He spoke resolutely, and Feng Zhiwei couldn't hold on any longer, she got up and sat back, thinking in her heart, what is the old guy trying to do for putting on one high hat after another today
Thinking of the phrase "the joke of neighboring countries", and suddenly remembering a piece of information that Zong Chen had provided him, his heart was shocked, and he vaguely guessed something.
No way…
"Wei Zhi." She hadn't finished her thoughts on this side, but Tian Shengdi said on the other side, "I have something for you to come over." He said and handed over a gold-plated letter.
Feng Zhiwei picked it up, and opened it to see that it was a post for Tiansheng on the birthday of the Regent of Xiliang.
Her pupils shrank - Xiliang was actually split from Tiansheng back then, and the old emperor Yin Zhiliang, who had passed away, was originally the favorite general of Emperor Tiansheng. For this reason, Tiansheng and Xiliang had a bad relationship, and almost never Traveling back and forth, southern Fujian and Longbei, which border Xiliang, guarded the country's gates tightly, but this generation of Xiliang has just undergone a downturn-Yin Zhiliang passed away, the emperor was young, and the regent was in charge of the power. The regent roughly implemented It is a national policy of domestic expansion and friendly relations with foreign countries. It has repeatedly shown goodwill to neighboring countries. In the past, Tiansheng was a big country, so it was natural to ignore it. The Changning feudal clan between Longbei and Longbei was ready to move again. Emperor Tiansheng was probably afraid that if he rejected Xiliang, Xiliang would instead collude with Changning and cause trouble for himself, so he was ready to accept Xiliang's overtures.
Feng Zhiwei showed a wry smile—showing this to herself at this time, it is obvious what it means.
No wonder it is a reward and a high hat, and it turns out that people are required to take risks.
Sure enough, Emperor Tiansheng said with a smile: "Wei Zhi, just now you said that you have not achieved an inch of merit and have no advancement, but now you have an opportunity. The regent of Xiliang has invited our country to watch the ceremony on the 40th birthday. You have been an envoy. Nanhai, I am familiar with that side, and I have always been generous and prudent. I want to use you as my official envoy to Xiliang. I think that with your talents, you will be able to be neither humble nor overbearing. You can subdue the barbarians in Xiliang without falling into my prestige in heaven. of."
Not only do you want to make good friends with the enemy country you have always been, but you also have to subdue the barbarians and not lose your prestige—you think I am a god!
Feng Zhiwei was full of slander, but at this moment she couldn't say anything, no wonder this group of people were mysterious a few days ago, no wonder the old nonsense said "I count on you", it turned out that he had made up his mind a long time ago, Tian Shengdi is headstrong , It belongs to oneself, and no one can change the result.
She had no choice but to kneel down to thank En to accept the decree and show her loyalty. Emperor Tiansheng looked at her with satisfaction, and said: "You are supposed to be an envoy to Xiliang, but you still have a task. Let me keep an eye on Changning Fan. Xiliang, I'm afraid there will be some collusion, you should be careful."
You know that Changning and Xiliang are in collusion, and the two enemies are watching over there, and you still send me there? Feng Zhiwei pinched her fingers silently, with a dignified and peaceful smile on her face, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of the southwest gate for you, if something sticks out with its claws, just cut it off."
Emperor Tiansheng laughed comfortably, and said: "Don't be alarmed too much, just a restraint is fine, I believe you have a sense of proportion."
Feng Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, and sneered in his heart, the so-called mission is just a side mission, the real important thing is to check the movements of Changning Fan, right? In this way, this mission is very dangerous. Xiliang has not yet established diplomatic relations, and it is still an enemy country, and it is a tiger; although Changning is named as a foreign vassal, it has a different mind, and it is a wolf; this wolf and tiger are entrenched in the southwest. , I have to hit the door myself!
Now it seems that this second-class marquis is really too cheap!
Feng Zhiwei held back her anger and resigned angrily. Before leaving, she passed the eunuch Jia Eunuch, and heard him ask Emperor Tiansheng in a low voice, "Your Majesty... Concubine Shu's father has been imprisoned for his involvement in the unnamed green forest case, and her mother died early." , see if you are notifying other people to enter the palace..."
"No need! Just send the bones back out of the palace!" Emperor Tiansheng's answer could be heard through the partition door, and the viciousness of gnashing of teeth could be heard.
Feng Zhiwei stopped on the threshold and paused.
Concubine Shu is dead.
This concubine, who colluded with the second prince and played a role in the case of Shao Ning's disappearance, lost everything by making one mistake, buried her family's glory, and also cost her own life.
Just, why today
Was it Shao Ning's hand
What happened yesterday, when Shao Ning thinks back to the palace, she must be able to understand what happened that night, such as who instigated her to meet Wei Zhi privately at night.
She thought it through clearly, and naturally she would not let Concubine Shu go.
But Feng Zhiwei didn't expect that Shao Ning would strike so quickly, presumably she also knew that she was going out of the palace, and after leaving the palace, it would not be easy to take revenge on Concubine Shu who was in the deep palace, so she simply did it that night.
Shao Ning's cruelty and determination are already stronger than her own brother's. Getting along with Feng Zhiwei is just a little more gentle and shy because of the girl's affection. If she really wants to make a move, Feng Zhiwei suspects that she may not be too ruthless she.
Facing the sunlight, Feng Zhiwei squinted her eyes, kept a sigh in her heart, and stepped out the door.
When she left the palace, she saw a plain chariot parked next to her sedan chair. A few eunuchs waved their whisks to greet her, and said in a low voice, "Marquis Wei, Your Majesty ordered you to escort the princess into the imperial temple."
Feng Zhiwei was silent for a moment, then nodded, and when passing the chariot, he bowed slightly, and saw a bit of broken glass shining on the side of the chariot.
Her eyes flicked across the glass, then she turned away and got into her sedan chair.
The Imperial Temple is not far from the Wei Mansion, almost across the street. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Etiquette jointly supervised the construction, all the houses around the original Imperial Temple were moved away, and a small street was specially built. It is not known that it is convenient for the princess to clean up. From time to time, I came to ask Marquis Wei for advice on Buddhism or something. The very quiet street without any other people led directly to the back door of Wei Mansion.
On the day when the imperial temple was completed, Feng Zhiwei shook her head and smiled wryly at that wonderful street, thinking that Emperor Tiansheng was also a wonderful person, as expected, he was the kind of person who was solemn on the surface but had a bit of absurd evil in his heart. This imperial temple, In the eyes of a discerning person, isn't it a real place for him to have an affair with the princess
"Princess, the imperial temple is here, do you need to get off the sedan chair?" She asked through the curtain.
I thought Shao Ning would come out, but I didn't want the sedan chair to be quiet for a while, then Shao Ning said: "No, just carry it in."
