It is not difficult to investigate what happened in the early court. There were so many ministers participating in the court meeting, and everyone saw it. No matter how bad it is, Lu Qipei is also facing up, and it will only take a moment for people to ask.
Therefore, not long after Qi Yang returned to the mansion, the dark guard sent to investigate came back, and found out more than what happened at the court meeting.
"Yesterday, King Wei and King Wu fought to no avail, and the two made their hands in front of the imperial palace, which also made His Majesty furious. This morning, King Wu was injured and His Majesty refused to let him participate, but he still came and presented a letter at the same time. The memorial for disaster relief. It is said that the memorial was very well written, and His Majesty praised it a lot after reading it. King Wu took advantage of the situation and grabbed the disaster relief errand from His Majesty." The dark guard was half-knelt on the ground and said in a succinct manner.
After hearing this, Qi Yang asked, "What did King Wei say?"
The dark guard replied: "King Wei won it, but he didn't win King Wu, and he was reprimanded by His Majesty. He said that he was only interested in self-interest, and it was not as diligent as King Wu, and he was still thinking about sharing his worries for the king when he was injured."
Qi Yang wanted to laugh when she heard this, she didn't know that her father and emperor could say such a thing, as if she didn't know that King Wu's Feng Zuoshu was caught by someone else. But when it came to catching a knife, she asked again, "Who wrote the letter on disaster relief?"
The dark guard knew that she might ask, and even checked this: "It's a staff member of King Wu's mansion. In the early years, King Wu was weak, and his aides were not very successful. Now King Wu has the opportunity to emerge, the mansion. The staff are all dedicated."
Qi Yang was not surprised when he heard it. But after thinking about it, I felt that if the staff was really talented, it would be strange to vote for the weak King Wu early. Not to mention the Crown Prince's East Palace, replaced by the original King of Qi, King of Chu, and even the King of Wei who is still here, which seems to be more worthy of assistance without King Wu - as far as Qi Yang is concerned, she really didn't see anything in King Wu. The image of Ming Jun.
Thinking about it like this, I became concerned again. Qi Yang turned his head and ordered someone to go to the East Palace again to see if he could find the letter of honor that King Wu presented today. She wanted to see how well written it was.
And just before Qi Yang got the letter, King Wu had already led people out of the capital, galloping on horseback and in high spirits.
The official business of Dali Temple has never been short. Lu Qipei was busy in the Dali Temple for another day, and did not return until the evening sun. When she came back, Qi Yang was still frowning at the Feng Zuo Shu.
Lu Qipei went around behind the screen, and while changing into his regular clothes, he asked, "What's the matter, what is your Highness looking at?"
When Qi Yang waited for her to change her clothes and come out, he raised her hand to make a note and replied, "I'm looking at the disaster relief note that King Wu presented to his father this morning. I've read it, it's well written, and I've considered every aspect. Really. If you want to execute it like this, you are a stunned young man with little experience, and you can also handle the errand well. And going here as King of Wu is enough to hold the scene."
Lu Qipei nodded nonchalantly, sat down beside Qi Yang, and took her tea to drink: "That's good. It's the first time that King Wu has done such an errand. He must do his best, and the people can suffer less."
Qi Yang glanced at her and ignored her drinking his own tea, only frowning and said, "But this memorial is so well-written, it must not be a ghostwriter for ordinary people. How could there be such a talented person under King Wu? Or, he With such a capable person under his command, why did he wait until now to emerge?"
Mingzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and this flood is not as serious as a river bursting its banks. In the final analysis, its impact is limited. And King Wu wanted to stand out, but it wasn't that there was no better chance before, but he chose this one, and even fought with King Wei to the point of bloodshed. Qi Yang really couldn't understand what was involved.
Lu Qipei rubbed the tea cup with his fingers, thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is something I didn't tell His Highness."
Qi Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What is it?"
Lu Qipei's eyes drooped slightly and replied, "In the past three years, I have taken over most of the power from Qi Bo, and the connection with the north has gradually diminished. Xie Yuan should have noticed it. Then warn me. But I think with Xie Yuan's temperament, he will do more than that, and after this incident, he probably won't trust me any more. "
Qi Yang understood, but first grabbed Lu Qipei's arm and asked, "You said that the last time the envoy came to Beijing to warn you, when was it? What did he do, why didn't you tell me?!"
She spoke sternly, obviously a little angry, and at the same time a little scared - Lu Qipei had too many secrets, and just taking one out would be enough to put them both in a doomed situation. Especially since this secret is still in the hands of the enemy.
Of course Lu Qipei understood Qi Yang's concerns, his brows eased slightly, and he smiled: "A Ning don't have to worry, he can't let go of me easily."
Qi Yang didn't believe it, her brows furrowed even tighter: "Why can't you give up? That's a ruthless man! Xie Hongyi back then was also his parent and son, he didn't give up, he didn't do anything for the benefit of him. come out?!"
This remark made Lu Qipei's heart tremble slightly - times have changed, and looking back, it seems that the truth of the year can be easily pieced together. It is nothing more than the newly established Rongguo, the domestic contradictions are many, and there are different opinions on the use of troops. In the end, the death of Xie Hongyi contributed to that war. It seems that Yu Rongguo did not benefit much now, but it was the choice of Xie Yuan and Emperor Rong at that time.
The reason why Xie Hongyi was abandoned back then was probably because he was young and willful, out of Xie Yuan's control, and insisting on the troubles caused by Liang Guo and his party. He was young and frivolous. He knew that there was a person like Lu Qipei in the Liang country. He had been competing with her for a long time, but he didn't know how much trouble Lu Qipei could cause to Lu Qipei just by his face.
Xie Yuan laid out in Liang Guo, and Lu Qipei was also an important part of it. Xie Hongyi's actions annoyed him. And the reason why Xie Yuan is so ruthless and ruthless towards the parent and child is actually only because Xie Hongyi has half of the blood of the grassland Rong Di.
Lu Qipei and Qi Yang have never met Xie Yuan, but they have known him for many years, but they have found that he is a selfish, fierce and arrogant person.
Judging from his character, I am afraid that the war between the two countries was entirely caused by him. The Rong Kingdom that he single-handedly supported was nothing but a means for him to compete with the Liang Kingdom. If both sides lost in a war, it would be the situation he most wanted to see.
Unfortunately, Rongguo failed to take advantage in the end. But Xie Yuan is not a loser. After all, the prince of the Liang Kingdom was tossed half his life by him, and the loss of the prince is also a fatal crisis for the inheritance of the Liang Kingdom...
The two looked at each other, somewhat silent.
After a while, Qi Yang finally calmed down. She raised her hand and stroked her forehead, and said, "I'm impatient. You have your own thoughts. But if you can't handle it, you must tell me."
Lu Qipei nodded, Shen Ning's eyebrows relaxed, and a gentle smile: "Well, I know."
Seeing her like this, Qi Yang eased her brows, and she brought the topic back again: "Okay, let's continue talking about King Wu. In A Pei's meaning, King Wu's change has something to do with Xie Yuan?"
At the moment, Lu Qipei was noncommittal: "Perhaps, the recent situation is really hard to say. Back then, when I pulled King Chu off the horse, it was just for a moment, and I killed chickens and monkeys for the prince by the way. Who knew that something happened to King Qi, and now King Wei and Wu are the only ones left. the king..."
Qi Yang lowered his eyes and remembered his previous life: "Could it be that Xie Yuan chose King Wu to support him this time?"
In the previous life, Xie Yuan forced the prince to death, and supported the third prince to ascend the throne, using him to control the situation. Even if Qi Yang and Lu Qipei couldn't see the end, judging from the situation at that time and the ability of the third prince himself, the subversion of Liang's regime seemed inevitable. Now that the third prince has passed away, according to the experience of the previous life, it seems reasonable for Xie Yuan to change someone to support him.
Qi Yang sometimes gets tired of thinking about it, and doesn't know if her brothers are really stupid, or if the emperor never planned to train them well from the beginning, after all, apart from the prince, none of them can do anything.
However, Lu Qipei heard Qi Yang's guess but did not respond. She always felt that it was not like this. But to be specific, it seems that I can't understand my thoughts for a while.
In the end, Qi Yang sighed and said: "Forget it, King Wu just left the capital today, and it will take a month or two less to talk about it when he returns from disaster relief. Let's take a look at the next thing later, let's talk about it later." He added another sentence: "However, the aide under King Wu can look at it first to see if he really assists King Wu, or if he has other plans."
Lu Qipei nodded this time, agreeing with Qi Yang's words, and thought that it would be best to send someone to the Wei Palace to check.
The two put aside these heavy topics for a while, Qi Yang turned to relax again, got up and took Lu Qipei's arm and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark, and dinner isn't used yet. Let's go to Shuixie to eat, it's cool there. ."
Of course Lu Qipei followed her. When the two stepped out of the room, it was almost dusk.
At this time, the heat of the day has not yet dissipated, and after going out for a while, you will be able to be sweated by the heat. Fortunately, it is really cool on the waterside, the night wind blows away the heat, and there are insects and frogs that are not interesting.
After dinner, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang took a cool break in the waterside pavilion, and they didn't go back to their room to rest until the middle of the moon.
The two of them were lying on the couch at night. Thinking of being left out for the past few days, Lu Qipei dawdled and approached Qi Yang. In the past, I didn't think that the bed was very big, but now it seems that people realize that it is too spacious.
Qi Yang closed his eyes and listened to the rustling in his ears, wondering what Lu Qipei was doing. She was a little funny, but she still closed her eyes and said nothing until there was an obvious heat source around her, and then she said, "Don't get too close, it's hot."
The rustling movement stopped, but an arm was still on Qi Yang's waist.
He tightened his arms slightly and took the person into his arms. Lu Qipei leaned into Qi Yang's ear and whispered aggrievedly: "In the past, you didn't dislike heat, but now you say that, you just dislike me, right?"
In the darkness, even if he couldn't see each other's faces clearly, Qi Yang seemed to be able to think of Lu Qipei's expression at the moment. The corners of her lips pursed slightly, and before she had time to speak, she felt a damp heat on her earlobe, which was already held in her mouth.
Immediately, the warm body covered her, completely pressing her under her body...
