So, Zuo saluted to Jin Yantang and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to let this disobedient thing go to the north to participate in the war, if he can repel the Tatars, it is naturally a great thing, if not, it is also his fate to die on the battlefield, and the old man will never complain!" ”

Zuo Xiang said this in a deep voice, and did not look at Shang Kelin during the period.

Listening to his words, Shang Kelin nodded with satisfaction, as if he didn't care about Zuo Xiang's emotions at all.

Since the left minister said so, the other ministers had nothing to argue about, and they all looked at the left minister playfully.

Jin Yantang then said: "Since Zuo Xiang has nothing to disagree with, then after the Chinese New Year, you can pack up and go to Northern Xinjiang by yourself." ”

The war in northern Xinjiang was already scorching, and Jin Yantang could not drive the expedition in person, leaving loopholes for the enemy to take advantage of.

Shang Kelin looked overjoyed, and saluted respectfully: "Weichen has thanked Your Majesty and father!" ”

Hurled a song at the people on the dragon chair, and before the rest of the people could speak, everyone saw Shang Kelin take out a portrait from his arms again, and said with a smile: "By the way, my lords, I got a painting from Tingxiang Pavilion the day before yesterday, it is said that the beauty on this painting was once the orphan of the former General Weiyuan, and the beauty is incomprehensible, but unfortunately he died of illness at the age of fourteen." ”

"But I think these people are a bit exaggerated, how can this person be half as beautiful as my sister Lan'er?"

As he spoke, Shang Kelin opened the portrait in his hand without saying anything, and stood in the middle for everyone to look at.

I saw the girl in the portrait with a moth head and eyebrows, a round face, a small cherry mouth, and black hair hanging down on both sides of the shoulders.

She smiled slightly, as warm as the spring wind, but the sorrow between her brows could not be erased.

The woman in this painting is a well-deserved beauty, and the poem mentioned next to it is also very consistent with her image, and the inscription on it "Zhao Yuqiu", Zhao Yuqiu, is the name of the person in this painting.

And the general Weiyuan that Shang Kelin said was the general who died fighting for the country three years ago.

After all the ministers saw the girl in the painting, their faces changed, they all looked at each other, and whispered: "How can this be the orphan of General Weiyuan?" Didn't the Queen Mother already take the orphan into the palace and become Concubine Jia's mother? ”

"I think this Shang Gongzi is really tired of being alive, even His Majesty's women dare to ridicule?"

At the beginning, at Concubine Jia's canonization ceremony, those who knew Zhao Kehan also changed their faces like today, because they knew Zhao Kehan's true identity.

It's just that I didn't expect that today, Shang Kelin would find out the portrait of the real orphan!

There are also ministers who didn't recognize Zhao Kehan as the princess of the previous dynasty, but had a friendship with General Weiyuan's mansion, and said suspiciously: "I was fortunate to go to General Weiyuan's mansion before, and the girl in that mansion seems to be quite similar to the person in this painting." ”

Shang Kelin listened to the words of these people in his ears, and when they had said enough, Shang Kelin pursed his lips and said impatiently: "Don't fight, I'm sure that the person in this painting is the orphan of General Weiyuan, as for the concubine Jianiang, I have seen it before, and she looks exactly like the princess of the previous dynasty." ”

"It's just that I only recently learned that Concubine Jia's identity as a deceased girl entered the palace, and my son felt inhumane, so at the risk of being resented by Concubine Jia, I had to speak out, and give everyone and the people justice!"

These rebellious words instantly made the hall that was originally whispering explode.

Everyone changed their faces, looked at Shang Kelin on the birthday, and denounced him: "Bold! You don't say that in the eyes of Your Majesty! ”

"Are you saying that Your Majesty doesn't know anyone?"

"Zuo Xiang, look at what good son you have taught, you are so unscrupulous, what a solemn place this Jinluan Palace is, how can you be presumptuous!" 163TXT

"Concubine Jia's innocence, how can you be slandered, didn't Concubine Chen instruct you to do this?"

Before, no matter how noisy these ministers and monks Kelin were, Jin Yantang would not intervene until he heard the words of slandering Concubine Chen.

Jin Yantang's eyes darkened coldly, his fingers moved slightly, and Fupu next to him saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said loudly: "Lords, please be quiet!" Jinluan Hall is important, no noise! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone really quieted down and stood back in place.

Fu Pu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered to Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, the slave will go and change a cup of hot tea for you." ”

After sitting for so long, the tea is cold.

Jin Yantang waved his hand at him, and Fu Pu retreated respectfully, and at the same time, Jin Yantang lowered his eyes and looked at everyone: "You listen to what Shang Gongzi said first." ”

Immediately, Jin Yantang set his eyes on Shang Kelin.

Shang Kelin's expression remained unchanged, and he took the portrait and explained to Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, you really recognize the wrong person, the woman in this painting is the orphan of General Weiyuan, her natal name is Zhao Yuqiu, and it is recorded in General Weiyuan's genealogy. ”

Jin Yantang said indifferently: "It seems a bit ridiculous that you just rely on a painting to prove that Concubine Jia is the princess of the previous dynasty and not the orphan of General Weiyuan." ”

Shang Kelin sighed and said, "Alas, I know that Your Majesty doesn't believe you, but fortunately, I have second-hand preparations." ”

Second-hand ready?

Even though everyone didn't dare to say anything, they all cast curious glances at him.

I saw Shang Kelin take out an old book from his sleeve and said to Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, this is a commentary book I bought when I traveled to Yunnan before, which records the life and deeds of General Weiyuan, and it is also recorded that General Weiyuan does have orphans, and the description of his orphans in the book is consistent with the woman in this painting, and the name of the orphan is mentioned as Zhao Yuqiu." ”

Speaking of this, the hall was instantly quiet for a few degrees.

Everyone looked at Shang Kelin tightly, Shang Kelin paused for a moment, and then bowed to Jin Yantang again: "And the identity of Concubine Jia's princess in the previous dynasty, the same, I believe that you can find records from the scrolls of those royal clansmen, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, those who questioned Shang Kelin and defended Concubine Jia just now stopped talking.

A look of surprise flashed in Zuo Xiang's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

No one spoke for a long time, and suddenly, Jin Yantang chuckled, clapped his hands, and said, "Master Shang, you really have excellent observation power." ”

These words made Shang Kelin's heart sink, but he didn't look up at Jin Yantang, and only said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, the minister also learned it from outside." ”

But it was said that after Fupu left the Jinluan Palace, he didn't have time to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, so he hurriedly found a trustworthy chamberlain and ordered: "You go to Xianya Palace and tell Concubine Chen, and you must be careful to deal with Your Majesty later, don't make a mistake, try to avoid the topic of Zuo Xiang and Monk Gongzi, the early dynasty is over, I will explain to Concubine Chen, you go quickly!" ”

Seeing that Fupu was in such a hurry, the chamberlain didn't dare to slack off for a while, and hurriedly ran out.

Fupu took a deep breath before patting his chest and returning to the Jinluan Hall with a cup of hot tea.

It was just that as soon as he returned to the Jinluan Palace, he heard His Majesty praising Shang Kelin's good observation, and the ministers were silent.

Fupp couldn't help but wonder in his eyes: what did he miss when he went out for such a short while?
