The emperor stood up and walked over to Dong Li, who lowered his head and did not dare to speak again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How much benefit did you receive from Shen Changji?"

The emperor's majestic voice came from behind, and Dong Li was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

The emperor sneered, "You have grown your ability, one went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fake public affairs and private interests, and used my Imperial City Division to deal with the squire, but lost the captives of Western Xia, and the other accepted bribes to say good things for him, what else do you dare not do?"

Dong Li slammed his head on the ground, "Weichen...... Wechen just thinks ...... Although Lord Shen was wrong, he was loyal to the emperor. ”

The Emperor was furious, "He is loyal to me, and he should do as I tell him," he said, pointing to the thick stack of folds on the table, "those are the folds of impeachment against him." ”

Dong Li said after a while: "Lord Shen has offended too many court officials over the years, and now that something happens, he will naturally be impeached......"

Dong Li's words coincided with the recital handed over by Shen Changji, although Shen Changji was wrong, those civil and military officials also wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Shen Changji.

The emperor felt that the old scars in his heart had been revealed, and when he wanted to reuse the Imperial City Division, those old imperial histories in the court would be obstructed in every possible way, and no matter what he wanted to do, those people would stand on the side of the Queen Mother and carry out the emperor to press him.

What did he say, he changed to rectify the rule of officials according to the predicament of the emperor, enrich the country and strengthen the army.

He gave Xungui some benefits, allowing their descendants not to have to take the imperial examination, and they knelt down to the gate of Cining Palace, crying that the emperor and the queen queen were in charge.

Yes, if he didn't have these nobles to support him, how could he sit on the throne, and he rewarded them after he ascended the throne, so that they could keep him stable.

The person sitting on the throne now is him, not King Hui, not King Qing, not even the Queen Mother.

As soon as the emperor thought of this, the chamberlain came in and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is here." ”

What is the crown prince doing here?, the emperor frowned.

Dong Li said in a low voice: "Maybe the crown prince knows about the cardinal and comes to share the emperor's worries." ”

The emperor snorted coldly, "Let the prince in, I want to see what he has to say." ”

The prince rushed into the door, and when he saw Dong Li still kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help coughing.

Dong Li immediately got up and retired.

There was no one else in the main hall, so the prince stepped forward, carefully took out a cup from his arms and put it on the table, bowed down and said: "Father, early this morning, the envoys of Western Xia arrived at the post house in the capital. ”

The emperor didn't raise his eyes, "I already know, the Ministry of Rites has drawn up an edict to meet the envoys tomorrow." ”

The prince bowed, "The envoy went to the prince's mansion of the son, saying that there was a set of wine utensils to be presented to the father, but I was afraid that after the audience tomorrow, these items would go directly to the warehouse, and I don't know when it will come to the hands of my father." ”

Erchen also thought it was strange, but it was just a set of drinking utensils, and it looked like an ordinary appearance, and it was nothing special. ”

The emperor casually glanced at it, and it was a glass cup that burned very clearly.

What was the purpose of the Western Xia envoys?

According to common sense, although the Western Xia rescued the Shuming, they will definitely not admit it, and will only continue to force the Great Qi to hand over people, and the Great Qi has no one to hand over, and the Western Xia took the opportunity to use the Great Qi to rebel and sabotage the peace talks.

When the envoys of Western Xia came to Daqi, they would flee back to China if they were pretending.

But now, not only did they come, but they also put on the appearance of continuing to sue for peace.

The prince motioned for the chamberlain to pour water into the glass, and the water fell into the cup, and the chamberlain couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes...... There was a fish swimming in it. ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became interested, and instructed his chamberlain, "Present it to me." ”

The chamberlain didn't dare to slack off, as if he was holding a priceless treasure and sending it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, look, it's the first time the old slave has seen it, it's too strange, it's obviously nothing, it's full of water, and there is a ...... You see, the fish still moves. ”

The emperor looked down, and sure enough, there was a golden fish swimming in the glass cup.

The emperor looked at it for a while, reached out and held the quilt in his hand and splashed the water out, and then took it back to his eyes, the fish was gone, and there were faint traces of gold at the bottom of the cup.

The fact that Western Xia was able to send such a good thing shows that they are full of sincerity.

The emperor looked at the crown prince, "Did the envoys of Western Xia mention the matter of the cardinal inscription?"

"No," the prince said busily, "I didn't mention it, I just said that I was willing to negotiate peace with Daqi, but I just ...... If you want us to reward them with Yinzhou, they will help us capture Xijing in Daliao. ”

The emperor was furious, "You dare to ask me for the city." ”

The crown prince hurriedly said, "Father, now that the Great Liao and the Jin State are at war, the Jin State has captured the Shangjing of the Liao State, and the Liao State is about to perish in a moment, if you can really take back Xijing at this time, even if you reward Yinzhou, it will be worth it." ”

The Emperor frowned in thought.

The Western Xia's supplication of peace was to get a piece of the pie at this time, and as long as he joined forces with Daqi, he would definitely get some benefits.

The crown prince couldn't contain the ecstasy in his heart.

When the Western Xia envoys came to him, he realized that this was simply a military merit for nothing.

If he hadn't had dealings with the Western Xia people before, how could the benefits fall to him this time, he didn't understand, after the accident in Zhenjiang, what position did the Manchu civil and military have to blame him for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

You must know that Taizu's country is not because he has a good relationship with the Liao State and asks the Liao State to send troops to help.

The crown prince stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Father, the son is willing to lead troops to Xijing." ”

……

In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother's hand caressed the gold-threaded embroidered gown in front of her, which was brought back from Xixia, Xixia lacked such good silk threads and clothing, and I don't know how Dongping came up with this dress.

The war between the two countries has been going on for many years, and Dongping doesn't know how much he has suffered.

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly blurred, maybe she was old, and a small thing would make her sad, especially Dongping, if she couldn't take Dongping back, she wouldn't be able to close her eyes even if she died.

What does her poor Dongping look like now?

It took a long time for the Queen Mother to let the gown be put away.

The female official next to her, Jin Wei, immediately brought a cup of hot tea to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, don't be too sad, I can't say that the eldest princess of Dongping will be back in a few days." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Jinwei lightly, "Do you believe this?"

Jin Wei was stunned when asked, "Didn't Concubine Zhuang send a message...... That Gu family will have a way to send a letter to the Queen Mother to Western Xia. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, "Even if the Gu family has a chazi in their hands that can be used...... But these words came from the mouth of a ten-year-old child. ”

What can a ten-year-old do?

Now that there is no Shuming, the peace talks between Daqi and Western Xia have entered a stalemate, and raising troops may be a matter of the blink of an eye, and it is impossible for Dongping to come back.

The Queen Mother was thinking about it, and a small chamberlain stepped forward and whispered the news.

The Queen Mother's eyes widened.
