Chapter 7: The Regent's Suspicions
"Impossible!" His hands tightened again.
Li Wei was about to lose her breath now, so she hurriedly grabbed him with her hand and couldn't move it, so she held her breath, her face turned red, and motioned him to let go.
"This king didn't use his strength, you'd better make a voice while you can still speak!"
"You," Li Wei suddenly felt so wronged, and tears instantly appeared in her eyes, "You bold thief!" I'm going to punish you nine clans! Wow...... Wow......" she burst into tears.
The trick worked, and the man let go of her delicate neck.
Li Wei still cried loudly, and her voice pierced inside and outside the hall.
The regent tried to stop it, but it was too late.
Outside the main hall, Gonggong Xie heard the voice, ordered the guards to open the door, and looked up a little dumbfounded, the two of them sat upright, this is not a big deal, why did Your Majesty cry so sadly? He withdrew his guards and walked in on his own.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with this, Your Majesty?"
The regent was still calm, "It's okay, it's just sad to think about the first emperor back then." ā
His Majesty never wails loudly when he is sad, and Gonggong Xie has seen that when the first emperor said that he would issue an edict to order Yuan Guifei to be martyred, he was so sad that he only cried in a low voice. Looking at the looks of the two now, how do you feel that something is wrong? Gonggong Xie had doubts in his heart, but seeing that Li Wei didn't speak, he didn't say much and withdrew.
"If you need to, shout, the old minister is waiting outside." For the sake of prudence, Gonggong Xie told the emperor. He knew very well who the regent was, and if His Majesty was bullied, how could he give up.
After Gong Xie closed the door, Li Wei was sad, the wailing had gradually stopped, her eyes were a little red, and there was a trace of stubbornness on her fourteen-year-old immature face, "Why didn't you expose me?" He didn't say it at the time, Li Wei naturally wouldn't have anything to do, but now seeing that his expression had turned into a big ice cube again, she was still uneasy, shaking her wide sleeves, and she covered her face.
He looked at her hidden face, and there was a little more thought in his eyes, "Beichen Kingdom needs an imperial daughter. ā
Li Wei knew that she had picked up a life, but her face was still disdainful, but she was relieved in her heart. Wiping away his tears, he finally slowly opened his sleeves.
"Let me believe your word first,"
If you don't believe you, it's okay! Li Wei muttered in a low voice, and when she saw a sharp look sweeping over her, she quickly shut up.
"Don't reveal your true nature today in front of others, if it is known by someone with a heart, this king will not be able to protect you!" He threatened softly, and when he saw that she didn't answer, he glared angrily, "Do you know? ā
Li Wei was embarrassed, "Won't I be an emperor?" I want to be an ordinary person! ā
"Unless you find someone else who is more suitable to be your majesty!"
"But if I keep going like this, sooner or later I'll be in trouble!" Li Wei grunted and rolled her eyes, spreading her hands.
"Temperament can be changed!"
"I can't change it!"
āā¦ā¦ Your appearance in the court today is good, and ordinary people can't find it. ā
"But you found out, so the regent is from the second class?"
Li Wei suddenly said a cold joke.
Regent:......
Li Wei noticed that the corners of his mouth twitched, indicating that he understood the joke's joke. She nodded secretly, this person must be a ** black-bellied. The ice cube face will be in the territory after a long time. This is easy to do, a serious ruler like him on the surface, his heart is actually full of lively fantasies about the world, although there are too many defenses and resistance to the people he comes into contact with, but he should be more tolerant of those who do not play according to the rules.
Realizing that his analysis made sense, Li Wei laughed to herself, and was suddenly swept by his gaze again, so she had to pretend to dodge as if nothing happened.
"This king is indeed not an ordinary person, and you will deeply understand this fact in the future."
Sure enough, this person's belly is extremely black!
Li Wei nodded inwardly and praised herself! If the personality is analyzed correctly, she will have a solution.
She smiled suddenly, and the sly smile made the man a little more wary, and looked at her inexplicably.
"Now, since everyone has reached a consensus, let's be open and honest and sign an agreement, shall we?" She feels that now her identity is high-end, since he needs to be the emperor himself, then he is extremely useful, and it is time to talk about the conditions.
The man glanced at her, a flash of disdain.
"Why doesn't this king remember what consensus was reached?"
"Hey, don't bring this, you need me to be the emperor's daughter, I have to ask for something in return? I can't be an imperial lady for the rest of my life, right? Let's have a gentleman's agreement! ā
"Do you have any other choice but to obey now?"
Li Wei: ......
It seems that she has made a move, but I saw that her nose was sore, and tears came as soon as she said it, so she looked at him fixedly, without flinching, and said while crying, "You are a bully clause, illegal employment of child labor, this is to be arrested and imprisoned by the police uncle in our world, but you are not only illegally employed, you are also imprisoned, you also use my child labor for profit, you still let me listen to your words and be the emperor's daughter, but I didn't sign a contract, not even a salary, that is, what you said, I was penniless, Now that you have been deprived of your freedom, and you still have to work every day as a cow or a horse as a coolie, you still have no humanity ......"
Before he finished speaking, he casually pointed his hand towards her shoulder and neck, and her voice and movements stopped abruptly.
It's a bear grandmother, and this person actually has the legendary point!
Guan Qianyi really didn't have a problem with her crying trick, her expression was seven points helpless and three points embarrassed, looking at her teary eyes, crying like this and telling a lot of truths, he had to let her quiet down first, "If you don't cry or make trouble, this king will let you go." ā
Li Wei nodded, seeing that he reached out and put a little bit on her shoulder and neck, she suddenly felt free, so she picked up her sleeve and wiped away her tears, feeling quite magical about his acupoints in her heart.
Maybe you can steal a trick or two in the future? Li Wei shamelessly planned.
"This king can pay you every month, and the rest is not to be discussed!"
"How much is a month?"
"How much do you want?"
Li Wei stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of his eyes. But he didn't speak.
"How do I know if you don't say so?" Guan Qianyi seems to be deliberately opposed.
Her mouth flattened, "You bully me for not understanding the currency of this world!" "I'm going to cry again.
Guan Qianyi's head is a little big, this little girl is really difficult to deal with, "Fifty taels of silver a month." ā
Fifty taels? Why does it feel so small?
"Fifty taels of silver, how long is enough for an ordinary farmer to live?" Li Wei naturally wouldn't be so stupid and agreed all at once, she was shrewd.
"For a family of three or five, there is more than enough food and clothing for a year."
Li Wei understood, so she nodded, "Okay, then fifty taels." However, when I first arrived, I was penniless, and you had to advance my first month's money. "Hold out your hand.
Guan Qianyi seemed to hate iron and steel, "You are now the emperor!" "How can an imperial daughter ask for silver so shamelessly!
"No, you're my boss now! You don't think I'm the emperor! Give the money quickly! I don't feel at ease when I don't have money! I don't have money and I have no motivation to do things, I love to sleep lazy, and I can't think of a way to do some political things without motivation, and I can't go to court! ā
Guan Qianyi looked up at the ceiling, he seemed to have found a rich slave to be the emperor's daughter!
"That's not right!" Li Wei suddenly shouted, her face full of excitement, "Am I, the king of a country, still short of silver?!" I'm Majesty, but I'm paid, right? ā
Guan Qianyi cruelly reminded her, "Your Majesty is not a good one!" ā
"It doesn't make sense! I'm the hardest guy in the world, why don't I have a good fortune? ā
"The palace expenses are spent from the treasury every year, Your Majesty has no shortage of food and clothing, how can there be a fortune?" After Guan Qianyi finished speaking, seeing that her eyes began to roll again, she immediately warned, "From now on, put away your crooked thoughts, and if this king finds out that you are seeking improper things during your reign, he will immediately make you disappear." ā
Li Wei: ......!!
"And what if someone else wants to bribe me?" She asked weakly.
"This king promises that no courtier will dare to do this!"
"So, what if I earned it myself?"
Guan Qianyi's thoughts couldn't help but follow her, "If you can earn it yourself, keep it yourself." But the earning method must be justified. ā
Li Wei smiled at this time.
Suddenly seeing her smiling appearance, Guan Qianyi suddenly realized that she unconsciously agreed to some of her ideas. Who knows what she will do to "make money"! It seemed to feel like she was being led away, and she was like a victor with a triumphant smile. Realizing this, his face turned bad.
"Hee-hee, we still have a consensus! Come, get to know me," Li Wei smiled and stretched out her right hand, "Hello, my name is Li Wei, Li of Muzi Li, and Wei of Rose!" Nice to meet you. Seeing that he didn't move, looking at his hands, Li Wei added, "This is the meeting etiquette of our world." ā
"Men and women are not kissed, but they are still exempted. Here you have to abide by the etiquette of the North Star Kingdom. Guan Qianyi didn't buy it, but he still reported his name, "This king, Guan Qianyi, is the regent of Beichen Kingdom." ā
The corners of Li Wei's mouth twitched, this person's self-introduction was too domineering, which made her unhappy, "Holding hands is considered a kiss or not?" Then many people meet and kiss each other! ā
The regent seemed a little annoyed, "Shameless! As if he didn't want to continue the conversation with her, he decided to end the increasingly unpleasant conversation early, "Tomorrow morning, don't be late!" ā
After saying this, he strode away.
Li Wei said to his back, "The regent walks slowly!" ā
He suddenly stopped and glanced back at her: "This king warns you, pay attention to the demeanor of an imperial daughter!" ā
Li Wei stood upright, smiled, and beckoned to him, "Regent, please go slowly." "Well-behaved with a woman's unique Anna.
Guan Qianyi shook his head and strode out of the door, he understood at this moment, why some people would show their powerlessness to look at the sky, and when they met a woman like her, he really wanted to look at the sky and sigh all the time.
Li Wei is really smiling from the bottom of her heart at this moment.
She felt that she had finally found someone to talk to. After confessing his origins, his body and mind seem to be much more relaxed, and he feels that he is on the side of such a powerful regent, and it seems to be quite safe?
Anyway, she can get a good night's sleep tonight.
Out of the hall, it was already a starry sky.
Gonggong Xie floated dust in one hand and led her to her residence, Changle Palace. The corridors along the way were full of lanterns, making Li Wei feel that the floating dust world seemed to be hidden in the misty light along the way.
"Gonggong Xie doesn't have to wait outside the hall in the future, it's too late to rest, it's not good for your health."
"The old minister is still strong, so your majesty doesn't have to worry."
"It's not that you're not fit, just take care of your rest. In the future, it would be good if the priest next to you could stay and serve, I think he is quite clever. ā
"That kid is the old minister's hand, and it is the honor of the old minister to be able to see it."
After a while, she had arrived at the gate of Changle Palace, and Mama Bi was already waiting outside the palace gate.
"Or do you know how to be considerate." What a feeling of waiting for the children to return home on this big night!
"There's Father-in-law Raucie!" Mama Bi thanked her with a smile, and Gonggong Xie shook his head and said goodbye.
Mama Bi followed behind Li Wei, took off the imperial crown for her, took off the outer robe of her clothes, and hung it aside, seeing that she stretched her waist and walked to the washing pavilion in her middle coat, she couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty is hungry, do you want to eat something first and then freshen up?" ā
Li Wei is used to not eating at night, so she waved her hand and said no.
The washing pavilion has prepared hot water, the two palace maids are standing on the side with bath supplies, Li Wei waved them all out, and then glanced into the barrel, there are no petals? There was some similar artificial soap next to it, Li Wei grabbed a small piece and smelled it, well, the aroma still smells good.
took off her clothes and immersed herself in the water, Li Wei grabbed her chest with both hands, her face was a little weird, she thought that this body was not too small at the age of fourteen, why was her chest so flat? She glanced around, and there were only a few palace maids outside the veil, so she consciously massaged herself, and felt a little lustful for Mao.
After taking a bath, Li Wei still refused to be served by the palace maid, took a dry towel to dry it, and dressed herself.
Before falling asleep, Li Wei calculated the time when she fell asleep, it should not be 10 o'clock in the evening, and she slept so early, she was really physically and mentally healthy!
When I got up early the next morning, I was really better than yesterday and the day before, and I was in good spirits.
The early dynasty is still those things, standing for a morning, the ministers are very tired, and they can't wait to repair the dynasty early. When the war in northern Xinjiang is on the agenda, the key is who to send.
After some fruitless arguments, Li Wei finally felt that there were too few talents in Beichen.
Later, Taishi sent someone to speak, mentioning yƬ and asking his grandson, that is, Li Wei's cousin who Li Wei had met that day, Qi Jincheng to give it a try. Li Wei naturally knew that Qi Taishi was going to promote Qi Jincheng, if he could succeed, not to mention the meritorious service, he could still hold heavy troops and become a general of the imperial court with Qi Chengyuan, such a big threat to the imperial court, Li Wei knew very well.
The regent faction immediately raised objections, saying that although Qi Jincheng was the commander of the guards and infantry troops from the second grade, when it came to actual combat experience, he was afraid that he could not compare with the commanders of the guards and horse troops.
Sending a handsome or sending a horse? It became a point of contention in the court.
Li Wei waved her hand and directly asked the two of them to compete.
When Ma Shuai came out of the hundred officials, Li Wei recognized it, isn't this person Cui Yan? This meeting made her feel a little surprised, and her heart naturally favored Cui Yan.
Cui Ma Shuai and Qi Bushhuai compared outside the hall, the former was slightly better, and I heard that other regency officials added that Cui Ma Shuai can not only penetrate the Yang in a hundred steps, but also be good at fighting in tortuous terrain and places, although he was born recklessly, he is upright and loyal, and his martial arts are extraordinary!
The last sentence summarizes that Cui Mashuai is a general invited by the regent from the rivers and lakes.
Li Wei nodded understandingly, the regent was really bold in employing people.
Although Taifu Wei and Taishi Qi were not in a good mood and face, this was a fair competition, and no one else could say anything! Li Wei happily made an order, this is a talent she also admires.
After the next dynasty, Xiao Liangyi, the secretary of the criminal department, still left, he wrote down all the evidence ascertained, and then told her another piece of news: After careful interrogation in the Qinglou, he finally knew that the adopted daughter Xiao Yunqing was the daughter of the Yang family for three years, because the Yang family was involved in the corruption case between the DPRK and China, and was pushed out and beheaded, but Xiao Yunqing was secretly dropped and sent to the Qinglou, but the Qinglou took over the woman and never let her pick up the guest, saying that the guest had already been packed.
Wei Chen suspected that the person who dropped Xiao Yunqing back then was someone from Taishi Mansion. It is very likely to be Qi Jincheng. ā
"Well done! Go back and continue to check, if it is Qi Jincheng, then it will definitely cost money in the Qinglou, can this large amount of silver be traced, and in addition, has he had any contact with the Qinglou? Whether it's disguised or not, I'll report it to me secretly after finding out in the next few days. ā
"Wechen obeys."
After Xiao Liangyi left, Li Wei thought alone for a long time, she felt that the former emperor probably should have known the reason for the matter, but because the murderer was Qi Jincheng, she didn't dare to make a move, she still needed to rely on the Qi family.
If this is the case, then what Qi Jincheng and himself were going to say that day will be very clear. He must have wished he had one eye open and one eye closed.
