Chapter 192: Peace Negotiation (II)
There was a burst of thunder outside, and this short sentence was more like a thunderbolt in the Lizheng Palace.
"What do you mean?" Emperor Yuan asked in a calm voice.
Prince Yu bowed his head and arched his hand: "The minister doesn't dare to speak." ”
"Say!" Emperor Yuan's voice was extremely stern.
Fu Qizheng was stunned for a long time, and was shocked back to his senses by this sharp voice.
"The minister has read the national letter, noted down the contents of it, copied a copy, and asked the emperor to take a look at it first." Prince Yu presented an excerpt.
Emperor Yuan opened it and looked at it, his face turned blue in an instant, and Fu Qizheng was even more frightened in his heart, what was written in the national book?
Emperor Yuan was furious, and instantly smashed the piece in the hall: "What a regent, do you really think that I am afraid of him and the Jin Kingdom?" ”
Prince Yu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor is angry, and the minister didn't expect Jin Guo to be so bold, he used to just ask for peace, but now he dares to use Sheng Ning to exchange with the emperor for a concubine." ”
The situation has become like this, a war started because of itself, and the so-called red face and disaster are probably like this. Fu Qizheng stood up on the table and knelt down slowly.
Prince Yu hurriedly defended Fu Qizheng: "Your Majesty, this is really wishful thinking on the part of the Jin Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with the noble concubine. ”
"I know." Emperor Yuan said lightly, walked down and leaned over to help Fu Qizheng up.
"Does the emperor still want to see the envoy?"
Emperor Yuan stood beside Fu Qizheng, silent and hesitant.
"According to the minister's opinion, this person can see it, but he can't do it in front of the civil and military officials, otherwise he will ......" Prince Yu looked at Fu Qizheng again.
Fu Qizheng knew in his heart that if he was in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. On the spot, many people will advocate handing over the concubine in exchange for Shengning Zhouquan, and if the people in the second mansion of Qin Fu oppose it, they will be impeached because they instigated the emperor to ignore the country.
"I know. Rong Zhen thinks about it, you step back first. ”
Fu Qizheng sat there with calm eyes, without saying a word, the thunder outside gradually decreased, and the rain became a lot smaller, but the wind and rain in the number of fatalities had just hit.
"Are you worried?" Emperor Yuan asked, seeing that she was worried. But I vaguely felt that Fu Qizheng was too quiet, as if he had known it for a long time.
Fu Qizheng said lightly: "How can the concubines compare with the city of Daning. ”
Emperor Yuan immediately said: "I will never compromise, without Shengning." Sooner or later, it will be recaptured. ”
Fu Qizheng's gaze fell on the scattered fold on the ground in the hall: "The concubine wants to see the national book." ”
"It's okay not to look at delusional things." Emperor Yuan resolutely said, "Don't worry, even if I am ashamed of the infamy of the ancestors." I won't give you away. ”
I can get him to say this. Fu Qizheng was already pleased, and he also made a decision in his heart. If Chen Xiruo's intention is satisfied, Sheng Ning still has a glimmer of life, even if she loses the position of concubine, even if Jun is no longer a stranger, at least she can still be in this palace, and she can still be by his side, even if she can occasionally take a look. It is also satisfaction.
Emperor Yuan then urgently summoned Qin Xiang and scholars into the palace, and Fu Qizheng returned to Jingyi Palace. Wrote a piece of paper and asked Nian Jin'an to wait outside the Qianning Palace, and handed it to Fu Renxian, and waited for Nian Jin'an to come back to know, the original content of the Jin Guoguo letter had already gone away, and before Emperor Yuan summoned the envoys, most of the civil and military officials in Pingjing knew.
Who spread this news, Fu Qizheng knew it in his heart, and his intentions were also clear, and the next step was to unite with the Chen family to put pressure on Emperor Yuan.
On the second day, Emperor Yen summoned the envoys of the Kingdom of Najin to the court. There was an uproar in the harem of the court, and in the next few days, many concubines came to Jingyi Palace to ask for a meeting, I don't know whether they wanted to comfort the concubine or add fuel to the fire, but they were all rejected by Fu Qizheng.
Fu Qizheng stayed at home on the grounds of a foot injury and waited quietly in the dormitory. It wasn't until Concubine Zhen came that the door of Jingyi Palace was opened.
Concubine Zhen said after giving a salute: "The concubine is still willing to see the concubine, and the concubine is very grateful. ”
Fu Qizheng said: "It's not easy to see Sister Zhen, how can you turn my sister away." ”
"The concubines of the Jin Kingdom have heard about the matter of asking for peace, what are the plans in the hearts of the mother?"
"My life is long gone, what else can I do."
"I heard that the envoy said in front of the ministers that the regent of the Jin Kingdom has favored Niangniang for a long time, but Niangniang is in the palace ban, how did the Jin Kingdom know about Niangniang, could it be that Niangniang knows the regent?"
Fu Qizheng smiled deeply: "My sister also said that I am in the harem of the Ning Dynasty, how can I know the prince of the Jin Kingdom." ”
"The envoy also said that the regent of the Jin Kingdom was a thief when he heard that the concubine Niangniang of Daning was a rare beauty in the world, and the regent was probably a womanizer, and he dared to fight the idea of the princess of Daning, and the emperor would not let go of the Jin country, and he had to export his evil anger for his sister."
"But why hasn't the emperor replied to Jin Guo until now, if the emperor really refuses, he should explicitly refuse, Niangniang is really not worried that the emperor will ......"
"What's the use of worrying, if that's the case, the Holy Command cannot be violated." Fu Qizheng muttered.
Concubine Zhen frowned and said, "My good sister, are you just resigned to fate?" My sister is helpless in this palace, except for Rui'er, who only thinks about your sister. ”
"I don't have a second prince under my sister's knees, I am alone in this palace, and I only obey the emperor's orders." Fu Qizheng looked at Concubine Zhen again and smiled slightly, "My sister is here to ask me to ask the emperor?" ”
"I heard that my sister locked herself in the dormitory all day long, and they all said that my sister was evading and deceiving herself, and my sister was afraid that my sister would accept her fate, but I didn't expect my sister to really think like this." Concubine Zhen said helplessly.
Fu Qizheng said lightly: "It's not that I don't have two ears to the things outside the window, and I know some of the rumors outside, and I also know that now there are ministers who impeach my Fu family for collaborating with the enemy, saying that my father and brother colluded with the Jin State." ”
Concubine Zhen said again: "This is not groundless, the army has suffered setbacks one after another, only the men and horses brought by General Fu Qi are unscathed, of course people with ulterior motives want to make a big fuss about this, but my sister believes that this must be framed, but my sister believes that it is useless, and the emperor has to believe it." ”
Fu Qizheng sighed gloomily: "Yes, the most important thing is the emperor's trust, at this juncture, my Fu family can no longer bear those slanders, but I haven't seen the emperor for many days, and I don't know if the emperor believes it." ”
Fu Yin hurriedly comforted: "How can the emperor not believe my sister and uncle, my sister is worried about this matter all day long, rumors will only be rumors, the emperor is Mingjun, he will never wronged his uncle, if he doesn't come to see his sister these days, he must be dealing with the Jin Kingdom." ”
Concubine Zhen smiled: "Even Yinwei said this, my sister can rest assured." ”
The good times didn't last long, just when the people in the palace were waiting for Emperor Yuan's choice, Shuyi Chen Xiruo presented a letter to the king, which immediately became the "ironclad evidence" of Fu Qizheng collaborating with the enemy in the eyes of the ministers, but fortunately, the letter only mentioned Fu Qizheng, and did not directly refer to the Fu family, so it was not deeply implicated.
The minions of Jingyi Palace were all anxious, and only Fu Qizheng faced it indifferently, as if waiting for it to fall.
"Niangniang, how did that letter with a lot of relevance come to Chen Shuyi's hands, now that the emperor has seen that letter, I am afraid that he will misunderstand Niangniang." Nian Jinan was worried.
Fu Qizheng looked out the window and sighed, and said slowly: "It's a disaster that can't be avoided." "I stood in front of the window for a while, and the wounds on my muscles and bones were not healed, but the pain in my feet was numb. turned around and called the palace maid to help her to the palace, took out the jade plate and jade seal of the concubine with her own hands, and put them on the table.
Nian Jinan looked at Fu Qizheng's actions and said in horror: "What is the mother doing with these." ”
Fu Qizheng said indifferently: "Return it to the inner house." (To be continued.) )
