Chapter 153: A Game Within a Game

Xiuxiu knew that the situation was urgent, so she picked up her skirt and ran to Dazai Palace, but she didn't have time to let the people report and went straight in, and when she saw that it was someone from Qiongtai Palace, no one dared to stop her, so she had to act as if she didn't see it at all. Xiuxiu rushed into the inner hall of Dazai's palace, looked at Uncle Zhao and said, "My lord, my lord!" ”

Uncle Zhao raised his head from the bamboo slips and asked, "But the king called me?" ”

Xiuxiu swallowed her saliva, nodded, still panting, it was enough to run all the way here from the Qiongtai Palace, she coughed twice and covered her mouth with her hand, and took a deep breath before saying, "The king is in the Qiongtai Palace, and he is angry with his mother!" ”

"I'll go with you," Uncle Zhao stood up, brushed his robe, followed Xiuxiu outward, and hurried towards the Qiongtai Palace, Ji Gongyan was sitting on top of the main hall, staring angrily at the open space in front of him, Bao Xi raised his head, and told the rest of the people to go down, leaving only the empty hall.

"Wechen see the king!" Uncle Zhao led into the hall and bowed his head.

Ji Gongyan picked up the ceramic shallow tea bowl in his hand and threw it towards Uncle Zhao, the tea bowl shattered and landed at Uncle Zhao's feet, and then Ji Gongyan mixed with an angry voice, "Say!" Why send Bao Hongde to Beijing! ”

"The king sent Weichen a few days ago to investigate the treason between Shenhou and Bao Dafu and the two of them who collaborated with the dog Rong, and now this matter has a result, originally to discuss with the king, the king was busy two days ago, but he missed the opportunity, and today he had to blurt out on the main hall, I hope the king will forgive me!" Uncle Zhao said and teased his robe, then knelt down, and asked for Ji Gongyan's forgiveness, what he did in the hall today can be called a rebellion, Ji Gongyan can endure this before he has a seizure, and it can be regarded as full trust in Uncle Zhao.

"Don't sell off, have something to say." Himenomiya roared.

Bao Xi's hand was tightly attached to the hem of his skirt, and his heart was "thumping", and now that Uncle Zhao has made this deployment, it means that this matter and the Bao family cannot be completely separated, that is to say, the rebellion is not completely established, and it is ten*. She couldn't imagine that she would force her father to be a traitor to the enemy, and her heart was covered with worry and trepidation.

"Doctor Bao and Shenhou have realized treason and collaboration with the enemy, General Dog Rong Man Yesu has contacted Shenhou and Doctor Bao successively, but they were both turned away, please rest assured!" Uncle Zhao said, as soon as these words came out, Bao Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at Uncle Zhao's expression even more weird.

"Then why do you have to transfer Bao Hongde to the pickaxe capital?" Ji Gongyan asked, "Is it because the Bao family has not suffered enough criticism now?" He shouted, this was the reason why he was really angry, Bao Xi raised his head sharply and looked at Ji Gongyan, and his empty heart was now gradually filled.

"Although Dr. Bao has no intention of rebelling, it doesn't mean that others don't have different intentions!" Uncle Zhao brought a eloquent talk, "In the process of being ordered to secretly investigate, the minister found that Bao Hongde and Ying De had too close contacts, and now Ying De redeployed the troops deployed by Qin Bo, I am afraid that Ying De is not in the Great Zhou, and Bao Hongde is his right and left hand, Yi Chen thinks that he might as well transfer Bao Hongde to the capital, and use the status of Niang Niang and Wei Chen to separate the relationship between the two!" ”

Ji Gongyan's eyes narrowed into a line, he didn't expect Yingde to have such a deployment, once Bao Hongde was transferred, then the southern soldiers and horses of the Qin State he was responsible for would inevitably become a weak link, and Baocheng, as the southernmost part of the Qin State, was not far from the Chu State.

At present, everyone in the world knows that the country is in danger, the Qin army does not dare to make a big move, Yingde has to keep filial piety for three years, and he is afraid that he will not dare to make a big move in these three years, otherwise he will be sick for the princes and the world, and his wishful thinking will not be very good, Ji Gongyan has already understood the current situation at this moment, and his anger slowly retreated from his heart, "Declare the widow's will, and seal the prince of Qin as Qin Hou." ”

"The King?" Bao Xi and Uncle Zhao spoke in unison, looking at Ji Gongyan in surprise.

"If he wants it, the widow will give more, so what's the matter?" Ji Gongyan said word by word, Yang Tian laughed out loud, in the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes were changed from uncles to waits, and they were added to the officials. Ji Gongyan reigned for three years, the situation in the world was stable, and there was little turmoil, so there has never been a prince so promoted, and the closest one at this time was Shen Hou, because of Shen Hou's ascendancy, Shen Bo was changed to Shen Marquis, and the title changed greatly.

Now that the old trick is repeated, everyone's eyes will be on Mrs. Qin and Bao Xi, the Qin family is a melon field and plum, and naturally they dare not act rashly in the past three years. As long as Mrs. Qin waits for Bao Xi to make a mistake, she can naturally sit back and enjoy the success, whether it is Mrs. Qin or Bao Xi winning this harem battle, one thing is already certain, that is-Shen Hou's loss of power.

The decree came out in the morning, and all the people received the news in the afternoon, Mrs. Qin was stunned, and the whole person was a little shocked when she heard the news, this was a slap and a sweet date, but she didn't understand what Ji Gongyan's intention was to do this? After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out, and someone said, "Madam, you have been in the palace for many years, how many women have the king favored, and don't you still want to return to your side in the end?" Now the king is just angry with you, and he has lost the favor of the king in the future, and the harem is not yours! ”

Mrs. Qin smiled slightly, "Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Otherwise, why does the king need to enter the title of prince?" The woman's tone was charming, and Mrs. Qin's face was extremely serious, but there were already ripples in her heart. Ji Gongyan knew that she had transferred all the medical officers, but she didn't move herself; Knowing that Yingde was deliberately taking out his troops to threaten Ho Jing, he still pretended not to see it.

Ji Gongyan's moves really saved Mrs. Qin's face, "Do you know where the king is now?" ”

"In the morning, Zhao Shangqing was announced in the Qiongtai Palace, and then he returned to the Xiande Palace, and he did not stay in the Qiongtai Palace, and now he was forced to fight in Dongyi by Uncle Zhao, and the king is only afraid that he has this breath in his heart, right?" Said the person who replied.

"I'll go to the Hall of Virtue, and you can handle the matter of Ziyan for me." Mrs. Qin said, she didn't have time to walk out of this room before she heard the voice of someone in the hall greeting Ji Gongyan, he had been hanging Mrs. Qin here for so long, and now it finally appeared, Mrs. Qin tightened her body, clenched her hands, took a deep breath, trying to calm down her nervous mood, pretending to be calm and put her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and then walked towards the door, seeing Ji Gongyan deeply moved, lowered her head and said, "The concubine sees the king." ”

"All of you go down!" Ji Gongyan's voice said in a low voice, and all the people around him walked towards other places, and in an instant, only Mrs. Qin and Ji Gongyan were left in the main hall, "Uncle Qin passed away, the widow should have come a long time ago, do you know why the widow came now?" ”

Mrs. Qin knelt on the ground with a "bang", "The concubine knows that she is wrong, there will never be a next time!" ”

Ji Gongyan didn't let Mrs. Qin stand up, but just reached out and pinched her chin and raised her head, "You all want to set up a bureau for the widow and ask the widow to be your puppet, and the ambition is too big!" ”

"The concubine has never thought about it like this, the concubine just wants to seek justice for her father!" Mrs. Qin said with tears in her eyes.

"Justice?" Ji Gongyan sneered, "If you want justice, why are you in a hurry to kill someone?" If Uncle Qin woke up, wouldn't it be clear who assassinated him? ”

"The king," Mrs. Qin felt that her heartbeat was almost stopping, she took a deep breath, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, she looked up at Ji Gongyan, the whole person was frightened and grabbed, and fell into a panic, "The concubine is also forced to be helpless, the concubine is afraid that the king will want the concubine to bury Mrs. Zheng with her, and her father's condition has not improved for a long time, so if it drags on like this, the concubine will be in pain for the father......"

"Enough!" Ji Gongyan shook his sleeve robe, "He can do it to his father, but he wants to kill the widow one day?" ”

Madam Qin shook her head vigorously, her eyes full of tears, "The concubine will never betray the king!" ”

"Really?" Ji Gongyan looked at Madam Qin and asked, "I think the widow trusts you too much, so he will be betrayed by you!" ”

"No concubines!" Mrs. Qin's brows tightened, looking at Ji Gongyan, and she was ruthless and planned to hit a rake, "The concubines have done their best by the king's side for so many years, and they have never thought of the king's sole favor, nor have they taken power in the court for their father and brother. On the other hand, other people, once they gained power, they monopolized power in the harem and above the court, how could the king tolerate such ambitions? ”

"Hmph......" Ji Gong snorted coldly, "What kind of wishful thinking are they playing, do they think that the widow doesn't know?" ”

"The Great King is clear," Madame Qin said immediately.

"The widow will give you and your brother a chance to make up for their merits, Uncle Zhao took the widow to revitalize the army, and now the widow has to agree to ride the tiger, but the widow has never had experience in leading the army to fight, so he asked Qin Hou to compile his military book into a book, and quickly transport it from Qin to Qi." Ji Gongyan commanded.

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she immediately agreed, and inevitably persuaded again, "The king, please think twice, the expedition to the Qi country is no better than others, the road is dangerous, the sword has no eyes, I am afraid that this move is the intention of Uncle Zhao, and now Mrs. Zheng's children are under the name of Bao Xi, and the power in the court is controlled by Uncle Zhao, and the concubines are only afraid that the king has been deceived by traitors!" ”

"Blinded, not blinded, you don't need to bother!" Ji Gongyan said, "Also, once the news of the widow's death on the battlefield comes, the widow wants to win the virtue and immediately lead the troops to the Qi country to recover the lost territory of Dongyi." The crown prince Yijiu ascended the throne, you and Empress Shen were jointly named the queen mother, assisted the prince, governed the Zhou Dynasty, and Uncle Zhao and Bao Hongde and others were expelled from the pickaxe capital and were not allowed to return. ”

"No, King Tianyou, how can you die on the battlefield!" Madam Qin shook her head violently.

"As you say, the road is treacherous, and the sword has no eyes." Ji Gongyan's hand on Madame Qin's chin suddenly withdrew his strength, "As for Bao Xi and Bofu, exile for thousands of miles, and you must not return to the pickaxe capital, this is a secret edict." He took out a roll of bamboo curtain from his cuff and handed it to Mrs. Qin, "Until the last resort, you must not take out the secret edict!" ”

"Yes!" Madam Qin nodded, extremely frightened, as if it was really a time of danger in the world.
