Chapter 184: People's hearts are different

Bao Xi knows a little about this matter, from Ji Gongyan's mouth or Uncle Zhao's mouth, there is some probing, and the grievances between Qi and the Zhou Dynasty are no longer overnight, so it doesn't sound too surprised at the moment, she also knows that this matter is related to Empress Jiang and the king, so Xiuxiu said, and Bao Xi didn't interject.

"Old Madam Zheng is different from the housewife of Qi State, after all, Concubine Rong's death is not on Empress Jiang, and it has little to do with her, plus Mrs. Zheng has a good relationship with the former king, and she is also like a sister with Empress Jiang, so she has always been very supportive in dealing with the king. When the first king tried to abolish the crown prince and set up another person, Mrs. Zheng also specially pleaded for the king. Xiuxiu's words made Bao Xi realize that the Twenty-Seven Congress could go to the rescue of Mrs. Zheng, so as to gain a firm foothold in the Zheng Mansion.

"What about the relationship between Old Madam Zheng and Big Madame?" Bao Xi asked.

"It's not bad, Niangniang also knows that there is nothing wrong with the eldest lady, the eldest lady is kind to others, and always amiable, treats her subordinates well, never pursues those who make mistakes, and always helps them intercede in turn. Such a person is placed in the palace, even if Niangniang is not close to her, she will definitely not be evil, right? Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and asked, waiting for her answer.

Bao Xi nodded, this is a good point, "In other words, in fact, Old Madam Zheng and the eldest lady are not close?" ”

"Before the death of the first king, the old Uncle Zheng's health was getting worse and worse, so the old lady Zheng closed her door every day, and most of the time she was taking care of Uncle Zheng, or praying for the Zheng family, in short, ......," Xiuxiu said, "I don't take care of the affairs of the Zheng family." But after all, it is the old lady and the sister of the former king, and the sergeants and doctors will save some face for the old lady, and Uncle Zheng and General Zheng are even more obedient to the old lady's words! In the Zheng family, the status of the old lady is still unmatched. ”

Bao Xi nodded, picked up the pen and dropped ink on the cloth, and continued to explain the matter to Twenty-seven. Breaking the alliance between Zheng and Jin can completely disintegrate the Jin ambition to devour Zheng on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may also lead to an alliance between Jin and Qin, Qin and Jin are not far apart, they are both great powers, and the alliance between the two is likely to give birth to a terrible power group.

Bao Xi guessed that Zheng Boyou has not done anything until now, probably because he is afraid that this power group will be born because of this, and he will not do anything at this moment. Bao Xi thought that there was no need to worry too much about this matter, Qin and Jin were both big countries, and once an alliance was reached, they would definitely face differences in the separation of interests in the future, and then the relationship between the two would be much better than letting Zheng Guo be accepted under the command of Jin now.

Zheng Guo lived in Kyushu, bordered by Qi in the east and Hojing in the west, and if Qin sent troops to fight against Dongyi, it would definitely pass through Zheng during the period, so Zheng Guo must not fall into the hands of others, which is something that must be achieved no matter how much it costs.

As for those scholars who were officials in the court and refused to obey, it was even easier to deal with. Since he is the staff and officials of the princes, since the princes want to abandon it, how can Rao is doctor's skills reach the sky, and he can only be shelved. What's more, Zheng Boyou won the hearts of the people in Zheng State, no matter whether he, a prince, could eat well among scholars and doctors, at least he was supported by all the people, and those who were abandoned by him were afraid that the end would not be too good.

Such a scholar chooses one or two people, and killing one and set an example is enough to deter, and these Zheng people don't have to watch their country being robbed step by step by the Jin State to be happy, and they all know in their hearts what kind of person Zheng Boyou is!

Bao Xi wrote these things on the cloth one by one, and when the ink dried, she folded the cloth in her hand and frowned. Xiuxiu carefully looked at Bao Xi's expression, and asked with some puzzlement, "Now that everything has a plan to deal with it, what happened to Niangniang?" ”

"Is there any other way to communicate with the outside world besides Zhao Shangqing?" Bao Xi looked at Xiuxiu and asked.

"Niangniang doesn't want to hand over the letterhead to Zhao Shangqing?" Xiuxiu was a little surprised, no matter what, Uncle Zhao and Bao Xi are uncles and nephews, and they have always shared the same hatred, but now they are suddenly estranged, which is a little unexpected.

Bao Xi nodded, now that she and Uncle Zhao had a disagreement on the plan, she didn't want to discuss this matter with Uncle Zhao at all, knowing the next move of the Qin State, she also planned to solve the matter by herself without mentioning it to Uncle Zhao, she was afraid that as soon as she said it, Uncle Zhao would always scoff at her methods, and then force her to act according to her own model. is also afraid that the letter he wrote to Twenty-seven will be intercepted by Uncle Zhao, and the content is not in line with Uncle Zhao's intentions, so he will tamper with or simply burn the letterhead.

"Zheng Guo has a post station stationed in the pickaxe capital, in the past, Mrs. Zheng communicated with the old Zheng Bo with the help of Zheng Guo's post station, if the mother is at ease, Xiuxiu will run for you?" Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi and said, after all, the capital city of Ho is the center of the Zhou Dynasty, where the network is developed and the transportation lines are dense, and there is always no shortage of people who want to find a means of communication.

"Don't let Zhao Shangqing know about this!" Bao Xi handed over the cloth in her hand to Xiuxiu, and told her thousands of instructions, I was afraid that once Uncle Zhao knew about it and found out that Bao Xi did not do things according to her own ideas, she would press her on Bao Hongde's bed and ask for all the information they wanted.

"I'll be careful!" Xiuxiu nodded, sealed the cloth in the bamboo tube, put it in her pocket, and muttered the sentence "Don't bump into Zhao Shangqing" from the Qiongtai Palace, bowed her head and walked in the direction of the Zheng Guo Post Station outside the palace, seeing that she was about to go out of the gate, but was suddenly blocked by someone, Xiuxiu was quite impatient, raised her head and was about to scold the person who stood in front of her, but the words reached her throat but were swallowed alive, "Zhao ...... Zhao Shangqing? ”

"Going out of the palace?" Uncle Zhao looked at Xiuxiu and asked.

Xiuxiu's expression flickered, and she blinked, "Niangniang...... My mother sent me out to do some errands. ”

"Why do you have to leave the palace?" Uncle Zhao asked.

Xiuxiu looked left and right to answer the reason why she came, and she didn't think about preparing any reason to prevaricate Uncle Zhao, looking at her panicked expression, Uncle Zhao sneered, "Niangniang probably asked you to send something to Zheng Guo's post station, right?" ”

"Nope!" Xiuxiu immediately raised her head and shook her head vigorously.

"No?" Uncle Zhao's words were slow and reasonable, and the bamboo tube that Bao Xi put in him was not very interested at first, but because the gap with Bao Xi was getting bigger and bigger, he suddenly came to take the interest in dismantling the bamboo tube, and took out the cloth inside, and there were only two words written in it, "Ending", which called Uncle Zhao with a cloud mountain fog cover, and did not believe that Bao Xi could read these two words twenty-seven, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that this was said to Zheng Boyou.

Now Zheng Boyou has also heard a little about the difficulties encountered by Zheng Guo, but he is reluctant to help, because he takes into account the relationship between Ji Gongyan and Zheng Qizhi, if Zheng Boyou is promoted to a high position at this moment, I am afraid that when Zheng Qizhi comes back from the dead and returns to his hometown, it will not be easy to establish his own henchmen.

Uncle Zhao couldn't take it, but he didn't expect Bao Xi to be anxious first, if it is indeed unconvincing to say that these two people really have no personal relationship, compared to Bao Hongde's indecent feelings, the sympathy between Bao Xi and Zheng Boyou made him even more worried, he wanted to help Bao Xi sit in the position of the queen, and praised Bofu as the prince of the East Palace, Bao Xi must not take a wrong step. He sent someone to stare at every move of Qiongtai Palace, and when he saw Xiuxiu sneaking out of Qiongtai Palace, the guards who were watching him immediately came back, and Uncle Zhao stopped all the work in his hand to intercept Xiuxiu. He looked at the panicked Xiuxiu and stretched out his big hand, "It's better to bring it to me, otherwise you won't even be able to step out of this door today!" ”

Xiuxiu shook her head and looked at Uncle Zhao, and stepped back step by step.

"Do you want me to search it, or do you want to give it out yourself?" Uncle Zhao scolded sharply, Xiuxiu still shook her head vigorously, "Xiuxiu really doesn't know what the adults are talking about, Niangniang asked me to bring a message to Dr. Bao......"

"Doctor Bao is on an errand in the palace at this time!" Uncle Zhao stared at Xiuxiu and said.

"No," Xiuxiu's eyes fluttered, "It's asking me to bring a message to the people in Dr. Bao's family, so that I can bring it back to Baocheng!" ”

"Hmph......" Uncle Zhao sneered, waved his hand, and said to the guards on both sides, "Take it away!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The guards on both sides put Xiuxiu up, Xiuxiu kicked in the air, and kept shouting, "Lord Zhao, I beg you to let me down, if you can't fulfill Niangniang's instructions, I'm afraid that Niangniang will blame!" ”

Uncle Zhao turned to look at Xiuxiu, took out a cloth from his pocket, and tightly blocked Xiuxiu's mouth, and at this moment, Bao Xi was on the way to the East Palace, and seemed to be completely unaware of everything that happened here. After many days of not seeing Empress Shen, she guessed that Empress Shen's tolerance should have reached the limit, and now that Qin is strong, she must join forces with Empress Shen to create public opinion for the king.

When Shen Hou's acquaintance came to report and said that when Bao Xi came to pay respects, Shen Hou was taken aback, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, so she asked again, "Niangniang?" Bao Niangniang is here, see or not see? ”

"Huh?" Empress Shen turned her head to look at her siren, and then she reacted a little or two, "Hurry up!" ”

"Yes!" After hearing that the people retired and walked out of the hall, Xuan Bao Xi went to the palace, and Bao Xi walked into the main hall of the East Palace, and bowed to Shen Hou, "See Shen Hou Niangniang!" ”

"There won't be so much courtesy between you and me," Empress Shen said as she looked at Bao Xi with a flat expression.

Bao Xi spied on it, and saw that Shen Hou was dissatisfied with her for many days of being closed, but because of Shen Hou's identity, she had to restrain such a daughter posture, "After Nian'er's 100-year-old banquet, Bao Xi occasionally felt cold, her whole body was sleepy and weak, she was bedridden every day, neglected her mother, and asked her to forgive her sins." ”

"Since you are infected with the wind cold, you should take a good rest and rest." Empress Shen said, "It's just that your wind and cold are too serious, and now it's been almost a month, and you don't participate in the Spring Festival ceremony, other ladies and concubines complained, and my bowl of water is really uneven." ”

"Thank you for your protection!" Bao Xi said softly, and her tone was gentle.

Empress Shen waved her hand, "That's it," she turned to look at Bao Xi, "now that everything is fine, and it looks good." ”

"I'm afraid this wind chill won't get better for a while!" Bao Xi took a step forward and said meaningfully to Shen Hou, Shen Hou was stunned for a moment and sat up straight, looked at Bao Xi's expression, and then turned to look at the surrounding people, "Come with me to the back hall to talk, the cold wind swishing in this hall is pouring in, but it is strangely cold." ”

"Yes, sis!" Bao Xi replied.
