Return of the Swallow

Wang Zhi's words were straightforward, and everyone understood.

If one day it is necessary to use the defenders around the capital to protect the capital, wouldn't the Tatar's iron hoof be trampled on to the capital?

Utkin Khan is the god of war with the same fame as Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu. If there were no commanders of Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu in Beijing and Ji Zeyu, they might not be the opponents of the Tatars at all.

Prince Li lowered his head, not daring to let people see the emotion in his eyes.

The empress dowager was slightly dissatisfied, only feeling that Qingyanghou's words were decent from the Queen Mother Zhou's family, and were not worthy of her promotion these days.

Qingyang Hou was shocked to say nothing, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with his head upright: "I only said this for the safety of the queen mother and the people in the city. As for myself, of course I am willing to go into battle. Fighting on the battlefield, killing the enemy and decisive victory can be fun."

After hearing the words, the queen mother finally calmed down, smiled and nodded, “It’s good for you to have this kind of determination. In that case, you will leave the matter of Zeng Bing Tian’s gate to you to discuss with Lord Wang.”

Wang Zhi bowed his hand and said loudly: "The minister abides by the Queen Mother's decree!"

Qingyanghou was playing drums in his heart, and even those who were unwilling to show weakness on the face also bowed: "According to the edict."

The queen mother nodded, the northern matter was resolved, and she felt relaxed a little, and smiled on her face.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a better mood, Qingyang Hou smiled and calmed down, "Don’t worry about the Queen Mother. The Dragon Xiang Army must retreat to Tianmen Pass. It must be a stopgap measure, but it’s because the Tatars came too suddenly, so it’s just like this for a while. The Dragon Xiangjun led by Ji Yuma has been fighting for many years. It is the tiger and wolf's division who has experienced hundreds of battles. I believe that as long as it regroups, the Dragon Xiangjun will surely expel Tatar from our territory."

The queen mother couldn't help smiling and nodding frequently. Although her son-in-law had an unpleasant temperament, she also didn't know how to feel distressed, so she often went to the palace to cry with Anyang.But his ability to lead soldiers really cannot be ignored. I believe that the Dragon Xiangjun he brought out is not an incompetent person, and it is unreasonable to let the Tatars break into the gate of heaven.

The Queen Mother's heart is more stable.

After all, the Great Zhou was only five years after the founding of the dynasty, and the soldiers who defeated the world were still enthusiastic. If they were released, they would definitely bite the enemy like hungry wolves. The queen mother still had confidence in this aspect.

Wang Zhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, looked at Qingyanghou obliquely, and the contempt in his heart could hardly be restrained.

It seems that he still underestimated Qingyanghou. Who said he would only spend time and drink?This slicker is not bad at all.Thinking of the saint who still didn't know the life and death, Wang Zhi couldn't bear the worries on his brows.

Even if there is no turmoil in the DPRK and the Saint comes up to preside over the overall situation, such a crisis cannot be easily resolved.What's more, the Queen Mother is a female stream with no political mind and a cowardly and incompetent county king?

These people are really crazy about seeking power.

Wang Zhi was not interested in flattering the queen mother here, so he saluted and retired.

Before leaving the hall, I didn't forget to call Qingyanghou: "Why don't you go with you, Master Hou?"

The queen mother smiled and said, "The Ai family has something to tell Qingyanghou."

Wang Zhi should be, bowed down after saluting.Upon seeing this, King Li also saluted and resigned.

The queen mother nodded dignifiedly, and only after the outsiders had left, did she call Qingyanghou with a serious face.

"Da Yong. Now the Ai family will give you all the rights they can give you. You have to work hard to fight for the Ai family, and also for the Zhou family. Although we have a good life on weekdays, others say It was the emperor's filial piety that made our Zhou family today. Although the Ai family also knows the emperor's filial piety, but who is our Zhou family worse than?"

Hearing that the queen mother called herself in fine print, Qingyanghou also called out intimately: "Sister."

Sitting on the side of the queen mother, he vowed: "The saint is indeed not bad to our family, and filial enough to my sister. But I am not a display in the army, and I am not really incapable of acting on the face of the saint. Don't worry about my sister this time. I will surely stabilize our country. I won't let people say that my sister made me become the head coach of the Huben Army because of favoritism."

The queen mother nodded with satisfaction after hearing the words: "The Aijia is exactly what I mean. You are the younger brother of the Aijia, and every move represents the Aijia. You must work hard to make the Aijia's face shine."

"Sister, don't worry." Qingyang Hou laughed loudly: "That Pang Zhixi is nothing more than an outsider. What can a brat do? Your brother never had a chance before. Now you gave me such a good one. Of course I will seize the opportunity."

The queen mother nodded very satisfied.

However, at this moment, a middle official outside the hall suddenly replied: "Queen dowager! Lord of the Ministry of War, please see me!"

"Didn't you just leave? What's the matter?" The queen mother's heart jumped, her face paled in shock.

Wang Zhi came in, but Wang Zhi's expression was worse than before.

"According to the empress dowager, the three provinces of Yongning Prefecture, Hengzhou Prefecture, and Jianyang Prefecture in the south declared their independence, echoing Nanyan, the emperor of Nanyan, Wei Chi Xujie, and supporting the former emperor of Yan Dynasty, Wei Chiyan, to return to the throne!"

Speaking of this, Wang Zhi's face was already pale, and she tremblingly said, "Queen dowager, the south is also in chaos! Those ministers who fled from the Yan Dynasty must have premeditated, and now they took their family members to defect to their original emperor. !"

The queen mother's mind was humming, she could no longer maintain Fang's composure.

The matter in the north has not been resolved, and the south is in chaos. Is it possible that Tatar and Yan Chao had an appointment?

The queen mother turned to Wang Zhi for help, and then to her trusted brother, and said anxiously: "How can this be good?"

Qingyanghou's face was even worse than that of the Queen Mother.

He had a headache when he thought of going to fight with Tatar, but he didn't expect that the Yan Dynasty was regaining the country.If it is a two-phase attack, what should he do?

"The queen mother is at ease. The southern power is not a climate. Yuchiyan was originally a spoiled species. Even if the Sanfu near Nanyan echoes it, Nanyan is not to be afraid of such a small place."

Qingyang Hou Lang said: "I feel that Nan Yan's greatest danger is not in the military disaster but in the hearts of the people."

"Human heart?" The queen mother calmed down.

Qingyanghou said: "Queen dowager, those survivors who fled from the Yan Dynasty must have returned to Yuchiyan again. Many of them have not left, are they? These people are in the capital, and if they are not in order, they have to check out our military information. "

It was the queen mother who heard the words and immediately slapped her thigh, "Isn't it! Go, check the remnants of Yanchao's remnants, and all will be arrested by Ai's family and tortured! Be sure to find out what the Yanchao people are doing! "

"Yes!" Qingyanghou took his orders.

Wang Zhi glanced at Qingyanghou, which made him even more contemptuous.

Whether it is Pang Xiao or Ji Zeyu, he is convinced to be the head coach of the Hu Ben Army, but Wang Zhi is the most uncomfortable mediocrity like Qingyanghou who can only shoot horses and cannot be used at critical moments, but the queen mother takes power. His intentions are so obvious that his status really cannot change the above decision.

Wang Zhi now only hopes that the Lord will be saved soon.

If the sage cannot be saved, and the court cannot find a capable minister who can provoke the main beam to turn the tide, I am afraid the Great Zhou is in danger!

Two things of this magnitude in the imperial court cannot be kept secret after all.The Northern Longxiang Army Company lost three passes and retreated to Tianmen Pass to wait for reinforcements.The Southern Yan Dynasty revived, and the Sanfu and Nanyan echoed the support of Wei Chiyan's re-entry.Once the south side started, Da Zhou really hit both sides.

When Qin Yining and her father heard the news, they were silent for a while.

The Yan Dynasty surrender disappeared overnight, and it must have been negotiated long ago.

But as the head of the Yan Dynasty's surrenders, they didn't even show any words to Qin Huaiyuan in advance.

He didn't know that Yu Chiyan escaped.

He didn't know when the ministers returned home.

Being marginalized in this way and being concealed made Qin Huaiyuan feel confused for a while.

Qin Yining comforted Qin Huaiyuan: "Father, it's good not to tell you these things. If they really find you, but they still have to face a choice, wouldn't it be a dilemma then? It is still good. You are no longer an official. Now, our family only wants to live together freely, and nothing else. It doesn’t matter if we can be found, don’t you think."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded: "What you said is. What I am thinking about now is that Zhixi Neng will go home safely and that you can give birth to Lin'er safely. I can no longer care about the chaos in the court. I will be my father in the future. I’m old, and maybe I want to go back to my hometown. Maybe I will live in my hometown. After all, our former villagers are all in the south. I don’t care about the rest."

When Qin Yining saw Qin Huaiyuan's sincere words, it was not just perfunctory to comfort her, so she let go.

"Wang Concubine." Xian Yun's slightly impatient voice came from the door, "A group of people came from outside the mansion. The leader is a middle official who said that he wants to invite the old man out. I have something to ask."

Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan looked at each other, thinking about them in their hearts.

Qin Yining said: "Can you hear them say where the palace mates came from? Is it from the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart or from the Palace of Ci'an?"

"The slave servant doesn't know. But the middle officer also brought Jin Wuwei from the palace. It seems that the one who came is not good."

Qin Huai said: "It must be because of Nan Yan. Not all the survivors who came to the Yan Dynasty at the beginning have left. Those people are probably also arrested."

Qin Yining stood up and slapped the table.

"They have a good idea. Want to arrest people in my palace? It depends on whether they have this ability."

Qin Yining was furious, and said: "Gather all the fine tigers and guards. Go out with me and have a look. I want to see what they plan to ask my father!"

Xianyun should be, and quickly went down to give orders.Jiyun and Bingtang put on outdoor shoes for Qin Yining, worrying that she would catch the cold after the rain, and then took a lotus lotus color ruyi pattern and covered her shoulders with clouds.

Qin Huaiyuan stood up helplessly and ordered someone to support him, "Go with you for the father. Don't be too temperamental and be bad for your body. Then tell them for the father."

Qin Yining knew that these people must have been arranged by the Queen Mother's elm brain.The emperor was lost. They didn't want to stabilize the government and deal with the north and the south, but first arrested people in the capital, fearing that the Great Zhou would not be chaotic enough.
