Chapter Four Hundred and Nine: The Real Rival
The palace, the bedroom of the Moon Concubine!
Su Qiaoer was packing up some simple clothes, while Sima Yao was looking out the window with a melancholy expression. Looking at Qi Ran's Sima Yao, Su Qiaoer put down the items in her hand and quietly walked behind him, holding Sima Yao in her arms as if she was holding a child!
"Your Majesty, everything will pass, don't worry about the gains and losses at present!" Su Qiaoer said gently and sincerely.
"I believe that one day the emperor will get everything he deserves!"
"I just feel sorry for the civil and military officials in the court!" Sima Yao buried his head in Su Qiaoer's arms, and said with a choking feeling.
"Although they don't take the emperor seriously on weekdays, they are my ministers after all. Now, for their own safety, I have to keep them in Jiankang. What is waiting for them is probably the endless humiliation of Huan Xuan, a traitor!"
"I'm sorry to them!"
"Since they are all the emperor's ministers, what's the point of suffering some grievances for the emperor!" Su Qiaoer said comfortingly.
"The most important thing at the moment is how long can the fortress built by the Guards in Stone City stop Huan Xuan? Can you wait for Xie Xuan's Northern Palace soldiers to come to help? I estimate that the number of Jingzhou troops coming to Jiankang will not be less than 50,000. No matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, and no matter how strong the fortress is, it is afraid that it will be difficult to resist the Jingzhou army's offensive!"
"Although I am not happy with this person from the bottom of my heart, I have to admire him. Since he has this confidence, I must have a unique feature of this so-called fortress!" When talking about the serious matter, Sima Yao immediately calmed down his emotions, raised his head and pondered.
"Wei Jie is indeed a talent, but unfortunately he will not be willing to use it for the emperor!" Su Qiaoer sighed.
"Now in Wei Jie's heart, the emperor's superficial and cowardly image has been deeply rooted. He thought his opponent was Qiao'er, but he never thought that his real opponent was the emperor. This alone destined him to become a chess piece in the hands of the emperor!"
"Don't be careless!" Sima Yao shook his head and said.
"Even if I can hide it from him now, I still have to do it step by step. He is too sensitive. If I am not careful, he will understand everything. I have to rely on him to deal with the two old men Wang Gong and Sima Daozi, and I can't fail!"
Speaking of this, Sima Yao paused slightly, held Su Qiaoer's pair of jade hands, put them in his palms and rubbed them, and then said, "Wei Jie despises me, thanks to your cooperation with Yue Fei. If you hadn't played a lot in front of him, my current image would not have been deeply rooted in his heart!"
"Is there really a supernatural ability in this world that can enter other people's dreams? If the Weijie enters my dreams without my knowledge, wouldn't he be able to hide anything from him?"
"It is indeed incredible that Weijie has such a supernatural ability, but it is not without limits!" Su Qiaoer said with a smile.
"As long as the emperor does not think about the matter related to the Wei rank in his heart before going to bed, he will not be able to enter the emperor's dream. Therefore, in Qiao'er's opinion, it is very simple to say that it is to ignore him as much as possible!"
"What my beloved concubine said is reasonable!" Sima Yao nodded and said.
"Speaking of this, in the garden, I deliberately took this opportunity to give Wang Gong pressure through Wang Mosang. I never thought that Wei Jie would stand up and talk for Wang Mosang. It seemed that Wei Jie seemed to have a good impression of Wang Mosang!"
When Wei Jie was talking about the good feelings for Wang Mosang, the murderous intent in Sima Yao's eyes flashed, and Sima Yao's murderous intent fell into Su Qiaoer's eyes and turned into a bitterness at the corner of his mouth!
"I don't understand very well why the emperor chose this opportunity to act similar to a showdown with Wang Gong!"
I don’t know if Su Qiaoer is really confused or fake, but her eyes and expression are indeed full of doubts. Sima Yao smiled slightly when he heard this. First, he lit up his lips on Su Qiaoer’s forehead, and then he whispered: “Because I have seen through this old man Wang Gong!”
"Although Wang Gong is a little talented and intelligent, he has no ambitions. He is indecisive and short-sighted, and he is even more afraid of death to the extreme. He will fight against me twice in failure. At this time, Wang Gong's greatest ambition is to be valued by me and be a powerful minister who is powerful in the world!"
"I will not only not make him feel resentful when he rebelled against Wang Mosang, but will instead fight for his life to serve me in order to regain my trust!"
"Simply put, it is enough to deal with such a person who has no courage!"
"The emperor is wise!"
Su Qiaoer couldn't help but admire her and sighed slightly, and then said, "If the emperor had not been young and had unstable foundations, with the emperor's strategy, if he could have taken power a few years earlier, I'm afraid even An Gong would not be the emperor's opponent!"
"Xie An?" Sima Yao's mouth raised, showing a sinister sneer.
"The old fox is also a fox after all. Sooner or later, it will reveal its fox's tail one day. I'm just waiting to see what tricks this old fox can do in the end!"
"Your Majesty, General Wei is back!"
As soon as Sima Yao finished speaking, a little eunuch's voice came from outside the bedroom, and Wei Jie was back!
"My beloved concubine, it's time to leave!" Sima Yao took Su Qiaoer's hand and said softly.
"But I haven't cleaned up anything yet..." Su Qiaoer said without hesitation.
"Let's just leave it here. I guess that Huan Xuan would not dare to burn my palace. Let's let him keep it for a while!" Sima Yao said calmly.
"The most important thing is that the beloved concubine always has to be by my side and support me!"
…
Wei Jie brought back the news that Xie An was no longer in Jiankang City. What surprised him was that Sima Yao was not surprised and didn't even ask more questions. This made him unable to understand what Sima Yao was thinking after the New Year. Wang Mosang's previous few words made him furious. Xie An left Jiankang at such a sensitive time, and he had no expression at all!
Could it be that Sima Yao really feels that Xie An has withdrawn from the court and has ignored the government affairs at this point?
Sima Yao could think this is understandable, but Su Qiaoer, can’t you see any clues?
A moment later, Sima Daozi came with Sima Yuanxian. The father and son both looked a little gloomy and did not speak after entering the palace to meet, especially Sima Yuanxian. After seeing the Weijie, his face looked a little embarrassed. It was probably because Sima Yao's comments on Sima Yuanxian a few days ago that Sima Daozi got angry after returning!
