Feng Xianji's speed was very fast, and before Ruidi could react, he had already led his troops to detour through Gansu and attack the capital from the west.

Rui Di should have been vigilant when Feng Xianji did not send troops to reinforce King Lu, but because he relaxed for a while, he thought that Feng Xianji had retreated because of the difficulty, so he did not pay attention to it. When the Gansu garrison was defeated by Feng Xianji, he understood that this was a drama of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao".

"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops from Taiyuan and protect the capital." This was the first reaction of Ruidi.

Although Zhou Suizhi is not a military general, he is also among the members of the discussion war because he is very important. He had a different opinion with Ruidi, "Let's withdraw the troops from Taiyuan, the distance is long, and when the reinforcements arrive, Feng Xianji's soldiers and horses have already handed over to the garrison in the capital. Again, this time the troops were originally intended to attack King Lu, and now the situation in Shandong is just right, King Lu can't hold his own round, so it is better to make a big move, let Taiyuan soldiers and horses gallop to Shandong, and completely take down King Lu's party. ”

Rui Di looked at him and disagreed, "You mean to let the garrison of the capital hold on for a few rounds, and then come back to rescue the capital after the army has destroyed King Lu's faction?" But in this way, if the capital can't be held for half a month, it will definitely be broken! ”

"There are 80,000 garrisons around the capital, and the people and horses brought by Feng Xianji this time are only 100,000, which can be regarded as hollowing out his old base. The city defense of the capital is strong, as long as the command is right, it is not a problem to garrison for three months. On the contrary, it is Feng Xianji, can his grain and grass last for a month? He made a detour from Gansu and did not fight directly with the Taiyuan soldiers, just because he didn't want to startle the snakes, the soldiers were fast, and he couldn't afford to fight at speed! ”

"What Zhou Xiang said is reasonable, if the Taiyuan soldiers are allowed to retreat, maybe they will encounter the front and back attacks of Feng Xianji and King Lu, and it will be more than worth the loss."

"The four cities of the capital are impregnable, how can they be so easy to break? We have food and men and horses in the city, and we can afford to spend them. According to Chen's view, since Feng Xianji played this trick with us to surround Wei and save Zhao, it is better for us to use the same trick to fight back. ”

Rui Di squinted, "Do you mean to attack Luoyang while he is leaving?" ”

"Exactly, pull out his lair, let him not enter or retreat, and die here."

Rhetti listened to everyone's advice and already had an idea in his heart. That's right, defense is the next policy, and taking the initiative to attack is the best policy, Feng Xianji has shown him. Why can't we treat others the way they do?

Now that the major policy has been decided, the next question is how to defend the city and who to appoint as the commander.

On the moon on the willow tops, Zhou Suizhi slowly returned home.

Xu Erzhang took the meal, personally helped him change his clothes, and accompanied him to dinner.

"Didn't I ask someone to tell you not to wait for me, why haven't you had dinner yet?" Zhou Suizhi frowned.

"I'm not hungry after eating snacks with the boys in the afternoon, so I'm just waiting for you to use it together." Xu Er said that he was serving him soup. She had always been strong-boned, and it didn't matter if she was hungry for two or three meals, only he would take care of her like a fragile porcelain, which was funny to say.

Zhou Suizhi glared at her, and took the soup bowl in her hand, "Don't take it as an example, you have to eat when it's time to eat, people like you just haven't been hungry." ”

"Why haven't you been hungry? I don't know how many times I was hungry before I met you, and I almost went to ask for food at the worst time! She talked about the past with a big grin, not knowing that anyone would feel distressed when she heard it.

Zhou Suizhi sighed in his heart, she is so porcelain, it is not who can live with such a smile after the destruction of the family, this is not easy. Although his wife's head is a little simpler, it is precisely because of such simplicity that she can cheer up and live well after experiencing the tragedy, and he has to thank her for being so arrogant.

"Okay, don't talk about the past, eat." The way of the week.

Xu Er glanced at him, "I'm not sad, what are you sad about...... Okay, okay, eat. Seeing that his expression was about to change, she quickly stopped the topic, reached out and grabbed him a piece of meat from the back of the fish and handed it to him in a bowl to curry favor.

The two of them finished their meal in silence, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

"I haven't had time to ask you, how is today?" She sat cross-legged on the bed and pushed him.

Zhou Suiyi put one hand behind his head and held a book in the other, looked at it through the light at the head of the bed, and said in an idle manner, "I thought you could hold back and not ask." ”

"Say it quickly, did the Dog Emperor agree?" Since Emperor Rui expressed his murderous intent to Feng Yu, Xu Er's title for him was changed to "Dog Emperor".

"Not far from ten."

"Really?" She literally jumped three feet high.

Zhou Suizhi felt the bed tremble violently a few times, and had the illusion that it was going to collapse in the next moment, so he quickly reached out and grabbed her, "You are careful, how can you be so happy!" ”

"Of course I'm happy, this trick to invite you into the urn is really beautiful!" Xu Er excitedly took his hand and praised him, "Or husband, you have a way, you can put the dog emperor into the sleeve in three clicks and two clicks!" ”

The corners of Zhou Suizhi's mouth pulled an arc, and said, "To serve my wife, I should do my best." ”

Xu Er's heart was moved, and he moved forward a few points, and the two of them were inseparable from each other, with their foreheads against their foreheads.

"Husband, everything you have now is not easy to come by, can you really bear to give it up?" He has walked for 18 years from a cloth cloth to the first assistant of the cabinet, and now he has finally seen the light of day, but he has to make way for her dream of recovering the country, is it worth it?

Zhou Suizhi was pressed by her head and couldn't move, his foreheads pressed against each other, and his breath blended, "I only asked now, you are really dull enough." ”

"It's me who can't stand you, between the two of us, I will always be sorry for you."

"Wrong." Zhou Suizhi resolutely corrected her, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have chosen this path, in that case, I would just be a teacher at most today, what is there to give up?" ”

It is beneficial for her to go to such a position, so he will continue to go on for ten years. It's not a pity that it all started with her and ended with her.

Xu Er's eyes were red, she didn't know where she got the good fortune to marry such a man. When I met Zhou Suizhi, I probably used her third...... No, it should be the well-being of the tenth generation.

"Don't ask me anything like that again, and don't think about whether it's worth it or not."

“…… Good. ”

She didn't ask anymore, anyway, she would give him the rest of her life, sharing joys and sorrows.

In the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, after the courtiers dispersed, Rui Di did not rest, he was looking at the map, analyzing the offensive route that Feng Xianji might choose.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."

"Biography."

The queen, the former princess Rui, came with sweet soup to say goodbye.

Rui Di has always respected her, and seeing that she hadn't rested so late, he stepped forward to hold her hand and said with concern, "You are not well, you should rest earlier." ”

"Your Majesty remembers to care about your concubines, why doesn't you remember to care about yourself?" The queen replied gently, "Although there are many government affairs, you must take your time, you are young and can bear it now, and you can bear it when you are old." ”

Rui Di smiled and patted her hands, "The queen taught a lesson." ”

"The concubine is terrified." The queen hurriedly took a step back and bowed her head.

"Okay, do we still have such a life as a husband and wife? Come, accompany me to use this soup, and I will know that it is your craft when I smell it. Rhetty pulled her and sat down with her.

The palace people divided the soup into two parts, two small cups, and placed them in front of the emperor and queen.

"Well, this fish soup is really delicious, the entrance is delicate and there is no fishy smell, and it is well handled." Rhett praised without hesitation.

"Your Majesty likes it."

Rui Di said, "You used to love cooking in the palace, but now that you are the queen, you don't have to do these things yourself, I feel distressed." ”

In all fairness, whether it was the former King Rui or the current emperor, he never treated his wife too badly. Although he firmly binds his wife to himself in terms of interests, and even sometimes takes advantage of it, he gives her absolute power in the inner house, and no one can compete with her. Coupled with his gentleness and thoughtfulness, such a husband was extremely enviable in the past, and now that he has ascended the throne, it makes people sigh at the queen's good fortune.

For example, people know how cold and warm they are when they drink water. The queen never defended, smiled slightly, and hid everything in her heart.

"How can a husband who serves himself be in the hands of others? No matter what the status of the concubine is, it is all given by His Majesty, and of course she must serve Her Majesty wholeheartedly. The queen said softly.

Rhetti looked at her with love in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu Zhou is back, and I have something important to face." The little eunuch entered the door and reported.

Rui Di collected the emotions in his eyes, put down the soup bowl, and said, "Pass." ”

The queen got up, "Since Your Majesty has something important to do, the concubine will go back first." ”

"Don't worry, you stay with me tonight."

"The concubine went to the back to hide for a while, the foreign minister is here, and it is inconvenient for the concubine to appear."

Emperor Rui was very satisfied with the queen's knowledge and etiquette, nodded and agreed.

After the queen entered the inner room, Xu Zhou was also led in by the little eunuch, and after asking for peace, he presented his investigation report to Ruidi.

"Entrusted by His Majesty, the minister secretly visited southern Xinjiang, and finally lived up to his mission." Xu Zhou said, "The King of the Southwest did send troops to attack Southern Xinjiang at first, but after the chief general of the forward army, Lei Dui, and the female monarch of Southern Xinjiang fought alone for two rounds, the army suddenly withdrew from Southern Xinjiang. ”

Rhett held the investigation report in his hand and looked at it at a glance. When he saw the place where the female monarch of Southern Xinjiang and the king of the southwest had formed an ally, he couldn't help but slap his palm on the table.

"Bastard!"

Xu Zhou bowed his head silently, naturally knowing what he was angry about. Southern Xinjiang could have become a sharp sword stabbing at Feng Xianji, but now it is a big disappointment, they have formed an alliance, and the enemy who is the common crusade is naturally Ruidi!

"Your Majesty, now the strategic role of southern Xinjiang has been lost." Xu Zhoudao.

Rui Di sneered three times, his gaze returned to the fold, and his attention fell on the four words "Southern Xinjiang Female Monarch". He asked, "Is this female monarch the blood of the royal family of Southern Xinjiang?" Didn't they all clean up back then? ”

"The minister has been in the capital of Li for so long, and I learned that the people of southern Xinjiang are very convinced of this female monarch, and they have no doubt about her identity, it seems that it is because the female monarch has a national jade pendant in her hand."

"It's just a jade pendant, so useful?"

"The southern Xinjiang is passed on, and there must be jade pendant to corroborate. The royal family of southern Xinjiang will be given a jade pendant by the monarch regardless of whether it is born or not, and the style is similar, but the jade pendant of the female monarch is different from the rest of the royal family, and her jade pendant seems to have been handed down by the previous king of southern Xinjiang himself. The minister has never seen this jade pendant, but the former ministers of southern Xinjiang think of her identity, so it can be inferred that the identity of this female monarch must be undoubted. ”

"You've been lurking for so long, can you get a portrait of the Lady?"

Xu Zhou took out the folded paper from his arms, stepped forward to unfold it, and said, "The female monarch travels secretly, even if she visits the people, she never publicizes it." Fortunately, the ministers were lucky, and before the closure of the city, Li had seen her gossiping with a child on the street, and took the opportunity to draw it. ”

Xu Zhou slowly unfolded the portrait that had been hidden on his chest for many days, and Rui Di raised his eyes to look, and when the person in the painting showed his full face, he suddenly stood up in shock.

"How could it be her!"

The person in the painting, even if it is reduced to ashes, he can recognize it.

Xu Zhou is his secret pile, in the past, Emperor Rui was not favored, and he naturally had few opportunities to enter the palace, so naturally he did not deal with the people in the painting. But when he saw His Majesty's panicked and shocked look, he faintly felt that this woman would be very tricky for His Majesty.

Rhetti grabbed the paper and looked at it several times from beginning to end, his eyes as if he was going to burn a hole in the paper.

In the inner room, the queen heard such a big movement, got up and walked behind the curtain, and gently opened the beaded curtain to look out. Rui Di was grabbing the drawing paper and looking up and down in disbelief, even if it was a face that he could recognize at a glance, he was looking at it again and again, for fear of misjudgment.

The portrait was facing her direction, and her eyes narrowed, and she could tell by the outline why he was so shaken. Not surprisingly, she seemed to be the only person who could make him so panicked.

Tang Feng, she really didn't disappear so easily. No, I changed my identity and came back.
