Chapter 32
In the end, Emperor Jin still did not send Shen Luyi to Xiao Guoheqin, he chose another county lord to send Xiao Guoheqin on the grounds that Shen Luyi had promised to marry her husband's family.
The moment she received the news, Yun Tian had already put the rumors in the harem behind her, in her opinion, Emperor Jin was sincerely pampered by Shen Luyi, not the guilt in the rumors.
At that moment, Yun Tian finally figured it out, in fact, on the day of the night banquet, Emperor Jin suddenly mentioned that the matter of harmony was just his temptation.
It is not to test Shen Luyi's filial piety. Because when Shen Luyi asked him to accept and kiss, he was not shocked, but sure that Shen Luyi would be like this.
So his words tested everyone's attitude towards Xiao Guo.
She thought that he should be satisfied with the answer that Emperor Jin received.
Especially Xi Ze, he took the lead in standing up and asked Emperor Jin to refuse to make peace, and his attitude towards Xiao Guo was very tough, which must have made Emperor Jin very satisfied, Yun Qian thought, this may be one of the important reasons why Emperor Jin treated Xi Ze leniently in the end when Jin Guifei was in trouble that night.
Following this news to Yun Tian's ears was the news that King Gong was acquitted and King Chang was sent to Dali Temple.
In just a few days, the changes have been staggering.
And what prompted this change was a center general named Xu Yuan.
As the savior of King Chang, when Emperor Jin personally asked him what reward he hoped to receive, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, trembling like chaff, although his tongue was no longer clever, but he still clearly conveyed to Emperor Jin that it was the message that King Chang had instructed in advance.
Soon, several more generals who participated in the Battle of Cangzhou came to testify for Xi Ze, and strongly proved that Xi Ze had never overstepped his authority and disregarded human life in the army!
So that night, King Gong and Wang Shouxing were released from Dali Temple, and instead King Chang was sent to Dali Temple for review.
By the time Yun Tian learned the whole incident, it was already the seventh day after the night banquet.
On this day, Lan Jun secretly summoned Xi Ze again, and Yun Tian was still hiding in the small compartment behind the phoenix seat of the Chaofeng Palace, listening to the undisclosed conversations of the people in the hall.
The only difference is that the news of Lan Jun's summoning of Xi Ze last time was received by her inadvertently, and no one knew about her hiding in the cubicle, but this time, it was Lan Jun who couldn't stand her soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he specially allowed it.
Yun tilted through the curtain and looked at the people in the hall arbitrarily, only to see that although he had lost a lot of weight, he was in good spirits. He casually and respectfully made a gesture to Lan Jun, and said loudly: "Xi Ze greets the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”
Without the indifference and alienation of the last time, at this moment, he was more like an ally standing on the same level as Lan Jun, close and friendly but keeping an appropriate distance.
This time, Lan Jun did not have the ridicule of the last time, and there seemed to be a bit of appreciation in his tone: "Gong Wang is exempt!" She chuckled, "In order to prevent King Chang, the battle committee of Xiao Guo is really hard!" King Gong is a true hero, this palace admires! ”
"Thank you for the compliment!" Xi Ze said a little modestly, "It is our glory to protect the family and defend the country, Xi Ze doesn't dare to shout tired!" ”
Lan Jun chuckled twice, obviously very satisfied with Xi Ze's answer. But she changed her words, and then said mockingly: "It's just...... I didn't expect your second brother, His Royal Highness King Chang, the noble King of the Great Jin Dynasty, to be a shrunken turtle! ”
"King Chang is not good at fighting!" Xi Ze smiled and said, "This time Xiao Guo is menacing, he is only calm on the surface, but in fact, he is still more afraid in his heart!" Just look at the fact that he pours out every time he is in the army, you can get a glimpse of one or two. ”
"At the beginning, the palace was worried that he was too ambitious, and he secretly joined forces with Xiao Guo in order to eliminate dissidents!" Lan Jun continued to ridicule, "I really didn't expect him to be such a mess in the marching campaign, I really think highly of him!" ”
Referring to the dealings between King Chang and Xiao Guo, Xi Ze's face sank, and he said contemplatively: "Actually, King Chang does have secret dealings with Xiao Guo, but Xiao Guo's appetite is too big, far beyond King Chang's estimate, and King Chang's current strength can't meet their needs, so the two sides have not negotiated, so this matter is stopped!" When it comes to conquest, King Chang is not Xiao Dingnan (the leader of the Xiao army) opponent, after several battles, he was defeated and retreated, seeing that Xiao Guo's army swept Cangzhou, Wuzhou, Jizhou, our army is increasingly short of food and grass, and the supply can not keep up, so King Chang has to seek a way to get out! It's just that I didn't expect him to use the trick of 'playing dead' to save his life! ”
"Hmph...... He couldn't beat Xiao Guo, pretended to be dead and fled back, he was following the old path of Helian Xiyan (King of Qi), and wanted to trap you to death with Xiao Guo's army! But he is more than ten times more vicious than Helian Xiyan! He is afraid of your fighting talent, and he is afraid that Xiao Guo will not be able to trap you, so he will set up such a game before coming back! Lan Jun sneered, "You see that on the day of the night banquet, their mother and son were charged one after another, and they pressed step by step, it was simply seamless, where is there room for others to argue?" It's a pity that they missed the most critical chess piece, and King Chang would never have thought that the person he arranged to save the driver was the chess piece we placed next to him! ”
"Niangniang is wise, I knew that Xu Yuan could be of great use, so this game of chess turned defeat into victory!" Speaking of Xu Yuan, Xi Ze was a little worried, "Speaking of which, Xu Yuan has contributed a lot to this matter, and asked Niang Niang to read his merits and leave him a way to live!" ”
"You can rest assured about this, how could this palace cut off its arm?" Lan Jun said confidently, "For the time being, Xu Yuan will live in the prison for a few days, and when this matter passes, the palace will ensure that he is safe!" ”
With Lan Jun's golden words, Xi Ze immediately showed his face and said again: "Xi Ze thank you Niangniang on behalf of Xu Yuan!" Now that Xu Yuan's confession is available, it will be difficult for King Chang to turn over again! ”
"This is natural!" Lan Jun said happily with three points of hatred, "Jin Guifei's mother and son are against this palace everywhere, and Jin Guifei is staring at the back seat of this palace and trying her best to fight, how can you put this palace in your eyes?" How could Hongu allow her to be presumptuous in the harem again and again?! This time it fell into the hands of this palace, and this palace will definitely make their mother and son have no room to turn over from now on! After a while, Lan Jun put away his pleasure again, and said in a solemn tone, "However, if you want to make King Chang's mother and son fall thoroughly, you still need a dose of fierce medicine!" Since you know that King Chang secretly had an affair with Xiao Guo, do you have any evidence that he was caught collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? ”
"This ......" Xi Ze hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "He did a hidden job, the evidence was destroyed, and we didn't get anything in this regard!" ”
Although Xi Ze's answer was not optimistic, Lan Jun still did not give up, and continued to ask: "Xu Yuan has been lurking beside King Chang, does he have evidence that King Chang collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?" ”
Xi Ze shook his head again.
"Then do you know who Xiao Guo sent to secretly collude with King Chang?"
Xi Ze still shook his head: "King Chang's secret collusion with Xiao Guo was inadvertently known to Xu Yuan, and he didn't know anything else, if he wanted to expose King Chang's collaboration with the enemy and betrayed the country, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!" ”
Lan Jun was silent when he heard this.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and after a long while, Lan Jun, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up again: "Even if there is no evidence, we have to make up a seamless evidence, and it is not easy to send King Chang to prison, we can't let him go in vain!" In the previous case of King Zhao, the Criminal Department was still hanging, no matter what, King Zhao was also a prince, and this matter had to be explained anyway. This time, it was planted on King Chang, anyway, he used King Zhao three or four times to seize the heir, and it was not unjust for him to come out and take the blame! ”
King Lachang came to take the blame for King Zhao's case?!
The clouds in the cubicle were already terrified when they heard this. Could it really be as King Yu said, King Zhao was really killed by Xi Ze? And Lan Jun also knows about this matter? How many secret secrets are there behind this? She tried her best to soothe her frantically beating heart, closed her eyes, leaned her back against the wall, calmed her excited breathing, and continued to listen.
"One qiē but listen to the arrangement of the mother!"
He agreed to Lan Jun's idea so quickly, and he almost didn't even think about it, he...... Then the next thing he is going to do is to arrange the framing of King Chang.
The right to kill is really ruthless, however, if Xi Ze and Lan Jun don't make a move, they will be defeated at the hands of Jin Guifei and King Chang's mother and son, just like this time, if it wasn't for Xi Ze and Lan Jun's arrangement, maybe it would be Xi Ze who would never be able to recover now.
This qiē, maybe they don't have a choice.
It wasn't until after Xi Ze left that Lan Jun walked into the cubicle, and Yun Tian still maintained a posture of closing his eyes and leaning his back against the wall.
Lan Jun's voice suddenly came from above his head, with a little helplessness in the cold: "I didn't want you to know this, but I am your mother, I want you to know, if you want to see a person, don't just look at how he treats you, you also have to see how he treats others, so that the answer you get is the most pertinent!" ”
Hearing this, Yun Ran opened his eyes and looked at Lan Jun in a daze.
Lan Jun continued: "I tried to stop the thoughts in your heart, but I am also from here, and I know that I can't stop you!" But I must remind you that emotions can bring you unprecedented happiness, but they can also be your greatest weakness, and they can put you to death at any time! In fact, from the moment you and I stepped into the gate of this Jin Palace, I should no longer have the luxury of expecting to protect you as well as I did in Yan Kingdom. You're going to leave me and be on your own! So, I must make you understand that the struggle for power is a fate that you and I who live in this prosperous cage cannot escape! This is a game without warmth! So, Yuntian, you have to remember that there are no absolute good people who come out of the mud here, and there are no bad people who are heinous and useless, here, there are just fights to live better! If you fight, others will fight, if you don't fight, others will still fight! In order to fight, they will be jealous, and they will do whatever it takes to remove every stumbling block in front of them, and finally force you to fight! Everyone you see wears a changeable mask, and one moment he may pull you along, but the next moment he may push you into the abyss from which you will never recover, making you a stepping stone to the pinnacle of power! Here, there are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends, so only by taking precautions can you get out in time when the crisis comes, I am your mother, I hope you can see the road in front of you clearly, and make the most beneficial choice for yourself! ”
