"A few days ago, the Ministry of War said that it had already made contact with the prince of southern Xinjiang, and the capture of Xichang was just around the corner. I guess it's a big win now. ”

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes flashed: "It's a big victory, but it's a big victory for the thief in the Dark Moon Pavilion." My army of 200,000 was defeated. ”

"Oh?" Luo Yeji seemed to be stunned, and his fingers holding the teacup paused: "How can this be?" ”

"It is said that it was the traitor of Ming Yu who found Ji Zhun to borrow soldiers. The Ningbei army killed the past directly from the back road. ”

"Then it's no wonder." Luo Yeji said lightly: "The northwest is Jizhun's territory, if he is also involved, the war will be a little difficult." ”

Empress Dowager Liu looked at Luo Yeji without blinking: "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

Empress Dowager Liu's gaze at the moment was sharp, obviously wanting to see something from Luo Yeji's face.

Helplessly, the man on the other side was always light and light, and the clouds in the noble sky were like clouds, and he couldn't see anything at all.

"Qin Zhe is the general you promoted, and now that he has suffered a defeat, how do you explain it?" Empress Dowager Liu's words gradually sharpened.

Luo Yeji didn't even look at her: "In what capacity did the Queen Mother ask this?" ”

Empress Dowager Liu choked up, and the duke, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Marching and fighting, military deployment can't be her turn to speak.

With selfishness, her relationship with Luo Yeji would never be her turn to talk to him in such a questioning tone.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Liu was immediately deflated, and the little momentum that had just risen from her bones ran away in an instant.

"The mourning family just wants to know, have you interfered in this?"

"Since the army was sent to southern Xinjiang, he has stayed in the palace every day, and has never gone anywhere except for the court on weekdays. The Queen Mother thinks how long can the hand be extended? ”

"In your opinion, Qin Zhe's ability can't even conquer Xichang?"

Luo Yeji pursed his lips and raised his eyes to look at Empress Dowager Liu: "The Empress Dowager is from Prince Yi's mansion, isn't this kind of question the most important thing you should ask Prince Yi?" ”

"The mourning family naturally asked." Empress Dowager Liu frowned, thinking of Lian Rui's answer, there was a trace of irritability in her heart.

"The mourners also want to hear what you have to say now. How did the mourning family hear that in addition to Qin Zhe, the people who disappeared on the battlefield also had the prince of An Ningfu? ”

Luo Yeji raised his eyebrows, waiting for the prince in peace, it turned out that this was the crux of the matter.

Empress Dowager Liu wants to hold Lian Rui on the throne, and the first thing she needs to grasp is military power.

finally took advantage of this war to earn 500,000 military power for his brother, but he didn't expect the Zhou army to be unfavorable, and even his nephew's life and death were unknown. Can she not be in a hurry?

As for Lian Rui, you don't need to listen to him to know.

The man probably didn't approve of what his mother did, so he didn't give her a good look.

She had no other way but to come to her to find out some news.

"Marching and fighting has been a dangerous thing since ancient times, and once you succeed, everyone can go missing."

These words not only failed to comfort Empress Dowager Liu, but made her even more anxious when she heard it.

If the Zhou army is defeated and Liu Ao dies again, won't the power she just got will disappear? How could she be willing?

"You just have to tell me the truth, is it possible for Liu Ao to live, and who will win the battle in Xichang?"

Luo Yeji's phoenix eyes narrowed: "The Queen Mother is asking about heavenly opportunities, did she come to the wrong place?" ”

"Luo Nightmark!" Empress Dowager Liu raised her eyebrows, and slapped her hand on the table.

Fingers with sharp armor scraped across the tabletop, and a series of piercing sounds sounded: "This is your attitude when talking to the mourning family?" ”

Luo Yeji took a sip of tea, and his anger at Empress Dowager Liu seemed to be gone.

After that, he put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and only a soft sound could be heard in the quiet room.

"Sending off!" He said.

Empress Dowager Liu's expression froze, and her expression changed several times on her well-maintained beautiful face, and finally turned into a kind smile.

"The mourning family has been worried about the war recently, and they are not in a good mood, so please don't be weird."

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to go around in circles like this anymore when she talks to Traces, you and I can have something to say directly."

A few years ago, in order to see Wen Qingyu, he deliberately provoked a war between Empress Dowager Liu and Lian Yin.

At that time, he deliberately leaked some of the hole cards in front of her.

This woman is about to know the taste of the marrow, and when she saw that Lian Yin gradually stabilized Chaogang, she wanted to help again.

Asking for someone, is this kind of attitude?

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes couldn't help flickering, and she finally sighed: "The mourning family wants to know if the Liu family is still brilliant again." ”

The corners of Luo Yejian's lips hooked, and Empress Dowager Liu still compromised in the end.

For the sake of power, in order to stand in front of people, there is nothing she can't bear?

Just like back then, a woman who can come out of the cold palace alive and get favored again can't be a simple person.

"The reason why Trace proposed that Qin Zhe lead the troops is actually the emperor's intention."

Empress Dowager Liu was stunned for a moment, and a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes: "Are you saying that the emperor actually wants to make a move against the Liu family?" ”

Luo Yeji pursed her lips, her rose-like lips slightly hooked, but she didn't say a word.

Some words are good to be in place, and there is no need to explain too much.

Whoever understands will naturally understand, he just needs to light the right fire at the right time.

"It is unlikely that General Liu and the Duke of Protector will disappear, most of them are now in Xichang City." Luo Nightmark began to ignite.

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes were cold: "So, the emperor ostensibly sent troops to the northwest, but in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity of the war to quietly destroy the Liu family?" ”

Her face gradually became gloomy: "No wonder, a small Xichang projectile land will actually lose 200,000 soldiers in my Great Zhou!" ”

With a "snap", Empress Dowager Liu grabbed the tea cup on the table and fell to the ground.

The water in the teacup splashed out with the fragments, and directly splashed on the queen mother's robe under her wide cloak.

I am fragrant with tea, on the carpet, and the corners of the robe rise with curling smoke. Empress Dowager Liu's hands gradually tightened.

Luo Yeji didn't even blink from the corner of his eye, as if he didn't see Empress Dowager Liu smashing the teacup.

After a long time, I heard a low and lazy voice and said indifferently: "It's a good tea, it's a pity." ”

When Empress Dowager Liu heard this, she only felt that the blue tendons on her forehead were jumping, and the corners of her oblique eyes outlined with heavy rouge glared at Luo Yeji.

"Why do you make the mourners believe your words?"

Luo Yeji still had a calm and breezy face: "The trace did not ask the Queen Mother to believe it, the truth is often more convincing than any language." ”

Empress Dowager Liu's face changed rapidly, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and her beautiful face gradually became gloomy.

Luo Yeji still held the teacup in his hand, and never spoke again.

He believed that Empress Dowager Liu's mind would not disappoint him. With her rich experience in the secrets of the harem for many years, she will definitely be able to come up with a conspiracy that even he will be killed.

"If it's ......" Empress Dowager Liu's voice paused: "Qin Zhe can come out of Xichang alive, does that mean it, it means ......?"

I believe that the Queen Mother must have her own thoughts. For things that didn't happen, Traces always didn't like to speculate too much. ”

"Qin Zhe has already buried 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Great Zhou, who will he deal with next?"

Luo Yeji only said four words lightly, and then the Empress Dowager Liu completely collapsed: "The power of heaven is unpredictable. ”

"Your Majesty, in order to destroy the Liu family, he actually wants to take the lives of 500,000 troops as a funeral, is he crazy!"

The sharp woman's voice immediately echoed over the study, and the Empress Dowager Liu, who thought she had spied on Tianwei, couldn't even care about the slightest bit of demeanor.

"There are millions of bear soldiers in the Great Zhou, what is 500,000?"

Empress Dowager Liu took a deep breath: "So, this time Da Zhou will be defeated, right?" ”

Luo Yeji pursed her lips and was silent, but a trace of fear gradually appeared on Empress Dowager Liu's face.

"Do you think after Qin Zhe's defeat will be the next person to be sent to the northwest?"

Luo Yeji raised his eyes slightly: "Looking at the entire Yanjing, how many people are qualified and capable of leading troops into the northwest?" ”

"He ......" Empress Dowager Liu's voice sank: "Did he even ignore the last bit of brotherhood?" ”

Who is that person, even if Luo Yeji doesn't say it, who can't think of it?

The person who is qualified and capable and makes Lian Yin look the most unpleasant, who else is there besides Lian Rui?

Luo Yeji looked away, and the smile in his eyes was slightly mocking.

Empress Dowager Liu is selfish and doesn't want to see Lian Yin in a high position, she accuses Lian Yin here of ignoring brotherhood, how good can she be?

Isn't what she is doing now pushing the brotherhood of Lian Yin and Lian Rui into the abyss little by little?

I heard that those days of the Chinese New Year. In order to reshape the glory of the Liu family, An Ninghou has done a lot of things behind the scenes.

If it weren't for Lian Rui's extreme non-cooperation, it would be really uncertain who the person sitting on the dragon chair would be now.

When she did these things, did she ever think that Lian Yin was also her son?

"The mourning family begs King Rong to think of a way not to let Arrow lead the troops into battle."

"The emperor's temperament, the queen mother should know more than the trace, if you want to change the emperor's mind, the queen mother must have a better reason."

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes flashed: "Do you want to find someone more suitable than Arrow?" The mourners know. ”

……

For most of the cellhouses in this world, there is practically no difference between day and night.

There was a lingering smell of rot and rot in the cell, and although there were windows open on the walls of the cells, the light that could actually be cast into the cells was very limited.

So, torches were lit on the walls of the cells all year round.

Unlike all the prison cells in the world, the cell Qin Zhe is in now is simply a paradise in a prison cell.

First of all, it is very bright because the windows are wide open, so it is easy for outside light to enter.

Then, it was spacious, almost the size of five ordinary cells.

Finally, the furnishings inside it are very comfortable. Although there is nothing flashy, it is served in a clean and tidy manner.

In such a room, it is not so much a prison sentence as a guest.

But he was clearly in prison again, because he couldn't go anywhere but in this room.

"Whoa." The voice came in, Qin Zhe just turned his head slightly to glance at it, and then quickly looked away.

He knew it was the sound of the lock tied to the room being opened.

"You're here!"
