Postscript 1: Major Military Events
PS: If you read the afterword, you have to skip chapter 305 - the finale, thank you.
In the autumn of the first year of Jianwen, the Ili region in the northwest of the Asian continent was high in autumn, and it was a good time to play polo.
On this day, the weather was sunny and cloudless, and the sun was no longer so vicious, hanging high in the sky, shining on the earth, which was very popular.
"Good, good, one more goal." After seeing the team she supported score a goal, she applauded and cheered happily, and said: "The king, the concubine sees that the red team is going to win, and the king is not allowed to play Laipi at that time." ”
Zhu Ao leaned on the throne and admired the scene of the two teams fighting in front of him, and he also felt quite comfortable and exciting, no worse than watching a football game in the later life, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, the blue team is hand-selected and trained by the widow, and it will definitely not lose to you." ”
Di Linaza patted the dust on her dress, and smiled at Zhu Yingying: "That is, the king's vision and training method are unparalleled in the world, and the concubine is ashamed of herself." ”
"Oh?" Zhu Ao was strange, turned his head, looked at Di Linaza with a look of surprise and asked, "Since you think so too, then why do you think you will win?" ”
"Because the concubine looked at the yellow calendar before going out, today is the lucky day of the concubine, maybe the king will suddenly let the concubine go." Di Linaza winked mischievously at Zhu Ao, picked up a piece of apple on the table, stuffed it into Zhu Ao's mouth and said with a smile.
"You little girl, you can really make the widow happy." Zhu Ao was happy for a while and hugged his beloved concubine in his arms.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of eager horses' hooves not far away, mixed with the urgent shouts of a military man: "Urgent military situation!" Emergency military intelligence! No one is allowed to stop you! ”
Zhu Ao and Concubine Di Linaza glanced at each other, their faces were all grim, and then they stopped laughing, and immediately sat upright, shouting: "What's the matter?" Say it! ”
The soldier ran out of breath, and a grunt rolled off the horse, swallowed heavily and spat at the mouth, and shouted at Zhu Ao: "Your Highness, urgent military situation." King Yan has raised an army! ”
Zhu Ao's expression didn't change much, but he couldn't help but get excited in his heart, and finally a fight, now none of you can spare your hands to restrict the development of this king, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Decree the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the palace is in deliberations, and no one is allowed to ask for leave!" ”
"The villain obeys!" The soldier saluted Zhu Ao and said heavily. The sharp-eyed eunuch brought a ladle of water to the soldier, who held the horsewhip in his right hand, picked up the ladle of water, drank it with a grunt, and finally wiped his lips with his sleeve and walked away.
Zhu Ao stood up, put his hands on his shoulders, turned his head and said to Di Linazha, who was standing aside, "You also go along, go behind the screen and listen to what the ministers in the audience say?" By the way, give the widow an idea. ”
Di Linaza looked stunned, a trace of consternation appeared on her face, and she said with some trepidation: "The concubine doesn't dare, this is a military matter, how dare the concubine intervene?" ”
Zhu Ao smiled slightly, with a look of disdain on his face, and said, "Who set this rule?" In the eyes of the widows, you, like those strategists in the previous dynasty, are the ones who give advice to the widows, and your wisdom is no worse than theirs, and the widows need your wisdom now. ”
Di Lina's heart was sweet, and she felt indescribable happiness, what could make her happier than the king attaching importance to her, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the king's love, but the concubine still has a reluctant request, I hope the king will call the queen's sister too, otherwise the concubine will be suspected of trespassing." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhu Ao said freely, and then took his belongings under the service of the eunuch and palace maid and left the place where polo was played. He liked this attitude of Di Linaza very much, not only could he always put himself in the right position, but also took care not to dislike the queen, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Not long after, all the senior civil and military ministers of Su Guo came to the main hall to discuss matters, and they all knew the news of King Yan's army, so they also knew how important this meeting was, it could be said that it was a meeting to decide the century-old plan of Su State, so no one asked for leave, and if such an important meeting did not participate and express their opinions, their right to speak in Su State would be reduced in the future.
"The ministers participate in the king, the king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." The civil and military ministers of Su Guo knelt on the ground and saluted Zhu Ao.
Zhu Ao wore the most solemn nine-chapter dragon suit, sat on the big throne, and said with a solemn expression: "Everyone, Aiqing, let's be flat, today to discuss military affairs, you don't have to be formal, you can speak freely." ”
"Thank you, the king!" The ministers sang in unison, and then stood up in unison, apparently familiar with this set of etiquette.
The military situation was urgent, Zhu Ao didn't talk too much nonsense, and said directly to the point: "I think you all already know that it is difficult for King Yan to raise troops." The imperial court has announced the rebellion of King Yan, and there is bound to be a big war between the two, which will not only have a significant impact on the court and King Yan, but also affect the future development of our Su Kingdom. Where should we go from here? ”
"This ......" The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty began to talk to each other, whispering, some of them are quick-witted, and they have already considered countermeasures before coming, but they must be cautious when speaking on this occasion, in case there is any mistake in their strategy and they are slapped in the face on the spot, it will leave a bad impression on the king, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to mix in this country in the future.
Behind the screen, Queen Sun Yunqi was also very nervous, isn't this a big mess in the world? Where should her husband go, not only related to her personal rise and fall of honor and disgrace, but also has a great impact on the future of her children, both hands tightly held Di Lina's hands, sweat beads appeared in the palms of her hands, and she said nervously: "Good girl, what should I do now?" King Yan is so good, why do you have to rebel? ”
Sun Yunqi has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has never been enthusiastic about politics and governance, and has focused on his husband and children over the years, and has long placed himself outside of military affairs.
Looking at the appearance of the queen's six gods without a master, Di Linaza was also quite unbearable, and held her hand and comforted: "Okay, sister." You don't have to worry too much, the king is so wise and powerful, he will definitely deal with it. ”
"Sister, you have a lot of ideas, tell me, what should we do now?" Sun Yunqi still refused to let go of Di Linazha, holding her hand, and asked with a wistful expression.
Di Linaza frowned and thought for a while, and then said confidently: "Sister, you are from a famous family, you must have read a lot of books." Do you still remember the story of Han Xin in the "Historical Records", he said that now the power of the world is all under the foot, and the left throw is Chu Sheng, and the right throw is Han Sheng. Even if you don't rely on them, you can go toe-to-toe with them. According to my sister, the weight of the king now is equivalent to Han Xin back then, whichever side you help, which side will win. ”
Sun Yunqi was in trouble again for a while, although she was good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, but she was not very proficient in this art of war, and she frowned and muttered: "Then who should we help?" It's all a family, and we're not helping anyone. ”
"Sister, don't be emotional, there is no father and son on the battlefield, since the fight has started, it is already torn apart, there is no family affection at all, only you live and die. In my opinion, none of us will help, occupy the power of the world, wave troops to occupy the land of Guanzhong and Bashu, establish the emperor's foundation, and wait until they are both defeated, they can sit on the benefits of the fisherman, and then the king will ascend the throne to inherit the mantle of Taizu, and my sister will be the queen. Di Lina said with her hands dancing, her tone and expression revealed indescribable excitement, and there was a lot of pride in her gestures, who doesn't want their man to be promising? If she can rely on her own wits to put her husband on the throne, it is the most fulfilling thing, even if she can't be the queen, she wants to experience this sense of achievement. Besides, she knew that if there was such a day, Zhu Ao would definitely not treat her badly, the position of the imperial concubine would definitely not be able to run, and her son could also be sealed to a big country, why not?
