The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 111 Do you really want to admit your mistake?

After Ran Hai reluctantly left Zhongcui Palace, Chong Xin returned to Compassionate Ning Palace and told the matter to the Empress Dowager. After hearing this, the Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly and said: "Oh, I really didn't expect that, just in case, you stayed behind His last move turned out to be a defeat that put him in a difficult position."

Ran Hai also let out a long sigh and said: "Hey, man's calculation is not as good as the sky's calculation. It was originally arranged as a backhand, and the clinker will turn into today's disaster. I hate that I didn't expect this result, so that today's flood is hard to recover. "

"This is the end of the matter, big brother, don't worry too much about it, but Gu Xinning will definitely take action against us when he returns, we must take precautions." The Empress Dowager said with a frown.

"Well, I will arrange, and there is Zhao Yuning, she is the best person to disturb Gu Xining." Ran Hai said with a ferocious smile.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Well, I will discuss this matter with Concubine Yun, and my eldest brother will find a way to deal with the relationship with Nanjiang."

"Okay, the old man will go back and write a letter with Mo Xiaotang, and I will leave." Ran Hai said, then bowed and asked to leave, and went back to arrange other arrangements.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Gu Xinning slowly walked back and forth around the wall of the Hall of Qinzheng, as if she was nostalgic for the time when she lived here.

At that time, Gu Xinning came here with hatred in her heart, full of various schemes and conspiracies, almost never carefully looked at the structure and furnishings of this palace, now Gu Xinning's heart has become much clearer than before.Suddenly, she became interested in taking a closer look at every brick, every tile, every table and chair in this palace. Patterns, flower pots, veins of flowers and plants in pots, hanging paintings, screens, tables, chairs, and ink pens used by Ye Junyan when reviewing memorials.

Gu Xinning walked slowly, caressing gently, Dang walked in front of the iron cage, put her finger on the cold iron cage and sighed softly.

Suddenly there was the sound of careless footsteps behind him, and the person who came came to a position only two or three feet away from Gu Xinning's back, stopped and did not speak.Gu Xinning knew that it must be Ye Junyan who came.Because no one would dare to stand so close to Gu Xinning except in Ye Junyan's Field Service Palace, not only because of Gu Xinning's identity, but also because of the legend that Gu Xinning died and came back to life, and even if someone dared to rely on him so closely She was close, but she came here without saying a word. Gu Xinning knew that there was no such bold servant in Qinzheng Hall, so this person could only be Ye Junyan.

Ye Junyan stood behind Gu Xinning and quietly looked at Gu Xinning's back, listening to her sigh, there was self-blame and guilt in his eyes.

Suddenly Gu Xinning asked Ye Junyan behind him: "Why do you still keep this? Are you planning to wait for me to come back and then throw me in to prepare?" Gu Xinning did not turn around, still turned her back to Ye Junyan, her tone Said a little bit cruelly.

Ye Junyan took another two steps forward lightly, put his arms around Gu Xinning's waist, pressed Gu Xinning's back tightly against his chest, and lightly rested his chin on Gu Xinning's shoulder, and said softly: "No, You know not. I will never lock you in again. I thought you would never come back and kept it as a souvenir. Now that you are back, I will order someone to remove it in a while."

Gu Xinning smiled and shook her head and said: "Forget it, let's keep it, lest one day you find out that I still want to harm you, you will have to go around looking for an iron cage to lock me up."

"No, never again. I believe that you will not do anything that is not good for me. Even if you really want to use me this time, I am willing." After Ye Junyan finished speaking, he hugged Gu Xinning even tighter. up.

Gu Xinning smiled coquettishly and broke away from Ye Junyan's hands, and asked, "Is there any result in the court?"

"Ha, it's very satisfying. My appearance made all those who were looking forward to me overjoyed, and all those who were afraid of me were terrified. It's a pity that you didn't see what Ran Hai looked like at that time, just like a sick cat that has been dying. Just shivering on the ground." Ye Junyan said with a smile on his face.

Gu Xinning also smiled in satisfaction, and then said: "But don't forget, Your Majesty, even if he looks like a sick cat, he is still a tiger after all."

Ye Junyan stopped his little hand and nodded and said: "Well, I understand this point. I demoted her to cut off the extravagant expectations of those courtiers who are ruthless. Some supporters who are not afraid of death, I will not take him lightly."

Gu Xinning nodded and said: "Also, I always feel that Donghai and Xijun are the partners we need to fight for. No matter how difficult it is, we should try our best to do this well."

Ye Junyan frowned and said, "You want me to promise them something?"

Gu Xinning said: "That's right, and it's not just a promise, it's an apology, an apology for blaming them before."

Ye Junyan was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "What? You want me to apologize to Donghai and Xijun?"

Gu Xinning nodded and said: "Well, Zhaoxuan Kingdom has a vast territory, surrounded by many large and small countries. If we can't find ways to alleviate the threat in the southern border, Zhaoxuan Kingdom can use the troops to defend against the enemy. According to the analysis I made with King Zheng before. , should be less than 80, otherwise the emperor would not have to make such a big sacrifice in order to retreat."

The 80 that Gu Xinning mentioned is not the entire military strength of Zhaoxuan Kingdom. The total military strength of Zhaoxuan Kingdom is at least 170 million.

However, bordering on Zhaoxuan Kingdom, there are a total of [-] countries, big and small. Except for the southern border, there are six big countries and nine small and medium countries. Among them, there are peace-loving and war-loving ones. The powerful and rich Zhaoxuan Kingdom covets it, so at the borders of some warlike or big countries, Zhaoxuan Kingdom needs to prepare heavy troops.

Therefore, the long border has dispersed many troops of Zhaoxuan Kingdom. Therefore, although Zhaoxuan Kingdom's military strength is more than 170 million, most of them have territories and responsibilities that need to be defended, and only those who can really obey and control at any time Less than 80 soldiers and horses.

Gu Xinning's words seemed to have hit on Ye Junyan's hidden worries, and Ye Junyan said too harshly: "There is no 80, and Yue Liguo is already ready to move. I have deployed tens of thousands of troops to strengthen the defense line against Yue Liguo. When Xinjiang captured the border, the troops defending the border were severely damaged. Although the troops transferred later had already joined them and waited for the opportunity, there were only nearly 40 soldiers and horses. 70 at most, maybe 65."

As Ye Junyan said, his expression gradually became solemn. Gu Xinning frowned when he heard Ye Junyan's words, and said, "Then Donghai and Xijun will have to fight even more. If they can hold back a part of southern Xinjiang If there is a large army, it will be difficult for the army in southern Xinjiang to supply food and supplies, and it will be difficult to defend for a long time."

Ye Junyan sighed heavily and said, "But...it's okay for me to promise some rewards or items, but it's okay for me to admit my mistake to them." Ye Junyan said hesitantly.For Ye Junyan, as the king of a country, and also the king of a country of Zhaoxuan Kingdom, not an ordinary small country, it would hurt Ye Junyan's self-esteem to admit his mistakes to others.

Gu Xinning looked at Ye Junyan and said: "Face and country are like fish and bear's paw that can't have both, it depends on which one the emperor wants to choose, and the promise I'm talking about is not just gold foil finances, these are not enough for them to take the risk of sending troops, There must be a greater good."

Ye Junyan was stunned again when he heard the words, and said displeasedly: "You want Zhenxu to use the territory as a bargaining chip? That's even worse, the country of Zhaoxuan has never lost a single bit in the hands of the previous kings, how can it be in my hands incomplete."

Gu Xinning sighed and said, "Hey, yesterday someone said that they were willing to do it for me, even if they didn't want the whole country. Unexpectedly, they changed their face in just one day, and they were reluctant to give up even a little bit of land. It seems that this man is no slower than a woman to turn his face. Well."

After Gu Xinning said this, Ye Junyan's face turned blue and red, and he didn't know what to say.

Or how can I say that love is a magic weapon to lower IQ, no matter men or women, no matter how smart and decisive people are, once they are completely immersed in emotions, they will become dull and even dull. At this time, Ye Jun Words are undoubtedly the best example.

In normal times, Ye Junyan would only need a frosty look in his eyes to scare everyone away from speaking.But at this moment, Ye Junyan just frowned, in a dilemma, not knowing what to say.

It was the first time Gu Xinning saw this indecisive, clumsy expression on Ye Junyan's face, and found it very funny, she couldn't help but chuckled and laughed.

Seeing Gu Xinning laughing at herself, Ye Junyan's expression became a little displeased, and he was about to speak, but Gu Xinning said first: "Don't worry, I said I wanted you to promise them, but I didn't say I would Give them your own land."

Ye Junyan stopped and Gu Xinning said this, as if he had figured out something, and suddenly realized: "I understand, you want me to promise to help them regain the land that originally belonged to them but was occupied by Nanjiang?"

Gu Xinning nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, I have to promise that once I help them get back their territory, I will send troops to guard them to protect them and resist the invasion of southern Xinjiang."

Ye Junyan frowned and said, "Garrison? I'm afraid even if I agree, they may not agree."

Gu Xinning smiled and said, "The emperor is really so confident? Why don't you try it and see?"

Ye Junyan froze for a moment and said, "Is this still worth trying?"

It is true that letting other people's troops garrison on one's own territory is probably useless in the eyes of almost everyone, so it is a move to lure wolves into the house.If you are not careful, your own territory may become someone else's territory, so even if Zhao Xuanguo is willing, Donghai and Xijun will not be willing. This should be beyond doubt.
