Chapter 433: Rumors
"But isn't it, that's what happens when you offend me." Mu Liancheng imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and his brows stretched slightly, "Go lie down and rest for a while, and I'll change your dressing at night." ”
Feng Qingfang obediently obeyed, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.
Mu Liancheng called Eryou and ordered him to mobilize his secret guards to thoroughly investigate Liang Rong and Wang Li.
He originally wanted to conduct an investigation on his own, not to alarm the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and secretly find out the traitors and dispose of them, but what he didn't expect was that the matter that Liang Rong had just been told to keep his mouth shut just today would spread in the barracks on the second day.
Sometimes, after countless mouths to convey it, good things can also become bad things, not to mention the scandal of the queen fornicating with the enemy country and entangled with her old lover.
Qin Luo originally didn't follow to the barracks and had been on standby in Cui County, but after the accident yesterday, Mu Liancheng realized that it was more appropriate to let her follow Feng Qingma, so he asked her to call her over, and she arrived when it was almost dark, and as soon as she entered the barracks, she heard the rumors all over the sky, and she was really shocked.
"It's too much! Who is full of food and has nothing to do, and actually spread my love history blindly? also said that I rekindled my old relationship with Mu Beituo, colluded together to betray the emperor, and plotted against the country? Why does the mouth owe so much? Feng was so angry that he couldn't eat.
That doesn't seem like the point, does it? Qin Luo thought in his heart, some people say that they want to correct you.
"Niangniang don't worry, this kind of rumor will pass as soon as it spreads, after all, there is no real evidence, no one can do anything to you, besides, there is still the emperor here, you better eat first."
"Alas......" Feng sighed lightly, the melancholy between her eyebrows did not diminish at all, she was worried that Mu Liancheng would be embarrassed by her, after all, the anger of the people was difficult to calm, what if the soldiers of the three armies were instigated and collectively asked him to deal with her?
She's probably really unlucky, and she gets into trouble wherever she goes.
Just as Feng Qingfang was worried, at this time, in the Chinese army tent, Mu Liancheng was facing the collective advice of the generals.
Everyone's opinions are unanimous, hoping that he can deal with the queen and Jiang Tianba as soon as possible to calm down the anger of the public, except for Song Yifeng, who was already on Mu Liancheng's side, there is only one person who did not speak - Liang Rong.
He only promised in front of the emperor yesterday that he would keep his mouth shut about this matter and never leak it, but today the rumors are flying all over the sky, and the emperor must think that he said it, and I am afraid that this account will be counted on him.
He was thinking about how to explain to the emperor after everyone left for a while, but unexpectedly, a cold voice came from the top: "General Liang, why don't you speak?" ”
"This, ...... minister"
"What do you think I should do with the Queen?" Mu Liancheng stared at him closely, a strange smile on his face.
Liang Rong shuddered, hurriedly lowered his head, and organized the language: "The minister thinks that no matter whether the queen is really a spy as the rumors say, the emperor should punish her accordingly, even if it is just to imprison her, give an explanation to the soldiers of the three armies, calm their anger, and wait for the army's heart to stabilize, and then find out the truth, the most important thing now is to appease the army's heart." ”
He didn't mention the so-called witness, and the letters that testified against Jiang Tianba, but gave the most useful advice so far, and Mu Liancheng thought to himself, maybe the rumors were not spread by him.
The others nodded their heads and echoed Liang Rong.
"General Wang, what do you think?" Mu Liancheng moved his gaze to Wang Li on Liang Rong's side.
The latter was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect him to ask himself alone, and thought for a moment and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that what General Liang said is not unreasonable, but the queen is the mother of the country of Dayan, and her identity is extraordinary, and she can't move easily, otherwise it will inevitably hurt the national body if it spreads, so the minister feels that it is better to investigate clearly first, and then make a decision, and not just convict the queen based on those rumors that come out of nowhere." ”
He was the only one in the audience who made a completely different suggestion, which should have been very appetizing to Mu Liancheng, but it was precisely because he was so appetizing that it became more and more suspicious.
The last time the enemy camp was raided, only Wang Li and Liang Rong were transferred to Yao County to reorganize the army, so no one informed the enemy, and the Yan army won a complete victory.
After the investigation of the secret guards, it was learned that Wang Li was originally an outsider to Xilin Pass before joining the army, and it was unknown what kind of dealings he had with the Xiyi people before entering the customs.
In addition, the night before yesterday, Wang Li had gone to see Liang Rong in private, and no one knew what the two talked about in the tent, but according to Mu Liancheng's guess, he thought that he should have said something in front of him that the queen and Jiang Tianba were spies.
Liang Rong is brave and good at fighting, strong and upright, but his heart is too straight, and he has a good relationship with Wang Li in private, so he naturally believes in his words, which will determine that the queen and Jiang Tianba are guilty.
In the tent of the Chinese army, everyone did not speak, bowing their heads and waiting for Mu Liancheng's decision.
After a while, Mu Liancheng finally spoke: "Rong Zhen will think about this matter for another night, and tomorrow I will give an explanation to the generals and all the soldiers, okay, let's all step down." ”
Everyone bowed and bowed, and they all withdrew.
Song Yifeng stayed, only to see him take two steps worriedly, hesitated for a while and then turned his head and asked, "Your Majesty, you don't really plan to cure the queen's crimes, do you?" ”
"If she is not punished, the hearts of the people in the army will be chaotic, you say, how should I choose?" Mu Liancheng looked at him with a smile, frowning slightly, and the melancholy between his eyebrows seemed to be absent.
"That can't cure her crimes, you know that someone framed her." Song Yifeng stared at the other party's face and observed the change in his expression, this person is so frantic on weekdays, he didn't believe that he would wronged her in order to calm the anger of the people, but seeing that he was calm, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of countermeasures he came up with, and wanted to test and tempt.
However, Mu Liancheng had already seen his thoughts, and deliberately did not let him get his wish, "I have a sense of proportion in this matter, so don't worry about it, you can take this pile of military affairs back and deal with it, and hand it over tomorrow morning." ”
"Why do you want me to deal with it again? Your Majesty, why have you been getting lazy lately? This is clearly your task. Song Yifeng was upset for himself, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was about to overflow.
"As a member of the army as me, it is your responsibility to deal with these paperwork, and you don't want to shirk it!" Mu Liancheng sorted out the stack of official documents at hand, put them on the desk and motioned to the other party to take them, his expression was quite serious, "Besides, my serious injuries have not healed, I can't stay up late, now it's getting late, it's time to go back and rest, you can do it for you." ”
Song Yifeng pursed his lips, endured this breath, and reluctantly picked up a bunch of official documents and left.
Feng Qingfang stayed in the military tent and had nothing to do, and when he was idle, he lay on the table and dozed off, and after a long time, he felt that someone picked him up, so he tried to open his eyes, and really saw a handsome face like jade.
"Are you done with your business?"
"It's done," Mu Liancheng replied softly, put her on the bed, and reproached slightly: "I told you before, it's cold at night here, you can't sleep on your stomach, it's easy to get sick, why do you always take my words as a deaf ear?" How can you be reassured by the way you look? ”
"I didn't plan to sleep, I just wanted to wait for you while drinking tea, but who expected you to come back so late, I fell asleep in a daze." Feng Qing quibbled.
Mu Liancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "So, it's all my fault?" ”
"Of course." Feng smiled wildly, paused, and suddenly asked, "By the way, how is the situation outside?" Has the anger of the sergeants and generals not subsided? ”
"The rumors are spreading too much, and everyone doesn't know the truth, so it's naturally easy to be led astray," Mu Liancheng sighed, "But don't worry, there will always be a way to deal with it." ”
Seeing that he was so calm, Feng Qingmad couldn't help but ask, "Have you already thought of a way?" ”
Mu Liancheng didn't hide it from her, and said directly: "I thought of it, but I need your cooperation." ”
"Of course no problem, what do you need me to do, you just have to say."
"Come here with your ears." Mu Liancheng hooked his finger at her.
The two whispered for a long time, and before they knew it, the night was dark, and they didn't stop until midnight.
As usual, Mu Liancheng was busy dealing with military affairs early in the morning, and Feng didn't see him after he got up, and she wasn't in a hurry, she just used it too early, wrapped her headscarf, and planned to go out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the camp, Liang Rong walked over with a few people, and he was violent, as if he was going to fight.
"General Liang, is this going to trouble the palace again?" Feng looked at him calmly and asked.
Liang Rong arched his hand and said with confidence: "The minister was ordered by the emperor to come to arrest the queen's mother, and asked the mother not to make senseless resistance and make the minister embarrassed." ”
"The emperor asked you to come?" Feng sneered wildly, his face full of disbelief, "The last time I framed this palace, General Liang is now more and more capable, and he still dares to falsely pass on the holy decree?" I don't know, how many heads do you have to cut off? ”
"Mother, please see what this is?" Liang Rong indifferently took out a token, this brand is made of gold, the size of a palm, and there is a red Yingluo at the end, which is obviously unique to the emperor. ”
Feng stared at the token in front of him frantically, suddenly changed color, and staggered back two steps, barely holding on to his body with Qin Luo holding him.
"No, this is impossible, I was wronged, the emperor obviously believed me, how could he ask you to arrest me? I don't believe it, I want to see the emperor! ”
Liang Rong sneered: "Niangniang, let's save some effort, the emperor has found out that you are Xiyi's spy, it is impossible to see you now, you should obediently follow the minister, if not, the minister will only use strength." ”
