Chapter Eighty-Nine: Who Leads the Troops
Mo Ziling looked up helplessly: "Really, Yingyi and they have already pulled Jian Yi's body back to the barracks, second brother, don't drink it, let's go and see it first." Also, there seems to be some commotion at the front......"
He said: "Maybe the world is going to be chaotic again. ”
In the Fengxian Hall of the Great Liang Palace, Concubine Xie's injuries were finally almost healed.
A small chamberlain hurriedly brought a small bamboo tube in, Xie Guifei reached out and took it, took out the letter paper in the bamboo tube and looked at it, and lit the candle next to her and burned it out.
Cui's mother, who was hidden on the side, stepped forward.
Since her death after the abolition, the people who listened to the rain pavilion were purged on a large scale, and now she is the only seedling left.
The identity of Yaowu in the past is gone, but as long as Concubine Xie still has people to deal with, she is still useful.
Cui's mother originally planned to let go of her skills and do a big job.
In order to deal with Jiang Mengyun, she also deliberately instigated Mo Xin'er.
It's a pity that it looked like it was easy to succeed, and I didn't know what means Jiang Mengyun used, and the third princess, who was not very easy to use, suddenly didn't go against others again.
But a few times when I met her, I was inexplicably going to stab her with a sword, saying that I wanted to kill her to vent my anger.
This incident has been so far, but it has made her less daring to show up at will, and no one can guarantee that Mo Xin'er will do anything weird.
A mother who used to be a powerful mother by the side of the queen of the middle palace betrayed her master, but in the end ended up like this, which is naturally not worth it in the eyes of normal people.
But Cui's mother didn't particularly care.
Fame or freedom is not what she wants, what she wants is endless wealth, power to pass on to future generations.
Queen Xue talks about "focusing on the overall situation" all day long, although she seems to trust her, she only treats her as an ordinary old mother.
She just took the money every day to serve the queen's daily life, and once mentioned that she wanted her to help take care of her family, but Queen Xue didn't look down on her relatives and didn't agree.
Although this Xie Guifei is not very good, she is very generous, and the things she promised her have been done properly.
Now she has several family properties outside the palace, and her children and nephews have also been able to enter the officialdom and live a good life.
Compared to these, what is the trivial matter of not being able to show up at will in the palace?
Concubine Xie frowned, as if she was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that she didn't speak, she didn't urge, and waited until she straightened out her thoughts before she heard her: "You say, if Prince Rui leads the troops but loses, will it affect Beichen?" ”
This question was very connotative, but Cui's mother instantly guessed a possibility.
The big war is imminent.
And in this battle, Xie Guifei hoped that Daliang would lose.
But she didn't quite understand why, but it was certain that it had something to do with the letter she had just received.
She thought about it and gave an opinion: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that if the second prince is not the commander, Prince Rui will be defeated, which can bring out the importance of the second prince." ”
Concubine Xie nodded, as if she was going to make a decision.
But I heard Cui's mother say again: "But ......"
With the word "but", Concubine Xie suddenly concentrated, she tilted her head, and listened to Mother Cui say again: "The second prince and Prince Rui have always been good, if Prince Rui is defeated, I am afraid that the second prince will not be willing to stand by." ”
She analyzed carefully: "Now that the concubine has a big belly, it won't be long before she will give birth." It's okay to be a princess, but if it's a prince, I'm afraid that if the second prince desperately asks for his life to go to the battlefield, the emperor will agree to protect the overall situation. ”
Concubine Xie's brows furrowed.
Yes, it does.
Mother Cui can think of these, and she naturally thinks of it, but there are only two generals who can lead the troops in Daliang, the second prince and Prince Rui, and at this time, they suddenly change to others, not to mention that the courtiers don't agree, even the emperor will have doubts.
Concubine Xie suddenly regretted it.
Knowing this, the military power should have been let go a little.
For example, let the Qin family and the Xue family also make a little general in the army, can't they just quit and send them to death at this time?
It's just that at that time, she wanted to seize power, and who would have expected that she would face such a dilemma one day in the future.
The most important thing is that she didn't expect that Ning Guo's surname Cui actually had such a big heart, a small squire official, it was already good to be able to get to this point, and he could still snatch the position of coach from Zhu Qichao's hands.
Concubine Xie also thought about ignoring the other party's request, but the truth was that it was impossible.
Over the years, although they have avoided it in every possible way, the two sides have long been in each other's hands.
She refuses to cooperate today, maybe tomorrow will be the fate of the nine clans who were wiped out by the news leak.
Before the second prince successfully ascended the throne, she would never allow this kind of thing to happen.
Xie Guifei slowly sat up straight and thought carefully: "If it is...... Let Jiang Mengyun follow to the front line as a military advisor? ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head again and denied: "No, now that she is the princess of King Qi, it is impossible for her to be Prince Rui's deputy anymore." ”
Speaking of this, Concubine Xie couldn't help but curse again: "Damn slut! She's having a good time! ”
King Qi and Jiang Mengyun have been married for some time, and they came to the palace two days ago to say goodbye, and the lowly woman who was in front of Queen Xue before has now become a dignified princess of Qi.
However, after a few days of work, the originally thin face has become a little rounder, and there is no heavy makeup, but the complexion is excellent, and the green shadow under the eyes that I used to see has disappeared a lot.
It can be seen that Mo Ziqi treats her well, and it can even be said that she is extremely gracious.
Standing for a long time, I was afraid that her legs would hurt, and when I walked far, I was worried that she would be tired, and when the two of them came to the Fengxian Hall to ask for peace, the look in their eyes when they looked at each other saw that Xie Guifei almost couldn't help but kill someone.
She is the most favored concubine of Daliang, and she has never seen such a strong love in the eyes of the emperor.
No, maybe I did.
But not to her.
It's against that slut, the slut who is dead!
Because of that slut, Mo Ziqi has received supreme grace since he was a child, and Prince Li's Mansion has become the most special existence in Daliang.
Even the armory that the second prince is not allowed to have, he has.
The marriage that the second prince could not decide on his own, he could.
His reputation is all over the world, and he has already firmly suppressed Mo Beichen, and Emperor Liang is not only not angry, but very proud.
If it weren't for the fact that she has watched closely over the years, Concubine Xie Guifei wouldn't know if the emperor would have given Mo Ziqi a daze in the end!
As for Jiang Mengyun, this is even more so.
The more time passed, the more Jiang Mengyun became the one who had to die in her heart.
She is too difficult to deal with, every time she wants to clean her up, she has a way to dodge it, she can't design a frame, she can't assassinate secretly, and she can't even die if she intercepts and kills her openly!
Concubine Xie suddenly remembered how this woman came to Daliang, and she couldn't help but jump in her heart and suddenly became puzzled.
"What kind of life is this slut, the whole family is dead, but she is left alone, she can't die, it won't be the reincarnation of a lucky star......"
Cui's mother on the side listened to it funny: "How come, Niangniang, don't scare yourself, how can the reincarnation of a lucky star cause the whole family to die?" The old slave saw that she was a lonely star. ”
"Really?" Concubine Xie was skeptical, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be true, so she nodded again and put her heart at ease, "That's right, the whole family is killed, it's like a lonely star......
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind: "Then Your Majesty asked her to marry King Qi, hahaha, her life is so hard, maybe one day Mozi Qi will also be killed." ”
After thinking about it, she suddenly said again: "Mozi Qi's life is also very hard, and two people with hard lives restrain each other, which is interesting." ”
After being depressed for so many days, Concubine Xie finally became happy.
Called Hong'er to come up and change the hot tea, she took a sip comfortably, and then slowly closed her eyes and planned in her mind.
A battle that must be lost, who should be allowed to fight.
It is necessary to clear up the relationship with Mo Beichen, and to make the court have nothing to say.
Cui's mother listened to her for a long time, and suddenly had a good idea: "You said, how about letting His Royal Highness King Qi lead the troops and let Princess Qi be his military advisor?" ”
Xie Guifei opened her eyes suddenly.
She stood up, paced left and right for two steps, clapped her hands, and couldn't hide her excitement on her face: "Why didn't this palace expect that His Royal Highness King Qi can be civil and martial, and his concubine is a rare strategist in the world, isn't this a great thing?" ”
Gently patting Mother Cui's shoulder, Concubine Xie frowned and smiled: "Yes, Mother Cui, your idea is very good, this palace has long seen that your mind is very flexible, and you may not be Jiang Mengyun's opponent." ”
Pinched the handkerchief in her hand with some excitement, and Concubine Xie called Hong'er again: "Go, bring a box of jewelry boxes from the palace." ”
Hong'er was a little strange: "Niangniang wants a jewelry box, is it any one?" ”
"Yes," Concubine Xie nodded, and when she took it, she simply stopped picking it and handed it directly to Cui's mother, "Take it back, it can be regarded as a reward for you, wear it for the children at home to play, and don't lose the face of my Phoenix Immortal Palace when you go out." ”
Cui's mother suddenly weakened her legs, knelt on the ground, and said with great gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness." ”
The corners of Concubine Xie's mouth hooked a smile: "As long as you work hard and serve with all your heart, these things outside your body, this palace will never treat you badly." ”
Cui's mother should be again and again.
Sending this decision out overnight, Concubine Xie Guifei sat back on the collapse, sighed with a smile: "Ah, it seems that this world is going to be chaotic." ”
The world is really in chaos.
Ning Guo didn't know if it was about the same place of self-cultivation and recuperation, or if he had already found a suitable candidate for the coach, just in autumn, he gathered 300,000 troops and quietly went north, and the border was immediately ready to move.
This time, the boss is really surnamed Cui, called Cui Shi'an, and I heard that he was originally the servant of Ningguo.
In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the talents arrived, they sent an urgent report of 800 miles.
The little messenger who delivered the letter didn't know how to run for a few days and nights, and when he arrived, he fell headlong.
Someone on the side had already helped him down to wait for rest, and the chamberlain took the urgent report in his arms to Emperor Liang, and Emperor Liang suddenly changed his face when he saw it.
It didn't take long for urgent reports to come.
"Report, the army of Ningguo has gone north and has entered Qidi."
"Report, Qidi has been lost, and the army of Ningguo has marched to Liaozhou."
"Report, the Liaozhou guards ask for reinforcements from the army."
"Report, the Liaozhou guards ask for reinforcements from the army."
And then it's almost the same content, Qidi is the most border of Daliang, and the place where it intersects with Ningguo, it is a three-regardless zone on weekdays, because it is normal to lose it.
Liaozhou is the real border, the second prince and Prince Rui led the army has been stationed there, and now a large number of soldiers have returned to Beijing, although there are also many people left to guard, but it is obviously impossible to deal with the local 300,000 troops.
The top priority at the moment is to dispatch generals and troops to support as soon as possible.
Emperor Liang had never heard of Ning Guo leading the troops this time, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Which Aiqing knows this person?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Qin Haifeng had already stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this person is the servant of Ningguo, and he has no prestige, and he has never led soldiers. ”
What do you mean?
Emperor Liang was surprised for a moment, a servant of the Ministry led the troops to fight, is there really no one in Ningguo to use, or does he look down on the combat power of the Liang army now?
But this doubt was obviously impossible to talk about in the early dynasty, so he had to look at the second prince.
Mo Beichen stood up at the right time: "Father, this person has already heard that he is the original father-in-law of the eldest young master of the Jiang family in Ningguo, but now he has climbed up to their second prince Zhu Qiwen, and it is probably because of this that he seized the opportunity to lead the commander this time." ”
But the battlefield is not a joke, even if the other party's move looks like a joke, Emperor Liang can't let his guard down because of this.
Who knows if the person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere would be some kind of genius leading the troops?
After all, he is also a person who has had a relationship with the Jiang family.
Emperor Liang paused for a moment and asked the point: "Then, who is willing to share my worries and go to meet the enemy?" ”
For a moment, no one spoke, and almost everyone instinctively stopped their eyes on the second prince.
In the previous two wars, the two princes were particularly brave.
Even if Ning Guo had a small advantage because of their civil strife, when he fought against Wu Guo, his talent had already been revealed.
They were somewhat accustomed to him leading the troops.
But this time, the emperor obviously didn't want him to go to the front again.
What are you kidding, Concubine Xi hasn't been born yet, and there is only one prince left in the Daliang Palace, Mo Beichen, if he really makes any mistakes, and Concubine Xi gives birth to a princess, won't Daliang have a descendant?
Although there are still many princes, it is the next policy after all.
Emperor Liang swept his gaze to Moziling: "Prince Rui, are you willing to lead the troops?" ”
Mo Ziling was suddenly named, and hurriedly stood a step forward, just about to speak, Xu Zhitao on the side suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way: "Your Majesty, Prince Rui is young, and he used to follow the second prince to show his skills, this time the other party is menacing, and the minister thinks that he should send a more suitable candidate." ”
Mo Ziling was stunned for a moment.
I don't know how I suddenly became a "young" person, as if I couldn't fight without the second prince.
He was subconsciously a little unconvinced, but the Xu family had always been angry with the second prince, and he couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do, so he could only endure it first.
Emperor Liang raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be a little curious: "Aiqing has a better candidate?" ”
Xu Zhitao nodded and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Prince Li to lead the troops and go to Liaozhou to resist the enemy." ”
Mo Ziqi, who had been standing beside him and was almost non-existent, raised his head with a blank expression.
