Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 213 The Tu family

The first person to receive the letter of surrender from King Donghua was He Heng. After reading it, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent it to Zhuang Xun in Hengdu.

He was well prepared, preparing his troops for war, collecting as much intelligence as possible, and left the decision to Zhuang Xun.

Zhuang Xun was shocked when he received the letter. The words in the letter were sincere, saying that he could not stand the suppression of the noble family. The noble family wanted to take refuge with Li Pingyuan. King Donghua wanted Zhuang Xun to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and let him live his life.

Zhuang Xun doesn't feel that he has any enlightening temperament. This letter may also be a trap that may lure him into being fooled. There is no trust between the two parties.

Unable to control it, Zhuang Xun went directly to Si Qin Mi with the letter. Si Qin Mi, who was dressed in splendid robes and jade clothes, also frowned after reading the letter. His eyebrows were furrowed in a way that made people feel pity.

Just then she was preparing to attack King Donghua, and the surrender letter was delivered. She couldn't help but wonder if there was a traitor in the team.

That's why King Donghua was so soft. Before, King Donghua acted stubbornly and resisted, and he also became a fortress.

"It's hard to make a judgment. It's quite abnormal for these ministers from aristocratic families to surrender to the enemy without waiting for Chengguo to decide the winner or lose. Aren't they all forcing each other to help others?"

After sorting out the doubtful points, Si Qinmi was also full of doubts about this letter. Even the autographed letter from King Donghua's father, King Yu, could not make him give up. Now surrendering without any conditions seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

"That's right, I'll help whoever wins. I just feel weird. Madam, what do you think?" He reached out and touched the phoenix crown on Si Qinmi's head. The gorgeous dress is so beautiful. The golden phoenix spreading its wings and ready to fly is worthy of such a dignified beauty. .

"It's strange that I have to keep this letter. Originally, our next step was Donghua Road. I hope King Jing can hold on for a while. Time is always running out."

Leaning on Zhuang Xun's belly, she looked a little tired, and the accumulation was too slow. Whether it was her or Zhuang Xun, even if they worked hard in the past few years, they still didn't accumulate much wealth.

The land conditions are insufficient. The other party has been developing for decades, and you have been developing for several years. There is no room for comparison.

"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. Just work hard and leave no regrets. Will you accept King Donghua's surrender?"

Zhuang Xun stroked Siqin Mi's delicate hair. It was much better now than when it was Jiannan. At least at that time, he didn't expect it to expand to such an extent.

"There is just a reason to send troops and quickly deal with King Donghua. Maybe we can also take action against what happened in Zhao or Cheng."

Si Qin Mi leaned on him and thought about the current situation. If he had the ability to interfere in Zhao's affairs, it would be best to do so, provided that there were no worries caused by King Donghua.

After swallowing up the entire country and harassing Zhao, Xia also had its own strategic plan.

"How can we catch up? Li Pingyuan will take action this Spring Festival. He can't wait. At most, we can deal with King Donghua this winter."

Zhuang Xun shook his head, and wanted to help King Donghua deal with the aristocratic family and deal with the stone that was always ready to hit Tianling Gai. King Jing died later, so he had the opportunity to send troops to harass Zhao.

King Jing could not survive the winter, so he had to fight against the enemy. After defeating King Donghua, he immediately went to war with Chengguo, and took advantage of Zhao Guocang to sort out Chengguo and Jizhou.

"The supply of the army cannot keep up. It is like this in winter. A small fight is nothing. If there is a big fight, we will not be able to maintain the supply. I hope King Donghua can wake up and surrender more proactively, so that we can have time to prepare. Attack on Chengguo.

I have sent a message to King Qinghe. If I am prepared, he will not be defeated so quickly and miserably. If I drag it on and deal with King Donghua, I will deal with them. "

Explaining the objective reasons and full of hope, Si Qinmi was still greedy, hoping to get more from the development of affairs and maximize benefits. Without the stubborn resistance of King Donghua to hinder it, his expectations were higher.

"Unless the King of Donghua can solve the problem of the aristocratic family in the country within a few days of sending the letter, and then defect to him, there is no hope. It is not a chess game. You have to be prepared to fight wherever you want."

Zhuang Xun was sober and said the impossible, because in the letter, King Donghua looked like he couldn't control his men. He wanted to deal with the aristocratic family, so save it. It would be good if he could cooperate internally and externally to reduce the difficulty.

"Maybe, after all, Lang Jun is very lucky, Concubine Li surrendered, and King Donghua also surrendered. The situation is favorable to us as a whole, except for the Zhao State. I really hope to hear the news that a high-ranking person in the Zhao State has surrendered. "

Si Qinmi laughed and patted Zhuang Xun's waist gently, as if encouraging Zhuang Xun to continue to work hard to use his koi skills.

"It's a good idea, Li Shaoyun, King Donghua is weaker than us. They want to save their lives and gain something, so there are arguments for surrender and betrayal. The paper strength of Zhao State is higher than ours. Who would not think of surrendering to us?" Woolen cloth."

Zhuang Xun sneered, Si Qinmi's common problem was to glorify Zhuang Xun, he knew his own business, and Zhao people were not fools.

"Isn't that Miss Lan Qiu?" Looking up at Zhuang Xun, Si Qinmi joked. The Feng Chai swayed away from Zhuang Xun's hand, and her pretty face made Zhuang Xun happy. He could be happy just by seeing her.

"Lan Qiu is a bit special." Si Qinmi mentioned Lan Qiu, and Zhuang Xun felt guilty inexplicably.

"What's wrong, what's so special about it?" Si Qinmi suddenly felt curious when he saw Zhuang Xun's troubled expression.

"She is my woman. She prefers me. No matter how difficult the beginning is, you will always be with me, no matter whether I am poor or not."

Zhuang Xun scratched his nose and laid the groundwork. He praised Siqin Mi and said that he had such confidence because Siqin Mi had started with him since the beginning.

"There are many women who prefer you. Isn't it true that Empress Xuannv is partial to you? It's a pity. It would be great if we also have someone who can be on the same level as Empress Xuannv."

Siqin Micai did not follow Zhuang Xun's behavior, although she was already recalling the days when she and Zhuang Xun cut and measured clothes for him when he was poor.

"As long as we achieve results, there will be success. Speaking of harassing Zhao Guo, I think it's a good idea. Let Si'er lead the team, which will prevent her from confronting Li Pingyuan."

Zhuang Xun planned and said that he still didn't want Li Rusi and Li Pingyuan to meet on the battlefield and kill each other.

"You are really considerate, and it makes sense, but don't worry, this time King Donghua surrenders and sends her over, so that He Heng can come back."

After thinking for a while, Si Qinmi said, he made a calculation in his mind and gave some suggestions.

"Why? She is still training new recruits." Zhuang Xun couldn't understand. Li Rusi left and asked who would train the new recruits of Zhao Guo's Xuanjia Cavalry.

"It's good for everyone. Don't you want to re-establish Sister Li's prestige now? Everyone seems to know that Li Pingyuan wants to blackmail Your Majesty into becoming a queen."

Si Qinmi knows the importance of prestige and must maintain personal prestige while being pragmatic. In the past, Li Rusi did things in the name of Zhuang Xun.

Now she must lead her subordinates in her own name. Accepting King Donghua's surrender this time is a good opportunity to express Zhuang Xun's attitude and re-establish Li Rusi's prestige.

"Yes, just letting Si'er pass like this is a bit like picking peaches, but that's it. The credit for fighting Li Pingyuan goes to Brother He."

Si Qinmi's consideration was correct. Zhuang Xun weighed the pros and cons and said that he was really eager to establish Li Rusi's prestige now, and he couldn't wait until the Chengguo and Zhaoguo really fought before letting Li Rusi go.

"My wife is very considerate, and I am only one-sided. As expected, I still need to talk to my wife to make things clear."

Zhuang Xun praised, pinched Si Qinmi's shoulders and praised her talent.

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just based on the general situation. Without intelligence or ability, no matter how thorough the analysis is, it will still catch you blind." Si Qinmi did not get carried away. He knew the upper limit of his ability so that he would not misjudge the situation. Many people She can see other people's shortcomings but not her own. She can't.

Even she knows how to pamper Zhuang Xun in moderation, not to mention herself, she will not be proud.

"That's right. It's a skill. I don't know it." Zhuang Xun still insisted that there can never be too many compliments for Qin Mi.

One is not afraid to pamper the other to the heavens, and the other is not afraid to praise the other like the sea.

"So what did you do last night?" Si Qinmi said as he enjoyed Zhuang Xun's kneading.

"Ah?" Zhuang Xun didn't expect that Si Qinmi guessed it correctly, and wondered where he was exposed.

"It's really last night. Didn't you go to sleep at Sister Tan's place? What did you do?"

Squinting her eyes slightly, she actually didn't want to explore the truth. What Zhuang Xun wanted to hide from her was of no importance.

Mainly because Zhuang Xun was feeling uneasy, she took the initiative to make it clear that she wanted to give Zhuang Xun an excuse. Then she just let it go and told him not to worry about it.

"I fucked Lan Qiu..." Zhuang Xun said hesitantly. He confessed frankly, but after being deceived, he seemed to have no choice but to confess. It happened that he was not willing to hide it from Si Qinmi.

"There are also Concubine Tang, Bi Yuexingjun, Zhi Hua, and Yunyin." Zhuang Xun's face turned red. Everyone in the harem was present except Siqin Mi. Li Rusi was not in the harem.

"Huh?" Si Qinmi was confused.

"I know it's against the rules. I was wrong. I didn't follow the palace rules." Zhuang Xun said frankly. Only after he was satisfied did he realize that he had overplayed his hand.

"He Tan, that stinky girl, why don't you know how to take care of your body!" Si Qinmi stood up with a sullen look on his face.

"I'm very good, very good, but I still have some unfinished thoughts. Besides, it's my own greed, so why should I blame Sister Tan?" Zhuang Xun quickly hugged the angry Siqin Mi, kissing her face and blowing on her.

"Really?" Si Qinmi was suspicious. Thinking about Zhuang Xun's practice, she knew it best as the training object.

"It's absolutely true, good sister, as expected of you. I thought you would scold me for not following the rules."

Zhuang Xun said firmly, touching his superior Qin Mi's belt and excusing He Tan with a smile. The beauty's waist was very soft.

"You are the emperor, what rules do you have to abide by? The rules of the harem are for your concubines. Wait, what are you going to do? It's still daytime."

Si Qin Mi felt his hands untying her belt and scolded her, but it only frightened Zhuang Xun who was still unfinished.

"Anyway, it's nothing. I'm the emperor, I want to do it..."

Compared with Zhuang Xun who was busy taking a break, others could not take any time off, because it was related to their wealth and life, and wealth was decided in these few months.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the mobilization of the army cannot be hidden from King Donghua's spies. The atmosphere in Donghua Road becomes tense, and a storm is coming.

King Donghua felt unprecedented pressure, so King Donghua hurriedly called everyone together.

In the Nuan Pavilion, the orioles were singing and the swallows were dancing. The heads of the big families were invited and gathered together, but they had no intention of enjoying the singing and dancing.

Their expressions were solemn. The mobilization of He Heng's army represented the offensive that would be launched next spring. At this time, it would be the turn of King Donghua's side to take over.

"The enemy has the intention of attacking. How should you respond, family heads?" King Donghua sat high on the throne, raised his wine glass, and asked the courtiers in the audience.

Some of them are not considered his ministers because he has not ascended the throne. These are the aristocratic families that King Yu had killed at that time. They have no official positions, and many of them have not been granted official titles. However, these all represent the largest aristocratic families in the Yu Kingdom.

Most of them are here, and the others in Yindu are basically dead and massacred by the refugee army, so these are the last big families in the Yu Kingdom.

The people below were whispering to each other, and the discussion was buzzing, but King Donghua raised his wine glass for a long time, but there was no response.

"Qian Aiqing, what do you think?" Since these aristocratic families did not speak, King Donghua became the model.

"I believe that there is nothing to worry about. We can just stick to it. According to the established strategy, we will stick to Qiu City and form a solid support. The mountains serve as the horns and the Donghua Road is impregnable."

Qian Xinzhao has some way to do it, but there is no way he can do it, but he is not a wizard who can turn things around in desperate situations. If you ask him to say it, he can only say Che Lulu's words.

"The enemy's force is so strong that standing firm is not an option. We must find a way out. Now Zhao's energy is tied up in Yuzhou and there is no way to support him."

Although he was not involved in the two countries, Jing and Zheng, and the State of Zhao would not help, King Donghua always had to find a reason, and it was impossible to say that it was because of himself that he was in trouble.

"I think it's time to ask Chengguo for help now. Yucheng has been repairing the country for generations, and he has just been inclined to unite. He can attack the rebels from two sides."

When it came to Cheng Guo, Qian Xinzhao gained some confidence and a sense of confidence burst out of him because he had already convinced most of the people to surrender to the enemy.

"If it doesn't work, we can surrender to Chengguo. The King of Henan will also treat you well and can protect your highness's life." At this point, Qian Xinzhao said, forcing the palace.

"Promise yourself to Chengguo?" King Donghua sneered while shaking his wine glass.

"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the Zhao State cannot hold on without support. Zhuang Xun is so ambitious that he has arrogated the throne and is desperate. The best way is to surrender to Cheng Guo."

Qian Xinzhao's speech became more and more relaxed. If he could convince King Donghua, that would be the best, and there would be no need to force him.

"You all think so." After drinking the wine in one gulp, King Donghua stood up and looked at the ministers.

"Your Highness is wise!" Everyone leaned down and knelt down, their attitude made it clear that they didn't want to force the emperor to go to the palace, but at this point it was no longer possible not to force the palace.

King Donghua sells them no matter how he sells them.

"Clang..."

In the silence, a wine glass hit the ground with a crisp sound. Everyone looked up. King Donghua had already left with a wave of sleeves, and a group of swordsmen and axemen filed out.

Blood soaked the hall.

King Donghua is quite similar to King Yu in some respects.
