"Xiao Yiqing, you are so bold that you dare to slander the king of the dynasty." Dugu Yanxiang was angry and shouted.

"Brother Xiao, you?" Shangguan Beitang also looked at Xiao Yiqing in surprise, he didn't want to say that he was sick and couldn't go to the court these days, and there had been such a great change in the court.

also blamed himself for being too naïve that day, and blatantly followed the emperor to the mercy courtyard, which only increased his sadness and provoked the world to doubt his identity.

It's just that I have always been good friends with Lord Xiao, why did he impeach me in public, is it just because Yuzhu refused to marry him, he actually held a grudge against me. Shangguan Beitang thought so, hoping that Xiao Yiqing could give him an explanation.

It's just that Xiao Yiqing didn't even look at him, and then said: "Your Majesty, the identity of the King of Beixuan is related to the military hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border, as for whether the minister is slanderous?" Check it out. ”

Li Qing also said: "Your Majesty, the identity of the King of Beixuan cannot be mistaken, Your Majesty is so obstructed, is it true that he has a personal relationship with this demon girl, I hope that Your Majesty can put the world first and kill this demon girl who has brought disaster to the country and the people."

"Li Qing, you are so bold, how do you know that she is a woman?" Dugu Yanxiang stood up and roared.

"Whether it's a woman or not, you will know when you check it. Please also ask the emperor not to stop it. Li Qing said boldly again.

"The ministers implore the emperor to check the true body of the king of Beixuan." The ministers said in unison.

"Who dare?" Dugu Yanxiang roared.

Zhang Chong, the commander of the forbidden army, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the reputation of Da Jiang, please forgive your subordinates for being unreasonable, and Zhang Chong will be at your Majesty's disposal after this matter." ”

After that, he flew forward, and with a move of picking the moon with his bare hands, he rushed straight to Shangguan Beitang. Seeing that big hand was about to hit Shangguan Beitang's chest.

I saw Shangguan Beitang's body side, avoiding Zhang Chong's edge, and then turning lightly, detouring behind Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong came with momentum, but he didn't want to be avoided by Shangguan Beitang, so he was caught off guard, and ran two or three steps towards the front by inertia, and then stopped.

Shangguan Beitang's face did not change, he took out a token from his waist and held it in his hand, looked at everyone and said: "I am the first emperor to be the king of Beixuan, I think which of you dares to move?" ”

When everyone saw him take out the token given by the first emperor, they didn't dare to act rashly, and they all looked at each other and stopped talking.

Shangguan Beitang was relieved to see that everyone was bluffed. It's just that before he could think about what to do next, he heard an old voice from outside the hall.

"Hahaha, King Beixuan, the old man wants to move you, what should I do?"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked outside the hall, but saw a white-haired old man who was nearly 100 years old, standing outside the temple gate with a cane.

Shangguan Beitang was shocked in his heart, it seemed that these people really wanted to put him to death, and even the emperor Liao Qingyuan, who had already resigned and returned to seclusion, was invited out. In an instant, his heart was cold, and he knew that he was in a catastrophe today.

Dugu Yanxiang was also surprised, it seems that it is not so easy to keep Beitang today. He hurriedly stepped off the dragon chair, walked in front of Taifu Liao in three steps and two steps, bowed and saluted, "Students meet the teacher." ”

Taifu Liao nodded, and then saluted him: "Old minister, see Your Majesty." ”

"The teacher doesn't have to be polite, please come in quickly." Dugu Yanxiang picked up the old man and helped him inside.

All the courtiers also greeted him one after another: "Taifu Liao." "Liao Taifu is well."

Xiao Yiqing looked at the arrival of this Liao Taifu, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of joy.

A few days ago, he was sad because of Yuzhu's repentance of marriage, so he drank alone in the drunken fairy building. It was at that time that Li Qing found him.

When he was wantonly getting drunk, Li Qing, the imperial historian, also went to the drunken immortal building to eat, and when he saw that he was alone, he asked: "Hey, Lord Xiao, how can you eat and drink here alone?" ”

"Master Li, you also came alone?" Xiao Yiqing looked at him drunkenly and asked.

Li Qing shook his head and said helplessly: "Hey, it's not, I took a concubine two days ago, no, I was jealous and quarreled with me every day, and the quarrel made my head hurt. Come out alone and drink to relieve boredom. Lord Xiao, if you don't mind, you and I will drink two cups, how about it? ”

"Master Li, please take a seat! It's a blessing to have a good wife, and you have to take a concubine. It's not like me, the person I like will turn his face when he says he will turn his face, and he will not marry if he says he will not marry. Xiao Yiqing raised his head, drank a pot of wine and said. Then he shouted to the shopkeeper, "Guy, another pot." ”

"Where does the contemptible person get the good fortune, I envy Lord Xiao for being free and unrestrained." Li Qing poured a glass of wine and drank it all.

looked at Xiao Yiqing again and said, "Huh? A few days ago, I heard that Lord Xiao was going to marry Yuzhu, the maid of the Beixuan Palace, as his wife, what's the matter? Isn't this going to happen? ”

"Well, don't mention it. Come, Master Li, I will toast you. Xiao Yiqing raised his glass and said.

"Lord Xiao, please." Li Qing also raised his glass, and the two of them touched each other and drank it all.

After chatting and discussing a few words of state affairs, Li Qing raised his eyes and asked tentatively, "I wonder if Lord Xiao has heard any rumors recently?" ”

Xiao Yiqing looked at him puzzled and asked, "What are the rumors?" ”

Li Qing cautiously looked around, covered his left hand to his mouth, approached Xiao Yiqing's ear, and said matter-of-factly: "Recently, it has been rumored in Beijing that the King of Beixuan is a woman. ”

Xiao Yiqing smiled disapprerovingly: "Hehe, how is it possible? If he is really a woman, how can he take my jade bamboo? Nonsense, really nonsense. Master Li wouldn't even believe such rumors, would he? ”

"Tsk, Master Xiao, you don't understand this, do you? A few days ago, the emperor sent a courtyard to the King of Beixuan, do you know? ”

"It's not a secret that this matter, of course I know it, but what does this have to do with the fact that King Beixuan is a woman?" Xiao Yiqing asked suspiciously.

"Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, the problem is here. Think about it, why has the emperor been so fond of King Beixuan for so many years, and it is just a matter of rewarding him with a house, but why does he mention the word "Pity Dress", who does this dress refer to? Li Qing looked at him and said.

"Who?" Xiao Yiqing hiccuped and said.

"I'm afraid it's the lord of Beishang."

"Didn't the county lord of Beishang pass away many years ago? This has nothing to do with whether the King of the North is a woman or not. ”

"Lord Xiao, why are you smart and confused for a while, think about it, the emperor wants to reward Shangguan Beitang's house, why do you want to use the name of Shangguan Beishang as the title. This Beitang Beishang is a dragon and phoenix again, don't you still understand the reason for this? ”

Xiao Yiqing didn't speak, he was thinking about the connection. After a long time, he said: "What does Master Li mean is that the current King of Beixuan is changing the phoenix to the dragon?" ”

He couldn't help but be taken aback by his bold guess, and immediately stood up, poured a cold sweat, and half of the wine woke up. If that's the case, then the Beixuan King's treasure is really deep enough.

Li Qing didn't pay attention to his surprise, looked at him and prompted: "I heard that the emperor deliberately took Shangguan Beitang to the garden that day, because he wanted to spend a good night with her, but he didn't want the queen mother to notice and block him in advance, so he gave up." ”

"But if he is really a woman, why won't he marry Yuzhu to me?" Xiao Yiqing's questions are getting more and more.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about it? Maybe this is exactly the plan set up by the Beixuan King in order to deal with the disclosure of his identity, and your Yuzhu girl is just a pawn in his plan. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Yiqing's mind is messy now. He needs a normal and rational logic.

And at this moment, Li Qing can just give him this logic: "Lord Xiao, think about it, if the identity of the King of Beixuan is revealed, what will happen to him?" ”

"If his identity is revealed, even if the emperor knows that she is a woman and protects her. can imagine that the ministers of the court will not let her go, after all, he is in a high position and holds military power. Who would agree to let a woman be the king of a country. Take charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Xiao Yiqing analyzed.

After hearing this, Li Qing said: "That's right, even if the emperor wants to protect her, the ministers will never let him go, and they will definitely put him to death, and then I'm afraid that the emperor won't be able to protect him if he wants to." Therefore, no matter what, his identity must not be revealed. That's why he won't let Yuzhu marry you. ”

"What do you mean is that Yuzhu claims to be his person, but it is just a cover for him, so that the world thinks that he is no different from ordinary men."

"Exactly, hey! It's just a pity that the Yuzhu girl is going to die alone in the Beixuan Palace. Li Qing shook his head regretfully.

"No, I will never let Yuzhu become a chess piece, I must save her from the sea of suffering." Xiao Yiqing clenched his fists and said.

"If you want to save Yuzhu, you can only bring down the King of Beixuan, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for you to live and fly with Yuzhu girl. Besides, the king of Beixuan has also inherited the throne for several years, but he has been staying in Beijing without any achievements, how can I be a useless person in the power of Jiang Guo? What's more, she's still a woman. Li Qingdao.

"For the sake of Jiang Guo, for the sake of all living beings in the world, and for the happiness of Lord Xiao, I also ask Lord Xiao to join me in the Holy Shrine to find out the identity of the King of Beixuan, and to give justice to the Beixuan Army." Li Qingyi saluted Xiao Yiqing solemnly and said.

"Lord Li doesn't have to be polite, even if I don't do it for myself, I have to ask the people of Jiang Guo if a woman can be a prince for a dynasty. It's just," Xiao Yiqing thought for a moment.

"Just what? Lord Xiao may as well say something directly. Li Qing couldn't help but be happy when he saw that he agreed.

Xiao Yiqing looked at Li Qing and said, "It's just that Lord Li has not thought about it? The emperor is very partial to the king of Beixuan, and you and I alone may not be enough to shake the position of the king of Beixuan. ”

"Lord Xiao, don't worry, there are many people in the court who have objections to the king of Beixuan, as long as you and I join hands to write a book, the ministers will definitely rise up, and then I am afraid that the emperor wants to protect him, and he can't keep it."

"No, Master Li, I thought that if this was to be done, someone would need to help." Xiao Yiqing said.

"Who?" Li Qing asked.

"Emperor Liao Qingyuan."

"Well, Taifu Liao is the emperor's teacher, and he has been upright all his life, and he will definitely not let a woman sit firmly in the position of the prince. Besides, the emperor respects teachers the most, and if he is persuaded by Taifu Liao, he will listen to some of them. If there is the help of Taifu Liao, this matter will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. It's just that the old man Taifu has already resigned and gone into hiding, I'm afraid he won't go out of the mountain. Li Qing said.
