Chapter 381 Before

Before the edict was issued to protest, everyone had fought this war several times.

In my heart, in my mind, painting on paper, sand table matchups, and demonstrations over and over again on the vast grassland.

In addition to studying tactics, we also studied people, the large families of towns passing along the way.

"Since you want to fight quickly, you have to rely on manpower."

Deng Yi pointed to the map hanging in the school, which was different from the combat map hanging in Chu Zhao's house. The surname was written in each place on this map.

"I used to seek officials everywhere, and in order to cling to the crowd, I learned about many aristocratic families carefully. Later, I became the Grand Tutor. In order to cling to me, many aristocratic families entrusted themselves with the power of the family and recommended themselves frankly. I know more about them."

"These aristocratic families are lush and foliage in the local area. If they want, they can even cover up the government."

When he said this, Deng Yi snorted coldly.

"The Queen has personally experienced their help."

Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing at that time. He knew that he was talking about suppressing the rebellion. The Hanjun family suddenly turned against each other, causing Xiao Xun to be defeated, but after laughing, he laughed and laughed at himself.

This help was brought by Xie Yanfang.

Xie's family has a deep foundation. Xie Yanfang has been in business for so many years. The interests of aristocratic families are mixed, so Xie Yanfang can persuade them to help.

Moreover, Deng Yi’s current proposal was made by Xie Yanfang in that life. When Xie Yanfang was in a stalemate with the imperial court, the aristocratic tribes in the fortress turned against each other, which greatly damaged the imperial court and allowed Xie Yanfang to occupy half of the territory.

Can she, Chu Zhao, do this?

She still remembers that the Wei family of Handan County ridiculed her and disdained her.

"Why did the Empress become so timid?" Deng Yi also sneered from the side, "I have praised me for being powerful since I first met, but I have never been afraid of me."

Chu Zhao laughed again by him. OK, okay, she knew, just do it. She just knew it, but she was very brave.

But it didn't go so smoothly.

Before coming to Pingyang Mansion, I had already visited the aristocratic families in two other places, but I couldn't get close to the head of the family. I could tell my attitude by just looking at the outside officials, and I almost exposed my identity.

Tan is the last hope.

Thirty thousand soldiers wander and sneak. It is extremely difficult to get here. If you drag it down, you will be discovered. You can only start a war and attack the city and plunder the land. In that case, even if you can hold on, you will inevitably be in trouble. You will not be able to get close to the capital for one year, two or even three years.

Then this battle will really be like that in that life, and it will not end in ten years. In the end, whoever wins or loses may not necessarily end. Maybe Xie Yanfang will sit in front of her coffin and sigh at the past.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhao took a deep breath and reached out to touch his face again.

"You should buy some of the best cosmetics in Pingyang Mansion for me," she said to Chu Tang.

......

......

The attack on Xie's clan was full of controversy, but the real war was still limited to the vicinity of Yunzhong County, so although the atmosphere was tense, there was no big impact on daily life.

In restaurants and tea shops, the crowds running on the road are still lively.

Today, the East Street was particularly lively, with carriages and horses coming from all directions and stopping in front of Ximoxuan, including men and women, young and white hair.

This lively attracted the attention of idle people, especially when I saw the officers and soldiers who had been looking for the mouse holes recently passed here. Not only did they not disperse and verify, but they maintained order so that the carriages and horses outside could not enter.

People are even more curious about what? This East Street is not the most lively place in the city. There are only a few book shops that buy four treasures of study, and one or two non-popular tea shops. Why are there so many people suddenly?

More and more people were coming from all over the world, and they were saying "How is it?" "How is the win or lose?"

Soon, the shopkeeper in the bookstore held a blue banner and inserted it outside the door, and the crowd was instantly noisy.

"The people who read have won."

At the same time, the shopkeeper rushed forward, and the scroll was hung on the shelf outside the bookstore, which was densely filled with words.

"Look at what I wrote?"

"Whose beautiful article is it?"

The idle people were squeezed and had to stand firm against the wall, asking again, "What the hell are you doing?"

The person who was squeezed over next to him heard an explanation to them, "Xi Moxuan held a garden party."

The idle people stared at "Xi Moxuan has a shit garden." Such a small place is only two floors.

The person next to him laughed and showed off with a little bit: "You don't understand this. A garden party does not refer to a garden party. This is a way of literary gatherings circulating in the capital, which refers to men and women competing in the same field."

But someone next to him hummed, "What is the word "in the capital? It was clearly founded by Empress Chu. Now I dare not say Empress Chu, so I changed it to the word "in the capital". If you have the ability to continue talking about Empress Chu--"

Queen Chu.

Even though he was involved in the Chu Hou, the idle people stared at him.

But some people don’t like this sarcastic spirit and sneered: “So what about what Queen Chu created? If Queen Chu is guilty, will Wenhui be guilty? How many years has Empress Chu existed? How long has Wenhui lasted? Are you trying to promote that because Queen Chu is guilty, the world should prohibit Wenhui?”

The man suddenly blushed. He couldn't afford this and shouted, "You are talking nonsense, misinterpreting me-"

Then the quarrel started, and the idle people were stunned again, and everyone around laughed: "What's this? The garden party is just a quarrel. At the earliest time of the Beijing garden party, men and women scolded each other."

There is still such a thing? It’s fine for men, but women dare to scold them. People are shocked. People here have already started to clamor for "dispute" and "You win or lose."

The street outside Ximoxuan became noisy.

There was also noisy inside Ximoxuan.

The man downstairs was laughing, while the women upstairs were angry.

"What's so proud of! Zhang Xuandu is thirty years old, so it's not surprising that he won us."

"Yes, Aru can still compete with him, and we Aru is also very good."

"Yes, Aru, you are so awesome! Didn't the old man with white beard just now? You just have a little inferior pen tip, so just practice for a while."

"Hehe, Aqi, you dare to call Mr. Wen the white-bearded old man - be careful that your father will punish you when he goes back, that is your father's teacher."

Although the women were angry, they encouraged, praised, laughed and made fun of each other, and were full of youthful and bright atmosphere.

Chu Zhao, who was dressed as a handmaid, couldn't help but smile.

"I remembered when we were young," she said softly.

Chu Tang, who was also dressed as a maid, looked at her: "We are not even seventy years old and eighty years old, and that was only five or six years ago!"

Chu Zhao quickly lowered his head to avoid laughing and losing his composure.

Here, Xi Moxuan’s female shopkeeper began to greet “The new question is sent, this time it’s calligraphy.”

Chu Tang hit Chu Zhao with his arm: "Don't miss the past, work."

Chu Zhao raised his head and responded, held up the tray with a correct expression, and looked at the innermost table.

Chu Tang winked at her, walked to the other side first, and asked the women in front of the table one by one: "Miss, do you want to try calligraphy skills?"

There were usually four women sitting at the table, and five or six of them had good relationships squeezed together. When they heard the inquiry, some nodded together, while others had only two or three responded. Chu Tang arranged the paper in the tray according to the number of people.

Chu Zhao also walked inside and stood in front of the table. There was only one woman sitting alone at the table. Unlike the other maids who were waiting in the next room, her two maids stood behind him and accompanied him.

"This lady." Chu Zhao asked with a smile, "Do you want to try calligraphy?"

The woman was fifteen or sixteen years old, fair and pretty, but her expression was as condensing as the jade in her ears. She held her cheek with one hand and fiddled with the teacup on the table with the other hand. The teacup was empty and there was no tea. When she heard the inquiry, her eyelids didn't raise her eyelids: "No."

This is not the first time. When I entered the door, no matter what I asked, it would be a word.

Chu Zhao didn't say much, and responded again, getting up and going away, but this time a girl at the table next to her hummed.

"Miss Tan, you have been here for half a day, and you don't participate in anything and don't drink tea." She said, "Are you here to watch us lively?"

Miss Tan still lowered her eyelids and turned the teacup with her fingers: "Yes, let's see how ridiculous it is to compete with the men."

This not only made the girl who was asking questions raise her eyebrows, but the other girls also saw it with complicated expressions.
