"It's just a small friction now. When the Donglin Kingdom is annexed, Prime Minister, do you dare to conclude that the next target of the Western Chu Kingdom is not us?" Zheng Yuegui raised his eyebrows and continued: "The ambition of the Western Chu Kingdom is obvious.
Revealed, as the Prime Minister said, no matter how well their troops are deployed, it will be difficult for them to penetrate into the territory of Donglin State. And our position is exactly at the rear of Donglin State. As we all know, Donglin State's rear area is empty of troops. With the convenience of time,
But to win, the Western Chu State is interested in this. They want me to infiltrate directly from the rear, and their so-called active attack is mostly just a feint attack. After the Donglin State has transferred most of its troops to the rear,
They can then take advantage of the situation and attack the city with force. This action sounds like it calls for the two countries to join forces, but in reality it is just waiting for the enemy to happen."
What a 'wait and wait', this girl's analysis was so right, Shao Yan secretly praised, he felt that he looked so insignificant in front of this girl, this girl looks weak and not very old, but when analyzing the problem
It can be said that she covers everything, and she is truly worthy of being a female Zhuge of her generation.
"Master Wang, do you think I am right to say this?"
"This -" Wang Boyan was stunned and couldn't answer. The old guy saw that his hard-working plan was said to be worthless by this little girl. The wrinkles on his face couldn't help but get deeper and deeper, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.
Seeing this old guy showing a bitter look, Shao Yan felt happy in his heart. Although this old guy had great power and sometimes even looked down upon the emperor, he would not openly oppose the emperor's decision. Shao Yan thought to himself.
If Zheng Kai had said a few words next to him, then Wang Boyan would have been unable to do anything even with his great abilities. Zheng Kai looked at Zheng Yuegui, who was smiling, and then quietly turned his attention to Wang Boyan, and suddenly found that the old guy was looking at him.
Staring at herself fiercely, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She cleared her throat to relieve the tension in her heart and said coldly: "Yuegui said it makes sense, but I just thought about it carefully and I still think the Wang Qing family's proposal is good.
I have had this idea in my early years to unite with Western Chu to eliminate Donglin. I never thought that the Prime Minister and I would go there together. Haha, I will leave this matter to the Wang Qing family."
"Your Majesty is wise, I will take care of it now." A sly smile appeared on the corner of Wang Boyan's mouth. Before leaving, he turned around and glanced at Zheng Yuegui with disdain. He groaned, "You stinky girl, you want to fight with me. You are still very young."
Seeing that the emperor deliberately favored Wang Boyan, Zheng Yuegui was very suspicious, and a few wrinkles suddenly appeared on his pretty face. The behavior of the Western Chu Kingdom was tantamount to killing someone with a borrowed knife. Why couldn't the emperor see such a simple truth?
Why does my brother compromise with him everywhere?
"Brother Imperial——"
Zheng Kai interrupted: "Yue Gui doesn't need to say more, you just stay in the palace. When Sima Jun comes back from this expedition, I will let you two get married immediately."
Zheng Yuegui's face darkened, she wanted to go forward and reject the marriage, but in order to save Deng Bingtang, she had no choice but to nod her head reluctantly. Zheng Kai laughed happily, and suddenly turned his attention to Shao Yan. Unexpectedly, at this time
Shao Yan was standing there with his eyes closed and meditating.
"Mr. Shao, Mr. Shao"
Zheng Kai shouted twice in succession, and Shao Yan quickly woke up from his drowsiness. His eyes rolled around and he looked confused, "Why did the emperor call Xiaomin?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I heard before that Mr. Shao has always been far-sighted. Just now, Prime Minister Wang proposed to unite with Chu to attack Lin. I wonder what Mr. Shao thinks of this decision?" Zheng Kai asked sincerely.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or do you want to hear lies?" Shao Yan said deliberately, and Zheng Kaimei smiled and said: "Mr. Shao is very funny when he talks. Who in the world wants to hear lies?"
"That's easy to handle. According to Xiaomin, Prime Minister Wang's decision is very correct. The emperor did the right thing." At this point, Shao Yan blamed himself: "It seems that Xiaomin mistakenly blamed Mr. Wang.
Only after hearing Mr. Wang's advice did the people realize that he is so loyal to the imperial court. It is indeed a great blessing for the country and the people to have such a capable minister by the Emperor's side."
Zheng Kai was very happy and even praised Shao Yan for being well-informed. Shao Yan then kept saying good things about Wang Boyan around him. In short, whatever the emperor wanted to hear, he would do everything possible to cater to him. Zheng Kai sometimes
Clapping and laughing, sometimes nodding in agreement, sometimes laughing...
In contrast, Zheng Yuegui looked displeased and even suspected that she had misjudged the person. She also said that Shao Yan was the kind of flatterer who only flattered the emperor. However, this girl was talented and intelligent.
After receiving the hint from Shao Yan's eyes, she suddenly realized that Brother Shao was deliberately trying to please the emperor by saying so much.
People's will is weakest when they are happy. Zheng Kai was coaxed by Shao Yan so much that he almost forgot about it. No matter what Shao Yan asked for, he was willing to accept it. Shao Yan took advantage of him to reveal his plan when he was in a good mood. Zheng Kai thought
Without thinking, he nodded in agreement.
…
That night, it was very dark and there were occasional breezes. The late autumn wind carried a hint of coolness, giving people a chilly feeling. Big red lanterns were raised everywhere in the huge palace, and the eunuchs and maids were all there.
Carrying a lantern, walking back and forth busily
The dense osmanthus forest looked so gloomy under the moonlight, and everything was dark. At this time, Sima Jun led a group of imperial guards to pass by. They only stayed at the edge of the osmanthus forest for a moment, and then continued patrolling. These
As soon as he walked away, the two sweet-scented osmanthus branches near the roadside moved slightly. In an instant, Shao Yan emerged from them wearing a prison guard's clothes. He raised his head and took a general look around, and then waved his head behind him.
After waving his hands, for a moment, three people dressed as prison guards came to him quietly from the sweet-scented osmanthus forest. The two in front were fair-looking, but the other prison guard was a middle-aged man with a fat body and a huge head.
"Yuegui, are you sure that Sima Jun will go to the harem at this time every night?" When he was sure that no one was around, Shao Yan asked the first prisoner in a low voice. These three prisoners were none other than
Played by Zheng Yuegui, Xiaoxiang and Big Head Elephant, Shao Yan had a relationship with Big Head Elephant. He spoke with a loud voice and was known as the lion's roar. Shao Yan once witnessed him shaking the birds in the sky.
Death, so this guy never opens his mouth under normal circumstances, and this guy is very strong, probably even worse than Baimei
Before Zheng Yuegui could answer, Xiaoxiang interjected: "General Sima leads the Royal Guards around the entire palace every night. Basically, he will not tour a second time."
"Come on, don't call him a general, he's just a fart general." Shao Yan was a little impatient, and he was quite puzzled. According to the regulations of the palace, the imperial guards could only intervene in the harem during the day, and could only be responsible for patrolling the periphery at night.
So this is mainly done to prevent the imperial guards from having an affair with the harem concubines.
"Having an affair?" Shao Yan was shocked. Could it be that that boy Sima Jun had an affair with some concubine in the harem? Oh, if it is true, then there will be a good show this time, hehehe...
Zheng Yuegui and Xiaoxiang were surprised to see him react so strongly. The big-headed elephant could only nod but not shake his head. Even if the sky fell, he wouldn't be surprised.
"Yuegui, Xiaoxiang, you two wait for me here first, Datou Xiang and I will go to the harem to see" Shao Yan turned around and left without saying a word. When Zheng Yuegui heard that he was going to the harem, he immediately paled and quickly pulled his hand.
He said at the corner of his clothes: "Brother Shao, the concubines of the emperor's brother live in the harem. Men are not allowed to step inside. If they are caught, they will be quartered."
"Five horses and quarters? Haha, I'm afraid it's not me who should be quartered." Shao Yan smiled maliciously: "Besides, I'm here to catch a traitor. Your emperor brother won't be able to thank me when the time comes. Just wait and see."
"Catch an adulterer?" Zheng Yuegui and Xiaoxiang looked at each other.
"Don't you think it's strange that Sima Jun goes to the harem so late?"
"What does Brother Shao mean?" Zheng Yuegui seemed to have remembered something and said, "Could it be Sima Jun...?"
Shao Yan smiled and nodded, "You know people, they know faces, but you don't know hearts. Tonight, I will expose the true face of your future husband on your behalf."
