"The emperor's technique will already have deaths and injuries, so why should adults be too soft-hearted? When the king is in power, wouldn't it be enough to repay these people? Shi Jian said disapprerovingly.

"Yes......" noble nodded sheepishly.

"Okay, okay, it's not too early, adults go back and rest early." Shi Jian said, helping Gao Shangzhi to urge him to go, and said in his mouth: "This king knows that adults must not sleep well at night, so it is better to rest early!" ”

"Your Highness, does you think the old minister is old?" Gao Shangzhi asked slowly.

Shi Jian smiled and comforted: "How can this king dislike adults? You're old and strong! But take care of your body and live well, so that our final victory will be meaningful, won't it? ”

"Hmm......" Gao Shangzhi seemed to be a little depressed, and saluted slightly and said: "Your Highness, the old minister has retired......"

In the next few days, Liu Guifei slept in a groggy state for a few days, and she was not able to leave the palace until Liu Yuanzhi went out of the funeral.

On this day, Liu Guifei finally woke up.

"Xiao Xiang......" Liu Guifei shouted weakly.

"Mother, the slave is here." Xiao Xiang hurriedly knelt beside the bed.

"How long has Hongu been asleep?" Liu Guifei rubbed her head and muttered, "Hurry up...... Fu Hongu to get up......"

Xiaoxiang hurriedly got up, helped Liu Guifei up, put a pillow on her back, and said: "Imperial Doctor Zhang takes care of the slaves and maids, I want you to recuperate, you ......"

"Clean up, this palace is going to go out of the palace......"

Xiao Xiang was a little embarrassed and asked, "Niang Niang is out of the palace...... Is it ...... to do something?"

Liu Guifei was probably too sad before, and she couldn't cry at this time, her face was pale and cold, and she said, "I have to go and see my brother'......"

"...... Lord Liu has already gone to the funeral...... You ......"

Concubine Liu didn't know where the strength came from, so she waved her hand and threw the pillow at Xiaoxiang and scolded: "Why don't you wake up the palace!" What do you eat! ”

Xiaoxiang knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Niangniang forgives ...... sins"

At this moment, Shi Hu walked in and said slowly, "I told them not to disturb Concubine Ai's rest. ”

Shi Hu said, stepped forward, and instructed Xiao Xiang, "Go out." ”

Xiao Xiang got up from the ground without saying a word and retreated.

"Your Majesty, why? Why is that? Liu Guifei didn't cry this time, she was unusually calm.

"You shouldn't be emotional now, you just need to take care of the fetus in your womb, and you don't have to worry about other things." Shi Hu said.

"How the hell did my brother die? He's still so young, who is the poisoner! ”

"According to the news, it was done by Xianbei people!"

"Wasn't Shi Min sent by His Majesty to protect my brother? Why didn't he die! But my brother is dead! Liu Guifei said, tears began to flow from her eyes again, but this time, she didn't cry.

"Life and death are fateful, swords have no eyes, who can say for sure this kind of thing?"

"My brother has been loyal to the country all his life, and now he is dying for the country, Your Majesty, no matter what, you want to avenge the brother who is a concubine!"

"I have also considered avenging your brother, but I am afraid that it will be ...... to start a war rashly."

"Isn't it just a little Xianbei! I was beaten so badly by Xihuahou last year! Your Majesty, you have been fighting horses all your life, are you still afraid of them! ”

"Ai Concubine, the coming day will be long, and the matter of revenge will be talked about later."

Hearing Shi Hu's attitude, Liu Guifei cried again, crying heartbreakingly, and shouted in her mouth: "Big brother...... You died in vain, but my sister didn't even see you for the last time! I couldn't even send you off on the last ride! ”

"Hey......" Shi Hu sighed: "This person is dead, don't cry concubine!" ”

"You are Your Majesty, don't you want to send troops to avenge your brother, and you can't cry as a concubine?" Liu Guifei shouted.

Liu Guifei said, the more she cried, the more sad she became, which made Shi Hu upset.

At this time, Lu An shouted outside: "Your Majesty, the border is urgent!" ”

Shi Hu asked, "What an urgent report!" ”

"The letter from Youzhou Assassin Shi said that the day before yesterday, the two brothers of the Xianbei Murong clan led thousands of cavalry to the south, looting and killing the people. In the past two days, the Xianbei people have attacked and harassed many times in a row, and suffered heavy losses. ”

"Fuck it!" Shi Hu scolded angrily: "Xuanliubu, Prime Minister, King Qing, Xihua Hou father and son enter the palace!" ”

"Yes......"

Shi Hu glanced at Liu Guifei and instructed Xiaoxiang: "Take care of Niangniang!" ”

"Yes......"

After Shi Hu left, Concubine Liu Guifei wiped away her tears and instructed Xiaoxiang: "Go to King Qing and let him persuade His Majesty to avenge his brother in this palace no matter what!" ”

"But will King Qing listen?"

"This palace is pregnant with his seed in his belly, and he won't stop listening!"

"Yes......"

Shi Zhan held the letter sent by Tanma in his hand, and said to Shi Min worriedly: "The Xianbei people really want to provoke a war!" ”

Shi Min took the letter and said: "Fortunately, there is Shi Yong guarding Yanmen Pass, and the problem is not very big, but the situation in Youzhou is not so good." ”

"Let's go! Enter the palace! Shi Zhan got up and said, "Your Majesty has summoned it, it must be for this matter!" ”

The father and son went out, and Shi Min asked along the way: "Father, if the Xianbei people have been harassing like this, the initiative will always be in their hands, and if this continues, the people of Youzhou will always suffer from it, and production and farming will not be carried out normally." ”

Shi Zhan nodded, sighed, and said, "My father also understands this truth. However, a large-scale war with the Xianbei people will consume the strength of Zhao State, and secondly, it will also fuel the determination of the Xiongnu to go south. ”

"This is also where things are difficult, it is not to fight, and it is not to fight!"

"The letter said that Xianbei has 80,000 soldiers and horses, as far as this formation is concerned, it is not as simple as a simple attack, they are constantly testing His Majesty's patience, maybe they just hope that Zhao Guo can start a war with them."

"Once the war starts, Zhao will be attacked on both sides, and the situation will inevitably be more difficult." Shi Min said.

"Hate only hates the incompetence of Youzhou Thorn History, and it can't deter Xianbei people."

"Counting on them? Last year, Dugu Nanxin led his troops south, and they hardly played any role, otherwise there would be no need for his father to lead the troops north! ”

Shi Zhan shook his head helplessly and said, "Maybe this time, it is inevitable to send troops!" ”

"If father, you guard Youzhou, maybe the Xianbei people wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."

"You're thinking too simply!" Shi Zhan glanced at Shi Min and said: "Most of the defenders in Youzhou are from the Qian tribe, not my own people, even if they go for their father, they may not be convinced." Historically, the first thing to do in a victorious army is to work together and have strict military discipline. No matter how good a plan is for his father, he can't defeat the enemy when he encounters a general like a rice bucket. ”

"That's what I said......"

"Let's see how His Majesty decides first."

Shi Zhan said, the two had arrived at the gate of the palace, so they dismounted and entered the palace.

When the father and son passed by a garden, Shi Min suddenly grabbed Shi Zhan.

"What's wrong?" Shi Zhan turned around and urged.

"Father, look!" Shi Min pointed.

Shi Zhan looked in the direction pointed by Shi Min and vaguely saw Shi Zun talking to a maidservant.

"I don't know what King Qing is sneaky and very secretive, what the maid of Huilan Palace said?"

"That maid is from Huilan Palace?" Shi Zhan frowned and asked.

"Yes, I recognize it, it's Liu Guifei's personal maidservant!"

"Let's go, let's take a detour and don't be seen by them." Shi Zhan said and walked away.
