Chapter 1286 Unfavorable
In the shallow water sweet porcelain wide-mouthed fish tank, the red koi flicked its tail suddenly, and the water in the fish tank splashed Queen Mother Yan's hand, which made Queen Yan regain her senses.
"This animal..." The servant girl next to the Empress Dowager Yan hurriedly stepped forward to take the fish food from the hands of the Empress Dowager Yan, took out a handkerchief to wipe the back of the Empress Dowager Yan's hands, and ordered people to prepare clothes immediately, and wait for the Empress Dowager to change her clothes again.
The Empress Dowager Yan was absent-minded, she took her hand from the handmaiden and asked, "The Ninth Prince... has already arrived outside the palace, I heard that Ali personally took the courtiers out to meet him, why didn't anyone come to tell Ai's family?" One sound, is the Ninth Prince here?"
"Now that the Great Zhou army is under pressure, the Ninth Prince must discuss the countermeasures with His Majesty when he comes back. After discussing the business matters, His Majesty and the Ninth Prince must come to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is relieved." The maid comforted the Queen Mother Yan.
The Empress Dowager Yan lowered her eyes and saw that there was no one else in the hall, so she whispered thoughtfully: "I'm afraid... A Yan will blame me, and don't let anyone tell me."
The servant girl looked around nervously, and while wiping the Queen Mother Yan's sleeves, she said: "The queen mother must not think wildly, even if the Ninth Prince is angry, the second prince has always been filial to you. The person who came to greet you, the two princes didn’t come, they must be discussing with His Majesty how to deal with the matter of the Great Zhou!”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yan nodded, comforted herself, patted the hand of her maidservant with a smile and said: "Thanks to having you by my side to guide me all these years!"
"What's the matter with the Queen Mother? The slaves are just bystanders. How can they talk about talking to the master!" The maidservant of the Queen Mother Yan smiled and said.
Empress Dowager Yan smiled and helped the handmaiden into the apse to change clothes.
The Empress Dowager Yan had just changed her clothes when she heard a report from the eunuch outside, saying that Uncle Guo had quietly sent a letter, asking the Empress Dowager to go to the front hall.
"Didn't you say what's the matter?" Queen Mother Yan asked.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the slave doesn't know..." the eunuch who came to report the letter said in a low voice, "Uncle Guo only asked the slave to come quickly and invite the Empress Dowager to the front hall, and didn't say anything else."
"Queen Mother, are you going?" the maid asked Queen Mother Yan.
After thinking about it, she said, "Go and have a look!"
Empress Dowager Yan's personal servant girl responded, knelt down to tidy up her clothes for Empress Dowager Yan, got up and walked out with Empress Dowager Yan's hand, and said loudly: "Pass the sedan chair!"
Soon, the Empress Dowager Yan arrived at the front hall in a sedan chair, and before she entered, she heard the noise coming from the hall. She paused and hid outside the hall to listen quietly.
"Facing the Empress Dowager of our country?! Heh... just you two prisoners, what qualifications do you have to meet our Empress Dowager Yan? Idiots!"
"You said that you came to Yan State to make a deal with our Queen Mother Yan for Cui Shanzhong, even if the evidence is solid? Who knows if you were destroyed in Xiliang, and then you deliberately provoked the relationship between our two allies, Yan State and Dazhou, I said that on purpose!"
"That's right! Otherwise, maybe Da Zhou relied on his own army to attack our country of Yan, and deliberately made such an excuse. You were bought by Da Zhou at all, maybe...you are not Xiliang at all. The cronies around Cui Shanzhong are people from Da Zhou, so it is reasonable for our queen mother to see people sent by her allies, maybe this is your Da Zhou setting up a trap!"
The ministers of the State of Yan said something to each other, and the words became more and more angry.
"So?" Xiao Rongyan said slowly, "Even if this matter was set up by Da Zhou, the main force of Yan State is now trapped in Xiliang, and the Great Zhou army Chen Bing on the border of Yan State, Yan State gave Da Zhou such an explanation, saying This matter was set up by Da Zhou himself...can you retreat from Da Zhou's army?"
When Xiao Rongyan said this, he was still emotional just now... The ministers who framed Da Zhou himself immediately looked nervously at the old uncle Zhong Xingxiao, and hurriedly retreated into the ranks of courtiers.
"At that time, there was General Chu in the military camp who admitted to betraying Da Zhou, and later Da Zhou captured the cronies of the old general Cui Shanzhong, and learned that it was his mother who betrayed Da Zhou's army!" Murong Ping stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed Wrinkle, "So even if it's just reasoning regardless of the strength of the troops, this matter... no matter where it is said, it is our country of Yan who is wrong! People Da Zhou gave us more profit from the war, but we stabbed us in the back. People in the world are not ashamed, and it also gave Da Zhou a reason to send troops to us justifiably."
"This matter...it is indeed that our country of Yan betrayed Da Zhou. I have already found out, so there is no need to discuss it again." Murong Li said slowly, "But it is meaningless to find out who is right and who is wrong in this matter. One time, our country of Yan sent the reason for sending troops to Da Zhou, and the reason was wrong first!"
He raised his head and glanced over the ministers above the hall.
"Your Majesty, do you admit that our country of Yan betrayed Da Zhou?" A courtier who followed the Ninth Prince pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes and looked at Murong Li. If the words are true, did the Empress Dowager secretly order General Chu to betray the Great Zhou allies? So that the fifth son of the Bai family, the younger brother of the Great Zhou Emperor, was captured alive?"
The courtiers who followed the regent Murong Yan were all eager to pull that ignorant back house woman of the Queen Mother of Yan from the position of assistant government. It's already enough of a headache, but I don't even know what it means to wipe the Queen Mother's ass all day long.
Murong Li pursed his lips and remained silent, after a while he raised his hand to signal the guards to take the two cronies of Cui Shanzhong down.
When there were no outsiders above Yan Ting, Murong Li said slowly: "I know that when the five sons of the Bai family were captured alive, the emperor of the Great Zhou was furious, and Chen Bing was at the border of the Yan Kingdom. If it is true that the fifth son and seventh girl of the Bai family died this time, how should we deal with it, and what will happen to the future of the Yan Kingdom..."
Xiao Rongyan sat on the chair next to the emperor's throne, leaning lazily on the armrest of the chair, knowing that Murong Li was going to talk about the merger of the two countries, so he listened quietly.
"After thinking about it, I calculated the military strength of our country of Yan, and calculated it together with the Minister of the Household Department. The grain that our country of Yan can still mobilize now." Murong Li looked at the Minister of the Household Department.
Hubu Shangshu hurriedly bowed and said that was exactly the case.
"The main force led by General Xie can't come back, and the country of Yan doesn't have enough food, grass and troops. Once the Zhou army marches westward..." Murong Li said in a heavy voice, "My country of Yan... has no chance of winning!"
The ministers in the court were silent, even the uncle Zhong Xingxiao was silent, he knew that what Murong Li said was true, and the current situation was very unfavorable for Yan.
The second more...
