The oil lamp on Uncle Zhao's table was still flickering, emitting flickering firelight, and the figures on the wall were constantly beating, big and small, far and near.

Ji Gongyan looked at Uncle Zhao and didn't speak, and Uncle Zhao looked at Ji Gongyan who was also relatively speechless.

Ji Gongyan sat down in front of the table brought by Uncle Zhao, and took out a roll of bamboo slips from the table and read them hastily, not all on this matter, and always missed some from time to time.

Zheng Qizhi led his troops across the border between the two countries and attacked Dongyi, which seemed to be eager to win, but in fact it was not.

This stack of bamboo slips on the table is a detailed record of Dongyi's marching formation, which is said to Ji Gongyan one by one, and even the situation of each general of Dongyi and the combat methods that he is good at are described in detail. Zheng Qizhi kept holding the army in his hands to test Dongyi's bottom line, this kind of trial is a kind of gambling, a kind of gambling that puts all his net worth and life on it.

In more than a month, Qi Bo had already arrived in the country of Qi, but Zheng Qizhi's march was becoming more and more undisciplined - ruthless, vicious, unscrupulous, every time he passed through Dongyi, he would slaughter all the villages, and everywhere he went, he was full of blood, miserable, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Such a bloody scene was terrifying, and many officials of all sizes accompanying the army repeatedly wrote letters and admonishments, but to no avail. They then went to the Shu Ji Gong to impeach Zheng Qizhi, and in the end, these documents flowed into the capital of Ho and were only mud cows into the sea, and they did not know where to go.

At this moment, Qi Bo was able to arrive, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Bo asked Zheng Qizhi to return the military power, but Zheng Qizhi snorted arrogantly, and didn't even throw a straight eye to Qi Bo, "The king ordered me to lead the troops here, and if you want to take away my military power, let the king talk to me!" You? He looked Ziber up and down, and then dropped the sentence, "Not qualified enough!" After saying this, Zheng Qizhi stretched out his hand to push Qi Bo aside, he staggered two steps, almost fell, and could only watch Zheng Qizhi stride and try to leave the barracks.

Previously, Qi Bo had planned to persuade him with good words to induce him to voluntarily surrender his military power. Therefore, he asked Zheng Qizhi to go to Qi Bo's Mansion to talk about it again and again, but he never saw Zheng Qi come before, so he had to leave this way, and directly asked Zheng Qizhi to hand over the military power, and the Qi people took matters into their own hands, and asked Zheng Guo's army to turn back the way it came.

"You slaughter the village so ferociously, there will definitely be retribution!" Qi Bo pointed at Zheng Qizhi and said loudly, now he is really difficult to ride a tiger, he joined forces with Dongyi before, this matter has not yet been put on the agenda, Dongyi and Qi have started a war, at this moment Qi Bo has been forced to a dead end by Zheng Qizhi, it is impossible to ease up with Dongyi, but if Qi Bo gets the military power, he still believes that as long as he shows sincerity, Dongyi is willing to give Qi time to the country.

"If you have the ability, go to the king to impeach me!" Zheng Qizhi flicked his sleeves and walked to the door and stood suddenly, turning his back to Qi Bo and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to say it, I've been in Qi Country for some time, and there are some things that I shouldn't know in the first place, but some people's mouths lack a gatekeeper." The tragic death of the people of Dongyi, this account should not be counted on my head, Qi Bo should have counted it in his heart! Throwing down this sentence, Zheng Qizhi snorted coldly and went out.

Qi Bo was in the house, but his heart was full of fear and anger, which was a kind of anger brought about by the weakness of the heart after the mask of hypocrisy was torn down, and he wanted to draw his sword directly and kill the weak Zheng Qizhi directly under the tent. But at the last moment, reason still prevailed, and it was not difficult to suppress that impulse to kill an unpopular general on his own turf, and it was not necessary to use such means.

The first thing Qi Bo did when he returned to Qi was to order to investigate why Dongyi and Qi had a war provoked, according to Qi Bo's plan at that time, this year's Qi River flooded, and he told the King of Zhou that the Yellow River was flooding and the people were suffering.

In this way, Qi Bo could follow the example of King Wen and raise troops on the grounds that the king was immoral and brutalized the people. Introducing Dongyi to help, he promised to divide the world equally with Dongyi once he attacked the capital of Ho.

However, all this wishful thinking was not achieved in the end. After the resignation of Shenhou, Zhao Shudai became the representative of the princes of the court. Uncle Zhao is very different from others, because he has not been ambitious in his career for many years, so he travels around, unlike the narrow social circle of the political aristocracy in the past, he can be regarded as erudite and well-informed. Uncle Zhao has a wide range of words and is familiar with the current situation in the world. Although the flood in Qi was intercepted by Yu Shi's father, he was still able to be brought up by Uncle Zhao in the court, and Ji Gongyan was forced by the ministers and had to send Uncle Zhao to solve the difficulty.

This seems to be a passive situation, but it is true that Uncle Zhao and Ji Gongyan spent many years of thinking about a game, which surprised everyone after seeing the ending of this matter.

Things eventually got out of Ziber's control, and in the end he was surprised to find that the situation had fallen into the side of the king, who had never been taken seriously by them, which was very annoying.

And the current situation in the palace is also very chaotic, and people are dazzled and don't know what everyone wants to do? There is no news about whether Uncle Qin is seriously injured so far, but seeing that Mrs. Zheng's life is becoming more and more tense day by day, the midwife in the palace has begun to stand by at any time and moved to live in the Xiande Palace.

By this time, it was already known that Mrs. Zheng's miscarriage was just a trick, and Ji Gongyan was still dormant in Huachen Palace, refusing to come out, ignoring everything that happened outside, like a person who was frustrated in his life and sought to be released, which was reasonable. No one can find a flaw.

Therefore, Shen Hou walked back to Qiongtai Hall every now and then, hoping that Bao Xi could come forward to persuade Ji Gongyan that she had already followed Bao Xi's method to declare the war between Qi and Dongyi as a national disaster, Dongyi had been portrayed as the heart of a tiger and wolf, trying to steal the world of Zhou, Zheng Guo Zheng Qizhi was angry and led his troops to the border to support the weak Qi State, and people of insight in the world should take it as their responsibility at this moment.

The publicity of this matter made it difficult for Qin Guo to do, Mrs. Qin's face in the past two days was even more ugly than a few days ago, if someone fell into the well at this moment and poked out the news of Qin Guo's refusal to send troops, whether it was true or not, Mrs. Qin had no place in this palace.

Empress Shen's move has recalled a lot of harem prestige for her, and the number of people who go to the East Palace to pay homage has gradually increased in the past few days, but the number of people who wander around Mrs. Qin has gradually decreased. Just like Bao Xi said at the time, people's hearts are easy to get.

Coincidentally, there is also an amazing coincidence: the state of Chu sent troops to support the battle between the state of Qi and Dongyi, and the people of the world were excited.

It's a pity that Ziber doesn't think this is good news at all.

Xiuxiu will go to Qiongtai Hall every day, and ask Bao Xi about the whereabouts of the current Tai Hospital, Bao Xi is pacing back and forth in the hall, she is also starting to be anxious, I don't know what to do at this moment? Since she was a child, Bao Xi has never encountered such a tense situation, her forehead has been covered with fine and dense sweat, like a person who is indecisive, looking at the situation on the chessboard, she can't see through it at all. She looked Xiuxiu up and down, opened her mouth, closed it again, frowned and asked, "What did Mrs. Zheng say?" ”

Xiuxiu shook her head, "I didn't dare to tell Mrs. Zheng the whole thing, it was all based on what you taught that day, and I lied to the past." ”

"I'm afraid that I may not be able to hide it, Mrs. Zheng has been by the king's side for many days, and she always understands him." Bao Xi felt very worried, and finally understood what a child meant to the women of the harem, this is the Dragon Gate, jumping over and flying into Jackie Chan, if you can't get over, it will be an abyss.

Xiuxiu sighed, "Mrs. Zheng just knows, and she can only accept it, how many women in the harem can really be so fragile that they are vulnerable?" ”

"If it's really ......" Bao Xi decided to take a risky move, but before the words were finished, Twenty-seven rushed in, holding his thighs with both hands, panting, "Whoop" said, "Oh no, no, big thing, just now I heard news sent to the palace, saying that it was found out that the war between Dongdongyi and Qi was provoked by Zheng Guo, Zheng Situ, oh no, it was Zheng Bo's casual escort who went to Dongyi to provoke and caused the war." Now everyone is talking about this matter, and they want the king to give an explanation, and the three layers in the Huachen Hall are surrounded by water! ”

"Where's my uncle?" Bao Xi asked, unconsciously grabbing her skirt with her hand.

"Still stabilizing the situation in the Dazai Palace," Twenty-seven said in a panic, "Empress Shen is confronting Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin is also taking advantage of the fire to rob, wanting to go to the king to ask for an explanation of Uncle Qin's matter, but she was blocked by Empress Shen, and now she ......" She said and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Father Yu Shi is blocking these people, but it seems that he can't last long, I don't know what the king is going to do?" ”

"Oh no," Xiuxiu looked at Bao Xi's helpless eyes, "If this matter spreads, Madame will definitely be implicated!" ”

"You go back first, stabilize Mrs. Zheng, we are prepared for the worst, that is, please pick Lang Zhong in the capital!" Bao Xi said, Xiuxiu nodded, and ran out of the Qiongtai Hall quickly, Bao Xi turned to Twenty-seven again, "Anyone who comes to the Qiongtai Hall to look for me will say that they don't know where I went." ”

"Yes, Niangniang," Twenty-seven nodded, she didn't ask where Bao Xi was going, she only knew that the current situation was out of control, this time anyone, including Mrs. Zheng, including Xiuxiu, including herself, including Bao Xi, also including Ji Gongyan, Empress Shen, and Mrs. Qin. It only takes the slightest fault for one person to turn the game into an irreversible dead game, regardless of where your eyes were placed in the first place.
