After the kiss, I was spoiled by the regent

Chapter 73 Fighting wits and courage
Zhang Xiang was puzzled and said, "Why did Your Majesty do this?"

Yu Wenqian said: "The most important thing for the state of Song now is the iron mines on the border of the state of Chen. The purpose of marrying the state of Wu in the south is to swallow up the iron mines of the state of Chen and strengthen our military strength in the state of Song. So what I need now is not the ones in the north. Victory, but time."

Zhang Xiang suddenly realized: "So, Your Majesty wants to send King Ling to the south?"

"Correct."

Zhang Xiang rolled his small eyes and said, "How about the Xiongnu? Negotiate peace?"

Yu Wenqian shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Zhang Xiang's lips trembled, and he still said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is Wu State in the south, and there are troops stationed in the South, so it is quite stable. If the Xiongnu fails to negotiate peace and go to war, the troops of Song State will be consumed. It is better to send King Ling." This kind of person who has gone through hundreds of battles and is famous will be able to wipe out the roots once and for all."

Yu Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed at the location of the Xiongnu with his long pointer: "I don't know that Zhang Xiang's words are reasonable, but if the battle is lost, the Song Kingdom will be completely passive, facing enemies on both sides, and if it wins, it will strengthen Yu Wenyue again. Power, Zhang Xiang can't see that he is already in full swing."

Yu Wenqian's light words scared Nie Mingzhu in the outer hall into a cold sweat.

Yu Wenqian, what does he mean.

Zhang Xiang guessed what Yu Wenqian was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Yu Wenqian said: "King Ling is indeed famous and has made great achievements in battle, but his power and prestige in the Song Dynasty may not be understood by Zhang Xiang."

Zhang Xiang said submissively: "Ling Wang... is very low-key on weekdays, not like someone who takes credit for himself."

Yu Wenqian sneered: "Because of this, I have to be vigilant, he is not a worry-free master."

"Your Majesty means..."

A stern look flashed across Yu Wenqian's bottomless pupils: "I still have use for this person, so I can use it for the time being."

Zhang Xiang stopped talking.

Yuwen said: "You go back first, let me think about the matter of the Huns."

"Yes, I will take my leave." Zhang Xiang bowed his hands and left.

Nie Mingzhu watched Zhang Xiang come out from the room.

The moment Zhang Xiang saw Nie Mingzhu, his face turned pale.

"Ling, Princess Ling?! Why are you here!" Zhang Xiang was terrified.

when did she comeWhat have you heard?
Nie Mingzhu got up to greet him: "My lord, I have been here for a while, and I have been waiting here for Your Majesty to finish talking with the Prime Minister."

Zhang Xiang's face turned pale and then green, and he couldn't say anything.

It wasn't him who said those words anyway.

Zhang Xiang arched his hands, silently gave Yu Wengan two thumbs up in his heart, and left Qianyuan Hall.

Nie Mingzhu got up expressionlessly and went to see Yu Wengan.

If she hears this and doesn't understand what's going on, then she's too naive.

Yu Wenqian did it on purpose, he let her hear these words on purpose.

Otherwise, how could those people in Yuqian let her in so easily.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Nie Mingzhu showed no fear, and greeted Yuwengan in an ordinary way.

Yu Wenqian turned his back to Nie Mingzhu and was looking at the map of Kyushu. He turned around slowly when he heard the sound, and said softly: "It's Mingzhu, get up quickly."

Nie Mingzhu got up steadily, and told her purpose of coming to Qianyuan Hall to find him as calmly as possible.

She told Yu Wengan about Sheng Shuyao's poisoning and the detention of the suspect, and then added details to express how pitiful Sheng Shuyao was, trying to arouse Yu Wengan's compassion as much as possible.

Nie Mingzhu's calmness was noticed by Yu Wenqian.

Yu Wengan remained calm, he said: "Poisoning? But if you find out everything, then interrogate those slaves, and interrogate them one by one."

Nie Mingzhu bowed her knees: "With His Majesty's will, the ministers and concubines can feel at ease."

"Well, have you eaten breakfast yet?" Yu Wenqian said calmly.

Nie Mingzhu looked at him in surprise.

She has just explained clearly what happened in Guanju Palace early in the morning.

Sheng Shuyao's life is hanging by a thread, and the people in Guanju Palace are on their backs, who will eat breakfast?

It is impossible for Yu Wengan not to know.

Why did he ask that, and he didn't care about Sheng Shuyao at all.

When Nie Mingzhu came, she thought that with Yu Wenqian's affection for Sheng Shuyao, as long as she said something, he would immediately rush to Guanju Palace to visit him in person.

"No..." Even so, Nie Mingzhu answered Yu Wengan's words calmly.

"I still have important matters to deal with. It is really flawless to go to Guanju Palace, Mingzhu, and everything is up to you. If Shuyao can escape this calamity, you have a lot to do." Yu Wenqian said.

Hearing this, Nie Mingzhu couldn't help but look at Yu Wengan more.

Then he knelt down and saluted: "Since that's the case, please order your ministers and concubines to investigate the matter of Guanju Palace. If there is any trespass, please forgive me by Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Empress."

Yu Wenqian narrowed his eyes.

He underestimated Nie Mingzhu.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll make an order right away for Lin Shuangxi to pass it on."

Only then did Nie Mingzhu leave gracefully without making a single mistake.

It was not until he left Qianyuan Hall that he returned to Guanju Palace with a cold face.

Yu Wengan looked at the map in the hall alone for a long time before saying, "Lin Shuangxi."

Lin Shuangxi hurried into the hall to serve: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"What was Princess Ling's face when she went out just now?" Yu Wen asked.

Lin Shuangxi thought about it for a while, and said, "Concubine Ling looks calm, but Zhang Xiang didn't look very well when he left just now."

Yu Wenqian didn't answer.

Lin Shuangxi thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, this old servant has the courage to say something more. You and Prime Minister Zhang are discussing the government affairs. Why put Princess Ling in there? I'm not afraid of what she will hear."

The corners of Yu Wengan's lips curled into a slight arc: "I just want her to hear it."

Such a plan was designed to lure Nie Mingzhu over aboveboard, and let her know that Yu Wenyue is unreliable, cannot be kept, and is not her lifelong reliance.

Lin Shuangxi's expression changed: "This old slave doesn't understand."

"Of course you don't understand," Yu Wenqian turned around, with excited flames in his eyes: "Nie Mingzhu is not an ordinary person, she is very smart, and she is too calm. Even if she heard it just now, she still No mess around."

Lin Shuangxi said anxiously: "Then what you talked about with Zhang Xiang was heard by Princess Ling? Isn't Your Majesty afraid that Princess Ling will go out of the palace and tell King Ling?"

Yuwen was confident, he walked slowly and sat down in front of the desk, slowly raised his hawk-like eyes, and said, "She won't."

How could Nie Mingzhu say such things without any real evidence? If she said it, Yu Wenyue's first reaction was not that Yu Wenqian was afraid of him, but how Nie Mingzhu learned of such important news.

If she said it, it would affect her husband and wife relationship with Yu Wenyue, and she would even be suspected of provoking the royal brothers.

"If she had said so, I would have recognized this person for nothing." Yu Wenqian frowned: "Wait, you go to Guanju Palace to deliver the decree. The affairs of Concubine Shu will be handled by Concubine Ling."

"Yes."

Lin Shuangxi didn't understand the heart of an emperor, even if he understood, he could only speculate about it.

He felt that Yu Wenqian was too concerned about Nie Mingzhu, his sister-in-law, and even his eyes were different.

But he would never dare to say such words.
