Chapter 978: Confrontation

As soon as these words came out, there was silence below. Qunchen, look at me, I look at you, I don't understand why the queen, who has always been good friends with Lu Chang'an, suddenly became difficult.

Lu Changan lowered his eyes, and his body was a little cold.

"King Suping, do you dare to guarantee that the 30,000 troops of Xiyue are in the territory of my Darong, and they have no other intentions?" Liu Yunxiang asked again.

Lu Changan turned his head to look at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes sank, "Xiyue and my Darong are allies, and this time I helped the imperial court to clear the north of Zhenbei, and I didn't want to." ”

"Yo, then the Xiyue people are weird."

What Lu Changan wanted to say, Liu Yunxiang interrupted him, "It means that King Suping can guarantee it, right?" ”

Lu Changan looked at the courtiers below, obviously Liu Yunxiang's words had reached their hearts, and they were also waiting for this answer. These courtiers can follow him and share the riches, but they do not want to be destroyed.

"This king can naturally guarantee it." He said.

"The ministers have heard King Suping's assurance, but if there is any change in Xiyue, this palace will be in charge of the government on behalf of the emperor, and he will definitely punish King Suping severely, and he will not have a personal relationship with him at that time." Liu Yunxiang said coldly.

Hearing this, Lu Changan couldn't help but glance at Liu Yunxiang again.

At this time, Xue Hesong stepped forward and mentioned that Xiao Meng's wife and son escaped from Shengjing overnight, but they were afraid that Xiao Meng would surrender to Yan Dusk.

Lu Changan took a deep breath and said: "This is the critical moment of the war between the imperial court and Zhenbei, and there is no room for any mistakes, and an order was immediately issued to deprive Xiao Meng of military power and escort him back to Beijing." ”

Hearing Lu Changan's words, the ministers below nodded one after another, but Liu Yunxiang laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Changan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Liu Yunxiang said while laughing: "A sentence of 'suspicion' convicted the important ministers of the court, it turns out that King Suping handled the government like this, isn't it a child's play." ”

"Xiao Meng has a deep friendship with the King of Zhenbei, and at this time, Mrs. Xiao Meng and her son escaped from Shengjing, such suspicions are very reasonable, right?" Lu Changan squinted.

"Is there a possibility that Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Gongzi were imprisoned for no reason, so they escaped?"

"This king also wants Xiao Meng to stand firmly on the side of the court."

"The result backfired?"

“……”

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, "If you want the ministers to finally go to the court, they should use sincerity, not these subordinate methods." King Suping, there are too many calculations, you have probably forgotten how to treat people sincerely. ”

"Mother."

Liu Yunxiang raised his hand to stop Lu Changan from going down and said, "This palace feels that it can't make this will, but it's actually too late, so why bother to give people a handle, right?" ”

Lu Changan's face was gloomy, as the queen said, it was indeed too late to make this will. And the reason why he wants to go down is to beat Xiao Meng into a thief, so that he can be eliminated.

There was silence in the upper study for a while, Lu Changan had a cold face, and the ministers below lowered their heads, and they all stopped talking.

Liu Yunxiang coughed lightly, "It seems that everyone has nothing to do, so let's mention one thing in this palace." ”

She said this, but no one answered.

Liu Yunxiang continued: "The case of Wu Min, a cabinet scholar, how is it being investigated now? ”

Hearing this, the ministers all looked embarrassed, and did not understand why the queen suddenly mentioned him.

asked how the case was investigated, which was equivalent to naming Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, so the two ministers stepped forward and said that the case had been investigated, and Wu Min had also pleaded guilty, and he would be sentenced soon.

"Is there any doubt about this case?"

Dali Siqing said: "There is no doubt. ”

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "But this palace feels that this case is quite strange. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Scholar Wu was drunk and forcibly humiliated the maidservant, so he killed her." Speaking of this, Liu Yunxiang looked at the ministers below, "You are colleagues with Scholar Wu, how much do you know him as a person, first, he is not addicted to alcohol, secondly, he has a deep relationship with Mrs. Wu, and there is no concubine room and no room at home, how can he insult a maidservant?" ”

At this time, Hanlin from a cabinet stood up, "What Niangniang said is extremely true, and this official also feels that the case of Scholar Wu is still suspicious. ”

"Oh? You said. ”

Na Hanlin hesitated and glanced at Lu Changan first, then lowered his head and struggled for a while, before he said: "That day, Xiaguan and Scholar Wu came out of the official office together, because in the past, Scholar Wu always left very late, but it was very early that day, and Xiaguan made a joke and asked him if he was scolded by his wife at home, and if he didn't go home earlier, there would be no dinner for him at home in the future." Scholar Wu smiled bitterly and said that it really made Mrs. angry, it was ...... It turned out that Lord Xue sent a beautiful maid to his house, and Mrs. Wu thought that Lord Wu was messing around outside, so she accepted it in anger. Lord Wu went home earlier to deal with this matter, and he planned to send the beautiful maid back to the Yangguo Mansion. ”

Speaking of this, Na Hanlin glanced at Xue Hesong again, "If you want to send it back, how can you get drunk and humiliate, it doesn't make sense at all." ”

Xue Hesong sneered after hearing this, "If you can't protect it, Scholar Wu has long been greedy for that beautiful maid, and he has to send it back for fear of being inside, but he is unwilling, so he insulted that beautiful maid under the pretext of drunkenness." ”

"That's what I said." Liu Yunxiang sneered, "Didn't you send Lord Wu this maidservant girl so that she could serve Lord Wu?" ”

"This ......"

"I was originally going to serve Lord Wu, so why do you want to insult me?"

Xue Hesong was caught talking and couldn't refute it for a while.

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and sneered, "Since there are still so many doubts in this case, let's remand it back to the Criminal Department for retrial." ”

When she said this, no one answered below, obviously waiting for Lu Changan to nod.

And Lu Changan lowered his eyes and didn't say a word since just now.

"This palace is supervising the government on behalf of the emperor, I think the emperor has been sick for too long, and the big guy has forgotten who the loyal minister is, right?"

As soon as she said this, the ministers below bowed their heads and bent down.

"What do you say, King Suping?"

Lu Changan slowly raised his head to look at Liu Yunxiang, and then smiled, "We courtiers are naturally loyal to the emperor. ”

"The emperor has given this palace such a right, and the ministers have no objections, right?"

The people below still didn't speak.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Then there is no objection." ”

After speaking, she stood up, "In this case, let's retry Wu Ming's case, the Criminal Department is responsible, we must find out the truth, and we can give an explanation to the deceased." ”

The court dispersed, and Liu Yunxiang walked to the harem.

She ordered a retrial of Wu Min's case, but she also knew that those people below would not listen to her, so her purpose was actually to delay the case and save Wu Min's life.

Also, she has to find a way to go to the heavenly prison to see Wu Min, and be sure to get the edict of succession.

While she was planning, someone behind her called her.

"Yunxiang, it turns out that you are in the palace."

This one is...... Lu Chang'an!

He knew it was her!
