the first lady

Chapter 28

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce." Standing behind Helian Feiyan, a man with the appearance of a general stood up, holding a yellow memorial.

"Sure!" Emperor Wu gave an instruction to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately walked down and presented the playbook to the front.

Opening the yellow playbook and quickly reading through the contents of the playbook, Emperor Wu's face became ugly, and at the same time he closed the playbook with a "snap".

"What a bold bandit of the Yi tribe, how dare you harass the residents on the border of Nanwu!" Emperor Wu squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, and the eunuch beside him could still hear the sound of teeth being sharpened.

He Lian Feiyan and Zong Zhengyi looked at each other, and then He Lian Feiyan said: "Father, the Yi people are provoking me again. If we continue to let them go, they will definitely get worse, and there will be endless troubles!"

Emperor Wu snorted coldly, how could he not know the stakes?

In recent years, the power of the Yi people has been increasing day by day. Whether in terms of economy or military, they have gradually caught up with the Nanwu Kingdom. Although they are only one tribe, they should not be underestimated.

The military general said loudly earlier: "Your Majesty, the barbarians who harass our border residents are not local residents, nor the army, but robbers."

"I know." Emperor Wu rattled the memorial and his clenched fists, turned his gaze to Zong Zhengyi, and asked, "What does the prime minister think about this?"

Almost all eyes fell on Zong Zhengyi. In the eyes of all the ministers, this prime minister is the embodiment of wisdom, and everything seems to be easily solved by him, so there is more expectation in the eyes of everyone at this time.

Zongzhengyi thought for a while, and then said: "The Yi people and our dynasty signed a peace treaty two years ago, and they complemented each other to invade. But this time the Yi people's bandits invaded, and they were not under the jurisdiction of the Yi people's court. Let the Yi people use this as an excuse to attack; if we ignore it, it will only make the Yi people's robbers more arrogant and the people will suffer."

This point hit the key point completely, and all the ministers fell silent.

Finally, Emperor Wu sighed and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think we should do?"

"According to my humble opinion, General Wu can lead some soldiers to negotiate with the robbers. If they resist, they can be captured and handed over to the chief of the Yi clan to decide." Zong Zhengyi put forward his own opinion.

The military general who participated in the performance was General Wu. Hearing what Zong Zhengyi said at this time, he couldn't help saying: "Prime Minister, the Yi tribe robbers burned, killed and looted wherever they went. They did all kinds of evil. Let's talk about whether they caught them..." Seeing it with my own eyes Given the ferocious nature of those robbers, he naturally hated them to the bone.

"General Wu, just do as the prime minister tells you." Helian Feiyan took General Wu's words and paused before explaining: "If the robbers are killed, the Yi people will definitely not let this breakthrough go. They were captured alive and handed over to the head of the Yi tribe. On the one hand, it shows the sincerity of our Nanwu Kingdom, and on the other hand, the evidence is solid. The Yi tribe must have nothing to say. What the people see in their eyes is an indisputable fact, if the Yi tribe deliberately shields them, they will definitely not be able to escape numerous condemnations, so the chief of the Yi tribe will know how to do it!"

Although it is undeniable that the Yi tribe's intentions are undeniable, they dare not act rashly. The provisions in the treaty are very clear. There are other tribes who can testify, and other Yi tribes will not be so ignorant.Therefore, they cannot be allowed to find a gap to mobilize troops, otherwise the people in the world will suffer, and it will also give other clans a chance to take advantage of it!

Emperor Wu had a lot of thoughts and agreed with Zong Zhengyi's opinion. At present, this is the best solution.

Emperor Wu issued an order regarding the affairs of the Yi tribe, and there was no need to declare some trivial matters in the court. The general Wu who led the order quickly led the imperial order to the Yi tribe, and captured the robbers before they could move on.

After coming down to court, Helian Feiyan in brocade robes caught up with Zong Zhengyi.

"Yi!"

Zong Zhengyi paused slightly, turned around and saw Helian Feiyan who had a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his face, and asked respectfully, "What's the matter with the prince?"

Seeing Zongzhengyi like this, Helian Feiyan felt a little hard to say, but Zongzhengyi looked at him calmly, waiting for him to speak.

Finally, Helian Feiyan took a deep breath and asked: "Yi, that woman we met on the street that day, is she... really the Fourth Miss of the Qiao Mansion?"

In fact, he knew what he wanted to say as early as when Helian Feiyan called to stop him, but he didn't show it.

"Didn't the prince meet Ling'er yesterday?" Zong Zhengyi asked back, with a faint smile on his face, unable to see his true emotions.

Helian Feiyan's expression became a little stiff. They just became husband and wife, so their relationship is already this good?
"Yi, are you sure she is the Fourth Miss of the Qiao Mansion?" Helian Feiyan couldn't help asking, regarding Qiao Linger's actions yesterday, he really didn't think she was Qiao Linger at all, which was quite different from the rumors.

"Prince, the Qiao family will not do things without measure, not to mention that this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor himself." Zong Zhengyi reminded, if you deceive the emperor, it is a real crime of deceiving the emperor, who has the courage?

"But she and the rumored Fourth Miss Qiao..." Helian Feiyan said nervously.

"Prince!" Zong Zhengyi cut off Helian Feiyan's words, a serious light flashed in his eyes, "Ling'er is indeed the Fourth Miss of the Qiao Mansion, there is no doubt about it."

Helian Feiyan's next words immediately stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get in or out.

Seeing this, Zongzheng Yi smiled slightly and said, "Is there anything else the prince can do?"

"Do you have something to do?" Helian Feiyan asked.

"Tomorrow, I will return home with Ling'er. Mother said that I will go to her after the next court. There are some things that need to be explained." Zong Zhengyi said frankly.

Helian Feiyan frowned imperceptibly, and said casually: "Then you should go back early, and enjoy yourself with Meijiaoniang at home. By the way, you don't have to go to court tomorrow. , I will help you tell Father Emperor."

"If that's the case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be here." Zong Zhengyi said gratefully.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't say anything more, looking at Zong Zhengyi's back, a hint of gloom quickly flashed in Helian Feiyan's eyes, it was so fleeting, it was too fast to be caught.

When Fang walked out of the palace, Yueying was already waiting outside the palace gate, seeing Zong Zhengyi coming out, he immediately went up to meet him.

"Any news?" Zongzheng Yi asked lightly.

Yue Ying clasped her fists and replied, "Young master, besides us investigating, Mr. Feng from the first family and the third young master seem to be investigating as well."

"...Well, let's just check ours, Mr. Feng and Yan, let them go!" Zong Zhengyi said and quickened his pace.

Qiao Ling'er was kidnapped by people from Sanssouci Palace on the day she got married. Although she knew she was from Sanssouci Palace, it was actually the employers behind the scenes who needed to be inquired, and what their purpose was.Of course Feng Qing and the others investigate, he can't stop it, and he doesn't need to know the reason, he just needs to fulfill his responsibility!

"You unfilial son, what are you doing back here, get out!" Qiao Ling'er had just walked into the hall when she heard Zongzheng Wudi's roar.

"Father, I've been back for two days. Why didn't I see you say that two days ago?" Zongzheng Yan replied in a playful voice, obviously not moved by Zongzheng Wudi's roar.

"Two days ago when your second brother got married, I didn't drive you away. Now you get out immediately." Zongzheng Wudi looked very angry at his rebellious young son, and now he just didn't have to use a broom to drive him away!
Qiao Ling'er just walked into the door when a UFO flew over quickly.

"Brothers and sisters, be careful!" Qiao Ling'er felt that the teacup that was about to attack her face had already changed its direction.

Zongzhengye was holding the teacup thrown by Zongzheng Wudi, and his aura was not disturbed at all, which shows the high level of skill in his hands.

"Second sister-in-law, are you okay?" Zongzheng Yan wanted to fight back with Zongzheng Wudi, but seeing Qiao Linger appearing at this time, he temporarily gave up the boring argument. Just a word.

Qiao Ling'er quickly regained her composure, and said with a faint smile, "I'm fine, big brother is good at work!" She thought her hands and feet were fast enough, but she didn't expect that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the human world!
Zong Zhengye's expression was still indifferent, and he only said: "My brother and sister have won the award."

"Master, look at you, if it wasn't for Yu'er here, you would have accidentally injured Ling'er." Sima Yue, who came out of the inner hall, knew the cause and effect at a glance, and immediately pushed the blame to Zongzheng Wudi. body and walked towards Qiao Linger. "Come on, Ling'er, let mother see if there is any injury?"

Qiao Ling'er smiled and shook her head, "Mother, I'm fine, it's my elder brother who saved me."

"Yes mother, you know the elder brother's skills the best." Zong Zhengyan said to Sima Yue mischievously, massaging her shoulders, and said: "Even if the elder brother is not here, I will not let the second sister-in-law hurt you." on."

Such a mischievous Zongzheng Yan still has some merits, and has a little similarity with Lan Sa.

"You, you can't learn from your second brother. Why do you have to make your father angry?" Sima Yue didn't know what to say to his strange son. The meeting between father and son was like meeting enemies, especially jealous!

"Mother, you know how filial your son is, but it's because his father is too old and stubborn, and he still doesn't understand his style. Why do you blame me every time?" Zongzheng Yan complained, not looking at Zongzheng Wudi's livid face.

"You...you bastard..." Zongzheng Wudi blew his beard and stared, his face turned green.

"Okay, lord, Ling'er just came through, don't scare her." Sima Yue saw Zongzheng Wudi wanted to go crazy, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to comfort her.Don't be afraid of others, just be afraid of this daughter-in-law.

The corners of Qiao Ling'er's mouth twitched imperceptibly, this Zong Zheng didn't want to see her, and even used her as a shield, wouldn't it make her more despised?
"If the members of my Zongzheng family are frightened even by such a trivial matter, wouldn't everyone in the world laugh at my Zongzheng family for being cowardly?" Sure enough, Zongzheng Wudi just didn't give Qiao Linger a good look look.
