The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1703: Half a stick of incense is too luxurious

The Jade Rabbit sets in the west and the Golden Crow rises in the east.

It's just dawn.

Zhao Guangyi opened his eyes and yawned.

Well, I slept well last night.

When he turned his head, he found that the person on the pillow was no longer there, only the faint fragrance lingering. He immediately sat up, only to find Mrs. Huarui combing her hair in the mirror, "You got up so early?"

Mrs. Huarui combed her hair and said softly: "Yes. Your Highness is awake?"

Zhao Guangyi was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Originally, you were going to dedicate it to my imperial brother."

Mrs. Huarui was very calm, "I know."

Since ancient times, beauties have had a bad life!

In troubled times, a woman with a "famous reputation" like herself must be the prey of powerful men!

After every war, women become the spoils of war.

Of course the most beautiful women will be sent to the most powerful men and arms!

She thinks very broadly.

If she couldn't think about it, how could she step on the bones of others from an unknown palace maid to the throne of a noble concubine?

I have been bullied and bullied others.

I have been framed by others, and I have also framed others.

So she has already understood human nature!

As the saying goes, the Hou family is as deep as the sea, let alone the palace?

Every day here I am on tenterhooks and every day I am intrigued!

Be on guard at all times and plan every day!

Reality has taught her to assess the situation and perform when she should, instead of performing randomly for the sake of superiority, otherwise she will be nipped in the bud by others!

Reality has taught her to keep a low profile and never expose her ambitions when her strength is insufficient!

Reality has taught her that she can kill with a knife, taught her that right and wrong can be reversed, and taught her that she must never be merciful as a woman!

There are no real friends in this world, only real interests!

Reality told her how difficult it is to survive in this world!

It's not easy to face, she only has two choices! Either end your life easily, or continue to live with difficulty!

The moment the gates of Shu city opened and Song soldiers poured in, she had already foreseen various endings for herself!

The best ending is to be captured alive and presented to the other side's emperor!

Secondly, he was caught and humiliated arbitrarily by the soldiers, and then his life was spared and he was left to fend for himself!

The worst outcome would be to be raped first and then killed by the rebels, leaving his body violently dead on the street!

At present, the situation is relatively optimistic!

At least this Zhao Guangyi didn't break in and kill people like a mad dog. bbb, tear off your clothes like a bandit!

He drank wine with me for at least an hour and chatted about romantic affairs for an hour. At least he wasn't annoying!

Zhao Guangyi is many times better than the imagined winner. He is handsome, speaks with ease, and even knows how to make people happy better than Meng Chang!

When she heard Zhao Guangyi say that she was originally dedicated to Zhao Kuangyin, she felt like a thorn in her heart!

pain!

so what?

Can a weak woman turn things around?

She won't let anyone see her heart! No matter how painful and helpless it is, we can only endure it!

It's just a trophy, and it has no right to make its own voice!

Zhao Guangyi said: "I will try to get you over!"

Madam Huarui's eyes gleamed, then disappeared. "I heard that your brother is not someone who will easily change his mind!"

Zhao Guangyi said calmly: "I am also a person who does not change my mind easily!"

Mrs. Huarui said: "Aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"

Zhao Guangyi's eyes flickered, "I'm afraid! But if you're afraid, won't you do something?"

If you don't do it because you are afraid, then you will live in Zhao Kuangyin's shadow for the rest of your life!

How can a man stay under human beings for a long time when he walks between heaven and earth?

Of course, for the sake of Mrs. Huarui, he didn't dare to say anything more!

Things come true!

He doesn't want others to know his true thoughts and intentions prematurely!

In a few days, he will return to the Song Dynasty to resume his life!

His heart is already burning!

Returning to the Song Dynasty means that the planned plan can be implemented!

Now the person who poses the greatest threat to the plan - Feng Jiuxiao has already stated that he will not interfere in his family affairs. The only other uncertain factors that can affect the plan are those civil and military officials!

However, most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty had a good relationship with him, and almost no one dared to act against him! Even if there is a blind person who wants to follow his eldest brother, he must be allowed to do so!

The trend is mine!

Anyone who dares to question it will have his head moved immediately!

Zhao Guangyi has already begun to look forward to the scene of him sitting in the Jinluan Palace!

After destroying Shu, whose turn is next?

Li Deming of Xixia in the west paid tribute to the Song Dynasty a few days ago. The title of the king of Xixia was awarded by the Song Dynasty. They were left to contain the Liao Dynasty and could not move for the time being!

Further west is Tubo.

The journey to Tubo is too long, and it is located in an extremely cold plateau. It is said that people have difficulty breathing there and can easily suffocate to death! Since it was a barren land, it would be too expensive to use troops to attack far away, and it would be difficult to hold on to the territory captured. It was better to wait until the time was right before considering it.

To the southwest is the Dali Kingdom.

Dali might be considered. I heard that the capital, Zhedong City, is like spring all year round. It’s a great place!

However, Dali is not close. The road in the middle is full of twists and turns. We have to pass through many natural chasms and pass through countless miasma-filled virgin forests. I am afraid that all kinds of baggage ordnance may not even be transported, and the time is not ripe.

The only mature one is Beihan!

The transportation is convenient, and the army can go directly to northern Shanxi!

Moreover, the Northern Han Dynasty has always relied on the support of the Khitan to frequently harass the Central Plains. Attacking the Northern Han Dynasty is simply a matter of fate and the people!

"Get ready these days. Let's go back to the Central Plains in a few days!"

Mrs. Huarui said: "I have nothing to prepare."

Zhao Guangyi got out of bed, walked behind her, put his hands on her soft shoulders, and said with a smile: "You mean, you can come with me at any time?"

Mrs. Huarui smiled lightly.

Zhao Guangyi will never mention Meng Chang, and Mrs. Huarui will never mention Meng Chang!

Such an embarrassing topic will only make it more embarrassing!

…………

Inside the Chui Gong Hall of the Song Dynasty Palace.

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair, and Wei Qiansui stood opposite the table.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I heard that Guangyi and the others are about to enter the city?"

Wei Qiansui said: "That's right! Fei Gezhuan just arrived. According to the time, they should have entered the city yesterday evening!"

"Conquering Chengdu without a single blow was a great achievement!"

"..."

"Why are you silent?" "Your Majesty, this is indeed a great contribution, but who should it get?"

Zhao Kuangyin was startled!

He ordered tens of thousands of troops to attack Shu in two directions. Among them, Wang Quanbin and Cui Yanjin were deployed as the chief and deputy commanders of Xichuan's camp on Fengzhou Road, and Wang Renfan was the governor. He led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry on the north road from Fengzhou southward along the Jialing River;

Liu Guangyi was deployed as the deputy capital of Xichuan's camp on Guizhou Road, and Cao Bin was the capital supervisor. He led tens of thousands of horsemen on the east road up the river from Guizhou.

The two armies met in Chengdu and entered the city at the same time!

He knew that if it were just these few people, Wei Qiansui would never ask this question!

Wei Qiansui was referring to Zhao Guangyi's role in this battle!

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Guangyi went out on my behalf, so naturally he can't compete with his ministers for credit! The credit for conquering Shu should be shared by Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin, Wang Renfan, Cao Bin, and Liu Guangyi!"

Wei Qiansui asked: "What if these five people are dissatisfied with sharing the credit equally?" As the emperor's confidant, he must list all possible problems and let the emperor be prepared!

Zhao Kuangyin pondered: "Do you think they will compete for this song?"

"Forgive me for being brave. These generals have always been competitive and unconvinced by each other. This attack on Shu is an unparalleled achievement. Whoever gets the first victory will be famous forever. How can they not fight?"

"That's right! The success of destroying Shu is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. No one would give up casually! So in your opinion, what should we do?"

"In my opinion, this merit can be divided into first, second and third grades, which can also have an motivating effect. Rewards must be merited, and punishments must be merciful! The resistance encountered by the two armies is quite different. How to distinguish the great and small merits? You can list the battle status of the two armies! For example, the number of enemies killed, the number of own casualties, the number of enemy supplies destroyed, the number of supplies captured, and the situation of own damaged supplies. Compare them one by one. If you kill more enemies and have fewer casualties, you are a good general! "

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Then let's wait until their battle reports are compiled before discussing!"

He suddenly looked at Wei Qiansui, "Do you think Guangyi will touch Mrs. Huarui?"

Wei Qiansui was stunned!

He was most afraid of the emperor asking such fatal questions!

Don't know how to answer!

No matter how you answer, you will put a noose on yourself!

"Haha, there are only two of us in this hall, and you are still so cautious? I want to hear what's on your mind!"

"Your Majesty, I really don't know! How dare you speculate on something you haven't seen with your own eyes?"

"Haha, forget it!" Zhao Kuangyin knew that since the moment he put on the dragon robe, his former brothers, friends, and colleagues have all become ministers. The huge change in status has made him uncomfortable for a long time!

The brothers who once called me big brother no longer dare to joke with me. When they see me, whether it is true or false, they will kneel in front of me and shout long live!

Eunuch Wei, who once helped him rise to prominence, was kind to me, but now he is not careful when he sees me, for fear of saying a wrong word?

Who knows how lonely you are when you dominate the heights!

Perhaps, Feng Jiuxiao is the only one in the whole world who still dares to treat herself as an equal!

"By the way, did Deputy Feng send a message from Fei Ge?"

Wei Qiansui said: "Not yet! However, his whereabouts have been reported at any time by the secret agents of the Imperial City Department."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, "You sent someone to monitor him?"

Wei Qiansui said: "How dare you! This is an agreement made with him! This way I can find him at any time! If he doesn't agree, none of the spies from the Imperial City Department will survive!"

Zhao Kuangyin was relieved, "Well, it is really necessary to know his whereabouts at all times. If there is an emergency and you can't find him, it will delay the big thing!" He stood up and walked to the door of the hall, looking at the sky.

The sky is overcast with clouds and a storm is coming.

"I always have a hunch that Guangyi has gotten too close to the military recently!"

Wei Qiansui thought about it and felt that it would be a shame for Zhao Kuangyin to pretend to be mute again!

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Jin is getting closer to the military. On the bright side, he wants to better complete the battle to defeat Shu!"

"What about thinking about the bad things?" Zhao Kuangyin looked back at Wei Qiansui.

Wei Qiansui was immediately speechless.

It turns out that the emperor had long suspected King Jin!

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I just don't want an irreversible tragedy to happen between our brothers. He is my biological brother. I think of the best in everything, no problem, but what if he doesn't? Chitose, do you think I should? what to do?"

Wei Qiansui didn't want to fall into the vortex of the royal court struggle, but now he couldn't help himself!

The complicated look Zhao Kuangyin looked at him just now made him "figure it out"!

Even if he didn't express his position at this time, Zhao Kuangyin would let it out later, saying how he expressed his loyalty to the emperor in Chui Gong Hall one day and how he scolded His Highness the King of Jin!

By that time, he would have no way out but to cling to the emperor's lap! Because King Jin will never leave him alone to disgust him!

If that's the case, why wait until that day?

And once he gets to that point, the emperor can kick him away at any time! Because my loyalty was "forced out" by the emperor, not from my heart!

For any person in power, what he needs are followers and supporters with clear attitudes, not wall-riders with ambiguous attitudes and opportunistic mentality!

What I have to do now is to clearly hold high the banner of supporting the emperor! Between the emperor and the king of Jin, you must choose the emperor with a clear attitude!

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Jin's affairs are easy to handle. When he comes back, we will directly add responsibilities to him, such as water affairs, salt administration, and even Dali Temple. They will be handed over to him. This will not only appear to be important, but also disconnect him from the military. , to avoid future troubles!”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Okay! I will listen to you!"

Now that Shu has been defeated and the world is at peace, we can concentrate on recuperating and recuperating. In three years we can start the Northern Expedition to Khitan!

……

Feng Jiuxiao and others had breakfast and prepared to say goodbye to Zhao Guangyi!

Shu has been decided, and it is meaningless for him to stay in the army. The thing he wants to determine most now is whose furnace the remaining soul of the Demon King has occupied!

Find the cauldron, eradicate it completely, and avoid future troubles forever!

Otherwise, it will resurrect, make a comeback, and the world will return to chaos!

Now the general trend of the world has basically been determined. The northern Khitan is integrating its various ministries and is unable to take care of the southern expedition. Of course, Queen Mother Xiao’s promise is also very important!

Tubo is too far to the west and poses no threat to the Song Dynasty for the time being. Xixia has always professed vassalage to the Central Plains, which will have no impact in the short term. It can even be used to contain the Khitan.

As for Dali, it is even less important.

If it weren't for the Central Plains' initial decision and all the wastes waiting to be revitalized, Zhao Kuangyin would definitely not object to conquering Dali in one go!

Feng Jiuxiao knew that small countries such as Southern Tang, Wuyue, Jingchu, and Southern Han had just been pacified, and a lot of stability maintenance work needed to be carried out. The longer the war dragged on, the more dangerous the Song Empire was!

Therefore, a timely ceasefire is also a helpless move!

Although Feng Jiuxiao rarely saw Zhao Kuangyin, he knew exactly what Zhao Kuangyin was thinking! Otherwise, he would not have placed his hope of unifying the world on Zhao Kuangyin!

When she saw Zhao Guangyi, Feng Jiuxiao knew that Zhao Guangyi must have done some indescribable strenuous activities last night! His face and walking posture were obviously different from usual.

Zhao Guangyi said: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I'm going to find the Demon Lord!"

"Are you sure he's still alive?"

"Not sure, but I have a hunch!"

"Then, be careful!" Zhao Guangyi knew that no one could stop what Feng Jiuxiao was going to do, so he stopped talking nonsense. What's more, getting rid of the Demon Lord will do him no harm at all! If the Demon Lord is not eliminated, rebellion will continue throughout the world! The Demon Lord can just find a puppet to gather some people and rise up, and then he will have to worry about it again!

Eunuch Li said: "As soon as the deputy envoy leaves, if those people from the Shushan sect come again, this old slave's three-legged cat skills..."

Feng Jiuxiao thought for a while, and suddenly pointed a finger in the middle of Eunuch Li's eyebrows!

Eunuch Li felt a warm current flowing through his body!

"I left an inner force on you, three times the glass, which can last half the time of burning incense!"

Eunuch Li was immediately overjoyed, cupping his fists and saying, "Thank you, sir!"

Three times the glass, half a stick of incense, haha!

Eunuch Li thought to himself: As long as you grasp the timing and position well, the opponent can kill even the top ten of the Nine Realms with one strike!

The time for half a stick of incense is too luxurious!

Thanks to Yudong for your strong support!
