It is a long distance from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to Dadu, because it is the emperor who travels, so all the way is paved with loess, and the forbidden army is three days in advance to block the road through which the imperial car will pass, and arrange people to take ten steps and a post, and the guard is very strict. On the day of the sacrifice, the emperor's motorcade was mighty, and it was already the hour in front of the dismounted monument in front of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu had been waiting here for a long time, and when the emperor's frame slowly stopped, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down three times and bowed to greet the holy car. At the same time, the bells and drums rang in unison, and the emperor stepped on the back of the eunuch and got out of the car, while everyone behind him dismounted and dismounted according to the order and etiquette. Li Weiyang stood far away, shook his look, and saw the emperor's flag of heaven in front of him fluttering in the wind, and the bright yellow color looked particularly eye-catching.

The emperor walked forward slowly, surrounded by hundreds of officials, and all the ladies followed. The custom in the West of Vietnam is that on such occasions, only the family members of officials above the third rank can participate in such grand ceremonies. In the music, the emperor moved forward steadily, and led the ministers up the mountain steadily, the wind on the mountain was very strong, and many people couldn't open their eyes, but Li Weiyang looked directly at the bright yellow figure in front of him and moved forward steadily.

I don't know when a soft voice sounded next to Li Weiyang: "Miss Guo, I hope you can keep your promise." ”

Li Weiyang turned his head sideways and saw Wang Zijin's beautiful face, her eyes moved slightly, and then she laughed: "What does Miss Wang mean by this?" ”

Wang Zijin smiled coldly and said, "I promised you to get rid of Pei Bi for you, today is the best time." ”

Li Weiyang said lightly: "In front of the public, I don't know how Miss Wang is going to do it?" Her voice is very low, and her demeanor is very leisurely, and others will only think that she is talking about the scenery with Wang Zijin.

Wang Zijin's tone was very calm: "Of course, the best way is to punish him with a capital crime!" "Such a beautiful face, but at this moment, it has a rare evil aura.

Li Weiyang said calmly: "Pei Bi was born in Pei's Mansion, ordinary sins will not let him die, can Miss Wang be sure?" ”

Wang Zijin's smile was even more beautiful, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and his lips raised: "The crime of killing the king." ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Kill the king? This is no easy task. ”

Seeing the suspicion in her expression, Wang Zijin smiled and said: "This time, Your Majesty sacrifices to the sky, all civil and military officials entering the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple must go through a detailed review, if someone finds a dagger on Pei Bi's body, then he can be punished for killing the king." Think about it, if he didn't want to assassinate His Majesty, why did he carry a dagger on his body? ”

Li Weiyang still just laughed: "It's easy to say, but it's a pity that Pei Bi is not a fool, how could he have a sharp weapon on him for no reason?" ”

Wang Zijin was not in a hurry, his eyes were slightly smiling: "This is easier to do, as long as you say that there is something wrong with him during the search, take off his clothes, and then do some tricks and feet from it, can't you do it?" ”

Li Weiyang glanced at her: "This method is good, but Pei Bi is very cautious, and I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to do it." ”

Wang Zijin looked ahead, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "It's inevitable to work hard, I have a plan for this matter, so I don't need Miss Guo to worry." ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly: "Miss Wang is in such a hurry to show favor to my Guo family, what is it for?" Is it just so that we don't get entangled in your third brother's affairs? ”

Wang Zijin nodded and said: "Not only that, then Empress Pei vainly tries to use the Wang family, of course I will give her a big gift!" Miss Guo, just wait and see. ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly when he heard this, obviously not taking all the other party's words seriously.

The prince's eyes froze, and after a slight pause, he spoke: "There must be no mistake in the sacrifice to the heavens, otherwise he will be severely punished." Every time the sacrificial majesty will order the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War to inspect together, if someone coughs, talks, laughs, or makes noise in the altar, both the clan and the officials will be involved in a copy, so as long as it is a ritual to worship the heavens, the attendants are all sincerely afraid and frightened. Last year, when His Majesty participated in the worship of the heavens, it was just because the words on the altar were not neatly written, the tablecloth was not neat enough, and there were three sky lanterns that should be hung according to the regulations, but one was missing, so he was furious and ordered an investigation. As a result, the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Luohan, the right waiter Muqing, the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Deji, the waiter Mingfeng and others were all dismissed. Among them, Mu Qing, the right attendant, was punished the most, and the whole family was assigned to the frontier after the dismissal. The inspection is so strict that there is no room for negligence, and I think I know that if a dagger is found on Pei Bi's body, he will definitely be dead. ”

Li Weiyang's gaze stayed on the other party's body for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Wang is already fully sure, then I wish you success." ”

Wang Zijin stopped, turned his head and said, "After the matter is completed, your Guo family can no longer hold on to my third brother's pigtails, and there are ......."

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "I don't know what else Miss Wang wants?" ”

Wang Zijin squinted his eyes and looked at Li Weiyang, under the sun, this Miss Guo looked calm and beautiful, like a hibiscus out of the water, which made people tremble. She smiled slightly, but said very calmly: "It's nothing, I will plan for the fight between you and me in the future." ”

Li Weiyang smiled, but didn't say anything, and then watched Wang Zijin leave suddenly.

Princess Ali next to her stepped forward and said softly: "Jia'er, I always feel that this person can't be believed casually, you have to be more careful." "Princess Ali was not on the entourage list, but later she did everything possible to ask the Duke of Qi Guo, so she came with her. But her existence is still very eye-catching.

Li Weiyang's smile became colder and colder, and his tone unconsciously added three chills: "Trust her? I never trusted her! ”

Princess Ali's heart skipped a beat, "Since you don't believe her, why are you talking to her here for so long?" ”

Li Weiyang's smile became more and more kind, but Princess Ali inexplicably felt a kind of ridicule from that smile, and before she could speak, she heard Li Weiyang say: "Princess, you see that an hour ago, the sky was still cloudy as if it was going to rain, but at this moment, the haze has disappeared, the dark clouds have dispersed, and the sky is full of sunshine, so it can be seen that today is really a good weather, maybe something good will happen!" ”

When she said this, Princess Ali stood inexplicably, feeling more and more puzzled. In the past few days, Li Weiyang, Xu Wang Yuanlie, Guo Dao, and Guo Dun didn't know what they were discussing, and they muttered all day long. Princess Ali wanted to know several times, but they regarded her as a child and never allowed her to participate, so did Wang Zijin's move really get rid of Pei Bi's hidden danger for the Guo family? She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.

At this time, the emperor had already taken the lead in entering the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and the officials behind him had to be checked one by one, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was no exception. It was very troublesome for all the civil and military officials to check, and it took an hour and a half to pass one by one, so everyone had already rushed to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple so early. There were still about two hours left before the time of the sacrifice, enough for them to check. When Pei Bi was inspected, the general in charge of the inspection really stopped him: "Pei Gongzi, please come to the side." ”

Pei Bi was stunned for a moment, and then walked up. Behind him, everyone whispered, and said in their hearts, what happened to this Pei Bi, why was he called to the side alone? But to their surprise, Pei Bi came back in just half an hour, but there was still a trace of confusion in his expression.

The person next to him asked, "Pei Gongzi, what's wrong?" ”

Pei Bi was also very surprised on the surface, but he smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that there seems to be some problems in the inventory, and it has been solved now." ”

Only then did everyone relax and enter the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple with Pei Bi. Li Weiyang saw this scene from a distance, but there was a smile in his expression. Princess Ali said: "Wang Zijin seems to be really trustworthy, she really did something to Pei Bi. ”

Li Weiyang turned his head to look at Princess Ali, and said indifferently: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you can't just look at the surface of everything. He walked away for half an hour, which did not mean that his hands and feet were passive. ”

Princess Ali became more and more surprised when she heard this, she didn't notice that the Guo brothers standing in the male guest line exchanged a look with each other, but suppressed the sneer in their eyes. But Xu Wang Yuanlie didn't know what he was thinking, and his amber eyes seemed to be watching a good show.

The emperor stepped on the stone steps of the jade road step by step, Wang Zijin looked at it from a distance, with a sneer in his eyes, Guo Jia didn't know that he was deliberately calculating her, and he was probably still complacent. This time, because of the meritorious service of offering relics, the emperor instructed the Duke of Qi to build the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and after the Buddhist temple was completed, he also praised the Duke of Qi and rewarded a lot of gifts. So if something goes wrong with this temple, the first one to be unlucky is the Duke of Qi Guo...... Therefore, Wang Zijin came up with an idea.

This time, the Ministry of Rites was in charge of the ceremony, and the Forbidden Army was in charge of the external guards. Wang Qiong has an old ministry in the forbidden army, for example, the person in charge of the investigation today is Wang Qiong's student, and he also recommended Jiang Yu, so Wang Zijin ordered Jiang Yu to think of a way to move on the royal road, the emperor walked all the way, the outside looked calm, but in fact, there was a hidden mechanism under the royal road, but it was very delicately done, and outsiders would never see it. When the emperor passes, the mechanism will shrink in, and the emperor will naturally fall, and it will definitely not fall lightly, even if he has martial arts, he will never think that the flat ground will collapse completely, and once it succeeds, the mechanism will automatically burn, so that people can't find the handle. Think about it, this imperial road and the entire Ten Thousand Buddha Temple were built by you, Qi Guogong, why did there be a problem with the imperial road that His Majesty walked? It is clear that you, the Duke of Qi Guo, have the intention to murder the emperor, and this crime does not have to be decided by the emperor, and it can be handed over to the three law divisions for punishment at that time.

The last time, Wang Zijin was dissatisfied with Li Weiyang's behavior, and the Guo family deliberately exaggerated her brother's behavior outside, so she had to abandon the pawn and let her father tie up the third brother to enter Beijing to face the saint, and ask for His Majesty's forgiveness for his guilt. This matter is a great shame in the eyes of a proud person like Wang Zijin, how can she not trouble the Guo family? She must get this account back, and it is a thousandfold and a hundred times more to get it back. was convicted of killing the king, even if the Duke of Qi has always been deeply favored, and there are Guo Guifei and His Royal Highness King Jing circling in the palace, it will be very troublesome.

She watched straight as the Emperor walked up the royal road step by step, and soon the place was about to arrive...... Twenty steps, fifteen steps, ten steps, five steps...... It's here!

The emperor walked all the way up, but the dragon and tiger steps were very steady, Wang Zijin's face changed, and before he knew it, the emperor had already walked through that place, and there were no accidents at all.

Wang Zijin stood there, her eyes showed a look of disbelief, and even her body trembled slightly, and then she slowly calmed down, thinking in her heart that after the mechanism was manufactured, she didn't know how many times she had tried it, and the effect was good, and she would do it if she was foolproof, but why did it fail now? No, it can't be! How could it be like this, when he designed it himself? Beads of sweat soaked from the tip of Wang Zijin's nose, and she kept staring at the royal path until she heard a voice next to her.

"Why is Miss Wang's eyes so strange?" Wang Zijin turned his head sharply and saw Li Weiyang's smiling face, and the young lady of the Guo family looked concerned under the sun, as if she was very concerned about herself.

Wang Zijin gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed the huge fluctuations in his heart and said, "I'm nothing, it's just that I've been in the sun for a long time, and my head is a little dizzy." ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly, at this time the two of them stood together, and everyone else cast surprised eyes, after all, in the eyes of everyone, they are all rivals in love, and they should not be so affectionate, but Li Weiyang did not see the slightest abnormality on his face, and even said very gently: "It seems that the organ needs to be repaired well, so that it will not fail at a critical moment." ”

Wang Zijin's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she stared at Li Weiyang in disbelief and said, "It's you?" ”

Li Weiyang's smile became more and more calm, but there was a trace of cold chill in his crystal-clear eyes: "Miss Wang, before harming others, think about whether your means are enough!" I've noticed it from the time you started it. What a pity! One move is missing, just a little bit worse! If His Majesty falls down, he will definitely investigate my Guo Mansion for the crime of killing the king. Even if it is not so strict, it is a great disrespect or dereliction of duty to the royal family, and when the time comes, it will be a raid on the family, and a heavy will be exterminated, which just achieves Miss Wang's wish. Now this result, Miss Wang must be very disappointed, right? ”

Wang Zijin was dressed in gorgeous clothes at the moment, but her sleeves were wet with sweat, and the cold wind was blowing, and her whole person had an illusion that she was about to freeze, looking at Li Weiyang, her lips moved, but she didn't say a word. Li Weiyang said calmly: "Such a mechanism should have been used on the battlefield, but Miss Wang used it to frame Zhongliang, if the Great Grandmaster knew that his beloved disciple had ruined his hard work so much, I am afraid I don't know how angry he would be." ”

When Wang Zijin heard Li Weiyang mention his master, he couldn't help but jump in his heart and said, "Guo Jia, what do you want to say?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled, his eyes burning even more in the sun: "Miss Wang, I'll have to watch a good show later, don't worry." ”

When Wang Zijin heard this, her heart became more and more anxious, she subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but Li Weiyang unexpectedly grabbed her wrist, Wang Zijin said coldly: "Let go!" ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Why is Miss Wang so anxious? I've said it all, I'll invite you to the play later. ”

Wang Zijin gritted his teeth and said, "I'll let you let me go!" ”

Li Weiyang stood there motionless: "Miss Wang, I advise you not to act rashly, you must know that this is in full view, I am kind enough to support you because you are dizzy, don't lose your demeanor in front of the palace!" ”

Wang Zijin's eyes showed a trace of jealousy, she didn't expect that this Guo Jia looked calm and graceful, nothing special, but at the critical moment, it was such a ruthless character, what did she mean by "having a play"?

At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had already stopped in front and said in a loud voice: "The ritual begins." So the emperor offered incense and saluted, took the lead in kneeling, and knelt all over the ground behind him. Then the emperor stood up again and continued to walk, passing through the main hall of the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and finally arrived at the sacrificial furnace in the square. A gust of wind blew, and the emperor coughed lightly, took the wine offered by the Ministry of Rites, slowly raised his hand, and scattered in front of the sacrificial furnace. According to the custom, the emperor will enshrine the Buddhist scriptures written by himself in front of the ancestors' spirits, and pray to the Buddha for the common people, which is an important part of the ritual of worshiping the heavens. Wang Zijin's heart moved, and he couldn't help but say: "Guo Jia, what do you want to do in this situation now?" ”

Li Weiyang said lightly: "Miss Wang will know later." ”

Wang Zijin couldn't help but want to break free of Li Weiyang's hand, but he didn't know why although the other party's hand was as cold as ice, it was extremely powerful, and she couldn't break free for a while. She wanted to use her internal force to shake Li Weiyang away, but she heard Li Weiyang smile and say: "If I am injured here, everyone will inevitably wonder what Miss Wang has done, if I am you, it is better to stand here well, so as not to implicate the upper body, then it will be a big deal!" ”

Of course, Wang Zijin didn't dare to do it in front of everyone, you must know that none of those people in the Guo family are vegetarians, thinking of Guo Dun's martial arts and Guo Dao's intelligence, Wang Zijin sighed and said: "Okay, just count me if I lose to you!" Miss Guo, this time I was wrong, please let go. ”

Li Weiyang let go of his hand, and Wang Zijin was about to turn around and leave, but he heard her chuckle and say, "Look at it carefully, Miss Wang, you still have to learn more." ”

Wang Zijin was stunned for a moment, but at this time there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, it turned out that somehow a little sacrificial incense ash suddenly flew out of the furnace, landed on the robe of the king of Fenyang, and suddenly burned, the king of Fenyang screamed, his fat body fell to the ground, and he said loudly: "Fight the fire, quickly put out the fire!" Immediately someone rushed at him, but the king of Fenyang rolled on the ground several times, almost alarming everyone, but the fire on his body burned bigger and bigger, almost burning half of his robe. The guards rushed forward, and with great difficulty extinguished the fire on him, and before they could help him up, they heard someone exclaim, "Oh my God! What is it? ”

Everyone turned around, but saw that the crowd suddenly dispersed, only Pei Bi standing in the middle was revealed, Pei Bi stood with a pale face, looking at the dagger on the ground one step away from him in disbelief, someone pointed at Pei Bi and said loudly: "He is carrying a sharp weapon, and he must have the intention of assassinating His Majesty!" Catch him! ”

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, today is the sacrificial ceremony of His Majesty, except for the forbidden army, no one can carry the slightest sharp weapon on his body, but after a lot of investigation just now, why does Pei Bi have this dagger on his body?

Wang Zijin immediately turned his head, stared at Li Weiyang and said coldly: "I see! ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said: "Miss Wang thinks she is a praying mantis, and she is familiar with the truth that the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches. As early as when you instructed that person to deliberately stop Pei Bi from making a scene, I had already ordered someone to do something, and I knew that you were trying to make me mistakenly think that Pei Bi had a dagger hidden on his body in order to win my trust. But General Jiang is in a high position and has responsibilities, so of course he will not do it himself. A lieutenant general beside him volunteered, oh, Miss Wang probably doesn't know, this lieutenant is a good friend of my third brother Guo Cheng...... It is necessary to know that the ceremonial clothes worn by the priests are overlapped and overlapped, and they are not usually noticed. Pei Bi must have gotten your news early in the morning and trusted you very much, so he let me find such an opportunity. ”

Wang Zijin shook his head and said, "No, it won't!" Jiang Yu is a smart person, he will never give you such a chance to do it on Pei Bi! What adjutant general said is even more impossible! ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Miss is really smart, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of one or two eyeliner, but you saw through it...... It's just that whether I hid the dagger on Pei Bi's body, or ordered someone to deliberately hit him to hit the dagger, it depends on Miss Wang's own guess. If everything is what you expected, then it's not fun. ”

Wang Zijin's face became extremely ugly, she looked at Li Weiyang, she couldn't say a word for half a day, no one has ever been able to play with her in applause since she was a child, this Miss Guo Mansion is really amazing. She sneered and said, "I finally understand why the Pei family is so jealous of you, you are indeed a powerful opponent, worthy of my admiration!" ”

Li Weiyang didn't show the slightest pride because of the other party's praise, she just said flatly: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if Miss Wang is not harmful to me, why should I treat you like this?" ”

Wang Zijin was extremely angry, but he could only press it down, and said with a smile: "Miss Guo is really good at talking, once you hurt someone, you won't be given the slightest way out." ”

At this time, I heard the emperor say angrily: "Pei Bi, what is your intention to carry a dagger?" ”

Pei Bi fell to his knees with a thud, and he shook as well, his eyebrows full of horror. Naturally, someone around the emperor shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, Pei Bi openly brought a sharp weapon to participate in the ceremony, he must have the intention of rebellion!" ”

The emperor was just about to speak, but he felt a headache like a hinge, and he said sharply: "Good you Pei Bi, I treat you well, and you dare to kill the king!" ”

Pei Bi sweated like rain, almost speechless, he didn't expect that this good drama carefully planned with Wang Zijin, but the victim became himself, he knew that he shouldn't have believed in women! The women in this world are as cunning as foxes, and they can't be relied on at all! He turned his head sharply to look at Wang Zijin, and his eyes almost erupted with fire: You betrayed me.

Wang Zijin looked at him coldly, but his expression did not move, Pei Bi did not have the slightest evidence to prove that the Wang family colluded with him, let alone betrayed? I just made a short-term deal with him to jointly deal with Guo Fu, when did they become friends? Don't forget that last time, Pei Bi also wanted to rob the princess and frame the Wang family...... Since they are not friends, let alone betrayal, it is simply ridiculous!

The emperor was so furious that he dared to stab him during the sacrificial ceremony, which was by no means a sin that could be forgiven. Of course, there were also officials of the Pei clan next to him who hurriedly came out to plead: "Your Majesty! Pei Gongzi definitely didn't mean it, this must have been deliberately framed. ”

Qi Guogong said coldly: "Lord Xia is wrong, who would frame him for no reason, it's just that he has a grudge against His Majesty because he hasn't paid back the money from the household department recently, so he will intend to assassinate him." Lord Xia, I advise you not to exonerate such a criminal before the investigation, otherwise you will be punished for the same crime. ”

Lord Xia was taken aback, glared at Qi Guogong and said, "Grandpa Guo, when you say such a thing, do you mean that I have colluded with the Pei family?" ”

Qi Guogong smiled faintly and said, "This is what you said, Lord Xia, I don't mean anything else." ”

The crown prince stood up at this moment and said loudly: "Father, the son believes that Pei Bi will never have such a big burden, the so-called carrying of sharp weapons must be someone who is trying to make a hindrance, please give your son a few days, let me investigate it well, and I will definitely give my father a satisfactory explanation." ”

King Jing sneered and said, "How important is the sacrificial ceremony! Who doesn't know that whether it is a civil and military official or a court wife, you must not carry any sharp weapons on your body! If it weren't for the accident that happened just now, we wouldn't have known that someone coveted my father's life. Pei Bi knew that he had broken the law, and it was clearly a deliberate assassination! His Royal Highness the Prince, as the son of your father, you don't care about your father's safety at all, you only think about protecting the Pei family, what are your intentions? ”

The prince's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Father, the son has no such intention!" ”

King Jing said lightly: "Maybe Pei Bi brought this dagger into the palace at the behest of some people, so the prince defended him like this!" ”

This means that what Pei Bi did was instigated by himself! The crown prince turned his head sharply and scolded King Jing sharply: "King Jing! Don't talk nonsense here! ”

King Jing smiled slightly, and said to the emperor: "Father, it is already a matter for everyone to carry a sharp weapon, but the prince has been quibbling for him, I don't know what his intentions are, please ask my father to investigate this matter strictly, don't indulge such murderers!" ”

Qi Guogong and several other officials also stepped forward and asked His Majesty to severely punish Pei Bi in order to set an example. Indeed, the ritual of worshipping the heavens is so important that how can it be allowed to carry sharp weapons on people in vain attempts? If the emperor forgives him, then he will really become a tiger made of paper, and anyone can assassinate him in the future. Although Pei Bi didn't really assassinate today, carrying a sharp weapon was already a big crime, and the emperor sneered: "Besides Pei Bi, who is the official in charge of the inspection today?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu hurriedly stepped out of the queue and knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty, it's Weichen." ”

The emperor looked at him, and several sharp swords seemed to shoot out of his gaze: "You are in charge of the investigation today, how can you let people enter the palace with sharp weapons?" ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, his back was almost wet with sweat, he knelt there and kept kowtowing, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is Weichen who has failed to check for a while, please forgive your Majesty!" ”

The emperor's gaze became more and more cold, and his eyes swept over the faces of the crown prince, King Jing, Duke Qi, Wang Qiong and all the courtiers one by one, Wang Zijin's heart couldn't help but rise, Jiang Yu was sponsored by her father at the beginning, she thought of this and turned her head to look at Li Weiyang, and then she knew the true intention of the other party.

Sure enough, Qi Guogong said coldly: "Jiang Yu, as the general in charge of the investigation this time, you would actually let go of such a person!" No, I vaguely remember that just now you deliberately pulled this person aside, it should have been carefully checked, why did he still carry a sharp weapon on him? ”

Jiang Yu's face was even paler, he didn't expect things to develop to this point, he hurriedly looked at Wang Qiong, hoping that he could save himself. Wang Qiong came out and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen can vouch for Jiang Yu, he will definitely not do such a thing!" ”

The King of Qin and the King of Jin had nothing to do with themselves, they were all hanging high and looking at them coldly.

King Jing sneered and said, "This may not be! General Wang, Jiang Yu is your student and an official you sponsored, and I want to know that you will definitely protect him in many ways. If Jiang Yu didn't have a ghost in his heart, why did he call Pei Bi aside? Since it has been carefully examined, why does Pei Bi have a dagger on his body, isn't it a contradiction? It is clear that the two of them have colluded with the intention of assassinating His Majesty! Lord Wang, are you guilty of protecting such a person? ”

Wang Qiong was robbed of the white by King Jing, even if he was scheming, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, and he knew that he couldn't get out of today's matter anyway, even if he didn't stand up just now, no one would believe him, because Jiang Yu could be regarded as his closed disciple, and he single-handedly sponsored him to enter the forbidden army. Not only him, but even the commander of the forbidden army may be reprimanded. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, where did Jiang Yu get such boldness, he was only fooled by Pei Bi for a while, he must not have colluded with this traitor, please be aware of it!" ”

The emperor looked at these princes and then at all the courtiers, and suddenly sneered and said, "Good, good, good!" You people are playing tricks like a monkey, one by one, and you don't know what you're planning behind your back! ”

Li Weiyang looked at this scene and smiled, this is the bitter fruit you have planted, if you hadn't been supporting the Wang family and intending to use them to contain the Guo family, why would it have developed to this point? Now that the Wang family has been dragged into the water by you, how are you going to play this play? As an emperor, you should know that you must punish when you should punish, otherwise it will only mess up the rules.

Today, Pei Bi carrying a dagger to the palace is already a must to die, even if Jiang Yu can remove the charge of collusion, he will be guilty of failure to investigate after all. And Wang Qiong was the one who recommended Jiang Yu, not to mention that he stood up to escort Jiang Yu just now. Even if he didn't stand up, the wrong recommendation would have dragged him into the water. So these three people are now grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run away from anyone, the only difference is only the severity of the crime, and they want to escape punishment, unless the emperor deliberately favors ...... But if he is partial, then no one will obey his orders in the future, and this is a difficult problem to solve. Li Weiyang deliberately wanted to embarrass the emperor and deliberately anger him, who made him embarrassed with himself? If you don't give him some bets, how can you be worthy of your unhappiness these days......

Wang Zijin sneered, looked at Li Weiyang and said softly: "Miss Guo is really not ordinary, even the official system of our dynasty is so understanding. ”

Li Weiyang smiled, there is a joint sitting system in Yuexi, and everyone must take responsibility when recommending talents, but no one dares to guarantee that their recommendations are true and objective, so if it is not related to interests, everyone will not have nothing to do and risk recommending irrelevant people, which has prompted the talent selection system to become a nepotism system. The people recommended either their protégés or relatives. Over time, in addition to those who have risen through the imperial examination system, all the big families in power and the civil and military officials have their own small circles and different communities of interests.

If there is an official who commits a crime, the person who promoted him in the first place is responsible...... Jiang Yu was picked up by Wang Qiong, it can be said that he is his cronies, this time Jiang Yu made a mistake, of course Wang Qiong will be unlucky. Wang Zijin shook her head, she finally realized that what Guo Jia was really powerful about was not her methods, but also her snooping on people's hearts. In this play, she grasped her own mind, Pei Bi's mind, and even the mind of the high emperor! There are so many of them, and they were actually tricked by such a young woman! Thanks to her Wang Zijin, she thinks she is smart and talented, but after all, she is just a pawn in the hands of the other party. At this moment, Wang Zijin deeply understood Li Weiyang's scheming, which was almost chilling. She stared at the other party, trying her best to restrain the trembling in her heart: "Do you think that this can put our Wang family to death?" ”

The corner of Li Weiyang's lips smiled slightly: "When Miss Wang designed this out, she actually knew that even if my father was convicted, others would try their best to help him get rid of the crime, and the Guo family would just be hit hard, but there would be no danger of extermination." Similarly, the same is true for the Wang family, if I really wanted to put the Wang family to death, it would not have been so easy just now. ”

Wang Zijin couldn't suppress a sneer: "Although it's not a place to be killed, it's almost the same, if you were a little more ruthless just now, now none of us can escape." ”

When Wang Zijin said this, he was clear about the choice that His Majesty would make next, and sure enough, he heard the emperor say coldly: "Escort Pei Bi to the heavenly prison, Jiang Yu will be cut to the people and exiled for three thousand miles." As for Wang Qiong......"

The emperor paused slightly when he said this, Wang Qiong couldn't help but tremble, only to hear the emperor say coldly: "Punish me for one year, and order me to think about it behind closed doors for three months." ”

Wang Qiong lowered her head, okay...... After all, His Majesty has no heavy responsibility, but this time the Wang family is also disgraced!

Pei Bi was escorted down before he even had time to defend himself, and when the forbidden army escorted him past Li Weiyang, Pei Bi suddenly sneered, and his eyes shot extremely resentful: "This time it can be regarded as what you want." He stared at Wang Zijin again, and became more and more angry in his heart, but it was a pity that he had no evidence to show it, otherwise he would never let go of this woman who betrayed him!

Li Weiyang didn't speak, just smiled slightly, Pei Bi didn't have a chance to stay any longer, so he was escorted out. And although Jiang Yu did what Wang Zijin said, but at this critical moment, he couldn't betray the young lady of the palace, if he even dragged the Wang family into the water together, there was no one to rescue him, so he quietly and let people escort him down without saying a word.

A rally to the heavens was already panicking by now, but the emperor turned around and said loudly: "Complete all the rituals this time according to the normal procedures." ”

Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry when they heard this, but they didn't dare to say anything, and meticulously completed the ceremony according to the original plan. When the emperor stepped into the dragon and drove away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and whispered one after another.

The crown prince sneered and said, "King Jing, you are really calculating!" ”

King Jing smiled slightly, and said to the prince: "Brother Gong to the prince!" The prince's eyes became even more resentful, and he strode away without looking back.

As soon as the ceremony ended, King Xu Yuanlie, who was originally standing in the crowd, immediately walked over to Li Weiyang, Wang Zijin looked at him coldly, and said lightly: "Miss Guo, you and I have a grudge because of His Royal Highness King Xu, but in essence, there is no hatred between us, do you say?" ”

Li Weiyang didn't know what the other party's intention was when she suddenly mentioned this, she just smiled and said, "Does Miss Wang have anything else to say?" I thought that after just now, you were going to completely break with the Guo family. ”

At this time, Yuan Lie was already surrounded by the crowd, and many people stopped him and intended to ask His Majesty's intentions, you must know that His Majesty's favor for Yuan Lie is very favorable, and everyone wants to find out more about the emperor's preferences from him. Now that the Pei family is even the last descendant is gone, everyone vaguely feels that the direction of the wind is about to change, so they don't care about Yuan Lie's eccentric and irritable personality, but they still surround him. Yuan Lie was angry but couldn't attack, so he could only watch Li Weiyang wave his hand from a distance, and at this time, Wang Zijin continued to say: "The most important reason why I dealt with the Guo family is that you spread rumors about my third brother before. ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "It's not a rumor, it's a fact!" What's more, I did this because your third brother dared to make trouble in front of Guo's house, is it really my Guo family a place where you can come and go freely? ”

Wang Zijin smiled faintly and said: "Yes or no, this is all in the past, I hope that Miss Guo will not target the Wang family again in the future." ”

Li Weiyang's heart was like glass, and he understood it in an instant: "It depends on Miss Wang's appearance, whether you want to continue to cooperate with Queen Pei, or turn the rudder and consider cooperating with me." ”

Wang Zijin sneered and said: "Cooperating with Empress Pei is to seek skin with the tiger, what are the benefits of cooperating with you?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "At least there is no danger of extermination. ”

Wang Zijin's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but say, "What does this mean?" ”

Li Weiyang said calmly: "You helped Empress Pei destroy the Guo family, but made Empress Pei realize the strength of the palace. I also want to know that when the crown prince ascends the throne, naturally the government will be controlled by Empress Pei, will she allow your Wang family to be arrogant at that time? Your relationship with Empress Pei is not short, don't you have the slightest understanding of her personality? The so-called cunning rabbit is cooked by a dead lackey, the Guo family is slaughtered, and the one she wants to deal with is you, Miss Wang is so smart, shouldn't she know it? Or do you think she will make you a concubine, so you deliberately ignore it? ”

Wang Zijin gritted her teeth, why didn't she know? It's just that she is not convinced, where is she not as good as Li Weiyang, why would Yuan Lie rather choose her than herself? People's hearts and minds are a selfish technique, if it is used in the harem and court, it will only disturb the court, and there is no benefit to the country and the people. So she can't forgive anyway! In the final analysis, Wang Zijin is a self-esteem, she feels that Xu Wang Yuanlie has humiliated her dignity, so she has to get back Yicheng and prove to him that Guo Jia is inferior to her. But now her behavior has become a kind of counter-evidence, her Wen Taowu has learned that this conspiracy has made the perfect Guo Jia useless, how can she not be annoyed? Today she was not only defeated, but also defeated, and there was no turning back.

Seeing the ugly look on Wang Zijin's face, Li Weiyang knew what she was thinking, and she smiled: "Miss Wang doesn't have to feel embarrassed, it's just that the ruler is short and the inch is long, and when I get to the battlefield, I have to bow down." But when it comes to this kind of manipulation, you should be modest. ”

Wang Zijin didn't want to say more, just turned his head and walked out. Li Weiyang didn't say much when he saw that the persuasion was ineffective, but turned around and went down the steps. After a while, Yuan Lie caught up with Li Weiyang, and he said, "Why don't you wait for me?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled in his eyes, but said angrily: "Didn't you see that I was dealing with my rival?" ”

Yuan Lie was taken aback, glanced back at Wang Zijin's back, and said, "She? Don't make fun of me anymore. ”

Li Weiyang coughed: "It's all the trouble you brought me, if you don't refuse to marry in court that day......" She was halfway through her words but felt that she was a little angry when she said this, in fact, whether Yuan Lie refused to marry in court or not, as long as he refused to marry Wang Zijin, this was a dead knot that could not be untied. Wang Zijin is arrogant, and she will not forgive Yuan Lie lightly no matter what. But then again, there is nothing wrong with Won Yeol, do you want to force him to marry a woman he doesn't like? Probably only an emperor in this world can do such a stupid thing so justifiably.

Yuan Lie's eyes flashed, and he said indifferently: "The weather is so good today, let's not go back immediately, I'll take you out for a walk." ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly, and was about to say something when he heard Princess Ali say, "Stepping into the green? Okay, I'm going too! Before she finished her words, she heard Guo Dun laugh and said: "Where it is lively, you are indispensable there, if you want to go, let's go together!" ”

Guo Cheng smiled: "I'm not going, I still have to send Han Lin back." Everyone booed, he smiled embarrassedly, and took his leave first.

Guo Dao urged narrowly: "You are all in pairs, only I am alone, or-" He turned his head and suddenly said thoughtfully, "Why don't I chase that Miss Wang back, let's go together?" ”

Li Weiyang looked at him with three points of ridicule, and couldn't help sighing: "I look at her eyes and look at you much more resentful than I look at me, what did you do?" ”

Director Guo spread his hands and said: "I didn't do anything, but I asked her a fortune-telling question last time, and she got angry, you see that a woman's heart is really small!" ”

When Li Weiyang heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Yes, this Miss Wang is arrogant, and her heart is really not big, but women have the right to be careful, don't you say, fifth brother?" ”

Li Weiyang's mind turned back and forth, and he accidentally went around it! Hearing that she seemed to be testing herself, Director Guo touched her head and deliberately pretended not to understand: "I can't afford to serve such a young lady, let's go, let's go out!" ”

Princess Ali almost cheered, Guo Dun hurriedly grabbed her, and sighed: "I didn't take you out if I knew it wouldn't have been, and I didn't look at what occasion it was now, there was such a big thing just now, if you were so happy, wouldn't others know that this matter has something to do with us?" ”

Princess Ali was stunned and said, "It has something to do with us?" What does what just happened to us? ”

The other four people couldn't help but laugh when they looked at her, such an innocent and romantic princess of the grassland, she really didn't know anything about the world, and she still didn't understand what happened just now. Li Weiyang turned his head to look at the incense burner on the altar, but he smiled slightly, if you don't kill people, you just don't kill people, once you open the killing ring, you will have to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, this matter is not over......
