Zhao Rui sat in the study and read the contents of the letter. He became so angry that he tore up the letters sent back, smashed several vases in the study, and even overturned the desk, venting his anger.
He was so angry that he gasped in anger and was extremely irritable.
This time it was so embarrassing.
This time it was so embarrassing.
Shi Songlun, his chief adviser and chief of the Chu Palace, had evil intentions towards Qin Yueyao, an important chess piece, while performing a mission in Luoyang. Although Song Lun was killed and it did not affect the plan, Qin Yueyao became Zhao Shan's woman.
Zhao Rui lost his beauty and lost his counselor Song Lun. Now Xiao Shuyu, a person who has been in contact with the Chu Palace for many years, actually reported to Zhao Shan and reported everyone including Qin Yueyao, Zhao Zhu and Gao Qihua.
One step missed, and Zhao Rui's eye contact in Luoyang was completely cut off.
After Zhao Rui vented his mania, he asked someone to clean up the mess in the study, and then sat down slumped, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
This was not the first time he sent troops to deal with Zhao Shan.
Once, Japan sent troops to attack Zhao Shan, and Zhao Rui arranged for general Han Chong to join the battle. Unfortunately, the Japanese general Yagyu Hakkei was killed, and Han Chong also died in the war.
Before Zhao Shan went to fight in Youzhou, Zhao Rui also arranged for Han Qianshan to attack Hulao Pass to attack Zhao Shan's rear, but he was still killed and suffered heavy losses.
Today, Zhao Shan is getting stronger and stronger, but Zhao Rui is completely unable to influence Zhao Shan, and the threat to Zhao Shan is getting weaker and weaker. Zhao Rui's power was also defeated in these confrontations, causing Zhao Rui to doubt himself.
Zhao Ruikong sat for a long time, and after his mood calmed down, he ordered: "Whoever comes, please inform Su Wei to discuss the matter."
The soldiers went to inform him, and Su Wei came in a hurry not long after.
Su Wei knew the situation in Luoyang and felt happy. Under Zhao Shan's operation, his sister successfully entered the palace and became Zhao Shan's concubine. The Su family has a bright future.
But for now, he can't reveal anything at all, and must stay with Zhao Rui to ensure that he continues to explore the core secrets. In fact, after Song Lun died in Luoyang, Su Wei's status was further improved.
Many government affairs are handled by Su Wei with full authority.
Zhao Rui had other civil servants and generals.
But other people can't match Su Wei's ability, nor do they have Su Wei's qualifications.
Zhao Rui quickly told what happened in Luoyang and said, "Master Su, the current situation is not good. What do you think we should do?"
Su Wei said directly: "Your Majesty, my little sister has also been arrested. This situation..."
Zhao Rui flicked his sleeves and said decisively: "What happened to Su Yunxi is indeed beyond my expectations and completely unexpected. Master Su expresses condolences for this matter, and there is no need to be too sad, because there is no need. Once Zhao is destroyed, Shan, I will resolve Yunxi’s matter, but if it doesn’t work, I will accept her as my concubine.”
Su Wei's cheeks twitched and she cursed in her heart.
Zhao Rui, you are thinking too much, my little sister is already the emperor's woman.
Su Wei calmed down and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, let's not talk about the little sister's matter for now, just take it one step at a time. Now Luoyang's hidden stakes and eyeliners have been completely wiped out. Especially Xiao Shuyu's betrayal has hit us hard. ."
"I think Zhao Shan's choice to attack Jingzhou in one go is a prelude to the attack on Jingzhou. In the spring of this year or this year, Zhao Shan will definitely come. So the top priority is to defend and be ready for war."
Zhao Rui thought carefully.
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.
The reason why Zhao Shan didn't come was not because he was unwilling, but because of his limited strength and lack of foundation. Once Zhao Shan has accumulated enough strength, he will definitely come.
Zhao Shan agreed: "Indeed, Master Su is right. Next, I will immediately mobilize the troops of the Eighteenth Village of Nanyang stationed in Nanyang to prepare for the war in the coming year."
"Great King Shengming!"
Su Wei's heart came to life.
Su Wei knew the news about the Eighteenth Village in Nanyang. Su Wei was not clear enough about the more specific defense and geographical conditions.
Su Wei's mind changed and he said: "If the king wants to send an order to the people of the Eighteen Villages in Nanyang, he must arrange for a confidant to inform and negotiate, and then give warnings and instructions one by one. Only in this way can we win the next war. ."
Zhao Rui said: "How about a visit from Master Su?"
Su Wei was eager to catch him and said: "Your Majesty, I am not familiar with the situation, so I am afraid it is inappropriate."
Zhao Rui said: "Master Su is eloquent and is the most suitable candidate. You are fully responsible for this matter. Could it be that Su Yunxi was arrested and Master Su has some thoughts in his mind?"
Su Wei's face changed drastically, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I and the imperial court are at odds with each other. I still remember the scene when my father crashed to death in the main hall. What's more, Su Wei can't repay your kindness even if he pours all the waves in the East China Sea to repay the kindness of your Majesty. , how can you have any ideas? Since the king has arranged it, I just need to go."
Zhao Rui praised: "That's more or less the same. When you go to negotiate, you have full control over what conditions Nanyang Eighteen Village needs. If the conditions are not excessive, you have the final say. If the conditions are too harsh, you can ask for instructions."
"I resign!"
Su Wei saluted and left.
He walked out of Prince Chu's Mansion, feeling happy. If he personally goes to the Eighteen Villages in Nanyang, he can find out the situation of the bandits and bandits entrenched in the Eighteen Villages in Nanyang, and he can also investigate who is the biggest force? What is the topography like?
Once these conditions are understood, they can be sent to Luoyang and handed over to Zhao Shan. As long as Zhao Shan investigates clearly and prepares in advance, he can prepare for the next attack on Zhao Rui.
After Su Wei returned to the Su family, he arranged all the things and went north in person.
It is not far from Xiangyang in Jingzhou to go north to Nanyang County. After Su Wei entered Nanyang County, he investigated the villages one by one to understand the topography and the strength of each village. It took nearly two months, already in early April, for Su Wei to complete the entire Nanyang Eighteen Villages.
The reason it took so long was that Su Wei spent enough time in each village.
Many villages take about two days, and as many as four or five days.
Su Wei investigated all the situations clearly, wrote a secret letter, and arranged for people from Dongchang to quickly send the situation of Nanyang Eighteen Villages back to Luoyang.
It was already early April when the news was sent back to Luoyang.
After reading the news, Zhao Shan also admired Su Wei's agility. He handed over the situation of Nanyang Eighteen Villages to Fang Weihu, and asked Fang Weihu's Military Aircraft Department to continue their analysis and layout.
Zhao Shanze maintained steady governance.
More than two months have passed today, and the atmosphere of the government has further improved, and Zhuge Shang has promoted more capable ministers and officials, and more and more capable ministers have entered the court, making the operation of the court more stable.
On this day, when Zhao Shan was handling government affairs in the palace, Zhang Xu came in hurriedly and reported: "Your Majesty, Empress Tuoba is about to give birth. She said her amniotic fluid has broken."
