After the failed assassination of the powerful minister

One month later, the news of Shuo Mo spread to Shangjing, all the ministers in the council hall were serious and listened to the news from Shuo Mo.

The one who sent the news was following Cen Xian to Jinyiwei in Shuomo. Mei Yichen took the letter he handed over, read it at a glance, his face turned pale instantly, and then handed the letter to Wei Chen.

After watching it, Wei Chen only felt that his eyes were darkened, and he wished he could go directly to Shuo Mo and catch the crazy Cen Xian back.

The Empress Dowager sat in the upper position, and seeing the pale and white complexions of the two people, especially Wei Chen, couldn't help asking, "How about Shuo Mo? Did Turkic make some excessive demands?"

Mei Yichen said: "The Turks want the Great Wei to offer 30 taels of silver and [-] bolts of silk cloth, and make a covenant with them. They will return Xuan and the two eastern prefectures, and divide the border with Liaoguan..."

Hearing this, it was considered reasonable, and all the ministers even lamented that this requirement was not as harsh as in previous decades, but Mei Yichen's next words made everyone not calm.

"Besides... Turkic also asked the Great Wei to marry Qin and Jin. What he asked was Cen Xian, the Commander of Jinyiwei. If he could marry him, he would make an alliance with the Great Wei and not violate the border for 30 years..."

"The commander...responsible..."

The expression on the Empress Dowager's face froze, and the ministers were also shocked.

"Absurd!!" Wei Chen said, shaking his sleeves, "It's too much to deceive people! There's no reason for that! And the Commander! Who allowed him to accept the marriage contract without permission!"

"The commander is also thinking about Wei," Cao Yong said in an old-fashioned voice, his excitement hard to hide, "this is righteousness!"

Wei Chen was almost overwhelmed by Cao Yong's words.

What nonsense!If Cen Xian marries to the Turkic side, Jin Yiwei is bound to be defeated by the Shenjiying. Cao Yong, a villain, will be successful, and he will control the government by then, so there will be no imperial power to speak of!

The empress dowager above also had tears in her eyes. She squeezed her palms, squeezed out tears, and said: "The commander is indeed the humerus of the country!"

"This is a good marriage." A soft voice came from the door of the meeting hall, Wei Changle leaned against the door and said with a smile, "If the Commander marries Turkic Khan, he will be worthy of Princess Jingning's sister. "

Princess Jingning is the younger sister of the first emperor. She married the Turkic side very early and had a daughter named Zhaolan with the Turkic Khan.

"Jing Ning sent a letter two years after she got married," Wei Changle covered his face with a fan, "Turk Khan is a loving husband, and the commander Cheng Huan will surely not be wronged."

Jin Yiwei, who was kneeling on the ground, and Wei Chen, who was standing beside him, had twitching veins on their foreheads.

All the ministers looked at each other, and one person was pushed out, and he bit the bullet and asked Taihou above: "Empress Dowager, is this... to marry or not to marry?"

Wei Chen stabilized his figure and said angrily, "You can't marry!"

"Although it is about marriage, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words," Wei Changle said kindly, "but the commander is alone, so there is no need to observe these immodest etiquettes, besides, this marriage is between the commander and the sweat. , His Royal Highness King Jing, don’t beat the mandarin ducks with sticks.”

Wei Chen: "..."

Naturally, he was not as eloquent and eloquent as Cen Xian, but he couldn't speak up to the innocent eldest princess Wei Changle, so he could only look anxiously at the queen mother above.

The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, and said to the following ministers: "Those who agree to command the emissary to marry Turks, take a step forward."

After the words fell, a dozen or so ministers headed by Cao Yong took a step forward, while Wei Chen, Mei Yichen and a few other ministers stood still.

Wei Chen was so angry that he was dying.

The ministers who came to discuss the matter this time were almost all Cao Yong's people because of Cen Xian's departure and the turmoil in the government and the opposition.

"Since that's the case," Wei Changle said with a smile, "then order the Supervisor of Ceremonies to prepare the wedding dress, and the Supervisor of Heaven Qin will choose a good day and auspicious day, so let's get married as soon as possible."

With the final word, Wei Changle's voice fell, and Cao Yong knelt down and said: "I will obey the order, and I will definitely command the wind and scenery to marry Turkic!"

Wei Chen gritted his silver teeth, and the surrounding courtiers got up after kneeling and filed out. He stood where he was, with a gloomy face that dripped water.

Wei Changle smiled at him: "Nephew, your ally is unreliable."

Wei Chen managed to maintain his royal demeanor, brushed towards Wei Changle and the Queen Mother, then turned around and left with the kneeling Jin Yiwei.

"What's going on with your commanders?!" Wei Chen was dry-mouthed and on the verge of getting angry, "Why do you want to marry the Turkic king all of a sudden!"

"If you don't have enough money, just get it together! There's no reason to let the ministers of the brachii and thighs go to marry each other! Dawei's spine will have to be stabbed to death by the Turks!"

Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei's eyes turned red: "Commander...he...he wants to get back...the bones of the commander."

"Uh..." Wei Chen was silent for a moment, his hands were shaking violently, and he let go of Jin Yiwei's collar, "Ridiculous! Is he crazy..."

The Jin Yiwei was just silent.

Wei Chen rubbed his forehead and left without a word.

Wei Changle leaned against the fat stone fence of the imperial garden pond, looked at the lotus blooming on the surface of the water, and the koi floating under the lotus leaves, without saying a word.

When they were young, she and Liu Hui once went down to this pond to pick lotus seeds. The lotus seeds were very bitter. The late emperor Wei Yitao tasted them, and he couldn't stop pooing after a few mouthfuls. Here, Wei Yicheng supported her, holding a graceful pink lotus in one hand.

But now decades have passed, things have changed and people have changed, the flowers in the lotus pond are still in full bloom, and the koi are still swimming around, and Wei Changle is the only one standing beside the lotus pond.

A few days ago when Shuo Mo's battle report came, Wei Changle's heart was as hard as ice when he heard the news of Shuo Wang's death.

Her only child, connected with Jingxin, was also the child of Wei Yicheng and Liu Hui, and it just disappeared, coming naked, going naked, never coming back.

Are you sad?It seems to be a little bit, after all, it was born in October.But it's only a little bit... Her heart of being lingering by the royal family had already died at the moment when Prince Zhao's Mansion was destroyed.

It was indeed she who gave the armor back then, because the late emperor could not find the real imperial decree, and he was afraid that the imperial decree had already been delivered to Wei Yicheng as some people said.

King Zhao has always been jealous of evil, if he knew that the first emperor did not hesitate to kill the Taizu in order to be superior, and he had a real imperial decree to pass on the throne, he would not tolerate this matter.

Therefore, the first emperor wanted to act first, to plant and frame him, and to accuse him of crimes.

He found Wei Changle and asked Wei Changle to give the armor to King Zhao.

How did brother Huang tell me?Wei Changle thought about it.

"It's just a crime, and you have to suffer a little with sincerity. Which emperor is willing to lose military power and someone who has made great achievements? I won't kill him and the princess. I will let Jin Yiwei mix medicine to make them lose their memory," Wei Yitao sincerely Said, "Send them to live in seclusion at that time, worry-free, help me."

It's ridiculous that she believed it then!

The armor was delivered, King Zhao was killed, and all the houses of King Zhao's house were ransacked. Wei Changle remembered asking Wei Yitao why he did this!But only one sentence... Tianjia is ruthless.

The breeze is coming, the flowers and leaves are moving slightly, the fragrance is far away and clearer, a koi jumped up, and the water drops fell on the blue lotus leaves.

Wei Changle's gaze moved slightly and landed on the lotus in front of him.

Ling Yun stood beside her, looked down at her, and said, "Do you want lotus, master?"

Wei Changle smiled: "The lotus leaves the mud without being stained, but this palace is just the opposite. It's better to see it from a distance."

"Little Lingyun'er, why haven't you left yet?" Wei Changle turned to look at him, "I told you I'm in the imperial prison and I won't see you again."

Ling Yun pursed his lips, and said softly: "This subordinate's injuries are not fully healed yet."

Not a clever excuse, Wei Changle patted Ling Yun's face with his fan bone, and said softly, "Then let's keep you for a few more days."

After Yu Bi, the two headed towards the study not far from the imperial garden.

In the palace study, Wei Mingwen also got the news that Cen Xian was about to make peace with Turkic.

The little emperor frowned, thinking about what to do now, when suddenly he saw the eldest princess bringing someone in.

Wei Mingwen changed into a demented look in an instant, and reached out to touch the crickets on the desk.

Wei Changle just came to the study on a whim, and seeing the little emperor playing in it, he felt a little bored, and when he was about to turn to leave, his eyes glanced over the bookshelf inadvertently, and then he paused.

On the bookshelf, why is the porcelain bottle that the emperor loved disappeared?

"Where's the porcelain vase on the bookshelf?" Wei Changle paused for a moment, then cast a glance at the maid in charge serving Wei Mingwen.

Wei Mingwen shook his hand.

The maid in charge said respectfully: "Returning to the eldest princess, His Majesty wanted the paperweight on the bookshelf a few days ago and accidentally broke it."

Broken?

Wei Changle frowned: "Can it be repaired?"

After all, it was something my father loved, so it would be a pity to break it.

The lady in charge said: "Returning to the eldest princess, it can't be repaired. The porcelain vase was extremely heavy when it was intact. I thought the porcelain vase was solid, but I didn't expect that there were copper coins in it. Once it was broken, it shattered all over the place. The pieces are too small to be repaired." gone."

"Not solid?" Wei Changle's eyes narrowed.

She took a condescending glance at the little emperor, saw that the latter was busy biting the paperweight, then turned to the maid in charge, "When did you break it?"

The maid in charge answered truthfully, and Wei Changle suddenly remembered that he happened to meet the little emperor in the imperial garden that day. The little emperor ran in a hurry and even fell, saying that he was going to fly a kite, but in the end he went back to the palace.

Wei Changle suddenly became cheerful, as if peeling off the cocoon.

The things that Taizu loved were placed in the imperial study room, and they were never removed... I thought it was solid... In fact, there was a porcelain vase with copper coins in it. Wei Changle remembered that the bottle was a narrow-necked bottle, just big enough to hold it down...

A scroll.

Wei Mingwen's back was drenched in cold sweat, and he felt a dangerous gaze falling on him.

The maids and eunuchs in charge were waved away by Wei Changle, and the eldest princess walked up to Wei Mingwen step by step, and held Wei Mingwen's hand.

It's all cold sweat.

Wei Changle suddenly smiled: "So Your Majesty is not stupid."

"Among the children Wei Yitao gave birth to," Wei Changle squatted down, and looked at the panicked Wei Mingwen, "there is still a smart one who knows how to hide his strength and bide his time, and sit back and watch the tigers fight."

Wei Mingwen was dripping with cold sweat.

Wei Changle can easily crush him to death now.

The eldest princess said to Ling Yun behind her: "Send someone to search the emperor's bedroom, don't let any one go!"

Ling Yun leaned over in response, turned his head and left, and came back with a scroll within an hour.

"I found it in a hidden compartment." Ling Yun knelt on one knee and presented the bright yellow scroll.

Just when Wei Changle was about to take the imperial decree, Wei Mingwen rushed over with all his strength, grabbed the imperial decree and tore it hard!Before tearing a corner, he was kicked to the ground, clutching his stomach and moaning in pain.

Wei Changle took the imperial decree back into his hand with a cold face, glanced at it, and froze all over.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ling Yun was about to ask, but Wei Changle had already started laughing.

"Ha...so that's the case, hahahaha!" Wei Changle laughed maniacally, and threw the imperial decree aside, "so that's the case, hahaha! Wei Yitao..."

She actually burst into tears laughing, crying with a smile, crying and laughing, both Ling Yun and Wei Mingwen were frightened by her crazy appearance.

Wei Mingwen scrambled and scrambled, taking advantage of Ling Yun's inattention, he pulled the imperial decree back, glanced at it, and was also stunned.

I saw that the imperial decree wrote——

"The third prince, Wei Yitao, has both ability and political integrity. He was established as the crown prince and inherited the throne. The sixth prince, Wei Yicheng, is sincere and intelligent. He is named Prince Zhao and assists the prince."
