Chapter 179 Rumors
"Your Majesty, a report has been uploaded from the court today that Xiye's army is pressing down on the border, less than ten miles away from Qinzhou City."

Jiang Zhi's hand holding the pen paused, and a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen, leaving a mass of deep black ink marks on the paper.

"Didn't they negotiate a peace with Xi Ye? They just tore up the contract so blatantly?"

"...Mother, it is said that those people didn't do anything. General Liu who was stationed in Qinzhou led people to confront them all night."

"If the report came... This matter should have happened two or three days ago." The painting on the paper was already destroyed, so Jiang Zhi simply put down her pen and took the wet handkerchief from the maid beside her to wipe her hands.

"Such a weird move, but what are the conditions?"

Dong Ruo was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Xiye proposed the condition of withdrawing troops, they want... His Majesty to send his own princess to Xiye."

Jiang Zhi paused in the movement of wiping her hands.

Isn't this asking Song Qing'an by name?
In addition to the edict issued two days ago, it is really strange.

"Oh? Why?"

"They said that a contract is ultimately baseless, and that His Majesty has to give up one's favor in order to exchange for one party's stability."

Dong Ruo reported the news she had inquired one by one, and then couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this maid still thinks it's too coincidental."

"Tell me."

"If you calculate it carefully, the princess's marriage plan and Xiye's action happened on the same day. Could it be that such a sudden event can be predicted?"

The more Dong Ruo spoke, the more excited she became: "Your Majesty, the servant girl is suspicious, the princess..."

Jiang Zhiling's sharp eyes swept over her, but Dong Ruo realized it later and kept her mouth shut.

"Being bolder, I dare to say such rebellious things."

"My maidservant made a slip of the tongue, and I ask your empress to forgive me."

Dong Ruo bowed his head, his back was slightly cold.

Jiang Zhi sighed: "But it's true...it's a coincidence. It's just that there is no proof, and it's useless to say anything. Since I don't know what she's going to do for the time being, let's take a look."

With a wave of her hand, she pushed back the rest of the people in the hall.

"Is there still no news from Wei Ping?"

"No, the servant girl has contacted me several times, but there is no reply."

Dong Ruo hesitated: "Your Majesty, he wouldn't..."

"Wait a little longer." Jiang Zhi's face was calm, but her fingertips tapping on the table revealed the restlessness in her heart, "If there is no news on the day Song Qing'an leaves Beijing, then contact father."

Her eyes turned cold: "...can't wait any longer."
-
The news that Song Qingan wanted to marry Xiye was not released from the palace until today.

Xiye's request on the front foot was passed to Jingzhong, but the palace made an order on the back foot, and the speed was astonishingly fast.

Although everyone in the palace knew that this decree was not unique today, they tacitly did not say it out loud.

Therefore, in the eyes of the subjects outside, this is simply an act of losing face.

"As if we are afraid of these savages, Xiao wants to Zhaoding the princess? Heck, they are worthy!"

"But His Majesty just..."

"In my opinion, it is God's intention to ask Xiantai to escape the water, and Xiye barbarians to suppress the land. It must be that God can't stand the chaotic world, and sent down the punishment of God to make people wake up!"

This remark attracted a lot of approval.

Because of that decree, the Commander of the Habayashi Guard specially sympathized with Song Qinghuai and allowed him not to be on duty until Song Qingan left Beijing.

So today, Song Qinghuai took people to the teahouse, and happened to hear discussions in the lobby.

Almost everyone's words cannot escape this matter.

He picked a seat at random and sat down, quietly listening to their discussion.

"Hey, don't you think His Majesty agreed too quickly?"

"...That's right. If you want me to tell you, they have nothing to be afraid of in Xiye. They are just defeated by a group of men. They have wishful thinking, and the worst thing is a war. Why bother to agree?"

"No, I mean, could this be collusion in advance?"

The person who said this mysteriously lowered his voice, Song Qinghuai tilted his head, as if he had no intention of casting a glance at him.

The man obviously didn't notice it, and said to himself: "My cousin's third uncle was helping an acquaintance two days ago, delivering food to the palace, and happened to hear the order from the palace. At that time... it seemed that there was a princess There's news of the marriage."

"Your cousin's third uncle?" Not many people who listened to the gossip believed it, and they all scoffed, "Where did you get such a relative, let's make it up a bit more plausibly."

"Really! How dare I arrange such news!"

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he was a little anxious.

"You kid is always talking about running trains, what are you afraid to say?"

Song Qinghuai listened silently, Lin Yuan approached and whispered, "Your Highness?"

Song Qinghuai raised his hand to stop him, and said softly, "Wait a little longer."

This news is bound to spread, it's just a matter of time.

But it shouldn't be so fast.

This is only the first day.

Song Qinghuai looked down at the teacup and thought about it. This news...maybe it was deliberately revealed by someone with a heart.

"Let's go."

"Your Highness, don't stare at him?"

Lin Yuan whispered, Song Qinghuai thought for a moment, then whispered: "No need."

If it's Qing'an's idea, it's better not to obstruct it.

Furthermore, such rumors are harmless to Qing'an.

After all, no one would think that a woman in the deep palace could collude with other races.

As for the rest...

"Have you heard? Maybe King Xuan will soon take power!"

"What, say it!"

Song Qinghuai paused as he left, and looked slightly sideways.

This new topic obviously attracted most of the attention, and the person who spoke proudly glanced at those eager eyes, and deliberately dragged out his voice: "It's also gossip... I can't say for sure."

He intentionally kept things secret and paused until his appetite was whetted, before he said: "Look, Your Majesty is behind closed doors. Previously, Pei Qing was allowed to take power because there was no one in the capital. But now It's different, King Xuan returns to Beijing, isn't this the most suitable candidate for the acting government?"

Song Qinghuai raised his lips slightly, the meaning of the smile was unclear.

"And ah, Master Liu mentioned this matter today."

"Little brother, do you dare to discuss the affairs of the court so openly? Don't be afraid..."

Song Qinghuai took a step forward and patted the man on the shoulder.

The speaker glanced at him, and said with disdain: "What are you afraid of, how can Dongchang today compare to what it used to be?"

"Oh?" Song Qinghuai raised his eyebrows, smiling kindly, "Where did you start talking about this? Isn't Pei's palm print all right?"

"Hmph, he won't live long for this disaster!" The man said convincingly, "The evil is that the Xiantai was burned down before it could be built. How long can Pei Qing live? He will definitely be punished." of."

Song Qinghuai was noncommittal to such nagging remarks.

The matter of inviting Sendai is definitely not a punishment from heaven.

Now it seems that it is more likely that someone did it deliberately.

Even so... the plan with Qing'an was unexpectedly reconciled, so... let's let his uncle go for a while.
