Chapter 346: Let's Go to War Together
Miaoli also stayed in the Longde Hall this night, and got up early. When I got up, I asked about Zhou Shuxuan's whereabouts, and the answer I got was that I got up in the middle of the night and left, and I haven't come back yet.
The busier he is, the worse the situation becomes.
Miaoli now hates herself for being a daughter, and she can do more things, not just do errands that serve tea and water.
She was very worried about the war, and she couldn't ask others more, for fear of being deducted from a high hat for political work. Ironically, she heard it from Zhou Shuxuan's mouth and there was no problem.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't know when he would be able to come back, so Miaoli was waiting in the hall. I didn't think about going to him, but now I went to make trouble for him. He must still be with the courtiers now, and it is inconvenient for her to appear.
It was another day of waiting, and she sat here for a day, not knowing how many people had died on the front line. I don't know how long she can sit still, she feels like she is already fluttering in the wind and rain.
Zhou Shuxuan came back a little later than last night, and it seemed as if he had lost his strength, and his face was like a vegetable.
Miaoli wanted to let people pass the food was stopped, Zhou Shuxuan shook his head lightly and said, "Forget it, I have no appetite." ”
This time, there was no need for him to say it, Miaoli took the initiative to help him sit down. Q: "What's wrong?" ”
I didn't dare to ask and had to ask.
Zhou Shuxuan hung his head and said: "Yan Chengping died in battle, Gu Yushan was seriously injured, and now Jing Zheng is alone, struggling to support him." I don't know how long he can hold on. ”
"What's going on?" Yesterday's fine appearance will not be so miserable.
Zhou Shuxuan propped his head and explained, "They wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but they didn't expect to be ambushed, and the 3,000 people led by Yan Chengping were all wiped out." In addition, we underestimated them before, although there are few people in Xichang, they are all good men, and it is not a problem to fight ten enemies. ”
Hearing this, Miao Li was frightened, and felt that the army of the Jin State was vulnerable, and there was no capable person who led the army to fight. These soldiers went to the battlefield in a hurry, Xichang was ready to fight, and the soldiers must be well-trained. They can't beat it, and it's to be expected.
Zhou Shuxuan leaned back in his chair weakly, "If it goes on like this, it will only be a matter of time before I drive on the expedition." I'm afraid there is no one in the capital. Lu'er is smart, but she is too young, and among my younger brothers, I really can't find a reliable person left and right. When it really comes to last resort, I think it's just you......"
Miao Li interrupted him and asked, "Has it come to this point?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'm just planning early, otherwise I will be caught off guard when the time comes." ”
Miao Li also sat down weakly on the side, "If it really comes to that time, I'm afraid there will be no power to return to heaven." I'm afraid you're really going to be the king of a dead country. No, not only. You didn't defend the Central Plains, let the Hu people invade, and it was the entire nation that was destroyed. ”
Hearing her words, Zhou Shuxuan became more and more depressed, and said: "I can even hear how people in later generations scold me!" I also want to be a good emperor, but unfortunately I don't have a hard fist. ”
Those generals are all out of the climate, he can't help it. The tall ones plucked by the short ones also had no effect, and he had never imagined that all of a sudden there would be no one available.
No, it won't be like this.
Today is still the emperor on the top, but tomorrow he will be the king of the dead country, no one can accept it.
"No, you have!" Miao Li turned her head suddenly, "His Royal Highness King Qi, and the eldest princess, they are tougher than anyone else!" ”
Zhou Shuxuan didn't raise his eyelids, lowered his head and asked, "Is there any point in saying them?" Correct you, it's not His Highness anymore. ”
Miao Li slapped the table and got up, raised her voice and asked, "Why is it meaningless?" Would you rather die than abandon your old suspicions? They haven't done anything harmful, so why can't they use it? ”
Zhou Shuxuan was silent.
Miao Li continued: "Don't you know how many catties and taels you have? What is the use of the royal driving and personal conquest, the damned still have to die, and the country should still die. Hundreds of years of destruction in your hands, don't you feel uncomfortable? ”
How is he not uncomfortable, he is the emperor, and no one is more uncomfortable than him.
Seeing that he was still indifferent at this time, Miao Li calmed down, "It's okay, if you don't want to, forget it." What you just said, I promise you. However, if something happens to you, it is better to die a decent death than to be humiliated, and I will order the entire harem and clan to leave with dignity. ”
Zhou Shuxuan finally had some reaction at this time and asked, "Are you blackmailing me?" ”
"Why am I blackmailing you?" Miao Li asked loudly, "If it really comes to that point, do you want to be like the Song Dynasty and let the princess concubine be humiliated." It's better to die than to steal your life, and leave you a good name. ”
The words are really ugly, and the truth is indeed such a truth, no matter how unwilling he is to accept it, he must accept it.
No one dared to say such things except her, not even to mention those two men to him.
Zhou Shuxuan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you here to be able to win the battle, or are you for them?" ”
When we go to war together, we are also back together.
"If that's what you think, then I have nothing to say." Miao Li endured her anger and sat down away from him, "If I really want to do something, it may only be because I don't want to hang myself on the roof beam." Even if it is death, I also want to choose a good way to die. ”
She is for the country, and in such a situation, she can't manage so many things at all.
"You go to bed early, you don't have to wait for me."
Zhou Shuxuan stood up, sighed and hung his head and walked out.
didn't give an answer before leaving, I don't know what choice he would make, how could Miaoli fall asleep, she could only keep her eyes open until dawn.
In the end, I couldn't hold it anymore and dozed off in a daze. At about the end of the hour, someone suddenly woke her up. "Niangniang, the emperor asked you to go with the minions."
Miao Li yawned, stood up and walked out, at this time obedient cooperation is the best, and he can't trouble him anymore.
Walking all the way out, I actually walked to the gate of the palace. Miao Li didn't understand what he was going to do, so she still followed the eunuch out.
As she walked, she suddenly walked to the palace wall and saw someone she was familiar with.
Miao Li ran over with her skirt, hugged the eldest princess and didn't let go, "Your Highness." ”
The eldest princess pushed her away with a faint smile, "This is hard, you don't panic." ”
"I don't think so," Miao Li tried hard to hold back her tears, seeing the eldest princess's golden helmet and golden armor, and there were people holding her spear on the side, it should be about to go to the battlefield, and it was not suitable to cry at this time. "I am happy to see Your Highness."
"Then it won't be long before you rejoice, I'm about to leave, thinking that I should meet you before leaving, maybe I won't have a chance in the future."
Miao Li's face immediately changed, and she said angrily: "Your Highness is talking nonsense, there will be opportunities in the future." Your Highness must come back well, you must come back well. ”
The eldest princess smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you come back or not, thank you for everything." ”
Miao Li didn't think she had anything to be thanked, she let the eldest princess go to the battlefield and pushed her into the sea of swords and fires, she was a bad person.
The eldest princess moved out of the way slightly, revealing the person standing behind her. Miao Li looked over and it was King Qi. Wearing the same armor, he should go with the eldest princess.
Miao Li grabbed the eldest princess's hand and said, "There is nothing to thank, I just want to sleep peacefully, so I pushed His Highness out, wanting His Highness to resist the bloody rain." ”
The eldest princess reached out and pinched her mouth, "You're talking nonsense, that's what I should do, as if it's all for you." But I really have to thank you for keeping me company on the road. ”
She and King Qi hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they hadn't even passed a letter, thinking that they would never meet in this life. Unexpectedly, it is also a blessing that there are people fighting side by side today.
Zhou Shuxuan went to the princess's mansion last night and asked her to lead the troops to the battle. The eldest princess knew that it was a matter of time, and she would definitely think of her when she needed to be used.
But I didn't want to refuse, dying in a small world is death, and dying on the battlefield is also. Sacrificing one's life for the country is righteous, and the death is heavier than Mount Tai. Helping his father fight a war is a war, and helping him fight a war is also a war, and there is no difference.
The eldest princess was just about to agree after thinking about this, but Zhou Shuxuan seemed to be wrong about her, thinking that she was thinking about it, so she let King Qi come out.
Fortunately, she hesitated for a while, otherwise she would not have seen King Qi.
Miao Li nodded heavily at this time, "Your Highness said that you should thank me, then I will accept this thank you from Your Highness, and Your Highness don't forget to come back and invite me to eat and drink." ”
"Okay, you're indispensable." The eldest princess patted her face again, "I can't talk to you anymore, I'm leaving soon, you take care of yourself, go back." ”
They probably still have business, Miaoli reluctantly went down, turning back three times in one step. If you think about it on the bad side, she may be the last time she sees the eldest princess, how can it not be uncomfortable.
When she got to a place where she couldn't see it, Miao Li lowered her head and walked forward, secretly wiping her tears. I went back to Qingquan Palace first to see that the children were okay and not affected too much.
Zhou Yixi's biological father passed away, he went home a few days ago, and he only came back today. I went back to Longde Hall with Miaoli on the way, and Yixi was silent all the way, much more stable than before leaving the palace.
He is still a little teenager, so being stable is not a good thing, but it makes people anxious.
Miao Li asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Yixi was closer to her and said what he thought in his heart, "Erchen feels that he can't do anything and can't help the emperor, so he feels uncomfortable." ”
"Because you don't need your help yet, the emperor can take care of these things. As long as you study in peace as before, and don't cause trouble to him. ”
"Erchen knows." Zhou Yixi said sensibly, and now he has arrived at the Longde Palace, "Seeing that Niangniang is haggard, let's go and rest for a while." ”
