Wu Yu

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was caught off guard, not to mention how Vice General Zhang and the Queen were together, this is already intriguing enough.

The key point is that this lieutenant general is Lin Cheng's lieutenant general.

He stared at Lin Cheng with open and dark eyes, but Lin Cheng had no time to pay attention to it. His face was like gold paper, and the arrogance he usually held was clean, leaving only fear and anxiety, "No, there must be something strange in it! Your Majesty..."

"Enough!" The smile on Chong Lu's face also disappeared, he threw away the wine cup in his hand, pointed at his nose and pressed the fire, "Shut up!"

Lin Cheng, who was eager to explain, was stunned, his words got stuck, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he froze there blankly.

"Your Majesty..." he said nah.

Chong Lu didn't give him half a look, but snorted coldly, swayed his sleeves and led a group of ministers to the back garden. Xie Lingyu followed Prime Minister Xie with his head down, his eyebrows slightly condensed. But it is just right to worry.

The chaos in the back garden is not as imagined.

Xing Yaxian, who had a "miscarriage", had already been taken away by the rushing imperial physician, leaving only a puddle of blood that hadn't dried up. When they arrived in a hurry, they saw the mad-looking Queen Zhang and her corpse covered in a white cloth.

When Empress Zhang saw Zhonglu, it was as if she had seen a life-saving straw. Her hair had been scattered in a tug of war with the imperial guards, and when she looked up, she was full of anticipation and unwillingness. Lu crawled around, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, without any image at all.

"Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged... not the concubine!"

She murmured an explanation at first, then she screamed louder and louder, her shrill voice pierced her ears, like a crazy woman, she didn't have the dignity of a queen.

Disgust flashed in Zhonglu's eyes, his sleeves moved, and the commander of the imperial guards stepped forward clearly. The guards of the imperial guards drew out their long swords and stopped in front of Mrs. Zhang. Her words stopped abruptly, and she stared blankly at the sharp The blade of the sword trembled and fell to the ground.

And the man she had married with never gave her half a look, just glanced casually in disgust, then gave orders indifferently, and didn't even want to ask her the cause and effect.

"Come here, please bring the Queen back to Fengyi Palace, and Deputy Zhang will hand over the body to you." Zhong Lu said with anger.

"Where is Xing Shangshu?"

Xing Shang's face was full of urgency and worry, the elders' eyes turned red, and after a heavy meal, he lowered his voice and said: "I will definitely give Ai Qing an explanation for today's matter, Xing Shangshu..."

Xing Shang suddenly knelt down, choked with sobs and said: "Your Majesty, if you trust me, you might as well let me thoroughly investigate this case by myself, and the old minister will also give Your Majesty the truth!"

Sun Qian supported him by his side, Chong Lu was silent for a while, and waved his hand, "Forget it, if you want, I will leave it to you to investigate. I allow you to go back to rest today, and I will give Xing some supplements later. Make up your body, miss."

Xing Shangshu didn't say anything, Xie En resigned.

Standing beside Prime Minister Xie, Xie Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's main event hadn't been played yet, and the palace banquet still had to go on. Even if Chonglu was holding back his anger, he had to take care of the overall situation, so he had to go down the slope and let Xing Shang take full responsibility for the matter.

One is to appease the Xing family temporarily, and the other is to not want to make a big fuss today. If the plan is not successful, we can't tear ourselves apart.

Palace Hall.

All the ministers followed His Majesty back to the palace banquet, and the atmosphere froze for a while. Everyone was still in the mood to appreciate the dance, and they all sighed in their hearts. Today is really a happy day and a sad day.

Look at General Lin's face, and then look at General Sun's smiling virtue. They really can't understand this situation more and more. After tonight, they may have to stand in line again.

Xie Lingyu saw that everyone looked different, took a sip of tea, and suddenly got up to salute, "Thank you, my minister, for giving me such an opportunity to practice, if you don't have your majesty's trust, make a quick decision, I am afraid that the people of Nanling are still in dire straits. "

"Yunlou has benefited a lot from this trip. Your Majesty personally hosted a banquet for the minister. Yunlou is very grateful!"

The anger of the heavy killing dissipated a bit, and he was more satisfied in his heart. He walked down the steps he gave, and said with a light smile, "Young Master Xie is humble. If it weren't for your ability, how could the Nanling matter be resolved so smoothly?"

The ministers seemed to have opened up the chatterbox, and they were full of praise for Xie Lingyu. The smile on Zhonglu's smile was a little more sincere, and he suddenly raised his face and said, "Young Master Xie has made great achievements this time, what reward do you want?"

Xie Lingyu hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking, Zhong Lu looked at him with great interest, not in the slightest impatient, but curious about what he wanted.

All the ministers held their breaths and looked at Xie Lingyu together, even Prime Minister Xie glanced at his son unobtrusively.

Xie Lingyu raised his head, just when everyone thought he was finally going to speak, he suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down, and said sincerely, "I have thought about it for a long time, but there is no reward I want."

Chong Lu raised his eyebrows, pretending to be angry and said, "Why, there is no Mr. Xie in this palace who can look up to you?"

Xie Lingyu shook his head neither humble nor overbearing, "I only wish for peace in the world. If your majesty uses it well, I will be willing to do so. This is what Yunlou's heart wants. I don't want fame and fortune, but only a prosperous world."

"To be a courtier, isn't it just to solve problems for His Majesty?"

"You are the Son of Heaven, and it is the best reward for a subject to be appreciated by His Majesty."

What he said was impeccable. To others, it would seem somewhat flattering, but Xie Lingyu's expression was very steady, and he seemed extraordinarily sincere.

Zhonglu's face was as sinking as water, making it impossible to see his happiness or anger.

Everyone didn't dare to show their anger, and the atmosphere gradually became tense. At this moment, Chong Lu suddenly laughed loudly.

"Okay, okay!" Long Xin was overjoyed, and everyone naturally smiled.

But the words of the next heavy killing made them change their faces.

"Xie Lingyu, you don't want to award a reward, but I still want to give it to you."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, Xie Lingyu accepts the order!"

Everyone couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and they were thinking about it in a daze.

"I passed on my oral order, Prime Minister Xie taught his son well, he is the home of a virtuous minister, and he is specially appointed Marquis of An Xian, do you have any objections?"

Chong Lu still smiled lightly, his tone seemed to be saying something ordinary, but this sentence was like a stone falling into the blue waves, and the hall was suddenly in an uproar.

Xie Lingyu also raised his eyes slightly. He knew that Zhonglu wanted to win over Xie's family, but he really didn't expect him to play so big.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Cheng's eyes were about to split open, and he suddenly raised his head to look directly at Sheng Yan.

Chong Lu glanced at him indifferently, "What does Lin Aiqing mean?"

Lin Cheng was still muttering, and then he spoke again, "The kings of all dynasties have done this. Xie Cheng has a high position and authority. He has made great achievements over the years. When I first ascended the throne, it is thanks to Xie Chengxiang for worrying about me."

"What's wrong with General Lin?"

There was impatience in Chong Kill's tone, and he secretly sneered in his heart, it was more than success than failure.

If the child is useless, just discard it.

He looked at Lin Cheng's unbelievable eyes, and twitched the corners of his mouth with a sneer, did he really think that being connected by blood in the Emperor's House was a bargaining chip?

How much blood did he get on his hands and how many innocent people he killed in this position?

His favorite younger brother, the most respected elder brother...

There should have been room for maneuver in everything.

Chong Lu's expression was only in a trance for a moment, but in the blink of an eye he regained his dignified and majestic appearance. He looked at Lin Cheng with cold eyes.

Lin Cheng hurriedly lowered his head, with fine sweat dripping from his forehead, he said stiffly: "...Your Majesty is wise."

This sound was like a slap in the face, and it hit the hearts of everyone hard. After regaining their senses, they hurriedly shouted in unison, "Long live Your Majesty!"

Xie Lingyu and Prime Minister Xie took the order to thank you, and they sat down indifferently under the different eyes of everyone, but there was a smile on their lips. On the other hand, the Patriarch of the Lin family, who was still favored in Beijing yesterday, had an extremely ugly face, as if he was out of strength Go limp.

A companion is like a tiger, the Lin family has been arrogant for so many years, this sudden loss of power actually makes people feel a bit sad.

The palace banquet is over.

Xie Lingyu supported Meng Yi, who was slightly drunk, and was pushing him onto the carriage with great effort, but a certain drunk made a fuss and almost fell himself. Fortunately, Sun Qian quickly gave him a hand.

Sun Qianchong twitched the corners of his mouth as if he was smiling, "Brother Xie, congratulations."

Xie Lingyu shook his head, there were people all around, so he didn't want to say much, he just said: "Brother Sun, don't make fun of me, come to Xie's house for a small gathering sometime, let's have a few drinks together."

Sun Qian responded readily, "Definitely."

The wheels of the car rolled on the ground, making a slight sound, the night was quiet, Prime Minister Xie closed his eyes and rested his mind, Meng Yi had already fallen asleep, this guy can't drink, but he still likes to show off.

Xie Lingyu smiled helplessly, turned his head slightly, and quietly looked at the familiar figure in the gap of the wind in the blurry night.

Unlike the previous tall and straight, Qingqiu Jue deliberately changed the slowness of his steps, his back was slightly down, not hunched, he looked like an ordinary servant, just such a slight change, turned a handsome young man into a A mediocre boy.

It looks simple, but Xie Lingyu knows the difficulty behind it. He seems to have a thorn in his heart, and he becomes more and more curious about Qingqiu Jue's past. As soon as his thoughts sink, he suddenly wakes up. The curtain, the heartbeat is a little messy.

At this moment, Prime Minister Xie opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, "Xiaoyu..."

Xie Lingyu hurriedly turned his head to look, the hairs on his back stood up in fright, "Father."

Prime Minister Xie looked at his son carefully, his immature brows and eyes had retreated, and they were calm and gentle, very similar to him when he was young. Looking at him like this, the words he originally wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and turned into a soft sigh for a long time.

Prime Minister Xie recalled when he was young, with a smile in his eyes, how many things he did that no one else dared to do, how many catastrophes he caused, and how many times he almost died, but now he is sitting comfortably.

If you want to ask if you regret it, there are still two sonorous words-never.

Xie Lingyu was terrified, but his face remained calm. His father's gaze made him feel that his father had noticed something. His father clearly didn't say anything, but he felt as if he had said everything.

"Rest earlier." Prime Minister Xie shook his head, and tapped his fingers on the wall of the carriage twice.

Xie Lingyu raised his head in astonishment, and looked at the indifferent Prime Minister Xie, "Father..."

The carriage stopped slowly, interrupting Xie Lingyu's words, and Prime Minister Xie didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, and got out of the carriage with his hands behind his back.

Prime Minister Xie walked unsteadily, and entered the door of Xie's mansion after a while.

Xie Lingyu looked at the place where his father's fingers had tapped, and suddenly laughed. At that moment, he was so blessed that he understood his father's intentions.

This can be regarded as an unwritten agreement between his father and him when he was young. It originated from the fact that when he wanted to practice martial arts, his father told him that he could just be proficient in civil and martial arts. This was the first time he was sullen with his father. No dinner.

Dizzy from hunger at night, she heard two noises, Xie Lingyu smelled the fragrance, opened the door suspiciously and looked around, but there was no one at the door, only two things were placed.

One is a food box, and the other is his saber.

This is the tacit understanding of the father and son, and it is the silent compromise of the father.

Qingqiu Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at Prime Minister Xie's leaving back, then silently glanced at Xie Lingyu who was smirking inside.

Xie Lingyu raised his eyes to look at him, smiling alluringly.
