Chapter 2302 Send Troops
Qi State.
Zhao Rao was reading the memorial. Suddenly, the sound of a child crying came from behind. She hurriedly put down the memorial in her hand, picked up her skirt and walked back.
"Your Majesty, the little prince is awake." As he walked to the back, he saw the nun from the palace walking out with the child in her arms.
"You must be hungry!" Zhao Rao looked at his son with gentle eyes. The child was already six months old. It was time to recognize someone. If he didn't see her when he woke up, he would definitely cry.
Mammy smiled and said, "I'm already breastfeeding. I just want to see His Majesty before I cry."
Zhao Rao took the child from grandma's hand and gently tapped the tip of his nose, "Little guy, he really doesn't stop for a moment."
"I think the little prince is too smart." Children who cry are fed by milk. At such a young age, they know that they can see their mother just by crying.
The little prince looked exactly like Cheng Zheng, with dark and bright eyes. He was sucking his fingers and tilting his head, looking at Zhao Rao with a smile, but he still looked like he was crying in grievance just now.
Zhao Rao was so heartbroken when his son saw him.
She carried her son outside and read the memorial while holding him. The little prince was well-behaved and just leaned quietly in Zhao Rao's arms without making any noise.
"Your Majesty, the second princess is here." The palace servant came in and said in a low voice.
"Let the second princess come in quickly." Zhao Rao raised his head with a slight smile in his eyes.
Zhao Xiang walked into the main hall and saw Zhao Rao holding the little prince in one hand and reading the memorial in the other. She chuckled softly and saluted and said, "Brother Quan will stick to you again."
"It's good that you're here. Apart from me, he likes you the most." Zhao Rao said with a smile and gave Zhao Xiang his son to hold.
When the little prince saw Zhao Xiang, he didn't reject him at all. He leaned softly in Zhao Xiang's arms.
Zhao Rao said, "There have been more and more memorials in the past few days, and I can't even see them."
Since the natural disaster occurred, more and more problems have arisen in various parts of Qi. Sometimes Zhao Rao can't help but wonder, is this a punishment from God? However, except for Qi, several other countries also encountered the same situation. She could not be defeated like this. This Qi was saved by Cheng Zheng for her. For Cheng Zheng and her son, she could not fall.
As long as she doesn't fall, no one can push her down.
"Now that all places have slowly recovered from the natural disaster, it's time for you to have a good rest." Zhao Xiang said, sitting down with the little prince in his arms, and familiarly picked up the rattle on the table to tease him.
"I haven't had time to rest yet." Zhao Rao said without raising his head. "The natural disaster came out of nowhere. I can't feel at ease. I always feel that this is a warning."
"Even if it is a warning, it is not necessarily related to our Qi Kingdom. The natural disasters in Jin Kingdom and Beiming Kingdom are not small." Zhao Xiang said, "You have sent troops in time to save the people. Your Majesty, you have done enough. "
Zhao Rao shook his head and smiled, shaking the already reviewed memorial in his hand, "There are still many places suffering from drought."
"Your Majesty, even when the late Emperor was here, there were drought disasters." Zhao Xiang said, unable to bear to see Zhao Rao always blaming himself.
"Is there any news from Beiming Kingdom?" Zhao Rao saw another memorial, which was related to Beiming Kingdom. "Jin Kingdom has put Beitang Yu back."
Mentioning the Kingdom of Jin, Zhao Rao's eyes flashed with hatred.
Zhao Xiang said, "Beitang Yu has gone back, and the Yuan Kingdom seems to have also sent troops to Qingyuan."
"It seems that Shui Yichen also wants a piece of the pie." Zhao Rao stood up with a sneer and said to the palace people, "Go and invite General Song into the palace."
As long as Jin Guo or Lu Yaoyao are involved, Zhao Rao becomes another person, full of hatred and anger. Her hatred for Lu Yaoyao has not been eliminated.
After Cheng Zheng died, Zhao Rao only wanted to kill Lu Yaoyao, and was defeated by Jin State. If she had not almost lost her child, she would not have been able to raise her child calmly. What makes Zhao Xiang happy is that since giving birth to Little prince, Zhao Rao's heart seemed to have calmed down a lot, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. She thought she had put down her hatred.
But when it comes to Jin Guo, she still goes back to the hatred-filled Zhao Rong.
Song Hongao came soon.
As soon as Zhao Rao saw him, he asked, "What is the situation in Beiming Kingdom now?"
"Beiming Kingdom?" Song Hongao was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Zhao Rao suddenly became concerned about Beiming Kingdom. Ever since he signed a no-war agreement with Jin State, Qi State had almost no diplomatic relations. All Zhao Rao's thoughts were on the little prince. , "... Beitang Xuanwei is missing, and Beitang Yu has just returned to Dingdu City. If the news is correct, Shui Yichen is also there now."
"Where are Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao?" Zhao Rao asked. She didn't care about others, she just wanted to know the whereabouts of Lu Yaoyao.
Throughout her life, she must find an opportunity to kill Lu Yaoyao.
Song Hongao could have avoided what Lu Yaoyao didn't want to say, "I heard that they are also in the capital city, but I don't know why they are doing it."
"What can they do? It's just for the Beiming Kingdom. General Song, you once said that Beitang Yu's two sons are not great, and the Beiming Kingdom is destined to perish." Zhao Rao said in a low voice. , "In that case, why don't we send troops to Beiming Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty?" Song Hongao looked at Zhao Rao in surprise.
Zhao Rao said, "Shui Yichen has also sent troops to Beiming Kingdom. Jin Kingdom and Yuan Kingdom will definitely carve up Beiming Kingdom by then. I can't watch them become powerful."
Qi State was once the most powerful country in the world. Even if she was not as good as her father, she could not let Qi State become the weakest country. She would only be bullied by others.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to send troops?" Song Hongao asked in a low voice. They had fought with Jin State before and the treasury had been consumed a lot. There have been natural disasters in the past year or so. They should actually continue to recharge their batteries.
"Yes." Zhao Rao nodded firmly. She had signed a no-war agreement with the Jin Kingdom, but she did not say that she could not send troops to attack the Beiming Kingdom. "You lead troops to Chanzhou. If the Yuan Kingdom does not move, neither will we."
Everything depends on what will happen in Dingdu City in the end.
Song Hongao thought about it in silence, knowing that Zhao Rao's decision was not a spur of the moment, she must have thought about it for a long time.
If the Beiming Kingdom is really destroyed, the Jin Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom will definitely divide the land. If the Qi Kingdom does nothing, then...maybe it will become the second Beiming Kingdom.
"I am willing to lead troops to Chanzhou." Song Hongao said, this is for the sake of Qi.
Zhao Rao smiled faintly and turned to look at her son. She must take revenge, but she will not be as impulsive as before. She is not qualified to risk everything because she still has to protect her son. He is the most important person in the world to her. .
"Shui Yichen is leading his troops in Qingyuan, Ye Chunnan is in the wasteland, and we are in Chanzhou. We have now surrounded the Beiming Kingdom. If there is really a fight, we will find a way to join forces with the Yuan Kingdom." Zhao Rao turned around and faced Song Hongao said, "Shui Yichen will join forces with us."
