Chapter 146: Discussing the Grand Plan

  At the time of killing Ya, Song Chuyi had expected that there would be such a day, but she never regretted it.

  The abandoned chess piece is either discarded or kept, it's up to the player. If Zi Ya's temperament was slightly weaker and not so extreme, Song Chuyi wouldn't have had to kill her, at least she would have spared her life for Zi Chao's sake.

  However, most people in this world will gradually collect their temper after experiencing many things, while some people will always feel that they are right no matter how many times they fall. Unfortunately, Zi Ya belongs to the latter.

  "My subordinates have already withdrawn." Song Chu said.

  The child was alone in the palace, feeling lonely, and when he finally met someone who could talk, he wanted to chat with him for a few more sentences. Seeing Song Chu turn around and leave, he unconsciously took a step forward.

  "The beauty stops here, you can't go any further." The maid behind her immediately reminded.

  The Qin state's control over the harem was not extremely strict, but it was also impossible to allow women to run around everywhere. Generally, only concubines could go to the front palace, while others were strictly prohibited from doing so unless they received special permission from the ruler.

  Zi Chao stepped down and watched as Song Chuoyi's figure disappeared into the distance, her clothes fluttering behind her, until she turned a corner and was hidden from view by a cluster of flowers.

  The dew on the leaves and branches refracted the sunlight, creating a dazzling glare. Zi Chao thought to himself, should he ask Song Chu Yi to send his daughter, Zi Ya, into the palace as well, so she could keep him company.

  Zi Chao didn't seek glory or honor, nor did she seek the freedom of a vast ocean and sky. She only wished to have a tile roof to shelter her from wind and rain, and live out her days in peace. But she also knew that Zi Ya was different from her, it's just that she had a one-sided wish for Zi Ya to become such a person.

  As for avenging her family, she was terrified from the bottom of her heart.

  In the study.

  Winning the hand standing by the window, looking at the lush grass and trees outside, a pool of luxuriant lotus swaying gently in the breeze. A young man in a stone-green wide-sleeved robe walked from the curved bridge in the center of the pond, but with ordinary eyebrows and eyes that were calm and composed.

  Song Chuanyi suddenly raised her head, and her eyes met with Ying Ju's as if they had collided. She was slightly stunned for a moment before smiling faintly.

  "Huai Jin." A shrill voice came from behind him.

  Song Chu slowed down his pace and turned around to wait for Qiu Li to catch up. The two of them walked together into the study room.

  The eunuch came forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is waiting for both of you."

  Two people walked into the house. Yíng Zhōu was still by the window admiring the lotus flowers.

  "See you later."

  Song Chu Yi and Zhang Liangzhong exchanged greetings.

  "Sit." Weng Zuan turned around and walked up to the main seat, staring at Song Chuyi and suddenly asked. "Doesn't Shi Mo under the pillar not believe in me?"

  "It's a miscarriage of justice." Song Chu reacted extremely quickly, knowing that Ying Ju was referring to her speaking out against Wei in the early morning court session, and the old aristocratic families would certainly lend their support with both hands, which also indirectly eliminated Ying Ju's true intention of attacking Wei.

  At first, Song didn't have such an idea, but at that time, Ying Ni was determined to tease her, so she simply turned the tables on him. This matter really can't be blamed on her.

  He stared at him with a poker face for a while before speaking. "Let's talk about the affairs of Bashu."

  "It is." Song Chu let out a sigh of relief. Although her real age was much older than Ying Ji, Ying Ji's young age and majestic demeanor made people feel immense pressure.

  "Ba-Shu is easy to defend but hard to attack. Even with a large army, it's not necessarily possible to take it down. However, in the past few hundred years, the wars between Ba and Shu have been as frequent as those in the Central Plains. I think that if we want to achieve twice the result with half the effort, we must use cunning tactics."

  "How does one practice the dark arts?" asked Ying Zuo.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there was a vassal state of Shu called the Bo State.

  She nodded her head slightly, indicating for her to continue speaking.

  "The state of Yelang, although a vassal of Shu, often collaborated with the state of Ba to resist Shu, and its strength was not to be underestimated..." As soon as Song Chu finished speaking, Ying Ju and Chou Li also understood.

  As long as there is discord, it can be utilized.

  Qiu Li's lips were tightly pursed, but she couldn't hold back her giggles.

  He won a glance of doubt, and suddenly looked at Song Chu one eye, smiled and said, "You don't know, sir, that someone was dissatisfied with you using her as a scapegoat last night. But looking at it today, you really have a discerning eye."

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a shameless inquirer asked, "This person doesn't know how to behave properly, but why is the young master also gossiping with others behind his back?"

  A hint of a smile seeped out from the depths of his slender eyes as he said, "What's your plan, sir? Do you have a detailed strategy?"

  "There are some ways, but the news from Bashu is blocked, and the information I have obtained is not enough to determine the strategy. If Your Majesty has decided to take Bashu, you should immediately send someone to investigate." Song Chuyi said seriously.

  Wining nodded and turned to ask, "Regarding Wei Guo, you wrote the word 'Zhao' on the silk book. I wonder if you have thought of a plan?"

  This despicable and shameless scoundrel! Song Chu muttered viciously under his breath.

  He also thought of this method, but after hearing about the "stirring stick" incident, he insisted that she carefully explain the stirring situation! Is it interesting?

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, with a faint smile and a calm tone, he said, "I think that after releasing the news that Zhao's internal turmoil has greatly injured its vitality and weakened its national strength, it is feared that Han and Wei will take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Therefore, use strategy to provoke Han and Wei to start a war. As for evidence, I suppose Your Majesty has already prepared it properly?"

  She lightly pulled Wang Yuzhe down with her as well.

  "Who would have thought that the person on the main seat would say with an unchanged expression, 'If it weren't for Mr. reminding me, I'm afraid a big mistake would be made.'"

  In other words: I didn't know I had to prepare evidence at all, thanks for reminding me.

  Song Chuoyi subtly curled her lip, and although Ying Xi didn't exactly have a righteous face, he looked like an honest person; she hadn't expected him to be so shameless.

  The monarch and his minister were secretly at odds with each other, it was clear who would suffer in the end. Song didn't make any desperate last-ditch efforts, instead he let the matter drop with a carefree attitude.

  The three of them chatted for a long time and roughly came up with a strategy, but they still needed to send someone to enter the land of Bashu.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, she remembered that Qin Guo had occupied Bashu. She also specially inquired about this matter, but as a minister of another country, it was difficult to understand the details. Moreover, this world was different from what she knew, so she simply took the events in her memory as auspicious signs.

  It's easy to say, but if you already know the process and result of something, when it happens again, even if someone tells you that this is no longer the original thing, you will inevitably still think about it.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one had to work hard to overcome this matter.

  Returned home as usual, but saw a peaceful and beautiful scene as soon as I entered the door.

  Under the lush apricot tree, Zhao Yi Lou wore a linen robe that had never been dyed and lay on the mat to take a nap. That handsome face looked good no matter what expression it was. And beside him, Bai Jing was diligently digging a pit to bury bones.

  Bai Jing first heard Song Chuyi's footsteps and quickly put the bones into the pit before turning around to run out and greet her.

  Song Chu patted its head and walked under the tree, shouting "Zhao Xiaochong!"

  Zhao Yilou slowly opened his eyes, and in those starry, cold eyes was a clarity that made it clear he hadn't been asleep just now.

  Just as he was about to speak, he heard a servant hastily say, "Sir! Someone has been sent by the Emperor to summon you."

  "Are you leaving?" Song Chu was puzzled, hadn't they just met? It must be an important message! Song Chu immediately turned around and walked out, taking a few steps before turning his head back to shout at Zhao Yilou, "Is this how your master taught you to practice sword fighting?!"
