Chapter 147: Don't Be Decent
The Tangram Festival in her previous life was not long after Su Peiying left Beijing, and she was busy playing with Yao's mother and daughter, where did she spend any festival?
I don't want her to take it to heart in this life, the Shen family remembered it for her.
At the moment, he sniffed, and regardless of the stinky sweat on his body, he was tired of holding Shen.
She only hopes that everything she has done in this life can protect them in the end!
When Yan Tang returned to the palace, it was already late at night.
Sun Peng finally chose to confess to the emperor and the pan, and the Qianqing Palace was inevitably stormy. After the emperor angrily reprimanded him, he carried Xu Lingying to the palace for trial.
Everyone automatically ignored the cause of Xu Qian's death in the past, and only focused on the fact that Xu Lingying was the daughter of the Qin criminal.
"It turned out to be Xu Qian's daughter......" Li Rong muttered after listening.
Yan Tang looked over: "Do you know?" ”
He nodded and said, "I'm not very familiar with it, I was still studying in Shuntianfu at that time, and he was the personal guard of the emperor who was the crown prince at the time."
"The emperor has been very close to government affairs at that time, and he often goes to the government to study and inspect the country, so I have seen it."
He also said: "The first king has always had a very good relationship with the emperor, and it was my father who served as the chief historian in the palace at that time, and I occasionally heard my father mention it. ”
Yan Tang nodded, opened and closed the fan in his hand, a little absent-minded.
"Let's go back to our room and rest."
…… Yan Tang didn't really think that Qi Xuan's words were nonsense, but her opinion on Sun Peng's affection surprised him.
But he couldn't refute her statement, so he could only use a sentence of nonsense to hide his heart that was about to be lost.
He had never thought deeply about how Sun Peng should be perfect to Xu Lingying.
He doesn't really care about them, because he hasn't tasted love, can't empathize, and only conventionally thinks that lovers should stay together.
However, her nonchalance and indifference in talking about this, the alienation she conveyed through her cold tone, made his heart feel strangely uncomfortable.
It seemed to define him at a glance and make him feel superficial.
also pushed him away...... Although he and her were not necessarily close.
Her indifference to him, or her disdain for the affection between Sun Peng and Xu Lingying, inexplicably made his mood rise and fall.
…… Qi Miyu mobilized Qi Ziyu and Qi Ziyu early the next morning to inquire about the news, because they couldn't see Yan Tang's face.
How the emperor will deal with Sun Peng and Xu Lingying will not be said for the time being, but what he should do now is to think about how to deal with Batu's side.
Batu's purpose is not to pay the price of the horse, but to set up a stumbling block for Da Yin, so even if Sun Peng confesses the reason, Batu can still rely on that contract to fight with the court.
In the early dynasty, the emperor decreed that Yantang and Sun Peng were jointly responsible for the negotiations with Batu, that is, Sun Peng had indeed not been disposed of at present.
As for Xu Lingying, since this matter has not been reported in the Qianqing Palace, no one in the court knows this person at present.
Yan Nan inquired about the news that she still lived in Lizi Hutong, but there were several more unfamiliar faces in the yard.
You don't have to think about it to guess that this must be the guard that the emperor put in to keep an eye on.
The matter of horse prices did not drag on for long.
After Yan Tang finished arraigning the relevant witnesses in Dali Temple, he went to the hall with the celebrant and the Ministry of Rites.
Batu felt a sense of foreboding since Alita disappeared in the air, and Alita hadn't come back the next day, and the maids couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to confess.
He went to Cuixiang Building to inquire again, and he was even more sure that the situation was not good.
I wanted to take the opportunity to challenge Da Yin, but after thinking about it, I couldn't find strong evidence, and if you couldn't find evidence on other people's territory, then questioning was tantamount to waiting to be slapped in the face.
In this way, even the dignitaries in the palace couldn't find a reason.
After waiting for a long time, he suddenly heard that Sun Peng and Yan Tang had both entered the palace, and even the women from Lizi Hutong were carried into the palace, and then he also knew that the general trend had gone.
His only fight was Sun Peng's secret, and once it ceased to be a secret, his threats would be useless.
But he had Sun Peng's contract in his hand, and on the day he signed the document, he put it out and said to Da Yin's people: "Since Sun Gonggong made a contract and promised to sign the document according to the horse price I said, then it is impossible for us to accept the bargain again." ”
He added: "I don't understand what's wrong with this contract, isn't it very simple for both of us to execute it according to the agreement?" Why bother? ”
The price of the horse that Sun Peng signed to him at that time was naturally much higher than the price he should have, so even if he missed this time, at least he could get a large sum of silver. It's not a loss.
Moreover, this time they brought more than 1,000 people, and the expenses of these people in Yanjing alone are not a small number, and after a series of things before and after, Da Yin definitely does not want them to continue to consume, so as not to cause another accident.
So he still has the confidence to bargain with them.
After hearing what Yan Tang said, he said: "The contract signed by Lord Batu and Gonggong Sun is of no benefit to the Great Yin Imperial Court, and of course this contract cannot be counted.
"If the adults must let Da Yin accept this condition, then at least they must change it until it can convince us.
"And if the lord insists on disobeying, then I can only tell you that I am still in charge of this matter, and without the consent of me and him, this document will be invalid either."
"Then I have to stay in Yanjing and wait for the discussion before leaving." Batu looked at him deeply.
Yan Tang took the cup: "Lord Batu, when the entire Northland grassland is the only one you have horses to sell?" ”
Batu changed color: "Is the prince going to break off his friendship with Wu Ra on behalf of Da Yin?"
"This is a contract made by Sun Peng himself, if the news of Da Yin's breach of the contract spreads, I am afraid it will hurt the dignity of the big country!"
Yan Tang raised his hand back, then sat up straight and looked at the other side: "Lord Batu seems to think that it is easy to take care of my Da Yin." ”
He tapped the table twice, and a guard escorted someone in outside the door.
"Alita!" Batu lost his voice.
Alita bit her lower lip and stood beside her, not daring to move.
Yan Tang said: "This is the female envoy of your country's envoys, Lord Batu doesn't ask why she is in our hands?" ”
Batu gritted his teeth and looked at him: "You dare to hold our female envoy hostage!" Is this a blatant contempt for us!? ”
"Don't get too excited." Yan Tang stood up, "You're talking about hijacking, I don't know if you have any evidence that I hijacked?" If she was held hostage, why didn't Lord Batu report it to the police immediately? ”
Batu froze.
Yan Tang continued: "Lord Batu didn't report to the official, of course, because he knew Alita's whereabouts.
"Because you instructed her to slip away under the noses of the guards sent by our court and infiltrate our confidential office to steal secrets.
"She was caught by our people, and in the name of exercising, she carried out things that damaged the friendship between you and me, but Lord Batu still kept blaming me for breaking the treaty?"
