The king was wrong

"Hmph, why, you're not colluding with King Beidi in private, and once the child is born, you will find a way to overthrow me and help him to the throne?" Wei Chengtian suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked Qi Songjin bluntly.

Qi Songjin looked up at him, then lowered his eyes again, without saying a word.

Her plan was never intended to be hidden from Wei Chengtian's eyes, and now that he has said it out, there is nothing to deny or explain.If she dared to do this, she had already planned it out. Now that she had a dragon in her belly, even if Wei Chengtian hated her to death, there was no way he would fight her at this time.Now Beidi has raised troops as promised, as long as she successfully saves herself and survives until the child falls to the ground, there will be a way to turn things around!

but……

"Hahahaha, Qi Songjin, oh Qi Songjin, you...you are really smart for a lifetime, and you were so confused that you actually thought of such a trick."

Who would have thought that Wei Chengtian suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and then lowered his head when he had laughed enough, his eagle eyes were completely devoid of smiles, fixed on Qi Songjin, staring at her with chills all over his body.

"Do you think your child can still be born?" Wei Chengtian shook his head amusedly, and casually said something that could make Qi Songjin completely collapse: "Do you think that Liu Taiyi has been bribed by you a long time ago? It's really stupid, whatever, just Wait until your tocolytic is stopped, and then let yourself find out slowly."

"What does the emperor mean? Doctor Liu and his concubine said that this fetus is stable, so it must be a healthy dragon!" Qi Songjin sensed something wrong in his words, got up and stepped forward, stopping Wei Chengtian , stared at him and asked.

"Yes, it must be a dragon." Wei Chengtian was not annoyed when she stopped him, and stood there with his arms folded, looking at her with pity, "Don't worry, it must be a healthy one, Long."

After all, Wei Chengtian sneered, ignored her, and left Fenglai Palace without hesitation. When he was about to leave the court gate, he looked back at the bleak Fenglai Palace in the early winter and the withered old sycamore tree in front of the gate, sneered, and she sang the brocade dove After occupying the magpie's nest for so many years, it's time for retribution.

"Shu Ran..."

Wei Chengtian murmured, shook his head, and finally left.

Everyone is gone, so what's the point of calling her name again...

"Your Majesty, Princess Yong has arrived and is waiting outside."

Inside the Chongming Hall, Wei Chengtian was sitting in a daze staring at the battle report sent by the front on the table, when Ji Hong came in, bowed to him, and said.

"Oh, here?" Wei Chengtian came back to his senses when he heard the words, blinked, casually stuffed the battle report in his hand under the memorial next to him, and nodded to Ji Hong, "Let him in."

"Yes."

Ji Hong retreated, not long after, Qi Yaoqing came in, stood about three meters away from Wei Chengtian, respectfully bowed to him, and said: "Qi Yaoqing, the guilty minister, kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor."

Hearing his address, Wei Chengtian asked a little amusedly: "Why, you have already called yourself a criminal minister before I convict you?"

"Your Majesty, the Qi family has been convicted, and the offender is the son of the Qi family, so naturally he cannot be spared." Qi Yaoqing said without changing his face.

Today, Wei Yanxi suddenly had something to go to the Ministry of War to discuss, so he might not even be able to come back in time for lunch.Originally, Qi Yaoqing was alone in the mansion, and planned to find two idle books to pass the time at will, but he didn't know that Wei Yanxi had just left before Wei Chengtian's order to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit arrived.

Now that Lanchao and Beidi are in battle, there are naturally many things for him to be busy at the Ministry of War, but why Wei Chengtian avoids Wei Yanxi and asks him to come to the palace alone, the intention in the middle is really worth thinking about.

"You do have self-knowledge." Not far away, Wei Chengtian nodded in satisfaction, "Knows how to measure, knows how to advance and retreat, and truly lives up to your reputation as a genius in Kyoto. Oh, how ridiculous you say, I didn't expect to look at the Qi family. The truly outstanding person in this generation is not Qi Haoyuan, the eldest son of Duke Yuan, nor the abolished Empress Qi, but you, the second son who was rejected by them and married off."

After a pause, Wei Chengtian seemed to have remembered something, and said again: "Well, but it's true, I heard that you and the two of them are not the same biological mother, and have been nurtured and nurtured by different people since childhood. There are different."

He casually said these irrelevant things, while in the hall, Qi Yaoqing frowned slightly, knelt there, lowered his eyes and listened quietly to Wei Chengtian's words.

"I heard that you lost your mother when you were young, and your father quickly restored the side room. I think life has been difficult for these years."

"Thanks to the emperor's concern, everything is fine for the guilty minister."

"What about now? Your father and his family are all in prison, and they will be sent to the frontier soon. From now on, they will never be able to set foot in Kyoto. What dissatisfaction do you have?"

"Your majesty is worrying too much. The Qi family committed a major treason, so naturally they should be severely punished. The criminals dare not be dissatisfied."

Every sentence he said was well-regulated, respectful and rigorous, Wei Chengtian's eyes were dimmed, he smiled playfully, and said: "That's right, now you still have Yanxi protecting you, so naturally you won't be dissatisfied. But..."

When he said this, he suddenly paused, and Qi Yaoqing looked up at him in confusion, only to see that Wei Chengtian's eyes were full of scrutiny, and the irresistible coercion from the superior was attacking him.

Qi Yaoqing showed no expression, still looking at Wei Chengtian calmly, waiting for his next words.

"If you think about it, you also know that Beidi and our dynasty have declared war, and the Northwest Garrison has already gone to actively fight against the enemy. Although I temporarily dispatched General Fuyuan stationed in the Northwest and General Weihu stationed in Ludi to lead the entire army, but after all Without long-term experience in fighting Beidi, I dare not leave the outcome in their hands. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Qi Yaoqing nodded, "The emperor wants the prince to fight against Beidi."

"That's right, Beidi is coming very aggressively this time, and now only Yanxi can completely defeat Beidi with [-]% confidence, so I will need him to go out no matter what."

This was also Wei Chengtian's original plan.According to his plan, first let Qi Songjin pretend that she is pregnant with his own child, then she will definitely relax her vigilance, and it will be much more convenient for Dali Temple to do things.

Then, when the time is right, we will overthrow the Qi family and Qi Songjin in one fell swoop, and then issue an imperial decree for Wei Yanxi to retire Qi Yao, so that the Qi family will never slip through the net.

But once the Qi family and the queen fall, judging from the relationship between Qi Songjin and King Beidi, it is very likely that King Beidi will reach some kind of agreement with her through the child in her womb, and then take advantage of the chaos to send troops to declare war on Lan Dynasty.

At this time, it was only more than a year since the last truce. Beidi was located in the extreme north, with a lack of natural resources and slow recovery of troops.

King Beidi is actually putting all his eggs in one basket when he sends troops now. If it succeeds, it will be tantamount to supporting Qi Songjin and her son to the throne, and the benefits he will get in the future will definitely not be small.

The country of Beidi has been poor for a long time, and it is afraid of being poor. It is mercenary, and if such an opportunity is in front of it, it will definitely not let it go in vain.

And this was exactly what Wei Chengtian wanted.

Since the first emperor, the war between the Lan Dynasty and Beidi has never stopped. As an emperor, Wei Chengtian does not want to be like his father who has been doing nothing for life. He hopes that the troubles of Beidi can be completely resolved during his reign. This time is an excellent time.

Lanchao has recuperated for a year, and now the army is strong, but Beidi is not. Wei Chengtian took this opportunity to force them to send troops in a hurry when Beidi had not fully recovered its combat power, and then came to the bottom of the pot, so that it had been seen beforehand. Look at the Northwest garrison and the Lu garrison that have been arranged to meet head-on, and Wei Yanxi will go to the command to try to take Beidi down in one fell swoop.

But now everything is ready, everything is ready, the only thing I owe is Dongfeng, but Wei Yanxi is the shareholder, because the princess of his family, surnamed Qi, bit her teeth and refused to let go. She just refused to go to the front to fight. Wei Chengtian.

Some time ago, Wei Chengtian and Wei Yanxi had another in-depth conversation, and they put the timing, pros and cons in front of Wei Yanxi to analyze with him, but finally persuaded Wei Yanxi to relax and willing to go to war, but in the end he actually Throwing out a sentence, "I can go if you want, but I want to take the princess with you", almost hitting Wei Chengtian directly in the face with the inkstone.

After that day, there was a gap between the two brothers because of Qi Yaoqing, and each of them refused to give in. Seeing that Beidi was getting tighter and tighter, Wei Chengtian finally planned to spend his energy on Qi Yaoqing after some careful consideration.

The person who tied the bell is still needed to untie the bell, if he doesn't listen to his persuasion, then he can only find a way to get Qi Yaoqing to persuade him.

"For you, Yanxi has really done everything. Although he used to have a strong temper, he would listen to what my brother said anyway, and he would never ignore matters related to my country. But now Well, Beidi is committing crimes, and the situation is urgent, but because of you, he is willing to be a coward, disregarding the country and the country, Qi Yaoqing, you can be convicted of the crime!"

Wei Chengtian suddenly raised his voice, and his tone became sharper, but Qi Yaoqing's face remained unchanged, and he respectfully kowtowed to Wei Chengtian again, saying: "I am guilty."

"Okay!" Wei Chengtian got up and walked around in front of him, "I ask you, which one is the greatest among family and country?"

"The world."

"The king and the ministers and the ego, which one comes first?"

"Mr."

"Then what should we do now that the country is in crisis?"

"Abandon the ego, have the world in mind, share the same hatred with the enemy, and help the community."

"Good, good, good!"

Wei Chengtian said three good things in a row, "Since you understand everything, why do you want to be the one who drags Yanxi down? Now that the war is suffering and people are panicking, the people of my dynasty are waiting for me to give them an explanation, why their God of War You still have to stay in the capital and ignore the war. Why is there one person who survived the fall of the Qi family who was so jealous in their eyes? What kind of explanation do they have?"

Until then, Qi Yaoqing was finally completely convinced that Wei Chengtian summoned him today because he wanted him to be willing to plead guilty and be punished, and by the way, be the emperor's lobbyist for him again, and persuade Wei Yanxi to go to the northwest to fight obediently.

As far as selfishness is concerned, Qi Yaoqing naturally does not want Wei Yanxi to leave, because once he leaves, he may not be able to go to the city gate to meet him again when he returns from the victory.

But Qi Yaoqing has read the books of sages since he was a child, and he knows very well what the consequences will be if Wei Yanxi refuses to resist this time.Not to mention that Sheji and Jiangshan will be in danger, Wei Yanxi's image of God of War over the years will be destroyed, and she will bear the scolding of the world from now on, just like Concubine Shu's elder brother back then, the world can only see the fact that they have violated the holy order and the hearts of the people , ignoring the real reason for this at all.

And himself, because of the surname "Qi", will be cast aside for the rest of his life and will not die well.

Qi Yaoqing is not afraid of being ruined, but Wei Yanxi will be implicated and infamous because of his affairs.

After all, he still didn't want to see him become an enemy of the entire Lan Dynasty for himself.

"Chen...willing to be punished."

In the end, Qi Yaoqing sighed softly, and still said this sentence.

"Very good." Wei Chengtian nodded, "You are very smart, you should know what to do."

"Yes."

"Forget it, then you go back, just keep what I said to you today in your heart, just back down."

After finishing speaking, Wei Chengtian walked back to the desk and sat down, reviewing the memorial again.And Qi Yaoqing took a deep look at him, bowed his head respectfully again and bowed, got up and left.

The man's voice and smile appeared in his mind, Qi Yaoqing smiled wryly and shook his head.He is very clear that if only one of the two can survive intact, Wei Yanxi will definitely choose him, but he will definitely choose him.
