Eight palace maids floated over with baskets like fairies in the sky. Yun Zheng saw it right. These palace maids really floated over. It wasn't until they walked in that they realized that these palace maids actually walked over with small steps.
, because you can’t see the skirt of the skirt fluttering, it really feels like it is floating.
Seeing this scene reminded Yun Zheng that when he watched a play in the theater in later generations, those beautiful women in Tsing Yi walked like this. In short, they looked more like ghosts than people.
Yun Luoluo has never seen anyone more beautiful than herself. Now she has been praised by the servants of the Yun family as the most beautiful woman in the Yun family. Even a stunning beauty like Er Niang cannot compare to her.
In fact, everyone knows that Miss Luoluo is indeed very beautiful, but her slightly upturned nose is a bit embarrassing. When the girl complained to Yun Zheng in grievance, expressing her dissatisfaction with her nose, Yun Zheng pointed at her own upturned nose.
My daughter said that such a nose is the most beautiful, and if anyone dares to be dissatisfied, his legs will be broken.
Yun Er also commented on this and felt that it was correct to discount both legs together.
Ever since she received such a tutor, Yun Luoluo had problems with her aesthetics. Eight ugly women floated over like ghosts, and she immediately shook the apricot branches vigorously. Amidst the screams, the eight palace maids almost
It was drowned in the pulpy apricots.
Yun Ting threw all the mushy apricots in his hand onto the palace maids, and then he ran back to his mother, pointing proudly at the embarrassed palace maids to repay his mother.
After the eight palace ladies, there are six palace ladies in red. These palace ladies are different from the palace ladies in front. They all wear tight-fitting arrow suits, carry bows and pots on their waists, and have free horses on their hips. They wave their whips lightly and look like queens.
shouted.
Yun Zheng wanted to use the Eight Ox Crossbow to cross all these women. There was only his family in the prison, and the queen's majesty could not be expressed here.
When the six maids in red saw how embarrassed the eight maids in front were, they immediately became furious. The leading lady in red raised her whip and pointed at Yun Zheng and said, "Bold!"
Yun Zheng couldn't care less about these maids, so he gave them a cold look, then pointed to the small valley on the left side of Xingqiu and said: "Get out!"
Yunzheng's reputation as a villain was not unfounded. His powerful aura prevented those arrogant court ladies from getting angry. Facing the famous villain of the Song Dynasty, the courage they had just gathered was immediately thrown away.
"The dignified and invincible general is not afraid of losing his identity even if he is arguing with some girls!" Queen Cao sat sideways on the back of a mare, with a round and rosy face under her high bun. If you didn't know
With her identity, Yun Zheng would never associate this romantic woman in colorful clothes with the noble profession of queen.
Yun Zheng must show respect to this woman both emotionally and rationally, bowing and saying: "Welcome minister Yun Zheng respectfully welcomes Queen Fengjia!"
Empress Cao glanced at Yun Zheng and said, "I'm sorry. I came to Xingqiu to pick some apricots for Your Majesty. I also came to see Madam Yun's wife."
Yun Zheng said strangely: "The first rank is a wife, the second rank is a wife, the third rank is a lady, the fourth rank is a respectful person, the fifth rank is a pleasant person, the sixth rank is an Anren, the seventh rank is a child, the eighth rank is a child of the eighth rank,
Jiupin is a ninth-grade Ruren.
What does Mrs. He Lairu, a high-ranking member of the Yun family, say?"
Empress Cao smiled and said: "In the eyes of this palace, Mrs. Ru of the Lu family of Yunmen is more pleasing to the eye. As for the lady's imperial edict, what does it mean in my eyes?"
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "That's true. The official position belongs to your family. I was wrong when I argued in front of the Queen about my wife and children.
It’s a pity that Yun Zheng is now a second-rank official in the imperial dynasty and will never be able to return to the time when he was Cheng Fenglang in Shuzhong.”
Empress Cao's pink face suddenly turned gloomy, and she immediately turned into a state of tears. She pointed at Yun Zheng and choked up: "You have just entered the official career. Who is it that you have been admonishing in front of His Majesty so that you can lead alone?"
The army went to Lingnan?
Who treated you like a brother and said all the good things to you, risking his life to vouch for you, and finally made you stand out? How did you repay him? Seeing him die in the Dali Kingdom without saving his life, you
Who can I deserve?"
Yun Zheng looked at the queen in surprise. This was the first time he saw a person who could use each other as a great way to benefit the world.
It was also the first time I saw a woman with a heart that was clearly as stone as she could in an instant package herself into a weakling who had been bullied by others.
Dealing with women has never been his strong point, especially facing a crying woman, which made him at a loss.
Lu Qingqing responded promptly: "I have met the Queen."
Empress Cao could show a little weakness in front of Yun Zheng, but she behaved like a proud phoenix in front of Lu Qingqing.
Although there were still tears on his face, his neck was already raised. He squinted at Lu Qingqing and said, "They say a husband is more valuable than a wife. In recent years, you, Mr. Lu, have received a lot of benefits from the Yun family. In other words, the dynasty's
The glory has also never left you, the Lu family.'
Why don't you advise your husband when the country needs it and let him serve the country well, but you let him have many delusions for no reason?"
Lu Qingqing said in a deep voice: "I am just a little girl. I only know how to look after my husband and teach my children. My husband is a rare general in the world. How can I dare to make irresponsible remarks about his military commander?"
This is neither in line with ministerial integrity nor in line with women’s ethics.”
The rooster Si Chen has always been a big taboo. Now that the emperor is still alive, the queen can only serve the soup and medicine, and can't show off like this in colorful clothes. Lu Qingqing's words contained a sarcastic tone. The queen met with the ministers privately and did not abide by it.
Women's Tao, what I said was very spicy.
At this time, it was obviously useless to tell the queen about the rules. Yun Zheng saw that the queen's face turned livid. In order to ease the situation, he invited the queen to dismount and asked her to sit there with him. Today's Tianlao,
It must have been blocked by the Queen, and no rumors of the Queen meeting the ministers privately have spread.
Seeing the queen sitting on the blanket, Yun Zheng found a stone and drew a map of the grassland in western Yunnan and Jianchang Mansion on the ground.
Pointing to the topography of Jianchang Mansion, he said to the queen: "Your Majesty, you should have heard from many people that Yun Zheng refused to save you. Since you met your Majesty by chance today, I might as well listen to Yun Zheng's explanation of the situation at that time. Listen to Yun Zheng's explanation of the situation at that time."
What kind of person is Zheng who refuses to save his life?"
The Queen looked at Yun Zheng for a while before saying: "I don't understand the art of military formation."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty and your Majesty are the supreme beings in the world. It is not necessary or necessary to know everything. You only need to be able to judge the situation. The way to choose is nothing more than powerful. This is not profound for your Majesty, right?
"
Empress Cao nodded and said: "This is natural. Although I am just a prostitute, I can still distinguish right from wrong."
Yun Zheng placed a big stone in the center of Jianchang Mansion and said: "This stone is Cao Rong, and it also represents the 14,000 Yongxing Army soldiers he commanded. According to the practice of one army of the country and one dynasty guarding a state,
To put it bluntly, the Yongxing Army's supervision of Jianchang Mansion has greatly exceeded the standards."
Queen Cao said angrily: "You clearly knew that Cao Rong was not good at fighting. You should have sent troops to rescue Jianchang Mansion at that time. If you had done this at that time, how could Cao Rong die in battle?"
Yun Zheng did not answer, but placed four small stones on the four corners of the western Yunnan grassland and said: "Wei Chen had eight thousand soldiers and had just pacified the western Yunnan grassland. According to the requirements of the dynasty, this area
The grassland must be firmly in our hands. Only in this way will we have enough cavalry to deal with future wars, so there is no room for failure in western Yunnan!"
The queen looked at Yun Zheng coldly and remained silent. Yun Zheng understood that the queen did not intend to mess around today, and she really wanted to reason with him.
So he continued: "In the sixth year of Qingli, the country had a total of 33,600 cavalry. In fact, this number must be cut by at least 60%. More than half of the cavalry of the country were unqualified cavalry. At most, they were only
Can be called infantry on horseback.
The Privy Council has a secret number that the Empress may not know. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty and the barbarians, there have been a total of 673 major and minor battles. Among them, the number of victories of the Chinese Dynasty was 651, and there were 10 ties.
Six times, the number of times I failed was only a mere six times.”
Empress Cao exclaimed: "This is impossible! The number of defeats in the dynasty is wrong."
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "This is true. As long as the empress calls up the files of the Privy Council's records of previous wars, she will immediately understand that this is real data."
"Since our dynasty always wins, why do I always feel that we are always losing battles?" It was the first time that Empress Cao heard someone tell her about the military battles like this, so she listened very carefully. She could not accept it no matter what.
Such a discussion.
Yun Zheng laughed miserably and said: "The six hundred and fifty-one times that the Guo Dynasty won, a total of 24,300 enemy heads were captured, while the six defeats of the Guo Dynasty resulted in 388,000 battle losses.
Fourteen hundred soldiers, this is the actual battle situation six years ago during the reign of Emperor Qingli of the Song Dynasty!"
Seeing the pain on Yun Zheng's face, Empress Cao spontaneously thought that Yun Zheng was telling the truth. These data could not be hidden from anyone. As long as she sent someone to check the files, she would know the authenticity immediately. Yun Zheng did not need to be there
These data were falsified.
"Why is there such a huge difference? Judging from the number of wins and losses, it is obvious that we have the absolute victory."
Yun Zheng knocked on the map of western Yunnan on the ground and said: "This is the reason why I stayed in western Yunnan and refused to give in even though I watched Cao Rong die on the battlefield. I even used Cao Rong to hold back the main force of the Dali army in Jianchang Mansion.
The reason for not being saved."
Empress Cao gritted her teeth and said, "Speak clearly!"
Yun Zheng picked up four small stones one by one and put them in his palm and said: "Because we need cavalry and a large number of war horses.
You just asked why we have won so many battles but killed almost ten times as many soldiers as the barbarians. The reason is that we are extremely short of cavalry.
The more than 600 victories were only rout battles, not annihilation battles. Routine battles only defeated the enemy. If our soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue them, they would fall into the enemy's trap. They would ride on their horses for a while, waiting for our infantry.
When they were exhausted from running, they took advantage of the situation and shot us back, so our infantrymen wearing heavy armor became meat on other people's chopping boards..." (To be continued)
