The spies reported the truce of the Marquis of Chu, which made Ji Gongyan's heart messy, and as far as a monarch was concerned, he felt full of anger, which was the prince's disobedience to the respect of the Son of Heaven; As far as a father is concerned, he feels deeply relieved, and finally he doesn't have to bear the infamy of killing his own flesh and blood. Tiger poison does not eat children, when he made this decision, he was also very uncertain, but the emperor's affairs are like this, if he can't pave a stable position for the uncle, I am afraid that the regime of the Great Zhou will be upside down in the future.

This kind of weakness, Ji Gongyan only dared to show it in front of Bao Xi, Bao Xi's words set his mind, the top priority was to prevent Shen Hou from changing, hit himself off guard, he must first stabilize Shen Hou, this matter was approved by Bao Xi, just like Ji Gong Yan ate a reassuring pill, originally still panicked, but now he is already confident, Shen Hou has been with him for a long time, he claims to know something about this woman.

Shen Hou Gong came to report that the king was coming, Shen Hou was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked the Xi people in his palace again, this Xi people were red-faced, and they were a little anxious to speak, and they were also full of smiles at Shen Hou, and they changed the cold appearance in the past, not as good as this Xi Ren repeated, Shen Hou had already seen Ji Gong Yan and his people, he walked towards the top of the main hall, his face was dark, and the air pressure was very low, and it seemed that he was extremely angry in his heart.

"The King?" Empress Shen only had time to say a word of respect, and Ji Gongyan said to the people in the palace, "Give it to me!" ”

"Yes, King!" The people passed a look to each other, everyone has heard of the situation in the harem at the moment, and several of them are wondering if the queen can return to favor, if there can be such a good thing, the people in this palace will be blessed, and the future will be much better.

Seeing that the hall became empty, Empress Shen's heart tightened, and she unconsciously became nervous, "What is the matter with the king coming to find his concubine?" ”

Ji Gongyan didn't answer Empress Shen, but just sat down in front of the table by himself, picked up the kettle on the table with one hand, and poured himself a cup of cold tea, "Do you know why the widow relegated you to this cold palace for many years and ignored it?" ”

"The concubine has done something wrong, and it is natural for the king to punish the concubine." Shen replied.

"You think this is punishment?" Ji Gongyan asked, this made Empress Shen look at Ji Gongyan with some surprise, and wanted to blurt out a question Isn't this a punishment, but when the words came to his mouth, Empress Shen knew that with Ji Gongyan's temperament, he would definitely not want to hear this, so he turned around and said, "The king wants his concubines to introspect themselves in this palace?" ”

"How's the province going?" Ji Gongyan didn't shake his head or nod, but just picked up Empress Shen's words, which made Empress Shen breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that her thinking was finally good, so she continued, "The concubine knows that she is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"As a harem, but I can't set an example for the harem sisters, there is no principle in handling things, I am in the back but I can't exercise the queen's rights, and I don't bear the responsibility of the queen, so the harem was a mess back then!" Empress Shen analyzed, and also carefully speculated on King Zhou's expression, and still didn't figure out why King Zhou came today.

"What else?" Ji Gongyu continued to ask.

"And ......," Empress Shen's brows furrowed slightly, and she continued, "There is also the fact that Yijiu is young and ignorant, and it doesn't hurt for the concubine to teach, so he was instigated by the adulterer, and he actually ......" She said here but couldn't go on, "The concubine thinks that this matter is no wonder Yijiu, after all, Mrs. Qin had an edict in her hand back then, and it said that if the king unfortunately dies in that battle, Yijiu will inherit the throne!" ”

"And what about the edict?" Ji Gong asked in a majestic voice.

"And?" Empress Shen thought about it before she understood what old account Ji Gongyan was calculating, "What the king means is that Yi Jiu's succession to the throne is not a big rebellion, it is because he wants to kill the queen of praise, is it because he wants to kill him completely?" ”

"Slap ......" Ji Gongyan's hand slapped on the table, stared at Empress Shen and asked coldly, "So you mean, even if Yijiu wants to kill Bao Xi, it's not a big deal?" It's not a big deal to kill Bofu, is it? Just because he succeeded to the throne, he did whatever he wanted, right? Ji Gongyan's voice became louder and louder, and Empress Shen felt very scared, but because of this, she was scared to the extreme, but she suddenly calmed down, and listened to Ji Gongyan continue, "Is this how you educate Yijiu?" Educate him that the so-called dignity of the king is to do whatever you want, right? ”

"The Great King......" Empress Shen looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, "Ask yourself, if it wasn't for Yijiu's desire to harm Bao Xi, but to harm Mrs. Qin or Mrs. Wei, would you still treat him like this?" Or at this time, the whole thing is reversed, Bofu wants to kill me and kill Mrs. Chu, does the king think that what Bofu does is what he should do, and what Yijiu does is a big rebellion! ”

"Do you think that everyone in the world has brought children like you to do this?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"It's not a matter of upbringing, once you feel threatened, you naturally rebel. Yi Jiu felt that Bofu's birth threatened his life and death, and when he got power, he did not hesitate to put him and Bao Xi to death, isn't this sex from the king? Empress Shen looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, her face full of sadness, "A few days ago, Empress Bao also came to persuade me to ask Yijiu to admit his mistake to the king, but I don't think it's wrong!" It's the king's disposition that is unfair, just because Yijiu's mother is me and not Bao Xi, right! ”

"Yijiu was killed by you!" Ji Gongyan got up, glared at Empress Shen and said, those plans when he just entered the palace were put down by him at the moment, and he only felt that he actually had the idea of making peace with Empress Shen, which was ridiculous, he walked towards the door of the cold palace with a step, Empress Shen looked at Ji Gongyan's back and felt a little stunned, although she was a little annoyed, she also wanted to leave the last trace of dignity in Ji Gongyan's heart, she also knew that these days Ji Gongyan was even more on fire because of the Qin soldiers pressing on the border of Shen, guessing that he must have come today to negotiate peace with her, I am afraid that Shenhou will change one step ahead of himself.

Ji Gongyan walked to the door, and felt panicked in his heart, paused his figure and stood there and said word by word to Empress Shen, "The widow told you that if Yijiu was willing to stay that day, admit his mistake to the widow, admit his mistake to Bao Xi, if you are willing to say a soft word and mediate between Yijiu and the widow, Yijiu will not have to take today's road!" I'm admittedly wrong about Yijiu's question, but the person who really pushed him to death was you! He threw down these words and brushed away, these words were like a dagger with cold light against Shenhou's neck, making her whole back a little cold, and she looked at Ji Gongyan who was walking farther and farther away, and felt scared in her heart, but the matter had come to this, and she didn't know what to do.

Ji Gongyan understands Shenhou, just as Shenhou understands Ji Gongyan, so she knows that her retreat today must be for the sake of entering in the future, and she is tired of this kind of life now. Ji Gongyan went out and scolded the people in this palace, "Staring at Empress Shen, no one is allowed to come and go in this palace, and she is not allowed to leave!" ”

The two of them looked at each other, and the things that they had just thought had turned around were now a sure thing, and they both felt very staggered, except for nodding their heads and saying "yes", they didn't even know what to say.

Ji Gongyan returned to the Xiande Palace, and as soon as he sat down, he sent someone to bring Uncle Zhao to call, Uncle Zhao took him to pay respects, and Ji Gongyan said straight to the point, "Spread the widow's order, tell Wenshuo to point troops and generals, and prepare to go out to attack Shen Guo!" ”

"What?" Uncle Zhao's face became extremely pale in an instant, this matter was only a vague indication that Ji Gongyan sent the Marquis of Chu to attack Shen State, but even Zhao Shudao did not know the exact news about this matter, and it was only a preliminary suspicion, and this matter was not confirmed before it was put on the table, and it was completely different from the past speculation, Ji Gongyan was going to beat his son with great fanfare.

"Didn't you hear me?" Ji Gongyan asked impatiently.

"No......" Uncle Zhao shook his head, "Please think twice, the king should be cautious in this matter!" At present, the prince Yijiu is avoiding trouble in the Shen country, if you attack the Shen country at this moment, there is no special reason, I am afraid that the whole world will not accept it, and turn against the Shenhou to help the Hou, then the king will lose more than he gains! Wen Shuo Sima is afraid that he may not be able to win this battle in one fell swoop, once he is defeated again, it will be a big loss of vitality for my Great Zhou! ”

"In this battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat!" Ji Gongyan slapped the table and said viciously.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the king can't predict the results of the battle after leading the troops to the battle, not to mention that at the moment, Qin is obviously an ally of Shen, although the Chu army is stationed near Shen, but the intention is ominous, it is not easy to say, if the Marquis of Chu also extends a helping hand to Shen, I am afraid that Wenshuo will ......" Uncle Zhao gritted his teeth before saying the following sentence, "There is nothing to be done!" ”

"What if the State of Qin and the State of Chu help each other?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"Does the king have a way?" Uncle Zhao asked.

"People come up with all the solutions!" Ji Gongyan snorted coldly, "If Yingkai can't manage Bailicheng, who can manage it, who will be the prince, as for Xiong Yi...... Hmph, he is not bold enough to dare to directly argue with the widow at the moment, Qin State helps, Chu Hou will not be left behind! ”

"The matter...... You still have to think long-term! Uncle Zhao said,

Uncle Zhao's hesitation made Ji Gongyan very dissatisfied, and he was about to give an order to him, not to discuss with him, but before the words could be spoken, someone hurriedly ran in and played to Ji Gongyan, "Great King...... Big deal! ”

"What's the flustered about?" Ji Gongyan asked impatiently.

"Just now, Huachen Hall sent a lady to send a letter to the king, saying that it was Mrs. Zheng's ......" The person who came to deliver the message swallowed his saliva, deeply feeling the ominousness of this Huachen Palace, "Mrs. Zheng had a miscarriage, and the medical officer of the Tai Hospital had already gone to see it just now, this child ...... Didn't keep it! ”

"What did you say!" Ji Gongyan slapped the table and stood up, shouting.
