Chapter 180
Li Li was really thirsty, opened the lid of the cup, drank it all in a few sips, looked at Baili Jing and said: "Princess Jing, I passed by the study this morning, and overheard my father and people saying that there was a mess in the northwest frontier, General He was captured, and ...... Descended the Turks ......"
The tea cup in Bai Lijing's hand fell on the stone table with a "clang", turned over, and the tea splashed wet the table. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mo Wen hurriedly got up and walked to her side, while cleaning up the tea cup, while caressing Bai Lijing's back to try to calm her down, his face was not so shocked.
Li Li couldn't care so much, and continued: "Princess Jing, I think that even if General He is captured, he will never be able to defect to the Turks, but my father said that surrendering to the enemy is treason...... I don't know what to do, my dad...... He will never intercede for General He, so I can only run to tell you! Princess Jing, you are Your Majesty's favorite princess, and the daughter of the Queen, in front of the saint, your words can be worth a hundred sentences of others, please take advantage of the situation is not serious, hurry up and think of a way! β
Mo Wen naturally guessed from Li Li's anxious tone and almost crying look that this girl was in love with Situ He. The Situ family and the Li family are rivals, but there is an unclear relationship, one Li Shu is not enough, and another yellow-haired girl.
Treason is the most serious crime of the "Ten Evils", even if Li Li runs too fast. At this time, the news must have spread throughout the government and the opposition, regardless of whether Situ He really surrendered to the Turks or not, the Situ family has become the number one suspect, and it has been covered with a layer of shame that cannot be washed away.
Mo Wen's hand was placed on his wife's back, waiting for her to have a seizure, but after that moment of panic, she stood up, looked at Li Li with an unusually calm gaze and said, "Thank you for telling me this." Our company's affairs will be solved by ourselves, don't worry. Go back. β
Li Li is not familiar with Bai Lijing, and when she has never seen her crazy hysteria, she has always felt that Bai Li Jing is omnipotent, so when she heard Bai Li Jing say this, she was immediately relieved, and when she left, she turned around and added: "Princess Jing, even if no one believes in General He, please believe him......"
She ran crimson, and the bell on the longevity lock went farther and farther.
"Princess, the sedan chair in the palace has arrived."
As soon as Li Li left, someone came to report.
Bai Lijing turned back to Mo and asked, "I'm going to the palace, you can rest at home." β
Her eyes were so calm that Mo Wen was inexplicably panicked, as if he was about to catch her, he hurriedly held her hand and wrote, "I'll go with you." β
"No need." She smiled, "The lockdown has been lifted, I have learned a lot of lessons, and I won't do it again." Rest assured. β
Her refusal was resolute.
Mo Wen couldn't insist on it, so he had to let go.
Sending his wife all the way to the luxurious sedan chair, Mo Wen stood in place and watched the palace people carry her away, and sighed long, Situ He was captured, even if he wanted to save it, he was powerless, what could his wife do?
As expected, the court was in an uproar about Situ He's capture and surrender to the enemy.
Although Generalissimo Situ insisted that the Situ family would never do anything disloyal to Daxing, and guaranteed that Situ He would not defect to the enemy with his head, and the court officials who were friendly with the Situ family also exonerated Situ He, however, the border pass was far away, and these empty words were not convincing.
On the other hand, the forces headed by Uncle Li Guozhi righteously stated the disadvantages of this matter, and Situ He's surrender to the enemy disturbed the morale of the army, the government and the opposition, and the Daxing Society, and should be severely punished.
There was a lot of noise in the court.
Emperor Jing Yuan stroked his forehead and remained silent for a long time.
Li Shu was in a hurry among the courtiers, and finally mustered up the courage to kneel down and said, "Your Majesty! General He has been in the army since he joined the army, and he has made outstanding achievements in war for several years, and he has annihilated countless enemies for Daxing, and the Situ family is a dignitary of the dynasty, and he will surrender to the Turkic barbarians unless his brain is caught by the door! β
As soon as this rude and unbearable market remark came out, the court immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Shu. Uncle Li Guo was so angry that he couldn't wait to step forward and beat him to death, his protΓ©gΓ©s didn't have this kind of thing to eat inside and out, let alone his own son!
Li Shu has always been low-key and uncomfortable in the court, when has he attracted the attention of these people, but he still stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, even if General He really surrendered the Turks, it must be a last resort, thinking about how ferocious the Turkic barbarians are, it is okay to delay the army, anyway, the military book says that the soldiers are treacherous, and the soldiers are not tired of deceit!" Your Majesty, please be wise! β
As soon as Li Shu's words were finished, he immediately attracted a rebuttal: "Your Majesty, not everyone has unyielding integrity, after all, General Situ is young and reckless and impulsive, who can guarantee that he did not leak my Daxing military aircraft in front of the Turkic barbarians?" What's more, the Situ family has been in the northwest for many years, and controls the power of the southern states and the Jingwei army, in other words, the entire military power of Daxing is controlled by the Situ family, how can this kind of power that covers the sky with one hand not be intimidating, if the Situ family has the intention of rebellion, who can stop it? β
"Nonsense!" Generalissimo Situ glared at the man and shouted.
Uncle Li's protΓ©gΓ©s obviously came prepared, and led the Situ family into the trap step by step, the more Annoyed and angry the Generalissimo Situ became, the more he took advantage of their intentions, and the other person came out and said: "What Lord Liu said may be a bit excessive, but the minister thinks that if the Situ family has no intention of rebellion, he can prove it to His Majesty." In addition to the 100,000 feudal troops in Jizhou, the three northwestern states have 300,000 permanent troops, plus 300,000 soldiers stationed in wartime, a total of 600,000 soldiers, all obey the command of General Situ alone, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. I beg Your Majesty to control the military power of General Situ in the northern Xinjiang and divide the power among the states to command the envoys, so as to ensure that our Daxing is foolproof in the war with the Turks! β
The grievances over the years finally took this opportunity to shake out, this is Emperor Jingyuan's heart disease, and it is also the most important thing that the Li family has wanted to solve for a long time.
"The old minister thinks that this matter is not proper, and if the war is halfway through, if the commander is changed rashly, how do the soldiers feel? The border troubles are serious, the national disaster is the head, everything should be the first to expel the Turks! Yang Hong, the secretary of the ministry, opened his mouth and said that he was not a close friend of the Situ family, let alone the Li family, so his words upheld the heart of justice.
Emperor Jing Yuan never spoke, did not evaluate who was right and who was wrong, after listening to Yang Hong's words, he finally found a step down, frowned and said: "This matter can be discussed later, I have to think about it." Let's retreat. β
Don't convict the Situ family, and don't let the Li family succeed, hang all the courtiers up, let them think about his final result, and have trouble sleeping.
The courtiers had no choice but to kneel down and give thanks and watch the saint leave.
Emperor Jingyuan returned to the imperial study, Gao Xian waited carefully, and after a while, he finally heard Emperor Jingyuan say loudly: "Gao Xian, I heard that Du Haoyu, the chief soldier of Youzhou, has a good relationship with you?" β
Gao Xian stepped forward, bowed his head and smiled: "Your Majesty Shengming, Mr. Du married the goddaughter of the old slave, and he is also half the son of the old slave, which made the saint smile." β
Emperor Jing Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "You have been with me for all these years, and the faces of those people are also very clear, you say, how is Chang Mingze, the chief soldier of Qingzhou?" β
"The old slave thinks that Chang Zongbing is a little impetuous, Qingzhou is northeast, and there is a strong Great Wall in the north, and the war has not been affected in these years, but it is not as frequent as Jizhou and Youzhou, and I don't know if Chang Zongbing will be unfamiliar in the war." Gao Xian spoke slowly, his voice was not impatient, and there was no meaning of disparagement.
After he finished speaking, Emperor Jing Yuan sighed: "Chang Mingze, Uncle Li Guo has ...... many times in front of me."
Gao Xian lowered his head and did not comment.
"Grind." Emperor Jingyuan said.
"Yes." Gao Xian hurriedly stepped forward, the holy decree had been rolled out, and Emperor Jing Yuan waved his pen to draw up the decree himself, obviously having a plan.
This time, the trouble was so big, it was impossible for the Situ family to end up with one arm continuously. Empress Situ and Generalissimo Situ also understood this when they met.
"Niangniang, don't worry about this anymore, you have come to this point, you can only give up some things." Situ Zhengye's face was gloomy.
Empress Situ frowned, and her emotions were intense: "No! Rui'er died tragically on the battlefield back then, and He'er must not follow in Rui'er's footsteps! Big brother, the Situ family can't be left behind! β
Situ Zhengye said: "Prosperity and decline, which family is like this. For now, if you don't want the whole family to be harmed by traitors, you can only cut off relations with Herr before His Majesty decrees. In this way, no matter whether He'er is alive or dead or treason or not, it has nothing to do with our Tu family, and if necessary, he can also kill his relatives in righteousness. β
He said it so lightly that Queen Situ almost fainted when she heard it, glared at her brother angrily and said, "What a righteous murderer!" He'er grew up watching you and your second brother, he has the bones of the Situ family, and even if he dies, he won't fall to the Turks! The Turkic barbarian may also want to use his identity to blackmail and extort a lot of money, and if you announce the righteousness of killing your relatives, he will definitely die! Those bastards in the court are all happy to see it, but our Situ family must not abandon He'er! β
"I don't want to do that, but the will is unpredictable, how can you influence it?" Situ Zhengye looked at her helplessly, and sighed: "If there is no news tonight, I will personally promise to sever relations with Situ He in front of Your Majesty, and I will not embarrass you." β
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left Weiyang Palace.
Everyone knows that Situ Shan has a strong temperament, no one in the palace dares to offend her, and she never takes the initiative to show favor in front of Emperor Jing Yuan, only when Emperor Jing Yuan comes to slap her. She wouldn't beg him, what she wanted to do, so she drafted her own decree and asked someone to send it to Emperor Jingyuan, and if he agreed, he would stamp the emperor's seal.
In the past eighteen years, she has drafted dozens of wills, and Emperor Jing Yuan has not rejected one, including marrying his daughter to the sick Yang Zimo of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion......
However, those are all trivial matters, which do not involve the foundation of the Situ family, and they must no longer be decided by her. She could only beg him personally.
Situ Shan never thought that one day, he would fall to such a point, what would Bai Liyao think?
It didn't matter what she wanted, she had to go to Bai Liyao.
Even the sedan chair was saved, Situ Shan hurried to the Zichen Palace, and none of the palace maids and eunuchs behind her could keep up with her. However, as soon as she left Weiyang Palace, she saw Concubine Li dressed up and waiting there, as if she was waiting for her.
Situ Shan had always disdained to talk to Li Ji, a slut, but Feng Mu directly ignored her and did not stop.
Concubine Li was prepared, and she didn't care what she thought, and said with a smile: "What, Sister Queen is also in a hurry?" Aren't you going to find the emperor? As far as my sister knows, my sister has never been above the top, and she refuses to accept half a sentence, I want to see what it is like for my sister to ask for someone, and I think the emperor also wants to know, so I waited early! β
One sentence made Situ Shan stop, she turned around, her phoenix eyes looked at Concubine Li sharply, and sneered: "Li Ji, you should know that what I want him to do, he will do." If I want you dead, just blink an eye, and he'll have your head cut off in an instant! Over the years, I have endured you, do you really think you have something to rely on? β
She said so confidently, thinking of all the things over the years, Concubine Li's eyes hurt. However, she immediately laughed: "Sister, what you said may be true, but you just don't want to blink your eyes, this is the biggest failure in his life." And ......"
Concubine Li paused, her eyebrows were shining, and she looked Situ Shan up and down and said: "I also want to advise my sister, men have to coax and serve well, a woman like you, old and decrepit, and hard temper, he just wants to be fresh for a while, because he will never forget it if he can't get it." You guess, if you were genuinely subdued by him, for example, go and beg him in a low voice now, and see how he would react...... Hehe, it's so easy to kill me, I can't tie the chicken, my sister can be crushed to death with one finger, but I bet with my life with you, I won't blink your eyes when I see you......"
