The Queen Mother returned to the Penglai Palace, and first ordered Xu Xiuneng to meet with He Zhan, and Eleven Niang knew that she must be discussing the affairs of Silla and Dongying, and maybe she would be consulted by the Queen Mother later, she didn't have much worry, but she was inevitably secretly thinking about the response, so when she was waiting for orders outside the palace, she was extraordinarily quiet.

Xie Ying, another waiter, was full of grievances and depression, all kinds of moods, how can the word more than chagrin be described?

She worked tirelessly to thread the needle in the middle, and said all the good things for Dongyingguo, and it was easy for the Queen Mother to become dissatisfied with Silla, looking at that look, it seemed that she had already made up her mind to help Dongying suppress Silla, if so, of course, it would promote the marriage of Liu Yishui and Awata Ma, and everything was almost a matter of course.

But it was completely disturbed by Liu Yishui's words, and what made Xie Ying depressed was that she couldn't even understand why the Queen Mother suddenly changed her mind, was it because the Japanese envoy didn't understand what the Qin-Jin alliance was? There is also that Cornida horse raising, it's really useless, Liu Yishui can't look down on his family background, can't he break Liu Yishui's identity as a concubine, wouldn't this become a "good match", and Liu Yishui can't refute it!

But when things get to such a situation, it is no longer possible to bring down the matter of harmony, but we have to find a way to persuade the empress dowager to force Silla to submit and allow the Japanese army to enter the border of Silla.

Thinking so, Xie Ying accused Eleven Niang: "Eleventh sister, it seems that today is too reckless, even if you are ashamed that the envoy sent Zhou is not self-sufficient, but in the end, it is a matter of diplomatic relations, and you shouldn't say it so provocatively." ”

Eleven Niang didn't plan to reason with Xie Ying at all, because she saw Dou Fu walking towards this side in a hurry......

The Pingkangfang incident happened!

It didn't take long for Gao Yuxiang to send He Zhan and Xu Xiuneng out, Xie Ying was anxious to be entrusted by Jin Shou Changdan, and walked into the inner hall without waiting for the edict, but He Zhan openly came over to talk to Eleven Niang: "There is no need to worry about today's affairs, the people of Dongying are really rampant!" I was in a hurry to get out of the palace at this time, there was a big case in Pingkangfang, and the Queen Mother ordered me to be interrogated. ”

When Eleven Niang saw him smiling, she knew that everything was going well in Pingkangfang, and her heart fell steadily into her chest.

He Zhan lowered his voice again: "Dongying's matter, Xu Sheren feels more righteous indignation than me, eleventh sister, you can also be regarded as provoking a peach blossom again." Hehe smiled and turned around, leaving Eleven Niang staring dryly behind him, is there such a "revenge", good for you Fourteen Lang.

Seeing that Dou Fu'an also came out miserably, Ah Lu then signaled Eleven Niang to enter, and when he turned the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Embroidery Screen that was used as a barrier, Eleven Niang heard the Queen Mother's sigh: "This is really a wave of unsettled waves!" ”

Sure enough, he asked Shi Niang: "What do you think of the advice of the Dongying envoy?" ”

Eleven Niang knew that the Queen Mother's question had nothing to do with her marriage, so she did not hesitate to respond: "The Dongying clan has always been afraid of the strong and bullying the weak, hypocritical and deceitful, and cannot be trusted. ”

Her words fell, but Xie Ying smiled: "It seems that the eleventh sister is really ashamed of that Su Tianjun, but this is indeed a bit excessive." ”

Eleven Niang still does not argue with Xie Ying, but on the matter: "Dongying's attempt is very obvious, nothing more than to be opportunistic, when the Baijiangkou naval battle, my Great Zhou will burn all the Dongying warships, drown tens of thousands of Japanese troops, completely suppress Dongying's arrogance, Silla because of that battle also banned the sea, so Dongying wants to go to the Zhou realm, can only change to the ocean, because this route is far away from the coast, the risk doubles, almost every time the envoy comes to Zhou, there are ships sinking and people die, Dongying is unable to organize warships to attack Silla, this time is to instigate our country and Silla to lose peace, Dongying will be able to enjoy the benefits of fishermen. ”

Xie Ying was unconvinced: "But if you really form an alliance with Dongying, the Dongying army will be able to attack the realm of Pan Rebellion." ”

"Silla will not agree to let the Dongying army enter the border under any circumstances, if the Great Zhou is really persecuted, wouldn't it be to push Silla to the side of Northern Liao and Pan Rebellion?"

This is slightly the same as what He Zhan and Xu Xiuneng saw, the Queen Mother asked He Zhan just now, and He Zhan also directly broke the treacherous plan of the Dongying people, in order to prevent the Queen Mother from neglecting the plan, so he was entangled in the fact that the monarch of Dongying can have a national letter, and this kind of military aid and military politics cannot be achieved by verbal.

Eleven Niang said again: "After the battle of Baijiangkou, Dongying was weak for a while, and he was deeply afraid that the Great Zhou and Silla would take advantage of the victory to attack, even if the ocean was difficult and dangerous, he also frequently sent envoys to reconcile with the Great Zhou. ”

The Zhou people are quite heavy on the appearance of people, especially like the literary and merry, in order to flatter, of course, we must pay attention to the selection of the ministers, for fear that if the selection of people is improper, the ministers will lead the Zhou people to be disgusted.

"But in the past few decades, Dongying's national strength has gradually recovered, and seeing the turmoil in the Great Zhou, I thought that there was an opportunity, and there were many provocations in Dongying's four madness, this time this Jin Shoujun was repeatedly offended, and many envoys judged the two, which shows that this clan once had a posture but was not a disguise, but in fact, the ambition has not died, so Eleven thinks that Dongying is not worth trusting at all."

The Queen Mother had already woken up under the reminder of He Zhan and Xu Xiuneng, and asked Eleven Niang again just to test her knowledge, and at this time she was extremely satisfied with Eleven Niang's response, and glanced at Xie Ying with disgust: "I have to humbly ask your Eleventh Sister for advice, don't be instigated to use just because you heard one or two good words." ”

Although Xie Ying was not convinced, she thought that in her time and space, the Japanese really showed their fangs after a thousand years, burned and looted, where was there still the slightest demeanor of a humble gentleman, it was indeed not trustworthy, and the alliance with it was more like conspiring with a tiger, so she was completely silent, and said in her heart that since these ancients had realized that little Japan was not a good bird, why didn't they simply occupy the island country and allow him to send envoys to the court? Liu Yishui was just annoyed and angry because he was worried about Little Japan, and what he said was just a coincidence in the contract, but Liu Yishui had He Zhan and Xu Xiu to help, but he was weak, so he didn't have the upper hand.

Thinking about it this way, He Zhan's gang is not worth being surprised, so why did Xu Xiuneng have such a fierce reaction?

Xie Ying's eyes purred, and her mind opened up again.

The Queen Mother told Shi Niang about the accident that Dou Fu'an had known about earlier: "Seeing that I had a civil strife in the Great Zhou, the plotters were far from being a country in Dongying, and the ambition of the new Turk monarch was also revealed. ”

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not prohibit nobles and rangers from wearing swords, the bow and arrow, especially the more lethal crossbow arrows, have always been strictly controlled, and the private workshops are not allowed to be privately made, and once discovered, they are punished for rebellion, and ordinary aristocratic private soldiers are not allowed to privately hide crossbows / bows, even if they have the dignitaries of the pro-soldiers, the armor crossbows / bows are also uniformly distributed by the military government, and the arrows are all recognized, just to prevent assassinations, of course, although the imperial court has a ban, it is difficult to really prevent ill-intentioned people from secretly making bows and crossbows, but it is not ordinary people who can make them privately, Those merchants actually hid bows and crossbows, which shows that their identities are certainly not as ordinary as they seem.

Of course, Eleven Niang knew that those merchants were really Pan's inter-ministerial tenants, and they had been lurking in the national capital for a long time, and they were like frightened birds, and it was natural to have sharp weapons such as bows and crossbows.

The Queen Mother frowned: "Who is the mastermind of the assassination, I have handed over to He Chengtai to be responsible for the investigation, but the new Turks still need to be appeased, and now many envoys are gathered in Chang'an, if the new Turks use the old to make trouble, wouldn't it damage the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" ”

If Qi Bi let not give up, in the eyes of Dongyingguo and others, he will be more and more convinced that the Great Zhou is already weak, which is something that Empress Dowager Wei will never allow.

"Eleven thinks that it should be a combination of grace and power to the new Turks." Eleven Niang did not approve of blindly appeasing the new Turks, the new Turks were not inferior to the previous visit, in fact, there was no temptation, the more the Great Zhou court showed weakness, but I was afraid that the more it would help it to be arrogant.

The Queen Mother bowed: "This requires a steady person to mediate, and we must master the proportions, only for a while, I can only think of Xue Xuanzhi, Yiyi will go out of the palace and visit Xuanzhi's condition on my behalf, if there is no major problem, I will mention these accidents and see what Xuanzhi has to say." ”

In fact, it is to let Eleven Niang tell Lu Li that if the condition is not urgent, it is time to take a leave of duty.

and gave another instruct to Eleven Niang.

And said that Eleven Niang was ordered to leave the palace, and Xie Ying immediately expressed her jealousy to the Queen Mother's special instructions: "My aunt and grandmother really favored the eleventh sister, and even asked the eleventh sister to listen to the conversation between Xue Sheren and the new envoy, and Ying'er also wanted to see it." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at this younger who only knew how to be coquettish and behaved, and the corners of her lips suddenly pulled into a meaningful smile: "Ying'er should have known what the Corn Field Horse was planning, right?" But they kept me in the dark. ”

Xie Ying's heart sank, and she subconsciously wanted to justify, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back dangerously, and changed it to a sneer: "It's Ying'er's short-sightedness, just looking at Awata-kun, who is also polite and talented, and he behaves so sincerely, he directly admires the unparalleled talent of the eleventh sister, Ying'er only thinks it's a good fate...... Yuan also hesitated to inform his aunt and grandmother, but he was worried that the eleventh sister had not forgotten Xiao Jiulang and refused to marry someone else, misunderstanding that Ying'er was behind her back. ”

How could the Queen Mother not know the moisture in these words? But he didn't debunk it, and sighed: "You, although you are a little smart, your knowledge is very different from Yiyi, and it is not suitable to participate in military and political affairs at this time, now is an eventful autumn, so you don't want to make trouble with me again." ”

Xie Ying smiled flatteringly again: "Ying'er knows that she is only a shallow learner, how dare she compete with the eleventh sister?" The reason why Ying'er also wanted to listen to the talks between Xue Sheren and the new envoy was just because she was curious, where did she dare to participate in military affairs? ”

"What kind of new envoy, the new envoy is just my Great Zhou vassal, what qualifications do you have to send envoys? Pay attention to your words. The Queen Mother was particularly dissatisfied with Xie Ying's title to Qi Birang.

Xie Ying immediately said, but secretly slandered: What kind of subordinate, the new monarch didn't even prepare a tribute this time, but asked Da Zhou to give the New Year's coin, is there such a vassal? Webster is nothing more than self-deception!

For a while, I thought, no, if the Queen Mother intends to make Liu Yishui the princess of Jin, how can she be willing to openly participate in government affairs? According to the Queen Mother's precautions against the King of Jin, how can she tolerate the future Princess Jin is far-sighted, it seems that she is crooked this time, so that the Queen Mother misunderstands that she is just a little clever, yes, she must not behave too well, and she should hide it.

So Xie Ying's frustration was swept away, and the endless funny words and flattery around the Queen Mother made the Queen Mother laugh, and instead used a precious artifact in the tribute as a reward.

Xie Ying was even more sure that she had figured out Empress Dowager Wei's mind this time, and she was very complacent.
