Chapter 140: Lao Jiu is here
On the Chang'an side, after learning that Zhao Changqing had destroyed Zhao Changxuan, Zhao Changyuan was like a great enemy, and at this moment, he was walking back and forth in the Xuanzheng Palace.
At present, the body of Zhao Yuanqing, the first emperor of Wei, has been lying on the dragon couch for more than seven days, which is unprecedented in the history of Wei.
Thanks to the secret technique in the palace to keep the corpse from rotting and smelling, otherwise, I am afraid that the entire Daming Palace will be filled with the smell of corpses.
Xuanzheng Palace, Zhao Changyuan, who was very upset in his heart, heard the best news in the past few days, "Your Majesty, just now the spies came to report that the Jin Kingdom has sent troops, and 300,000 troops will arrive in Qingzhou in a few days." ”
The person who reported to him was Zhong Qiu.
Although this is good news, in Zhao Changyuan's heart, it is not the best, "300,000? Only 300,000 people were sent? What can 300,000 people do? Such a good opportunity, they only send 300,000 troops? What does this mean?"
Zhong Qiu thought for a while before he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen guesses that this should be the vanguard of the Jin Kingdom, and its purpose is to explore the reality of Qingzhou.
Moreover, they lost hundreds of thousands of horses in Qingzhou, and the dispute between Jin and Chu has not yet ended, and they are afraid that they are a little weak, so on the whole, 300,000 is a lot. ”
Zhao Changyuan secretly clenched his fists, frowned and asked, "Is the army of King Qin from all provinces and counties here?"
When Zhong Qiu heard this, he sighed, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, except for the three provinces of Huainan, Longyou, and Shannan, no state or county has sent a large army over.
However, with the strength of the three realms, they can only piece together about 100,000 troops, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled..."
Zhao Changyuan ran out of patience, "Hundreds of thousands? Are they all old, weak, sick and disabled? Zhao Changqing claims to have an army of 700,000!
Zhong Qiu knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, now is the critical moment, we must put our minds to the side and defend Chang'an! Otherwise, what awaits us will be a fate similar to that of Zhao Changxuan!"
Zhao Changyuan sat on the dragon chair, slowly closed his eyes, and muttered, "That's it, let's do our best to listen to the destiny of heaven!"
When Zhong Qiu heard this, he sighed again, and then prepared to leave.
At the moment when he stepped out of the threshold of the palace with one foot, he heard Zhao Changyuan's voice, "Wait!"
Zhong Qiu turned around and said, "What else is there to do with Your Majesty?"
Zhao Changyuan quickly stood up, as if he had the spirit in an instant, and his voice was no longer as lifeless as it was just now.
"Changle is still in the palace, we can use her to blackmail Zhao Changqing and prevent him from attacking the city!"
Zhong Qiu frowned, he questioned this strategy a little, "Can this work?"
Helplessly, he questioned, in the face of the temptation of the throne, what is the friendship between brothers and sisters?
Ordinary people will also make trouble because of an acre of land or a house, so that they fight in the same room, this is the throne, its value can be compared to that acre of land and a house?
Zhao Changyuan said excitedly: "Why not? The prime minister doesn't know, their brother and sister have been good since childhood, maybe, we can use her life as a threat to temporarily force Zhao Changqing to withdraw from the army?"
After all, what we need now is time, as long as the time is available, I believe that those who are still waiting and watching will change their minds, and they can't say if they are slowly raising troops?
What's more, it will take some time for the Jin State to fight Qingzhou's idea. As long as the time comes, he will be attacked on his back, and then we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
Zhong Qiu felt that although this strategy was not reliable, he could give it a try, after all, it was better than nothing, but he still had a doubt, "She... After all, she is a princess, and she is loved by the emperor......"
Zhao Changyuan slapped the table and said fiercely: "That's Zhao Changqing's own sister, it has nothing to do with me!"
Zhong Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty Shengming!"
Daming Palace, next to the dragon couch.
The Nine Emperor Princes called Changle to an empty space, and then knelt down.
The former said quietly to the latter: "The eldest brother has already destroyed the third brother, and he currently has hundreds of thousands of troops, if nothing else, he will capture the capital in a few days." ”
Changle was taken aback, he came to say this to himself?
Say these here?
When the new emperor ascends the throne, there are eyes and ears everywhere, and when he says this, aren't he afraid of being excluded?
She took a deep breath, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lao Jiu, "Sister, don't act rashly, let alone show a surprised look, at this moment, the entire palace is the second child's minions, what we have to do now is to stabilize the mentality, and not let the second child find any cats."
What the ninth brother said just now is the best ending for the eldest brother without accidents. However, if something goes wrong, it's likely to fall short. ”
Changle stabilized his mentality, his face did not change, and he whispered: "What accident?"
Lao Jiu said: "You." ”
Changle was surprised: "Me?"
Then, immediately become aware of your emotions and immediately return to nature.
Lao Jiu said: "That's right, if I were the second child, he would definitely use you to blackmail the eldest brother." So, you must be mentally prepared enough to deal with what happens next.
If one day, the second guard wants to tie you to the city, I will let the guard with a yin and yang fish jade pendant on his waist take the initiative to tie you up.
At that time, he will also send you to the city wall, if the second child insists on killing you, he will stab you in the back, but not enough to kill, you will still retain consciousness, and then, rely on him to help you get out of danger.
This is a reciprocal pill, when tying you up, you have to find a way to swallow it quietly, and its effect is to put you into a state of suspended animation. If you can take the opportunity to escape from the city, send this secret letter to the eldest brother.
I know you have a lot of questions now, but it's not suitable to answer them for you one by one at the moment, sister, you just need to believe me, because the ninth brother treats you as a sister.
If it weren't for the guard to tie you up, then, after my sister came to the city wall, she chose the opportunity to jump off the city, my sister has a bit of martial arts cultivation, although she will be seriously injured if she falls down the city, but she will not die.
At that time, I will let the dead man, the second guard, wait for an opportunity to create chaos and help you jump off the city. I know that I have wronged you by letting my sister do this.
But the hegemony of the emperors through the ages, there has been bloodshed and sacrifice, the ninth brother has put his net worth and life on the line, and I hope my sister can too.
As long as we can assist the eldest brother to ascend the throne, our death is worth it, it has nothing to do with fame and fortune in the future, just for the present, this stormy Great Wei Kingdom. ”
After saying this, Lao Jiu quietly returned to his original position and knelt.
And Changle, from Lao Jiu's hand just now, received a secret letter and a pill.
MeSign is placed in the most private, private place.
The pill was placed in the gap surrounded by the jade belt around the waist.
She had heard so much and probably understood something.
At the same time, I made a decision without any hesitation.
As long as he can assist his elder brother to ascend the throne and become the emperor, what can he count as a mere life?
She gritted her teeth and turned her heart sideways, ready to die at any time, oh no, a sacrifice.
Lao Jiu knelt where he had been kneeling before, closed his eyes, and said in his heart: "Second brother, second brother, tell me about you, you are not as good as the eldest brother in the war, not as scheming as me, and there are no good ministers and fierce generals, now everything is ready, His Royal Highness still doesn't believe it, you, the emperor, can you still be the emperor for a long time?"
