There was a lot of excitement over there, and Princess Ali quietly pursed her lips and said, "Look, this prince is so proud.
Now I'm afraid everyone knows that she is both civilized and military, and is a first-class daughter of a famous family."
Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said: "Everyone has his own fate, so why should Princess Ali worry about it?"
Princess Ali was very surprised.
She always felt that Li Weiyang was too indifferent, as if she didn't care about anything.
Then she lowered her eyes and saw the dining table in front of her.
There is a circle of light cyan porcelain plates on the table, with delicacies lined up in a row.
Although the porcelain is porcelain, it is equipped with a gold bowl cover inlaid with agate gemstones, a row of red gold plates, and jade-inlaid chopsticks to match.
It looked extremely luxurious, and Princess Ali had never seen such a scene before.
Seeing Princess Ali's admiring look, Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Your Majesty this time is no longer extravagant.
I heard that during the late emperor's time, every banquet would have fireworks for three days and three nights, and they would also have to hold a banquet in the palace square.
There was a running table in front of me, and every time I left the table, candle oil flowed all over the floor.”
Princess Ali frowned slightly: "What's the benefit of such luxury?
It's just a waste of people's fat and money."
Li Weiyang did not expect Princess Ali to say such a thing.
She looked at the other party with an expression of approval: "If the future emperor can think like you, the people of the world will be blessed."
Ali glanced in the direction of the prince: "Unfortunately, I see that the current prince's level of luxury is even worse than that of His Majesty today.
If one day he becomes the emperor, I don't know how far he will take this ostentation."
After hearing this, Li Weiyang's smile deepened, and she said softly: "There are no absolutes in everything.
You can see him building a tall building, but you can't see when the tall building will collapse.
Who knows what we will encounter in the future?"
Princess Ali couldn't help but said thoughtfully: "Jia'er, I have never been able to understand your thoughts.
You seem to be supporting King Jing, but you have always been indifferent to him from the beginning to the end.
Do you really want to watch Even though I don't understand government affairs when the prince ascends the throne, I know that this is not a good thing for the Guo family."
Li Weiyang smiled softly and said with a gentle expression: "Princess Ali, whether it is the Crown Prince or Prince Jing, there is no distinction between good and evil in their fight for the throne.
It makes no difference to me who becomes the emperor.
Although Prince Jing and the Guo family have some differences, Blood relatives , But neither my parents nor I proposed to stand on King Jing’s side.
If they want to fight, fight, or rob, let them go, we can just watch quietly from the sidelines.
Here, half of it is not finished.
The fight between the Crown Prince and King Jing is probably just on the surface.
There are still countless people behind the scenes who are coveting the dragon chair.
The emperor is only thinking about Yuan Lie's succession, and I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
At this time, the palace maids filed in, holding gold trays in their hands, carrying almond bergamot, crispy apples, emerald chicken shreds, crystal elbow flowers, eight-treasure wild duck, bergamot golden rolls, and fried cuttlefish shreds, all carefully cooked delicacies.
A full table was set.
During the banquet, a beautiful dancer came to perform.
The birds sang and the swallows danced.
It was very lively, and it was a scene of peace and prosperity.
At this moment, a eunuch in blue came to the palace and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Dali envoy is here to see you."
Everyone was silent at the same time.
The emperor's eyes turned cold and he said slowly: "Let him come to the palace."
For a moment, the dancers gently retreated, and the musicians stopped playing.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the entrance of the hall.
After a while, they saw an official in red robe walking up quickly.
Li Weiyang recognized this person at a glance as Xie Kang, a very trusted staff member around Tuobayu.
It's just that Xie Kang was just a poor scholar in the seventh prince's house back then.

Now, he is already the Minister of Rites, and the so-called emperor and courtier are nothing more than that.
Xie Shangshu walked up to the emperor, bowed and saluted, and said: "Seeing His Majesty the Emperor of Yuexi, I have brought you a gift according to His Majesty's decree to wish His Majesty a happy birthday."
As he spoke, his body trembled unconsciously.
After a moment, he looked a little strange, obviously feeling uneasy and afraid about this mission.
Li Weiyang glanced at Xie Shangshu, frowned slightly, and Princess Ali whispered: "What's going on?"
In an instant, Li Weiyang had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, when the gift box was opened, everyone let out a soft cry.
Inside the red brocade box, there was a wild goose lying quietly, with its wings drooped to cover its head and neck.
It had lost its breath and became a specimen.
It looked very pitiful.
This scene shocked everyone, and immediately some people got angry and stood up and yelled: "How dare you, Emperor Dali, what do you mean?
How dare you give such a gift to offend His Majesty?"
The wild goose symbolizes eternal friendship.
Generally, when countries establish diplomatic relations, wild geese are among the many gifts sent as a symbol.
But now the emperor of Dali sent a dead goose.
This was clearly meant to embarrass the emperor.
No wonder Shangshu Xie looked panicked.
The gift his monarch sent this time was clearly to completely sever diplomatic relations.
He even humiliated the Vietnamese royal family in public.
A sneer appeared on the lips of the Emperor of Western Vietnam immediately, and there was a solemn anger in his eyes.
Finally, the corners of his lips twitched, and the anger was clear: "A young boy who has not yet secured his seat on the throne dares to provoke in public , It’s so courageous” Tuobayu was a generation younger than the Yuexi Emperor in terms of seniority, but he dared to give such a birthday gift today, which made it clear that he did not take the emperor seriously.
Not to mention that the relationship between the two countries has already dropped to a freezing point these days.
If Tuobayu really gave a generous gift, it would be able to ease.
However, he actually gave a dead goose.
Xie Shangshu's face was covered with sweat, and he also wanted to hold on.
Despite his powerful appearance, he felt a deep sense of fear in his heart.
He could not help but lower his voice by three points and said: "Your Majesty, the gift has been delivered.
Please excuse me and leave."
After saying that, he turned around to leave.
The prince sneered and said angrily: "Don't stop him yet."
Immediately, guards stopped at the entrance of the palace.
Xie Shangshu turned around.
The muscles in his face were obviously trembling, but he still laughed and said: "Vietnam is a huge country.
It should be a powerful country and the two countries are at war."
If you don’t kill the envoy, what will happen?
Besides, I am just sending a gift box on the order of the emperor.
If your majesty blames me, a small official, for this, everyone in the world will laugh at your majesty for not being tolerant.
It really loses the magnanimity of a great monarch. " As soon as he said this, he was clearly telling everyone.
If the Emperor of Yuexi wanted to kill him, it would be a violation of the old practice of the two countries not killing each other when they were in conflict, and it would also make people laugh.
Everyone's faces became ugly.
They did not expect that the first thing the Emperor Dali did before he could sit on the throne was to send people to demonstrate.
Although Yuexi had expelled Dali merchants before, at least there was no war between the two countries.
Right now, it seems that this war is unavoidable.
The prince sneered: "Today is my father's birthday, a day celebrated by the whole world.
You dare to give such a gift.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It is clearly a deliberate provocation.
Under such circumstances, even if I kill you, why can't I indulge you deliberately?
I will make people laugh at me, but no one in the West will do it."
Just as he was about to order someone to take down Shangshu Xie, he suddenly heard the Yuexi Emperor raise his hand and say: "No need, let him go."
Everyone looked at the emperor and were very surprised.
How could a man who killed people like chopping melons and vegetables become so kind?
Li Weiyang shook his head slightly.
The battle between the two countries must be reflected in the military, not in killing a mere envoy.
No matter how arrogant and unreasonable the envoy is, if you kill him, you will Having lost the prestige of a great country, this in itself is extremely disadvantageous.
Xie Shangshu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead before quietly retreating.
The prince frowned, showing some displeasure.
But Empress Pei smiled slightly, lowered her head, gently raised a wine glass and took a sip, with a leisurely expression.
The emperor watched the Dali envoy leave and said loudly: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have been committed to carrying forward the great virtues of my great ancestor, comforting my father and late emperor, and claiming to be a wise king.
Although the fortunes have been good over the years.
Unfortunately, I encounter natural and man-made disasters every year, but I still try my best to be a good king.
Unfortunately, my neighbors are uneasy.
I'm ready to make a move.
I just received a secret report that Dali has deployed troops and built a camp outside the border, and it seems that he has the intention of attacking.
The emperor Dali who just came to the throne actually sent the dead geese to challenge me.
I am discussing with all my ministers whether we should issue an order to send troops to Dali to pre-emptively protect the safety of our country."
Hearing this statement, everyone was dumbfounded.
No one started to comment for a while, and there was a silence.
They never thought that Dali's mission would actually make the emperor intend to start a war, and even raised it on his own initiative.
A faint smile appeared on Pei's face, and he took in everyone's expressions calmly.
The emperor saw that everyone was dumbfounded for a long time.
He couldn't help but suddenly changed the tone of his original speech.
There was a strange kindness in his tone: "If you ministers have any suggestions, you might as well tell them directly in court.
I have something to say first, and those who speak are not guilty.
I will naturally empty myself.
You don’t have to have any scruples to accept advice and follow what’s good.
There’s no harm in speaking out.”
Everyone looked at each other, and the emperor suddenly wanted to raise troops.
Was this a test, or did he have other intentions?
The prince's brows were furrowed.
Although the emperor had let the messenger go just now, it did not mean that he would not be angry.
Especially since the envoy publicly humiliated Yuexi for sending such a dead goose, according to his father's temperament, he must have suppressed his extreme anger.
It must have been true that he was going to fight.
Queen Pei's eyes flicked across the emperor's face, revealing a gentle and beautiful smile, but her eyes were without warmth.
Seeing that no one spoke, the emperor couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "If you don't say anything at this banquet this time, but whisper behind my back, once I find out, I will only be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of War had already stood up.
Empress Pei had glanced at him just now.
The Minister of War immediately understood and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The emperor naturally asked: "What do you have to say?"
The Minister of the Ministry of War was very familiar with the military situation.
He knelt there and shouted loudly: "I think it is not appropriate for our country to use troops in this matter.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
As your Majesty's talent implies, in the past ten years, one-third of the provinces in our country have suffered from natural disasters every year, or Whether it's floods or droughts, the people have to rely on the government's relief to survive.
There are also rebellions in some provinces that need to be put down by the army.
It can be said to be a natural disaster.
The man-made disaster has seriously depleted our country's national strength and also affected the court's military morale and morale.
If we start a war against Dali at this time, it is impossible to win a quick victory based on the current situation of the army.
If the war continues for a long time, a large number of troops will be needed.
If the supply of food, military pay and soldiers is insufficient, it will be detrimental to the war on the one hand and change my mind on the other.
Therefore, I dare not send troops."
The emperor's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, as if he was slightly angry.
The Minister of War's heart skipped a beat, but he had just received the look from the queen that he had to say these words.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhendong General Wang Qiong take the lead to say: "The Minister of War is wrong.
Since Dali has already stationed troops on the border, if we continue to sit back and ignore it, wouldn't it be irresponsible to the people on the border.
Once If they raise troops on a large scale, they may cause chaos If you don't prepare early, countless people will surely suffer.
How can you put the people on the verge of dire straits without considering food, military pay, and soldiers?
If you don't have enough food, military pay, and soldiers, you can find ways to recruit.
If you don't want to think about the people, What's the use of your six books?"
Hearing what he said, Qi Guogong also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Dali has just succeeded to the throne, and now he is eager to divert his domestic conflicts.
The best way is to ask neighboring countries to The collusion between him and Zhou Dynasty had already begun when he was raising troops.
Therefore, this time I must use this dead goose to anger His Majesty.
In my opinion, although it is not advisable to raise troops immediately, we should make preparations in advance instead of waiting for the army to invade the territory before preparing food and fodder.
That is the real general.
The people were pushed into water and fire.”
Li Weiyang glanced at the two people, but nodded.
The Wang family and the Guo family had unknowingly become one force, and everyone could see that Duke Qi and General Zhendong had the same intention.
But people can't help but wonder.
General Zhendong lost his two beloved sons, and everything is inextricably related to the Guo family.
Why can these two families still get together?
Empress Pei's eyes became cold.
According to her plan, the Guo family and the Pei family would definitely turn against each other, like fire and water.
However, due to the repeated mistakes of the prince and the interference of Li Weiyang and Wang Zijin, the play could not go on smoothly, but instead prompted the two families to merge together.
Regardless, Li Weiyang is the only one who can attract her attention among the two, and she doesn't pay attention to the others.
Even if they are twisted into a rope, what can they do?
The only thing they need to worry about is that the number of armies of the two families has greatly increased.
Having military power is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, her eyes became even colder.
As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of War opened his mouth, the prince immediately understood what Empress Pei meant, and immediately signaled to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry quietly.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with what the Minister of the Ministry of War said, within a few years It is not appropriate to use troops against Dali for the time being What General Zhendong and Qi Guogong said just now is correct.
In order to prevent Dali from raising troops, your Majesty should ask the border officers to be more prepared.
However, Weichen felt that there was no need to prepare for war since Qi Guogong also knew about Dali.
Emperor The emperor has just ascended the throne and is young and vigorous, so he wants to show off his power to our country.
It can be seen that he is strong on the outside and has no confidence.
Now he just sent a dead goose, and there is no real action.
Chen Bing border, The most important purpose is just to make our country wary of him.
If he really doesn't have the strength, why should we ignore him?
Once he expands his army on a large scale, it will disturb the people.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This is really not a blessing to all people, Your Majesty."
The prince stood up.
He glanced at the emperor and then said loudly: "Father, we are traveling more than a thousand miles to the west, and there are countless mountains and trails in the middle.
Once the army sets off, horses, supplies, chariots, etc.
These are all problems, and recruiting soldiers requires a lot of expenditure, and the government's allocation is only a drop in the bucket.
The son thought for a while, if we were to use troops against Dali, the cost of conscription alone would cost tens of millions of taels.
This money has no source.
Is it necessary to plunder the heads of the people?
This is completely incompatible with my father's concept of loving the people as his sons.
It’s contradictory, so Dali did go too far, but now is really not the best time to raise troops.”
After the Minister of War and the Crown Prince finished speaking, other courtiers stood up one after another to comply, causing the emperor's face to become increasingly ugly.
Li Weiyang's eyes looked at the prince, and there was a hint of coldness in her expression.
She knew that Queen Pei's arrangement must have something behind it, and it was not just for the emperor to see the almost one-sided situation in the court.
Sure enough, he saw Zhang Yushi standing up next to him and said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to expel all Dali people from the country."
The emperor frowned and said: "What does Zhang Yushi mean by this?
I have already ordered all the Dali people to be expelled and completely cut off all contact with them."
Zhang Yushi suddenly glanced at Qi Guogong and said loudly: "Yes, according to your majesty's decree, the exchanges between our country and Dali have long been interrupted.
However, as far as Wei Chen knows, there are people from Dali who sneak into our border from time to time and communicate with us.
Merchants exchange goods.
In addition, there are some Dali spies who constantly come in and out of our capital.
It is hard to say that they are not here to spy on our military situation, government affairs, and people's sentiments.
Therefore, Wei Chen believes that the border guards should be strictly ordered to prevent the Dali people from entering the country, and all the yamen in most cities should pay attention to the inspections.
If the Dali people are found, they will be arrested and severely interrogated.
If the civilians are deported, the spies should be punished with death.
And all those who harbored these spies would be charged with treason to show their stance of being incompatible with the Great Calendar."
Hearing what Zhang Yushi said, Qi Guogong frowned slightly.
He just felt that the other party was starting to stumble.
The emperor said coldly: "That's right.
I have already warned you to expel all Dali people from the country.
Anyone who dares to take them in will be punished for harboring."
Hearing what he said, Zhang Yushi immediately said: "Your Majesty, I obey your Majesty's will and have something important to report."
The emperor frowned slightly and said: "I have just approved your request, what else can you do?"
At this time, his cold eyes stayed on Zhang Yushi's face for a moment.
He vaguely sensed that Empress Pei was going to attack someone, but that was fine, he was happy to watch the excitement.
Zhang Yushi said coldly: "Weichen got the news.
It turns out that Weichen's wife's uncle was killed in the bedroom by his concubine in collusion with an adulterer five days ago.
The adulterer and the adulterer both rolled up the gold and silver and fled.
Weichen went to Jingzhao Yin reported the case and immediately issued arrest documents, asking everyone to attach them.
The Jinzhou County Yamen all sent out officers to check on them.
Unable to escape from the gates of Dadu City, they sneaked back.
Master Jing Zhaoyin set up numerous checkpoints along the way, just to catch them unintentionally.
Let Weichen discover something strange."
Everyone looked at Zhang Yushi with a look of surprise, but heard him continue: "During the search, the ministers discovered that there was a very strange woman on the carriage of the Duke of Qi.
She always wore a veil and followed her.
Behind Miss Guo Gongfu, the Yamen wanted to ask, but were always turned away by Miss Guo.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In this way, she also made various excuses about the origin of this woman, and Wei Chen got the news that this person was a spy from Dali, and had an old relationship with Miss Guo, although Miss Guo was pure Yue.
As a Westerner, I grew up in Dali and cannot tolerate suspicion, so I want to ask the Guo family for an explanation."
Hearing this, everyone looked suspiciously in the direction of Li Weiyang.
Li Weiyang listened to a few words, but the corners of her lips gradually rose.
Sure enough, she was waiting for her here.
She was afraid that the Dali envoys who started from today would appear and send the geese to death, which would make the emperor angry, and then everyone. pretentious , saying that it was not appropriate to declare war, in the end it was Zhang Yushi who aroused the common hatred of Dali among the ministers, making the emperor agree to classify the move of taking in Dali people as a crime of treason, and led her, Li Weiyang, into the trap step by step.
It seems ordinary, but it is scheming every step of the way.
The other party knew that she would definitely take in Concubine Lian, and also expected that she would protect this woman.
Because the other party knew too many of her secrets, she would not let Concubine Lian fall into the hands of the enemy anyway, so this kind of protection became the reason for the other party to attack her.
The emperor looked at Li Weiyang, and the coldness in his eyes swept towards her.
Li Weiyang's smile seemed to be absent, and his calm and indifferent eyes had no ripples.
The emperor turned his head and said in a cold voice: "Mr.
Qi, someone has accused you of having a spy from Dali in your house.
What can you say?"
Duke Guo of Qi quickly stood up and saluted the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation.
How dare I do this?"
The emperor smiled coldly, looked at Zhang Yushi and said: "Do you have any evidence that can convince Duke Qi?"
Zhang Yushi immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, I have evidence."
"Oh, what is the evidence?"
Qi Guogong suddenly turned his head, stared at Zhang Yushi and said: "Just because a young woman appears in my house, does this make you think that we have taken in Dali's spy?
There is no basis for it.
According to Mr.
Zhang, I advise you not to speak arrogantly."
Zhang Yushi showed no sign of weakness: "Of course I can't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty.
Duke Qi, do you dare to explain to everyone the identity of the woman in white?
Or simply let the imperial army search your home and take a look.
Who is the woman in white?"
Duke Guo of Qi was furious and said: "You are so brave, you actually want to search my home."
Then he turned around and said: "Your Majesty, I will never dare to violate your orders, let alone take in Dali spies.
Everything is just nonsense from this censor.
The loyalty of the humble ministers can be expressed in heaven.
Please observe it carefully, your majesty."
The emperor's eyes swept in front of them one by one, but they became colder and colder.
Queen Pei next to her smiled lightly and said: "Yes or no, as long as we search the Duke of Qi's mansion, everything will be clear.
Duke of Qi, you are His Majesty's most loyal minister, I guess you won't mind a search to prove your innocence."
Duke Qi's face turned cold in an instant.
He looked straight at Empress Pei, with countless cold gleams in his eyes.
However, Empress Pei was not moved at all, but her smile became gentler, graceful and elegant.
The prince immediately said: "Why, Duke Qi is worried about finding out something?"
At this point, he smiled faintly and said: "I didn't expect that Duke Qi, who always claimed to be loyal and loyal, was actually a deceitful person.
If he had no evil intentions, why would he resist the search?"
As soon as the prince spoke, everyone else spoke one after another, all trying to persuade Duke Qi to accept the search and prove his innocence.
Duke Qi said in a cold voice: "May I ask Your Highness, what if nothing is found?"
The prince glanced at Zhang Yushi.
Although he didn't know why his mother insisted on searching the Guo family, he believed in the other party's judgment.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He immediately said: "If nothing is found, I will apologize to Qi Guogong in court.
As for Zhang "Sir," but after saying this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The woman Zhang Yushi mentioned was no, no.
He clenched his fists subconsciously, and his smile slowly disappeared.
When Zhang Yushi saw the prince looking towards him, he immediately took a step forward, straightened his chest and said, "As for me, I am willing to use my life to apologize to the Duke."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Wang Qiong said quickly: "Mr.
Zhang, why are you so aggressive?
What's the matter with your life?
Today is His Majesty's birthday party.
Aren't you trying to embarrass His Majesty by saying such things?"
Zhang Yushi smiled coldly, as if he was infinitely loyal, and said with a stiff neck: "I am your Majesty's Yushi, responsible for monitoring the words and deeds of all officials.
If the Duke of Qi really harbors spies, it will be a crime of treason.
Even if you don’t need your life, you will have to do it "Get rid of this treacherous minister for Your Majesty."
As he said this, he stepped forward in three steps, took off his official hat, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Your Majesty, please order a search of the Duke of Qi's mansion.
If nothing is found, it proves that the Duke of Qi is Innocent, Weichen is willing to shed blood on the spot."
Hearing his determination, a trace of ridicule flashed across Li Weiyang's eyes.
Princess Ali looked up and saw the smile hidden in Li Weiyang's eyes, but she couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
She thought that Jia'er must be stupid.
Now is the critical moment.
It would be terrible if someone discovered Leng Lian who was sick.
The emperor nodded slightly and said: "In this case, please ask the imperial army to search the Duke of Qi's mansion.
If nothing is found, the prince will apologize.
As for Mr.
Zhang, you can only apologize with your life."
Zhang Yushi was startled and immediately lowered his head and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
With this appearance, the entire banquet became very deserted.
Everyone drank in silence, occasionally talking to each other, but everyone looked solemn.
Every time His Majesty holds a banquet, something always happens, making people panic.
Take a look at the expressions of the Guo family members, but they all look calm.
At this time, Ying Chu stood in the darkness, peeping at everything happening in the hall, but smiled faintly.
He had already received the news that Leng Lian was still at the Duke of Qi's residence.
As long as the Imperial Army goes there, they will definitely be able to find out that this person, Li Minzhi, is just a young child.
Without evidence, he is completely useless, but Leng Lian is completely different.
No matter how Li Weiyang tries to quibble, she will not be able to escape the charge of harboring a Dali spy in the Duke of Qi, especially since the spy is from the Dali royal family.
This is definitely not something the emperor can tolerate.
No matter what kind of family the Duke of Qi is, they cannot escape the charge of treason.
King Jing looked at this scene with a trace of worry in his eyes.
He knew the relationship between Li Weiyang and the Dali royal family.
If Li Weiyang really takes in someone from Dali, this matter can be big or small.
Presumably Empress Pei and the prince will seize this opportunity and put the Duke of Qi to death.
Once the Duke of Qi falls, King Jing will also come to an end.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the prince, but saw a sneer on his handsome face.
The strange thing is that Yuan Lie on the side has a nonchalant expression, and does not even make a sound to stop it, as if he does not take this matter to heart at all.
King Jing was thinking for a moment and couldn't help but calm down.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple.
The prince almost started to fidget.
He thought about the whole thing together, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
After half an hour, the imperial guards indeed brought a woman to the palace.
The commander of the imperial army said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have already checked everyone in the Duke of Qi's mansion, and finally found this woman in Princess Chenliu's residence.
She is not a slave of the Guo family.
Please verify her identity."
There was actually a spy.
When everyone heard this, they looked at the Guo family with anger and contempt.
The Dali people were clearly trying to humiliate Yuexi by sending the wild goose to death.
Not to mention that Miss Guo from the Duke of Qi had had inextricable relations with Dali.
Just talking about her taking in Dali spies was nothing. must not be tolerated The woman in white, her face covered with a veil, just bowed down to the emperor and said, "As a daughter of the people, please see your majesty and the queen."
Empress Pei frowned and seemed a little surprised and said: "Who are you?"
Li Weiyang stood up, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Reporting to the queen, this is the distant niece of my mother, Mrs.
Guo, who came from Qingzhou to join our Guo Mansion."
Empress Pei smiled lightly and said: "In that case, why do you have to cover yourself with white sand and refuse to show your true face?"
In fact, not many people can recognize Leng Lian's appearance, but her peerless beauty has already spread throughout the world.
Once her appearance is revealed, someone will naturally correct her, so no matter where she is, she is always veiled, and even the servants of the Guo family have not seen her true face.
At this time, Princess Ali suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.
Leng Lian was really found out.
What should the Guo Mansion do next?
What would Jiaer do?
This was all her fault.
If she hadn't brought Leng Lian back, it would have been much worse.
Fortunately, she was about to speak subconsciously, but Li Weiyang winked at her in time to signal her not to move.
At this time, the prince had already said: "Let her take off the veil to prove her true identity."
Li Weiyang actually took the initiative to leave the table, took a step forward, and said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty, my cousin has a wound on her face.
I am afraid of scaring the empress and everyone.
Please be merciful and don't let her take off the veil.
It's okay."
A woman’s face” Empress Pei smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her expression: "Listening to Miss Guo's words, it seems that she is deliberately trying to obscure the identity of this woman."
The prince stared at the woman in white, secretly guessing that he had kidnapped the real Leng Lian, so Li Weiyang would find someone to replace him.
If this was true, then wouldn't this so-called Dali spy be in his own courtyard?
Does Li Weiyang know that?
, did she deliberately set this trap, or was it possible that she had other intentions?
Leng Lian was just a honey trap, right?
Concubine Guo Hui lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Empress, you have no evidence to prove that the Duke of Qi has taken in Dali's spies.
It's better to ask your empress to be careful in your words and actions."
Empress Pei gave her a cold look, with a rare hint of arrogance and wantonness in her eyes.
She sneered and said: "Concubine Hui, please stop acquitting the Duke of Qi.
Mr.
Zhang swears by it, and there must be conclusive evidence.
You should still persuade Miss Guo to plead guilty earlier, so as not to implicate more innocent people."
But at this time, the figure of the woman in white trembled slightly, as if she was trembling with fear.
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Since the empress insists, you can take off the white gauze."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The woman was startled, then nodded slightly, and with a movement of her bare hands, she actually brushed the white gauze off her face.
When everyone saw it, they immediately exclaimed.
It turned out that the woman's beautiful face was actually covered with countless red spots.
It’s as densely packed as pockmarks, and it’s impossible to see the original appearance clearly.
Queen Pei suddenly clenched her palms, staring at him almost in disbelief.
Then her eyes fell on the corner of the hall, where Ying Chu was hiding.
He was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner of the crowd, with infinite shock on his face at this moment.
The woman in white had tears streaming down her face and said in a plaintive voice: "Your Majesty and your Majesty, please forgive me.
The daughter of the Han family, Liu, suffered from a skin disease, so she had to hide it.
This time I came to Dadu to find Famous doctors only cure diseases.
The birthplace of Min Nu is in Qingzhou.
All this can be traced.
Your Majesty can send people to Min Nu’s hometown to inquire and find out.
Min Nu is called Liu Chunxue.
She has a name, a surname, a father, a mother, and a tribe. , definitely not a spy from Dali."
When the Queen heard this, she already understood.
In an instant, she understood that she had been fooled by Li Weiyang, and that the other party had played a trick on her.
She had clearly noticed their intentions, but she still deliberately pretended to be fooled.
Leng Lian stayed in the mansion and waited until this time to give her a surprise blow.
However, this is really an unexpected "surprise".
Where did that good living person go?
Why couldn't they be found in the search?
Li Weiyang smiled and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I also have important matters."
The emperor frowned and said, "Miss Guo, what do you have to say?"
Li Weiyang smiled gently and had a graceful manner: "Actually, what Mr.
Zhang said is not wrong.
There were indeed spies from Dali who came to look for the minister before, but she was sternly rejected by the minister and kicked her out of the door."
Hearing this.
Here, everyone's expressions changed.
The emperor looked at Qi Guogong and said, "Oh, is this true?"
Duke Qi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, my little girl is right.
We all know about this matter, and we have also reported it to Master Jing Zhaoyin, asking him to catch the spy of Dali, Jing Zhaoyin.
But for some reason, my lord, you didn’t tell Yu Shi Zhang, which led to this misunderstanding.”
Yuan Lie glanced at Jing Zhaoyin with a cold smile in his eyes.
Jing Zhaoyin then stood up, saluted the emperor and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Miss Guo has indeed filed a record at the Yamen."
Queen Pei stared at Jing Zhaoyin like a poisonous snake.
Ever since the last incident with the Pei family, Jing Zhaoyin had been vaguely at odds with her, and now it seemed that he had clearly joined King Jing's lineage.
The prince suppressed his anxiety and said sternly: "Guo Jia, you went to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to file a record.
When did it happen and what evidence is there?"
Jing Zhaoyin sighed secretly in his heart and said: "Your Highness, when Miss Guo came to register, the three adults, General Zhendong, Shangshu of Hubu and Yuanwailang, were all in Weichen's house at that time.
They could all take the place of Duke Qi.
The government testified that Miss Guo did come to the Yamen to file a record and She also described the woman clearly.
She also mentioned that the woman's true identity was the Emperor Dali's most beloved concubine Lian.
Therefore, Weichen could vouch for Miss Guo that she had absolutely nothing to do with her.
If not, why would she betray Concubine Lian?"

Li Weiyang faced everyone's shocked expressions and said calmly: "Everyone knows that I was adopted by the Prime Minister of Dali since I was a child, so I was named a princess and had contact with people in the palace.
I am naturally the Lotus Concubine.
They knew each other.
This time she was expelled by the emperor of Dali.
When she came out, she accidentally bumped into me and wanted to seek refuge with me.
Unfortunately, His Majesty had already issued a strict order not to allow Dali people to enter the country, so I kicked her out.
I originally wanted to kidnap her and ask her to see the official.
But I was in a busy city at that time, and I didn’t bring any protection.
Wei, in order to avoid disturbing the situation, quietly drew a picture of her description and sent it to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yamen for filing.
Your Majesty, I feel that the sudden arrival of Concubine Lian in Yuexi is not just a simple escape, just like just now.
What His Royal Highness the Prince said must be for In order to spy on our country's political, military and public sentiment, perhaps Dali was the leader of the spies in Western Vietnam.
He deliberately performed a double act in order to make us believe it in order to penetrate into Western Vietnam.
Please forgive me for being unreasonable and return it.
Your Majesty, please send someone to arrest her as soon as possible."
Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Yuan Lie smiled slightly, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please leave this errand to me."
The emperor looked at Yuan Lie solemnly for the first time, but he smiled coldly in his heart: You are so good at singing the double act.
You dare to play tricks in front of me, and you think everyone is a fool.
He could almost imagine what the whole thing was like.
Empress Pei must have used a trick to send Concubine Lian to the Duke of Qi's palace, and took this opportunity to bring up such a topic, forcing the emperor to search.
Unexpectedly, Li Weiyang took the initiative and sent Concubine Lian out of the house first, and revealed everything to the emperor in advance.
In this way, even if Leng Lian is searched out or confesses something, Li Weiyang can say that Leng Lian is just holding a grudge and taking the opportunity to take revenge after being confessed by her.
I will never believe anything Leng Lian said anymore.
Li Weiyang's approach is really cruel and cruel.
It's hard to see that such a cold, indifferent and delicate little girl actually has such thoughts.
The prince's face was very ugly.
He already understood the origin of that woman in his family.
He would never have imagined that such a beautiful woman was actually an emperor's concubine.
Was he being treated like a monkey?
Damn Leng Lian.
The emperor smiled lightly and said: "Zhang Yushi, do what you just said still count?"
Zhang Yushi was trembling at this moment.
He knelt down under the throne and did not dare to say a word.
He could only glance at Empress Pei with his eyes.
The prince gritted his teeth and said, "Father, please remember that you are only loyal to Yushi Zhang."
"Shut up."
The emperor suddenly waved his hand to stop the prince's next words, and said calmly: "Falsely accusing Zhongliang is a capital crime.
Do you still want to intercede for such a fool?"
Zhang Shangshu immediately begged for mercy loudly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just accidentally fell into the trap of the traitor.
He definitely did not want to frame the Duke of Qi."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Empress Pei showing no mercy at all: "Zhang Censor, if you dare to do something, you must dare to do it.
Since the matter has reached this point, the Duke of Qi has already proved their innocence, you should also know what to do."
After hearing Empress Pei's cold words, Zhang Yushi felt as if a basin of ice water was poured from head to toe, and his whole body was cold to the bone, all the way to the bottom of his heart.
He knew that he had been abandoned by Empress Pei, but what could he do?
After serving as an official for so many years, all his leverage was already in Empress Pei's hands.
Once she wanted to die, he would have to die without thinking about it.

He stood up without saying a word and unexpectedly bumped into the jade pillar next to her.
Everyone was completely shocked by this scene.
They saw that the opponent's head was bleeding in a moment, and he fell to the ground.
All he saw was a blood hole as big as a bowl on his head.
It was obvious that he had used a lot of strength.
The guard came up He stepped forward to check and whispered back: "Your Majesty, I'm out of breath."
It's so easy to die.
Li Weiyang smiled coldly.
If things go wrong, he will kill people and silence them.
Empress Pei had a really good idea, but everything will be as easy as she imagined.
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
The emperor looked at Li Weiyang and said harmoniously: "Not only is the Duke of Qi not guilty, Miss Guo has also made great contributions.
She reported Dali's spies, and I will reward her heavily."
He clapped his hands, and several people The palace maid held a dozen trays, which were covered with red silk, but the golden light underneath was faintly visible.
Everyone couldn't help but marvel, the emperor was so generous and the gifts he gave were extraordinary.
Li Weiyang smiled softly and thanked her: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Then, she returned to her seat.
The emperor personally gave him fine wine, which was served by the palace maid.
Li Weiyang thanked him again, and then drank it all in one gulp.
At the first moment of entrance, she and the emperor looked at each other through the rim of the wine glass.
The emperor's eyes revealed a cold meaning, but there was no trace of a smile.
Li Weiyang smiled coldly and didn't care at all.
The other party's face is as hard as ice and cold as water, but in Li Weiyang's view, so what?
The angrier he gets, the more he has to maintain a perfect smile.
This emperor is so cowardly, so it's okay not to do it.
Princess Ali sighed greatly and said: "It's okay, it's okay.
I was really scared to death just now.
Where did this Liu Chunxue come from?"
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "You are confused.
She has not always been in Guo's house these days."
Ali frowned, as if she wanted to ask something, but she quickly realized it, lowered her body, and laughed at a volume that only two people could hear: "So you are cheating."
Li Weiyang said with a smile: "Who in this hall is not trying to trick Queen Pei to harm me?
Can't I use my own way to counteract that person?"
When she said this, a trace of coldness flashed through her heart.
Ridicule, if Empress Pei knew that the beautiful Leng Lian was here She is sitting in the prince's villa.
I really don't know what kind of expression she will show.
I'm afraid she will be angry.
But now is not the best time.
When the time is right, she will naturally let Empress Pei know that she has committed the crime.
What a mistake.
Li Weiyang thought silently in her heart, Leng Lian, the next step is up to you.
You are not as good as me in playing tricks, but I believe you should have your own way to deal with men.
If the prince keeps you even though he knows your identity, you will be of sufficient use.
Otherwise, you will be nothing more than a loser.
Princess Ali glanced at Empress Pei, but felt a little uneasy in her heart: "Look at the other person's eyes.

They are so beautiful, but they are as cold as ice.
It's really scary."
Li Weiyang did not look at Queen Pei, nor at the angry prince.
Her eyes turned to Yingchu, who was silent among the crowd.
She knew that this plan was mostly done by the other party.
Ying Chu is not stupid.
His game may not be successful against others, but it will definitely be effective against Li Weiyang.
Because he knows people's weaknesses very well, and he also knows that according to Li Weiyang's suspicious personality, he will definitely keep Leng Lian by his side, but he never thought that Li Weiyang would send Leng Lian to the prince.
But in fact, who can guess what Li Weiyang is thinking in his heart?
Yuan Lie looked at Li Weiyang from a distance, smiled softly, raised his glass and drank it all.
At this banquet, he was the person who knew Weiyang best, but this time, he was a little unsure of her thoughts.
Prince, Prince, do you know what kind of person Weiyang sent to you?
When necessary, I'm afraid this bomb will blow up your bones.
The prince was full of doubts at this moment.
If Li Weiyang deliberately planned all this, she would definitely expose everything and explain that Leng Lian was in her house, but why didn't she do this?
Could it be that she was just following the plan and didn't know Leng Lian at all?
Where did she go when she disappeared?
Otherwise, why such a good clue was not used?
This absolutely makes no sense.
There is only one explanation, and that is that she and Leng Lian did not collude in advance.
Today is just an old conspiracy.
