Shen Qingyi was listless, but her eyes lit up when she heard this. She smoothed the strings in surprise and said, "Is this true?"
"Of course it's serious. Liu Ying saw it with her own eyes. Can it be false?"
She sat down affectionately, hugged Shen Qingyi's arm, and said, "Miss, what a clever plan!"
But after praising her, she couldn't help but feel a little strange: "But since the banquet is seven days later, why did you send the order today? Miss, how did you know that His Majesty will send the order to the palace in these days?"
Shen Qingyi continued to play the piano and said casually: "Do you remember the day when the three courts were in session?"
Liuying nodded and said: "Of course I remember it. It was exactly five days later..."
After she said that, she understood and said: "It's just on the eve of the palace banquet!"
Shen Qingyi smiled and said: "That's exactly it."
While reciting the music score silently, she explained: "Your Majesty ascended to the throne by crawling around and meditating in a palace that eats people without spitting out bones. The Liu family and the Meng family are in separate families, and each supports the prince and covets the throne. The eldest brother is subject to
In the case of injustice, even others could guess that someone was operating behind the scenes. How could the emperor not know about it if he was so shrewd?
"Except for my father as the Tutor and the eldest brother as the Magistrate, our Shen family has no official officials. Compared with the Liu and Meng families, His Majesty naturally hopes to save the life of his elder brother who is better at handling it. I'm afraid that
I wish our Shen family could launch a beautiful counterattack and defeat the Liu family in one fell swoop.
"He knew very well that my brother must have been wronged, and even if he really went to court, the crime would not be justified. Therefore, he specially issued the order before the three halls' trial, and also informed us that there would be a banquet after the trial. This was a silent message to the world.
Although the eldest son of the Shen family has been imprisoned, the two younger brothers and sisters have made great achievements and were received by the Holy Master himself. This is tantamount to giving Liu Muzhi a reason to be afraid, forcing him to quickly think of ways to attack my brother.
This doesn't feel like a good sign.
Three days later.
"Winning a king or losing a bandit is never a joke.
After all, no emperor would tolerate anyone overriding the imperial power!
"Since this imperial edict has been given to our Shen Mansion, there is no reason why we should not use it. Immediately send people to spread the news that the imperial edict has been sent to our Shen Mansion. Exaggerate it as much as you want. Within two days, I want the entire
Everyone in the capital knows that His Majesty will personally entertain my Shen brothers and sisters!"
…
Shen Qingyi knew that he had made a mistake, so he quickly pressed the strings to silence the sound, and said to cover up: "Oh, it's nothing, I just felt something while playing the piano, so I just uttered a few nonsense words."
As soon as these words came out, a person in the booth next door put down his wine glass, stopped the handsome man opposite who was about to start a toast, and listened calmly to the corner with his ears raised.
The real chess player should obviously be the emperor hiding behind the scenes.
She shuddered, looking at Shen Qingyi's unusually firm eyes, her straight back, and her calm expression analyzing the situation, and suddenly realized that the girl in front of her was indeed a bit more strange than before.
.
Liuying was confused: "That person? Who is he?"
If His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid he will be killed.
Can the young lady of my family really escape unscathed?
There was a thin layer of fearful sweat on her palms, but it was not shown on her face. Instead, she smiled warmly and said, "Indeed, but I see that the young lady is no worse than the real master of the world."
I heard another person answer: "You drank too much, and your brain was spilled when you went to the toilet, right? Then Shen Da is just a small prefect, a fifth-grade official with a bigger fart, if it is true After deliberately dealing with him, it was his turn to live for so many more days, and he was even worthy of being interrogated by the three courts? Who are these ordinary people who can be interrogated? They are all relatives of the emperor who have committed crimes! This Shen family is nothing, If His Majesty hadn't really been determined to protect Shen Dalang, how could he have praised Shen Erlang and Shen Sanniang at this juncture? Let me tell you, it is certain that Shen Dalang was wronged. Now His Majesty is standing in the direction of the Shen family. Just watch. On the day of the trial, who dares to hit this nail?"
"Me and Fifty Liang!"
"You dare to go down at fifty taels, I'll follow you at five hundred taels!"
"However, even if Liu Muzhi is resentful, he will only resent my second brother and me, not His Majesty. You only saw this flimsy imperial edict, but it has tied the heads of my three siblings and the entire Liu family to it.
Everyone then started making a fuss.
Liuying did not doubt that he was there and said: "So that's it, what should we do now?"
The sound of music suddenly broke out as she spoke, causing Liu Ying's back to unconsciously feel a chill.
In the past, Shen Qingyi was also famous for her intelligence, but her vision was limited to the back house, and her methods were nothing more than small tricks. But now, she can take one step and see hundreds of steps. In her eyes, the world's situation is like a chess player watching. There is a board full of chess pieces, and they are moving step by step. The chess pieces are using all possible means on the chessboard to kill others. Everyone thinks they can have the last laugh, but they don’t know that they have already been played by the chess player. Between the palms of your hands without knowing it.
"But when it comes to a game where people are used as chess pieces, who can compare to the true master of the world?"
"Hey, you said it as if you met me face to face, and you have the guts. Let's play a game. I'll stake a hundred taels of silver. Who will follow?"
The place where Xiu was leaning alone was full of guests, and everyone was talking a lot. Eight of the ten most lively conversations among people passed down by word of mouth revolved around the word "Shen family."
"Let's go, I'll follow you for a hundred taels!"
But Liuying had an inexplicable feeling that the emperor was also in Shen Qingyi's hands.
The dandies gathered together and listened to the music. One of them drank a sip of the 70-year-old daughter's red and got a little drunk. With the strength of the wine, he spoke loudly: "It's strange that you say this. The Shen family has never been promising. , Da Lang, who was the prefect, was the first to show his face. He didn’t know how much face he had to be thrown into the prison. He was basically waiting for the guillotine to be put on his neck. He didn’t expect that Shen Erlang and that person Shen Sanniang, the most beautiful beauty in the capital, has grown up so much that His Majesty can host a banquet in person. This is really interesting. Does His Majesty mean to let Shen Da live? "
Shen Qingyi raised a pair of phoenix eyes, and the ambition bursting out of them was clearly revealed.
Only another person said: "Where are you thinking? This matter is definitely impossible. If His Majesty wants to spare him, how can there be any reason to let Shen Da be locked up in prison? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."
The sound of the piano was wafting, Shen Qingyi closed his eyes and said while playing the piano: "Who is the master of the world? Compared with that person, I'm afraid everyone is the real loser..."
"As long as he shows signs of taking action, it is equivalent to giving us a reason to fight back. If he does not take action, this action will become a joke. Your Majesty's imperial edict is equivalent to forcing Liu Muzhi to Shangliangshan.
The eavesdropping man was thoughtful.
The handsome young man opposite the man looked at him silently and couldn't help but wonder.
"Uncle Li, I invite you to listen to music today. What's wrong with you? Why do you look unhappy?"
