After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 236 A war that shouldn’t be lost

Chen was deposed! ! !

This was another accident that frightened Sikong Beichen. Mrs. Chen had already confessed to him that she was a reborn person, and it was Ms. Chen who had informed him. That was why he believed that Mrs. Liu had repeatedly slandered Yingshu in front of his mother, and Mrs. Chen was actually also raped. She was involved in the paddock accident and her life was saved. Will she be able to gain this glimmer of hope by using her secret as a reborn person again?

Sikong Beichen couldn't hide his uneasiness for a moment, and finally waited for Mrs. Xie and Concubine Jian to leave. He quickly straightened up and knelt: "Father, please forgive me. I have something that I have not reported to my father. Your mother has... mentioned that you intend to order Xu." Chen Liang is my son, minister, and concubine."

"I know about this." Sikong Tong signaled Sikong Beichen to avoid kneeling: "She actually has nothing to do with the paddock incident, but she is competing with the murdered Zheng family. Although she was elected to the palace through election, she also knew that in addition to being a concubine of the inner court, , there is also the hope of being betrothed to a prince, and young girls are more likely to hope for a handsome and handsome man. If she just has such an idea, it is not a fault.

But Chen'er, have you ever thought about why the queen was persuaded by Chen? The future Liangdi of the East Palace has already chosen the Liang family and the Yu family, so there is no need to add more concubines. What's more, the queen's original intention was the Zheng family, so why did she suddenly favor the Chen family? "

"My son... I really don't know what my mother's plans are."

"It was Chen who volunteered herself, willing to be the eyes and ears of Hanguang Palace. In fact, it is reasonable for the queen to be wary of Hanguang Palace and Changfeng Palace. I also know that she has always wanted to place ears and eyes around Concubine He and Concubine Zheng, but Chen is just a mere My beloved, for selfish reasons, instigated discord between the Queen and Concubine He. This is the fault she committed."

"Father, Emperor Shengming, should severely punish Chen."

"It's not necessary." Sikong Tong took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup: "Da Lang, you must also remember that although the monarch is decisive in killing, he should still have a compassionate heart. Mr. Chen does have some cleverness, and there are Selfishness, but after all, she has no big evil deeds. She is willing to be the queen's eyes and ears, which is beneficial to you, the prince. If I will put her to death because of her selfishness and mistakes, do you think there is no congratulations in the Xianyang Palace? Concubine He’s ears and eyes have been exposed? Concubine He knows clearly why Chen was executed, so her ambition will be even more swollen. "

"My father is thinking about his son, but he is ashamed and has no place."

"This time I punished the queen, but the prince did not intercede for the queen."

"My son...although I don't know the connection between my mother and the incident in the paddock, the person responsible for the murder turned out to be my guard. My son...is frightened."

"Du Bang's confession is strange. He confessed that Liu was the mastermind with a certain death wish. Do you think this matter has something to do with the Queen?"

Cold sweat broke out on Sikong Beichen's back.

From the time of the design, he knew that the Queen could not escape the suspicion of the mastermind, but the people who died were Liu and Zheng Lianzi. These two people were like ants in the eyes of his father. He thought that his father would at most dislike the Queen even more, but he absolutely I won’t delve into it! He even thought of a plan to deal with the aftermath, but before everything could be implemented, his father actually ordered the Xianyang Palace to be locked up!

Everything was out of his control.

"I don't know why my mother suddenly... deposed the concubine. It is impossible to have the intention of fighting for the reserve. Maybe the mother was too anxious and mistakenly believed the slander."

Sikong Tong sighed: "The queen's behavior has become more and more extreme in recent years. This time, I am punishing you to correct the atmosphere in the inner court. I know that the intrigues and intrigues among the family members in the inner court are getting more and more intense. I thought it could not be stopped in the past." , when the overall situation is settled in the future, the disputes in the inner court will no longer affect the court situation.

Chen'er, you should understand the good intentions of a father. You are my chosen prince. Your brothers and sisters can only be your helpers but not your obstacles and opponents. What's sad is that even I, although No king of a country can be arbitrary, so Erlang and Sanlang, relying on the power of their relatives, had the intention of seizing the heir apparent.

Only by relying on the art of balancing, can I gradually disintegrate the alliance between the two surnames He and Zheng, consolidate your position, convince Erlang and Sanlang, and give up their selfish desires and ambitions. The seven of you brothers will work together to maintain the foundation of the ancestral temple.

It was this girl Di Xiu who reminded me that if we continue to indulge the struggle in the inner court, cover up evil deeds, and indulge evil practices, I am afraid that it will inevitably bring disaster to Xiao Qiang. There are indeed too many innocent souls in this inner court who have died in vain. "

Was his predicament actually caused by Ying Shu?

Sikong Beichen's heart was full of bitterness. When he was reborn, the first thing he wanted to do was to prevent Yingshu from marrying Pei Yu. He had been grudged about this matter because a mediocre person like Pei Yu dared to get involved. The woman he regards as a beautiful pearl? He was fortunate that under Bai Chuanjun's planning, Ying Shu's fate had changed. Although he participated in the general election, he could still retain his perfect body. Pei Yu could never become a worry in Ying Shu's heart. He would become Ying Shu's only husband.

He will eradicate those who want to harm Yingshu one by one. He has already taken action against Liu and Zheng Lianzi, but Yingshu knows nothing about the things he has done. He has not yet imprisoned the queen in Xianyang Palace. At that time, there was no queen. Although the ears and eyes could still be mobilized by him, if any flaws were revealed, he would bear the blame!

But Sikong Beichen also had to say: "The advice of Chinese women's history is indeed very beneficial to the current situation."

"Emperor Xiu is not here now, and I can't hear your praise." Sikong Tong said with a smile: "After the queen has reflected, I will not restrain her in Xianyang Palace forever. Waiting for your wedding to the crown princess, Jiaerjia Of course, a woman must pay homage to her parents. Chen'er, you have to remember. I understand that it is hard to let go of the love between children, but a man, especially you, as the crown prince of a country, should love and respect your first wife.

Wansu is talented, gentle and respectful. She is worthy of being a mother to the world and a suitable harem. She is not like your mother... I do not mean to belittle the queen, but the queen is too narrow-minded and her actions are indeed contrary to benevolence and justice. "

"My son, I will obey my father's instructions."

It would be better if you really listen, but Sikong Tong knew that this was all, and any more words would be just superfluous.

Sikong Tong called Zhang Yong and ordered: "Let the middle-aged female historian come too. She will be able to hear the political affairs for a while. Let people prepare paper and inkstones... Do not let foreign ministers know about this matter for the time being, but it must be recorded." book memory."

Just listening to His Majesty the Emperor's words, the next thing to be discussed was a confidential matter, but Sikong Beichen didn't realize that his mind was still filled with His Majesty's words just now. It seemed that he was revealing his intention to bring Ying to the throne in the future. Shu promised to be betrothed, but she reminded him not to pamper his concubine and destroy his wife, not to neglect his wife because of their children's affair, and not to neglect the country and the country for the sake of their children's affair.

When Yingshu came under the order, she happened to meet Sikong Yuehu outside the hall. She guessed that since this person was also summoned, the discussion was probably about military affairs. She first saluted Sikong Yuehu and then entered the room. He saluted the emperor again, then silently took his seat, shut his mouth, pricked up his ears, and then heard the news that He Zhi had been defeated.

The expedition against Shuzhou failed?

At this time in her previous life, Yingshu had not paid attention to military and political matters, but she had not heard the news of the failure of the expedition against Shuzhou. This seemed to prove that the imperial court's counterinsurgency campaign was extremely smooth and did not cause panic. But did it turn defeat into victory? ...Yingshu quietly observed His Majesty.

Obviously, His Majesty is very worried.

If Your Majesty knew the outcome, he would not be so worried. It seems that this matter has really turned around.

Sikong Beichen finally regained his composure. He was so surprised that it almost showed on his face.

How could He Zhi be defeated? Although Jiang Ke's two sons were brave and good at fighting, there were only a thousand troops stationed in Shuzhou. How could they be a match for the three thousand elite soldiers led by He Zhi? In his previous life, He Zhiming obviously won a great victory, quickly pacified Shuzhou, beheaded Jiang Ke and his son, and sent them to Jiankang. Jiangdong He was once proud of his glory, but later it was slightly reduced under the joint efforts of Chenjun Xie and Changping Zheng. However, He Zhi was still able to expand his private army. Otherwise, when he ascended the throne, how could he accept the He family's daughter into the palace and make her a noble concubine?

"How could the Yizhou Army lose?" Sikong Yuehu was the one who directly expressed doubts. He was also extremely shocked: "The Yizhou Army has three thousand warriors, and it is easy to quell the rebellion in Shuzhou. Governor He not only knows the terrain and armament of Yizhou and Shu very well, He is also known as a brave and strategic general. This is the battle for the He family in Jiangdong to gain independence. Without political enemies to restrain him, Governor He will definitely go all out. How could he fail to attack Shuzhou for a long time and end up losing troops and generals?"

"According to the battle report sent by He Ao, it is said that there are far more than a thousand defenders in Shuzhou. The number of troops who ambushed the Yizhou Army alone was more than 3,000 cavalry." Sikong Tong patted the battle report on the desk, and Ying Shu hurried over. It was better to submit the battle report to Sikong Beichen first.

Things are strange.

Sikong Yuehu frowned tightly and said decisively: "It is impossible for the Shuzhou army to reach more than 3,000 cavalry, and I am sure that there are no rebellious troops in the nearby counties of Shuzhou."

"Then... was Governor He lying about the military situation?" Sikong Beichen knew it was impossible but could only ask this question.

"The prerequisite for lying about military information is failure, but if Shuzhou did not receive reinforcements from the sky, the Yizhou army would not have failed due to lack of preparation." Sikong Yuehu said.

Falling from the sky? Sikong Tong clenched his fist and leaned forward: "Could it be military reinforcements from the Northern Han Dynasty?"

When the emperor asked about the word "Northern Han", even Yingshu felt nervous - His Majesty personally conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, was wounded in an ambush, and unfortunately died on the way back to the court. Chang'an, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, was originally owned by Daji. The capital of the country, later three major warlords fought for hegemony, Daji was overthrown, and Chang'an was under the control of the Xiahou family. However, the Xiahou dynasty established its capital in Luoyang. Zhao, the Xianbei tribe at that time entered from the west and occupied Chang'an to establish the Northern Han Dynasty.

"If the Northern Han Dynasty intends to send troops to support Shuzhou and cannot bypass the Yizhou Pass, it is impossible for Governor He to be unaware of it." Sikong Yuehu said: "I suspect that this cavalry descending from the sky should have entered Shu via the Western Qiang. .”

"Jiang Ke not only plotted rebellion, but also dared to collude with foreigners?!" Sikong Beichen was filled with indignation.

Yingshu concentrated on recording, but she was very disdainful of Sikong Beichen: Jiang Ke had already raised his troops to rebel, so why would he care about one more crime of colluding with foreign enemies? Three thousand brave men from the Yizhou Army surrounded Shuzhou City. Facing such a powerful enemy, Jiang Ke knew that his defense of Shuzhou would be completely defeated sooner or later. At the critical moment, with "surprise soldiers from heaven" helping him to fight against the odds, would he still refuse?

"Da Lang and Si Lang, do you have any countermeasures?" Sikong Tong looked serious.

Sikong Yuehu did not express his opinion first. He secretly planned: If the cavalry really entered Shu via Xiqiang, it would indeed put pressure on Yizhou. But if foreign troops near Yizhou were mobilized to support them, the governors and governors would If it is difficult to work together with He Zhi, I am afraid that the civil strife will become more intense and even affect the situation of the government! It is precisely because of this that my father did not announce the defeat of the Yizhou Army to the court first. This time around the chaos in Shuzhou, I am afraid that the Chinese army will have to be dispatched!

But can distant water put out a nearby fire?

Jiang Ke has more than a thousand defenders. Near Shuzhou, there are at least 3,000 cavalry to support, and more than 5,000 enemy troops. The Chinese army must have at least 5,000 brave reinforcements, and the person leading the reinforcements cannot be Jiang Donghe. Opponent...

Just listen to Sikong Beichen say: "I am willing to lead the army to help Yizhou!"
