The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 240 Giving in
When Qi Jinzhi saw Gu Deyin's decisiveness, a look of hurt flashed in his eyes. After all, he made the wrong payment.

Qi Meizhi felt extremely distressed when she saw her brother like this, and she hurriedly spoke to defend her brother.

"Your Majesty, how could my younger brother commit treason and collude with the enemy? Is there some misunderstanding? Please, Your Majesty, please don't kill a loyal minister by mistake..."

"Whether you are a loyal minister or not, I will let the Queen Mother see."

Xiao Mingzhang was impatient to listen to her nonsense. He was already disgusted with this woman.

Qi Meizhi was so blocked that she had no choice but to shut up and watch the progress of the situation. She glanced at Gu Deyin, who had a calm face. She clenched her back molars with hatred. She should have taken the opportunity to execute this woman before she knew it. This kind of disaster would have caused too much harm. It's a terrible day to watch.

Gu Deyin felt that Qi Meizhi was looking at her unkindly. She looked straight at her without blinking or avoiding her eyes. Now Qi Jinzhi was no longer the empress dowager that she was afraid of before. Empress Qiu How many days can the grasshopper jump around?
The two people's eyes met in the air, flashing with "cracking" sparks. This was the jealousy of enemies meeting each other.

Except for Princess Yuanjia, who is a woman and has a more delicate mind, and felt the incompatibility between the two people, so she took a second look. None of the men in the large group of men laid their eyes on these two people. Compared with women, As they fight among themselves, they are naturally more concerned about who is the collaborator and traitor.

Then the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin came to the palace to seek peace. As soon as he came in, he greeted Xiao Mingzhang and ignored the little emperor and the queen mother over there.

This move was suspected of provocation, but Xiao Mingzhang didn't say anything, and others just pretended they couldn't see it.

The envoy of the Jin Dynasty was very humble when facing Xiao Mingzhang, and directly took out several letters, as well as the autograph letters written by the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, and presented them to Xiao Mingzhang one by one.

At this moment, everyone looked at Qi Meizhi with no awe at all, but with contempt. Such a woman was not worthy of being the queen mother.

Gu Deyin was not interested in those letters. When she heard the words "friendly trade", her eyes lit up. It seemed that her father and brother should have played a very important role in this peace negotiation.

The Qi family's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason can be said to be certain. The letter was written by the deceased Duke Qi, and was executed by Qi Jinzhi. Of course, Qi Meizhi's name as the Queen Mother was not included in it, but what role she played in it, everyone knew My heart is clear.

"Prince Regent, these are all the letters written by your country to the informant of our country. Here are all the letters. Our country is extremely sincere in suing for peace this time. We also ask the prince to agree to peace talks between the two countries as soon as possible and realize the realization of the two countries as soon as possible. Friendly trade.”

While Xiao Mingzhang asked the courtiers to circulate the letter about the Qi family's collaboration with the enemy and treason, he paid attention to Gu Deyin's expression. When he saw her smiling involuntarily, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When his father-in-law Gu Jianghuai gave him this suggestion, he didn't pay much attention to it at first. There were more important things to talk about in the peace talks between the two countries than friendly trade. However, when Gu Jianghuai analyzed the pros and cons of it for him, he heard what that would bring. When he received the wealth, he did not deny that he was deeply moved.

If we can promote serious business exchanges at the border, we may be able to win a period of peace between the two countries. There is a lot to be done in this. She couldn't help but start to think about how much profit this could bring to Dashang and the Gu family. .

If the national treasury had such a large amount of silver, it would be able to do a lot, which would be of great benefit to the Great Shang Dynasty.

Qi Meizhi's face was as pale as paper at this time. Of course she knew about this plan and she had approved it at the beginning, but the result was not what she expected.

She must be thinking about friendly exchanges.

When she roughly calculated that number, her heart couldn't help but feel hot. She took this opportunity to recuperate and use the money to greatly strengthen the national power of the Shang Dynasty. Then it would be possible to annex the Jin Dynasty in the future. Only by solving this serious problem can it truly bring peace to the people on the border. Come to peace.

Even though she had made a preemptive strike, she still lost miserably. She was extremely angry with her family for not living up to expectations, but she couldn't do it if she had to watch her brother die.

"Your Majesty, these letters are forged. How can I be convicted of this crime? And now, he only appears at the border because he is worried about the war. It is definitely not what the prince thinks..."

"Oh, Queen Mother, do you want to know how I captured this traitorous leader who collaborated with the enemy and treason?" Xiao Mingzhang asked calmly, and then made Qi Meizhi speechless.

When Xiao Mingzhang disappeared, Qi Jinzhi's whereabouts were also unknown. She didn't need to ask in detail, she knew that her own brother must have been in a panic when he was arrested, otherwise he, who has always been proud, would not have lowered his head.

Xiao Mingzhang did not save face for Qi Meizhi and directly announced the capture of Qi Jinzhi in the enemy camp. The courtiers couldn't help but burst into an uproar. They who read the books of sages hated such traitorous people the most.

Even the envoys of the Jin Dynasty were shameless. If Xiao Mingzhang hadn't gone straight to Huanglong in that battle, the Jin Dynasty would not have admitted defeat and sent him as an envoy. He even sold out the Qi family.

Qi Meizhi could only clench her fists and remain silent. She turned her head away from looking at her biological brother, fearing that she would be reluctant to "kill her relatives for justice", but tears flowed down unsatisfactorily, and she couldn't stop the sadness in her heart.

When the little emperor saw his mother crying, he immediately looked at Xiao Mingzhang and the courtiers angrily. It must be these people who bullied his mother, otherwise her mother would not be so sad.

He suddenly rushed out from behind Qi Mei like a firecracker, holding his neck and talking to everyone.

"Isn't it just a few letters? How can you convict my uncle? This country belongs to me. Even if I hand over this country to the Jin Dynasty, you have nothing to say. I am the Supreme of the Nine Kings, and my country is mine. I make the decision, you guys let go of my biological uncle immediately, otherwise I will never be done with you..."

The words shouted by the little emperor made everyone look at each other in disbelief.

Princess Yuanjia whispered to Gu Deyin, "Sister-in-law, do you think he is not normal here?"

She couldn't help but point at her brain, which was tantamount to saying that the little emperor was a fool.

"It's not guaranteed."

At this moment, Gu Deyin also felt that the little emperor was really stupid. If he really wanted to hold grudges against them, he should remember this scene and look for opportunities to take revenge when he came to power in the future instead of shouting in public.

This has no other use than to vent anger. An emperor without a pro-government is a tiger without minions. Who would be afraid?

What's more, after this incident, whether he can take charge is still a question.

When Xiao Mingzhang heard these mindless remarks, he was so angry that he narrowed his eyes and walked towards the little emperor.

"Are you really going to hand over the country built by your ancestors to foreigners?"

The little emperor has always been afraid of Xiao Mingzhang, the emperor's uncle, but now he has his mother behind him. He can't back down, so he said to himself, "I am the lord of the world. I can give it to whomever I want. Uncle Emperor, you can give it to me." Can you care?"

Xiao Mingzhang always wanted to give the little emperor a chance, but seeing how he couldn't hold up the wall, how could he convince himself to give him a chance to grow?

If some roots are rotten, they are rotten. No matter how hard they are rescued, they will never survive.

Qi Mei, who has low political sensitivity, realized belatedly that her son had said the wrong thing. She quickly covered her son's mouth and pulled him behind her, speaking eagerly.

"Your Majesty, that's not what the Emperor meant. He is just a child. He was joking for a moment. How can he take it seriously?"
