Chapter 164: The Empress's Pride

July 18, Great Xia Palace.

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake not far from the Wentai Palace, Xia Ao's head rested on Gu Ruoyun's smooth and tender thighs, Tao Yushu gently massaged on the left side, and sang in a coquettish voice on the right side.

At the same time, there are more than a dozen palace maids on the lake around the pavilion to stir up the moist cool breeze to blow slowly, driving away the heat for the people in the pavilion.

In addition, there are concubines such as Dongfang Yu and Li Hanxiang who bring cold and delicious fruits or wine from time to time to feed.

Such a nourishing life, so happy!

Since completing the task of Dajin, Tao Yushu and the concubine who have died have also been directly promoted by four levels, from the seventh-rank nobleman to the third-class Zhaoyi.

As for Li Hanxiang, who once sought revenge on Wanyan because of personal grudges, he was demoted to Zhaoyi, and he was very honest in the past few months after the end of the confinement, and he didn't make any trouble.

Now, there are one hundred and thirty-seven concubines in Xia Ao's harem, but most of them are just third-class nobles, waiters, and ladies, and basically have no chance to be pampered alone, let alone accompany Xia Ao to play or go on patrol.

As for the third-class Jieyu, beauties, and talents, there are more than a dozen people in total, and only such concubines are qualified to accompany them out.

Among them, Xia Ao is especially loved, mainly poppy beauty Yu Die, as well as Liu Zhiyun, Shangguan Xuan, Yan Caixi and other Jieyu.

Finally, there are third-class concubines, among which there is no one at the level of concubine, and there are six people in the two levels of concubine and Zhaoyi.

The highest status among the six is naturally Concubine Wanguan Wan'er, and Concubine Dongfang Yu.

After the two, there are Gu Ruoyun, Li Hanxiang, Tao Yushu, Wanyan Xiaoyao and other four Zhaoyi.

And among all the concubines, the most special status is undoubtedly Shangguan Wan'er.

Because she is the only concubine among all the concubines who has real position and real power, she is not only the imperial secretary of the imperial book and the female officials in charge of the imperial library, but also the controller of the harem palace maids, far from being comparable to the jade concubine Dongfang Yu, let alone other concubines.

Therefore, almost all the concubines stayed away from Shangguan Wan'er, and none of them dared to offend.

No, as Shangguan Wan'er's figure appeared in the distance, the eyes of several concubines in the field flashed with different colors, and their manners were also a lot more solemn and regular.

It didn't take long for Shangguan Wan'er to come with money.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Yunbo Dynasty have arrived, and the envoy who leads the team is Princess Mu Qianyue, the princess of Yunbo, she wants to meet you immediately, you see?"

Hearing the name "Mu Tianyue", Tao Yushu, Gu Ruoyun and other concubines all had flashes in their eyes, and then stared at Xia Ao with a wink.

They naturally know the name of Yunbo's first beauty, and they also know the preferences of their majesty.

Since this Mu Tianyue chose to lead the team to come to Great Xia at this time, most of them didn't think about going back.

And with His Majesty's temperament, I am afraid that it is impossible to let Mu Tianyue leave.

I just don't know, will His Majesty fulfill Mu Qianyue's request?

Xia Ao opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Saving the country with her body, this shepherd is worthy of the identity of the eldest princess."

"Still, she thought it was too simple."

"Let the Ministry of Rites entertain her, and hang her first."

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er claimed to be yes lightly, her expression was as usual, and she seemed to have guessed Xia Ao's attitude a long time ago.

On the contrary, the other concubines were a little surprised, as if they didn't expect this majesty to be able to "sit still".

"Ronglin Front, what is the current situation, can there be further changes?"

Hearing Xia Ao's question, Shangguan Wan'er shook her head.

"Back to Your Majesty, at present, the Qingqiu army has no movement to attack on a large scale, and they are still testing with a small force, it seems that they should want to find the loophole in the Yunbo defense line."

"However, Yang Jun of the Pillar Kingdom on Yunbo has been in battle for a long time and has extremely rich battlefield experience, so it is unlikely that there will be a big mistake."

"So, there should be something else behind this!"

Xia Ao smiled and agreed: "You are right, what the Qingqiu Dynasty is most worried about must be that my Great Xia will send troops to grab the fruits of its victory." ”

"So time is important to them. The sooner they take Yunbo, the sooner they can rest assured and avoid accidents. ”

"In this case, they can break through the defense line by attacking with their own strength, how can they waste time in vain?"

Speaking of this, Xia Ao paused slightly, and then asked, "What did Guo Jia say there?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Guo Shangshu believes that the Qingqiu Dynasty should want to start from within Yunbo, and most of them are sure of it."

Xia Ao squinted and pondered for a while, then smiled calmly.

"Yang Jun has a very high prestige in the Yunbo army, and his loyalty to Yunbo is undoubted, and it is unrealistic to want to start from him."

"If it is me, it is undoubtedly the best choice to start from the aspect of Yunbo's military supervision system."

"Tell Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Gao, let them pay close attention to the movements of the supervising army in the Yunbo camp with the bad guys on the front line and the eyes of the net, and see if they can find anything."

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er owed, and then asked softly: "Your Majesty, if you find out, do you want to warn Yang Jun?" ”

Xia Ao touched his chin and thought for a while, and then made a decision.

"If it is critical, give a direct warning. But if there is still a certain amount of time, don't act rashly first, and explain it through Mu Tianyue's side. ”

"Since she begged to come to the door, and I can't agree to help, it must be a little more expressive. In addition, it will also be of some help to the future of the land of clouds. ”

"Yes! The concubine understood! ”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded obediently.

Xia Ao bowed slightly, and then changed the topic.

"What about the Davidic Dynasty?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the David Dynasty is already overstretched under the attack of the north and south of Great Chu and Great Liang."

"Now, David has lost more than sixty percent of his territory, although this has a lot to do with David's strategy of retreating along the whole line and shrinking the defensive circle, but it can also be seen that David's army is low in combat effectiveness."

"At present, the vanguard of the Chu army and the Liang army has been in contact with David's defensive circle, and the most critical battle may start in three to five days!"

Shangguan Wan'er first introduced the overall situation of the David Dynasty, and then shifted the topic to the David Dynasty.

"For Li Xiangzhi's mention, Emperor Wei Yong of David was very angry, and he had to save one person among Concubine Lan and Ning Meiren."

But Li Xiang never let go, and although Wei Yong was very angry, he was helpless. Yesterday, when the Liang Pioneer almost broke through the defense line of David Huyanling, Wei Yongxu was frightened, so he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Li Xiangzhi's proposal. ”

"Before sunrise today, the Peng-class flying armor vehicle sent to pick up people from the imperial capital of David and the Jinpeng battleship that was secretly guarding have already set off and will arrive before evening."

After listening to Shangguan Wan'er's introduction, Xia Ao shrugged his shoulders and smiled inexplicably.

As an emperor, one of the strongest traits is naturally the desire to conquer.

What other emperors liked and wanted to conquer, he did not know, and he was not interested.

He only knows what he wants, and he wants to conquer and occupy the best things in the world!

The supreme and dictatorial authority of the world is like this, the country is like this, the resources are like it, and the beauty is the same!

……

Qingqiu Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, Princess Mu Tianyue has arrived in the Great Xia Imperial Capital."

Jiang Zhan walked quickly into the hall and said solemnly towards Yan Chuyun.

After the words fell, Jiang Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, are we really not going to assassinate Mu Qianyue?" If you don't take action, I'm afraid you won't have a chance! ”

Yan Chuyun glanced at Jiang Zhan and said indifferently: "What's the use of killing her?" Do you think that Emperor of Great Xia is really a faint monarch who is faint? ”

Jiang Zhan couldn't help but pause, and then said unwillingly: "But Your Majesty, according to the temperament of the Great Xia Emperor, Mu Tianyue is at least a good stepping stone, and she is very likely to say that the Great Xia Emperor will send troops!" ”

"It seems that you still don't understand."

Yan Chuyun shook his head, a look of disappointment in his eyes.

"On the Ronglin front, how are you preparing?"

Jiang Zhan still couldn't figure out what Yan Chuyun meant, but he didn't dare to say more, and honestly bowed his head in response.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's almost done, and it won't take more than five days at most!"

"Five days... It seems that it is time for a showdown with Great Xia......"

Yan Chuyun muttered softly, thoughtfully.

In fact, through the peace of Great Xia since the great changes, Yan Chuyun has always had a feeling that the Emperor of Great Xia and her thoughts are likely to coincide, and the two may have reached a tacit understanding invisibly.

As time went by, this feeling of hers deepened, which made her sense of the Xia Emperor also change.

The height is unbearable, as an emperor, it is an indescribable feeling to have such a hidden confidant who has never met, but has a tacit understanding.

"Your Majesty means to immediately send envoys to Great Xia, and agree to divide the districts first to get rid of the stumbling blocks, and then fight the male and female?"

Jiang Zhan raised his head and asked cautiously.

"Yes, it's time."

Yan Chuyun bowed slightly.

"If that's the case, it doesn't seem to matter whether you kill Mu Tianyue or not."

Jiang Zhan said thoughtfully, but then he showed hesitation.

"It's just that, Your Majesty, we have a precedent of breaking the Five Dynasties Covenant, and that Great Xia... Can you trust us? ”

"Yes."

Yan Chuyun stood up, pacing with his chin held high and his hands down, with a different kind of empress majesty.

Seeing Yan Chuyun nodding in affirmation without hesitation, Jiang Zhan was a little stunned.

"Why is Your Majesty so sure?"

"Because I believe that the Great Xia Emperor is not a mediocre person. I believe that he and I, even if they are not the same kind of people, at least have the same mind and vision in this matter! ”

Yan Chuyun said loudly, the words were sonorous, like a crisp sound of jade.

Her bright and proud eyes were also full of certainty and confidence.

"Only then is he worthy to be my opponent! Compete with me for the whole Tiannan! ”

Listening to Yan Chuyun's high-pitched and deafening words, Jiang Zhan lost his mind for a while, only to feel that his mind was like the undulating surface of the river, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

This is the empress who impressed his heart, her unparalleled in the world, the self-confidence of Zhizhu in her hands, and the domineering spirit that looks down on all beings!

He also firmly believed that the empress would inevitably be able to dominate the entire Tiannan, and even lead the Qingqiu Dynasty to a broader world!
