268: C268 Jialing Pass on Tianheng Mountain

C268 Jialing Pass on Tianheng Mountain

The Queen is watching His Majesty from the side, and she has made a major discovery today.

His Majesty's face was actually able to make such an expression!

"Your Majesty, you had a good chat with Saint Xiao before, why are you talking about war again? The Qin Country is now most afraid of war."

His Majesty suddenly raised his eyebrows and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked like he could hold up the sky and support the earth. Then he imitated Xiao Yun's previous look, questioning and analyzing.

He directly told the Empress about this deafening statement.

When the Empress heard this, she opened her mouth without any image, her face full of disbelief.

His Majesty then said, "The Empress is meticulous and has a pure view of her. Can you help me analyze this?"

The Empress was silent for a while before nodding: "This plan is very good, even if it was just a bluff at the northern border, it would still have a good effect. If there are more generals guarding, there will be envoys who will agree to take advantage of the internal strife in the North Wei. We can even eat a piece of meat from the territory of the North Wei without any bloodshed! To the north of the North Pass, the first one they encountered was the Tianheng Mountain, and the Jialing Mountain Pass on the Tianheng Mountain. If they obtained this pass, they could at least ensure that the North Wei would not be able to cross the border for at least 50 years. The stalemate in the north for so many years could be resolved... It's really the hundred-year-old plan of our Qin Country!"

His Majesty was also excited after hearing this.

To be honest, he had never thought of this before.

"However, according to what Xiao Yun said, I'm afraid we will have a real battle. I wonder how the North Wei provoked him. Even if they put in all their effort, they still want to fight a battle like this with the North Wei."

The Empress smiled and said, "Isn't this also a good thing?"

"That's right... Speaking of which, Zhen has not used military weapons for too many years. I heard that the army has been too lazy these few years. Prime Minister Lee had secretly submitted a memorial the last time. He said that the border of the world's military was strong while the center was weak. If the border had any intentions of rebelling, a hundred thousand soldiers could easily defeat a million inland soldiers. We really have to be on guard... "

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh.

His Majesty said this himself, but did not want to say anything more on this topic, so he changed the topic, "What do the Empress think about Xiao Yun?"

The Empress's eyes immediately darkened and she said, "Prime Minister Lee's judgment of people is indeed accurate. Xiao Yun's abilities are too great. She did not know how many things were stored in his brain, and his natural disposition was free and unrestrained. It can be said that good and evil are indefinite, and loyalty is indisputable. No one is willing to not use him. However, no one can not guard against him either. "

His Majesty heaved a long sigh and said, "That's right. Sometimes, I also feel that this kid is very dangerous. Sometimes, I even feel that he is not a person of this world."

"Why do you think so?"

... "Just like... Immortals descending to the mortal world? Or ghosts and gods or whatnot."

"Yes, from what he usually does, even if he has the help of a ghost or spirit, he can still be trusted."

"Right?"

His Majesty smiled bitterly.

Then, he drank his tea and thought carefully.

Sending troops to the North Wei, this matter was very complicated.

Whether or not he wanted to do it, no matter how he did it, it would be troublesome.

But this was indeed a once in a lifetime opportunity.

In his heart, His Majesty had already confirmed this matter.

The next thing to do was to know exactly how to operate it.

For example, which general should he send to guard the north!

As long as he arrived, the North Wei would understand that the Qin Country was going to send troops to him. This way, the enemy's court would continue to be in chaos.

This required a certain degree of deterrence and reputation.

Furthermore, a truly outstanding general would not only be able to train his troops, he would also be able to organize the various things in front of him. He must be a person who could take charge of his own matters.

Including all of them, there were fewer people who could be chosen.

Then who should they choose?

General Leng could be considered the first candidate.

The Leng family was loyal and had a great reputation in the North Wei. Previously, Leng Xiaohan's leg was injured, so he was going to lie on the bed and wait for his death. But now, it was different. His leg had recovered, and his body condition was also in good condition. Although he was so old, if he went to the north again... He might die there...

But the generals that could be used in the Imperial Court were all old generals.

The Qin Country had not been warred for many years, and the military was in an era of decline. The new generals had not experienced the baptism of war and only knew how to talk on paper. How could such people be sent there?

But...

They were too old.

There really weren't many people who could be of great use.

There was one in the Shangguan family, but it was no longer the Shangguan family of the past. Human nature was weak, and they no longer had the courage to defend the city. It was fine to let them defend the city, but if they wanted to attack the city... it would be difficult.

Just as he was thinking about it.

His Majesty was stunned for a moment.

Because he finally thought of a name.

Xiao Huai'en!

Although this guy was very old, his health was good. Even if he died in the north, he would atone for his crimes...

The more His Majesty thought about it, the more he felt that Xiao Huai'en was the most suitable candidate!

Furthermore, he can use the matter of the northern expedition to block the mouth of the people in the Imperial Court.

It was simply perfect!

His Majesty did not want to kill Xiao Huai'en to begin with. It was just a meal. After giving him all his power, His Majesty already felt a little guilty. Xiao Yun had been working for him during this period of time, but there was a possibility that he would be killed by Zhao Wuji. In fact, this could be considered that His Majesty did not protect him well.

Under the double blame, he didn't really care about the matter of Xiao Huai'en breaking into the palace.

But if they did not kill him, what would the hundreds of civil and military officials think? What would the people in the world think?

Oh, anyone could carry a huge saber and charge into the Martial Hall, start a massacre, and then still be alive, as if nothing had happened?

Then the cost of the rebellion would be lowered too low.

It would be a threat to the royal authority.

But if he was sent to the north, he would be able to atone for his crimes...

His Majesty was just thinking of something to be happy about when he was suddenly stunned.

He finally understood why Xiao Yun was in such a hurry to urge him to send troops to the North Wei!

Didn't he still want to save Xiao Huai'en?

He had already arranged all of this!

This made His Majesty especially uncomfortable.

The feeling of being controlled and being led by the nose was really fatal.

When His Majesty became angry, his majesty was naturally revealed. It caused the surrounding people to feel the atmosphere for a moment, and they did not dare to speak.

Even the Empress could only silently sigh, not knowing what His Majesty suddenly thought of.

However, the urgent matter at hand, His Majesty decided to ask for the opinions of the civil and military officials.

After all, it was a war, not something that could be done with just a decree.

...

At the same time, at the side of the palace, there was a small side door with a crescent moon.

One. A beautiful woman stuck her head out and carefully observed the movements of the gazebo.

After a while, she heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and walked through a few corridors until she arrived at an exquisite attic. Then, she saw another woman walking towards her.

"Alright, alright. Is there a need to be so anxious? Didn't I tell you to wait upstairs? I just don't want to worry. "

This woman was Eldest Imperial Princess of Qin Country, a famous Bodhisattva among the people.

The person who welcomed her was Leng Yueling!

She asked nervously, "How is it? His Majesty is not angry, right?"

Eldest Imperial Princess waved her hand, "Angry? It might have happened, or it might not have happened, but it does not matter."

"How can it not matter? This time it's serious business. Eldest Imperial Princess, please don't joke around."

Leng Yueling was extremely anxious.

However, Eldest Imperial Princess seemed to like seeing her anxious and angry appearance. She even circled around her twice. She smiled sweetly until she realized that she was so anxious that she jumped up and down. She then said, "You might not believe it even if you say it out loud. This palace has asked those palace maids before. So when Xiao Yun entered the palace this time, he did not mention anything about pleading for his family's old man. Instead, he looked for Imperial Father to talk about other matters."

"Ah? This..."

Leng Yueling was stunned. For a moment, she did not know what kind of mood she was feeling.

On the one hand, she felt fortunate. If it was according to Xiao Yun's wild and violent character, not only would he not be able to save people, but he would also incur the wrath of the Emperor, and even he would be punished.

Now that he did not plead for mercy, everything was fine.

On the other hand, Xiao Yun's heartless manner made Leng Yueling somewhat suspicious.

Although the two of them did not interact much, Leng Yueling knew that Xiao Yun was actually cold on the outside but hot on the inside. The adjectives of being heartless and heartless did not have anything to do with him.

"Alright, don't worry about it here. I also don't know why you care so much about Xiao Yun that brat."

Eldest Imperial Princess pretended to be unhappy.

Leng Yueling smiled bitterly and blushed again. She did not know what expression she had and could only roll her eyes at Eldest Imperial Princess.

...

On the other hand, Xiao Yun had just walked to the door when a carriage was already waiting there.

A middle-aged man immediately got off the carriage when he saw Xiao Yun. He cupped his hands at Xiao Yun and smiled. "Young Master Xiao, can we get on the carriage and have a gathering?"1

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Ambush? Assassin?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Everyone knows Young Master Xiao's ability. Naturally, he would not do such a strenuous and unrewarding thing. Furthermore, in my opinion, my life is also precious."
