Chapter 342: A Trick to Lure the Enemy
"Your Highness......"
"Everything else is up to you. I'll take care of this matter, okay? Although he spoke to her gently, his attitude was very resolute.
Of course, Yun Moxi knew the purpose of his investigation of this matter, but if he used this matter to withdraw from the marriage, not only would he offend Shi Shouxin and Zhao Pu, but the recovery of taxes and silver would inevitably be more obstructed, which was not what the emperor wanted to see.
What's more, she didn't want Zhao Ting to withdraw from the marriage for herself.
Shi Shouxin heard that King Wei was really moving, and his irritable temper couldn't help it.
clenched his fists and pleaded: "Yin'er is young and ignorant, and she offends the county lord in a moment of confusion. I hope that His Royal Highness and the county lord will forgive her this time. If this matter spreads, not only Yin'er's life will not be able to be saved, but even the Prime Minister will not be able to raise his head from now on, please raise your hand. ”
"The words of the prince are wrong, the daughter of the dignified prime minister is arrogant like this, and the emperor dares to assassinate the lord of the first grade, where is the law?" Zhao Ting was unmoved.
Shi Shouxin was blocked for a while, and his heart was anxious, and he didn't know how to argue to save his righteous daughter's life.
Yun Yueqi stood aside with her arms crossed, looking at it coldly.
Zhao Ting said coldly and loudly: "Someone! ”
"In!" He Chong stepped forward and responded.
"Send someone to escort Zhao Zhiyin to see the capital Mansion Yin!"
"Yes!" He Chong waved his hand, and the two palace guards behind him stepped forward, pulled Zhao Zhiyin up and was about to leave.
She knew that she had committed a capital crime, and if she couldn't get him, she would die!
"Your Highness, slow down!" A voice came.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a middle-aged servant woman pushing a wooden wheelchair and walking over, followed by several maids.
There was a woman sitting in a wheelchair, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, although she was middle-aged, she still had charm.
A pair of bright eyes are heroic, and they do not weaken the slightest momentum because they are in a wheelchair.
At this moment, the corners of his mouth are pursed, and he has a majesty.
When the people in Shifu saw her, they saluted one after another, and they were very respectful.
Shi Shouxin's eyes lit up when he saw her, his face was full of joy, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "It's late at night, why hasn't Mrs. slept yet!" ”
It turned out that the person in the wheelchair was the Duchess of Weiguo.
Mrs. Shi glared at him and scolded lightly: "Yin'er is going to prison, can I still sleep peacefully?" ”
"I didn't handle it well." Guiltily bowed his head.
"If there is anything wrong with Yin'er, how do you explain it to Xiangye?"
"It's all because I didn't think about it, but I didn't expect Yin'er to be so well-behaved and docile today...... Hey!" A long sigh of helplessness.
Although she knew that Yin'er would definitely be unhappy when she saw King Wei and Lord Yunxi together, she didn't expect that people who had always been sensible and intelligent would be so bold that they would have murderous thoughts.
Mrs. Shi looked at him dejectedly and ignored him.
Looking at Zhao Ting and Yun Moxi, "I haven't seen you for a long time, is Your Highness okay?" ”
Duchess Wei Guo is also a first-class lady, so she is also on an equal footing with Yun Moxi.
Zhao Ting has great respect for this Duchess of Weiguo, although he has not had much contact in recent years, he often saw him in the military camp when he was a child, and he also cared for himself very much.
The attitude was gentle, "With Mrs. Lao's concern, this king is very good!" I just don't know how ...... Madame's legs."
"When I was young, I was injured and became an old disease for many years, and it hurt when the mountains were wet. These days have just recurred, so I can't get up to greet him, and I hope His Highness will forgive me! ”
"It doesn't matter! Madame, don't be polite! ”
"Your Highness!" She glanced at Zhao Zhiyin, "Really send Yin'er to the official?" ”
"The prince has to be guilty of the same crime as the people when he breaks the law, so does the lady want to intercede for her?"
Madam Shi smiled calmly, "What Your Highness said is that if you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished. It's not a plea, it's just that this matter implicates the dignity of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Weiguo Mansion and the Wei Wangfu, so let's discuss it again, even if it is not too late to send the official tomorrow, why rush tonight. ”
"What else needs to be discussed, everything is clear, and she admits it herself." It seems that this Mrs. Shi is really not simple.
"Fortunately, the county lord was not injured, and His Highness was also discouraged. Can you move and talk inside? This mountain dew is heavy, and these legs are really unbearable! "Pounding his legs, it seems that he really can't stand the moisture, and he looks uncomfortable.
Zhao Ting knew that she was just delaying the army, and she didn't want to compromise if she delayed. Even if you know that this matter will affect the collection of taxes, you will offend the Prime Minister and the Patriotic Mansion.
But he was still determined to use this incident to push off the marriage, and it was difficult to have an excuse to get the imperial brother to withdraw the holy decree if he missed this opportunity.
wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but before he could speak, Yun Moxi preemptively said: "The prince and the lady will go back to the house first, and we will arrive later." ”
Madame Shi glanced at her meaningfully, "Thank you, County Lord!" ”
Shi Shouxin hurriedly took the wheelchair, pushed her back, and walked back.
Mrs. Shi made a look, and the two maids stepped forward to help Zhao Zhiyin and follow in.
Zhao Ting didn't know what Yun Moxi meant when he saw Yun Moxi talking, so he didn't stop her.
After the people in Shifu left, he asked, "You don't really plan to let her go, do you?" ”
"She just has a deep affection for His Highness and is not a wicked person, so why bother her!"
"Embarrassed? She's going to kill you! Zhao Ting said angrily.
"I'm not good." She said indifferently.
Zhao Ting was angry and looked at Yun Yueqi.
Yun Yueqi didn't participate in them, she retreated with a blank face and disappeared into the darkness.
He Chong had already retreated to the corner gate with the guards.
"You already knew she was Zhao Zhiyin?" He asked suddenly.
"She looked at you a little differently when she danced, I guessed it."
"Now that you know why you came to such a remote place with her, didn't you guess that it would be dangerous?"
Silent and silent.
"Since you know that she caused you to be uneasy and kind, and Yueqi also followed, why did you give her a chance to do it?"
Yun Moxi saw that he was really angry, and said softly: "Since I am not injured, Your Highness, don't pursue it anymore." ”
Zhao Ting refused to give up, and asked angrily: "You deliberately gave her a chance to make a move!" ”
"Shi Shouxin wants to use taxes to force you to accept the marriage contract, so we can also use Zhao Zhiyin's mistake to force them to hand over the silver obediently."
"But you're not afraid of what happened if you put yourself in danger like this?" I couldn't help but say distressedly.
"As long as you can help Your Highness solve the matter of the Northern Expedition's military salary, it doesn't hurt to use some means. Your Highness, don't you forget the purpose of our trip? ”
"I haven't forgotten! But this is not a conflict, then Zhao Zhiyin will be severely punished if he wants to kill you. Since you are in danger, I also happened to find this excuse to force the imperial brother to withdraw the marriage decree, and the opportunity to send it to the door should not be missed. ”
"I don't have good intentions to let His Highness use it like this. If Zhao Zhiyin is really punished, Wei Guogong will definitely not obediently cooperate with the payment of taxes and silver, but will obstruct it in many ways. If he doesn't take the lead, it's hard to convince others. ”
Zhao Ting snorted coldly: "I came to persuade him in person, just because he was highly respected for his meritorious deeds. If he really doesn't cooperate, he has to be strong. Tax arrears can be punished according to law, but the royal brother has always given them face. ”
"Your Highness is right. But in this way, the ministers of the DPRK and China are bound to complain, and they will make trouble by starting up. But if you can do it in a gentle way, why force it? If it is the best policy to come by force, His Majesty will not send us here. ”
How could he not understand these truths, but he was unwilling, and he didn't want to let go of the people who caused harm to Yun Moxi, let alone let go of this opportunity to withdraw from his relatives.
