The sky was bright, and Yu Xiaozai was a literati after all, and his spirit was difficult. Shen Zechuan asked Chenyang to take Yu Xiao to rest first, and the rest could be discussed another day. Yu Xiao was no longer reluctant, leaving behind Cen Yu's letter to Shen Zechuan, and then withdrew.
Xiao Chiye went to take a bath, and Shen Zechuan read Cen Yu's letter by candlelight. The morning light in the courtyard came in, and Shen Zechuan saw the part of Bianjun, and after waiting for a while, Xiao Chiye didn't come back. He put down the letter, opened the bamboo curtain, and walked inside along the narrow corridor. He looked around the screen and saw that Xiao Chiye had fallen asleep in the pool.
Xiao Chiye felt a little tired. He was just thinking about things at first. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep because of this thought. His cheeks suddenly became cold, and he woke up.
Shen Zechuan took a handful of water, touched Xiao Chiye again, and said, "It's cold, go back to sleep."
Xiao Chiye got up, and water splashed with a sound of "crashing". He bowed his head and buried himself in Shen Zechuan's arms, rubbing Shen Zechuan's body with water, and said in a muffled voice, "Hold me."
Shen Zechuan raised his hand and squeezed the back of Xiao Chiye's neck, and said, "Isn't this embarrassing me?"
Xiao Chiye said, "Then I will hug you."
Shen Zechuan kicked off his stubborn shoes, stretched his arms and hung his arms around Xiao Chiye's neck with drops of water, and said a little lazily, "Come on."
Xiao Chiye raised his head and pressed his forehead against Shen Zechuan, hugged him, and said, "I have seen the Beiyuan hunting ground, and it works. After cleaning it up, it can be used as a camp, even if the tower is to be built, it's all silver."
There is no light here, the light is ambiguous.
Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye were close to each other, and said, "Going west from the Beiyuan Hunting Ground is Dan City. If you want to meet the Eighth Camp in the future, this place cannot be saved."
"No hurry." Xiao Chiye used some strength to pick up Shen Zechuan and take him into the house.
Shen Zechuan knew that Xiao Chiye didn't intend to use his own money, and that the expenses of the banned army could not always be on Izuku, and Xiao Chiye was going to return to Libei soon. thinking.
"Cen Yu specially asked Yu Xiao to bring you a letter again, I must be asking for something." Xiao Chiye got into bed without taking off his robe. up and say, "What's the matter?"
Shen Zechuan had finished reading the letter. He leaned on Xiao Chiye, folded the letter, and said, "Cen Yu hopes that you can serve as the bridge between Qidu and Libei, and give everyone another chance."
Xiao Chiye narrowed his eyes and said, "They are now asking for others, so they are willing to lower their status. If the relationship between the cabinet and the queen mother is harmonious in the future, Libei will have to enter another person, either me or Xun'er. ."
The grandson Xiao Xun is now six years old, and Xiao Chiye has not seen him yet, but this does not prevent him from loving his nephew, and it is impossible to talk about it.
Shen Zechuan said softly: "Cen Yu also knows that this is impossible, so I hope I can go south, go to Qidong, and persuade Qi Zhuyin to stop the marriage."
"Cen Yu has stayed in Qidu all the year round, and doesn't know the details of Qidong. The marriage is not something that the commander said." Xiao Chiye said, "This is Qi Shiyu's going to marry Hua Xiangyi, not her Qi Zhuyin's. Qi Shiyu is going to marry. He is an old slick. Seeing that the wind is not right, he doesn't want Qidong to follow in Libei's footsteps, so he wants to kiss Qidu. What can Cen Yu and the others give Qi Shiyu? Once Hai Liangyi died and the empress ascended the throne, all previous promises were fulfilled. A piece of waste paper, they don't have any bargaining chips to impress Qi Shiyu..."
Xiao Chiye's voice became lower and lower.
Shen Zechuan silently counted a few times, turned to look at him, and he really fell asleep. Shen Zechuan opened the letter again, his eyes lingered on the word "Bianjun" for a moment, and then closed it again.
Xiao Chiye slept well because of this.

Xue Xiuzhuo did not fall asleep.
He rested in the study for several days, the matter of the princess could convince the students, but not the wily courtiers. Kong Qiu felt that Xue Xiuzhuo's use of the wind to attack the cabinet was not the act of a gentleman, and he had made several papers in a row to protest the Queen Mother's acquiescence, but they all fell into disrepair and received no response.
Deep scheming, no small plot.
Kong Qiu thought that he had taken a wrong look. He threw these eight words in front of Xue Xiuzhuo and refused to talk to Xue Xiuzhuo for a word.
Regardless of whether the princess can ascend to the throne or not, the members of the court headed by Kong Qiu did not gain any benefits in this game. They fought with Han Cheng and lost the pillar of support. Seeing that Han Cheng gave in, they killed Xue Xiuzhuo halfway through. The one who brought him was not a prince, but a princess.
Cen Yu did not admit defeat, and the official's criticism was far more intense than Xue Xiuzhuo imagined. He thinks that Da Zhou has reached the point where the emperor will be enthroned. Isn't it implying that the country is coming to an end and the world has come to an end, so there is such a reversal of yin and yang, and there is no distinction between black and white
Back then, Qi Zhuyin had been criticized many times just because he was appointed as the commander-in-chief. Now, the Ministry of Rites has scrutinized the details of the emperor's enthronement ceremony, and many places have no way to refer to it. Chaotang's scolding did not stop, and there were dozens of memorials for impeaching Xue Xiuzhuo.
"Are all the women in the eyes? ①" Pan Lin is now at the top of the household. As a son of Pan Xiangjie's old family, he has the most violent reaction in the court, "After a hundred years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a woman. As soon as the prince said it! The law of heaven is the way of heaven. Although King Yan's descendants have passed away, they still have descendants. Even if the royal bloodline is hard to find, the imperial descendants can temporarily exercise the power of the emperor, and we will find them again!"
Xue Xiuzhuo was independent in the center of the two distinct factions of court officials, and said steadily: "The king of Yan's concubines will all be his surname in the future, so should the Li family's country be changed to his surname? Government, then why not the female heir?"
"You are confounding black and white!" Cen Yu turned to look at Xue Xiuzhuo and said, "The queen dowager's ruling is to act on behalf of the emperor, not to replace the emperor's authority. As long as the prince ascends the throne, the harem will naturally return the power! But if the emperor ascends the throne in the future And the emperor, can she also return the authority?!"
Han Cheng's face was ashen, and he knew in his heart that Xue Xiuzhuo had also made a fool of himself. The old school of the empress dowager is dissatisfied because the attitude that Xue Xiuzhuo shows now is not to obey orders. He holds the princess firmly in his hands, which means that after the princess ascends the throne, he will have the influence to control the government. Words are betrayal.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was sitting behind the beaded curtain, Han Cheng said, "Besides, the Empress Dowager has been living in the boudoir for a long time, so how can she undertake the important task of taking charge of state affairs? In my opinion, after the enthronement ceremony, the Empress Dowager should still be in charge. politics."
When Kong Qiu heard this, he wanted to give up. This game was like a paste, and everyone was dissatisfied at the moment. They are not satisfied with the queen's enthronement, and they are also not satisfied with the empress dowager's rule, but what else can they do? Bacheng Deliberation Students Are Not Satisfied!
Kong Qiu wanted to beg God to drop another prince quickly! More than ten years ago, they were blinded by lard and did not allow Emperor Guangcheng to give birth to more children. If there is still an emperor's heir, how could it have reached this point
Xue Xiuzhuo raised his arm, pointed to the old stone outside the hall, and said, "The six words that the ancestors once clearly stated were 'the harem should not be in government', not 'the princess should not be in charge'! Today, the princes are so scolding me, so I dare to ask, What should I do now based on what the dukes see? Is it to dismiss the princess and establish his surname, or is the throne vacant and the queen dowager rules!"
There was a loud buzz all over the court, but no one came out to give an exact statement. It was the same with Li Jianheng when he was registered. Every step of them seemed to be pushed to the end of the cliff, and they had no choice.
If Xue Xiuzhuo had stood up a few days earlier and said that he still had a princess, then both the queen mother and the cabinet would have countermeasures, and they would all be willing to treat him warmly, but he was suppressing the dead end of each side, and he wanted to The initiative is in your own hands. Now that he has the princess in his hands, and is supplemented by the public opinion in the world, who would dare to move him at this juncture
Kong Qiu retreated. He knew that such a stalemate was not good for Da Zhou. He said: "I think the commander has a word that is true, even if the imperial daughter lives in the boudoir for a long time, even if she ascends the throne, she still needs to prepare the Imperial Classics to teach her. Teaching, during this period, the Queen Mother was still in charge and the cabinet was assisted."
They have to stand firm in the final position, which is to turn themselves into the boundary of whether the empress can independently participate in politics. Kong Qiu's meaning is very clear, only if the cabinet thinks that the empress can, she can, otherwise she can only be a student sitting on the throne forever. This is also a threat to the Empress Dowager, that is, if the Empress Dowager dares to support the Han family like Hua and Pan in the Yongyi years, then they will immediately let the Empress rule and force the Empress Dowager back to the harem.
The queen mother sat silently inside the bead curtain, and after a long while, she said: "The Aijia acted as the emperor's power day and night. Now that there is a candidate for the heir, it is really inappropriate for the Aijia to act as the emperor's authority. After the enthronement ceremony, Aijia will return to the Buddhist temple and will not be born again."
She wanted to retreat to advance, and everyone present could only kneel together, shouting: "The queen mother is the mistress of the world, and you must not belittle yourself.
"
Xue Xiuzhuo knelt in it, his back soaking wet. But he kowtowed, but he didn't refute Kong Qiu.

Xiao Chiye slept alive and well, and the oncoming news was that Bianjun had rebelled. He just finished his breakfast and was feeding Meng cross-legged under the eaves. Hearing the news, he turned back with Meng and looked at Shen Zechuan.
Yu Xiao sat down on his knees again, and quickly said, "When I heard about it, I was also shocked. How could General Lu be wrong? Kong Shangshu immediately asked the Ministry of War to check the military affairs of Bianjun, and Jin Yiwei would supervise the trial. Eunuch, it took nearly a month to realize that the military ration originally allocated to Bianjun was moldy."
Xiao Chiye was still stunned. He stood up straight, blocking the light in the room, and said, "Mould? At that time, it was only said that Qidong's military rations were halved, but they did not let them refill them with shoddy ones."
At that time, the Libei War was urgent, but Bianjun also had to fight Biansha. No matter how urgent Xiao Chiye was, he would never let Lu Guang Besai moldy food. He sent Chenyang and Gujin to supervise the two lines, just because he was worried that someone would do something with the rations, but he didn't expect that someone would do it to Bianjun.
"It's no wonder that the commander didn't come to beat me," Xiao Chiye raised his arms fiercely, with a solemn expression, "She lost Lu Guangbai, and Qi Du didn't dare to let her go north to confront us, she had to block the side. That gap in the county, but Lu Guangbai…”
That is Lu Guangbai!
Xiao Chi's ambition sank and said: "The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Bianjun are all infantry, and Lu Guangbai has nowhere to go, so he can only lead his troops into the desert. The desert is also the territory of the Biansha cavalry, so he lost his fight in Bianjun. The advantage of ambush must change his usual fighting style, why doesn't he go to lock the sky!"
Both Suotianguan and Tianfei Que are fine, and Suotianguan is Feng's army, and these two places are regarded as Zuo Qianqiu's old department. Zuo Qianqiu is now a general in Libei, and Lu Guangbai's sister Lu Yizhi is also Xiao Jiming's wife. When he goes to these two places, no one will treat him badly.
But why did he decide to go east
There are only twelve Biansha in the desert.
