There was a lot of excitement over there, and Princess Ali quietly pursed her mouth and said, "Look, this prince is so proud!" Now I'm afraid that everyone knows that she is both civil and military, and she is a first-class daughter. ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "Individuals have their own fate, so why should Princess Ali care!" ”

Princess Ali was very surprised, she always felt that Li Weiyang was too indifferent, as if she didn't care about anything. Then she lowered her eyes and saw the table in front of her. On the table is a circle of pale cyan porcelain plates, lined up with delicacies, although porcelain is equipped with a gold bowl lid inlaid with agate gemstones, and a plate of red gold, and chopsticks inlaid with jade to match. It looked extremely extravagant, and this kind of pomp and circumstance was something that Princess Ali had never seen before.

Looking at Princess Ali's admiring look, Li Weiyang said with a smile: "This majesty is no longer a luxury, I heard that at the time of the first emperor, fireworks were lit for three days and three nights at every banquet, and a flowing water table was set up in front of the palace square, and the candle oil flowed all over the ground every time he left the table." ”

Princess Ali frowned slightly: "What's the benefit of such luxury?" It's just a waste of people's fat and people's ointment. ”

Li Weiyang didn't expect Princess Ali to be able to say such a thing, she looked at each other and looked approving: "If the future emperor can think like you, then the people of the world will be blessed." ”

Ali glanced at the direction of the prince: "It's a pity that I see that the extravagance of this prince is better than that of today's majesty, if he becomes the emperor one day, I don't know how far to put this pomp!" ”

When Li Weiyang heard this, her smile deepened, and she said softly: "There are no absolutes in everything, you see him rise a tall building, but you can't see when this tall building will collapse, who can know what we will encounter in the future?" ”

Princess Ali couldn't help but think thoughtfully: "Jia'er, I haven't been able to see through your mind. You seem to be supporting King Jing, but you are always indifferent to him from beginning to end, do you really want to watch the crown prince ascend the throne? Even if I don't understand government politics, I know that this is not a good thing for the Guo family! ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said with a soft expression: "Princess Ali, whether it is the crown prince or King Jing, there is no difference between right and wrong and good and evil in their competition for the throne, and what difference does it make to me who is the emperor." Although King Jing and the Guo family are related by blood, neither my parents nor I have proposed to stand on King Jing's side. If they want to fight, fight, or rob, let them go, let's just watch quietly. She said this, but she didn't finish half of it. I'm afraid the battle between the crown prince and King Jing is only on the surface, and there are still countless people behind him who covet that dragon chair, and the emperor is bent on wanting Yuan Lie to succeed to the throne, I'm afraid it's not so easy!

At this time, the palace maids rushed in, holding a golden tray in their hands, holding almond bergamot, crispy apple, jade chicken shreds, crystal elbow flowers, eight treasure wild ducks, bergamot gold rolls, fried cuttlefish shreds...... It's all well-prepared delicacies, and the table is full. During the banquet, there are more beautiful dancing girls to perform, the sound of warblers and swallows dance, very lively, a peaceful and prosperous scene!

At this moment, a blue-clothed eunuch came up to the hall and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Great Calendar asks to see you." ”

Everyone was silent at the same time, and the emperor's eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "Let him come to the palace." ”

Suddenly, the dancers retreated gently, the musicians stopped playing, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on the entrance of the main hall, and in a short time, they saw a red-robed official walking up quickly.

Li Weiyang recognized this person at a glance as a very trusted staff member by Tuoba Yu's side back then, Xie Kang. It's just that this Xie Kang was only a Han Shi in the Seven Princes' Mansion back then. Now, he is already a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the so-called son of heaven and a courtier are nothing more than that.

Xie Shangshu walked in front of the emperor, bowed, and said, "See His Majesty the Emperor of Yuexi, I specially bring a gift at the behest of my majesty to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday." As he spoke, his body trembled unconsciously, and his expression was a little strange, obviously apprehensive and fearful of this mission.

Li Weiyang glanced at Xie Shangshu, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and Princess Ali said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

In an instant, Li Weiyang had a not-so-good premonition. Sure enough, when the gift box was opened, everyone shouted softly, and inside the red brocade box, there was a wild goose lying quietly, with its wings hanging low to cover its head and neck, and it had lost its breath and became a specimen, looking very pitiful.

This scene shocked everyone, and immediately some people were furious, got up and scolded: "Bold! What does your Emperor Dali mean, that you dare to give such a gift to touch His Majesty's mold? ”

The wild goose is the meaning of eternal friendship, and the wild goose is symbolized among the many gifts sent by countries when diplomatic relations are established. But now the emperor of the Great Calendar sent a dead goose, which is obviously to embarrass the emperor, no wonder this Xie Shangshu looks frightened, the gift sent by his monarch this time is clearly to completely break off diplomatic relations, and even humiliate the Yuexi royal family in public.

A sneer immediately appeared on Emperor Yuexi's lips, and there was a solemn anger in his eyes, and finally the corners of his lips were pulled, and the anger was clear: "A hairy boy, who has not yet sat on the throne, dares to provoke in public, what a big boldness!" ”

Tuoba Yu is a generation shorter than Emperor Yuexi according to his seniority, but he dared to give such a birthday gift today, making it clear that he did not put the emperor in his eyes. Not to mention that the relationship between the two countries has already dropped to the freezing point these days, if Tuoba Yu really gave a generous gift, it could be eased, but he actually sent a dead goose! Xie Shangshu's face was covered with sweat, and he also wanted to hold on to a strong appearance, but he felt a deep fear from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but lower his voice by three points: "Your Majesty, the gift is delivered, please forgive Weichen for retiring." ”

As he spoke, he turned around to leave, but the prince already sneered and said angrily: "Don't stop him yet!" ”

Immediately, a guard stopped at the entrance of the hall, Xie Shangshu turned around, obviously the muscles of his face were trembling, but he still laughed and said: "Yuexi is a big country, and it should have the power of a big country!" The two countries are still at war, not to mention the ...... I, I am just sending a gift box on my order to the emperor, and if His Majesty blames me for this, I am a small official. Then everyone in the world will laugh at His Majesty for not having a tolerant heart, and he has really lost the bearing of a great monarch! ”

As soon as he said this, it was clear that he was suing everyone. If the Emperor of Yuexi wanted to kill him, it would be an old example of the two countries competing with each other, and it would also make people laugh.

Everyone's faces became ugly, they didn't expect that the emperor of the Great Calendar had not yet sat on the dragon chair, and the first thing he did was to send people to demonstrate. Although the western part of the country had expelled the merchants of the Great Calendar, at least there was no war between the two countries. At the moment, it seems that this war is no longer inevitable.

The prince sneered: "Today is my father's birthday feast, the day of celebration all over the world, you dare to give such a gift, it is obviously a deliberate provocation!" In this case, even if I kill you, what's not to do? Deliberately indulge you, you will make people laugh, I have no one in the west! ”

He was just about to order someone to take down Xie Shangshu, but suddenly heard Emperor Yuexi raise his hand and say, "No need, let him go." ”

Everyone looked at the emperor and was very surprised, how could a person who kills people at every turn become so merciful.

Li Weiyang shook his head slightly, the battle between the two countries must be reflected in the military, not in the killing of a mere envoy, no matter how arrogant and unreasonable this envoy is, if you kill him, you will already lose the prestige of a great country, which in itself is extremely disadvantageous, Xie Shangshu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then quietly retreated.

The crown prince frowned, revealing a somewhat displeased expression. But Empress Pei smiled slightly, lowered her head and gently raised a wine glass and took a sip, looking leisurely.

The emperor watched the envoy leave, and said in a loud voice: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have been committed to promoting the virtues of my Emperor Taizu, comforting my father and emperor, and claiming to be a wise king. Although I have had bad luck over the years, and I have encountered natural and man-made disasters every year, I still do my best to be a good monarch. It's a pity that the neighboring countries are uneasy and ready to move. I have just received a secret report, saying that Dali is outside the border pass to set up a camp, and it seems that he has the intention of attacking. Just now, the emperor of the Great Calendar, who had just ascended the throne, actually sent another dead goose to provoke! Today, I take this opportunity to discuss with all my ministers whether to issue an edict to send troops to the calendar, strike first, and protect the safety of our society! ”

Hearing such a statement, everyone was dumbfounded, no one started for a while, and there was a cold scene, they never thought that an envoy of the Great Calendar would make the emperor have the intention of making a big war, and even took the initiative to mention it.

Pei showed a faint smile behind him, and quietly took everyone's expressions into his eyes.

The emperor saw that everyone was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't help but suddenly change the tone of his original speech, and there was a trace of strange cordiality in his tone: "If you ministers have any suggestions, you might as well play them in court, I have words first, and those who speak are not guilty, I will naturally accept my advice and choose the good and obey!" You don't have to have any scruples, it's okay to be outspoken! ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and the emperor suddenly had the intention of raising troops, was this a temptation, or did he have other intentions?

The crown prince's brows furrowed, although the emperor let the envoy go just now, it did not mean that he would not be angry. In particular, the messenger humiliated Yuexi in public for sending such a dead goose, according to his father's temperament, he must have suppressed his extreme anger, and it must be true that he was going to war.

Empress Pei's gaze swept lightly over the emperor's face, revealing a gentle and beautiful smile, but her eyes were unwarm.

Seeing that no one spoke, the emperor couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "If you don't say anything at this banquet this time, but whisper behind your back, once you let me investigate, you can only be punished for the crime of bullying the king!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the military department Shangshu had already stood up, and just now Empress Pei had already glanced at him, and the military department Shangshu immediately understood, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say!" ”

Naturally, the emperor asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

The military department Shangshu was very familiar with the military situation, and knelt there and said loudly: "Weichen thinks that it is not suitable for our country to use troops in this matter. As the implication of His Majesty shows that in the past ten years, one-third of China's provinces have suffered natural disasters, floods or droughts, and the people have to rely on the imperial court to live, and there are also individual provinces that need to be pacified by the army for rebellion, so it can be said that natural disasters and man-made disasters have seriously depleted our country's national strength, and also affected the military morale and morale of the imperial court. If the war against the Great Calendar was to be waged at this time, with the current situation of the army, it would not be possible to fight a quick battle. And if the fight lasts for a long time, it will require a large amount of food, grass, military salaries, and soldiers. Once the supply is insufficient, one is not conducive to the war, and the other is the people's mind. Therefore, the ministers dare to recommend the king, and do not send troops! ”

The emperor's eyebrows frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he was faintly angry, and the heart of the military department was beating, but he had already received the queen's eyes just now, and he had to say these words.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wang Qiong, the general of Zhendong, take the lead and say: "The military department is not right, since the Great Calendar has already stationed troops on the border, if we still have to sit idly by, wouldn't it be irresponsible to the people on the border." Once they raise troops on a large scale, I am afraid that it will cause endless wars. If you don't make early preparations, hundreds of people will surely suffer, so how can you consider food, grass, and military salaries to bring the people to the brink of misery? If the food, grass, salaries and soldiers are not big enough, you can find ways to recruit, if you are not willing to think about the people, what is the use of asking you for the six departments! ”

Hearing him say this, the Duke of Qi also stood up and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Calendar has just succeeded to the throne, and now he can't wait to divert the contradictions in his country, and the best way is to raise troops to neighboring countries!" The collusion between him and Da Zhou has been around for a long time, and this time he must want to use this dead goose to provoke His Majesty. According to Weichen, although it is not appropriate to raise troops immediately, it should be prepared in advance! Don't wait for the army to press the border and then prepare food and grass, that is the real push of the people into fire and water. ”

Li Weiyang glanced at the two of them, but nodded. The Wang family and the Guo family have unconsciously become a force, and everyone can see that the meaning of Qi Guogong and General Zhendong is clearly the same. But people can't help but wonder in their hearts, General Zhendong lost two beloved sons, and both of them have an unshirkable relationship with the Guo family, why can these two families still come together?

Empress Pei's gaze became cold, originally according to her plan, the Guo family and the Pei family must have turned against each other, and they were like fire and water. However, because of the prince's repeated mistakes, and because of Li Weiyang and Wang Zijin's troubles, this play failed to go smoothly, but prompted the two families to merge together. Anyway, the only one who can attract her attention is Li Weiyang, and she doesn't care about the others. Even if it is twisted into a rope, what can it be? The only thing to be afraid of is that the number of armies of the two families has increased significantly. Having military power is the most fatal thing, and when she thought of this, her eyes became even colder.

As soon as the military department Shangshu spoke, the prince immediately understood what Empress Pei meant, and immediately signaled to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu quietly, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu immediately got up and played: "Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with what the military department Shangshu said, it is not appropriate to use troops on the Great Calendar for a few years!" What General Zhendong and Qi Guogong said was not wrong. In order to prevent the possibility of raising troops in the Great Calendar, His Majesty instructed the border soldiers to be more vigilant, but Weichen felt that there was no need to prepare for war at all. Since the Duke of Qi also knew that the emperor of the Great Calendar had just ascended the throne and was young and vigorous, he wanted to show his majesty to our country, which shows that he is strong on the outside and has no confidence. Now he just sent a dead goose, and there was no real action. As for the Chen Bing border, the most important purpose is just to hope that our country will be afraid. If he really raised troops on a large scale, he didn't have that strength at all! Why should we bother with a bow and snake shadow, once the army is expanded on a large scale, won't it disturb the people again? This is really not the blessing of all the people! ”

The crown prince stood up, and he glanced at the emperor before he said loudly: "Father, I am going to the west of Yue for more than a thousand miles, and there are countless mountains and mountains and sheep intestine trails in the middle. Once the army was departed, horses, provisions, chariots, etc., were all problems, and recruiting soldiers required a large expenditure. The allocation of the imperial court is only a drop in the bucket, and the ministers thought about it a little, if it is to use troops for the calendar, the cost of conscription alone will require tens of millions of taels of silver, and this money has no source, do you want to go to the people's heads to loot? ! This is completely contrary to the father's consistent concept of loving the people like sons, so ...... It is true that the Great Calendar is too deceitful, but now is indeed not the best time to raise troops. ”

After the military department Shangshu finished speaking, the other Shangshu also stood up one after another, and the face of the emperor became more and more ugly.

Li Weiyang's eyes looked at the crown prince, and a trace of coldness flashed in her expression, she knew that Empress Pei's arrangement must have something to say, not just to let the emperor see the situation that the court was almost one-sided. Sure enough, I saw Zhang Yushi next to him stand up and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is to expel all the Dali people from the country!" ”

The emperor frowned and said, "What does Zhang Yushi mean by this?!" I have decreed that all the people of the Great Calendar will be expelled and that all contact with them be severed completely! ”

Zhang Yushi suddenly glanced at Qi Guogong, and suddenly said loudly: "Yes, according to His Majesty's will, the exchanges between my country and the Great Calendar have long been interrupted. However, as far as Weichen knows, from time to time, people from the Great Calendar quietly enter our border and exchange goods with our merchants. In addition, there are some spies from the Great Calendar who are constantly coming and going in most of our capital, and it is difficult to say that they are not here to spy on our military, government affairs, and people's feelings. Therefore, Weichen thought that the border guards should be strictly ordered to prevent the Dali people from entering the country, and the various yamen in the capital should also pay attention to the visits, and found that the Dali people should be immediately arrested and interrogated. If the common people are expelled from the country, if they are spies, they should be divided by death, and all those who take in these spies will be convicted of treason, so as to show that they are not compatible with the great history! ”

Hearing Zhang Yushi say this, Qi Guogong's brows furrowed slightly, and he only felt that it seemed that the other party had begun to stumble.

The emperor said coldly: "That's right, I have already taken the lead in expelling all the people of the Great Calendar, and anyone who dares to take them in will be punished for harboring!" ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Yushi immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen obeys His Majesty's will and has important matters to report." ”

The Emperor frowned lightly and said, "I have just granted your request, what else is the matter?" ”

At this time, his cold eyes stayed on Zhang Yushi's face for a moment, and he vaguely sensed that Empress Pei was going to do something to someone, but it was okay, he was happy to watch the excitement.

Zhang Yushi said coldly: "Weichen got the news. It turned out that Weichen's wife and uncle were killed in the bedroom by his concubine in collusion with the adulterer five days ago, and the adulterer and the adulteress both rolled up gold and silver and absconded. They couldn't escape from the gate of the capital, so they sneaked back back, and along the way, Lord Jing Zhaoyin set up countless bayonets, just to catch them. Inadvertently, Weichen discovered a strange thing. ”

Everyone looked at Zhang Yushi with a surprised expression, but listened to him continue: "During the search, Weichen's people found that there was a very strange woman in the carriage of the Qi State Mansion, always wearing a veil and following behind the Miss of the State Mansion. The yacha wanted to ask, but was always rejected by Miss Guo. Not only that, but she also prevaricated and prevaricated about this woman's origin. Weichen got the news that this name was a spy from the Great Calendar, and he had an old relationship with Miss Guo. Although Miss Guo is a pure Yuexi in blood, she grew up in the Great Calendar, and no one can not doubt it, so Weichen wants to ask the Guo family to explain! ”

Hearing this, everyone looked suspiciously in the direction of Li Weiyang.

And Li Weiyang listened to a few words, but the corners of his lips gradually rose, and sure enough, he came, he was waiting for her here! I am afraid that from the beginning of today, the envoys of the Great Calendar will appear to send the dead geese, and the emperor will be angry, and then everyone will be coy, saying that it is not appropriate to declare war, and finally Zhang Yushi will cause the ministers to have the same hatred for the Great Calendar, so that the emperor agrees to define the act of taking in the Great Calendar as a crime of treason, and lead her Li Weiyang into the trap step by step. It seems ordinary, but it is a step by step. The other party expected that she would definitely take in Concubine Lian, and also expected that she would definitely protect this woman. Because the other party knows too many secrets about her, she will not let Concubine Lian fall into the hands of the enemy no matter what, so such a protection has become a reason for the other party to attack her.

The emperor looked at Li Weiyang, and the slightest cold in his eyes swept towards her.

Li Weiyang's smile seemed to be nothing, and there were no ripples in his calm and indifferent eyes.

The emperor turned his head and said coldly: "Duke Qi Guogong, someone has accused your mansion of taking in the spies of the Great Calendar, what do you have to say?" ”

Qi Guogong hurriedly got up and saluted the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation, how dare Weichen do this?" ”

The emperor smiled coldly, looked at Zhang Yushi and said, "What evidence can you have to convince the Duke of Qi?" ”

Zhang Yushi immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has evidence. ”

"Oh, what's the proof?" Qi Guogong turned his head sharply, stared at Zhang Yushi and said, "Is it because a young woman appeared in my mansion, does this make you think that we took in the spy of the Great Calendar?" Unfounded, Master Zhang, I advise you not to speak wildly! ”

Zhang Yushi showed no weakness: "Naturally, I can't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty." Qi Guogong, what is the identity of the woman in white, do you dare to explain it to everyone? Or simply have the Forbidden Army search your home and see who the woman in white really is? ”

Qi Guogong was furious and said, "You are so bold, you want to search my house!" Then he turned his head and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen will never dare to disobey your orders, let alone take in the Dali spies, every qiē is this imperial history gibberish, Weichen is loyal to the sky, please see it!" ”

The emperor's gaze swept in front of them one by one, but it became colder and colder.

Empress Pei next to her smiled faintly and said: "Yes and no, as long as you go and search the Mansion of Qi State, the truth will be revealed." Qi Guogong, you are His Majesty's most loyal courtier, I guess you won't mind a search to prove your innocence, right? ”

Qi Guogong's face became gloomy in an instant, he looked straight at Empress Pei, and countless cold rays shot out of his eyes, but Empress Pei was unmoved, but his smile was even gentler, graceful and luxurious, and his demeanor was all directions. The prince immediately said: "What, is the Duke of Qi worried about finding out something?" Speaking of this, he smiled faintly and said: "I can't imagine that the Duke of Qi Guo, who has always prided himself on being loyal, is also a person who deceives the world and steals his name, if there is no ghost in his heart, why should he resist the search?" ”

As soon as the prince exited, the others spoke one after another, all persuading Qi Guogong to accept the search and prove his innocence.

Qi Guogong said in a cold voice: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, what if nothing is found?" ”

The prince glanced at Zhang Yushi, although he didn't know why the queen mother had to search the Guo family, but he believed in the other party's judgment, and he immediately said: "If nothing is found, I will apologize to you in court, as for Lord Zhang, ......" But after saying this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, the woman Zhang Yushi said was ...... No, it won't! He subconsciously clenched his fists, and the smile slowly faded.

Zhang Yushi saw that the prince looked at him, and immediately stepped forward, straightened his chest and said: "As for me, I am willing to make amends to the grandfather of the country with my life!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Wang Qiong hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang, why are you so aggressive, what is the fate of the match, today is His Majesty's birthday feast." Wouldn't you embarrass Your Majesty by saying such things? ”

Zhang Yushi smiled coldly, as if he was infinitely loyal, and said with a stiff neck: "I am the imperial history of His Majesty, responsible for supervising the words and deeds of hundreds of officials, if the Duke of Qi really has the act of taking in spies, it is the crime of treason, even if the minister does not want his life, he will definitely get rid of this traitorous minister for His Majesty!" Saying that, he stepped forward three times, took off his official hat, knelt on the ground and said: "Please order the search of the Duke of Qi's mansion, if nothing can be found, it will prove that the Duke of Qi is innocent, and Weichen is willing to splash blood on the spot!" ”

Hearing him so sure, a trace of ridicule flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes, Princess Ali occasionally raised her head and saw a smile hidden in Li Weiyang's eyes, but she couldn't help but be secretly surprised in her heart, and said in her heart that Jia'er was stupid, and now it was a critical juncture! It would be terrible if someone found the sick Leng Lian!

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "In this case, please ask the forbidden army to search the mansion of the Duke of Qi!" If you don't find it, the prince will apologize, and as for Lord Zhang, you can only make amends with your life! ”

Zhang Yushi was taken aback, and immediately lowered his head and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

With this play, the whole banquet became very deserted. Everyone drank silently, and occasionally had a conversation, but they all looked solemn. Every time His Majesty holds a banquet, something has to happen, which makes people panic. glanced at the Guo family's expressions, but they were all calm. At this time, Ying Chu stood in the shadows, peeking at the hall that happened to him, but he smiled faintly. He had already received the news that Leng Lian was still in the Qi State Mansion.

As long as the forbidden army goes, they will definitely be able to search for this person! Li Minzhi is just a young child, and he doesn't become a climate at all without evidence, but Leng Lian is completely different. At that time, no matter how Li Weiyang quibbles, she will not be able to escape the charge of taking in the Dali spy in the Qi State Mansion, especially since this spy is still from the Dali royal family. This is by no means something that the emperor can tolerate, no matter what kind of family the Duke of Qi is, they will not be able to escape the charge of treason!

King Jing looked at this scene, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, he knew the relationship between Li Weiyang and the royal family of Dali. In case Li Weiyang really took in someone from the calendar, this matter can be big or small. Presumably, Empress Pei and the crown prince will definitely seize this handle and put the Qi State Mansion to death. Once the Duke of Qi falls, then King Jing will come to an end. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the prince, but saw a sneer on the other party's handsome face. The strange thing is that Yuan Lie on the side has a nonchalant look, and he didn't even make a sound to stop him, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

King Jing thought about it in his heart, and he couldn't help but calm down, he faintly felt that this matter was not so simple.

The prince almost began to fidget, and he strung the whole thing together and thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more apprehensive he became......

After half an hour, the forbidden army brought a woman to the temple. The commander of the forbidden army said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already checked the people of the Qi State Mansion, and finally found this woman in the residence of Princess Chen Liu, she is not a slave of the Guo family, please verify your identity!" ”

There really are spies! When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel more annoyed and disdainful. The people of the Great Calendar sent the dead goose, which was clearly humiliating Yuexi, and not mentioning that Miss Guo of the Duke of Qi had an inextricable relationship with the Great Calendar, just saying that she took in the Great Calendar spy would never be tolerated!

The woman in white was veiled over her face, and she just bowed to Emperor Yingying and said, "The people see Your Majesty, see the queen's mother." ”

Empress Pei frowned, and seemed to be a little surprised: "Who are you?" ”

Li Weiyang stood up, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Hui Niangniang, this is the distant niece of my mother, Mrs. Guo, who came from Qingzhou to seek refuge in our Guo Mansion. ”

Pei Hou smiled faintly and said: "In this case, why do you want to cover the white sand and refuse to show your true face?" ”

In fact, not many people can recognize Leng Lian's appearance, but her peerless beauty has already spread all over the world. Once her appearance is revealed, there will naturally be people who are interested in correcting her, so no matter where she is, she is veiled, and even the descendants of the Guo family have not seen her true face. At this time, Princess Ali forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, Leng Lian was really searched out, what should Guo Fu do next? What should Jia'er do? This is all her fault, if she hadn't brought Leng Lian back in the first place! She was about to speak subconsciously, but Li Weiyang glanced at her in time and signaled her not to move.

At this time, the prince had already spoken: "Let her take off the veil to verify her identity." ”

Li Weiyang actually took the initiative to leave the table, stepped forward, and chuckled: "Your Majesty, my cousin has a wound on her face, I am afraid that I will frighten Niangniang and you, please be gracious, don't let her take off the veil, it can be regarded as a woman's face!" ”

Empress Pei smiled coldly, and there was more ridicule in her expression: "Listening to Miss Guo's words, it seems that she is deliberately blurring the identity of this woman." ”

The prince stared at the woman in white, and secretly guessed that he had kidnapped the real Leng Lian, and Li Weiyang would find someone to replace him, if this was the case, then wouldn't this so-called Great Calendar spy be in his own courtyard?! Does Li Weiyang know, did she deliberately set this trap, or did she have other plans?! Is it possible, Leng Lian is just a beauty trick? No! No!

Concubine Guo Hui lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Queen Mother, you don't have any evidence to prove that the Duke of Qi has taken in the Dali spies, so please be cautious and behave carefully!" ”

Empress Pei glanced at her coldly, and there was a rare hint of rampant and arbitrariness in her eyes. She sneered: "Concubine Hui, don't blame the Qi State Mansion anymore." Master Zhang swears that there must be conclusive evidence. You should still persuade Miss Guo to confess her guilt earlier, so as not to implicate more innocent people! ”

At this time, the figure of the woman in white trembled slightly, as if she was trembling with fright.

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Since Niangniang insists, you can take off the white yarn." ”

The woman was stunned, then nodded slightly, and with a movement of her hands, she really brushed off the white veil on her face, and everyone looked at it, and suddenly exclaimed, it turned out that the woman's beautiful face was actually countless red spots, as dense as pockmarks, and she couldn't see her original appearance clearly!

Empress Pei clenched her palms all of a sudden, and she stared at the other party in almost disbelief. Immediately, her gaze fell on the corner of the main hall, that place was Ying Chu's hiding place, and he sat in the most inconspicuous corner of the crowd, and at this moment his face was also infinitely shocked.

And the woman in white was already in tears, and her voice was mournful: "Please forgive your majesty and Niangniang!" The folk girl Hanmen Liu suffered from a skin disease, so she had to cover it up. This time I came to Dadu to find a famous doctor to cure the disease. The birthplace of the folk girl is in Qingzhou, and this qiē is traceable, and His Majesty can send someone to the hometown of the folk girl to inquire. The people's daughter is called Liu Chunxue, with a name, a surname, a father, a mother, and a clan, and she is by no means a spy in the calendar. ”

The queen already understood when she heard this, and in an instant she understood that she had fallen for Li Weiyang, and the other party had played tricks on herself, and she had already sensed their intentions, but she still deliberately pretended to be fooled, leaving Leng Lian in the mansion and waiting for this time to give her a surprise blow. However, this is really an unexpected "surprise", where did that good living person go, why couldn't he be searched!

Li Weiyang smiled and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, the courtiers also have important matters!" ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Miss Guo, what do you have to say?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled gently and gracefully: "Actually, what Master Zhang said is not wrong. It was true that there had been a spy from the Great Calendar to look for the courtier, but the courtiers sternly refused and expelled her from the door. Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.

The emperor looked at Qi Guogong and said, "Oh, is there such a thing?" ”

Qi Guogong said solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, what the little girl said is right. We all know about this matter, and we have filed it with Lord Jing Zhao Yin, asking him to catch this spy of the Great Calendar, but Lord Jing Zhao Yin didn't tell Zhang Yushi for some reason, which is why he made such a misunderstanding! ”

Won Yeol glanced at Kyung Zhao Yin with a cold smile in his eyes. Jing Zhaoyin stood up at this time, saluted the emperor and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Miss Guo has indeed filed a case in the Yamen. ”

Empress Pei stared at Jing Zhaoyin, her gaze was like a poisonous snake. Since the last time the Pei family happened, Jing Zhaoyin has been faintly discordant with her, and now it seems that he is clearly taking refuge in King Jing's lineage.

The prince pressed his heart and said sharply: "Guo Jia, when did you go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to record?" What is the evidence? ”

Jing Zhaoyin sighed secretly in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, when Miss Guo came to record, General Zhendong, Hubu Shangshu, and Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, were all in the Weichen Mansion at that time, and they could all testify for the Qi State Mansion to prove that Miss Guo had indeed come to the Yamen to prepare the case, and she made the woman's description clear. She also mentioned that the woman's true identity was the most favored concubine of the Great Calendar Emperor. Therefore, Weichen can vouch for Miss Guo, she categorically did not collude with Dali. If not, why did she offer Concubine Lian? ”

Li Weiyang faced everyone's shocked expressions, and said calmly: "Everyone knows that I was adopted by the prime minister's mansion of the Great Calendar since I was a child, so I was named the county lord and had contact with the people in the palace. I naturally know this lotus concubine, this time she was expelled by the emperor of the Great Calendar, and accidentally ran into me, so she wanted to take refuge with me, but unfortunately His Majesty had a strict order to not allow the Great Calendar people to enter the country, so I expelled her out of the door. Originally, I also wanted to tie her up to see the official, but I was in the middle of the city at the time, and I didn't bring any guards, so I just quietly painted a picture of her description and sent it to the yamen of Jingzhaoyin Mansion for the record. 陛xià! I think that this Lotus Concubine Niangniang suddenly came to Yuexi, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as fleeing, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said just now, it must be to spy on the political, military and people's feelings of our country. Please forgive the courtiers for being unreasonable, and please send someone to arrest her! ”

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Yuan Lie smiled slightly, got up and said, "Your Majesty, please leave this errand to me." ”

The emperor glanced at Yuan Lie solemnly for the first time, but he smiled coldly in his heart: You guys sing so well in this double reed, you dare to play tricks in front of me, when everyone is a fool, you can't do it!

He could almost imagine what the whole thing was like, it must have been Empress Pei who used a trick to send Concubine Lian to the Mansion of Qi State, and took this opportunity to bring up such a topic and forced the emperor to search. Who knew that Li Weiyang beat a rake, sent Concubine Lian out of the mansion first, and also revealed a qiē to the emperor in advance. In this way, even if Leng Lian was searched out, or confessed something, Li Weiyang could say that Leng Lian was holding a grudge after being confessed by her and taking the opportunity to take revenge. I won't believe what Leng Lian said anymore!

Li Weiyang's approach is really cheap and vicious, and I can't see that such a cold, indifferent, delicate and delicate little girl still has this kind of thought.

The prince's face was very ugly, and he already understood what the reason for that woman in his house was coming from...... He never imagined that such a beautiful woman would be the concubine of an emperor! Is he being treated like a monkey?! Damn Leng Lian!

The emperor smiled faintly and said, "Zhang Yushi, does what you said just now still count?" ”

Zhang Yushi was already trembling at this moment, he knelt under the throne, didn't dare to say a word, only took a pair of eyes and kept glancing at Empress Pei.

The crown prince gritted his teeth and said, "Father, please read that Zhang Yushi is just a piece of loyalty." ”

"Shut up!" The emperor suddenly waved his hand to stop the crown prince's next words, and said lightly: "It is a capital crime to frame Zhongliang, do you still want to intercede for such a stupid thing?" ”

Zhang Shangshu immediately begged for mercy loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen only fell for the tricks of traitors when he neglected to do so, and he definitely didn't want to frame the Duke of Qi!" Before he finished his words, he only heard Empress Pei not be merciful: "Zhang Yushi, if you dare to do it, you must dare to do it!" Now that things have come to this point, and the Qi State Mansion has already proved their innocence, you should also understand what to do! ”

When Zhang Yushi heard Pei Hou's cold words, he only felt that a basin of ice water was poured from head to foot, and his whole body was cold to the bone, all the way to the bottom of his heart. He knew that he had been abandoned by Empress Pei, but what could he do? has been an official for so many years, and all his handles have already been pinched in the hands of Empress Pei. If she were to die on her own, he would have to die! Thinking of this, he stood up without saying a word, and slammed into the jade pillar next to him by surprise. Everyone was completely shocked by this scene, only to see that the other party's head was bleeding in a moment, and the whole person fell to the ground, only to see a bowl-sized blood hole on the head, it can be seen that it was with great strength, the guard stepped forward to check, and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is no gas." ”

It's so easy to die! Li Weiyang smiled coldly, if things are not good, he will kill people and kill people, Pei Hou is really a good idea! Will it be as easy as she imagined? I'm afraid it's not that simple.

The emperor looked at Li Weiyang and said in a harmonious voice: "The Duke of Qi is not only innocent, but Miss Guo also has a lot of credit, she reported the spies of the Great Calendar, and I will reward her heavily!" As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and several palace maids held a dozen or so trays, which were covered with red silk, but the golden light under them was faintly visible.

Everyone couldn't help but be amazed, the emperor was so big, and the gift he gave was extraordinary!

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and thanked him: "Thank you, courtier, for your grace." Then she returned to her place.

The emperor personally gave the wine, which was served by the palace maid, and Li Weiyang thanked him again, and then drank it with a cup. At the moment of the first entrance, she glanced at the Emperor through the rim of the glass. The emperor's pair of dragon eyes revealed a cold meaning, but there was no smile.

Li Weiyang smiled coldly, not caring at all.

The other party's face was as hard as ice and cold as water, but in Li Weiyang's opinion, so what? The more angry you are, the more you have to keep a perfect smile, this emperor is doing such a, don't do it!

Princess Ali sighed loudly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I was really scared to death just now!" Where did this Liu Chunxue come from? ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "You are confused, haven't she always been in Guo's mansion these days?" ”

Ali frowned, as if she wanted to ask something, but soon she reacted, couldn't help lowering her body, and laughed in a volume that only two people could hear: "So you cheated? ”

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "Above this hall, who is not cheating? If Empress Pei can harm me, can't I use her own way to counter her body? When she said this, there was a trace of sneer in her heart, if Empress Pei knew that the beautiful Leng Lian was in the prince's courtyard at the moment, I really don't know what kind of expression she would show, I'm afraid she would vomit blood in anger! But now is not the best time, when the time is right, she will naturally let Empress Pei know how big a mistake she made.

Li Weiyang thought silently in his heart, Leng Lian, it's up to you next, you are not as good as me when you play tricks, but I believe that you should have your own way to deal with men. If the prince keeps you knowing your identity, you will have enough use value, otherwise, you will be just a waste!

Princess Ali glanced at Pei Hou, but she was a little uneasy in her heart: "Look at the other party's eyes, they are obviously so beautiful, but they are as cold as ice, which is really scary!" ”

Li Weiyang didn't look at Empress Pei, nor did he look at the angry prince. Her gaze turned to Ying Chu, who was silent in the crowd, she knew that most of this plan was from the hands of the other party. Ying Chu is not stupid, his game may not be successful against others, but it will definitely have an effect against Li Weiyang. Because he knew people's weaknesses very well, and he also knew that according to Li Weiyang's suspicious personality, he would definitely keep Leng Lian by his side and take care of it, but he would never have thought that Li Weiyang would send Leng Lian to the prince in turn.

But in fact, who can guess what Li Weiyang is thinking in his heart?

Yuan Lie looked at Li Weiyang from a distance, smiled lightly, raised his wine glass and drank it all. At this banquet, he is the person who knows Weiyang best, but this time, he is a little unsure of her thoughts. Prince, Prince, do you know what kind of person Weiyang sent to you? If necessary, I'm afraid this bomb will blow you to the ground!

And the prince is full of doubts at the moment, if Li Weiyang deliberately designed this qiē, she will definitely expose a qiē to explain that Leng Lian is in her own mansion, but why didn't she do it, is she just planning and not knowing where Leng Lian disappeared...... Otherwise, why don't you take advantage of such a good handle?! It definitely doesn't make sense! There can only be one explanation, that is, she and Leng Lian did not collude in advance, and today is just a suspicious formation......
