C387 internal strife

Hua Rong's gaze fell on her husband and she felt an intense pain in her heart. Despicable, how could she be despicable? To contend with Zhao Deji's troops? Not caring about the life and death of Zhang Xian and the others, running away from them? Or was he just like Li Qiong and the others and go for the top priority instead?

Jin Wushu muttered to himself for a while, but Hua Rong was extremely impatient: "Fourth Prince, have you considered clearly? Do you want to die with us or do you want to do what you can? "

He simply said, "Okay!"

Hua Rong waved her hand, and gave a pill to her: "Since that's the case, take it!"

Jin Wushu was furious: "What are you doing?"

"Fourth Prince, my wife and I have paid a painful price, we can't just listen to your empty words. To be honest, this is a chronic poison, only I have the antidote. When those two conditions are met, that is when you are safe. "

Behind him, the ice-cold spearpoint was pressing against his back. Will he die today or will he live today? Without any hesitation, he took the pill and swallowed it. As the medicine reached his throat, the faint smell of blood melted in an instant. It was as if all the blood in his body had accelerated its circulation. He was flustered and exasperated. "Hua Rong, are you satisfied now?"

Hua Rong nodded.

Jin Wushu ruthlessly looked at the smile on her face. The beautiful singing and smiling face were all the venom of the beautiful female snake.

The woman opposite him also put away her bow and arrows, and a playful look appeared on her face, "Fourth Prince, you must really thank Wang Junhua. If not for her, we would not have been able to find you."

Jin Wushu almost vomited blood as he turned around and left with big strides.

In the morning, a palace maid came in to report, "Liu's wife, medical officer Wang requests to see you."

Xiao Liu lazily got up from the blanket. After entering the palace, she enjoyed the special treatment of a concubine. However, even after such a long time, there was still no news about her stomach. She had bribed Wang Jixian multiple times and had also searched for secret recipes, hoping to give birth to a girl to ascend the throne of the Queen. However, no matter how generous she was, Wang Jixian could do nothing about it. Hearing that Wang Jixian had come to visit her, he was overjoyed.

She put on some makeup and went out to meet Wang Jixian.

Wang Jixian was overjoyed: "Liu's wife, what a happy occasion."

"Lord Wang, where did your happiness come from?"

"This old man stumbled upon a secret formula and concocted a set of medicine. Not only does it nourish Yin and strengthen Yang, it also has a miraculous effect of bearing children …"

"Really? This is great. "

"To be honest, I have been developing this medicine for many years, but because I have never been certain, I do not dare to easily show it to others. "Last year, I took it myself. Both newly married concubinage gave birth to sons …"

It was a fact that Wang Jixian had married his concubine and had children. When the Xiao Liu heard the joyous news that came from the sky, he could not believe his ears. Wang Jixian took out a turquoise bottle from his bosom. The medicinal juice inside was crystal clear, with just a glance, one could feel its beautiful fragrance, sweet and delicious.

Wang Jixian lowered his voice, "Teach Liu's wife a lesson, this matter needs to be done with caution. Zhang's wife, Lady Wu, and more …" If he didn't continue, Xiao Liu would naturally understand what he meant. Wu Jinnu, Zhang Yingying, as his children, had requested for more from him before everything was settled, so naturally, they wouldn't reveal this to him. However, Wang Jixian weighed the pros and cons of the and he was much younger than the two, so he had a greater chance of having children. Thus, he naturally placed his bet on her, and in the future, he would be the one to accomplish great things.

Xiao Liu was deeply grateful. "Thank you, Lord Wang."

"Liu's wife, you must consume this medicine together with Shangguan Family to be effective …" He gave a detailed instructions on how to take the medicine, which Xiao Liu earnestly recorded down. After Wang Jixian left, she took the medicine bottle. The more she looked, the more she loved it, and she hid it firmly in her bosom. Her position as the queen was entirely dependent on this elixir.

On the Desk, there was a thick stack of memorials.

Zhao Deji raised his head and looked at Zou Dui who was in front of him. In these years since he ascended the throne, he had already thoroughly understood the path of a sovereign. He would never let his subjects touch upon your truest thoughts and allow them to speculate freely before he could revere the might of the heavens. All these years, he had taken on a few different prime ministers as if he was walking on horseback, thinking that he had already toyed with Qin Gui enough.

Qin Gui trembled in fear. "Your Majesty, these are all lies that have been used to frame this subject …"

Zhao Deji picked up one of the leaderboards and placed it down: "People say that they have framed us, but what about the word 'phase of grace'?"

Qin Gui's body trembled as he knelt on the ground: "This humble servant is stupid, I do not know about this." In his heart, he hated Zhao Deji so much that he had scolded his ancestors for three generations, yet he had no choice but to kneel down in submission. He thought, if this old man could stabilize his "Lifelong Prime Minister," then even if you are the Son of Heaven, why would he be afraid of you?

Zhao Deji said in an amiable tone, "Qin Qing, stand up and speak. As for the rumors in the outside world, we naturally will not easily believe them."

"Easy", these two words startled Qin Gui again. Xie En stood up, and spoke word by word, "Your Majesty, Yue Pengju is fierce, and he harbors hatred towards this subject, afraid that he will jump into a wall out of desperation …"

"Since the tiger has already entered the womb, it cannot return. In the past few days, have there been any developments in the Zhang Xian case? "

Qin Gui anxiously replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Yue Pengju's rebellious nature is obvious. According to the confessions of Wang Jun, Wang Gui and the others that were deployed in the army, he had repeatedly told the army that when the Taizu was thirty years old, it meant that he had used it because his family had not even reached the age of thirty. To compare himself to the Taizu, and even surpassing the Taizu, is the prelude to rebellion. When the Zhu Xian Town withdrew her troops, he was even more dissatisfied, and berated her majesty … " According to the rules of the time, he naturally could not speak of the contents of the reprimand, and had left Zhao Deji with no time to think about it.

Zhao Deji was the one who hated battles the most, he always thought that only by showing respect to the powerful officials in the capital could he become the Taiping Tianzi. His fear of the throne brought about by the martial uncle's domineering attitude, especially the change in Miao Liujun's attitude, had been deeply rooted in his fear of being forced to abdicate.

Qin Gui had long figured out his thoughts, and didn't even need to bother to look for too much evidence. Simply framing Yue Pengju as "comparing himself to the Taizu, with thirty years old as the limit" was already enough to put him to death.

"Yue Pengju had been living in the upper reaches for many years, levelling the dojo and retreating the Golden Army s. He was greedy for achievements and had ordered Li Ruoxu and the others to act imposingly, disobeying the imperial edict and defying the rules. He even used the family fire as an excuse to say that his son had been killed by bandits. In fact, it was sent to a secret stronghold. "All of this, the rebellious heart arrogantly demonstrates itself to the public …"

Zhao Deji said angrily: "We are magnanimous and we give him great authority. It was a pity that the military man was so domineering, revealing a vicious, rebellious look. In his letter, he requested for us to protect him. The heavens are kind, and we wish to protect our meritorious officials and do our best to protect them. However, how can we ignore the laws of the ancestors of Da Song? Qin Gui, you can order for Yue Pengju to be put in prison and be handed over to the Jail Temple Prison. Since there is an imperial edict, it has to be placed on the Proclamation of Liberation. This way, we won't die to protect Yue Pengju and will cripple all public laws. "You shall act now and await my decision …"

Qin Gui could tell the difference in expression between the two words, so he naturally understood that Zhao Deji's true intention was for him to do as he pleased and casually punish Yue Pengju. He was overjoyed and immediately accepted the order, "This official will not disappoint Your Majesty's request."

"I must settle this matter before the new year. I do not wish to delay it until New Year's Eve."

"This minister will surely allow His Majesty a happy and carefree Lantern Festival. Yue Pengju, we will negotiate and resolve this together. "

"What news from the Golden Man?"

"The Fourth Prince has a sky-high demand price, and they are not satisfied with the low level of officials." He feigned anger. "The captives were disloyal and took the empress dowager as a threat …"

Zhao Deji stood up and walked a few steps. "Since it's the silk that the people of the city want, we will keep all the fine silk that Supreme Commander Zhang Jun Chuan Shao brought back. We do not dare to easily use it, but now we can offer it to the people of the tribe …"

Even Qin Gui was surprised, Zhao Deji was actually so respectful to the person who killed his father, he was even willing to offer out the high grade silk cloth that he was unwilling to use to Fourth Prince. However, he said: "Since Your Majesty is so thrifty, my Da Song will definitely be in high spirits. With that, the people will be able to rest, the strength of the Da Song will be strengthened, and His Majesty will be passed on throughout the ages. "

Zhao Deji frowned, "The Empress Dowager shall return first when the negotiations are concluded. Otherwise, everything would be just empty talk. "

"Yes."

Qin Gui immediately drafted an official letter for Zhao Deji, and sent him a "Great Golden Field Marshal Lord". In the letter, he also used all sorts of obsequious words, such as "the emperor of the country, the virtuous one", and called himself "stupid and shallow, acted obediently and wrongly, begging to withdraw his troops first." Even the Da Song did not dare call himself a "commandery". In the future, Jin Wushu would personally collect this extremely despicable letter, and then, he would be very proud of himself for a few days.

After Qin Gui left, Zhao Deji heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the palace with a happy expression.

Zhang Yingying, Wu Jinnu, Xiao Liu and the others set up a feast and waited. He sat down, hugged Xiao Liu and drank a mouthful of wine to each other, and said to herself: "Since our first crossing to the south, I have rejected wolves, and welcomed tigers. Many days have passed since I last slept, and I am not willing to rest.

Zhang Yingying and the others naturally knew that "wolf" meant that Yue Pengju was unable to escape his doom. Since she could not continue, he could only praise and praise Zhao Deji. Zhao Deji hugged a beauty in each of his arms and said with infinite emotion, "We will only wish to have a feast with you in the future, we will have nothing more to do with each other."

This time, even Wu Jinnu was unable to continue. Only the Xiao Liu was still toasting and flirting with her. After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Deji drunkenly carried Xiao Liu to her room. Zhang Wu and Han Li looked at each other. Towards this man who they once loved, contempt grew in their hearts. However, they did not dare show it. They even had to pretend to be respectful and respectful.

Zhao Deji carried Xiao Liu to the bed. His spirits were raised, his desire was also aroused, the Xiao Liu was enchanting, and only his clothes were left on him.

Seeing the flowers in the mist, Xiao Liu always had an endless amount of fresh methods to attract his attention. His entire body was hot and dry. He hugged Xiao Liu, no longer harboring the fantasy of throwing away the aphrodisiac. Out of habit, he picked up the medicine on the table and took the aphrodisiac first. He also saw that the jade cup at the side of the table was actually as smooth as nectar and nectar. Xiao Liu took a sip first and then fed him another mouthful, "Shangguan Family, please drink this elixir …"

Zhao Deji took a sip, yet it was neither fishy nor sweet, and the fragrance instead assaulted his nose. Unable to contain his emotions, he drank it all in one gulp, then asked: "Where did you get this from?"

Xiao Liu's eyes were as bewitching as silk. "Shangguan Family, chenqie found this spirit medicine. chenqie only wishes to help Shangguan Family give birth to a dragon …"

Zhao Deji was already more or less disappointed with the Xiao Liu's "ability to give birth", he only thought that she had heard of the other party's method from somewhere. Zhang Wu Liu and the other two had already taken the prescription many times, and it had been of no use for many years, so he did not mind and casually said, "Liu's wife can indeed give birth to a prince, I will immediately make you the empress."

"Thank you, Shangguan Family, for your grace."
