Sheng Weiqiao said: "Oh, I just wanted to ask. In fact, it's hard to say whether my aunt's shop is still there or not! Did my aunt forget it? When we were in Chang'an, cousin Shen was seriously injured and came to ask for help. ? At that time, he said that he was taking care of business in Northern Xinjiang, but when Ruru made a surprise attack, something went wrong for his young boss’s family, not to mention the shop, the waiters, and the shopkeeper!”
"That's true." Xuanyu Feng said calmly, "But your cousin was injured at the hands of Ruru? That's really a blessing! I thought we should withdraw from Northern Xinjiang There's something wrong on the road to Chang'an! Although we didn't meet Ruru directly today, just looking at the faces of General Lu and others, we can see how difficult Ruru is to deal with! Your cousin is just an ordinary rich man, who can Those who escaped with their lives and lost their arms and legs are really alive in heaven for the ancestors of the Shen family!"
"Isn't it?" Sheng Weiqiao was a little disappointed when she saw that she looked calm and didn't look strange. When she was in Chang'an before, due to various reasons, she didn't have time to ask how Shen Silang was injured, let alone inquire about Shen Jiuniang. , Thinking about it carefully later, I always felt that Mrs. Sheng and other elders seemed to deliberately not want me to know
So I mentioned Meng Boqin and Zhao Shi's words about going north for a while, thinking that Xuan Yu Feng should relax on Shen Silang's issue, so I brought it up on purpose, trying to make up something... But in the end, the truth is not as good as the practice. For this aunt, the temptation ended in failure.
However, Sheng Weiqiao regained her confidence after being slightly disappointed and comforted herself: "My aunt watched me grow up, and I didn't watch my aunt grow up! So it's normal that my aunt knows me well and won't be easily fooled by me. .”
It was already late at night. Xuanyu Feng asked about Sheng Weiqiao's pregnancy. After learning that she was fine, he said: "Although I don't know whether the child is a boy or a girl, the bones in her body tell the secret." Pure and strong."
Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said: "I don't accept what my aunt said! I seemed to be very healthy when I was a child. I never took medicine a few times in my memory. I probably caught a cold because of my own fun."
"How many people were around when you were a child? What kind of food was not carefully selected and carefully cooked, and combined with the importance of nourishment?" The bumpy road from Chang'an to Tortoiseshell Island, let alone the hardships of the first few years on Tortoiseshell Island, he has endured it like this. That is a truly good body! You, who have not been tested, can also Calculate?"
"The child hasn't been born yet, do you want to change your heart?" Sheng Weiqiao yawned, "I won't tell you anymore... it's time to arrange it!"
Xuanyu Feng said with concern: "Let Yishan go to the kitchen to make a bowl of bird's nest, and you can eat it before going to bed!"
There was no conversation all night, and the next morning, Sheng Weiqiao was reluctantly called up to dress up. Although Yishan had not been waiting for her for a long time, Rong Suihe had already mentioned some of his wife's habits and taboos, so he knew The hostess has been living a careless life since she was young, and she especially likes to sleep in. She won't get up until daybreak.
At this moment, while cleaning up for her, he explained in a soft voice: "I didn't intend to disturb the queen so early, but General Lu sent someone to send a message, saying that although the pontoon bridge on the other side of Yanbo Crossing was burned down, yesterday In the evening, we received news that the 50,000-strong army led by Ruru had already pressed down on the border. The city of Yizhou was now in a state of chaos. The king of the county personally put on uniforms and patrolled the city to stabilize the people! So General Lu felt that we should leave as soon as possible. It’s better to stay away from Yizhou!”
"Ruru has reached the border?!" Sheng Weiqiao was startled. The white jade hollow phoenix title ribbon in her hand shook. The position of the bun she originally planned to insert suddenly became crooked. She calmed down, pulled it out and inserted it again. Frowning, he asked, "How is the situation? Can Mi Zhen hold on?"
Although Yishan was from the Wuyi Camp and had received different training than ordinary women, she had never experienced such a battle. She felt unsure at this moment, but of course she couldn't expose herself in front of the pregnant mistress. He calmly said: "Don't worry, Madam. When the prince was at sea, he was fully prepared every time he went to war and left enough escape routes. Otherwise, how could the prince be so young at that time, how could his subordinates be so willing to obey him? ?”
"Ruru, how many people are here in total this time?" Sheng Weiqiao pressed his eyebrows and asked, "The forwards are fifty thousand, and the main force should be at least two hundred thousand?"
"I don't know," Yishan said softly, "but the Western Xinjiang Army only has 200,000 troops. Even if it is not as elite as Ruru, Yizhou is a state city and is close to the border. It has deep trenches and strong walls. But it's not that easy to deal with! In ancient times, it was said that some generals used this city to defend it for several years! That was when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and the court had no time to take care of itself. Now our country has good weather and the court is stable, as long as the king can hold on for a while Time, can the Northern Xinjiang Army return with reinforcements?"
Sheng Weiqiao thought to himself: "With the long-relaxed 200,000-strong Western Xinjiang Army, it would be a blessing to have a 50,000-strong vanguard to attack the city. How could we possibly guard against Ruru's main force? At that time, we might even have to call on the lurking 100,000 Nannan troops." Xinjiang Army!"
"How could the Meng family or my father-in-law send reinforcements to Mi Zhen?!"
After all, Rong Suihe already had a lot of halo on his head. Now that he had taken the military power of the Western Xinjiang Army, and with the help of the Shu sisters, he persuaded the Southern Xinjiang Army to be used by him, Damu's army was unified. How many? In addition to the three major frontier armies, there are only the coastal navy and the imperial army stationed in Shanglin Garden!
With the talents shown by Rong Suihe and the city government and the two frontier armies in his hands, given time, will anyone else in this great Mu Chaotang have the right to speak to him!
It can be said that as long as Meng didn't lose his mind and King Gaomi didn't suddenly change his temperament, Meng Boqin and Zhao Shi would never send an army westward until the Western Xinjiang Army and the Southern Xinjiang Army were completely defeated!
Who knows that Western Xinjiang has been suffering from bitter cold and is vast and sparsely populated. Let alone being attacked, this place has been completely occupied. As long as Ruru does not go further, it will not threaten the stability of the Damu Dynasty. In this case, when the senior officials are plotting against each other, Of course, you don’t need to take too much care!
"The Meng family can use the Na Fuzhen incident to make a fuss." Sheng Weiqiao narrowed his eyes and quickly calculated, "As for Zhao Shi, it is natural to build relationships and gain family ties! Although I don't really believe that my mother-in-law will always stand by On Mi Zhen's side, at least for now, my mother-in-law's attitude is clearly in favor of Mi Zhen. This can be used when I meet Zhao Shi later!"
After all, Zhao Shi and Princess Gaomi are biological siblings. Judging from the various rumors about Princess Gaomi, she has a high status in her natal family and is not the kind of sister who will be ignored by her brothers.
Her attitude will also affect Zhao Shi's attitude to some extent.
But these are not enough. How could Sheng Lanci's biological daughter not understand that the most common strong relationship in the world is always "interest"
"Meng plans to be the master of his own affairs, so he can only temporarily win over others. He must both win over and be on guard."
"But Zhao Shi can be fought for... Well, I just don't know what happened to Zhao Taomei. Will he hold a grudge?"
Thinking of what he said to Feng Shi: "What would your father do if he were Zhao Shi?"
Sheng Weiqiao felt a little guilty. Although it was reasonable to say that what happened to Zhao Taomei was really a misunderstanding, the damage was real.
Twenty-four filial piety father has always been an unreasonable person.
If Sheng Lanci was in Zhao Shi's position and snatched away my daughter's favorite husband, how dare she come to ask for help? I won’t trick you into taking your last name!
"But my father is the only child... Well, now that I have Yuan'er, I have a son and a daughter. Naturally, I am very precious to him." She tried hard to find a way out for herself, "But as for Zhao Shi, he has many children. There are even more grandchildren! Even if there is a daughter, there is more than just Zhao Taomei!"
Such fatherly love will inevitably be dispersed, so surely he will not ignore the overall situation for Zhao Taowei
Then the question is, how can I convince him with the overall situation
Sheng Weiqiao analyzed it carefully, "Zhao Shi is my father-in-law at the moment. My goal is to make him Mi Zhen's man. At the worst, I want to be able to help when Mi Zhen is in crisis! Mi Zhen's relationship with my father-in-law is No matter how bad it is, he is his biological father and son after all. So if Zhao Shi turns to Mi Zhen, as long as he embellishes it, no one will talk about him betraying his master."
This is a great advantage, because throughout the ages, "betraying one's master" has always been a bad reputation.
Although Zhao Shi is now General Huaihua, he comes from an authentic scholarly family. Judging from the way Mrs. Qin disciplines her granddaughter, it is obvious that she pays great attention to family style.
So as the biological son of the old lady and the most valued eldest son, Zhao Shi most likely has the consciousness to maintain the family's reputation.
The benefits of embracing the direct father-son relationship between Sleeping Crane and King Gaomi are self-evident.
"The second advantage is that Zhao Shi is loyal to my father-in-law, not to the prince Rong Qingzui!"
"After all, the reason why my father-in-law is very afraid of Mi Zhen is because he thinks the prince is mediocre and is afraid that he will not be able to suppress a talented brother like Mi Zhen!"
"If the prince has the ability to make Zhao Shi surrender to him, why should my father-in-law worry about it?"
"And it is rumored that Zhao Shi Aicai... In other words, all I need to do is convince Zhao Shi to choose Mi Zhen between the Crown Prince and Mi Zhen?"
Thinking of this, Sheng Weiqiao raised his eyebrows, and then the next question came again. Zhao Shi gave up his comfortable life of singing in the wind and admiring the moon in Chang'an, and went to Northern Xinjiang to eat and drink in the snow. After working for so many years, he was forced to support himself. The military power of King Gaomi's faction was certainly due to the fact that his sister was hired by the late emperor to be the princess of King Gaomi, so she had no choice but to board the ship of King Gaomi. However, after years of hard work, would she be willing to work for nothing
The problem is that if Rong Suihe comes to power, the people closest to him will definitely be the Sheng family. The Feng family and the Xuanyu family will also benefit from it, as well as the Xu family, the Luo family, the Gongsun family, and Jishanying. His family will naturally have to be at the forefront if he gets the honor.
This was before the relationship between Rong Suihe and Huan Guanlan was exposed.
Once it is exposed, from the perspective of the dragon's power, we must also consider Rong Suihe's fellow seniors. That is a network of relationships all over the world. What kind of talent cannot be found
Huan Guanlan’s reputation as “all over the world” is not just bragging!
So, what is the future of the Zhao family
"Zhao Shi's doubts must be dispelled on this issue!" Sheng Weiqiao frowned, "But, how to do it?"
She couldn't give up the position of princess to Zhao Taomei to please Zhao Shi, right? !
