Helian Ying, who was on the throne of the dragon chair, heard Prime Minister Qin's advice thoroughly, disagreed, and smiled indifferently: "Just because Gongliang Jie'er and Concubine Ying'er look similar, it is too arbitrary to conclude that Gongliang Jie'er is the former Concubine Ying!" I know that all Aiqing will inevitably be suspicious when they hear the rumors about Gongliang Jie'er, but Gongliang Jie'er is a famous family, and it is true that she is the daughter of Gongliang's Ao, Hou of Pingxi, and besides, Gongliang Jie'er is pure-hearted and virtuous, and it is not a few rumors in the market that can be slandered! Shouldn't all Aiqing believe it just because of a few gossips, and fall into the plan of others? ”

"This ......" Prime Minister Qin was dumbfounded for a while. Although Prime Minister Qin Cheng doubted the identity of Gongliang Jie'er, as Helian Yingche said, it was a bit far-fetched to conclude that Gongliang Jie'er was the former demon girl of the country, Concubine Yingyun, based on a few rumors among the people.

Seeing that Prime Minister Qin was speechless, Meng Zhao, the waiter of the Criminal Department, took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Although the rumors in the market are not enough to be fully believed, they must not be guarded against!" Whether Gongliang is the concubine who died violently in the cold palace in the past remains to be confirmed. Nowadays, the people of the Imperial City have decided that Gongliang Jie'er is the demon girl Concubine Yun Jie'er, and this matter has spread widely, and almost few people in the Imperial City do not know about it. The minister thought that no matter whether this Gongliang was a concubine or not, the emperor should draw a clear line with her and keep a certain distance. lest the resistance of the people in the city to the public and good children will affect the emperor. ”

Other ministers in the court also responded one after another, bowing down to advise, only Yiqi King Helian Yingchu, Heze King Helian Yingtai, and Zhengbei General Ning Qi and others who had long known the hidden situation of this matter remained neutral on this matter and did not say much.

All the ministers above the court advised together and put pressure on Helian Yingche, just like forcing Helian Yingche to beat Concubine Yingyun into the cold palace back then. It doesn't look like there's any room for manoeuvre.

Helian Yingche looked at the courtiers who bowed down to petition and advise, smiled slightly, and said in a lazy voice: "All Aiqing want to put pressure on me together?" ”

Prime Minister Qin Cheng took the lead and said: "The ministers don't dare!" The ministers just want to advise the emperor, don't be confused by beauty, fall for the beauty scheme, and do things that make relatives painful and enemies happy! ”

Helian Yingche snorted with a smile and said, "You are also loyal!" However, the rumors spread everywhere about Gongliang were deliberately framed and slandered against her. She was wronged, so what is the crime?! Just because she has the same face as Concubine Ying, you prejudicefully believe that Gongliang Zhu'er is a demon girl who charms the king's heart, so what is the difference between you and those people in the imperial city who don't know and listen to rumors?! Regarding this matter, I have my own opinions, and I will never put this matter in the coffin because of two rumors, and abandon the good and the good. Instead of having such time to ponder the details of these rumors and abandon the basics, it is better to settle down and discuss the practical countermeasures to deal with the invasion of Rouyi. ”

Helian Yingche's favoritism and defense of Gongliang is something that all the ministers in the court and China know. Even at this time, Helian Yingche still favored and trusted Gongliang without hesitation, and Prime Minister Qin Cheng and the others did not feel strange.

It's just that the society of the country is important, if Helian Ying's heart is really bewitched by the demon girl, lost his mind, and indulged in lust, it will be the death of the Great Yan.

Meng Zhao, the servant of the Criminal Department, spoke out again: "I heard that the emperor has already intended to entitle the son of the Marquis of Pingxi, that is, Gongliang Yao, the twin brother of Gongliang Zhu'er, as the general of Pingyi against the Rouyi army, I don't know if this is really the case?" ”

Helian Yingche lowered his eyes darkly, looked carefully at the well-informed ministers of the DPRK and China in front of him, raised his lips slightly, and replied with a lazy smile: "I have this intention. ”

"The minister thinks that before the identity of Gongliang'er is thoroughly investigated, the emperor must not reuse Gongliangyao!" Meng Zhao, the servant of the Criminal Department, spoke out and advised.

"Why not? Just because Gong Liangyao is Gong Liang's own brother?! Helian Yingche asked disapprecantly.

"It's good that Gongliang Jie'er is not a fine work that King Annan placed next to the emperor, if Gongliang Jie'er is really a fine work, he wants to bewitch the emperor through a beauty scheme, let her own brother be the king and worship the prime minister, and take charge of the military power to lead the troops against Rouyi, isn't it just to make a wedding dress for Gongliangao, Marquis of Pingxi! Pingxi Hou is in charge of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, has been guarding Xiguan, although the war achievements are great, but it is inevitable that the achievements will not be high, and there is a different heart. If, this time, his son Gongliangyao was promoted to a general because of Gongliang's nepotism and led the pacification of the Southern Army, wouldn't it have strengthened the morale and prestige of the Gongliang family even more! In case Pingxihou defects and returns, it is difficult to guarantee that the rebellion of King Annan will not be repeated. I hope the emperor will think twice! Meng Zhao, the servant of the Criminal Department, admonished from the perspective of Helian Yingche and the entire Great Yan, but it was also mixed with a little jealousy of Pingxi Hou Gongliangao.

Helian Yingche had long known that the ministers of the central government were afraid of the Pingxi Hou Gongliangao, and some people were even more worried that the Pingxi Hou Gongliangao was in power and had high merit to cover the master, so he would have the heart of conspiring against the king. Ning Qi, the general of the expedition to the north earlier, was also so suspicious of the first emperor Helian Yunhuang, but Ning Qi knew how to be flexible, and in order to solve the suspicions of the first emperor Helian Yunhuang, he not only handed over the military power, but also sent his only daughter Ning Pingzhi to the harem as a concubine. In this way, it not only solved the doubts of the first emperor, but also saved the lives of the people of the Ning Mansion, and also found a relatively safe way out in the future. Therefore, Ning Qi, the general of the expedition to the north, will be reused by the first emperor and the empress dowager He Lanyan, and no longer have any worries.

However, Pingxi Hou Gongliangao is inevitably a bit more upright, speaking and acting, straightforward and upright, not knowing how to be roundabout, and not flattering. Fortunately, the West Pass was difficult to defend, so the first emperor had to reuse the shrewd and capable Gongliangao, and fortunately, the new emperor Helian Yingche was not a suspicious person, which made Pingxi Hou and the entire Pingxi Hou Mansion safe and sound for decades.

However, whether the ministers of the DPRK and China were jealous of or rejected the Pingxi Hou Gongliangao, in short, there were few of Gongliangao's colleagues who did not want to see the jokes of Gongliangao and the Pingxi Hou Mansion. The so-called tree moves the wind, and the gun shoots the first bird, which is exactly this reason.

Now, Meng Zhao, the servant of the Criminal Department, openly raised the concerns in his heart, and it happened to remind Helian Yingche, who said with a smile: "I have a way to solve Meng Aiqing's concerns." ”

Helian Yingche looked at the puzzled reactions of the ministers in the audience, and then said: "I know that many Aiqing in the court are afraid of the 300,000 elite soldiers in the hands of Pingxi Hou Gongliangao, and even think that Pingxi Hou Gongliang Ao is a master of high merit, and one day, he will kill the monarch and usurp power and plot the throne. However, I thought that if I included Gongliang'er, the daughter of Gongliangao, the Marquis of Pingxi, into the palace as a concubine, then Gongliangao would become my father-in-law, and Gongliangyao would be my uncle. ”

When Prime Minister Qin and the others heard this, they hurriedly bowed down to dissuade: "The emperor thinks twice!" The identity of Gongliang is undecided, how can the emperor just include a woman with an unclear identity into the harem and stay by the emperor's side to serve? If the emperor does this, isn't he burying hidden dangers around him? ”
