Chapter 64
Xiang Jingming looked at his mother pitifully.

Empress Chen guessed that her daughter might want to have some private words with her, so she nodded to him: "It's getting late. Let's go back to the palace tomorrow."

Seeing that his mother was doing the same thing, Xiang Jingming reluctantly stood up and placed the pastry box next to Xiang Yingxue: "Xue'er, remember to eat."

Xiang Yingxue turned away and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Remember to eat."

After Xiang Jingming left, Queen Chen took her daughter's hand and said, "You can talk to your mother this time."

Xiang Yingxue lowered her eyes and nodded slowly.

"The spy came back today and said that during the ten days when King Bei Yanchen came to Beijing early, he secretly met with Grand Sima Zheng Rong, Minister of War Lin Hai, and Minister of Household Zhao Guangji..."

Xiang Yingxue raised her head and glanced at Queen Chen, and found that her mother believed in him, so she continued.

"When my daughter was young, she overheard her father mentioning to the emperor that the defense map of the Chu Kingdom was divided into five parts, and three of them were hidden in the residence of these three people."

"Mother."

Xiang Yingxue held Empress Chen's hand much tighter: "Murong Chen's wolfish ambition, if he is allowed to succeed, the Chu Kingdom will surely flow into rivers of blood and the country will change hands!"

After hearing this, Empress Chen was not at all troubled.

The emperor is fatuous, the court officials are mediocre, the civil servants love money, and the military officers are afraid of death. The strength of the great Chu country is about to be exhausted.

It's pity that this daughter, who has always wanted to be the best in the world, has to hit the wall everywhere and be bruised and bruised if she wants to do something on her own.

Empress Chen felt very distressed and gently tucked her daughter's fallen hair behind her ears: "Then what is Xue'er going to do?"

"The spy said that although Murong Chen deliberately concealed it, there was an old gardener in Zhao Guangji's house who had seen his appearance, and recently there were several horses unique to Beiyan in his house.

The daughter plans to go tonight and detain the gardener.

Let the imperial brother see with his own eyes that the bribes of the Yan envoys are in the Zhao Mansion, and then ask him to bear witness for me in front of the emperor! "

Queen Chen looked at her daughter's anxious look and sighed deeply.

I wanted to say something, but I was afraid of being too direct and hurting the little princess who had been pampered since childhood.

After thinking about it, he decided to be more tactful: "Xue'er, have you ever thought about why King Chen only met three important people when the defense map cost five yuan?"

"This……"

Xiang Yingxue didn't think much about it.

"Maybe he doesn't know the whereabouts of the other two pieces?" "Silly girl, the defense map is a secret of the Chu State. Even you and I don't know it very well. He must have done enough work to know it, and the nobles of the Chu State are so How many are there? Are the other two so difficult to check?"

"That means...he hasn't had time yet?"

Queen Chen looked at her daughter's cute look and smiled fondly.

"You said that you have met King Chen twice, and they were in places like restaurants, which shows that he has plenty of time.

Therefore, he did not meet those two people, maybe just because it was not necessary. "

no need?

Xiang Yingxue was stunned.

For a foreign commander who wants to invade Chu, what is more important than a defense map?

"Xueer, have you ever thought about what is the true strength of a country?"

"Of course it's armaments, money and food!"

"Silly girl!"

Empress Chen caressed her little face: "It's a human!"

"people?"

"Yes, the real strength of a country is its people!

If the emperor is wise, the officials are united, the civil servants can assist the country, and the military officers are willing to resist the enemy, such a country will be unbreakable even if the defense map is taken away.

Because all the famous generals in the battlefield know that the defense plan is dead, but the people are alive. "

Queen Chen saw her precious daughter thinking deeply and continued:

"Murong Chen single-handedly conquered all the tribes around Beiyan and ended the hundreds of years of border chaos in the Yan Kingdom. He can be said to be a famous general throughout the ages.

For such a person, the defense map is not as useful to him as you think! "

"Then why did he have a private meeting with three ministers?"

Xiang Yingxue was completely confused. The angle her mother mentioned was something she had never considered.
