However, from the moment Qiu Guhan mentioned the matter of Xia Guifei, he was completely stunned.
He and Qiu Guhan were in the same group, but they were more surprised than everyone else, and they all were surprised, and they didn't know what expression and reaction to do.
- Because, the topic of Xia Guifei is not in their plan.
Xia Guifei's body is not in the Tangji tribe. He didn't know where Xia Guifei's body was. He didn't know in advance that Qiu Liuxue would throw such a reason and suddenly do such a thing.
In other words, what Qiu Guhan did just now was all unexpected.
What the hell is this kid doing? Why? Why didn't you consult him beforehand?
More than anyone else, he wanted to know what Prince Yuki's mind was going on.
He was shocked, he was angry, he was nervous, he was uneasy, he wanted to rush out and cover Prince Yuki's mouth, and then pull him back into the queue so that he didn't talk or move.
But this is the court, it is the emperor, he can't do anything, he can only watch Prince Xing play one play after another.
It wasn't until Prince Xing suddenly brought the topic to him that he came back to his senses, slowly came out of the ranks, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, because of his duties, the minister has to visit the Tangji tribe every year, and he is quite familiar with the tribe. Last year, the minister also went there once, and accidentally found that in the tomb of the goddess worshiped by the tribe, it was Xia Guifei who was buried......"
He said it a little hard: "The cause and effect of the matter is just as Prince Xing said." β
Fake!
What he's saying now is false!
However, he must cooperate with Qiu Liuxue's lies, otherwise, Qiu Liuxue will be over, and he and the Xia family will have no future.
If there is anything else that makes him feel that things are not too bad, it is that Xia Guifei does look very similar to the goddess of the Tangji tribe, and the Tangji tribe did ask Xia Guifei to marry back then, and among the old men on the scene, there should still be people who remember this incident.
Therefore, the lie of autumn and snow can still be rounded.
As for the fact that after the imperial court went to attack the Tangji tribe, Xia Guifei's body was not found, how would it end then?
He didn't have the energy to think about it now, so he could only take one step at a time.
Snap-Qiu Yexian slapped the handrail and said angrily: "What is the identity of Xia Guifei?" Since you know that Xia Guifei's body is in Tangji Mountain, but you don't tell the court and the royal family, are you guilty? β
He's angry now!
He felt that he was put together by Qiu Liuxue and Xia Wusheng!
Xia Wusheng knelt down, kowtowed, and was dripping in cold sweat: "Your Majesty, the minister knows his mistake." After the minister found out about this secret, he negotiated with the patriarch, but the patriarch said strongly that the goddess of pure soul is the highest god of the tribe, and even the court cannot take it away, otherwise they will protect the goddess even if they fight for the danger of extermination. β
His voice began to reveal sadness and powerlessness: "The minister also thought about reporting to the imperial court, but when the minister returned to Tianzhou, he happened to encounter General Feng being captured by the Fei State, and the border of the Nu River was afraid of war, and the minister was worried that if the minister reported to the imperial court at that time, the imperial court would definitely punish the Tangji tribe, and the Tangji tribe was likely to resist at any cost, and if the war broke out at that time, it would be unfavorable to the society, so the minister wanted to solve the ...... secretly."
These are all words he came up with on the fly, but they are also reasonable, and they all have an attitude of thinking about the overall situation.
"Ridiculous!" Qiu Yexian said angrily, "I am a dignified Shang Empire, and I am still afraid of a mere Tangji tribe? Xia Wusheng, on behalf of the Great Shang Kingdom, you deal with a small number of tribes and foreign affairs, but you are timid, let others bully, and put the face of my Great Shang Empire? How can you deal with ...... with such an inferior posture?"
He is so angry now, he wants to simply dismiss Xia Wusheng!
This Xia Wusheng is clearly going to support and backing Qiu Liuxue, and he can't keep it!
"Why are you angry?" Suddenly, a very nasty voice rang out.
Then the owner of the voice, Qiu Lushuang, came out and said loudly: "When General Feng was captured, the army's morale was unstable, and if there was another war in Tangji Mountain, it would undoubtedly make matters worse!" Xia Siqing is Xia Guifei's cousin, and he has a deep affection for Xia Guifei, but he abandons his personal feelings, proceeds from the overall situation, and tries his best to maintain social peace, shouldn't he be rewarded? Why did His Majesty want to scold Xia Siqing instead? β
Xia Wusheng's comrades saw that he had spoken, and they also hurriedly spoke for Xia Wusheng.
Qiu Yexian sneered: "According to your statement, if my Shangguo lacks a general, I will not be able to clean up the small number of rebels in the country?" β
"Of course you can!" Qiu Lushuang said, "But isn't war a thing that can be avoided and should be avoided?" His Majesty often says that we must love the people, protect the people, and build a peaceful and prosperous world, and if we encounter disobedient subjects, we will fight them, and we do not think about a peaceful solution, is this not against the holy will? β
"That's a nice thing to say!" Qiu Yexian said angrily, "Can Xia Siqing settle it peacefully?" Look at the good things the Yuiso tribe is doing now! If it weren't for Xia Siqing concealing Xia Guifei's affairs, the imperial court would not be able to detect the rebellion of the Tangji tribe in time, how could the Tangji tribe be arrogant like this! How could the imperial court lose so many officials and supplies! β
He made up his mind that this time he would at least clean up one Xia Wusheng and not let these bastards be too arrogant!
"Your Majesty has to teach you a lesson!" At this time, Qiu Guhan knelt down and said in a sincere tone, "Xia Siqing is at fault, and his ministers are also at fault, and the fault is that we all misunderstood the Tangji tribe, and the Tangji tribe had a chance to cause trouble." For this reason, the younger brother should atone for his sins, personally quell the rebellion, not only to bring back the body of the concubine, but also to boost the prestige of our country and make up for the loss of the imperial court! β
Xia Wusheng hurriedly echoed: "What Prince Xing said is also the minister's intention!" Please see that we have the intention to maintain the overall situation, but we were deceived by the Tangji tribe, and give the ministers a chance to make up for their mistakes! β
Before Qiu Yexian could interject, Qiu Lushuang quickly spoke: "Your Majesty, since the seventh brother is at fault, let him make up for his mistake!" Besides, if you are a son, you should personally go and bring back your mother's body, otherwise it will be unfilial! Does His Majesty want his own brother to bear the name of unfilial piety? β
Qiu Guhan kowtowed his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister's mother, the minister must bring it back in person, otherwise the minister will have no face to live in this world!" The minister assured His Majesty that the minister would definitely win the war, and that the casualties of the imperial army would be controlled within one-third, and that there would be no big losses to the imperial court, otherwise the minister would judge himself in public and would never regret it! β
He said it too firmly, and he said it too absolutely, and he didn't give himself a way out at all.
Such a resolute attitude shocked everyone again.
He is clearly asking for war with death! Even if he can win this war, it is only a small achievement, and he still fights in the name of "making up for his mistakes", and if he wins, he will not get rewards and real power, at most his image and reputation will be improved.
What's important is that he still said so much, what "must win", "casualties are controlled within one-third", "self-judgment in public, no regrets", etc., if he can't do it, I'm afraid he will really have to die!
Is it necessary to gamble your life for such a small achievement?
Prince Xing, he is really still too young, thinking about problems and doing things, too anxious, too naΓ―ve, too impulsive!
Qiu Guhan knew what others were thinking, but he didn't hesitate.
No one knows how strong his desire was to get ahead, to get rid of control and bondage, to wash away the humiliation and torture he had in the past, to accomplish great things and to be free!
And how difficult it is to realize such a wish!
