Chapter 141: Sleepy and Sorrowful City
If his previous guess was correct, Yu Wenye's last marriage contract was agreed with Princess Crescent, that is, the eldest daughter of the queen in front of him, then now, in the eyes of this queen, isn't he a sinner who destroys his daughter's happiness?
What's more, there is also the emperor's move to return to the official office with himself.
But she obviously didn't have a trace of anger.
If there is really no anger, why do you mention Yu Wenye at this time?
Shang Ruyi's heart became a mess, and he hesitated for a long time before he spoke cautiously and said, "Marriage, sometimes, may not be satisfactory...... Material. β
This time, Empress Jiang covered her mouth and chuckled.
She said, "Sure enough, it's a lot of fun to talk to you." β
Shang Ruyi lowered his head and said softly: "It is also an honor for the courtiers to be relieved for the queen at such a time. β
Empress Jiang said: "Wait until this is the case-if you really can, then the palace should be closer to Young Lady Yuwen." β
At the mention of this, Shang Ruyi's mood immediately became tense again.
She cautiously asked, "The courtiers dare to ask the queen mother, how is the war outside?" Are reinforcements coming? β
At the mention of this, Empress Jiang's eyes suddenly darkened.
She didn't seem to be willing to mention this, but if she was willing to do so, she was still willing to accept it, and sighed and said, "Reinforcements haven't arrived yet." β
"Then we're nowβ"
"Sleepy and sorrowful."
Sitting in the city of sorrow, these four words, only to say that the heart of Shang Ruyi is like falling into an ice cave.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Then, the generals around His Majesty, are there no ways?" β
Empress Jiang raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at her with a little scrutiny, a little playfulness, and said: "This palace only saw the bravery of the young lady Yuwen who shot the Turkic soldiers outside the city before, but she didn't know that the young lady also had the enthusiasm to care about the battle before the battle. β
Shang Ruyi reluctantly smiled and said: "Life and death are at stake, even if you are a courtier, you want to share your worries for the emperor and the queen." β
Empress Jiang smiled, and then said, "This, I'm afraid you shouldn't ask this palace." β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's because I don't want to listen to the fights and killings in their mouths that I hid out and came to see you in your room."
ββ¦β¦ Oh. β
"Still,"
Empress Jiang said: "Before leaving the palace, I seemed to hear General Wang talking to the emperor. β
Shang Ruyi hurriedly looked up at her - Wang Shaoji?
This person, who only knows how to bend the law for bribes and bend the law on weekdays, has done all the evil things, at this time, what good plan can he have?
I only heard Queen Jiang say: "The palace listens to him, there is not much food in this Yanmen City, but the emperor has brought a lot of people and horses, and in just a few days, all the food will be consumed, and at that time, it will really be trapped here." β
ββ¦β¦β
"All, he wants to take advantage of the fact that there is still grain and grass in the city, as well as good horses and horses, to find an opportunity to open the city gate, and the Praetorian Guards will select the elite to protect the emperor from the siege. As long as you can break through the siege of Yanmen City by the Turkic soldiers, you canβ"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi almost bounced off the bed, but fortunately, the injury on her back stopped her movements, but she still hurriedly said: "This, this must not be!" β
Empress Jiang didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and looked at her with some surprise: "What's wrong?" β
Shang Ruyi probably also realized that he was too excited, so he was busy calming down, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Back to Niangniang's words, according to the foolish opinion of the courtiers, General Wang's plan is absolutely impossible." β
"Oh?"
Empress Jiang said: "Why? β
Shang Ruyi thought about the wording again, and then said very cautiously: "Although we stayed in Yanmen Chengzhong, we were trapped in the city, although there was not much food in the city, and it could not be consumed for a few days, but what the soldiers of our Great Cause Dynasty were best at was defending the city." β
Empress Jiang said: "Really? β
Shang Ruyi said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it's not just our Daye Dynasty, since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has mostly appeared in a defensive posture in the confrontation with the northern barbarians, we have the Great Wall, there are cities, and even, as long as there is a wall, we can block the invasion of the grassland cavalry." β
Empress Jiang thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the truth." β
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "If we follow General Wang's plan, it will be to give up our strengths." β
"However, General Wang also said that staying here is also a sleepy city, so it is better to fight."
"If you fight, you need to have a chance of winning to fight; General Wang's proposal was to let the Praetorian Guards escort the emperor to break out of the encirclement, in this case, there is no more than seventy percent chance of winning, and the emperor should not be allowed to take risks. β
ββ¦β¦β
"What's more, the courtiers just said that our strength is to defend the city, and the Turkic soldiers, isn't their strength to be cavalry charging and killing?"
ββ¦β¦β
"We give up our strengths and weaknesses, and the results speak for themselves."
Empress Jiang looked at her, her eyes were a little surprised, and she said: "Young Lady Yuwen's words are in line with the words of the guards of Yanmen City to His Majesty. β
"Really? So, will Your Majesty accept it? β
"Young lady,"
Empress Jiang smiled faintly and said: "Whether Your Majesty accepts advice or not is Your Majesty's business, as a courtier, you really shouldn't spy on Your Majesty's thoughts." β
Shang Ruyi was taken aback, only then did he realize that he had said too many words in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The courtiers have trespassed, and I hope that the mother will forgive her sins." β
Empress Jiang said: "Actually, this palace has its own reasons for listening to what you say-it's just that Your Majesty has never liked to listen to people, and even if you listen, you can't listen to it." β
ββ¦β¦β
"So, the key is, who can make His Majesty listen to him."
Shang Ruyi's face froze slightly.
The words of this queen mother mean something.
She cautiously raised her head and looked at the other party again, but when she saw that Empress Jiang only smiled indifferently, she stood up and said softly: "You take care of your injuries, this palace will go first." β
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Niangniang." β
Seeing that she had already walked to the door, Shang Ruyi didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but Queen Jiang suddenly stopped again, looked back at her with a smile and said, "Young Mrs. Yuwen, since you have already asked if the reinforcements are coming, why don't you ask, the team behind you, have they come?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Shang Ruyi's breath sank.
Facing the smiling eyes again, although he looked at himself gently, he seemed to have a bit of scrutiny in the gentleness.
Shang Ruyi subconsciously held his breath.
After thinking about it again and again, and thinking through all the words, she smiled and said softly: "If that group of people can come, it will naturally be a help, but he-they still have to protect Her Royal Highness." The war is dangerous, the sword has no eyes, and Her Royal Highness the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, which must not be damaged. β
ββ¦β¦β
"So it's better not to come."
