With a cold snort, Shang Jianxiong flicked his sleeves and left. Tian Yu glanced at the three and quickly followed.
Tong Mo, who was leaning against the pillar, sighed. His shoulders slumped and a helpless expression appeared on his face.
Shang Yongzhong moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister, did you make a move on that woman?"
Tong Mo rolled his eyes and glared at him. "Prince, do you know what you're saying?"
"Hehe, just asking, just asking. It's just a joke. Prime Minister, don't take it seriously." Shang Yongzhong put his hands in his sleeves and crossed them in front of his abdomen, looking around happily.
Expressionless, Gao Jiancheng looked outside the door and sighed. "Femme fatale!"
Tong Mo nodded in agreement. He was also lustful. Previously, he didn't really agree with the saying "femme fatale", but now, he was deeply moved.
Shang Yongzhong couldn't help but shake his head. "At this time, because of an outsider woman, the harem is in chaos. I'm afraid many people will be unhappy." As he said this, he narrowed his eyes. Even he wanted to kill Lady Jade.
The other two naturally knew who he meant by "many people." They were the people behind the women in the harem.
Right now, they needed to rely on those people to control the situation. It was indeed inappropriate for the Emperor to favor one person at this time. However, that woman was protected by the Emperor. If the Emperor put his heart into it, it would be difficult for outsiders to make a move.
No one wanted to affect everyone's interests because of a woman.
"Prime Minister, you'd better communicate with Chief Steward Tian Yu." Gao Jiancheng hinted.
Shang Yongzhong nodded secretly. Without Tian Yu's help, it was almost impossible to make a move on a woman protected by the Emperor in the harem.
Tong Mo originally had this thought, but after being reminded by Gao Jiancheng, he immediately became alert. Afraid of falling into a trap, he coldly glanced at Gao Jiancheng and turned to leave.
…
"Look."
Behind the table in the imperial study, Taishu Xiong threw a report that had just been sent over on the table.
Shao Pingbo, who was at the bottom, stepped forward and respectfully received the report with both hands. With one look, he knew that the State of Zhao had suffered a defeat at the hands of Yan. The situation of the war between Zhao and Zhao has been reversed, with the offensive and defensive positions switched.
"Shang Jianxiong is quite lucky. He is courting death, but there are still people risking their lives for him. Shang Chaozong and his men are indeed good at fighting. They are truly able to turn the tide!" Tai-shu Xiong said in a mocking tone. However, it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
The four eastern countries had started to fight, and even the State of Wei and the State of Qi had invested a lot of resources. He just watched from the side, watching the countries fight each other until they were bruised and battered.
Shao Pingbo closed the report and put it back on the table. "If it weren't for the support of Wei and Qi, Yan Kingdom wouldn't have been able to fight this war. Yan Kingdom would have died as soon as the war started."
Tai-shu Xiong nodded. He naturally understood this principle. Without the support of external forces, the food and fodder alone would be enough to drag down the weakened Yan.
"On the other hand, it's also a good thing. Wei and Qi are also being dragged down." Shao Pingbo added.
Tai-shu Xiong smiled and patted the armrest of his chair. This was what he wanted to see. While laughing, he said, "Wu Gong Ling is really an interesting person!"
Shao Pingbo understood what he meant. Wu Gong Ling's interference had disrupted the plans of the State of Korea. This had undoubtedly increased the consumption of the forces of the State of Korea, and also caused the four eastern countries to become more divided. This was beneficial to the State of Korea. With a serious expression, he said, "Your Majesty, this person cannot be underestimated. In the past, he was overshadowed by his brother, Wu Gong San. My father's evaluation of him was not good, so I didn't notice him. Now, it seems that I have underestimated this person."
"Heroes are born in troubled times. He is indeed a character." Tai-shu Xiong nodded and suddenly asked curiously, "I heard that Mu Zhuozhen had given his most beloved daughter to Shang Jianxiong, and this woman is now favored by Shang Jianxiong. According to reliable sources, this woman has caused many people in Beijing to be dissatisfied. I have not paid attention to this woman in the past, but I am very curious. How beautiful is this woman that Mu Zhuozhen dotes on so much and can charm Shang Jianxiong? How much do you know about this woman? "
Shao Pingbo looked at him and noticed that he seemed to be interested in this woman as well. He quickly understood what was going on.
Mu Zhuozhen's favor was nothing, but even Shang Jianxiong had fallen for this woman. She had subdued two emperors who were used to seeing beauties in their harem. This woman must have attracted the attention of many emperors, and it could also be said that it was Shang Jianxiong who had attracted the attention of various powers.
"I have not paid attention to this woman in the past, but I think it must be because of her beauty. She has charmed Shang Jianxiong, and I'm afraid that it will be a disaster for some people! No matter how beautiful this woman is, she won't have a good ending. Sooner or later, she will become a ghost under someone's blade. "Shao Pingbo calmly replied.
Tai-shu Xiong laughed and said, "How can a weak woman become a disaster? In the end, it's because Shang Jianxiong's self-control is too weak. I, on the other hand, am interested in this woman. If there is a chance, I must snatch her and see what kind of beauty can make Mu Zhuozhen and Shang Jianxiong fall for her. "He revealed his ambition without concealing it.
Shao Pingbo could understand the ultimate possessiveness of a male. He did not say anything and did not comment on it.
However, Tai-shu Xiong changed the topic and said, "Since the situation is like this, you have to speed up the arrangements for Wei Country and Qi Country."
Shao Pingbo bowed and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. The manpower is already in place, and the results are starting to show. It's just that it's not good to force the speed. Otherwise, things will go in the opposite direction. We have to do it step by step."
Even if he did not need to be reminded, he would not let go of this matter.
He knew the importance of this matter to him. Whether he could achieve results or not, it would affect whether he could completely open up the situation in Jin Country.
Although Tai-shu Xiong had given him support, he still needed to rely on his own ability to produce something. Otherwise, all the officials in the imperial court would not be a decoration. This matter involved the interests of many people in the imperial court. Without an explanation, Tai-shu Xiong would not be able to support it.
It was because of this that he could not obtain the corresponding authority and could not do whatever he wanted.
…
In the war between Yan and Zhao, the offensive and defensive positions changed. Zhao Xingyan's defeat made the imperial court of Zhao nervous. The Zhao Emperor and Hai Wuji were under great pressure. They kept giving orders to the frontline to work harder.
Even without the pressure from the imperial court, Governor Pang Teng had no choice but to send a large number of troops to stop the attack.
It was obvious that the Yan Kingdom was unable to swallow up the Zhao Kingdom. Facing the invasion of the Zhao Kingdom, once the Yan Kingdom invaded the Zhao Kingdom, in order to stop the invasion of the Zhao Kingdom, the Shang Dynasty, which had invaded the Zhao Kingdom, would definitely not be polite. They would definitely destroy the Zhao Kingdom and drag the Zhao Kingdom's army down.
Once Shang Chaozong succeeded, Meng Shanming knew that Pang Teng would definitely split his troops to stop the attack. Hence, he increased the speed at which he deployed his troops. No one knew what he was up to, but Pang Teng was under immense pressure.
When he sent out a million troops to stop Shang Chaozong, Pang Teng was already extremely cautious, afraid that he would expose any flaws.
But this was what Meng Shanming was waiting for!
Meng Shanming saw this as an opportunity. Without any chance to create an opportunity, he suddenly launched a ferocious attack, causing the Zhao army to tremble.
At this moment, a weak spot appeared in the Zhao army. Xu Jingyue, who was leading the troops from Gong Province, launched a surprise attack. Like a sharp knife, she stabbed into the weak spot and split the Zhao army's main force into two.
Meng Shanming continued to attack, suppressing Pang Teng's main force from the front.
Shang Chaozong led his troops to counterattack. Together with Xu Jingyue, they attacked the troops sent by Pang Teng.
Pang Teng immediately sent out his troops to attack Xu Jingyue, helping the troops to escape.
Under Meng Shanming's command, Xu Jingyue's troops gave up the battle and went straight to the center of Zhao. Shang Chaozong also stopped fighting and went to the center of Zhao.
If Pang Teng did not rescue them, Xu Jingyue and Shang Chaozong would join hands to destroy the troops. If Pang Teng rescued them, they would run away.
Suddenly, the troops that went to the center of Zhao were split into two. Pang Teng was having a headache. Should he split his troops to chase after them?
Pang Teng's army could no longer suppress Meng Shan Ming's army. If he were to split his army to stop Xu Jingyue, Xu Jingyue was a fierce general of the Kingdom of Yan. If Pang Teng's army was too small, he would have to split another million soldiers!
Of the four million troops, one million had been defeated by Shang Chaozong. Another million was sent to stop Shang Chaozong. If he sent another million to stop Xu Jingyue, he would only be left with one million troops. After Xu Jingyue's five hundred thousand troops, Meng Shanming still had one and a half million troops left.
Meng Shanming had been waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to him.
However, he had no choice but to stop him. This was the most painful part for the defending side.
Pang Teng had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat. He wanted to make use of the terrain to reorganize the situation.
The Zhao army that had invaded Nan Province retreated. The situation was reversed. The Yan army had invaded Zhao.
As the army advanced, Elder Yue Yuan of the Purple Golden Cave caught up to Meng Shanming's carriage. He opened the curtains and greeted, "Sect Master."
Gong Lince flashed out of the carriage and landed on the side of the road. Yue Yuan jumped off the horse and handed over a piece of paper, "Sect Master, the Misty Pavilion has sent a message, summoning all the sect masters to the Misty Pavilion for a meeting."
Gong Lince took the letter and asked curiously, "What is it?"
"I don't know." Yue Yuan shook his head.
Gong Lince read the letter. It did not say what it was. It only specified a date for the meeting. The date was three days later!
After thinking for a while, Gong Lince dared not delay. He turned around and caught up with Meng Shanming …
Amidst the mountain range, two old acquaintances met. Niu Youdao had finally met Mister Yu Cang.
Niu Youdao refused to meet but Yu Cang was furious. He had to meet him.
In the end, the time and place were all arranged by Niu Youdao. Yu Cang expressed his full cooperation. As long as he agreed to meet, he would arrange it in the safest way.
When they reached a certain place, Niu Youdao sent a bird to fetch Yu Cang.
Yu Cang did not bring anyone with him. He only brought his disciple, Dugu Jing.
