Chapter 253: Kill the traitor, be angry!
As soon as Zhong Xiangqing was restrained, he was killed by Li Hongyan, and Tang Ning was so angry in his heart that he wanted to kill Li Hongyan on the spot.
However, now she could only pretend not to know his traitor status, and laughed and helped him up.
"Killing the traitor, this is the duty of the subordinates, how dare you say it." Li Hongyan looked at Tang Ning and made a very loyal appearance.
In fact, except for Tang Ning, very few people know the details of Li Hongyan.
Originally, there were courtiers who were ready to move, but seeing that Li Hongyan, who was the secretary of the military department, and Tang Ning looked so close, they also settled down.
Zhong Xiangqing died, and the biggest obstacle preventing Tang Ning from going back disappeared.
Since Li Hongyan wanted to pretend to be a loyal minister, Tang Ning asked him to pretend to the end, and first put Li Hongyan on his side to threaten the internal enemy.
After Zhong Xiangqing died, the rope connecting Ouyang Songbai with Murong Cang's dark forces was also broken.
Ouyang Songbai only knew that there was an internal response, but he didn't know who the person who was the internal response was. When he saw Li Hongyan making a move, he thought that Li Hongyan was his own person, but when he saw the interaction between him and Tang Ning, he was a little unsure.
In politics, any misjudgment can lead to the downfall of one side.
Because he was not very sure, Ouyang Songbai did not dare to continue to attack Tang Ning. After all, when Zhong Xiangqing shook out the matter of Concubine Jin, Ouyang Songbai had already lost the upper hand in the duel with Tang Ning.
However, Ouyang Songbai didn't want to make trouble, it didn't mean that Tang Ning wanted to let him go.
Taking the opportunity to shoot the water dog is Tang Ning's consistent habit.
"Ouyang Yushi, what do you think of Zhong Xiangqing's words?" Tang Ning glanced at Zhong Xiangqing's corpse, she looked at Ouyang Songbai, and there was a trace of unkindness in her eyes.
If you dare to openly oppose her, you must be prepared to be hit.
"Pure slander." Ouyang Songbai looked at Tang Ning as he spoke, and his face was full of righteousness and awe.
After a pause, Ouyang Songbai said again, "As the eldest princess said, how can the words of the criminal minister be taken seriously. Zhong Xiangqing is Murong Cang's person, he began to slander Your Highness quietly, and now seeing that the general trend has gone, he slanders me again, provoking the relationship between me and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”
"The minister is wronged, Zhong Xiangqing's intention couldn't be simpler, please ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to find out." As a person who has survived in the DPRK for decades, Ouyang Songbai is also very good at excusing himself.
Tang Ning knew that he would die and not admit his guilt, and when he saw him say this, he was not too surprised, but waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to go down and get something.
Although Ouyang Songbai didn't know what Tang Ning was going to do, seeing her like this, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Ouyang Songbai now hated Zhong Xiangqing to death, he was originally at the point where he could advance and retreat. However, Ouyang Songbai didn't expect Zhong Xiangqing to break the net before he died and pulled him into the water.
Ouyang Songbai's surprise was very prepared, and soon, something that changed his face appeared in Tang Ning's hands.
"Ouyang Yushi, the rouge that Concubine Jin gave to the palace, the palace has not used it yet." Tang Ning raised the thing in his hand and said to Ouyang Songbai, "Ouyang Yushi, this is your family's thing, it can't be wrong." Mei Rujin, what do you say? ”
The rouge made by Ouyang Jin is very famous, with special prints on it, and all the small boxes containing her rouge are unified and exquisite, which is difficult for others to imitate.
Although Tang Ning said to Ouyang Songbai, he turned his gaze to one of the courtiers, Mei Rujin.
There are many capable people in the Ministry of Industry, and Mei Rujin is one of them.
In addition to technical manufacturing, Mei Rujin is very interested in rouge. He has always wanted to study Ouyang Jin's rouge, but it's a pity that Ouyang Jin only lets those rouges circulate in the harem, and petty officials like Mei Rujin are still difficult to see in ordinary times.
Hearing Rouge, Mei Rujin's heart was about to move, and when she saw Tang Ning calling him, she immediately stood up with her eyes shining.
Mei Rujin walked briskly to Tang Ning, and after greeting Tang Ning, she respectfully took the rouge box in Tang Ning's hand.
If there are some people in the court of Xiliang who are absolutely loyal to Tang Ning, it is the Ministry of Industry.
Tang Ning made weapons and opened wells and canals in Xiliang, and in order to completely carry out her ideas, she replaced all the Ministry of Industry with her own people.
Now that the DPRK and China are fighting, the people in the Ministry of Industry are not very good at words because they rarely participate in the political struggle, and this time they can only silently watch Tang Ning being criticized. Seeing that she could finally do something for Tang Ning, Mei Rujin had irrepressible excitement in her heart.
Many of Ouyang Songbai's actions in the court can't stand it, and many righteous people can't stand it, and these people naturally include Mei Rujin.
However, Mei Rujin also knows the importance of this matter, the more her heart boils, the clearer her mind is, and the more she thinks about her actions.
"This is the rouge made by Concubine Jin today, and it has the production time on it. Ladies and gentlemen, please see, the box is still in secret, and it has not been opened. While Mei Rujin was speaking, she took the things in her hand and showed them in front of the courtiers and Ouyang Songbai.
The characteristics of the rouge box were too obvious, and the courtiers looked at it and nodded in agreement.
After the display, Mei Rujin opened the rouge box in front of the ministers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you see, this color, this color, especially this fragrance......" Mei Rujin spoke, and walked around in front of the ministers with the box.
Ouyang Jin prides herself on making rouge, and although she has never shown it in public, there are many books on the market that describe her rouge. Several of them have been publicly sung.
Many people thought that the words were too much, but after smelling the smell of rouge, they couldn't help but take a few more sips.
Tang Ning naturally smelled the smell, and seeing the courtier's intoxicated expression at this time, she suddenly frowned and said, "It's poisonous, don't smoke too much." ”
As soon as Tang Ning said this, the ministers woke up from Fang Cai's intoxication.
How did they forget, there was an ingredient in it.
"Ah, not only Hua Gong San, but also Phantom Incense!" Born in a medical family, although Zhang Chongxin's medical skills are not as good as Zhang Chongjing, he also understands a little, and when he saw Tang Ning say this, he immediately said everything he thought.
Mei Rujin heard Zhang Chongxin say this, and after walking around, she returned to Tang Ning.
Standing in front of the courtiers, Mei Rujin raised her eyes and held the rouge in her hand and said, "Generally, rouge production will add something pleasant, but never add anything harmful to the body, unless there is another purpose." ”
"This box of rouge not only adds the Hua Gong San and psychedelic incense that Zhang Shilang said, but also the Huan Yi grass, which makes men emotional. The grass is only a small amount, enough to make a person's heart pound overnight, until exhausted before resting. And ............"
After a pause, Mei Rujin said again, "If Huanyi grass is commonly used, it will make people dependent and affect the normal interest of men, as long as he can't smell this fragrance, it will be difficult for him to be satisfied." Of course, as a poison, its most important effect is to harm the body, poisoning the body little by little. ”
When Zhang Chongxin said that something else had been added to the rouge, the courtiers were already shocked.
After hearing Mei Rujin's mention of Huan Yicao, the ministers glared at Ouyang Songbai angrily.
Soon after the Xiliang Emperor became emperor, Ouyang Jin entered the palace to accompany him. Emperor Xiliang has only had one heir for so many years, which has always been a headache for courtiers.
In the past, the courtiers could only persuade the Xiliang Emperor Dona Concubine, but now they have instantly switched their targets.
When Tang Ning took out the box of rouge, Ouyang Songbai knew that things were not good, but there were thousands of people outside, and it was almost impossible for Ouyang Songbai, a person without martial arts, to break through under the escort of the people around him.
Ouyang Songbai frequently looked at Li Hongyan and begged him for help.
But Li Hongyan stood beside Tang Ning, but he didn't squint.
"Ouyang Yushi, do you have anything to explain?" Just when Ouyang Songbai was thinking about how to escape, Tang Ning's questioning voice suddenly came from his side.
"What do I have to say? Haha......" Hearing Tang Ning ask, Ouyang Songbai suddenly laughed out loud.
He suddenly felt that life was ridiculous, just such a little woman with a stunning face, who could bring him down.
When Tang Ning suddenly appeared in Xiliang as the eldest princess, Ouyang Songbai did not take Tang Ning in his eyes. He felt that Tang Ning was just a woman with a strong and impulsive personality. Even if Tang Ning brought down Murong Cang, Ouyang Songbai just thought she was lucky.
But now...... Although this was their official first round of fighting, in the personal battle with Tang Ning, Ouyang Songbai knew that this woman was not simple.
Ouyang Songbai was laughing now, laughing at himself for being so light on the enemy and falling to such a point.
Tang Ning didn't speak, she let Ouyang Songbai act like he didn't keep his manners.
Poisoning the emperor in the rouge box is a big crime, but not a small crime.
The battle of the harem has always been closely related to the situation in the imperial court. As long as Ouyang Jin's poisoning in the rouge is confirmed, the Ouyang family will be implicated. With Ouyang Songbai's current situation, it is impossible for Tang Ning to kill him directly now, but it is still possible to lock him up.
According to the forces that Ouyang Songbai now controls, he can naturally wait for the opportunity to fight back.
For some, he can endure humiliation. For example, Murong Cang, the king of Weiyuan, can cut off his arm in order to save his life.
But for some people, although he is not a hero, he can be killed but not humiliated.
When he had laughed enough, Ouyang Songbai suddenly took a breath, and when everyone was not paying attention, he suddenly pulled out the knife on the waist of the person next to him, and wiped his neck with the knife.
Ouyang Songbai's movements were very fast and decisive, Tang Ning thought that he would defend himself, but he didn't expect him to be so decisive.
Even Ouyang Songbai's left and right didn't expect him to do this, and he was stunned all of a sudden.
"Your Excellency!" Seeing Ouyang Songbai falling down, he immediately went to help him.
Tang Ning didn't expect Ouyang Songbai to be so decisive, she thought that Ouyang Songbai would deny it in many ways like Murong Cang, and then take the opportunity to make a comeback.
Soon, there were a few more corpses in the wilderness.
After Ouyang Songbai committed suicide, the people around him also immediately killed themselves with knives.
The smell of blood permeated the wilderness, and many things on the scene were a little beyond imagination, and everyone didn't say anything for a while.
But death, in many cases, does not mean the end, it is only the beginning.
