaned up, not only wiped new, but also the axle was freshly oiled. The official family has never taken this car, but the four-wheeled van is a modified chariot. What the concubines don't know is that if the official family wants to go to supervise the war, why use this car? Li Sanniang asked.
"What's so strange about this is that because it's a chariot, it needs to be maintained from time to time in case it needs to be used. When the knife and gun are not in use, it is still necessary to wipe them from time to time, so as not to rust! Li Sanniang's question was indeed beyond his expectations, Zhao Yu didn't expect that he had actually done a thorough investigation in advance and caught him off guard, but he made up a reason after a little thought.
"The official's explanation cannot convince the concubines. I asked the director of the Carriage and Horse Academy, and he said that this car needs to be maintained frequently, and it will be overhauled, oiled, and cleaned at the end of each month. If it didn't tell a lie, it should have been overhauled not long ago, so why bother to maintain it again after only two days? Li Sanniang shook her head and said.
"This ......" Zhao Yu was asked, secretly scolding himself for neglecting this, Wu Xi and the others are all from big families, and they don't go out of the door on weekdays, and they have little social experience. But Li Sanniang is different, not only did she assist her mother in managing Zhu Xiantong when she was a child, but also secretly entered the new training brigade system to study, and also commanded the mountain brigade to fight in Jiangnan.
"The official family doesn't have to say it this time!" Wu Xi saw that the emperor was stammering and indisputable, so he knew that it was true and asked again.
"Get up, I can explain it to you. But you must know that this matter is very important, if a word is leaked, it will be known to the Mengyuan spies, and tens of thousands of soldiers will not be able to save their lives. Do you want to listen to it again! Zhao Yu thought for a while and said.
"......" The women were a little shocked when they heard this, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Abnormality is a demon, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the official gourd!" Chen Shu pondered for a moment, then stood up and spoke.
"Okay, let's listen to the official's explanation!" Wu Xi bit his lip and then got up and said.
"Well, come with me!" Zhao Hao nodded and said, he also realized that there was no reasonable explanation, the wives would not let him go, and they would be upset because of this, if they made it clear, the possibility of them leaking secrets was almost zero anyway. Then he dismissed all the idlers and others, and asked them to close the door before opening the door to the war room.
When Zhao Yu pushed open the door of the war room in the back hall, Wu Xi and the others were extremely surprised, this is the place where the legend hides the most core secrets of the empire, and the emperor opened the door to them today, which is equivalent to treating them as his own. And I saw the huge maps of all kinds hanging on the walls, and the realistic sand tables placed in the hall, which marked the distribution of troops, the situation of friends and enemies, and even the height of each mountain peak, and the depth changes of the river in the four seasons.
"This is the so-called strategy in the strategic, decisive victory thousands of miles away!" Zhang Ping looked at it with emotion.
"The official family is really hard, you have to be familiar with all of this, and you can use it like a god!" Li Sanniang is an expert, and he understands the importance of it at a glance, and he didn't expect the little emperor to work so hard, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Here, I'll explain it to you!" Zhao Yu called the women to the Jiangfang deployment map, picked up the baton and said, "Can you understand it?" ”
"Well, the concubine understands it!" Li Sanniang nodded and said.
"The concubine can also understand a little!" Wu Xi also bowed.
"The concubine grew up in her father's study since she was a child, and she can't understand these things!" Chen Shu rolled her eyes and said, while the other three shook their heads.
"This sand table is a map of the situation of the confrontation between our army and Meng Yuan." Zhao Yu explained, "At present, the Mengyuan are concentrating their forces in Runzhou, and they want to concentrate the troops of 50,000 households in Wanhufu, Hebei, Shandong, as well as 500 warships of the Goryeo Navy and 50,000 new recruits to cross the river. At present, the enemy's Goryeo naval army left Mingzhou with the newly recruited naval army, intending to reach Huaiyin from the sea through the mouth of the Huai River, and then enter the Yangtze River through the canal to invade Jiangnan. ”
"In this way, Mengyuan has nearly 200,000 troops, but our Dantu, Jiankang, and Jiangyin along the river only have the strength of three armies, less than 100,000 people, this will be a vicious battle!" Li Sanniang said a little heavily.
"It is precisely that Mengyuan's Wanhu Mansion in Huaixi, Henan Province has already placed tens of thousands of troops in the direction of Jiangzhou and Ezhou to contain them, so that our army cannot transfer reinforcements to the east. Therefore, it is imperative to block the reinforcements of Goryeo......" Zhao Yuzi will not explain to them in great detail, but only briefly explain the situation.
"The urgent military affairs that the official family handled the night before were related to this matter, right?" The emperor said, Wang Yu interjected.
"It is precisely that the enemy wants to send back to the sea to meet the Goryeo naval army, then our naval army will be flanked by the enemy, and it will not only be difficult to complete the task of blocking the enemy, but also very likely to suffer heavy losses. So I asked for reinforcements, and I weighed it in the middle of the night before making a decision. Zhao Yu nodded.
"Then Your Majesty is embarrassed, and you can't take risks without authorization!" Wu Xi complained.
"Queen, the naval army that can be used at the moment, as long as the imperial navy, which is also the only water force in the eastern section of the river defense, bears the heavy responsibility of blocking the enemy from crossing the river, once the north goes to support, the enemy takes advantage of the situation to cross the river, and our army is powerless to stop the enemy on the river, so Your Majesty has to personally conquer." Chen Shu took over and said.
"The concubine is bad, we are actually wrong to blame the official family!" At this time, Li Sanniang interjected, and looked at the emperor apologetically.
"Concubine Shu, the official family secretly went to the Dantu, and he didn't say hello to us, did we blame him!" Zhang Ping pouted.
"You have never been on the battlefield, so naturally you don't understand the combat effectiveness of our army. Although the strength of the forbidden army was inferior to that of Meng Yuan, it was defended by the city and had enough food and ammunition, which was enough to block the enemy and the riverbank. Besides, tens of thousands of guards can help, and the officials must know very well that it is not enough to have to recruit in person. Li Sanniang said.
"Then why did the official family sneak to Dantu?" Wu Xi still didn't quite understand, and asked suspiciously.
"The concubine thought that the tabloid contained the rumors deliberately released by the official family to cover the imperial army. One made the enemy mistakenly think that the official family led the imperial navy to protect the Dantu, and even wanted to attack Jiangbei, so that the enemy did not dare to use troops to rescue the Goryeo navy; The two are to buy time for the imperial army to rush to the mouth of the Huai River, after all, the two places are still thousands of miles apart, and it is not possible to go against the wind. Li Sanniang replied.
"Concubine Shu means that the official family is suspicious, and it is Meng Yuan who has been deceived?" Wu Xi looked at Li Sanniang, and then looked at the emperor who couldn't believe it.
"Of course, it's not the first time he's here!" Chen Shu sighed and said, "Listen to my father, I only acted in a play in the official family of Qiongzhou back then, but as a result, the enemy chief Kublai Khan used troops against Annan and Zhancheng, fought for several years, and also transferred all the troops in the south of the Yangtze River, so that Qiongzhou was able to breathe and the Xing Dynasty recovered." And Kublai Khan didn't know what to do until he died, otherwise he would have to be angry to death. ”
"Alright, the matter is clear, I don't need to explain more!" Zhao Hao smiled and said, he didn't expect that his plan would still be seen through by Li Sanniang, and secretly sighed that he was not a seven-foot man, otherwise he would have to be a good general, but unfortunately he could only endure the years in the palace in the future.
"The concubine blamed the official family by mistake, and asked the official family to condemn the crime!" Wu Xi took a step back and bowed deeply.
"It's okay for you to make trouble, so it makes people believe that it's true." Zhao Yu picked it up and said.
"The meaning of the official, there seems to be Meng Yuan's eyeliner in this palace?" Wu Xi said in surprise.
"You are so tossed, I am afraid that the harem has already spread all over the palace, and this palace ban seems to be strict, but in fact, it is like a sieve, maybe the words of the chamberlain and the palace maid will be spread outside the palace, why do you need Meng Yuan's eyeliner." Zhao Hao said with a wry smile.
"That concubine immediately shut them up, and if they leak a word, they will be killed immediately!" Wu Xi frowned and said.
"No need, there are only a few of you who know the details at the moment, as long as you don't leak your mouth, it will be too fine." Zhao Yu poked his fingers at everyone's heads, and said viciously.
"Who knows if the official family deliberately leaked some secrets to stabilize us, and then slipped away again while we were relaxed!" Chen Shu rubbed her head and sneered.
"Hey...... You! ”
"Well, the concubine is reasonable, we have to prevent the official family from repeating their old tricks!" Wu Xi nodded and said.
"Then it's hard for Concubine Chen, you have to take a good look at the official family, don't let it slip away!" Zhang Ping Lala Wang Yu laughed.
"Alas, I can be regarded as the ability of the instructor's family, and the hearts and eyes of the six of us together can't compare to him. Fortunately, it's time for Concubine Xian's sister to take her turn today, and I can unload this burden. Wang Yu sighed first, and then pulled Lei Yan and pushed it in front of everyone.
"My sisters can't look down on the official family, how can I be competent, or ......" Lei Yan was the youngest among the women, and waved her hand again and again.
"Don't look at me, we can't see through the official family, and I can't do it!" Seeing Lei Yan looking at him, Zhang Ping also hurriedly shrank back.
"In that case, why don't you add two more people, stay an inch away day and night, and guard the official's house, is this good?" Chen Shu glanced at the emperor and said, she also knew that she was not an opponent, otherwise she would not have to pretend to be strong in front of him.
"In this case, if all the sisters move into Zhiyuan Hall, they can discuss something. In addition, it can also prevent inadvertent leakage of secrets, and everyone can remind each other so as not to miss state affairs! Wu Xi thought for a while and said.
"The queen's proposal is indeed a good idea, but this Zhiyuan Hall is narrow, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate so many people!" Chen Shu frowned.
"What's so hard about that?" Zhao Hao interjected at this time, "Later, I asked the bed in the bedroom to be replaced with a big bed, and we all slept in the same bed, and we slept together, wouldn't it be solved." ”
"Official, you are so ashamed......" Wu Xi was stunned when he heard this, and said with a blushing face.
"Did you already make up your mind so that we could find out?" Chen Shu also blushed and chuckled, but his hand slammed down the emperor's arm.
"Oh, if you don't want to, why do you have to be so ruthless!" Zhao Yu screamed, rubbed his arms and grinned.
"Who said I didn't want to ......," Chen Shu twisted under the emperor's ribs again, and said coquettishly......
