On that day, Ji Gongyan was not in court and government, and he watched the entire situation and the movements of the princes coldly, and asked Yu Shifu to present beauties from all over the world, and waited for a thick and thin opportunity in the midst of indulgence. Until the year when Bao Xi entered the palace, he had been on the throne for three years, and the resignation of Shenhou, the Shangqing of Dazai Palace was killed by him, the flood disaster in Qi was difficult to treat, and the danger of the dog Rong in Qin was the most suitable opportunity.

Since three years ago, Ji Gongyan has fought in the south and the north, balancing and deterring among the princes, and now there is the respect of the Qi State, the harmony of the Zheng State, and the prostrate of the Qin State. The vassal of the Jin State is only a matter of time or time, and the Song State has always been peaceful, as for the Chu State in the south...... Dongyi has been leveled, the dog Rong is retreating, Beidi is frustrated, and sooner or later it will be the turn of Chu to be passive.

The time he has to wait for has come, but the conditions are still not ripe, there are not enough soldiers and horses in the pickaxe capital, and the water and grass outside the pickaxe capital are not rich, this one thing is a heavy burden on Ji Gongyan's heart, compared to the absurd war in the north of Jin, these are the real bargaining chips. Now that Bao Xi asked, Ji Gongyan could only smile bitterly, drank the wine, and the spicy and exciting feeling burned his chest along the esophagus, "Although the first king was able to ascend the throne, he was always restrained by the princes, called the Son of Heaven Monarch, in fact, he was ruled by the princes, and if he conformed to them, he was a Ming monarch, and if he could not comply, he was an absurd tyrant. ”

"The concubine respects the king's cup," Bao Xi raised the Gui in her hand, looked at Ji Gongyu and said, every time there is a banquet and entertainment, after the music is over, and after the crowd leaves, the hall is the loneliest, this room is empty, silent, only Bao Xi's voice is like a spring hitting the bluestone, out of a pleasant sound, Ji Gongyu turned his head and chuckled, picked up the Ding in his hand and touched Bao Xi slightly, and drank it all.

Bao Xi grabbed Ji Gongyan's arm and leaned on his side, "It will pass." ”

"I hope that the matter of Beidi can be calmed down, and don't make trouble for me anymore!" Ji Gongyan pursed his lips, patted Bao Xi's hand, and then forced himself to stand up, he drank too much and walked a little staggered, Bao Xi followed closely to stabilize Ji Gongyan, and walked in the direction of the dormitory, she responded softly, "The matter of Beidi will definitely be peaceful, this expulsion, will not be trapped by Yi Di in a few years, the king only needs to take care of internal worries, now only the Jin Kingdom is left in the four seas, and he is expected to be unable to set off the wind and waves, he can pour the power of the Central Plains to deal with the Chu State, the king does not have to worry." ”

Ji Gongyan nodded, "If you are a man, you must be a good general in governing the country." ”

"The king wants his concubine to be a man?" Bao Xi asked rhetorically.

Ji Gongyan turned around, wrapped Bao Xi's waist with one hand, looked at her bright eyes, and stroked her clothes with the other hand, unbuttoned her neckline, and then shook his head and asked, "How is it possible?" ”

……

After the feast of the East Palace was dispersed, the ministers walked towards the outside of the palace, Yu Shifu walked at the end, parallel to the priest, the two were chatting about the strange goods hoarded in recent days, someone sent a guqin to the priest, this matter made the father of Yu Shi quite curious, and agreed to go to the house another day to see. The son of the priest has also reached the marriageable age, and it just so happens that the daughter of Yu Shi's father has not been home for a long time in the boudoir, which is also a good family matter, and the two are talking happily, someone hurriedly walked over with his head down, and stopped the two of them from going.

Father Yu Shi looked at it fixedly, and knew that the other party was Mrs. Chu's subordinate, and coughed and said to the priest, "Situ first, the old man still has some things to deal with." ”

"Yes!" The priest replied, "I'll talk to Shangqing another day." ”

"Tomorrow retreat to your house for a gathering, why bother to change the day?" Father Yu Shi laughed "haha", and the priest also laughed in response, "Well, tomorrow I will order the family to prepare some wine and meat!" ”

Father Yu Shi bowed slightly, and watched the priest leave before he turned to look at the person in front of him and asked, "But Mrs. Chu asked you to invite me?" ”

"Exactly, please also ask Yu Shangqing to move and go to Youyang Palace for a while." Siren nodded.

Father Yu Shi stroked his beard again, thinking in his heart that this time Baili Cheng entered Beijing, I am afraid that everyone's eyes are fixed on him, Mrs. Chu must be no exception, all he needs to know is nothing more than the reason why Baili Cheng entered Beijing, he followed the people in front of him and walked towards the Youyang Palace, stepped on the steps, and stepped into the hall, Mrs. Chu wore a bright goose yellow dress to the ground, her head was lightly pulled, and the vermilion hairpin swayed between the buns, she turned around and pursed her lips and smiled, and her lips were extremely bright. With a little powder, Mrs. Chu's face is particularly good-looking tonight.

"See Mrs. Chu!" Father Yu Shi said respectfully, his face was flushed and slightly drunk, Mrs. Chu walked towards Father Yu Shi step by step with a smile, the fragrance on her body was addictive, her voice was moist, and her mouth was fragrant, "You don't have to be polite, there are only you and me here, you don't have to stick to etiquette." ”

Mrs. Chu took a step forward, and Yu Shangqing took a step back, "The old minister is panicked, I don't know what Mrs. Chu summoned me?" ”

"The feast in the East Palace has ended?" Mrs. Chu asked, frowning slightly, feeling a little annoyed by Father Yu's reaction, her beauty plan frequently lost its effectiveness in the palace, and these courtiers each stayed away from her, and Mrs. Chu felt that this matter made her very annoyed.

"It's over!" Father Yu Shi said.

"The king is a banquet for General Bailicheng?" Mrs. Chu asked.

"General Baili entered Beijing yesterday and went to court today, and now Qin Hou is in the East Palace, and it is natural for the East Palace to hold a banquet!" Father Yu Shi replied, which made Mrs. Chu quite annoyed, "I didn't ask why you held a banquet in the East Palace!" ”

"Yes!" Father Yu Shi replied respectfully.

"What did you say at the feast?" Mrs. Chu asked.

"Didn't say anything!" Father Yu Shi said, this made Mrs. Chu's brows furrow slightly, and she looked at Father Yu Shi for a long time and questioned, "Oh? Didn't say anything? ”

"The queen lady invited Situ to come to play music, the whole feast never stopped, only a few ministers pushed the cup and changed the lamp, the king and the mother only cared about watching the dancing girl dance, and sometimes whispered two sentences in each other's ears, the lower officials really don't know what is worth talking to Mrs. Chu!" Father Yu Shi replied, Mrs. Chu's complexion changed slightly, and the most unpleasant thing was the love scene between Bao Xi and Ji Gongyan, "There is no need to say that there are some of these!" What is the matter of summoning Baili Cheng into Beijing? But do you want to ask Baili Cheng to go to the north of Jin to start a war with Beidi? ”

"This ......" Father Yu Shi coughed twice, unwilling to answer.

Mrs. Chu swallowed her saliva, took out the beautiful jade in her arms, took two steps forward, and handed the beautiful jade to Father Yushi's hand, "Lord Shangqing, why don't you help your concubine see if this jade is a good jade?" ”

Father Yu Shi held up the white jade in his hand and observed it against the light, the white jade was white and flawless, and the luster was transparent, "It's a good jade!" He "tsk" twice, looking at the jasper in his hand, his eyes were a little straight, and when he handed the white jade back to Mrs. Chu, he held it tightly, and was reluctant to let go at all, Mrs. Chu symbolically took it, and let go, "Someone sent it a few days ago, I don't know if there are some of these or not, it's a bit of a waste in my hands, why don't you give it to Lord Shangqing?" ”

"This gift is too expensive, I don't dare to take it!" Father Yu Shi said.

"Then ......," Mrs. Chu thought for a while, "can you borrow Yu Shangqing to play for a day or two?" ”

"Since Mrs. Chu said so, Weichen doesn't have to give Mrs. Chu a good intention," Father Yu Shi, with an old and cunning smile, looked Mrs. Chu up and down, then turned around and thought for a moment as if it was difficult, "General Baili Cheng entered Beijing this time to see Qin Hou. ”

"That's all?" Mrs. Qin asked sharply.

"Yes!" Father Yu Shi nodded, took Meiyu in his arms, and made a gesture of preparing to leave. Mrs. Chu was bored, how could she let it go so easily, and turned around in front of Father Yu Shi, who was about to go out, "What about the group of people stationed outside the city led by General Baili?" ”

"The general is traveling, how can he not have people and horses accompanying him all the way?" Father Yu Shi asked amusedly.

"When Bao Hongde entered Beijing, he asked the king to let Baili Cheng carry this road of soldiers and horses to Beidi to help in the war, why is there no movement now? Is the king going to break his word? Mrs. Chu asked.

"Naturally, I won't break my promise, but General Baili Cheng won't be able to leave!" Father Yu shook his head and smiled unfathomably.

"Why?" Mrs. Chu asked.

Father Yu Shi lowered his voice and took a step closer to Mrs. Chu, "I'm afraid that the Qin State is going to war with the dog Rong!" ”

"At war?" Mrs. Chu's brows were tightly locked, "Just with the strength of the Qin State at this moment?" ”

"Not bad!" Father Yu nodded.

"Isn't that just a dead end?" Mrs. Chu asked.

"Why would Mrs. Chu think that?" Father Yu Shi asked puzzledly, looking at Mrs. Chu's appearance, she also looked sincere, Mrs. Chu couldn't figure out what kind of wishful thinking Father Yu Shi was playing, so she had to tell the truth, "At present, the strength of the Qin State is so weak, if it only relies on the Qin State, Baili Cheng will definitely not be able to block the full attack of the Dog Rong, and this Qin State will not be reduced to the land of the Dog Rong?" ”

"If others lead troops to resist the enemy, there is this possibility, General Baili......" Father Yu Shi smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's difficult to ......"

"Does he have what it takes?" Mrs. Chu asked.

"Among the dogs, the name of General Baili makes them frightened, does he have the ability, won't he be able to see it after this battle?" Father Yu Shi said, and Mrs. Chu bit her lower lip, "Is there any hope of winning in Jinbei right now?" ”

"Does Mrs. Chu want to listen to the truth or to listen to lies?" Father Yu Shi looked at Mrs. Chu and asked.

"This is naturally to listen to the truth, what is the use of me listening to lies?" Mrs. Chu glared at Father Yu Shi, but Father Yu Shi stroked his beard meaningfully, "Isn't listening to a lie equivalent to listening to the truth?" The battle of Praise Hongde...... Can't win! If there is Baili to help, it is not difficult, but at the moment, the situation of the Qin State is critical, and the king will not let General Baili go to help. ”

"That'...... What is the king going to do? Mrs. Chu asked, he never believed that the king would watch Bao Hongde's defeat and then watch Bao Xi die because of it, Mrs. Chu, who was originally just watching the fire from the other side, is now unable to live on the outside and watch from the sidelines, she is even more anxious than the people in the bureau.
