Chapter 228
"What kind of relationship do we have, can we...... Can it be the same? Mu Qingge blushed slightly.
"Don't fight...... Emperor Shang Jing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke, "What Qingge said makes sense......
Shang Qirui was happy in his heart, but his face still showed a dissatisfied look: "Father, the emperor ......"
"None of us are ordinary people, so a lot of the time, we can't help but be more cautious." Shang Jingdi's tone was a little heavy.
"Your Majesty is right." As soon as Mu Qingge was happy, he opened the conversation: "For example, the Chen girl I met in the cold palace, she just listened to the words of the prince of Menghe and came to assassinate His Majesty." However, the prince just wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and sent Miss Chen away, but married his daughter to the king of Shijian......"
"Ahem......" Shang Qirui saw that Shang Jingdi's face was not good, and deliberately coughed twice.
Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, as if he had just come back to his senses, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said nervously to Emperor Shang Jing: "By the way, Your Majesty, there is another very important thing, the courtiers must sue you, and the courtiers are also thinking about getting out of the cold palace for this." ”
"What?" Emperor Shang Jing asked expressionlessly.
"That Shijian King sneaked up to our Dajin. Now that our two countries are negotiating peace, King Shijian is going to visit, and we will definitely welcome it. However, he came secretly and did not tell anyone, doesn't this mean that he has a ghost in his heart? Your Majesty must be careful, it is said that Shijian Barbarian is the most treacherous, and there will definitely be a lot of tricks. Mu Qingge said eagerly.
"How did you know that King Shijian was here?" Emperor Shang Jing narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to see the look in his eyes clearly.
"Didn't the courtier just mention that she met a girl in the cold palace? That Chen girl is the former lover of this Shijian King. Miss Chen came to Dajin to help King Shijian seize power, but she was locked up in the cold palace for ten years. The king of Shijian came to Dajin this time, and he didn't know where he learned the news that Miss Chen was in the cold palace, so he went to the cold palace to see Miss Chen, and happened to be touched by the courtiers. Mu Qingge hurriedly replied.
"King Shijian went to the cold palace to see Miss Chen?" Shang Jingdi's voice still couldn't hear the ups and downs, "What about them?" Right now. ”
"Miss Chen is dead." Mu Qingge was a little sad, seeing Emperor Shang Jing like this, he didn't have much interest in Miss Chen, so he had to spend so much effort chasing others at the beginning, sure enough. The love of the emperor does not last. After all, he is still a cool person.
"Dead?" Emperor Shang Jing's words finally revealed a hint of surprise, "How did you die?" ”
"It's really sad to say it, Miss Chen was killed by Liu Gongzi in order to save her courtiers......" Mu Qingge seemed to have said the wrong thing. Shut up suddenly.
Emperor Shang Jing grasped the key point: "What's the matter with Young Master Liu?" Which Liu Gongzi? Looks. Your life in the cold palace. It's really colorful, tell me all the things you encountered. There is no room for concealment. ”
Mu Qingge was a little uneasy: "Young Master Liu is the son of Liu Xianning, perhaps, he just happened to arrive in the cold palace......"
At the beginning of this, I felt that I couldn't continue, who would happen to be in the cold palace if I had nothing to do? I won't believe it, let alone Emperor Shang Jing?
"Qingge, just tell the truth, my father is not a person who doesn't talk about cleaning up, and he won't blame people casually." Shang Qirui was smart, and added a sentence next to him at the right time, and put a high hat on Emperor Shang Jing first.
Emperor Shang Jing didn't speak, and Mu Qingge said: "Liu Gongzi said that he went to the cold palace to save the courtiers, but the courtiers and him are really not familiar with each other. However, before Liu Gongzi came to the cold palace, his sister Miss Liu Qi had been to the cold palace and met Miss Chen. And the reason why Miss Liu Qi appeared in the Cold Palace was because she followed King Shijian here. Miss Liu Qi and King Shijian seem to be lovers...... However, in the end, Liu Gongzi killed Miss Chen, I think King Shijian is really sad, but he didn't attack Liu Gongzi, it seems that the relationship between them is not simple. Moreover, the courtiers thought it was very strange, didn't Liu Gongzi not know martial arts? How did it suddenly become so powerful? You say, is it possible that someone else is pretending to be Liu Gongzi? But when I look at my faces, they're really the same......"
When Mu Qingge said this, Shang Qirui couldn't help frowning, not for anything else. It's because of what Mu Qingge said, Liu Xianning said that he was going to save Mu Qingge. Shang Qirui felt that although Liu Xianning had some collusion with King Shijian. However, Liu Xianning had no reason to run to the cold palace. And the water kite had told Emperor Shang Jing about Liu Xianning's attitude towards Mu Qingge before. Obviously, Liu Xianning really just went to save Mu Qingge nine times out of ten. So, why did Liu Xianning take the risk to save Mu Qingge? Although there may be other purposes, Shang Qirui feels that Liu Xianning's treatment of Mu Qingge also seems to be a little unusual. Shang Qirui still remembers that before they went to Wucheng, once they had dinner together, Liu Xianning had been intentionally or unintentionally getting the news of Mu Qingge from Mu Wenhan. Although Shang Qirui at that time did not have the current mind about Mu Qingge, at that time, Shang Qirui regarded Mu Qingge as his enemy, and Shang Qirui was also more impressed when others mentioned her. Thinking about it this way, could it be that Liu Xianning is really interested in Mu Qingge?
And Emperor Shang Jing also frowned after listening to Mu Qingge's words. Liu Xianning's contact with King Shijian was under the control of Emperor Shang Jing, and he didn't feel any surprise. However, Mu Qingge said that Liu Xianning knew martial arts, and he was still a master, but Emperor Shang Jing didn't know it. From this point of view, Mu Qingge's previous words really make sense. He thought he was in control of everything, but in fact, there were many things he didn't know. Shang Jingdi's heart suddenly became a little heavier.
"The Liu Xianning you saw is really good at martial arts?" Emperor Shang Jing asked, wanting to confirm.
"Yes, Your Majesty is also surprised, right?" Mu Qingge pretended not to see what Emperor Shang Jing meant, "The courtiers originally thought that it might be someone else pretending to be Liu Gongzi. However, the courtier's daughter thought about it just now, and that was unlikely. When Liu Gongzi entered the cold palace, he was masked. That said, he didn't even intend to let me know who he was. Moreover, I repeatedly asked him about his identity, but he never wanted to say. If he doesn't want to admit his identity, then why bother pretending to be Liu Gongzi? This doesn't make sense......" Mu Qingge looked puzzled.
"That can only show that that person is Liu Xianning." Shang Qirui interjected, "It's just that Liu Xianning hides it too well on weekdays, so we were all deceived by him...... It's scary to think about, I used to think of him as a very good friend, when we were together. But I talk about everything. But I don't know anything about his real details. Now that I think about it, if Liu Xianning had done something to us at that time, we don't know how many times we had died......"
Shang Qirui hugged his arms a little exaggeratedly. Then he looked at Emperor Shang Jing: "Father." Or are you right. It is indeed necessary to be cautious, Erchen is still too young...... The more people around you, the more careful you must be......"
"You know it now. It's not too late. Emperor Shang Jing replied perfunctorily, and it could be seen that he was already a little absent-minded.
"Your Majesty, can the courtiers ask you for something?" Mu Qingge said suddenly.
"What?" Emperor Shang Jing said casually.
"Although Miss Chen once wanted to assassinate Her Majesty, before she died, the courtiers asked her that if she had the opportunity to go out, she would definitely not do such a thing again, and she was also calculated by others for her beloved, not that she had any deep hatred for Her Majesty. Now that she is gone, and she died to save her courtier, can the courtier's daughter ask His Majesty for mercy and stop pursuing her affairs? Mu Qingge brought up the matter of Miss Chen.
Emperor Shang Jing was a little surprised that Mu Qingge mentioned Miss Chen at this time, and he didn't understand what she meant for a while: "What do you mean, don't pursue King Shijian anymore?" ”
"No, no, it's not the relationship of King Shijian...... The king of Shijian is a person from Shijian, he sneaked to Dajin, there must be a conspiracy, he must not be let go, and he must be investigated well...... I'm talking about Miss Chen's reputation...... 陛xià should know, right? Miss Chen is the family of Doctor He, if she can, I think, Miss Chen hopes to go home...... "Miss Chen is dead, and that's all Mu Qingge can do for her."
"I understand what you mean...... "Emperor Shang Jing bowed slightly, "I agree to your request...... However, you and Miss Chen have been in the cold palace for so long, have you ever ...... Did you hear her talk about the past? Or, the matter of Stone Stream? ”
Mu Qingge understood what Emperor Shang Jing meant, and wanted to ask himself if he had learned about King Shijian's weakness from Miss Chen, right?
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingge said cautiously: "Miss Chen has talked about some things in the past, but her life is actually very simple, and there are not many things that can be said, and most of them are old things. At that time, King Shijian was not the King of Shijian, but just a down-and-out prince. However, Miss Chen said that King Shijian is still very tolerant and has a very tough personality. He came out step by step today, so it was not so easy to beat him, and there were almost no weaknesses. However, the courtiers have a weakness in looking at King Shijian. He loves Miss Chen in his heart, but he has no chance to compensate Miss Chen, so Miss Chen should be regarded as his weakness, right? Your Majesty should have seen Miss Chen, think about it, does Miss Chen look very similar to someone? ”
Emperor Shang Jing had almost forgotten Miss Chen's appearance, and when Mu Qingge asked like this, he was a little dazed, and it was difficult to admit that he couldn't remember.
Shang Qirui urged on the side: "I've been listening to your Miss Chen, who does she look like?" ”
"Miss Liu Qi...... Mu Qingge sighed slightly in his heart, "So, I think that there is a big reason why King Shijian and Miss Liu Qi are together, it is because of the relationship between her who looks like Miss Chen......"
When Mu Qingge mentioned Miss Liu Qi, Emperor Shang Jingdi's face showed a sudden expression, obviously remembering Miss Chen's appearance, and also felt that the two were very similar.
"It's very similar to Miss Liu Qi, huh? That Chen girl should really be a beauty. Emperor Shang Jing subconsciously arrived, and when he saw Mu Qingge slanting his eyes, he couldn't help but laugh, and his mood was a little better. But in front of Emperor Shang Jing, he didn't dare to flirt with Mu Qingge.
"Actually, the courtiers still have a Jianyì, I don't know if I should say it?" After Mu Qingge pondered, he knelt down with a solemn face.
Shang Qirui might as well Mu Qingge suddenly said this, he was startled by her, and then knelt down.
When Emperor Shang Jing saw that Mu Qingge and Shang Qirui were so solemn, he knew that what they wanted to say was definitely not simple. He also adjusted his spirit and said, "You can say it." ”
Shang Qirui didn't know what Mu Qingge was going to say at all, so he could only look at Mu Qingge. Mu Qingge sorted out his thoughts and said, "Now, it is obvious that the relationship between King Shijian and the Liu family is somewhat unclear...... But now, whether it is attacking the Liu family or falling out with Shijian, I think it will cause relatively large turmoil. His Majesty has always wanted to give the people a peaceful life, but he probably doesn't want to see that kind of scene......"
Mu Qingge paused. Seeing that Emperor Shang Jing did not interfere in political affairs because of himself. And angry, but really thinking about his own words, slightly relieved, continued: "I think. Now there's a solution. Maybe it's a good choice. Although it is a bit risky, if it is handled well, it can be done without a single soldier. Defuse the situation, at least for now. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Shang Qirui couldn't help but ask, Mu Qingge's thoughts were not told to Shang Qirui, and Shang Qirui himself thought of many ways to the current situation, but he felt that it was not a perfect choice. I thought that Emperor Shang Jing was sure of a qiē before, but now it doesn't seem to be. Now listening to Mu Qingge say this, I am very interested in her method.
"Aren't we Dajin discussing marriage with Shi Jian now?" Mu Qingge looked at the two of them and said word by word, "Make Miss Liu Qi a princess and marry King Shijian." ”
"What?" Shang Qirui and Emperor Shang Jing were both shocked, knowing that the Liu family had an unclear relationship with King Shijian, and they also married Miss Liu Qi to King Shijian, didn't this facilitate their collusion? Where is this solving the problem? It's too unreliable, isn't it?
"Don't worry, listen to my analysis." Mu Qingge said calmly, "You must think that now that Miss Liu Qi and King Shijian already have such a relationship, if they make their relationship justifiable, wouldn't it be convenient for them to communicate, right?" But in fact, King Shijian fell in love with Miss Liu Qi before, but because she looked very similar to Miss Chen. If Miss Chen is still alive now, I dare not say that King Shijian will remember her well for the rest of his life. But Miss Chen is no longer there, and she died in front of King Shijian, I bet that King Shijian will never forget Miss Chen again in his life. So in the days to come, King Shijian faced the almost identical faces of Miss Liu Qi and Miss Chen, what did he like? Or is it painful? After all, Miss Chen's death was done by Miss Liu Qi's brother, even if King Shijian didn't bother with Liu Xianning for his own great cause now, then what about the future? Will you always ignore it? ”
"You're thinking too simply, I'll admit, and there's some truth to what you're saying. It's just that you can't help but think that a woman is too important, in the heart of a man like King Shijian, a woman ...... It's not that important......" Emperor Shang Jing listened to Mu Qingge's words, and his face was a little better, proving that he still agreed with Mu Qingge's words. However, Emperor Shang Jing looked down on women in his bones, and naturally he would not think how important Miss Chen was to King Shijian. At least in front of the country, women are far less important.
"The courtiers know this very well." Mu Qingge was not in a hurry, and continued, "Another point is that if Miss Liu Qi is named a princess, the Liu family will be regarded as a relative of the emperor. Moreover, everyone knows that Miss Liu Qi married into Shijian, even if they have nothing to do with Shijian, they have become involved, naturally someone will stare at them to death, as long as there is a little wind and grass, they will naturally be discovered. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, they should retreat. At the same time, His Majesty can also make some small means, such as finding a few companions to live in the palace......"
Mu Qingge didn't continue, she believed that Emperor Shang Jing was a smart person, and if he was a little bit himself, he would understand more. And there is another very important reason, Mu Qingge did not bring it up, she believed that Emperor Shang Jing would think of it herself. That was the matter of the Shang Qi Dynasty. It can be seen from the matter of the cold palace that King Shijian not only colluded with the Liu family, but also had some involvement with Mu Qingyao, otherwise it would not be so coincidental. The cold palace is not a place where anyone will go in and stroll. Everyone arrived at that time, it can't be a coincidence.
And the Mu family disagrees with Mu Qingyao's approach, so Mu Qingyao's accomplices cannot be from the Mu family. So who will it be? Mu Qingyao is the fiancée of the second prince, and last time Li Zi and they also saw Mu Qingyao and the second prince in the palace. Therefore, it is inferred that between the second prince and the king of Shijian, I am afraid that it is not so simple. Moreover, Miss Liu Qi knew about Princess Rou'an before, and Mu Qingyao also told her. Therefore, it can be seen that the contact between the second prince and Liu Xianning is not a recent thing. However, everyone in the capital knows that Liu Xianning and the second prince have no intersection. There's a saying that stops wanting to cover up, isn't it?
It's just that Mu Qingge didn't plan to say these reasons, she knew that Emperor Shang Jing could think of it. If Emperor Shang Jing couldn't think of it, she couldn't say it even more. The Liu family is just a minister, and Emperor Shang Jing won't care very much. But Shang Qi Dynasty is different, Shang Qi Dynasty is a prince, if you don't pay attention to it, you may become a person who stirs up trouble and has evil intentions in the heart of Emperor Shang Jing.
Shang Qirui didn't expect that Mu Qingge would be able to think of such a good solution from such a perspective. Indeed, now is the time when it is not suitable to use force, whether it is Dajin or Shijian. However, he thought about it for a long time before, but he didn't think of any good way, even if Dajin won in the end, he was afraid that he would have to go through a big battle. And Mu Qingge, from a perspective that no one can imagine, although this method may not be able to solve the problem permanently. But at least, for now, if you follow Mu Qingge's approach, the Liu family will definitely not act rashly for the time being. Start from elsewhere and take care of it, at least to gain a certain amount of buffer time. Then, there is a chance to lay out slowly. Therefore, Mu Qingge's method is really good. This also proves once again that Mu Qing's lyrics are poor and will look at problems from a different angle. Shang Qirui looked at Mu Qingge, he was a little stupid, he really picked up a treasure. Other women, even if they are many talented women, will not have any novel opinions on this kind of political affairs, but Mu Qingge is different.
Mu Qingge saw Shang Qirui's expression, and saw that he didn't speak, looking a little stupid. I thought he was frightened by his thoughts, and his heart was slightly bitter. This method is also quite insidious to say, especially for Miss Liu Qi. Basically, Mu Qingge can be sure that if Miss Liu Qi doesn't marry King Shijian, she may still have a happy marriage. But if Miss Liu Qi marries King Shijian, she will definitely not be happy. In the past, Mu Qingge had always felt that the struggle between the two countries should not sacrifice the happiness of a little woman. But now, she herself has made such an opinion.
One is because this is indeed a good opportunity, and if Emperor Shang Jing adopts his own method, then Princess Rou'an will not have to marry to Shijian to make peace. That's natural, Mu Wenhan has a chance, isn't it? At that time, there was no reason why Emperor Shang Jing would not agree, right? Moreover, Miss Chen was also killed by Liu Xianning, even if she didn't talk about avenging Miss Chen, Mu Qingge felt that she couldn't let Liu Xianning live too easily. The most important thing is that with Mu Qingge's understanding of Miss Liu Qi, a woman like her is a person who would rather be broken than broken. Even if she knew about Miss Chen, she would probably still try her best to marry King Shijian, even if Miss Chen was dead, she might still want to win her. Although, in this war, in Mu Qingge's opinion, Miss Liu Qi is already destined to lose very thoroughly. But since she wants to do the same, why not go with the flow?
The three of them had their own thoughts in their hearts, so after Mu Qingge finished saying this long paragraph, the room was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere became weird.
In the end, it was Emperor Shang Jing who broke the silence first, but said an unrelated topic: "I really didn't expect that Miss Mu would have such a plan, but I underestimated you, and you are indeed a heroine among women." ”
When Emperor Shang Jing said these words, he was smiling, but Mu Qingge always felt that he was not complimenting at all. I guess I think my heart is dirty, right? It's just that I'm embarrassed to say it directly in front of everyone.
Mu Qingge didn't care about Shang Jingdi's opinion, as long as he could listen to his own words. (To be continued......)
