Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 278 Game

"Your Majesty, Zhendong County is short of food. General Gu, who was attacking Jinzhou Prefecture, encountered an earth dragon that blocked his way. The army set up camp on the spot, and I'm afraid it will take a while for them to reach Jinzhou Prefecture."

Bo Luohui leaned back a little, "The governor of Jinzhou Prefecture and the local garrison said that the late emperor had died in a dream. They said that only the son of the late emperor could ascend the throne, and the current emperor is not legitimate. It cannot be proved that he is the young prince of the past."

The governor of Jinzhou Prefecture could not declare himself king.

At least not now.

He only dared to use the banner of assisting the late emperor's son and turned a deaf ear to the orders from the capital.

Use the late emperor’s dream as an excuse.

"Which prince of the late emperor arrived in Jinzhou Prefecture?" Su Rutang realized something was wrong.

She did not imprison the princes of the previous emperor at the first opportunity.

Maybe it was a mistake.

But... the late emperor issued an edict to pass the throne to Shang Yan. He also asked Shang Yan to treat his princes well, so it was naturally impossible for him to deal with the princes who had no abnormalities at this critical juncture.

"To answer your Majesty's question, the fifth and seventh princes are not in the capital." Bo Luohui spoke.

"Didn't the Fifth Prince say that he was already a useless disabled person?"

"Yes. Previously, the princes were fighting among themselves, and the fifth prince almost lost his life." King Cheng took over the conversation, "The seventh prince was born to the queen mother. I think the queen mother played a role in the matter."

Su Rutang remained silent.

General Gu's army encountered an earth dragon turning over and was unable to directly attack Jinzhou's granary.

Unless they took a detour through Youzhou and then entered Jinzhou Prefecture from the west of Linzhou, the military expenditures would increase exponentially.

And the army was exhausted from the journey.

When we arrive in Jinzhou, we may not have the actual combat strength.

Su Rutang always felt that there was an invisible net covering everything.

It seemed as if there was a hand that brought people like Manager Yun out into the open. Only when they came out into the open could they be included in the plans of those behind the scenes.

Su Rutang touched the teacup and thought about it.

What she needed was food from Jinzhou Prefecture, so there was no need to rush General Gu to attack Jinzhou Prefecture.

"The governor of Linzhou..."

"The governor of Linzhou is my son-in-law. He has always been loyal to the court. He will definitely not form an alliance with the governor of Jinzhou. I am thinking of sending someone to Linzhou." Shen Zhongshu's eyes were clear. "I guarantee that the governor of Linzhou will strangle the throat of Jinzhou. General Gu only needs to wait for the official road to Jinzhou to be opened, and then he can march straight into Jinzhou."

King Cheng's eyes moved and he said:

"Mr. Shen, what you said is correct. This king also means the same thing. The governor of Linzhou has some friendship with this king."

Su Rutang put down the teacup in his hand with a smile in his eyes.

Slow opening:

"I am lucky to have your help."

Su Rutang looked out the window and saw that the wind was picking up.

It looks like it's going to rain again.

"Now we are just waiting for Miss Song's gunpowder." Bo Luohui sighed, "Without gunpowder, our Great Zhou army might be skinned alive by those bastards."

Everyone looked at Su Rutang.

Su Rutang covered his face with one hand and shook his head slightly.

"Miss Song, is there any progress?"

"Don't mention Miss Song. Because there was no progress, she found out that the book she read before that said it could be made into explosives was a lie. In fact, the Tang family had already experimented with that recipe.

Miss Song felt ashamed and had quietly left the palace. "Su Rutang's throat was dry, "I am only worried about the emperor in Jianzhou Prefecture."

Bo Luohui glanced at Su Rutang in a daze.

Cold all over.

He glanced at Cheng Wang and the others one by one, and said with a disappointed tone: "Is there really no other way?"

Prince Anping was so frightened that his lips trembled.

Before, I was thinking that Song Huaiyan could develop explosives and then send the explosives to the border to deter neighboring countries.

Now... everything has come to nothing.

He asked again without giving up:

"Is there no possibility?"

Su Rutang shook his head, "In the end, we can only make fireworks."

What's the use of fireworks?

Celebrate for the enemy country?

When Prince Anping saw Su Rutang's expression, he couldn't help but feel sad.

yelled:

"The Li Kingdom is shameless. They have signed a lifetime friendship agreement with us. They also want to unite with the surrounding small countries to divide up our Great Zhou territory."

Bo Luohui was very disappointed.

All his hopes were on Song Huaiyan, but now he knew that he had not developed anything to resist the enemy. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, as he thought of his fellow countrymen in his hometown.

Bo Luohui's hometown is very close to Zhennan County.

He looked at the sky outside through the window, and couldn't help lowering his head and wiping his face with his sleeve. Hearing Prince Anping still cursing the mean behavior of several neighboring countries, he was even more sad.

The feeling of powerlessness weighed on his heart.

He was afraid of letting Shang Yan down.

The scene was very dull for a while.

Su Rutang pressed his forehead and said, "I am very tired. I will go back to rest first. You guys can handle the rest."

Say it.

Su Rutang didn't wait for them to salute.

Helped Chunxi out the door.

But when he stepped over the threshold, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Bo Luohui couldn't help but stand up, but when he saw Chunxi helping Su Rutang leave, he sat back down.

Prince Anping shook his head.

"This king and King Cheng have thousands of grievances in their hearts but have nowhere to vent them. After we die, we dare not even see our ancestors."

King Cheng glared at him and said, "Why bother saying this?"

"So what if she doesn't tell me? The Queen insists on placing her hopes on a woman. I have never known what use those people in Ningguo Mansion are. What's more, she is the daughter of a concubine's mistress?" Prince Anping complained.

Shen Zhongshu interrupted:

"You two princes, please stop talking. General Gu has set up camp near the official road to Jinzhou Prefecture. Should we follow up with the military supplies?"

"There is also a small country called Dongyi that used boats to land on a waterway near Zhennan County. They say this group of people committed all kinds of crimes, including murder, looting and arson. What should we do? Find someone to negotiate with them or fight them back?"

After Shen Zhongshu finished speaking, he spread his hands.

"Let's not talk about these things after the queen leaves, but we can't help but discuss them."

It's time to go to the king.

"The queen is a woman after all, and she was discouraged to learn that these problems could not be solved."

……

Su Rutang was walking outside.

The wind blew and my body felt cold.

"The wind is blowing." Chunxi looked up at the sky.

"Yeah. The wind is blowing." Su Rutang murmured.

Arrived at Lizheng Hall.

Commander Yao is already waiting here.

"We need a commander. Tell Huaiyan not to contact anyone else. Just wait for me to contact her through a single line. Even if we develop it, don't let anyone know. If you want to experiment, ask Manager Yun to find a safe place."

"Yes. I will make this trip myself."

Yao Liangyu's heart was as clear as a mirror. There were not many people in the court who truly stood on Su Rutang's side.

"Your Majesty, you should take Qingdai with you wherever you go. Although Huo Mi is the commander of the Imperial Guards, we don't have time to clean up the palace. Not all people in the palace are ours, so whether it's the Queen Mother or others... you have to be careful."

"Okay, I understand."

Su Rutang gave him a secret letter, "Send a pigeon to General Gu and tell him that the Jiedushi of Linzhou and Jinzhou have both rebelled. Tell him to find a way to alienate them. Perhaps General Gu can use the surrounding bandits."

Yao Liangyu took the secret letter.

"Your Majesty, are you sure that the Jiedushi of Linzhou and Jinzhou have rebelled?"

"Well. Secretary Shen is an old fox, but there is always a loophole in a perfect plan." Su Rutang remembered what Shen Yunying had said before, and still got some clues from it.

Once she has clues, she can unravel the matter and work her way to the truth.

Yao Liangyu left.

That night.

It started to rain heavily.

Su Rutang went to the Eastern Palace holding an umbrella from Lizheng Hall. Yaoyao and Shangqi were both in the Eastern Palace.

Even with an umbrella, I still got wet by the rain.

Half my shoulder was wet.

Shangqi hurriedly asked the palace maid to bring a handkerchief, and he quickly came to Su Rutang. "Mother, why are you here?"

"It's raining. I'm worried that you and Yaoyao will be scared, but I don't want you to go to Lizheng Palace."

Shangqi took the handkerchief brought by the palace maid.

Let Su Rutang sit down, and he wiped Su Rutang's shoulders carefully. "Mother, go change your clothes."

"Ah."

Su Rutang asked him about Shen Tengfei, "Did he enter the palace today?"

Shangqi shook his head.

"I sent someone to look for him. People from the Shen residence said he went to his maternal grandfather's house. Shen Teng flew out of the capital and left a letter for me."

"Mother, Shen Tengfei will be mine."

Shangqi explained confidently, "He is different from the old fox Shen Zhongshu. But... Shen Tengfei is still the bloodline of Shen Zhongshu after all."
