Xiong Yi's hand clenched tightly into a fist, took a deep breath, and looked at Xiong Ning who could still make a slight smile, at this moment he couldn't transfer his hatred for Ji Gongyan to Xiong Ning's body, after all, he couldn't tear his face with Xiong Ning, he still had a lot to use for her, after all, she was in the palace, and he was far away.
"The king is really powerful, and he assigned several cities around Wancheng to me as a reward for sending troops to help Qin resist the dog Rong this time." Chu Hou inevitably sneered twice, which was self-deprecating.
"Wancheng?" Xiong Ning asked in surprise.
"Yes, how? Isn't it ruthless enough? Chu Hou asked, "I originally wanted the three cities near the Bao land of the Qin State that day, and I thought that since the Bao family had died, it would be useless for the Qin State to keep these three cities, but I didn't want to be replaced by the king for Wancheng, so in order to take care of the face of the Qin State and protect the territory of the Bao family, he did not hesitate to break his arm to ask for help......
"Wancheng is the territory of the Great Zhou, how can the king divide his city into the territory of the Chu State in order to keep the fief of the Qin State?" Xiong Ning's whole body was trembling slightly because of anger, she was angry that Ji Gongyan would rather sacrifice her own interests than say a few soft words to herself, even if she begged him to let her help him, he had to refuse bluntly.
It's no wonder that the greetings in the palace today, Bao Xi will be such a gesture of indifference, did they discuss it early in the morning? How could she allow Ji Gongyan to make such a decision, isn't she the woman who cherishes him the most in the world? Xiong Ning sneered twice, it turned out that when everything involved his own interests, it was nothing more than praise.
Xiong Yi paced back and forth in the lobby for two steps, and then looked at Xiong Ning's expression carefully, and could see that she was slightly angry, so she added fuel to the fire and said, "For the sake of praise, what is this sacrifice?" Did he do less for her? It's just that I don't want Baocheng to fall into my hands! ”
Xiong Ning raised his eyes to look at Chu Hou, his hands clenched tightly, "What is my brother going to do now?" ”
"There's nothing to do, since you gave me Wancheng, I want it! Today is for the Qin State, tomorrow I will look at the Jin State and the Qi State...... How much land does he still have to divide, if one day the territory of this Great Zhou is completely divided, I want to see how he can still live in the center and be the son of heaven? Chu Hou laughed and patted Xiong Ning on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry about me, the worst thing in this matter must not be me!" ”
"Who's that?" Xiong Ning's thoughts were pulled back by Chu Hou's words, and he looked into his eyes and asked.
"I won the battle because I couldn't get the city I wanted, and some people won the battle, but I am afraid that they may not even be able to save their lives!" Xiong Yi said meaningfully, which made Xiong Ning think carefully for a while, and then nodded slightly as if he didn't understand, and asked, "Brother is ...... General Zheng? ”
"Not bad!" Chu Hou nodded.
"General Zheng!" Xiong Ning repeated the name himself, "Impossible, General Zheng and the king have grown up together since childhood, and they are very affectionate, it is impossible for him to attack Qi!" ”
"Originally, it wouldn't, but there are always some exceptions! Now, in order to safeguard the interests of the Empress Bao, Zheng Guo, who is adjacent to the Great Zhou, must be controlled by a person who is trusted by the Empress Bao. He is the best candidate for Zheng Bo, if he is replaced by Zheng Qizhi, he is only afraid of ...... The first thing he wanted to kill was the Praise Queen! Chu Hou said, "Therefore, if this General Zheng returns to the court after victory, his life will not be long!" He shook his head and chuckled, if Zheng Qiyi died...... The Central Plains has one less fierce general, which is a good thing for him.
Xiong Ning felt that the strength of her whole body had been drained away, and she couldn't imagine that Ji Gongyan would be able to do things so desperately in order to praise her, she took a step back, her face was pale, and she looked at Chu Hou who wanted to speak and finally didn't say anything, Chu Hou stared at Xiong Ning's face and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Chu?" But where is the discomfort, I will send someone to send you back? ”
Xiong Ning pinched her temples and shook her head, her heart was very painful, and the killer of Zheng Qizhi made her suddenly think of herself that day, she had paid so much for him, but in the end she became a discarded pawn in his hands, and she was even more anxious to put her to death...... Now that the person who has been abandoned has been replaced by Zheng Qizhi, Xiong Ning can't imagine whether this cold-blooded emperor has any place to take care of his feelings in his heart?
Xiong Ning's voice was very soft, as if it came from an ethereal distance, "Will General Zheng die?" ”
"If you still invite merit, I'm afraid you will die......" Chu Hou nodded.
"Can it be saved?" Xiong Ning asked.
"Can't be saved!" Chu Hou shook his head, he wished that Zheng Qizhi would die, his death would not only reduce the resistance for himself to enter the Central Plains, but also be used to shake people's hearts, that is, there was a way to save Zheng Qizhi's life, and he would never say anything about it. Xiong Ning felt that the grief in his heart was abnormal, and he couldn't continue to face Chu Hou here, so he had to speak, "I feel a little uncomfortable, and I asked my brother to send someone to send me back to the palace." ”
Chu Hou nodded, waved his hand, and immediately came up with two people, and he ordered, "Send Madame back to the palace." ”
"Yes!" The two people nodded in response, watching Mrs. Chu step by step out of the lobby of this room with difficulty, leaving Chu Hou to look at Xiong Ning's back and let out a sinister sneer, this woman has long been carried away by love, as long as she talks about Ji Gongyan, she doesn't even think about it, she believes whatever she says...... In order to be able to get Ji Gongyan, and even at the expense of the interests of the Great Zhou Jiangshan, Chu Hou touched the sleeve of his other hand, thinking about how to use Mrs. Chu in his heart.
After the ministers and officials in the hall retreated, only Bofu and Ying Kai were left, Ji Gongyan noticed that these two people also came to the court today, and speculated in his heart that it was naturally a compliment. And Ying Kai is ten years old, and he is afraid that he will be able to return to the Qin State in two years, Ji Gongyan came down from his high position and walked towards the two, "Why are you here?" ”
"The queen mother said, the two of us are not too young, and we can participate in my father's political affairs! Prepare early in case you are caught off guard in the future! Nian'er bowed to her father.
"See the King!" Win away and bend down to make a gesture.
"So, what do you two have to gain from this?" Ji Gongyu asked.
"Erchen doesn't understand," Nian'er shook her head at Ji Gongyan, "This Marquis of Chu is invited to reward for his merits, why didn't his father directly refuse, but he wanted to share his city with him?" ”
"If merit is not rewarded, but there is no punishment, and the decree is not good, how can the widow stand in the middle of the princes?" Ji Gongyan touched Nian'er's head, stretched out his hand to look at him, Nian'er stuffed his immature little hand into Ji Gongyan's wide and dry hand, and as he was about to walk towards the palace gate, Ying Kai ran two steps in front of the two, and knelt on the ground with a "bang", "King Ende, there is nothing to repay in the future!" I am willing to return the three cities of my Qin Kingdom to the king. ”
Ji Gongyan looked at Ying Kai, who was kneeling at his feet, "Get up!" The widow didn't hand over the fief of your Qin State to the Marquis of Chu, and there were other considerations, not just because he took care of the Qin State! ”
Ying Kai raised his head and looked at King Zhou in confusion, Ji Gongyan let go of Nian'er's hand, Nian'er ran to Ying Kai's side and grabbed his arm, trying to help him up, Ying Kai had no choice but to get up and stand up on Ji Gongyan's side, and walked in the direction of the East Palace of the Zhou Dynasty, "What does the king mean by this?" ”
"Do you know which piece of land in your Qin State this Chu Marquis asked the widow for?" Ji Gongyu asked.
"Near Baocheng." Ying Kai replied.
"This Qin Hou is so bold!" When Nian'er heard Ying Kai say this, she almost jumped to her feet, Ji Gongyan touched Nian'er's head, pressed him down, and explained to Ying Kai, "This place in Baocheng is a place where soldiers must fight, do you know about this?" ”
"A battleground for soldiers?" Ying Kai shook his head, "It's just a remote place in the Qin Kingdom, why should soldiers fight?" Don't say it's a soldier, even everyone in my Qin country is reluctant to go to Baodi because of the Qinling Mountain Range, why ...... Soldiers want to fight for this place? ”
"Baocheng is the only place to enter Shu, since ancient times, there is no lack of plank road pass, Chu Hou's ambition is not small, if Baocheng is given to him, in the future he will be able to rely on the natural danger of Baocheng to attack the Qin State, retreat and defend, and can drive straight into the land of Bashu, in order to seize the world! Therefore, Baocheng is absolutely unacceptable! As for the widow's Wancheng, which is adjacent to the Chu State, it was often invaded by the Chu army, and now that it is assigned to him, he has no reason to lead the army north, but it restrains his ambitions, and the widow wants to ...... At this moment, this Chu Hou must be in a hurry to jump in the mansion, right? Ji Gongyan explained the stakes of this matter, and when she said this, Nian'er couldn't help but laugh, "That must be very funny!" ”
Ji Gongyan also laughed, feeling happy in his heart, although everything was not going well this year, but in the end, he was able to spend it safely, and it can be regarded as God's favor. Hearing the laughter of several people, Bao Xi came out of the East Palace, leaned outside the palace gate and watched her husband with her two children talking, laughing and slowly approaching from a distance, Nian'er saw Bao Xi come out and shouted, "Mother! He broke away from Ji Gongyan's hand, ran towards Bao Xi, and then hugged Bao Xi's legs, and rubbed his face on her legs, "Mother? ”
