Chapter 586

"Why are you blushing!"

Princess Yufeng's eyes were full of doubt: "why, you seven-year-old girl, do you still understand these?"

Although people around him call Xie dingning his highness, for a long time, Xie dingning may have accepted the identity of the eldest princess, but why would a seven-year-old child have such a big reaction when he heard the word "son-in-law"?

"I'm choking! Can't I?" Princess Jing Rongchang asked confidently.

"Really?" Princess Yufeng leaned closer to her direction, narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the face, and whispered, "Xie dingning... Why don't I think you're really stupid today?"

"Of course I'm not stupid." Princess Jing Rongchang rolled her eyes. "You're stupid."

Princess Yufeng's eyes stared - how dare you contradict her with the old man's unclear girl in front of her?

Do you think she can't lift the knife?

Princess Yufeng immediately rolled her sleeve and scratched at the long princess.

The long Princess leaned away, grabbed a pillow and hit it.

Looking at the mother and daughter fighting in the car, Shi Shi silently protected the teapot and bowl.

After making such a noise for a while, the long princess was really tired, so she leaned against Princess Yufeng and yawned and closed her eyes.

"Xie Jiaojiao..."

"What? Would you like me to nod my head and promise you the marriage with mingxiaozhi?" Princess Yufeng thought half truely and sighed: "there's really no precedent for accepting bald old men in our long princess's house... I have to think about it."

"...." the eldest princess ignored her words and quickly fell asleep with one arm in her arms.

"Your Highness should be really tired," Shishi whispered, taking a thin blanket to cover the long princess.

Princess Yufeng looked at the evenly breathing face.

Are there many people who make noise and cry?

I thought that letting Xie dingning be a child should be easy and carefree.

But her family Xie dingning... Is it really easy?

Princess Yufeng seemed to sigh.

A wisp of autumn wind got into the car. Princess Yufeng raised her hand and gently pulled the blanket up again.

……

In the heart nourishing hall, the emperor leaned against the arhat bed, but the bright candles could not disperse the dark color at the bottom of his eyes.

The ministers gathered in the hall, and the atmosphere was tense.

Before that, no one thought that the riot in the daytime temple was just the beginning

Soon after the Taimiao returned to the palace, news came that in a short half day, there was no one left in the town government, from the Xu family members to the Yiying servants!

What's more frightening is that even Dingnan Prince and his wife have disappeared!

In this case, it is obvious who planned the Taimiao today

It must have been a plan to do it so neatly... So the idea has been saved since the Duke of Zhenguo returned to Beijing. What he said earlier about the right to hand over troops is basically teasing the emperor!

A minister sighed heavily in the bottom of his heart.

I thought Zhen Guogong was a loyal and honest man. Who would have thought he was an emotional liar!

However, when you think about it, these changes are not without reason

Not to mention the emperor's many suspicions, he picked a close one and said that as soon as the king of Yan was going to Beijing, the emperor wanted to transfer Xu's army by borrowing from the Li family

The Duke of the town recommended himself to lead the troops. The emperor is very kind. People are fighting hard and hard. He has poisoned people here—— Don't say it's all Xia Tingzhen's idea. Who hasn't grown eyes yet?

This first requires the life of the Duke of town. Seeing that his life is not going to succeed, he wants to bring his only granddaughter into the palace... Who in the capital doesn't know that this little girl is the eye of the Duke of town?

If you really want someone to come into the palace, I'm afraid it's even worse than directly killing the Duke of Zhenguo!

This coquettish operation is one after another. Don't mention the impatient temper of the Duke of town. If they are afraid, they may not be able to sit still. After all, there must be no waiting for death in anyone's hobby!

Of course, we can't say that the emperor did wrong

The art of emperor is right and wrong, but the premise is that you have to have that ability, don't you?

No ability to toss around, people are still addicted to food, who will overturn if you don't overturn!

If you really think it's a disaster for the Duke of the town to hold Xu Jiajun, you can call them to secretly discuss countermeasures. Although it's not honorable to suspect meritorious officials, for the sake of the country, they have to... Right?

They are not white-collar salary!

If you want military power, tell them!

I want to, but I can't pull down this face, and I want to keep the benevolent and magnanimous human design, so I shut the door and pondered, oh, I pulled Xia Tingzhen to discuss - that's a scourge of playing with power and seeking profits for myself. If I listen to him, I won't be finished!

Now the stall has collapsed. I know I have to consult with them about countermeasures, but what else can I have so-called good ideas now?

Nothing more than waiting for news. I just hope to find it in time and recover people

Otherwise, it will be a disaster!

In the end, this is not just the power of the town government!

The atmosphere was anxious, and finally a messenger arrived.

A police guard whose face was burned by poison powder and a soldier knelt down in the hall.

Looking at the look and posture of these two people, the hearts of the officials have been sinking for a few points.

The detective Wei Xian opened his mouth, his forehead against the cold gold brick, and his voice trembled: "inform your majesty, the Duke of the town... Escaped."

This short sentence changed the faces of all the people in the hall.

Even though they have thought of this possibility, but they are really hearing this sentence, the officials are still cold.

“……”

As early as the two people who reported the news entered the hall, they had forced themselves to sit up straight. Emperor Qingming did not speak for a moment.

After the strange silence lasted for a moment, the emperor suddenly waved his sleeve and swept away the tea lamps and other objects on the small table at his elbow.

"Bang!"

The loud noise spread in the hall, and the tea and broken porcelain splashed. The two people who knelt and trembled almost put their upper bodies on the floor tiles.

"Where's Han Yan?" emperor Qingming asked sternly.

"Go back... Go back to your majesty. The commander made him seriously injured and unconscious. Now his life and death are uncertain..."

Han Yan was seriously injured?!

Several ministers were slightly surprised.

"That means I caught up!" the emperor was frosty.

"Yes... But they used poison, so they escaped... The commander only brought a hundred people..." the wanted guard trembled: "but when we left the city, the commander had ordered people to deliver a letter to the Beijing camp. Before the Duke of town and others escaped, we heard a signal in the direction of the Beijing camp. We thought..."

I thought I could stop it with the army of Jingying!

The soldier wanted to swear at his mother - he couldn't escape, and he had to be dragged into the water at this time!

This is not interesting. Can you keep company with me on the huangquan road!

"As soon as the battalion received the report, they ordered troops to chase after him without delay. The villain followed Deputy General Yang to the Bank of Jingshui River, but... Xu Jiajun came to meet him first and cut off the cable bridge on Jingshui River..."

Hearing this, Emperor Qingming burst into laughter.

"Good... Good, really good!"

He really raised a group of useful talents!

Jie's laughter hit the hearts of the people and made people hair at the bottom of their hearts.

Several ministers exchanged eyes secretly. I'm afraid the emperor is not going crazy

In a moment, Emperor Qingming suddenly put away his smile and said in a fixed voice, "drag these two people down and kill them!"

"Emperor, spare your life!"

The soldier quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but before he could make a second sound, he was pulled out with his mouth covered.

The officials were cold in the back, but no one spoke to stop them.

At such a juncture, the most important thing is the next response. As for the lives of these two people and whether the emperor wants to be a person or not, it is not worth wasting words.

A Minister stood up and proposed, "Your Majesty, Xu Qiwei has been charged with rebellion. It is urgent to send troops to encircle and suppress it immediately!"

"Don't forget, Mr. Su, the little prince is still in their hands!" the imperial Shi of the Ming Dynasty stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think we can act rashly!"

"How can this be called reckless action? Xu Qiwei took away not only the little prince, but also the Empress Dowager and Empress Wu, and Dingnan's son has also defected from Beijing. It can be seen that this is the conspiracy of Xu Wu and King Yan secretly! If they are not removed in time, will they be allowed to sit big!"

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty sneered: "Lord Su encircles and suppresses one by one. Are you kidding? It's more than 100000 Xu family army, but it's not what a nest of mountain bandits can do! Do you rely on Lord Su's mouth to suppress what you want?"

"You..."

"What the emperor of the Ming Dynasty said is reasonable..." the Minister of rites echoed: "Your Majesty, I think we should try to appease the Duke of the town first in order to get back the world."

"Where is there any possibility of returning to the world? Since Xu Qiwei has robbed the Empress Dowager and others, it is impossible to turn back!"

"This is not necessarily..." a minister thought carefully: "the Duke of the town wants to invest in the king of Yan, and what he wants is just to exchange for self-protection in the current situation. If your majesty is willing to make peace with him in good faith, calm his heart, and give him a place to live, it may avoid a turmoil..."

Emperor Qingming sneered.

Show sincerity?

This is to ask him to ask Xu Qiwei!

How to make peace?

How to calm down!

Give way to the land and allow it to stand on its own as king!

That's ridiculous!

The officials in the hall had great differences and could not argue for a time.

At this time, an internal supervisor entered the hall. It was Ji Xiu, the Minister of war, who asked for an audience with the Secretary of Dali temple.

When they were outside the hall, they heard the quarrel. When they entered the hall, they didn't see much quiet.

When meeting the Dali Temple secretary, a colleague with good relations asked him to join the camp: "Xu Qiwei openly rebelled, but there are still people who advocate peace. In the face of such chaotic officials and thieves, if they blindly give in, will they not encourage their arrogance! If others take this as an example, I don't know how many Xu Qiwei are there! How can I stand in Daqing! Tell me the reason!"

Looking at the red face of his friends and others, the Secretary of Dali temple was as calm as a lotus in front of the Buddha, quiet, serene and detached.

He's got his coffins selected. What else?

At this time, I would have gone home to eat and sleep if I hadn't reported something important.

Listening to the quarrel in his ear, Ji Xiu's mood is also different from the people's Congress.

What about seeking peace or not? They quarreled vigorously. They also listed the disadvantages of seeking peace here, as if the Duke of the town would agree immediately.

Give a city?

People can rob it by themselves. They don't want you to give it!

Emperor Qingming heard a fire burning in his heart, looked at Dali Temple Qing and Ji Xiu, who had no chance to speak, and asked, "have those assassins caught alive?"

"Back to your majesty, I captured five people and handed them over to the Fuji of Beizhen for interrogation." Ji xiudao said: "as for the remaining people who escaped, I have ordered people to search and arrest them in the city."

It's not that he works hard——

After all, if you don't do your best, you will catch and cut all these people. It won't be of any real use. At most, it's just to vent your anger on the emperor.

The Minister of Dali Temple then said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Say!"

He wants to hear what bad things can happen today!

"Half an hour ago, Xia Tingzhen... Hanged herself for fear of guilt in prison."

"What..." emperor Qingming's eyes changed.

Xia Tingzhen killed herself?

The noise in the hall immediately disappeared.

No one expected to hear such a news at this time——

At present, there is no doubt whether today's matter is related to Xia Tingzhen. The assassination and even prison robbery is just a means for the Duke of the town to confuse his sight in the name of Xia Tingzhen.

Although Xia Tingzhen is in prison, she may not have heard of it at all

When the Duke of Zhenguo rebelled, the exchange of military power became empty talk. It was supposed to be an opportunity for Xia Tingzhen... Why did he choose to commit suicide?

What they could see, Emperor Qingming naturally thought of it.

But the difference is that he has another guess.

Assassination and prison robbery have been proved to be the work of Xu Qiwei

Only one thing has not been confirmed - the poisonous tea Rong held in front of him in the imperial temple today

Rong's bitch still refuses to admit it.

But he believed that she would confess sooner or later

Therefore, there is no need to jump to a conclusion about Xia Tingzhen's suicide.

As for whether the other party is dead or alive, it doesn't make much sense to him now. Now that he has done this step, Xia Tingzhen can't use it again and dare to use it again.

Die, die.

"I see."

The emperor's voice was calm and cold.

The ministers could not guess for a moment, and they had no time to guess more. To put it bluntly, at the moment of this great event, the death of an insignificant Xia Tingzhen is nothing.

The world is unpredictable. Some things that can stir up a sensation are nothing at a special juncture.

Once he was in power for more than ten years, he died and couldn't even stir up a splash.

Emperor Qingming's dim vision fell on Ji Xiu.

"I'm discussing Xu Qiwei's rebellion with all the ministers. I just want to hear Ji Qing's views."

Ji Xiu answered "yes".

The lights in the heart nourishing hall were on all night.

When the officials left, the eastern sky had faintly turned white.

Almost a night and a day without eating, they only took water to bear it. At this time, most of the officials were exhausted, and all the people who should have argued were just arguing. At this time, when they left in twos and threes, they all kept silent and said no more, but their faces were not optimistic.

Ji Xiu went out of the Forbidden Palace Gate and sat in the official sedan chair. His eyes were uncertain.

The emperor doubted him.
