Unlike Lu Yuehan who went to "marry" before, Qu Changlu has a lot of value in him. His own talent is one aspect, and his role to Nan Rong is another aspect, which needs to be weighed.

Of course, it would be better if they could be played out.

Emperor Longyu looked at him with no expression of joy or anger, put the book aside, and said calmly: "You? If you are detained by Nan Rong, the imperial court will not send troops to rescue you, or agree to any conditions of the other party. .”

Qu Chang negative bowed slightly: "Yes. I must put the overall situation first. If I can't return to my homeland, I will thank my country with my death, so as not to embarrass my family and country."

Everything in the courtroom today can be said to be him? A play with the emperor, the purpose is to prove to others? It was Qu Changlu who invited him to be an envoy?

Even if he was humiliated in Nanrong and wanted to commit suicide to maintain the dignity of the country, no one would ever know what his real purpose and sacrifice was when he went this time.

This sounds very unfair, but the imperial power is irresistible.

But for Qu Changshou, even if he had to cooperate with the performance, he still had to make the best use of the scene.

For such a decision, the emperor naturally had to hesitate symbolically. Before the early court disbanded, the court discussion failed to produce a result, so he left behind a few important princes and ministers to go to the Palace of Political Affairs together.

Qu Changying is also among them.

After entering the hall, Emperor Longyu handed their memorials to other people for circulation.

Up to now, Qu Changlu has not kept it hidden anymore. Inside, he has analyzed in detail the major forces in Nanrong, the tempers of the princes and the current situation, and proposed relative strategies against them one by one.

They have put in a lot of effort in Nanrong in their previous lives, and other people have no way of knowing what they are talking about now.

Some of the passers-by were amazed, others praised, but Qi Hui and Song Mingfeng, who were unwilling to let Qu Chang take the risk, really didn't look good?

Especially Song Mingfeng.When he received the battle report yesterday, the first thing he did was send someone to Qu's house to reassure Qu Changlu, in order not to let Qu Changlu pay too much attention to this matter and take any action.

Unexpectedly, the kid sounded very obedient when he answered. He kept silent? He gave it to him? He made a big deal out of it.

Song Mingfeng never imagined that Qu Changlu would take the initiative to ask to go to Nanrong. He heard him in the early court just now? He almost died of anger when he took the initiative to submit the paper. Now the more he read the memorial, the more impatient he was, he almost forgot to hand it to him. next person.

Minister of the Ministry of War stood beside them, looked at Song Mingfeng's livid face, and silently took his hand back.

Song Mingfeng barely suppressed his temper in front of the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with what Qu Yushi wrote in the memorial, but I think the candidate for the envoy still needs to be discussed."

"Qu Yushi's qualifications are still young, it would be more convenient for me to go to Nanrong as the son of the Grand Master of the Song Dynasty and follow the plan in the memorial."

What he said makes sense, but it's a pity that Nanrong Maharaja doesn't want him?

Qi Zhan smiled and said: "Sir Song's love for his nephew is very touching, but this mission is not about fighting and killing. As a military officer, you are probably inexperienced in this area. Even if... With a strategy, how can we adapt to the situation? I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Song Mingfeng said: "Then King Wei asked himself to be an envoy just now, so you must go?"

Just as Qi Zhan mocked the military officer, he was blocked by a sentence from the military officer, and suddenly fell silent.

Song Mingfeng said again: "Prime Minister Qu, you? You are Qu Yushi's biological father. Don't you have any thoughts on this matter?"

They were really impatient, and even said these words in front of the imperial court.

Qu Xiao said: "Lord Song, it is his duty to serve the country, how can I stop it?"

Song Mingfeng almost lost his composure, and said angrily, "You?..."

Qu Zhang is blind? Seeing Song Mingfeng like this, he stopped him in time: "Master Song, this matter is voluntary, please stop talking about it."

Qi Hui stood by, looking at the scene in front of him with a gloomy expression.

He? Although there are many things that he doesn't know yet, but seeing? He can vaguely guess that it must be that Qi Zhan learned from somewhere that the person Nanrong is looking for is Qu Changnegative, and he has been thinking hard about it. To get him to die.

If Qu Changlu is not willing, he has a hundred ways to solve this matter, but he was born at this time, I don't know if he thought it was intentional, something happened to Grand Master Song again.

Then even if it was for the Song family, Qu Changlu must go.

What to do now?

Qi Hui made quick calculations in his mind, and the emperor on the other side had already made a final decision.

"Stop arguing. Since Qu Aiqing has such a heart to serve you, let's make this decision."

Emperor Longyu pondered and said: "I will confer on you the title of Marquis and send a team of elite guards to accompany you. The deputy envoy who will accompany you this time? Who do you want? You? Draw up a list, and I will consider it again. Everything can be guaranteed. Doing things is what matters. As for the others? What else do you need? Do you have anything to mention? Just say it."

The reason why they gave Qu Chang the title of Marquis at once was because of Qi Hui's words.

The other party mentioned that he would go to Nanrong as a prince to show his respect.It made sense for Emperor Longyu to think about it, so he generously granted Qu Changcheng the title.

After all, for a person who is about to go out to die, it is not a big deal to seal what rank.

And before that, Emperor Longyu didn't intend to give Mr. Qu too much power, and even the deputy envoy was used to supervise him, and the candidate had already been decided.

But now, they faintly felt that it might not be certain that Qu Changcheng would be able to accomplish this matter. It would be better to give them some convenience and let them go to the south as a veritable envoy. Rong.

As a person who always wondered about his father's thoughts, Qi Zhan immediately felt the change in Emperor Longyu's attitude, which made his heart sink.

Qi Zhan tried his best to make such a big move, the purpose was not to let Qu Chang negative go out for a circle and come back with a great achievement, but to make him completely go and never return.

Emperor Longyu's current attitude of full support makes them feel uneasy. The former deputy envoy has been confirmed to be their person, but now it seems that there has been a change.

Qi Hui and Qi Zhan have their own ideas, one is thinking about how to help Qu Changlu escape from danger, and the other is thinking about how to kill him in one go.

In the inexplicably oppressive atmosphere, everyone heard Qu Changcheng say, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to tell you while I'm here today."

Emperor Longyu said, "You? Tell me."

Qu Xiao suddenly had an ominous premonition, his eyes were like arrows, and he looked at his son suddenly.

Qu Chang negative said: "As an envoy to Nanrong, I voluntarily went there. But it was Qu Xiang and the king of Wei who facilitated this."

He paused for a while to let everyone digest the news: "These two colluded with each other and had another purpose. Although the minister is about to leave, but for the sake of the country and the court, he has to report to the higher authorities!"

Qi Zhan didn't expect him to wait here, and quickly shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just nonsense!"

Qu Chang said negatively: "Your Majesty, please allow someone to testify in the hall."

Emperor Longyu said: "Tell me."

Qu Changcheng gave a few orders in a soft voice, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, three people were brought up, namely Song Yan, Qu Xiao's entourage, and a servant who specially took care of Qu Changlu's study.

Qu Chang said: "A few days ago, I found that a handwritten note was missing in my study, and the content in it was just part of my experience about Nan Rong, so I didn't dare to discuss this matter. Neglect, then? Thoroughly searched the servants in the yard."

He pointed at the boy: "It turns out that the boy in charge of the study was bribed by Song Yan to take the book away."

What Qu Chang negative said was the truth, the only thing that blurred the truth was that this matter was done by Song Yan on his own initiative.

Neither Qi Zhan nor Qu Xiao knew about it at the time, and Song Yan later told Qi Zhan.

Everyone's eyes fell on Song Yan, and they could see him trembling.

Qu Chang said: "When I found out about this, Song Yan had already been arrested on suspicion of killing his own father, so I questioned him about the purpose of stealing this book. Only then did he know that he ? Conspired with the king of Wei, trying to make Nanrong maharaja think that I? Is the person he? is looking for, so as to achieve the purpose of killing people with a knife."

Qi Zhan said: "A bunch of nonsense..."

Qu Changcheng ignored it, and said lightly: "After I knew about this matter, I didn't want to make any noise at first. His Royal Highness King Wei had failed several times before and threatened him with words, but my loyalty is only to His Majesty, and I don't want to make any noise. Involved in these partisan troubles?, so refrained from speaking, until..."

He took a deep breath: "Until I found out that my father, Prime Minister Qu, was on the side of King Wei!"

"After the two had a secret conversation, he? Cooperated with King Wei's actions and coerced me to agree to go to Nanrong. The minister decided to report this matter, lest the family and country affairs become a tool to vent personal anger."

After Qu Chang negative finished speaking, he said to the three witnesses: "You? Please tell me what happened in detail. See? What I just said is not true."

These are false statements, half-truths, half-false.

For example, Qu Changlu didn't first find out that his book was missing, but asked Song Yan about Qu Xiao's intention to harm him, and after learning about his and Qi Zhan's conspiracy, he went to investigate and confirm it.

However, this little detail will not affect the overall course of the matter. After several witnesses tremblingly narrated the situation and verified Qu Changnegative's statement, the surrounding fell into silence for a while.

This fact is a bit out of the ordinary.

Qu Xiang, who has always been the representative of Qingliu's neutrality, would join forces with King Wei and go to such great lengths to cheat his own son together. What is he trying to do?

But Qu Chang negative's testimony and words are correct, and more importantly, everyone saw it in the early court, and it was indeed King Wei and Qu Xiang who wanted to facilitate Qu Chang negative's appearance. make?.

At that time, some people had doubts in their hearts, thinking that Prime Minister Qu was really willing to part with his own son, but now it just confirmed this idea again.

But Qu Changxiang concealed himself and didn't say anything. He only spoke out at this moment. What he wanted was exactly this effect.

Qu Xiao didn't expect that after so many years in the officialdom, he would be cheated by his son in the end.

It turned out that Qu Changshou still had a hidden trick, no wonder he was so obedient and cooperative last night.

It is a very outrageous thing for a son to sue his father. Qu Changshou openly accused his biological father in front of the emperor.

Before Qu Xiao could speak, University scholar Sun Xu already disagreed and said, "Qu Yushi, although the confession is here, but you? One of the most untenable things in this statement is why Prime Minister Qu Harmful to you? You are father and son, you were brought up by him, how can you even be so suspicious of your own father?"

Qu Chang said: "Scholar Sun University is right, but why should he be suspicious of his father? In fact, we should ask, what did my father do?"

Qu Xiao lowered his eyes, came out and bowed to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it is because I am not strict with my son, so that I brought my own private affairs to the imperial court. But as a father, there are indeed many incompetent things. Your Majesty, please forgive the dog's fault, and if you want to punish him, just punish the minister."

He turned his head and said to Qu Changcheng: "Lantai, since you were living outside when you were eleven or eleven years old, there has always been a gap between us father and son, and we have not been able to protect you? Zhouquan, it's me? This is what I do. Father's incompetence, and then I? I have always wanted to try my best to make up for you? If you?

When Qu Xiao said this, Emperor Longyu immediately remembered that he left the young Qu Zhang behind to save the sixth prince, which caused a estrangement between father and son.

And if Qu Changshou held a grudge against what happened at that time, which led to his accusation of his father today, would he also be dissatisfied with the royal family?

What Qu Xiao said was wonderful, and he immediately pulled the emperor to his side.

Qu Changling didn't flinch at all, and said, "Father clearly? Ming? Knows that I am not talking about this, but pretends to be puzzled. You saved the sixth prince, which is a manifestation of loyalty to the monarch. Chang Ling dare not be the slightest bitch." Resentment."

His tone turned cold: "But the father wanted to kill the son, and he used endless methods over and over again, but he forced him to a dead end, and that's why I had to do this!"

As soon as the word "Killer" came out, not only Qu Xiao was startled, but the others were also moved.

The king of Zhou couldn't help but said: "Qu Yushi, this prime minister wants you to go on an envoy to Nanrong, maybe he just wants you to establish achievements and honor your ancestors, at most it puts you in danger, but if you want to kill you on purpose, It’s not enough.”

Song Mingfeng blurted out a surprised question: "Lantai, you? What do you mean by that?"

The voices of the two were mixed together, Qu Chang negative just smiled faintly, and took out a piece of yellowed paper prescription.

"On this prescription is the tonic that I drank from the age of five to the age of seven. My mother got it from a medical clinic back then. Now that medical clinic has been confiscated and closed down because of being involved in a case of harboring fugitives , the doctor from that year is also missing.”

Qu Chang negative said: "It's been a long time, and my subordinates worked hard to find this transcribed prescription in the letter my father wrote to an imperial physician. Now that imperial physician has passed away? It’s been a long time, but I’m sure some people can see whether it’s a poison or a tonic on the prescription.”

The whole thing just keeps getting outrageous.

Qu Xiao and Qu Chang are currently able ministers in the court, and it has not been found out whether Qu Xiao and Qi Zhan colluded? Emperor Longyu also wanted to know the truth.

He ordered the prescription to be sent to the imperial hospital for appraisal. Initially, there were only a few young imperial physicians on duty, and no problem was found.

It was urgent to send several old doctors into the palace. After discussing for a while, it was confirmed that this prescription appeared to be a supplement, but in fact, long-term use would affect the elderly, children, and some weak people with congenital deficiencies. life.

Qu Changcheng asked Song Yan to repeat what he had said to them alone.

Song Yan was so quick at the beginning that he told Qu Changcheng this secret that had been buried in his heart for many years, but now his guts are turning blue with regret.

He? Originally, out of a bad mentality of harming others and benefiting himself, he wanted to see? See?

He? After being this witness, he really doesn't have to think about living anymore.

But in this situation, Song Yan was afraid that he would be tortured, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth, and could only repeat those words tremblingly, and everyone in the hall was shocked.

"Qu Xiao—"

Song Mingfeng's eyes were red, he rushed forward and grabbed Qu Xiao by the collar, and was about to beat him up with a punch: "Qu Xiao!!"

That soup, he? When Qu Changlu was young, he watched his nephew drink it countless times.

At that time, I heard from my younger sister that it was a good prescription that came from a lot of money. Everyone still had expectations in their hearts, hoping that after drinking the medicine, the child's illness would be cured, and the future life would be healthy and worry-free, without having to suffer any more. .

He? He didn't expect the truth to be so absurd and cruel, and he couldn't imagine what kind of mood Qu Changcheng would feel when he found out this matter by himself.

Qu Xiao was held by his brother-in-law, unable to break free at all, he shouted: "Master Song, please calm down, this is in front of the emperor!"

The people around were also taken aback, and they all went over to fight, and finally pulled Song Mingfeng away, trying to persuade him.

Qu Changcheng quickly walked over to hold him back, and said in a low voice, "Second Uncle, you have lost your composure, please apologize to Your Majesty!"

He originally didn't want the Song family to hear this, but he didn't have much time, so he could only seize this opportunity, and there was no room to hide what had happened.

Song Mingfeng took a deep look at Qu Changyin, and tears were already in his eyes.

Immediately, his face was filled with anger, he knelt down on the ground, raised his head and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's because I lost my dignity in front of the emperor. But, but this matter is too appalling!"

"Parents' love for their children is always deep and heavy? This is the nature of human relations. Qu Xiao... Prime Minister Qu has such a cruel hand on his parents and children! Qu Chang is not only the son of the Qu family, but also the younger sister of the minister? The only flesh and blood, and now it has suffered such a disaster, please Your Majesty be the master of the Song family!"

Song Mingfeng's voice trembled, and after he finished speaking, he kowtowed hard, and a large red mark appeared on his forehead.
