Chapter 10: Characters from the Puran Kingdom
Li Su was on the other side, and couldn't help but admire her performance.
For the sake of safety, he deliberately said that he was in a coma, he didn't know anything about it, and if he talked too much, the mistake would be much smaller, and he was a liar.
Pan Feng turned his head to Li Su and said, "King An, what else do you have to say?" ”
Yun Ruoyan said: "I went to that rouge building this morning to listen to the song, all the way in the private room, and then she ran to my room and poured a cup for me, and then she got drunk." ”
Li Su told the ins and outs of the matter, and did not say how he knew that she had done something inside.
Appearance.
Pan Feng inquired about the situation, and both of them looked unconscious, and neither of them would admit anyone's identity.
So he called the old woman who came and the bartender.
As a result, no one found that Li Su had left that room, and no one had found that Li Su had entered that room.
But according to the investigation, there were footprints, and Li Xiuer should have come in through a window in the back.
Moreover, being able to send a person to the Accord on the second floor without anyone noticing, this is definitely a fierce figure.
Pan Feng witnessed the scene of Li Su chasing the phantom target in the ring, and although there was not a single clue that Li Su drugged and brought the phantom target into the room, no matter which angle you looked at, Li Su was suspicious enough, and he was capable enough to do so.
Although Pan Feng had this awareness, he had no intention of speaking, because as soon as he opened his mouth, even if it was not Li Su's doing, he was the most suspicious.
This matter is related to the face of the royal family and the diplomatic relations between the two countries, if you can clear the relationship between Li Su and make this matter a meaningless matter, then you can comfort Li Guangzhu in secret and calm him down.
However, Pan Feng didn't say it, and some of the people present didn't want Li Su to leave unharmed.
"I heard that King Wen'an was in a hundred battles and was invincible, and he climbed up from the window on the second floor with a woman who was powerless on his back, and it was difficult for him?"
The eldest prince said.
...
Pan Feng was taken aback by his sudden words.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?
The emperor asked him to come, just to save the face of the royal family, what use can he get if he comes like this? “
Pan Feng looked at the eldest prince silently, muttering secretly in his heart.
"Is it because he has a holiday with the prince?"
Everyone was confused.
"Before I came, my father asked me to maintain the dignity of the royal family, what is the dignity of the royal family?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What? “
"A child of the royal family, unwilling to admit what he has done?
Only by investigating this matter and clearing the grievances of the six princes can his reputation maintain the dignity of the royal family.
Noodles? ”
The prince drank the tea calmly and said lightly.
"If King An is really suspected of murder, then there is no need to hide it.
This matter was not done by the sixth brother, and the ministers will also seek justice for King An. ”
His face was straightforward and unafraid.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have done a good job, and any prince, even if he makes a mistake, will be punished like an ordinary person.
This son is really a blessing for my great national fortune. ”
In the crowd outside, I don't know who was the first to shout.
"Lord Wang, you are a smart man, I will definitely let Prince Daqian be righteous and raise your eyebrows for you."
"Yes, Pulanguo."
Li Guangzhu also looked respectful.
Li Su had been watching the battle from the sidelines, and now he could guess that he had done this nine times out of ten.
The prince's words made everyone suspicious of Li Su, but there was no conclusive evidence.
This gave him a headache, so he could only rest for a while and discuss countermeasures with Zhang Lian.
An army of 100 people from the Pulan Kingdom, dressed in luxurious military uniforms, was entering through the south gate of the capital.
Among this group of people, there was a woman with a graceful figure, although she was covered with a light veil, but she still could not hide her beautiful appearance.
She was now sitting on a red horse, surrounded by a group of guards.
"Li Xiang, this is the first time the old man has entered the court, I don't know if it's possible?" Do you think we'll meet with King An? ”
She turned to look at a richly dressed old man beside her.
"Princess, when we passed by Lingnan Prefecture, we heard from the governor over there that King An had been in Beijing for more than three months."
"On the way here, you have inquired more than once, he is now in the capital, and you will see him soon."
The old man was speechless.
This old man is the prime minister of Pulan Kingdom, that is, Li Shangzhang, who has a lot of voice in the imperial court.
And she is the only daughter of Li Jinwei in Pulan Kingdom, and Li Siyu, the princess who is regarded as the pearl of Li Jinwei's palm.
Because she is the only princess of the royal family, the royal family is also extremely fond of Li Siyu.
Her brothers treated her as a baby.
A year ago, a year ago, due to floods, the fields failed, and a group of rebels appeared, causing a civil unrest.
It was Li Siyu who volunteered to find King Da Qian'an, which stabilized the interior of Pulan Kingdom.
Therefore, Li Siyu will be regarded as a goddess by Pu Languo, and Prime Minister Li Shangzhang also cherishes her.
Since more than three years ago, no one from the Pulan Kingdom has ever come to Daqian, just because the earth dragon suppressed them.
This time, Pu Languo specially sent a minister with a princess to Daqian, just to express his gratitude to King An.
"Princess, let's go to Honglu Temple now, and then ask the messenger in Beijing for news."
Li Shangzhang glanced at Li Siyu and asked.
"Okay, by the way, you ask King An's address, I have a congratulatory gift for him."
Where is it? “
Li Siyu looked eager to try and admonished.
"Well, don't worry, when we go and ask Li Guangzhu in Beijing, he will understand."
Li Shangzhang's face sank, and along the way, Li Siyu had been talking about His Royal Highness King An.
Doge's Palace.
"The envoy of the Pulan Kingdom is now in the hall of Jingzhao Mansion."
An old man in a big red robe asked Li Shangzhang.
"What? May I ask why Li Guangzhu appeared in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion? ”
Li Shangzhang inquired.
"You don't know this, according to Li Guangzhu, King An has a bad idea of his daughter, and now he has been sent to Jingzhao Mansion and is investigating with the people from the Criminal Department."
A senior minister said.
"Ahh Not good! ”
As soon as Li Shangzhang heard the news, he knew that something was wrong.
What the hell is going on with this Li Guangzhu?
King An's significance to Pulanguo is not trivial.
If you really want to provoke King An and Pu Languo to turn against each other, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Indecent Lee Kwang-sik's daughter?" His Royal Highness King An? "Hmph, what a joke, his daughter can get into his eyes?"
And Li Siyu, after knowing about this matter, also turned to Li Su without hesitation.
"Hurry up and send it to Jingzhao Mansion! Hopefully it's not too late! ”
Li Shangzhang gave an order to Li Siyu, then hurriedly waved his horsewhip and galloped in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion.
This matter is related to Pulan's future, and as Pulan's prime minister, he is naturally anxious.
Li Siyu hurriedly turned over and dismounted, following behind her.
…… In the hall of Jingzhao Mansion.
And Lee Kwang-sik's daughter was crying bitterly in the hall.
The people around him were all with pity on their faces.
"The daughters of all the envoys can be so humiliated by these nobles, and we, ordinary people, are not at the mercy of others?"
There was a lot of talking.
"Yes, today she is unlucky, and if I sit idly by, tomorrow I will be unlucky
Another said.
For a time, countless angry voices came and went, calling for an explanation for the victims.
Pan Feng was also anxious, he knew that he could no longer suppress the anger of the people, and the majesty of the royal family would be gone.
At this time, not only did King An have no evidence of guilt, but more people were treated as nobles and bullied the small.
As for whether Li Su was framed or not, they didn't care at all, what they wanted was "justice".
Li Su knew that all this was done by the prince, and was about to step forward to expose Li Xiu'er, but at this moment, a person spoke.
"Please enter, this official is the prime minister of Pulan Kingdom, Li Shangzhang!"
When Li Shangzhang and Li Siyu heard this, they hurriedly pushed the door and entered.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Guangzhu recognized the two men at a glance.
Li Shangzhang is regarded as a distant uncle of his, and he was taught by him when he was in Pulan.
Seeing his prime minister and a princess, Li Guangzhu was even happier in his heart.
"Presumably the prince and princess knew about it, so they came to help me."
Lee Kwang-ju muttered to himself with some excitement.
"It's broken!" Someone exclaimed.
Pan Feng muttered to himself in his heart, but he didn't know that he had provoked all the prime ministers of Pulan Kingdom, making things even more difficult to manage.
"Hmph, I'd like to see if you can get away with it."
Li Yan, like Li Guangzhu, felt that the lord of the Pulan Kingdom would definitely protect his subjects.
I saw Li Shangzhang and Li Siyu break in in a hurry and go straight to Li Guangzhu.
Li Guangzhu hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two.
"Prime minister, princess, you can count it, I haven't been able to go back after staying in Qianguo for three years, and now, my daughter has been bullied by my princes, I am so wronged!"
Li Guangzhu was ready to wait for the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the Princess to comfort him, and he could show his attitude to His Majesty the Emperor and show his loyalty to the Pulan Kingdom to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Smack!" There was a crunch sound.
A resounding slap echoed through the hall.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“...”
One of Li Guangzhu's faces was swollen, his five fingerprints were deeply hit on his cheeks, and a trace of blood flowed from his mouth.
This slap was obviously Li Shangzhang's strength to breastfeed.
Li Guangzhu looked at Li Shangzhang in front of him in a daze, and couldn't figure out what this slap was about.
If it is a normal script, then, it should not be His Majesty the Prime Minister who took his hand and picked himself up from the ground and said sorry, sorry, sorry.
Why was he beaten instead?
When the prince and Pan Feng saw this scene, they were all stunned, and the prince realized that the situation was a little out of control.
Only Li Su understood why the old man was doing this, but he didn't speak, but stood there quietly, quietly waiting.
Li Shangzhang's stance will affect his stance in Pulan Kingdom in the future, and all he has to do is wait and see how things develop.
"Xiangye, why did you do it?" Li Guangzhu was a little at a loss, and he couldn't even reveal a trace of resentment in his eyes.
Li Shangzhang seemed to be kind, but the ministers of Pulan Kingdom knew very well how ruthless this old man's methods were.
The current king of Pulan, it was precisely because Li Shangzhang cut off the heads of all the noble families who opposed him that he ascended to the throne, and he cut off countless heads along the way, bright red blood.
Therefore, Li Shangzhang is second only to His Majesty the Emperor in the entire Pulan Kingdom.
Even His Majesty the Emperor has to respectfully call Shizun, why does he hate each other so much?
Lee Kwang-shou's mind was in turmoil, he just wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this matter as soon as possible.
In case there is a misunderstanding, it is better to clarify it as soon as possible.
"Why? Offended King An, do you want to kill our Pulan Kingdom? ”
Lee Shangzhang lifted his leg violently and kicked Lee Kwang-sik's heart, and Lee Kwang-ju lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Xiangye, is there a mistake in this? King An was nothing more than a weak prince who was banished to Lingnan. Li Guangzhu said anxiously.
"King An, it's me who is incompetent, let me solve this matter, Li promised you that he would definitely make decisions for you."
Li Shangzhang ignored Li Guangzhu, but turned around and saluted Li Su.
At this time, Li Siyu also came to Li Su's side, grabbed Li Su's arm, and shook him gently: "His Royal Highness King An is angry, this matter will be resolved by Li Xianghui." ”
Pan Feng, Zhang Lian and the others were all taken aback by Pu Lan Guoguo's reaction to Li Su, when did the lord of a dignified country be so polite to Daqian?
No, not only respect, they could also see a hint of flattery in Li Shangzhang's expression.
They are all ministers in the court, and naturally know that Pulan State is a vassal of the Daqian Dynasty and is dominated by the Daqian Dynasty.
However, this relationship is only in name, and there is basically no exchange between the two countries, except for the annual contributions.
Over the years, the Pulan Empire had never sent a minister to the Daqian Dynasty, and Li Shangzhang, as a minister of a country, did not need to be so polite to the princes of the Daqian Dynasty.
When they saw the princess of Pulan holding King An's arm, like a weak woman, they always felt that there was something they didn't understand.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Li Su smiled slightly and whispered to Li Siyu.
Ye Zichen smiled faintly.
Li Shangzhang saw that Li Su's face was as usual and there was no anger, so he immediately put his mind at ease.
Otherwise, King An was angry and pointed the finger at Pu Languo, which would be troublesome.
Li Shangzhang saw Li Su and Her Royal Highness the princess together, he turned his head to look at Li Guangzhu, and said angrily: "You idiot, what do you mean by this?" Tell me! ”
Li Guangzhu was glared at by Li Shangzhang, and was immediately shocked by his momentum, his feet trembled, and he knelt directly on the ground.
"It's... It was King An who charmed my daughter and wanted to rape my daughter. Li Guangzhu said in a trembling voice.
"You still dare to deceive me, are you going to behead all over the house!" When Li Shangzhang heard Li Guangzhu's lie, he was furious.
"You little girl, how can you get into the eyes of King An, if King An wants it, do you still need to steal?" Li Shangzhang kicked on the top of Li Guangzhu's head, and immediately kicked his long hair messy.
"Yes, what do you think of Ling Qianjin's comparison to me? How could An Wang like himself? She's not qualified enough! Li Siyu stood beside Li Su and interrupted him.
Li Su was a little speechless when he heard this, these Fanbang women were really bold enough to say such a thing.
He didn't say it explicitly, but the implication was that if Li Suru really wanted a woman, he could also find Li Siyu, instead of Li Guangzhu's daughter.
This sentence made everyone's mouth open wide.
Li Shangzhang saw that Li Guangzhu was obsessed and still resisting, so he scolded Li Guangzhu.
"Tell me, I can spare your life, if you don't tell me, your whole family will die!"
After speaking, he turned around, saluted Li Su, and said, "Lord Wang, give me a thin face, let me be the master, let him confess obediently, and spare him all over the house." ”
Li Su waved his hand disapprovingly, and said lightly: "Whatever you want." “
Li Guangzhu saw that he couldn't save himself if he didn't say anything, so he simply gave up resistance.
"I can tell you, but I wonder if you can let me know why you value King An so much, and who have I provoked?"
Li Shangzhang waved his sleeves, hugged his fists at Li Su, then turned around and said to Li Guangzhu:
"More than a year ago, our country was hit by a big flood, I don't know how many farmlands and villages were submerged, that big flood. There are refugees everywhere. ”
"Han Qiu, a rebel and thief, instigated a rebellion among refugees, and surrounded our capital in Pulan."
"When he was about to lose, King An led a guard of King An to turn the tide and defeat the rebellion in one fell swoop."
"Not only that, His Majesty King An also gave me Pu Lan 50,000 taels of silver to settle those who fled."
"In addition, His Majesty King An has established a border market with us in China, and has supplied us with a lot of high-quality steel, as well as farming tools and other daily necessities...
"What was the Pulan Kingdom like before, you didn't know it, the people were not happy, but now with the credit of King Tuo'an, the Pulan Kingdom has long been reborn.
"There are many people in the Pulan Kingdom, all of whom are slaves of King An's Lingnan Mansion, and King An has never owed them, even if they are outsiders."
"Even Pu Languo, your family has also received a lot of benefits from Your Majesty! If it weren't for King An, there would be no Pulan today. ”
Li Shangzhang sighed with emotion.
As the king of a country, he is naturally full of patriotism, but now that the people are barren and the country is weak, he is also helpless.
But with the arrival of King An, the country of Pulan has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Although it is not yet comparable to Lingnan Mansion, Li Shangzhang firmly believes that if he follows King An, the Pulan Kingdom will rise sooner or later.
Li Shangzhang has already had murderous intent towards Li Guangzhu, because he has ruined the relationship between Pu Languo and King An.
