Emperor Xuanwu believed that his illness must be leaked. The hostile new King of Jin is fledgling, but Qi is not just for nothing. Naturally, sooner or later he will know that the monarch of Wu is ill.
So Emperor Xuanwu recruited Princess Qing and Wu Zhe to represent the state affairs, but in fact they were used as a shield, an illusion for others to see.
This illusion is naturally focused on showing to the people of Qi, and to King Qi.
Look, my illness is not serious. Even handling official documents and memorials requires two women to act as agents.
Although he can manage the government with all his strength, it is actually a facade.
Emperor Xuanwu knew that he was suspicious and refused to delegate power to important officials. I also know that King Qi knows this characteristic of himself.
So once he is willing to decentralize power appropriately, King Qi will naturally think that his illness is not serious. In this way, the enemy can be paralyzed, and on the occasion of the enthronement ceremony, which no one expected, the surprise attack on Qi State will gain an overwhelming advantage.
In the original situation of strong national power, once the first opportunity is obtained, all subsequent initiatives will be in their own hands.
Although this method of warfare is not as secure as a steady and steady fight, Emperor Xuanwu felt that he was getting older and couldn't afford to wait anymore.
Military affairs are divided into many categories. The most important thing, Emperor Xuanwu is unwilling to hand it over to others.
In fact, there is also a trick of deception.
Meng own opponent, also Meng own daughter.
Don't look at him on the surface as if he is very leisurely and has no passion for dealing with state affairs. He even handed over the matter of approving the memorial to Princess Qing and Wu Zhe. But in fact, it was two women who were handed over, and he was not afraid at all that the two of them could control the government or something.
When I raided the Qi Kingdom, there were three reassuring people sitting in the town, which laid the foundation for Emperor Xuanwu's plan that there would be no future troubles of his nest being caught on fire.
Because when he made a surprise attack on Qi State, the basic state affairs of Wu State were running, and the preparations were handed over to Princess Qing and Wu Zhe.
Only by Prince Mo. Emperor Xuanwu was still worried. Princess Qing's foundation is also shallow, the key is that she has a think tank, Zhou Zhiruo, so he dares to leave Wudu.
"Blessings come from heaven, Zhou Zhiruo is in my Great Wu Kingdom." Emperor Xuanwu couldn't help saying this when he decided on this strategy.
Emperor Xuanwu has never been so happy that Wuguo has a think tank. It can make him feel at ease and dare to leave his lair to fight a vigorous battle to unify the Central Plains.
If he knew that Zhou Zhiruo was actually an undercover agent sent by the people of Qi, he might spit out a mouthful of blood.
like that. I'm afraid that the old nest will be taken over by this military think tank. At that time, Emperor Xuanwu's backyard will of course be on fire, so it's no wonder that the army is undefeated.
It is also considered Xuanwu Emperor's luck that Wu Zhe is not a simple undercover agent.
She is a righteous person. Although her greatest wish is to be a male scrubber in a women's bathhouse...
Whether it is the victory of the Wu Kingdom or the Qi-Jin Alliance, it is just a victory of hegemony, and the people of the world are still in dire straits.
There is no such thing as justice in war. It is a very cruel act to give up the power of countless lives for the sake of a few people. Wu Zhe would not allow such a thing to happen.
It's a pity that Wu Zhe hasn't seen through Emperor Xuanwu's plan yet. She is not a fairy, under the deliberate concealment of Emperor Xuanwu. He didn't notice the mobilization of troops at all, how could he know that he was going to send out surprise troops like a prophet
Conspiracies take time to see through.
As night fell, Emperor Xuanwu was still planning a surprise attack on Qi in Furong Pavilion.
Various maps were placed on the table, and there were even chess pieces with writing on them.
Emperor Xuanwu planned the offensive arrangement of the Xuanwu female generals for a while, and compared the information of the Xuanwu female generals in Qi, he couldn't help frowning at one of the most special chess pieces.
After a long time, he stood up. He flicked the sleeves of the dragon robe and walked around with his hands behind his back.
"What is the emperor worried about?" Chief Executive Peng asked like a confidant elder sister.
This time is the time for the chief executive to take care of the emperor's troubles. Observing the words and watching the mood relieved the emperor's worries. If you don't have eyesight for such a trivial matter, how can you become the chief steward of the inner palace
What's more, the chief executive was able to stand beside Xuanwu Emperor and wait on him for the plan of the sneak attack, which shows that he has the trust of the emperor.
Before dismissing Chief Manager Peng in front of Princess Qing, it was just to make Princess Qing feel that she was valued.
Emperor Xuanwu's trust in his sons and daughters is actually not as good as that in Chief Peng, the servant who followed him since childhood.
"That chess piece... I feel uneasy just looking at her!" Xuanwu Emperor pointed to a pink chess piece on the map.
Other chess pieces are written with two words or three words. They are all names written in petty lowercase letters. But this chess piece does not have any handwriting, and the color is the most special.
The black chess pieces that symbolize the Xuanwu female generals of the Wu Kingdom have their names written in cinnabar. Names such as Emperor Xuanwu, Sansheng, Longlao, and General Qiu.
Symbolizing the characters of Wu Kingdom are white chess pieces with names written in ink. Such as Qi Wang, Qi Shizi, Sovereign, Great Elder, etc.
This pink chess piece was placed in Qi State. Located in the Qidu pattern.
Director Peng saw Xuanwu Emperor move the pink chess piece back and forth. I keep putting it left and right on the ground, and I don't know where to put it. In the end, it was put back in the Qidu position.
"The old slave dares to guess that this chess piece is..." Director Peng swallowed, and after seeing Emperor Xuanwu's reaction, he said slowly: "Is it from Qi... Xiao Ruoyao?"
"..." Although Emperor Xuanwu knew that he would hear this name, he still couldn't help but stop pacing back and forth, and his brows frowned even more.
Director Peng is very clear that this name has become a heart problem for Emperor Xuanwu.
Even if they are separated by thousands of miles, this name will be like a thorn in the heart, making the emperor restless.
"The suzerain of the sword fighting sect in Qi State, although the Xuanwu level is the best in the world, but after all, he is old and has no wits. Tiansheng of the Sansheng sect has made progress recently, and sooner or later he will no longer be controlled by that old guy." The Xuanwu Emperor looked at the direction behind, and said slowly: "But this Xiao Ruoyao, the Xuanwu level has improved amazingly. Not long ago, even the elder Long was injured. There are also unpredictable schemes, and even the leadership of the Xuanwu female general It has all the strengths, and it has reached the unreasonable Li Xu's command domain."
"..." Director Peng really wanted to help Emperor Xuanwu relieve his worries, but he tried to open his mouth but didn't know what to say.
To say that she is a girl after all? But the Xuanwu Emperor valued her so much just now, and Princess Qing and Zhou Zhiruo were also female representatives who gave me a memorial to approve it
"Little Pengzi, you have nothing to say?" Emperor Xuanwu sighed, "No, you should be old Pengzi, we are all old."
Emperor Xuanwu sat down, tapping his fingers slowly on the desk.
"Your Majesty, this slave is not old yet! Others say we are in our prime!" Director Peng naturally knew that he should not consider himself old, otherwise wouldn't the Xuanwu Emperor he had been serving since childhood also be old
"Although you can talk, it is undeniable. The new generation replaces the old, and the time that belongs to us is getting less and less. Xiao Ruoyao, who is such a young generation, is difficult to deal with. Even if the Sanshengzong is young The most outstanding Dugubao in a generation was much inferior to Xiao Ruoyao in the robbery of Princess Youyou last time." Emperor Xuanwu was helpless: "Qi has Xiao Ruoyao, so I feel that I have no idea in all my plans. She, really It is the deadliest variable in any plan."
"So, we can consider using other methods to eliminate Xiao Ruoyao's variable threat."
"Don't talk about lures, even if Zhou Zhiruo was sent to try to attract them, they stopped midway due to accidents and failed. I have to say that Xiao Ruoyao's fortune is too scary." Emperor Xuanwu said: "Especially in the past few days, there has been news from Qi The news about Xiao Ruoyao actually said that she has disappeared without a trace again. I am worried that she will make some small tricks somewhere. She is full of tricks, and once these small tricks break out, it must be the most terrifying."
"The emperor's national fortune is prosperous, why don't you bring Zhou Zhiruo, a newly-emerged think tank, with you? Even if there is an emergency when the troops are dispatched, there are also people who can give advice."
"But after I dispatched a surprise army, I was worried about domestic instability!" Emperor Xuanwu frowned.
He knew that this was the result of his refusal to let go of his power.
Since he came to the throne, everything must be done by himself. Although there are many cronies, there is no one who can be entrusted to the state agent with peace of mind.
The eldest prince's employment is unknown, so naturally he is abolished. Emperor Xuanwu hastily promoted Prince Mo and Princess Qing recently, as well as Zhou Zhiruo to assist in state affairs.
The reason why Princess Qing is so favored is naturally not just because Emperor Xuanwu feels ashamed of her mother, but the point is that Princess Qing is politically sensitive and intelligent.
It's a pity that she is a female stream after all, and Emperor Xuanwu thinks that she can only serve as an auxiliary country.
As for why Xiao Ruoyao was valued as a woman, it was mainly because she had indeed done something great. In addition, Princess Qing's Xuanwu ability is insufficient, and she cannot be compared in terms of bravery. Naturally, there is a psychological gap between Emperor Xuanwu.
After discussing for a while, Emperor Xuanwu was also frowning.
Wu Zhe was completely unaware that he was the biggest cause of Emperor Xuanwu's surprise attack.
Right now, she and Princess Qing are looking for Longlao [seek medical advice].
Elder Long's injury was first aided properly on the same day, and after being personally treated by the Master of Yuan Healing Palace, he is now 80% healed. It's just that the cultivation base has dropped sharply, at least to the beginning of September. In addition, after all, his age is almost seventy, although he is not very old at the Xuanqi Holy Rank, but his body has lost a lot of money, and he already has the stamina to use his hands.
This time, Wu Zhe was tricked a lot. This great master who was originally ranked only after the Three Saints, might not be sure against Elder Xie and Elder Bai.
In the past few days, it is difficult for his body to fully recover, and he is depressed in his heart. After Wu Zhe and Princess Qing asked to see each other, he could not help being stunned when he heard the two girls talking: "Miss Zhou, your profound energy has been raised to two stars?"
