Chapter 318 The Queen Mother's Advice
…
At this time in the imperial court, Prince Gao also came to Longyang City from his fiefdom.
When he arrived in Longyang City, Prince Gao directly asked to see the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother saw Prince Gao coming, she naturally gave him a warm welcome.
No matter what, Prince Gao is also the Queen Mother's man.
After arriving at the Queen Mother's bedroom, Prince Gao bowed and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother... It's been a long time since I last saw her. She's still so young..."
The Queen Mother looked at the compliments from Old Prince Gao and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Prince Gao , you are too kind... What do you mean young... He is no longer young... But Prince Gao is still as energetic as he was when he was young..."
Old Prince Gao smiled bitterly, and then said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I am old and useless... Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother not think of an old guy like me when it comes to attacking Daxia?"
After hearing what Prince Gao said, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He was wondering before, what was the purpose of Prince Gao entering Longyang this time?
Now, after hearing the sarcastic words of Prince Gao, he understood instantly.
The Queen Mother said to Old Prince Gao, "Zhongbo, I was wondering why you rushed into Longyang. I guess it was for this matter."
Old Prince Gao said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, do you have any doubts about me or something? Was it me who took the lead in getting rid of those rebels in the clan? If it weren't for me, His Majesty might not be who he is now..."
After hearing what Old Prince Gao said, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "I will always remember this favor... You... are already old, you shouldn't be so angry..."
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Old Prince Gao said to her, "Queen Mother, tell me... do you want to support a new prince... or do you think that our Gao family's army is a threat to your imperial power... If so... we will hand over all our Gao family's army to His Royal Highness the Second Prince without saying anything..."
The Queen Mother looked at Prince Gao and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Then he waved to one of his eunuchs.
The eunuch under his command understood what he meant and walked straight to the door and closed it.
The Queen Mother stood up, walked to the side of Prince Gao, and said with a smile, "My dear brother... When will you change your childish temper? You... You are the person I trust the most... How could I not trust you..."
Seeing the Queen Mother's reaction, Prince Gao was a little surprised and said, "Then what are you doing..."
The Queen Mother said to Old Prince Gao, "Don't you see? I am making things difficult for the Second Prince and his men. The Second Prince and Xie Zhizi are too powerful in the Great Zhou, so I want to use this incident to put a dent in their prestige... Before, why did I let you stay in Ping'an City... I wanted them to fight first... After they suffered a few defeats, I would let your Gao Family Army... Now, isn't the credit in your hands? I can also give the Second Prince and Xie Zhizi a lesson..."
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Prince Gao Zhongbo was visibly stunned.
An embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on the old face , and then he said to Gao Zhongbo, "Queen Mother, are you serious?"
The Queen Mother said to Old Prince Gao, "Of course I took it seriously... What's going on? Could it be that Cheng Zhongbo still doesn't trust me... In fact, I didn't want them to go to the border... I wanted to give them the troops on Yuntai Mountain just to make things difficult for them. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wenqin and Xie Xunfeng were quite resourceful. They actually took the troops away..."
"Even Scar Liu was involved. You must have heard about this too..."
Prince Gao nodded.
The Queen Mother then went back to her bedroom and took out a letter.
"I had already written this letter a long time ago. I was thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to give it to you... Who would have thought that you would come here first..."
After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Prince Gao read the letter she had prepared...
After reading the letter, Old Prince Gao slapped his thigh with an unpleasant expression and said, "It's bad..."
The Queen Mother looked at Old Prince Gao's appearance, and then quickly said to him, "Zhong Bo, what's wrong?"
Old Prince Gao said to the Queen Mother with a bad look on his face, "Queen Mother, I asked Zong Bang to stop them outside the city at the border and provoke them. I want to cause a conflict... Will this disrupt your plan..."
After hearing what Old Prince Gao said, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "I thought it was some big deal... So it's this... It doesn't matter... That's right, if they dare to take action and clash with the army one after another, even if Your Majesty wants to protect them, there is nothing you can do..."
Old Prince Gao said to the Queen Mother, "If they don't dare to conflict with us... I will let Zongbang lead his men to conquer Daxia directly..."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother said to Old Prince Gao, "You... are really confused... I know that your Gao family army is good at fighting, but the Great Zhou is not simple either... You are too rash... If you win, it's fine, but if you lose... Isn't this letting them take advantage?"
Old Prince Gao nodded repeatedly, and then said, "There's still time... I'll send a pigeon to send a letter..."
The Queen Mother nodded after listening, and said to Old Prince Gao, "That's right... If they want to change defense, then change defense... If they want to attack, then attack. They are just a group of 100,000 cannon fodder, it is impossible for them to conquer the Great Zhou... When the time comes, you will appear at the critical moment, and the credit will all be yours..."
Prince Gao is very familiar with this kind of bargain hunting.
After hearing the Queen Mother's words, a faint smile suddenly appeared on that old face.
"The Queen Mother is wise..." Old Prince Gao's face suddenly lit up with smiles.
"Hurry up... and tell Zongbang not to be fooled by Xie Xunfeng. He is not a simple person... very not a simple person..." the Queen Mother said to Prince Gao.
Prince Gao nodded to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, I understand..."
"By the way, now that you are here... what are you going to tell the Emperor? What are you rushing to the Imperial Capital for?" the Queen Mother asked Prince Gao.
Old Prince Gao was silent for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't thought about it yet..."
After hearing what the old prince said, the queen mother said, "Well, you can tell the emperor that you think it is not safe for the 100,000 men to attack the Great Zhou, and you can ask for reinforcements... After all, the Great Xia and the Great Zhou have not fought for many years, and the outcome of this battle is particularly important for people's livelihood and morale!"
