Couldn't help it, Gu Yunjin's breath paused, she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, and then quickly took her gaze back.

Such a homely sentence, Gu Yunjin heard it a little wrong.

With that hurried glance, she couldn't tell the slightest difference from the queen mother's expression, of course, if the queen mother didn't want people to see through it, Gu Yunjin would not be able to see the clue for another life.

Maybe she was too careful, she thought.

In the first half of the sentence, the Queen Mother said it with a smile, and it was inevitable that the second half of the sentence was a little emotional.

After a little consideration, Gu Yunjin said softly: "The Third Highness and the Seventh Highness are back, I don't know when the little grandfather will return to Beijing......

The Empress Dowager asked, "Yunjin girl misses Ayuan?" ”

Gu Yunjin blinked his eyes and said, "If you think about it, how can you not want to." ”

The Queen Mother stroked her palms and laughed, very happy.

That's what I really want to do.

It is possible to hide your dislike of a person, but you really like a person, and you can't hide it between words and deeds.

Whenever Jiang Muyuan was mentioned, the Queen Mother could see the light in Gu Yunjin's eyes, so bright, so bright, and clearly conveyed this joy to the people around her.

She smiled and said, "When he comes back, talk about him well!" It has only been a long time since the new daughter-in-law entered the door, and she has been gathering less and leaving more, how can it be so painful? ”

Gu Yunjin came to the side of the queen mother and whispered: "A few days ago, the little grandfather came back from a letter and told me that Xuanping ......was there."

The chatter was all trivial matters, the people who spoke were serious, the people who listened were also smiling, and the previous floating uneasiness in the hall gradually subsided.

Until the sun set, Gu Yunjin left the Compassion Palace, looking at the little afterglow in the sky, she took a deep breath.

The more he got along with the Queen Mother, the more Gu Yunjin understood her excellence.

The Gao family is noble, she can stand out among the nobles and become the concubine of the first emperor who was still in Qianfu at that time, which depends on her background, but she can assist the first emperor through the imperial power struggle before and after his accession to the throne, sit firmly in the middle palace, and let the saint succeed to the throne smoothly, and the means and vision are naturally needless to say.

Is such a powerful queen mother really unaware of the thoughts of the saints?

Not to mention the moment, just the previous life, even if the Queen Mother did not guess that the Holy Lord was interested in Sun Zhen, but did she know the Holy Lord's ruthlessness towards Jiang Muyuan?

Gu Yunjin thought, even if she is not completely sure, the Queen Mother has some feelings, when she is an old man, she must have tried and beaten, after all, she is the biological mother of the saint, even if she is old, she can also restrain the saint, it is she who presses the saint and does not let him do it.

Therefore, the saint did not begin to cut power and suppress Jiang Muyuan until the death of the Empress Dowager, not that he did not dare to hurt the Empress Dowager's heart, nor did he feel that there was enough time to do it slowly, but he would also be afraid of the Empress Dowager.

Once upon a time, when did the Queen Mother become suspicious?

What about this life?

With the change of the saint's attitude towards the princes, several highnesses have advanced for the throne, will the queen mother notice those thoughts of the saint in advance?

In the previous life, he could still deduce from the results, but in this life, he couldn't start for the time being, the queen mother's thoughts were really hard to guess, and even Xiang Mama couldn't guess it, and Gu Yunjin was of course still far behind.

In the days that followed, the atmosphere in the court did not relax because of the safe return of the two princes, but became more and more solemn.

The battle in Nanling was stalemate, Dong Zhiwang sent people to defend the sealed pass, and the imperial court tried to attack and advance several times, but was blocked.

The war report that was not going well was sent to Beijing for a few days in succession, and in the court, the saint frowned and snapped.

Silent.

For a while, no one dared to speak.

The saint pressed his temple and said, "Tell me, what to do!" ”

How can this be done?

The difficulty of the moat cannot be explained in a few words.

Can it be easily overcome, or is it a moat?

Dong Zhiwang and Sun Bi relied on the advantage of the terrain to dare to set such a defensive position, gave up the towns on the periphery, and only stuck to the land within the sealed pass.

The fact that it can't be defeated at this moment is not the fault of the soldiers in front of it.

No matter how good the strategy is, it depends on the timing, to put it bluntly, it is to wait, it is to consume, and when the fighter appears, it will break through the seal in one go and take Nanling City directly.

But the imperial court can't afford to spend it, there is not enough money in the treasury, and there are many places to allocate silver, how can it be spent with Sun Bi to the end?

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the three divisions where officials were trapped in Nanling by Sun Bi had their own opinions everywhere, not only was there no unity in the imperial study, but there was a lot of noise in the Wenying Palace.

Sun Xuan sat upright and looked at Sun Rui a few times.

As mentioned in the previous battle report, the soldiers in front saved Sun Rui and Sun Zhen when they were preparing for a surprise attack on the pass, that is to say, if the surprise attack failed, they were defeated in the rescue, and they missed it at that time, and now they wait for the opportunity to become a war of attrition.

Sun Xuan wanted to bring up two sentences to "stab" Sun Rui, but when the words reached his throat, he felt that these words were meaningless.

It is impossible for the front-line soldiers not to save Sun Rui and Sun Zhen, and they got together by coincidence, and they can't blame Sun Rui for anything, anyway, everyone in Wenying Hall knows the inside story, and he specially brought it up, but it seemed that he was deliberately looking for trouble and fell behind.

Sun Xuan was pondering, only to hear Li Shilang of the household department mention Sun Qi, and he immediately pricked up his ears.

Li Shilang said: "The two highnesses return to Beijing safely, this is the most important, now that His Highness is still in the army, I think, no matter how you fight in the future, let Your Highness return to Beijing first." ”

Sun Xuan pursed his lips, he also felt that this matter was important.

Sun Qi wants to be tired of military exploits, and now that he counts, Nanling has not been recovered, and his merits are limited, in case General Yu and others really catch the fighter, suddenly break the seal, and march into Nanling City, then Sun Qi will be amazing!

It's better to drag Sun Qi back earlier, whether Nanling is good or bad has nothing to do with him.

In fact, it can't be bad, Sun Qi is not out of the army, Dong Zhiwang and Sun Bi are blindly defending, and they can't threaten Sun Qi at all.

Sun Xuan took Li Shilang's words, and said: "I think so too, third brother, why don't we make a proposal with our father and let the eldest brother return to Beijing first?" ”

Sun Rui raised his eyelids.

He only recuperated for two days before coming to Wenying Hall to discuss politics, and because he was not feeling well, he simply listened more and said less, and gradually straightened out the government and politics during the time he left Beijing.

I have to say that Sun Rui still admires Sun Xuan a little, in these days when they are not in Beijing, because Sun Miao and Sun Luo are not concerned about the throne, Sun Xuan, the "only seedling Miao", has made a lot of achievements in the Wenying Palace, not that he is popular, but his diligence and research make people quite good, a few old men do not say who they are looking at in their hearts, as long as Sun Xuan asks, they will carefully answer and point out to him.

It's also time for Sun Qi to return to Beijing to suppress Sun Xuan's momentum, or in other words, if Sun Qi doesn't make some movements, he may not be able to suppress Sun Xuan.

Sun Rui thought for a while and said, "The front-line war, A-Yuan knows best......"

"Then it's better to let the eldest brother come back with Ah Yuan," Sun Xuan said, "We sit in the rear, and only read the military newspapers, and in the end we don't know the situation better than they did in the front." ”
