Zhao Deji turned around and saw that she was carefully dressed up. Although she was a mature woman, her eyebrows and eyes were still full of enchanting charm, with a hint of viciousness and lust. This was one of the reasons why he had "sexual interest" in this woman. He He smiled and said: "The Jin army has withdrawn from Sichuan and Shaanxi. Qin Hui has made great achievements this time..."
The Jin army withdrew from Sichuan and Shaanxi entirely because Wu Jie's son Wu Lin defeated Saili. However, Jin Wushu made public opinion, and Qin Hui's clever words and tricks all contributed to Qin Hui's peace talks.
"Qin Hui shall swear allegiance to the officials to the death."
Zhao Deji said with a smile: "I have been the emperor for these years, and I have spent most of my time in fear of fleeing. Now that the peace talks have been initially decided, I hope that I can have a peaceful and happy New Year before New Year's Eve... "
Wang Junhua observed the words, thought carefully, and understood that the officials wanted to write down the Song and Jin peace talks before New Year's Eve. However, his "happy" package did not include killing Yue Pengju before New Year's Eve? She said casually: "I heard from the Jin Kingdom that the fourth prince's request is that as long as Yue Pengju is killed, a peace agreement can be signed."
Zhao Deji regarded her as an informant around Qin Hui, but at this time he did not know that Qin Hui already had the talisman of "prime minister for life". He was very proud of how he deposed Qin Hui a year and a half after the peace talks. Of course, he did not reveal it to Wang Junhua. , said: "Yue Peng can reach the capital in three or two days. Once he comes back, he will naturally be a tiger in the cage... "
After Wang Junhua determined the date of Yue Pengju's death, he was already sure in his heart, and then he said: "Recently, Yue Pengju's close generals have been active in activities. If Yue Pengju does not return for a day, he is afraid of something unexpected..."
Because Sun Ge, Yu Peng and others wrote letters to refute, Zhao Deji had already become wary. If a group of scribes worked so hard for the warriors, wouldn't it shake the Song Dynasty's foundation of guarding against military generals? Moreover, it would not work if Yue Pengju was arrested as soon as he returned to Lin'an. In this way, it would be more difficult to silence Youyou. He not only wanted to get rid of Yue Pengju, but also maintained his "benevolent monarch" style, and at the same time did not violate the "not to kill ministers" left by his ancestor Zhao Taizu. "How to operate the oath is really a lot of trouble.
"Qin Hui is ordered to quickly continue to collect strong evidence of Yue Pengju's crime."
Wang Junhua said happily: "If you cut the grass without eradicating the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Yue Pengju has long been disobedient, and his son's stay will still be a disaster..."
Zhao Deji pondered for a moment. It was not that he had not thought about this problem, but at this time he was full of hope in getting Hua Rong. If he killed her son, according to her temper, she would definitely refuse to die.
Seeing his hesitation, Wang Junhua judged that the mysterious woman in Zhang Quwei's mouth must be Hua Rong. Zhao Deji had been interested in Hua Rong for a long time. Although she had always despised Zhao Deji in her heart, she did not want to be with her again. The man who was cheating on her loved other women more than herself. What made her proud was that she could have the three most powerful men from Song and Jin Dynasties: Jin Wushu, Zhao Deji, and Qin Hui at the same time. Ruo Huarong favored her more than herself. , shouldn’t this sense of superiority be greatly reduced
She came up with a plan and said, "I have often heard people talk about it, saying that Hua Rong relied on his lucky escort in the past to be very domineering. He held a banquet for guests in Yiyuan and spread the word about Taizu's oath not to kill heroes. To create public opinion, it was expected that the officials would not dare to kill her. The officials were kind-hearted and tolerated her and her son, which was really a benevolent manner. Not only was she ungrateful, but she also took advantage of her. My concubine met her by chance yesterday and even made her laugh... "
She was making random nonsense. Hua Rong lived in seclusion in Yiyuan. The two had never met each other, but Zhao Deji heard the clue: "You said you saw Hua Rong yesterday?"
Wang Junhua let the news slip, so he had to bite the bullet and thought, does it matter whether he has met Hua Rong or not? He immediately continued the lie smoothly: "The Nu family never saw her and Li Yian wandering on the street. They are keen on dating talented women and men, just to create public opinion in their favor... "
"How dare she lie to me..."
Zhao Deji's complexion changed drastically, and he randomly found an excuse to ask Wang Junhua to retreat. Wang Junhua didn't understand what she said wrong, but seeing Zhao Deji's condition, she immediately guessed that it was not good for Hua Rong. She thought tactfully, overjoyed, and said to herself as she walked Said to himself: "God is really helping me..."
As soon as Wang Junhua left, Zhao Deji couldn't sit still anymore. He only knew that Hua Rong was "begging for a son" for him in the Buddhist hall, but who knew that she was hanging out with her son? Isn’t it true that criminals deceive the king? There was another unspeakable secret in his heart: Did he get what he wanted from Hua Rong that day? ! This has always been a major question in his mind. He has a deep mind. In this kind of matter, he knows that a man cannot completely forget any details. No matter how he recalls that day, he just held Hua Rong's hand. And , Hua Rong has always been stubborn. Even if it was because he cherished his son, didn't he give in too quickly that day
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he said loudly: "Jiang Kang Qi."
Eunuch Kang came in staggeringly. Knowing that something was wrong, he immediately knelt down. Zhao Deji shouted: "You are so bold, my servant, why don't you recruit me from the truth?"
Eunuch Kang asked in a trembling voice: "The official... What did the youngster do..."
"Did I really visit Hua Rong that day? If you dare to tell lies, I will definitely kill you..."
Eunuch Kang was so frightened that his head was as big as a fight. He knew that this desolate and foolish king had finally discovered the truth. However, he gritted his teeth and dared not admit it no matter what. He could only say: "The official... That day, it was true, it was true." of… "
"Really what?"
He secretly scolded you for the details of your involvement. If you don't know it yourself, who knows? But what came out of his mouth was: "You guys all heard that voice... from the official family, from Hua Rong..." He boldly asked, "Is it because Hua Rong didn't serve her well?"
Because of that night, Zhao Deji often proudly showed his manliness in front of the eunuchs. Now, how could he easily admit that he was still "not good"? He refused to admit this humiliating thought.
Seeing that there was no flaw in Eunuch Kang's words, he was sure that Eunuch Kang could not deceive him because of Yue Pengju and his wife, but he could not figure out the reason. He changed his mind and said immediately: "Let's go to the Queen Mother's Buddhist Hall immediately. Don't disturb anyone..."
Eunuch Kang secretly complained, but he had to prepare secretly immediately and accompany Zhao Deji to the Buddhist hall.
Because Zhao Deji had doubts, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, a kind of anger at being fooled or never succeeding. Fortunately, Xiao Liu always used aphrodisiacs, so there was no reason for him to be "proud" without any memory.
And Tianwei. He had already been suspicious of Tianwei because of Concubine Wei Xian's autograph, and his heart was as bright as a mirror. His biological mother must have been afraid that Tianwei would expose her scandalous behavior in the Kingdom of Jin.
Which one is more important, Tianwei or her biological mother? He had already weighed the weight. Now that he thought about Tianwei and Hua Rong joining forces to deceive the emperor, he couldn't bear it.
After the first rain in early winter, the grass and trees in "Yiyuan" withered and turned yellow all over. Even the evergreens and honeysuckle looked weak. Some of the splendens on the ground bloomed with small scarlet flowers. They were no longer surrounded by bees and butterflies, and it was very lonely.
A palace servant was led by a maid and quietly came in. He found Hua Rong in the garden with an anxious expression: "Mrs. Yue, princess, please go to the Buddhist hall immediately..." Hua Rong was startled and immediately understood that it was Zhao Deji who wanted to make a surprise inspection. .
She immediately entrusted the child to Li Yian and rushed to the Queen Mother's Buddhist Hall on horseback.
The Queen Mother's Buddhist Hall is adjacent to the palace. Because of the southern crossing, the Lin'an Palace at this time was smaller than the size of the palace in the past. Although it also had a simple four-door palace, its scale and layout were not as impressive as those of the wealthy houses in Tokyo. The Empress Dowager's Buddhist hall is located on the side of the women's concubine's attic. It was originally a local nunnery. Because the Jin army went south, the incense faded. After the Empress Dowager arrived in Lin'an, she did not want to deal with the already crowded harem and the women's concubines, so she invited herself behind the scenes. After her death, Zhao Deji enlarged the size of the Buddhist hall in order to commemorate her. Some female relatives of the harem came here to pray for gods and Buddhas, and of course most of them came to pray for children.
It was getting late, and a special worshiper came to the Buddhist hall, it was Zhang Yingying. Tianwei had no friendship with her, but he was grateful for her cooperation with him to save Hua Rong last time, and Tianwei was about to salute her. But he saw her kneeling under a Guanyin Guanyin, mumbling something, but her eyes were looking at him.
Tianwei felt very surprised and pretended to be casual and walked over and knelt on the futon next to her. Zhang Yingying almost said with her lips: "Tell Mrs. Yue to go back to the Buddhist hall quickly, 'he' has become suspicious..."
Recently, they all refer to Zhao Deji as "he", and the "official family" in the past seems to be a distant thing that can no longer be mentioned.
Tianwei didn't know why Zhao Deji became suspicious, and just as she was about to say something, Zhang Yingying had already stood up, smiled faintly at her, left the Buddhist hall and returned to the palace.
Tianwei saw the panic in her eyes and became even more uneasy. She immediately realized that Brother Jiu might have noticed something. She hurried to the door to look around, but the messenger had just left. How could Hua Rong come back so quickly
She waited anxiously for an unknown amount of time. The sky was completely dark, and the oil lamps in the Buddhist hall were extinguished. In front of the Queen Mother's tomb, the colors of the fruits were red and green, and the smoke was lingering, like a strange and unpredictable world.
Tianwei knelt until her legs and feet were numb, and her mind became increasingly confused. Suddenly a voice sounded in her ears: "Tianwei, where is Hua Rong?"
She almost jumped up in shock. Brother Ninth actually came in without any notice. He really came to attack suddenly.
Seeing her frightened expression, Zhao Deji became even more suspicious and said angrily: "Where is Hua Rong?"
She didn't know how to answer, so she hesitated and said: "Mrs. Yue...she...Mrs. Yue...she..."
"Tianwei, you are so bold, you dare to join forces with Hua Rong to deceive me."
Tianwei was so anxious that she almost cried: "Brother Ninth, calm down, Brother Ninth... I didn't lie to you..."
"No? What about Hua Rong? Didn't you vow to work with her to beg a child for me? Where is she now?"
Tianwei couldn't answer at all. Zhao Deji sneered: "Has Hua Rong escaped? And you are her accomplice, right?"
"Brother Ninth..."
"You're such a slutty little maid..." Zhao Deji raised his hand and gave Tianwei a slap in the face. Tianwei never thought that Brother Ninth, whom she had respected since childhood, would actually hit her. She was so shocked that she covered her face and also Not daring to cry, I just looked up at him and asked blankly: "Brother Ninth, what did I do wrong?"
"You still don't know you're wrong? You teamed up with Hua Rong and played with me..."
"Your Majesty, the princess did not lie to you!"
