Chapter 289: A traitor in Taoyuan Village
Today's Princess Xiaoxiang is still the same as yesterday, although her clothes are not very luxurious, she is as pure as a hibiscus out of water, but she does not lose her identity. The pen "Fun" Pavilion wears a crystal mask www.biquge.info, so that people can't see her true face.
Wearing a pink embroidered Luo shirt and a pearl white lake crepe skirt, on the melon-seed-shaped white and tender jade-like face, a pair of pear vortices slightly appeared between the cheeks, lightly smeared with rouge, so that the cheeks were polished like a newly opened Qiong flower, white and red. The long black eyebrows, not like a painting, a pair of eyes that are looking forward to life, those seductive eyes, black and white, rippling with intoxicating charm. The wide pearl-white ribbon was curled, and the long black flowing hair exuded a fairy-like temperament.
Long hair and hanging waist, forehead and ear temples with a white and pink intarsia hanging bead hair chain, occasionally one or two disobedient beads hanging down, even added a real and illusory beauty, with a milky white jade bracelet at the wrist, the warm mutton fat white jade exudes an unspoken brilliance, and a light dress complements each other, with a thin silver necklace around the neck, faintly purple luster.
It turns out that every day, these ministers of the court admire such a great beauty, but they still have to control their emotions, which is really embarrassing for them.
Seeing that the ministers and candidates had already taken their respective positions, the princess gestured to her father-in-law next to her.
"The early dynasty starts, and there is a quick report."
At this time, Xi Fengren took the jade wat and said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyu heard that there was no accurate candidate for the selection of horses yesterday, and Her Royal Highness wants these candidates to send an envoy to Mongolia in order to form an alliance. Weichen thought that the envoy was very important, and he needed to send our elite envoys from Western Xia to show the prestige of my Western Xia. The old minister Mao Sui recommended himself that the dog Xifeng Chengjie could take on this important task, as for the others, one is from a remote small village in Western Xia, and the other two are from Southern Chu, if the Mongols know that our envoys actually asked the Southern Chu people to form an alliance with them, wouldn't it be a big joke. Therefore, I still ask Her Royal Highness the princess to withdraw her order and make another arrangement. ”
Xi Fengren had already discussed with those ministers who were on his side, and as soon as he said this, there were ministers below who echoed and agreed with what Xi Fengren said. The generals on the other side heard that Jiang Ge was in high spirits yesterday about repelling the Mongols, and Yang Xixia Guowei also admired this young man very much, and a group of generals led by the general Shang Wusheng strongly supported Jiang Ge to join this mission activity.
The most embarrassing thing is that these two factions are fighting for each word, that is, no one wants Lu Xiaoyu and others to send an envoy to Mongolia, although Lu Xiaoyu and others have no interest in the envoy at all, but being so blatantly ignored by others still makes them very unhappy.
Seeing that the two factions were arguing, the princess patted the phoenix chair, "Have you quarreled enough?" "It wasn't loud, but it was piercing enough to shock all the ministers present.
The people of both factions were silent, and retreated to both sides, and neither of them gave anyone a good look.
"Now that my father is in poor health, he has entrusted the affairs of the entire court to me to manage, now it is not for you to argue about who wants to go and who not to go, but to let you put forward some opinions, these people from Nanchu were specially invited by the Queen Mother from Nanchu, do you even dare to resist the will of the Queen Mother? Since each of you is so justifiable, it is better to defend the authority of my Western Xia everywhere, why don't I send you who are the most eloquent. Whoever just spoke the loudest stood up. ”
The princess was angry, now the Western Xia Dynasty is like a plate of scattered sand and there are many partisan disputes, which have been formed over the years, and it is difficult to uproot them for a while, so they can only be cleared slowly. However, the process of removal was not easy to say, and it was hindered everywhere, and she could only move out of the Queen Mother and the King of Western Xia to shock these disobedient ministers.
As soon as Princess Xiaoxiang said this, the ministers below were silent, no one wanted to be this bird, they wanted to prove that they were loyal and patriotic, but they were not willing to take the risk to do this mission, so they could only live now.
"Your Royal Highness, have you forgotten? Yesterday Lord Wu had already said that he was going to Mongolia, so why not let him talk about his plans. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Xi Fengren threw the pot to Wu Linren on the side.
Wu Linren's official position is smaller than that of Xi Fengren, and when he heard that he focused on himself, he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so he stubbornly stepped out and said: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the official is willing to send an envoy to Mongolia to help me negotiate an alliance in Western Xia." ”
Such a familiar voice, Lu Xiaoyu, who was about to fall asleep listening to the sidelines, looked curiously at the minister who came out of the ranks, only to see that the man was short and slender, with a flattering smile on his face, and two small eyes that he knew at a glance that he was playing a bad idea, Lu Xiaoyu would never forget this person when he died, he was the one who strayed into Taoyuan Village and was kindly taken in by the villagers to entertain him, but after he went out, he reported to Xixia and took the Xixia soldiers to ransack Taoyuan Village, which caused a series of tragedies later. If he hadn't been able to live a carefree and happy life in Taoyuan Village, he wouldn't have to think about this and that all day long and think about some issues that didn't belong to him.
He couldn't wait to rush up and kill that Wu Linren now, but he couldn't have a better plan, he wanted to slowly torture this traitor who ruined his family. He tried his best to suppress his trembling body from being seen by others, and Lu Xiaoyu, who was standing beside him, saw that he was strange, thinking that he was angry because those officials looked down on the Nanchu people just now and excluded them from joining the mission, so he asked with concern: "Brother Bao, are you fine, aren't you just an envoy?" It's a big deal, we won't go, didn't you say you want to go back to Nanchu to have a look? I'll go with you now. ”
"No, I've changed my mind, I must go on this mission, and I must go with him!" Lu Xiaoyu pointed to Wu Linren, who was hanging over the river there, and said.
"What, Brother Bao, do you know this person?"
Lu Xiaoyu was afraid that telling Lu Xiaoyu that this person was the traitor who reported the news would make him lose control of his emotions, so he went up directly to kill Wu Linren, so he had to lie to him first: "Seeing that this person is so eloquent, I want to meet him well." ”
"Well, this man is really good at talking, this black has to be made white by him, you hear he is praising us!"
It turned out that this Wu Linren was a typical two-faced person, and he didn't want to offend the two-faced people, so he first praised the two candidates of Western Xia, and then knew that Lu Xiaoyu was the queen mother, and he did not hesitate to praise it with beautiful words. In the end, he had to sing the praises of the princess for such a wise decision, and the princess rolled her eyes when she heard it.
