The king was wrong

Since the Queen and the Duke's Mansion fell at the same time, the people have shouted long live.What the queen has done these years has really chilled the people of the Lanchao. Now that she has suddenly lost power, the people spread the word of mouth, and they are really happy.

But in contrast, the court has fallen into a strange atmosphere.

It turns out that because of the queen's support in the court, the military generals followed Yong Wang Ye Wei Yanxi, and the civil servants were always dominated by Sheng Guogong Qi Xiaosu's family, especially after Sheng Guogong's second son overcame all difficulties to marry Yong Wang The young minister strengthened the front line of the Qi Family Party, and even the current capital and assistant chose to keep silent to protect himself, and rarely confronted the Duke.

But now, the Qi family collapsed overnight, the empress and the Duke were placed under house arrest, and the civil servants suddenly lost their backbone, shaking like a mess of sand.

The emperor is too resolute in doing the facts this time, and Dali Temple is not idle, and within five days, it has properly collected the evidence of the cooperation between the Duke and the Queen, from personal evidence to physical evidence, and even Mrs. Chen, who was dismissed from office because of the queen's persecution, invited back again, and made public all the evidence he collected about the queen's interference in the government and disrupting Chaogang, as the last straw to overwhelm Qi's party.

The emperor did all this methodically, quickly and decisively, and directly convicted the Qi family without even breathing a sigh of relief.

But as the saying goes, one slap can't be slapped, and the emperor's order alone is definitely not enough to bring down the Qi family.But the ministers were astonished to find that when the emperor decided to convict them of the crimes found in Dali Temple, not only did no one object, but many people stood up and shouted for the wiseness of the emperor and supported the emperor to give them as soon as possible. The Qi family was convicted.

It wasn't until this time that the ministers suddenly realized that at some point in time, the confidantes of the Lord Guo in the court had defected and dismissed, and now there is even one person who can stand up and speak for them without hesitation. All gone.

At the same time, they also understood that the emperor had already put all his energy into fighting against the Qi family. He had been secretly accumulating evidence and cultivating his own power for so many years before swallowing his anger, just waiting to completely overthrow them all at once today.

As a result, those ministers who were still a bit vacillating and didn't know whether they should stand up and speak for the Qi family were completely bored, and only hoped that this fire would not burn themselves.

Of course, some thoughtful ministers also had doubts. Although the queen has become more domineering and domineering in recent years, and Qi Xiaosu has become more greedy, but after all, it is a transaction of power and money. Even if the emperor wants to punish them, it seems that there is no need All of a sudden, the whole government was affected.Could it be that they did some heinous things that made the emperor hate him so much?

Of course, at this juncture, no one would stand up and ask these questions. Because the court lacked a backbone, the structure of the court has undergone great changes.It's ridiculous to say that Mr. Shoufu, who was always quiet before, has suddenly become a popular candidate for everyone to curry favor with.

Because no one obstructed, Dali Temple acted quickly, within ten days after finding out the facts, they drafted a crime and submitted it to the emperor. The queen was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason. A charge of collusion with an enemy country.

It is said that the emperor Longyan was furious at that time, and immediately issued an order to deprive Qi Songjin of his successor, confine her to the cold palace, and give her to death after the prince was born. That's all, Qi Xiaosu's position as the Duke of the country, and all his family members will be imprisoned, and they will be released in a month. Frontier, never allowed to set foot in Kyoto again.

It took less than a month from the trigger to the conclusion of the matter, which shows that the emperor's uprooting of Qi's family is inevitable.

However, just as the ministers were still in shock because of the downfall of the Qi family, another news that shocked them came again——

Beidi sent troops to Lanchao!

Beidi was warlike at first, so it is not surprising to send troops to Lanchao again.It's just that it's only been more than a year since Prince Yong defeated Beidi last time. This time is not long or short. Although it is enough for them to breathe, it is still a bit hasty to start a war with Lanchao again.King Beidi is cunning and resourceful, why would he rush to send troops before he is fully prepared?Could it be that they encountered some opportunity during this little time and quickly strengthened their troops?

There are quite a few people who have such doubts, but looking at their emperor, he is not surprised at all, as if this matter has been predicted by him long ago.

"You don't have to hide it from me. You know how much of Beidi's dispatch of troops is from your handwriting, you know better than me."

Fenglai Palace, Wei Chengtian looked around, and saw that all kinds of rare and antiques had been ripped out, and there were a few small cloth bags on the ground beside the couch, all of which were arranged by the maids, and they were about to be brought by Qi Songjin Something to go to the cold palace.

After looking around, Wei Chengtian's eyes fixed on the familiar face not far away, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

Qi Songjin was still the same Qi Songjin, even though he was haggard, the gorgeous after-clothes on his body still shone brightly under the light of the setting sun.Even though she is no longer the empress of Lanchao, she still strives to maintain the majesty and nobility of a queen.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The concubine has now become an abandoned concubine in the cold palace, so how can he make trouble again?"

When Qi Songjin said this, he didn't look at Wei Chengtian, but squinted his eyes and looked out the window.It was late autumn and winter, and the chill was everywhere. I saw that the sycamore tree in front of the gate of Fenglai Palace had withered and almost lost its leaves.

The phoenix perches on the sycamore tree. Now that the sycamore tree is suffering, the phoenix will naturally not be able to live there.

"Make waves, haha, your evaluation of yourself is quite appropriate." Wei Chengtian raised his face with a smile, nodded and said, "But it's true, no matter how big your wrist is now, you won't be able to make any waves. What you can really count on right now, Isn't there only the Beidi King who is far away in the sky?"

Hearing this, Qi Songjin turned his head and met Wei Chengtian's eyes. Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. On the contrary, he was so dangerous that people looked intimidated.

This is the husband she once assisted and relied on wholeheartedly.

"Yes," she nodded slowly, "Beidi sent troops, how does the emperor plan to deal with it? Then let King Yong go to fight? Well, if King Yong is willing to go, he will surely win, but the key...is that he has to be willing." go."

Sure enough, Wei Chengtian's pupils shrank when he heard the words, and his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Qi Songjin.

"What do you mean?"

"Your majesty is worrying too much, what's the point of my concubines?" Qi Songjin covered his lips and chuckled, "The emperor ruined my Qi family overnight, but if my concubines remember correctly, Concubine Yong is also from the Qi family, oh , seems to be the younger brother of the concubine. Tsk tsk, the concubine is just thinking, if the entire Qi family is sent to the frontier, will the prince follow the concubine, or go to the north to help the emperor fight?"

When she said this, she was actually a little apprehensive, after all, she was not completely sure about Wei Yanxi's attitude towards Qi Yaoqing.Judging from the information she received before, Prince Yong loved this princess very much, but the news from the palace was blocked, and she was not sure whether the love shown by Wei Yanxi was from the heart or for some other purpose.

But now at this juncture, success or failure can only be a gamble. She originally wanted to use Wei Yanxi's hand to end Qi Yaoqing for her, but now, maybe it can save her life in turn.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Wei Chengtian's face turned ugly.

He has arranged everything, as long as Wei Yanxi listens to him and quits Qi Yaoqing, then nothing will happen, even if Beidi invades, he can resist it.But when the two of them talked that day, Wei Yanxi made it very clear that he would never divorce his wife in this life, that is to say, he had made up his mind to fight against himself and vowed to protect the princess surnamed Qi to the death.

Wei Chengtian was filled with resentment, when he was asked to bear the humiliation and marry Qi Yaoqing, it was all done, and he had hoped to use his hands to fight for the whole family, but who knew that something happened along the way, and this happened unexpectedly.He messed up a whole game of chess!

Wei Chengtian knew very well that when Beidi came to attack, especially this time their king was willing to risk his life for a woman, the other generals could resist for a while, but it was not a long-term solution.The only one who can really defeat Beidi is Wei Yanxi, who has been fighting with them all year round.

But right now, if Wei Chengtian pardoned Qi Yaoqing in order to appease him, someone has fought this battle, but what will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think of him?How could the members of the Qi family obediently go to the frontier to die?

But if he insisted on questioning Qi Yaoqing, then according to Wei Yanxi's temper, he was not kidding. He had a heavy soldier in his hand, and if he got angry and turned to force the palace, then the loss outweighed the gain.

Oh, Wei Chengtian smiled wryly in his heart, Beidi Wang was angry at the crown and became a concubine, but his younger brother was fine, he became a man and wife at the crown, and Ben sent him an enemy, but in the end he fell in love with him , really useless!

Seeing that Wei Chengtian hadn't spoken for a long time, Qi Songjin thought that what he said was touching his heart, so he continued: "King Yong didn't go to war for the sake of my concubine's younger brother, hehe, I'm afraid that the emperor's fame will be planted on it for the rest of his life. Concubine I have always wondered why the emperor suddenly overthrew his concubines and the Qi family, could it be that seeing the love between the prince and concubine is so tight, he is afraid that the throne will not be stable?"

"presumptuous!"

Before she finished speaking, Wei Chengtian slapped her.He used all the strength in this palm, half of Qi Songjin's cheeks suddenly swelled up, and a little bit of blood spilled from the corners of his lips.But she laughed back from the pain, clutching her slightly protruding belly, and stared at Wei Chengtian intently.

She had agreed with Beidi Wang Huyan before that because of Qi Yaoqing, Wei Yanxi had a great possibility to let go of this battle. As long as Beidi can delay as much as possible and try to drag Lanchao down during this period, then wait for her As soon as his child was born, there must be a way to end Wei Chengtian and take his throne directly.

At that time, she will be the expected Queen Mother, and Qi Xiaosu will be the little emperor's grandfather. Let's see who dares to harm Qi's family!

She made good calculations, but she didn't know that Wei Chengtian saw her subconscious movements and smiled mockingly, as if he wasn't so angry anymore.

This woman still thought she was pregnant with her own child.
