Chapter 281 Li Canghai Finally Failed to Reject Xu Xin (Asking for Monthly Votes)
In the imperial city of Bianliang, in the Queen's bedroom, Xu Xin was lying on the dragon bed that should have belonged to the emperor, but the woman he held in his arms was the most noble woman in the world.
"Chan'er, stop it!"
Xu Xin used his hand to push away the hair that the Queen deliberately used to poke his nose. As the saying goes, the fastest way to a woman's heart is naturally... Anyway, since having sex with Xu Xin, the gentle and virtuous Meng has opened her heart to him, and she will show her little girl's attitude around him.
"Answer me again, am I really pregnant?"
Queen Meng, whose maiden name is Meng Chan, still can't believe it after hearing Xu Xin's previous news that she was pregnant and couldn't have sex today.
"Not only am I the best in the world in martial arts, but I am also unparalleled in medical skills. I can even know whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl after some time!"
Xu Xin said, carefully placing his hand on Meng Chan's lower abdomen. This is his first child in this life, but he gave birth to it with a different purpose.
I can only say that he has really changed a lot compared to when he first crossed over in his previous life.
"What do you think if this is a girl? It's not that I don't like girls. As long as it's a child with you, I like it. But Zhao Xu... I don't know how he will treat me in the future..."
Meng was a little worried. She was now happy with Xu Xin, but her husband in name was the emperor. If the emperor ordered her to sleep with him after giving birth to a child, she would not want to do it in her heart.
"Don't worry, the emperor will leave Bianliang in a while."
Xu Xin hugged Meng and told her a secret that the ministers in the court did not know.
"There is a turmoil in the north, and the Liao ruler Yelu Hongji is preparing for a southern expedition. And our emperor is also a man with high ambitions. He is going to lead the army in person to fight against Yanyun in the north, and has ordered all departments to prepare food and horses."
"The emperor is going to lead the army in person to fight against Yanyun in the north. This is too risky. I... are you going to go too?"
The first reaction of Queen Meng was that this matter was unreliable. Later generations boasted that the Song Dynasty had a high victory rate in foreign wars, but that was to regard the success of defense as victory.
In fact, in terms of field combat capabilities, the Northern Song Dynasty at this time did not have a high chance of winning against the Liao Kingdom.
During the reign of Zhao Xu's father, Song Shenzong, the Northern Song Dynasty took advantage of the internal chaos in Xixia to fight, but still failed to win completely. It only occupied part of the land, and these lands were later returned to Xixia by two fools, Sima Guang and Gao Taotao.
During the reign of Song Shenzong, after the reforms of Wang Anshi, the army of the Northern Song Dynasty had a certain combat effectiveness, but still failed to completely defeat Xixia. Compared with the Liao Kingdom, the gap between Xixia and the Liao Kingdom is quite obvious.
Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne at a young age. Now he has been in power for less than two months. He has not been able to fully gather all the power under his hands. If he rashly leads the army to fight in person, he will be another "Ming Dynasty God of War".
But Xu Xin supported his move very much. Even Zhao Xu's decision to lead the army in person was pushed by him. This is not that Xu Xin has any bad intentions towards Zhao Xu, but this is indeed a great opportunity to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Xu Xin knows the situation of the Liao Kingdom in the north better than anyone else. Yelu Hongji is preparing to launch a war between Liao and Song, but it is not entirely his own idea. The more important thing is Murong Fu's idea.
The current situation of the Liao Kingdom is not much better than that of the Song Kingdom.
A few years ago, there was a civil strife in the Liao Kingdom. The emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan rebelled and almost succeeded in usurping the throne.
After Yelu Hongji dealt with Yelu Chongyuan, he cleared a large number of the latter's supporters. The internal vitality of the Liao Kingdom was seriously injured, and it was time to lick the wound. Even if Yelu Hongji wanted to do something, he knew that now was not the most appropriate time to march south.
But now he was no longer the one in charge. After being defeated by Xu Xin, Murong Fu left the Central Plains and went north to the Liao Kingdom.
He took advantage of the separation of Qiao Feng and Yelu Hongji to secretly break into the Liao Palace and capture Yelu Hongji alive, forcing the Liao Lord to listen to him, and then summoned Qiao Feng to go to the palace. After a big battle, he defeated the explosive Qiao Feng.
If Murong Fu had killed Qiao Feng directly at that time, nothing would have happened later. But at this time, he made the mistake that all villains would make. He just imprisoned Qiao Feng and sent someone to send a message to Duan Yu in Dali, telling him that your elder brother was in my hands, and if you wanted to save him, come to the Liao Kingdom...
Then he asked Yelu Hongji to prepare for the southern expedition. Yelu Hongji basically wanted to march south, so he naturally agreed at this time.
Murong Fu was also stunned, or he never had a correct plan for restoring the country. Even though he has the most powerful military force, he still follows the same old approach of Murong Bo, who first provoked the Liao-Song War, causing chaos in the world, and then waited for an opportunity to restore the Yan Kingdom.
His idea cannot be said to be problematic, but it is really... too crude.
If Xu Xin had his martial arts skills, after controlling Yelu Hongji, he would definitely find a way to infiltrate the Liao Kingdom's high-level foundation little by little, and control the power and army little by little. At that time, it would not be easy for the Liao Lord to abdicate.
However, Murong Fu does not seem to have this brain, and he still follows Murong Bo's old way. Xu Xin even doubted whether his brain had been corrected by the "power of destiny correction".
"The emperor will lead the army in person, and the affairs of the palace will be decided by the queen mother and you. During this period of time, you should cultivate your own confidants and completely control the harem."
"More than two months after the emperor leaves the palace, you can ask the imperial doctor to ask for your pulse. With the daily records of the emperor's stay that day, no one will doubt the origin of the child... The Queen Mother is just the emperor's aunt. After she knows that you have a child, I will never fight with you again..."
"I will meet someone later and arrange for her to be with you. With her help, you will be able to better control the harem."
Xu Xin told Meng Chan a lot of things, and in the end the two of them had a tender and affectionate relationship. Although they were passionate but not polite, it made the queen devote herself to him even more.
Xu Xin walked out of the queen's palace and went all the way to the inner garden of the palace. He once again saw the familiar snow-white figure waiting for me, it was Li Canghai.
Time seems to have never left any trace on her body, and she is still very beautiful.
"What are you doing here again?"
When Li Canghai met Xu Xin again, his attitude was very bad.
What Xu Xin was doing in the palace these days could be hidden from others, but not from Li Canghai, who was also a congenital.
"In a few days, I will go to the north with the emperor. The queen has no one to help her in the palace. I hope you can help her!"
As Xu Xin said this, he walked up to Li Canghai, pulled her over, and just... moved his mouth.
Li Canghai's eyes widened, her pretty face was full of horror, and he put her down. Immediately afterwards, a feeling that he had never felt before swept through his body.
The snow-white dress fell to the ground and was pulled down by someone a little roughly. The delicate and slender arch of the foot was held in his hand. Li Canghai still couldn't refuse Xu Xin in the end. This most delicate little white flower was finally picked by Xu.
