Chapter 152: Premeditation and Simplicity
Liu Yanqing looked a little panicked, and said hesitantly: "This concubine...... Concubine Ben still doesn't know what the talisman looks like, how to steal it? ”
Zhang Meiren's movements paused, and then said with a smile: "Sister, this is a joke, sister, you are so smart, you must have a lot of effort to get the news about the talisman, just see if you want to do it!" After a pause, Zhang Meiren continued: "The later the day gets, the more turbulent the relationship between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court will be, and some ministers of the imperial court regard the Night King as a thorn in their side, and they can't wait to catch him at any time!" ”
"Although this concubine doesn't know what the talisman does, she faintly feels that this thing is definitely not as simple as imagined, otherwise Kong Mingjin would not want to take it, and this will probably threaten the status of the Night King!" Liuyanqing analyzed.
Zhang Meiren looked at Liuyanqing and raised her eyebrows: "The talisman is not as complicated as you think, this talisman is just given by the first emperor to the empty night, the new emperor succeeds to the throne, naturally there is a new talisman, the reason why the emperor wants to take back the previous talisman, it is actually related to his own status." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Liuyanqing asked.
"Concubine Rin, you know, the current emperor's position is not inherited, it was won by the Empress Dowager Hua using tricks, so the jade seals and military talismans left by the first emperor back then have all been replaced with new ones, and announced to the world, because some ministers in the court are not satisfied with Kong Mingjin, so they naturally left the sigil of the first emperor, and wanted to tell the world that this throne was not inherited."
Liuyanqing was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, whether it was inherited from the throne or seized from the history books that he had learned, it didn't seem to have anything to do with the military talisman and the jade seal, could it be that this empty dynasty was different?
"Since Kong Mingjin knows that the ministers who oppose him in the court still keep the things of the first emperor, then according to his temperament, he will naturally cut through the mess quickly, and he will not deal with this matter for such a long time, if these courtiers oppose Kong Mingjin, aren't they afraid that Kong Mingjin will not be able to cure them for the crime of resisting the decree?" Liu Yanqing felt that his analysis was reasonable, and looked at Zhang Meiren proudly.
Zhang Meiren sighed and said lightly: "So the ministers of the court and the central government only have Kong Mingye's talisman left, and now Kong Mingjin is most worried that Kong Mingye has a close connection with Tula State, in case the matter of the first emperor's talisman is revealed, it will definitely make Tula Kingdom feel that Kong Mingjin, the emperor, cannot be trusted, this is a heavy blow to the Wind Spirit Kingdom, in order to prevent this from happening, then the only way to steal Kong Mingye's talisman." ”
"That one night king will definitely not give up if he knows that his talisman has been stolen, and besides, he will not do anything unfavorable to the Wind Spirit Kingdom tomorrow night!" The smoke is cramped and uneasy.
Zhang Meiren smiled and took out a golden carved token from her arms, and shook it in front of Liuyanqing's eyes: "I know that this will make Concubine Rin embarrassed, so the emperor asked me to hand this over to you, you just need to know that the current emperor will never do anything to Kong Mingye, because there are many martial arts gangs in the rivers and lakes who are inclined to Kong Mingye's side, so if the emperor dares to touch a single hair of his hair, it also means that his position is threatened!" ”
These words are indeed not unreasonable, even if there are fewer soldiers around Kong Mingye, then there are rising forces in the rivers and lakes behind him, and the gangs in the rivers and lakes will not lose to the court at all. But listening to Zhang Meiren say this, there is no danger in the sky and tomorrow, and it will not threaten her own forces.
Liu Yanqing took the token handed over by Zhang Meiren, and was attracted by the delicate patterns on it at a glance, with the royal family fauci carved on the front and back, and the word 'Ling' was carved in the middle part, and the red tassels were decorated at the bottom.
"What is this?"
"Of course, it is a military talisman issued by the new emperor to succeed to the throne." Zhang Meiren said with a smile.
Liuyanqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said in surprise: "Could it be that Kong Mingjin means that I can't drop the bag?" ”
Zhang Meiren nodded: "Of course, the emperor just ordered you to steal the talisman, after all, the ministers of the court and the central government are dissatisfied with Kong Mingye, so they want to use the excuse to reduce his power, but now the Wind Spirit Kingdom is facing a battle with the newly rising gangs in the rivers and lakes, which is a great need for the help of Kong Mingye, so the emperor and the queen mother have begun to try to persuade the ministers of the court." ”
"That's great!" Liu Yanqing's doubts were immediately dispelled, he jumped up from the bed happily, held the talisman tightly with both hands and said to himself: "It's really good, he doesn't have to lose the soldiers anymore, and he is still recognized by the ministers in the court, this is a rare opportunity, and he will not lose anything." ”
Liuyanqing stared at Zhang Meiren and said seriously: "Kong Mingjin was originally worried about whether his power would be affected by the first emperor's military talisman, and Kong Mingye only cared about the army he controlled, if I do this, it is just a simple transaction, hmph, this kind of thing, anyone can do it." ”
"But Concubine Rin is the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness the Night King!" Zhang Meiren smiled: "Besides, isn't Concubine Rin in love with him in her heart?" Could it be that Concubine Rin wants to leave this kind of thing to someone else? Ling Xue'er? Concubine? Or Haruto? ”
Liu Yanqing subconsciously shook his head: "Forget it, this concubine will give it a try." ”
Zhang Meiren tidied up her clothes for Liuyanqing in a friendly manner, and said with a smile: "Only success is not allowed to fail, I believe in you, and the emperor hopes that within seven days, I don't know if this period is enough for you." ”
Then the damn Kong Mingye is still wary of himself, I'm afraid it's hard to get close to him. Liuyanqing thought in his heart.
"It seems like a bit of a short time."
"Oh? So according to Concubine Rin, how long will it take? Zhang Meiren frowned.
"Half a month!" Liuyanqing said slowly: "Because the current Night King Bacheng is tired of me, didn't he still summon Concubine Xue to sleep a few days ago?" ”
"Hmph, it turned out that woman took the lead, Concubine Rin, you have to grasp it now, because the man you love deeply may fall in love with someone else!"
Liuyan Qing's eyebrows revealed a melancholy look, and he looked at Zhang Meiren sadly: "Zhang Meiren's meaning really verifies the concubine's guess?" ”
Zhang Meiren nodded: "Didn't Concubine Rin find out?" Now Ling Xue'er is becoming more and more like you, whether it is dress or mentality, even Concubine Rin's most proud tea ceremony and making dim sum have been learned by Ling Xue'er is superb, so Concubine Rin, what do you think you haven't learned by her. ”
Liuyanqing's tightly knit eyebrows suddenly relaxed, carefully thinking about the changes in Lingxue'er these days. It is true that Ling Xue'er has changed a lot in recent days, in the past, she was sinister, and she was the kind of person who could frame the target if she was not careful, so most of the people in the house were afraid of her, but now many people can make jokes unscrupulously in front of her, and they don't care about Ling Xue'er's feelings, Ling Xue'er accepted these things happily, and she also let go of the domineering posture at all.
It's dangerous, it's dangerous to go on like this. Liuyanqing thought anxiously in his heart.
"Presumably, my sister has faintly noticed the changes in Ling Xue'er, so it's not too late, but what makes me curious is how Ling Xue'er learned this, I also specially sent someone to the tearoom to inquire, and there was no master to teach her, but in this short period of time, how did Ling Xue'er learn?"
"Maybe she'll do this before she marries into the Night King's Mansion." Liuyan said lightly.
Zhang Meiren said at this time: "I should go back, I came to see Concubine Rin for no reason, and I was indeed suspicious of being seen by others, and there is a little sister who wants to tell ......Sister Rin" After a pause, Zhang Meiren smiled at the corner of her mouth: "When I passed by Piaojin Garden just now, I accidentally saw the female official of the Night King's Palace taking Ling Xue'er away, Ling Xue'er looked really fresh and refined when she was dressed, like a fairy, it looked like she was going to see His Royal Highness the Night King, otherwise, she wouldn't dress herself so carefully." ”
This news undoubtedly gave Liuyanqing a blow to the head, and the talisman in his hand almost fell, one was unstable, and he almost hit the vanity mirror.
Zhang Meiren glanced at Liuyanqing meaningfully, and then left quietly.
Above the Night King's Palace, the purple curtain was replaced by red, the thin veil was slowly blown by the breeze, and the lazy sunlight reflected on the bluestone floor through the curtain, forming a shadow like flowing water.
"His Royal Highness the Night King announced the summoning of the concubines today, which really surprised the concubines, but I didn't expect His Highness to remember the concubines in his heart." One was wearing a light green skirt, wearing a satin chest wrapped with pearls, white light gauze draped over the body, and the spring light on the chest was looming in front of him, a little frivolous temptation, but also with a hint of shyness.
Kong Mingye held the book in his hand, leaned on the pavilion pillar, and when he saw Ling Xue'er coming, he said lightly: "In a few days, Ling Feiliu is going to visit the Night King's Mansion, and this king wants to know what your brother likes on weekdays?" ”
Ling Xue'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "This is not something that can be said clearly in a few words, why doesn't Your Highness sit down and taste the green tea brewed by the concubine?" ”
Kong Mingye glanced at Ling Xue'er, and then noticed that behind Ling Xue'er was a maid holding a tea set in her hand.
"Who gave you permission to do that!" Kong Mingye said slowly, and his tone did not have too much reproach.
"His Royal Highness the Night King has been tired of court affairs all day, so he should relax." Ling Xue'er gave the maid a look: "Xiaoqing, don't hurry up and wait for His Royal Highness the Night King!" ”
"Yes."
Xiao Qing hurriedly and carefully placed the tea set on the stone table, and then lit the stove next to him. "His Royal Highness the Night King, please~"
Kong Mingye impatiently threw the book to Xiaoqing and sat opposite Ling Xue'er.
Ling Xue'er bent over, fiddling with the tea set in her hand, just facing Kong Mingye, suddenly spring, her fair and beautiful figure was clearly visible under the looming gauze, and the roundness of her shiny chest was uncovered in front of Kong Mingye, she was like a faint tea, she didn't want to drink it, but she had to drink it, like the temptation to wantonly plunder others, and took away Kong Mingye's eyes.
