The entire capital of Ho is now shrouded in the haze of war, and the atmosphere is extremely heavy. Bao Xi speculated that Ji Gongyan's purpose should not really attack the Chu State, but to eradicate a group of people who were the father of Yu Shi, as for what kind of means this King of Zhou would use, Bao Xi had not yet thought it through, until the military order from the front hall made people feel that it was simply a repeat of the old thing, what Ji Gongyan wanted to eradicate was definitely not Yongzhi, and he didn't know who the purpose was to use Yong's full door to issue this military order?

The news from the front hall was known by the harem, it was simply a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the women of the harem swarmed in the pilgrimage to constantly ask Bao Xi at this time, but Bao Xi couldn't answer why, I heard that Huachen Hall was full of people again. The uncle who retired from the court also felt that this matter was extremely unexpected, and the reason why his father forced Ying Kai to set up this military order may be reasonable, but it is useless for Yongzhi to set up such a military order, he can't figure out his father's next move, and after retiring from the court, he returned to the East Palace, and happened to see his mother sitting in the center of the hall pondering, so he shouted, "Mother? ”

"Huh?" Bao Xi came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at Bao Xi, stood up with the table standing, her body seemed to have no strength, and it seemed that the improvement was not too good, Bofu guessed that maybe Xiuxiu was a favorite these days, and her mother would be a little unhappy in her heart, "My father always asks about the situation of the child and the queen mother in the Xiande Palace, why didn't the queen mother go again after the last time?" ”

"Really?" Bao Xi asked, it didn't hurt or itch.

"Hmm!" Bofu nodded, "Father is very concerned about his mother, but there have been too many things in the front hall recently, and my father has no time to come to the East Palace, if he doesn't come, my mother can always go!" What's more, my father is still talking about wanting to drink my mother's soup, and the chefs always don't do it to their liking. ”

"Got it." Bao Xi said, she didn't seem to be interested in talking to Nian'er, which made Nian'er feel very strange, "Mother is unwell?" The face doesn't look very good. ”

Bao Xi looked at Nian'er, and stopped talking, she felt that it was not suitable to tell Nian'er about her speculation about Ji Gong's purpose, so she shook her head, "It's nothing, there have been too many things that have happened recently, and I am tired of coping with my mother, and I always feel exhausted." What happened in the court today? ”

"Hmm!" Nian'er nodded, "On the first day of the year, there are a lot of people who start to play, it seems that a lot of things have happened in the past few days, but it is just those small things that are the size of sesame mung beans, and I can't make up my mind to call my father the master, and I don't dare to disobey my father's rights, to put it bluntly, I don't want to take responsibility!" He snorted coldly, full of contempt for those vain and wrongful scholars, this is really with Ji Gongyan, and his arrogant temperament is the same, Bao Xi shook his head gently, and Nian'er asked, "What's the matter?" The queen mother doesn't like Nian'er to say that? ”

"No, I just think you're getting more and more like your father!" Bao Xi laughed softly, only when she talked about this, she felt a little lighter in her heart, for some reason, the decision that Ji Gongyan made now made her feel pressured, as if he was a little careless, it was the end of the Great Zhou, "What do you say about attacking the Chu State?" ”

"Today, I ordered the troops, Win Kai led the Qin soldiers, Dutu led the Zheng army, Sima led my Great Zhou's two hundred times, and the three soldiers and horses attacked Shen and Chu at the same time, and my father ordered troops in the court, but it was a little strange......" Bofu pouted and shook his head.

"What's strange?" Bao Xi asked.

"Father actually asked Yongzhi to make a military order, this matter is so strange!" Nian'er said, "I can still understand asking Ying Kai to make a military order, but why do you want to hand over Yongzhi to make a military order?" ”

"What's so strange!" Bao Xi explained, "Since Ying Kai has already been asked to set up a military order, not letting Yong Zhi Li inevitably seem unfair to the king, as if he was targeting the Qin State. ”

"But Qin Guo originally had a reason to be targeted," Nian'er shook her head, not convinced by Bao Xi's explanation, "If Ying Kai and Yongzhi both set up military orders, then would it be good to make military orders for Dutu?" In this way, if this battle is unfortunate and cannot be won, will the Zheng family also have to give it away? Could it be that the purpose of the father was not to win the Chu State, but to take the Qin and Zheng Kingdoms? When he said this, he seemed to have an enlightenment, and looked at his mother in the hope that his conjecture could be confirmed from her mouth.

"Who are Dazai Shangqing Lu Zhang and Uncle Taishi Boyu?" Bao Xi did not pick up the topic of Nian'er, neither affirmed his speculation nor denied his thoughts, but only asked another question instead.

Nian'er thought for a moment and shook her head, "Doesn't the queen mother know?" ”

"I don't know," Bao Xi reached.

"Uncle Xi and Lu Zhang seem to have been officials in the same dynasty in the Jin Kingdom in the past, and the specific father did not elaborate with me, but only said that these two made great contributions in the battle of Northern Jin that year. At that time, I was still young and couldn't remember too many things, so I asked my mother if I knew it, and I didn't know about it? So how can you say that you have made a great achievement? Nian'er asked her mother a little puzzled.

"Your father doesn't tell me everything!" Bao Xi said this, but in his heart he was also puzzled, there were people in the court of the Jin Kingdom who played a decisive role in the battle of Northern Jin, which made Bao Xi sound at the moment, it was simply full of doubts, "Is it just so?" ”

"Hmm!" Nian'er nodded, "That's all my father told me, and I also sent someone to inquire about something else, it turns out that this Uncle Xi is the son of Du Bo, has my mother heard about Du Bo?" ”

Bao Xi nodded, no stranger to this matter, that day she just entered the palace and was involved in the red face of the country, but the rumors of the last years of King Xuan had a deep understanding of the turmoil, King Xuan because of the red mouth child sang the nursery rhyme of "the sun will not be there, the moon will rise" and fell into madness, Du Bo wrote to ask King Xuan not to listen to the rumors, should focus his energy on government affairs, King Xuan was furious after hearing and beheaded Du Bo, after Du Bo's death, his son fled to the Jin Kingdom, and then the matter is unknown. King Xuan's death and the wrongful killing of King Xuan also have a lot to do with it, after Ji Gongyan ascended the throne, he redressed Du Bo's grievances, which means that Ji Gongyan and Uncle Xi have been in contact for a long time, and even Uncle Xi was able to escape from Hojing, and the position of Taishi Bo in the Jin State may also be the arrangement of Ji Gongyan, raising troops for a thousand days, and now it is time to use it.

Nian'er continued to say to Bao Xi, "Du Bo seems to have some friendship with Yongzhi's father, and Uncle Xi is also friendly with Yongzhi and often corresponds, so Uncle Xi can also eat well in the faction of Father Yushi, and the child is worried that Uncle Xi will be the second father of Yu Shi who leans towards the government and the opposition in the future!" I don't know how my father arranged it, and the second minister is really difficult to understand. ”

"If you don't understand, just wait and see, since your father is arranging it like this, there must be a reason!" Bao Xi said, she seemed to have an understanding of Ji Gongyan's layout in her heart, but she didn't dare to do anything rashly, let alone tell Bofu about it, Ji Gongyan didn't say it to Bofu, and Bao Xi didn't know whether he should tell Bofu or not, so that he could have a better understanding of the current situation, Nian'er heard that her queen mother said so, she didn't ask anymore, but nodded, "Erchen understands!" ”

After Nian'er left, Bao Xi remembered what Nian'er said just now, and went out to prepare to go in the direction of the dining room. Bao Xi thought about it, and remembered that Ji Gongyu had told her that Xiuxiu had kept her own eyeliner in her palace, Xiuxiu was a Xiren in the East Palace after all, and she might be more familiar with the people here than herself, she thought about it and looked at Xiren and said, "Go out and relax, breathe!" ”

"The slave and maid accompany the queen, right?" He asked.

"No need, this palace wants to be quiet and sort out what has happened these days." Bao Xi said lightly, the kind of aura of not being angry and self-righteous exuded on her body made people dare not ask more, this person had to retreat, let Bao Xi leave the East Palace alone, Bao Xi went to the dining room, and asked the chef which was the king's dinner, and the chef saw that Bao Xi was coming, full of panic, "See Bao Hou." ”

"Don't be polite, don't tell anyone about this palace today." After that, he asked the chef to make room, stood up and took over the dinner that the chef was making, prepared dinner for Ji Gongyan, made soup, and then washed his hands and watched the chef repeatedly tell him not to tell anyone that he had been here today. The chef thought it was very strange, looked at Bao Xi and asked, "Don't you even say it to the king?" ”

"Needless to say." Bao Xi said.

"After complimenting, the king should always know." The chef said.

"No need," Bao Xi said, "you don't have to make trouble for yourself, the king won't ask you, you don't have to inform anyone about coming to the dining room near the Japanese Palace, and you can save yourself some trouble, right?" ”

Bao Xi's words made this chef a little embarrassed, and now the East Palace's fall out of favor is a well-known thing, as if the harem favorite concubine of this day is Mrs. Zheng who has just risen up, Ji Gongyan almost every night called Mrs. Zheng to go to the Xiande Hall to sleep, this Sheng Ji Rong Favor is almost about to catch up with the day's Bao Xi, Bao Xi can be so considerate of the sufferings of these current people, this makes the chef feel embarrassed, and for a while I don't know what to say in response to Bao Xi's words, it seems inappropriate to say thanks, and I don't have that position after comforting Bao, By the time the chef came to his senses, Bao Xi had already walked away, so he had to turn his back to Bao Xi and say, "I understand." ”

In the evening, the chef brought this dinner to the Xiande Palace, for fear that Ji Gongyu would ask him why this dinner tasted different from the usual days, but fortunately, as soon as he went, the Xiren of the Xiande Hall came to take over, "Just leave it to me, the king is still busy at this time, and I will send someone to call you to pick up the food box later." ”

"Yes!" The chef replied, "It's hard work! He turned around as he spoke, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned to see the man's movements about to turn around, and suddenly stopped him, "Please also ask the king to drink the soup, so that it will not be cold." 166 Reading Network
