Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Fan Xin opened the food box, and a strong scent of grass carp suddenly wafted into the palace.

After taking a whiff, Li Lingyue nodded approvingly.

"Yes, it tastes delicious. It should be grass carp from Luoshui."

"Come here, bring me a spoon! I want to try fish soup with Prince Jin."

Yingniang bowed and brought two pairs of jade spoons: "Your Majesty, please take a few sips before you drink."

Li Lingyue laughed and signaled Yingniang to step aside.

"In the whole world, if I can't even trust my husband, I will really be alone."

After saying that, he picked up the spoon and scooped some into his mouth.

The onlookers' servants saw this scene with surprise in their eyes.

Especially when You Nailiang saw that the Queen Mother trusted Fan Xin more than she trusted herself, the jealousy in her heart grew stronger.

After drinking the fish soup, Fan Xin said calmly to the waiter.

"The King is going to play a few games with the Queen Mother. You should withdraw first."

"Yes."

After the chamberlain and the maid left, You Nailiang was about to stand aside and watch, but Fan Xin smiled at him.

"You go out too."

"you!"

You Nailiang's face froze, and he waved his sleeves and robes bitterly and left Tai'an Palace.

At the moment, he is not qualified to challenge Fan Xin head-on. In a few days, when the Queen Mother's drug addiction becomes stronger, it will be time for him to take action against this guy.

"You almost regard my palace as your own bedroom. Tell me, is there anything wrong with entering the palace?"

After placing the black piece on the chessboard, Li Lingyue smiled slightly.

"As expected of my eldest lady, I do have something I want to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"The Ministry of War received a report from Helanyi this morning."

"Because our army cannot adapt to the high mountain climate in Tuyuhun, coupled with strategic problems."

"The army has withdrawn from Russell Khan Mountain, with thousands of soldiers killed and wounded."

"What, defeated!"

Li Lingyue was startled, and the sunspot in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Fan Xin sighed.

"After Tubo captured Russell Khan Mountain, it directly led tens of thousands of troops to attack Liangzhou."

"There is a strong intention to completely occupy our Hexi Corridor."

After the initial panic, Li Lingyue quickly calmed down and said calmly.

"Since you in the Tang Dynasty severely damaged the elites of Tibet, the Tubo court has been silent for more than ten years. Since we dare to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty again this time, we are obviously well prepared.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Facing Li Lingyue's earnest eyes, Fan Xin took out a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War from his arms.

"Our Luoyang Chamber of Commerce has always had contacts with the Tubo people, and we have heard of one thing.

"Since the death of the Tubo Queen Mother, the clan members of Lun Qinling have returned to the Tubo royal city and regained control of the power. This has made the Tubo royal family extremely angry, and they are secretly planning to eliminate this hidden danger."

Li Lingyue frowned slightly: Are you saying that the Tubo people in Qinling are showing signs of coming back? "

"Yes, the Qinling family is not only the best fighting family in Tubo, but also the most strategically ambitious family."

"It is no exaggeration to say that if they want, they can replace Chidu Songtsan."

"In addition, Tridu Songtsan is a narrow-minded and intolerant character."

“A large-scale conflict is bound to break out between the two sides.

Li Lingyue was not in a hurry to speak, but fell into deep thought.

Now that the imperial army has suffered a defeat on the front line, Liangzhou will be in danger again.

It is unrealistic to recruit a large army to Liangzhou to relieve the siege. The best way is indeed as Fan Xin said.

Send troops to help the Tubo royal family suppress the Lun Qinling family, and then establish a puppet regime. .

"Okay, as my husband has said, I will immediately send a confidant to Tubo to secretly contact the King of Tubo!"

After making the decision, Li Lingyue took out a bone staff and struck the bronze bell.

Meng Xiang, the Qianniu Guard general wearing a cloak, walked into the hall.

"I see the Queen Mother!"

"No need to be polite, just go to Tubo secretly with my personal letter immediately."

"Hand him over to the Tibetan King. Remember not to let the second person know."

Meng Xiang was startled and solemnly clasped his fists.

"Sir, obey the order!"

When Meng Xiang left and it was noon, Li Lingyue took a breath and planned to ask You Nailiang to bring the medicine in.

As time passed, her bones felt itchy again.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xin took out another Tang newspaper to discuss with her.

As a last resort, Li Lingyue had no choice but to cheer up and discuss with him, and the discussion lasted until the evening.

At this time, Li Lingyue couldn't bear it anymore and felt as if there were countless ants gnawing on her body.

I desperately want to drink a bowl of soup to satisfy my heart's desire.

"Ahem, husband, you see it's getting late. Should we discuss it in the court tomorrow?"

Li Lingyue forced herself to endure.

Sensing his wife's pain, Fan Xin put the flowers he had prepared on the table.

"Lingyue, this is a flower picked for my husband's order. It's called sin."

Li Lingyue was stunned and puzzled.

"Why are you showing this to me?"

Fan Xin picked a fruit from the root.

"This stuff has analgesic properties."

"But if you take it for a long time, you will develop dependence, and then you will become as thin as a stick and die suddenly."

Li Lingyue is a smart woman. She saw that Fan Xin's symptoms were exactly the same as hers.

Some people trembled in disbelief.

"You mean what You Nailiang gave me..."

Fan Xin sighed helplessly.

"That's right, it's this kind of thing that will make you die in agony and pain."

Li Lingyue was struck by lightning, and his whole body froze, his face turning blue and white.

She never expected that You Nailiang would dare to use the Flower of Sin to harm her!
I didn't expect that such a pleasant thing would have such a big backlash.

Think again of the heart-wrenching scene before.

Li Lingyue felt terrified in her heart. If it weren't for Fan Xin's reminder, wouldn't she...

a long time.

Li Lingyue took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intention in her heart and said calmly.

"You've been dragging me into talking for a whole day just to give me a taste of the medicine, right?"

"Yes."

Fan Xin admitted openly that he had to let his wife experience the pain in person to be more convincing. "

"You dare to admit it." Li Lingyue chuckled.

"I know about this matter. You can go back first. I will handle it on my own."

Fan Xin stood up, cupped his hands, and left Tai'an Hall without saying anything.

You Nailiang only used the most primitive flower of sin, which was still a certain distance away from the real poison.

So he believed that Li Lingyue could definitely overcome the desire in his heart.

Not long after Fan Xin left, You Nailiang walked in with a smile.

"Queen Mother, this Prince Jin is very good at talking. I will wait for you to take your medicine, right?"

Li Lingyue leaned on the bed, her fingers hidden in the quilt tightly clasped in her palms.

He endured the pain of being swallowed by ants and said calmly.

"Thanks to you these days, I would not have recovered so quickly otherwise."

"When I take medicine recently, I always feel that there is a strange smell in the soup. Please give it a try for me."

"You want me to try it?" You Nailiang thought he heard wrongly.

"Yes, of all the people, you are the one I trust the most."

Li Lingyue said with a half-smile.

You Nailiang...

"Your Majesty, I have been having a stomachache recently, and there seems to be something unclean in my body. I am not suitable for taking medicine."

Speaking of this, You Nailiang paused and said loudly to the chamberlain.

"You two come here and let the Queen Mother taste it for any strange smell."

"Yes."

The two waiters took spoons and each swallowed it in one gulp.

Li Lingyue smiled when she saw this scene, and an imperceptible coldness flashed in her eyes. …

The next day, the main hall.

The ministers walked into the hall one after another, just as Fan Xin was about to enter.

A voice came from far away.

"Isn't this His Highness Prince Jin? Why do you want to go to court today?"

The person who came was none other than You Nailiang. Ever since he gained the favor of the Queen Mother, he was followed by a group of loyal officials wherever he went.

"It turns out it's Doctor You. I'm also the regent. Is there anything wrong with attending the imperial meeting?"

"Where is it? I'm just asking casually."

"In that case, I will go in first."

Fan Xin waved his sleeves and robe and walked into the hall, leaving You Nailiang with a livid face.

"Doctor You, Fan is too arrogant. This shows that he doesn't take you seriously." Yushi Cui Hongxiu said angrily.

You Nailiang sneered.

"Besides the Queen Mother, who can the famous King Jin pay attention to?"

"Have you prepared all the evidence I asked you to collect?"

During this period of time, he had not been idle and secretly sent people to collect a lot of ironclad evidence of Fan Xin.

As long as these evidences are given to the Queen Mother, even if she does not die, she will still have to peel off her skin.

"Don't worry, sir. As far as I know, Fan Xin is the boss of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, making huge profits at prices that are far higher than the market price."

"And he also opened a wine shop and hired a large number of descendants of those who rebelled."

"The most important thing is that these remnants were originally people who were destined to be executed."

"In the end, they all went to work in Fan Xin's wine shop."

"Do you think he is deceiving the emperor and intending to rebel?"

You Nailiang patted Cui Hongxiu on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"You have done a good job in this matter. Once Fan Xin is eliminated, you will be the imperial censor."

"Dr. Xie You."

"Let's go in and go to court..."

As the big bell rang, all the ministers, led by Di Renjie, bowed to the top of the steps and saluted.

"I will see the Queen Mother!"

"Be flat."

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

After all the ministers stood up, Yushi Zhongshan stood up first.

"I am reporting to the Queen Mother that I will impeach You Nailiang. This person was selling official titles with great fanfare during his stay in the palace."

"So much so that a pig butcher can become a county magistrate."

"I hope the Queen Mother will severely punish the You brothers to uphold the law of the country!"

At this time, another censor came forward.

"The Queen Mother, Brother You Nailiang embezzled and accepted hundreds of thousands of copper coins in just one month. Throughout the officialdom, there has never been such a shocking scene."

"If it is not removed, more officials will follow suit."

Looking at the censors who jumped out one after another, You Nailiang had a sneer on his lips.

I feel confident in my heart.

The Queen Mother now relies on his medicine to prolong her life. Who will get her medicine except herself?

"I don't know what these elm-headed people are thinking."

With a disdainful sneer, You Nailiang knelt on the ground and wailed.

"Queen Mother, I feel wronged!"

Li Lingyue looked down at You Nailiang on the ground and said calmly
"What grievance do you have?"

"Queen Mother, I just wanted to restore your dragon body as soon as possible, and I made some small mistakes inadvertently."

"Who would have thought that the princes of the imperial court would use this to put their ministers to death!"

I have to say that You Nailiang's skills are indeed very profound.

It makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears.

Seeing that the Queen Mother remained unmoved, You Nailiang winked at Cui Hongxiu while her hair was disheveled.

Then he stood up and laughed miserably

"That's all, since the princes of the imperial court want me to die so much, then I'll do what you want!"

"Queen Mother, I have to take the first step!"

After giving Li Lingyue a reluctant look, You Nailiang gritted his teeth and hit the beam.

That's right, he wanted to give Li Lingyue a trick to prove her ambition by dying.

Sure enough, this tragic scene caused a commotion among the ministers.

After receiving the instruction, Cui Hongxiu shouted: No! Doctor You is going to die for his country!

After saying that, he was about to stop You Nailiang.

At this time, an indifferent voice sounded in the hall.

"Don't stop him, let him go."

You Nailiang...

quiet!
There was silence in the hall, and all the ministers raised their heads and looked at the Queen Mother.

There was an incredible look in her eyes. No matter how the officials tried to impeach the You brothers, the Queen Mother remained unmoved.

Why did you change your mind today?
The most shocked among everyone was You Nailiang.

He never dreamed that Li Lingyue would say such heartless words.

He froze in front of the beam for a moment.

"Queen Mother, what did you say?"

You Nailiang swallowed and looked at Li Lingyue with a pale face, feeling a sense of fear in his heart for no reason.

"Don't you want to die to make your ambition clear? I will fulfill your wish!"

Li Lingyue said lightly.

"Queen Mother!"

You Nailiang cried out sadly and fell to the ground, crawling towards Li Lingyue.

Unfortunately, the golden-armored warriors in the palace had already been staring at him.

Without saying a word, he pinned him to the ground and never let go no matter how hard he struggled.

"Queen Mother, you can't be so heartless. I have to work hard without merit!"

"Shut up!"

Li Lingyue patted the armrest and stood up suddenly, staring at You Nailiang with her phoenix eyes.

"You still have the nerve to claim credit, do you really think that I don't know about the flower of sin?"

As soon as these words came out, the crying and howling stopped suddenly, and You Nailiang looked at Li Lingyue blankly.

The next moment, he suddenly turned around and looked at Fan Xin.

"It's you, you must be the one who tipped the Queen Mother off!"

"Fan Xin, why do you always have trouble with me!"

Fan Xin came to You Nailiang and said calmly.

"Whether you are arrogant or domineering, or you are arrogant, I will let you go."

"But you should never be malicious towards the Queen Mother!"

"You Nailiang, you two brothers accept your fate."

"No one can save you this time!"

You Nailiang suddenly laughed and stared at Fan Xin with a look of resentment.

"Okay! Okay! Since you won't let me live, you can't even think about it!"

After finishing speaking, You Nailiang said loudly to Li Lingyue.

"Queen Mother, I am impeaching Fan Xin, who opened a business and made huge profits!"

"He also secretly let the remnants of Li Tang enter his winery to work."

"It is said that good wine needs to be brewed with the feet of girls."

"Do you hear this as a human thing?"

Amidst the weird eyes of the ministers, Yuna looked at the Queen Mother brightly.

Waiting for her final decision.

Li Lingyue looked at Fan Xin, then at You Nailiang, and sighed at the latter's expectant eyes.

"Drag him out and behead him!"

You Nailiang was startled, then burst into laughter, pointing at Fan Xin and bursting into tears.

"Fan Xin, I didn't expect you to be here today, right?"

"I am talking about you."

You Nailiang...
