Chapter 143: Talking
Yu Guifei snorted coldly, "What evidence do you have to prove that it was Concubine Ben who kidnapped her, maybe she eloped with a wild man?" ”
"Shut up!" Ning Jue looked at her fiercely, the coldness in his eyes seemed to devour her, "Yu Guifei, this prince is all he says, you are so self-conscious!" After speaking, Ning Jue turned around and walked out of the tent, and Yu Guifei looked at the back of him leaving, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth.
Let's find it, see if you can find it, even if you know it's her? Anyway, it won't be long before she leaves. Hehe...
"Someone!"
"The Nine Emperors." Qianji stood in front of Ning Jue.
"Find this prince and search along the Furong River. Send another team to the Imperial City! Ning Jue's face was covered with gloom, he didn't believe that he couldn't find it!
"Yes."
Shengcang is a bustling... Well, in the place of fireworks and willow lane, in an elegant room on the second floor, two men in it, one green and one white, sat and drank tea opposite each other, and they all had a good atmosphere, and their every move flowed smoothly, forming a beautiful picture.
"Brother Qingfei, congratulations." Xie Yan raised the teacup, smiled apologetically, and said, "My father is strict, and this time I will congratulate Brother Qingfei with tea instead of wine." To be able to see you get back on your feet is God's sight. ”
Mobei itself attracts attention, not to mention the Hua family, the right-hand man of King Qin, because of the reputation of the Hua family, the three brothers born in the Hua family naturally also attracted attention, not to mention, the three sons of the Hua family are the best in their generation. Because Hua Qingfei's legs and feet were inconvenient before, they didn't talk much, but children from a family like Xie Yan naturally met and dealt with each other.
Hua Qingfei replied and smiled lightly, "It's not that God has eyes, it's that the princess has great virtues." ”
"The princess is indeed a strange woman." Hearing Hua Qingfei mention Gu Qingwan, Xie Yan's mind couldn't help but think of the woman who exuded a noble and compelling momentum in her every move at the Six Dynasties Conference, and she couldn't help but secretly admire it in her heart, but...
"I heard that the princess was forced into the Xiyu army, I don't know..."
"Concubine Xiyu threatened the lives of the people of Pingzhou, and the princess had to enter the tiger's den." Hua Qingfei's eyes were slightly pale, and he drank the tea in his hand, and the fingers holding the teacup gradually turned white. He put down the teacup and regained his expression, "Brother Xie doesn't have to worry about it, and the princess of Xiyu must not have taken it to heart." Don't hide it from Brother Xie, this time Qing Fei came to disturb it, which was exactly what the princess meant. ”
"Oh?" Xie Yan was a little surprised in his heart, he could guess that Hua Qingfei had something to do when he came to Sheng Cang this time, but he didn't expect that he came here for him.
Hua Qingfei raised his head, looked at Xie Yan's puzzled expression, and sighed lightly, "Presumably Brother Xie also knows the origin of the seizure of Prince De's Mansion, right?" ”
It's okay not to mention it, as soon as Xie Yan mentions it, he feels a cloud of anger in his heart, his originally clear eyes instantly became dim, the fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched, the look in his eyes changed a few times before he recovered, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Hua Qingfei and smiled: "What if you know?" The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. Brother Qingfei didn't come here this time to be a lobbyist for the princess, right? ”
"Hehe..."Hearing this, Hua Qingfei laughed in a low voice and did not deny it.
"Xie Yan is not talented, it is Xie Yan's blessing to be looked up to by the princess. However, since Xie Yan is a descendant of the Xie family, he naturally must not betray his ancestors and go against his father's careful cultivation over the years. I also asked Brother Qingfei to make amends to the princess for me. ”
"Brother Xie is really wise. However, Brother Xie should not be in a hurry to shirk it first, this time, Brother Xie only guessed half right. Hua Qingfei said inscrutablely, "Brother Xie is an understanding person, and Qingfei doesn't talk nonsense." What is the status of the Xie family in the court, I think Brother Xie himself knows in his heart, why did Ling Zun retreat bravely when you were in the prime of life, and only hang the identity of a nominal emperor? Why would they take advantage of your injury to push off all military affairs for you? Doesn't Ling Zun want to have a place for the Xie family in the court? ”
After a pause, he said again: "It's not that I don't want to, but I am helpless, if it weren't for the previous concession, the fate of Prince De's Mansion today would be a lesson for the Xie family." Prince De was treated like this because he still had the identity of an uncle and his military merits, not to mention that the Xie family was just a century-old scholarly family. ”
Xie Yan lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a touch of mockery, "Why don't I know what Brother Qingfei said?" My father and I didn't have any big aspirations in our lives, as long as the family was safe and secure, it was enough to be able to survive in secret, and the rest didn't dare to think about it. ”
Hua Qingfei listened to Xie Yan's refusal, flicked his robe and said with a smile: "Qingfei understands Brother Xie's concerns, so naturally he will not force Brother Xie." It is a blessing for the Hua family to meet the prince and the prince, and it is also the ancestor of Hua Qingfei to meet the princess in this life. As a minister, isn't what he wants to be able to assist a Ming monarch? Although Qingfei is superfluous. ”
"Why should Brother Qingfei be arrogant?" Xie Yan frowned lightly and said helplessly: "The court in Mobei is always clear, how many courtiers yearn for it?" But sometimes life is like this, the king has no way, what can he do as a courtier? Do your best and let God do your best. ”
Hua Qingfei raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yan, and the latter didn't feel that he had said anything wrong, and he didn't shy away from it. Since Hua Qingfei came to him, he naturally knew what the situation the Xie family was facing now, so there was nothing to avoid.
"I heard that the verdict of Prince De's Mansion has come down."
Hua Qingfei pulled Xie Yan back with a cold sentence. He looked at Hua Qingfei thoughtfully, but it was clear in an instant, "The secret guards of the Qin Palace's Mansion are really not underestimated. It's just that I don't know Prince De... What will happen to it? ”
Although the Xie family has withdrawn from the court, they still have their own connections in the court management over the years, and now even he doesn't know that Prince De has been sentenced above, but Hua Qingfei, who is far away in Mobei, actually knows everything about it, where did the intelligence come from if it wasn't Mobei? When he lamented Mobei's intelligence sources, he couldn't help but envy the trust of King Qin and the prince in them, and even such private things could be known to them, not to mention if they were the emperor and the third prince.
Hua Qingfei saw the complexity in Xie Yan's eyes, and smiled indifferently, "The information was sent by the princess. You can take a look. ”
"What? The princess? Xie Yan forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart, it was actually Gu Qingwan? After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and smiled: "Sure enough, I mistook the pearl for a fish!" "Sheng Cang's loss of Gu Qingwan is indeed a big loss.
Xie Yan took the note handed by Hua Qingfei, and it was written in four big words: 'Ming Qiu, execution'. His heart was surging, the internal intelligence of the Qin Wangfu was naturally not wrong, and there was no need for Hua Qingfei to lie to him. Let's not talk about the truth or falsity of the information, the word 'execution' alone is already chilling. This time it's Prince De's Mansion, maybe next time it's the turn of Xie Mansion...
"How about I make a deal with Brother Xie?"
"What deal?" Xie Yan frowned.
"Rest assured, this transaction will never embarrass Brother Xie." Hua Qingfei said, "Prince De is innocent and persecuted, what if I say that there is a way to clear Prince De's guilt, stabilize the situation in Sheng Cang, and let Sheng Cang take a breather?" ”
Xie Yan was shocked in his heart, let alone him, even his father and other ministers could not guarantee the stability of the court, let alone a person from another country?
"I don't know what Brother Qingfei's conditions are?"
"Mobei is embattled, and Brother Xie also knows it. If Qing Fei does what he promised at that time, he also hopes that Brother Xie can help stabilize the court and prevent Sheng Cang from interfering in the affairs of Mobei. Hua Qingfei didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.
Xie Yan lowered his head and was silent, this transaction was more beneficial to Sheng Cang. If Prince De is cleared of charges, he will not chill the people of the world, and if the situation in the court is stable, it can develop better in the long run. As for targeting Mobei, Sheng Cang was already more than willing but not enough, and he couldn't interfere at all at present. But at this moment, Hua Qingfei put forward such a condition, which is really a bit unbelievable...
After a conversation, Xie Yan and Hua Qingfei both opened their hearts, although the topic was heavy, but they felt like friends who had known each other for many years, in addition to the political views of the two countries, they could be regarded as like-minded.
When he was about to reach the curfew, Xie Yan sneaked back from the back door, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, someone came to report that Xie Heng was waiting for him in the study. He couldn't help but be stunned, his father was still waiting at such a late hour, maybe there was something important, so he hurriedly turned around and went to the study.
In the study, Xie Heng sat at his desk reading a book, but he was nearly half a hundred years old, but he still had a straight air on his body.
"Father, you haven't rested so late, is something wrong?"
"Nope. Where have you been? Why did you come back so late? Xie Heng raised his head and frowned at Xie Yan and asked.
Xie Yan raised his eyes and met Xie Heng's eyes, and sobbed, "I went to see a friend." I didn't see each other for a long time, so I talked a little more. ”
"Yes." Xie Heng didn't ask any more questions, as long as it wasn't something involving the court, he wouldn't care about these things.
"Father, the child has something to ask you." Xie Yan thought about it and hesitated.
"What's the matter?"
"What do you think the above will do with Prince De?"
Hearing this, Xie Heng raised his head sharply and looked at Xie Yan, his eyes sharp, "Don't meddle in your affairs if you shouldn't be in charge, unless you don't want to live anymore." Of course, if you want to find death, you can, don't bother the Xie family to be buried with you! ”
“... I'm just asking. Xie Yan moved his lips and said, every time he talked about this, his father would use the entire Xie family to intimidate him, telling him to do something 'out of line' every day.
"Alright, it's not early, you can go back and rest quickly." Xie Heng waved his hand and said impatiently.
"Yes." Xie Yan saluted and retired, but was stopped again before he could walk out of the door.
"Xie Yan." Xie Heng suddenly shouted.
"What else does my father command?" Xie Yan turned his head and wondered.
"The county lord is pregnant."
What the?? Qing Wu is pregnant?
Xie Yan was immediately frozen in place by this sentence, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Really?" Xie Yan's eyes were bright, the light in his eyes shone brightly under the light of the candlelight, the smile on his face continued to expand, and he asked uncertainly.
