The Ugly Empress

Teng Yun was kept in the palace all day, Xue Junliang treated him very ambiguously, and even had a meal together, if Teng Yun hadn't realized it, he would have thought it was the old days, it turned out that Xue Junliang could be so gentle to everyone.

After the meal, Xue Junliang actually took him to the garden for a walk. When Teng Yun saw Qian Qiuye's small pavilion, he couldn't help his face changing color. He didn't know whether his face should be feverish or pale at this moment.

Teng Yun hadn't believed it before, even if Xue Junliang was great, but he couldn't believe it now, and being tripped up again and again by King Xue was really hard to guard against.

As the two of them were walking, they suddenly heard a faint cry, accompanied by strings and bamboos, like a mournful lament.

Xue Junliang frowned at Jiang Yu and said, "This is someone who cries in broad daylight."

Jiang Yu said: "This place is not far from Lenggong, I'm afraid it's Teng Qianyi."

Xue Junliang responded, and said with a smile, "Why don't we go and have a look?"

He said this but aimed at Teng Yun, as if he wanted to ask him what he meant.

Teng Yun said: "The humble minister is terrified. The humble minister is a foreign minister and cannot enter the harem."

Xue Junliang smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Teng Yun's hand. Teng Yun subconsciously took a wrong step, but he didn't dare to move again. Xue Junliang clung to his hand and said softly, "Why is it a foreign minister?"

Teng Yun couldn't get rid of him, he could only let him hold it, the two of them really seemed to have the same thing in the eyes of others.

Xue Junliang took Teng Yun to the Lenggong. Teng Qianyi was wearing a white Suluo skirt with tears on his face, as if he was crying, singing while crying, when he saw Xue Junliang coming in, he couldn't help showing joy on his face, and threw himself at his feet and said, : "Your Majesty... Are you finally willing to come and see Qian Yi, Your Majesty?"

Xue Junliang took a step back, and Jiang Yu quickly asked someone to pull Teng Qianyi away.

Teng Qianyi turned his head and saw Teng Yun on the side, and immediately changed his expression. He stretched out his hand to grab Teng Yun, and shouted: "It's him! Your Majesty, he set the fire. It's up to me, Your Majesty! It's Teng Yinggan!" Yes, this concubine is completely unaware of it!"

Before Teng Yun could dodge, Xue Junliang stretched out his hand to block it first, and said, "Bold, you actually called Teng Nanhou by his name?"

Teng Qianyi froze for a moment, then opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Your Majesty, you must have made a mistake. He is not Teng Nanhou, he is just a humble slave. If it wasn't for my concubine's pity for him, he would not even be a slave, but now he comes here Harm me, Your Majesty, I... I don't know!"

Teng Yun still didn't speak, Xue Junliang said with a smile: "Well...it's really Gu's mistake, because soon Teng Ying will marry into the palace and become Concubine Teng, you reminded me."

Teng Qianyi was stunned for a long time, then burst out laughing, pointing

Teng Yun shouted sharply: "You are not a man and a woman! You also like a woman to climb a man's bed? The scar on your face is so funny! Your Majesty looks at you and can only vomit! Bah! "

Xue Junliang glanced at her, then said, "Jiang Yu, let someone come over and slap your mouth."

Jiang Yu responded, and soon some maids came to applaud. The concubines in the cold palace are also concubines, and the guards cannot be allowed to come if men and women can't know what to do, but the strength of the maids doesn't have to be weak, and these maids usually serve in the cold palace. Qian Yi's breath is very loud.

Xue Junliang also asked someone to move a big chair, and asked Teng Yun to sit with him. Teng Yun knew that Xue Junliang had specially shown it to Teng Qianyi. Teng Yun had always been soft-hearted. Knowing that the intention of harming others is not allowed, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, Teng Yun still feels that he can't stand it.

Xue Junliang was leisurely, and while listening to the crisp sound, he said: "Teng Qianyi, do you know that Gu caught a fish that slipped through the net, it seems to be... called Lang Jing."

After he finished speaking, Teng Qianyi opened his eyes obviously, and looked this way.

"Lang Jing is a talented person, but he is a traitor after all. However, he has meritorious service in recommending him, so I can't kill him for the time being... Lang Jing can say that you instigated the arson."

Teng Qianyi was even more shocked, and shouted: "No...it's not me!"

"Oh?" Xue Junliang said with a slow smile, "Could it be that there is something else going on?"

Teng Qianyi nodded desperately, crying and said: "There is a secret! There is a secret! The concubine was used, and Lang Jing instigated me. I was confused for a while, and the concubine was just confused for a while... Your Majesty..."

Xue Junliang said: "You said it was Teng Ying just now, but now you say Lang Jing, it's hard for Gu to believe you, what should I do?"

Teng Qianyi cried: "I can confront Lang Jing! He instigated me, Your Majesty must trust me, he only set fire to Xue Yu when he betrayed him!"

Xue Junliang sneered in his heart, if Teng Qianyi confronted Lang Jing, he didn't know who would make the other faint, but what he was waiting for was this sentence, as long as someone could prove that Lang Jing was instigating, that would be enough.

When Xue Junliang achieved his goal, he took Teng Yun away and asked Teng Yun to go out of the palace. Lang Jing would go to persuade him to surrender at night. After Lang Jing persuaded him to surrender, he would talk to him about the arson.

Teng Yun returned to the mansion. Although he was mostly sitting in the palace and didn't walk a few steps, he was extremely tired. Standing with Xue Junliang, he had to be on guard when he plotted against you. still to be counted.

Lang Jing sent someone to send a message, and he didn't need anyone's help when talking, just keep the door of the house for him, don't let him come in and be arrested as an assassin.

Teng Yun then removed the guards at the gate of the mansion and told people to keep the gate open.

Lang Jing stayed in Zhennan Hou's mansion for a whole day, without taking a single step out, the guard brought food over, and Lang Jing brought it into the house and fed Xue Yu with his own hands.

Xue Yu was still looking crazy, he put the food on Lang Jing, and laughed "haha", clapping his hands as if he thought it was very interesting.

Finally, Lang Jing's eyes changed, and he seemed to reveal a rare sadness. He sighed and said, "Lang Jing knows that the Lord is angry, but the Lord thinks about it. If I didn't leave then, how can I save the Lord now?"

Xue Yu stared at Lang Jing and still smiled, but said, "Are you blaming me now?"

Lang Jing lowered his head, his voice returned to calm, and said: "Lang has received the great favor from the Lord, and dare not blame him."

Xue Yu fiddled with the empty bowl, and continued: "Lang Jing...don't tell me, you never thought of leaving and coming back after I have achieved this virtue, are you very proud?"

Lang Jing raised his head and stared at the other party, and said slowly: "Lang is thinking about leaving, after all, the Lord doesn't listen to my advice at all, but Lang has never thought of mocking the Lord, if the Lord thinks so , can only make people feel cold."

Xue Yu raised his head when he heard the sound, their eyes collided, Lang Jing looked at him, and the other's eyes turned red.

Lang Jing sighed again, and said: "I know the lord has suffered these days, you should rest well, Mr. Lang will go to Tengnanhou's mansion tonight, and the guards will leave tomorrow."

"You have to work for Xue Junliang!"

Lang Jing smiled wryly, and said: "The Lord did not force Lang to do things for him. I'm afraid that even if I do it for him, I will not escape death. I just hope that the Lord will think twice before acting."

He said, bowed before turning around and leaving.

Xue Yu struggled, he wanted to scold Lang Jing, but unfortunately he couldn't speak, what Lang Jing said seemed to be parting from life and death, which shocked him a little.

It happened to be Zishi when Lang Jing came to Tengnanhou's mansion, he didn't actually have the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, and he just wanted to make others feel unfathomable and convincing when he talked about astrology.

There was a gap in the door, and no one stopped him when he walked in. When Lang Jing came outside the house where Lu Shichen was under house arrest, the guards did not withdraw. This was what he expected, but no one stopped him, so he was allowed to go in.

Lu Shichen did not expect that someone would come over late at night. Since what happened to Zhao Tong last time, Lu Shichen dared not sleep. He was really afraid that someone would touch him at night and kill him. To be honest, he is a frail scholar, how could he not be afraid of death, but Lu Shichen felt that If you have no backbone, it is more terrifying than death.

he thinks

I have tried many times how Teng Nanhou would persuade him to surrender, but the past few days have been calm, and the so-called Lord Hou has almost never been here.

As soon as Lang Jing entered, Lu Shichen woke up. Lang Jing didn't go forward, but bowed his head.

Early the next morning, Teng Yun ordered someone to go over to see Lu Shichen, but when his servant came back, he panicked and said, "Master Lu has escaped!"

Teng Yun was stunned for a moment, and went over to take a look himself. Lang Jing was sitting at the table in Lu Shichen's clothes, drinking tea leisurely.

Teng Yun said: "Where is Mr. Lu?"

Lang Jing's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Let's go, I sent him a horse that is unparalleled in the world, and sent him out of the city. I'm afraid I can't catch up with him by now."

This matter was quickly reported to Xue Junliang, Xue Junliang was neither anxious nor angry, but asked someone to bring Lang Jing into the palace.

Lang Jing and Teng Yun entered the palace together, kowtowed to Xue Junliang, Xue Junliang said: "Lang Jing, do you know your crime?"

Lang Jing said: "The grassroots are not only innocent, but have merit."

"Really? Then use your iron mouth to talk to Gu."

As Xue Junliang said, he beckoned to Teng Yun, signaling Teng Yun to go over and sit beside him.

Lang Jing said: "Lu Shichen is an upright man and cannot be persuaded to surrender. It can be said that even if he kills his head, he will never surrender. It is better to send him a good horse and let him go out of the city and return to Fengguo... Although the Lord trusts Lu Shichen, he can't block the mouths of many people. Let me ask a great prime minister, if he falls into the hands of the enemy, how can he not be injured and flee back to his country after getting a thousand-mile horse? Lu Shichen will definitely be suspected."

Xue Junliang listened, finally had a smile on his face, and said: "Although it is a good way, it is too heretic, and it really makes Gu Yuxin unbearable. After all, he is such a great talent."

Lang Jing said: "It can only be said that Lu Shichen is ignorant of current affairs."

Xue Junliang seemed to feel that what Lang Jing said was very thoughtful to him, so he couldn't help sighing, and said: "You have helped Gu a lot, but it's a pity that you are dying."

Lang Jing chuckled lightly and said, "Cao Min thinks not necessarily."

"Oh..." Xue Junliang's face darkened, and he said coldly: "You still haven't admitted that you instigated Teng Qianyi to set fire to murder the queen!"

Lang Jing was not overwhelmed, and said: "The grass people did instigate Teng Qianyi to set fire, but it may not be the queen who was burned."

As soon as he said this, Xue Junliang was slightly taken aback, and Teng Yun froze immediately, and immediately lowered his head to look at Lang Jing who was kneeling on the ground.

The man said calmly, "This matter is of great importance, Your Majesty, please hold back."

Xue Junliang doesn't know

What did he mean, but the sentence "the one who burns may not be the queen" made him, a usually calm person, unable to recover for a long time.

Squinting his eyes, Xue Junliang wanted to back away, but Jiang Yu said: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court, why not... come back and listen."

Xue Junliang thought about it, and it was true that the morning court was important, and the ministers could not be kept waiting, so he ordered Lang Jing to wait in the hall, not to take a single step, until he came back from the morning court.

The ministers waited for a while, and King Xue finally came out, and Teng Nanhou also came out together, which inevitably caused everyone to be in an uproar, but they didn't dare to make loud noises, and could only look left and right.

As soon as Xue Junliang came up, he said that someone made a divination for him a few days ago, and the content was similar to what Lang Jing said, and then he said that someone must accompany him, otherwise he would become a tyrant for the rest of his life.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Xue Junliang wanted to do, after all, he had just dismissed Zhu Xiugong, who would choose without the show girls.

Xue Junliang and other ministers made some guesses before speaking slowly, "The sorcerer said that the Marquis of Tengnan is destined to be the master of water, and if he can take Tengying as his concubine, he will have the sages of Yao and Shun."

At this moment, the officials couldn't help discussing in low voices anymore. No one thought that King Xue would marry a man, and this man was still a surrendered minister. Let alone the issue of man or woman, the identity of Marquis Tengnan alone, You can't convince the public.

Xue Junliang remained silent all this time, to see who would be the first to stand up to object, but no one dared to object yet, suddenly someone from the Military Aircraft Department came outside the hall and asked to go to the hall.

Unless it was an urgent military aircraft, no one dared to come over when King Xue was in court. Xue Junliang asked people to come in, and Jiang Yu took the residence report and forwarded it to him.

After a few glances, Xue Junliang asked Xue Houyang to come up and read the mansion newspaper.

When the ministers heard the mansion report, the noise was louder than just now.Zhang Hong invaded Fengguo, was driven back by Fengguo for eighty li, did not dare to attack again, and had already reached the edge of Ming River, ready to cross the river and attack Xueguo.

Although Zhang Hong is brave and foolish, and he is suspicious, this fierce force is not a problem. Others have stepped on the border and must go out to fight against the enemy.

Xue Junliang glanced at the crowd, and said, "How about it, didn't you just talk very happily, now, who has a countermeasure?"

Some people say that Wannianhou can send troops to meet the enemy. Xue Houyang has outstanding military exploits, and if he goes out to fight, he will definitely repel Zhang Hong.

Some people think that there is no need to go to war after ten thousand years, because Zhang Hong dare not attack. After all, he just defeated Feng Guo, and Feng Guo will definitely hate Zhang Hong.

Xue Houyang frowned when he heard this. If he went to fight by himself, Zhang Hong must have crossed the Ming River when he arrived at the border. This would not be conducive to fighting, and it would be absolutely impossible if he did not take precautions.

Xue Junliang waited for a while, no one spoke, and finally said: "Teng Qing, seeing that you lift weights with ease, you must have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

Teng Yun's name was called, he took a step forward, and said, "I do have a plan to retreat from the enemy."

When everyone heard that King Xue wanted to accept him as a male concubine before, most of them were disdainful in their hearts, but now they sniffed and wanted to hear what he had to say.

Teng Yundao: "Zhang Hong invaded Fengguo. Now that the troops are retreating, the king of Feng will definitely not pursue him. After the First World War, the country of Fengguo must be empty. Zhang Hong is willing to turn around. He is naturally happy. You must know that the poor are not to pursue. The king and Zhang Hong are at war. Why not help Fengguo disperse its forces? If we don’t take precautions, we can only let Zhang Hong seize the prefectures and counties north of Mingshui..."

After Teng Yun finished speaking, everyone remained silent, as if they agreed with this point of view.

Teng Yun then continued: "I heard that the climate south of Mingshui is humid and rainy, while the climate north of Mingshui is cold and the dripping water freezes... Most of the soldiers in Xue Kingdom are from the north, so they are not suitable for water warfare. Most of Zhang Hong's army is also a sweaty army who doesn't know how to fight in water, but the confrontation between the two armies will inevitably lose troops and lose generals. I am afraid that Feng Guo will profit from it. Your Majesty may as well let the soldiers take wet water and pour it on the river bank. After a night of cold, the water on the river bank will freeze. The enemy army is naturally in chaos, and at this time, you can set fire to the bulls and drive the enemy army into the water."

Xue Junliang couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm not mistaken."

He paused while speaking, and said: "Teng Qing's intelligence reminds Gu of an old friend."

As soon as his words came out, Teng Yun's back froze, and he was not at all as comfortable as he was just exemplifying the art of war, because Lang Jing just said it not long ago, and Teng Yun would naturally think that this old man is the leader of Fengguo, Xue Junliang. Queen.

Xue Junliang said: "In this way, I don't think there is any need to go after ten thousand years. After the imperial court is retired, Houyang will order someone to write a residence report and send it to Mingshui day and night, so that the soldiers will follow the plan. "

After this incident, just now Xue Junliang asked Naten Nanhou to be his concubine, and no one dared to speak up. Many people understood why King Xue wanted a man into the harem. Teng Yun's resourcefulness really made these Xue people have to fear.

In the morning, Xue Junliang did not stay with Teng Yun, and asked Teng Yun to follow Xue Houyang to write the mansion newspaper. After all, the strategy was his idea, and it needs to be perfected.

Xue Junliang went back to the hall by himself, and Lang Jing was still kneeling on the ground, without moving a step.

Xue Junliang smiled and said: "Gu asked you to wait, but didn't ask you to kneel all the time, why don't you get up?"

Lang Jing said: "Your Majesty asked the Caomin to wait, but did not let the Caomin get up. The Caomin were afraid of offending the King."

Xue Junliang smiles

"I admire you very much, but sometimes I hate your mouth."

After he finished speaking, he didn't give Lang Jing the time to say anything more, and continued: "Go on with what you just said."

But Lang Jing knocked his head on the ground, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, please remove the guards of Zhennanhou's Mansion first, and Lang Jing will know everything."

"Otherwise?"

"Lang Jing is a pedantic scholar. He dare not compare Lu Shichen's loyalty, but his temperament is somewhat similar to Lu Shichen."

Xue Junliang didn't speak, and couldn't see the expression. He called Jiang Yu and asked him to withdraw the troops in person, and then smiled and said: "Lang Jing, Lang Jing, can you save him once, can you save him for the rest of his life? Open your eyes." See who is the one you should give your faithfulness to."

A wry smile flashed across Lang Jing's face, and he said, "Can your majesty give me a word of justice to save my humble minister from death?"

He said without waiting for Xue Junliang to react, and said: "Your Majesty can't. Your Majesty wants to kill me, but you can't find a reason. I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the people. The Lord has the grace to save the grass people. What's more important, Your Majesty. It’s fair to say.”

Xue Junliang didn't speak, Lang Jing told him to back away.
