I am a cat in the palace

Jingzhou Prince's Mansion

The former Princess Jingguo of Liang Kingdom, and now the second concubine, Ming Zhirong sat quietly at the table as usual, holding a letter that had obviously been opened.

Those who were ordered to monitor her were too lazy to do superficial things.

She took out the letter paper inside, glanced at it briefly, and threw it into a brazier.

No matter what was written in the letter, there was nothing she could do now, she had been imprisoned in this small courtyard for three full years.

I thought that the second prince would be able to see that she had followed her through hardships and never left her, and had a kind of true love with her in times of adversity. From then on, the husband and wife lived in harmony and grew old together. In fact, she was sincerely willing to help him make contributions.

It's a pity—Ming Zhirong laughed at herself—the Goddess has a heart, but King Xiang has no dreams.

Not only has no dream, but she is also deeply wary of her. Since the Jingzhou Prince's Mansion was built, she has been imprisoned in this small courtyard in the mansion. Except for a few festivals a year, she occasionally greets the envoys of Liang Guo. Not to mention meeting her husband, she couldn't even get out of the courtyard door.

Moreover, after several years of marriage, he and her have never talked about the human relations of a normal couple.

She thought that the politeness on the wedding night came from his carelessness, but it turned out that it was just her self-righteousness, and she even almost gave her heart wrongly.

Liang Guo, can no longer naively bet all his bets on this man who has no sympathy for her. He has no sincerity towards her. Even if he really becomes a great treasure in the future, it may not be of any help to Liang Guo.

What's more, there is also an ambitious King Shun in this camp. Even if the capital is successfully captured, it is really uncertain who will actually sit on the throne in the end.

"Uncle Shun." The second prince sat on the main seat of the meeting room, and when he saw King Shun coming in, he only slightly bowed and called out to King Shun indifferently.

King Shun looked at the high-ranking nephew in the meeting hall, and saw that he was only bowing his body, and his nephew who didn't even leave his buttocks on the stool. He heard him call him Uncle Shun Wang repeatedly, and the smile on his face remained unabated, but there was a twinkle in his eyes. There was a cold light.

King Shun!King Shun!His heart has never been subdued for a day, and he hates this title!

One day, he will return this title to the person who gave it to him!

One day, he will let everyone in the world know that he, Shang Yi, is the real master of the world!

That Shang Chong who has sat on the throne for 20 years but has done nothing is worthy of being the Lord of the World. It was only because of having a mother who was the official palace back then, or because of his cowardly and stupid qualifications. What is the right to get the throne that should belong to him.

Although King Shun hid a lot of grievances in his heart, he didn't reveal anything on his face. Instead, he sat down on the lower left side of the second prince humbly, looked up and smiled at the second prince: "The weather is getting colder. It's snowing, Hui'er, your body has never been healthy, and you don't look very good these two days, you still need to pay more attention to your health."

"Thank you, Uncle Shun, for your concern. I heard that Uncle Shun has recently taken in two more beauties. Uncle Shun is not too young, so he should pay more attention to maintenance." The second prince rested his jaw with one hand, looking at Shun with a cold face king.

When King Shun heard this extremely disrespectful words, he didn't show any anger, instead he laughed: "Isn't this the king's favorite side concubine who is pregnant again? I can't tire her to serve the king anymore, so I have to recruit a few more newcomers." Entering the mansion, this will open up branches and leaves for my Great Xia royal family, and that is also the responsibility of every royal man."

"However, having said that, it seems that since your father's generation, this heir is not very rich, but in your generation of the second emperor's nephew... Hehe..." King Shun looked at the lower body of the second prince pointedly Hehe laughed twice, "Nephew, you are too puzzled, even if you don't like the Princess of Liang, you can still pick a few desirable women in Jingzhou to serve first."

"Why don't I ask Shang Jing to talk to you? You are not much different in age, but he already has four sons under his knees."

Shang Jing is the eldest son of King Shun. Although King Shun is nearly ten years younger than the old emperor, his eldest son is a few years older than the second prince.

The second prince looked at King Shun's smug face, and the arm resting on his chin couldn't help but straighten slightly, his eyes glowed red, although Mengdang who just walked in from the door didn't hear what the two uncles and nephews in the palace said before, What, but he is extremely sensitive to his ancestor's breath, but immediately felt his ancestor's ready to move, he was startled, and hurried forward to interrupt.

"Your Highness, Lord Shun, several prefects and generals have arrived and are waiting outside." While speaking, he looked at the second prince imploringly, and desperately begged his ancestors not to speak at this time. Temper, it doesn't matter if you eat King Shun, but the 20 army in King Shun's hands will turn against each other.

The red light in the second prince's eyes gradually faded, and Meng Dang wiped the sweat from his forehead in vain, and turned his head to face King Shun with a fake smile, "Our family is going to invite all the adults in, and the prince will drink tea first."

He was very polite on the surface, but in his heart he wanted to yell at King Shun: Please!Don't act like a dead man, otherwise the old ancestor may be unhappy one day, and he will eat you right away!

When all the officials and generals in the room were seated, the second prince finally spoke about the topic of calling everyone to discuss today: "Two days ago, the third son sent someone again, saying that the Yanwei army had lost more than half, and it was still serious." Lack of pay and food, if no food is given, they will retreat all the way and stick to a corner of Lingnan when the Canglan River freezes. Not only will they abandon all the eight prefectures in Lingbei, but they will also withdraw the defense line on the Canglan River. Let Yu's army go south."

"Why do you keep telling us about this kind of thing? They should send someone to the capital to talk to that traitorous concubine and the false emperor." Someone laughed immediately.

"The capital gave money this time." The second prince glanced at the people below.

Everyone was stunned, the Yanwei army had fought alone for three years, but the false emperor hadn't paid a single penny, so they actually paid this time?

"how is this possible?"

"Because the third child and Ling Wuzheng are going to be serious this time." As soon as the second prince waved his hand, an officer immediately took out the secret letter sent back from Shengyuguan.

After reading the secret letter, all the generals below were silent, and even King Shun, who had been smiling all the time, frowned.

"They actually retreated to the south?!" After a while, someone broke the silence in shock.

"Where is Ling Wuzheng's ambition? Doesn't he understand the principle that a military general should die for his country when he shrouds his body in horse leather? He actually withdraws his troops at such a critical time! As long as this winter survives, Yu State will probably withdraw its troops. They You are retreating south now!" Someone started to slap the table and roar after watching it.

King Shun stretched out his hand and pressed down lightly, signaling to everyone to be calm, but he said coolly, "I think this is probably the third brother's idea."

"He is afraid that the Yanwei army will be wiped out if they can't survive this winter, and he will have nothing to rely on. Even if the Yu Kingdom retreats, he will not have the capital to compete for the world, so he wants to choose to retreat to Lingnan. Save your strength."

"In my opinion, we don't need to pay attention to their threats at all. The barbarians in Yu State are only after women and money. Even if they invade the hinterland of our Xia State, they will at most just rob them. If they rob enough, they will naturally go back. The Yanwei army wanted to let the Yu army in, so let them do it. Anyway, we are the farthest away. Isn’t there a false emperor in the capital in front of us? When the Yu army goes south, it will be able to disperse the false emperor. The strength of the troops, can't we just reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Cai Leren, the prefect of Qiongzhou, stroked a few sparse mouse whiskers under his chin, and said with a smile, thinking he was very clever.

It's just that before he finished his sentence, a teacup flew towards his forehead, and blossomed directly on his forehead with a "bang".

Cai Leren let out a scream of "ah", and covered his forehead with his hands, blood was already overflowing between his fingers.

It was Du Shaojun, the prefect of Jingzhou, who finished throwing his own cup, and wanted to grab the cup of another colleague next to him and continue smashing it.

But he shook off the man who was holding him, and pointed straight at Cai Leren's face with a finger: "You prison officer! What nonsense are you talking about! You don't read sage books, you only have a full stomach! Things, you are in vain as a shepherd of a state, don't you know the wolf ambitions of Yu State? If you let his iron cavalry go south, how many people in our Great Xia will be displaced, and how many people will die under Yu State's iron cavalry!"

"Second Highness, Lord Shun... You have to be the masters of this official! This Du Babu has always looked down on us donated officials because of his status as an old disciple of the pavilion!"

"However, is it easy to support these hundreds of thousands of troops? They are all paid for by money. Without people like us who are full of money, how can they be supported by the dry ink in Du Babu's stomach? Can you afford these hundreds of thousands of troops?" The Cai Le man took a look at his hand covering his forehead, and seeing that his hand was dripping, he immediately started crying.

And his cry immediately made the officials below lively, and there was Qing Gao upright standing on Du Shaojun's side and accusing Cai Le people of disregarding the life and death of the people.

There are also people who have made friends with Cai Leren and scolded Du Shaojun and others for hypocrisy and hypocrites.

Arguing and arguing, some generals who were short-tempered or didn't like each other usually pinched each other.

But pinching and pinching somehow turned into a pinching between officials from the two camps of the second prince and King Shun.

This scolding is about to turn sour.

The second prince's eyes flashed red again, but this time he took the initiative to restrain his murderous intent.

"That's enough, everyone is considered a feudal official, but look at you now, you are simply a bunch of shrews! Get out of here!"

"Unexpectedly, this trick is quite useful." Wei Yin stood in front of the lamp in a cotton coat, took out the secret letter from the bamboo tube, and showed a fox-like smile on his face.

Ling Wuzheng came over from behind him, stretched out two fingers and pulled out the letter paper in his hand, and stretched out his long arms to hug him from behind: "It is only at this time that this trick is easy to use, and they wouldn't take it seriously if they used it two years earlier. .”

"Although we don't lack their food, grass and money now, this trick can make them think that we are really seriously injured, and we can catch them by surprise after the Yu Kingdom retreats." Wei Yin laughed loudly.

Ling Wuzheng saw him smiling so happily, his vivid profile gleaming under the candlelight, his heart warmed up, he immediately pulled him around, pushed him to the edge of the table by the candlelight, lowered his head and lips He kissed him hard.

Outside the window, the first snow has arrived, the night is getting dark, but the house is full of spring love...

In another courtyard, the lights in the main house had been turned off, but the people in the house were not sleeping very well.

Shang Xin didn't know what she dreamed about, she tossed and turned several times, her hot body couldn't help rubbing against the brocade quilt, she tried opening and closing her hands outside the quilt several times, but she couldn't touch anything.

He woke up suddenly, and shouted urgently in a trance: "Great Immortal! Great Immortal!"

But no "person" answered him.

He managed to gather his composure, pushed away some quilts to cool down his hot cheeks and hot body, and wanted to get out of bed to see where Daxian had gone, but just as soon as he moved, he felt a strange sensation under his body. Feel frozen.

The temperature that had just receded from his cheeks was burning hot again, he dreamed of the Great Immortal just now...

He fell back on the pillow helplessly, covering his eyes with his arms. During this time, his dreams were full of immortals...

correct!Where is Daxian?

Shang Xin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Regardless of his physical discomfort, he turned over and got out of bed, and was about to rush out the door in only his unlined clothes.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Daxian squatting on a small chair under the porch in a daze in the howling night wind of the first snow.

"Daxian, it's so late, why don't you go in? It's so cold outside." He hurried over and hugged Daxian into his arms, but the hug was like hugging a hockey puck, and he shivered from the cold.

"What are you doing in there? Do you see you having erotic dreams all by yourself?" Daxian looked at him bluntly again.

Shang Xin: ...
