Concubine Wu may not enter the palace once in a few months, even if she is given chronic poison every time she enters the palace, she returns to the palace for a few months, and these toxins are purified by herself, and she doesn't even need to take medicine.

Therefore, if you want to take chronic poison, you have to let the cronies who serve around Concubine Wu do it. It's a pity that Concubine Wu didn't bring the eunuch out when she left the palace. The previous Yahuan was also all gone.

Now Concubine Wu's personal rings are all children sent by her mother's family, just to avoid giving others a chance to poison.

Concubine Wu is several years younger than the Empress Dowager Sun, and Zhu Qiyu has already planned that as long as Concubine Wu survives the Empress Dowager Sun, she will be allowed to hold the seal of the Empress Dowager as the imperial concubine and become the Empress Dowager in the actual sense.

And at that time, the Emperor Taishang had already controlled the guests, and Zhu Qiyu had already passed himself to Hu Shanxiang and forcibly became the son of Xuanzong. In this way, without the constraints of the queen mother and the emperor, and without the disadvantages of the concubine, Zhu Qiyu is already invincible from the legal point of view, and then he can let go of the in-depth reform.

These people in the palace, if they want to turn the tables, there is another option, that is, to use strong poison. The problem is that Zhu Qiyu absolutely refuses to enter the palace now, and in the entire Qi Palace, the only one who is still willing to enter the palace is Concubine Wu.

But if Concubine Wu is given strong poison, and Concubine Wu enters the palace with the front foot and dies violently with the back foot, with Zhu Qiyu's temper, not even a single chicken in the entire palace will survive.

So when Zhu Qiyu was still alive, no one dared to give Concubine Wu a strong poison.

So Concubine Wu is now the same as Empress Dowager Sun, at least on the surface, she is invincible, and no one dares to directly poison the two.

Even Zhu Qiyu, the great genius, only dared to plan to use psychological tactics to affect the physical and mental health of the Empress Dowager Sun, so that the Empress Dowager Sun would live a few years less. Zhu Qiyu will not do such a bottomless thing as directly to the Queen Mother.

Otherwise, once a precedent is set, the consequences left to children and grandchildren will be endless.

But it was said that Concubine Wu came to Cining Palace, met everyone, and sat down.

Mrs. Sun's expression was a little unkind, and Concubine Wu persuaded her: "Sister, don't worry too much, now that my Ming army is in full swing, it won't be long before I will completely defeat Warat and welcome back the emperor." ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she snorted coldly in her heart: I will definitely be able to win, is this a comfort for me? If you really want to win, can the emperor come back? Even if you barely come back, can you have a good life?

Seeing that Empress Dowager Sun had a cold face, Concubine Wu was even exempt from the hypocritical promise, so she turned to Empress Zhou and asked: "Empress, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, have the thick clothes and red charcoal for the winter been sent to the Emperor Taishang?" ”

Empress Zhou hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, concubine, I have sent someone to send it over." Now that Zhencai and Jingcai have been accepted into the palace, there are two less people waiting for the Emperor, so I thought about selecting a few more good women and sending them to the Emperor Taishang. ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she glared at Queen Qian fiercely, her useless daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law knew how to cry if she couldn't do anything. No, this made Zhou steal the limelight again.

It turned out that Zhu Qizhen had already sent an envoy to Queen Qian by the way, so that Queen Qian could only take care of Mingzhe and protect herself, and she didn't have to force her head anymore. Therefore, Queen Qian became more and more negative, and her words and deeds did not seek merit, but no fault.

Empress Dowager Sun regretted this in her heart, it would have been good if she had exchanged the Wang family and the Qian family at that time, let the tough Wang family be the queen, and let the weak and incompetent waste of the Qian family be the princess. It just so happens that Zhu Qiyu likes delicate and weak women, and it is just right for the two to change.

Before Empress Dowager Sun could finish getting angry, she listened to Concubine Wu follow Empress Zhou's words and said: "I heard the emperor say that these two talented people serve the Emperor Taishang quite hard, and their position is only the lowest level of talent among the concubines, and it is really a bit undignified.

According to the emperor's intentions, it is a bit too much to promote the concubine, so it is better to promote the two to concubines first. A chaste concubine, a respectful concubine, what does my sister think? ”

"Yes, the emperor gave people a talent from the beginning, and he was indeed a bit mean."

Concubine Wu smiled: "Indeed, I also said the same about the emperor. The emperor only recently came to his senses, recalling that he himself was not only a little mean to Zhen and Jing. Even the concubine Hang of the palace was a little too cold.

After all, the Hang family gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, so the emperor asked me to mention it to my sister by the way, he wanted to promote the Hang family as the princess of the Emperor, I don't know what my sister thinks? ”

When everyone present heard this, they all looked at Concubine Wu in surprise, and sighed in their hearts about Concubine Wu's fierceness and toughness: A few days ago, the Sun family began to spread disparaging remarks about Princess Qi in the city, and as soon as it had some effect, it attracted Concubine Wu's counterattack.

Originally, the Wang family could still be the princess of the palace in a down-to-earth manner, but now that it is okay, the Hang family has also been promoted from the side concubine to the concubine, and in the future, the Wang family and the Hang family will officially sit on an equal footing.

And this is just a small warning from Zhu Qiyu, if these women in the palace can no longer see the situation clearly, do not know how to advance and retreat, and repeatedly force the emperor hard, then Zhu Qiyu will not mind giving Wang a ride when he can't bear it.

Empress Dowager Sun has always regarded the Wang family as her own, and when she saw that Concubine Wu was so squeezed by the Wang family, she also replied: "Since the emperor made both the Wang family and the Hang family concubines, there are now two concubines of the Emperor Wang, which of these two does the emperor plan to make the queen in the future?" ”

Concubine Wu smiled: "Feel free, everything is up to the Queen Mother." Wang Shi looks like a long-lived and blessed person, and it is difficult for the Queen Mother to like her. ”

Concubine Wu's words are hiding a knife in her laughter, and the meaning is obvious: If the Queen Mother insists on making Wang the queen of the new monarch, then we can only let her die violently before becoming the queen. The new monarch has promised the Wang family a lifetime of glory and wealth, and he almost has it, so why bother to fight for the queen's false name.

Anyway, Concubine Wu praised Princess Qi's attitude to things, what is there to fight for if she breaks the queen's position. Concubine Wu and Princess Qi have the same temper, one is not fighting for the position of the queen mother, and the other is not fighting for the position of queen, and they both want to get as far away from the palace as possible.

As a result, now Empress Dowager Sun and Concubine Wu have their own words, Empress Dowager Sun recognizes that Concubine Yu is the emperor's wife, and Concubine Wu recognizes Princess Qi as the emperor's wife, and the two do not give in.

In the end, the two sides broke up unhappily.

But the effect was achieved, as soon as Concubine Wu left, Empress Dowager Sun immediately sent her henchmen to inform her mother's family not to provoke the people of the Qi Palace. After all, the emperor has already made his attitude clear, and if he provokes the emperor, he really dares to kill.

……

But in the afternoon, he also went out of the camp at the same time as Polo's army.

Polo began to wave his army to attack the Ming army in Yuantucheng. And first, although he had promised not to fight with Polo, he did not promise not to attack other directions.

Therefore, I also chose the Changyi Gate, which is relatively weak in attack and defense.

Outside the Ming Dynasty city wall of Jingshi, there is an earthen city left by the Yuan Dynasty in the north, and a city wall left by the Jin Dynasty in the south. Changyi Gate is one of the gates of that section of the golden city wall, and it was also selected first, and finally decided to capture Changyi Gate first, and then use it as a base to attack the city wall of the Beijing Division.

Changyi Gate is also a relatively weak defense area, compared to Xizhi Gate, Fucheng Gate, gathered Shi Heng five military battalions and Sun Bo 3,000 battalions, as well as the elite troops in Beicheng that are all loyal to the new monarch, Changyi Gate is guarded by the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison, first of all, the number of people can not go up, only 10,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is obviously not as good as the elite of the border army of Xing'an Hou Xu Heng.

However, to Ling Yexian's surprise, Governor Liu Ju actually led the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison to meet the battle.
