Chapter 981 After Xiao Wenyu sent a fire, he told Qi Lei not to leak this matter, he had his own arrangements.Qi Lei stopped talking and slowly withdrew.In the room, Xiao Wenyu called Zhou Youjin to come in and give an order: "Send two people to keep an eye on the movements of the people around the queen and the second princess." ”Zhou Youjin was stunned for a moment, and withdrew in response, without the slightest hesitation, and did not ask much, although he grew up with His Majesty since he was a child, he must remember his identity, Lord Xie and Mrs.
Zhou Guo raised His Majesty, and they still remember their identity, not to mention him.If Zhou Youjin was a little drifting before, since Lord Xie and Mrs.
Zhou Guo left, he has realized one thing, he can't be reasonable with the emperor, of course, he can talk about it when he doesn't violate the emperor's rights and interests, if he really offends, there is no friendship to talk about.As a close confidant of His Majesty, he must do what he should do and be loyal to his duties.Although Xiao Wenyu was suspicious of the queen, he didn't immediately bring someone to question her, he knew that with the queen's temperament, even if he brought someone to ask her, she wouldn't admit it, so he had to arrest her for an appearance.I hope she won't do it to the second princess again, if she does it to the second princess again, he will never spare her.In the following days, Xiao Wenyu would visit the second princess every other day.The queen's eyebrows and eyes are as kind as a loving mother who loves her daughter, if it weren't for Xiao Wenyu listening to Qi Lei's words, she really couldn't believe that this woman was so good at disguise now.In the past, she was actually relatively straightforward, quick to talk, when and where did she become such a person.Xiao Wenyu thought of Pei Yu and Wang Mengyao, and her mood was a little heavy, is this palace a big dye vat, no matter which woman sits on the throne of the queen, she will eventually become bad and scheming.Because the queen didn't do anything to the second princess again, the nurse and others waiting beside her waited carefully, and Qi Lei opened the soup recipe again, and the second princess's body gradually improved.After the second princess was well, Xiao Wenyu did not enter the harem, because he received an urgent letter from Longhai, Xiliang sent troops to Da Zhou, and Bei Qi launched a rebellion against Da Zhou one after another.Fortunately, Xiao Wenyu sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to Long Customs to support Xie Wenjia, and Long Customs will be fine.But something happened to Yueguguan.Yueguguan general Mu Zhen quietly sent someone to send a secret letter into Beijing, General Wang was too aggressive, fell into the poisonous plan of the Beiqi nomadic tribe, the Great Zhou soldiers killed and wounded many people, enough 20,000 soldiers and horses, this battle was a fiasco.When Xiao Wenyu received the secret letter, his face was extremely ugly, and he immediately announced that several ministers in the court entered the palace to discuss this matter.However, after these important ministers entered the palace, they did not dare to express any opinions for a while.They remember that General Wang, the general of the Moon Valley Pass, is the father of the queen, and the queen has a prince, if they say something that should not be said, let the queen remember it, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and they and their family will be able to end well."
Your Majesty, although General Wang ventured forward and caused a fiasco in this battle, he has made countless contributions in the past, and this fiasco has redeemed the credit.""
Yes, Your Majesty, why don't you let General Wang atone for his sins, kill Beiqi, and avenge the dead soldiers.""
The minister agrees with Lord Wang's advice."
Xiao Wenyu looked coldly at several important ministers in the upper study, he could see that these people were hindering the queen's face, so they didn't dare to confront the Wang family, even if General Wang killed many people by mistake."
Are you trying to leave a way out for yourself?
I'm afraid that the crown prince will take the throne to clean up you and the family behind you, so I will save face for the Wang family, do you still plan to take this to the Wang family to sell it. ”"Huh."
In the upper study, cold sweat broke out on the faces of several courtiers, and Gao Shoufu stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although General Wang has made great contributions to my Great Zhou, the credit cannot be overcome, not to mention that he killed so many people this time, those people may be the pillars of the family, and his mistake has caused many families to be displaced." ”"The minister means to send someone to the northwest to escort General Wang to Beijing for trial, if it is found that the mistake he made this time is a mistake, then remove General Wang's military power, let him recuperate in Beijing in his old age, if it is found that General Wang's mistake is for other reasons, Your Majesty will definitely punish him severely and give an explanation to the dead general."
Gao Shoufu spoke, and someone immediately seconded: "Please Your Majesty find out the reason for General Wang's mistake." ”Xiao Wenyu looked at the people who entered Beijing to be tried, I summoned you to come to discuss the northwest war, because General Wang was defeated in this battle, the morale of the northwest defenders was greatly damaged, but the morale of the twelve nomadic departments was greatly boosted, if this continues, Yuegu Pass is likely to be lost, I announce that you are here to discuss how to solve this matter?
”Xiao Wenyu originally wanted to drive the expedition, but if he drove the expedition, he must boost his morale.But he didn't dare to entrust the affairs of Jingzhong to others easily, at this moment, he was particularly eager for Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, if Xie Yunjin was in Beijing, he could also help him keep an eye on the movements of Chaozhong.Now that they have gone to Xiliang, he doesn't even have a person he trusts wholeheartedly.And all this is caused by the queen.Xiao Wenyu's face was dark and ugly.In the upper study, Gao Shoufu spoke: "Your Majesty can issue an order, the Northwest Army in this battle can be rewarded according to the head of the Beiqi generals, and if you kill one person, you can receive a reward of ten taels of silver, if you can get the senior leader of the Beiqi generals, you will be directly promoted to two levels." ”Gao Shousuke's method is a good method.Xiao Wenyu nodded slightly, and beside Gao Shoufu, Zhao Lingfeng, the head of the household, spoke: "If you kill more than 100 enemies, you can bless your wife and children at home, your wife can be sealed, and your children can go to school for free." ”"If you don't have a wife, the court can give the wife of the hero who killed the enemy."
As soon as Lord Xu's words fell, the people in the study looked at him in unison, and Zhao Lingfeng couldn't help asking, "Where did this wife come from?"
”Lord Xu said sadly: "Those soldiers who died in battle, leaving behind how to live orphans and widows, if Your Majesty decrees that they will be given to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to killing the enemy, firstly, they can have a way to live, and secondly, they will also reward the soldiers." ”Xiao Wenyu raised his eyebrows and thought about it, there was no man in the family, and the orphans and widows really couldn't live, so he agreed: "This method is feasible." ”He paused and said, "Originally, I wanted to go to the army to boost the morale of the soldiers. ”When Xiao Wenyu's words fell, Gao Shoufu and the others were shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, by all means." ”Several people immediately got up and knelt down: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”At present, Xiliang and Beiqi Qi are acting against the Great Zhou, how can Your Majesty go to the northwest to drive the expedition in person, if the prince of Xiliang Shangguan He knows, I am afraid that there will be danger.Xiao Wenyu raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "I know that there is danger, so I decided to order King Lu to go to the northwest instead of me to boost morale." ”King Lu is the youngest brother of the former emperor, and he is a very honest person.Gao Shoufu and others also agreed with this."
It's doable."
