The next day, a string of rumors emerged in Chang'an City.

"I heard that the eldest princess returned to the palace yesterday?"

"How is it possible, didn't she just get married?"

"Hey, Li Laosan, don't believe it. My third aunt's cousin and niece went to the palace to procure, and I saw with my own eyes that the Queen Mother summoned the eldest princess back to the palace yesterday. I heard that Concubine Ning Niangniang was to entertain the eldest princess, and she also ordered people to deliberately buy all kinds of snacks and snacks in the city. ”

"Really back? She just went to kiss, and this can go home? ”

"The Great Khan is coming back. As a son-in-law, why not come to meet the Queen Mother. Newly married Yan'er, can't you listen to your wife? ”

"Speaking of which, this great khan really loves his wife, and it has only been a few days, so he followed him back to Beijing."

One spread ten to hundred, and everyone gradually believed.

Jia Lian was just about to go to the palace in the morning, when he heard rumors spread in the city on the way.

"That's what Niangniang means?"

Yesterday, my own ladies were busy going in and out, and even at night they pulled Ping'er to prevent themselves from entering the house, and forced themselves to spend the night in the study.

"The gods are mysterious, I don't know what the mother told them."

After staying in the study all night, Jia Lian got up early in the morning to ask, but the two refused to reveal it, so they had to go to the morning court in confusion.

Not only him, but other ministers also heard gossip as they walked on the road.

Scholar Mei's father and son were in the carriage, and the scholar's eyes flashed, and he sneered at his son: "Look at this style, it must be the demon concubine in the palace who did it!" ”

Mei Hanlin was speechless, thinking of his daughter who was still in the team, his thoughts were complicated. When Wei Ying and the three of them came back, they only threw the team outside the plug. Because the Great Khan was tied up, everyone did not dare to kill people.

But outside the Seychelles are in jeopardy, and I don't know what will happen to those people in the future.

"So—father, are we going to do it?"

"Hands-on? Do what? Scholar Mei asked rhetorically: "Although the old man doesn't like her to interfere with the previous dynasty casually, in terms of the attitude of Jiangshan Sheji, we don't want to invade the frontier." ”

"Now that His Majesty is marching south, the most important thing at this time is to maintain the stability of the rear. Try your best to calm the possible anger of Saibei. Her method is nothing more than to characterize this matter, and under the pretext of saving relatives, she coerced the khan to force the northern part of the country to withdraw and keep the frontier stable for ten years. ”

"The demon concubine is fast enough!" Although Scholar Mei didn't like Wei Qian, he had to admit that this move was very good. On the one hand, it can ease the tension in northern Cyprus, and on the other hand, it can also save the face of the imperial court. The Khan came by himself, not kidnapped by Wei Ying, so naturally it was not a turn of face in the imperial court. Although Wei Ying has one less meritorious service that may be saved, it is not a bad thing to quell a fight.

"But if she does, the Khan's attitude is the most important thing. If he refuses to let go, he will bite hard. Hum...... The Wei family sisters and brothers are all unlucky. ”

The father and son entered the East Palace to meet the prince.

Now the crown prince is in charge of the country, because he is too young, he does not enter the Xuanzheng Palace to open the dynasty. In the East Palace, he summoned the ministers with the crown prince, the prince and the prince.

The boy sat on the chair and stretched his immature little face, but it was a little cute.

Lin Ruhai talked about the rumors in the city, and did not mention the source of the rumors, but everyone knew the bottom line.

Zhu Zhiming glanced at Jia Lian without a trace, and then looked at Scholar Mei, as the head of the seven Shangshu, standing quietly on the side.

This method, in addition to the fact that His Majesty likes to use it today, is the lady in the palace.

Zhu Zhiming thought of Wei Qian's intervention in the government over the years, and his heart was quite complicated. "It's also a shame that Your Majesty is big-minded, and she can tolerate her manipulating the situation several times. The six-part seven-part is simply a break of the rules of etiquette and music for thousands of years. ”

The Ministry of Agriculture was established, with opposition and support divided evenly. Wei Qian took the opportunity to intervene and helped Jia Lian to the position. If it weren't for the opposition of the ministers, I'm afraid that Wei Qian would have the heart to persuade Situ Yun to move the matter of Cao Yun to the Ministry of Agriculture, and completely cut off the money bags of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry.

The two people hated this lady for taking away their gray gains, and the ministers thought that the rumors in the city certainly did not have a good impression of her. But everyone is not stupid, after all, this lady did not show her feet, and they are not good at taking the initiative to poke it. So I went back and forth about it.

"Since the Great Khan took the initiative to visit the Queen Mother, it is better to ask the Great Khan to leave a handwritten letter on the frontier, so as to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu shouldn't have said anything about this, but when he thought of the harem, Yin Xixiao said: "Why don't I wait now to meet this khan?" ”

Visit now? Isn't that a goof?

Zhu Zhiming frowned: "It stands to reason that the Khan is the lord of the outside world, and he should meet him with royal courtesy when he enters Beijing." But now I am visiting the Queen Mother as a son-in-law, and it has nothing to do with my Imperial Court. "Leave the relationship between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry clean.

"Yes, the Queen Mother summoned her to the palace, although it is not in accordance with the rules, but this is a family matter of the Heavenly Family, and it is inconvenient for me to ask."

"Don't ask? Saibei sent troops, why didn't we ask? The Great Khan must be asked to clarify. ”

"Who, then, is going to meet you? 陛xià is not there. Who is the right person to meet the Khan? Zhu Zhiming asked rhetorically. Let the prince go? Although the khan is a person from outside the Sai, if he uses the identity of the eldest princess and the husband to suppress him, will the prince have to perform the junior courtesy? It's even worse on the face. In what capacity did the ministers go? Do you want to bow or not? What kind of gift is used? Worship the Prince's gift? Or is it the gift of the king of the county?

"It is inconvenient for me and other foreign ministers to interfere in this matter, so why don't we ask the Empress Dowager's opinion?" Jia Lian smiled slightly, as the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, although he is young, he is qualified to participate in this kind of high-level meeting.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry snorted, he and Jia Lian are the most incompatible, the two are too close to each other, how much power has the Ministry of Agriculture taken away from him? However, how Jia Lian dealt with him on weekdays, and how he dealt with Jia Zheng when he turned around.

The prince listened to what a few people said, and ordered the palace people to ask the queen mother.

The Queen Mother gave this matter to Wei Qian, and Ningshou Palace blocked the palace people and ordered them to go to Qingbian Palace.

In the Qingbian Palace, Wei Qian was not in the palace, but he guessed that a courtier would come to ask today, so he had already left a message.

Hongchun personally gave a salute to the East Palace, and when the ministers saw the woman in red coming, they couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Hongchun has the position of a female official, and she is added as a second-grade female scholar, and she is on an equal footing with many officials present, which can be called a model among women.

Zhu Zhiming thought in his heart that his daughter had recently entered the palace as a female official, and when would she be able to get to this point.

However, it is difficult for female officials to be promoted, except for female officials who have served in the palace all their lives, those young girls from families who leave the palace in three years, and the position of being able to mix a female palace is the grace of the palace.

After a brief greeting, Hongchun saluted the prince. "This morning, there was news from the Linzhao Palace, but the sweat and soil were not satisfied and rested in the palace, and it was inconvenient to meet the foreign ministers."

"However, the eldest princess has just returned to the palace and is lonely, if the prince has a heart, why don't you go and see the eldest princess?"

"Auntie, I'll talk about it later." The prince asked Hongchun to go down and said to the ministers: "You have also heard what Concubine Ning said, this handwritten dictate-"

"Let Concubine Ning come." Scholar Mei was reluctant to drag his feet in this matter: "Your Majesty is not here, Concubine Ning is in charge of the Six Palaces, and she should receive the Great Khan." This handbook, Niang Niang will only think of a way. "The person who knows you best is always the enemy, and Mr. Mei guessed exactly right.

At this time, Wei Qian was having a headache with the handbook.

In the Linzhao Palace, Wei Ying and the three of them were all locked up here. Because Wei Qian said hello, Wei Ying and Yihe were treated well, and the Great Khan was not offended.

Early in the morning, Wei Qian entered the palace to find three people to play chess. Now in this game, it is Wei Qian against the Great Khan.

The Great Khan's eyes rolled, but Wei Ying and the others stood aside. The young man had a saber hanging from his waist, and there were guards such as Wang Zheng and Yang Kai next to him, and even Yihe held a dagger in his arms, and everyone was careful to watch out for him, the chief of the Saiwai Fortress.

Khan and Wei Qian sat opposite each other, with chess in front of them. Wei Qian was calm and calm, smiling and playing chess with the Great Khan over tea.

The Great Khan is not stupid, he was kidnapped and put into the palace, and he will never write a handwritten book or anything. "You southern barbarians are fighting with the south, and you still dare to do something to me, so you are not afraid that my 100,000 iron horsemen will crush your Chang'an?" The car crossed the river and prepared the general.

"It's a pity that the Great Khan was no longer there then." Wei Qian sighed faintly: "I heard that the outside of the plug is not stable. In addition to the line of the Great Khan, it seems that there are many heirs? "One blow from the air, forcing the Great Khan to move the veteran.

The Great Khan's face tightened, yes, except for the two grown up sons, his brothers were not fuel-efficient lamps.

"Nonsense, where are we prairie boys so cunning as you!" refuted on the surface, but the confidence was somewhat insufficient.

Wei Qian smiled and said: "After the Khan entered Beijing, the initiative is already in the hands of this palace. Wei Qian ordered a teacup, and Wei Ying stepped forward to add water to her: "Pressed down by the Saibei army?" I heard that you Hu people are fighting among each other, not inferior to us Central Plains people. As long as I make it clear that you are here as a guest, and you are allied with one of the grassland forces, can this battle still be fought? ”

"Cunning Central Plains!"

"Is this cunning?" Wei Qian stretched out his head: "If this palace has a plan, it will send someone to persuade your sons, and tell every adult son that the court is willing to stand on his side, as long as they can ensure peace on the border for ten years." Then pour oil on both sides, let them kill each other, and finally cut you off. ”

"The Northern Governor's internal fighting, naturally there is no longer the strength to confront our Central Plains. Isn't it? Wei Qian took another step to general: "The young wolf will eventually grow up, and the first wolf will always be challenged." I believe that they will help the palace testify that the Great Khan took the initiative to come to our Chang'an. ”

"......" The Great Khan beat a drum in his heart, thinking about which of his subordinates could be trusted. After all these years of business, there should be someone who can trust it, right? Should......

"By the way, how many people do you think this palace has found so far?" Wei Qian lied all over the place, and her face did not change: "Otherwise, why did those friendly teams stay in Saibei?" ”

Yes, since someone can kidnap them in the affinity team, why can't there be a few envoys to ally with their bastard sons?

The Great Khan was suspicious, and his expression gradually became ugly.

Wei Qian patted the Great Khan on the shoulder, not worried about the Great Khan attacking him at all: "The Great Khan is not satisfied, it is better to recuperate with peace of mind." To know. Combining vertical and horizontal, this has always been what we are best at in the Central Plains. ”

This was another hint in the ears of the Great Khan. His face changed dramatically, and he looked at his own food. These people are ready to poison themselves? Then support newcomers from outside the plug?

Wei Qian ignored him and greeted Wei Ying: "Ying'er, my sister hasn't seen me for many days, you come to talk to my sister." After saying that, he took everyone away, leaving the Great Khan alone to think slowly.
