In the Wenyuan Pavilion, several ministers were already discussing.

Jincheng reported urgently, Ye Yuanpei took the people of Qinghongzhou to attack the city for the first time, but it failed.

This is unfortunate news.

Ye Yuanpei was a legendary man in the Dasheng Dynasty, an undefeated general, although he was not really victorious and undefeated, but Jincheng was the place where he once fought.

There there about his glory and legends, which are still talked about in the mouths of the people, but now he has been defeated.

In the past, when King An was in Jincheng, he won no matter how much turmoil he stirred.

Now they don't even know who the other party is, and they are defeated.

Not to mention that the courtiers didn't believe it, even Zhuang Siyan and Ye Yuanpei didn't believe it.

Looking at the urgent text from Jincheng, everyone was surprised, and they always felt that they were dazzled, what did they see?

It took Zhuang Siyan a while to react: "Jincheng's troops, has it reached such a powerful point?" ”

Ling Tiancheng shook his head: "It's not that the troops are powerful, it's that they use cannon barrels." ”

Zhuang Siyan also used the cannon barrel in the last battle of Jincheng, why didn't they use it later, the biggest reason is that the explosives are really hard to get.

Where did the Jincheng Army come from now, and can it still be used on a large scale?

Zhuang Siyan didn't stay in Zichen Hall for too long, this matter was too strange, she had to ask the informant over there.

However, it has been strange for a while recently, and there is very little news from Jincheng informants.

Except for Sun Bao, Zhuang Siyan had other people, but they seemed to have disappeared together, and there was no news for a long time.

However, the matter of Zhan Jincheng is not trivial, if they take the Tianwen Sect, it is better to say, if they can't do it, then the matter will get worse and worse.

The battle of Jincheng is like a flame, no matter what, it must be extinguished, otherwise it will soon burn half of the Jiangnan in Dasheng.

Zhuang Siyan returned to the Xuan Hall and wrote two letters, one was sent to Jincheng with a flying pigeon, and the other was sent to Ye Yuanpei.

As soon as she sent the letter out, Li Fu came back, saying that Ling Tiancheng would go to Zichen Hall for her again.

It's getting late.

The summer sunset had already rolled to the horizon, dyeing half of the sky red by that time.

In the four corners of the sky in the palace, you can't see the round sunset, you can only see patches of colorful glow from the edge of the palace wall, and the sky is all over the sky.

Zhuang Siyan walked in such a glow.

Her steps were fast, but not heavy at all, and she didn't even make a sound when she walked.

Li Fu chased after him and fell down a long way, Zhuang Siyan turned around and asked him: "Gonggong Li, what did the emperor ask me to do?" ”

Li Fu: "Talking about the situation in Jincheng, the courtiers are a little panicked, and they have been speculating whether Wen Qing in Jincheng will return to the capital like King An." ”

Zhuang Siyan had a score in his heart, and his steps moved forward again.

What is the situation in Jincheng now, she doesn't know more than the ministers, but she has been there before, and she also knows the specific situation of King An's war, which is everyone's reassurance.

Sometimes, many people don't want you to do real help, but just some verbal comfort.

Zhuang Siyan can do these things, and he is familiar with them.

She quickly returned to the main hall and changed into a noble phoenix robe.

She rarely wears this kind of formal clothes, and usually when there is a banquet in the palace, everyone dresses very formally, and she is also very casual.

In the eyes of everyone, she may not be the mother of a country, but in fact, she is already the mother of a country.

When Ling Tiantian was born, someone proposed to make her the queen, but Zhuang Siyan did not agree.

is the queen concubine, it doesn't mean much to her, anyway, there are only a few people in the harem, she is already the biggest, and she is not worried about Ling Tiancheng finding someone else, so what else is there to fight for as a queen?

Besides, as a queen, the ministers have a bunch of rules waiting to say that she is much more restrictive than the concubine, and she doesn't want that.

Now, however, she was dressed in a splendid garment, and the gold ornaments on her head shone with dazzling brilliance in the light of the sunset.

She stood next to Ling Tiancheng, the king respected the nobles, and the courtiers below were stunned.

Zhuang Siyan's gaze slowly moved from each of them, and finally retracted it, and suddenly a shallow smile appeared on his face.

It seemed that the flowers were blooming at that moment, which eased the tense hearts of the ministers at once.

She said: "When King An was stationed, the palace was in Jincheng, and now I am not afraid to tell you that the palace was a doctor with the army at that time, of course, it was a woman disguised as a man."

Everyone knows about this, and they all know that in the harem, there is a concubine who often disguises herself as a man and goes out of the palace.

By the way, that person is Hongu.

To get back to the point, King An's strength, everyone knows that he occupied half of the south back then, and he didn't even pay attention to the emperor's words, he could do whatever he wanted.

General Ye returned from the northern frontier and began the southern expedition.

traveled a long way, but was ambushed by King An halfway through.

In that battle, King An was the head snake of the land, there were many soldiers, we fought from the north to the south, and there were no people and horses along the way, and there was no advantage at all.

But can you still find King Ann now?

Where is he?

He was already a rebel of the Dasheng Dynasty, and disappeared from this land forever.

Today, Wen Qing is in Jincheng.

Maybe everyone Aiqing doesn't know Wen Qing yet.

But Bengong is very familiar with him, he used to be in the capital, and when Bengong went out to do errands, he would often help a little.

Zhongzheng said that he has some talents, but if he wants to lead the troops to fight and dominate the city as the king, he still needs a lot of kings.

Someone just took the risk of changing there in his name, but it was because Wen Qing had some friendship with the palace when he was in the capital before.

So you know about it.

It's not as serious as you think, it's just that someone took advantage of Wen Qing's inability to kidnap him, use him, and in turn make trouble in the Dasheng Dynasty.

It is very likely that General Ye's letter is just a false pretense.

The Jincheng army would think that he was really defeated, and they had already begun to ask for help from the capital, so they would relax their vigilance to give General Ye a chance.

Even if it's true, even if it's true.

Don't you still believe in General Ye's combat power?

He is the general of our Dasheng Dynasty, from the north to the south, it is not that he has never been to Pingyang Pass in the west, what kind of battle has not been fought, what kind of people have not seen, can this stump him? ”

Her words were unhurried and sonorous, and every word was like a thousand pounds of boulders, pounding into people's chests at once.

Let them hurt, and let them remember that those who oppose the Dasheng Dynasty will die in the end, and they will win in the end, they will take back Jincheng, return the people to peace, and return the court to peace.

After the ministers dispersed, Ling Tiancheng sat on the throne and looked at her for a long time.

Zhuang Siyan turned around, his body was still full of brilliance, but he already had a very mischievous smile on his face: "How is it?" Am I saying it well? Do you want to give me a little reward? ”

Ling Tiancheng took a moment before he said very slowly: "No kind of reward is worthy of you, I feel that there is nothing to be proud of owning this country, but having you is really more valuable than anything else." ”

Zhuang Siyan made a bird-like expression, flew into his arms like a butterfly, put his face to his chest and said, "Really? I think so too, it's better to have you than anything else. ”

After this incident, the court was worried and weak, and the courtiers began to devote more energy to serious matters.

The Ministry of Industry built water conservancy and restructured farmland.

The military department prepared grain and grass and prepared winter clothes for the soldiers on the battlefield.

The household department from all over the source of income and reduce expenditure, and strive to use every tael of silver where it should be used.

The Ministry of Officials recruits talents, and while conducting this year's recruitment test, they recruit people who practice martial arts.

And Tang Geng has also made a new breakthrough in Jiawan, and has found out where the five thousand taels of silver went.

It turns out that it is really still in Hefu, but Lord He doesn't know.

In addition, she also said a lot about Tianwen Sect, including the news they communicated with the north and south, as well as the things they wanted to seek in the capital.

In the capital, most of the court officials' families, as well as the wives of merchants, have their Tianwen Sect people.

This is either rich or expensive, like Jia Wan, belongs to technical talents, although her technique is to seduce men, but the men who seduce are willing to stick a knife in her ribs, which is also a unique skill.

They had the news of the DPRK and China, and they knew Ling Tiancheng's movements, as well as the movements of the north and the south.

It turned out to be better than Zhuang Siyan's intelligence network, bigger, and deterrent.

Tang Geng said: "Jiawan's level is too low, these are the only things that can be said, and the people we have contact with are limited, we have to touch further inside, and finally there is a list of people who can find them, so that we can find out all the people inside." ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "The person who takes the list must be the general leader of the entire capital, and it is not easy to find him." ”

Tang Geng didn't speak.

Zhuang Siyan thought for a while before asking, "Then what are you going to do with Jiawan?" ”

Tang Geng: "I still want to ask Mr. about this?" What do you want to do with her? ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "She is useless at this time, and it doesn't mean much to us whether to stay or not." ”

Tang Geng paused slightly before replying: "It doesn't make much sense to keep it, but it makes sense to let it out." Since she is a member of the Tianwen Sect, she will definitely contact them when she goes out, so we can follow her and look for her further. ”

Zhuang Siyan: "She is very vigilant, our people have followed her before, but they didn't find anything." ”

Tang Geng laughed: "Sir, I've heard the story of wolves catching yellow sheep. ”

Zhuang Siyan tilted his head and didn't speak.

Tang Geng said: "The yellow sheep runs fast, and the wolf can't catch up if it chases, so when it finds the yellow sheep, it won't rush to chase it, but will only quietly follow it behind."

I followed him until it was dark, and I followed the yellow sheep to sleep.

But the yellow sheep are also very alert when sleeping, as soon as the wolf approaches, they will find that when they run, the wolf still has an advantage in fighting.

So the wolf is not busy with it, it has to wait.

Wait until it's almost dawn.

Yellow Sheep slept safely all night, even holding his urine, and before he woke up in the morning, he found that the wolf was coming, and he was anxious to run, but the urine bubbles were so suffocated that he couldn't run away.

Naturally, it has become a delicacy in the mouth of the wolf.

The wolf not only knows the characteristics of the yellow sheep, but also has enough patience.

Just like us now, we know that Jia Wan will definitely contact Tianwen Sect, so we must also show full patience and stare at her slowly until she can't hold it back. ”
