Chapter 239: Your Majesty Calls the Shots
As soon as she knelt down, the chopsticks in King Tang's hand fell straight on the table, making a crisp sound, but King Tang himself looked straight at Princess Tang who was kneeling on the ground, with a face full of disbelief.
Yan Wushuang frowned and glanced at Zhan Ge, Zhan Ge shook his head lightly at her, and he endured it first.
As for the officials, some were thoughtful, some were puzzled, but the envoys of the Xiongnu and the barbarians looked at the Tang King quietly.
All kinds of life are in the eye.
Shengshang, who knew a lot about this matter before, put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, knelt on the ground by Princess Tang, and calmly wiped the corners of his mouth, and then looked at Princess Tang.
"I don't know what the imperial aunt has to do, she wants to be in this hall and be in charge." Princess Tang understood the implicit meaning of the saint, but the matter had come to this time, and she was unwilling to compromise.
This incident itself is a royal shame, and it must be written into the royal history books, so that future generations can understand what kind of person King Tang is.
Before doing this, Princess Tang understood that after this incident, the saint would definitely be cold to her, but it didn't matter, what Zhan Ge promised her would definitely be done, her glory was in her body, and she had no worries in this life, so she had nothing else to ask for.
Seeing that Princess Tang was still kneeling firmly on the ground, unwilling to get up, the saint waved his hand, and even the father-in-law nodded to the father-in-law of Wei, and the maids and eunuchs who were waiting all withdrew, and the door of the Jinluan Hall was closed again, and the entire hall was much darker.
"If the emperor has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, all the adults here are here, and they will always be willing to make decisions for you, and it is also a good thing to let the two messengers know."
Although the saint looked at Princess Tang, his eyebrows and eyes were quite cold, but what he said was a little biased towards Princess Tang, and there are pros and cons to announcing this matter here, but it is just to magnify its good side and shrink its bad side to the minimum.
Although Princess Tang's knees hurt from being knocked by the gold bricks, she felt warm in her heart, which means that the saint is supporting her this time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, this time the concubine wants to sue the Tang Wang......" As soon as the words fell, many people showed surprise, it was really a very affectionate relationship between the Tang King and the Tang Princess in the past, and everyone never thought that one day the two would come to such a point.
Moreover, looking at Princess Tang like this, even if it is not as deep as the sea, it is almost the same.
Princess Tang finally raised her head and looked in the direction of King Tang, her face calmly evoked a smile, with fragmented sadness, but it was as beautiful as a dream.
"Lord Wang, if I don't know about that matter, even if I know more about other things, I won't do this, I'd rather we discuss and discuss than come to this point. But now you forced me to do all this. ”
Tang Wang slowly lowered his eyes and didn't make a sound, but he was immersed in a feeling of twilight around him, which made people feel desolate when they saw it.
"Mother......" Lord Chengping suddenly spoke, looking at his parents with a frightened face, as if he didn't understand why such a thing happened?
Princess Tang just gave her daughter a comforting look and looked at His Majesty who was high above.
"The concubines have enough evidence to prove that the sudden withdrawal of the barbarians had a huge relationship with the Tang King, and in that battle, the Huns suffered heavy casualties, but the barbarians retained enough strength, which led to the later battle with the king side by side."
Unexpectedly, Princess Tang just told this matter at the beginning, and now, the faces of the officials who knew about it and those who didn't know about it changed, and the biggest change should be that the prince of the barbarian clan, Mandu Latu.
His expression became extremely gloomy, and his whole body was like a lone wolf on the grassland, showing his sharp fangs to Princess Tang.
When Yan Wushuang was a little worried, King Sheng suddenly got up. Lazily left his position and beckoned to Gonggong Wei, who was very clever to move a chair, and King Sheng sat in the back seat of Princess Tang.
Just face to face with the barbarian Mandu Latu.
"Although I was not in the capital in those years, I have also heard about this matter, if that battle is successful, at least the northern Xinjiang will be peaceful for the next few decades, but it is precisely because of the sudden withdrawal of the barbarians that it led to what happened later."
As he spoke, King Sheng suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at Mandu Latu, his eyes were dangerous, and his expression was scattered: "If you talk about it, I also fought with your father back then, although I didn't win much, but at least half a catty against eight taels, you are like this, in front of me, you are still too young."
Seeing that Mandu Latu had to restrain his momentum and try to pretend to be simple and harmless, the smile on the corner of King Sheng's mouth became a little bigger, he originally thought that Yao'er didn't come over, and he was a little bored, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"His Royal Highness King Sheng's wisdom, my father once said to me, I didn't believe it originally, but I didn't expect to be able to meet His Royal Highness King Sheng this time, it's really amazing."
Mandu Ratu didn't know how much strength he had used to endure the anger in his heart, but the current situation was like this, the situation was stronger than people, and he could only endure it.
"You'll know if it's good or not. Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it, at least I'm here today, and what you want to say won't be unspeakable. ”
Glancing at all the officials in the hall, His Royal Highness King Sheng was still domineering.
As for His Royal Highness King Sheng's behavior, the saint did not have any dissatisfaction, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"What Princess Tang means, the retreat of the barbarians back then was related to the King of Tang, although Princess Tang was a princess, but this kind of thing still has to pay attention to evidence, no matter what King Tang is, he is still the prince of Dayi, there is not enough evidence, and it is impossible to judge."
Zhan Ge patted the back of Yan Wushuang's hand to reassure her, and then continued Princess Tang's words, although the words seemed to be putting pressure on Princess Tang, but in fact, they forced King Tang to a dead end.
Seeing that King Tang lowered his head and seemed to be silently patient, Yan Wushuang slowly tightened Zhan Ge's sleeves, as if this could make him feel at ease.
"Of course, I have the evidence, but the important thing I want to say today is not this." Ignoring the discussions of the officials below, Princess Tang looked at the place where Mu Qi was, and there seemed to be a huge sadness suppressed in her eyes.
"Everyone in the capital knows that I was pregnant, but there was an accident during childbirth, and the child died when I was born, and I woke up from a coma, but I never saw the child again, only the child's clothes and mounds, symbolizing that he once existed."
Princess Tang's tone was plain, but her expression was surprised and happy, as if she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, but she didn't know how to show it on her face, which made Yan Wushuang's heart hurt a little.
Mu Qi raised his head and looked at Princess Tang at a loss, he was a little clear about his background, but he didn't know, whose child was he?
The entire Jinluan Hall suddenly fell silent, and only the voice of Princess Tang echoed in the air, so calm, so sad, that people had the urge to cry.
"If he hadn't come to the capital, I wouldn't have known about it, and this life would have passed. But the mercy of God and Buddha allowed me to see him, and it also allowed me to come out of so many years of lies and see clearly what the people around me look like? ”
Suddenly, Princess Tang smiled lightly, as if the whole person had come to life, she looked at Mu Qi gently, and did not hide her self-love.
"Don't be afraid, child, I am your mother, and the first time I saw you, I knew that you were my child. I'm really sorry that for such a long time, for various reasons, I can't recognize you, and I have endured until this time. ”
Mu Qi's face was still full of confusion, and Princess Tang didn't say much to him, but turned around and still looked at Shengshang, although there were tears on his face, his expression was extremely firm.
Put your hands together, bend down and bow down, and your head touches the gold brick.
"Your Majesty Shengming, my father saved His Royal Highness the King of Tang back then, so he entrusted me to him before he died, thinking that he would be able to treat me well for the rest of his life."
Princess Tang's tears fell on the gold bricks and were shattered: "But I didn't expect that whether it was me or my child, it was just a bargaining chip in his hand, I would like to dedicate all the evidence collected over the years to Your Majesty, and I only hope that Your Majesty can reunite my mother and son and make up for the feelings lost for so many years."
The evidence is naturally to be seen, but it is certainly not this time.
Shengshang glanced at King Tang, he still maintained the posture just now, as if the whole person was immersed in his own world, and he didn't know anything about the outside world, so he looked at Mandu Latu.
"The third prince, you may or may not know about the things back then, it doesn't matter, I will send someone to the barbarians to discuss with the leader personally, as for this matter before it is revealed, I will also ask the third prince to stay in the capital temporarily."
"Your Majesty is planning to imprison me?" Mandu Ratu's voice was a little loud unconsciously, and the expression on his face was extremely nervous, which seemed to symbolize his mental activity to some extent.
In this way, Mandu Ratu knows something, and it's good, as long as it's not completely unaware.
"Don't worry, Dayi has always been a country of friendship, how could he do such an impolite thing? It's just for the sake of friendly coexistence between the two countries. ”
The saint comforted Mandu Latu, but this comfort was too distracting, Mandu Latu was resentful, and King Sheng, who was sitting in front of him, coughed lightly, and Mandu Latu's heart was vigilant and suddenly rose.
"Then please keep your Majesty's promise and return my freedom after this matter is clarified."
"Don't worry, I will never wronged a good person, and naturally, I will never let a bad person go."
At this moment, the saint smiled very brightly, but Yan Wushuang suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, really, the saint's smile was too similar to King Sheng.
