[Red House] Lixian

The next day, a series of rumors emerged in Chang'an City.

"I heard that Princess Yihe returned to the palace yesterday?"

"How is it possible, she didn't just get married?"

"Hey, Li Laosan, don't you believe it. My third aunt's cousin bought it for the palace. I saw with my own eyes that the empress dowager called the eldest princess back to the palace yesterday. Buy all kinds of snacks."

"Really back? She just went to make a kiss, so she can go home now?"

"The Great Khan will come back with you. As a son-in-law, why not come to see the Queen Mother? You are a newlywed, why don't you listen to your wife?"

"Speaking of which, this Great Khan really loves his wife. It's only been a few days, and he followed him back to Beijing."

Once it was passed on from ten to ten to a hundred, everyone gradually believed in it.

Just as Jia Lian was preparing to go to the palace in the morning, he heard rumors spreading in the city on the way.

"Is this what the empress means?"

Yesterday my daughters were busy going in and out, even at night they pulled Ping'er to prevent him from entering the house, forcing him to spend the night in the study.

"Mysterious and mysterious, I don't know what the empress told them."

After staying in the study all night, Jia Lian got up early in the morning to inquire, but the two refused to disclose, so they had to go to the morning court in a daze.

Not only him, other ministers also heard gossip when walking on the road.

Senior scholar Mei and his son were on the carriage, the senior scholar flashed his eyes and sneered at his son: "Look at this trick, it must be that demon concubine in the palace who did it!"

Mei Hanlin was speechless, thinking of his daughter who was still in the marriage team, his mind was complicated.When the three of Weiying came back, they only left the marriage team outside the Great Wall.Because the Great Khan was tied up, everyone was afraid to kill people instead.

But they are in danger outside the Great Wall, and I don't know what will happen to those people in the future.

"Then—Father, do we have to do it?"

"Do it? What to do?" Mei University asked back: "Although the old man doesn't like her meddling in the previous court casually, but in terms of the attitude of Jiangshan Sheji, we don't want the outside of the Great Wall to invade the frontier."

"Now that Your Majesty is marching south, the most important thing at this time is to maintain the stability of the rear. She tried every means to quell the possible anger of Saibei. Her method was nothing more than to characterize the matter and use Khan as an excuse to force Saibei to retreat. Preserve the stability of the frontier for ten years."

"The concubine Yao is fast enough!" Even though Senior Madam Mei didn't like Wei Qian, he had to admit that this move was very clever.On the one hand, it can ease the tension in northern Serbia, and on the other hand, it can also preserve the court's face.Khan came here by himself, not because of Weiying's kidnapping, so naturally it was not a turn of events by the court.Although Weiying lost a possible meritorious service, it is not a bad thing to quell a fight.

"However, if she does this, that Khan's attitude is the most important. If he refuses to let go, he will insist on it. Heh heh... the Wei family siblings will be in trouble."

The father and son went to the East Palace to meet the prince.

Now the prince is in charge of the country, because he is too young to enter the Xuanzheng Palace to start the dynasty.In the East Palace, he brought the prince Taifu, the prince Taibao and others to summon the officials.

The boy sat on the chair with his immature face, which was rather cute.

When Lin Ruhai talked about the rumors in the city, he didn't mention the source of the rumors, but everyone knew the root of the rumors.

Zhu Zhiming glanced at Jia Lian unobtrusively, and then at Grand Master Mei, who, as the head of the seven ministers, stood quietly to one side.

Except for His Majesty who likes to use this kind of method, it is also the empress in the palace.

When Zhu Zhiming thought of Wei Qian's interference in the government over the years, he felt a little complicated. "It's also thanks to His Majesty's broad-mindedness that he can tolerate her controlling the situation several times. Turning six parts into seven parts has broken the etiquette and music rules that have been in existence for thousands of years."

The establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture is equally divided between opposition and support.Wei Qian took the opportunity to intervene and helped Jia Lian to the top.If it wasn't for the opposition of the ministers, Wei Qian would have the heart to persuade Situ Yun to move the matter of water transportation to the Ministry of Agriculture, and completely cut off the money bags of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

Everyone in the two departments deeply hated this lady for taking away their gray income, and the ministers thought that the rumors in the city certainly did not like her.But everyone is not stupid, after all, this empress did not show her flaws, so it is not easy for them to take the initiative to expose her.So this thing went back and forth in circles.

"Since the Great Khan came to visit the Empress Dowager on his own initiative, why not ask the Great Khan to leave a handwritten letter on the frontier, so as to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties." The minister of the Ministry of Industry should not have said this, but when he thought of the harem, Yin Cece spoke : "Why don't I wait to meet this Khan now?"

Going to visit now?Isn't that wearing clothes?

Zhu Zhiming frowned: "It is reasonable to say that Khan is the lord beyond the Great Wall, and he should meet with royal rites when he enters Beijing. But now he is meeting the queen mother as a son-in-law, which has nothing to do with my family affairs." Putting aside the relationship with the Ministry of Rites.

"That's right, although it's against the rules for the Empress Dowager to call her into the palace, it's a family matter of the Heavenly Family, and it's inconvenient for me to ask about it."

"Don't ask? Saibei sent troops, why don't we ask? We must ask the Great Khan to clarify."

"Then who is going to visit Khan? Your Majesty is not here. Who is suitable to visit Khan?" Zhu Zhiming asked.Let the prince go?Although Khan is from outside the Great Wall, if he uses his status as the eldest princess' husband to suppress him, wouldn't the prince have to behave like a junior?It's even worse on the face.All the ministers go, in what capacity?Do you want to salute?What kind of ceremony should I use?A gift to the prince?Or the gift of the county king?

"It's inconvenient for foreign ministers to interfere in this matter. Why don't you ask the Queen Mother for her opinion?" Jia Lian smiled slightly. As Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, although he is young, he is qualified to participate in such high-level meetings.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry snorted, he and Jia Lian were the worst match, the two were too close to each other, how much power did the Ministry of Agriculture take away from him?But how Jia Lian dealt with him on weekdays, how he dealt with Jia Zheng later.

After hearing what they said, the prince ordered the palace servants to ask the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager handed over the matter to Wei Qian, and Ningshou Palace stopped the palace servants and ordered him to go to Qingsi Palace.

Wei Qian was not in the Palace of Qing Si, but he guessed that a courtier would come to ask questions today, so he left a message.

Hongchun greeted the East Palace in person, and when the ministers saw the woman in red coming, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Hongchun has the position of a female official, and Tian Wei is a second-rank female minister. She is on an equal footing with many officials present, and she can be called a model among women.

Zhu Zhiming thought in his mind that his daughter has recently entered the palace as a female official, and it would be great when she can get to this point.

However, it is very difficult for female officials to be promoted. Except for the female officials who have served in the palace all their lives, those girls from aristocratic families who have been out of the palace for three years, it is the grace of the palace to be able to be a female official.

After a brief greeting, Hong Chun saluted the prince. "There was news from the Linzhao Palace this morning, but I was resting in the palace because of the sweat and soil, so it is inconvenient to meet with foreign ministers."

"However, the eldest princess has just returned to the palace, and she is lonely. If the prince is interested, why not go and see the eldest princess?"

"I'll talk about it later, aunt." The crown prince let Hongchun go down, and said to the ministers: "You all heard what Concubine Ning said, this handwritten instruction—"

"Let Concubine Ning come here." Senior Madam Mei didn't want to hold back on this matter: "Your Majesty is not here, Concubine Ning is in charge of the Six Palaces, so she should receive the Great Khan. Your Majesty will only find a way to write this handwriting." The person who knows you best is always the enemy, Madam Mei guessed it right.

At this time, Wei Qian was having a headache for handwriting.

In Linzhao Hall, Wei Ying and the three of them were all imprisoned here.Because Wei Qian had said hello, Wei Ying and Yihe were treated well, and Great Khan didn't suffer.

Early in the morning, Wei Qian entered the hall to play chess with the three of them.The current round is Wei Qian vs. Great Khan.

Big Khan rolled his eyes, but Wei Ying and the others stood aside.Young Lang had a saber hanging on his waist, guards such as Wang Zheng and Yang Kai supervised beside him, and even Yi He was holding a dagger in his arms, everyone was wary of him, the chief outside the Great Wall.

Khan and Wei Qian sat opposite each other, with a chess set in front of them.Wei Qian was calm and calm, drinking tea and playing chess with Big Khan with a smile.

The Great Khan was not stupid, he was kidnapped into the palace, and he would never write handwriting. "You southern barbarians are fighting with the south, and you dare to attack me. Are you afraid that I will crush you Chang'an with a hundred thousand cavalry?" The car crossed the river and prepared for the general.

"It's a pity that the Great Khan was gone at that time." Wei Qian sighed quietly: "I heard that the outside of the Great Wall is not safe. Apart from the Great Khan, it seems that there are many heirs?" , forcing the Great Khan to move the veteran.

Big Khan's face tightened, that's right, except for the two grown sons, his brothers are not easy to save money.

"Nonsense, we prairie boys are not as cunning as you!" He retorted on the surface, but his confidence was a little lacking.

Wei Qian laughed and said, "After Khan entered Beijing, the initiative is already in my hands." Wei Qian ordered some teacups, and Wei Ying stepped forward to add water to her: "Saibei army is suppressing? I heard that you Hu people are fighting each other You are not inferior to us Central Plains people. As long as I clearly say that you are here as a guest, and you are allied with one of the grassland forces, can this battle still be fought?"

"Cunning Central Plains people!"

"Is this considered cunning?" Wei Qian stretched his head over, "If the Palace makes a plan, I will send someone to persuade your sons and tell every grown-up son that the imperial court is willing to stand by him, as long as they can guarantee ten years Peace on the frontier. Then add fuel to both sides, let them kill each other, and finally let you die."

"Saibei is fighting internally, so naturally there is no power to fight against us in the Central Plains. Isn't it?" Wei Qian took another step forward: "The young wolves will grow up after all, and they will challenge the wolf leader. I believe they will help me to testify, Great Khan He came to Chang'an on his own initiative."

"..." Great Khan was beating a drum in his heart, thinking about which of his subordinates he could trust.After all these years of operation, there should be someone who can trust me, right?should……

"By the way, how many people do you think I have found so far?" Wei Qian lied all over the sky without changing her face: "Otherwise, why did those wedding teams stay in Saibei?"

That's right, since someone in the marriage team can kidnap him, why can't he have a few envoys to form an alliance with his bastard sons?

The Great Khan was suspicious, and his expression gradually became ugly.

Wei Qian patted Big Khan on the shoulder, not worried about Big Khan's attack on him at all: "Big Khan is not satisfied with the soil, so it's better to rest assured to recuperate. You know. Combining vertical and horizontal, this has always been what we in the Central Plains are best at."

These words were another hint in the ears of the Great Khan.His face changed drastically, and he looked at his food.Are these people going to poison themselves?Then support newcomers from outside the Great Wall?

Wei Qian ignored him, and greeted Wei Ying: "Ying'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, come and talk to my sister." After speaking, he took everyone away, leaving only Great Khan to think slowly.
