249 The ants shall die
In the study of the prince's mansion in the capital, the tea has been on for a long time, and the best Biluochun, but at this time, the prince is not in the mood to taste tea, but lets the heat in the tea disappear little by little, and his eyes are still staring straight at the floating and heavy tea, and his expression is uncertain.
Pei Bi knelt on the side, just hanging his head and not saying a word. The prince snorted coldly, and dropped the tea lid on the tea bowl heavily, in the past, he and Pei Bi brothers were commensurate, and the relationship was very close, but at this moment, he couldn't hide the anger on his face, no matter how prominent the Pei family was, but there was one thing, the prosperity of the Pei family would be tied to the prince's hands in the future. Therefore, no matter how good the relationship between him and Pei Bi is, once something big happens, the prince is also the master, and the Pei family is still a slave.
The prince said coldly: "Look at the good errand you did, even if it caused me, I lost face in front of my mother!" That Zhao Zong's father and son are really stupid things, they gave everything they planned and planned, but they were still destroyed in their hands! Didn't you say that everything is under control? How did he force this Zhao Xianghe to break into the catastrophe, or what to do in front of everyone's eyes! β
Pei Bi's voice was very respectful, he lowered his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Back to the prince, that Zhao Xianghe was originally in my hands, but this person was stupid and overconfident, so he fell for Li Weiyang, and mistakenly thought that the fifth son of the Guo family really brought evidence unfavorable to their Zhao family into the palace to sue the emperor." Once the interests of the Zhao family are implicated, even if I warn him repeatedly, he refuses to believe it, and only thinks that we are sincerely watching his jokes. At the feast, I had already been watched, but the people who sent him were deliberately obstructed, and now it seems to be a trap. From the beginning of Guo Guo's exit to Beijing to his return, and even the secret letter that came back, Li Weiyang's scheming was not shallow after all! β
When the prince heard this, he never eased his anger, and his voice became even colder: "The queen who lost your mother still praised you so much, saying that you were a first-class strategist, but you were played around by a woman in front of you!" In the eyes of the prince, Li Weiyang is just a woman in the boudoir, but it is this woman who is cunning and cunning, and has ruined several major events one after another, why don't you make him depressed! He held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "Since she just returned to the Guo family, she has been constantly causing trouble, always talking to the Pei family, and now she is actually making trouble with me again, and she really treats me as a soft persimmon!" β
Originally, today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and according to the custom, the emperor would give a lot of rewards to the princes and ministers of the court. But after such a fuss, everyone was silent, and even the prince had no face, especially when the emperor looked at the prince before leaving, he always felt cold every time he thought about it, and he couldn't help but feel more uneasy. In fact, since the Tobe incident, although he has not been punished by the emperor, he can also feel that the emperor is always extremely cold to him, so he has become more and more frightened.
Fortunately, this matter has finally calmed down recently, and the prince was able to free up his hands to clean up the Guo family, but he didn't expect to be restrained by the other party in turn. Zhao Zong should die, Zhao Xianghe is not a smart person, but he shouldn't die at this time! Now everyone suspects that this matter has something to do with the Pei family, the Pei family is in the water, how can the prince's hands be clean? The crown prince has already begun to assist in government affairs, but the holy will is unpredictable, if the Guo family does this with him again, I am afraid that his position as the prince will be unstable again.
Pei Bi originally designed this out, with the help of Nalan Xue's hand, Guo Yan could be cleaned up, and he could also take the Guo family to the end by plotting against him, and Li Weiyang would naturally be unlucky at that time, but he didn't expect the whole situation to change in an instant.
Pei Bi knew that Li Weiyang had the means best, and thought that she must have a back-up move, so he couldn't help but be vigilant, and reminded the prince: "Your Highness, this Li Weiyang is unpredictable, and he is the best at conspiracy and cunning. β
The prince's anger, which was about to subside, was stirred up by a sentence, and he was extremely angry: "You, like the queen mother, will persuade me to forbear!" An Guo's revenge has not been avenged, seeing that the Guo family is thriving in the court again, do you just let me watch it like this, one day I will ask them to help Yuan Ying ascend the throne, my prince will even lose his life, and I will see what will happen to your Pei family when the time comes! β
Pei Bi glanced at the prince, and his face changed: "It's me who lost my words for a while, please calm the prince's anger!" In fact, this prince has been deeply taught by Empress Pei for many years, and can be described as both civil and military, witty and calm, and is a perfect candidate to inherit the throne in all aspects. It's a pity that he has been forced to be very impatient by Li Weiyang recently, and all the shortcomings hidden when the wind is going well have also come out...... Pei Bi was silent for a while, and then frowned slightly: "Your Highness, no matter how we move, if we can't shake His Majesty's holy favor to the Guo family, there is no way to do anything to them after all." β
The prince was stunned, and his eyes instantly became cold: "Do you mean that His Majesty has been protecting the Guo family?" β
Pei Bi nodded, with an indescribable gloom in his voice: "Judging from the actions of His Majesty at today's banquet, it does show this. He wants to keep the Guo family to contain the Pei family, even if we plant a crime of rebellion on the head of the Guo family, His Majesty will not believe it lightly. Look at him this time, he is very fortunate to the Guo family, otherwise he would not have restored Guo Yan's position as a general at the beginning of the month, and gave the Guo family a lot of gifts. This Guo Yan left silently, the imperial history was impeached, and the Duke of Qi entered the palace to ask for guilt, the emperor not only blamed, but also felt that the Guo family had suffered a lot of grievances, and it was another reward...... However, His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry, the Guo family is so big-flying, it's really disgusting, let's just stop and watch others clean them up. β
When the prince heard this, he was still a little puzzled, but when he saw Pei Bi's eyes flashing gloomy, and his face was very ruthless, a lightning bolt flashed in the prince's mind, and he suddenly woke up, and his depression was swept away, and he couldn't help but smile and say: "Yes, yes!" Pei Bi, you are really a smart person! That's right, the bigger the Guo family's momentum, but it is a blazing fire, and now he and the Chen family have broken up, and they are so high-profile and openly dealing with the Zhao family, but His Majesty has also made a posture of maintenance, which has forced the Guo family to commit public anger. So many families don't eat dry rice, they want to be the ministers of the humerus, naturally someone will give them some color to see! β
Pei Bi saw the prince laughing so proudly, and he clearly knew that the prince was fishing in troubled waters.
After a long time, the prince calmed down, changed a soothing smile on his face, and said after a while: "I already understand what you mean, we shouldn't go up to ask for fun when the Guo family's holy family is thick, we should sum it up, how can we make people interested in the Guo family and do it instead of us!" β
Pei Bi bowed in response, then retreated from the prince's study and walked to the top of the steps. As soon as he came into contact with the cold air at night, Pei Bi coughed heavily, forcibly suppressed the iron breath in his chest, and sneered: "Li Weiyang, it is not known who will kill the deer, so you can wait and see." "Holy family, what is holy family, the most unreliable thing is this majesty, the protection on the surface, it is not the intention to send your Guo family to death. He sneered as he quickly descended the steps, his figure disappearing into the night.
Three days later, Concubine Guo Hui suddenly posted a post inviting Li Weiyang to the palace to taste tea. In fact, Concubine Hui has not made such an invitation for a long time since she returned to the palace. And this time, instead of inviting Mrs. Guo, she named Li Weiyang to enter the palace, and there must be something important to say to her. After Li Weiyang learned about this, he immediately reported to Mrs. Guo, and Mrs. Guo took care of her carefully, carefully and appropriately, and then arranged for people to follow Li Weiyang into the palace.
Li Weiyang was in front of Concubine Guo Hui's door and met Jing Wang Yuanying. They stand at opposite ends of each other's only path, and there is no way to avoid it. Li Weiyang just smiled slightly, stood in place and watched Yuan Ying walk quickly towards her.
"Jia'er." Yuan Ying's voice is very gentle, just like others, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, worthy of being the famous smiling king in the court. It's just that Li Weiyang heard that between his smug eyebrows and eyes, there was a hint of depression hidden. In fact, although the crown prince is now powerful, he is helpless to take King Yuanying, although the Duke of Qi is unwilling to openly support him, but the existence of the Guo family itself is a kind of reliance for him. In addition, he is good at dancing with long sleeves and is good at winning people's hearts, and he has attracted a group of courtiers in private, and there are many staff members who are loyal to him. Today's Jing Wang Yuanying should be ambitious and want to compete with the prince, so where does his depression come from?
Li Weiyang remained silent and bowed sideways.
Yuan Ying looked at Li Weiyang, there was a bit of trance in his eyes, this woman should have been his fiancΓ©e, if there was no Xuwang Yuanlie, Guo Jia would naturally be his, the unwillingness in his heart gradually surged into his eyes, but unfortunately Yuan Lie was saved. Because of such a person, not only Guo Jia refused, but even other people no longer helped him.
Recently, Yuan Ying found that the emperor's expression when he looked at Yuan Lie was always very complicated, and there was a touch of love in the coldness that he never dared to hope for, and he couldn't help but be even more resentful of Yuan Lie, it has always been like this, it should obviously belong to him, Yuan Lie wants to rob it, Guo Jia is like this, and his father is like this! One day, he will get it back with interest.
Yuan Ying's smile was like a spring breeze, but a light appeared in his eyes, which was bound to be obtained, although it flashed quickly, but Li Weiyang was such a keen person, she immediately noticed the unnaturalness of Yuan Ying's expression. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, everyone in this world wants fame and fortune. Jiangshan, beauty, want everything, but I don't know if I am willing to give up, first give up and then get, give up, in order to have something, but everyone will forget this point. I have already said what I should say, Li Weiyang has no way to control Jingwang Yuanying's behavior, she already knows that everything in this world can be controlled, but people's hearts are not controlled, no matter what. King Jing's plan is actually very simple, he plans to marry her again after winning the position, but unfortunately Li Weiyang will never enter the palace again in this life, so she just has a polite smile on her face, and she doesn't care what King Jing thinks at all.
Yuan Ying knew that the person in front of him was currently the treasure of his uncle and aunt, and he was the person he needed very much, and he had to win over her, instead of making her wary of herself, so he smiled and said, "Did the concubine summon you into the palace today?" β
Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "Yes, Concubine Hui said that she called me to gossip." When Yuan Ying heard this, the sharp light in his eyes reappeared, and he didn't say much, just nodded, and walked sideways.
The moment the two passed by, they both smiled appropriately and behaved detachedly, but they walked in different directions, like two lines that did not intersect in the first place, only briefly intersected, and then went in two different directions, never intersecting again.
"Niangniang, Miss Guo asks to see you." The palace maid reported softly.
When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she immediately put down the teacup in her hand and ordered, "Let her come in quickly." β
Li Weiyang entered the hall, Concubine Guo Hui was already waiting, her expression was three points more haggard than a few days ago, obviously she was not having a very good time in the palace. Li Weiyang thought of Concubine Ge Li's brilliance and aggressiveness during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and couldn't help but have a clear understanding of Concubine Guo Hui's situation. Now in the palace, Chen Guifei and Concubine Guo Hui have gradually drifted apart, people in the palace are used to watching dishes, knowing that the Guo and Chen families were not harmonious in the previous dynasty, which naturally affected the harem, and even turned out a lot of old things, which caused a lot of right and wrong in front of Concubine Guo Hui's door for a while.
Although Concubine Guo Hui has the intention to resolve the grievances between the Guo and Chen families, it is a pity that Guo Yan has left Dadu, and Chen Bingbing is also closed all day long. She looked at Li Weiyang and said softly: "Jia'er, my aunt knows that you have always been a child with ideas, so this time I want to ask you what you mean, did you send someone to find Yan'er back?" β
Li Weiyang looked at Concubine Guo Hui and couldn't help but shake her head, Concubine Guo Hui felt a little strange when she saw her indifferent expression. In fact, Concubine Guo Hui's meaning is not difficult to understand, she has been in the palace for a long time, and naturally knows that the power of the DPRK and China is overwhelming, the Guo and Chen families have deep roots and frequent contacts, and over the years, each other has some unspeakable handles in each other's hands, the Chen family does not move, and the Guo family naturally does not move. But it is better to settle the dispute than to settle it, Concubine Guo Hui always feels that Guo Yan and Chen Bingbing are a good couple, why did they make trouble to this point. Regarding the matter of Nalan Xue, Mrs. Guo once came to a letter and explained carefully to Concubine Guo Hui. But Concubine Guo Hui has never seen Nalan Xue after all, and she doesn't have such a personal experience, she just feels that her brother and sister-in-law are very confused, no matter how she cherishes her son and feels guilty about Nalan Xue, she should always take into account the vital interests between the two families, why would she suddenly make a storm in the city.
Now that Guo Yan has gone with his seal and is missing, the best way is to find him back first, and then think of matching him and Chen Bingbing to renew the Mandarin Alliance, only in this way can the Guo and Chen families have the possibility of uniting again, and it will not give the Pei family a chance. The most important thing is that it is very inappropriate to let the children of the Guo family wander outside, even if Guo Yan refuses to be with Chen Bingbing anymore, he should not disappear without a trace.
Of course, Li Weiyang understood what Concubine Guo Hui meant, but she didn't agree: "Grandmother also wanted to send someone to find the second brother, but there was no news, and my mother and father meant to let him go like this." β
Concubine Guo Hui couldn't help but change color and said, "What do you mean by this, is it possible that the son of the Guo family will let him be left behind?" β
Li Weiyang is not indifferent in his heart, but everyone is responsible for their own choices, since Guo Yan is gone, what is the use of them chasing it back? So she just said softly: "The second brother is not here, even if he forcibly leaves him in Dadu, it is impossible for him to reunite with Chen Bingbing's old dream." β
When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, her lips opened several times and she wanted to speak, and finally said: "Why do you children not listen to dissuasion so much, are you all crazy!" The family has raised you for so many years, and at a critical moment, everyone is so picky, if everyone is like you, can the Guo family still survive! β
Concubine Guo Hui would say such things, Li Weiyang is not surprised, because she also left her beloved for the benefit of the family back then, she can sacrifice for the family without hesitation, and naturally feels that Guo Yan should be more like this as a man. In the final analysis, people's values and ways of doing things determine their own destiny, Guo Yan missed it once, and he was unwilling to make a second mistake, so he left with Nalan Xue's ashes, which can be regarded as fulfilling his past oath to Nalan Xue. But Concubine Guo Hui can't understand this, even if she understands, she still hopes that Guo Yan can start from the overall situation, forget about Nalan Xue, return to Chen Bingbing's side, be a qualified child of the Guo family, and continue to bear his responsibilities. In the eyes of Concubine Guo Hui, pain is temporary, but responsibility is one-time, from the moment everyone is born, anything can be given up, but responsibility cannot be shirked no matter what, this is the way of life.
Li Weiyang raised his head, looked at Concubine Guo Hui and said: "Niangniang, my parents have already made up their minds, and they will never go back to find the second brother again, and this matter will end here, and there is no need to mention the marriage of the Guo and Chen families." β
Concubine Guo Huifei was so angry that her face turned pale, she looked at Li Weiyang, and she almost couldn't say a word. I don't know when she started, she found that her concept had deviated from the rest of the Guo family, and the friendship and alliance between the Guo and Chen families for so many years was ruined just because of a country girl, so that she couldn't forgive Nalan Xue no matter what, let alone Guo Yan's confusion and short-sightedness! In her opinion, the honor of the family far exceeds the happiness of the individual, if it weren't for this, wouldn't her sacrifice become a joke back then, so she said coldly: "You have already met your cousin Yuanying just now, right?" β
Li Weiyang nodded: "Yes, I have just seen His Royal Highness King Jing go out of the courtyard." β
Concubine Guo Hui's eyes pierced into her eyes like a flying blade, and she said word by word: "That's good, I have just asked him to look for your second brother everywhere, and I must find him back, and I will pressure him to apologize to the Chen family!" β
Li Weiyang stopped talking, if love and family let her choose, Concubine Guo Hui must choose the latter, but she forced everyone to make the same choice as her, which is not necessary, everyone has their own way to go, Guo Yan left the family and gave up his identity is also his choice, begging him to come back? It's ridiculous.
Concubine Guo Hui saw Li Weiyang bow her head and was about to say something more, but she saw a little palace maid respectfully walk in and report: "Niangniang, Mrs. Chen has entered the palace." β
Concubine Guo Hui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "She? Now at this hour, what to do in the palace. β
The little palace maid glanced at Li Weiyang hesitantly, and Concubine Guo Hui shook her hand and said, "Honestly." β
The palace maid immediately said: "Yes, I heard that the young lady of the Chen family couldn't think about it, so she twisted her hair and went to practice in the nunnery." β
The teacup in Concubine Guo Huifei's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and she said in disbelief: "Is this true? β
The little palace maid showed a look of panic on her face: "It was Mrs. Chen who cried and mentioned it to Chen Guifei, because there were people in the palace of the concubine who were friendly with the slave maid, so the news came quietly, and the slave and maid didn't know how strict the matter would be, but I heard that she had been ordained-"
Then there is no way to get it back, Concubine Guo Hui's face turned pale all of a sudden, she stroked her forehead with a headache, and sighed: "Jia'er, can you hear it, look at what is going on!" β
Li Weiyang's face was calm, although she felt sorry for Chen Bingbing, she would not stop the other party's choice, but she said in a flat tone: "Since the second sister-in-law has become a monk, it proves that there is no room for recovery in this matter, Concubine Hui should not be sad and sad anymore, this is everyone's fate, and you can't force it." β
Concubine Guo Hui looked at Li Weiyang, she wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes were full of hatred for iron and steel, obviously sad and disappointed in the Guo family's approach, she sacrificed for the family like that at the beginning, didn't she give up her beloved? Why can't Guo Yan do it? Since Nalan Xue has been abandoned, he should follow through to the end and don't look back, wouldn't it be a fool to give up halfway like this!
However, Li Weiyang knew that Chen Bingbing was also seriously injured, she did not do this to make the Guo family feel guilty, but to quickly cut through the mess and completely cut off contact with Guo Yan, which may not be bad for Chen Bingbing, if she figured it out one day in the future, she would be more comfortable, not to mention that according to Mrs. Chen's personality, she would not let her daughter really stay in the nunnery anyway, and after a few years, when things faded, she would definitely choose a son-in-law for her to remarry, which was much better than returning to the Guo family to touch the scene. Li Weiyang said in a firm tone: "Niangniang, I advise you not to look for the second brother again, even if you get him back and forcibly tie him and the second sister-in-law together, the two of them will not be able to go together, a pair of resentful couples will only make the relationship between the Guo and Chen families more stiff, but it is not as good as now-"
Concubine Guo Hui said coldly: "Now that this is the case, do you know that the Chen family is also attacking the Guo family in the foreign court?" β
Li Weiyang said slowly: "The Guo family has some handles in the hands of the Chen family, how can the Chen family not be like this, they are fighting a little outside, the purpose is just to force the second brother to come back and apologize to the second sister-in-law and get back together, if they really want to make a big move, they don't have the courage yet." β
Seeing Li Weiyang's calm expression, Concubine Guo Hui was not moved at all, and finally sighed and said: "That's it, you young people, I can't control it, what the Guo family wants to be tossed by you is up to you." When you go back, help me persuade my sister-in-law to let her relax. Saying that, she said to the palace maid: "I'm tired, send Miss Guo out." β
The palace maid trembled and led Li Weiyang out, but she couldn't see the slightest panic on Li Weiyang's face, and she couldn't help but be even more puzzled. She really didn't understand, Concubine Hui's face was obviously very annoyed just now, why didn't this Miss Guo pay any attention to it, was she really not worried?
Li Weiyang had just left Concubine Guo Hui's courtyard, but suddenly saw a eunuch walking quickly towards here, and said respectfully: "Miss Guo, Your Majesty has sent someone to pass the order, saying that he wants to invite you to meet you." β
Li Weiyang frowned slightly and said, "Does Your Majesty want to see me?" β
The eunuch smiled and said, "Yes, please Miss Guo move." β
Li Weiyang thought for a while, and his eyes turned slightly: "I came to visit Concubine Hui's mother, and His Majesty suddenly summoned me, and I always have to talk to my mother." β
The eunuch said: "Miss Guo, don't worry, the slave will naturally go to report to Concubine Hui." β
Li Weiyang looked at the eunuch with a very calm expression, but a trace of imperceptible premonition flashed in his heart, the emperor summoned her for no reason, there must be something wrong with this, but no one in the palace dared to fake the holy decree. She turned her head and instructed the palace maid: "Since His Majesty summoned me, I have to go, you go back and report to the mother." As she spoke, she winked lightly at the palace maid, but suddenly whispered, "Hey, why are my earrings gone?" β
The little palace maid was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down to help her look everywhere. Li Weiyang also bent down and whispered in the palace maid's ear: "You go and tell SΓΉ Niangniang, if I don't come out in half an hour, I will immediately go and ask His Royal Highness King Xu!" β
The little palace maid is not stupid, she is usually a confidant by Concubine Guo Hui's side, and nodded again and again: "Found it, Miss Guo's earrings are here!" β
Li Weiyang smiled slightly, took the glass earrings in her hand, and said in her heart that the emperor was an extremely tyrannical person, even Yuan Lie couldn't catch his temperament, he summoned him for no reason, but it was nothing good. Although he is not afraid of death, but his wish has not been fulfilled, and there must be no accidents. When she thought of this, she had a smile on her face, the emperor was called, how could she refuse? However, there is always time to stall.
Li Weiyang followed the eunuch all the way into the imperial study, which was placed with a full set of mahogany utensils, luxurious and elegant, and the four treasures of the study room on the Bogu shelf, famous inkstone, famous pen, old ink, rice paper, everything. The emperor stood in front of the desk, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with a three-color jasper tie around his waist, and a crown of ten thousand silk beads, looking down at something.
The eunuch led Li Weiyang in, and the emperor raised his eyes to look at her, and praised her with a gloomy face: "Miss Guo has written a good hand, the knot is tight and round, the strong bones are pregnant inside and beyond the outside, solemn and quiet, and the essence is inside, which is really a rare masterpiece." β
Since Li Weiyang was evaluated as not able to understand the ink in his previous life, she has been obsessed, and she is also diligent in practicing calligraphy in this life, and now many years have passed, although it is not a great calligraphy master, but the font is also a school of its own, very progressive, but to be honest, and those who have been proficient in calligraphy since childhood are still far from the majority of talented women. She didn't expect that this would be appreciated by the emperor like this, but this also meant that her daily practice was somehow sent under the emperor's nose, she just bowed her head and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, the courtiers don't dare to be." β
The emperor sneered, and said with a smile: "Do you know what I mean by summoning you today?" β
Li Weiyang saw that the emperor's expression was calm, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes, and he realized something in his heart, but his face was calm, and he said respectfully: "The power of heaven is unpredictable, and the courtiers dare not secretly speculate on His Majesty's thoughts, please make it clear." β
The emperor smiled faintly and said: "I originally thought that you were a famous daughter in the show of wisdom, so I allowed you to be by his side, but who knew that it was a woman who was ruined by the outside of gold, not bold and not young, and even dared to flatter King Xu and instigated him to do something in the palace, so that everyone was shocked and resentful, which is simply a great crime!" Can you plead guilty? β
The look of surprise in Li Weiyang's eyes flashed, but he was instantly calm, and he only raised his eyes.
The Emperor seemed surprised by her composure and stared at her as well. is obviously a woman, and she is a scheming and cunning person, but in the past, under her own eyes, even those courtiers had to tremble, but she was indifferent and graceful, not at all like a girl of this age. If it weren't for Li Weiyang and King Xu Yuanlie getting together, the emperor wouldn't want to do anything to her. Because no matter how smart Li Weiyang is, he is just a small role in his eyes, and he doesn't need to think about it like this. Seeing that she didn't answer, the emperor's voice suddenly became a little colder: "If you don't speak, do you despise Yu Me, I will ask you again, Guo Jia, are you guilty!" β
Li Weiyang only stood still and looked at the edge of the case in front of him, leaning over and said: "Please forgive your majesty, it's just that the courtiers have never instigated King Xu, let alone disturbed the government, how can you say that the whole dynasty is complaining?" β
The emperor sneered, and said with a cold expression: "Okay, I might as well make it clear to you." What have you done since you arrived in Dadu, do you want to come one by one? As a woman, she didn't know the way to abide by the boudoir, so she instigated the fight between the Guo family and the Pei family, and tried to seduce Xu Wang Yuanlie and instigate him to do things without etiquette. This is not enough, because of your own personal vendetta, and even instigated Yuan Lie to make a move against that Zhao Xianghe in the palace! What kind of place is this, you are a foxy woman! If you still have the slightest face, you should cut yourself off, do you still have to do it? β
The emperor's expression was very terrifying, just looking at it, he felt that the coldness seemed to invade his heart inch by inch, so that people had nowhere to hide, and others would be frightened to the legs and feet when they saw his terrible methods of punishing people, but Li Weiyang just said calmly: "The courtier is just a little woman, neither knows any poetry and books, nor has a special basis, the Guo family is the relatives of the courtier, the courtier has nothing to repay, she can only try her best to make her family safe, if this can be regarded as treacherous, the courtier has nothing to say." As for Yuan Lie, the courtiers recognized him, many years ago, he was the third son of the Li family, and our friendship has long been known, so how can we seduce him? When she said this, she looked at the emperor and said: "Or if you have known each other since you were a child and have a deep friendship, Your Majesty also thinks it's inappropriate, won't all your childhood sweethearts be killed by Your Majesty?" β
This is to remind her that she once had the grace to save Yuan Lie's life, the emperor's face was pale, and his voice could not hear joy and anger, but it made people feel inexplicably frightened: "Don't play tricks in front of me, you are not afraid that I will kill you immediately!" β
Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Since Majesty wants to kill people and kill people, the courtiers have no choice, but before you want to ask Majesty to do it, please think about Yuan Lie, if he knew that I died at your hands, what would he think of Majesty? "It's not too much to kill people, but this emperor likes to appreciate the fear of others before he dies, Li Weiyang has already felt his thoughts clearly, if she begs for mercy at this moment, I'm afraid he will kill people immediately, but she is not afraid, he will scruple about three points.
The emperor's face was cold when he heard this, and his whole body was full of anger, and his gaze at her was instantly like a goshawk looking at a rabbit, and he was cold, and finally smiled coldly: "Originally, I didn't want to worry about you, but if you hinder a big thing, even if you dirty my hands, I have to dispose of dirty things like you for him!" As he spoke, he suddenly said sharply: "Come on, punish with a cane!" β
The two guards immediately walked in when they heard the sound, holding a red lacquer torture staff in their hands, Li Weiyang understood very well that the emperor had always been ruthless, and this torture staff was by no means comparable to ordinary sticks, and if the staff went down, it might kill her. She knew that the other party would not tolerate mercy, but said loudly: "Your Majesty's thoughts, although the courtiers can't know everything, they can also guess a thing or two, don't you want to listen to the courtiers finish the whole story, so you have to do it?" β
These words were not fast, and his voice was soft, but the emperor's expression changed greatly when he heard it, and he immediately spoke: "Not only is he good at cheating, but he is also bold!" He actually said that he guessed my mind, let's hear it! β
Li Weiyang looked at him with a changeable expression, and his eyes were even more treacherous, knowing that he must have another meaning besides killing, he looked at him with fixed eyes, and said lukewarmly: "Your Majesty's mind is not difficult to guess, is it to change the prince?" β
When these words were spoken, the expressions of the entire people in the imperial study changed, and the two guards fell to their knees, trembling and not saying a word. The Emperor sneered, waved his hand, and the two guards bowed down and retreated. Before the emperor could open his mouth to reprimand, he heard her voice fall, and said with a slight smile: "What, is Your Majesty willing to listen to the courtiers?" β
The emperor breathed slightly, and only after a while did he reopen his mouth, and said indifferently: "I also want to know what kind of person the woman Yuan Lie is fond of, you might as well elaborate on it or two, if it is reasonable, I may spare your life!" β
Li Weiyang just smiled, her expression did not change in the slightest, and she said in a light tone: "Your Majesty has never been interested in the succession of the crown prince, but over the years, he has sent all kinds of people to wait around Yuan Lie. Didn't you want to push him to the position of prince and inherit the unification? "Ten fingers have a length, ordinary parents are still biased in treating different children, to the royal family, this eccentricity will have earth-shaking changes, just like the emperor of the Great Calendar to protect the eight princes, let the other sons fight to the death, and finally arch the eight princes to the crown prince, how the Yuexi Emperor is twisted and crazy, that piece of preference for Yuan Lie, Li Weiyang sees how true. But before today, she only had a vague premonition, but she couldn't guess it so well, but today when she heard the emperor say that she had broken something big, she couldn't help but think of the key here.
The emperor's face changed, he never mentioned this thought to anyone, and even Empress Pei lowered her guard after seeing him attack Yuan Lie on the title of King Xu.
What a Li Weiyang! Cunning!
It doesn't seem to be mediocre, but there are so many twists and turns behind it - even those who have been officials in the court for several years, I'm afraid they are not as shrewd as she is. The emperor couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "You girl really dare to say anything!" β
Li Weiyang smiled, she had already noticed that there were some very strange characters beside Yuan Lie, teaching Yuan Lie not only the deliberately vague imperial mind technique, but also some royal ways. But these people are not explicit, but if there is nothing, even Yuan Lie is suspicious but does not say anything. Maybe Yuan Lie also knew what the emperor's true intention was, but he didn't have the emperor's heart, so he never pretended not to know.
Now that the emperor wants to do something to Li Weiyang, he clearly feels that she is hindering Yuan Lie's position as emperor.
Li Weiyang said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty should know that His Royal Highness King Xu does not mean to inherit the unification, and he does not want to fight with the crown prince and get involved in the court battle. β
The emperor's brows were slightly sunken, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his mouth was as sharp as a sharp blade: "Let him!" That stupid thing! The emperor said this, but he suddenly frowned, obviously having a headache.
Li Weiyang saw that his expression was becoming more and more uncertain, and it seemed that his feelings were beginning to get out of control, and he subconsciously realized that something was wrong, his heart was slightly cold, and he just smiled on his face: "People say that the son is the most like his father, I see that the temperament of Yuan Lie and His Majesty is somewhat similar, and he would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, and I am afraid that anything can be done when it is forced to the extreme." But His Majesty can't persuade him, but I can! So, instead of killing me, you should entrap me and make me a helper to Yuanyeol, not a hindrance! β
The clever girl, do you think he will be so fooled? The emperor stared at Li Weiyang and said with a smile: "I got rid of a little Zhao Xianghe, and I flew into the sky, I don't know how many catties and taels the bones weigh!" As a woman, I don't want to teach my husband and children, but I want to play with power! You really dare to elevate yourself, you really think that you can't be a character! He snorted coldly, not knowing who he remembered, and his face became even more gloomy. In fact, he clearly saw the person he hated through Li Weiyang's face, and always felt that if he kept this woman, maybe he would be the second Empress Pei in the future! In addition, the Guo family is huge and has deep roots, if they become Yuan Lie's foreign family, one day, they will become the second Pei family! The human heart can't withstand the temptation, with one will want a hundred, and with a thatched hut you want a palace! At that time, Yuan Lie loves Li Weiyang deeply, how will he deal with himself, I am afraid that he will be willing to give up the throne!
What's more, he forced Yuan Lie to follow his pace step by step, although Yuan Lie didn't appreciate it, but this thought was seen through by a little girl, he still felt very unhappy, so he stared at Li Weiyang at the moment, and said with a cold expression: "It's not a good thing to know too much, it's smart to be smart, and it's even more stupid!" Why should I keep you? β
Li Weiyang's expression was calm, although he didn't know why the emperor's eyes were more violent, but he knew that the emperor's murderous intention had not retreated, so he tried his best to calm his tone: "As I said just now, I can help His Royal Highness King Xu." Recently, His Majesty's biggest headache is the question of the ownership of the grassland -- since the founding of the state in Yuexi, the grassland has always been a subordinate place of our dynasty, and they have paid tribute to the imperial court for hundreds of years and lived in harmony with Yuexi. Although His Majesty recommended the fifth prince to the position of the Maharaja last time, His Majesty must know very well in his heart that the five princes are cowardly by nature, and the position of the Maharaja cannot sit steadily. I heard that now the seven princes of the grassland have gathered a large number of people and horses, not to mention several battles, but also forcibly carved out a lot of fertile land, although the new prince is dissatisfied, but there is no way to take this arrogant and domineering seventh prince, so he specially asked His Majesty to ask for help, is this matter true? β
The emperor looked at Li Weiyang, and suddenly heard a "pop", the teacup on the case had fallen to the ground, the porcelain pieces were shattered, and the hot tea was splashed around, and he was angry: "It seems that your news is really well-informed, Yuan Lie has never hidden anything from you!" β
Li Weiyang's concern about the political situation has long been more than a day or two. If she wants to deal with Empress Pei and the Pei family, she naturally has to know everyone in her heart, and she has already learned about the movements of the grassland from Princess Ali. I knew that the emperor definitely didn't like her to interfere in the political situation, but now this was the best way to delay time. She smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is not worried about the Seventh Prince, but the Great Zhou forces behind him, is the courtier right?" β
The emperor's eyes were even more gloomy: "Go on!" β
If her gaze could kill, then she had already been delayed by him thousands of times. Li Weiyang's eyes were calm, and his voice was silent: "If His Majesty sends troops, he will undoubtedly meet Da Zhou head-on, which is not a good thing for Yuexi today." If the Pei family takes the opportunity to make trouble, it will cause more trouble! Therefore, His Majesty must have decided to negotiate peace. Now what worries is the condition of this peace negotiation, if His Majesty does not give up, the courtiers are willing to come up with an idea for His Majesty. She slowed down for a moment, and saw that although the emperor was angry, he was still listening, so her tone eased slightly, "Your Majesty, you can divide the grassland into two with that Great Zhou in the contract, and the two countries will take half each!" β
The chill in the emperor's eyes became heavier, but he just sneered and said: "I still think you are a smart person, but I don't want to be so stupid, if you want to divide the grassland into two, I have already done so, why wait until now!" β
After kneeling for a long time, I felt that my bones were trembling as soon as I moved. Li Weiyang just said quietly: "The courtiers heard Princess Ali mention that there is a Fengsha River on the grassland, which is the most important water source for the entire grassland. The north of the Fengsha River is rich in products and the grassland is fertile, but the south of the Fengsha River is the grassland is exhausted and bandits are rampant. As long as His Majesty takes the land north of the Fengsha River, he will definitely not suffer, and south of the Fengsha River, the so-called bandits are actually just some herdsmen who can't survive, they lack clothes and clothing, and they are naturally entangled, but it is a pity that these people are not strong enough, if His Majesty can secretly support them and provide arms and food, they must be happy to deal with the Great Circle. When the time comes, these grassland warriors who are good at riding and shooting will take the lead, and this big week will not care about anything else at all, and will only be entangled in how to calm down and suppress it all day long. β
The emperor smiled coldly and said, "Your idea is not bad, but the people of the Great Zhou are not stupid, they will not agree lightly." β
Li Weiyang shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Of course the Great Zhou will agree, because there are few rivers in their territory, and I heard that they have been plotting for the grassland for many years, with the intention of diverting water from the Fengsha River to solve the difficulties of agricultural and forestry irrigation in the northern part of the Great Zhou." In addition, there was a severe drought in the territory of Dazhou this year, grain output was greatly reduced, and the phenomenon of hoarding and living in strange places appeared in many places, and the victims of the disaster began to fluctuate and become restless. The most important purpose of the disputes they are now arising on the grassland is to divert the contradictions in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the second is to fight for the Fengsha River. This time, if His Majesty proposed in the contract that the north of the Fengsha River would be owned by our dynasty, and the south of the Fengsha River would be given up to the Great Zhou, so as to relieve them of their worries about water shortage for many years, they would naturally agree. β
The conspiracy and trickery of calculating people's hearts is just an inferior strategy, and it can't be on the big stage, so it's not a pity to kill Li Weiyang, after all, he has already prepared for Yuan Lie to really match his wife, and as soon as Li Weiyang dies, the emperor will skillfully transfer the contradiction of YiqiΔ, and will also regretfully tell SΓΉ Yuanlie that it is just a false decree of Empress Pei. Wait until the first half of the year, he will let that person appear, that woman is not only far more beautiful than Li Weiyang, but more importantly, her mind and skills are enough to assist Yuan Lie to ascend the throne in a dignified manner, and be the queen of the world. It's just ants.
But Li Weiyang can still think of this layer at a critical moment, although it is not as good as the ideal person's skills, but he is not just a stupid person who is good at ghost tricks, and the idea is also in line with the emperor's original mind - the emperor looked at Li Weiyang, his expression slowly became a little more surprised, he sat on the chair, just fell into deep thought, Li Weiyang was not in a hurry, just quietly waited for the emperor to continue to ask.
Sure enough, when the emperor saw that Li Weiyang's eyes were calm and confident, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew that she must have a trick waiting for her, and couldn't help but stare at her and said: "It seems that you gave this river to Da Zhou, not for their good, but for something else!" β
When Li Weiyang saw the emperor looking at him, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Your Majesty, the great development of water conservancy, the labor of the people and the loss of money, is not a one-time work, I am afraid that it will exhaust the Great Zhou for several years, and exhaust the strength of the whole country." β
When the emperor heard this, his heart jumped, and he stared at Li Weiyang suddenly, and suddenly laughed: "Good, good!" Sure enough, it's a smart woman. β
It's a pity, but this little cleverness is not great wisdom, and it must be dead in the end!
