The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Wang Yufeng turned pale with shock, and said: "Since these orchids were legally trafficked, my father was wronged. Why did the emperor say that?"

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Wang Shichong has been in exile for many years, and he appeared in the capital for no reason. He must have a plan."

Wang Yufeng thought for a while, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, it is probably because Father heard the news that the servant is still alive, so he managed to come to the capital in order to meet the servant. He has absolutely no malicious intentions. I hope the emperor will learn from him!"

It is undeniable that Wang Yufeng is indeed a smart woman, and her speculation is very close to the truth of the matter.However, Liu Ziqiu would not let go easily, and frowned, "Even if he just wanted to see you, why was he suddenly stabbed and seriously injured when he was about to be caught by my guards? It was the people around him who plotted against him." , Was this person placed by his side by someone else? Or did he arrange it on purpose? There are many doubts in it, and if he doesn't figure it out, he will never be able to prove his innocence!"

Facing the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was so eloquent, Wang Yufeng, the daughter of a sinner, naturally did not dare to say more, so she shook her head sighing.

Soon, a domestic slave was brought up.That famous house slave was also a barbarian, but his expression was flustered, he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have recruited everything the villain knows, there is really nothing to say, please Your Majesty to see clearly!"

Although Liu Ziqiu had told Da Leng that there was no need to interrogate those Hu merchants for the time being.It's just that there are more than a hundred people, and they are all kinds of people. Among these house slaves, there are people who are not afraid of death like Wang San, so naturally there are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.Although Da Leng didn't organize to interrogate them, it didn't prevent some of them from requesting to take the initiative to inform them.It didn't take long for the situation to become clear.Wang Shichong recruited a lot of troops in Huining County, intending to make a comeback.

Hearing this news, Wang Yufeng was also stunned, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, weeping: "Your Majesty, this servant knows that I must die, please be kind to the Emperor, let this servant see father again before he dies, and this servant will die with no regrets."

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Wang Yufeng, who was pear-blossoming and rainy, and couldn't help crying and laughing. He stretched out his hand and pulled her up, and said, "I know that you have been in Concubine Yun's palace all these years, and you have never had contact with your father. What he did What does it have to do with you? Don't worry, I won't blame you, you'd better wait to pick a good county horse with peace of mind."

Only then did Wang Yufeng stop crying, choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request."

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "You intend to plead for your father."

Seeing her thoughts being seen through, Wang Yufeng couldn't help but blush, and said in a low voice: "I am willing to give up the title of princess, and I don't want the dowry. I just want to get back my father's life."

Liu Ziqiu also sighed, and said: "I didn't plan to get to the bottom of it. Although he recruited troops and was suspected of rebellion, he didn't implement it after all, and the crime was not fatal. It's just that he didn't know why someone stabbed him. So now he Whether he can survive does not depend on me, but on his own good fortune."

Thinking of her father lying on the bed hanging by a thread, Wang Yufeng couldn't help but burst into tears again.

……

In fact, Liu Ziqiu had already guessed that an ambitious person would not be willing to be lonely easily.Since Wang Shichong has dreamed of being an emperor, as long as he is still alive and free, he will always be a factor of instability.He brought Wang Yufeng here today, first to let her fulfill her wish to see her father, and second, to let her know what Wang Shichong has been doing all these years.In order to let Wang Yufeng see a more real side, Liu Ziqiu didn't let people interrogate him in advance, but he couldn't stop someone from turning himself in.Of course, the final effect is still the same.

However, Liu Ziqiu can spare Wang Shichong's life, but it is impossible to let him continue to accumulate strength in secret.Although Wang Shichong may not be able to survive, and even if he can survive, it will be difficult to escape his control, but Liu Ziqiu still will not allow those factors that endanger the stability of the country to continue to exist.

After sending Wang Yufeng back to the palace, Liu Ziqiu immediately summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters. While dispatching a large army to Huining County to wipe out Wang Shichong's remnant party and search Wang Shichong's family property, he asked people to bring those orchids that Wang Shichong had brought to Luoyang to the hall.

At this time, the Byzantine messenger Pegg was also brought into the hall.Seeing those orchids in costumes, Pegg suddenly became excited, knelt down and talked a lot.

The interpreter hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Pegg is thanking you for rescuing them. I want to ask Your Majesty, when will you let them go back to their hometown?"

After Liu Ziqiu figured out what he meant, he sneered and said, "Peg, I think that because you are a foreign envoy, I temporarily spare you the crime of deceiving the emperor, how dare you beg me to let them go? To be honest. Let me tell you, I already know that they are all spoils of the Persian Empire, and now they are bought back by my businessman of the big man. And the businessman of the big man committed other crimes, and now they have been confiscated all over the house, and they are now the property of the court gone."

Peg knew that his lie had been exposed, and his old face couldn't help but blushed. He slowly got up from the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Byzantine Empire is willing to pay to redeem them back, and I hope Your Majesty will allow you."

These young women and girls were all nobles of the Byzantine Empire, but they were displayed in the hall like property at this time, which made Pegg feel deeply humiliated.But he also knew that the big man was very powerful now, and even the powerful Western Turks bowed their heads and surrendered, so he didn't dare to ask for it openly, and could only propose to solve it through redemption.

But Liu Ziqiu laughed loudly and said, "I'm not short of your money! I called you today just to let you know, now you can go!"

Pegg wanted to say something more, but the guards on the left and right ignored him, grabbed his shoulders, and dragged him out of the hall.

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you always wanted to communicate business routes between the East and the West, why didn't you take the opportunity to sell him a favor?"

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Sir, I don't know. Those barbarians pay attention to strength. As long as you are stronger than him, he will obey you. Otherwise, even if you sell him a hundred favors, he won't let you down." I will not admit it. Persia and the Byzantine Empire have been fighting for years, and the domestic taxation has also risen again and again. At first, I was also worried that the merchants of the Han Dynasty would suffer some losses when they went there to trade, but you see that Wang Shichong is still doing well Shuiqi? Although Wang Shichong is a barbarian, he used his Han identity when dealing with Persians. What does this mean? It means that the strength of my big man makes the Persians feel afraid, and they dare not bully my big man’s businessmen.”

Speaking of this, Liu Ziqiu pointed to the women in the hall again, and said: "My dear friends, I invite you here today to open your eyes with the beauties of Wang Shichong. After the court is over, everyone Take one home."

Liu Ziqiu was always generous to his subjects, but usually he only rewarded some gold, silver and jewels, it was the first time he rewarded a woman like this today.

Li Jing faintly sensed Liu Ziqiu's intentions, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty should have something to say, right?"

Yu Chigong was a big bastard, he grinned and said: "Master Li, if you are worried about your sister-in-law's blame, you can give the orchid that was given to you to Lao Hei!"

All the civil and military officials suddenly let out a burst of laughter.

When everyone's laughter subsided, Liu Ziqiu raised his hand and said: "You must have known that these women are all people of status in the Byzantine Empire. Some of them are duke's wives, and some are count's daughters. In the Byzantine Empire When they were all pampered and pampered, they came and went like a cloud of servants. Look at them now, what do they look like?"

In order to attract the attention of others, Wang Shichong prepared very revealing clothes for these women.

Seeing this, Zhao Ling stroked his beard, and said eccentrically, "It's almost like the orchid in Zuixianglou."

Zuixianglou is a famous brothel in Luoyang City. This sentence naturally compared these women to brothel women, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand, straightened his face, and said, "If you fall behind, you will be beaten! If Byzantium defeated Persia, the one standing here waiting for everyone to choose is the Persian princess and princess! Maybe you don't know that Byzantium is actually in the West. A very powerful empire, the reason why it has fallen to where it is today is because of problems within this huge empire. Internal strife is the beginning of foreign troubles, we big men must learn from it, otherwise, the rest will not need to be detailed Say it!"

All the civil and military personnel fell silent immediately, and looked at the women in the hall again, feeling no longer as relaxed as before.If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Even Wei Zheng and others who have read poetry and books have never heard of it, but the truth of this sentence is really there.They also have wives, concubines and children, and their fate has long been tied to the entire Han Dynasty.Once the Han Dynasty was in turmoil and was taken advantage of by foreigners, their wives, concubines and children would inevitably end up like this.Liu Ziqiu is not a reward, he is clearly using these orchids to sound the alarm for them!

……

This court meeting was very successful. After the court meeting ended, the slightly slack military drills became tense again. The civil servants also began to do their best to deal with the affairs in hand. The huge machine of the Han Dynasty began to spare no effort to operate again. , and this is what Liu Ziqiu wants to see.He doesn't like being bullied, but he doesn't like being bullied even more. The only way to solve this problem is to make himself strong enough.Power itself is sometimes a force, a deterrent force.When you are strong, your enemies dare not underestimate you, and dare not easily wage war against you, and peace will follow.

Although the Han Dynasty today has developed a lot compared to a few years ago, after all, it has just gone through a period of turmoil, and many places still need to rest and recuperate. Therefore, a peaceful development environment is extremely important to the Han Dynasty.It's just that whether it's external or internal, there are always some forces who don't want to see the Han Dynasty develop peacefully.
