The early dynasty ended in a noise, and the result didn't need to be thought about, although the ministers had different opinions, Lin Jue's advocacy of sending troops had already made the matter of sending troops a certainty. Not to mention that even the emperor said a lot of things, supporting the proposal to send troops to recover the lost territory and drive the Jurchens out of the Great Zhou. There is no longer any objection to the matter of sending troops. No matter what opinion you have in your heart, you can't change it.

Everyone left the hall in the sound of dispersion, some of them frowned worriedly, and some of them smiled happily and prepared to do a big job.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Lin Jue did not return to the public house, but ordered Sun Dayong to inform the senior generals of the Luoyan Army and the Ma Bu Army to go to his house for a closed-door meeting. Today, Lin Jue did not determine the date and number of troops to be sent to the imperial court, nor did he clarify the purpose of this battle. On the one hand, it is naturally to prevent leakage, of course, military operations cannot be discussed in public in the court, the date of sending troops, the number of soldiers and horses, the purpose of the battle, etc., are extremely confidential information, Lin Jue does not want the Jurchens to know this in advance. On the other hand, the reason is that Lin Jue himself has not thought about how far this battle will go. Therefore, he needs to discuss the details of the dispatch and related issues with the people of the Luoyan Army.

Lin Jue left the palace and returned to the house not to mention it for the time being, Guo Kun was in a happy mood after retiring from the dynasty, and walked straight to the harem. After entering the Yanfu Palace, I went straight to the Cuiwei Hall in the northwest direction. The Cuiwei Palace was originally the residence of Lu Zhongtian's daughter Concubine Mei, and the current Queen Mother fell in love with the Cuiwei Palace as soon as she entered the palace. The terrain is the highest, and it is close to the northwest lake, and the scenery in front of and behind the palace is the most beautiful. At this moment, in early summer, the whole palace seems to be located in a pavilion of flowers. What's more, it was the bedroom of the once favored imperial concubine Lu Mei, and living in her former bedroom was of extraordinary significance. It was a kind of pride and show-off that finally had the last laugh.

In the Spring Pavilion of the back hall of Cuiwei Palace, the Queen Mother Shen Akui was drinking lotus seed bird's nest soup under the service of the palace maids, and Guo Kun was not polite, so he broke in directly, and frightened several palace maids to kneel down and salute.

"Get out, get out, get out." Guo Kun waved his hand and scolded.

"The slave obeys." Several palace maids fled like frightened birds.

Shen Akui stood up from the soft couch and frowned, "Kun'er, you have to look like an emperor, don't be so rude and impatient." Before you come, you have to communicate first, and you don't have to be so rude if you want the palace ladies to go out, you are not the little prince of Liang Wangfu now, you are the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and your words and deeds must be decent. ”

Guo Kun hurriedly smiled and saluted, stepped forward to support Shen Akui's arm and said, "What my mother taught me is that my son is indeed rude, but ...... I'm so happy. I was anxious to tell my mother the good news, and I didn't pay attention to anyone, so I came to report the good news to my mother. ”

Empress Dowager Shen frowned and said, "What are you so happy about?" What is going on with the Lords today? ”

Guo Kun opened his mouth to speak, but closed his mouth and turned around

When he arrived at the door of the Spring Pavilion, he looked at the attendants and palace maids who were standing far away under the porch outside. Then reach out and put down the rolled up bamboo curtain. Only then did he return to Shen Akui's side.

Looking at Shen Akui's strange eyes, Guo Kun smacked his lips and said, "You have to be careful, who knows whose people are in this palace?" He spoke cautiously, knowing that he had not planted a hand around me or my mother. ”

Shen Akui sighed: "Hey, what a sin. This Great Zhou is yours, this palace is also yours, the whole world is yours, and you are the supreme Lord of the Great Zhou. It's a pity that even our mother and son have to be careful when they talk now, which is really a sin. ”

Guo Kun's face was feverish, and he said coldly: "Mother doesn't need to talk about her son like that, her son knows what kind of person Lin Jue is, and he can't be negligent at all." The son must be careful, or he will never recover. ”

Shen Akui nodded and said, "Kun'er is right, it should be like this, my mother just sighed a few words." What happened today that makes you so happy? ”

Guo Kun regained his smile and said in a low voice: "Mother, what you want to see the most has happened." Lin Jue proposed to send troops to fight against the Jurchens today, hehe, he is going to lead the army out of the capital. Didn't my mother say it before? When he led his army to leave Bianliang to fight the Jurchens, it was our best chance. Now he's leaving, mother. What could be more gratifying than this? ”

When Shen Akui heard this, he looked overjoyed and said, "Really? Agreed? ”

Guo Kun said proudly: "It's set, the specific date of sending troops has not been decided, but this matter is decided." Some ministers also sang the opposite, saying that the east and the west were the same, and I directly gave him a final word. I supported Lin Jue's expedition, and they had nothing to say. He's going to send troops, and of course I'll let him go. I wish he had left the capital sooner. ”

Shen Akui carefully inquired about the situation of the court proceedings, Guo Kun repeated his words to the Queen Mother, Shen Akui nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Kun'er did a good job, these words are not leaky." Now it's okay, as soon as he takes the soldiers and horses away, Bianliang City is our final say. Kun'er, you remember, before he leaves, don't get carried away and be seen by him. Your brother-in-law is a human spirit. By the way, you have to make a gesture of full support, in this way, isn't there a shortage of silver and grain and grass materials? There are also silver jewelry here in the mourning family, and you will take it and send it to Lin Jue in public, and say that the queen mother heard that she was going to send troops to recover the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou, so she took out her dowry to buy weapons, armor, grain, grass and war horses for the army. ”

Guo Kun hurriedly said: "How can that be?" Why do you want to pay for it? and also took the dowry jewelry to offset the silver. ”

Shen Akui scolded: "What do you know? This is called chasing ducks on the shelves, which not only lets the world know that the mourning family is virtuous, but also makes Lin Jue unable to regret it. Today, the queen mother has taken out dowry jewelry to buy military funds, and he has to fight this battle if he doesn't fight, he must

We have to go out as soon as possible. Got it? ”

Guo Kun suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's still my mother's clever means, why didn't my son find out that my mother is so powerful?" More powerful than his father. ”

Empress Dowager Shen sighed and said: "That's also a last resort, after marrying your father, I am worried every day, I am afraid that one day a catastrophe will come, how can I not think about it?" Whether it is calculating or planning, it is all for the sake of being alive, and it is necessary to fight. It was for your father, but now it's for you. Mothers in the world are the same, and sons can do everything for themselves. Mother naturally has to think more about it and think more for you. Otherwise, wouldn't our mother and son be toyed with? ”

Guo Kun bowed down when he heard the words and said: "My son is so ashamed that he makes his mother worry." ”

Shen Akui shook his head and said, "There is no way to do this situation. If we hadn't rebelled out of the court at the beginning, we would all have died. can only follow Lin Jue into the mountains. This step was actually the right one, and he really won the throne with his strength. But now it's a backlash. This is to be expected. In short, the soldiers will block, the water will come to the earth, and one by one it will be solved. ”

Guo Kun said solemnly: "What my mother said is true." ”

Shen Akui glanced at Guo Kun and said, "Don't get carried away, don't make him suspicious." Don't take the initiative in this matter, what your palace said today is actually a bit active. From now on, he won't tell you about the expedition, so don't take the initiative to ask. As long as he left the capital with his soldiers and horses, some things would be easy. The mourning family has already contacted several adults, and everything has been arranged. As soon as he leaves, the capital will be under our control. At that time he will have to bow his head. Even if he had a large army in hand, he still had to bow his head. ”

Guo Kun nodded again and again and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, my son will remember the teachings." ”

Shen Akui nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said in a deep voice: "Is your sister's illness cured?" He did not send anyone to tell us, but he said that he was sick, and he did not send anyone to tell us. ”

Guo Kun frowned and said, "Mother, eighty percent is pretending to be sick." This girl of mine is now dead set on Lin Jue. I couldn't get the slightest wind out of her mouth. My mother has been in the capital for more than ten days, and she said that she was sick and did not come to see her mother. Mother, I don't think you should worry about her. Her elbow was turned out. is full of her husband, where there is my brother and mother. ”

Shen Akui sighed softly and said slowly: "Wei'er is actually the most pitiful, we fought with Lin Jue, and she was the most uncomfortable in the middle. I'm worried about her. You said lightly, she is also the meat that fell from her mother's body, can her mother not worry about her? But in this situation, I am afraid that there is no other choice. Ay! When I think about it, I feel bad. ”

Guo Kun hurriedly comforted the Queen Mother, and the mother and son muttered and talked for a long time, until noon, Guo Kun retired and left.
