The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 578 Changed
In the Hall of Qinzheng, Li Ling drew up a list of generals who would conquer the vassal kings.

Point Zhou Jin as the commander, Hu Dahai as the vanguard, and Pei Yunqian as the deputy general. After the first month, they went west to conquer King Li.

There are fifteen vassal kings in Daqi. Since Zhao Xuan took the lead to withdraw the vassals, seven vassal kings followed up. But he had another idea. Although he didn't expressly resist the order, he didn't obey it either.

This is dissatisfaction.

The vassal king dominates one side, and he is used to the free life of the local emperor, so he is naturally unwilling to be strangled by the neck now.

Jing Shu sat beside her husband grinding, looked at Li Ling's plan, and asked, "How long will it take for this battle to be settled?"

Li Ling put down his imperial pen and replied: "The reason why King Li dared to resist the edict was because of the Gaoshan Kingdom. I have already known that he has secretly colluded with the Gaoshan Kingdom all these years."

"There is also this King Yuzhang, who is also in cahoots with King Li. As for King Jing, he and King Li are relatives. This man is cowardly, and he must have been persuaded by King Li to disobey his will. As for the entrenched King Xuan in Shu, because of the precipitous nature of Shu, easy to defend but hard to attack, that's why he dared to be confident."

Jing Shu said worriedly: "Even if the three soldiers of King Li and King Jing and King Yuzhang are together, there are only 10,000+ troops, which is not enough. I'm afraid that the Gaoshan Congress will take advantage of the chaos to intervene."

Li Ling looked at his wife and said with a smile: "The Gaoshan Kingdom will definitely take the opportunity to invade the frontiers. It's just in time. I have long wanted to deal with them."

"After the three kings are pacified, I will have a way to regain the land of Shu without any effort."

The news that the emperor dispatched troops and decided to put down the three kings spread throughout Beijing within a few days.

Zhao Xuan heard about this while drinking with friends in a restaurant, he couldn't sit still immediately, left his friends and hurried back home, it happened that Mrs Xie also heard about this today, she saw her husband Looking flustered, he said helplessly: "This matter has long been expected, and we have not resisted the decree, why are you panicking?"

Zhao Xuan poured a cup of tea: "It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast. Well, it's less than a month, and His Majesty is going to send troops. I heard that 30 troops will be raised. Oh, 30. The king's fief has been flattened."

Mrs. Xie leaned firmly on the soft couch and said with a smile: "That can't be done. Could it be that the shore of the land is the land of the king, and the land of the vassal belongs to the emperor, right?"

"Oh, it's about this time, you still have the mind to joke around." Zhao Xuan sat down in front of his wife, looked at Xie Shi and said, "Tell me, after His Majesty has dealt with the three kings, will he deal with us in turn?"

"Don't they all say that the emperor is ruthless?"

Since Zhao Xuan was born, the Supreme Emperor Mingdi was in power. Mingdi was weak and used soft tactics both internally and externally. Now that he suddenly saw Li Ling's vigorous methods, Zhao Xuan couldn't help feeling flustered.

Mrs. Xie glared at her husband: "No, don't scare yourself."

Zhao Xuan was still worried, and said again: "Do you think we should make another note and voluntarily hand over the jurisdiction of the vassal land? Didn't the other vassal kings hand it over?"

Xie said: "Sooner or later, we have to pay, but there is no need to worry. We are not the ones who take the lead in the withdrawal of the feudal clan. Just rest assured, the emperor will not embarrass us in a while."

Hearing what his wife said, Zhao Xuan felt at ease.

He changed the subject again, he was talking with his wife, when Tao Yao came in to offer ginseng tea for Xie Shi, Zhao Xuan's eyes were involuntarily glued to the beauty.

After Taoyao went down, Mrs. Xie asked him: "Have you taken a fancy to this girl?"

Taoyao is a beauty, not something that ordinary men can resist.

Although Zhao Xuan likes beauty, he is not completely confused. He hurriedly replied: "It is true that she is beautiful, but I just take a second look, Madam, don't think too much."

Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "What's the matter, Mrs. Meng and I are both pregnant now, and you have no one around, so it's normal to buy someone for you."

The husband and wife were talking, and the Meng family sent someone to invite Zhao Xuan to come over. This time it was not a stomachache, but dizziness.

Zhao Xuan was not as happy as usual, but it passed.

Seeing Zhao Xuan, Mrs. Meng complained: "You stay with her whenever you have time. If I don't invite you, you won't remember our mother and son."

Zhao Xuan frowned, and replied: "Since you were pregnant, I have stayed with you for eight out of ten days, and you are still not satisfied?"

Seeing Zhao Xuan's displeasure, Meng felt puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Did she tell you something? You've been acting weird these days?"

Zhao Xuan sneered, and said sullenly: "What can she say? Madame is not like an ordinary woman, she has a heart, and never whispers such trivial things in my ears."

When Meng Shi heard this, she fell silent.

After a long while, I shed tears again.

Seeing her crying, Zhao Xuan walked to her side and said, "Don't you always think too much, don't you know my heart for you?"

Meng Shi threw herself into his arms and cried, "I'm just afraid, I'm afraid you'll change your mind."

Zhao Xuan said lightly: "I won't." After speaking, he took off his clothes and said, "Go to sleep, I'm tired."

The candle was extinguished, and the room was plunged into darkness, but Meng Shi was sleepless.

Zhao Xuan has been very unusual recently, which makes Meng's heart fluttering, and she is very uneasy.

It was deep at midnight, and most people had fallen asleep, but candlelight was still burning in an elegant boudoir in Gaomen Liu Mansion.

Liu Dongqing is writing at the desk.

She frowned slightly, her expression concentrated, until her stepmother Jiang walked in, Dong Qing stopped the wolf hair in her hand.

She raised her eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on her delicate face like a lotus: "Mother, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Jiang Shi smiled and said, "You know it's late too?" As she spoke, she lowered her eyes to the words Dong Qing was writing, and praised: "Good words!"

He said again: "Your calligraphy is really unique, you have practiced it so well, why are you still working so hard?"

Dong Qing stared at the writing on the desk, and murmured: "Mother praised it absurdly, so there must be someone who can write better than me."

Jiang said angrily: "You are a daughter's family, and you don't want to be tested for fame. Why do you have to work so hard?"

He persuaded again: "You will get married in a few days, you should put your mind on this right now."

Dong Qing smiled faintly: "Mother has already taken care of everything about getting married, so why does my daughter need to worry about it?"

Although this daughter is not her own, but she is beautiful, intelligent, well educated, supported by the Queen, and will marry into a noble family of the Duke's family, so Jiang Shi dare not neglect her in the slightest.

Jiang Shi smiled and said: "I have carefully looked at the wedding dress you ordered someone to send over today."

Dong Qing asked: "Mother thinks it's okay?"

Jiang replied: "Of course it is appropriate, but you didn't embroider this yourself, did you?"

In order to show off women's femininity and craftsmanship, nowadays women embroider wedding dresses by themselves when they get married.

Dong Qing said: "Mother has good eyesight, this wedding dress was indeed embroidered by Lian'er for me, but the phoenix eyes were indeed made by myself."

Jiang said angrily: "The eldest son of the government is the dream of thousands of girls in the capital. If you marry him, I don't know how many people will be jealous. You are born with a child, but you are not at all. Heart."
