Chapter 31
This question is what everyone present wants to know.

Therefore, although Li Yongchang's narration was interrupted, Zhu Qiyu did not stop it, but signaled Li Yongchang to answer.

Li Yongchang was still choosing his words carefully, and said behind a moment.

"To be honest with you, the Virgin Mary has also asked about these questions."

"According to the two of them, the emperor was entrusted to the side of the central army tent, and the only one who followed was Yuan Bin, the captain of Jinyiwei. Below, I have seen the emperor, so I don't know the details."

Saying this is like saying nothing.

However, it cannot be said that it is completely useless. At least, all the ministers present know it, and it is still very important to see this Emperor Ming first.

Not only was it placed next to the tent of the Chinese army and guarded on the spot, but also heavy troops were sent to guard it.

In this way, if you want to send troops to rescue the emperor, I'm afraid it will be difficult...

After the ministers present listened, no one continued to ask, and no one spoke.

However, after Zhu Qiyu heard it, he frowned slightly.

It's not that Li Yongchang's answer was wrong, but that he felt that Li Yongchang was deliberately avoiding something.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Qiyu still did not question immediately, but asked.

"What do these two people say about what the Xuanfu general has reported?"

Li Yongchang didn't hesitate much at this time, said.

"The two of them have also said about this. The emperor did order them to take gold, pearls, jade, and silk to bring back the reward. However, what the Xuanfu guard said that the emperor ordered the Xuanfu guard to open the city is not the truth."

Although Li Yongchang's words were smooth, but if he listened carefully, he could hear a trace of vibrato.

Zhu Qiyu even had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but he never interrupted.

So Li Yongchang continued.

"At that time, the thieves did take the holy car to the Xuanfu city, but at that time the emperor was held by the thieves and could not speak. The words that opened the city were said by the thieves..."

With a cold sweat on his heart, Li Yongchang finally finished speaking calmly.

Secretly looking at the expressions of the ministers at the bottom, he didn't see what their expressions were. Instead, Li Yongchang saw the face of King Yu, who was at the top, sinking.

Zhu Qiyu is really angry!

He was angry that Empress Dowager Sun didn't know the whole thing. At this time, he wanted to cover up for her unsatisfactory son.

What to say about the opening of the city is what the thieves said.

Could it be that Xuanfu guards are all fools?

If at that time, the emperor was really tied up and unable to speak, wouldn't the Xuanfu guard not explain it in the military newspaper?
No, exactly not!

It is precisely because the words of the commander-in-chief Kaicheng were spoken by the emperor himself, that the commander of Xuanfu would have difficulty in making a decision and had to report to the court.

If the threat to Kaesong is the Owara army, the Xuanfu defender can reject it in a dignified manner as long as there is no imperial order, the emperor's holy order, and he does not dare to switch.

Legally speaking, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter.

It is precisely because the emperor himself who opened his mouth, if he did not open it, he would be violating the imperial edict.

That's how this military newspaper came about.

But now, in order to protect her son, the Empress Dowager Sun does not hesitate to confuse black and white, and she is blunt and blunt.

This makes me angry!

Her son, His Majesty the captured emperor, didn't know that when he ordered the guard to open the door at that time, such actions would be criticized by the court and the public?
He knew, but in order to save his life, he still did it!
Now that I've done it, I'm going to be shy and pretend to be wrong.

This mother and son are a perfect match!
While angry, Zhu Qiyu also resolutely determined to seize power from the Empress Dowager Sun as soon as possible.

I am afraid that in the heart of the empress dowager, the safety of the emperor is the most important thing.

In order to save the emperor, let alone gold beads, jade and silk, no matter how difficult it is to accept the conditions, she is afraid that the old man will agree.

With a cold snort, Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Then where are Xi Ning and Yue Qian now?"

Hearing this, Li Yongchang knew that this Prince Yu was suspicious, but he still had to bite the bullet and said.

"The Holy Mother is afraid that the delay will be long, and the thieves will not be good for the emperor, so I have allocated 400 taels of gold, 800 taels of silver, ten pearls, and a hundred pieces of brocade from the inner treasury, and ordered them to bring them back. It's Beijing..."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Yongchang and did not speak.

Being stared at by such stern eyes, Li Yongchang couldn't help sweating from the top of his head. After finally finishing his words, he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhu Qiyu.

The ministers in the hall did not feel anything at all.

At this moment, I heard that Xi Ning and Yue Qian had been sent out of the city, and they slowly tasted some flavors.

Looking at Li Yongchang's eyes, there is also a bit of inexplicable meaning.

It is true that from the perspective of the empress dowager in the palace, in order to rescue the emperor, these things of wealth and silk are nothing.

But why so urgent?
It is said that it is worried that the delay will take a long time, and it will be detrimental to the emperor first.

This reason is somewhat untenable.

Judging from the news that Xi Ning and Yue Qian said earlier, at least now, the emperor is also holding the emperor first, and he is still asking for benefits.

Therefore, in a short period of time, there will be no unfavorable actions for the emperor.

Even if there is, it is not a day or two away.

The empress dowager is so anxious to send people out of Beijing. It is more likely that the ministers of the imperial court are afraid that they will call the two to inquire.

At that time, if you say something that shouldn't be said, naturally no one will look good...

Although it is only a guess, but above the court, many things do not need evidence.

Just looking at Li Yongchang's guilty conscience, the courtiers were convinced of their guesses.

But after being convinced, the courtiers could only sigh in their hearts.

Anyway, people have already sent away...

It is also impossible for them to chase and intercept people in order to find someone to question.

So this sullen breath can only be digested silently.

It's just that the agile minister, who has changed his mind, is also the same in his heart. He is a little more worried about the attitude of the Queen Mother Sun...

What the ministers thought, I will not mention it for the time being.

Anyway, on this occasion, it is impossible to make guesses, and it is not even easy to say.

This is also the reason why Empress Dowager Sun dared to do so.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, and after thinking about it, he was not angry anymore.

Because this matter is actually beneficial to him.

Empress Dowager Sun made such a fuss, all courtiers who understood something would be dissatisfied with her.

In this way, there will be less resistance to his next plan.

What's more, some things can't be covered up if Empress Dowager Sun wants to cover up...

With a sneer in his heart, Zhu Qiyu took his mind back.

These are things to come later, he hasn't forgotten what he called Li Yongchang to come here this time...

After calming down, Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Apart from these, what other news did the two of them bring? For example, did you hear anything first?"

This question was a bit inexplicable, Li Yongchang frowned, unable to understand Zhu Qiyu's intention for a while.

Can there be anything to say first?

If it is nothing more than asking for money and silk, what else can there be?
The ministers present were also a little confused, but in a cautious attitude, they did not say much, but all looked at Li Yongchang.

However, apart from those ordinary ministers, the two elders, Wang Zhi and Hu Xun, who were sitting on the side, suddenly opened their eyes and seemed to think of something.

At the same time, Yu Qian and Chen Yi also looked at each other with a bit of inexplicable meaning in their eyes...
