It’s okay to be the only son of the King of Qi, but who is Empress Xiao? The mother of the previous dynasty, Yang Guang’s wife, the woman who has been chased by the six emperors in unofficial history and legends. This is simply another Liuwei Dihuang Wan. But none of these matters. The most important Empress Xiao is Yang Ehuang’s mother, Li Chongjiu’s mother-in-law.

When it comes to genuine mother-in-law, Li Chongjiu already has a mother-in-law. At first, this mother-in-law was very disliked by the Han people and half-believed and half-doubted to marry her daughter to Li Chongjiu. Later, after Li Ying was born, she had a lot of research on how to help her husband become the official wife and make Li Ying the prince.

Li Chongjiu was already a headache for this mother-in-law. However, for the Han officials under Li Chongjiu, they did not recognize Li Chongjiu, the mother-in-law. Because according to the past etiquette system, only the parents of the wife were considered the king's relatives and truly belonged to the category of relatives.

As for Shi Deyun, she was a concubine, so her family, civil and military officials did not need to admit it. Otherwise, if three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem were included in the past, they would be like a dog, and the country would leave.

Therefore, this Empress Xiao is Li Chongjiu's true relatives. She and King Yang Hung of Qi are both real relatives of Da Zhao.

Yu Shinan said, "My Lord's request is to send Empress Xiao and the son of King Qi to Youjing together, and the king can attack Mingzhou in August and restrain Liu Heita. As for Li Shentong, my Lord will resist it himself."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present relaxed their expressions. They thought that Yu Wen and some difficult requests were made, and that sending troops to attack Liu Heita was something that Zhao State had always planned. It was just a small task now, just a month ahead of schedule.

Li Chongjiu thought for a while and said, "It is okay to send troops to attack Liu Heita, but I must first meet Empress Xiao and the son of King Qi."

Yu Shinan said, "It's too ridiculous to say that, and my lord will never agree. If you haven't seen troops send, how can you release people? It's better to do this. As long as King Zhao sends troops to Xindu, what about you, what will happen if you see Empress Xiao and the son of King Qi?"

"Okay, let's decide if this is the only word." Li Chongjiu said.

When Yu Shinan saw Li Chongjiu finally agreed, he was happy and said, "Thank you, King Zhao."

After Yu Shinan retreated.

Ji Chuan went up to the foreword and said, "Why should the king agree to Yu Shinan so easily? Could it be that he took Ren Yuwen and Empress Xiao and the son of King Qi to threaten us?"

Li Chongjiu said, "Ji Aiqing, you still can't swallow this breath. Yu Wenji is just a dry bone in the tomb. I will capture it sooner or later, and there is no need to worry about it."

Xue Wanshu said, "Yes, sending troops to Mingzhou is a major plan we have set long ago. Yu Wenji's request was a coincidence, which is considered to be the only one. What's more, before our army destroyed Liu Heita, Yu Wenji could not be annexed by Li Tang."

Li Chongjiu immediately asked Wen Yanbo, "If our army sends troops in August, how long can the military rations in the treasury be used?"

Wen Yanbo said, "I need to ask the Secretariat and the Ministry of Revenue to coordinate and know."

Li Chongjiu said, "Gao Sheng goes to the Secretariat immediately."

It is already afternoon, but there have been people on the turn of the Secretariat Province. Lin Dangfeng, the Minister of Revenue, has not left yet. Lin Dangfeng directly took more than a dozen account books to the stage, Dangdang made a count, and immediately responded to Li Chongjiu: "If the troops are sent in August and the autumn grain is not collected, they can only support 100,000 troops for one month."

"One month?"

Everyone thought to themselves that a month was not enough to attack Mingzhou.

"So what if we plan to send troops in September?"

Lin Dangfeng said, "The autumn grain will be collected at least 10 months, so at least two months, or even a little tight for three months."

"The difference between sending troops for one month is so big?" Xue Wanshu said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, will you find wealthy businessmen in the civilian businessmen like the last time you sent troops to Khitan and ask them to raise food?" asked the person next to you.

Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said, "This is an act of disturbing the people. It's fine if you have used it once, and you can't use it again."

Lin Dangfeng said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to send out the entire army. You can order a 10,000 or 20,000 troops to rush forward to support Yu Culture and this is also considered to meet the requirements of Xu State."

Zhang Xuansu stepped forward and said, "This matter must not be done."

Lin Dangfeng asked, "Shilarious Minister Zhang, why is it so unreasonable?"

Zhang Xuansu said, "This is related to the success or failure of this attack on Liu Heita, and the troops cannot be divided."

Lin Dangfeng said, "There are all confidant ministers here. Can Mr. Zhang tell me a little bit and let me know the reasons why I can't divide the troops."

Zhang Xuansu said, "Sorry, this matter has not come to an end, so we must not say it."

Everyone was curious when they saw Zhang Xuansu's speech was so tight, but when they saw Li Chongjiu's acquiescent look, they stopped asking questions at the moment.

"This is not possible, that is not possible, so what should I do? Just let Yu Wenhua and wait a little longer. Anyway, our army is not not sending troops? It's just a month late." Xue Wanshu said with a smile.

"It will be a month to turn the world upside down. I'm afraid that Yu Wen will not wait, so I will destroy Li Tang and Liu Heita in combination," Ji Chuan said sarcastically, "Anyway, Yu Wen and such traitors will be destroyed."

"Mr. Ji, don't say anything, Yu Wen and his death are not worthy of being a pity. It's just that his place was taken by Li Tang. What's more, once the city is broken, Yu Wen and his actions will be burned together, wouldn't it be wrong?" Wen Yanbo scolded.

Wen Yanbo's words were always very important, so Ji Chuan stopped talking now.

Everyone discussed all night but there was no result.

The next day, Li Chongjiu held a court meeting and announced the matter of Yu Wen and asking for help from Zhao State in the hall. The ministers discussed the matter of sending troops for half a day, but in the end they did not discuss it.

After retreating from court, Li Chongjiu returned to his bedroom. He passed by a corridor and saw several palace maids whispering to the rockery. When these palace maids saw Li Chongjiu, they were all dissatisfied.

Li Chongjiu stopped immediately and ordered the eunuch to call the palace maids. Li Chongjiu's eyes swept over several palace maids, and the palace maids lowered their heads, and one of them even trembled.

Li Chongjiu asked them: "Sneaking, what's going on?"

When several palace maids saw Li Chongjiu asking, they were even more panicked and didn't know how to speak.

Li Chongjiu said, "If you tell the truth, I will give up my temper."

Several palace maids looked at each other, and the last one came forward with courage and said, "Report to the king, today Li E went out of the palace to buy vegetables. I heard that Xu sent an envoy to Youzhou and said that Empress Xiao would return to the king and let the king's family reunite in exchange for the friendship between Zhao and Xu. This matter has been circulating."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu asked, "I understand, then does the queen already know about this?"

"I don't know this. But I will not pass on it anymore."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "There are rules in the palace in the palace, and these do not need to be taught by you alone. This time, the small punishment and great commandment will be deducted from the two-month silver. I will not be given the example."

"Thank you, your mercy," the palace maids retreated immediately.

Gao Sheng, an in-house official, said, "King, the envoy of Xu, arrived last night, and it is known to everyone in the city today. I think if several important officials leaked the news during the discussion yesterday afternoon."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "No, the people in the palace are all Gu's confidant ministers and will never talk nonsense. This must be because Xu Guo is afraid that Gu will not send troops to rescue him, so he deliberately spreads news among the people, making it difficult for Gu to get out of the way. If he really doesn't send troops, he will become a ruthless and unrighteous person."

Gao Sheng suddenly realized when he heard this and said angrily: "King, the people of Xu are so despicable that they actually set up this plan."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "There is a country that is about to perish and can be used for all means. This is not surprising. I am just worried that the queen will be more troubles after hearing the news."

"King," Gao Sheng stepped forward and said seriously, "The queen is pregnant and should not be disturbed. The official ordered the palace to block the news from the palace and prevent the queen from knowing it. The king was relieved that no one would leak the news."

Li Chongjiu said, "This is the worst strategy. I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it for a lifetime. I'll tell the queen myself to go."

After saying that, Li Chongjiu immediately stepped forward to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Yang Ehuang, who was fuyi, had just drunk a bowl of porridge and was in good spirits. He half-lying on the couch and picked up a book and started reading it.

When Yang Ehuang saw Li Chongjiu, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, today I have retreated from the court two minutes later than before, but have you delayed any difficult matters in the court?"

Li Chongjiu sat beside Yang Ehuang and said, "There is indeed something difficult."

Yang Ehuang smiled and said, "You have never talked to me about the government affairs, and I have never asked me, why are you going to make an exception now?"

Li Chongjiu laughed, but didn't say anything.

Yang Ehuang was stunned, looked at Li Chongjiu and asked, "Is this matter related to me and King Qi?"

Li Chongjiu knew that Yang Ehuang had guessed it, and said immediately: "Yes, yesterday Yu Wen and sent an envoy to return Empress Xiao as the condition that we asked our Zhao State to send troops to assist Xu State and protect him from his death."

When Yang Ehuang heard Yu Wenji's name, Yinya nipped his eyes lightly, and his eyes showed a look of hatred.

"Yu Wen and this traitor actually have the face to ask you to send troops."

Seeing that Yang Ehuang was angry, Li Chongjiu hurriedly said, "Originally, all the officials advised me not to tell you, so as not to affect you and the fetus in your belly..."

Yang Ehuang shook his head and said, "The revenge of killing my father is irreconcilable. The officials don't want you to tell me because they are afraid that you will make a mistake. As an imperial family, I know what family affairs are and national affairs. You don't need to think about me, I will take good care of myself, and if my brother asks me, you don't have to pay attention to it."

At the end, Yang Ehuang burst into tears again silently.

Li Chongjiu hugged Yang Ehuang in her arms, and her delicate body was shaking in Li Chongjiu's arms.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel pity for the big generation. How should he think of a complete solution?

At this moment, thousands of miles away, Qiao Jiao, the governor of Donglai County, heard about the abdication of Emperor Taizhu, and committed suicide by taking poison.
