"How did things go?" Seeing Liu Yu's arrival, the empress put down the envelope she had just opened with half of the letter paper in her hand.
The layout of Yunzhou has absolute strategic significance for the Sixteenth State of Yanyun. Before the army of beast-shaped soldiers is ready, it must be avoided from being exposed.
Otherwise, it may give Shuli Duo an opportunity to quickly integrate the Khitan army in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. Why would Shuliduo rather risk going to Beijing and being controlled by Yelu Bei than run over to embrace the news of Yelu Abaoji's death?
It's just for the Khitan army that occupies the sixteen states of Yanyun. As long as it controls this army, where is it not Xilou?
There are suspicions between the generals stationed in various states and Shuliduo, but they are not absolute. Once the usurpation of Yunzhou is exposed, Shuliduo can order in the name of Yelu Abaoji to mobilize the armies of various states to besiege Yunzhou. This kind of When it comes to Khitan's grand plan, the generals of various states have to bite the bullet no matter how reluctant they are. Even if Yunzhou cannot be captured by then, Shuliduo can take the opportunity to take control of the army.
At that time, not only the life-risking performance of Sanqianyuan will be burned down, but the news of Yelu Abaoji's death will also be ineffective.
This was related to Jiang Yunqing's grand plan. As far as the empress was concerned, even if it was Brother Wang's family letter, she had to wait a little longer.
"Currently, Shuli Duo is focusing on tracing the source of the rumors in various states. He has not raised any doubts about Yunzhou for the time being. If he does not want the generals in various states to be in trouble, even if he knows that the Xiao Agu in her camp is just a fake, he will not expose it. Yunzhou will only You need to be more vigilant, there is no danger for the time being, but..." After Liu Yu finished talking about the current situation, his voice suddenly changed, but he was a little hesitant about whether he should say it or not.
After all, he is just one of many executors, not the one who plans the strategy. What he worries about is actually not what he should worry about. He just needs to do his own thing.
"It's okay, you can continue talking, there is no need to be taboo!" The empress nodded towards Liu Yu. She had been in charge of the Qi Kingdom's government for many years, which made her think in a different way than Jiang Yunqing, who was as resourceful and strategizing as to the overall situation.
Instead, she listens to the king's advice, thinks of herself as the king, and protects the ancestors. She does not mind listening to other people's opinions.
This was the reason why Jiang Yunqing was still willing to talk with her and even cooperate with her even if she was offended at first.
Otherwise, do you really think that two bottles of healing medicine can make King Tangtang Qi turn hostility into friendship? After receiving King Qi's approval, Liu Yu suddenly lost his scruples and continued: "As time goes by, Shuli Duo will eventually find out who Yunzhou is from. Ever since the massacre in Youzhou City, the Khitan has consciously been on guard against and eliminated bad people. So much so that now among the sixteen states of Yanyun, even if the bad guys join forces with Huanyinfang, it will be difficult to completely control the intelligence."
"As the saying goes, everything cannot hide its roots. I think it won't be long before Shuliduo will notice something strange in Yunzhou again. I hope King Qi will make preparations in advance."
"Well, what you said makes sense!" The empress nodded and reassured: "But if the soldiers come to block the water and the earth covers it, as long as it is delayed long enough, the Khitan chickens and wagyuers will be defeated!"
"Delaying time?" Liu Yu murmured, and then bowed to the empress: "In that case, I will take my leave!"
"Go ahead, report any news immediately!" The empress nodded without holding back.
"Yes!" Liu Yu responded and stepped back. After Liu Yu left, the empress picked up the half-open letter on the table.
"Dong dong dong!" The empress had just picked up the letter in her hand and was about to take out the half-drawn letter paper when there was another knock on the door.
Looking up, he saw a slim figure wearing a blue skirt, with a gentle temperament and wide eyes waiting at the door.
At this time, Guangmutian's voice also sounded: "Empress Qi, it's time to drink medicine!"
"Is it already this time?" The empress murmured the letter and reluctantly put it down again. The medicine that Guangmu Tianduan brought was a medicine prepared by Taoist Qinghuan for her to regulate her body. It was related to whether she and Yun Qing could have children. This medicine had strict requirements on the time of taking it.
Brother Wang's letter is important, but compared to taking the medicine, it can be done later. After all, Brother Wang is not in crisis now, and his so-called major events are nothing more than some ill-intentioned parents and some slander against Yun Qing.
"Bring it here!" The Empress and Guangmu Tian said as they moved the half-open letter aside.
"Yes!" Guangmu Tian responded, carrying the medicine to the empress' side, and respectfully placed it on the table in front of the empress.
The empress looked at the bowl of yellow medicinal soup and felt a little frightened. Sometimes, the torture on the taste buds is quite torturous.
Don't add sugar, it's really bitter! Once or twice is okay, but over time it is inevitable that you will feel conflicted. Add sugar, it always tastes weird.
Once or twice is okay, more will make you feel nauseated. Therefore, Empress usually does not add sugar twice and then adds sugar once.
Use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of medicinal soup and put it into your mouth. Feeling the medicinal soup stir up the taste buds in your mouth, and then slide into the throat, the empress frowned slightly.
Why is it sweet? She remembered that Sishi's medicinal soup was sweet, so why was Shenshi's medicinal soup still sweet?
She had been drinking this medicine for a long time. Guangmu Tian shouldn't have made such a small mistake. But... wait, there is something wrong with this medicinal soup. Although it is sweet, it is different from the weird sweetness in the past. This sweetness is natural and not objectionable.
"But have you found new sugar?" the empress scooped up another spoonful of medicinal soup and drank it, and asked. She didn't think Guang Mu Tian dared to change her prescription without permission, so she thought it might be the sugar.
"Yes, yes!" Guangmutian responded. Sensing the confusion in Guangmutian's tone, the empress paused slightly and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"This..." Guangmutian was at a loss for words for a moment. Before he could lie to the empress, he was already very worried. But this time, the words came to his throat and he couldn't come out.
"Guangmutian!" The empress put down the spoon in her hand, and as the spoon sank into the medicinal soup, she shouted again: "Why don't you call me truthfully?" Guangmutian trembled all over,
With a "pop" sound, he knelt down beside the empress. The empress did not look at Guangmu Tian, but a chill grew on her side face.
Feeling the majesty and oppression of the empress, Guangmu Tian no longer dared to hide anything, and said with a trembling voice: "Before Mr. left, he added or subtracted a few herbs to the prescription. The additional herbs were not shipped before. I kept the original recipe. When the medicinal materials arrived at noon, I used the recipe modified by my husband without adding sugar." After a pause, Guangmutian felt that he had missed a very important point, and quickly added: "My husband asked me not to tell the empress. of."
"Well, you can go down now!" The empress's face softened, her wrists shook slightly, and she held the spoon to make waves in the bowl, feeling slightly lost in thought.
"I really can't hide anything from you!" Guangmutian left quietly, and the empress murmured to herself.
She actually knew very well that Taoist Qinghuan's medical skills were definitely not as good as Jiang Yunqing's, but she wanted to hide this matter from him.
During the days when Jiang Yunqing was here, she found various excuses to avoid taking medicine. But even so, he still couldn't hide it.
This kind of seeing through without telling the truth, helping secretly but never hiding anything, will always leave loopholes that can be seen through at a glance, and people can follow the clues to find out his behavior style, which is what made her fall little by little in the first place. swirl.
People can't think of anything bad about him, and all they think about is his good qualities. The emptiness of sixteen years has been slowly filled bit by bit by this person.
The empress sipped the medicinal soup in small sips, her mouth was sweet and her heart was also sweet. Jiang Yunqing was always like this. He could inadvertently tug at her heartstrings and make her fall in love so much that she couldn't help herself.
If there is a person who makes you extremely comfortable to get along with, then his emotional intelligence is at least one level higher than yours.
The empress was probably downwardly compatible with Jiang Yunqing in this way. But it was obvious that the empress enjoyed it, and she only had some minor worries... After drinking the medicine with joy in her heart, the empress picked up her brother's letter again.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded at the door again. The Empress frowned slightly, looked up, and saw Guangmu Tian hurriedly walked in: "To the Empress, Mr. Li has written a letter, saying that he has tortured some secrets about the Khitan from the great shaman of the Khitan, and learned that Mr. Li has gone Xilou, you must inform Mr. Wang of these secrets as soon as possible!" When she heard that Jiang Yunqing was involved, the empress's brows relaxed slightly and she once again put aside Brother Wang's half-open letter.
"Send it over and find Liu Yu."
"I've sent someone, I think they'll be here soon!" Guang Mutian stepped forward and handed the two letters to the empress.
One letter was used to explain the importance of another letter. It had been opened. Guangmutian read the contents and hurriedly came to report to the empress.
The empress read the letter that had been opened, and she could roughly feel the urgency in Li Xingyun's tone in the letter, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Yun Qing's strength, it's just that Li Xingyun, who calls my senior brother peerless every day and is far more blindly confident in Yun Qing than she is, is so eager that it's hard not to be affected by it.
However, she did not open the second letter, but tapped her fingers rhythmically on the desk and listened.
The soft sound of "dong dong dong" was waiting for Liu Yu's arrival. This is Jiang Yunqing's habit. After being together for a long time, the empress herself didn't know when she learned it.
However, unlike Jiang Yunqing when she was thinking, the empress only acted like this when her thoughts were confused. She still remembers that when the love began to grow in her heart, her thoughts would be confused every time she saw Yun Qing, and Yun Qing was so charming when he was deep in thought. Perhaps she learned it at that time.
After a while, Liu Yu was forced to leave and come back.
"I wonder what King Qi has to say!" Liu Yu bowed to the empress and asked.
"Send this letter to the bad guy Tianlixing Jiang Yunqing. He has gone north to the West Tower!" The empress threw the unopened letter directly to Liu Yu.
With a "whistle" sound, the letter flew straight towards Liu Yu with weak energy.
"Yes!" Liu Yu reached out to take it, bowed slightly to the empress, then turned and left. Since the Empress arrived in Yunzhou and started the layout of Yunzhou, the bad people in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun and even beyond the borders to the north have been unified under the jurisdiction of the Empress.
Even Li Xingyun cannot directly give orders to this group of bad people. Even if something happens, it must be handled by the empress.
These were the rules Jiang Yunqing had set with Yuan Tiangang when he first launched this level of layout. Even Yuan Tiangang had to abide by the rules he had set.
The layout of Yunzhou is directly related to the existence of the sixteen states of Yanyun and even the situation in the northern border in the future, and there is no room for sloppiness.
This is also the reason why Jiang Yunqing asked the Empress to take the risk. There is really no other suitable candidate except the Empress.
No matter in terms of ability or trust from all parties, the empress is the best candidate. If Li Maozhen were to replace the Empress, he would be capable enough, but can Yuan Tiangang trust him?
After all, Li Maozhen was on Yuan Tiangang's must-kill list. Among those princes who relied on the Yellow Turban Rebellion, every one of them was a rebel and traitor. Even if Yuan Tiangang believed that Jiang Yunqing would usurp Li Xingyun's throne in the future, he would not I will trust these rebellious officials and traitors.
For Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangang is extremely satisfied with the choice of empress. She is strong enough to control the situation in Yunzhou, she is also a female figure, and she has a relationship with Jiang Yunqing.
Anyone else might not be able to carry out Jiang Yunqing's plan without any doubt. The empress doesn't care about these adventures and hard work. She has long been accustomed to the intrigues in the court and the bloodshed on the battlefield. In the past few years, she has dived into the gentle land, and occasionally she misses those things.
She likes to think wildly when she is bored. When Jiang Yunqing is not around, she often feels as if she is awakening from a big dream. Jiang Yunqing is just an illusion that the dream is extinguished. Instead, she is once again involved in this intrigue, and her thoughts are particularly clear.
"Empress, don't worry. Your husband's strategy is unparalleled. He can't be deceived by any conspiracy or trick. His martial arts skills are also unpredictable. There are very few people in the world who can threaten you. He also has superb medical skills, so he can't be defeated even by his dirty tricks. "Guang Mu Tian was thoughtful and noticed the empress' worries, so he comforted her.
The empress has always been decisive and ruthless. Although she has changed after meeting Mr. Jiang, she has not changed much. She only becomes sentimental when dealing with Mr. Jiang's affairs.
This is not so much a change as it is that the tenderness buried deep in the heart of the empress has someone to pour out.
These maids had been accompanying the empress for many years, and their feelings towards the empress were extremely complicated. They were both respectful, fearful, and a little distressed.
It is unimaginable for them to imagine how much pressure a woman is holding up the whole Qi Kingdom.
Fortunately, Mr. Jiang appeared...
"Pfft~ What? He has such a high opinion in your hearts?" Hearing Guangmutian's complimentary comfort, the empress chuckled, but the worries in her heart were much lessened.
She wasn't really worried, it was just that in her random thoughts, she would always think of some scary things.
"Sir, you are indeed very good. He is the only man in the world who is worthy of the empress!" He is just too handsome, and it is easy to attract bees and butterflies!
The figure in green clothes appeared in his mind, and Guangmu Tian couldn't help but add in his heart.
"It's not such an exaggeration. I'm just a woman." The empress shook her head gently, and suddenly changed her voice: "But, he is indeed very good!" That smile was like a beautiful peony blooming, and there was no trace of it. Instead of the majesty of King Qi, all that is left is the empress's grace and splendor, and the beauty of the country!
