Section 42 One hundred thousand troops

Zhao Sheng smiled even more, and said in a low voice: "Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Fu Jiang was responsible for the reorganization of the people and horses before, although he was born in the army, he didn't know how to be flexible, and I am afraid that he would miss His Highness's major affairs." The subordinate thought that he could be the deputy general, and the coach still had to use our people. ”

"Then according to Lord Zhao's eyes, who are 'our people'?"

"Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, only Silla County has sent the most troops among the counties this time, and the county guard Jiang Changji and I are distant relatives, I know that he is meticulous and reliable, and he is a usable talent. ”

"That'...... Does he have any experience leading troops into battle?"

"Although he didn't, he was familiar with military books, presumably-"

"Bastard!" Yao Jin's face sank, put the teacup on the coffee table, and reprimanded: "You have been in the officialdom for a long time, haven't you? This march and war are about tens of millions of lives, how can you use that person who can only talk about soldiers on paper? If I let him lead the troops, even if my father allows us to go to Ruhua to support, what if this Jiang Changhei will not be used at that time? At that time, will I take your head, or will I take your brother's head to apologize in front of my father?"

Zhao Sheng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down: "The lower officials are not thoughtful, they are not thoughtful, please forgive your Royal Highness the princess!"

"Thoughtful, I think you have ill intentions!" Yao Jin casually took a piece of pastry and smashed it on his head, "Go and call Zhao Yu over, we must discuss a result of this matter tonight, this princess will have a letter tomorrow, and send a secret message to her father." ”

"Yes, yes, go now!"

Seeing Zhao Sheng crawling out with a belt, Yao Jin really couldn't connect him with the steady and silent Zhao Yu. She slowly rubbed the gold-inlaid jade dragon bracelet on her wrist, looking at the snacks rolling down on the ground, the snow-white sugar cake fell into three pieces, scattered on the carpet of red weaving flowers, so dazzling. She also has a piece of fallen sugar cake in her heart, but she was too useless in the past to pick it up, and now that she has finally walked into this room and stretched out her hand, she will definitely take this piece of sugar cake that belongs to hers back.

That night, the Zhao brothers came to the study of the other courtyard where Yao Jin lived, and the three of them discussed until late at night. With the support of Zhao Yu, Yao Jin decided to still let Fu Jiang, who had no enemies with anyone in the thirteen counties and had little contact with anyone, command the 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhao Sheng's distant relative Jiang Changhe, who was familiar with military books, as his deputy general, and let them lead the troops to Baiyun Mountain first. And early the next morning, Yao Jin handed over the secret letter to Zhao Sheng, and asked him to send someone to the capital to deliver it to the emperor urgently.

"I don't understand something, I wanted to ask when my brother asked last night. Why don't you go to the capital to meet Your Majesty in person, isn't it more convincing than a letter?" As soon as the letter was sent away, Zhao Yu found Yao Jin, who was admiring the flowers, in the garden of the other courtyard.

"Because, right now, I don't dare to go. Yao Jin fiddled with a small white velvet flower that had never been known, "Although the emperor has always known about my actions in Jiucheng and Yijiang, he must have thought that it was because I had his secret edict, that I was doing everything to help him put down the rebellion in Beiping or the Hu clan who suddenly started an incident, and he thought that I was the king of Qin." ”

"But you're not just for King Qin. Zhao Yu said calmly, "Except for me, even the twelve county guards, including the younger brother, don't know your thoughts, and the emperor naturally doesn't know either." So you don't go, are you afraid that Your Majesty won't allow it?"

"I'm not just afraid that he won't allow it," Yao Jin frowned, pursed her lips, her face turned slightly pale, "I'm afraid he will kill me." ”

Zhao Yu's face changed, and he subconsciously quickly looked at the sides, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "How can you have such a thought?"

"He is the emperor, and how much does he care about the right to rule over these thousands of miles, and I will cut this vast land of wealth out of his territory, and I will use this secret edict he gave me at that time, and threaten him with the danger of the western frontierβ€”I am afraid that when he reads that secret letter, he will immediately peel me off and tear me apart." Yao Jin thought of all kinds of encounters she had in the palace, and remembered the torrential rain in front of Zichen Palace, everything seemed to be a lifetime away, but it seemed to be yesterday.

"However, he is not just Your Majesty, you are not only a princess," Zhao Yu paused for a moment, and finally said: "After all, there is still that layer of relationship-"

"If I didn't have that relationship, how could I have been in today's situation?" Yao Jin smiled bitterly, "Old Zhao, let me ask you, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Zhao Sheng today and wants to take his life, will you fight to save him to the death? If that person really killed Zhao Sheng, are you bound to seek revenge on that person?"

"Naturally. ”

"That's it, you are Lao Zhao, but you are now Zhao Yu, Zhao Sheng's brother-in-law. Today's emperor is not just the person we knew at SKS. Yao Jin's voice was soft and cold, "We are not the same as in that life." ”

Li Dynasty capital. Inside the Royal Palace.

Yao Jin's secret letter and Beiping's urgent report were only a few moments apart, and they both arrived at Zichen Palace. The emperor had just opened Yao Jin's secret letter, and before he had time to read it, he picked up the urgent report from Beiping again.

"Your Majesty, Beiping is in a hurry to report to the capital at this moment, will it be that he has caught the king of Xishan and reported good news to you-" Before Li Nan finished his flattering words, he saw that the emperor's face was unhappy, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and stepped aside.

"The dense forest actually sent another 50,000 people to Beiping and trapped the Black Cloud Capital alive, do they want to take advantage of Emperor Wei's dying to destroy the Great Wei?" the emperor frowned, "50,000 north of Beiping, 50,000 Qingling, although the dense forest is also counted in the southeast of Wei, but after all, it is separated by Qingling and Snow Mountain, why is it so crazy this time, and it makes 100,000 troops pour out......"

Li Nan listened to the emperor's muttering beside him, and he didn't dare to say much, so he looked at the emperor's face and softened a little, and cautiously stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is also a letter from Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The Emperor glanced at the yellow envelope sealed with fire paint, and on it were four large characters that were not very beautiful: Father and Emperor Himself. He coughed slightly, Li Nan hurriedly stepped forward with a cup of tea, and said softly: "Her Royal Highness the princess's secret letter to Your Majesty must be an important matter. ”

"Well," the emperor took a sip of tea and felt his throat moisten, "she was ordered by the widow to raise people in Jiucheng and Yijiang, and sent people around her to settle the affairs of Fujian. ”

With that, the emperor opened Yao Jin's letter. The letter was not short, densely packed with two pages, but before the emperor had finished reading a page, he was so angry that he threw the letter to the ground and scolded angrily: "Heartless bastard!"

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Li Nan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, be careful of hurting the dragon's body!"

"Go, bring the letter to the widow!" Although the emperor was so angry that his forehead was bruised, but in this angry scolding, he already knew the crisis that these two letters had brought to him and the entire Li Dynasty, and under the current situation, he could not ignore this daughter's request.

Li Nan picked up the letter in fright, and didn't dare to look at it, so he had to hold it in his hand and leave it all the way to the emperor's case.
