Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 77 Discussion on victory and defeat.

"Heavenly Vein?"

"Hehe, is it related to the temple again?"

Emperor Qing chuckled thoughtfully. He stood up, walked past the eunuch who was cleaning up the broken porcelain in the room, and walked into the hall.

Behind him, Eunuch Hou pushed the wheelchair and followed slowly.
After entering the room, the temperature not only did not rise at all, but became even colder.

Chen Pingping subconsciously tightened the blanket around his legs, tidied himself up, took back his hands, placed them firmly on the armrests of the wheelchair, and kept stroking something.

This is the wheelchair design left by the young lady, which is intended to help some elderly people with mobility problems or some disabled retired soldiers. I never thought that one day I would be able to use it.
Without Emperor Qing's instructions, Eunuch Hou walked out, and it was better for him to listen less to the following conversation.

It just so happened that Master Fan was about to arrive, so he went to meet him.
"This time, the purpose of sending troops to Northern Qi, in addition to testing Ku He's bottom line, is to see how this so-called Tianmai will respond!" Shaking off the thoughts in his mind and no longer paying attention to the information about the temple, Emperor Qing slowly walked to the couch, lay down on his side and closed his eyes silently.

"This person is a bit evil."

"Although Northern Qi wanted to conceal the news about Concubine De, the poems she wrote when the Northern Qi emperor ascended the throne and the newly established Western Factory were all reported back."

"According to intelligence, the opponent's methods are very tough, but he has never touched the nerves of the Queen Mother of Northern Qi and Ku He. I think he will gradually become more powerful and become a great helper to the Emperor of Northern Qi! I think we must be vigilant against this person!"

Chen Pingping had to pay such a high price to capture Xiao En, and now there was another Concubine De who was even more ruthless than Xiao En.
Chen Pingping knew very well that His Majesty had taken notice of this person.

After hearing what Chen Pingping said, Emperor Qing had no intention of discussing this further.

Let's wait until the battle is over before we can confirm the authenticity.
"I heard that Fan Xian's bodyguard died? But he defeated and killed Cheng Jushu, an eighth-rank warrior?" Emperor Qing, who had closed his eyes for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the old dog in front of him with a hint of doubt.

It’s not that he began to doubt Chen Pingping’s loyalty, but he felt a little incredible about Fan Xian’s growth.

Compared with the so-called "Heavenly Vein Master" in the distance, Emperor Qing understood that Fan Xian was the true descendant of the Heavenly Vein Master.
"To reply to your Majesty, that is indeed the case."

As if thinking of the child, Chen Pingping felt relieved and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Is it possible that Fan Xian already knew that the mastermind behind the assassination on Niulan Street was Lin Gong?" Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"I have interrogated the secret agent Si Lili. She did not reveal any other people except Wu Bo'an."

Chen Pingping's face was serious and resolute, and he looked very trustworthy. He said sincerely, "If she is able to deceive me, I am willing to be punished!"

Could it really be Li Yunrui?
He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. As the emperor and his minister had different thoughts and were talking to each other, the voice of Eunuch Hou came from outside to report that Fan Xian was coming to see the emperor.
-
"Uesugi Tiger! You are truly a good general to me!"

In the Northern Qi Palace, after the young emperor listened to Zhao Gao's complete narration of the whole incident, he slammed the wooden table in front of him, causing the fruits and cakes on the wooden table to tremble slightly and make a loud noise.

An emperor is supposed to not show his emotions.

But Shangshan Hu went too far. In order to save Sean, he arranged for Cheng Jushu to enter the capital of Nanqing to assassinate Fan Xian. This was a collusion with the enemy country!

Has he never thought about it?
Isn't this handing the handle to the emperor of Nanqing?
"Your Majesty, please eat first."

He waved outside and said, "Don't pick a place. Let's just have dinner in this pavilion." I guess the little emperor was so angry that he temporarily forgot about his hunger.
Seeing that his beloved concubine was still unusually calm, the little emperor could not help but get anxious: "How can I have the heart to eat? In addition to the upcoming war, we also have to guard against Uesugi Tiger."

"Why should your majesty be so anxious?"

Seeing the servants put the food on the table, Li An served soup to the little emperor while responding calmly: "Now that the war is about to start, has your Majesty seen the Queen Mother send someone to summon your Majesty and the ministers to discuss the matter? Is Imperial Master Ku He still alive?" "My beloved concubine is right. It is I who am a little anxious."

As long as the Grand Master Ku He is still alive, the Northern Qi will not be in chaos.

It's just a temporary success or failure.
Seeing that the little emperor didn't continue to force himself and still picked up the bowl to eat with relish, Li Ang then pointed out the key point:

"Your Majesty, can you guess, is it better for Uesugi Tiger to win or lose this battle?"

Without rushing to answer, the little emperor invited Li An to have dinner with him and then began to think carefully.

In order to save Sean, Uesugi Tiger naturally cannot win.

If you win, you will anger the other party, and it will be impossible to ask them to release the person.

But what if we lose?
When the Qing army marched straight in as if they were in an empty land, would Emperor Qing feel that conquering Northern Qi would be a matter of moments and effortless?

In that situation, how would Emperor Qing view a general who could easily destroy a country? By then, Shangshan Hu would have lost his value. Not to mention releasing Sean, if there was a chance, he himself might have died!
Of course, the little emperor doesn't care whether he is dead or not. Anyway, Sean is definitely dead~
"Emperor Qing wants to use Shangshan Hu to contain me and disrupt the Northern Qi court. Shangshan Hu himself is also aware of this. In this case, Shangshan Hu can only make a draw in this battle! While increasing his own value, he will increase the weight on Sean to ensure his safety."

The little emperor's eyes lit up and he looked towards Li Ang with an expression as if he wanted to praise him.

"Your Majesty is wise and brave, and I am impressed." This casual remark made the little emperor happy. He was in a relaxed mood and even ate much faster.

While serving the little emperor his meals, Li An would take a few bites from time to time. The speed at which he swallowed the food was only faster, not slower, than before!

After meal.

The two wiped their mouths. The young emperor wanted to continue talking to his beloved concubine about this matter, but he saw Li An sighing and said, "Your Majesty, this battle is not something that Shangshan Hu can draw just by wanting it."

"Oh? I'd like to hear your opinion, my beloved concubine!"

The little emperor laughed.

Without beating around the bush, Li An expressed his thoughts, "Qing Kingdom has a strong military force. If Emperor Qing cannot get the benefits he deserves from this war, he will not give up easily. There is a gap in strength between the two countries. Even if Shangshan Hu wants to compete with them, he is unable to do so."

He did not let the palace maids come forward, fearing that they would hear something they should not hear. Zhao Gao was cleaning the table alone at this time.

"Besides, even if Shangshanhu wants to draw or win this battle, we can't let him do so!"

"In this battle, he can only lose! He will only lose!"

Li An's words came very suddenly. Zhao Gao was so frightened when he suddenly heard Concubine De's remarks that his hands shook and he almost dropped his bowl and chopsticks.

What kind of treacherous and perverse statement is this?

My dear, would you like to hear what you are saying?

Controlling his movements, Zhao Gao subconsciously turned his head to take a look at His Majesty's expression.
Hey!
Guess what?

His Majesty not only did not take offense when he heard this, but his expression was calm. It was that hand.
It’s almost reaching into the Queen’s robe!
