Here Guo Shengtong is figuring out how to get more Nandi clans to send noble girls into the harem.But on the other side of the Yin family, they are planning how to pry her corner.

"Guest, Hebei is here." The old man driving the ox cart said with Yin Xing.

"Thank you, old man." Yin Xing nodded, and his long follower, Yin Ming, immediately took out a few copper coins from his purse and handed them to the old driver.

"Thank you."

Yin Xing and Yin Ming got out of the ox cart in a hurry, went to the inn by the roadside, and stayed there first.

"Lang Jun." Yin Ming said, "How should we..."

"Hush," Yin Xing said, "take a rest. Don't forget that my name is Dong Xing now. You are Dong Ming."

"No, no." Yin Ming nodded repeatedly.

The two recognized the direction, bowed their heads and hurried away...

----

As soon as Liu Xiu left the court, he heard that people from the Changqiu Palace asked to see him.

As soon as he was overjoyed, emotions that he couldn't even explain welled up in his heart.

"Call someone to come." He said, then knelt down on the head, flipped through the memorial, and pretended to be very busy.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant is Alu, a palace maid from Changqiu Palace." Alu said, "Your Majesty wants to make Young Envoy Xu the Bazi Xu, and I am here to ask Your Majesty for permission."

When Liu Xiu heard the words, she couldn't hide her disappointment: "This matter is not a major matter, the queen can decide on her own. Is it just for this reason that she called you here?"

"No," Ah Lu bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, the empress has something to say, there are very few sisters in the harem, please accept it. It is the right thing to spread the leaves."

Liu Xiu was annoyed, and waved her hand: "Tell your mother, it's important to have a baby with peace of mind!"

"No, no." A Lu was frightened by Liu Xiu's attitude, and hurriedly bowed her head in agreement.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The guards rushed over, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"

----

Front hall.

"What?" Deng Yu turned pale with shock, "General Pang Meng is rebellious?"

Liu Xiu's face was livid: "Not bad."

Liu Xiu was very angry at Pang Meng's betrayal.He has always felt that he has the skills to control people, and he can recognize talents with eyesight.And Pang Meng was one of the talents he once thought was very reliable.

After Guanzhong was pacified and Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang City, Liu Yong, a member of the Han family surnamed Liu, also proclaimed himself emperor and became emperor.And he has a general named Zhang Bu under him.Speaking of which, this step is also a talent, he is from Langye County, and he was born in the chaos.After the rebellion in this county, he became the leader.Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan once sent someone to summon security.It's a pity that no agreement was reached, but after Liu Xuan's death, Zhang Bu immediately took refuge in Liu Yong, a son of the Han Dynasty.

Having said that, in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Liu family with Han blood were really worthless. The Red Eyebrow Army could find more than 100 descendants of the Han family by casually searching. In the end, Liu Penzi was caught by drawing lots. emperor.It can be seen that the fertility of the Han royal family is strong.

Now that we talked about Zhang Bu, we have to talk about Liu Yong, the emperor he took refuge in.Living in troubled times, with the surname Liu and the blood of the royal family, Liu Yong is naturally unwilling to do nothing for the rest of his life.He was Liang Wang when Liu Xuan was the emperor.When Liu Xuan stepped down, he immediately proclaimed himself emperor.And continue to implement Liu Xuan's policy back then, and continue to recruit Zhang Bu.

However, his conditions are much more favorable than Liu Xuan's.So Zhang Bu naturally took refuge in him.Liu Yong was delighted for a few days.Liu Xiu sent Huya General Gai Yan and Zhongshi Lang Pang Meng to attack Liu Yong.

This is an antecedent.

Zhang Bu was not easy to deal with, otherwise Liu Xuan would not have been unable to attack him back then.Now that Zhang Bu wants to follow Liu Yongqian again, Gai Yan has fought really hard in this battle.Seeing that Gai Yanchi was unable to take down Zhang Bu, Liu Xiu had to change generals temporarily, asking Geng Yan to fight Zhang Bu, and Gai Yan to fight Haixi King Dong Xian.But Liu Xiu was only thinking about the military situation at that time, so he only issued one edict, which was sent to Gai Yan.

This is nothing, but Pang Meng is an extremely sensitive person.He was Liu Xuan's former subordinate back then, and after Liu Xuan's defeat, he took refuge in Liu Xiu.He is usually very humble and obedient.It can satisfy Liu Xiuhao's wish to be a teacher.As a result, she became more and more favored by Liu Xiu, and more than once, Liu Xiu said to Pang Meng that he was very good: "Pang Meng is the one who can entrust a six-foot orphan and send a hundred miles of life."

As Liu Xiu's confidant, Deng Yu naturally knew how much Liu Xiu valued Pang Meng.It was precisely because of this that he was even more puzzled: "Why did General Pang rebel!"

Why?Why do you want to oppose it? !

Liu Xiu's assassination of the general gave an incomplete answer.

"During the battle with Zhang Bu, Pang Meng and Gai Juqing were somewhat at odds. I'm afraid I'm going to punish him!" Liu Xiu said angrily.

How clever Deng Yu is, he thought about it and thought of Pang Meng's concerns——

Pang Meng was originally a descendant, and he knew that Gai Yan had disagreements when he attacked Zhang Bu. Now he knows that His Majesty issued an edict to Gai Yan, ordering him to attack Dong Xian, but he did not receive the edict!

I'm afraid he thinks that His Majesty doubts himself, or that Gai Juqing has sued His Majesty about himself.

Deng Yu sighed: "Pang Meng's mind is too sensitive."

In addition, he also didn't understand Liu Xiu's thoughts. If he did, he should understand that one defeat would make Liu Xiu feel more at ease in using him.

"You think so?" Liu Xiu sneered, "I thought so too."

"Anything else?" Deng Yu was taken aback.

Liu Xiu took out a memorial written on fresh paper and threw it to Deng Yu: "Look carefully. That person who pretends to be cautious and modest is extremely ambitious."

Deng Yu hurriedly took a closer look, and then was shocked: "What! Juqing was defeated!"

"Pang Meng defeated Gaiyan's army, and then joined forces with Dong Xian, the king of Haixi, and called himself the king of Dongping." Liu Xiu said word by word, "What worry is that I don't trust him and want to rebel in a hurry. It's all just evasive words. The world still I thought it was me, Liu Xiu, who forced him to rebel!"

Deng Yu naturally knew that Pang Meng's matter really touched Liu Xiu's back.He hurriedly said: "The thief is hateful, his heart can be punished!"

Liu Xiu finally smiled at this time: "Wolf ambition! You have been lurking by my side for so many years, and you really think I am weak and can be bullied? Zhonghua, I want to lead the army to conquer myself, and I will kill Pang Meng and return!"

Deng Yu was the only one pondering.In the past, he would have followed Liu Xiu completely, taking his ideas as his own.

But now, he no longer has the zeal for following Liu Xiu that he used to.After a little thought, he knew what he should do to satisfy Liu Xiu.

Deng Yu knelt down, made a big salute, and made a sour look: "Your Majesty must not! The son of a daughter does not sit in the court! How can your majesty lead the conquest? Yu is not talented, and is willing to go to Pang Meng for my emperor!"

"I've made up my mind! Zhonghua has to persuade me again!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is about to give birth, and the baby in her womb is about to be born. How can Your Majesty be a thief and miss a big deal?" Deng Yu said seriously.

A moment of hesitation flashed across Liu Xiu's face, and then he was filled with righteous indignation: "The affairs of the world are important matters. How can a man be greedy for the love of his children? Zhonghua, I have made up my mind. I have summoned you to entrust the safety of Luoyang City and the Queen to you." ..."

"Your Majesty must not do it!" Deng Yu was truly astonished at this time, "Your Majesty must not do it! How can Yu have virtue? Yu dare not take such a heavy responsibility!"

A flash of appreciation flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes, but he still said firmly: "I trust Zhonghua, and I watch the civil and military affairs of the court. Only those who believe, Zhonghua also!"

When Deng Yu heard this, he couldn't help but want to sneer.He hastily lowered his head: "I don't dare to betray His Majesty's entrustment. Only by working hard can I repay Your Majesty's trust!"

----

Five days later, Liu Xiu personally led the army to Yaocheng.

Guo Shengtong led the people of the harem to see Liu Xiu off in front of the gate of Wangcheng.

"Your Majesty," Kui Nu handed a glass of warm wine to Guo Shengtong, Guo Shengtong raised it above his head, and with the help of Kui Nu, he bowed slightly, "Please drink this glass of wine, Your Majesty. I will wait behind for the triumphant return of all heroes." Come!"

When Liu Xiu got the wine, he was full of pride: "Okay! Boys, take the wine!"

All the soldiers had already lined up outside the palace gate, with pottery bowls full of wine in their hands.Hearing this, Qiqi roared, "No!"

Then everyone drank it all.Liu Xiu raised the empty bowl and threw it to the ground.All the soldiers smashed their bowls together, and the sound was like thunder, and it was endless.

"I don't mean to say that I have no clothes, and I'm in the same robe as my son! Wang Yuxing master, repair my spear. I have the same hatred as my son!" Liu Xiu turned and sang.

"Is there no clothes? I have the same color as my son. The king Yu Xingshi repaired my spear and halberd. I worked together with my son! Did I say no clothes? I wore the same clothes as my son. The king Yu Xingshi repaired my armored soldiers. Walk with me!" Qi Qi sang.

After a song, Liu Xiu got on his horse and said, "My sons, come with me!"

"No!" The momentum was like a rainbow.All the soldiers got on their horses and followed Liu Xiu to Yaocheng...

----

After Liu Xiu left, the harem was really dominated by Guo Shengtong at this time.

Let's talk about Xu Bazi.She was originally an ordinary palace maid who swept the front hall.That's why, when she first arrived at Yilan Palace, Yin Lihua didn't think she had any luck.Since she is an ordinary palace maid with no luck, even if she is appointed as a minor envoy, she doesn't think there is any hidden danger.So be very loose with her.

But unexpectedly, it was this plain, ordinary, and humble palace man who easily won Liu Xiu's favor again.And he jumped two levels and became Xu Bazi.

Now Yin Lihua couldn't sit still.

She really didn't expect that such a woman should be so underestimated.You know, since she entered the palace, she hasn't slept with Liu Xiu yet.But this woman got lucky twice easily.

Xu Bazi was not a fool. In fact, she was destined not to be a fool if she could go from being a palace servant to a young envoy, and then from a young envoy to Bazi's position.You know, she is just a Yue girl with no background, and her appearance is ordinary.

After she was named the eighth son, she analyzed the pros and cons in detail, and finally decided to take refuge in Guo Shengtong.

Therefore, she is now kneeling outside Changqiu Palace with her maid Amei.The most standard gift was used.

"Oh? Xu Bazi actually asked to see me?" Guo Shengtong laughed, and handed the book in his hand to Kui Nu, "This is strange."

She thought that Xu Shi would continue to choose to follow Yin Lihua in this life.

Well, it's no surprise, though.In her previous life, she was indeed inferior to Yin Lihua in terms of appearance and sacred heart.It is reasonable for the Xu family to choose Yin Lihua.

"Kui Nu, do you think I saw it, or didn't I see it?" She laughed.

If she wanted to play Gong Dou, she would of course have to unite with the Xu family and support her, but she didn't want to play.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you see her or not," Kui Nu whispered, "Anyway, let's not go into that muddy water. Let the Xu family fight with the Yin family."

"See you over there," Guo Sheng said, "I heard that Xu's little songs have a special charm. I haven't heard of them yet."

Kui Nu winked at A Feng, and A Feng went out immediately.Then Kui Nu put away the book in her hand and waited for Guo Shengtong to sit down.As soon as she was seated, Ah Feng led Xu Shaoshi and her maidservant in.

Guo Shengtong looked over and saw that Shaoshi Xu was wearing a light green palace attire, with a flowing cloud bun on his head, and a solemn green jade hairpin inserted obliquely.Although his appearance is ordinary, he looks a little timid because of his brows are always slightly frowning.

"My servant kowtowed to the empress, wishing her a long life!" Xu Bazi knelt down and made a big salute.

"Get up," Guo Shengtong frowned and reprimanded lightly, "Why bother with such a great gift?"

"Your Majesty offered me a place, I am very grateful. I am willing to do my best for your Majesty." Xu Bazi hurriedly said.

Guo Shengtong's face turned serious when he heard the words: "Absurd! It is His Majesty's will to raise your position. It is enough for you to serve His Majesty well. You are ashamed of your Majesty's love for you to put the credit on others at will."

Xu Bazi's legs went limp, and he was puzzled why Guo Shengtong reacted like this.

She looked at Guo Shengtong aggrievedly: "Mother, concubine, concubine..."

"What are you crying for?" Kui Nu took a step forward and helped Xu Bazi up with a smile, "Stop crying, you won't be so red-eyed that if you go out and don't know, you will think that my maidservant in Changqiu Palace doesn't know how to treat guests. Your lord Anyway, feel sorry for us.”

While being supported by her, Xu Bazi was thinking about the meaning of Guo Sheng's call.Could it be that she was too eager for quick success?

"If you have nothing to do, go down." Guo Shengtong said lazily, "I am heavy and very tired."

How could Xu Bazi just retreat like this?It was with great difficulty that she entered the guarded and impenetrable Changqiu Palace.Now among the three in the harem, she is the most humble. During these days, she has noticed the change in Madam Yin's attitude towards her.Maybe Mrs. Yin didn't know it herself, she was already on guard against her.

Xu Bazi grew up in the countryside and lived in the city since childhood.The best thing is to observe words and expressions.If not, how could she be so bold and resolute in seducing Liu Xiu that day, and become Xu Shaoshi?How can he accurately judge Liu Xiu's mood, deliver food late at night, and become Xu Bazi?

But now, she encountered setbacks for the first time as an art of observing people.Yes, she couldn't see through, guess, or predict what Guo Shengtong would do next.It stands to reason that she is a dagger delivered to the door.And shouldn't the relationship between Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua be a hostile relationship, right?Why, she didn't use the knife she brought to her door?

Xu Bazi comforted himself: How could Empress Guo not remember to hate Mrs. Yin?She must be just testing her reliability.

Thinking of this, Xu Bazi was immediately full of confidence.She made a timid expression: "My lady, my lady. It's been a long time for me to see you. I hope... I hope I can... My lady is so beautiful, she is really lovely. I want to serve my lady more. Son. Mistress Wanwang agrees."

Her voice was soft, like a bird's cry.It sounds really nice.

Kui Nu thought of what Guo Shengtong said before, so she smiled: "Your Majesty, the nobleman is kind, so let me agree. The servant girl heard that the nobleman sang melodiously and nicely, and the empress would like to listen to it?"

Xu Bazi's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard "The Song of Yue People?"

Of course I have!And more than once.But it's all a thing of the past.Xu Meiren is good at singing songs, who doesn't know?

Guo Shengtong's eyes dimmed: "It never happened."

Amei, the maidservant next to Xu Bazi, took a step on her knees at this time: "Ma'am, my master is good at singing songs, and the lyrics are quite novel. Madam, can you listen to me?"

"So," Guo Shengtong pondered, "good."

Xu Bazi was overjoyed, coughed hastily, cleared his throat, and began to sing...

"It's not a coincidence that I was waiting." Geng Chun looked at Deng Yu and said.

The voice in the room was mellow, so Deng Yu refused Xiaohuangmen's announcement, and the two listened attentively.

"...The mountains have trees, and the trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, and the king doesn't know..."

"What music is this?" Geng Chun said.

"If there is no mistake, it is the folk song of Yue."

"I'm afraid there is only one who is more human in the palace and can sing in Changqiu Palace." Geng Chun's eyes were deep.

"What is General Geng worried about?" Deng Yu asked.

Geng Chun ignored him, a man from the south, and just smiled: "Please tell your lord, I will see you when I have something important."

"No. No." Xiao Huangmen nodded in panic and ran in.

----

"Both adults are here?" Guo Shengtong asked.

"No." Xiao Huangmen said.

Then Guo Shengtong turned to Xu Bazi: "I can't entertain you anymore. You should go back to Yilan Hall first. I already know why you are here today. You don't have to be afraid, Mrs. Yin has always been virtuous and generous. You don't need to think too much, just go .”

!!!

Xu Bazi was struck by lightning.She really wanted to tell the smiling and sincere empress in front of her: You are so naive!The Yin family is so virtuous and virtuous!Where is she generous?If I stay in the Yilan Palace any longer, I'm afraid... Empress Empress, you can't be so cruel!

"I saw you, and you are indeed a gentle and gentle beauty, making people feel comfortable. I can't blame His Majesty for liking you. It's just that your mind is too sensitive, as if you always want to have something. You must know that in this Han Palace, as long as you get it The emperor's favor is the best." Guo Shengtong smiled lightly.

Xu Bazi suddenly realized!

Yes, why should she be afraid of the Yin family?As long as she acts cautiously enough, in order to maintain her image, the Yin family can't do anything to her!Just stay until His Majesty returns!Yes, as long as His Majesty returns.She tried her best to please His Majesty, and she would always live better than that unfavored Yin family!

Seeing Xu Bazi's bright eyes, Guo Shengtong knew that she had an idea.She smiled lightly: "Kui Nu, send the nobleman off for me."

"No." Kui Nu touched the belongings in her bosom that had been prepared for Xu Bazi, and walked over.

Xu Bazi has ambitions, no status, no wealth.Mrs. Yin is ambitious, has status, and has no extra money.Then she, Guo Shengtong, gave Xu Bazi a lot of money.Next, she only needs to raise the fetus.

When Xu Bazi went out with his maid, he bumped into Deng Yu and Geng Chun.

She blushed slightly, glanced at them, and hurriedly avoided them.

Deng Yu and Geng Chun only glanced at her briefly, then hurried into the hall.

----

The three sat around.Screening away the maids, leaving only Sunflower and Feng Xueyu Lu, they began to discuss in detail.

"Bo Zhao is in big trouble this time," Geng Chun said. Because he has the same surname as Geng Yan, and even the characters are similar, so the two have a very good relationship. "My lady, please read this letter."

Kui Nu took it and handed it to Guo Shengtong. After reading it, she pondered for a while: "General Geng Yan is really in trouble this time."

"Yes," Geng Chun glanced at Deng Yu, "Please make up your mind about this matter, whether to send someone to inform His Majesty."

"No need," Deng Yu said, "Brother Boshan, you really don't have to be on guard against me. Although I'm from the Southland, I'm not ignorant of the overall situation."

It is really a bitter tear!When Liu Xiu left, Deng Yu was ordered to temporarily take charge of the government affairs and guard the Han Palace, but he also sent Geng Chun, who was born in the north, as his deputy.From then on, Deng Yu lived a life full of ridicule.

No matter what he does, Geng Chun is always on guard.This time, as soon as Geng Yan's letter arrived in Luoyang City, Geng Chun became even more exaggerated, and even followed him to change his clothes, for fear that he would pass on news to people in the South.

It's cruel to say it!Change clothes to follow!The book room is so stinky, General Geng Chun, how can you stand it!

Coming to Changqiu Palace at this time, Geng Chun displayed the spirit of conjoined twins and never left every step!

Deng Yu explained to him several times that he would not communicate with people from the South.But he just didn't believe it.

Well, Geng Chunzhen is a good boy from the north, and he can't complain that he can defeat everyone with one.Forcibly breaking out of the encirclement of a large number of southern soldiers, Liu Xiu sent all civil and military officials to welcome Guo Shengtong into the city first.

Standing in the same trenches now.Deng Yu had no choice but to praise him sincerely: "General Geng, you are such a man!" '

'However, if you don't follow me every day, it would be even better if you can listen to my explanation! '

Therefore, Geng Chun who forced the great Sima Deng Yu to this point is really amazing.

Geng Chun listened to Deng Yu's No.30 position statement seven times at this time, but still didn't believe it: "General Deng is joking."

Guo Shengtong saw that Deng Yu's expression was as expected after listening to Geng Chun's words.As expected, he still had an abusive expression, and couldn't help but smile: "General Geng, I can testify that Mr. Deng is on the side of the Northland faction."

"Your Majesty, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart..." Geng Chun turned his head and said earnestly, "Some people look very upright, but they are rotten inside..."

"Brother Boshan, I'm still here." Deng Yu said coldly.

Kui Nu, the handmaid who knew the situation best, couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing out loud.

"General Geng Chun," Guo Shengtong said, intending to win them over, "General Deng is trustworthy."

"Mother..." Geng Chun tried to wake Guo Shengtong up.

"Don't doubt me, okay, let's talk about General Geng Yan first." Guo Sheng said.

The two looked serious, and said in unison: "No."

Guo Shengtong slid his fingertips over Geng Yanzhi's letter: Among the 28 generals in Yuntai, there are quite a few who have suffered defeats.Many generals might have died without Liu Xiu's command.But only Geng Yan didn't need Liu Xiu's command.It seems that if you want him to go to the battlefield, there is no one who cannot be dealt with, and there is no battle that cannot be won.Such a talent, since there is an opportunity to get it now, why not easily give up the opportunity to Liu Xiu!

With a conclusion in her mind, she straightened her body and picked up a fruit from several fruit plates: "From the letter, we can see that Zhang Bu's thief has set up several lines of defense. One of them is to wish Ah Cheng here."

She put the fruit on the table.To show as the first line of defense.

"However, General Geng Yan made a surprise crossing of the Yellow River. In less than half a day, he broke through the first line of defense. He also deliberately let some of the rebels escape in order to break through the psychological defense of the rebels and cause panic."

Geng Chun applauded and laughed: "Miaozai, Miaozai! The word 'psychological defense line' is very clever. Very wonderful!"

With Guo Shengtong's new words in his mouth, Deng Yu also had an expression of approval on his face.

"Thus, the second line of defense, Zhongcheng, was captured easily without any effort. General Geng Yan attacked all the way to Jinan County." Guo Sheng said.

She picked up another fruit in her hand: "Next, General Geng Yan heard that Zhang Bu was in Xi'an City, so he attacked with great ambition. And at this time!"

She patted the fruit again: "The spies made a mistake. In the two cities of Linzi and Xi'an, Zhang Bu laid down his men and horses, forming a corner. But General Geng Yan only knew that there were Zhang Bu's soldiers in Xi'an. Therefore, marching troops all the way to the city of Xi'an!"

She looked around at the two men with stern expressions, and chuckled: "Now, the two cities are connected like a snake head and a snake tail. General Geng Yan has less than [-] troops. In Xi'an City, there are at least [-] elite soldiers. In Linzi City, there are at least one lurking Thousands of elite soldiers. General Geng Yan can only ambush his troops and stay still, in a dilemma!"

"That's right! Bo Zhao is in danger!" Geng Chun slapped his thigh, "Your Majesty, you must tell His Majesty about this! Rescue is needed! How can that Grandson Zhang be so cunning!"

Deng Yu took his time, just waiting for Guo Shengtong's next move.

Sure enough, Guo Shengtong chuckled: "Tell Your Majesty? No! You can't tell Your Majesty at this time!"

"Ma'am!" Geng Chun was anxious.

"There are two reasons: first, your Majesty personally conquered Pang Meng and Dong Xian, and you all know the reason. Your Majesty is determined to kill Pang Meng. If he hears about General Geng Yan, he will add fuel to the flames. The general is at a disadvantage! Second, His Majesty has led the army to Yaocheng for several days, and Yaocheng is far away from Xi'an city. How can it be too late to return troops to rescue each other? If you send troops from Feng Yi and other generals..." Guo Shengtong smiled wryly, "You guys understand Your Majesty better than I do."

'Yes.Your Majesty does not believe Feng Yi and others now, if he has anything to do with them. ' Geng Chun thought deeply.

However, nothing is more important than human life!

Geng Chun just wanted to refute, but he heard Guo Sheng said: "So, the most urgent task now is to let General Geng Yan defeat Zhang Bu. If you win, you will return!"

"What?" Geng Chun was shocked.

Guo Shengtong stood up with the help of Kui Nu. She was condescending, looked at the two with a smile and said, "I said, we want General Geng Yan to win!"
