After sending Wu Liangha away, Zhu Qiyu struck while the iron was hot, closed the door with Zhao Xuan, and discussed secretly for a whole afternoon based on the information Wu Liangha presented.
It wasn't until it got dark that the two of them finished talking. Zhu Qiyu stretched out and told Zhao Xuan: "Go back to Baoding Mansion in person tomorrow to meet your father and bring the battle plan we just made. .
I have also prepared the troop transfer documents from the Ministry of War, as well as the secret decree allowing your father to take over the defense of Zijingguan with full authority. I have prepared them for you to take with you.
In another twenty days, the first cavalry would break through the Bauhinia Pass and attack the capital. Your father immediately led 20,000 people from Daning Dusi and 10,000 Japanese soldiers from Han Qing, a total of 30,000 people, to take over Zijingguan.
You must tell your father that as long as you hold the Zijin Pass, you can send a small group of troops to attack, but the large army should not leave the city. As long as I can force you to take a long detour to Duomaguan, your father will have done a great job. When the time comes, I will include all the 20,000 Daning troops guarding the pass as personal guards, and I will be heavily rewarded. "
Zhao Xuan quickly accepted the order, and Zhu Qiyu further instructed: "This battle plan must be kept secret. Only the commander-in-chief of Daning Dusi and the generals above Qianshi can know.
Don't tell Han Qing first. Although Han Qing is a good general and loyal to the court, we have never had contact with him. Who knows if he is from the civil service.
I will give your father Shang Fang a sword, five sets of flags ordered by the king, and write in the secret decree that if Han Qing refuses to obey the transfer order, he will be detained immediately, and if Han Qing's Japanese soldiers make any changes, they will be killed immediately. Let your father and others do things freely. If anything goes wrong, I will personally bear all the consequences. "
After hearing this, Zhao Xuan happily accepted the order without any worries.
Zhu Qiyu had been chatting about business all afternoon, and now he was tired and hungry, so he headed all the way to Concubine Wu's palace, intending to have a meal nearby.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the concubine's palace, he heard the sweet laughter of a group of warblers and swallows. Zhu Qiyu was so frightened that he quickly backed away, almost wanting to leave first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he was blocked by Mu Yu who came in with food. Mu Yu asked with a smile: "Where does the master come from and where is he going?"
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to reply in embarrassment: "I originally wanted to have a meal, but when I heard there were so many people inside, I was afraid that I would not have enough food because I was alone, so I wanted to go home to find the princess."
Hearing this, Mu Yu teased: "Master, please stop messing with the slaves. You are the backbone of our family. Even if we are hungry and don't eat, we will not miss your rations."
I guess today it was the turn of the four concubines under the Jade Concubine to sleep with her. When the master heard that they were all inside, he felt too much pressure, so he wanted to grease his soles, turn around and run away, right? "
Zhu Qiyu smiled sheepishly: "You girl, you are really a roundworm in my belly. It's been a month and I haven't touched the eight girls under Qianxue and Suxi, and now I suddenly want to go to bed with them. It's really embarrassing.
I don’t know if they voluntarily became my women, or if they were coerced by Qianxue and Suxi and had to follow me. "
Hearing this, Mu Yu said angrily: "Master is obviously from a noble family in Tianhuang, but why does he always put himself in other people's shoes for fear of making them uncomfortable?
We all sincerely regard ourselves as your slaves. You don't have to take into account our feelings. We can do whatever we want. "
"How about that?"
Zhu Qiyu wanted to say more, but the concubine inside asked loudly: "Who is talking outside? Why don't you come in quickly?"
The two hurriedly entered the inner room and saw the concubine leaning comfortably on the bed in the back, and Chao Yun was squeezing the concubine's shoulders there. On the side, Qianxue and her four concubines sat around the table on the kang, chatting and laughing with the concubine to relieve their boredom.
When everyone saw Zhu Qiyu coming in, they were about to stand up and salute, but the concubine waved her hand: "No, no, no, no, no. My son is really at home, why would he come out wearing a bright yellow dragon robe to scare people."
Zhu Qiyu also got on the kang, sat down under the concubine, and said with a smile: "I don't want to wear these crappy things. It's just a long story and I can't help it.
By the way, what are you talking about? You are so happy. I, the little ladies, don’t know the importance of it. Didn’t you make your mother and concubine angry? "
The concubine replied with a smile: "No way, you have these fifteen wives, each of them has many advantages and specialties, I like them all.
She is much better than your former Princess Wang. That Wang had a very naughty personality. In addition, she was a direct confidant of the Empress Dowager. She stared at me with a cold face all day long. I saw She felt uncomfortable. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he could only shake his head and sigh, but the girls present felt in disbelief. Qianxue asked curiously: "Concubine, are you bluffing us? No matter how bold Princess Tao is, she won't dare to look down on her."
The concubine smiled bitterly and said: "You are so pampered by the emperor that you are almost in heaven. Naturally, you don't understand how fiercely the concubines in the late emperor's harem fought.
Think about it, the late emperor lived a total of thirty-seven years, but only gave birth to two sons with so many concubines. Just think about it and you will know how cruel the fight between the concubines was. The late Emperor only favored the current Empress Dowager Sun, and even the real Empress Hu was deposed from the post and was forced to become a monk and become a Taoist nun.
I became pregnant with your husband because the late Emperor accidentally visited me because the Queen Mother Sun was pregnant and was about to give birth. She was unable to concentrate and neglected to take precautions.
You can imagine how much Empress Dowager Sun hates me. My mother and I have been driven out of the palace since we were children. The Queen Mother Wang was personally selected by the Empress Dowager Sun, and she was one of the direct relatives of the Empress Dowager Sun.
Legally speaking, Queen Mother Sun is Wang's official mother-in-law. I am a concubine, and a concubine at that. A concubine that couldn't be more despicable. Do you think Mrs. Wang might have a good attitude towards me? "
When the girls heard the words, they suddenly realized. Qianxue quickly replied: "It turns out that there is such a joint among them, and my husband has never told us about it. But we all regard our mother-in-law as our mother-in-law, and we will never pay attention to outsiders. .”
The concubine nodded happily: "Good boy, you are such a good daughter-in-law. I know that you are all very filial. But in the future, you must not have any dealings with the people of Prince Nie's Mansion. You are young and don't know the depth of it. That of Prince Nie's Mansion They are all the cronies of the Empress Dowager Sun and the Supreme Emperor, and we cannot afford to offend them.
My silly son is good at everything, his only flaw is that he is too kind-hearted. If I follow my temper and pick up my grandchildren, then send my personal guards to surround Prince Xin's palace and light it on fire, then it will be over. As for whether it will be so troublesome, there will still be a lot of hidden dangers left. "
From a patriarchal perspective, Concubine Wu is now invincible. As long as she is shameless enough, even if Queen Mother Sun comes, she will not be able to do anything to Concubine Wu.
So Mrs. Wu could say whatever she wanted now without any scruples, but the little wives present did not dare to answer the question anymore.
Zhu Qiyu changed the subject and talked about his own business: "I have something I want to ask my mother and concubine for help."
When the concubine heard this, she immediately became interested: "For what purpose can I, an old woman like me, be used?"
"I think, move all the people around our palace, and then build a strong inner palace wall to surround our palace inside, and then build a larger and stronger outer palace wall.
Between the inner palace wall and the outer palace city, in the four directions of east, west, north and south, a barracks and a school field were built, as well as granaries and arsenals. Ten thousand guards were stationed in each barracks.
Only in this way can we ensure our safety. There are 40,000 personal guards defending the palace. Unless someone can mobilize the entire Beijing army to rebel together, our palace cannot be breached. "
The concubine nodded: "What a good idea. It's definitely a good idea to sail the ten-thousand-year-old ship carefully and strengthen the defense of the palace. What do you need me to do?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled sheepishly and said: "I need my mother-in-law to come forward and talk to the people around us to persuade them to move away. We will pay and double the compensation for them."
"Oh, the co-author asked me to be the bad guy. Why don't you let the princess go?"
"Princess, I have arranged for her to offend Yu Qian, the Minister of War on my behalf. We can't do it alone. It's really too much to let her take on all the bad guys by herself.
Besides, there are many noble families around us, and they may not be willing to give Princess Qi face. As the saying goes, if a veteran takes action, one can stand up to the three, so it still requires the mother, Princess Xuanyi, to go into battle in person. "
"Okay, stop talking so much. It's not enough for you to order fifteen top beauties to do this and that. You have to make me, Princess Xuanyi, walk around in order to be happy."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he quickly bowed and bowed: "Mother and Concubine Shengming, I leave everything to my mother and concubine."
