Uncle Ding saw that he was skillful in his work, and couldn't help but sigh: "You Tutatar people still know how to live, unlike our officials and masters in Zhaoyin, all of them are delicate and expensive, and they even have to be fed for food." ”

Yun Huan grinned: "The wind and sand are big over there in Tuotar, and the life here is not as good as this." ”

Uncle Ding sighed: It's not because Gang Leader Xiao and Xue Tianwang are guarding the frontier in Cloud City and blocking the iron hooves of Yanjin's villains, which has ensured our Zhaoyin's stable life. Ay...... It's a pity......" He coughed a few times, looked around like a frightened bird, and did not dare to say more.

Uncle Ding's abnormality caught Yun Huan's attention. Yun Huan got up and looked around, then closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Does Uncle Ding notice anything abnormal?" ”

Uncle Ding sighed: "This Zhen Cheng gave birth to a prince by relying on his daughter, and he was already rampant and domineering in this city. Now that the emperor has died, the Zhen family is even more powerful, preventing the Xiao gang leader from returning to the dynasty every day, and has planted a lot of eyeliner in the city. Even my little inn is no exception. He lowered his voice and said, "A few juniors in our inn are all the eyeliner of the Zhen family." Yun Shaoxia, when Gang Leader Xiao comes back, you have to talk to him, so that Gang Leader Xiao can usually guard against them, and don't let them get caught in the trap. Although I am old and incompetent, I don't want to see traitors in charge. Yun Shaoxia, you can help Xiao Gang Leader more. ”

When Yun Huan heard this, his eyes moved, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Ding, don't worry, I will explain this situation to Gang Master Xiao." ”

Uncle Ding smiled with relief: "I'll go get you some side dishes again." ”

Seeing that Uncle Ding turned his back and stopped looking at his face, Yun Huan's eyes suddenly shot out a cold light.

As soon as Yun Xi entered the palace, he felt the murderous aura of this deep palace. Li Li and Chai Song were even more like facing a great enemy, pressing their weapons with their hands and preparing to attack.

The moment the ironclad soldiers were pressed, Li Li almost drew his sword, but was held down by Yunxi. Hundreds of soldiers crowded on the sides of the three, and the axes in their hands were still shining in the night. Yunxi didn't seem to see it, and only took Chai Song and Li Li all the way into the main hall where the funeral was being held.

Concubine Zhen Guifei was taking the prince to lie in front of the spirit and cry and guard the spirit, only to hear the sound of footsteps behind her, and turned around and shouted: "Be bold Xiao Yunxi, enter the main hall and not dissolve the weapon, is it to rebel?" ”

Seeing that Li Li was just about to speak, Yun Xi waved his hand to block his movements, waved his hand to let the two of them stay outside the hall, walked to the spirit and knelt down for a long time, then got up and said lightly to Concubine Zhen: "The emperor suddenly collapsed, and the city was full of clouds, so he had to carry swords and soldiers with him." Since the concubine felt that it was inappropriate, Weichen ordered his subordinates to untie the sword. But please also ask the concubine to understand that Weichen is here to tell the first emperor, not to seize power and mess with the government. If Weichen really wants to rebel, does the concubine think that she can suppress Weichen with a sword? ”

"The general is very cool." Concubine Zhen Guifei hugged the crown prince Li Shen into her arms, and said hatefully, "When I accompanied the first emperor a few days ago, where did I think that the first emperor would suddenly suffer a catastrophe and die? Is it wrong for us orphans and widows to live alone in the city and live cautiously? ”

Yunxi said coldly: "Although the whole country mourns the collapse of the emperor, the people in the city must also survive and the country must operate." The concubine instructed her mother's family to seal the entire Lanjing City and not let them leave the house, causing the people to have no livelihood, how innocent are the people? ”

Concubine Zhen snorted: "The assassin is now hidden in Lanjing City, maybe he will come to assassinate my Shen'er again, how can this palace sit still and wait to die?" Is it the crown prince who is important, or the untouchables who are important? The general must have a score in his heart. She glanced at her, "Or maybe this assassin was the general's instigation?" ”

Yun Xi said coldly: "If it is really the command of Wei Chen, Wei Chen should lead troops into Lan Jing City and seize the throne in one fell swoop." Now Weichen only brought two ministers into Beijing alone, which shows that Weichen's loyalty can be demonstrated. Does the concubine have to swear by the heavens to be down-to-earth? ”

Concubine Zhen snorted coldly: "I'm just afraid that the general will be blinded by the person next to him." The general has great achievements, but the people around him are spies of the enemy country, how can this palace believe that you are brave and loyal? ”

Hearing Concubine Zhen mention Ren Qingmei, Yun Xi was unhappy in her heart, and said coldly: "Weichen has been hunted down, and it will be effective in the near future." ”

"Pursuit? Not a day? Concubine Zhen sneered, "That's the general's pillow person?" Will the general be willing? Doesn't this Qingmei have the slightest desire to assimilate the general and work together to dominate the industry? Even if the general killed his relatives in righteousness, then dare to ask the general, Ren Qingmei has been collaborating with the enemy for a long time, why did he find out his identity recently? This alone can sue the general for the crime of negligence. ”

Yun Xi said coldly: "Ren Qingmei is very deeply hidden, although Wei Chen has noticed some clues, but it takes enough time to unearth evidence to verify the body." As soon as it was found out, Wei Chen ordered his subordinates to cut off Ren Qingmei as soon as possible, and moved the entire Heavenly King Gang except for the Creation Building to the vicinity of Cloud City, so as to save the elites of the Fengrui Camp and the Liren Pavilion as much as possible. At the same time, Weichen also fought for division among the subordinates of the Creation Building, and collected the evidence of Ren Qingmei's crime through multiple investigations, which ensured that the righteous power of the Creation Building was not controlled and isolated by the traitors. If the concubine wants to cure the crime of negligence of Weichen, Weichen is indeed to blame, and he has nothing to say. The minister and the first emperor sent a chapter to ask for guilt, but the first emperor has been unresolved. If the concubine wants to accuse Weichen of colluding with Ren Qingmei in private, please forgive Weichen for disagreeing, and would rather die than be beaten into a trick. ”

Zhen Guifei snorted again: "Okay, even if you try your best to keep the military strength of the Heavenly King Gang, but at that time, everyone knows that Ren Qingmei privately hijacked Cloud City to seize military salaries. Knowing that the treasury is not abundant and the military spending is suppressed, why do you still go out of Cloud Midtown to face the Yanjin Empire without authorization? Do you know how many officials and maids around him have been abolished and how many ancestral ceremonies have been abolished by the emperor in order to make up enough military pay for you? A generation of emperors went hunting, when the car was sufficient, and the canopy was accompanied, but because of the war, it was unkempt, the king was not like the king, the minister was not like the minister, and the nine cars and nine covers changed to three cars and three covers, which lost the face of the royal family. Our mother and son were originally full of food and clothing, but because you went out of the city without permission to face the battle, it cost a lot of money, so you couldn't even eat steadily. As a general, you act without regard for the royal face, and only care about your own greed for heaven, do you dare to call yourself a loyal and good general? ”

Yun Xi said coldly: "Ren Qingmei's chaotic government is not what Weichen wants. But at that time, Cloudsdale was overstretched, and the sergeants ate wild vegetables and gruel, and their morale was already low. coincided with the pressure of the Yanjin army, if it could not be held, it would only make the morale of the soldiers in Cloud City even more sluggish, and the longer it dragged on, the more fearful the army became. The concubine is full of poetry and books, how can she not know the truth that fighting with soldiers requires one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions? Once the fear of war is generated, the Yanjin Empire will see that our army is not strong, and it will be a matter of time before the city is broken. Therefore, it is necessary to face the battle and defeat it, so that the morale can be red and the city in the clouds can be defended. ”

"You are really eloquent, you are just relying on your own tricks to get a chance to escape from danger." Concubine Zhen sneered, "Since that's the case, it's just a narrow victory this time." Why do you want to send scouts to Yandang City, so that you are not afraid of angering the Yanjin Empire and causing frequent wars? Can you guarantee a narrow victory in every battle? ”

"When fighting a war with soldiers, what you seek is not a victory in a battle, but a long-term and stable rule and occupation." Yun Xi said coldly, "In the past, the Yanjin Empire cast Yandang City to plant a nail in my Zhaoyin Cloud City. If Yandang City is not occupied for a day, Cloud City will not be peaceful for a day, and military spending will be consumed endlessly. Therefore, after Weichen won the first battle, he must find an opportunity to occupy Yandang City again in order to completely resolve the predicament of Yunzhong City. ”

Concubine Zhen sneered: "Even so, isn't Yelu Xiye's side also defeated in a big battle, and the military strength is insufficient?" He intended to kill the coach Liwei, so he set up a round formation to lure you into the formation. How did you fall into his trap? When the coach loses, won't the morale also collapse? ”

Yun Xi glanced at her and smiled slightly: "Before the beginning of this battle, Wei Chen knew that my Yunzhong City's military strength was not enough to resist the attack of the Yanjin Empire, so he summoned the Fengrui Battalion and the disciples of the Liren Pavilion to Yunzhong City as reinforcements. Although the reinforcements are launched in the starry night, it will take time to get on the road. Our reinforcements had not yet arrived, and Yelu Xiye had already noticed my mobilization of reinforcements, so he suddenly decided to attack my Cloud City. This attack happened suddenly, and Yanjin had the siege cannon Tiefutuo as an auxiliary, if we closed the city for a long time, we would lose the opportunity, and the city wall would also suffer from cannon damage, and it would be difficult to repair it in the short term. As soon as the city wall is lost, my cloud city will be like a dragon swimming in shallow water, and the price is too great. Only by highlighting surprise troops in the interval between the enemy's artillery fortifications and attracting their firepower can they hinder the rhythm of their assault on the walls. ”

He suddenly sighed, and the expression on his face turned to be willing and sincere: "...... Compared to Cloud City, what is the body of Weichen alone? Even if Weichen died, there was also King Xue Tianwang in Cloud City. As long as it can be delayed until the reinforcements arrive, no matter what, Zhaoyin can be invincible. In this way, Weichen's wish has been fulfilled, although he has no regrets in death. But fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time to break the battle situation, and Weichen had to save his life and come back to see Zhen Guifei. ”

He looked at Concubine Zhen with a pair of cold eyes, and suddenly his eyes moved, as if he was joking, and like mockery: "People say that if you don't go for three days, you should be impressed." Weichen hadn't seen Concubine Zhen for a long time, and he didn't expect Concubine Zhen to care so much about national affairs. I think you are in the deep palace and have never been to the front line, but you can also know everything about this battle, which really makes Weichen awe-inspired. Concubine Zhen is not only smart, but also has excellent courage. In order to meet Weichen, the first emperor's funeral place can secretly bury the knife and axe, which is indeed shrewd and decisive. The crown prince has his mother, and my subordinates can rest assured that they can defend the country. ”

Zhen Guifei's face was slightly red, she glanced around, and said in her heart - how did he know that I had secretly buried the knife and axe hand in advance. But now, she couldn't pretend anymore, waved her hand, ordered the knife and axe hand to come out, and sneered: "As the mother of the crown prince, I naturally have to know some state affairs, otherwise how to teach the prince?" Don't talk nonsense, the prince wants to borrow your tiger talisman military power, if you are a loyal minister, you will happily hand over the military power, and this palace will spare you from dying today. ”

Facing the approaching knife and axe hand, Yunxi was not in a hurry, neither humble nor arrogant, and the corners of his lips were pulled: "Did Concubine Zhen forget?" When the first emperor was alive, he ordered that the harem should not interfere in politics. The concubine indulges in pleasure on weekdays and has always ignored state affairs, but today she can talk eloquently in front of Weichen and ask several questions...... If it weren't for the close connection between the concubine and her mother's family, where would these front-line reports come from? Didn't the Zhen family reveal it to the concubine? ”

Zhen Guifei's face was even redder, she snorted, and did not speak.

Seeing her blushing, Yunxi took a step forward and said with a smile: "The Zhen family wants Weichen's military power, and wants to use it as a springboard to control the world, and Weichen is also a politician, so he understands it deeply." But the concubine must not forget that the Zhaoyin court is still dominated by the Li family, and more than half of the important ministers in the court are protégés of the Li family, regardless of whether they seek peace and war. Today, the Zhen family has sealed Lanjing City for the concubine, and all the ministers already know that the concubine has close contact with her relatives, and at that time, even if the prince succeeds to the throne, the Zhen family is also difficult to borrow the prince's momentum because of the unjustifiable name. At this level, has the concubine ever thought about it? ”

Seeing him step by step, Concubine Zhen Guifei's heart was slightly confused: "This ......"

Yun Xi laughed, took another step forward, stared at Zhen Guifei like an eagle falcon, and laughed loudly: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Zhen family grabs the Tiger Talisman in Weichen's hand, can it really mobilize tens of thousands of disciples in my Cloud City to serve the Zhen family?" As long as the army of Weichen is not released, the Li family of the main battle faction must first break through the city, and then enter the city to seize the prince, and then use the name of the Qing monarch to encircle and suppress the Zhen family, not only can the Zhen family not be able to keep the civil officials, but even whether the prince will be raised by the side of the concubine is a problem. The pros and cons here, I hope the concubine will think clearly. ”

Concubine Zhen Guifei is a straw bag, and this time she was able to put forward these political opinions, which was indeed granted by her mother's family.

Suddenly, Yun Xi smiled: "...... In fact, there is still room for change in this matter. ”

Concubine Zhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What leeway?" As soon as she asked, she knew that she was at a disadvantage and regretted it.

Yunxi was not in a hurry, and said with a slight smile: "Weichen helped the new emperor to ascend the throne, and the concubine and the new emperor decreed that Weichen be appointed regent and assist the dynasty." ”

Zhen Guifei said angrily: "You are taking advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"Is it robbing while the fire is on, my own historian commented." Yunxi dusted off the dust on his robe, so that he could take a moment, "Whether the prince ascends the throne or not, the Zhen family is always the Zhen family, even if the strength is weakened, but if you hold the dynasty for a long time, you will not be defeated." But the concubine is different. ”

Zhen Guifei's eyes moved: "Oh? ”

Yun Xi smiled slightly: "The reason why the concubine is highly respected now is because of the birth of the crown prince. For the concubine, the most important thing now is to let the crown prince ascend the throne as soon as possible. As long as the crown prince ascends the throne, everything will be logical next. If the crown prince does not ascend the throne for a day, the concubine will be a concubine for a day, and she will not become the queen mother. As long as she is not the queen mother for a day, once the Li family's relatives break the city, carry out the ancestral training, and order the concubine to follow the first emperor, how should the concubine shirk at that time? People are swords, I am fish and meat, and when soldiers meet, human nature is unpredictable. Wechen has been committed to seeking war, but he can protect himself. As for the concubine...... Who is respected as the queen mother after the death of the immortal, please forgive Weichen for being difficult to answer. ”
