Chapter 404: The Cruel Truth

"General Hua is right, it should be said that he has handled it very well."

After listening to Hemulan's description, Yuan Poqiang and the other envoys expressed their appreciation.

The biggest trouble of the Wei mission now is the lack of the main envoy. After all, the deputy envoy He Mulan is a military official, and he is not familiar with these diplomatic affairs, which is a great flaw and can be easily used by Bei Liang.

So for so many days, all the envoys ate and took what they ate, and when they really wanted to make a statement, they kicked the ball to Hemulan.

"Oh, I can't be the master of this......"

"I'll ask General Hua ...... when I go back."

And although He Mulan is not a person with long sleeves, he is also cautious not like a young man of this age, and the officials of Beiliang do not have any clear guarantees on him at all.

This time is also true.

It seems that he promised something, but in fact, he didn't promise anything.

The initiative is still in the hands of the Wei people.

"I don't know what Queen Meng will do next." Liu Zhen opened his mouth and said, "The Meng family's forces are mostly in the army, so they will not mutiny, right?"

He Mulan already knew from Zheng Zong that Liu Zhen was nominally a clerk, but in fact he was a high-ranking Egret official, and I am afraid that he had been monitoring the movements of the mission personnel all the way, and he had already gone to Pingcheng through his own channels.

It's no wonder that Su Hejun can know so many things, I'm afraid it has something to do with this egret official.

None of the people in the mission knew that this usually low-key clerical officer was an egret official, and if he knew, he would probably not be so ruthless in eating and taking things these days.

However, He Mulan didn't think to remind him that with such an egret official, many things became easy.

She didn't believe that Su Hejun hadn't planted spies in Beiliang. Even Pingcheng has spies from Beiliang, and there is no reason why the world-famous intelligence system of Wei has no one in Beiliang.

"There will be no mutiny." Yuan Poqiang shook his head, "The Meng family can be respected because they don't take power, they are not presumptuous, if they force the palace to mutiny, no one will support Fuqu Bodhi. Queen Meng probably has some way of her own to make Fuqu Muqian unlucky. Don't underestimate these harem women, especially the lioness who protects her cubs like Queen Meng."

"We'd better get the wedding done first." An official of the Wei delegation shook his head. These internal affairs are no longer something we can interfere in, and when the time comes, we can add fuel to the fire, but we still can't do things on the surface."

"The key is to welcome Princess Xingping back, otherwise it will really force them, maybe they will tear their faces and start a war, and stabilizing them first is the key."

Liu Zhen came to a conclusion.

"If there's anything wrong with Princess Xingping...... He Mulan didn't reveal the fact that Princess Xingping might have a loss of virtue, but just changed it to an ambiguous statement.

"Is there a way to replace the personal choice?"

"Are you saying that Princess Xingping will secretly assassinate His Majesty?"

Several envoys looked at each other and spoke in shock.

"Did the general hear anything from Queen Meng?"

Yuan Poqiang glanced at He Mulan unexpectedly, probably thinking that it was very strange that she had not come to a conclusion about Princess Xingping's character and danger until now.

He Mulan didn't want to embarrass Princess Xingping in her heart, although this princess was not a good match, but it was her own private matter that she was originally uninhibited in Beiliang, and it was Beiliang's decision to sacrifice her safety for the peace of a country to go to Pingcheng, not hers.

As long as she doesn't have any malicious intentions, at most she will live in the cold palace of Wei for the rest of her life, and she will be an innocent victim.

But now that everyone asked, He Mullan couldn't say it clearly. Because there was no formal alliance with Queen Meng, He Mulan did not ask the Meng family to prove that Princess Xingping was not suitable for peace.

For Bei Liang, from top to bottom, it is hoped that Hehe can succeed, and Queen Meng is afraid that he will not be willing to tear his face between Wei and Bei Liang and lead the war in advance.

"It's not Queen Meng, it's just that I heard some bad rumors outside, and I ...... in private morality"

The envoys breathed a sigh of relief and said disapprerovitically: "The matter of the Beiliang royal family's belief in the demon monk has not been spread for a day or two, we have heard about it in Pingcheng, this matter was originally Beiliang Ba us, if there is anything wrong with Princess Xingping, it is very easy for her to return to Beijing after she is not satisfied with the water and soil 'violent death' or homesickness 'depressed'. It's not a big deal."

has been entangled in the problems of Hermulan for a long time, but in the mouths of these envoys, it is so "relaxed and casual".

The life and death of a princess is just a tool to adapt to the needs of the Wei State. Because Bei Liang is not as good as Wei now, as long as Tuoba Tao says a word, she will become a princess who "dies of illness", and even a bubble will remain.

He Mullan suddenly realized.

Why do so many princesses who are close to each other die early, are they really frail and sickly? No matter how difficult the environment is, next to the nobles who can ascend to the throne or the throne, how difficult can the environment be?

I'm afraid most of them are because of one reason or another, and they end up "depressed".

"However, Xingping Gong mainly has bad deeds, but it is a good reason to go to war, we can inquire more." After discussing with several envoys, he offered advice to He Mulan: "The situation is not clear at present, it is best not to startle the snake, we will inquire more and then make a conclusion."

The arrival of Meng Yulong provided a new possibility for the Wei state, and on the side of Fuqu Muqian, the Meng family was quickly contacted by the Wei state from officials loyal to him. [,! Messenger's message.

In other words, Queen Meng really started declaring war on him.

In fact, Fuqu Muqian did not want to confront Queen Meng at all, he also received a lot of care from this queen when he was a child, and like the other princes, they were jealous and envious that the two brothers had such a powerful and dashing mother, who could do many things that their mother could not do.

However, they always have to leave the palace, and the warmth of childhood is soon forgotten by interests.

He was born smart, never forget, every Hanchen praised him for his talent to become a "virtuous king", but he was not convinced, he wanted to be a "virtuous king", but this "virtuous king" was not his "virtuous king", he wanted to be a real king.

He knew that many people felt that the eldest prince and the second prince were plotted to die by him, because he would be the one who would get the most benefit in the end. But only he knows that it was not him who made this qiē, but the current situation.

The eldest prince was inclined to Hanchen and wanted to govern the country with the law of the Han family, so Buddhism made a move. Almost all of the nobles of Rouran believe in Buddhism, with them matchmaking, Rouran wants to get supplies, and it is normal for the eldest prince to die in a plot.

It was precisely because of the death of his eldest brother that he trembled at the power of Buddhism, and since then, he has made friends with great Confucian celebrities while expressing his devout belief in Buddhism, digging Buddhist caves in Dunhuang and Tiantai Mountain, and carefully not offending this group of uncrowned kings.

Faith is so terrible that a few words from a monk can make his father's most loyal subordinates turn against the "Buddha" for the sake of the "Buddha", let alone affect the position of the courtiers.

It was his attitude that caught the attention of those people, and the two parties began to contact, to cooperate.

By the time the second brother died, he had no choice.

Everyone thinks that Song Miao did it, but no one shows that there are many monks and officials in the logistics supply team. These people are monks and doctors to prevent epidemics in the army, and they are also to appease possible prisoners, which has always been a characteristic of the Beiliang army.

The two royal brothers are dead, and he has been swept to the cusp of the storm, and can only be dragged forward.

As long as he can ascend to the throne and become what they call the "Heavenly King", they will use all their strength to contribute the countries of the Western Regions to him.

Gao Chang, Shanshan, Loulan......

Even if Wei sent troops to attack Beiliang, he still had many options.

He is also the King of Heaven, the King of the Western Regions. As long as Buddhism is not extinguished, there will be remnants of Beiliang who will continue to rebel, revolt, and rebel......

Until he recaptured Bei Liang again.

No one can shake the edge of Wei head-on, even Buddhism is impossible, this is the best result after their several deductions, even if one day Wei really sends troops, they are not without the possibility of survival.

His father doesn't understand, the eldest brother doesn't understand, and the second brother doesn't understand, they will only desperately want to keep the territory of Beiliang, but they haven't thought that there is another trick called "retreating as advance".

But before that, he must be the son of the world, the king of Liang, the king of heaven, and then everyone can convince him and obey his orders.

He didn't want to be an enemy of Queen Meng, because there was no unsolvable hatred between this woman and him, and at best, he didn't tell her the purpose of the Buddha's door.

He didn't believe that she didn't know who was behind it, and his father changed the name of the younger brother to "Bodhi", which was already a gesture of goodwill to Buddhism and the protection of the younger brother.

If she doesn't make a move, he will definitely not embarrass the little brother.

But why......

Frustrated Muqian looked up at his mother-in-law in front of him, and said unwillingly: "Why are you here!"

Queen Meng, who led the palace guards, was still imposing.

On a face that is a little hard for a woman, there is no expression of mockery, anger or hatred, only absolute calm.

It was precisely because of this calm that the heart of the frustrated Muqian sank.

She's already ignored a single qiē.

The love and respect of her husband, the life or death of the country, the honor and prestige of the royal family, and even the fate of herself, she no longer cares about it.

The naked Fuqu Mu Qianse shrank for a moment, and looked at the big Li Shi, who was also unclothed and crying bitterly.

"You...... You've calculated me, haven't you? I said why you have been sending me messages so often these days to see me, and you are so enthusiastic when you see me......"

Da Li didn't say anything, just lowered his head and cried, crying tactfully and listening, and even with a smell, just like countless times she was under him, pinched by the vital point on her body, and sobbed softly and softly.

In the past, when he heard such a voice, he only felt that his whole body was hot, but now when he listens to it, he only feels indescribably irritable.

"Don't cry anymore!"

"You men, you only know how to show off your might in women." Queen Meng finally showed her first expression of the day, and it was a touch of grief.

"You don't have to ask, you just need to know that you planted it today."

"Queen, I ask myself how respectful ...... you"

"And then, are you going to insult your eldest brother's widow?"

Queen Meng looked at Fuqu Muqian with a cold gaze, "In this palace, no one is clean. Whether it's you, or the king, what's the use of being respectful to me, what I need is never respectful."

The queen, who is over fifty years old, wears a phoenix robe, just like when she wore a battle robe.

"After the palace people's example, the third prince was frustrated and the eldest princess Li fornicated/adultered. As the queen, the palace shall not tolerate fornication/disorder in the palace. Send the third prince to the inner palace to listen to the clan ......". [,! ]

She glanced at the eldest princess Li.

Da Li shivered for a moment, but still looked at the queen with expectant eyes.

"The Great Li Clan is temporarily detained in the East Palace, and no one is allowed to enter without my order."

"Yes, Queen!"

Frustrated Muqian sat on the couch dejectedly, he didn't want to make a big fuss and run away, but he knew that he was not the opponent of Queen Meng and the guards from the Meng family behind her.

The clan supports Bodhi as the son, and once he falls into the hands of the inner government, it is conceivable how the clan will exaggerate his affairs.

"I really pity you, there is such a princess as Li Jingai, who is peerless in and out of the world, but she just made such a deed......"

Queen Meng shook her head.

"But you can also be regarded as evil and evil, as soon as the news of your adultery with the Da Li clan comes out, those remnants of Nanliang will be the first to turn against you. You should think about how to deal with Li Jingai's brothers, instead of thinking about whether it is useful to be respectful to me now."

She waved her hand, and the frustrated herd was dragged down like a dead pig.

Queen Meng tasted a long-lost victory.

Just like when she overcame all obstacles and followed the frustration of Meng Xun to the east and west.

Although he had a hard time at that time, he was struggling in precariousness every day, but it was far better than being trapped in the harem like this, struggling every day to maintain the image of the queen and the reputation of Beiliang.

Why didn't she figure it out until now?

That's when she should have reached out......

"Li, when my son died in Rouran, I asked you if you would like to leave the palace, I will send you back to your parents' house, continue to treat you like a clan, and even allow you to remarry......"

Queen Meng leaned down and lifted her face.

"You don't want to leave the palace, you leave this glory and riches, I ask you now, do you regret it?"

Da Li looked at this husband-like face, as if he was being asked by the deceased husband with his chin in his hands, and for a while he stopped sobbing and looked at his mother-in-law in a daze.

"Why do you want to die......

She muttered to herself.

"You promised me that you wouldn't die before me......"

"Lee!"

"You promised I wouldn't die!!!"

Big Lee screamed hysterically.

Queen Meng didn't know how her words made the Da Li family fall into madness, in fact, her daughter-in-law sent her a letter and was willing to help her set up this situation, which was already very unexpected for her.

After all, from the moment she seduced her husband, she had already treated her as an irrelevant outsider and would never feel sorry for her again.

She gave her the choice.

"That's it, for your ...... for me"

"Politics and virtue are killed by the king."

Da Li suddenly covered his face.

"Mother, Zhengde was killed by the king!"

"What!"

Queen Meng was about to comfort the Li family that she would not kill her, when she heard the news, she immediately took a few steps back, and the calm on her face suddenly became panicked.

"Zhengde intends to make friends with the Wei State, unite against the Xia State, and divide the territory of the Xia State, but the king hopes to unite the Xia State to resist the Wei State, and the two have disagreed politically, in fact, they have quarreled countless times. Once, Zhengde came back in despair, saying that the king reprimanded him, and if he had the idea of getting close to Wei again, let him die, and just a month after that incident, Rouran invaded, and the king sent Zhengde to resist the Rouran cavalry, and he had an accident......"

Big Lee wiped his tears.

"When the king was sleeping at my place, he used to talk in his sleep, and he said, 'Don't blame me, and I don't want you to die,'......"

When Queen Meng listened to her daughter-in-law's cry, she only felt that the heavens and the earth were in chaos, like a huge hammer falling from the sky, striking her vigorously to hammer her to the ground.

Hammer it! Hammer it!

Better hammer me to the underground! Go and ask the truth about political morality and rejuvenation of the country!

Did Big Lee lie?

Is Frustrated Muqian the real murderer?

Queen Meng looked at the Li family, who was already crying, in despair.

She still remembered the scene when this woman was led in front of her by Frustrated Qu Zhengde and excitedly said that she was going to marry her.

At that time, was she so bewitching?

When did it start?

My baby......

My children, how did they die?

What a sin this is!
