Chapter 1040
After running around all day, Zhao Jin was exhausted, and after a while, she lay down and prepared to rest.

It is not easy to have such a clean and warm bed among the enemy troops.

Yan Rong guarded her, tucked her in the blanket, and said, "It's okay if you blame me. But don't be brave, you are not a person who can bear hardships."

"Who underestimated?" Zhao Jin was annoyed.

After a while, she looked at Yan Rong, couldn't help but complained in a low voice: "It seems to be very nice to me, why don't you go to accompany that traitor."

"Yes, I saved your life by sleeping with that traitor."

Zhao Jin suddenly became angry and said: "Everything about my father and everything about me have been robbed..."

Yan Rong said leisurely: "Didn't the Zhao family also snatch everything from the Chai family in the Hou Zhou and the Li family in the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Zhao Jin was silent.

Yan Rong stroked the ends of her hair, and said, "I'm not your father's, I'm mine. Li Xia made me fall in love. It's because I like him and I follow him. He didn't snatch it from anyone."

These remarks were obviously different from those of Yan Rong in the past, Zhao Jin couldn't understand, so he was stunned for a while... and then fell asleep.

Yan Rong looked at her for a while before getting up to leave.

As Zhao Jin said, she is still going to accompany Li Xia, the rebel.

……

"The concubine is too capricious, let that stupid girl run into His Majesty, don't blame her, okay?"

The two whispered that night, and Yan Rong seemed a little worried.

"It doesn't matter if you want to take care of her." Li Xia said, "Just let her see me less."

"Does His Majesty hate her?"

Li Xia was silent for a while, as if thinking, and after a while, said: "It's too noisy."

Yan Rong smiled and said, "It's too noisy."

Only then did Li Xia embrace her, gently caressed her back, and said, "This time I saw another side of you. Apart from being charming, you also have a side that values ​​love and righteousness."

"Hmph, I just realized that people value love and righteousness..."

~~
Lin'an.

On New Year's Eve, thousands of houses in the city are brightly lit, but the palace city is somewhat deserted...except for Furong Pavilion.

The candles in the Ciyuan Hall were extinguished early, and Quan Jiu's body was still unhealed, and she shrank under the thick quilt.

She has been getting lethargic lately.

Or maybe she likes the dreams she imagined.

I closed my eyes, and when I was about to fall asleep, I finally dreamed of the feeling of being surrounded by a powerful man.

Quan Jiu was half asleep and half awake, deliberately guiding her dream.

She knew that before everything she dreamed, there was a woman who did it, Yan Rong.And she just needs to replace that old woman Yan Rong...

The fish and dragon danced all night, and it was the New Year when I woke up the next day, and there were grand ceremonies for several days.

Quan Jiu wore a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, looked at the dignified appearance of her mother in the bronze mirror, felt ashamed of her dream mirror, and scolded herself for not knowing what she was thinking all day long.

But seeing her husband like a marionette at the ceremony, the guilt in my heart became much less.

At night, she was still thinking about those things before falling asleep.

Driven intentionally, the details of the dream became more and more detailed.

"I promise you..."

Quan Jiu has already made preparations, and plans to arrange for the brothers in the family to be in charge of peace talks with Li Xia, and take the opportunity to seize power.

However, on the fourth day of the lunar new year, Cao Xi came back, and the answer he brought surprised her.

"..."

"What did you say?"

"The traitor said, let the saint...don't take yourself too seriously..."

Quan Jiu was stunned for a long time.

A sense of humiliation made her spine tingle, right up to her tailbone.

"Saint, my servant heard what the rebel meant. It should mean that he wants to fight with the princes in state affairs, probably because the saint is a woman and mixes..."

"No peace talks." Quan Jiu said suddenly.

Her appearance and demeanor are extremely dignified, but once she becomes angry from embarrassment, there is some madness in her eyes.

"Da Song will not recognize this traitor's throne, and Da Song will mobilize troops...to suppress the rebellion."

"Saint?" Cao Xi became a little confused when he heard the loud words.

"Where is the official house?"

Cao Xi thought to himself, where else could the official family be?Frolicking in the harem...

~~
"Official, official..."

A few soft calls sounded, faintly reminding and frightening.

Zhao Yu took off the black cloth from his eyes, turned his head to look, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Oh, the emperor...the empress is here."

"Go down."

Quan Jiu only gave an order, and the beauties in the hall fell silent and retreated.

Zhao Yu was sitting tight, and was about to ask the queen what's the matter, when he suddenly heard a word that made him change color in astonishment.

"How about asking the officials to personally conquer and put down Li Nizhi's rebellion?"

"what?!"

When Quan Jiu looked at Zhao Yu, it didn't look like he was looking at a king, nor did he look at her husband. With eyes that hated iron and steel, he said: "Li Ni has no sincerity in peace talks at all. Let’s meet each other. Since we can’t discuss peace with him, we should raise our teachers to attack.”

When she said this, her tone was calm, her expression firm, and she was quite domineering.

At least he is more domineering than Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan swallowed in fright, forgetting to shake his head.

"But... I dare not..."

"The Zhanzihui will be commanded by Lord Jia Pingzhang. He doesn't want to go out because he is worried that someone will talk to the officials and say something against him. Now that Li Ni is at the end of his battle, as long as the officials agree to personally conquer, the rebellion will be suppressed!"

As Quan Jiu said, thinking of her shameful expectations recently, she became more and more hateful.

Only relying on her husband to quell the rebellion in person can calm the incomparable ups and downs in her heart.

Zhao Xuan's face turned pale from her fright.

"Why... how... can I go to war... no, no, it's too dangerous..."

"Jia Pingzhang's remonstrance is to invite the officials to conscript. Now that peace cannot be reached, is there any way for the officials to retreat?"

"no no……"

Quan Jiu suddenly took a step forward, looked straight into Zhao Yu's eyes, and said, "I am your wife, I will not harm you."

Zhao Yu panicked even more, wringing her fingers, tangled up.

Mr. Jia Pingzhang had mentioned the imperial conquest before, but his attitude was not tough. After Zhao Yu expressed his reluctance, he did not force him anymore.At this time, Quan Jiu was extremely determined.

Zhao Yu didn't dare to refuse, but also thought that both the queen and the master thought that the emperor should personally conquest.Moreover, the teacher also said that if he agreed to Li Ni's conditions, the country would be destroyed in the future.That……

"Would that be dangerous?"

"No." Quan Jiu promised: "Even if Yujia only arrives at Anqing Mansion, the local defenders will never dare to delay any longer. Everyone will fight hard, and the rebellion will be established."

"Really?"

"Really." Quan Jiu said: "The officials, please call Jia Pingzhang into the palace immediately to discuss raising troops to suppress the rebellion..."

~~
It was not until late at night that Jia Sidao returned to the mansion from Miyagi.Seeing that it was rare for him to stay in the palace for such an hour, his disciples all waited in the hall and greeted him one after another when he came back.

"Mr. Pingzhang, has something serious happened?"

"But the situation in Huangzhou has changed again?"

"..."

Jia Sidao waved his hand and said, "Today the Privy Council got the news that Li Ni has broken through Mount Xisai."

Weng Yinglong was taken aback when he heard the words, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "This is bad news, but it may not be..."

"It may not be good news." Jia Sidao shook his head and said, "At least Da Song is no longer worried that Lu Wenhuan will belong to Li Ni."

While speaking, he still frowned, and said again: "But if Li Nizhen goes down the river and breaks Lin'an, we don't have to worry about Lu Wenhuan joining him anymore."

Liao Yingzhong couldn't help thinking, at this time, Ping Zhanggong is still so funny.

Afterwards, Jia Si chuckled lightly.

"But today the official called me into the palace, but it's not because of these."

Several diners then began to speculate.

"Could it be that Mr. Pingzhang had a fight with the officials...?"

It's ridiculous.

But today's Lin'an atmosphere is even more absurd than this, so I dare to guess like this.

Jia Sidao saw that everyone couldn't guess, so he waved his hand and said: "The officials have decided to conscript you personally."

"..."

"This... Duke Pingzhang finally convinced the officials?"

Even Jia Sidao was speechless for a while.

After a long time, Liao Yingzhong shook her head and said, "The students can't guess."

"The wind blown by the queen."

"The emperor is weak, and even the harem wants to take part in politics?"

Jia Sidao smiled, and whispered to himself: "She is not qualified to play at the table yet."

Liao Yingzhong clasped her hands and asked, "Duke Pingzhang intends to defeat Li Ni in a single battle?"

Weng Yinglong pondered for a while while twisting his beard, and said: "If Ping Zhanggong can really go out to fight, there is a good chance of defeating Li Ni in the first battle."

Jia Sidao took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I'll think about it again... Has the person been found from Tiantai Mountain?"

"This..." Liao Yingzhong hesitated, "Judging from all aspects, it is very likely that they were trapped in Huangzhou along with the mission."

"Tsk." Jia Sidao smacked his mouth in displeasure, and ordered: "Send someone to pick him up."

"Yes."

Liao Yingzhong saluted, realizing that Jia Sidao didn't want to fight this battle.

Lu Wende is dead and Ezhou is lost. The timing of this battle is not good. If we discuss peace first, there must be better opportunities in the future...

~~
Jia Sidao stroked his forehead, turned back to the bedroom, sat down in front of the table with restless thoughts, and spread out the map.

"Meow."

A snow-white lion cat jumped down from the beam of the house, hopped lightly and delicately on the table, lay down on the map, and refused to move again.

Jia Sidao pulled it for a while but didn't pull it, he was too lazy to pull it again.

He leaned on the chair, stroking the lion and cat while thinking...

If this battle is fought.

Mount Xisai has been lost, and Li Ni has money and food to replenish, so I'm afraid he won't be able to win in a short while.

And if this battle is not fought, let Li Ni retreat first.With Lu Wenhuan's anger, Li Ni will never have such a chance in the future...

After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Sidao said to himself: "Whenever I want to fight, I can convince the officials myself, so why bother Quan Jiu?"

Once there is a decision, the thoughts flow freely.

Jia Sidao gently scratched the lion cat's chin, and sighed: "Young Tu, ah, Little Tu, it's a big Chinese New Year, only the two of us celebrate the New Year together."

The lion cat narrowed its eyes, stretched out its paws, and pushed it, and the valuable inkstone next to the table was immediately pushed to the ground, and it fell apart with a "bang".

Jia Sidao smiled wryly, and murmured: "OK, OK, I can't control you, okay?"

The lion cat didn't understand what he was talking about, so it yelled at him again.

"Meow……"
