Chapter 813: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
Shen Shu said that 'the mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings', what is the 'mountain rain', Shi Qingqian still doesn't know, but the 'wind' is really blowing.
More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye since the last incident in General He's Mansion, and nothing special has happened in these days, but the situation on the front line has been coming back day by day.
Shen Mi successively sent three armies out to support, and although the battle situation reached a relatively flat situation, there was no sign of victory in one fell swoop. The two sides of the Great Yu Kingdom and the Boshan Kingdom are at a standstill in the land of Taixiang, and they can't attack it, but the Yu Kingdom can't directly fight out.
Everything is a loss of terrain, there is a small piece of the northwest land of the Yu Kingdom that is negligent in prevention, because the terrain here is dangerous, the mountains are steep, and the summer is even more wooded, and the road is not clear at all, the emperors of the past dynasties feel that there is no need to have heavy troops to guard here, and the cities in this place are scattered and connected into a line, and few people can really break through the defense line of the Tianshan Mountains.
This Boshan country has attacked, and if a defense line is broken, it will be full of outward expansion, and now it is very difficult to be able to defend Taixiang well.
But Shi Qingqian felt that the matter of war was urgent. Most wars are a time-consuming and labor-intensive project, and a war that drags on for three or five years can really be resolved within a few months, either because the time and place are favorable, or the generals are outstanding, and the enemy's strategy is invincible.
It's just that even she, a woman, can see through the truth, and some people in the court refuse to buy it, and in a few words, they talked about the emperor's plan being not thorough enough and did not take care of the Taixiang area, which made people take advantage of the loophole.
Shen Mi was so angry that he had to ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse for almost three days, and when the military report of the last failed breakthrough came, Shen Mi had a serious illness and was suspended in Beijing for three days.
In the study of King Yan's Mansion, several men sat and talked.
"Now is the time for internal and external troubles," Shi Yuan sighed, his eyes stunned as he looked at the tea leaves in the teacup, "King Ning's matter has already buried trouble, the emperor is sick at this time, I'm afraid it will be a bigger hole for him." ”
"But...... He shouldn't be in a hurry to do it," Shi An frowned, he was not sent to the front line because of his small number of officers and small troops, "After all, Grandpa Wu Guo left Beijing with his troops, although he has not yet arrived in Taixiang, he is also missing an arm." ”
King Ning has military power in his hands, but it is still a lot different from the military attaches in the court, and Shen Mi took back a lot of military power as soon as he ascended the throne, and now the amount he holds in his hands is also considerable. In the past few days, King Ning has provoked trouble and lobbied, and many people in the court have become his supporters, including many former ministers of the former dynasty, quite like Mo Ruan's style of playing with the dynasty back then.
Now, they are not afraid that King Ning will have two hearts, but they are just anxiously and nervously waiting for when he will make a move. I'm afraid that he will suddenly make a move, and everyone will be caught off guard.
Shen Shu leaned back on the Taishi's chair, and there was a bit of tiredness in his eyes, "Gangchang ethics is the most important thing that binds people who can't move......
After saying this, there was silence in the study.
Several men were discussing government affairs in the study, Shi Qingqian naturally couldn't go in, so he just stayed in the backyard obediently, Sister Sheng and Si Binbin came to Yanwang's mansion after getting out of the school, and they were teasing meat at this time. The ball-like little Yao'er.
Shi Qingqian sighed softly, in the end, he is still a teenager, no matter how worried he is, he doesn't have to take it to heart, just care about his own good life.
Several female envoys were standing aside happily watching a few children playing, and suddenly a person came from behind the courtyard wall, Shi Qingqian turned his head to look and found that it was Na Qiaocui and Mother Niu. Mother Niu was holding some cloth in her hands, and Qiaocui walked over with a well-behaved face and said, "Princess, I have been idle in the yard for the past few days, so I started to make a few new clothes for my son." ”
Shi Qingqian's eyes lit up: "Oh? Your needlework is the best, let me see it! ”
This Qiaocui is a real southern gentle woman, never competing for favor, nor is she too flattering to Shi Qingqian, she only stays in Qingshui Ju every day to do needlework, and the mother Niu next to her should be afraid that the girl will be wronged, and she wants her to be more motivated every day, but Qiaocui refuses, and in the end she is not moved by Mother Niu.
It was the last time Shi Qingqian saw her embroidered purse, Shi Qingqian saw that she was sensible, so he asked her for two new ones, and then Qiaocui began to make clothes for Yao'er.
Compared with the crazy dream that is about to run to the hidden moon house, Qiaocui's temperament is weaker, her face is a little worse, and she doesn't have the dexterity of the crazy dream, but Shi Qingqian still prefers her, to put it mildly, Qiaocui is a little stupid and straightforward, although the mother Niu next to her has a tough attitude, she is also a straight intestine, and she will not be like the crazy dream and Ma Pozi's twisted heart.
Shi Qingqian likes such people the most, so he naturally treats them well.
Qiaocui's needlework is impeccable, even Zheng's mother is convinced, Sister Sheng has to come and see, she wants Yao'er to change and take a look, Shi Qingqian remembered that she had also changed clothes and combed braids for her younger brothers and sisters in her aunt's house, so she agreed happily and asked Lu Wei to go into the house to try on clothes with her.
Seeing that the child was gone, Qiaocui's face changed a little, and she sat next to Shi Qingqian and said, "Princess...... Actually, last night I heard some movement from the other side of Shimizu Residence......"
"Girl!" Mother Niu's face changed, and she scolded sharply, as if she didn't want her to continue.
Shi Qingqian glanced at Mother Niu, and before she could speak, Qiaocui continued to say firmly: "What did Mrs. Ma say to the girl who dreamed of dreams...... It seems、It seems that the medicine for the prince has been prepared。 I think it's because the prince hasn't been pampered for more than two months...... We, the girl of dreams, are in a hurry. ”
Now that there is turmoil outside, I didn't expect it to be the same at home, Shi Qingqian nodded to indicate that he knew, and gently held Qiaocui's hand: "Qiaocui, although you were sent by King Ning, I see that you are sincere, and I have never had tea with you, you told me about this I am very hurried, I dare not say that you have no selfish intentions, but I just want you not to betray Yanwangfu!" ”
"Although the slave maid is a down-and-out person, she also knows that she will never be able to raise her head if she is a concubine," Qiao Cui smiled, she never wanted to compete for favor from the beginning, and promised King Ning to come in and monitor Shen Shu just to survive, "The slave and maid told Princess Yan about this today, that is, she made up her mind to stand in line with the princess, and begged the princess to find an opportunity to find a good marriage for the slave and maid afterwards, the slave and maid should be big, never small!" ”
Sometimes, it is a reassuring thing to show what is in your heart so openly and honestly, Shi Qingqian saw her say this, so naturally he only nodded his head. As for whether it is credible, she is also keeping an eye on it now.
The mother cow glared at Qiaocui helplessly.
To tell the truth, Qiaocui really became the head lady of the family, but now that she has been reduced to such an identity, what kind of high-ranking family can she marry? The lady has a good reputation, but in the end she can't compare to such a concubine in Yanwangfu.
Mother Niu's mind is not bad, Zuo just wants to let her girl live a comfortable life, but unfortunately Qiaocui doesn't think so in her heart......
