Chapter 193: Chaotang
Shen Yan thought that if he wanted to become a green mountain in the emperor's heart that did not change his color, he must first become a woman who understood him and was willing to support him silently behind his back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is closer to his heart, and closer to his people. In turn, he will protect her. As long as she has his protection, she can control everything in this unpredictable harem and keep the quiet dream in her heart.
"Chengqi, do you really want Sister Min Min to go out of the palace to Jingyuan Temple to worship the Buddha?" Although Wei Min's visit to Jingyuan Temple to worship the Buddha was a foregone conclusion, Shen Yan still wanted to know Li Chengqi's truest plan. She asked, "Will she come back?" Aren't you afraid that people in the world will complain that you are partial to me and treat your sister coldly? ”
To Shen Yan's surprise, in the face of her tentative question, Li Chengqi did not answer, but fell into a bitter thought. It turned out that Wei Min's departure still caused him trouble. He was not comfortable with the doubts of the courtiers and the resentment of the people, which was very likely to arise - and he owed the world an explanation in this matter.
Shen Yan suddenly stood up with a long breath, cheered up and said, "Chengqi, I'll wait for you to freshen up and change your clothes." If I am not mistaken, there will soon be many ministers clamoring to see you, so you must plan ahead. ”
She can worry about what he has, and Li Chengqi is relieved. He nodded at her slightly, straightened his clothes, and walked knowingly towards the inner sanctum. Shen Yan quickly ordered Mama Cui to send someone to bring hot water.
After returning to the palace for so many days, this was the first time she personally served Li Chengqi to bathe. She gently and carefully washed every skin on his body, making him feel extremely pleasant. He only felt that with her by his side, all his troubles could be thrown out of the clouds.
"Yan'er. Do you still believe me? "I bathed and changed my clothes. He just took her hand and looked into her eyes. Ask such an inexplicable sentence.
"I've always believed in you." Although Shen Yan didn't know what he was asking her to believe, she still gave this answer. And she did not lie, she believed in him and intended to believe everything about him.
Li Chengqi didn't say anything more, just took her into his arms, as if hearing her answer, it was the greatest satisfaction and satisfaction in this life.
Not long after, Yuan Ji really came to report, saying that several important ministers asked to see Li Chengqi. No matter how much you persuade you to leave, you can't persuade you to leave. It sounds like this, there are no secrets in the palace, and the news that Wei Min is going to leave the palace has already spread, and Li Chengqi has already prepared for Yuan Ji to send those important ministers of the court for the time being. It's just that those important ministers of the court are not so easy to dismiss. He frowned slightly, as if he was very upset. After all, it is difficult for those important ministers to be troubled. He hadn't figured out a proper response yet.
"I am not guilty, but I am not afraid of everyone's criticism. If anyone wants to convict me, ask him to show evidence. Seeing Li Chengqi's worries, Shen Yan encouraged him with her firmness. She also said: "Sister Min Min is leaving." It was her own choice, and neither you nor I forced her. Besides, this is the emperor's family matter. The ministers of the court should not have been in charge. ”
Li Chengqi suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked Yuan Ji: "The person I am looking for." Huo Qing can find it? ”
"Back to the emperor, General Huo rushed to the East Palace to get people. The queen mother of the East said that she didn't know where Miss Nian'en had gone. ”
Huo Qing didn't find Nian'en, but he didn't know if Wei Min hid it, or if she really escaped on her own. In Li Chengqi's view, her existence will become a threat to Shen Yan.
"What are you going to do if you find Nianen?" Thinking of the scene where Li Chengqi instructed Huo Qing to kill Nian Ci last night, Shen Yan couldn't calm down in his heart. Nian Ci had the intention to defend Shen Yan, but he ended up with a tragic death. Now, her sister Nian'en is missing, and Shen Yan is very uneasy. Shen Yan was afraid that Huo Qing would find her, and she was also afraid that Huo Qing would not find her.
Yes, without evidence, no one can take his Yan'er what to do. As long as he Li Chengqi gives an order, no one dares to say anything to her Yan'er. He is the emperor and the king of a country that controls tens of millions of people in the Northern Zhou Kingdom. Thinking of this, he was no longer afraid to face the doubts of those courtiers.
Before leaving, he swore to Shen Yan: "I will not let anyone hurt you." ”
The corners of Shen Yan's mouth smiled and nodded his chin slightly, don't mean it: "I am your queen, in this world, there is no one else to hurt me except you." She believed that as long as he always loved her like this, she would not be afraid of the demons and monsters inside and outside the palace who wanted to target her, and even wanted to kill her.
Li Chengqi summoned a total of seven important ministers of the court who heard the news that the Eastern Empress was going out of the palace to worship the Buddha in his Jinyang Palace. Among them, Wei You and Wei Jiuting are the leaders. Wei Jiuting will be involved in this matter, just because Wei Min is his sister, and what will definitely surprise Shen Yan afterwards is that Wesley, the secretary of the military department, is also there.
Wesley was also involved, and even Lee was surprised. After listening to Wei You and others advising him not to favor the Empress West and punish the Empress East, Li Chengqi couldn't help but be the first to ask Wesley: "Wei Shangshu, do you also think that this time I favor the Empress of the West and wantonly punish the Empress East?" ”
Several ministers expressed surprise, Li Chengqi's words were not to Wei You, nor to Wei Jiuting, but to an unrelated person, Wesley.
Wesley was shocked, and stepped forward to salute: "Weichen thinks that it is unfair to convict the Empress of the East for being so unclear." ”
"I have never convicted the East Queen, I want to go to Jingyuan Temple to worship the Buddha, it is the East Queen who is dedicated to the Buddha, and I can't stop it." Li Chengqi turned sideways slightly, not modest.
Wesley, however, was also calm and calm, and said unhurriedly: "The Eastern Empress is virtuous and generous, if it weren't for the Western Empress pressing forward step by step, how would she invite herself to Jingyuan Temple?" ”
"You said that it was the Queen of the West who was pressing step by step, and the Queen of the East would choose to leave the palace, but what you saw with your own eyes and heard with your own ears?" Li Chengqi was majestic.
Hearing this, Wesley was enough to judge that Li Chengqi's partiality towards Shen Yan'er was obvious. For this reason, he bowed his chin and stepped aside, saying no more.
His reaction in this way obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of the other ministers. Originally, they said that they would admonish together, and they wanted to wake up their emperor with contrary words. But so soon, is this military department secretary okay?
Soon, there were older ministers, and Xitai Yushi Bao Wuyong stepped forward. This bag is Wuyong, relying on the emperor's dependence, and he stepped forward and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to hear the words about the Empress Xi's immorality outside. If it weren't for the fact that Queen Xi had lost her morality first, how could there have been so many uproars? ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqi's face turned pale. Insisting on the situation, Wei You couldn't help but wink at him, asking him not to say it so explicitly. But Bao Wuyong turned a blind eye, regardless of it, and continued in a louder voice: "The queen, the mother of the world, the Queen of the West is so famous, it is categorical that it cannot be used as a model for thousands of people. No matter how much the emperor loves Queen Xi, he should be willing to give up his love and value the royal prestige. I hope that the emperor will think twice. ”
"Lord Yushi's words are serious." Bao Wuyong's words had already made the timid and fearful Wei You reach a level of fear. Holding back the fear and worry in his heart and listening to Bao Wuyong's lofty remarks, he hurriedly stepped forward, and after saying a word to Bao Wuyong, he knelt on the ground and prayed to Li Chengqi: "What is the virtue of the Queen of the West, the emperor can let people find out, and then return the Queen of the West to an innocence, and also give the people of the world an explanation." But Weichen risked his life to meet the emperor this time, because he wanted to get the emperor, that is, the East Queen said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing in this matter, and the emperor also saw that the East Queen had been loyal to the royal family and the emperor over the years, forgave her, and withdrew her order to go to Jingyuan Temple to worship the Buddha. ”
He only begged his daughter to keep the position of queen of the East Palace, and there was no other desire. After hearing his words, his son Wei Jiuting also stood up, knelt beside his father, and said the same words asking Li Chengqi to forgive Wei Min. However, the difference is that while Wei Jiuting interceded for Wei Min, he also said a few good words for Shen Yan.
He said: "Wechen knew Queen Xi when he was young, and Wechen never doubted her virtue. And Empress Dong is Weichen's relative, and Weichen can't understand her virtue anymore. Wechen believes that this incident is just a misunderstanding. Or is it the conspiracy of someone with a heart on the side, please ask the emperor to know it. ”
The words of the father and son made Bao Wuyong and other ministers feel indignant - it was originally good to advise the emperor to depose Shen Yan'er as the Empress of the West, but how did the two of them take the lead in softening? But at this point, they couldn't say more.
And Wei Jiuting's words naturally made Li Chengqi feel good. After listening to his words, Li Chengqi's face looked much better.
"The Empress of the East is angry and wants to go out of the palace to worship the Buddha, but I can't dissuade her." He looked at Wei You and Wei Jiuting's father and son, and his words became much softer, "If you two can persuade Empress Dong to change her mind, I would like to remember that you two have a palace." ”
Hearing this, the Wei father and son naturally kowtowed and thanked him. They thought that as long as it wasn't the emperor's will, their daughter would still have a chance. However, when they walked out of the Jinyang Palace, they were besieged by several ministers led by Bao Wuyong.
Bao Wuyong and others unanimously said that Wei's father and son crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and lost trust in them. Wei You was miserable, and explained vigorously, "Did the rank lord really not hear it or did he not hear it?" The emperor's favoritism towards the Queen of the West is not something that we can change with a three-inch incorruptible tongue. ”
"That's it, for the sake of the country, we are a dead word, and we should be blunt!" Bao Wuyong frowned coldly, and he was very angry.
"A good loyal minister and good general who worries about the country and the people." A woman's voice suddenly rang out not far from their side. It was Shen Yan standing tall under the hugs of Su You, Cui Mama and others.
Seeing her, several people were frightened, a few frowned, and a different look flashed in the eyes of several people. (To be continued.) )
