084 The country changed hands
Knowing that Du Yao was testing himself, Fang Weizhong bowed down and said:
"The queen mother can trust the old minister so much, the old minister is grateful, since the queen mother wants to enter the palace, then the old minister will enter the palace with the mother."
Seeing Fang Weizhong's compromise, Du Yao smiled slightly, in fact, she knew that Fang Weizhong was unwilling to enter the palace, but the matter had reached this point, so Fang Weizhong couldn't excuse herself too much.
As soon as they entered the palace, Du Yao and the others rushed to the main hall, and at this time, Wu Zhen seemed to be waiting for them in the main hall.
In the huge conference hall, a wonderful show is being staged.
Du Yao's face was not very good since she entered the main hall, and Wu Zhen looked at her with a slight displeasure in her heart.
Under Qin Xiao and Burning Rain's narration, Wu Zhen's face was obviously ugly, and he looked at Qin Xiao with a little more disappointment.
"Your Majesty, Xieyulou has been on Your Majesty's side since His Majesty ascended the throne, I think Your Majesty knows, but General Qin intends to capture Burning Rain, no matter what, Burning Rain is the deputy envoy of Xieyulou, I don't know if Your Majesty can give an explanation to Xieyulou."
Seeing that Hua Liangying's tone was firm, Wu Zhen couldn't help but give her this face.
"Qin Xiao has been by my side for many years, and it is inevitable that there will be reckless things to do, and I hope that the master of the Flower Pavilion will not mind."
"The matter has already been out, Your Majesty just took one sentence to deal with this monarch, wouldn't it be too perfunctory, or does it mean that in Your Majesty's opinion, the Wu family doesn't need the help of Xieyulou."
"Qin Xiao, it's not like the Flower Pavilion Lord apologizes!"
Facing Hua Rongying's pressing step by step, Wu Zhen said that he was very helpless, and he didn't want Qin Xiao to bow his head in front of so many people, but everything has priorities, and now at this time he can only grieve Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao had a lot of complaints about Wu Zhen's decision, but because of his identity and Wu Zhen's coercion, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to make a gesture to Hua Xiangying.
"Benjun doesn't need your apology, you should apologize to the deputy envoy of burning."
At this juncture, she didn't plan to give Qin Xiao any good looks, if Wu Zhen couldn't give her a satisfactory explanation today, she would definitely not spare Wu Zhen.
Qin Xiao never thought that Hua Rongying would threaten him with this matter, and let him apologize to Hua Rongying, he could accept it, because Hua Rongying was the pavilion master of the Xieyu Building, and he had certain rights in his hands, which he was convinced, but Burning Rain was just a small deputy envoy, why should he apologize to her!
Du Yao, who was on the side, noticed Qin Xiao's reluctance, so he said on the side:
"It seems that General Qin is reluctant, so let's do it."
As soon as Du Yao's words came out, Wu Zhen's face became more and more bad, and he said angrily:
"Qin Xiao!"
Wu Zhen's voice resounded in the hall, and Qin Xiao was angry with his master, so he had to bow his head to the burning rain and admit his mistake.
"Burn the deputy envoy, what Qin Xiao did today is not very appropriate, and I hope that the deputy envoy will be burned."
"General Qin, in terms of identity, I am only the deputy envoy of Xieyulou, since General Qin can admit his mistakes to me, why can't he admit his mistakes to the queen's mother? Today, the general and Niangniang quarreled at the gate of the city, and Niangniang was already unwell. ”
Burning Rain's words clearly showed that he didn't intend to let Qin Xiao go, seeing this, Wu Zhen said to Du Yao:
"Does the Queen think so?"
A sharp gaze swept over, Du Yao met Wu Zhen's eyes, and said without humility or arrogance:
"The concubine thinks that His Majesty should give the concubine an explanation."
Knowing that Du Yao wanted an explanation, Wu Zhen smiled and said:
"What explanation does the queen want?"
"Why is Your Majesty not believing in his words?"
The moment he looked at Du Yao, Wu Zhen understood what Du Yao meant.
"I never promised you that you would let the Fang family go, that's just your illusion."
"What a delusion! An illusion of His Majesty can make hundreds of people in the prince's mansion scatter overnight, an illusion of His Majesty can make many wives of families scattered, and an illusion of His Majesty can make the concubines disheartened. Your Majesty is such a delusion! ”
Du Yao was very emotional when he said this, and when he saw this, Wu Zhen said:
"As the queen, you should have considered the country of the eagle, but you mean to protect your mother's family! Du Yao, you are guilty! ”
"The concubine doesn't know!"
Seeing that Wu Jianxing asked Du Yao for sinking, she was not afraid at all, and in her opinion, it was a big deal to break the jar with Wu Zhen.
Looking at the stubborn Du Yao in front of him, Wu Zhen didn't know what to say, he thought she was a reasonable person, but this time she was too willful!
"Du Yao! You don't have to rely on my love to do whatever you want! If it weren't for the Rain Tower, you would have thought I would marry you into the door! ”
At this time, Wu Zhen didn't care about Du Yao's body, his muscles swelled, and his face was dark, which surprised everyone.
Looking at Wu Zhen's appearance, Du Yao smiled bitterly, and then said:
"I thought I could be different from other women in your heart, but it turned out that I thought highly of myself."
As a drop of clear tears fell, Du Yao raised her head stubbornly, she just looked at Wu Zhen straight like that, refusing to say a word.
None of the people present thought that Du Yao would say such a thing, they thought that it was a complete transaction between Du Yao and Wu Zhen, but they didn't expect that there were still people who didn't have the right thoughts.
Seeing Du Yao stubbornly looking at himself, Wu Zhen also realized that Fang Cai's words were a little hurtful, and he wanted to say something more, but he still swallowed back the words when the words came to his mouth, maybe he must treat Du Yao like this.
Seeing that Wu Zhen didn't answer what he meant, Du Yao sneered:
"Wu Zhen, you can't move the Fang family!"
Du Yao also made a last-minute decision, she wanted to protect the Fang family, no matter what Fang Weizhong did was right or wrong, she had to protect the Fang family.
"Queen Mother, you must not do anything against Your Majesty's wishes just because you are angry with Your Majesty!"
Li Qinlin on the side saw that Du Yao was deliberately going to fight against Wu Zhen, such a scene was naturally the last thing she wanted to see, and she didn't want Du Yao to be hurt in the end.
Li Qinlin's words Du Yao heard it, but she didn't plan to retreat half a step, seeing this, Hua Lingying said:
"The Holy Maiden's order is unconditionally obeyed, and I hope that Chengzong will think twice about this matter."
Seeing Hua Rongying and the others standing beside her, Du Yao's heart was full of emotion, she noticed that Fang Weizhong cast a strange look at her, and then just laughed at it.
Wu Zhen never thought that Du Yao would choose to stand on Fang Weizhong's side, he thought that she would not interfere in this matter, but what he didn't expect was that she was still involved.
"Are you sure?"
Wu Zhen's words did not give Du Yao any leeway, and Du Yao knew that he would never be able to turn back after making this decision.
"Yes."
The decisive word is straightforward, Du Yao is ready. Fang Weizhong, who was not far away, felt a little guilty when he saw Du Yao's determined appearance, this matter was his fault, and Du Yao should not be allowed to bear it for the Fang family.
"Okay, very good, then I'll let you know what good things Fang Weizhong has done over the years!"
Wu Zhen said and slapped a thick stack of folds on Du Yao's body, and Du Yao calmly picked up the folds and looked at them. Those shocking figures made her feel terrible, she never thought that Fang Weizhong had embezzled a lot of state property over the years.
Noticing the stunned look on Du Yao's face, Wu Zhen continued:
"Over the years, Fang Weizhong has embezzled nearly 50 million taels of gold inside and out, which is not a small amount! Where does the queen think this money has gone! Is it enough to raise an army of 30,000 men! ”
When Wu Zhen said this, he couldn't bear it, what does 50 million taels of gold mean? That means five years of spending in the country, and such a large amount of money is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Even if Fang Weizhong is corrupt, what does that mean? Your Majesty is based on this judgment that Fang is loyal to the private army? ”
Du Yao will definitely not let go until she sees enough evidence, she has to spend so much time with Wu Zhen now, as long as she can delay time, there will be a way to rescue Fang Weizhong when she thinks of Fang Tianqi.
In the face of Du Yao's crooked reasoning, Wu Zhen was very angry.
"Isn't that evidence enough to say anything! Over the years, Fang Weizhong has purchased food, made weapons, and gunpowder, how should these accounts be calculated! ”
"Even if Fang Weizhong raised the army privately, then why didn't he overthrow the Wu family's regime early, but waited until now?"
"I didn't say he was going to rebel, why is the queen so nervous?"
"This palace is just talking about things, so Your Majesty shouldn't use the topic to play."
Everyone in the hall saw the argument between Wu Zhen and Du Yao, and no one dared to come forward to say anything, and everyone knew that Wu Zhen would not do anything to Du Yao no matter what.
"Fang Weizhong, do you have anything to say about this?"
At this time, Wu Zhen still wanted to hear what Fang Weizhong thought, and he wanted to know Fang Weizhong's purpose of raising the army privately.
Seeing Wu Zhen open his mouth for interrogation, Fang Weizhong straightened his clothes, and then said:
"So far, I don't know what Your Majesty wants the minister to say?"
Fang Weizhong, who met Wu Zhen's eyes, did not flinch for a moment, but looked at him carefully. He watched Wu Zhen grow up, he knew that Wu Zhen had suffered for so many years, and now that Wu Zhen has become like this, he can't say anything, he is more nostalgic for Wu Zhen in his heart, if Wu Zhen is the emperor, the country of Yi Ying will be prosperous, and he will try his best to assist, how can he raise the army privately?
Wu Zhen saw the stubbornness of Fang Weizhong, he was not helpless in the face of the stubborn old man in front of him, he just didn't want Fang Weizhong to say any nonsense.
"I want to know the reason why Fang Guoshi keeps the army privately."
"Your Majesty really wants to know?"
Noticing Fang Weizhong's playful expression, Wu Zhen had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Father, say whatever you want, I want to hear the truth when I think of Your Majesty."
Du Yao could obviously feel the nervousness in Wu Zhen's heart at this time, she might have guessed the reason why Fang Weizhong would raise the army privately.
Seeing Du Yao so supportive, Fang Weizhong naturally would not let her down.
"The reason why the old minister wants to raise the army privately is nothing more than because the country has changed hands, and the old minister just wants to protect himself."
Fang Weizhong's words were very calm, and Wu Zhen smiled when he heard Fang Weizhong's words.
