Chapter 135: Tangled
Yao Chi's face changed in an instant, and Qin Shao was not afraid of him at all.
"Uncle Huang, you are right, it is true, I love her, but I also have the people of the world and the people of Li in my heart." Yao Chi's gaze gradually deepened.
If you have to compare the two, there is no comparison.
One is the woman on the tip of the heart, and the other is the responsibility on the shoulder.
No one can give up.
After Qin Shao learned his thoughts, he understood in his heart.
"In that case, I will definitely do my best to help you, and the Queen Mother must not act rashly."
Yao Chi nodded, he also understood.
The Queen Mother's people were already eyeing Chu Jiao, and since this was the case, Qin Shao hurriedly flew the pigeon and passed the book back to tell Li Sheng about the situation here.
In order for Li Sheng to better protect Chu Jiao's safety, it is best to take her into the palace.
Qin Shao is here to make arrangements and deployments, he is standing in the team of the Queen Mother, of course, everything is the Queen Mother first.
At this time, a detailed list of Yao Chi's subordinates was already lying safely in the hands of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother has been nursing for many years, wearing the Queen Mother's court clothes, wearing a bead chain around her neck, her gray hair on the sideburns is meticulously combed, holding a well-made cane in her hand, and a string of Buddhist beads in the other hand, with a smile on her face.
"The mourning family really didn't mistake you, hahahaha. The names of these officials will be remembered. ā
The Queen Mother took the list down as she spoke.
Qin Shao had a smile on his face: "Queen Mother, Yao Chi's people led by Shen Bai are all under control. ā
"In this case, the mourning family will be left to you to do it, and you should know how to mourn the family in the court."
"I know yes, yes, but... Recently, another incident has happened, and that is the border between the Li Dynasty and our Dynasty has been launched again. Chaos, now that the border has asked us for help, we need to send troops over immediately, and I think this matter has to be done by me or the eldest grandson Wuji. ā
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, the eldest grandson Wuji is an old man who has always stayed by her side, even though he is inferior to Qin Shao in terms of strategy and force, but he is a person who knows the roots.
Compared with Qin Shao, who is not easy to control, the Queen Mother is more willing to control this person who can be controlled now.
It's just that as soon as he goes to the border, the whole thing will be delayed, which is not conducive to the development of the overall situation.
"Let the mourners think about this matter."
Qin Shao nodded and didn't say anything more.
In the afternoon, Yao Chi was called to the palace by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said to Yao Chi: "Emperor Sun, after all, you are the emperor, and the mourning family will hand over to you who will go to the border." ā
Yao Chi looked at the two thoughtfully, at this time, if he said that he would let the eldest grandson Wuji go out.
The eldest grandson Wuji is the person next to the Queen Mother, so it will inevitably make the Queen Mother want to suspect that he has any bad intentions, but if Qin Shao is allowed to go out, he will not lose his right-hand man.
He was caught in a dilemma.
Qin Shao gave him a look at this time, although Yao Chi had made an agreement with Qin Shao, he always had some doubts about him in his heart, since the two quietly formed an alliance.
Yao Chi had already handed over all his troops to Qin Shao, because he was alone in the palace, and he couldn't avoid the Queen Mother's eyes and use these forces, but it was different for Qin Shao, who came and went freely and had a lot of prestige in the army.
So this is a bet, and Yao Chi has all the chips pressed up.
"I thought that this matter should still be left to King Qin, he has always been brave and good at fighting, invincible, invincible.
I believe that there will be no accidents this time, but it is still necessary to give him a group of people so that he can support him safely. ā
The Queen Mother didn't rush to speak after listening to Yao Chi's words, but her eyes kept wandering between the two.
After a while, the Queen Mother began to applaud, and a smile appeared on her face.
I only heard her say: "I didn't expect King Qin and my beloved grandson to be so good at acting, if it weren't for the fact that the mourning family already had eyeliner and knew that the two of you secretly had a plan, the mourning family would really be deceived by the two of you in the dark." ā
Qin Shao never glanced at Yao Chi, only to see Qin Shao quickly stand up: "If the Queen Mother says this, I have really wronged me, I came back from the Li Dynasty just to run for the Queen Mother, I don't want the Queen Mother to say such a thing, it really makes Weichen sad." ā
"It's worthy of King Qin, and he has done so well by pretending."
Saying that, the Queen Mother clapped her hands twice, and a number of people with strong martial arts immediately appeared to surround the entire hall.
"I don't know where the Queen Mother heard the rumors, but I'm really innocent."
Qin Shao looked at so many officers and soldiers and highly skilled people still did not change his face, and now he must not be exposed, once the Queen Mother really caught any tricks, she would really jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.
"You come on."
The queen mother said to a little palace maid beside her, and the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
On that day, the emperor retreated and did not let anyone listen in the house, but when the slave and maid were squatting in the corner, they heard the words of two people.
The slave didn't hear it very clearly, but she also heard it most specifically.
What kind of cooperation did the slave and maid hear, what choice did the two achieve in the end, anyway, what goal did the two achieve in the end, the slave and the maid also knew that in order to express his belief in him, he also handed over all his power to Qin Shao's hands, and the slave and maid knew so much, but the slave and maid dared to let her head guarantee that everything she said was true, and none of them were false. ā
The Queen Mother's eyes looked at the two again, as if she was waiting for the two to give him an explanation, and there was a feeling that she was in control of the overall situation and was looking at the clown.
"I'm a person who likes to say the same, if I did it, I would definitely admit it, but now I really haven't done it, how can I admit it?"
Qin Shao's gaze was frank.
"Oh? This palace maid is an old man next to the mourning family, and the mourning family has been doing things for three or four years, so what does King Qin think is worth lying to her? ā
The palace maid listened to what the Queen Mother said, and hurriedly lowered her head.
Qin Shao knelt on the ground and bowed her head silently, he said, "You said you heard it, you heard it?" But what else is there? It's all up to you to open your mouth and raise your head. ā
He was eight feet tall, and now he had a mouth, and there was an imposing momentum all over his body, and the palace maid was frightened by his fierce words and sat directly on the ground, her face full of panic.
"I... I was... Iā" The palace maid's voice immediately became submissive, and there was no such categorical appearance just now.
Qin Shao looked at her like this, and his face became even more fierce: "Say what you just said again?" ā
The palace maid was directly frightened and speechless.
Qin Shao turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, and spread his hand a little helplessly: "Queen Mother, the palace maid is not firm in her speech, it can be seen that what she said is not completely true, please believe in Weichen, Weichen is definitely not that kind of minister, Weichen only has the Queen Mother in his heart." ā
He said it very clearly.
When the queen mother saw that the palace maid was not angry, her face was blue and white for a while, and she felt unpredictable.
Her eyes looked at Qin Shao again, Qin Shao was still the same as before, and his face was very calm.
The atmosphere was a little uncontrollable for a while, and no one around spoke.
The Queen Mother's face gradually softened, and then she laughed.
"Hahahahahaha, the mourning family actually knows it, but they just want to test King Qin's loyalty."
The Queen Mother waved her hand, a smile on her face, and those masters immediately retreated.
Seeing this, Yao Chi felt a sense of calm in his heart, and the knife under his hand was not revealed, but continued to hide in his sleeve.
If the matter between them just now was exposed, then he would definitely kill the Queen Mother.
Even then, it doesn't matter if you're saddled with infamy.
Qin Shao's eyes did not squint.
"Queen Mother, please let me finish this time, I will do my best." Qin Shao said.
The Queen Mother nodded, and then gave Qin Shao soldiers and horses, and asked him to go to support immediately.
It all went so smoothly that Qin Shao went out of the city with his soldiers and horses.
Yao Chi is not a vegetarian either, and secretly envelops people in the palace to exclude dissidents.
"Queen Mother, the slave and maid are not too honest when they see that the emperor has not been too honest recently, will it be dangerous?"
Mama said when she was massaging the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and her face was very calm, and her body shook slightly following her grandmother's movements.
"Don't worry about those things, the mourning family naturally has a way, this man, the most important thing is to be ruthless, if the emperor is ruthless enough, the mourning family is nothing in his hands.
If he still has any merciful thoughts.
Then this huge river is still not suitable for him. ā
Mama rubbed her, but she didn't quite understand what the Queen Mother meant.
"Queen Mother, what do you mean?" Mama asked.
"How's it going to do what I asked you to do?"
She asked.
Mama understood: "I'm afraid... It will take some time. ā
The Queen Mother nodded: "Move as fast as possible." ā
Shen Bai is Yao Chi's new confidant, this person is quite deep in the city, and he is a son of a poor family, so it is easier to control, and he works hard to balance the power of the queen mother above the court.
It's just that the Queen Mother's side is overwhelming.
"Weichen thinks that our dynasty is rich in products and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so we should increase taxes to fill the treasury, and then use it to train the army, so that our dynasty can have absolute power." Eldest Sun Wuji said.
Several people around came to refute Changsun Wuji, but they were unsuccessful.
Shen Bai said reasonably at this time: "At this time, I have experienced two things in the DPRK and have been exhausted, and we should work hard to restore the national strength and let the people recuperate."
In addition, the people of Fanbang have not yet completely surrendered to our dynasty, and it will take time, if we blindly fill the army, I am afraid that the army we have built will kill us with their own hands. ā
