Zhao Kuangyin didn't speak, looking at Zhao Guangyi's calm gaze without flickering, it didn't look like he was lying. Xiao Tao would react like this, but he understood. The official prostitute refused to spit out before, but the night before he had already drawn out the defense map of the naval army in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so naturally there was no need to keep the secret anymore.

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi looked at each other for a long time. Zhao Guangyi only didn't have much expression, and his eyes sank bottomlessly. Zhao Kuangyin hooked his lips and snorted: "Brother Xian suddenly said this, but I don't know what to do." Originally, I planned to hand over some things to the Kaifeng Mansion of the virtuous brother in the near future, but since the virtuous brother has plans to go into battle to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, I still need to think about it, and I will give the virtuous brother an answer after thinking about it. ”

"Good. The younger brother waited for the royal brother's holy message. Zhao Guangyi replied lightly. After chatting with Zhao Kuangyin for a few more words, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate.

As soon as Zhao Guangyi walked with his front foot, Mrs. Hua Rui's back foot curled out from behind the screen. Zhao Kuangyin sat on the chair with his forehead propped up, muttered silently, and said to himself for a while: "What does he mean by this?" Why do you suddenly want to go to Nantang again? ”

Mrs. Hua Rui handed the prepared white fungus pear soup to Zhao Kuangyin's hand: "Your Majesty, the weather is getting hot day by day, and the heat hurts your body carefully." ”

Zhao Kuangyin took the soup, raised his eyes and asked Mrs. Hua Rui: "Tell me, why is he?" You also looked at it behind the screen just now. ”

Madame Blossom smacked her sideburns. He smiled lightly: "What King Jin and His Majesty said are military affairs. The concubine is a little woman, where do you know the mystery of this. It's just," Madame Blossom paused.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't wait to ask, "Just what?" ”

Madame Hua Rui smiled: "What the concubine said is not right, Your Majesty is not allowed to blame." "She doesn't dare to bear the charge of chaos in the harem, she is like a tiger, she has to make her words clear first. Siege and death.

"I told you to say it, and naturally I won't blame you. You are in the palace, even if you say something bad, it is inevitable. Zhao Kuangyin took a sip of pear soup and said.

"King Jin has always been calm and does not say anything, so even though the concubine saw King Jin behind the screen, she couldn't see King Jin's expression and intentions. But the concubine felt that the king of Jin was not a general, and the general needed to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield. Come back to be a marquis. King Jin is already on the throne above 10,000 people, so why risk that life? The concubine is a shallow learner, and she doesn't understand military affairs. The only thing I can think of. That is, King Jin must not really want to make a contribution, but take this opportunity to do something. Madame Blossom said eloquently, "If Your Majesty allows it, I am afraid that I will fall into his trap, but if I don't allow it, I am afraid that he will not be able to prevent him from thinking of other schemes." Your Majesty is in the light and in the dark, and Your Majesty is not easy to grasp, is it? ”

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help nodding frequently, this woman really doesn't have long hair and short knowledge. Zhao Kuangyin said: "You are right. That's where I'm in trouble. ”

Madame Blossom smiled lightly: "If you want me to say it, Your Majesty is worried about nothing." There's nothing difficult about that. ”

"Oh? How so? Zhao Kuangyin was full of interest.

"Didn't he say that Tao Niang knew about the Nantang defense map? Then let him fight. Tao Niang can draw a canvas defense map, which is a great thing for His Majesty. With the deployment map, what are you worried about attacking Nantang? If you only let Tao Niang draw a defense map and order other generals to fight, in case the defense map is fake, isn't it ruining the Song army? But if King Jin goes to fight, the risk will be much smaller, and Tao Niang will not give King Jin a fake defense map to let him kill himself, right? I see that King Jin has a deep affection for that peach girl, and no matter how ruthless Tao Niang is, he will not let King Jin die. This is one of them. Madame Blossom said slowly.

"That's right!" Zhao Kuangyin slapped his thigh, "Why didn't I think of this." "Guangyi should have been sent to fight Runzhou a long time ago, the defense map of Runzhou drawn by that prostitute, if Cao Bin took someone to fight, in case it was a fake defense map Cao Bin lost the battle, there was no burden on the prostitute except for worrying about the danger of the child; But if Guangyi takes someone to fight Runzhou, the battlefield sword has no eyes, and it is Guangyi who may die if he loses the battle, so can the woman bear to kill Guangyi?

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts turned again, "But you don't know." Military power is a terrible thing, and you must be wary of it in anyone's hands. Now Guangyi has two hearts, put the military power in his hands, in case he wins the battle in Runzhou, he takes the army back to Kaifeng, then I will be caught off guard. The strength of the forbidden army in the capital cannot be compared with that army, it is too disparity. Zhao Kuangyin's biggest concern is also this, he gave Zhao Guangyi the power of the army, in case he wants to rebel, he happens to have a ready-made army in his hand.

Although the power of the army was released with a glass of wine, the right to transfer troops and the right to lead troops were separated. That is, the power to mobilize troops is in the Privy Council, and the power to lead troops to fight is in the generals. Therefore, this separation of power is the best plan to reduce the rebellion of military generals with high achievements. This system is very applicable when there is no war. The troops stationed everywhere were not allowed to be dispatched by the generals without an order from the Privy Council. But now is the time of war, and as the saying goes, there will be no military orders abroad. This team is particularly dangerous, and can adjust the direction of the attack at any time without the control of the Privy Council. Therefore, if the military power of this team is given to Zhao Guangyi, it will really be a sheep's mouth. He didn't tell Mrs. Hua Rui about this, and he was afraid that she would not be able to understand the power balances in this family.

Madame Hua Rui's lips raised lightly: "Your Majesty is really a righteous gentleman, and everything is considered from the big picture. What kind of military power, forbidden army, counterattack, I feel dizzy when I hear it. But to make it seem like Chu Rui, it's all a simple matter. ”

"Simple?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why.

Madame Blossom's voice was very soft and low: "It's just a simple matter. Let the King of Jin go to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty, and if he loses, he will either die or become a prisoner of the Southern Tang Dynasty, won't it be solved for His Majesty? If it is better to win, the Southern Tang Dynasty will be pocketed by His Majesty, and the King of Jin, the concubine will say something ugly, life and death on the battlefield will change abruptly, who knows when he will suddenly die? "Madame Blossom bit the word "death" very hard.

Zhao Kuangyin was like an initiation, yes, Kaifeng is not easy to do, but on the battlefield, send a few henchmen, once you find out that something is wrong, don't you worry about cleaning him up? If you can't do it, you can come to the dark. Even Chu Rui knows how to use incense, although this method is a little indiscriminate, but it is also a means, and it really works at critical moments. What is not a victory, just win. Zhao Kuangyin took Mrs. Hua Rui into his arms, and his voice was tired: "You are really a stunner, I only regret that I only saw your beauty in the past, why didn't I see your wisdom?" After saying that, he was overjoyed, and repeatedly ordered people to give Mrs. Hua Rui a generous reward.

Zhao Guangyi came out of the palace and went directly to Lord Sun. Ever since he knew that Yin'er was in Zhao Kuangyin's hands, his heart hurt all the time as if he had been tied with a rope. Before, because he couldn't find the Jinkui Alliance, he planned to use Lord Sun to secretly arrange some troops of the forbidden army, and after robbing Xiao Tao from Dali Temple, he directly rushed into the palace to coerce Zhao Kuangyin into submission.

But now that Yin'er is in Zhao Kuangyin's hands, this plan obviously doesn't work. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was holding Yin'er in his hand, and no matter how many soldiers he bringed, he had to retreat obediently. At that time, as long as Zhao Kuangyin delays time, it will take less than three days for reinforcements to arrive in Kaifeng to rescue the driver, even if he is defending the city gate, it is difficult to say whether he can resist the reinforcements. When the time comes, don't talk about saving Yin'er and Xiao Tao, you will also be in a different place.

So if you want to do this, you can only rescue Yin'er first. But how can he save it? He didn't even know where the dungeons of the palace were, and he couldn't blatantly search for the location of the dungeons in the palace. Even Wang Jien, who he accepted as a confidant, had only heard of the dungeon, but had never been there.

He had already arranged for Wang Jien to secretly explore the detailed location of the dungeon and the deployment of troops in the palace, so he could arrange people to act. But Zhao Kuangyin's movements are not slow, and he has already added the guards of the city gate to his own henchmen. From this point of view, Zhao Kuangyin has already sensed his intentions. It's too dangerous. One is that Zhao Kuangyin will definitely strengthen the defense of the palace, and it will be even more difficult for him to prepare for the incident. Second, the city gate is not controlled by himself, and once there is a problem, he can't escape, and this plan is basically invalid.

In this way, we have to find another way. Since Zhao Kuangyin was suspicious, he simply hid out. If he is not in Kaifeng or hanging around in the palace, Zhao Kuangyin's defense will be lowered, and he can hurry up and let Wang Jien find Yin'er as soon as possible, which is the most important thing; In addition, he went to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, whether the defense map drawn by Xiao Tao was right or wrong, and he also had the opportunity to help make up for it and reduce the risk of Yin'er being injured by Zhao Kuangyin; The most important thing is that the military power is in his own hands, as soon as Yin'er is rescued, he will immediately lead the troops to counterattack Kaifeng and restrain Zhao Kuangyin. He can't wait any longer, and if he continues to be soft, not only Yin'er and Xiaotao, but also himself, his life is also worried.

Zhao Guangyi secretly discussed with Master Sun: "I went to the Southern Tang Dynasty this time and ordered Wang Jien to look for the child in the palace. If you find it, you need an adult's help, and I hope that an adult can help. ”

Master Sun nodded: "That's nature." Although he didn't know whose child it was, and Zhao Guangyi attached so much importance to it, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and paused and said, "It's just that Your Majesty is now suspicious of the defense of the city gate, not only has the soldiers guarding the city increased his henchmen, but also came to the forbidden army to inspect it several times." I pondered, he was afraid that he also wanted to find an opportunity to move the people in the forbidden army. It's just that it's not convenient to act immediately now, for fear of causing chaos. If you go to the Southern Tang Dynasty, I think he will definitely make some adjustments to the generals of the forbidden army in the next step. ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned: "I'm also worried about this." So I came to discuss with you. What if he transfers you out of the Forbidden Army or to a new commander and loses your old henchmen? Will it be inconvenient to act in the palace? ”
