The next day, in the early dynasty in the palace, the ministers gathered in the front hall and sent back the news from Taocheng that the army of Dutu had arrived in the territory of the Song Kingdom and was meeting with Qi Bo in the direction of Taocheng. In the name of resisting Qiang Chu, Qi Bo gathered the forces of several surrounding princes near Taocheng, which was already a big war that was about to break out, and once the war started, the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years was about to be destroyed.

There was a tense and uneasy atmosphere in the court, several courtiers looked at each other, at this time I didn't know whether to stand on the side of the main battle faction or the main peace faction, everyone focused their eyes on the face of Yu Shifu, knowing that it might not be wrong to follow him in line, but unfortunately in the early dynasty of this day, Yu Shifu didn't say a word, no one knew his thoughts, no one knew the king's thoughts.

Ji Gongyan's face was dark, and he sat at one end of the front hall, most of the time he remained silent, looking at Uncle Zhao, who was reporting on the big and small affairs that had happened in the past few days, and listened quietly. Whether it can be fought or not, it is a topic of discussion, this matter is too difficult to estimate, Uncle Zhao took the report of the forms near Taocheng at this moment, took a step back, and stood among the ministers, and the court returned to a deathly silence.

No one spoke, no one played.

I don't know how long it has been, Zheng Boyou stepped forward, saluted Ji Gongyan, and then said, "Weichen has something to do!" ”

"Say!" Ji Gong said.

"If the situation is not stable today, the soldiers and horses in the DPRK are left in the land of Beidi, if you want to increase the battle of Qi and Song in the capital of the pickaxe, the army will inevitably appear weak, and now the land of Beidi has been collected into the land of my Great Zhou, and I hope that the king will transfer General Wen and the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou back to the capital of the pickaxe, in case of temporary needs." Zheng Boyou said, and when he said this, everyone present turned their eyes to Zheng Boyou, and their eyes were full of incomprehension when they looked at him.

"The widow also has this intention, if there is turmoil today, the widow must have several times the strength of the princes to clear the dispute! General Wen sent a document to the widow to report the current situation in the land of Beidi, and captured a large number of young soldiers, which have been incorporated and can be used by me. What Uncle Zheng said is that the only thing the widow is worried about is who to send to Beidi? As soon as he said this, the generals and generals of the court seemed to understand Ji Gongyan's thoughts, and knew that his purpose was to fight, not to make peace, and they all felt that they had a spectrum in their hearts.

"I used to be Situ in Xia, and I know a lot about the management of the city's books and the resettlement of the people, and I hope that my lord will send him to Beidi!" Zheng Boyou said, his voice was loud, this made everyone present stunned again, and he was even more confused about Zheng Boyou's behavior, as a prince of a country, no matter how bad he was, he should stay in the court, but he took the initiative to ask Ying to run to the distant land of Beidi, throwing Zheng Guo alone, which is equivalent to opening the city gate of Zheng Qizhi, if Zheng Qizhi wants to seize the prince, I am afraid that Zheng Boyou will be powerless at that time.

"Hmm......" Ji Gongyan frowned and nodded, and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Uncle Zheng reminded the widow that this matter needs a Situ to do, but it's a pity...... Zheng Bo has only been in the court for a long time, after all, he can't understand the system of my Great Zhou. This matter may as well be handed over to the priest to do, the priest is ready, let's leave tomorrow, the widow is practicing outside the north gate for you, this is a long way to go, and the city of Fanbang is collected, your work is more important than General Wen and Da Sima! ”

The priest was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, looked at Ji Gongyan for a long time and didn't reply, and thought that he was still dreaming, Beidi needed people, Zheng Boyou was willing to go, but Ji Gongyan hit him, he looked like he was in a trance, as if he hadn't made a fuss about what was going on, Father Yu Shi glanced at the priest, gave him a kick, told him to kick out of the crowd, staggered and stood in front, clasped his hands into fists and looked at Ji Gongyu in horror, and only replied after a while, "Yes!" King. ”

"But I don't know who should fill the vacancy of the position of Situ in the DPRK?" Seeing this, Father Yu stepped forward and interjected.

"Isn't there someone who has been a Situ and took the initiative to ask for help?" Ji Gongyan leaned on this chair with one hand and said slowly, Father Yu Shi turned his gaze to Zheng Boyou, and Zheng Boyou also looked very surprised, "Weichen didn't mean that." ”

"Does that mean that, let's arrange it like this first, right? If there is a change in the future, make a decision, for today's plan, General Wen must quickly retreat, therefore, the sacrifice of the prince needs to be quickly whipped, to the territory of the Jin Kingdom, pass the order of the widow, please Jin Bo allocate fifty times of soldiers and horses to help. Ji Gongyan waved his hand and looked at the priest and said, this is a long way, and once you are transferred, you don't know the time of return, in fact, it is an errand that no one wants to go.

Zheng Boyou was unusually surprised by Ji Gongyan's decision, no matter how he thought about it, this matter was always unreasonable in his heart, what did Ji Gongyan want to do at this time? According to the news from Zheng Guo, Zheng Qizhi's army has approached outside the capital of Zheng Guoguo, rectifying outside the city, and preparing to attack the city by force at any time.

Since he knows this news, Zheng Boyou believes that Ji Gongyan already knows about it, Zheng Qizhi is just around the corner to be the prince of Zheng State, and leaving himself in the court will only increase his troubles, why does Ji Gongyan do this? He looked at the king in front of him full of puzzlement, no one knew what kind of wishful thinking he was playing, and no one in the court dared to mention Zheng Qizhi to Ji Gongyan, they all pretended that they didn't know anything, and they looked at their noses and noses.

Today's court discussion, the content is not small, from the dispute between the Qi and Song dynasties, to the governance of Beidi, to the appointment of Situ in the court, and then to the sacrificial ceremony of the princes to pay tribute...... The pilgrimage of the East Palace is to begin to prepare for the sacrifice and welcome the wives of the princes, and the affairs are not small, not to mention the current dispute between Qi and Song, everyone is not sure about the matter of this New Year's tribute, Mrs. Wei asked Bao Xi for instructions, and she only replied after thinking about it for a moment, "Everything is as usual." ”

"But Qi Song ......," Lady Wei was about to ask.

Bao Xi just shook her head slightly, "As usual!" ”

"Yes, sissy." Mrs. Wei had to bow her head and respond, this sentence "as usual" made all the people present look at each other, I don't know how this situation will continue this year, I am afraid that Qi Song and all the princes who participated in the war will focus their eyes on the vicinity of Taocheng, once the fight starts, whether this year's sacrificial ceremony is ready or not will have to be said, Bao Xi's calmness at the moment can only make everyone think that this is a strong calm. Mrs. Chu Xiong Ning sneered and leaned on her body obliquely; Concubine Song's expression was very flustered, sitting in her place, very uneasy.

After the pilgrimage of the East Palace dispersed, these women came out of the main hall of the East Palace, and some people gathered around Mrs. Wei to inquire about the recent affairs, Mrs. Wei shook her head, and lectured to these chattering women with a straight face, "Since Niang Niang said that, naturally there is a reason to say that......" She said, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Concubine Song, "A mere Song country, you have to be embarrassed by Qi State, Qin State, and Great Zhou, I'm afraid it's not enough!" ”

"That's right," the other woman chimed in, shrill and mean.

Concubine Song swallowed her saliva, lowered her head and hurried towards her palace, the taste in her heart was very uncomfortable, what happened during the period of Xuan Wangjing, although she had not experienced it herself, she had also heard about it. Back then, King Xuan Jing was ambitious in the world and sent Qi to attack Dongyi, and Qi Bo personally went into battle, but it was a pity that he ...... Defeated, Qi Boqi died in the battlefield, and Lady Qi was executed for this. Thinking of this, Concubine Song inevitably felt stunned in her heart, and trembled all over her body.

A person with his own cronies ran over and paid a hasty greeting to Concubine Song, panting, "The front hall ...... The front hall ......"

"Let's talk about it when we get rid of it!" Concubine Song scolded.

"It's a big deal!" This scholar waved his hand to Concubine Song, "I went to the front hall just now to eavesdrop on today's topic, it's a big deal!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Concubine Song asked anxiously.

"The king wants to withdraw General Wen's army from Beidi, it seems that he wants to increase the battlefield of Taocheng, but I am afraid that it is difficult for the Song State to resist the coalition army of the Qi State with the strength of one country! Listening to the meaning of those courtiers in the front hall, it seems that the State of Chu handed a letter to the State of Wei, hoping that when he was helping the State of Song and the State of Qi to fight, the State of Wei would be able to sneak attack from behind. Who knew that this matter was told to Qi Bo by Wei Bo, which caused Qi Bo to be furious, and he was entangled in a vote of the Central Plains princes to gather in Taocheng. The king called General Wen back, as if it was also for this matter, and the battle of Qi and Song is likely to become a battle of the Central Plains at the moment. Xiren said to Concubine Song with a pale face, "Do you want to stop Uncle Song?" ”

"How to stop it?" Concubine Song asked, her eyes flashing with tears, she had forced herself to a dead end, if she hadn't joined forces with Mrs. Chu back then, there would have been no turmoil today, "The State of Chu handed a letter to the State of Wei, clearly to trap my Song State in a place of injustice!" What did you say to help me resist the conquest of the State of Qi, but I have been standing still in the territory of the State of Chu, what is the State of Chu waiting for? She stomped her foot and said anxiously.

"I'm afraid I'm waiting for the mother to ......" Xiren handed Concubine Song a look, and her expression looked very embarrassed.

Concubine Song felt as if she had been struck by a lightning bolt in her mind, looked at the people in front of her, and suddenly realized that what the State of Chu was waiting for was a signal from the palace, which was to praise the death of the Song State in exchange for reinforcements from the Song State. Regardless of whether the Central Plains is chaotic or not, Concubine Song, as a native of the Song Kingdom, can't let her family fall into misfortune, "I'm going to see Mrs. Chu!" ”

"Niangniang has thought about it, murder is a big crime...... "Xiren said.

Although Concubine Song agreed to Mrs. Chu before, she didn't dare to make a move, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Chu still left a back-up trick here to restrain herself, and if she didn't do it now, it would be too late. Concubine Song looked at her and thought for a moment, "Now there is only one way to go, that is, to kill first, once Song and Chu form an alliance and the war begins, no one can still take care of me, that is, I can also quibble and get away with it, it's better than watching the princes of the Central Plains point the finger at my father, but I can't do anything, okay?" ”

"Think twice! It may be too late to admit your mistake after this matter is praised. Xiren blocked in front of Concubine Song, stretched out her hands and wanted to block Concubine Song's way, but Concubine Song only stretched out her hand to dial this Xiren, bypassing her and walking in the direction of Youyang Palace.
