Chapter 65 Aggressive
Empress Meng frowned when she looked at the emperor and said, "The young master of Duke Fengen's Palace is indeed a dandy. His words and deeds are just frivolous, but he dares to say such arrogant words in front of the emperor. He is simply naughty. Such If these people cannot be severely punished, how can the royal family retain its dignity?"

Queen Meng said, and was about to punish her, but Emperor Liang held her hand, "Queen knows that he is a playboy, so why bother with him? Besides, when he helps the Princess of the Tang Dynasty to get ahead, he is also worried about my gift."

Emperor Liang was a little dissatisfied with Dongfang Yuebai's actions just now, but the Queen's words made him feel a little better, and at the same time made him sober up a lot.

The title of the Duke of Guo was a gift from the late emperor. If he was punished for such trivial matters, it would inevitably appear that he did not respect the late emperor.

Moreover, when he sent the Princess of the Tang Dynasty to the Duke's Mansion, it was also meant to suppress and test. After all, when the late emperor was still there, the Duke's Mansion had a prominent position, and the old Duke was even more knowledgeable, brave and resourceful. Such a person It is the imperial court's magic needle, but it is also the fear of the royal family.

Fortunately, due to these years of suppression, the Duke's government has become increasingly depressed. The current Duke holds a title but is incompetent.

Originally he was a little wary of Dongfang Yuebai, but now it seems...

This person is really a playboy and has no basis for evidence.

The doubts in his heart were dispelled, and Emperor Liang's mood improved, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Speaking of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it reminds me that in a short time, the prosperous Tang Dynasty will send envoys to pay tribute. I don't know, my dear friends. Do you have any recommendations?"

After something happened to the Su family, Beiliang took the opportunity to attack the Tang Dynasty once under the pretext of driving back the Huns. That time, they captured five cities in the Tang Dynasty. The people in the city suffered terribly in the flames of war.

The Tang Emperor had no choice but to form an alliance with Beiliang. Beiliang withdrew from the city. The prosperous Tang Dynasty was willing to pay tribute for ten years. Beiliang took the opportunity to propose a marriage, and Su Chengying was born here.

It was just that the last time the envoy came to visit, he died unexpectedly in Beiliang. No one knew what happened. Afterwards, Emperor Liang only used the excuse that the envoy died of illness in the palace and blocked the mouth of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

In order to ensure that no more envoys would die in Beiliang, Emperor Tang came to ask Emperor Liang in advance to choose someone to come.

Su Chengying felt that the Tang Emperor's move was not only a concession but also a test. Now that the prosperous Tang Dynasty was repeatedly threatened by Beiliang, the Tang Emperor must have become suspicious. No matter who Emperor Liang chose to come to Beiliang this time, when this person returns The prosperous Tang Dynasty will definitely be scrutinized by words and deeds to prevent it from being the work of Northern Liang.

As Emperor Liang finished speaking, the hall fell into silence again.

It's not that this question is difficult, but that the shadow of Dongfang Yuebai's crazy output just now still hangs over the heads of the courtiers. Now that this topic involves the prosperous Tang Dynasty, who dares to speak again?
For those of them who have lived for most of their lives, it is not a secret for any of them to have any scandal behind them, but gentlemen's discussions never involve other things, so they have no scruples in their daily arguments.

But today, such a dandy with no martial ethics suddenly appeared. How could they not be afraid?
When they heard the word "Sheng Tang" again, all the courtiers in the palace kept their mouths shut, for fear that if they said something again that would offend the young master of Feng'en Palace, they would eventually be stripped down to their underwear.

The princes present were also anxious. Empress Meng had no children. Although the princes of the right age had been allowed to go to court for hearings, they rarely had the opportunity to speak. Now was a rare opportunity to express themselves in front of their father.

The fourth prince's concubine turned her eyebrows and looked at the fourth prince and said, "I heard that Princess Shengtang is at the banquet today. How about your highness suggest to your father that Princess Shengtang answer the difficult questions by herself?"

The fourth prince felt that this matter was not impossible. The courtiers had just spoken out to suppress Sheng Tang. Princess Sheng Tang must have been unhappy. If his father could ask Princess Sheng Tang at this time, it would show that his father was magnanimous and politically tolerant. and.

But in front of the second prince, the fourth prince did not dare to be too pushy, so he quietly told the second prince what he was thinking. The second prince thought for a moment and then stood up and said, "Father has always been loyal, kind, and tolerant to others. I heard this Princess Shengtang is also coming to the banquet today, why don’t you listen to Princess Shengtang’s opinion?”

Emperor Liang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "The second prince is right, is Princess Sheng Tang here?" For a moment, everyone's eyes began to search the hall.

Su Chengying stood up slowly. She was wearing a plain skirt and a jade hairpin. Her face was delicate and her skin was as white as porcelain. A pair of dark eyes seemed to be flowing in the bright hall.

Soon, all the eyes in the hall turned towards Su Chengying.

Everyone knew that there was a princess from the Tang Dynasty who married from afar, escaped from death after committing a crime, but they didn't know that this princess from the Tang Dynasty actually had such a beautiful face, especially her pair of black eyes, which were obviously calm and calm. Like water, calm and waveless, but inexplicably making people's hearts tremble slightly.

Could it be that this is the momentum of the Su family in the prosperous Tang Dynasty?
Emperor Liang did not expect that Princess Shengtang was actually a good-looking girl. His eyes fell on her for a moment and then he said, "Princess Shengtang must have heard what the second prince just said. Why don't you tell me what you think?"

Su Chengying lowered her eyes slightly and replied calmly, "How can we allow others to express their foolish opinions in front of the Emperor? The Emperor alone has the final say."

Emperor Liang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Could it be that the drunken gibberish of the courtiers in the palace just now shocked Princess Shengtang? That's why you are so cautious?"

When the courtiers heard this, they were all waiting to see Su Chengying's excitement. After all, this was not an easy question to answer. If they nodded, it would mean they were complaining about Beiliang. If they shook their heads, it would prove treason and seeking glory.

Su Chengying knew that her words were a wolf and a tiger, so she simply lowered her eyes and remained silent, neither saying yes nor no.

Emperor Liang waited for a long time, seemed to have thought of something, and asked Queen Meng beside him, "I remember that Princess Sheng Tang was not the daughter of Emperor Tang, it seems..."

Queen Meng smiled and continued, "Your Majesty is right. This princess of the prosperous Tang Dynasty came from the Su family of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

Emperor Liang nodded, and when he looked at Su Chengying again, the smile on his face obviously faded a little, "I think back when the Su family was at its peak, we fought against Beiliang soldiers several times. The Su family killed countless Beiliang soldiers, but they didn't want to have Such a passionate and courageous Su family only left one coward in the end..."

"Or..." Emperor Liang's slightly narrowed eyes clearly revealed a fierce look, "Princess Shengtang originally felt that she was in the upper echelon of Su family and Beiliang. Even if she married Beiliang, she still didn't want to integrate. Beiliang?"

In an instant, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Emperor Beiliang's aggressive attitude clearly meant that he had no intention of leaving any way for Su Chengying to survive, and Su Chengying was at fault whether he spoke or kept silent.

Maybe, there will be another war between Northern Liang and Shengtang.

Faced with such a suffocating sense of oppression, even the courtiers in the palace could not help but start to sit upright.

Su Chengying tensed up under Emperor Liang's gaze, and her clenched fists in her sleeves ached and went numb!
The Su family was dedicated to serving the country and the people, and their grandfather and father shed more blood on the battlefield than they usually said. But now they were beheaded by the prosperous Tang Dynasty in life and ridiculed by Beiliang in death.

How could she not be in pain?
How can I be willing to do so!
