"Do you know that what is the biggest reason why I was made the crown prince by my father at the age of ten?"

Li Wei only said such a sentence, but it made the hundred officials think about it, expecting His Majesty to say a few more words, but His Majesty Xià kept silent, just left the corners of his lips slightly upturned, but there was a hint of a smile that was true or false, which made them more and more convinced, maybe it was because the ten-year-old Majesty Xià had already revealed the imperial mark that year, and this was made the crown prince by the first emperor, otherwise why would the first emperor give up other princes who were not inferior for no reason?

Lu Xiao looked at His Majesty's comfortable posture and nodded in approval: His Majesty really understands the meaning of power.

Li Wei gestured to Duo Neng beside him, Duo Neng understood, and opened his voice-

"Retreat—"

Baiguan was a little stunned, and for the first time, this court meeting had a feeling of "abrupt stop" that was still unfinished.

Li Wei doesn't want to reveal too much information, true or false, as long as it can be passed on to the ears of the anti-thieves to attract their attention, the anti-thieves in the court are still of some use.

Of course, she also needs to reveal this news to calm her mind, and show them that His Majesty the Beichen Kingdom, on which they live, is calm and methodical in this matter, and they just need to believe in her and not add unnecessary chaos to her.

After the next dynasty, several important ministers followed Li Wei into the Chongming Hall to discuss.

Li Wei took out a fold in front of all of them and asked them all to sign it voluntarily.

Guo Zibi stepped forward and took a look: "Life and death? ”

The rest of the courtiers were stunned: their eyes asked what His Majesty was going to do? So strict zhòng?

Li Wei said, "The plan I want to discuss with you today only needs to succeed and not fail. If someone leaks the news or there is a thief, I can't spare you. If you succeed, you will naturally leave a name and record it in your history. I still plan to write it into the "Emperor's Law", you have to treat it well, but don't give it to me, especially Yi Xiaoxian, take care of your mouth. ”

Yi Xiaoxian was embarrassed: I made a mistake once, and the prince and His Majesty remembered it.

Guo Zibi and Lu Xiao stepped forward to fill in their names, and the rest of them also put pen to paper.

Li Wei told the plan of the "Emperor Authenticity Appraisal Meeting", and everyone looked sideways. I also heard Lu Xiao add that Lord Regent had already begun to grasp the military power in the hands of Qi Kaixuan, the god of war in Northern Xinjiang, and the military talisman of General Cheng Pei, and his heart was a lot more settled. I can't help but say that at this moment, Guan Qianyi is like a god in their hearts.

Wei Taifu was puzzled, "However, the old Yusha Department can defeat ten with one enemy, and King Xu was captured, but half of the talismans fell into Li Yuetian's hands, how can this be good?" ”

Lu Xiao looked sideways, his eyes darkened, "The old Yusha Department is now just a group of anti-thieves, can a few thousand people be worth our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?" ”

Guo Zibi shook his head, "The old department of Yusha was originally used by the royal family, and it was an accident to transfer from the hands of the thirteen princesses to King Xu, they can't be classified as anti-thieves, it would be best if they could surrender, but unfortunately they only looked at the soldiers and didn't recognize people." ”

A few people discussed until the afternoon, ate some snacks, and continued to sketch out the plan. Lu Xiao had already left to prepare for the Fake Meeting, and just in time, the secret guard brought news to Li Wei, and Qi Kaixuan had been notified and was waiting for His Majesty's will. Li Wei immediately wrote a reply letter so that the secret guard could convey it.

"How can you prove that the mark on your body is real?" Xiao Liangyi roughly understood the whole plan, but he never understood how to carry out the most critical step.

Li Wei smiled, "I will hide this from you first, and you will all know by then, I still have a trump card yet." ”

Hearing His Majesty's bold words, several henchmen were also relieved.

Lu Xiao felt suspicious, but he didn't ask it in person, and after everyone left, he talked to Li Wei about it alone.

"Majesty, Weichen doesn't want Majesty to attend the verification meeting in person, there will be a lot of people at that time, maybe there will be assassins hiding in it, and the safety of Majesty is better than a qiē."

Li Wei shook her head, "I can't do it if I don't attend." If the Qi family and the Cheng family decide to fight after weighing, they will definitely ask me to attend. Don't worry too much, if there are Assassins, I can still gain a little sympathy from the whole country. ”

"Your Majesty, don't be kidding." Lu Xiao's face was full of nervousness.

"Alright, I know what is important."

"Lord Regent will not allow His Majesty to leave the palace."

Li Wei spread her hands, "He's not here." ”

Lu Xiao was helpless: "Your Majesty." ”

"The details of the execution of this matter, you don't want to report it to the prince." Li Wei knew what he was worried about, but now that Guan Qianyi was dragging around with a body of Gu poison that had not healed, how could she wait in the palace with peace of mind? learned from Cui Lei that his injuries had been aggravated by looking for her, and her heart hurt terribly.

The affairs of the imperial court are always decisive, and she has no time to find a time to go to Xiyi with him. Does the poison in him really matter as he himself said? Why does she always feel terrified?

If the civil war can end, she is the most looking forward to it.

In any case, she must win this battle, and fight a quick victory.

Since Li Wei issued a "please help order" a few days ago, the people of the imperial city have always paid attention to the news of their own majesty, and when they heard that the current majesty is not really of royal blood, they were naturally surprised and couldn't believe it. As the important figures of the Qi family and the Cheng family quietly left the capital, there were rumors that His Majesty had forced the two families to have no way out, and the Qi and Cheng families had no choice but to revolt.

Cheng Guogong's image is that he is loyal to the country and has protégés everywhere, and now the Cheng family is shouting to maintain the orthodox royal bloodline of Beichen, which must not be groundless, so many half-believing people also doubt the authenticity of today's majesty.

I heard that the woman of the Ren family became the granddaughter-in-law of the Qi family, and followed the Qi family to the north to join the Qi family's army.

When the people heard these news, they didn't believe it all, after all, the students in the imperial city held debate meetings every day, and news kept coming from them, and the students tried their best to encourage the imperial court to hold a conference to distinguish the true from the false, so that everyone could see who was the real heir to the royal bloodline.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone only thought that the students were indignant and joking, who knew that someone had reported to the current Lu Shangshu, that is, the former student of Qianlu Academy, Master Lu Xiaolu, and Lord Lu has now reported to the imperial court, and there will be results soon.

The people stayed in front of the imperial city early in the morning, watching the palace gate open and whether there was a herald rushing out, a few days passed, and there was no movement at all, and they couldn't help sighing.

"Let's disperse, how can His Majesty appear in these noisy verification meetings, ridiculous!"

"But Lord Lu said there would be news."

"That's your majesty today, do you think it's just a random student?"

"Not long after the accident, the thief of Li Yuetian has not been caught, and His Majesty will definitely not dare to do this."

"If you can really open the altar, maybe you can see the true face of Your Majesty and the woman of the Ren family, don't you say?"

"Not necessarily, I guess you have to wear a veil."

"It's been a few days, it looks like there won't be any conference, I heard that Xu Zhou is already going to war, do you know? I heard that General Yan Chengxi took his soldiers and horses to meet the God of War. ”

"Is this true?"

"I don't know, the little ones have heard about it, and I don't know where it came from."

There was a man wearing a hat hidden in the crowd, he stood quietly for a while, and was about to turn away, but he heard the sound of the palace door opening in front of him, and after a while, the messenger rode his horse, and more than 20 guards opened the way in front of the imperial list, and the people opened their eyes wide, unwilling to retreat dozens of meters, only waiting for those guards to leave, and swarmed up.

I could only hear those literate people staring at the emperor list and reciting a few words, and the news spread again.

"Haha, Your Majesty is going to attend?"

"True or false? Let me take a look! Let me see! ”

"What are you squeezing, old Liuzi, you don't know a single word, stay and go!"

"Eh, don't push me!"

"Let's go, don't squeeze the kids."

"You have to see it clearly, the list says, you have to find the Qi family and the Cheng family in charge of the work, otherwise who to argue with? By the way, didn't the woman of the Ren family hear about giving alms in the arid Yingjun a few days ago? Isn't the Qi family in Yingjun? ”

"The Qi family is cunning, they must have dispersed, if they all went to Yingjun, His Majesty would have served them early."

"Has Your Majesty issued another order for help now? But we can't help her. ”

Someone in the crowd shouted, and the sound was deafening.

"Your Majesty's move is indeed above board, but if the Qi Cheng family should not fight, it will not be possible."

"Your Majesty has the heart to resolve the civil war, and as soon as the emperor list is released today, the whole country must know it inside and outside, and it is impossible for the Qi family and the Cheng family not to know. If that girl is indeed of royal blood, she should argue. ”

There are also some people who don't believe it, "What if His Majesty finds out the person and secretly kills him?" ”

"Didn't you see clearly that it was stamped with the imperial seal? His Majesty ensured their safety. Besides, if His Majesty showed up in person, what a danger it would be! ”

"What if the Qi family and the Cheng family don't dare to pick it up?"

"There is a ghost in my heart! Otherwise, why don't you dare to fight? ”

"That's not necessarily, after all, this is the imperial city, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the Qi family and the Cheng family will indeed worry about whether there is a return, if something happens, Your Majesty can't tell you by yourself, right?"

"If you want Lao Tzu to say, how much is Your Majesty's army defeated them, and the Lord Regent has a lot of military power in his hands, just start a war, what is the point of making a true and false dialectic?"

"Isn't it? This is to stop the civil war! ”

The people of the whole city were boiling for most of the day, and they all said that the Qi Cheng family was probably deliberately deceitful and made an orphan of the first emperor to seize the throne, and there was news that the girl of the Ren family was actually not the orphan of the first emperor, but the heirs of the Ren family were not abundant, so a girl who was adopted from elsewhere, Ren Jiajia was only looked at because she was beautiful and sensible, so she took it with her and raised it. I heard that Mrs. Qi once met the girl, and the relationship between the two families was good.

One of the more noteworthy is that the Qi family began to move their business from the imperial city a few years ago, and many house deeds were also transferred or mortgaged and sold, focusing on Yingzhou, isn't this a sign of rebellion? And Ren Jiajia has only started to visit the disaster area in recent years, and her good name has accumulated quite strangely.

In any case, the people began to call the Qi Cheng family anti-thieves, because they wanted to start a civil strife, and it was their common people who suffered. And now that His Majesty has thought of a way to stop the civil strife, if the thieves do not agree, they will have no choice but to start a war of resistance.

In the palace, Li Wei looked at the news brought by the secret guard, the letter written by Guan Qianyi, read it word by word, her face did not change much, she folded the paper and burned it in the brazier.

Lu Xiao looked at her, "Your Majesty, how is it?" ”

Li Wei: "The situation in northern Xinjiang is under control, General Qi Kaixuan is negotiating with the Qi family, and it is estimated that they will face us today or tomorrow." How is the Qingji altar arranged? ”

Lu Xiao: "The manpower has been arranged, and the list has been prepared, does Your Majesty need to look at it?" ”

"No need, since the prince said that he wanted to take it, he will definitely take it. The remaining two articles will be published immediately, with an interval of one hour. In addition, let Guo Zibi arrange the children of the academy to watch and dispatch, and the Praetorian Guards were dispatched around the Qingji Altar to prohibit the people from making noise outside the city. ”

Lu Xiao: "Your Majesty, this rebellion has always been the master of the Qi family, and the Cheng family has never received any news. ”

"The Cheng family, I'm afraid I won't get the seat that the family deserves. General Cheng Pei, we have already deployed, and on Dandan's side, I believe that Cui Yan can have a way to control the situation. Li Wei didn't understand why Guan Qianyi suddenly sent Cui Yan to Northern Xinjiang, until Cheng Dandan followed, and now in this situation, Li Wei finally understands the key to this, without Dandan by Cheng Guogong's side, he is equivalent to losing an arm.

"Cheng Zhongjun, this old thing, has closed his eyes and ears for many years, and has been teased by Li Yuetian for many years, this anti-thief heart is ready to move, and he thought that Cheng Pei and his granddaughter were under his control, this time he rashly cooperated with the Qi family to launch a coup d'état, I am afraid that he was not fully prepared, it may be that Li Yuetian caught some trick, and he had to rebel together."

Lu Xiao: "Li Yuetian's identity is not simple. Over the years, he first appeared in our sight as the master of His Highness the Seventeenth, and after the death of the first emperor, he disappeared for a time and became a secret contact between His Highness the Seventeenth and the Cheng family, and after falling out with His Highness, he appeared in the team of the Xiyu Kingdom as Liu Xiangquan's envoy of the Xiyu Kingdom and took away the dragon and snake flower prepared by His Majesty; Now he has become the culprit who seized the old talisman of Yusha, and the change of identity is really weird. ”

Lu Xiao paused, and said with a heavy expression, "The other half of the talismans that have not been collected have been controlled by Li Yuetian, and they have frequently attacked the prefectures and counties of Yangcheng County in the west recently, taking away a large amount of grain. ”

Li Wei's brows were also furrowed, "This person is too difficult, maybe Li Yuetian is also a pseudonym." What puzzled me the most was that the talisman of the old Yusha Department had changed hands twice, from Wei Liqing to the Thirteen Princesses, and then was taken away by the horse and transferred to Li Yuetian. Now the talisman is divided into two, half of it is in our hands, and the other half is still in the hands of Li Yuetian, but why, the old department of Yusha, which has always been only the Yusha talisman, can still be driven by Li Yuetian? He's only got half a talisman, isn't he? ”

Lu Xiao: "No matter how strict the rules of the old Yusha Department are, it is also composed of people, and maybe it doesn't necessarily only recognize military talismans?" ”

Li Wei wondered, "You mean, the generals of the old department recognize Li Yuetian?" (To be continued.) )
