Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 721 Negotiation
In any case, the deployment map of the border gate is of great importance to the border gate.

After listening to Shen Hao's words, Emperor Jing fell into silence, and Shen Hao knelt on the ground, waiting for Emperor Jing's order.

Su Qinghan stood aside and looked towards Emperor Jing. Like Shen Hao, he was also waiting for Emperor Jing's answer.

"General Shen, get up." After a long time, Emperor Jing finally spoke. He called Shen Hao to get up, and then looked at him and Su Qinghan, "Which country do the two generals think Xidi will hand over the defense map to?"

Xi Di dared to be so arrogant, he must have the confidence, Emperor Jing reckoned that if the defense map was really lost, it might have already been in the hands of the enemy.

Among the several powerful countries, after the previous battle, the Chu Kingdom must have been silent for a long time, and did not dare to provoke Xing'an lightly. The only ones left were Qing, Wei and Zhou.

Before Qing State helped Chu State, they besieged the border in the northwest, and later Shen Hao raided the food and grass, so that they withdrew their troops early. Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible for Qing State to send troops again.

As for the state of Zhou, it is too far away from the northwest border, sending troops once would be a waste of money, so it is impossible for the state of Zhou, but the state of Wei is far away from the northwest border, and it is very likely that Xidi will instigate it.

"Reporting to the emperor, the general believes that there is a high possibility that Xidi will hand over the defense plan to Wei Guo. From the perspective of the future, it is true that General Shen should be rushed back as soon as possible to redeploy the defense."

Fortunately, the deployment map is scattered, even if the enemy gets a small part of it, as long as they rush back in time and redeploy, there is nothing to worry about.

"Your Majesty, I would like to rush back to the northwest border as soon as possible and redeploy the defenses." After Su Qinghan finished speaking, Shen Hao knelt down again and saluted Emperor Jing.

"Two generals, what do you think is the possibility of Wei Guo and Qing Guo joining forces?" Hearing Su Qinghan finish talking to Shen Hao, Emperor Jing was silent for a moment, and then spoke again. The two of them did not expect Emperor Jing to ask such a question. Suddenly, They were all a little dazed.

"If you go back to the emperor, the general feels that the possibility is extremely small, but on the battlefield, it is always right to be cautious. The general is willing to go with General Shen."

Su Qinghan was the first to come back to his senses, and he also knelt on the ground, reporting back to Emperor Jing.

When he said this, Shen Hao's face couldn't help but change. If Wei Guo and Qing Guo attacked the northwest border together, it would be an extremely severe battle.

"Anyway, it's always right to be cautious. General Su, stay for a few days. I still have things for you to do. General Shen will set off tomorrow to the northwest border. On the way, you will pass through various states and counties. You can use your military talisman to dispatch Some soldiers."

Although there are soldiers in all states and counties, they can't all be transferred away, and some of them should be kept in case of emergency.

"If there is an emergency and you cannot report it, you can decide on your own." Shen Hao is indeed responsible for the deployment of the map, but it is still uncertain, and the deployment map is really lost.

"General Su, send a letter to the Southwest Border Pass tomorrow to ask the soldiers to strengthen their guards." After Shen Hao gave the order, Emperor Jing looked at Su Qinghan and ordered again.

From Xidi's letter of credence, it can be roughly guessed that the northwest border may be in danger, but we should not neglect the importance of the southwest border because of this.

Shen Hao has returned to the northwest border, so there is no need to worry, but Xue Gang and Lu Xing are the only ones at the southwest border. Although they are also talented, there are some things that require the master to be there.

Su Qinghan couldn't rush back for a while, so he had to write a letter to the Southwest Border Pass to tell him some things, so as not to be negligent and be taken advantage of.

After listening to Emperor Jing's instructions, Su Qinghan saluted and responded. Emperor Jing called Shen Hao and Su Qinghan to get up, and after saying a few more words, he let them go down.

When Shen Hao and Su Qinghan left, Emperor Jing looked at the credential in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, just now when you were discussing with the two generals, someone came from Shoukang Palace and invited you to have a meal."

Saluting to Emperor Jing, Kang Ninghai spoke in a respectful tone, and Emperor Jing responded, put away the national book, got up and walked out of the imperial study.

…………

The Empress Dowager had nothing else to do when she was looking for Emperor Jing, except that she hadn't seen Emperor Jing for a while, so she asked him to come over to have a meal together, and by the way, ask Emperor Jing what he thought.

"The Ai family knows that you prefer Imperial Concubine Chen in your heart. Since you have an idea, then do it according to your idea."

When Emperor Jing came to Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager ordered people to present lunch, and then she withdrew the palace people, and shared her thoughts while eating with Emperor Jing.

"Empress Mother, I want Imperial Concubine Chen to be the empress, but Imperial Concubine Chen doesn't want to." With a wry smile, Emperor Jing told the Empress Dowager Su Qingyan's thoughts.

"The Ai family didn't expect that Concubine Chen would think so. No matter how many women try their best, they can't get that position."

"Since Concubine Chen doesn't want to, what is the emperor's plan? Give it to Concubine Rong? The Ai family is watching. In the past two years, the Shen family is quite sensible. Compared with the Xiao family, it is much better."

After serving Emperor Jing a piece of food with chopsticks, the queen mother spoke again. In front of Emperor Jing, she didn't care about eating without saying anything.

"After returning to my mother, I want to take this matter for a while. I asked Concubine Rong what she meant before. Concubine Rong was the driving force behind the scenes. I thought that she should want that position. I didn't expect that she would recommend Concubine Chen to me."

After eating the food that the queen mother picked up, Emperor Jing smiled and said, after hearing what he said, the queen mother couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"According to Ai's family, the emperor did it on purpose. You like Concubine Chen in your heart, and you know that Concubine Rong is also suitable for that position, so you deliberately mentioned the matter of the previous dynasty before asking her. Like this, even if Concubine Rong wants that position , I dare not say it."

After all, it was her own son. Of course, the Queen Mother knew about Emperor Jing. After hearing what Emperor Jing had said, the Queen Mother immediately exposed him.

When the Queen Mother said this, the smile on Emperor Jing's face suddenly deepened, "You can't hide anything from the Queen Mother. No matter how you say it, I want to slow down this matter. Right now, I'm not in a hurry to think about these things."

"I know that the middle palace is not stable, whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, it will affect it, but right now, there are only a few people in the harem, and there is nothing going on. As for the former dynasty, there are many things to be done." Do it, presumably the courtiers will understand."

"Forget it, Ai's family is old, so don't get involved in these things. Speaking of which, Kang'er is not young this year, but because she grew up next to Ai's family, her temper is not as good as a normal child. Ai's family pondered whether she should think of a way , let him have more contact with things outside Shoukang Palace?"

It can be said that since the eldest prince Baili Kang was born, he has been by the Queen Mother's side all the time. Because of his poor health, the Queen Mother has always treated him with care.

Boys are no better than girls, the queen mother thought, even if she doesn't inherit the throne in the future, but just be an idle prince, it's not appropriate to be like this now.
