The queen mother sent the messenger is Wang Yuanzhi, he returned to Chang'an before the chaos in Yunzhou, and now he is officially appointed as the left pickup, to Taiyuan out of this tolerance, although he knows that the king of Jin should have the heart of rebellion, but of course pretended not to notice, when congratulating the king of Jin on the heir, extremely sad to relay the Tong'an princess suffered the Northern Liao Xiao robbery, and Wang Yuanzhi this trip to Jinyang is not the end, have to continue to go north, pass the edict of the Son of Heaven, Yan Guogong quickly broke through the Yuguan, pacified Pan rebellion, with the death of the traitor to defeat the Northern Liao, revenge for the princess of Tong'an.

After hearing this, Tong'an sneered again: "Pan Bo is a traitor to the Great Zhou, the Queen Mother has always hated him, and wants to divide his five horses into corpses, what does it have to do with me?" Moreover, the Queen Mother thinks that the real murderer is Northern Liaoxiao, if she really wants to avenge me, she should recruit Northern Liaoxiao, except for Pan Wei, it is also revenge? The Queen Mother is an advertising subject, and she doesn't care about my life and death, although it is her original intention, but she is not afraid of hurting the prestige of the country and her so-called reputation? ”

Yin Shen didn't plan to talk about military and political affairs with Tong'an, but Ruan Yu saw that the princess finally showed her true temperament, and hurriedly hinted: "Let's not talk about Northern Liao Xiao, just talk about the death room captured by Ashina Qisang, it was originally to mislead the Queen Mother and Qi Sang, there is no doubt that your lord was rescued by His Royal Highness to Taiyuan, and there is no way to live in the dead world, but I never thought that the Queen Mother was loyal to Northern Liao Xiao because of that death, even if she was tortured, she insisted that it was the command of the King of Northern Liao, and she openly claimed to respect his loyalty and pardoned the capital crime and sent back to Northern Liao Xiao, wouldn't it be even more public to the subjects, has no intention of avenging your lord's blood hatred at all, the queen mother is so ruthless, won't it hurt the name of benevolence? ”

"Your lord and Ah Yu are not involved in power tricks in the end, and it is inevitable that they will be superficial." Yin Shen didn't hear that his wife was pretending to be confused, and he intended to relieve Tong'an, and explained solemnly: "Although the lord is honorable, then Mencius has a saying, the people are noble, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, and the Great Zhou Dynasty governs the country with Confucianism, and he should follow the ideas of the sages. Therefore, the queen mother insisted on letting the lord and relatives, claiming that it was for the sake of righteousness, and no one in the world accused the queen mother of ruthlessly breaking the family affection, because in the eyes of the subjects, since she did not want the war to break out and go into exile, if the lord and her relatives could be exchanged for peace in the world, and the subjects praised it, wouldn't it praise the queen mother's benevolence? ”

That is to say, everyone is self-interested, no matter whether you are superior to the princess of Da Zhou, as long as you are not affected by the scourge of war, then you don't have to pay attention to the princess's peace and joy.

Ruan Yu measured Tong'an's expression, and saw that she frowned slightly, and she showed a rare look of displeasure, so she did not stop her husband from continuing to play recklessly.

Listen to Yin Shen again: "In the same way, your lord was 'robbed and killed', but in the territory of the Turks, if the Queen Mother asked the Turks, why did she bother to negotiate peace in the first place?" If because of your lordship, you raise troops in Northern Liaoxiao, but let go of Pan's rebel ministers, which is not conducive to the society, wouldn't it be contrary to the righteousness? Although the Northern Liao Xiao and the Northern Liao Yelu clan broke off, the two are still one country, destroying Pan and rebelling, benefiting the community, subduing the Northern Liao, and benefiting the community, but if the queen mother helps the Yelu clan to calm down the civil strife, in the future, Yelu and Pan Bo will march again, wouldn't it be because of private abolishment of the public, but it will be useless for the righteousness? ”

He also commented on Empress Dowager Wei's handling of death: "In the Empress Dowager's opinion, it is just an assassin, life and death do not affect the overall situation, forgive him for not dying, but can respect loyalty and righteousness, the assassin obeys the orders of Northern Liao Xiao, not a courtier of the Great Zhou, so robbing and killing your lord is not the crime of the assassin, but the crime of the Northern Liao, forgive the assassin, the crime of the Northern Liao, Fang Xian distinguishes right and wrong, so why fear the doubts of the subjects?" ”

After Yin Shen finished playing, Ruan Yu sighed and said: "I see, after Lang Jun's analysis, the concubine suddenly realized, but there are doubts, could it be that His Royal Highness rescued your lord, but instead disregarded the righteousness and abolished the public for personal gain?" ”

"If your lord and relatives can really promote the two countries to reconcile and fight for a long time, of course Your Highness should not be blocked, but this is not the case, even if your lord marries the Turks, Ashina Qisang will definitely raise troops to attack Zhou, rescue your lord, and will not let the situation worsen, neither hurt the righteousness, if Your Highness does not care about your lord's safety, wouldn't it be cold and ruthless and lose benevolence? And Empress Dowager Wei is not really focused on social affairs, she just knows how to manipulate power to gain fame. ”

Ruan Yu bowed: "The concubine body is completely understood, whether the queen mother wants your lord to make peace with her relatives or pardon the dead, it is all out of selfish interests...... Your lord has always wondered why the Queen Mother is so ruthless, and now she should also wake up to the fact that the Queen Mother is very interested in profit, but she is like Her Royal Highness, such as the princess, even if it involves treacherous power, it is very different from the Queen Mother. ”

Tong'an "sure enough" woke up and his eyes were red: "If it weren't for my uncle and aunt, I would have died in the Turkic king's tent, how could I be suspicious of the two relatives?" ”

Seeing her like this, Ruan Yu was clearly still not relieved, but she also understood that she couldn't use too much force, so she comforted her a few words and diverted the topic.

——

In the second year of Dazhi, Wang Yuanzhi was still on the way back from this trip, August was not over, the Turkic Kehan Ashina Tujin "died of illness", Qisang officially succeeded to the throne, in September, the three princes were assassinated, the Turks, the great prince of Tiele died, only the Tubo king Hajile escaped, but he was also seriously injured, once critical.

It turned out that Qisang slightly changed Xie Ying's plan, leaving only Hajil with his life, and the Lord and one of the envoys survived, but Tiele and the Turkic envoys were killed, wouldn't it be confirmed that it was indeed Zhou's intention to break the treaty? If Tubo Zampu refuses to send troops, it is a betrayal of the alliance of the five departments, and even Tubo is suspected of colluding with the Zhou State, and Qisang has already persuaded Tianzhu, Da Shi, etc., the prestige is mighty, Tubo Zampu can't take advantage of it in vain, and the situation forces him to stand in line!

The Tibetans finally agreed to raise troops, and the five Turkic tribes, known as millions of elites, marched into Ganzhou!

The humiliating concession in exchange for less than a year of peace, although the Empress Dowager Wei was furious, but of course she would not be lucky at this time, and she could only actively prepare for the war, but she was extremely difficult in the selection of the main general.

Wang Huaizhun and others recommended An Ning Bo Qi Jun, the reason is very simple, An Ning Bo is familiar with the topography and military affairs of Anbei, and led the army to pacify the civil strife in Hengzhou, and won successes one after another.

However, Mo said that Zhu Ziyu and the rebels had not yet been pacified, and Empress Dowager Wei really did not want to give up halfway, even if she made up her mind, she could not trust to entrust hundreds of thousands of troops to An Ningbo - after all, it was doubtful whether this person was loyal or not.

Wei Yuanping and Xie Raoping agreed again this time, and jointly recommended Yan Guogong, and the Queen Mother was greatly moved.

How do you know that Yao Qian invited himself to be a general, and he didn't want to choose Yuguan as a cheap, but tried to lead the army to meet the barbarians.

His reason seems to be very convincing: "Weichen originally had a town in the western frontier, and fought with the barbarians, and he was familiar with the situation in Anbei only because of the urgency of Yingzhou, and he was ordered to resist in a hurry. ”

The Queen Mother trusted Yao Qian's henchman even more, and she was very moved to hear him full of confidence.

Not to mention, Yao Qian's supporters are Yuan Dezhi, and An Ningbo's supporters are also the Shu King Party!

The Queen Mother finally made up her mind and ordered Yao Qian, Yang Huaiyi and others to lead 500,000 forbidden troops to Ganzhou.

The war between the Great Zhou and the Turks has officially begun!
