"Miss Cui doesn't have to be like this, I didn't do anything."

Ning Shu smiled faintly, Cui Qi's temperament was hot and straightforward, but she didn't expect her mind to be transparent.

After coming out of Yikun Palace, Cui Qi dared not speak out about the queen's chaotic mandarin ducks, and knew that the queen was crusading against her own rude behavior at King Yan's wedding that day.

When he was in a hurry, he saw Ning Shu nodding meaningfully at him from afar.

At that moment, she guessed that it was Ning Shu who mediated and explained the truth of the day to the queen.

Cui Qi arched his hand again, "Don't thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Xie will have a place for Cui Qi in the future, even if she speaks, Cui Qi will be duty-bound." ”

"Miss Cui, please take a seat." Princess Yan is just stupid, not stupid.

Seeing that Ning Shu did not show hostility towards Cui Qi, Princess Yan also kindly persuaded Cui Qi to sit down.

Cui Qi shook her head.

The sinister nature of the palace had been taught by his mother before.

Now that she has experienced it herself, she is shocked by everything she has heard and seen.

Cui Qi shook her head slightly, refusing Princess Yan's kindness, "My mother is still waiting for me at home, thank you Princess Yan for her kindness, Cui Qi will leave first." ”

Ning Shu didn't stay long, nodded slightly in response, and the two watched Cui Qi's back disappear from sight.

The warblers and swallows wandering in the imperial garden couldn't see the situation clearly, and took turns to congratulate Lin Shuangqing.

Ning Shu was rarely pure, and followed Princess Yan to wander casually.

Princess Yan asked Ning Shu from time to time for some tips on observing words and feelings, and Ning Shu also answered them one by one.

Princess Yan listened to the praise again and again, and her appreciation for Ning Shu in her heart increased a little more.

I don't know how long the two of them walked, far away from the hustle and bustle of the place, and there were fewer and fewer flowers and trees around.

Coincidentally, there were also two masters in front of them, who seemed to be trying their best to stay away from the lively circle centered on Lin Shuangqing and Concubine Chun.

Ning Shu and Princess Yan were slightly blessed, "See Concubine Xian Niangniang." ”

Concubine Xian was very surprised by the voice coming from behind her, she turned around slowly, and the moment she saw Ning Shu, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Standing next to Concubine Xian was Princess Zhun Kang Ren Qingxue.

Ren Qingxue also gave a blessing to Ning Shu and the others.

Concubine Xian said softly: "It turned out to be Princess Yan and Mrs. Xie." ”

"I happened to be passing by, and I didn't want to disturb the tranquility of Concubine Xian, so we left."

Ning Shu said goodbye to her body again, and hurriedly walked out of Concubine Xian's sight with Princess Yan.

Concubine Xian's soft eyes stared at the moon-white back, turned around and knocked on Ren Qingxue, who was also wearing a moon-white dress, smiled helplessly, and said to Ren Qingxue: "Let's go." ”

Ren Qingxue didn't look up at Ning Shu from beginning to end, and it wasn't until Concubine Xian took the lead in turning around and turned her back on everyone's eyes that she glanced at the direction in which Ning Shu disappeared.

……

King Yan was newly married to Yan'er, and the emperor was extremely happy.

The idea of disposing of the six princesses was put aside for the time being.

The court seemed to be harmonious, but Xie Yunshen knew that the emperor was actually anxious.

As expected, on this day, Gonggong Ji personally came to the Guogong Mansion to deliver an edict, saying that the emperor was summoned in the imperial study.

When Xie Yunyan rushed into the palace non-stop, he found that the imperial study was already full of people.

All the important ministers of the cabinet were present.

"Xie Aiqing is here."

Before Xie Yunshen asked for peace, the emperor said: "No courtesy, since everyone is together, I will say it directly." ”

"What do you think about the current situation at the Beiliang border?"

The tall man who went out of the same door as Xie Yunyan replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Beiliang's attack is just a cover, you must know that the praying mantis catches cicadas, and there is always a yellow finch standing behind him, and the Khitan people have already mobilized troops and horses to rush to the border, I am afraid that once the war in Beiliang is launched, the Khitan side will not sit still." ”

In the past 50 years, because a princess of Qi had married Beiliang and his relatives, the two countries reached an agreement on a truce for 50 years.

And in the past fifty years, or since a hundred years ago, the Khitan has never made peace with Qi Guoyan.

After fighting for so long, the Khitan has never been defeated, which shows that the Khitan has more experience in fighting with the Qi State than Beiliang.

In other words, the Khitan is even more important than the Northern Liang.

The emperor nodded, and another minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Lord Gao said is extremely true. However, Beiliang has repeatedly violated the borders of our Qi State, if you turn a blind eye, how will Qi State gain a foothold in the surrounding six countries in the future? ”

This is not only a question of a country's territorial expansion, but also a question of prestige.

If the little Bei Liang can make Qi Guo suffer a dumb loss, then the Qianguo, which is on a par with Qi Guo, will not take Qi Guo seriously.

The Emperor nodded again.

"Then according to what Aiqing said, what should I do?"

The soldiers and horses of the Qi State are now guarding the borders, except for the Lin family army guarding around Kyoto, the army that can be used is only 30,000 people.

However, with the example of King Duan's rebellion in front of him, the emperor was already on guard and did not dare to rashly transfer out of the Lin family's army.

This is also the emperor's difficulty.

I only heard the lord say again: "It is better to allocate a small number of men and horses from the Lin family army to support the Beiliang border first, and after a complete victory, you can also turn around and go to Khitan." ”

Xie Yunyan chuckled in his heart.

The civil servants who sit in Kyoto can only talk on paper.

He didn't think the Emperor would agree with the Lord.

Even Lord Gao sneered: "What Lord Yan said is simple, the army will rush from Kyoto to the border of Beiliang, it will take at least more than a month, and then that group of soldiers will face the army of Beiliang for a long time, doesn't Lord Yan think that this is a very easy thing?"

That's nothing, listen to Lord Yan's meaning, and ask the group of Lin family troops to go straight to the Khitan border to continue fighting.

It sounds like a big joke about giving away people's heads for a thousand miles.

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, pointed in the direction where Xie Yunyan was, and asked, "Xie Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"Weichen thinks that what the two adults said is reasonable, since Beiliang and Khitan should not be underestimated, it is better to deal with them at the same time and kill him by surprise."

Xie Yunyan said slowly.

His words fell for a long time, and both Master Gao and Lord Yan shook their heads silently in a ridiculous way.

Only the emperor's eyes flashed, and he looked up at Xie Yunyan: "It's a little difficult to deal with one side, what can you do to be hostile to the two countries?" ”

"Bluff!"

Xie Yunyan replied loudly.

"Weichen has the courage to offer a plan for His Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty can take a step to speak?"

The emperor's heart was beating violently, and he always felt that Xie Yunyan's eyes were full of a hint of cunning.

But he still ordered Gonggong Ji to take the others away, leaving Xie Yunyan alone.

"Tell me, do you kid have any thoughts on the hell again?"

The Emperor asked angrily.

Xie Yunyan smiled modestly, "Actually, Wei Chen thinks that His Majesty's decision is the best strategy. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you know what I think?" ”
