The daughter of a courtier, if she wants to check the prince's mansion, it is naturally not an easy task.

Su Junning wanted to attack King Chen's Mansion, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to poke out from the outside first.

"The servants of the palace, except for the eunuchs who were selected and arranged by the Internal Affairs Office, most of the maids and daughters-in-law bought them from outside, after the death of Princess Chen, the subordinates who served her were not sold, look for the people in the city, and inquire."

If you want to talk about the master's secrets, in addition to the master himself, if anyone knows a thing or two, he must be the closest slave around.

"Yes, slave and maid will do it." Jichun took the initiative to take over this job.

Su Junning nodded, then picked up the teacup again, pondering while drinking.

After a moment, he suddenly asked.

"This time, the king of Jin was captured by the Yanhu people, and the news said that the person who guarded the Qiangwu Pass with him was not a General Li?"

"Yes, the slave remembers clearly, that General Li died." Nan Xu nodded, and added, "This General Li is the cousin of Princess Jin and a member of the Li family of the Rongguo Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Su Junning's eyes flashed, and she had a little speculation in her heart.

"The rebels colluded with Yanhu, and the rebels were still General Zhao Zhongqi's adjutant generals, but in the last few passes, only Qiangwu Pass was breached, and General Zhao, who bore the brunt of the attack, was only seriously injured and was not breached, is it a little strange?"

Nan Xu frowned, "That's because Shen Gongzi is here." ”

"That being said, I always feel weird." Su Junning shook his head, "I always feel that this matter is going to King Jin, but I don't know anything about the battlefield, so I don't dare to make a judgment." ”

remembered that Shen Qianwei had mentioned it many times in the past, saying that King Jin was a good hand at leading soldiers, brave and strategic.

At that time, Emperor Jianning was able to raise troops and succeed in ascending to the throne, and the King of Jin fought a lot of battles for him, and his military achievements would not be faked there.

And this time the main force of Yanhu is the main attack on General Zhao and Shen Qianwei where Lingchong Pass is located, Yanhu troops attacking Qiangwu Pass should not be much, why Lingchong Pass has not been broken, but Qiangwu Pass was broken, the two guards of the pass, the prince was captured, and the general was killed.

If it weren't for King Jin's lack of ability, then there was another possibility that there might be ghosts on the side of Qiangwu Pass, but they were not caught, or rather, they were caught, but this kind of confidential news of the court was not said to the outside world.

Thinking of this, Su Juning immediately got up, took a map of the western territory off the shelf, and spread it out on the desk to look at.

The terrain of Qiangwu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is attacked, retreat, there is still a heavy guard, and it is impossible to drive straight into the territory of Beidi at all.

Seeing this, Su Juning felt more and more that what happened in the western realm was someone doing it again.

The Qiangwu Pass was broken, the King of Jin was captured, and the break of this pass will not cause too much loss to Beidi, and those who want to take into account the relationship between the two must be those who mind the existence of the King of Jin and do not want the land of Beidi to be invaded.

That's royalty.

King Chen, the Seven Princes.

These two people popped up in Su Junning's mind again.

It's just that just as the map was about to be put away, Nan Xu suddenly said on the side.

"Miss, don't worry too much, King Yu has set off from Yuzhou and rushed to the west to lead the troops, King Yu is also a person who can fight well, he was very prestigious in the early years, he will be fine."

"King Yu?" Su Juning's brows furrowed, and her pupils shrank, "King Yu, why did I forget King Yu!" ”

Nan Su was puzzled, "What did Miss say?" ”

As she asked, Su Juning immediately turned around and said while thinking.

"Soon after the emperor ascended the throne, King Yu has been ready to move, there is a heart of rebellion, this is what Qianwei told me, remember the gunpowder case at the beginning, although it is ultimately attributed to the Fuhuzhai mountain bandits, but in fact it is still related to the King of Yu, but because of the entry of the prince of Yu and the county lord into Beijing, it has been forgotten."

"Now, the people who have the ability to lead the troops in the court are gone, and the emperor has to send King Yu to the west, so that King Yu has the military power in his hands, after this battle, will the King of Yu be willing to return the military power?"

Listening to this analysis, Nan Xu was a little dizzy.

No, in the end, I still grasped the key points and said the more key content.

"Miss suspects that what happened in the west may have something to do with King Yu?"

"Yes." Su Junning nodded, took a deep breath, and narrowed his eyes, "But it's just a guess, for the time being, let's focus on the affairs of King Chen's Mansion." ”

I didn't understand why I was assassinated, and I didn't care about anything else.

It's just that the things she can think of, there may not be anything in the people in the West that can't be imagined.

In the tent, Shen Qianwei sat on the edge of the couch and watched Shen He finish drinking the medicine, then retreated, and the two of them spoke alone.

"King Yu has come from Yuzhou, if it is fast, it is estimated that it will be there in half a month, and the emperor is seeking skin with the tiger." Shen Qianwei clenched his fists and frowned.

Shen He coughed twice, and his face was not good-looking, "King Yu's dog thief, others don't know, Lao Tzu doesn't know his mind yet, he is here for military power, once he is in charge of power, first repel Yan Hu, and then I'm afraid he wants to rebel!" ”

Seeing his father coughing, Shen Qianwei got up and poured a glass of water and brought it over.

"The military report has entered Bianjing, I'm afraid there will be a response soon, the emperor can't just use those two children to contain King Yu, there must be a backhand, at least someone in the army must be able to contain him."

"General Zhao is seriously injured and can't stay at all, and I'm afraid that the other generals will be difficult to compete with King Yu." Shen He sighed.

After he said this, Shen Qianwei was silent for a while.

Seeing that no one answered, Shen He turned his head to look at his son, and saw Shen Qianwei rubbing the handle of the saber at his waist, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Shen He was about to open his mouth, when he suddenly thought of something, his eyes suddenly froze, and he immediately said.

"You kid don't think about it"

"The other generals are all old men in the court, very sleek, they may not be willing to offend King Yu directly, and share worries for the emperor, this is the western realm, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, even if the emperor has great ability, it is beyond the reach of the long whip."

Shen Qianwei opened his mouth and interrupted him directly.

And as soon as he said this, Shen He raised his voice.

"Who do you think you are, how many times have you made contributions, and you really think of yourself as a character? King Yu is a cunning old fox, you hairy boy wants to compete with him, even if you dare to rush forward, the emperor is willing to use you?! ”

For his loud voice, Shen Qianwei just lowered his eyes.

"Dad also knows that I am young and full of enthusiasm, since the emperor can use King Yu, there may not be any new tricks."

The veterans are certainly easy to use, but a group of old oilers may not have young people who want to come out and are willing to do it.

Shen Qianwei didn't have any intention of recommending himself, but if Emperor Jianning really had such expectations for him, he also felt that he might as well give it a try.

Once the king of Yu arrived in the west and held the military power, it was inevitable that Emperor Jianning would take care of the king of Yu after the war.

If you don't kill it, at least it will be weakened to the point where it is no longer a threat.

Therefore, between King Yu and Emperor Jianning, he must choose one, and this time he cannot be neutral.

Then, he chose Emperor Jianning.
