Zheng Qizhi's army has begun to retreat, he set off on the front foot, Wen Shuo wrote an urgent document on the back foot and sent someone to send it to the king of Zhou, he didn't know that the digging was not in the pickaxe capital at the moment, so this letter was received by Zheng Boyou on his behalf, opened the bamboo slip inside and saw the content on it, his heart was pinched, and then put the bamboo slip away, he wanted to see how Ji Gongyan decided this matter.

Although he was convinced that Ji Gongyan would support Zheng Qiyi, Zheng Boyou still had a trace of expectation in the end, hoping that Ji Gongyan could at least change his mind this time, not for anything else, but for the achievements he had made in governing Zheng Guo during the many years he had been in the position of Zheng Bo...... And the mother.

Uncle Zheng entered Beijing this time, and he was more low-key than before, he came with his wife this time, and brought his family with him, so he almost emptied his Zheng mansion. After settling down, when he was in the court, Zheng Boyou suddenly appeared in the court, and Ji Gongyu was startled, and after the early dynasty retreated, he repeatedly confirmed with Uncle Zhao whether Zheng Boyou had sent a post this time.

"No," Uncle Zhao shook his head.

"It's strange...... Ji Gongyu said, "This time I came here for a big wedding, but I didn't inform the widow early?" ”

"You can't blame Uncle Zheng," Uncle Zhao said, "After all, this time the king transferred the tiger away from the mountain to leave Zheng Qizhi with the opportunity to seize Zheng, that is, how generous Zheng Bo and his people are, they don't care about power, I'm afraid they feel uncomfortable, right?" ”

"You say he's like a saint!" Ji Gongyan glared at Uncle Zhao.

"Don't miss the king......" Uncle Zhao was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed his words.

"Sycophants aren't your forte!" Ji Gongyan snorted coldly, "What is going on in Qi and Song now?" ”

"The more involved, the bigger it gets, I received the news, the Chu State has set off, and the digging is about to arrive in Taocheng, the Wei State is afraid that it will not be able to stay alone, and the Zheng State will also fall into the war of seizing the heir, this Central Plains situation is ......" Uncle Zhao said and shook his head, "If the war comes to the beginning, it will not stop, and I hope that the king will think twice before acting!" ”

"What are you thinking?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"Si ......" Before Uncle Zhao finished speaking, someone came in outside the door, "Report!" ”

"What?" Ji Gongyan turned to look at the person who came in outside the door and asked.

"See the king," said the soldier who came in outside the door, "report to the king, General Wen has sent urgent documents from northern Jin. After he finished speaking, he handed over the document with both hands, Ji Gongyan took the bamboo slip and opened it to review the contents, and after reading it, his face did not even change and handed the letter to Uncle Zhao, "Dispose of it, I haven't received it." ”

"Yes!" Uncle Zhao took the sound to see Ji Gongyan leave from the inner hall of Dazai Palace, and then unfolded the letter and saw the content on it, it was Wen Shuo who told Ji Gongyan that Zheng Qizhi led the army to leave northern Jin, Ji Gongyan didn't see this letter, that is, he wanted to acquiesce in Zheng Qizhi's seizure, Uncle Zhao took a long sigh, this ending was what he had expected early on, but he didn't look particularly surprised.

Ji Gongyan hurriedly returned to the East Palace, Bao Xi was sorting out the incomplete sheet music found these days, plucking the strings with one hand, staring at the palace merchant Jiao Zhengyu on the bamboo slip with the other hand pondering, when he heard someone coming in, he pressed the strings on the piano surface, stood up and went to greet the king, "Why is it so early today?" ”

"You prepare, Uncle Zheng has entered Beijing, since this big wedding is what the widow refers to, you should also have a banquet for Uncle Zheng." Ji Gongyan instructed Bao Xi, and Bao Xi nodded slightly, "The concubine knows, when is it set?" ”

"The sooner the better, he came quietly this time ......" Ji Gongyan's hand clenched, looking a little dissatisfied with this matter, "I don't know when I entered Beijing, but the court suddenly appeared today, and I was startled, thinking that I had seen the wrong person!" ”

"I'm afraid it's ......" Bao Xi didn't say anything halfway through, pursed her lips at Ji Gongyan, and continued, "The concubine sent someone to Xuandan, right?" ”

"What are you going to say?" Ji Gongyu asked.

Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan's appearance, and finally shook his head, "I don't want to say anything, the king is hungry, right?" ”

"What the hell?" Ji Gongyan grabbed Bao Xi's arm with one hand and held it tightly in his hand, Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and sighed, "I'm afraid that I know that the king has planned to divert the tiger from the mountain, and he is ready to give way to General Zheng, so he arrived in the capital so quietly, and I am afraid that there are many complaints against the king and the concubines!" ”

"What? What is there to complain about the success and defeat of the king? Ji Gongyan asked with a frown.

"It's true that King Cheng is defeated, but the two armies are facing each other, how does the king know that the defeat must be Uncle Zheng?" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, knowing that she was going to quarrel with Ji Gongyan when she said this, but she still said this, she just looked at Ji Gongyan like that, and Rao was a little provocative.

"Do you want to let the two of them confront each other on the battlefield, fight in Zheng Guo, and see which one is stronger and which is weaker, do you feel happy?" Ji Gongyan yelled at Bao Xi, Bao Xi was stunned for a moment, and then pulled Ji Gongyan's arm and said, "The concubine just wants to tell the king why Zheng Bo is angry in his heart, not to quarrel with the king, or question the king's decision!" ”

"You say that, what is it that is not a quarrel?" Ji Gongyan shouted at Bao Xi, like a child.

"The king is hungry!" Bao Xi glared at Ji Gongyan as she spoke, and walked towards the door to go to Xuandian, but the whole person was grabbed by Ji Gongyan and pulled back, "What's the point of arguing half of the quarrel?" If you have something to say, you'll be done. ”

"I've finished what the concubine has to say," Bao Xi said as she looked at Ji Gongyan.

"If I let Uncle Zheng stay in Zheng Guo, won't Zheng Qizhi take this Zheng Guo? When the time comes, Zheng Qizhi and Zheng Bo's two armies will be compared, and it will be the people of Zheng Guo who will suffer, what is wrong with the widow doing this? Ji Gongyan stared at Bao Xi's eyes and asked, he didn't know when he started, and his behavior had to be recognized by Bao Xi.

"If you can't fight," Bao Xi replied, "does the king want to make a bet with his concubine?" If the fight can be fought, even if Zheng Bo is not in Zheng State, the people of Zheng State and the existing troops should also fight to the death against the arrival of General Zheng. But this battle ...... couldn't fight at all, Zheng Qizhi returned to Zheng Guo from northern Jin, and he definitely got the position of Uncle Zheng without much effort! If the king doesn't believe it, you might as well wait and see! ”

"You can't say two nice words, do you think I feel good about doing this?" Ji Gongyan said too quickly, and became a child who wanted candy to eat, Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan's appearance and suddenly felt a little strange, and then couldn't help but chuckle, his head was against Ji Gongyan's chest, it turned out that his heart was also panicked, just wanted to get her approval, Bao Xi raised his head, revealing a good-looking eyebrow, "The king should know that the concubines are also very panicked these days, Qi Song's move, if he goes a little wrong, it will definitely cause chaos!" ”

"It's okay," Ji Gongyan shook his head, "It's messy, if the world is messed up because of you, the widow will clean up the mess for you." ”

Bao Xi stopped Ji Gongyan's neck with both hands, and stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek, "No, even if the concubine is messy, the king will never be messy, the king has the world in mind, and the concubine has lost to you in several games, because the concubine's vision is not as long-term as the king's, and the people are sophisticated, and they always feel difficult to choose when they put it in their hearts." ”

Ji Gongyan patted Bao Xi's back and finally laughed. For example, in today's game of chess, it is finally time to not make a mistake, if there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be incalculable. Bao Xi and Ji Gongyan are both crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they can only comfort each other, no one can predict what the consequences of each step today will be?

These days, Bao Xi has announced Mrs. Wei several times, and completely handed over the matter of presiding over the sacrificial ceremony to Mrs. Wei. But I don't want this matter to leave a handle for the ministers in the court, and the matter of Bao Xi's life will not be long in a word, this word is transmitted back to the palace from outside the palace, first whispered among the people, and then to the female queen, the first floor of the woman, and then to the lady, the concubine, now the entire harem except the East Palace does not know, the rest of the people already know that Bao Xi is seriously ill and will die soon.

Mrs. Wei didn't think much about it at first, and after listening to these remarks, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was very likely, and then looked at the entire harem, if Bao Xi died, there must be a person in charge of the harem.

In fact, Bao Xi just thinks that the big wedding of Dutu is important, and she has to worry about this matter first, not to mention that there is a big battle before Dutu's wedding, whether it is life or death, it is unpredictable, this move goes on, and it is also unpredictable whether this chess game is alive or dead, she is worried about too many things, and she can't take care of the tribute and sacrifice ceremony of this year's princes' court.

If Mrs. Wei wins the position of queen, she and Mrs. Chu will be mortal enemies, and Mrs. Wei has been thinking about it for a long time and sent back a letter to Wei State, demanding that Wei Bo must stand on the side of Qi State in this battle of Qi and Song! Wei Bo followed the two letters, looked at his doctor with a very distressed face and asked, "This Chu State asked me to sneak attack, and the little girl asked me to help, what should I do?" While sneaking up, helping at the same time, helping on the surface, and sneaking on secretly? His expression twisted together, and his expression was indescribably painful.

The doctor also looked very embarrassed when he stood aside, if Chu State won and Wei State did not sneak attack, then Chu State must settle accounts with Wei State next; But if the state of Chu is defeated, and the state of Wei is attacked again, then the king will definitely settle accounts with the state of Wei. This matter is a gamble, and no matter how you gamble, the risk is too great.
