Empress Yuan's stratagem
"General Cui, Pei'er's expedition to the southwest this time depends on your care."
Empress Yuan summoned Cui Da into the palace alone and entertained her with good tea and wine, which always made people feel that what she was going to say next was extraordinary.
"Protecting the safety of His Highness is a matter of humble duty. The queen said this, and she was serious. ”
Over the years, it is not without reason that Cui Da has been able to stand tall above the court of Jin State. Although Cui Da is a martial artist, his joy is always invisible, and his words and deeds are also cautious, which makes people unable to grasp the handle, and the city is quite deep. And taking the initiative to summon Empress Yuan was not in a hurry at first. At first, she always smiled gracefully, and what she said was just ordinary words. In this way, after half an hour, no one spoke first, until Queen Yuan was defeated.
"General Cui is really calm...... Isn't the general curious, what is the matter with the summons of this palace? ”
If Empress Yuan only wants him to take care of Jin Sipei more, she can let people prepare some generous gifts and send them to the General's Mansion, instead of moving the army and twisting the posture like now.
"When the queen wants to say it, she will naturally say it. The humble job is simple-minded and the limbs are developed, how can you guess the mother's mind? ”
Cui Da's words were a little sincere, but Empress Yuan knew that this was just his disdain to mediate with him.
"The general is really joking! If a talent like you is still simple-minded and has developed limbs, then there are probably few smart people in this world. ”
Hearing this, Cui Da glanced at the woman in the world opposite and said: "Niangniang praises falsely, and I dare not be ashamed of the lowly commissioner!" ”
"Hahahaha...... Ok ok! This palace won't joke with General Cui......" Empress Yuan's expression suddenly became serious, and her voice was a little urgent, "General Cui, you know, although Pei Er is sensible and well-behaved, her brain is not very bright...... But because of this, Pei Er is simple and kind...... In contrast, his royal brother, who only eats, drinks and has fun all day long, is really worthy of being the prince of a country...... This palace believes that General Cui will not want to see that the great rivers and mountains of my Dajin will be destroyed in the hands of a bastard, right? ”
"Mother, you can't say that!" Cui Da waved his hand again and again, as if he was particularly shocked by Empress Yuan's thoughts.
"General, you should understand the truth of 'those who know the times are handsome', right?"
Empress Yuan meant something. She is now not only in charge of the harem, but during Jin Dao's illness, Empress Yuan has always controlled the government and has a great tendency to change people. A considerable number of officials in the court were cronies of Empress Yuan. They were on the side of Empress Yuan.
"The palace heard that General Cui's wife, Feng, had just given birth to a baby boy recently...... The palace was worried that General Cui was a martial artist, and there were no female dependents at home, so he didn't take good care of Mrs. Zun, so he ......" Empress Yuan smiled and said, "The palace will take their mother and son to the palace and stay for a few days, which is also convenient for the palace to take care of them...... In this way, when the general triumphs, you can be reunited with your family, wouldn't it be great? ”
"!"
General Cui, who was still standing still, suddenly became anxious at this moment. As far as he is concerned, anyone can be killed, anyone can be touched, only his Feng'er and the child can't be moved! That's his life! Oh his life!
Cui Daqiang endured his anger, but his tone was still not good: "Can the queen think about it?" The trip was dangerous. As long as we make a wrong step, what we are waiting for will be a doom from which we will never recover. ”
Empress Yuan said with a smile: "This palace dares to say such a thing to the general today, so naturally it has made all preparations. ”
Trida was silent for a moment, his eyes shining, the excitement and passion of the hunter when he found his target. In the end, he only stood up and saluted: "In this case, I am willing to do my best for the queen." ”
"Your Highness, General Cui sent someone to send a secret message."
"General Choi?"
Hearing these three Jin Sichen, he instantly sobered up. Cui Da would not easily contact him, because with the two of them, they would definitely be jealous and suspicious.
"Quick! Bring the letter to Hongu and take a look! ”
The letter was opened, and there was only one word - "yuan".
"Your Highness, why is there only one word in this?" Yuan'...... Does it mean the Queen's Mother? What happened to the Queen Mother? ”
Jin Sichen's horizontal eyebrows tightened unconsciously, and he said, "Empress Yuan...... This can't wait......"
"What is Your Highness talking about? Why does the brocade book seem to be more and more confused the more I listen to it......"
"Jinshu, that old ...... Companion...... Father's ...... Father, has he been in the Purple Gold Palace recently? ”
"Yes. But the emperor has been in a coma, which is really worrying...... "Jinshu suddenly slapped his head, as if he had discovered a new continent. He was surprised and delighted, and said uneasily, "Your Highness...... Are you worried about Your Majesty's body......"
"Eh, what are you thinking?! Who would worry about him? You can pull it down! Jin Sichen sighed and said, "This palace has such idle time, it is better to worry about my own life......
"Huh?! Your Highness, what's the matter, why is the Jinshu more and more incomprehensible? ”
"When have you ever come to your senses? How did Hongu not know? "Jin Sichen's virtue of being a hanger will come back when he comes back. He's a serious man for only three seconds!
"Your Highness, just tell Jinshu! It's so uncomfortable to feel like you don't know anything like this! ”
"Hahahahahahaha...... The little brocade book of this palace is really funny...... Hahahahaha......" Jin Sichen grabbed the thin little brocade book and laughed, "I want to know wow?" Simple! Drink this pot of wine, and this palace will tell you! ”
"Your Highness, in broad daylight, it's easy to make mistakes when drinking!"
"Get out of the way! Something wrong? What's wrong? You don't want to look at it? Jin Sichen pointed to the cold hall and banquet, and laughed at himself, "What is the desertion of this East Palace?" Where can such a thing be mistaken? ”
"Your Highness......"
"Come on! Hongu will give you another chance! Fast! Fill the wine for Hongu and yourself! Okay, drink until you fall asleep! ”
"Yes!"
Jinshu is out of the way, and he really sacrifices his life to accompany the gentleman. He doesn't drink a drop of alcohol on weekdays, and he will fall down the most when he clinks a glass......
"Your Highness, I salute you with this cup!"
"What do you respect me?"
"Treat Jinshu like a brother! Delicious and fun on weekdays, there will never be a shortage of brocade books! Jin Shu knows that His Royal Highness is actually a person who has no quarrel with the world! You hate the struggle for power, and you hate everything in this palace...... But over the years, you have still done your best to protect the lives of these hundreds of people up and down the East Palace...... Your Highness ......"
"You said you! It's so decent, why are you so sensational all of a sudden? Jin Sichen wiped away the tears from the corners of Jinshu's eyes with some amusement, and said, "Don't say it, Bengong...... I really regret it now......"
Xiao Jinshu was stunned when he heard this, his stunned appearance was extremely cute, and Jin Sichen was amused again.
"I regret raising you such a little crying bag, crybaby! Hahahahaha......ha
"Your Highness!"
……
The laughter of the East Palace was rare, and it drifted far, far away.
General's Palace.
"General, that's how you promised the queen?"
Vice General Jiang beside Cui Da had the word worry written on his face. This is a great sin of deceit!
"Empress Yuan has threatened Feng'er and the child's life, what can I do?!"
"But, General, what should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do? His Majesty has told you to take good care of him! How do you ......?"
Cui Da's eyes are naturally clear and transparent, and there is a thunderous momentum that persecutes people, and he is even more powerful at this time.
"Empress Yuan does not know whether she is alive or dead, and dares to challenge His Majesty's authority...... It's only a matter of time before she misses! Do you think General Ben will believe the woman's words? Today's events are nothing but helplessness...... I have already sent a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is incomparably intelligent and will be able to explore the mysteries. ”
Cui Da's confidence in Jin Sichen shocked the lieutenant general. The adjutant general always thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just a vase that was "useless", but the general trusted him so much...... Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has anything extraordinary?
"By the way, General, what should the second prince do?"
Cui Da thought for a moment and said, "He's just a poor kid...... But his mother is too ambitious, and she will hurt him after all......"
"That'...... What does the general mean? ”
Do you want to keep this scourge?
"Naturally, people are meant to be killed. As I said earlier, the grass must be cut down to the roots, and the enemy must not be killed with even the slightest possibility of resurrection. Cui Da's voice was full of strength, and there was a strong confidence in it.
"The general wants to do it in the southwest?"
The Southwest is indeed a great place to get your hands dirty...... However, Feng Er and the child are still in the hands of Empress Yuan......
If the fish dies and the net is broken, the situation will not be easy to clean up...... His Royal Highness is now lacking in skills, and he may not be able to protect their mother and son......
"No......" Cui Da calmed down, thought for a long time, and said, "We need to keep him." When we return to Xijing, we can also use Jin Sipei as a threat to force Queen Yuan to stop. ”
Vice General Jiang said worriedly: "What if Empress Yuan is really ruthless and doesn't want Jin Sipei?" ”
"'Tiger poison does not eat children', let alone a woman?" Cui Da patted the lieutenant general's shoulder, with a bit of reassurance. He said, "Don't worry! When things are at the worst they will mend. You and I have experienced a hundred battles, and for such a small scene, we should be fearless! Cui Da paused, and then said, "As for Feng'er and the child...... Although they are in the palace, we can't watch them all the time...... However, we still have His Highness to help us......"
Cui Da didn't know whether he said this last sentence to himself or to Vice General Jiang. He looked at the dripping rain outside the window, and his mood was quite complicated.
