Chapter 6 Preparations
The two disciples finally left.
In the study, Zhao Yuanming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at his daughter: "Crescent Yue'er, you were quite close to the prince in the past, why are you so cold today?" ”
There are some things that you can't say to your own father.
Zhao Xiyan smiled faintly: "He is the prince of the vassal king, and his status is noble." I should have stayed away. ”
Zhao Yuanming's brows moved, and he quickly stretched: "It makes sense to think so." In my opinion, Huo Yan is more suitable. The Zhao family is the right family, and it is a good family. Huo Yan grew up with you, and you are familiar with your temperament and temperament......"
Zhao Yuanming has always liked Huo Yan more.
It's a pity that I don't know my heart when I know people. Looking at Huo Yan, who was handsome and gentle, he was actually greedy for life and afraid of death, despicable and shameless.
"Dad," Zhao Xiyan suddenly interrupted Zhao Yuanming: "I don't marry, I will always be by my father's side in the future." ”
Zhao Yuanming looked at his daughter's calm face, and his heart suddenly ached.
Zhao Xiyan is delicate and sensitive, and rarely shows his true emotions in front of people. Nowadays, his mind is even more obscure. Even his own father can't see her true feelings.
How much unbearable did she experience in those ten years?
What did she do to get revenge?
He didn't get to the bottom of it, and pretended to smile lightly: "You said it yourself." Don't cry and shout to leave your dad in the future. ”
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and said softly: "Don't say this." Now it's more important that I tell my dad everything I know. ”
Zhao Yuanming restrained his smile and nodded.
"In ten days, the bad news of the emperor's death will spread all over the state and county. The rebel armies in various places rose up one after another, and Zhou Sui had 5,000 bandits under him, and he made a rebellion in Pingyuan County and killed the Pingyuan County guard. ”
"Zhou Sui was ambitious, and after seizing Pingyuan County, he raised troops to attack Zichuan County, recruited troops and horses, and established himself as king. After the number of troops reached 20,000, Zhou Sui aimed at Beihai County. ”
There are 13 states, 1003 counties, and more than 1,000 counties in the Great Jin Dynasty. The Great Jin Dynasty, which has been peaceful for more than 200 years, emphasizes literature and light military force, and has a total of 100,000 troops in the capital. Most of the garrisons in each state are about 10,000 people, and as for the counties, two or three thousand defenders are not bad.
Zhou Sui started with 5,000 bandits, and when he attacked Beihai County, his strength had reached 20,000. Even if there is no city guard to steal the city gate, it is not difficult for Zhou Sui to take down Beihai County.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanming's face was very ugly.
Zhao Xiyan's eyes flashed with coldness, and his voice sank: "...... To save Beihai County, there is a lot more to do. First of all, we must warn the plains county guard. If the plain county guard was prepared in advance, he would not die so easily in the hands of Zhou Sui. ”
"Over there in Zichuan County, there should also be a warning."
"There are four city gates in Beihai County, and the one who opened the city gate privately was Wang Tong, the official of the East Gate. Deal with this person as early as possible! ”
"Also, send a letter to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible. Taking advantage of Zhou Sui's lack of troops, he and this gang of rebels were eliminated in one fell swoop! ”
Zhao Yuanming: "......"
Zhao Yuanming looked at Zhao Xiyan with a complicated expression, and said after a while: "What you just said is not easy. ”
He is a world-famous Qingzhou Confucian with a wide range of friends. He has seen both the plain county guard and the Zichuan county guard, but what a Confucian student who teaches students says is afraid that he is not very convincing.
Wang Tong, the official of the city gate, is a military general of the fifth grade, and there are 500 city guards under his command. How to solve Wang Tong?
He knows a few court officials, but, how to get the court to send troops?
"It's not easy, but it's not impossible." Zhao Xiyan's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and said something.
Zhao Yuanming gasped: "If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster to destroy the family." ”
Zhao Xiyan said lightly: "If you don't do this, the Zhao family will be wiped out in a hundred days." ”
Zhao Yuanming: "......"
The daughter has indeed changed.
Under the indifferent tone, there is a rock-like perseverance and bold determination! There is also the ruthlessness of a girl who does not belong to this age!
Zhao Yuanming exhaled deeply and slowly: "I'll think about this matter for a few days." Even if you want to do it, you have to do it, don't touch it. ”
Zhao Xiyan's bright eyes looked at Zhao Yuanming: "I can simulate Zhou Sui's handwriting." Only I have seen his private seal, and I can make a fake one. I have to do this! ”
"Dad, I'm not an ordinary girl who can't help but be inexperienced. I have seen rebellious armies killing people, bloody battlefields, cannibalistic times, and a turbulent new dynasty. Although I have not killed anyone, there are many who have died because of me. These hands have long been stained with blood. ”
"God let me live again, not let me hide in the boudoir carefree. I have a blood feud, an enemy that must be killed. ”
"I told my dad all this because I didn't want to deceive my most trusted relatives. I know that my dad will definitely trust, understand and support me. ”
Zhao Yuanming was silent.
After a long time, Zhao Yuanming sighed: "What do you want to do, just let it go!" Daddy has your back! ”
Zhao Xiyan stretched his brows, and held his father's arm affectionately like he did when he was a child: "Dad, you are so good to me." ”
Zhao Yuanming smiled helplessly, and reached out to caress Zhao Xiyan's hair: "People are indispensable to do things." Songshi is shrewd and capable, if you have anything to do, just tell him to do it. The money of the house shall be spent only. ”
"Also, I'll go to your uncle right now and persuade him and his people to save more food."
Gold and silver in prosperous times, grain in troubled times.
This is always true.
Zhao Xiyan nodded slightly: "I'll go with my father." ”
……
