Liu Xie looked at it, and to be honest, he was also puzzled. He had just accidentally gotten Lü Lingqi pregnant before.
Now I don't deliberately control it, but Zhen Mi is not pregnant. I can only say that pregnancy is indeed a bit mysterious.
"Your Majesty, tonight--"
Zhen Mi mustered up the courage and was just about to say that Liu Xie would stay on her Qingli Palace bed tonight when a palace maid walked into the palace.
"Your Majesty, Yi Province have an emergency. Military Intelligence, Minister Zhuge, Guo Censor-in-Chief and Zhongshu Jia please ask Your Majesty to come and discuss the matter."
Attendant Palace Maid said respectfully and authentically.
Hearing that there was an emergency, Military Intelligence and Liu Xie were shocked and said to Zhen Mi and Lü Lingqi, "I'll come back later."
After saying that, he hurriedly left Ziyun Palace.
Zhen Mi couldn't say what he said, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, so he called out to Attendant Palace Maid who was about to leave, and told her, "When Your Majesty is finished, tell Your Majesty for me, and tell me that I will prepare red bean soup in the palace tonight, and wait for Your Majesty to come and enjoy it."
"Yes, Noble Lady."
Attendant Palace Maid bowed down and took orders.
Zhen Mi was a little relieved, then he took out a golden bean from the sachet he carried with him, put it on the table and said, "Take this for you."
She has never been stingy with rewards for her servants. The person in front of her is Son of Heaven's Attendant Palace Maid. It will be easier to do things after getting closer to her.
However, Attendant Palace Maid did not step forward to accept the reward. He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you Noble Lady for your kindness, but I dare not accept such a huge reward."
Zhen Mi was a little surprised when he heard this.
This was the first time she met a servant who refused her reward. You know that a golden bean is worth the expenses of an ordinary person for a year, but Attendant Palace Maid is not moved?
After looking at the other person up and down, Zhen Mi saw that his speech and behavior were good, so he asked with a little curiosity, "What's your name?"
Attendant Palace Maid said, "Slave origin Nan Commandery Guo Clan, small name Nüwang."
"Guo...Nüwang?"
After hearing Attendant Palace Maid's words, Zhen Mi and Lü Lingqi were both surprised. Apparently they did not expect that a mere palace maid would have such a domineering name.
"Your name is quite peculiar."
Lü Lingqi I have never seen anyone named "Nüwang". This does not seem like a name that a woman should have.
Guo Nüwang did not feel embarrassed by his name, and said calmly, "This is the diminutive name given by my father. My parents and neighbors have called my slaves by this name since they were young."
"Now that both of my parents are deceased, this name was left by my father, so I dare not change it."
"If there is any offense, I apologize to Noble Lady."
Guo Nüwang's attitude is humble and polite but not groveling. This kind of demeanor is really extraordinary.
Naturally, Zhen Mi and Lü Lingqi would not be so petty as to get angry because of the name of a palace maid. They were just a little surprised.
After listening to Guo Nüwang's explanation, Zhen Mi said, "It doesn't matter, just step back."
"Thank you Noble Lady."
Guo Nüwang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After bowing, he turned and left Ziyun Palace.
Xuan Room.
As soon as Liu Xie came in, he saw Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and others waiting here, discussing something excitedly.
"What news makes you all so happy?"
Liu Xie strode into Xuan Room and asked with a smile.
Everyone looked at him after hearing this.
After stepping forward and saluting, Guo Jia said excitedly, "Your Majesty, great news!"
"There is news from Yi Province that Governor of Jing Province has defeated Chengdu and recovered all of Yi Province. Liu Zhang is fleeing Jing Province!"
Guo Jia briefly stated the content of the message.
There was uncontrollable joy in his tone.
Although Yi Province is an enclave for Imperial Court now, when Imperial Court goes south, they can join forces with Yi Province's troops to launch a pincer attack on Jing Province!
"Besides--"
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Jia Xu added, "There is news from Jing Province that Cao Cao has killed Liu Cong and Cai Mao!"
Chapter 377 United with Liu Bei! Crusade against Ma Chao!
After hearing the news from Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Liu Xie was quite surprised.
Not long ago, he ordered Liu Bei to attack Liu Zhang, but only a few months later, Yi Province was captured by Liu Bei!
This speed is not bad at all.
But then I thought about it, Liu Bei has two great generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Xu Shu and Pang Tong are giving him advice. It makes sense to capture Yi Province.
Compared with this news, Liu Xie is more concerned about Cao Cao killing Liu Cong and Cai Mao.
"Cao Thief killed Liu Cong to seize power. Aren't you afraid of causing a backlash from Jing Province Great Aristocratic Families? How could Liu Cong be so defenseless against him?"
Liu Xie asked Jia Xu.
Cao Cao has the criminal record of Betrayal Sun Quan. Liu Cong and his alliance should be more careful. How could they be killed so easily?
Moreover, Cao Cao killed Liu Cong and committed another treacherous act. How could Jing Province Great Aristocratic Families turn against him?
"Report Your Majesty."
Jia Xu cupped his hands and explained to Liu Xie, "According to the information heard by Embroidered-Clothes Envoys, at Mid-Autumn Festival not long ago, Liu Cong hosted a banquet for Cao Cao at his house."
"While the banquet was in progress, Pretender Emperor suddenly led Armored Soldiers into Banquet, in front of Jing Province Great Aristocratic Families and Famous Scholars claimed that they were imprisoned by Liu Cong and Cai Mao, and threatened that they would kill Liu Biao Liu Qi and his son."
"So Cao Cao killed them on the spot on the grounds of Liu Cong, Cai Mao Holding the Son of Heaven Hostage, and Great Aristocratic Families also surrendered."
After hearing the entire incident, everyone in Xuan Room looked surprised. Even Liu Xie frowned and his eyes flickered slightly.
"As expected of Cao Cao."
Liu Xie sighed in his heart, deeply feeling the methods of this traitor Age of Chaos.
If Military Coup directly kills Liu Cong and Cai Mao, Jing Province will definitely not be able to successfully take over; but if Emperor Xian of Han comes forward to convict, and then does it in the name of disrespecting Son of Heaven, it will occupy the rightful name.
In addition, Cao Cao's own military strength is strong enough, so Jing Province Great Aristocratic Families can only surrender.
After all, Liu Cong came to power not long ago, and the means by which he came to power were not glorious. It was only thanks to Cai Mao that he could secure his position as the leader of Jing Province. There was no prestige at all.
Instead of bringing trouble to yourself for the sake of a dead person, it is better to find someone else to support you and directly support Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty."
Sima Yi said solemnly, "Cao Thief already occupied Jiangdong, and now it has seized Jing Province's important territory. It has become an out-and-out serious problem."
"At present, Yi Province has been recovered by Xuande, and Cao Thief has just occupied Jing Province. The power has not yet been stabilized. I think it is better to take this opportunity to send troops to attack Jing Province."
The position of Geography of Jing Province is very important and very rich. If Cao Cao is allowed to completely control Jing Province, its strength will be greatly improved.
So now is the best opportunity to attack.
However, as soon as his idea was proposed, Yang Xiu objected. "Grand Marshal Censor's point of view, I cannot agree with it."
Everyone has turned their attention to Yang Xiu.
Sima Yi frowned and said displeasedly, "Why did Yang Attendant say this? If we don't send troops to attack Cao Thief now, do we have to wait until he has digested Jing Province?"
From a strategic point of view, it is absolutely fine to attack Cao Cao at the moment. It is the best time to send troops.
"Dezu, what do you think?"
Liu Xie raised his hand slightly, signaling Sima Yi not to speak yet, and then asked Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu usually doesn't speak much during discussions, but now he suddenly raised his objections. He must have his own ideas.
"Reply Your Majesty."
Yang Xiu bowed and said seriously, "I was once forced to work for Cao Thief, so I know his character well."
"With Cao Thief's cunning, it is impossible not to be prepared for Imperial Court to come and attack Jing Province when Jing Province is not stable, so he must have been well prepared and rashly sent troops to fear being ambushed."
"In addition, Jing Province is in a dangerous location with many waterways. Imperial Court's soldiers and horses are all northerners, so they are at a disadvantage when entering Jing Province."
"Therefore, I think it is not appropriate to send troops at the moment."
Yang Xiu talked eloquently. In his opinion, Sima Yi's idea was correct, but there were still some imperfections.
For example, we need to consider whether Cao Cao has prepared a response in advance, and we must also consider the problem that the army is not good at water warfare.
"Well..."
Liu Xie touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then nodded to Yang Xiu and said, "Dezu makes sense. These two issues really need to be considered."
"Sima Yi Don't be too anxious when making suggestions in the future, let alone underestimate the enemy."
Liu Xie said neither lightly nor seriously.
Sima Yi is of course extremely smart and has a keen strategic vision, but some are too eager to express themselves and often like to put forward opinions before everyone else.
Sima Yi's face turned blue and white, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes when he heard this. He lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "I will remember the teachings of Your Majesty."
While speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Zhuge Liang.
Seeing that the latter still looked calm and calm, Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said nothing more.
He needs to change his competitive spirit.
After Xiaoxiao beat Sima Yi, Liu Xie asked the ministers, "Since attacking Jing Province is not feasible, what do you think we should do next?"
Guo Jia pondered for a moment and replied, "I think that for the time being, we should focus on cultivating ourselves and continuing to expand the army."
"After all, winter is coming. We might as well wait until next spring after Luoyang has been rebuilt and Move the Capital has passed before we consider mobilizing troops."
Guo Jia's idea received unanimous nods of approval from Jia Xu, Yang Xiu, and Fa Zheng, while Sima Yi continued to remain silent.
"Kongming, what do you think?"
Liu Xie saw that Zhuge Liang had not commented, so he took the initiative to ask.
