You Miao's nose was sour, and she wanted to laugh again. She looked and looked, sighed, and a voice said from behind: "Why are you so happy?"
"It's nothing." You Miao folded the letter. Seeing that it was Zhao Chao, he replied, "Li Zhifeng learned from our letters, but he wrote them well, but the syntax was a bit poor, and he was blunt, so it was funny."
Zhao Chao threw the bait next to You Miao and said, "I'm going to let Li Zhifeng send troops."
You Miao nodded and said, "Are you ready to attack the city?"
Zhao Chao snorted and said, "It's better to fight quickly, try to capture Da'an before the big cold, and the spring will start next year, and there may be changes."
You Miao said: "There are still places that need to be discussed in detail."
Zhao Chao said: "Come to the study later and chat with the ministers. I'll go see the queen first."
You Miao nodded, Zhao Chao left, You Miao knew that Zhao Chao was actually doing two things with one mind, and Qiao Rong was about to give birth, probably in the past few days, I hope everything goes well.
After Zhao Chao left, someone came over, and it was Lin Luoyang, the Minister of Punishment.
"Master Shen." Lin Luoyang said politely.
You Miao stood up and returned the salute to Lin Luoyang. Lin Luoyang hesitated, with a complicated expression. You Miao immediately guessed the inside story and asked, "How are Li Yan and the Pingxi family?"
"The imperial guards sent troops to guard the two residences." Lin Luoyang said, "No one can enter. The Pingxi family is crying and dizzy. They haven't seen his body yet. Let's see... how to solve it."
You Miao sighed, "Your Majesty hasn't opened his mouth yet, and he won't mention this recently..."
"The Li family and the Tang family are related by marriage." Lin Luoyang said.
You Miao nodded knowingly, knowing that Li Yan was implicated in Taiguang. The marriage between Li Yan and the Tang family was a marriage contract made when they were still in Beijing. Now that the Tang family in Jiangnan is prosperous, Zhao Chao should not be slaughtered. The whole Tang family. You Miao's biggest wish is to let Zhao Chao only ask the person in charge, not to involve the family members.
"The Ping family and the Tang family don't know about it?" You Miao asked.
Lin Luoyang shook his head: "I don't know, I went to see it a few days ago. Seeing that the Ping family was trembling and afraid to leave the house, the whole family hugged and cried in the mansion. Mrs. Ping asked me to beg you..."
"It is a crime to make trouble." You Miao murmured, "This crime is unforgivable, it depends on Your Majesty's mood."
"The Ping family is a hereditary marquis." Lin Luoyang said: "General Ping has been an official for three generations, and he is also a general. In the past, he made great contributions to Tian Qi and recommended Nie Dan.
You Miao sighed: "I can only try to make the Heike family demoted to a commoner, exiled to the army, and the wife and daughter to serve as officials and prostitutes. You can cut it off first, and go to the Jiaofang Division. I will try to make some money with you to keep the Heike family members. Innocent, wait until the limelight passes, and then set up a village in Yizhou to let them spend the rest of their lives."
Lin Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This method is very good, I'm afraid of His Majesty's side..."
"I'll try it." You Miao said.
You Miao separated from Lin Luoyang, so she wanted to go out of the palace, go to the Ping's house, send someone back to the villa to get some soothing medicine, and prepare a gift for the little nephew, and then went straight to the backyard of the palace, guess what? But he was stopped by the guards.
"Your Majesty ordered it." The guard said, "If you don't have an important matter, don't leave the palace at will."
You Miao's expression changed immediately and asked, "What do you mean?"
The guard said apologetically, You Miao said, "Where's Tang Hui?"
The guard said: "Master Tang is guarding Yangzhou, not in Maoxian."
You Miao said: "Isn't there any reason, I'm going out of the palace, can you still stop me?"
Just as You Miao was about to rush out, he alerted the guards outside the palace. Many people blocked the way and saluted with fists.
"Sir, you know." The guard said, "Don't make things difficult."
You Miao and these guards have fought side by side, and naturally it is impossible to fight with them. However, if the guards do not let him go out of the palace, the matter will be serious. What does this mean? You Miao stayed in the palace for several days, and never even thought about this level...
"Make it clear." You Miao said solemnly, "Is Your Majesty asking you to look at me and not let me out of the palace?"
The guards didn't dare to make a sound, You Miao took a step back, finally feeling the danger, turned around and left.
In the imperial study, Zhao Chao was discussing matters with the ministers, and there was a sand table on the table. After You Miao arrived, he calmed down, pretended to be nothing, and glanced at the sand table. It was a deduction for attacking Da'an.
"Tu Risheng went to the left wing, and Li Zhifeng was in the middle." Zhao Chao said: "Da'an is not like Yanbian. It was originally a military center. By besieging the city, it would not take three years."
You Miao pulled out his flag and said, "The North City Gate is the weakest. When we entered Da'an, we had already inspected it, and some people robbed the North City Gate..."
"How to get in?" Xie Hui asked.
"From here." You Miao pointed to another mountain and said, "Wait until the first heavy snow comes in the winter. The bigger the better, the chariot pushes the snowball towards the city wall. Forcibly attack the top of the city wall..."
The ministers studied it, and finally had to admit that You Miao's strategy was the best, and now the siege, the ladder, the wood, and the damage to the soldiers were too much. Once the temperature is low, as long as water is poured on the city wall in Da'an City, an ice wall will form. The ice wall is extremely slippery and difficult to use. Only by stacking the barriers and rushing to the height of the city wall can you have a chance of winning.
The chariot pushed the snow close to the city wall, which could not only block arrows, but also form a gentle slope.
In the end, it was agreed that this should be the basis, so that Tu Risheng and Li Zhifeng could respond flexibly.
You Miao really didn't think that Zhao Chao's return at this time was the right choice, but no one dared to say a word. Ping Xi's family was detained because of the rebellion. Li Yan was imprisoned in the sky prison. Waiting for death in a long ordeal.
You Miao and Zhao Chao were left in the study, You Miao sighed.
Zhao Chao looked up at You Miao and asked, "Are you still worried about Da'an?"
You Miao shook his head and said, "What will your majesty do to the sinner of the rebellion?"
Zhao Chao's face was gloomy and uncertain. For many days, no one dared to mention this in front of Zhao Chao, for fear of offending the emperor's rebellious scale, but You Miao had to say it. After all, although Pingxi and Li Yan had more lives than others, their clansmen did not know it at all.
Among the people, Lin Luoyang and Qin Shaonan were the only ones who had a good relationship with You Miao at the beginning, and they had vaguely reminded them, but You Miao also had excuses—there were excuses for destroying the family, and there were excuses for letting go.
"Zhao Zhuang has already been buried in the ground." Zhao Chao said casually: "The night before, I asked a few dudes to take the body to the underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum, and still give him a place."
You Miao nodded, and Zhao Chao smiled again: "During the autopsy, it was found that he had become a eunuch. You said it's ridiculous."
You Miao froze in her heart and asked, "How come?"
"Most of the time he was castrated by He Motieer when he surrendered to the Tatars." Zhao Chao sarcastically said: "The emperor of a dignified country has become a eunuch. When he went to war outside, he returned to seize power at home."
You Miao was speechless for a long time, and Zhao Chao also felt that his tone was too much, so he comforted: "Fortunately, with you and Tang Hui in charge, there is no trouble at all."
You Miao nodded and said, "I wonder what Your Majesty is going to do with the Heike?"
As soon as Zhao Chao heard it, he knew that You Miao wanted to intercede for the Hei family, and his face changed immediately. You Miao knew that the rebellion, the throne, the status... these were all his rebellious scales. After bumping and bumping all the way for so long, how could he not be able to understand his temper? But the lives of the young and old of the Heike family are now tied to You Miao. If You Miao does not say anything, no one will mention it again.
"How do you want me to deal with it?" Zhao Chao said coldly.
You Miao bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking courage. Three generations of the generals of the Hei family have made great contributions to Tianqi. When His Majesty marched into Goryeo, only the old General Ping stood up and spoke for His Majesty..."
"If you have something to say, just say it." Zhao Chao said solemnly: "Do you want me to let the Heike family go?!"
You Miao was silent, and Zhao Chao said: "It's impossible! Rebellion, no matter which dynasty you put it in, is a serious crime! You Ziqian! You shouldn't be naive enough to think that just a few words will let me let go. A family of sinners who rebelled!"
"Your Majesty!" You Miao said earnestly: "The guilty minister Pingxi has died, and the matter of the past has been completely resolved. From then on, His Majesty has been through the ages, and the Dragon Court has been stable, and the people of the Ping family have not participated in the rebellion. Your Majesty is here. When the time comes to spread grace, I will appease all the officials in the court. With this mind, Your Majesty's country will not be afraid from now on..."
"Enough!" Zhao Chao said: "You can give you anything you want, only this one is impossible!"
Zhao Chao roared, stepped forward and put his index finger against You Miao's collarbone, and said coldly, "Shut up if you're interested! I didn't pursue you for your private meeting with Zhao Ye in Yizhou, but I trusted you..."
"That's why Your Majesty put me under house arrest in the palace?" You Miao said abruptly, and Zhao Chao was at a loss for words.
You Miao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please think carefully about what your minister said. After all, from now on, Your Majesty is no longer invincible, and what happened in the past is no longer important. Although the rebellion has been suppressed, the hearts of the people are now in the heart of the people. Panic, as soon as Pingxi and Li Yan go, I will have to recuperate for a long time. The ministers are afraid of your liquidation.
Zhao Chao turned around, You Miao stopped talking, exited the imperial study, and closed the door.
