One hundred and thirty chapters south
Zhao Xiao just wanted to stabilize Jin Haitao. As for the specific tactical strategy, he didn't want to tell Jin Haitao. Therefore, when Jin Haitao asked, he just mentioned a few words lightly and changed the topic, saying: "In the next few months, I may be busy dispatching troops for Li Qiannan. The defense of Jinling City will be asked by Lord Jin."
After Jin Haitao calmed down, his IQ also came back. He couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart when he heard this.
If I really trust him, why did I transfer the general from Fujian to the military camp?
Zhao Xiao was just perfunctory to him.
But they are now grassroots on a rope, and he cannot drag Zhao Xiao back at this time.
Jin Haitao was tying up his little abacus in his heart.
At this time, Zhao Xiao not only has to supervise the war, but also has to appease the emperor. He may even find a way to establish a new king because of the emperor's "disobedience". Can he take this opportunity to develop and strengthen his power?
As soon as he thought, he felt so excited that he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Marquis, I will protect Jinling City and the Emperor."
Jin Haitao didn't tell the truth at first glance. There were already rumors outside that he used the emperor to order the princes. If he touched Jin Haitao again, he would be afraid that it would cause greater shock. Some things should be slowed down for the time being and then talked about them later.
Zhao Xiao complained in his heart, but his face was full of glory and nodded with satisfaction.
Jin Haitao, who returned to his home, not only took off his official uniform, but also took off the mask on his face, scolding Zhao Xiao for being so bloody.
At this time, Mrs. Jin will not let people see Jin Haitao's turbulence.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and there are often no good words when you lose your temper, and these words are usually circulated at a very fast speed.
She sent someone to serve in the room, fetched water to Jin Haitao himself to cleanse his hands and face, and comforted him with a gentle voice.
Jin Haitao finally controlled his temper.
Mrs. Jin carefully tempted: "Then I will let the little maid iron your official uniform and hang it up, and you will wear it when you go to court tomorrow."
"No!" Jin Haitao said without thinking, "I will continue my sick leave tomorrow."
Mrs. Jin was puzzled.
Jin Haitao said indifferently: "I'm stupid! Zhao Xiao must come to the palace these days to force the emperor to admit that the edict in Li Qian's hand is fake. What fun should I join in?"
Mrs. Jin realized it and her mind was changing.
If Zhao Xiao could not force the emperor and Li Qian had another imperial edict in his hand, if Li Qian really went south, Zhao Xiao might be in the name of a traitor, and the world would be in chaos. On the contrary, if Zhao Xiao could control the emperor and the emperor did not recognize the imperial edict in Li Qian's hand, Li Qian had already raised an army to go south, becoming an arrow on the string. If he did not fight, he would have to rebel. The world would be in chaos.
It only depends on who wins and who loses.
This is not a playful house wine. The loser will be beheaded and exterminated, enslaved and humble, and you will never be able to turn over for hundreds of years.
How is this good?
Thinking of this, she remembered the golden night far away in the north.
It would be fine if the south wins, but what if the north wins?
She felt uncomfortable as if she was scratched by a cat's claws.
After enduring for so many years, she finally felt proud, but she became an ordinary military minister in the court because she followed the emperor south. She finally became the commander of the Imperial Guards, but was used by Zhao Xiao, and even the blame... She loved the most and the most capable third son among her brothers, and also became extremely embarrassed because of her marriage status with the Han family. The fencemen in the court were afraid of causing trouble and were unwilling to appoint her third son...
Mrs. Jin thought about it and waited for the couple to rest in the evening. She gave Jin Haitao advice: "Look, do you want to send a letter to the old man in the north? If the world is in chaos, we can't hang ourselves on a rope, right?"
In the darkness, Jin Haitao did not say anything for a long time.
Mrs. Jin calmly waited for Jin Haitao's agreement.
Just when she thought Jin Haitao was asleep, Jin Haitao suddenly said, "Jin Xiao and Li Qian have a good relationship. Unless Li Qian is defeated and killed, he will always have a bowl of rice. Besides, he is also a capable person... Do you remember? When we wrote to him, he dared to agree to recommend me to Li Qian, which shows that he was very decent in front of Li Qian."
But what if Zhao Xiao is defeated?
Mrs. Jin was angry and swallowed rationally when she spoke, and said softly: "Aren't I worried about the uncle? When the two sides fought, he should be the most difficult!"
If Jin Xiao was suspected by Li Qian because of an unknown letter from Jin Haitao, then she would have nothing to regret.
Jin Haitao did not guess his wife's thoughts, but he did not expect that he had asked for the eldest son who had been strictly demanded by him in the past and was ignored by him later. He sighed and said, "Don't worry about this matter. If it doesn't work, let our Xiaoliu go to his brother!"
This made Mrs. Jin feel creepy, she suddenly sat up and said, "How do you say this?"
Jin Haitao has been fighting for a lifetime, and he was discouraged before he even started, which shows that he was not optimistic about Zhao Xiao's ability.
"You don't have to be surprised!" Jin Haitao said quietly, "If it's about marching and fighting, there are not many people in this world who can compete with Li Qian, but some things are not just about fighting. Whoever wins and loses is still unknown. We just need to do our best."
What is our business?
Mrs. Jin wanted to ask. But just now, Jin Haitao's attitude towards Jin Xiao made her angry like wild grass, and she couldn't extinguish it for a long time. Mrs. Jin was afraid that she would be angry and said something that could not be restrained. When she calmed down, Jin Haitao had fallen asleep, which made Mrs. Jin grit her teeth in the dark and tossed and turned.
At this time, Zhao Xi also widened his eyes in the darkness and could not fall asleep.
He found out that he had made a big mistake.
He shouldn't have sent the edict to Li Qian like this.
Now the matter has been completely exposed. If he does not admit that the edict was written by himself, Li Qian will not be able to rescue him legitimately. But if he admits that the edict was written by himself, how can he explain it to Zhao Xiao?
He should have a good discussion with someone.
Zhao Xi regretted that when Zhao Xiao wanted to kill Yang Jun, he did not stop Zhao Xiao.
Now Gao Ling and Yang Jun are gone, and there is not even a person who trusts him, let alone someone who gives him some advice.
Should he escape to Jilong Mountain?
But what's the point of escaping there?
Without the soldiers from the garrison to protect him, Zhao Xiao still wanted to do whatever he wanted to do?
Zhao Xi was a little glad that he decided to kill the eldest son of the emperor. Otherwise, Zhao Xiao would not have been so tolerant. He knew that he had sent someone to send a letter of imperial decree to Li Qian but did not rush into the palace to argue with him immediately.
Maybe, this is also an opportunity!
Zhao Xi thought in his mind that when he was in the morning court the next morning, it was blue and black.
Zhao Xiao stood in the first position on the right, seeing Zhao Xi's expression clearly.
He sneered in his heart.
Zhao Xi's experience made him pretend to be deaf and dumb, and his face was so thick that ordinary people could not compare with. Throughout the morning court, he did not mention a word about the edict or Li Qian's troops to lead the south.
