Chapter 339 Escort

What Yao Ji said really surprised Zhang Ning. He didn't have time to think about it for a while, but immediately felt something was wrong.Since that Xin Wei is going to die according to the rules, it’s not a big deal. On the territory of Huguang, under Zhang Ning’s rule, people must be executed for crimes every day, but why should she serve him? Is it fun to drop?

He turned his head slightly, glanced at the plum blossoms on the table, nodded after a while and said, "Since it is inconvenient for you to do it, then I will give the order. Of course I would like to see the concubine mother happy, sometimes I don't even know what to send I can only see you smiling if I give you something; as long as you mny, I don't care."

After hearing this, Yao Ji was overwhelmed, and looked at her with a sweet smile, and suddenly came to the world like spring.She said softly: "Just now I was worried that you would not be able to bear it if you were deceived by that little lady."

"It's just the first time I've seen her, and I was completely a passerby before. If I was lured like this, wouldn't I be very sad if an enemy with malicious intentions tricked me into the beauty pass?" Zhang Ning calmly said. Said.

He seemed to see a bunch of plum blossoms withering and falling, falling on the muddy ground, being trampled on at will, and felt a little uncomfortable... But for some reason, as he said verbally, she was just a Guan girl. [

Yao Ji had a half-smile expression on her face, she looked at Zhang Ning's face and said, "What's wrong? Your expression suddenly turned dark."

Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "It's nothing important, I just suddenly remembered my little sister... that Xin Wei looks as old as my little sister."

After hearing this, Yao Ji was silent for a while, and said, "Forget it, don't worry about it, let me handle my hands myself."

... She waited until Zhang Ning left the Chu Palace before thinking about it. She felt that Zhang Ning really knew how to get along with her and her style of handling things well, so she was able to resolve that trivial matter lightly.

In the evening, a person from the official office came to the palace and asked the Ministry of the Interior to send someone to attend the important meeting held overnight by the Senate.Yao Ji decided to send Xia Changshi to go.

It is said that it is a meeting, but in fact there are only four or five people.Sitting in the study of the government office, talking as usual, is considered a meeting.Although Zhang Ning was sitting at the top, the person presiding over the discussion was Zhu Heng.

Zhu Heng mainly wanted to put forward his new insights in front of important people such as King Xiang and Yongding Camp Commander Wei Bin.The reason is that there is new information in the afternoon, which is sent from a farther place, so this information is a bit late: In addition to the Beijing camp found at Pinghu Pass, there will be more troops in the future, but they are still in the eastern part of the Dabie Mountains. Action is much slower than forward.

"Veteran, I would like to share my two opinions first." Zhu Hengdao, "First, the Hanwang garrison in Jiujiang Mansion is not the opponent of the Jingying. Second, if the Beijing battalion breaks through the Jiang defense from Jiujiang Prefecture, it will not be Nanjing that will bear the brunt, but Huguang. The veteran judges this based on the large number of officers and troops in Jingzhou. The Jingzhou army has gathered in Jiangbei for some time. Only by continuing to put pressure on us from the front can we cause huge wexes on both routes at the same time; otherwise, what is the use of the Jingzhou army's deployment there?"

After hearing this, Wei Bin asked: "Zhu Butang said that, does he want to send troops to rescue Jiujiang?"

Zhu Hengdao: "If we don't save them, the former troops of the Beijing camp will occupy a position on the south bank of the river. Waiting for the [-] battalion and the fifth army battalion to come over the Dabie Mountains, the main force of the Beijing camp will be able to cross the Yangtze River as if walking on flat ground. It can be defended, and Jiang Fang is also talking about it."

"What help?" Wei Bin looked at Zhu Heng.

Zhu Hengdao: "Is there any other troops, only Yongding Camp. The main force of Yongding Camp should start preparing to attack now, and they can start when the prince makes up his mind; at the same time, they should send envoys to get in touch with Jiujiang Mansion as soon as possible to communicate with them." Discuss the dispatch of reinforcements."

At this time, even Liang Yan asked: "What about Wuchang City? The emperor and the army center are here. If the government gets the news that Wuchang is empty, and instead mobilizes troops to cross the river from here to attack Wuchang City, wouldn't it endanger Jiang? The opposite is Hanyang, where there is grain and there are boats.”

Zhu Heng argued: "The government army wants to capture Wuchang City. At present, the area along the river can only use the Beijing camp to have strength. If the Beijing camp is approaching Wuchang, it will be too late to order the Yongding camp to return to defense... Don't forget, everyone. The Yongding Camp is the most elite army of the Suzaku Army, and it can maintain its organizational system even if it abandons its supplies and marches in a hurry, and Wuchang City also has food and equipment."

At this moment, Zhang Ning said, "I think it is feasible, and I agree with Zhu Butang's strategy. Our current strategy is to stabilize the Yangtze River and create a situation where the main force of the Beijing camp breaks through the Yangtze River. There will be nothing left, unless the main force of the Beijing camp can be wiped out on the Huguang territory... More than 20 elites, it is obviously difficult to do it for a while."

……

The sun had already set, unexpectedly at such a late hour, a minister of Emperor Jianwen came from the outer palace to deliver an order to Yao Ji's bedroom.The people who came were quite dignified, and the attendants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to neglect, so they hurriedly reported to Yao Ji; Guo Yong, the cousin of Jianwen Minister Guo Jie, was also the personal entourage of Emperor Jianwen.Who is Guo Jie?At that time, Hu Wei believed that there were 22 ministers who followed Jianwen, and Guo Jie was one of them. His status was similar to that of Zheng Qia.

When Guo Yong saw Yao Ji, at first the edict was okay, saying that the emperor heard that Mrs. Yao had arrived in Wuchang today and wanted to summon her.But after finishing the high-sounding words, he also said that the emperor wanted to watch Mrs. Yao dance tonight, and asked her to dress up before going.

Hearing this, Yao Ji was already a little angry.She is indeed good at singing and dancing. Recalling the time when Emperor Jianwen was received at the main altar of the Bixie Sect, she specially asked Fang Ling (Gu Chunhan) to arrange a song and dance. She rehearsed meticulously for two months just to wait for Jianwen to arrive. Sometimes he danced to please him; in the end, he didn't have the chance to perform at all, and instead he was framed for poisoning the dishes, and that time he was almost cornered.Now he remembered that he wanted to watch the dance, and he came to summon him so late, as if he came when he was called. [

Maybe the people around Jianwen haven't really understood their situation?

Yao Ji's usual elusive smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she calmly asked Guo Yong to wait, and then went into the inner room to change clothes.She didn't change into clothes suitable for dancing. Instead, she put on a blue dark dress. The heavy style and color completely covered her figure, but it was not for the sake of pleasing people's beauty, but just represented a kind of identity.

But a real beauty can't hide her beauty no matter what she wears, even if it's the blue robe worn by an old woman, Yao Ji still looks radiant, but the dark clothes set off her white skin more purely like jade.

She greeted the villain Dong Changshi, Qiu Ye Changshi, and a group of white-clothed swordsmen, maids and guards, and then went to the outer palace with Guo Yong who was preaching.Emperor Jianwen lived in Huang'en Hall, which was the second largest building in the Chu Palace. The largest building was the Zhongzheng Hall on the central axis facing the south main gate.The Emperor's Grace Hall is to the north, not far away, passing through the palace avenue extending from east to west, opposite to the Emperor's Grace Hall.

But after they walked up the stone steps of the main hall, the guards at the door saw Mrs. Yao shouting and embracing, so they blocked the outsiders from entering, and only allowed Yao Ji and a few attendants to enter the hall.One of the guards got nervous for a moment and pulled out a part of his saber to try to scare the women.Unexpectedly, the sword broke as soon as it rang, and a group of white-clothed sword servants drew out their long swords, glaring angrily, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Qiu Ye looked at Yao Ji, saw her nodding, and shouted: "Come here, pass on Mrs. Yao's order that there is a disrespectful rebellion in the palace, and order General Zhou to guard the south gate immediately and lead his troops into the Emperor's Grace Hall to escort him!"

The guards at the gate of the hall were stunned and stood there at a loss.One of them hurriedly left the palace gate and ran in.

After a stalemate for a while, a fat eunuch with a round face and a wide body came rushing in with a whisk.The eunuch came forward, immediately knelt down on the ground, and said: "This servant knocked on the imperial concubine's empress, and this servant, let the little ones disturb the empress, you deserve death!"

"Eunuch Cao..." Yao Ji called out, she knew this eunuch, and the coldness in her eyes lessened a little.

The eunuch Cao Shen raised his head and said: "Get the head guard on duty for our family... Anyone who offends the empress will be severely punished, so you can calm down. Look, it's getting dark today. If the guards enter the palace Here, there may be more troubles, and it's not good to spread it. Can you take it back first?"

Yao Ji smiled, raised her sleeves and waved them lightly.In front of Cao Can, the people next to him sent people to chase after the messenger who had just left.

Cao Shen hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, Yao Ji said: "Get up. The emperor summoned me, and my concubine came to meet the saint. Can I go in now?"

"My lady, please hurry up, the emperor is waiting." Cao Shen said kindly.

Yao Ji brought a large group of people, many guards with swords into the hall, shouted first and then rushed into the hall of emperor's favor.Zhu Yun was dressed very casually, wearing ordinary clothes and wearing a fur head, and was sitting in the hall.At this time, he was already silent in the seat, maybe he didn't have this expression when he sent someone to pass on the message.

The servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs stopped in the hall, and Yao Ji walked forward slowly, bowing her knees and saluting, "The concubine pays respects to the emperor, I wonder if the emperor summoned the concubine overnight, what is the matter?"

Zhu Yun's expression was not happy, but he was still able to calm down and said calmly: "My concubine is flat, I heard that you just arrived at the palace today, so I want to see you."

"Doesn't the emperor want to watch his concubines dance?" Yao Ji asked with a smile.

"This..." Zhu Yun paused, and said, "Your journey is exhausting, I don't think you need to come tonight, let's talk about it next time."

Yao Ji pursed her lips and smiled, "The emperor likes to watch, how can the concubine refuse to obey? It's okay, everyone has rested... But, before the dance, the emperor must first make decisions for the concubine. Guo Yong, who came to preach, but You are a subordinate, yet you speak contemptuously and contemptuously to your concubines, aren't your concubines personally conferred by the emperor, why is it the turn of a lowly minister to bully you?"
