"First of all, bad news." Xia Xue took a sip of tea, and the look in her eyes was obscure.

"Miss, according to the spies' report, Shui Ningyan is already on his way to the Stygian Moon Country."

When Xia Xue heard this, the slender hand holding the white jade tea cup tightened more and more, until the white of the bone joints was almost transparent, and she smiled coldly: "What a water condensation smoke, but it came earlier than Miss Ben estimated." I didn't expect that she, a married man, would dare to covet Brother Shaogong, she is really a water-based poplar, and she is shameless. ”

Zhu Rao couldn't help but interject: "Miss, if that Shui Ningyan is ashamed, it is impossible to know that you and the emperor have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have a deep relationship, and you still want to seduce the emperor, such a woman really doesn't know how the emperor likes her!" ”

Almost as soon as Zhu Rao's words fell, followed by a "snap", the slap fell on Zhu Rao's cheek. Zhu Rao was instantly beaten, covered her hot face, and called out in a daze, "Miss? ”

Xia Xue's eyes were sharp, staring at Zhu Rao, her face was full of anger, and she said in a deep voice after a while: "Zhu Rao, do you know why I beat you, Miss?" ”

Zhu Rao saw her young lady's face fierce, and her heart trembled with fright, but she still shook her head in confusion.

Xia Xue said coldly: "If anyone dares to say a bad word about Senior Brother Shaogong, Miss Ben will cut off his tongue!" ”

Zhu Rao was instantly frightened by Xia Xue's gloomy words, and her back was cold, and her voice trembled slightly: "Miss...... Slaves...... The slave will never dare again! ”

When Xia Xue heard this, her face softened. Zhu Rao was a little aggrieved at this time and said: "Miss, the slave is just not worth it for you, in terms of posture and talent, you will lose to that woman at any point, but the emperor is ......"

Without waiting for Zhurao to finish speaking, Xia Xue interrupted coldly: "Okay, don't say it, even if Senior Brother Shaogong never forgets that woman?" Don't forget that the woman is now Duan Fusu's woman. Could it be that Senior Brother Shaogong could still let that woman enter the harem of the Stygian Moon Country? ”

After hearing this, Zhurao's lips moved a few times, and she stopped talking.

Xia Xue saw Zhurao's look in her eyes, and snorted coldly: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Miss Hui, according to the report of the spies, Shui Ningyan had a big fight with the Empress Dowager Dou when she left the Stygian Moon Country, and now the two of them are on the same page. Thinking that it would be difficult for Shui Ningyan to return to the palace of Xichi Kingdom in the future, Duan Fusu blocked the matter as soon as possible, and announced to the public that Shui Ningyan was suddenly seriously ill, and now he is recuperating and still retains the back position for that woman. ”

Xia Xue's eyes flashed with jealousy, and she sneered: "I didn't expect Duan Fusu to be infatuated. As far as Miss Ben knows, although Duan Fusu and the Empress Dowager Dou have a dislike, they have always been very filial to him, the queen mother, but they didn't expect that this time they would dare to disobey the Empress Dowager Dou for the sake of Shui Ningyan, a slut, I really don't know what means Shui Ningyan used to fascinate the men one by one. ”

Zhu Rao pursed her lips and snorted coldly: "It's not a fox trick that can't see the light. ”

After hearing this, Xia Xue was silent for a long time, changed the topic, and asked, "Now we can talk about good news." ”

"Miss Hui, the good news is that Shui Ningyan got the Fuxi Qin from Duan Fusu, and now all the seven ancient artifacts are in her hands."

"Okay." An unfathomable star flashed in the eyes of the summer snow, and then said, "Shui Ningyan really has some ability. ”

Zhu Rao said with a smile: "Even though Shui Ningyan has the ability, it is not as good as Miss's strategy. ”

At this moment, Zhu Rao secretly said in her heart: Shui Ning Yan has collected seven ancient artifacts, but it is just to make a wedding dress for her young lady, and when the emperor's body toxins are exhausted, the young lady will definitely become the queen of the Dark Moon Kingdom, and what is the matter with this woman.

This night, the lights in the imperial study were lit all night. It wasn't until the fifth watch that he came to the study to wait for his master to change his clothes, and found that his master had not slept all night. Darkness went in one by one and found Situ Shaogong sitting there, the red pen in his hand still sketching on the fold.

Situ Shaogong raised his head, his jade-like eyes bloodshot. Dark frowned slightly, worried in his heart. But he endured it, but he still didn't speak. He knows the master's temperament best, and he never listens to persuasion. Now he and the dark seven just want to help the master share some affairs.

Dark suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and reminded: "Master, it's time to go to court." ”

"Hmm." Situ Shaogong nodded.

At this time, just as the last part of the recital was finished, he put down the pen, stretched his arms and stretched his waist, and immediately kneaded his temples with his fingers. Seeing this, he cleverly went over and sorted out the folds that Situ Shaogong had criticized.

Suddenly, when the dark one's gaze fell on a note, he was slightly stunned. Situ Shao looked at the dark one respectfully, and said lightly: "What do you think of the Wumeng Kingdom uniting with several small countries to disturb my Mobei?" ”

Hearing this, he came back to his senses, and while continuing to sort out the twists and turns, he said thoughtfully: "What Wumeng Kingdom has done this time must be to take advantage of the fact that the master has just ascended the throne and the affairs at hand are complicated, and he is eyeing the Mobei area. ”

The Mobei region is located in the northernmost part of the Stygian Moon Kingdom, adjacent to the Wumeng Kingdom. The soil in the Wumeng country is barren and the water source is scarce, and although there is a large area of yellow sand in the Mobei area, there are also many oasis areas, with abundant water sources and delicious grass, which can definitely be regarded as a small Jiangnan in the desert area.

The Wumeng State has coveted Mobei for a long time, but the Wumeng State was afraid of Situ Lei before, so it has never dared to act rashly. However, with the continuous development and growth of the Wumeng Kingdom over the years, and Situ Lei just died, this made a crooked idea.

Situ Shaogong glanced at the dark one, "Go on." ”

"Although the Wumeng country is only a small country, most of the people in the Wumeng country drink the blood of Maoru, make a living from hunting, and are good at horseback riding and archery, and the soldiers of the Wumeng country are even more brave and good at fighting, so they should not be underestimated." As soon as he said this, he changed his words and continued, "Of course, we don't need to grow the prestige of others and destroy the prestige of my Stygian Moon Country. Although Wumeng cannot be underestimated, there are many generals with outstanding achievements in the Dark Moon Country, and it is not a problem to lead troops to fight and destroy the armies of those Wumeng countries. It's just that I don't know why the master sent the general of Zhenguo this time? Chu Kuo's military exploits were brilliant, and there was no need for him to personally lead the troops to Mobei. ”

"You mean this is overkill for Chu Kuo?" Situ Shaogong's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and Yun said lightly.

Secretly said: "The master is so arranged, naturally there is a reason for the master, but the subordinates are stupid." ”

Situ Shaogong smiled and said: "Chu Kuo's military exploits are outstanding, and his father has already given him the highest honor when he was alive, as the so-called people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, what do you think I can reward him?" ”

As soon as he heard this, he blurted out: "The rewards of ordinary gold, silver and jewelry will definitely not be seen in their eyes again." Among the Chu Mansion, Chu Kuo's two sons also hold important positions in the Military Aircraft Department, looking at the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that Chu Kuo's door is the most eye-catching. ”

Speaking of this, Dark One seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and he continued: "My subordinates heard that Chu Kuo's eldest son and Liu Shangshu's second son fought in the land of fireworks for an Oiran a while ago, and then Chu Kuo's eldest son actually killed someone directly. This matter was later brought to the court, but Chu Kuo was in a high position, and he didn't know what he had done in private, so he asked Liu Shangshu to withdraw the lawsuit. Pity that Liu Shangshu lost his beloved son, but he could only swallow his anger, thinking that he was also afraid of Chu Kuo's power. ”

After Situ Shaogong listened, his eyes quickly flashed a bright cold glow, and he opened his lips and said: "The eldest prince of Chu Kuo dared to openly beat the children of the official family to death in the capital, not because of his outstanding military achievements, so he had no fear. And Chu Kuo felt that I had just ascended the throne, and there must be many places to rely on him in the future, so he relied on the old and sold the old, thinking that I would not treat him badly. ”

Dark One couldn't help but be indignant: "What Chu Kuo did like this is simply self-defeating. ”

It has always been a taboo for courtiers, but this Chu Kuo is good, not only is he not low-key but murderous and domineering. If you don't clean up this old horseman, it's hard to guarantee that you won't do anything out of the ordinary in the future.

Situ Shaogong's originally cold eyes suddenly smiled, his lips like petals were slightly raised, and he said slowly: "Since Chu Kuo decided that I wanted to rely on him and couldn't move him, then this time I let him get his wish." ”

Dark One couldn't help scratching his head, and said suspiciously: "But master, his subordinates still can't figure out this move of the master." ”

"Even if Chu Kuo has the intention of rebellion, he will not be able to do anything if he is caught off guard now. When Chu Kuo takes his army to solve the war in Mobei, then I will find an excuse for Chu Kuo to stay in Mobei, and then take back his talismans, so as to promote some young people with simple backgrounds and enthusiastic service to the country. ”

Dark's eyes lit up, and he praised heartily: "The master is wise." ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he secretly turned his words and said: "My subordinates have remembered that in the past few days, they have made the most calls for their masters to fill the harem in the court. I heard that Chu Kuo has a woman who is twenty-eight years old, who has learned various talents since she was a child, but she is a woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

Speaking of which, the meaning of the dark words could not be clearer. Obviously, Chu Kuo had long planned to let his baby daughter enter the palace and become the emperor's pillow person. The father and son have already held important positions in the court, and when the time comes, there will be another favorite concubine in the Chu Mansion, then the Chu Mansion will inevitably be deeply rooted in the future, and who else will be able to shake this big tree at that time?

Although Chu Kuo's abacus is loud, but what kind of person is Situ Shaogong, although Chu Kuo is old and treacherous, but the new emperor of the Dark Moon Country is not a vegetarian. Only this time, Chu Kuo was afraid that he was only afraid of dreaming, but he didn't expect that he had planted a big heel.
