Xie Yunqing calmly analyzed, "Gao Shiwei is a close minister of the emperor. Although he has no talents, he still has the ability to figure out the mind of the emperor. The emperor has always been jealous of you and wants to get rid of you. Gao Shiwei intends to persuade the emperor to use this opportunity to get rid of him. Drop you."
"You will take over Fang Luocheng. If you lose, the emperor can get rid of you openly. If you win, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. The emperor has placed a few men in the warrior to give you a poisonous arrow or chop you a few times. At that time, I will give you a good name for dying heroically for your country. After you die, you will be loved by the people. Only pity you died at a young age, and no one will offer you incense in the future."
"Don't worry, I must leave a letter before I leave. If I fail to come back, I will let the emperor pass his eldest grandson to me, and then inherit my Prince Yu Mansion and the emperor Geying."
Xiao Xuan proudly said, "My grandmother loves me like that. If I really die, I will definitely agree to whatever I want to do." Xiao Xuan kept talking about his own affairs, without any taboo.
Xie Yunqing was amused by Xiao Xuan's words, "Everyone is afraid of death, why come to you, you seem to be looking forward to your own death?"
Xiao Xuan looked at Xie Yunqing with a smile on his face, and put on a serious expression, "Aren't you the same, you have no fear of death."
"No, I'm not afraid of death, but I just don't want to die." Xie Yunqing paused, "There are so many places worthy of my nostalgia in the world, there are so many people worthy of my nostalgia, why should I want to die?"
Xie Yunqing looked out the window, the sky was blue, like the smoothest blue silk. There is a birdcage hanging under the porch, and bright-winged parrots hop around in the birdcage, pecking at each other.
The air was filled with the fragrance of fragrant flowers, and the sound of the wind blowing on the leaves. Everything is so beautiful and true, and all the haze and darkness of the previous life seem to be too far away.
The long eyelashes that were thick like butterfly wings trembled lightly, covering the girl's clear eyes. A corner in Xiao Xuan's heart suddenly felt like being scratched by a feather.
He kept his gaze on the girl’s face, and it took a long time before he realized his rudeness. He hurriedly looked away and coughed slightly, “I’m just joking, Xiao Wang, I’m still at the age of magnificent beauty, so I thought of death. ?"
Xie Yunqing pursed her lips and smiled, but she looked a little demure, "Anyway, you can't live without a vigilant heart, you can bring more hands." She peeled off another orange, carefully took off the silk, and then took it off. The orange petals were handed to Xiao Xuan.
The girl's fingers were slender and her nails were neatly trimmed, as exquisite as crescents, and she didn't know if she was as soft and boneless as she looked in her hand.
Xiao Xuan took the orange petals from Xie Yunqing's hand, and when his fingertips touched the girl's soft palm, it was as numb as an electric shock.
This feeling is something he has never had before.
Xiao Xuan ate the orange one by one, and neither of them spoke, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere floating around.
"Since there is nothing wrong, I will leave first." Xiao Xuan got up and looked at Xie Yunqing's expression after speaking.
The girl still smiled, nodded slightly and said: "Little prince walk slowly, I won't give it away."
Xiao Xuan only felt a little empty in his heart, and walked away like angrily.
Xie Yunqing felt a little inexplicable, why this person was still normal one second before, and then became angry in the next second
Sure enough, as Xie Yunqing said, Gao Shiwei finished his court the next morning and spoke to the emperor alone for a while. As soon as Gao Shiwei left the palace, the emperor ordered Yu Wang Xiaoxuan to enter the palace.
The emperor summoned Xiao Xuan directly, so few officials knew about it.
Xie Yunqing has already started arranging the secret guards of the Zhuozi Department these days, the palaces, the mansions of important ministers, and the military camps have her eyeliner everywhere. So although the emperor
Summoning Xiao Xuan did not disturb a few people, but Xie Yunqing still knew first.
The secret guard who came to spread the word quietly retreated as he did when he came, and Su Wen stepped forward and poured tea for Xie Yunqing, but he didn't talk too much.
Xie Yunqing has been with Su Wen these few days, and he also knows that Su Wen is a taciturn person who can never say a word without speaking. Xie Yunqing squeezed the teacup, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Su, "Guess why the emperor came to Wang Yu?"
Su Wen was a little surprised. It seemed that she didn't expect Xie Yunqing to ask her about this, but she still replied: "The most popular thing now is the defeat of Fang Luocheng. I am afraid that the emperor wants to let Prince Yu take the post of General Xuanwu. Go to war."
She was a smart woman, Xie Yunqing said softly: "Prince Yu was brave and good at fighting back then, but King Yu had never been on the battlefield. It can be said that there is no more advantage than Fang Luocheng. Sending King Yu to the battlefield by the emperor is tantamount to letting King Yu go. To die, and the emperor has this plan."
Quietly killed King Yu to get rid of his heart troubles, at the expense of the soldiers of Dazhou and the people at the junction of Dazhou and Guoguo.
There must be more than hundreds of thousands of casualties in this battle, but the emperor only cares about his imperial power. As for the life and death of the soldiers and the people, the emperor never cares about it.
Su Wen nodded thoughtfully.
I only hope that this battle will end soon, Xie Yunqing lowered his eyelids.
Over the years, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty only knew that the treasury was exhausted. The emperor is afraid of the generals, the generals will not be reused, the army of Da Zhou has long been rotten, and there is only one display. The ministers only know about the power struggle, and don't think about doing something for the country or the people.
The longer the war drags on, the more problems within Da Zhou will be exposed.
Southern Qin, Dongyu, Xiongnu, these countries are now watching the fire from across the bank, just waiting for the Great Zhou and Guo State to consume their national power and weaken, and to swallow up the Great Zhou and Guo State in one fell swoop. There is also Jiang in the west. Although Jiang and Da Zhou are allies, the relationship is not stable. Other countries really want to send troops to attack Da Zhou. Does Jiang not want to share a bowl of pie
Xie Yunqing hated the royal family of Da Zhou, but the people were so innocent. In the age of war, the people will always suffer.
Xiao Xuan knelt on top of the hall, the emperor smiled, and did not see yesterday's anger.
"Get up," the emperor said, "have you heard about my execution of Fang Luocheng?"
Xiao Xuan stood up and said respectfully: "In response to your Majesty's words, my nephew heard someone say yesterday."
"Oh," the emperor sighed, "Fang Luocheng is dead, but I can't find someone to replace Fang Luocheng."
Xiao Xuan couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart, there is no one in the world who is more brazen than the emperor. The emperor is absorbed in pleasure, the entire court caters to the emperor, and is all in the whirlpool of power and desire. However, the military officers cannot be reused, and the soldiers are also coveting peace and happiness. They only know that indulgence, and the barracks have also become corrupt.
It was the emperor who broke Da Zhou's army with one hand, but now he is lamenting that there is no one available.
Xiao Xuan did not speak, but waited for the emperor to continue speaking.
Seeing that Xiao Xuan did not respond to him, the emperor coughed a little awkwardly, "I think twice, thinking about your father who is brave and good at fighting and good at leading soldiers. As his son, you naturally inherited his talent. It's your responsibility. Bing, how about taking over from General Xuanwu?"
Xiao Xuan made a startled look and hurriedly fell to his knees. "Your Majesty, you know me. Since I was a child, I have never learned no skills. I have caused a lot of misfortunes, big and small. If you and the emperor's grandmother are not protecting me, even if I have ten heads, I can't cut it. I fight the leader. I don't know anything. You let me go to the front line. Isn't this killing me?"
Xiao Xuan drooped his ears, then quietly raised his head and glanced at the emperor, "I haven't married a wife yet, just in case
I died on the battlefield, and I haven't left the queen for our Prince Yu's mansion yet. "He curled his lips, and looked like a dude.
The emperor will be laughed at by Xiao Xuan, "I will send more people to protect you, why is it so easy to get into trouble?"
Oh, how did his father die? Xiao Xuan's investigation made it clear that it was the easiest to be devised when it came to the battlefield. When the time comes, you don't know how to die. The emperor has a good calculation.
Xiao Xuan jokingly said: "I have never been to the battlefield. I don't want to go to the front line. I haven't enjoyed the glory and wealth in the capital yet. I have to go to the battlefield to suffer and suffer. How distressed."
The emperor's face was stern, "You went to the front line to open up the frontiers for my Great Zhou Dynasty. Your actions will benefit thousands of people, not to mention so many people protecting you. What are your concerns? There is no need to discuss this matter, you go back and clean up. Pack up, I will do it for you myself."
The emperor made the decision directly.
Xiao Xuan lowered his head, as if unable to say anything to refute, he had no choice but to kowtow, "Please follow your majesty's decree."
Xiao Xuan came out of the hall, and in his ears was the words of the emperor, "Your emperor grandmother is getting old, in order to prevent the elderly from worrying about you, you should not disturb your emperor grandmother with this matter."
The emperor said that he allocated more people and horses to him, but he gave him 10,000 horses.
The soldiers brought by Fang Luocheng had been broken in half, and he had only taken 10,000 with him, which was tantamount to hitting a rock with a pebbles.
The emperor sent an eyeliner to stare at him, because he was afraid that Xiao Xuan would not return to the palace immediately, but would go to the Queen Mother for help. The emperor has already blocked the news, I am afraid that only after he has taken the soldiers to Guo country, the queen mother can get the news.
Xiao Xuan sat in the sedan chair, listening to the pedaling of horseshoes.
With an army of only 10,000 horses, plus the incomplete half of the centaurs left in Los Angeles, facing the iron cavalry of Guoguo, does the emperor really know what chance it will win
The emperor didn't care about the lives of the people and soldiers of Da Zhou, he only cared about his throne.
Xie Yunqing received the news that Xiao Xuan had come out of the palace, half-squinted his eyes, and said to Su Wen: "I want to inform the people in the palace and let them pass the news to the Queen Mother. Be careful not to let anyone notice it."
Xiao Xuan wouldn't listen to what she said last time. He respected the queen mother from the heart and didn't want to worry about the queen mother, but unless the queen mother came forward to fight for him, Xiao Xuan could not take away more soldiers.
The emperor originally had a killing intent towards Xiao Xuan, and when the time came to be enemies inside and outside, Xiao Xuan would definitely not be able to use the secret guards in his hands, and the danger would increase a little bit.
Xie Yunqing didn't know how the queen dowager got the news in the previous life. He wanted to come to the emperor and there were also people around the queen dowager, but Xie Yunqing was afraid of accidents.
The emperor has many dreams in order to prevent the night, and in the morning tomorrow morning, he will order Xiao Xuan to take over the seat of General Xuanwu, and he will go for Xiao Xuanjian in the afternoon.
The queen mother must receive the news in advance and force the emperor to compromise when she is in court. The queen mother never made any request to the emperor in her life. This was the first time the queen dowager made a request to the emperor. The emperor had no choice but to refuse in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, and the mountain of filial piety pressed him down.
Su Wen quietly stepped back and contacted the eyeliner in the palace.
The communication between the secret guards of the Zhuzi Department mainly relies on animals. Birds and snakes can be used as tools for the transmission of messages between the secret guards. Suwen let go of a small grey bird, and the bird immediately flew towards the palace with its wings flapping, and it flew back in less than a cup of tea.
In Suwen's hand, the bird beat a few times, and then tweeted a few words. Suwen fed the bird, and the bird hovered around her for a few times and then flew away.
"It has been passed into the palace."
Xie Yunqing knew that they should all be familiar with bird language, so he nodded and asked Su to continue.
