Chapter 271: No Interruption
And just when Ji Qian was discussing with his henchmen how to deal with Ji Qingchen, in the queen's bedroom, Cui Jingsheng, who had rushed over, was discussing Ji Qian's marriage with the queen and Li Muzhi.
Because this time the queen made a decision after meeting Master Li and asked Ji Qingchen to marry Master Li, it can be said that she is very satisfied with Master Li's appearance and conversation. But just when she decided that Master Li was her daughter-in-law and was about to know Li Muzhi, Master Li had a big problem, since she hid in Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao Palace, and then there was Ji Qian's stupid move to step on the palace.
Now that something like this has happened, it is not a question of how to punish Ji Qingchen, because it is inevitable, and no one will object. But the key to the problem is Ji Qian's marriage, which is the big thing in Queen Cui's heart.
After thinking about it, Empress Cui summoned Li Muzhi and Cui Jingsheng to the dormitory, and wanted to discuss with the two what to do? Cui Jingsheng is Ji Qian's uncle, so naturally he should take care of this matter, as for Li Muzhi, the big disturbance caused by his daughter was naturally solved by his father.
Therefore, the three of them are not very good now!
"Li Qing, how do you think this matter should be solved!" Empress Cui asked Li Muzhi, at this moment she showed a generous and tolerant look, but there was obvious anger in her words, but only Li Muzhi himself could detect this.
"Please rest assured, Weichen is going to the Northern Liao Palace, bringing the little female teacher back, and it will not delay His Royal Highness's wedding." Li Muzhi said sincerely.
Because he is at a loss, he will be inferior to Queen Cui, otherwise as the head of the seven great families and the head of the Privy Council, there is no need to talk to the queen like this.
"It's that the master was brought back by you, and the mourning family feels that her marriage to Ji Qian can't continue!" Empress Cui said lightly, "You have heard the rumors outside now, if you marry Shi Shi Qiang to Ji Qian again, I am afraid it will have an impact on Ji Qian's reputation, of course, the mourning family is also for you, because Ji Qian and Yu Lin rode to the Northern Liao Palace, and they didn't bring back Shi Shi, you just go?" Hmph, the current Ji Qingchen is not easy to mess with! ”
Hearing Empress Cui say this, Li Muzhi didn't feel good in his heart. The father of his daughter, it is right to take him back to the house, and Ji Qingchen's character will definitely not stop him, but what is it that you Ji Qian takes his daughter back to the house? It's not too much to be blocked by Ji Qingchen!
Besides, his dignified general is the chief officer of the Privy Council, can he compare with Ji Qian, a waste?
But Li Muzhi could only slander these words in his heart and didn't dare to say them.
Therefore, he could only nod his head and agree, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager means?" ”
"The wedding still has to continue, but the previously determined candidates will be changed!" Empress Cui said lightly, "Look at the mourning family, Li Xianglan in your house is good, it's her, you go back and let her prepare, don't do the same thing as Master Li this time!" ”
"Please rest assured, the queen will definitely take care of her daughter this time!" Li Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Empress Cui say this, as long as Empress Cui did not pursue the Li Mansion this time, even if he was the head of one of the seven great families and the chief official of the Privy Council, but now it was the period when Empress Cui was in charge, and he had to consider the power of Empress Cui.
But as soon as his words fell, he heard Empress Cui say, "However, Li Qing, the crime committed by Ji Qingchen this time is not small, and how to deal with it will be discussed by your Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall." ”
How smart Li Muzhi was, he immediately heard something else from the queen's words. Now he understands what the queen means, just now the queen didn't pursue the Li Mansion, she just wanted to make a deal with him, that is, to deal with Ji Qingchen. Therefore, now that he has difficulty riding a tiger, he can only bite the bullet and say, "Lao Chen understands! ”
"Well, then you can discuss this matter with the Grand Master!" Empress Cui said, glanced at Cui Jingsheng on the side, and left the main hall of the dormitory.
And Cui Jingsheng already understood what Empress Cui meant, he glanced at Li Mu, and said understandingly, "General Li, there is a jar of wine in the old man's mansion, go have a drink at night?" ”
"Good!" Li Muzhi nodded, he knew what Cui Jingsheng meant.
So the two immediately met and laughed!
And in the Prince's East Palace, when Gu Qi came to the main hall again, the Crown Princess was bowing her head and pondering, and when she saw him, she asked directly, "I don't know what task Mr. Gu has to hand over to our Wei clan when he comes next?" ”
The tone was cold, as if he was blaming the mistake of the previous action. In fact, the crown princess was also disgusted with Ji Qian's various actions of always tempting them with benefits. It's like opium, it gets them addicted.
So he was a little annoyed.
"Naturally, Gu's visit is naturally beneficial to Wei's." Gu Qi didn't bother with the attitude of the crown princess, and still said with a faint smile, "Presumably, the rumors of King's Landing City are already known to the crown princess, right?" ”
"This-" The crown princess said in a half-loud voice, "Yes, I heard that the king of Zhennan stepped on the Northern Liao Palace, but he returned with a feather." ”
"It seems that it is still for a girl, called Master Li." The crown princess said, "I heard that now this person named Master Li is already a well-known strange woman in Dayan, and the person who can make the King of Zhennan and the King of Northern Liao compete is naturally not simple." ”
"Ahem-" Gu Qi coughed, not wanting the crown princess to continue.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Gu, just say anything!" The crown princess said that just now she was so ridiculous about Ji Qian and Ji Qingchen in order to vent the resentment in her heart, but she still knows how to be proportional in the face of major events.
"This time, His Highness was humiliated, and he didn't want to give up!" Gu Qi opened his mouth and said, glanced at the crown princess, and continued when he saw that she was unmoved, "However, because of the queen's Cui Taishi, His Royal Highness can't deal with the king of Northern Liao, so he can only rely on your Wei family." ”
"Of course, the use that His Highness promised to the Wei clan this time is not small, that is, to fulfill the promise made during the previous Beiliao and Beirong operations." Gu Qi said, "What does the crown princess think?" ”
The operations of Beiliao and Beirong failed, so Ji Qian naturally did not fulfill his promise. This made the princess's plan fall through, and she was unwilling. Now that the opportunity is in front of her again, the crown princess is a little tempted.
"I don't know what His Highness Lu Dao means?" The crown princess did not agree immediately, but asked Ji Qian how to deal with Ji Qingchen, and there should be a priority here.
"As long as you vent your anger for Your Highness, of course, the sooner the better." Gu Qi said, seeing that the crown princess was a little puzzled, he continued to explain, "Because the imperial court will not turn a blind eye to the great sin that the king of Northern Liao has put down this time, and will definitely deal with it seriously, His Royal Highness wants to let the people of the Wei clan teach him a lesson before the imperial court deals with the king of Northern Liao." ”
"Is it just for His Highness?" Hearing Gu Qi say this, the crown princess was really moved, if she wanted to hurt Ji Qingchen, it is estimated that the current Wei family will not be able to do it, but if you want to make Ji Qingchen deflated, Shangzhou Wei can still do it. Bining Shangzhou Wei's is also one of the seven great families, even if the strength is damaged, the heritage is still there!
Now it depends on whether Ji Qian really fulfills his promise, so he asked, "What guarantee does Mr. Gu have to guarantee that Ji Qian can fulfill his promise?" ”
"The crown princess can not do it, she didn't force you, but since she chose to promise His Highness, you should believe in His Highness's sincerity." Gu Qi said very arrogantly, "I didn't fulfill my promise before, just because the operation failed, not only your Wei clan has a loss, but our Highness also has a loss." As long as your actions are successful this time, His Royal Highness Ji Zhao will not lose his word about this matter. ”
The crown princess's face was a little gloomy, with her identity, it should have been Gu Qi who was only right, but because the situation was pressing, now she had to bow her head to Gu Qi, a strategist of the Zhennan Palace.
What a great irony for him!
But won't she bow her head for this? No, because everything is for her son Ji Zhao, so that she is willing to do anything.
After thinking for a moment, the crown princess nodded and agreed, "Let Ji Qian wait for news within three days!" ”
Seeing Gu Qi nodding slightly, the crown princess added, "If there is no movement within three days, it means that our Wei clan has failed, and His Royal Highness will not have to look for our Wei clan again." ”
"Since the crown princess agreed, then Gu Qi will leave!" Gu Qi got the thing done, and left the East Palace, he knew how to measure proportions, there were many rights and wrongs in front of the widow, and now the crown princess was a real widow, he didn't dare to stay here for a long time.
"Mr. Gu go slowly, don't send it!" The crown princess said lightly, watching Gu Qi leave the hall. And after Gu Qi left, I don't know when Ji Zhao appeared in front of the crown princess.
"Mother, what did King Zhennan ask us to do?" Ji Zhao asked, his face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth a little. Because he knew that every time Ji Qian looked for them, there must be nothing good to say.
"This matter will be handed over to the mother, you don't have to worry about it!" The crown princess said, her tone different and questioning. This is the last time she and Ji Qian have cooperated, if it is not successful, she will not be ready to seek skin with the tiger in the future, so she has to personally deal with Ji Qingchen, and she can't make any mistakes, so she doesn't need Ji Zhao to intervene in it, because she knows Ji Zhao's ability too well, and she is not the one involved in such things!
"Yes." Ji Zhao hesitated, but still did not refute the words of the crown princess, and nodded in agreement. Now after several failures in the operation against Ji Qingchen, it has also hit him hard, so as long as anyone deals with Ji Qingchen, he has little confidence, not like he was complacent before.
"Alright, go down! The mother concubine still has to think about something quietly one by one, and she doesn't want anyone to disturb her! The crown princess said to Ji Zhao that she really wanted to think about how to deal with Ji Qingchen. And Ji Qingchen also understood the habits of his mother's concubine, so he bowed down and withdrew from the hall.
