Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 265 Don’t give up

After walking out of the Yangle Palace, Zhuang Xun felt that his bones were three points lighter and his feet were a little flaccid. True or false was not important, only the vibration was important.

Even the Yin Fu Jing of cultivation is not enough in front of a practitioner who wants to forget his troubles. It is because he fails to live up to his expectations and forgets about himself.

It felt better than when he left to exchange for King Zhao. It seemed that he had really conquered Queen Mother Jiang. He was tolerant and gentle, had a cold face and a coquettish voice, and was drunk with lotus.

They stayed together like glue until dawn. Zhuang Xun, who was full of sleepiness, did not dare to stay and left Yangle Palace.

I feel that if I continue, I will fall into Zhao Guo's treacherous scheme and be sucked to death by Zhao Guo's beauty trap. Secondly, I have to accompany Li Shaoyun today.

"What were you doing last night?" Si Qinmi saw through Zhuang Xun's current state at a glance, and without even saying hello, he began to ask distressedly, and hurriedly supported him with He Tan.

Because Li Shaoyun works in the imperial study, Si Qinmi and He Tan are also there. Now the final review of state documents is here, and the three of them are responsible for the work of the cabinet.

"I was squeezed dry by Jiang Zhaoyi." Zhuang Xun said with lingering fear and some aftertaste. It would be nice to come here once in a while.

"Is it because of you or because of her, Brother Xun." He Tan snickered, a little naughty but also caring.

"What do you think, of course it's me, what's the reason for Jiang Zhaoyi?" Zhuang Xun could only complain that he was lustful.

"Maybe it's too beautiful." Li Shaoyun said with some jealousy. Zhuang Xun wanted to sleep with her today, looking like this.

"Indeed!" Zhuang Xun was puzzled by Feng Qing, maybe he just deliberately opened up a topic.

"How beautiful is it?" Ignoring Li Shaoyun who was a little nervous but still maintaining her demeanor, it was Siqin Mi Tongzhuang Xun's intention.

"It's so beautiful. Do you think it's really possible for a person to be completely conquered mentally?" After taking Si Qinmi's words, Zhuang Xun didn't think he could understand Empress Dowager Jiang's sincerity, so he relied on the path and asked his wife for help at home. Bar.

Li Rusi was still maintaining stability in Shou'an and Fangyu, and now the first wife and the second wife were the most important court roles in the Xia Kingdom.

"Perhaps, my concubine is not completely conquered by His Majesty." Li Shaoyun said after the embarrassment subtly resolved the embarrassment.

"Seriously, Jiang Zhaoyi..." Zhuang Xun slowly told what happened these days, hoping that these people would give him some advice.

Si Qinmi knew about Empress Dowager Jiang's previous behavior. After listening to Zhuang Xun's story and thinking deeply, He Tan took the initiative.

"Okay, isn't it just that foxy girl who seduced Brother Xun, and Brother Xun protected her?" He Tan snorted coldly. Being able to play Zhuang Xun like this is enough to show how charming Queen Mother Jiang is.

"That's because I'm horny. It's not like you don't know. I have poor concentration. I don't blame others. I can't help it when she strokes her hand on her white thigh. It's my problem."

Zhuang Xun knew the difference very clearly. Anyway, he wouldn't do anything like being wanton and indulgent, galloping a horse, holding up his pants and not recognizing anyone after finishing the work. He blamed others for being too coquettish because of his own weak will.

"Is it that exaggerated? What's wrong with Chen Concubine and the others?" Li Shaoyun pouted, really not understanding what was wrong with him.

"Maybe your son is not the King of Zhao. You should be lucky." Zhuang Xun said with a laugh while grabbing Li Shaoyun's clothes.

Empress Dowager Jiang has this special attribute. In the impression that Zhao Guoqiang and Xia Guo were weak, they severely destroyed the mother of a powerful monarch. This sense of conquest is too satisfying for people's desire to conquer.

Zhuang Xun knew it was not good, but it was too comfortable and he couldn't refuse. It was despicable, but it felt good.

"You are so slutty..." Li Shaoyun couldn't say any more, because Zhuang Xun was her man, and Si Qinmi and He Tan were beside her.

"Okay, don't be angry, I know I was wrong." Zhuang Xun took Li Shaoyun and shook her hand.

"You won't change it next time, right?" Si Qin Mi said teasingly to Zhuang Xun, who was showing weakness, with a tolerant smile.

"Uh... I'm not sure I can change it, ma'am..."

Zhuang Xun looked at him for a long time, but his mind was exposed, and he hesitated to make any guarantee.

"Pay attention to your health. Although you have the secret method given to you by Master Qingluan and you have taken the elixir she gave you, you cannot consume it randomly."

Si Qinmi is not jealous, she is worried about Zhuang Xun's health. Zhuang Xun has been practicing the magic of the house for a long time and has the elixir as a base.

She was nourished by him and even had an immortal appearance. Ordinary mortal women were no match for him, but they couldn't stand his pretentiousness.

"I know, I'll be immune next time, so I won't fall in love with it." Zhuang Xun said shamelessly, feeling very guilty.

"You're already like this, where's Jiang Zhaoyi." Si Qinmi, a doctor, couldn't just focus on Zhuang Xun, but take good care of his sister.

"I fell asleep with a big belly..." Zhuang Xun blurted out.

"Hey, Jiang Zhaoyi is pregnant again?" He Tan exclaimed, his words full of envy.

"Why is my concubine's stomach unresponsive?" Li Shaoyun said sadly. After Zhuang Xun had a child, it was now the turn of these harem concubines.

"It wouldn't be so good if she wasn't pregnant. It's her every time, and Nian En hasn't even been weaned yet."

Zhuang Xun realized the misunderstanding and quickly explained that he did not particularly love children, but he also understood how much this society valued children.

"I'm not pregnant, why am I pregnant..." He Tan was still muttering.

"Okay, if it's not, then I won't. Let's ask Sister Li to give birth to a King Zhao for you." Si Qinmi reacted, said with a smile, and relieved Zhuang Xun.

"Let's unify the world first. Only when we become the true emperor can we grant the title of King Zhao." Zhuang Xun understood what Si Qin Mi meant by King Zhao.

"Going back to the previous topic, do you think Jiang Zhaoyi is using this as a honey trap or has some other conspiracy?"

Zhuang Xun is not good at being a sage now, so his mind is extremely clear. The beauty trap is a good strategy, and Zhuang Xun cannot guarantee that he will not fall into the trap.

"Don't you think she's really convinced?" Si Qin Mi said with a smile. She didn't see much of Empress Dowager Jiang, but got to know her more through chatting with Zhuang Xun.

"I have said that Zhao Guo has not died yet, and he still has advantages. Jiang Zhaoyi is a proud and persistent woman. I would rather believe that she is a honey trap."

Zhuang Xun shook his head and said, touching Li Shaoyun's hand, this woman is also a master of beauty traps, and he likes her quite a lot, especially if she is with Li Rusi. Although it is a bit unpleasant for the general to stay overnight in Shufei Palace, it is like Zhuang Xun to Empress Dowager Jiang. This combination gave him an indescribable feeling.

Think about it, these harems all have their own unique advantages, which satisfy Zhuang Xun's unique and obscene ideas in some aspects.

"Not necessarily. Judging from the current situation, we are about to ascend the dragon. It seems that there will be no problem for Jiang Zhaoyi to abandon the secret and turn to the light."

Zhuang Xun looked at the strength of both sides mechanically, even though he had grown up in a dialectical environment and could not understand the relationship between one and the other.

Empress Dowager Jiang can understand it, and Si Qinmi can also understand it. From Zhao Guo's two failures, he can understand the nature of Zhao Guo's paper tiger.

Zhao State may be a real tiger, at least to Jing Zheng. Everyone is starting from the same starting point. Zhao State is stronger than the two countries by virtue of its national strength.

But for Zhuang Xun's Xia State, Zhao State is a paper tiger, because Zhuang Xun is united internally, and Zhao State is divided internally. If we find the points of division and strike them, the strength of Zhao State will be empty to Xia State.

The road of Xia State is getting brighter and brighter as it goes, but Zhao State is in a situation where the dragon is trapped in the shallows due to multiple constraints.

But after understanding it, Si Qinmi couldn't tell whether Empress Dowager Jiang was truly convinced, and then left Zhuang Xun to concentrate on raising children and being a beautiful palace concubine.

"Whether it's true or not, you can enjoy it with peace of mind. If anything happens, I and the sisters will help you solve it."

Si Qinmi said in secret that as long as her husband is happy, she will be a honey trap. She is the foundation of Zhuang Xun's enjoyment. As long as he is around, nothing Zhuang Xun does will affect the governance and hegemony.

"Ah, I don't want to add any extra burden to you. I have to be conscious of being a king who governs from top to bottom, so as not to cause trouble to everyone."

Zhuang Xun understands the burden of hugging one's thighs. He has read many stories about how the lord did not pay attention and let others pick up the slack in the end. Therefore, facing the queen whom he trusts the most and is the wisest, Zhuang Xun will not hold back. What, give bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of.

"If you are worried, how about asking her to write a letter to persuade her to surrender. This will sever the connection between her and Zhao Guo, so that you can trust her more."

Si Qinmi suggested, Zhuang Xun was about to nod, but He Tan interrupted: "But don't you want Jiang Zhaoyi to be a buffer?"

"It's just a letter and it's not really meant to be sent out. Let her express her determination." Li Shaoyun understood the beauty of it and submitted a petition.

"It doesn't matter. Even if she really surrenders, she will just be your trophy. Is it really possible to let her participate in national politics? To participate in national governance, you need someone you can trust."

Si Qinmi added that she was also trying to show her favor to Li Shaoyun, saying that she had been trusted by this big family. Li Shaoyun was really happy after hearing this.

Everyone knew it was a verbal commendation, but she was really happy to be accepted as one of her own. Queen Mother Jiang would be more favored, but she was not one of her own.

"That's good. If it makes King Zhao angry, it won't be beautiful. In this case, King Zhao may have gone crazy."

He Tan chuckled, and the family fell into laughter again.

King Zhao was mad. He had gone mad a long time ago. A sure thing failed in this way. How could he not be mad? It was not Zhao's Shou'an and Fang Yu who were beaten, but Zhao's subordinates. He was dragged off the dominant car.

Looking at the red note, King Zhao smashed it down hard, and the paper fluttered. Even after a few months, he still felt the suppressed anger in his heart.

All the people with red names are dead. Today is the time for questioning, and they are all people from the defeated family. Even so, he is still not relieved, and the anger in his heart is surging.

These bastards, how dare they, start internal strife in the middle of the battle, luckily they were able to figure it out, how can you tell him to believe in Shao Guoliang's treason, but it was the Shao family's land division that caught his attention.

As King Zhao, a carefully cultivated monarch, he knew very well what the Shao family's behavior meant. With a little thought, he understood why Shao Guoliang was labeled as a rebel.

It's just that they were forced to have no choice. Although the Shao family is also an aristocratic family, if the family's cake is touched, the reaction of the aristocratic family can be said to be natural.

How could this be hidden from King Zhao? King Zhao is really not a fool. He may make some mistakes, but his mind is normal.

If the battle is won and the goal is achieved, then it can be said that the merit has been paid for the crime. Now that Shou'an Fangyu is lost and the Xuanjia Army has lost nearly 40,000 people, these people still have the nerve to come back. Count them all and kill them all. , don’t understand the hatred in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master wishes to see you." When King Zhao fell silent and released his low pressure, the attendant next to him reminded him.

"You clean up and invite the Imperial Master to come in." King Zhao calmed down the anger in his heart, sat on the chair, and tried his best to control his heavy breathing.

Xuannv walked into the palace and the attendants retreated. She looked around at the furnishings. She frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why bother? The deal is already done. What you should be thinking about is how to make up for it."

"How can I make up for it? I'm completely trapped. How can I save my mother?" King Zhao said in a self-deprecating tone.

Except for Zhuang Xun, everyone with some insight has seen Zhao's predicament. Empress Dowager Jiang was so disappointed that she chose to give up Zhao to raise Zhuang Xun's children, admitting that Zhuang Xun's path was more correct, just because she was desperate.

As a person who has ruled the State of Zhao for twenty or thirty years, how could he be willing to bow his head and completely abandon the State of Zhao unless he was frustrated by the outrageous operations of the family.

As the monarch of Zhao State, King Zhao experienced three defeats and also felt a resistance in front of him, but compared to his mother, his feeling was not as deep as his foreboding.

Because Empress Dowager Jiang came out through many comparisons, she was asked to look at the problem objectively last time, and she went through hard work and reflection.

"There is still a chance, don't give up." Xuan Nu comforted her. Even though she thought that Zhao might not be able to capture Shou'an Fangyu Road, she never thought it would be so miserable.

It's outrageous that the 60,000 fully armed and well-trained Xuanjia Army lost to the 30,000 poorly trained and newly formed Tiance Army.

Even for people like Xuannv who were so calm and experienced all kinds of strange situations, they all felt a kind of sincere admiration and were laughed at.

After understanding the consequences, I felt that Zhao was hopeless. Now I can lose 60,000 to 30,000. After Xia has cultivated for a few more years, I can support 100,000 people with the power of Jizhou. Policy, Zhao Guo can do nothing.

But she is the national counselor of Zhao State, and she has been bound to Zhao State. In a sense, she is bound to Zhao State more deeply than Empress Dowager Jiang, so she must be saved now even if she can't stand it. Besides, King Zhao is not a foolish king, and he has to save her now. There are reasons to save.

"What chance do you have, National Master, this is a trapped dragon situation. We have already entered the situation. One dragon lost one of its four claws. One of them grabbed the shore, and its two hind claws fell into the depression and were pulled by Jing Zheng. Standing there, watching this little dragon in Xia grow into a big dragon, there is nothing you can do about it."

King Zhao vividly described the trapped dragon. Zhao State is not afraid of any country now, but he has no chance to face it alone. Instead, several countries want to carve up Zhao State together. The surrounding countries, No one is friendly to Zhao Guo.

"We have no choice but to make a desperate move. This is Zhao's only chance to win. Convince Zheng to attack Jing. We will fight to the death with Xia."

Xuannv suggested that when life and death are at stake, give it a try.
