Looking at his scrutinizing gaze, Song Zhiyuan spoke first and said, "Your Majesty, this matter was provoked by King Shengning. ”

"Oh? King Shengning? He Lianye opened his mouth with some doubts, how could this matter be involved with King Shengning?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Song Zhiyuan presented the urgent letter from the border pass, and then continued: "I heard that King Shengning has always been arrogant among the three kings and often ignores discipline. This time, he robbed the princess of the Outer Mongolian royal family and defiled it. This led to revenge and seek trouble. ”

Song Zhiyuan's words are clear-sighted, every word and sentence is reasonable, and it is impossible to find any loopholes. If He didn't know King Shengning overnight, I am afraid that he would also be provoked and angry, and he would be punished!

It's a pity that this King of Shengning, he knows very well.

When Wuliangha was established at the beginning, the first emperor had a lot of considerations. In the end, it was decided to let the three kings go to station, not only because of their strong army, but also because only they could contain each other.

King Muning and King Shouning are compatriots of the same mother, and they have always been friendly in relationship, coupled with courage and resourcefulness, they can be described as rare talents.

If it weren't for the first emperor and queen, he would be both the son and the eldest son, and he would also be both talented and intelligent...... Otherwise, there is still a lot of controversy about who will take the throne.

And the king of Shengning is different from them.

He has no mother since he was a child, and the emperor remembered that he was young, so he raised him and the first emperor by the queen's side. Because of his arrogant temperament and strong force, few princes in the palace can play with him.

For so many years, only the first emperor regarded him as his own brother.

Therefore, before the first emperor died of illness, Zeng Qian told him that he could not doubt the loyalty of King Shengning no matter what. He bluntly said that if even King Shengning can't be trusted, then there will be no one in the world who he can trust.

Helian held his chin and thought quietly. Although he has never met this imperial uncle a few times, he has heard many of his deeds since he was a child, and there is also the last order of the first emperor, so he will not doubt him.

However, King Sheng Ning is indeed arrogant and arrogant, and whoever he does not look down on, no matter who it is, will not befriend him. This is also the reason why he has a bad relationship with the other two princes.

"You said that King Shengning defiled the princess of Outer Mongolia?"

Helianye's tone was not impatient, but slowly began to calm down. Song Zhiyuan wanted to figure out his thoughts, but at present, he was a little unsure. I had to do what I thought before, and replied, "Yes." ”

"The princess of Outer Mongolia was originally the third prince who was going to be married to them, but who would have thought that she would be taken by King Shengning. Moreover, the princess disappeared on the wedding night, and when she was found, she was already lying on the prince's bed in rags......"

In the next words, Song Zhiyuan did not continue. But Helian was able to guess what was going to happen.

was kidnapped on their wedding night, and their innocence was tarnished. Not to mention a princess, even if it is a woman from an ordinary family, she will be humiliated. From this point of view, King Sheng Ning did make a big mistake this time.

"What happened to the princess?"

As if he didn't expect him to ask this, Song Zhiyuan's face was stunned, but then he quickly reacted, "The princess was too frightened and committed suicide that day." ”

Hearing this result, there was no surprise on Helianye's face, as if he had expected such a result. He quietly probed Song Zhiyuan, and when he saw that the other party was still so calm, his eyes became more and more gloomy.

"So, what does General Song think?"

Since he entered the palace late at night, it means that in Song Zhiyuan's heart, he has already thought of a way to deal with this matter. I just don't know, will what he thinks and what he thinks the same as what he thinks?

He looked at him all night, and he was rarely a little interested.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that since this matter is the fault of King Shengning, it should be borne by the prince alone. is reasonable and reasonable, and should give an explanation to Outer Mongolia. And at this time, Daqing is the time to recuperate, and it really shouldn't be a big deal for this trivial matter. ”

Listening to his words, Helian sneered in his heart. A good one is reasonable, a good one to recuperate!

I think the person who proposed to attack Outer Mongolia at the beginning was not General Song Zhiyuan in front of him?!

Although he sneered at this in his heart, Helian still maintained the indifference on his face overnight. He didn't answer Song Zhiyuan's words, but turned to Li Qingran, who had been silent, and said, "Li Qingjia, what do you think?" ”

Being pointed out made Li Qingran a little surprised, but he thought for a moment, and then said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that although this matter seems to be conclusive, it is only a one-sided statement of Outer Mongolia after all. When the matter is still unclear, it should not be rash. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Zhiyuan next to him opened his mouth contemptuously and said, "Don't you act rashly? According to Lord Li's intentions, do you have to wait until after the two armies start a war before you come to apologize? ”

It seemed that he didn't expect Song Zhiyuan to be so aggressive, and Li Qingran's face was a little uncomfortable. But he still insisted on his own point of view, and slowly explained: "Weichen just thinks that the prince has a heavy army and is stationed at the border pass, so what is at stake in the end." If you only rely on the words of Outer Mongolia, you will be convicted, which is a bit sloppy. ”

He looked at Helian Ye and said straightly: "The minister thinks that he should immediately send someone to Wuliang Hache to investigate this matter, and when the time comes, it will not be too late to give an explanation to Outer Mongolia." I believe that it is only a few days, and they still have to wait. ”

After he finished speaking, Song Zhiyuan didn't refute this time, but just snorted coldly, obviously quite dissatisfied.

He Lian looked at the two of them overnight, and the light in his eyes flashed. So, he said lazily: "Since this is the case, let Master Li be responsible for this matter." I will give you seven days, and after seven days, if you can't give an explanation, you will be guilty of the same crime as King Shengning! ”

Undeterred by the threat in his will, Li Qingran just replied respectfully, "Minister's order!" ”

The attitude of neither humility nor arrogance made Helian appreciate it very much. Before he left, he said with a rare opening: "Then I will wait for the good news of Lord Li!" ”

After the two of them left the Heart Cultivation Palace, Li Qingran was not in a hurry to go back, but walked slowly, thinking carefully about the matter in his mind again.

And at this moment, Song Zhiyuan, who came out of the back foot, blocked him viciously, opened his mouth unceremoniously, and asked, "Li Qingran, what do you mean?" ”

Just now, he was obviously a little closer, and he was able to push King Shengning out. But this Li Qingran came out to make trouble, saying that he wanted to "find out the truth". God knows, in seven days, how many more things will happen!

"General Song, what do you mean?"

Looking at him puzzled, Li Qingran didn't seem to understand where Song Zhiyuan's hostility came from. However, he didn't need to figure it out, because in the next second, Song Zhiyuan had already clearly told him.

"Li Qingran, don't think that if you become the secretary of the military department, you can do whatever you want! Don't you like to look it up? I'd like to see what you can find in King Shengning! ”

Throwing off this sentence, Song Zhiyuan left angrily. And Li Qingran still maintained that ignorant appearance, but when he looked up, there was a little more indifference in his eyes.

"Well, then, I'll show you."
