Taiwei Su Qi is the father of Queen Su Ruji. Yun Shang leaned on the carriage and thought, could it be that the person behind Gu Chaoge mentioned by Jiang Nuxi was the Taiwei? Or was he the Queen?
When he arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Yun Shang saw that the Duke's Mansion was surrounded by layers of soldiers. Many people in the Duke's Mansion were blocking the door, looking at the Taizu who was sitting on a chair in front of the gate and drinking tea comfortably.
Wei Yun Shang sneered, stepped down from the carriage, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Tai Wei is very leisurely, so he took his soldiers to drink tea in front of the Duke's Mansion so early. But the weather is a little bit cold.
It's hot. It's quite comfortable at this time of day. But in a little while, when the sun comes out, I'm afraid it won't be so comfortable."
Hearing this, Su Qi turned around and looked at Yun Shang with squinted eyes, a flash of disdain in his eyes, "I'm not here to drink tea, but a servant from the Duke's mansion came to report that there was a conspiracy hidden in the Duke's mansion.
I'm here to protect the evidence from being destroyed. The princess is a woman, so it's best not to get involved."
"Really?" Yun Shang slowly walked towards the gate, smiled and appeased some people in Dingguo's mansion who were a little excited, turned around and said, "Maybe I'm not very familiar with the laws of Xia Kingdom, I
I didn’t know that Lord Taiwei also had the authority to search the residences of first-rank ministers in the court.”
"Princess Rui, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't talk nonsense. When did you see me searching the house? I was just afraid that the evidence would be destroyed, so I came to protect the evidence. I have also given His Majesty the imperial edict. Wait.
Once the imperial edict is issued, we will naturally be able to search the mansion." The Taiwei touched the beard on his face and said with a smile.
"Oh? That's it..." Yun Shang's expression remained unchanged, she straightened her sleeves, turned around and whispered to Qianyin, "I heard that it is very important for the Taiwei to be in charge of heavy troops. If the Taiwei is
If something happens to your Excellency, the Xia Kingdom will be in danger. Aren't the thousands of soldiers in the Xia Kingdom leaderless? Such an important person should naturally be well protected. We should also protect the Taiwei's family. Go, pass.
My order is to mobilize all the secret guards, guards and guardians of Prince Rui’s Mansion to go to Taiwei’s Mansion and take good care of Taiwei’s family.”
Everyone in the Duke's Mansion behind him looked at each other in shock when he heard this. The eldest son of Duke Hua also smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we also have hundreds of guards who are not in the mansion and can be mobilized in the guard camp on the outskirts of the city. This girl will
Take it with you too." After saying that, he took a black token from his waist and handed it to Qianyin.
When Su Qi heard this, her face suddenly turned ugly. She patted the armrest of the chair and said angrily, "How dare you!"
"There is no need for you to be polite, Taiwei. This is what I should do. By the way, I suddenly thought of it. If an important official of the court like you is taken advantage of, there will be something treacherous in the house, comparable to Duke Dingguo."
Such a person who has not been involved in political affairs for more than 20 years is much more threatening. The person who came, in the name of my princess, asked your majesty to send someone to search the Taiwei's mansion." Yun Shang said in a loud voice, with a cold look in his eyes.
A little bit more fierce.
"Did you hear what the princess said? Please submit a document in the name of the Duke of Hua and send it to the palace immediately."
Su Qi stood up, pointed at Yun Shang, and said bitterly, "Princess Rui, you are going to do something right with me today, right?"
"Against it?" Yun Shang pretended not to understand and said with some confusion, "What do you mean, Mr. Su? I am also the princess of the Xia Kingdom. Naturally, I am thinking about the country."
Looking at the distorted look on Su Qi's face, Yun Shang sneered in her heart for a moment. When Kang Yang and Na Qi Lang were facing each other tit for tat, Yun Shang knew that when dealing with such a person, there is no logic or rules. She is more rogue and more unreasonable than him. Anyway, Yun Shang is just a woman. If Su Qi argues too much with her, she will lose.
Yun Chang didn't just talk, he quickly asked Qian Yin to find someone to surround the Taiwei's mansion. He also drew up a plan and asked the secret guard to take his token and enter the palace.
Su Qi was sitting outside the door, and Yun Shang and everyone from the Duke's Mansion sat with him. Seeing this, Shen Yilan understood what Yun Shang was thinking, and simply asked the maid to bring some iced fruit and put it at the door. There were several ice basins placed at the door. Even though the sun was gradually rising, it didn't feel hot at all, and because a maid was fanning the ice cubes with a fan, a cool breeze kept coming.
Shen Yilan stared at Su Qi blowing his beard. Because there was no shelter from the eaves, the sun had already hit him, and thin beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. Shen Yilan even laughed happily and pulled her Yun Shang whispered in a low voice, "I thought I was already good at messing around, but I didn't expect this rabbit to bite people when it gets anxious. Moreover, this bite looks gentle and gentle, but it has the ability to infuriate people. , I’m really convinced.”
Yun Shang also laughed when he heard this, and said softly, "Nothing else. It's just because I have a pretty useful princess status in Ning country, so I'm used to being wild and willful."
"If you are wild and willful, you will never be gentle and virtuous." Shen Yilan laughed loudly, but attracted Su Qi's eyes. When Shen Yilan saw this, she simply stuck out her tongue at Su Qi and laughed and laughed with Yun Shang. They changed the topic and started chatting. Shen Yilan didn't like makeup or anything like that, but she was very interested in weapons. Yun Shang did some research on these things, and the two chatted happily.
The sun was getting brighter. Su Qi wiped the sweat from her face, stared at Yun Shang fiercely, and said with a sneer, "As Princess Rui, I am here to show off."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, ignored it, and kept chatting with Shen Yilan.
After about an hour, several horses galloped towards this side. Everyone looked up and saw several people dressed as chamberlains getting off their horses and walking over. Su Qi smiled coldly. , seemed to be very confident, glanced at Yun Shang and everyone in the Duke's Mansion behind him, and greeted him with a smile, "Eunuch Lin, does your Majesty have a decree?"
The chamberlain nodded, but said in a low voice to Su Qi, "Sir, the matter is not settled. Your Majesty has announced that you and Princess Rui will enter the palace together."
Su Qi's face suddenly changed color, her hands secretly clenched in her sleeves, and after a while she said, "What happened?"
Before the chamberlain could answer, Yun Shang spoke slowly, "What is this Eunuch Lin whispering to Mr. Su? But His Majesty has an imperial edict? If there is an imperial edict, it would be against the rules to only talk to Mr. Su alone. Why don't we all listen to it?"
The chamberlain had no choice but to hold out a golden scroll and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty has decreed that Grand Lieutenant Su Qisu and Princess Rui come to the palace to pay homage."
Everyone hurriedly saluted, and Yun Shang walked down the steps with a smile, looked at Su Qi and said, "Sir Su Qi, are you going to withdraw your troops or not?"
Su Qi sneered, "Withdraw troops? Why withdraw? I have already said that I am here to protect the evidence."
Yun Shang didn't care to mind, nodded and said, "In that case, there is no need to evacuate the princess's people. Just now I heard someone reported that a lady in the Taiwei's residence is sick? Well, Taiwei doesn't need to be too anxious.
, I have already asked someone to accompany the housekeeper in your house to ask for a doctor."
"You!" The veins on Su Qi's forehead suddenly popped out. After a while, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, very good."
Yun Shang chuckled lightly, "Master Su, there is no need to be too grateful. This is what I, the princess, should do." After saying that, she let the maid help her get into the carriage and walked towards the palace.
Because Yun Shang was riding a carriage and Su Qi was riding a horse, when Yun Shang arrived at the meeting hall, Su Qi was already there, sitting on a chair with a somewhat unkind look on her face, and opposite her sat the Duke's wife. Yun Shang gave Xia Huanyu
After saying hello, I sat down next to the Duke's wife. I looked at her carefully and felt a little relieved when I saw that although the Duke's face looked a little not so good, she seemed to be fine.
Xia Huanyu's face was a little cold, his eyes swept over the three people in the hall, and he frowned and said, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Su Qi quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am not fooling around. Last night, a servant from the Duke's Mansion knocked on the door of the Taiwei Mansion late at night, saying that evidence of treason was found in the Duke's Mansion.
The minister was deeply aware that this matter was of great importance, so he took this strategy and surrounded the Duke's mansion to preserve the evidence."
The Duke's wife held her crutch in her hand, looked at Su Qi indifferently, and sneered, "Without sufficient evidence, he mobilized heavy troops to surround the residence of the first-rank minister in the court. The Taiwei Lord is really powerful. I don't know this."
Who is treasonous?"
"What's the fuss about?" Xia Huanyu patted the table, frowned and looked at Yun Shang, who was sitting quietly aside, "What's the matter with you?"
Yun Shang smiled softly, "I just went to the Duke's Mansion to visit and heard Taiwei Su talking about this matter. I felt that what he said was very reasonable. I thought that Mr. Su has a heavy army, which is extremely important. Sir.
The woman felt that Taiwei Su's safety was extremely important, and His Majesty must protect Taiwei Su. If Taiwei Su was used by traitors and committed treason, it would be fatal to the Xia Kingdom.
After all, in addition to His Majesty's personal guards, the other soldiers of the Xia Kingdom are at the command of the Taiwei. Today, the Taiwei can dispatch troops to besiege the Duke's Mansion in the future. Maybe tomorrow, the Taiwei will
Then we can mobilize our troops and generals to besiege the palace."
Yun Shang's father is the emperor, so he naturally understands what the emperor is most afraid of. Too much concentration of power is also a taboo. Maybe many people understand it, but no one gives Xia Huanyu such a thumbs up.
come out.
"Nonsense!" Su Qi became anxious when he heard this, hurriedly slapped the table, stood up, and knelt down suddenly, "Your Majesty clearly knows that I have no intention of treason." (To be continued)
