CHAPTER XI 2

"Master Li doesn't have to worry about this matter, Master Liao cares about his family and country, if he knows that the position of the high-ranking prince of Beixuan is held by a woman, he will naturally be anxious. You and I will be a little polite, and go to persuade each other, thinking that he will definitely not stand idly by. Xiao Yiqing said.

Li Qing nodded: "Okay, then do what Master Xiao said." ”

Therefore, when Liao Qingyuan appeared on the Jinluan Palace, Xiao Yiqing was not surprised at all, he turned his head to look at Li Qing, and the two of them tacitly looked at each other and smiled.

Look at Shangguan Beitang's frowning appearance again. Xiao Yiqing swept away the trace of unbearability in his heart, and secretly thought: Shangguan Beitang, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Dugu Yanxiang helped Liao Qingyuan into the hall, and said to the waiting eunuch on the side: "Give me a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liao Qingyuan thanksgiving.

The eunuch bowed and saluted, waving his hand to let the two of them move onto a prince's chair.

Dugu Yanxiang returned to the dragon chair and sat down. Only then did Liao Qingyuan sit down, look at the important ministers in the court, and then look at Shangguan Beitang.

Shangguan Beitang also clasped his hands and saluted: "Taifu Liao." ”

Liao Qingyuan nodded coldly, then looked at Dugu Yanxiang and said, "Your Majesty, it has been rumored in Beijing that the King of Beixuan is a woman. The old minister thought that this matter should not be taken lightly. ”

"Taifu Liao, these are all rumors with no beginning and no end, and they are not credible. The teacher didn't go out of the mountain because of this matter, it was really a big fuss. Dugu Yanxiang shook his sleeves and said.

Liao Qingyuan patted his leg and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this matter is not without a beginning or an end, the old minister heard that His Majesty sent a set of courtyards to the King of Beixuan some time ago, but I am afraid that this head started here. The old minister thought that there was no wind and no waves, and since the king of Beixuan was also there, it was better to verify that he was right. ”

Dugu Yanxiang frowned and said: "No, Taifu Liao, the purple and gold crown of the king of Beixuan was the emperor that day, and the dragon robe was given by the first emperor himself, and the throne ceremony was also presided over by you personally, do you know his identity?" Are you questioning the emperor and your past self? ”

"Your Majesty, just because the raid was given by the emperor himself, and the old minister handled the execution single-handedly, the minister thought that he should find out his identity, so as not to deceive the emperor and deceive the emperor." Liao Qingyuan stroked his beard and said.

"Liao Taifu, you have been an emperor for three generations, you have been an honest official all your life, and your eyes are like torches, if this king is really a woman, when you run the ceremony for me that day, you should see whether I am true or false." Shangguan Beitang stepped forward and said.

"Furthermore, since I inherited the throne, although I have not made any achievements, I also think that I have never done anything corrupt or abused my power. Why did Taifu force Beitang hard today? ”

"King Beixuan, it's not that the old man wants to force you, it's just for my great Jiang Qingyu, and for the military heart of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border, the old man has no choice but to do it. If the prince really has a clear conscience, then what can we do? Liao Qingyuan said again.

"I think whoever dares, as long as I am here, no one will want to touch half a hair of the Beixuan King." Dugu Yanxiang saw that Taifu Liao was stubborn, slapped the table and stood up and said.

Liao Qingyuan also stood up and said: "This matter is related to my reputation as a big Jiang, and the old minister has a handful of bones, and he is not afraid of offending the emperor." Today's body, the old minister has been confirmed. ”

"Mrs. Liao can think clearly, if I am not a woman, what should you do?" Shangguan Beitang said. He is so weak-hearted, but he can't show the slightest flaw in his momentum.

"If you weren't a woman, the old man would have died in this Jinluan Hall today." Liao Qingyuan said again.

"Okay, that's what you said." Shangguan Beitang was also angry, he said stubbornly.

But what if? What about the King of the North Spin? "Taifu Liao is pressing step by step.

"If so, this Wang Xi will listen to the disposal of Taifu Liao." Shangguan Beitang said.

"The old man doesn't dare to deal with the king of Beixuan, but according to my big ginger's law, he deserves to be punished for his crimes, and you don't accept it?" Liao Taifu said again.

"Taifu Liao, I'm still here, are you going to resist the decree?" Dugu Yanxiang stepped down from the dragon chair, protected in front of Shangguan Beitang, and glanced at everyone in the hall.

Said coldly: "Today, I want to see who dares to move the king of the North Circle, and those who dare to touch the king of the north will be punished with a rod." ”

Liao Qingyuan bowed to Dugu Yanxiang very calmly, and said: "Your Majesty succeeded to the throne at a young age, and was bewitched by this demon girl, if Your Majesty insists on protecting her, I think my big Jiang Jiangshan will be lost in his hands sooner or later!" Your Majesty, the ministers are in their positions, and they can't help but think about your Majesty. Today, I'm afraid the old minister is going to be rude. ”

He straightened up, looked to the sides of his clothes, and said in a loud voice, "Please whip the dragon." ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. Xiao Yiqing was overjoyed in his heart, this was the reason why he invited Liao Qingyuan out of the mountain. With the dragon whip given by the first emperor in hand, are you still afraid that the emperor will protect Shangguan Beitang again?

Dugu Yanxiang was also shocked, how could he not have imagined that the teacher was holding the dragon whip given by the emperor in his hand, but he couldn't imagine that the teacher was sincerely against him, and he actually took out the dragon whip to threaten him at this moment.

Outside the hall, an attendant walked in reverently and respectfully holding a dragon whip. And all the people in the temple bowed down one after another. Dugu Yanxiang was no exception, so he had to kneel on the ground reverently.

Liao Qingyuan took the dragon whip and said: "When the first emperor died, the old minister was ordered to hold the dragon whip in his hand, and had to fight the dragon as a last resort. ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward, and the ministers also took a step forward.

Shangguan Beitang and Dugu Yanxiang were like dumpling fillings, surrounded by everyone in the middle.

"I see who dares, if anyone dares to move the King of the North Circle, let me step on me first. Do you dare to rebel? Dugu Yanxiang pulled Shangguan Beitang behind him.

The ministers did not speak, but took another step forward. They condensed into a terrifying pressure and pressed towards Dugu Yan Xiang and Shangguan Beitang.

"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Beitang glanced at everyone, and there was panic in his eyes. The crowd was so imposing that they walked towards them like walking corpses, and they were almost out of breath. Seeing that he was about to run into them, he would break them into pieces.

At this critical moment, I heard the sharp voice of a eunuch outside the hall shouting: "The Queen Mother has arrived." ”

Only then did everyone stop, looking out of the hall as if they had just woken up from a dream, only to see the Queen Mother walking slowly towards the hall in a red and black satin palace robe.

Everyone unconsciously made way for her, and she came to everyone with a smile in her eyes.

Liao Qingyuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "The Queen Mother." "And they all bowed down.

"Mrs. Liao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your body is still tough?" The Queen Mother asked with a slight smile.

"Thanks to you, everything is fine with the old minister." Liao Qingyuan replied.

The Queen Mother looked at everyone again and said, "All the secretaries should get up." ”

She stepped forward again, as if she didn't know what had just happened in the court, grabbed Shangguan Beitang's hand, and said with a smile: "My son, the mourning family is here to congratulate you, you have a queen in the Beixuan Palace." ”

Everyone was panicked when they heard this, only Shangguan Beitang had a blank face, and Mu Na asked: "Weichen doesn't know what the Queen Mother means, so please show the Queen Mother." ”

"Look at this kid, are you going to be stupid with joy?" The Queen Mother said with a smile on her face, and glanced at Dugu Yanxiang.

"The people in the Beixuan Palace's palace can't find you, so they came to the palace to report that your maid Yuzhu is pregnant, and it has been nearly a month." The Queen Mother explained to him again.

"What? Yuzhu is pregnant? Shangguan Beitang was still confused.

"Not really! Emperor! There is no concubine in this Beixuan Palace, since this Yuzhu girl has returned the flesh and blood of the Beixuan King, she should also be given a name. The Queen Mother said to Dugu Yanxiang again.

Although Dugu Yanxiang was also shocked in his heart, the queen mother said this to solve the crisis of the moment, and echoed and said: "What the queen mother said is very true, if you happen to meet such a happy event, it is better to seal Yuzhu as the side concubine of the Beixuan Wang, temporarily take charge of everything in the Beixuan Palace, and wait until he chooses the concubine one day, and then it is not too late for the concubine to take care of everything in the Beixuan Palace." ”

"That's right, that's what the mourning family means." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm going to make a decree and canonize Yuzhu as the concubine of the Beixuan King." Dugu Yanxiang also said with a smile.

"No, it's impossible, how could Yuzhu be pregnant with your child? You tell me, it's not like that. Xiao Yiqing suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Shangguan Beitang's shoulders with both hands, and asked with a roar.

Dugu Yanxiang stretched out his hand and shook off his arm, protected Shangguan Beitang in his arms and said, "Waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you are crazy. Come on, drag Xiao Yiqing down. ”

"How could Yuzhu possibly conceive your child? Tell me, what the hell did you do to her? Xiao Yiqing was pulled by two guards, but he still struggled to ask.

"Xiao Yiqing, what are you going to do? Do you have to let Yuzhu tell you personally? The Queen Mother looked at him angrily.

"Yuzhu, the person in her heart is me, how could he be pregnant with someone else's child, besides, he Shangguan Beitang is obviously a woman, how can he let someone else get pregnant." Xiao Yiqing pointed to Shangguan Beitang and said.

It seems that you don't see the Yellow River and don't give up, come here, pass on Yuzhu." The Queen Mother said.

After a short time, Yuzhu walked up to the palace and saluted to the queen mother and the emperor: "Slaves and maids see the emperor and participate in the queen mother." ”

"You're not in good shape, get up first." Dugu Yanxiang said.

"Emperor Xie, Empress Dowager." Yuzhu stood up. Walked straight to Shangguan Beitang's side, "Lord Wang." ”

When she passed by Xiao Yiqing, she didn't seem to see him at all. Looking at Yuzhu, who was a stranger to him, Xiao Yiqing's heart was filled with a trace of bitterness.

"Yuzhu, tell me, you're really pregnant." Shangguan Beitang looked at Yuzhu with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Well, the slave has been a little nauseous and sleepy for the past two days. This morning, I called the imperial doctor to take a look, and he said that the slave maid had been pregnant for almost a month. Yuzhu nodded and said.

"When are you and this king..." Shangguan Beitang was still confused.

Yuzhu interrupted him, looked around shyly, and whispered: "That's the time, the prince didn't forget." ”

"Miss Yuzhu, everyone in the court said that your prince is a woman, and this Lord Xiao doesn't believe that you already have the flesh and blood of the King of Beixuan. Explain it to the people! Dugu Yanxiang said to Yuzhu.

"Heh," Yuzhu hugged Juan Pa and smiled: "My prince is a woman, how is this possible?" If anyone doesn't believe I'm pregnant, they can ask a doctor to take my pulse right away. ”
