Yan Yunge and Xiao Yi already had plans to raise troops to the north again.

However, there is still a key opportunity.

They are waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

Liu Baoshun's 'seizure' of the Xiao family, the lord of Pingyang, was originally an opportunity, but it was not enough.

Not enough chips, the timing is not right.

"You'd better give me another year."

Yat made a request.

"In one year, I was able to train more soldiers. It is easy to wave troops north, but the difficult thing is how to stabilize the rear. There is also new territory in hand, where will the troops come from to stabilize the situation and deter Xiaoxiao. If you don't have enough troops, everything is empty talk, and the territory you get will be taken away in the blink of an eye, and the local families will follow suit. ”

His concerns were well founded.

Strength is everything.

There are not enough troops, and waving troops to the north is just a waste of money and money.

Yan Yunge's face hesitated.

She said: "Liu Baoshun's strategy of winning over civil official families has been supported by a large number of people. changed the situation when Liu Zhang was in power. If it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before the political situation in Beiliang is stable and people are at ease.

It can be seen that we all expected Liu Baoshun wrongly. In the past, everyone thought that Liu Baoshun would inherit Liu Zhang's will, and the father and son were in the same lineage, and their methods were as strict and ruthless. However, it turns out that Liu Baoshun knows how to be flexible more than his son Liu Zhang.

He suppressed his bloodthirsty instincts, resorted to gentle methods, and achieved initial success. He tasted the sweetness, as long as he persisted, he would definitely be able to sit on the throne within two or three years and change the situation in Beiliang. ”

"You're worried that if we wait, we'll lose the opportunity to go north." Xiao Yat asked her.

She nodded, not denying it.

"What I'm looking forward to most now is for Liu Baoping to hurry up. As long as the two brothers of the Liu family openly turn against each other, we will have the opportunity to wait. ”

"What about the Southern Wei Dynasty? Aren't you worried about taking advantage of the emptiness of the Seven Counties and taking the opportunity to send troops? ”

"So stone temperature is the key."

However, Shi Wen can't afford to be early. He helped you last time, and he may not help you again next time. Especially when Xiao Chengwen threw kindness to Shi Wen. ”

Yan Yunge is sad!

She urgently needed to know about the situation in the Jianzhou Taizheng Palace.

It's just that......

She didn't want to embarrass her second sister, so she never asked her second sister about the situation in the palace.

She had to do it from other sources.

"In the past two years, Xiao Chengwen has a series of abnormal operations, have you noticed anything?"

Xiao Yi was about to speak, when two little children rushed in.

Rushing to the front, it is naturally the little baby Yan Qijin children.

Brother Yan Jiujin followed behind, busy explaining: "My brother had to come in, I stopped it, but I didn't stop it." ”

"I don't blame you."

Yan Yunge beckoned to the child.

Brother Yan Jiujin came to his mother's side, raised his head and asked, "Are you disturbing your father and mother talking about business?" I'll take my brother out. ”

When Yan Qijin heard this, he was anxious.

"I'm not going out. I want my father and mother. ”

He lay in the arms of his father Xiao Yi and did not let go.

Xiao Yi: "Good son, daddy will take you to play." ”

As soon as he picked up the child, Yan Qijin's children giggled, laughing very happily.

As the laughter faded away, Yan Yunge asked, "Is your homework done?" ”

Brother Yan Jiujin nodded heavily, "Today's homework has been completed, and the rest of the homework has also been pre-studied." ”

"Come, tell me about today's lesson, and write it down silently. Knowing that you want to go out and play, I'll let you out when I'm done writing. ”

Yan Jiujin grinned, looking extremely happy.

"Thank you, mother!"

He can 'play on orders,' hahaha......

The child's happiness infected Yan Yunge, and his mood became cheerful, and his thinking became more and more agile.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind, and a huge plan gradually took shape.

There was no chance to send troops, so she created opportunities for herself.

……

Jianzhou City Grand Palace.

Empress Dowager Tao's life is very hard!

Some time ago, because of the accidents of the three county kings one after another, she was really sick for a while.

Once he was sick and couldn't get out of bed, even the imperial doctor shook his head again and again, saying that there was nothing he could do.

When Shaofu quietly began to prepare for the future, she never expected that her body would miraculously recover.

Not only lived, but alive and well.

My body is getting better day by day, and I can not only get out of bed, but also go out and walk, and my face has become ruddy.

Princess Dingtao often visited the palace and said one after another: "The queen mother is a blessed person who will live a long life." ”

Empress Dowager Tao smiled at first, and then pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said, "I'm afraid that some people don't want this palace to live a long life." ”

Ding Tao was stunned.

"Can't the queen mother and the royal brother talk well?"

"Every time this palace takes the initiative to soften, but your imperial brother doesn't give face! It is not enough for the three county kings to be forced to death by him, he still wants to force the palace to death. ”

Princess Dingtao's face turned pale.

On one side is her mother, and on the other side is her brother, she is caught in the middle and is difficult to be.

In fact, she is soft-spoken.

No one will listen to her words, no one will treat her as a dish.

But as long as she has the influence of Princess Chengyang, what she says, Empress Dowager Tao will listen to a few words.

What a pity!

Empress Dowager Tao glanced at her, a little disappointed and a little disgusted.

"What's the matter, are you blaming the people of this palace for not being old-hearted, and fighting with your imperial brother for power and profit all day long?"

My daughter didn't think so. The atmosphere in the palace was depressing, which must have been caused by the conflict between the queen mother and the imperial brother. Otherwise, I will send someone to invite the royal brother to come over, and the queen mother will talk to him well. How can mother and son have an overnight feud. ”

"Excuse me!" Empress Dowager Tao bluntly refused, "This palace should no longer whisper and beg your imperial brother for mercy, anyway, he has never considered the feelings of this palace." ”

Princess Dingtao frowned, "Do you want to be like this all the time?" ”

Empress Dowager Tao smiled, "You, just take care of your own affairs." You can't interfere in the conflict between this palace and your imperial brother. ”

Moreover, he is not qualified to intervene.

In order to give her face, Empress Dowager Tao did not speak ill of her.

Dingtao looked bitter, "Then what can I do?" ”

"If you have the heart, it is enough to be willing to enter the palace to visit the palace. You accompany the palace to chat, chatting, chatting, this palace's heart, I feel comfortable. By the way, what's going on with your sister-in-law now? ”

"Which sister-in-law is the queen mother talking about?"

"Who else. Isn't it the sister-in-law who was canonized as the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian. ”

"The queen mother is talking about the third sister-in-law, she is okay at the moment. I went to see her last month and I was feeling a little better. Come to think of it, I will soon be able to come out of the grief of losing a child. ”

"Come out? Hehe! Empress Dowager Tao smiled contemptuously, "Middle-aged and widowed, her only son is gone, do you really think she can come out?" ”

Dingtao was dumbfounded, in fact, she was not sure.

Empress Dowager Tao said again: "Princess Chengyang originally said that she wanted to take her back to the princess's mansion to live, but she refused. As you can imagine, she has always held a grudge and has always remembered her identity.

Your royal brother is a goblin, and he has been guarding against her. So under the pretext that she is an ominous person, she has always refused to let her enter the palace. She was not even allowed to enter the palace to greet the palace.

Your imperial brother is afraid! He is afraid that after your third sister-in-law enters the palace, it will be detrimental to the queen and the prince. Got it? ”

Princess Dingtao's heart trembled, "Could it be that the queen mother misunderstood the intentions of the imperial brother?" ”

Empress Dowager Tao laughed and said firmly: "Your imperial brother came out of the belly of this palace, and no one in the world knows her better than this palace."

Zhong Shuyun is resentful, your imperial brother only has one son, and the treasure is like an eyeball. He would never allow anyone in the palace to threaten the prince's safety.

Look, soon there will be rumors in the streets and alleys that your third sister-in-law is a god-shattering person, Kefu, Kezi, and Ke royalty! Rumors kill people, and there has always been no disadvantage.

Carrying the reputation of Kefukezi, Zhong Shuyun is finished, and she can't afford to make waves. ”

"Doesn't the queen mother?" Dingtao looked terrified.

Empress Dowager Tao sneered: "Why does this palace want to meddle in this matter? Zhong Shuyun is already an outcast, she is crazy. You don't have much to do with her in the future, and beware of her manipulating you. ”

Ding Tao nodded slowly, "Is the queen mother going to give up the third sister-in-law?" ”

"Or else?" Empress Dowager Tao looked at her silly girl with a smile.

Dingtao was very irritable, she couldn't tell which of the queen mother's words was true and which was false.

She could feel that people were playing with her like a fool and coaxing her to talk.

She is not a three-year-old child, she is the noble princess, but she is not given the respect she deserves.

Whether the queen mother really gave up Zhong Shuyun or fake gave up, she couldn't tell.

However, she made up her mind that she would never get involved in this matter.

Simply, she will be a qualified 'fool' in the eyes of people!

……

Zhong Shuhao took the time to visit his sister Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, Zhong Shuyun.

He solemnly warned her, "Don't go to the palace, and don't contact Yan Yunge." Yan Yunge, she is very dangerous, she has been using you. ”

When Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "I think back then, my brother didn't marry Yan Yunge, he was so persistent, it's amazing." Now, my brother reminded the palace to stay away from Yan Yunge. It's really impermanent. ”

Zhong Shuhao was slightly irritable, "I'm for your good!" Yan Yunge is very ambitious, if she contacts you, she will definitely be uneasy. At this point, you can't afford to be confused! ”

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun lowered her head and smiled, her eyes resentful.

In the blink of an eye, she regained her composure, "Don't say that Yan Yunge hasn't contacted me, even if she really sends someone to contact me, it's impossible for me to trust her."

I trusted her once, but it cost me dearly. I'm not smart, but I don't fall in the same place twice.

You're just unfounded, and you don't trust me at all.

Instead of worrying about me falling for Yan Yunge, you should worry about worrying about your mother.

As far as I know, in the past few years, my mother has not cut off contact with Yan Yunge. Beware, Yan Yunge once again used her mother to make it easier for her to profit from it. ”

Hearing the other party say this, Zhong Shuhao was obviously relieved, "As long as you are on guard, I will rest assured." We've all grown up and aren't the same people we used to be. Yan Yunge back then was straightforward and simple. Now she is like a hero. You can't go wrong with her. ”

"Does my brother regret it? regretted not insisting on marrying her back then. If you insist on it, maybe she will be your wife. With the financial resources of the Zhong family and Yan Yunge's ability, a change of heaven and earth is just around the corner. ”
