I was Idle and Cool

Seeing Eunuch Chuanzhi's expression, Lu Jinxi knew that things were not so easy.

After finishing her makeup, she followed the **** into the palace.

Originally, she thought that this time was the same as the last palace banquet, but when the **** led the way, she actually led her directly towards the Taiji Hall, which surprised her.

The **** only explained: "The adults are all discussing matters in the DPRK, and it is announced that you have something to ask."

Something to ask.

That should be the thing about the bandits.

Before stepping into the Golden Palace, she thought about all the things before and after herself, and asked herself that there was no wrong plot, no collusion with the bandits, and no guilty conscience, and she simply walked in frankly.

"The minister's wife, Mrs. Lu, long live my emperor."

Without squinting or even looking at the people around him, Lu Jinxi bowed his head and stood at the bottom of the center of the main hall, then bowed and bowed in a calm voice.

"Flat body."

The voice of Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che resounded from above her head, echoing in this slightly spacious and solemn hall, with a taste that came from the Nine Heavens.

Lu Jinxi got up according to her words, and only then did she have the opportunity to quickly look at the hall.

As the most important place for the daily affairs of the court, this hall is naturally resplendent, and the golden bricks on the ground are dark and can reflect the shadow of people.

The four corners are covered with gold coiled dragon pillars, which are extremely majestic.

Civil and military officials are divided into four columns, standing on both sides.

At a glance, it is neat and solemn.

When the imperial master Gu Chengqian, the master Wei Bingqian, as well as Lu's father Lu Jiuling, as well as the nine-door admiral, the infantry commander Liu Jin, Fang Shaoxing, who was promoted to the third-rank cavalry leader a while ago, and...

Gu Juefei.

Now out of the Hanlin Academy, he works in the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the newly established Lifan Hall, and is the head of the Lifan Hall.

He was wearing an azurite white pheasant suit, but he was standing very forward.

It looks like it just happened.

Hearing Lu Jinxi entering the hall, he didn't even look back, he just stood there watching his nose and his heart, as if he didn't know her, and he was very close to those who had no outside rumors about her.

Xiao Che, who was on the dragon chair, glanced down, without talking nonsense, and said directly: "This time Mrs. Xuan's audience is because of the bandits that Mrs. encountered some time ago, and the DPRK has carried out various investigations on this matter. There are just a few things, I still need to focus on asking Mrs. Zhou, come on."

"Yes."

Among the civil servants in the left column, one person immediately responded.

Zhou Shaoqun, the minister of Dali Temple, was over fifty years old, but he was in good spirits.

This time, the matter is being investigated by him.

At this moment, he directly bowed to Lu Jinxi, and then asked: "I have seen my wife, Zhou Shaoqun, the next official, is responsible for investigating the murder case of the Huns negotiating peace mission. Although I have already sent people to the house to record all kinds of things. Confessions, but there are still a few details to ask the madam in court today."

"Please speak."

Lu Jinxi was also polite, not stage fright at all, but asked him to ask questions.

In fact, these days, you can ask almost everything you can ask.

Many of the questions Zhou Shaoqun is asking now have already been answered by Lu Jinxi, and there is nothing that needs careful consideration.

It's just that she gradually realized the direction of the problem, which seemed a little strange.

"Ma'am, are you sure that after you kidnapped the mountain bandits, you have heard this group of people speak the Xiongnu language and mentioned the three words 'Lord Lan'?"

Zhou Shaoqun's expression became serious, and he asked seriously.

Lu Jinxi said: "I'm not sure if it is the Xiongnu language, but it is definitely not the Chinese language from my Central Plains, at least it is used by foreigners. I have heard the words 'Lord Lan' with my own ears, and there is no falsehood."

The court went up and down, and suddenly it was quiet.

The question that Zhou Shaoqun was about to ask was almost the same, but after the last question was answered affirmatively by Lu Jinxi, the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down.

"There's nothing wrong with the subordinate..."

Sitting high in the hall, Xiao Che was wearing a black dragon robe and twelve imperial crowns on his head.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Xiao Che sneered and called his name: "Master Zhou?"

Zhou Shaoqun shuddered, and hurriedly bowed: "If the words of the general's wife are true, then the origins of this group of mountain bandits must hide a great conspiracy, and they are bound to collude with the Xiongnu. It's just that the ministers are stupid. I really don't know how they would commit such a **** murder under the premise that the Xiongnu had already negotiated peace with our country. And the death of Huyanqi is quite suspicious."

It's all nonsense!

What's the difference between that and no?

Xiao Che's eyes became icy cold, and he glanced around the circle below. When everyone touched his eyes, they couldn't help but bow their heads, as if they were afraid of being pointed out by him to express their opinions.

"Don't you have a lot of ability to participate on weekdays? Everyone is humble now, how much ability do you think you have!"

The sarcasm in the words is not concealed at all.

Xiao Che is the emperor himself, so why should he leave any face to this group of ministers?

In the end, his gaze fell back on Gu Juefei's body, and his tone softened a little. He pressed his anger and asked, "What does Gu Aiqing think?"

Gu Juefei stepped out of the queue without haste, bowed first, and then opened his mouth slowly: "I have some ideas."

All eyes fell on him immediately.

That feeling is not like the stars holding the moon, but it is like a thorn in the eyes of everyone, except for the emperor, no one wants to see him.

This situation is rare in Gu Juefei.

Of course, Lu Jinxi noticed the change in the atmosphere in the courtroom, and after a little pondering, he came back to it: the courtroom doesn't need Jiangnan Shilin, and the so-called "everyone who knows him is his friend" is here. Impossible to do at all.

Even if Gu Juefei is capable of reaching the sky, it is impossible to make friends with everyone.

Because of the different positions.

In Jiangnan Shilin, they are all literati, and there is no objective conflict of interest. Therefore, with Gu Juefei's ability, it is a simple matter to make most people his friends.

But here we are...

She just remembered what he said before, that a man can do something and not do something.

At this moment, Gu Juefei has obviously changed his previous behavior, and the edge that was deeply hidden in his temperament has been revealed.

Brilliant, stunning.

People admire him, envy him, even hate him, but at the same time they can do nothing for him.

Like this moment.

Not looking at those eyes that fell on him that were sharper than the tip of a needle, Gu Juefei calmly made his own careful speculation.

And the first sentence made all the ministers stunned.

"My minister thought that the accident in the mission was not caused by me, Da Xia, and was actually a disaster for the Xiongnu royal court!"

The Hun court?

Although Lu Jinxi's previous answers convinced them that the mountain bandits had something to do with the Xiongnu, Lu Jinxi was the one who robbed the mountain bandits, and Huyanqi was the one who had the connection with the Xiongnu mission. The mountain bandits did it, how could they contact Wang Ting?

Many people thought he was talking nonsense.

Xiao Che, who was sitting above, didn't seem to have thought that he would actually make such a shocking speculation, and his brows suddenly tightened, and he said, "You continue."

Gu Juefei then continued: "First, the Hun embassy was killed, and no one except Huyanqi escaped. This proves that Huyanqi must have a relationship with this gang of people. Soon after, the general's wife, as the general's widow wife, He was robbed by the mysterious mountain bandits with suspicious behavior, but Huyanqi appeared in this group of mountain bandits, and according to his wife, these mountain bandits were afraid that they had been on the battlefield. In other words, the murderer who killed the Hun envoy It is very likely that the murderer who robbed the general's wife is the same group of people."

This conjecture is reasonable.

Everyone has no opinion.

Lu Jinxi was also curious about how Gu Juefei analyzed this matter, so he watched his silhouette standing in front of him and listened quietly.

"The emperor and your colleagues may not know something. Now this Huyanqi is in the Xiongnu, and he is a darling and old man standing in front of Princess Lanqu, the pearl in the palm of his hand, and he is quite trusted by Princess Lanqu. This is the staff of the third prince Yi Xian."

When he said this, Gu Juefei had already smiled slightly.

"Prince Ixian is in charge of the battle, Princess Lanqu is in charge of peace, and the **** case of the mission was not provoked by me, Da Xia, but someone on the Xiongnu side is conspiring."

This Huyanqi was inconspicuous in the past.

What he is and what his past is, everyone is not very clear. But there are always some who have heard of it, not to mention that Gu Juefei said it so firmly, he must have come prepared, and what he said was true.

Everyone listened, and they all vaguely understood the key.

Who can stand in the courtroom is not a human being?

It can even be said that every conspiracy and intrigue in the Xiongnu royal court has appeared in this Great Xia court.

Without exception!

Gu Juefei has been injured for half a month, but he can move freely, but he can't stand it for a long time in this court.

There was a slight sweat on his forehead and his face was pale.

At this time, he made a long story short: "The current situation of the Xiongnu royal court should be clear to the emperor and his colleagues. The princes are incompetent, but Princess Lanqu is more daring and has the demeanor of an old man than when he was young, so he won the old man. Shanyu likes it, and it can be said that there is a lot of responses in the royal court. Prince Ixian and others are all suppressed by it, and they have been unconvinced for a long time. If the peace negotiation can be disrupted and the war between the two countries can be provoked again, Princess Lanqu, a female class, will not be able to compete with them. Therefore, this **** case is very likely to be affected by the infighting in the court of the Huns."

"Makes sense..."

"Really."

"But there is something wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, the answer he gave made sense, causing all the officials around him to whisper, only a few high-ranking old foxes said nothing.

Fang Shao has made great achievements in suppressing bandits. He got rid of the abusive position of Jin Wuwei when he came back, and now he has changed into a court uniform and stood in the column of military attaches.

When Gu Juefei spoke in front of him, he didn't respond.

But after listening to all the analysis, he frowned quietly.

Gu Juefei's starting point for all these speculations was Huyanqi's body. It can be said that there is nothing wrong with it whether it is love or reason.

But the problem is...

This Huyanqi is clearly a little strange.

Others don't know, but Fang Shaoxing is 10,000.

At that time, Gu Juefei entrusted him with the task of outflanking Yanchi Mountain, so he judged the terrain and launched a surprise attack, caught the opponent by surprise, and almost killed them all.

But this does not include Huyanqi.

This little old man was a civil servant, and he could not lift his shoulders or lift his hands. When his men caught him, they were not in the front mountain where the battle was fierce, but in the house behind the mountain.

People shrink into a ball, cowardly.

At that time, the army was in chaos, and Fang Shaoxing didn't take this man seriously, and only had him **** and thrown aside to deal with it later.

But who would have thought?

At the end of the war in Qianshan, when he returned to the dilapidated house occupied by a group of "mountain bandits", the people below came to report that Huyanqi was dead.

He rushed over to check, and saw that the man was lying in the corner of the dilapidated courtyard with an arrow in the neck, and he was out of breath.

A person who has been **** before, and his body is not strong enough, how can he break free from the **** and run out?

And so strangely died in the corner.

Fang Shaoxing immediately asked the group of officers and soldiers, but no one admitted that it was his own hands.

In the end, it can only be considered that someone accidentally killed someone, and because Huyanqi was an envoy of the Xiongnu, the matter was huge, so no one dared to recognize it.

or……

It was the few who escaped from the group of mountain bandits, who went back and forth, fearing that Huyanqi would say something, so they killed him.

It can be said that this is just a small role, if you die, you will die, and it is no big deal.

Fang Shaoxing liked to lead troops to fight, and didn't want to spend his mind on these people, so he didn't think deeply after returning to the capital.

However, at this moment, Gu Juefei's inference...

He couldn't tell where the vague feeling that was not quite right came from, but in the back of his mind, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared: On Yanchi Mountain at that time, except for the officers and soldiers he led and the mountain that escaped Besides the bandits, who else has the ability to attack Huyanqi?

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Fang Shaoxing stared at Gu Juefei's eyes in front of him, and suddenly became a little dark and unclear.

Does he remember-

The secret guards of the Grand Master's Mansion are all good players.

If you don't care about motives and simply talk about hands-on ability, it is possible for officers and soldiers to escape, it is possible for the bandits to escape, and of course the secret guards brought by Gu Juefei are also possible.

only……

In the bottom of my heart, Fang Shaoxing finally stopped the thought.

After all, what kind of relationship can a Huyanqi have with Gu Juefei? What's more, he has already recognized Gu Juefei's friend, let alone a Huyanqi, even if he killed ten of them, he would not be able to identify them.

Fang Shaoxing has never been a normal person, and he has no normal people's view of right and wrong. He does everything by himself.

So he kept silent.

His eyes wandered around among the officials, and he adjusted his mind, so that he could "watch the play" in his leisure time.

As for the specific truth about Huyanqi, only Gu Juefei, who is now full of lies, knows it.

He neither shakes out his deepest guess nor involves himself in it.

From start to finish, it was someone else's business, so he left it clean.

Obviously, in this court, no one has the ability to expose his lies.

Xiao Che is even more impossible.

He trusted Gu Juefei the most, and after listening to this analysis, he felt reasonable, and only asked, "According to Aiqing's opinion, what should we do next?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the Daxia Xiongnu have been fighting hard for a long time, and now Daxia's national strength has recovered a little, but the Xiongnu is completely the opposite. Even if the envoys of peace talks are killed in my Daxia territory, I think they will not be able to start a war for the time being."

Gu Juefei was still calm and composed, and he didn't even regard the trouble in front of him as trouble.

When he opened his mouth to make up such a conjecture that could convince everyone, he was already sure that this conjecture would also be convinced by the Xiongnu royal court.

The smile on his lips deepened, and the coldness in Gu Juefei's eyes permeated quietly, but it was hidden in that humble and elegant gesture.

"In my humble opinion, I will tell you the truth, and then show my favor to Princess Lanqu. If I can balance the power in the Xiongnu royal court and make their struggles internalize, then I can rest easy in Daxia."

Since ancient times, the siege of the city is the bottom, and the heart is the top.

Gu Juefei is undoubtedly the best among them.

As soon as Lu Jinxi heard this, he already took a deep breath in his heart, secretly thinking that Gu Juefei's few words could be called murder without blood!

Princess Lanqu was originally a princess, and generally had absolutely no qualifications to inherit the throne.

But once Da Xia secretly supports her and balances the power of her and the other princes, one can maintain the basic situation of the Huns' peace faction on the other side, and the other can make the internal division of the Huns, and even take the initiative to win the support of Da Xia, where else? Can you separate your mind to start a war?

It's not poisonous!

But if this one can be accomplished, it would be a good thing for the people of the Great Xia and Xiongnu countries.

At this time, Lu Jinxi felt uneasy.

She looked at Gu Juefei's back from the back, the fifth-rank white pheasant civil officer made up his uniform. Although it looked a little simple, at this moment, it was completely unable to cover the dazzling brilliance from him.

He is ambitious and talented.

The court and the opposition, after thinking for a while, also felt the feasibility of this strategy. Although I felt that Gu Juefei's playfulness was too scary in my heart, they all agreed on the face.

Xiao Che breathed a sigh of relief.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "In this case, this matter is still under the jurisdiction of Lifan Hall, and it is still handled by Aiqing."

"The minister obeys the order."

Gu Jue was neither happy nor angry, he bowed and bowed, which was regarded as taking over this tricky errand.

He said it was simple, but how could it be so easy to do? There are many twists and turns inside. Therefore, most people have no objection to him taking over the matter.

only……

After all, it's the majority of people.

Before Gu Juefei got up, a contemptuous sneer was heard from the side, and then a civil servant in a golden pheasant suit appeared on the left.

The person bowed to Xiao Che and said directly: "Chen Zhao Xian has this book!"

Choose to speak at this time?

The hearts of the ministers in the DPRK jumped abruptly, knowing that something big was about to happen: This is Zhao Xian!

When the second rank of the dynasty, supervise the censor!

As the saying goes, when the censor does not open his mouth, he opens his mouth and pours a piece.

As long as the censor, whether it is on the tongue or on the pen, it is not a good thing! Not to mention that Zhao Xian has always been upright.

Now that he spoke, he guessed that he was going to target Gu Juefei.

Sure enough, before Xiao Che could respond, Zhao Xian had a cold face and said coldly, "I want to impeach the head of the Lifan Hall of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Juefei!"
