Chapter 43: Kill Ye Zixuan first, and then fight Long Mingguo
"Your Majesty, I have always thought you were a smart person. But there is a saying that is true, this person will sometimes be smart for a lifetime, and confused for a while. β
Shen Yunyou's ridicule made Situ Rui's face sink. Situ Rui looked at Shen Yunyou with gloomy eyes and didn't speak, Shen Yunyou saw him with such an expression, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Yezixuan has such a big power, if he dies, will many of his subordinates really come to me for revenge immediately?" β
"You killed Ye Zixuan, if they don't seek revenge on you, who else will they look for?" Situ Rui still didn't understand the meaning of Shen Yunyou's words.
"Your Majesty, I ask you. If the emperor of the Western Kingdom dies, then his sons will be the first to find out that he died by himself? Was it killed? Still is...... Will they scramble to take this throne first? β
Shen Yunyou was embarrassed to take Situ Rui as an example, because she knew that if she really said that Situ Rui was dead or something like that, this son of heaven who had been pampered and high up since he was a child would definitely not be happy. So Shen Yunyou simply changed his words and used this example on Fu Yufeng, who had never seen it before.
"I'm sure that if I kill Ye Zixuan, his many subordinates will definitely calculate with each other, looking forward to sitting in Ye Zixuan's position. I could have escaped while they were killing each other. What's more, Your Majesty, I can't leave clues so easily and let his people chase and kill me. β
After Shen Yunyou's words were finished, before Situ Rui could say anything, a voice came from outside the door that made Shen Yunyou a little strange and familiar.
"Why did Ye Zixuan kill your mother, I want to hear the reason."
Liu Xinru pushed the door and walked in, apparently listening outside the door for a while. Liu Xinru strode in front of Shen Yunyou and glanced up and down at Shen Yunyou. In the end, he sneered, looked at Shen Yunyou with a haughty attitude, and sneered: "Didn't Ye Zixuan protect you like a baby?" How could he bear to kill your mother? β
"Even if I'm a baby, I'm a discarded one after he uses it. Empress Dowager, I, Shen Yunyou, think that this head is still somewhat useful, in comparison, the position of the prince of the Naxi Kingdom is obviously much more tempting for Ye Zixuan. β
When did Liu Xinru appear outside the door, Shen Yunyou understood in his heart. Shen Yunyou looked at Liu Xinru without being humble or arrogant, and glanced at Shen Yunyu behind her by the way.
"What Ye Zixuan really wanted to kill back then was me. My mother blocked that sword for me to get my life back. So Ye Zixuan, I must kill. Queen Mother, it doesn't hurt for you to join forces with me. If I'm not mistaken, the emperor should have been planning to send troops to attack Long Ming Kingdom recently, right? β
Shen Yunyou's guess made Situ Rui, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly stunned.
How did she know?
Shen Yunyou noticed Situ Rui's subtle movements, she smiled slightly, and continued: "The number of troops sent to the frontier by the Heavenly Kingdom this year is obviously much more than before. Although this is just my speculation, I still want to persuade the emperor and the queen mother that we can't get out of this soldier. β
"Why?" Situ Rui frowned and asked.
"Long Mingguo wants to fight, but it can't be so time-consuming and laborious. Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Heaven has developed into its current state in just four years, and the people of the world must have made a lot of efforts and taken a lot of silver to fill the treasury, right? Shen Yunyou spoke sharply about what Situ Rui had done in the past few years, so that Liu Xinru next to her also listened carefully. The people are already physically and mentally ready, and at this time, if there is any riot because of the war between the two countries, the emperor, it is not a joke. β
"What can you do?" Liu Xinru asked out loud in front of Situ Rui, because Liu Xinru didn't agree with Situ Rui's recent preparation to send troops to attack Long Mingguo. She had her worries, but Situ Rui couldn't understand them.
Song Lingfeng and Song Leiyi are both now generals in Long Ming Kingdom, plus the original Murong Yunhe and others in Long Ming Kingdom, it is even more difficult to deal with. After four years of hard work, the Kingdom of Prayer has improved, but if it wants to fight this battle, it will definitely hurt its vitality. Although the Western Kingdom has always said that they have no intention of participating in the dispute between the Kingdom of Prayer Heaven and the Kingdom of Longming, it is related to the interests of the country, who can believe this kind of thing? Liu Xinru was very afraid that after they finished the battle with Long Mingguo, even if they won, they would no longer have the strength to defend the Western Kingdom.
"The Queen Mother, the Three Kingdoms of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Longming Kingdom and the Western Kingdom are very delicate relationships. Although the Western Kingdom is the largest of the Three Kingdoms, it has never done anything beneficial to the Kingdom of Prayer Heaven and the Kingdom of Longming, but has always controlled everything between the Kingdom of Prayer and the Kingdom of Dragonsong. It can be said that if the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Long Ming fight, then it is none other than the Western Kingdom that will benefit. I just told the emperor that if the emperor's dowry is enough, the Western Kingdom will send Murong Liu to the Kingdom of Prayer Heaven to bring the relationship between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of the West closer. And this so-called dowry, I don't think there is anything more suitable than the occupation of the Dragon Ming Kingdom by the Heavenly Kingdom. The Western Kingdom did not agree to join forces with the Prayer Heaven Kingdom before, because there was still the existence of Long Ming Kingdom and Yezixuan, because the Prayer Heaven Kingdom was still too weak in their eyes. But Yezixuan, I will help you deal with it, and Long Mingguo will also be included in the emperor's pocket at that time, so what reason is there for the West Kingdom to refuse? Who else dares to look down on you? β
Shen Yunyou calmly discussed the relationship between the three kingdoms with Situ Rui and Liu Xinru, and she tried her best to persuade Situ Rui not to send troops. Shen Yunyou's mouth was already dry, but when she saw Situ Rui and Liu Xinru, there were still some doubts and hesitations in her eyes, Shen Yunyou knew that she had to continue.
"Killing Ye Zixuan first, and then fighting Long Mingguo, is a very important order. If they don't get rid of Yezixuan and blindly do something to Long Mingguo, it is very likely that the Western Kingdom will help them when Long Mingguo is in danger and curry favor with Yezixuan. We don't have any reason or evidence to prove that the Western Kingdom will never make a move, will we? Your Majesty, in my opinion, you can send some clever subordinates to Longming Kingdom first. After finding out the news and situation on Long Mingguo's side, we can also start from their inside. As long as your men are shrewd, they can make a mess of that side first. This is Ye Zixuan's favorite move, and it is also a very useful move, why don't we use this trick to deal with Ye Zixuan and Long Mingguo? β
Shen Yunyou said so much, which made Situ Rui and Liu Xinru finally believe that she really wanted to kill Ye Zixuan. Shen Yunyou's change made Situ Rui and the others sneer in their hearts and secretly rejoice. Shen Yunyou is very smart, and it is best to be able to take advantage of her. If she could really help them kill Ye Zixuan, it would be a great favor for them. If you can take advantage of this kind of cheapness, no one wants to miss it.
"You go out first, I will summon you again if something happens." Situ Rui sighed secretly and said to Shen Yunyou.
"Your Majesty, should I stay in the palace, or will I stay with the king of Nanjun outside the palace?" Shen Yunyou asked obediently.
"Stay in the palace." Situ Rui lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said something that satisfied Shen Yunyou.
"Then it's better to let Shen Yunyu take me to the residence, my sister and I haven't seen each other for some years, and I also want to catch up with her."
Shen Yunyou fell his gaze on Shen Yunyu's body, making Shen Yunyu a little uncomfortable. It is true that she has not seen Shen Yunyou for many years, but she does not want to meet Shen Yunyou again.
The former Prime Minister's Mansion and the former Shen family have all been destroyed because of Shen Yunyou. If Shen Yunyu hadn't been protected by Liu Xinru, he would have been cut off by Situ Rui a long time ago. Over the years, Shen Yunyu has been working hard in the palace alone, she has worked hard to make Liu Xinru trust herself more, and to make herself more useful to Liu Xinru. The current Shen Yunyu is not as naΓ―ve as before, she will not expect Situ Rui to look at her more, and she will not expect herself to become a member of the harem concubines. She only hopes that it is enough for her to keep this life safely.
However, after she had worked hard for so long, Shen Yunyou actually came back! How could Shen Yunyu not be afraid? How can you not be afraid?
Situ Rui nodded and agreed to Shen Yunyou's proposal. Situ Rui asked Shen Yunyu to take Shen Yunyou to live in Jialing Garden, and after Shen Yunyu and Shen Yunyou left, Situ Rui whispered to Liu Xinru: "Queen Mother, what do you think of Shen Yunyou taking the initiative to join us?" β
"What she said is not unreasonable, but I still can't trust this girl, send someone to spy on her, and wait for a few days to talk about it."
After Shen Yunyou walked out of the room, away from Situ Rui and Liu Xinru, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. But in front of Shen Yunyu, she couldn't show it too obviously.
"Mother!"
After Shen Zhichen saw Shen Yunyou come out, he hurriedly ran to her side and hugged Shen Yunyou's thigh. Shen Yunyou leaned over and hugged Shen Zhichen, and after glancing at Situ Nan and Jincheng, Shen Yunyou said to Situ Nan: "Thank you for your help." β
"Brother Huang agreed to join forces with you?" Situ Nan asked curiously.
"The emperor asked me to stay in the palace, and when he thinks about it, he will pass it on to me." Shen Yunyou turned his head to look at Shen Yunyu beside him, watching her staring intently at the child in his arms, Shen Yunyou smiled slightly and said, "My son, his name is Shen Zhichen." β
Shen Yunyu pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment and swallowed the question in her heart.
"Since the imperial brother has allowed you to stay here, then I will go back first." Situ Nan took a step back and said to Shen Yunyou: "If you have something, you can also ask the eunuchs in the palace to come to my mansion to find me." β
