Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 902: The old man is simply defeating him.

The next day.

The envoy was "attacked" again, which shocked both the government and the public.

Emperor Yuan Zhen roared angrily: "Rebellion, rebellion! Who is so bold as to attack the envoys of Beiyan again and again?"

"What does this Bai Mingwei do? She didn't take precautions early and let the assassin sneak into the post house! I think she is useless!"

At this time, Shen Zian faced the anger of Emperor Yuan Zhen's Long Yan and spoke for Bai Mingwei:
"Your Majesty, General Zhenbei responded promptly and did not allow the assassin to succeed. The envoy from Beiyan was also safe and sound."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was still furious: "So, I still have to praise her? Knowing that the envoy of Beiyan is in danger at any time, she can still make such an omission!"

"What if this isn't incompetence? Are you blind or blind, can you speak for her?"

Facing Emperor Yuan Zhen who did not distinguish between black and white, Shen Zian could not say anything.

The courtiers were even more unwilling to get into trouble.

At this time, Emperor Yuan Zhen pointed his finger at Song Chengzhang again: "And you, Song Aiqing! Didn't you ask yourself to assist Bai Mingwei? Where did your assistance go?"

"The assassin has arrived at the post house. Do you know that Xiao Xiao, who is hiding in the dark, is hitting Dong Ling in the face!"

"As a veteran of three dynasties, you claim to have worked hard for Dongling all your life, but when those thieves do evil, where is your loyalty?"

"In my opinion, you are all useless, you still have to..."

"Your Majesty!" Emperor Yuan Zhen's words were immediately interrupted by Song Chengzhang.

But when Song Chengzhang came out of the crowd, he said with a serious face: "Something serious has happened, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen originally wanted to use this matter to release Qin Fengye in advance.

Qin Fengye is not around these days, and he is really unhappy.

But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Song Chengzhang again.

This made him even more angry.

However, seeing Song Chengzhang rarely show such an appearance, he couldn't help but wonder, what happened to make Taifu Song, who was as unmoving as a mountain, so chaotic?

So he held back his anger and gritted his teeth: "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Song Chengzhang said several times that something bad was going on, and then continued: "Your Majesty, Beiyan's heart is not united! Yichen sees that they don't want to negotiate peace with Dongling at all!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen frowned: "Song Aiqing, I see you are here again to confuse people with your lies. If Beiyan doesn't want to negotiate peace with Dongling, why did it send an envoy here?"

Song Chengzhang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is aware that I see that Beiyan is not well-intentioned. On the surface, although he sends envoys to Dongling to seek peace, in fact, he is thinking about how to use Dongling as an excuse."

"First the envoy team was attacked, and then the chief envoy was assassinated by a master. As long as Beiyan insists that Dongling's guards are weak, they can use this to cause trouble, thus turning initiative into passive."

"Once Dongling relents, gives in, and believes that this matter is Dongling's responsibility, then it will be equivalent to fulfilling Beiyan's wish."

"When the time comes, Beiyan's position changes, and they who were supposed to be suing for peace become the party that can make conditions. If they open their mouths again, won't it be Dongling who suffers?"

Emperor Yuan Zhen savored Taifu Song's words carefully.

Although he has no bottom line and is still timid, he is also a master who cannot suffer losses.

No matter how much he hated Song Chengzhang, he still felt that Song Chengzhang's words made sense.

There is still no clue about the attack on the envoy team.

Now that the assassination of the chief envoy happened again, how could he know that it was not Beiyan who did it?
The purpose is to frame Dongling for poor protection and use this as an excuse to increase the bargaining chip with Dongling.

Thinking about this, Emperor Yuan Zhen nodded repeatedly: "What Song Aiqing said makes sense. Although the identity of the assassin is a mystery, it is not difficult to imagine that this may be Beiyan's conspiracy!"

Song Chengzhang immediately followed Emperor Yuan Zhen's words and said: "Fortunately, General Zhenbei responded in time and did not let the assassin succeed. Otherwise, once Yuan Xun was killed, Dongling would not be able to explain clearly this time."

Emperor Yuan Zhen finally realized that the old man had set a trap for him.However, he is already in a urn. If he changes his mind, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?

Depressed, he could only pinch his nose and say something against his will:
"Although Bai Mingwei did not take strict precautions this time and allowed the assassin to take advantage of the loophole, the envoy of Beiyan was not injured. It can be considered that the merits and demerits are balanced. I will spare her this time."

Song Chengzhang quickly raised his hand: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen wished he could tear this old man alive, but he wanted to save face, so he couldn't do it on the spot.

So, he could only divert his attention: "Ministry of Punishment, we must find out the origin and route of the assassin. We can't let Dongling take the blame for those Xiaoxiao with ill intentions."

The Minister of Punishment quickly responded: "My minister, I obey the order."

At this time, Qin Fengye's minions started to cause trouble: "Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin and the censor patrolling the city are guarding the security of the capital. This kind of thing happened under their noses. It shows that they are also responsible."

It was related to the censor who patrolled the city, the ninth prince Liu Yao, so the courtiers wisely kept their mouths shut.

Even Song Chengzhang didn't speak.

After all, once the prince was involved, it was basically like having a knife hanging over his head.

Emperor Yuan Zhen was depressed by Song Chengzhang. After being reminded by Qin Fengye's minions, he also had a goal to vent.

So his focus turned to Jing Zhaoyin and Liu Yao again.

However, if the prince does not go to court, Shen Xingzhi is the only one who bears the wrath.

"Where is Jing Zhaoyin?"

Shen Xingzhi stepped out from the crowd and said, "I'm here."

Emperor Yuanzhen said: "You are in charge of the Yulin Army, and you have the censor who patrols the city to work with you to maintain public security in the capital. You have nothing to do with the assassination of the envoy."

"I order you and the Ninth Prince Liu Yao to assist the Criminal Department to solve this case as soon as possible and find out the details of the assassin. If there is any sloppiness, I will never give you mercy!"

Shen Xingzhi responded respectfully: "My lord, I obey the order!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen waved his hand, and the chamberlain beside him immediately shouted sharply: "If you have something to do, report it early, if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

It was a troubled time at the moment, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were tense because of the coming of the Northern Yan Dynasty.

But since things were not going well, no one wanted to get into trouble with the emperor at this time.

So everyone stopped talking until the chamberlain shouted "Retreat from the court" and then slowly dispersed.

Emperor Yuan Zhen walked away with a flick of his sleeves, returned to Chengming Hall and kicked several servants over, and his anger subsided a little.

Being so disturbed by Song Chengzhang not only made him take back his words of blaming Bai Mingwei, but also made it inconvenient for him to speak out even after Qin Aiqing's grounding was lifted.

This Song Chengzhang, this old man, is simply defeating him!
Thinking of this, the depressed Emperor Yuan Zhen kicked over the attendant at his side again.

Angry, he could only use this to vent the anger in his heart.

……

On the other side, the post house is very lively.

Bai Mingwei not only waited for the three survivors of the Beiyan envoys found by Lu Yunfeng, but also the crown prince Liu Yu and the ninth prince Liu Yao came one after another.

She had just settled the three newly found envoys here, and Liu Yu came with a lot of things.

"Ming Wei."

A friendly call made her hair stand on end.

She looked up and saw that the humble gentleman standing in the wind was not the crown prince of Dongling. Who was he?
