Chapter 376 Confirmation
All eyes fell on Zhongqin Bo Wengli.

And he himself held his head high and held his chest high, very persistent.

Feng Zhong looked at him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Uncle Zhongqin is not easy.

Back then, when the first emperor raised his army, the world was still in chaos.

Weng Li did not raise the flag, but only guarded an acre of land and watched for several years.

As the battle progressed, Weng Li voted under the command of the first emperor. Since then, he has made countless military exploits and was granted the title of knighthood when the dynasty was established.

Feng Zhong admired the first emperor's suspicion and appointment of people, and at the same time, he also admired Weng Li's ability.

As a latecomer, I don't have strong ability, how can I get a place?
Loyalty and diligence to the first emperor is his title.

As for Weng Li, besides meritorious deeds, there were injuries all over his body.

This is also the reason why he has spent the past ten years living in Beijing and not going to the battlefield.

However, in private, Feng Zhong also heard other people discuss that it's not that Uncle Zhongqin can't fight, but he doesn't want to fight.

The Weng family gave birth to a concubine Shun who was crowned with the sixth palace.

The empress gave birth to the second prince, who was favored by the emperor, and made a marriage contract with the eldest girl of the Yongning Hou Mansion...

At the empress's natal family, the scholarly Cheng family, all the children stayed away from the center because of taboos, and only served as small officials in distant places.

Are they, the Weng family, going to do the opposite?
If Uncle Zhongqin continues to work hard, not to mention fighting, he will have to train every one or two years. It will not be a good thing for the empress, the Weng family, or the entire front and back palace.

It would be better if Uncle Zhongqin took advantage of his age and old injuries to lie down honestly in the capital, which would make all parties breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, this is what Feng Zhong heard, and he doesn't know if it is accurate.

In any case, Uncle Zhongqin's age is already here.

He is old and his hair is gray.

Concubine Shun is an old woman, the daughter and son of the old uncle, and there are four more who survived the troubled times.

The eldest daughter was married early, and the three sons, and the grandchildren below, looked very ordinary, especially the grandchildren, who looked like playboys.

Dude is dude.

Although not motivated, it is not likely to be a prodigal.

only……

Feng Zhong shook his head secretly, after all, it was so difficult that the old man had to recover again.

Concubine Shun was thrown into the cold palace, and His Highness the Second Highness also lost the Emperor's heart. It was heard that the young Highness who was born just now was still ill, and looked like he might die anytime, anywhere.

If the old man doesn't work hard to find a way, the Weng family will really fall apart.

Difficult!

At such a great age, yet...

In the middle of the hall, Uncle Zhongqin stood upright, not caring about others' scrutiny, just waiting for the emperor to speak.

After a long time, the emperor said: "I am very touched by the invitation of the old uncle, but you are old and have old wounds, let me think about it again."

Uncle Zhongqin wanted to say something more when he heard the words, but after deliberating several times, he couldn't think of a suitable explanation, so he finally stepped aside helplessly and annoyed.

It was Marquis Anbei who stood up after him.

Jin Fang's attitude was very sincere, and he said, "If you want to defend the city, you will not hide behind people."

Hearing An Beihou's bold words, Feng Zhong reacted suddenly, and immediately stood up and offered to join.

It's the same thing if the emperor doesn't believe that the two of them will guard well.

If you don't stand up, that's another matter.

No matter how loyal he is, in the hearts of the emperor and other people, he must be clearly marked as "along with Yongning Hou and Ding Guogong".

On the dragon chair, the emperor squinted his eyes as he looked at the crowd below.

They look pretty good, can you believe it...

He couldn't believe any of them.

In such a comparison, Uncle Zhongqin, who was the first to stand up, looked more plausible.

Thinking about it, the emperor didn't immediately decide on the candidate, and said that he had to think carefully, so he got up and retreated.

In the main hall, the emperor was sent away, leaving only a group of civil and military personnel.

Feng Zhong looked at Uncle Zhongqin, subconsciously wanting to say something, and saw that the old man walked away alone with a sullen face and hands behind his back.

On the other side, the emperor went to the Compassion Palace.

The Empress Dowager was also extremely astonished by the authentic things in Qiyang City.

"It is said that those tunnels cannot be dug in a short time," the emperor said coldly, "some of them were dug more than ten or twenty years ago."

The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family doesn't know."

"What you want is to make a quick decision, break away from the Yan family in Qiyang, and stop Qin Yin and the others in Qiyang," the emperor gritted his teeth, and said, "But what if they said that the tunnel was dug 34 years ago?
You don't know, doesn't it mean that your elder brother Fu Guogong also doesn't know?

Okay, you brothers and sisters don't know about it, your father, my grandfather, he was the head of the Yan family in Qiyang, doesn't he know about it?
When the Great Zhou dynasty was established, did the old man tell his father all the authentic things?
No!

I kept it a secret until today!

What is Yan's intention? "

The empress dowager was speechless and couldn't help but raised her hand to cover her chest.

Qi Yang's place really caused a lot of trouble.

In what year the tunnel was dug, it was no longer up to her to decide.

When Qin Yin and Lin Fan said it was, that was the time.

"You said earlier that I would not be allowed to testify against Lin Fan," the emperor snorted heavily, "you never expected that the article written by the grand master would prove the truth of Qi Yang, and furthermore, let Lin Fan say what he said. gone."

The problem of Qiyang mining shocked the world.

Xie Yu's article was very inspiring, and both the government and the people believed that Lin Fan and Qin Yin would not lie or falsify such an important matter, but there is still a lack of "confirmation".

The article that the empress dowager asked Huang Taishi to write, and the imperial court's order to send troops to Guanzhou, are that proof.

It's self-protection, it's letting go, and it's also helpless to cut the mess with knives.

There is no such thing as right or wrong with this move, it is the fastest way to deal with it that can be thought of at the moment.

It's just that they really didn't expect that there was another thunderbolt at Qi Yang's place.

Now that the thunder is deafening and spread all over the world, will anyone still wonder if it is adulterated?

That box says that 20 years is 20 years, and 40 years is 40 years.

The empress dowager couldn't refute, not to mention, she didn't even know the answer.

"Aijia..." The Empress Dowager supported her sons and said slowly, "Who does the Emperor plan to let guard the city?"

It's hard to stop Lin Fan's rapid eastward advance when the real thing happened, and the countermeasures can't be delayed...

The emperor said: "Don't worry about it, mother."

After speaking, he threw off his sleeves and strode out.

Under the corridor outside the hall, Concubine Shu stood there helpless, and saluted the emperor.

The emperor's face was still cold, but he didn't turn his anger on Concubine Shu, took a look at him, and left.

Concubine Shu respectfully sent the emperor off, and then followed the prince into the inner hall.

The empress dowager sat leaning against the pillow, exhaustion was written all over her face.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu knew clearly that the mother and son broke up unhappy.
