"The Northern Plains army invaded? Are you going to Qingzhou?" Chu Gui's eyes widened after being shocked by two successive news.

Xiao Qi had already taken his seat, nodded and answered "Yes", recalling a series of disputes that happened in the early court, and still felt a little dreamy about the military position he got, and his fingers began to tap on the table in a hurry unconsciously.

Chu Gui put down the Qibu Tang in his hand, and said with concern: "Do you want to be the commander? Xiao Zhi is so relieved to let you lead the army?"

Xiao Qi: "No, it is Jianghuaiwu's former deputy general Chen Cheng who holds the title of commander-in-chief. I am the supervisor of the army and have no actual command power. I only talk about the duties of supervision and supervision, and I am also responsible for logistics operations."

Chu Guipin tasted the meaning of this position, and found some clues from the film and television novels he had read in his previous life, and asked, "Then you don't need to go to the battlefield in person? You can just sit in the headquarters. But I heard that the supervising army has great power." , is equivalent to the representative of the emperor, and can even change generals or something, I don’t know if this is actually the case, how could he suddenly think of giving you such an important position?”

"It's not that he thought, it's just forced by the situation." Xiao Qi replied after snorting.

On the way back home, he had already thought clearly.

When Zongzheng Xiaoyan proposed that he should lead the army, it was not surprising that the emperor and the prime minister jointly opposed it. Since this is the case, we can only discuss new candidates again.

In terms of battlefield experience and prestige among the military officers, Yuanzhou General Pei Chuanhao must be the first to bear the brunt, but it's a pity that this man is too strong, he has trained hundreds of thousands of Yuanzhou troops like his own servants, and the needles can't be pierced. If the water can't get in, people don't worry about handing over the Qingzhou Army and the three armies gathered by the Central Committee to his hands.

Apart from him, that is the Captain Chen Cheng who lives under the Taiwei. This man is regarded as Jiang Huaiwu's diehard loyalist. Miss Di is a wife, with the name of in-laws, she can be regarded as a relatively powerful surname in the Jiang clan, so the prime minister will naturally not object to this candidate.

But if all the military power is handed over to him, it will be no different from returning to the Jiang family. Xiao Zhi had no choice but to compromise and recognize the name of commander, but he was unwilling to send Xiao Qi as the supervisor , Trying to muddy the water in the pond not only solves the urgent need, but also prevents the power from getting out of control to the point where it is completely out of control.

Xiao Qi could even feel the helplessness and entanglement in his heart when his nominal emperor brother made such a decision. This is the tragedy of not having a direct army in hand. Can't help it.

And he, naturally wants to take orders, not to mention that he has been yearning for war for a long time, even in the current situation, if he wants to avenge his father and Xiaogui, he must try his best to hold on to the military power.

Seeing the man's pensive and slightly anxious look, Chu Gui didn't know how to share his worries, so he could only announce first: "Wherever you go, anyway, wherever you go, I will be there, and I will be a personal soldier for you." That's it."

At this moment, he had almost forgotten what was the purpose of trying to squeeze into the palace with all kinds of tricks last year, and also forgot that the culprit he had been chasing so hard was still alive and well in the palace. Now he only has one thought, A soldier on the battlefield has no eyes, I want to protect him, and I will protect him even if I die!

Thinking in his heart, his eyes couldn't help showing a firm look, Xiao Qi's fingers stopped, his heart was so soft that he couldn't bear it, and his eyes looked back at him softly.

After looking at each other tenderly for a while, Chu Gui's heart was full of warmth, and he heard the other party respond: "Go, drink the soup first."

Looking down, the bowl of Qibu Tang that he had deliberately forgotten was dark and covered with disgusting oil, exuding a familiar and strange smell.

Gan, at such a touching moment, is it really good to mention such torture?

The warmth suddenly disappeared, what should I do if I think about domestic violence?

……

In the prime minister's mansion, Gao Tong hurried to the inner study, ready to report the results of his inspection to the master.

Before he entered the prime minister's mansion as a guest, he had worked as a servant in Minzhou for many years, and he had a wealth of experience in autopsy. Therefore, he would consciously go to check any death incidents involving the prime minister. Last year, the famous flower banquet Jiang Qin He also went to the scene, and although he found nothing, he made good use of his strengths.

It's just that this time the identity is different, he has almost exhausted all he has learned in his life, and after nearly two full days of grinding, he finally made some decisions.

Sure enough, as soon as he showed up at the mansion, the master immediately called him.

From body surface marks to hair and skin color, including blood, he explained the whole process of the test in detail. Although Jiang Huairen didn't understand the terminology, he didn't have the slightest sense of impatience, and quietly listened word by word.

At the end, he opened his mouth slowly and sorted out what he heard just now: "There are no injuries, and there are no symptoms of poisoning. Is it really an accidental death caused by drunkenness?"

It is said that this sentence was completely summed up from Gao Fairy's tale, but when he was asked to confirm it again, the man hesitated a little.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Huairen's half-closed eyes suddenly brightened, as if a sharp blade had been unsheathed suddenly, causing Gao Tong to shudder immediately, from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, gritted his teeth, and still spoke out his guess :

"It does look like this, but...it's just that when my subordinates were working in Fujian Province, they heard of a local deadly drug called "drunken dream". Any abnormality, but if it is taken together with good wine, it can increase the degree of drunkenness, from the initial drunkenness to the drunkenness, it is hard to guard against."

Jiang Huairen: "How come no one has ever heard of such a convenient and defenseless method of killing?"

"The Prime Minister doesn't know that this medicine is only produced in the mountains of the hundred thousand poisonous miasma in Fujian Province. After staying in front of the coffin for two days, he could still smell the slightest smell of wine. The smell of wine is a gas that evaporates very quickly, so it shouldn't be like this, so some doubts arose.

People who died of drunken dreams are different, the smell of alcohol will linger for a long time, although no symptoms of poisoning can be found after death, but one thing can be proved, that is, the effect of the medicine will break out again after a hundred days When the coffin is in the coffin, the smell of alcohol will even be a little stronger than when it is restrained. "

"Aside from this, is there no other way to prove it?"

Gao Tong: "Yes, so there is no evidence now, and this is why this subordinate hesitated just now."

Jiang Huairen lowered his eyes slightly, remained silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Understood, let's go down."

As soon as the person left, his originally straight back suddenly collapsed, and he became hunched invisibly. The guesses in the past few days became much clearer, but because of this clarity, he felt as if he had been hit hard, so that he trembled slightly with anger. .

After a long time, he murmured, "It's better not you!"

……

In the Tai Chi Palace, Xiao Zhi walked for two full hours before completely dispersing the cold food powder. He wiped off the sweat from his head and said to the chief eunuch with satisfaction: "The new recipe is really easy to use. I feel very comfortable right now. .”

Cui Chenglin looked at his ruddy complexion, smiled slightly, saluted humbly, and did not speak.

In fact, he felt something was wrong in his heart. Although he didn't understand the principles of medicine, he always felt that no matter what kind of medicine, once he became addicted and the demand was increasing day by day, it must not be a good thing.

But cold food powder is a prescription developed by a medical sage. It is specially used for beautifying the face, tonifying deficiency, curing diseases and strengthening the body. This is the only way to relax, so I can only put out my dissuasion and ignore it.

This matter can not be mentioned, but another matter has to be pointed out.

Director Cui pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, today...you and the empress have married for ten years."

Xiao Zhi didn't take it seriously: "I know, didn't I tell you to prepare a gift and send it over? Could it be that my companion forgot?"

"How dare this old slave forget that the gift has already been delivered in the morning, but... just can you drive the Kunning Palace tonight? Your Majesty, no matter what, you still need an heir by your side. I'm afraid it will happen again."

Xiao Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and the mood that had just been relaxed immediately returned to dullness.

Recalling the only night ten years ago, the disgusting feeling could not be stopped and climbed up his back. In fact, he hid it well. Not only did he like men, but more importantly, he hated women extremely. I feel unbearable.

On the wedding night, he forcibly took medicine to complete the task, and returned to the Tai Chi Palace afterwards and vomited in a mess, so the world thought he was afraid of the prime minister and father-in-law so he didn't get close to women, but in fact it was because he couldn't get close at all, and he was surrounded by servants waiting on him .

But Da Companion's words are indeed very reasonable. Whether it is for the purpose of gaining power or for future inheritance, he must keep his blood, and it has reached the point where he can no longer escape.

The two mountains would make him breathless, but when there was only one mountain left, the situation was different. He needed to lean on his back to walk more steadily.

Turning sideways to take a look at the position of the Queen's bedroom, then lowered his head and thought for a long time, Xiao Zhi clenched his hands into fists, and finally sighed and said: "The medicinal soup is served in a bowl, and then... put it on."

……

April eighteenth, Lixia.

In just three days, after Chen Chengsheng, the general of the Peking University, was summoned to the camp, 40 troops from the prefectures of Dading had already gathered, and all the generals above the banner officer and above lined up outside the city of Shangdu, and held a grand sacrifice in front of the battle. present.

After the offering of cattle, sheep, and land, the emperor Xiao Zhi poured the blood of the sacrifices on the military drum with his own hands. After the ceremony of "sacrificing the drum" was completed, the army set off. After more than half a day's journey, it was the turn of the heavy camp led by the supervising army to leave the city. .

The king's chariot embroidered with the word "An" is in the center of the camp. As the supervisor of the army, Xiao Qi, King An, stands upright at the front of the chariot. He is wearing a black jacket with a dazzling bright armor on his body. The red cloak fluttered with the wind, and his tall and burly figure was actually more imposing than the wave of generals setting off in front of him.

He caressed the Tianzi Sword on his waist, which was given to him by the emperor last night after he was summoned into the palace. He drew out his sword, intending to stab the man who had been deceiving him to death.

Luckily, he caught sight of Chief Cui, who was at the side, and finally regained some sanity, and did not make any suspicious actions, and his ugly face was thought to be just a fear of the upcoming battle.

Looking sideways at himself from the corner of the eye, a handsome young man was also staring at the bright yellow on the city wall, and as if he had made a sudden decision, he turned his head, completely calm.

He withdrew all his thoughts, paid attention to the emperor and officials who were seeing him off on the city wall, raised his right hand, and the wheels began to roll forward.

The driver was Xiong Liang, the leader of his bodyguards. Chu Gui and Wuming had two different faces. One was a handsome young man and the other was a young man with a scar.

The two cars following behind were Ruan Jixing, who passed through Ming Road and was recruited as a staff member for the march, and the other was Lin Yuan, the chief charioteer who was kicked and broke half of his front tooth in the court that day.Xiao Qi took the opportunity of this expedition to formally recruit people under his command, and he was responsible for the logistics support of the entire army.

After rushing for seven days, the nearly broken walls of the city of Zion finally appeared on the horizon.
