Vol 2 Chapter 959: Crack the earth to seal the king (three shifts)

"See you, Mr. Dou!"
Gu Jiu raised his teacup, "Mr. King Dou from the palace."
Mr. Dou held up the teacup with a look of fear, "The empress is absurdly praised, the Weichen dare not be ashamed."
"Mr. Dou is polite. As the first adviser by Luhou's side, his wrists and eyes are naturally extraordinary! Seeing him today is a well-deserved reputation."
"The Niang Niang exaggerated, the Weichen was completely unknown."
"Mr. Dou Guoqian. Uncle, what do you think of the double-track carriage?"
Pei Meng said solemnly: "This artifact should be used in the military first."
Gu Jiu nodded again and again, "This palace and uncle's views coincide, and indeed should be given priority to the military. What is your opinion about the current situation in the Northwest?"
Nima, this topic turned too fast.
Mr. Dou looked at Pei Meng with some worry.
Pei Meng frowned slightly, "The overall situation of the Northwest is set!"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Uncle is sure that the overall situation in the Northwest is set?"
Pei Meng's brows frowned more and more, "The minister is brave, I want to hear the empress's advice."
Gu Jiu put down his teacup, his face sank, and his tone was cold, "The Northwest is the territory of Da Zhou. Anyone who attempts to divide the Northwest is an enemy of Da Zhou. Da Zhou will kill it at any cost!"
As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere of the flower hall became solemn.
It's like a tight bowstring, it will break with a little effort!
Pei Meng clasped the soft armrest with both hands.
In the flower hall, a few servants are on the verge of enemies, their hands have been stretched into their arms.
Once Pei Meng has any changes, he will violently kill.
"No one is trying to split the Northwest!" Pei Meng made a loud voice, no doubt, "I never wanted to split the Northwest! I just want not to be cooked by a sly rabbit, and I don't want to end up with an eternal infamy."
Gu Jiu tapped the handrail lightly. "People who have been in contact with this palace know that this palace is a generous person and never cares about it. This palace has great contempt for the practice of cunning rabbits and running dogs. Only the incompetent people can do it. Come to this and other things."
accident!
Really unexpected!
Pei Meng exchanged glances with Mr. Dou.
Mr. Dou hurriedly asked aloud: "The meaning of the empress is to give the Northwest Army a way out?"
Gu Jiu solemnly said: "The court has never thought of driving the Northwest Army to a dead end. Your Majesty did not, the first emperor did not, and Emperor Wu Zong Kai Yao had no similar plans."
Pei Meng asked: "Is this the promise made by the empress for her majesty?"
Gu Jiu smiled and shook his head, "This is not a promise, this is a fact! My palace is just stating the facts."
Pei Meng asked again: "What is the attitude of your majesty and the empress? What is the attitude of the court?"
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "The court's attitude is very clear. The Northwest Army is the Northwest Army of the court, not the Northwest Army of a certain family and surname. The military power must belong to the court."
"The imperial court wants to take over the military power of the Northwest Army?" Pei Meng's face was gloomy, and he knew that Queen Gu told him to return to Beijing for an interview.
Gu Jiu emphasized, "This is the attitude of the court."
Mr. Dou asked in front of Pei Meng; "Listening to Niangniang, she seems to have different ideas."
Gu Jiu had a smile on his face and a soft tone, but what he said was extraordinarily damning, "Uncle naturally refuses to hand over military power. If the court forces you father and son to hand over military power, are you father and son going to rebel?"
Mr. Dou's face turned pale, haha, "I'm misunderstanding."
"My palace did not ask Mr. Dou. My palace wants to hear your uncle's answer."
She stared at Pei Meng.
In the flower hall, all the servants waited in full battle, like a big enemy.
Pei Meng was expressionless, and asked, "What do you want to hear?"
"Naturally is the truth!"
Pei Meng sneered, "I know what I know."
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, "This palace needs you to say it yourself in order to make the most accurate judgment. Sincerity is the prerequisite for conversation. This palace has nothing to hide from your uncle, what should be said or not, in this room It can be said. After we leave this room, we will return to our position of identity."
Pei Meng hesitated for a moment, and solemnly said: "No one wants to rebel! However, I was born on the battlefield, and I must die on the battlefield. I will never catch with my hands and die in the hands of a group of villains."
"Very good! I can see that this is the truth from the uncle! A good man, the shroud of horse leather, he is a hero."
Pei Meng raised her eyebrows, "The empress actually agrees with the minister's ideas?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course I agree!"
"Why? The minister's thoughts are obviously contrary to the will of the court. The empress should understand that the minister will not hand over the power of troops obediently."
"This palace knows that this palace has never thought of letting the uncle hand over the power of the army. The good fighters should always stand on the battlefield, and die on the battlefield, instead of muddled and hollowed out by alcohol. That is the good fighter. His sorrow is also a loss to the court."
accident!
What a big accident!
Is this the turning point for the Northwest Army?
Mr. Dou cautiously asked: "Is the empress supporting Uncle Luhou to continue to control the Northwest Army?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "Luhou and his son can continue to command the Northwest Army, but they cannot be in the Northwest."
I don't understand this.
The Northwest Army is not in the Northwest, where can it go?
"What kind of place is Xiliang?" Gu Jiu asked suddenly.
Of the three people present, only Mr. Dou had been to Xiliang King City.
He considered it and said, "The King City of Xiliang is rich, but the people of Xiliang are poor."
"The palace heard people say that there is a vast land west of Xiliang, and there are dozens of national tribes. From the northwest to the west and to the south, I heard that the local nobles used gold to pave the ground and decorate with gold. Houses and buildings. There is gold everywhere, and the gold mines are exposed on the surface and mine at will."
"Really there is such a place? Weichen has never heard of it." Mr. Dou looked surprised.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I heard that the place is called body poison."
"Body poison?" Mr. Dou's mind turned sharply. "Weichen seems to have seen a description of body poison in a certain miscellaneous book. Is there really gold?"
"Find their royal city, and you will find that the entire city is made of gold. What's more important is that the people are meek. As long as the royal family is overthrown, the people will surrender willingly to the new master."
Mr. Dou became excited, "Weichen will look up information about the body poison when he goes back."
The preparation was basically completed, Gu Jiu looked at Pei Meng, "What do you think, uncle?"
Pei Meng's face was serious, "Niang Niang must have a deep meaning after saying so much. Please speak clearly."
Gu Jiu patted his hands, and Xu Yousi soon came to the Flower Hall with a map.
Hang the map on the movable wooden board and fix the four corners.
Throughout the Great Zhou, the entire Western Regions, it was clear on the map.
Mr. Dou's eyes are straight.
Pei Meng stood up abruptly and rushed to the map.
"The court has such a clear map? It even includes the Western Regions."
Gu Jiu was full of pride, "The caravan has been operating in the King City of Xiliang for many years and has worked so hard to finally draw a topographic map of the Western Regions. It took all the hardships to bring it back."
Pei Meng gritted his teeth and he knew that Queen Gu chose to cooperate with the Northwest Army for a more than simple purpose.
In the caravan who had secretly poked, secretly drawn a map of the Western Regions.
Pei Meng asked bluntly, "Bei Rong sent troops to the south, and Xi Liang also followed suit. Is this a motherly man?"
"No! Although this palace can judge the general situation, it can't influence the decisions of the Royal Court of Beirong and King Xiliang. My uncle overestimates this palace."
"Niangniang is too modest! Hopeless bald donkey, but a qualified chess piece. If Niangniang gives orders, he will definitely execute them without compromise."
"The hopeless master of this palace is grateful for the uncle's importance. Xiliang sent troops, there are early signs. In those years, through trade, we robbed a lot of money from Xiliang. People with lofty ideals in Xiliang have already realized that Da Zhou is Jackals, tigers and leopards must sever their trade relations with Dazhou. Bei Rong sent troops to the south, Xiliang’s main combat faction took the opportunity to take the place, and it would be a matter of time for Xiliang to send troops to cooperate with Bei Rong. This situation, Mr. Tongdou, who wanted to come to Luhou had long expected Therefore, the Northwest Army was able to dispatch troops in time to prevent Xiliang from joining Beirong."
Pei Meng laughed, "Women don't let their beards, and the ministers are willing to bow down."
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "This palace is just an afterthought, not as good as your father and son in the situation, but you can see the whole situation clearly."
Mr. Dou stared at the map for a long time and wondered, "Is the empress going to let the Northwest Army continue west?"
Gu Jiu stood up and walked to the map.
"The world says that Luhou and his sons are ambitions, and one day there will be a battle with the court army. No matter what the result is, it will be a catastrophe for Da Zhou. Presumably Luhou and his uncle are also ready to go to war with the court, this palace That's right."
Pei Meng was silent and said nothing.
Mr. Dou broke out in a cold sweat, and explained palely, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Niangniang can't listen to the words of the villain."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "No one is willing to surrender the authority in their hands, this palace understands. The Northwest Army is a confidant of the imperial court, which keeps generations of emperors sleepless at night. If this continues, the strength of the Northwest Army will eventually have One day we have to embark on the step of separating the northwest. Therefore, this palace writes an appointment to avoid the situation from developing to this step."
Pei Meng asked sternly: "How to avoid it? Let us father and son hand over the military rights obediently and return to Beijing for retirement. The court took the opportunity to dismember the Northwest Army and kill our father and son's confidant generals?"
"This is the worst strategy!"
Gu Jiu solemnly said: "Only a stupid courtier who has no brains and only knows that he is staring at an acre three-quarters of land can he adopt the methods his uncle said. Step by step persecution, all people will take up weapons to rebel. Several generations of dynasties have encountered similar problems more or less.
The final result, without exception, weakened the national power of the dynasty, and the dynasty went from prosperity to decline, and eventually fell. The establishment of a new dynasty continued to follow the old path of the previous dynasty, and it was repeated, seemingly unable to find a second way out. However, this palace does not believe in evil. After years of planning with your majesty, this palace finally found a second way for the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is also the way for the Northwest Army to survive. "
"Which way?" Mr. Dou asked Pei Meng the core of today's conversation.
Gu Jiu pointed to the Western Regions on the map, "The imperial court provided money, food, and weapons. The day the Northwest Army destroyed Xiliang was the day the imperial court named Luhou king. It was your father and son and the Northwest Army's king. Way out."
