The queen mother said that she had asked the people in the morning if you had been there last night, and they didn't know about it, and she thought she was just dreaming. If the father has something to say, why not make it clear to the queen mother? You come in a hurry, and you hurry away, complaining about her in your heart, can she feel good in her heart? Yijiu's matter, the queen mother also doesn't want Chu Hou to use this matter to threaten the king in the future, if the world knows that father and son kill each other, I am afraid that it will be criticized, and the queen mother has good intentions! Nian'er defended Bao Xi, both of them thought that the Chu army's attack on Shen Guo was a secret that Bao Xi leaked to Shen, but who knew that this matter had nothing to do with Bao Xi at all, and even she didn't know what happened?

"How can the widow not know the kindness of your mother, but this matter is now in passivity, and there are too many things to deal with, so don't drag her into the water again! As a queen, it is her duty to take care of the harem, and as for the government affairs of the previous dynasty, it has nothing to do with her, so don't bother her! Ji Gongyan commanded, Nian'er had to respond, said "yes", and then retired and left the study, he slowly closed the door, making a "squeak" sound, Xiuxiu didn't know when to appear aside, Nian'er saw her with her spare eyes, turned around and walked out of the door.

Xiuxiu followed Nian'er's side, and caught up with her when she left the Xiande Palace, Nian'er glanced at Xiuxiu, "You dare to eavesdrop even on the king's conversation?" ”

"I just want to know if it's time to confront the Chu army now?" Xiuxiu asked.

"Yes or no, what does it have to do with you?" Nian'er looked at Xiuxiu and asked, her tone was quite impatient, "Could it be that you also want to go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

"If so, isn't this the best time to deal with Empress Shen and Mrs. Chu?" Xiuxiu said, this made Nian'er stop immediately, turned to Xiuxiu with a suspicious face, "What do you say?" ”

"Chu Hou and Shen Hou join forces, but Mrs. Chu will never join forces with Shen Hou, although this is the case, but Mrs. Chu may not think that we think so. Now that the Marquis of Chu was instigated by the Marquis of Shen, he openly became an enemy of the Great Zhou, if he waved his army south, Zhou and Qin joined forces, the outcome is unknown, and Mrs. Chu will definitely feel that she is implicated in this matter, once the king is furious, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to her, and if she kills Shenhou, she will also say that it is in the past! After Mrs. Chu killed Shen, this matter will never spare Mrs. Chu, the alliance between Shen and Chu will be broken, and the king will naturally kill Mrs. Chu in order to give Shenhou an explanation, so that the power of the world is under the control of my Great Zhou, and the power of the country is used to deal with a small Chu State, and the division is famous, can you still let the Chu State be defeated? Xiuxiu analyzed, this analysis seems to be quite reasonable, and even Nian'er can't help but look sideways at Xiuxiu, but he pondered the stakes and had to say, "What you said seems quite reasonable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of loopholes!" ”

"How?" Xiuxiu asked.

"Why did Mrs. Chu kill Empress Shen?" Nian'er asked, "Mrs. Chu will never attack Empress Shen, but it is a bit possible to attack you!" You still have to think about how to protect yourself, the major general is staring at the life and death of Empress Shen! ”

"Mrs. Chu may not be able to do it, but if Shen Hou was poisoned, who do you think everyone suspects first?" Xiuxiu asked with a smile on her face, she had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and now she was just waiting for the time to come, "Mrs. Chu doesn't care about whether the king wants to attack Chu at all, what she cares about is whether this matter will make her relationship with the king more and more rigid, although Mrs. Chu knows that the king will not be interested in her, but she has not been able to get the king's heart for many years, so she has planted an obsession in her heart, she knows that the king wants to kill Yijiu, maybe she will think that the king wants to eradicate Shenhou, as soon as Shenhou dies, who is the most suspicious in the harem?" ”

"Your plan is really ruthless!" Nian'er looked at Xiuxiu and had to sigh.

"Thank you for your highness's refusal," Xiuxiu said with a smile.

"Now that you've figured out how to do it, do as you do!" Nian'er took two steps, then turned her head to look at Xiuxiu, "Don't you worry, in the future, you will become today's Mrs. Chu?" Because you have an obsession in your heart that you can't get, you become more and more paranoid? ”

"Can Mrs. Chu and I be the same people?" Xiuxiu said dissatisfied.

"What's the difference?" Hearing this, Nian'er continued to walk towards the East Palace. Xiuxiu, like Mrs. Chu, kept them by her side for Ji Gongyan's use, and once the value of this use was exhausted and used up, she abandoned them, without the slightest reluctance, and even did not hesitate to kill them. Even though Xiuxiu was full of smiles on her face, her heart was full of sorrow, and she felt deep sadness, how could she not know what kind of road of no return she was walking?

But what if you know? Has this fateful arrangement changed?

Later, the council did not appear, and the discord between their father and son quickly spread throughout the harem, and then to the ears of these scholars in the capital of the pickaxe. This discussion is a tug-of-war between Yu Shifu and Dazai Shangqing Lu Zhang, Yu Shifu always insisted on attacking Chu Shishi's nameless, might as well use the victory in Beijing to coerce Baili Cheng, who was on the border of Shen, to lead the army to attack Shen and Chu, and when the war is stalemate, Ji Gongyan only needs to mediate, and then take the land previously divided between Chu Hou and Shen Hou to redistribute it himself.

And Dazai Shangqing Lu Zhangzai insisted on the unavailability of Qin, and suggested that the king send the Great Zhou soldiers and horses to attack the Marquis of Chu, the Marquis of Chu and the Marquis of Shen wantonly abused the surrounding small countries, and the King of Zhou sent troops to be famous, plus Sima Yongzhi had just been sealed, he did not have any military merits, and there were many people in the court who were not satisfied.

Headed by Lu Zhang, a group of people who were transferred into the court by Ji Gongyan in the later period, and the people led by Yu Shifu were naturally still his authorities, and the two were arguing, and the entire study room of the Xiande Hall was a "buzzing" argument for an afternoon. He sat in front of the table in the center, squinted at these scholars, and pondered in his heart, "Since the Qin State has already arrived at the border of the Shen State, the Qin State is naturally going to send troops!" ”

"King Mingjian!" Father Yu Shi immediately praised and praised, and his face was full of joy.

"But Sima has just taken office, and he really has no military merits in the army, and now the Marquis of Chu wantonly invades the surrounding small countries, making the south of my Great Zhou angry and resentful, and it is not an exaggeration to go out to fight with the order of the Son of Heaven, and it is not an exaggeration to go out to fight against him, and he can also correct the name of Sima for Yongzhi, why not do this?" Himenomiya continued.

Lu Zhang also stepped forward to imitate the appearance of Father Yushi, and bowed with both hands, "King Mingjian!" ”

"This matter has been decided, Qin Bo Yingkai led the Qin army as the right road to attack Shen Guo, Diao Tu Tu led Zheng Guo's army to attack the left flank of Chu Hou, and Yong Zhi sent troops to fight Chu Hou Xiong Yi head-on for the middle road!" Ji Gongyan made a decision, "The three-way army is going south, and it is inevitable to capture the Chu State!" ”

"Please think twice, the king!" Yu Shi's father's face turned pale for a while, if Yongzhi had the ability to lead the troops to fight, he would have served in the army a long time ago, and there was no need to climb up with such means today, even if others didn't know about this matter, Yu Shifu knew very well, if he really asked Yongzhi to go into battle, strategize, and attack Chu State head-on as the main force, I am afraid that Yongzhi has no ability at all, this matter makes Yu Shifu a little anxious, "If this battle starts once it starts, I'm afraid it will be a big mess in the world!" ”

"Isn't the world chaotic enough now?" Ji Gongyan glared at Father Yu Shi and asked, this made Father Yu Shi swallow all the words he wanted to say next, so he had to take a step back and be silent. Ji Gongyan glanced at the others present, and no one had any objections, so he continued, "This matter has been decided, Uncle Xi? ”

"The minister is here!" Uncle Tai Shi Bo Yu stepped forward and responded.

"Count it as an auspicious day of the zodiac, and the widow will personally practice it for the army!" Ji Gong said.

"After the fifteenth day, the sixteenth day of the first month is an auspicious day, and it is advisable to go on the expedition!" Uncle Xi responded.

"Good!" Ji Gongyan nodded, stood up and decided, "On the sixteenth day of the first month, I will go to the court to talk about this matter, discuss it again in the court, and if there is no objection, I will go south to attack the Chu State!" Didn't Chu Hou covet my Central Plains for a long time? The widow will strike first and take the state of Chu for his own use! ”

"The king is wise...... everyone said in unison, but their thoughts were completely different. At the beginning of the new year, he did not go to the court, and his father came to the Xiande Hall several times to meet Ji Gongyan, and tried to persuade him to send troops several times, he moved out of Yingkai and said to Ji Gongyan, "This matter also asks the king to think twice, Baili Cheng pressured the border to prevent the army of Chu Hou from attacking Shen State, and then Shen State pressed the formation with Qin soldiers, if Chu Hou attacked Shen State, he could only ask Qin Guo to pick up a cheap one." Xiong Yi seems to be obedient to the king's orders on his face, but he must have calculated in his heart that the king is going to attack Shen Guo and kill Yijiu, and the world can't let the world know. The state of Chu is strong in the south, and surrendering to my Great Zhou is just a last resort, but I am not afraid of my Great Zhou, if it really goes to war, the world will be in chaos, I am afraid that it will be beneficial to the Chu State and harmful to my Great Zhou! What's more, Baili Cheng's pressure is to relieve the siege of Shen State, and then ask Qin State to lead troops to attack Chu State, I am afraid that it will lead the wolf into the room, but instead call Qin, Chu, and Shen to join forces to encircle and suppress the two armies of Zhou and Zheng! ”

"The widow has also thought about this matter," Ji Gongyan did not deny the words of Yu Shi's father, and now there are only the two of them in the study room of the Xiande Palace, he stood up from the table and slowly paced in front of Yu Shi's father, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a serious and heartfelt tone, "Win Kai Xiushu three letters to transfer Baili Cheng into Beijing, Baili Cheng has always refused to listen to the order, Win Kai made a military order to the widow, if he can't win and return to the court, he will be presented to the Qin State with both hands, in this case, the widow asked him to send troops today, if he can't take the Shen State and the Chu State, You can also hold the Qin State in your hands, which is also cost-effective! ”

"Win away from the cunning, I'm afraid it's his words, the king has to think twice!" When Father Yu Shi heard this, his heart was even more worried, Win Kai could say such cruel words, to let Ji Gongyan let him go back to Qin, I am afraid that Ji Gongyan will definitely force Yong Zhi to make a heavy oath above the lobby, and the experience of the military order is like the twenty-two lives of the Bao family, which makes Father Yu Shifu feel cold when he thinks about it, but Ji Gongyan looks like a person who has nothing to do, and his face is also very calm, and his face is full of only the smug look of victory.
