Chapter 786: Tripartite Calculations (I)
In a side room of the Qianyuan Palace, Wu Hou, who was dressed in a bright yellow long skirt, sat on the big seat at the top, sipping tea slowly, his face was indifferent, but there was an awe-inspiring aura quietly diffused, and the people waiting on the side were all dark, even the always bold Gar Yin Bow did not dare to have the slightest casualness, so he could only hold his breath and stand aside, making a well-behaved appearance of listening to the instructions.
"The old slave knocks on the mother."
In the strange dead silence, I saw Cheng Denggao walking in from outside, and a few big strides rushed to the front, and bowed with trepidation.
"Huh?"
Empress Wu didn't raise her head, and she didn't even put down the tea bowl in her hand, but just let out a voice from her nostrils and motioned for Cheng Denggao to go down on his own.
"Niangniang forgives the sin, the old slave, the old slave failed to achieve the mission, the old slave should die, the old slave should die!"
Although Empress Wu only snorted lightly, Cheng Denggao suddenly trembled, fell to his knees, kowtowed vigorously, and pleaded guilty repeatedly.
"Speak!"
Empress Wu obviously expected the result, and did not say much, but just spit out a word in an indifferent tone.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave maid went to Zhongshu Province and declared the mother's message, but Pei Zhongshu said that the matter was big, and it had to be discussed by the political affairs hall before the decree could be issued, and the slave and maid persuaded again and again, but Pei Yan refused to give the edict of the thorough investigation of the Donggong guard, but only gave the edict of the Tangzhou Assassin History, and then the slave and the maid went to Menxia Province again, Hao Chujun's old thief embryo was too arrogant, and even said that Tangzhou was an important place, and the position of the assassin was not allowed to be privately granted, and said that Li Wen was not talented and virtuous, and he was not worthy of the assassination history, and he blatantly rejected the edict of Zhongshu Province, The old slave said that he refused to issue it, and the old slave was incompetent, so he begged the mother to forgive him. ”
After the martial arts had an order, Cheng Denggao naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told the story one by one, and he didn't forget to tell Pei Yan and Hao Chujun fiercely.
"Hmph, take it, go again!"
Although she had already expected the non-cooperation of the Zai Fu, she really heard Cheng Denggao say this, and the Empress Wu couldn't help but snort angrily, but she was not angry with Cheng Denggao, but shook her hand and threw a roll of yellow silk that was resting on a few pieces into Cheng Denggao's arms.
"No, the slave will do it, this will do it."
Seeing that the martial queen did not blame himself, Cheng Denggao's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down a little, but Wu Zi didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't care to look at the content of the will, so he agreed to the promise one after another, and hurriedly withdrew from the room.
"What does Aiqing think about this?"
After Cheng Denggao retreated, Empress Wu raised his hand and retreated all the eunuch palace maids who were waiting on the side, glanced at Gar Yinggong with glittering eyes, and opened his mouth with a deep groan.
"The tail of the East Palace has become a big trend, if you want to calm it, the only way is to make a dangerous move."
Gar Yingong was a man of understanding, and he had long seen the means implied under the successive edicts of Empress Wu, but he did not dare to say it explicitly, but replied in a general way.
"Uh-huh, are you a dangerous move? It's funny, it's funny, but how do you do it, huh? ”
For the overall deployment, the Empress Wu has already made up her mind, and this time she called Gar Yingong to come, just to confirm the feasibility, and by the way, to put pressure on Gar Yingong, but the Empress Wu did not intend to directly bring out the planned strategy, but wanted to listen to Gar Yinbow's plan first, so she quietly asked.
"Tangzhou."
Being forced by the Empress Wu like this, Gar Yinggong was no longer able to be ambiguous, so he could only cautiously point out the key points.
"Go on."
As soon as she heard Gar Yingong say the main point, Empress Wu's eyes immediately lit up, but she didn't comment, just bowed her head slightly, and motioned for Gar Yingong to continue.
"Niangniang Mingjian, Tangzhou is a place to be Jin, according to this, the king of Yue can look at Luoyang, the East Palace will not sit idly by, if there is no accident, Tangzhou will become the focus of contention, a little provoked, it is not difficult to make a profit."
The matter is very serious, even if the Empress Wu has asked him to say it clearly, Gar Yinggong still doesn't dare to really say it openly, and can only hint at it in words.
"What if the fish doesn't take the bait?"
Although Gar Yinggong's words were very vague, Empress Wu obviously understood the meaning, and after rolling her eyes, she continued to ask.
"Between the virtual and the real, blame Jiangdong."
Don't look at Gar Yingong before he dared to talk freely in front of the martial queen, but that was all to attract the attention of the martial queen, and now it has come to the last moment, Gar Yingong will not dare to be so casual, after all, this battle will decide everything, the winner lives, the loser dies, there is no other way to go, no matter how confident Gar Yinbow is, at this moment, it can only be cautious.
"Hmm......"
This strategy of listening to Gar Yin's bow is basically the same as what he thinks, and the slightest doubt that still exists in the heart of the Empress Wu has dissipated, and she just thought about the next decision, but saw Cheng Denggao turn back again, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, the old slave is fortunate to live up to his mission."
As soon as he saw Empress Wu's eyes swept over, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to slack off a little, walked a few steps, grabbed the front, held the holy decree in his hand, and said a sentence with joy.
"Well, stand down."
Empress Wu pointed a few times, signaled Cheng Denggao to put down the holy decree that had passed the province of Menxia, and then undoubtedly issued an expulsion order.
"No, the old slave obeys."
After the martial arts had an order, Cheng Denggao did not dare to disobey, respectfully placed the holy decree on a few sons, bowed down and withdrew from the room.
"Tangzhou is a matter of the overall situation, does Aiqing have any specific plans?"
After Cheng Denggao retreated, Empress Wu couldn't sit still any longer, so she got up and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and then suddenly raised her head, staring at Gar Yinggong with blazing eyes, and asked almost word for word.
"Niangniang Mingjian, Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not?"
Gar Yingong did not directly answer Empress Wu's question, but bowed down and asked with a solemn face.
"What's the matter? Speak! ”
Empress Wu frowned a little impatiently, but at the end, she still didn't have a Gar Yin bow, but just said with a straight face.
"Your Majesty's Dragon......"
As soon as he saw Empress Wu's face, Gar Yinggong knew that Empress Wu had guessed the question he was going to ask, but the stakes were very high, and knowing that it might anger Empress Wu, Gar Yinggong still had the courage to ask half of the words.
"Presumptuous!"
Although she had guessed the question that Gar Yin Gong was going to ask, when it really came time for Gal Yin Gong to ask about it, Empress Wu still couldn't suppress the irritability in her heart, her phoenix eyes glared, and she broke her throat sharply.
"Niangniang is angry, the last general will not dare to be rude and illegal, but the stakes are very high, a slight mistake, it is a situation of no return, and the last general can only dare to ask one or two, and ask Niang Niang to forgive the sin."
The aura of the martial queen is very great, such an anger, it is really not so easy to bear, even if Gar Yingong is brave enough to skip people, he is also shocked to the heart of the drum, but he is shocked, Gar Yingong still forced his words to explain.
"Humph!"
Although he knew that Gar Yingong's question was necessary for the design, Empress Wu's heart was still difficult to let go, not for anything else, just because Gaozong's illness was a secret among secrets, in order to be able to hide from the world, Empress Wu did not know how much energy was expended, in order to achieve a fatal blow that was taken by surprise, if the news leaked, the consequences would be self-explanatory.
"You'll take the worst-case scenario."
Empress Wu is not an ordinary person in the end, after venting for a while, she quickly came back to her senses, with a gloomy face, and gave a not too clear answer.
"No, the last general understands, well, if this is the case, you should plan carefully, and the last general has a strategy, or a feasible ......"
Although Empress Wu said vaguely, Gar Yinggong understood it as soon as he heard it, and his heart immediately rolled through a burst of excitement, but he didn't dare to show it, and after thinking silently for a while, he slowly said what he thought.
"Hmmm......"
After quietly listening to Gar Yinggong's report, the Empress Wu was not in a hurry to make a decision, but pondered and pondered, it is obvious that the Empress Wu is not without worry about Gar Yinbow's bold strategy, after all, this is a decisive battle, if you lose, everything before will be in vain, and you will not be free to think about it carefully.
Time passed minute by minute, but the Empress Wu never spoke, as soon as this situation came out, Gar Yinggong's heart couldn't help but jump wildly, not for anything else, just because he and the Empress Wu are now two grasshoppers tied to a rope, even if each other's minds are different, but once defeated, the end of the miserable is the same, but it is the Empress Wu who is in charge, even if Gar Yinggong is impatient in his heart, but he does not dare to reveal the slightest outflow, can only stand silently aside, quietly waiting for the decision of the Empress Wu.
"If you go like this, how sure is Aiqing going?"
After Empress Wu was silent for a long time, Huo Ran raised his head and asked with a glint in his eyes.
"Sixty percent, seventy percent at most!"
Gar Yinbow gritted his teeth and gave an unreliable answer.
"Sixty percent? Hmm......" As soon as he heard Gar Yinggong say this, the essence in the eyes of the Empress Wu suddenly became a little more vigorous, and after he grew out of his mouth, he picked up the edict placed on several sons, threw it into Gar Yinggong's arms, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "The Qing family will take this edict well, and when it will be handed over to the king of Yue, it will be handled by the Qing family." ”
"No, the last will obey!"
Gar Yingong is a person who understands, since he heard it, he knew the intention of the martial queen's words, and his mood couldn't help but waver, but he didn't say much, and after respectfully answering the promise, he turned around and strode out of the room.
"Hoo ......"
As soon as Gar Yingong left, the Empress Wu, who was still holding the shelf, instantly relaxed, stretched out her hand and stroked her forehead, and let out a breath of air, her spirit was obviously exhausted......
