"Don't worry, Queen Mother! No matter what, my little girl will definitely know and be able to take the Queen Mother and Emperor Chu away..."
When the ministers of Chu left, Ah Qing looked at the Queen of Chu Li Yanyan who looked sad and complicated, and comforted and reassured her in a low voice.
This was originally the main reason why A Qing was left in Chu Ting, and it was also the first task assigned to A Qing by his master Wu Xin!
"Then please leave it to Ah Qing!"
Li Yanyan forced out a smile and responded, paused, looked a little dazed, looked out the window worriedly, and murmured faintly:
"Come to think of it...it's almost time!"
"When is it almost time?" Ah Qing asked doubtfully.
Li Yanyan shook her head and replied: "It's nothing! Ah Qing has been suffering so much lately!"
At this moment, Qu Liu, the Juan man who had been waiting silently on the side, bravely advised:
"Queen Mother, don't blame the ministers too much! When the report of the battle in Northern Xinjiang came, Lord Mengchang (Da Qi Tianwen) protested many times, which was quite strong, and the pressure on the ministers was also great! Now that the Qiu Shang disaster broke out, representatives of the four countries
All the ministers are unable to bear the pressure, and the atmosphere is becoming tense!"
You must know that the main responsibility of Juanren's official position is to serve the monarch, which refers to the close servants. Qu Liu said this, and he was suspected of colluding with ministers and interfering in government affairs.
It's just that Emperor You is still young, and the Queen of Chu "listens behind the curtain to listen to politics." Therefore, the great Chu Juan people have risen with the tide. They usually serve as the mouthpiece of the Queen of Chu, and they often have contact with government affairs!
"It seems... Dachu has been weak for a long time and enjoyed himself for a long time, bending and corroding the backbone of all the ministers!"
Li Yanyan glanced at Qu Liu with bright and clear eyes, and said lightly, causing Qu Liu's expression to change, and he quickly bowed down to apologize!
"The mighty Chu State, now our army is fighting bloody battles on the border, and Chu Ting is actually threatened by mere foreign envoys. What use does the Great Chu have for them?"
Li Yanyan stared at Qu Liu sharply with her beautiful eyes, and shouted with some gritted teeth. She was not only angry at the reaction of Qu Liu and other Chu officials, but also at the actions of the envoys from the four countries, as well as the cowardice and powerlessness of herself and Da Chu!
Qu Liu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly reacted. He touched his forehead to the ground and begged for punishment again: "You humiliated me and I will die! I am obsessed with ghosts, please forgive me!"
However, in the hearts of Qu Liu and the ministers before him, they were not afraid of death, nor were they angry or angry. They were sad about the current situation of Chu, and their advice to the Queen Mother was just to take the overall situation into consideration!
Li Yanyan sighed secretly and said in a deep voice:
"Survival! Recently, pay more attention to the situation in the Forbidden Palace and Chu Ting, pay more attention to the status of the Forbidden Army and Imperial Army, and even the Chu Ting garrison. Strengthen defense, patrol and training, and be ready for war at any time!"
"I obey your orders, thank you Queen Mother for your grace!"
Qu Liu thanked him and stood up, but he felt awe-inspiring in his heart. He also understood that Empress Chu would not hesitate to fight and would never compromise even if the Chu court was in chaos!
…
Time is running like water, and seven or eight days have passed in the blink of an eye. The hot discussion storm about the Qiu-Shang War has not subsided, but has become more and more intense.
Because as time went by, the specific circumstances of the Qiu Shang Battle, especially the various huge losses, including casualties, warehouses being robbed, goods being robbed, three True Spirit Treasure Ships, etc., spread, causing an uproar immediately!
Those three True Spirit Treasure Ships alone were enough to shock the sea of stars, making countless people and countless forces discuss, envy, envy, hate... and even ridicule!
However, although Empress Chu Li Yanyan did not explicitly say so, and the Imperial Court of Chu did not explicitly reject it, Empress Chu's determination not to hesitate to fight still spread, and the officials of Da Chu also wisely stopped trying to dissuade her. After all, the benevolent emperor had disappeared.
There has been no more war. It is said that the elites and strong men of the Three Kingdoms are jointly chasing and killing them. They can no longer think about continuing to guerrilla!
At the same time, the atmosphere in the prosperous Chu Ting became increasingly tense and depressing!
Not only the daily defense of the Imperial Guards in the Forbidden Palace has been increased three to five times, but also Chu Ting is patrolled by Imperial Guards 24 hours a day, which is several times closer and more severe than usual, except for the explicit curfew!
Because why...
Everyone understands it!
There is a tense war in Northern Xinjiang outside, and envoys from the four countries are watching inside. War and civil strife may break out at any time!
This day...
The leaders of the four kingdoms including Mengchang Jun Tianwen, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, Changxin Hou and other leaders gathered together again.
Not only was Chu Ting nervous, but the garrisons and embassies of the four countries were also nervous. They were also afraid that the Chu army would suddenly send troops to siege, siege, and suppress!
"We have received a letter from Northern Xinjiang. Everything is ready. The war will be launched at noon tomorrow. It is time for our actions to begin, right?"
Mengchang Jun Tianwen looked at the three of them and spoke directly to the point.
His eyes lit up, and he shouted with dissatisfaction: "It should have started long ago, why wait until now? Chu Ting is also well prepared!"
"So what if you're ready? Let's take action together. No matter how many Chu troops there are, it's useless. It's just a pity for Brother Huang (Chunshen Jun Huang Xie), otherwise it would be even more foolproof..."
Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng also eagerly echoed, paused, the disdain in his eyes flashed, and quickly added:
"Of course, now that Marquis Changxin has replaced Lord Chunshen, he will not lose the prestige of Brother Huang. If Marquis Changxin is willing to stay in Xinghai, he will definitely be able to complement and revive the reputation of the Fourth Young Master!"
He perked up quite eagerly, shook his head and said hesitantly: "What a pity... Your life is on your side, so you don't dare to act rashly!"
"I think it's a pity that you didn't hook up with Empress Chu... With your pretty face, it's strange that Empress Chu would like you, and you still want to steal Da Chu?"
Lord Mengchang and Lord Pingyuan looked at each other and secretly slandered them in their hearts, but now they also need to contribute to Da Qin, so naturally they won't say it clearly!
Mengchang Jun Tianwen looked at Wei Wuji and asked, "What do you mean by Xinling Jun?"
"Why……"
Wei Wuji's face changed several times, and he responded with a long sigh: "The emperor has decreed that Qiu Shang must be avenged, so of course I have no objection!"
Wei Wuji felt that he and Da Wei were really innocent!
Among the envoys from the four countries, Wei Wuji considered himself the most kind to Chu, compared to the other three!
Among the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, the Qi Army and the Zhao Army were quite active, provoking the Dachu border almost every day. The Wei Army was a little better, that is, when heavy troops were assembled, they made waves in the northern border and were not too active!
Fortunately now, Da Qi's commander-in-chief Anping Juntiandan was only seriously injured by Li Huang's surprise attack. The casualties were not many and could be ignored, but his reputation was only damaged. Even if Empress Li came to guerrilla Qi, she seemed to be exterminated and plundered.
There are dozens of islands. In fact, the casualties are nothing. Any country can afford it.
Not to mention Zhao State, only a few islands on the border were harassed.
The Wei State was the worst and most unlucky. Not only was the famous commercial island Qiu Shang Judao was maimed and plundered, even if it was not completely destroyed, it could be considered disabled, but a huge amount of material wealth was also robbed, especially the three True Spirit Treasure Ships, which made the Wei State feel
Somewhat crippling!
Now that Emperor Wei had issued an order, he even sent out the imperial guards and a large number of powerful men to track down and kill Li Huang and his party. No matter what Wei Wuji thought, he had to risk everything, that is, revenge!
"That's good! Brother Wei Xian, don't worry, Qiu Shang's losses will be made up for in Chu Ting this time, and maybe the three true spirits can be recovered!"
