72 CHAPTER 71

Hearing Yang Yi insist on saying what had been discussed and determined before, the corners of Zheng Xiang's mouth curled slightly, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

Although he didn't know why the emperor was respectful and afraid of the Wei family, he could see that the emperor was unwilling to let her go no matter what. In this way, things are simpler. frightened the emperor and told him that if he let her go, she would leave sooner or later, so that the emperor would naturally try to suppress the inexplicable fear in his heart and follow his "advice". How about this Wei family is favored? After all, she is just an ignorant woman and child in the harem, as long as the emperor says a word, she has to go back to her Yanxi Palace and be her imperial concubine!

"You mean, you're going to break your promise, and what you promised me doesn't count?" Wei Yunqing was stunned and asked with a calm face.

At the beginning, Lord Sun asked her to assist Yang Yi, she had no choice but to respond, and after his death, she had to fulfill her promise, but she did not tell Yang Yi the truth, but took it as a sweetness to stay in the palace with peace of mind, and asked Yang Yi to promise to listen to her and be a good emperor. Later, seeing that he really couldn't support the wall, she had to change her strategy, but the initial transaction was still there.

Yang Yi was stunned, didn't dare to look at Wei Yunqing's eyes, and said loudly as if he was bold: "How can state affairs be child's play?" ”

"Good, good!" Wei Yunqing said two good words in a row, his breathing gradually became short, and his face became more and more solemn, "Then you let me see, how do you manage this country!" With a look of contempt, she turned away.

The people of Yanxi Palace followed in a hula, and the Qianqing Palace was empty, and the huge courtyard was so quiet that the sound of a needle landing on the ground could be heard.

"Your Majesty, you are really brave, this is the majesty that a king of a country should have!" Zheng Xiang was happy in his heart, and he also patted Yang Yi with joy on his face.

However, Yang Yi just looked at the direction Wei Yunqing left, and only turned around and went back to the palace until her back disappeared. Just now he was chasing ducks to the shelves, and he had to persevere, but he didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do so. This is also the reason why he listened to Zheng Xiang's words and insisted on talking to her outside instead of meeting alone, if he met in private, I am afraid that he would easily change his mind under her ugly face.

And now, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and he has already regretted it as soon as he left. Sister Yunqing...... I must hate him at this moment, right? Even if she said to see how he managed the beam, her eyes were only disdainful, and she didn't believe that he could be a good emperor at all. Himself...... I don't believe it either. He had believed it before, but he was not a reading material at all, and he couldn't even learn the principles of governing the country, so how could he govern this huge country?

Wei Yunqing led a group of people back to Yanxi Palace, leaving only Lantian and Lucui to serve, her face was unswerving, staring at the ground in a daze.

Lucui served refreshments, and Lantian comforted: "Niangniang, don't worry, the emperor is just confused for a while, and he will definitely understand soon." ”

Lan Tian is currently Wei Yunqing's most trusted person in the palace, and many things about Wei Yunqing will pass through her, so she knows most of Wei Yunqing's things. Coupled with his past experience in Jinyang, Lantian has realized from the bottom of his heart that Wei Yunqing is not the kind of ordinary palace concubine, who can only do nothing in the palace until he dies. Therefore, no matter whether Wei Yunqing was working against the emperor, or entering the cabinet to fight wits and courage with the ministers, she was calm and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Now that the emperor has withdrawn his message, Lantian is also anxious when he thinks that Wei Yunqing has to return to the position of the palace concubine, but he can only cheer up and comfort Wei Yunqing.

"With Zheng Xiang by his side, I'm afraid he won't understand." Wei Yunqing replied wistfully. She knew that Zheng Xiang was not easy to get along with, and after failing to keep Yang Yi away from Zheng Xiang before, she vaguely understood that sooner or later she would be planted in Zheng Xiang's hands. And this day came so quickly.

"Niangniang, don't think about it too much, you have been suffering with the emperor since you were outside the palace, and the emperor will not be deceived by Gonggong Zheng's words in three or two sentences, he will definitely understand." Lantian could only comfort Wei Yunqing with such weak words.

"I hope so." Wei Yunqing said quietly. She actually didn't believe that Yang Yi could be relieved by Zheng Xiang's non-stop brainwashing, but she couldn't make the people around her worry too much.

"Niangniang will definitely be able to make her wish come true!" Lucui is not as good as Lantian can speak, and he finally held back such a sentence at this moment.

Wei Yunqing smiled, and also received Lu Cui's heart.

After a while, someone came to report that it was Gonggong Huang, who was next to Gonggong Cao, who asked to see him.

Wei Yunqing immediately called someone in.

That Huang Gonggong is actually only seventeen or eighteen years old, named Huang Bajin, and it is said that he weighed eight catties when he was born, which is why he got this name. He is an apprentice brought by Cao Jun, and he used to come to Yanxi Palace with Cao Jun, so he is familiar with the people of Yanxi Palace. Cao Jun also clearly told Wei Yunqing that Huang Bajin was his confidant, his own person, and there was basically no need to avoid him if there was something. Cao Jun has always called him Bajin, Wei Yunqing is older than Huang Bajin, and he also calls him that way with Cao Jun on weekdays.

As soon as Huang Bajin came in at this time, Wei Yunqing looked at his face and knew that the situation was not good, his heart sank, but his face was not too revealing, and he only said: "Bajin, does Gonggong Cao have something to pass on to me?" ”

"Exactly, mother!" Huang Bajin immediately nodded, and inadvertently looked around, seeing that there were only two people in the palace, Lantian and Lucui, knowing that these two were also Wei Yunqing's henchmen, so he said directly, "Hui Niangniang, the master asked me to tell Niangniang, yesterday the emperor personally told him that he should not come to Yanxi Palace again...... His old man was in a hurry at the moment, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to send the little one over. ”

first cut off her contacts with the cabinet, and secondly, most of her sources were extinguished, Yang Yi's hand is really enough.

However, Wei Yunqing didn't think that this was from Yang Yi's idea, if there was no Zheng Xiang behind his back, how could Yang Yi think of this?

"Bajin, you go and tell your master, let him stand still first, do what he has to do, be careful not to let Zheng Xiang catch the handle. I will find a way to deal with this, and your master is also staring at Zheng Xiang and the cabinet, if there is any change, come and tell me quickly. Wei Yunqing said. For the current situation, she actually has no bottom in her heart, but in order to calm the hearts of her allies, she can naturally only make a confident appearance, so as not to mess up.

Sure enough, seeing that Wei Yunqing seemed to be prepared, the panic that Huang Bajin had when he first came in had gradually subsided. He nodded again and again and said, "The little one must tell the master what Niangniang said." The master is still waiting for the little one, and the little one will go back first. ”

"Go ahead, be careful on the road." Wei Yunqing said. Although Huang Bajin is not Cao Jun, the fact that he is Cao Jun's apprentice is well known, and he came to Yanxi Palace to be cautious, after all, it is not good to disobey Yang Yi's orders with great fanfare. But even if someone finds out in secret, it doesn't matter, if you really want to be more serious, Yang Yi just didn't let Cao Jun come over, and he didn't stop Huang Bajin, there is still room for maneuver.

After Huang Bajin left, Wei Yunqing let Lucui and Lantian go out, and stayed in the palace alone.

Yang Yi had played back and forth with her many times before, but this time, she felt a little tricky. Yang Yi has Zheng Xiang, an old fox, by her side, and she is bound to do things, and it will be very difficult to make Yang Yi change her mind like the previous few times.

But...... No matter how difficult it is, she has to do it, she can't really be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life.

Yang Yi cut off Wei Yunqing's way in and out of the inner and outer courts, but he didn't lock her up like he had done before, she could still move around, just like an ordinary palace concubine. It's just that she has always considered herself a "supernumerary", and Yang Yi also acquiesced to this, so her position in the palace is very special, and she can be regarded as free from the harem personnel.

The Winter Solstice Festival is approaching, and the palace is gradually having a festive atmosphere. The stalemate with the Great Song Dynasty is only reflected in the frontier, and there is no such tension in the harem, after all, it is far away, even if it is mentioned, it is just a topic for everyone in the harem, and there is no sense of reality.

Wei Yunqing later tried to find Yang Yi a few times, but was stopped by Zheng Xiang, and she didn't break in. Cao Jun still had news from there, so she was surprised to learn that when she went to the Qianqing Palace to find someone, Yang Yi actually went to discuss with the cabinet. It's as if the words he said at the gate of the Qianqing Palace before were not jokes.

For such news, Wei Yunqing's heart is generally more happy than worried. If Yang Yi can work her own, it will naturally be better than working as hard as she is now.

According to the news from Cao Jun's side, Yang Yi did not change his strategy towards the Great Song Dynasty, Wen Huai found a new envoy to replace the original ones, and handed over the important task of peace talks, without giving people a chance to stay in Beijing for the winter solstice, and sent them out directly.

As for Yang Yi's performance in the cabinet, it can only be said that it is ...... He clocked in and out on time. According to Wen Huai, when the ministers were deliberating, Yang Yi sat aside and listened carefully, but the problem was that when Mao Yirong and the others asked him for his opinion after discussing the issue, he rarely had any thoughts of his own - he couldn't understand it, let alone make suggestions. But even if he can understand it, he doesn't know anything about state affairs, and I'm afraid he will make jokes about why he doesn't eat minced meat.

Hearing this, Wei Yunqing was not much disappointed. What kind of person Yang Yi is, she already knows. Now that he can stay in the cabinet and listen to their deliberations, and try to listen to things he doesn't understand, it can be regarded as an improvement. She even had a faint expectation of more, and she didn't even feel so sad about the current difficult situation.

The day before the winter solstice, Yang Yi led his ministers to the Temple of Heaven to hold a ceremony to worship the sky.

It's just that before the ceremony was over, everyone was stunned by the sudden news.

- In the north, the Great Song Dynasty went to war again, and quickly captured the city of Daliang with lightning speed. 166 Reading Network
