After pinching the tyrant's peach blossoms, I was favored

Chapter 23

"How's the matter in Mingzhou?"

Si Xie spoke indifferently.

Hearing Si Xie's question, Qian Ziyun's brows became a little more dignified.

"My journey to the south was not smooth. I encountered several assassinations on the way. When I arrived at Mingzhou City, I couldn't get through the door. So I came back to report and waited for your instructions on what to do next."

"What? They even dare to kill the national teacher?"

Ouyang Li couldn't sit still when he heard this, and stood up directly from the chair with a very angry expression.

"They even dare to assassinate the emperor, so why not our national teacher?"

Qian Ziyun gave Ouyang Li a disgusted look.

"The emperor has made too many moves recently, which has made some people afraid. As the emperor's right-hand man, the national teacher is naturally the target these people want to get rid of."

At this moment, a black figure jumped out of the window.

"My minister sees the emperor."

Han Shen put the sword in his hand on the ground, then knelt down to Si Xie with a respectful tone.

"Isn't this our General Han? As the emperor's powerful general, why did you come in through the window?"

Seeing Han Shen, Qian Ziyun became angry as if meeting some kind of enemy.

If outsiders were here, their jaws would drop in shock when they saw the Master Guoshi who was like a banished immortal talking to General Han like this.

Han Shen didn't seem to hear what Qian Ziyun said.

"The Ning family has already sent people to assassinate the refugees. The excuse is that these refugees disturbed the people in the city and threatened their lives." Han Shen straightened his back and reported the situation to Si Xie in a serious tone.

"Get up." Si Xieliang raised his eyes and glanced at Han Shen, then said in a deep voice.

"The safety of the capital has always been guarded by you, the great general. As a result, Ah Xie has 'sent' you to the frontier to handle errands in the past few days, and the Ning family couldn't hold back anymore, and started to attack..."

When Qian Ziyun mentioned the Ning family, there was only a scene of sarcasm between his brows.

Si Xie had expected that the refugees in the capital would have something to do with the Ning family.

Mrs. Ning's mother's family is in Mingzhou.

Back then, before the late emperor died, Ning Feng was already a powerful minister.

With the help of Ning Feng, all the relatives of the Ning family have made their way to the top, holding military power in various places, or occupying important official positions.

Ning Feng's brother-in-law is the prefect of Mingzhou.

All the Mingzhou refugees have come to the capital, but there is no news from Mingzhou, and Ning Feng is still pretending to be innocent. Is this credible?
So Si Xie used the excuse of sending Han Shen to the frontier to deliver a letter, and asked Han Shen to investigate secretly in the capital.

This is also the reason why Han went deep into the palace and could only come to Chengyang Palace secretly.

"How are the refugees?" Si Xie looked at Han Shen and asked.

"Half of them have been saved, but the remaining half... have been secretly dealt with by the Ning family."

Speaking of this, Han Shen looked sad.

He has seen those refugees, skinny as a stick, some of them are half-grown children, and there is no good meat in their bodies.

It is certainly wrong for them to steal food from the people in the city; it is certainly cruel to eat human flesh from each other.But if it weren't for the famine, the homelessness, the starvation, how could they be like this?

"In three days, I will go to Mingzhou myself."

Si Xie closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a cold light inside.

"No!"

When Si Xie said this, the three of Qian Ziyun disagreed at the same time.

"Your Majesty, although the situation in Mingzhou is not right, your Majesty's health does not allow you to be exhausted."

As an imperial physician, Ouyang Li naturally knew about Si Xie's physical condition, so he said worriedly.

"Now everyone is staring at you. Since you can be hunted down in the palace, if you go south to Mingzhou in this situation, wouldn't you give them a chance to assassinate you? Xie, you have to think carefully. If not, Let me go to Mingzhou again."

Qian Ziyun shook his head lightly, then said to Si Xie in a serious tone.

"That's right, Your Majesty, just leave this matter to the minister to investigate."

Han Shen also said in a serious tone.

"Mingzhou is Ning Feng's lair. If this lair is not destroyed, do you think I will be able to sit here after a while?"

Listening to their words, Si Xie's eyes flickered with irony.

"If I don't go there myself, how can I lead the snake out of the hole?"

"Ah Xie, what do you mean..."

Qian Ziyun thought of something, and he looked at Si Xie with some urgency.

As a brother for so many years, Si Xie can guess a little bit of his intention with just one word.

"But your majesty, your body still has cold bone poison."

Ouyang Li shook his head, his expression still serious.

In terms of martial arts, he is not as good as General Han.

In terms of talent and strategy, he is not as good as Master Guoshi.

However, this medical skill, he can still speak.

The emperor's situation is not suitable for going south.

"Cold bone poison?"

When Han Shen heard these three words, his face changed suddenly as if he was facing a big enemy.

"You know this poison?"

Si Xie immediately sensed that something was wrong with the shouting, so he narrowed his eyes and asked sharply.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the sudden and sudden death of Wei Chen's grandfather?"

Thinking of something, Han Shen's eyes turned red.

"Of course I remember." Si Xie frowned slightly, then said in a deep voice.

The Han family has been loyal and good for generations, and has always been in the position of general.

Old General Han has made great contributions to Fanyun Kingdom all his life.

However, during the Battle of Bohe that year, Old General Han suddenly fell asleep on the battlefield.

For this reason, he lost his life, and Fanyun Kingdom was also defeated.

In that battle, nearly 20 soldiers of Fanyun Kingdom lost their lives.

The price paid by Fanyun Kingdom was too great.

At that time, there were rumors that the Han family was defeated on purpose.

If not, why would Old General Han make such a mistake on the battlefield according to his undefeated record.

For this reason, the emperor was furious.

The prison where all the Han family members were imprisoned at that time...

"Okay, don't mention the past, let's talk about this poison."

Seeing Han Shen's body trembling, Qian Ziyun seemed to be caught in a very painful memory and couldn't extricate himself. He hurriedly spoke out to bring Han Shen back to his thoughts.

"Back then, almost no one was willing to believe in our Han family, and Weichen's father also felt that something was wrong, but he was imprisoned in the prison at that time, unable to investigate..."

"Until my father was beheaded by the emperor's order, and hundreds of people in our Han family died unjustly. Eyebrows..."

"Grandpa's situation at that time was particularly like being poisoned by the 'cold bone poison'. Because no evidence has been found, I have not informed the emperor of this matter yet. But I never thought that the emperor was also poisoned by this kind of poison." ..."

Han Shen looked at Si Xie with worried eyes.

Grandpa died because of this poison.

His Majesty...

"Someone has said that it can cure me of this poison." Si Xie looked at the smoke curling up from the incense burner in front of him with dark eyes, and said such a sentence with his thin lips moving slightly.

"Anyone can solve it?" Han Shen said in shock.

"It's a little eunuch." Ouyang Li kindly told Han Shen at this time.

"But that little eunuch who offended the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother?"

Han Shen asked suspiciously.

"You actually know?" Qian Ziyun cast a sidelong glance at Han Shen.

"The national teacher has said that Mr. Han has been in the capital all the time. I am not deaf, so why don't I know about such a big thing happening in the palace?"

Han Shen scolded Qian Ziyun unceremoniously.

"You...Han Shen, is it necessary for you to talk to your teacher like this?"

Qian Ziyun's face, as warm and moist as a banished fairy, finally showed cracks. He gritted his teeth and retorted to Han Shen in a dissatisfied tone.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

Eunuch Detai stood in the corner, seeing that the two enemies, Mr. Guoshi and Mr. Han, were about to quarrel again, he hurriedly spoke out.

The emperor's temper is not very good. If the two quarrel, the emperor will be angry, and those slaves will suffer.

Si Xie stood up slowly. He didn't even look at Qian Ziyun and Han Shen who were still fighting, but walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

After finally waiting for the emperor to leave, the coldness here is not so heavy, Ouyang Li can be regarded as relieved.

But when he turned his head, he realized that something was wrong with Qian Ziyun and Han Shen, so he could only hold his aching head.

"Master National Teacher, I just did a small thing, but I can still make you bear grudges to this day."

Han Shen looked at Qian Ziyun expressionlessly.

"A trivial matter? You say it is a trivial matter? My national teacher's younger sister loves you and keeps saying that she wants to marry you, but how do you treat her? You just tell her directly that it's okay to have no intentions of her. Why do you still throw her away?" Come back? Don't you know it will lose her self-esteem?"

Qian Ziyun became more and more angry as he spoke. He even stood up and stared at Han Shen with resentment.

It sounds like Mr. Han did something wrong.

Ouyang Li was beside him, and nodded his head seriously.

"Self-esteem? Then dare to ask Master Guoshi, does Lingmei know what self-esteem is? If she had self-esteem, she would not have drugged me. If it weren't for the fact that he is your sister, Master Guoshi, I'm afraid She is now the soul of my lord."

Han Shen said sarcastically.

"you……"

Qian Ziyun also looked a little annoyed.

Because he also felt that his sister had indeed gone a little too far.

"Isn't it because she loves you too much and has been rejected by you so many times, so she lowered her face and took risks..."

Qian Ziyun also tried to speak for his sister.

"Then this kind of love, the national teacher and Lingmei can give it to whoever they love. I am not blessed to accept it. I, a white person in Han's family, died unjustly, and I, Han, have already sworn that I will not marry a wife and have children in this life. To avenge Da, I swear to die!"

Han Shen was expressionless, but his words were firm.

Ouyang Li was listening beside him, and couldn't help wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Alas, Mr. Han is also a poor man.

Isn't Master Guoshi and his sister too aggressive?
"Forget it, this matter is indeed my sister's fault. It's also the reason why my teacher didn't teach her well. My teacher apologizes to you."

After a moment of silence, Qian Ziyun flicked his sleeves and said with a frown.

Now that Han Shen has spoken to this extent, he doesn't have to force others to make things difficult.
