In the shallow water sweet porcelain wide-mouthed fish tank, the red koi suddenly swayed her tail, and the water in the fish tank splashed on Queen Mother Yan's hand, which made Queen Mother Yan come to her senses.
"This beast..." The personal palace maid next to Empress Dowager Yan hurriedly stepped forward to take the fish food from Empress Dowager Yan, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the back of Empress Dowager Yan's hand, and ordered someone to prepare clothes immediately and wait for the Empress Dowager to change clothes again.
Empress Dowager Yan was absent-minded and pulled her hand out of her maid and asked, "The Ninth Prince... I have arrived outside the palace now. I heard that Ali personally took the court officials out to greet him, so why didn't he come to tell Ai's family?
With a shout, has the Ninth Prince arrived?"
"Now the Great Zhou army is approaching. When the Ninth Prince comes back, he must discuss and discuss countermeasures with His Majesty. After the main matter is over, His Majesty and the Ninth Prince must come to the Empress Dowager's place. The Empress Dowager will be relieved." The maid comforted Empress Dowager Yan.
Empress Dowager Yan lowered her eyes and saw that there were no one else in the hall. Then she whispered in thought: "I'm afraid... Ayan will blame me and not let someone tell me."
The maid looked around nervously, and while wiping the sleeves of Empress Dowager Yan, she said, "Mrs. Don't think about it randomly. Even if the Ninth Prince is angry, the second prince has always been filial to you. Every time he comes back, he must
Those who come to pay tribute to you, but none of these two princes came. They must be discussing with Your Majesty how to deal with the Great Zhou affairs!"
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yan nodded, comforted herself, smiled and patted her close maid's hand and said, "Thanks to you by my side for many years, I have always enlightened me!"
"Where is the Queen Mother, I am just a bystander, how can I talk about my master?" Queen Mother Yan's personal maid smiled and said.
Empress Dowager Yan smiled and held the maid's hand into the back hall to change her clothes.
As soon as Empress Dowager Yan changed her clothes, she heard the eunuch outside report, saying that the uncle had quietly sent a letter to him and asked the empress dowager to go to the front hall.
"Didn't you say anything?" asked Empress Dowager Yan.
"Go back to the Queen Mother, I don't know..." The eunuch who came to report the message whispered, "The uncle only asked the slave to come and invite the Queen Mother to the front hall, and said nothing next to him."
"Empress Dowager, are you going?" the maid asked Empress Dowager Yan.
She thought for a while and said, "Go and have a look!"
Empress Dowager Yan's close maid responded, knelt down and tidied up the hem of Empress Dowager Yan, then stood up and helped Empress Dowager Yan's hand and walked out, whispering: "Transfer the sedan chair!"
Soon, Empress Dowager Yan arrived at the front hall in a sedan chair. Before she could enter, she heard noisy sounds in the hall. She paused and hid outside the hall and listened quietly.
"Meet the Empress Dowager in our country in confrontation?! Haha... Just you two prisoners, what qualifications are there to meet our Empress Dowager in Yan? It's a fool!"
"You said you came to Yan State to make a deal with our Empress Dowager Yan for Cui Shanzhong. Even if the evidence is conclusive? Who knows if you were destroyed by Xiliang, and then you deliberately provoked the relationship between our Yan State and the Great Zhou allies,
Said this on purpose!”
"Yes! Otherwise, it might be that the Great Zhou relied on its own strong troops and wanted to attack our Yan State. He deliberately found such an excuse. You were bribed by the Great Zhou. Perhaps... you are not Xiliang at all.
The confidants around Cui Shanzhong are people from the Great Zhou. It is reasonable for us Empress Dowager to see the people sent by our allies. Maybe it is your Great Zhou setting up a trap!"
The ministers of Yan State said everything, and their words became more and more angry.
"So?" Xiao Rongyan spoke slowly, "Even if this matter was set up by the Great Zhou, now the main force of Yan State is trapped in Xiliang, and the Great Zhou army has set up troops on the border of Yan State. Yan State gave Da Zhou such an explanation,
This is the Great Zhou himself setting up a trap... Can he retreat the Great Zhou army?"
As soon as Xiao Rongyan said this, he was still excited just now... The ministers who framed the tricks themselves in the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately looked at the old uncle Zhong Xingxiao with nervous expressions, and then quickly retreated into the court officials' team.
"At that time, General Chu admitted that he was betraying the Great Zhou army in front, and then Da Zhou grabbed the confidant of the old General Cui Shanzhong. He learned that it was his mother who betrayed the Great Zhou army!" Murong Ping stood with his hands behind his back, brows tightly
Wrinkle, "So even if it's about the strength of the troops, just reasoning, this matter... No matter where it goes, it's all wrong for our Yan State! The Great Zhou gave us more profits, but we stabbed us in the back, and we would definitely give up.
The people in the world are not ashamed, and they also gave Da Zhou a reason to send troops to us with legitimate reasons."
"This matter...it is indeed our Yan State betrayed the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have already found out, so there is no need to discuss it." Murong Li said slowly, "But it doesn't make any sense to investigate who is right and who is wrong about this matter.
Once, our Yan State delivered the reason for sending troops to the Great Zhou, and the loss was the first!”
He looked up and glanced over the ministers above the hall.
"Your Majesty, admit that it was our Yan State who betrayed the Great Zhou?" A court official who followed the Ninth Prince pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes widened at Murong Li, "Can they be the confidants of these two old generals Cui Shanzhong, who were beside him.
The words are true, is it true that the Empress Dowager secretly ordered General Chu to betray the Great Zhou Allied Army? So that the fifth son of the Bai family, the younger brother of the Great Zhou Emperor, was captured alive?"
The court officials who followed the Regent Murong Yan were eager to pull the ignorant wife of the Empress Dowager Yan from the position of regent. They could not help but not tell me if they could not help them all day long. The Regent assisted a young master.
It's already a headache, and I have to wipe the queen mother's butt all day long, it's simply ignorant.
Murong Li pursed his lips and said nothing. After a while, he raised his hand to signal the guard to take Cui Shanzhong's two confidants down.
When there were no outsiders above the Yan court, Murong Li said slowly: "I know that when the fifth son of the Bai family was captured alive, the Emperor of Great Zhou was furious, and the border between Yan State was held. From that time on, I was there
I think if the fifth son and seventh girl of the Bai family died this time, we should respond as we should, what will be the future of Yan State..."
Xiao Rongyan sat on the chair next to the emperor's throne, leaning lazily on the armrest of the chair. He knew that Murong Yan was going to talk about the merger of the two countries, so he listened quietly.
"I thought about it and calculated the strength of our Yan State, and also calculated with the Minister of Revenue. The grain that our Yan State can still draw out now." Murong Li looked at the Minister of Revenue.
The Minister of Revenue quickly bowed and said that this was the case.
"The main force led by General Xie cannot come back, and Yan State does not have enough food, grass and troops. Once the Great Zhou army leads its troops westward..." Murong Li said with heavy voices, "Our Yan State... actually has no chance of winning!"
The ministers in the court were silent, and even the uncle Zhong Xingxiao was silent. He knew that what Murong Li said was true, and the current situation was very unfavorable to Yan.
