Just when Shenhou and Dog Rong began to discuss sending troops to eliminate the Zhou royal family, Yingkang, who was far away in Sanguo, had already rushed back to Yucheng.

At this time, Princess Ruoxi was sick, and she was quite sick.

Many people in the world are like this, on the road of sharing weal and woe, we can only "share sorrow" but not "share joy". Princess Ruoxi may be such a person, she has accompanied Yingkang along the way to witness the process of the Qin people from weak to mature, and then to gradually grow.

But when the Qin people really occupied the scattered kingdom in the western part of Guanzhong and actually owned the kingdom of Qiu, she fell ill.

In fact, her condition is nothing at all today, it is nothing more than inflammation caused by a cold and fever, first pharyngitis, then pneumonia, then coughing all the time, and finally fever, high fever does not stop.

Faced with his wife's heavy illness day by day, bubbles grew at the corners of Ying Kang's anxious mouth, and he became angry with those medical officers at every turn.

But Chinese medicine is like this, conditioning is definitely a good medicine, but in the face of inflammation, it shows its shortcomings.

At this moment, the chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Sima Boyu asks to see you." ”

Sima Boyu is Zhao Boyu, and he is now a genuine Sima of the dynasty.

Zhao Boyu came to see him at this time, what is the important matter?

Ying Kang handed the hot water in his hand to the palace maid and motioned for her to feed Princess Ruoxi. Since the princess was sick, Yingkang has been around her all day long, bringing water and feeding by him alone, and he will not let others do it unless he really can't get out.

Ying Kang said to Princess Ruoxi: "You drink some water first, and I'll come when I go." ”

Ruoxi coughed a few times, and said weakly to Yingkang: "Husband, you must put the world first, don't delay national affairs because of me, you can go." ”

Yingkang came to the palace hall, Zhao Boyu and Prime Minister Yingzhao were already waiting for him here, after seeing Yingkang, the two arched their hands and said: "Meet the king." ”

"Excuse me, get up and speak, what's the matter?" Ying Kang said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, something big has happened to the royal family." Zhao Boyu reports.

Something big happened to the royal family?

Ying Kang asked with some surprise: "Something big has happened to the royal family, what is the big thing?" Let's hear it. ”

"Your Majesty, just last month, Heavenly Palace suddenly ordered the abolition of Empress Shen's position as queen, and at the same time, he also abolished Ji Yijiu's position as crown prince. Canonized Bao Xi as the queen, and Bao Xi's son Ji Bofu as the crown prince. Zhao Boyu reported.

It's only been a few months, and such a big event has happened in the royal family, and Yingkang is somewhat surprised.

He suddenly thought that he had been in this Western Zhou era for some time, and if nothing else, it should be 771 BC now.

Because in this year, several earth-shattering events occurred in the history of the Zhou royal family, one of which was that Zhou Tianzi Ji Gongyan abolished Queen Shen and canonized Bao Xi as queen, and then a series of major events occurred.

After realizing this, Ying Kang said to Zhao Boyu and Ying Zhao: "What else is there to talk about." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also heard that Empress Shen's father, Shen Hou, was furious when he heard that his daughter and grandson had been deposed, and threatened to stand against the royal family, and the minister also heard that he had already connected with the north."

When he said this, Zhao Boyu, who was very arrogant, actually looked a little cautious.

After all, in the world of the Zhou royal family, if there is a courtier colluding with Rong Di in the north, it is definitely a big thing to violate the people and the ministers and betray the country, and it is easy to say.

Seeing Zhao Boyu like this, Yingkang wanted to laugh a little, thinking that things had come to this point, and you were still so mysterious. I really don't know that there is still a major event in history when Shenhou colluded with the dog Rong to attack the Central Plains and eliminate the Western Zhou Dynasty?

Zhao Boyu and others are not modern people, how can they know what happened next?

Although Ying Kang knows what will happen in the future, he can't say it, otherwise people will treat you as an immortal who knows astronomy and geography, and can see through the events of the past three hundred years.

It's already good to be the king, but let's not do it.

So Yingkang said: "Such a big thing has happened in the royal family, and we, as courtiers of the royal family, must not take it lightly. ”

"Yes, that's what I said, but if there is anything really going on in the royal family from now on, what should we do?" Zhao Boyu said worriedly.

"What happened to the royal family, what kind of thing will happen to the royal family?" Ying Kang couldn't help but ask.

"In case Shenhou colludes with the dog Rong and launches an attack on the royal family, will we help or not?" In the end, it is Sima who is the person, Zhao Boyu is such a person who cares about the fate of the Zhou royal family, Yingkang can't help but be a little surprised, "It seems that Sima Boyu is very concerned with the fate of the royal family!" Then the widow asks you, if Shen Guo starts a war against the royal family, should we help you? ”

"Of course we have to send troops to help the Zhou royal family, no matter what, we are also courtiers of the Zhou royal family, and we can't watch the Zhou royal family being attacked by the enemy."

"If the Zhou royal family did something wrong, do we still need to help the royal family?" Ying Kang continued to ask.

"This?" Zhao Boyuan was speechless, not knowing how to answer this question.

Obviously, this is a difficult question to answer, if the royal family does something wrong, you Qin people have to send troops to help, then if the royal family does something unfavorable to the Qin people in the future, what will you Qin people do at that time?

Looking at Zhao Boyu's look of not knowing how to answer, Ying Kang smiled: "Sima Boyu, the current royal family's affairs are only limited to Empress Shen and the crown prince being abolished, as the father-in-law, Shen Hou feels that he can't hold his face, just a little angry, it's not a big deal." ”

"But what if it is really as rumored that Shenhou and Inu Rong collude to deal with the royal family, what should we do?" Obviously, Zhao Boyu was very worried that Shen Guo would send troops to the royal family after colluding with the dog Rong.

Ying Kang looked at Ying Zhao with a smile, "If such a thing really happens, what does my brother think we should do?" ”

Since Zi entered the palace, Yingzhao has never spoken, in fact, as the prime minister of a country, in the face of the upcoming big event, of course he can't sit idly by.

"If such a big thing really happens, of course the Qin people can't ignore it, but as for whether they want to help the royal family, it has to be determined by our Qin people's own strength." Ying Zhao's words were not as resolute as Zhao Boyu, he knew very well that if it really came to the moment when the dog Rong sent troops to attack the royal family, even if the Qin people wanted to help, I am afraid that they would not be strong.

After all, the dog Rong is not the Rong Di around Longshan, and the strength and combat effectiveness of the people are far from being comparable to Feng Rong. Even if the Qin people have the strength today, there is no way to fight with the dog Rong.

After saying this, Yingzhao also said a very crucial sentence, "Of course, as for what we should do then, it depends on your decision." ”

Ying Kang knew that Ying Zhao still had to listen to his own decision in the end, so he said: "You two don't really have to worry, I think that if that day really comes, it may not be a bad thing for us Qin people, and maybe it will be an important opportunity for Qin people to take off again." ”

The enemy is about to attack the royal family, and the king actually thinks this is an important opportunity? Yingzhao and Zhao Boyuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
