The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 119 Cooperation reached
The next day, in the big tent in southern Xinjiang, several patriarchs came to the leader's big tent to ask for the time for the troops, but they heard that Ying Keqing told the soldiers to rest and recuperate for a while, and they will not send troops in the near future.

The several patriarchs didn't know why, so Tuobatu asked: "Didn't you say that Mo Luotang's army would start to counterattack as soon as it arrived? Now that the army's momentum is rising, it is a great opportunity to send troops. Why should we change our strategy? If you want to It will be even more difficult for the opponent to attack after all the scattered troops from various places are united in one place."

Ying Keqing said: "Patriarch Tuoba, don't be impatient. Although we have more troops than the opponent, the opponent's strength is not small. If we fight hard, both sides will suffer heavy casualties, and we will win. , is also a disastrous victory, and the opponent still has a huge number of border guards who have not yet dispatched, and now we are not in the upper hand."

Tuoba Tu asked: "What does the chief mean, when will our army gain the upper hand? The chief needs to know that the amount of food and grass our army needs every day is extremely large, and it is really inappropriate to delay for too long."

Ying Keqing smiled confidently and said, "Clan Chief Tuoba can rest assured that our advantages will emerge soon. Xiaotang has sent envoys to lobby the warlike countries around Zhaoxuan Kingdom. As long as they can contain If the frontier troops of Zhaoxuan Kingdom are immobilized, we can deal with the troops inside Zhaoxuan Kingdom with all our strength."

Ha Bishan said disdainfully: "How many of those small countries dare to touch Zhaoxuan Kingdom, unless they don't want to live anymore."

Ying Keqing said with a smile: "It's hard to say, who made Zhaoxuan Kingdom so rich, there will always be greedy people who want to attack him, even if only one country takes action, it can make all the border guards of Zhaoxuan Kingdom Don’t dare to transfer away easily.”

Originally, the army of Zhaoxuan Kingdom had already entered a state of full alert. If other countries violated their border defense at this time, it was inevitable that there would be other countries in other regions making the same move. The rest of the border guards dare not relax, this is the plan of Mo Luotang and Ying Keqing.

And there is a more important step in Mo Luotang's plan, which is Ye Junyan.

Speaking of Ye Junyan, for some reason, Ye Junyan suddenly decreed to formally confer Gu Xinning as empress when he went to court yesterday.

Except for Gu Xinning, everyone was surprised, happy and angry when they heard the news.

No one understood why Gu Xinning was chosen to be conferred the title of queen at this time. Now that the national situation is in turmoil, many people find it hard to understand why she was suddenly conferred the title of queen.

But of course Ye Junyan has his own reasons, but this reason is ulterior, he can't tell everyone, 'The concubine Yun, who is an adulterer, is pregnant, and wants to seek my throne, she Haven't you always wanted to be a queen?But I just don't want to seal her. Gu Xinning is the person I love the most, but also the person Concubine Yun hates the most, so I will seal Gu Xinning as the empress, and let her extravagant hopes be broken one by one. 'Since you can't say that, then Ye Junyan won't explain much, he just said that the position of the mother of the country has been vacant for too long, and today there is a chance of turmoil. I hope that the joy of conferring the mother of the country can bring hope and turning point to the society.Whether it is convincing or not, it is an excuse anyway.

However, Ran Yunmo was so angry that Ye Jun said that she was about to go crazy, and she kept beating the things in the palace with great energy, as if she had forgotten that the injury on her head was not healed.

The Empress Dowager and Ran Hai were also shocked, and they were gathering in the Palace of Compassion and Ning to discuss the current situation.

I saw Ran Hai said: "The emperor suddenly canonized Gu Xinning as empress at this time, I'm afraid it's not that simple, could it be that he noticed something? Concubine Yun has done something out of line these days, right?"

The Empress Dowager frowned and said: "No, because Concubine Yun has been sent to keep an eye on Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun has been recuperating in the palace for the past few days, has not gone out, and has not had contact with outsiders, it stands to reason." Looking at Ran Hai as if thinking of something suddenly, he continued, "Do you think it's the imperial doctor who gave it away?"

Ran Hai shook his head and said: "The imperial doctor also sent someone to watch over it. By the way, Gu Xinning is proficient in medical skills and can identify medicines. Could it be that Gu Xinning discovered the anti-fetal medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to Concubine Yun?"

The empress dowager said: "Gu Xinning hasn't been to Zhongcui Palace in the past few days. The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor and the palace servant who ordered the medicine to be replaced with medicine for nourishing blood and calming the nerves, even if she saw the dregs of the medicine, she would not May notice something."

Ran Hai frowned and said: "That's strange, this matter is strange, if Concubine Yun knows about it, I don't know how angry she will be."

The empress dowager shook her head and said: "She already knows, just before you came, the people sent by you just came to report back, Concubine Yun has already lost her temper for a day."

"Alas." Ran Hai was majestic, and he let out a long sigh helplessly.

At this time, the West Commandery has invited a distinguished guest. This person is not dressed in gorgeous clothes. He wears a straw hat on his head to cover his face. The person who wishes to be seen is the king of the East China Sea.

Ye Jinfeng also had acquaintance with him on several occasions. When he saw the other party, he had already guessed from the other party's figure and speech that this person was the King of the East China Sea.

The Lord of the West County led Ye Junyan and the Lord of the East China Sea to a closed room, where tables and chairs for food and drinks had been set up. After the three sat down, the Lord of the West County asked all the attendants to leave, leaving only himself, Ye Jinfeng and the Lord of the East China Sea, at this time the Lord of the East China Sea took off his hat and put it aside.

The Lord of the West County began to introduce each other to the two, and the Lord of the East China Sea hummed and said, "I know him, a lobbyist from the Zhaoxuan Kingdom, how could it be that your brother has already been persuaded by him?"

The Lord of the West County smiled and said: "Oh? It turns out that the two of you already know each other, so I'll save you trouble and don't need to introduce them one by one. But from the tone of your voice, there seems to be some conflict between the two of you?"

The Lord of the East China Sea turned his head to look at Ye Jinfeng and said, "Conflict? It's not him who has the conflict, but Zhaoxuan Kingdom. Have you forgotten what happened before?" The Lord of the East China Sea turned his head to look at the King of West County and said.

King Xijun smiled and said: "Then I can't forget it, how can I forget it, but since Zhaoxuan Kingdom can send the prince of the royal family to apologize, I think it is enough to show the sincerity of Zhaoxuan Kingdom. Helpless, our size is also the lord of a country, so there should be a lot of people, right?"

"Oh? Prince? You said he is the prince of Zhaoxuan Kingdom?" The Lord of Donghai looked at Ye Jinfeng in disbelief.

Ye Jinfeng quickly took out the seal from his arms and handed it to the Lord of the East China Sea, saying: "Xia Ye Jinfeng is the king of Zheng who was conferred by the late emperor. This seal is the proof of my identity, and it has been checked by the king of Xijun."

The Lord of the East China Sea picked up the seal and looked at it for a moment, then turned to look at the King of the West County, who smiled and nodded, indicating that what Ye Jinfeng said was true.

The monarch of Donghai nodded and asked again: "Since you are the prince of Zhaoxuan Kingdom, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ye Jinfeng clasped his hands and said: "When Emperor Mingwen came here, he specifically told Jinfeng to apologize to the two countries for this trip, and not to be disrespectful based on his identity, so he has never dared to reveal his identity, so as not to be misunderstood. The state has an attempt to bully the weak by the strong."

The King of the East China Sea heard the words and said: "In this way, I have a lack of etiquette, and I have neglected your Excellency."

Ye Jinfeng quickly said: "Don't dare, dare not. It is our fault first, not the king's fault."

Seeing Ye Jinfeng being polite and admitting his mistakes repeatedly, the Lord of the East China Sea lost a little resentment in his heart, and said calmly, "King Zheng is so sincere, and I don't want to force others, but your Lord must give me an explanation, otherwise Nor can I explain to my subjects."

Ye Jinfeng took out Ye Junyan's edict and handed it to Donghai Monarch, saying, "My Monarch, please."

The Lord of the East China Sea frowned, took the imperial decree from the Kingdom of Zhaoxuan from Ye Junyan, opened it and looked at it, with a slightly relaxed expression on his face, nodded and said: "Well, it seems that the Lord of the Kingdom of Zhaoxuan is indeed sincere in apologizing. , well, I will not pursue the matter of you pretending to be our army before."

Ye Jinfeng quickly thanked the king of the East China Sea, and the king of Xijun quickly began to persuade everyone to drink and eat, chatting while talking.

During the meeting, Ye Jinfeng talked about the situation between Zhaoxuan Kingdom and Southern Xinjiang intentionally or unintentionally, and then inserted some conflicts between Southern Xinjiang, East China Sea and West County, and did some analysis on conflicts of interests. The King of West County originally intended to promote cooperation , also echoed Ye Jinfeng.

Ye Jinfeng mentioned the matter of cooperation at the right time, and the Lord of the East China Sea looked at Ye Jinfeng very sensitively and said, "How to cooperate? How to divide the benefits? Who will bear the risks?"

Ye Jinfeng said: "Benefits are definitely beneficial to everyone, especially Donghai and Xijun. I know that the East and West are oppressed by Southern Xinjiang for a long time. If the two can cooperate, we can help Zhaoxuan Kingdom After the current difficulties are over, after the defeat of southern Xinjiang, the Zhaoxuan Council will be responsible for helping the two regain the plains of Hexi County, which is on the shore of the East China Sea, and is willing to garrison troops for a long time to protect their safety."

"I'm afraid that in the future, it will be easy to invite the gods, but it will be difficult to send the gods away. Why do you still want to garrison troops? What is the difference between that and falling into the hands of Nanjiang?" The Lord of the East China Sea said displeased.

Ye Jinfeng quickly explained: "No, our army is sent to protect these two areas from being invaded again by southern Xinjiang, and there is absolutely no intention of occupying them. The monarch can imagine that these two areas are separated from our country by a distance. In southern Xinjiang, the military supplies will be provided by the two. If there is any change in our army, the two can stop the supply at any time, and the expenses used by the two to supply our army can be reported to my master every six months. I will definitely not let the two of you pay your military salary in vain."

The king of Xijun kept praising him, and the lord of Donghai bit his lip and said, "So what's the risk?"

Ye Jinfeng shook his head and said: "There is almost no risk. The strength of Zhaoxuan Kingdom must be clear to the two of you. If there is any risk in Zhaoxuan Kingdom now, it is whether you are willing to help. If you are willing to help, Zhaoxuan Kingdom will never defeat."

The Lord of the East China Sea looked at the King of West County, bowed his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's not impossible for me to agree to take action, but I have to add conditions. I don't know if King Zheng has the right to wait for the Lord's promise."

Ye Jinfeng was stunned for a moment. In his opinion, it is very rare for Ye Junyan to make such a condition and even give in. If it was him, he must have agreed to it long ago. Unexpectedly, the Lord of the East China Sea is not satisfied. See I came here to take advantage of the fire and rob, so I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Oh, who said that Donghai people really don't know how to do business."

Thinking this way in my heart, I had no choice but to put on a smile and said: "It depends on the specific conditions that the monarch wants to raise. As long as it does not involve our country's land and national rights, I have the right to do anything for general matters." You two make a promise."
