Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 364 I beg the emperor to enlighten me!
It's just that in the territory of Beixia Kingdom, the guidance of public opinion is still very important.Because all kinds of bad public opinion pushed her into the vortex, which gradually lost the hearts of the people.

In the imperial study room, official documents were piled up like a mountain, and Su Ruoqing was immersed in government affairs.It's time to deal with the matter of military doctors and military medicinal materials, and Su Ruoqing is in charge of Chen Mingguang.He was also very efficient in handling affairs, and at the right time, he came into the imperial study neatly dressed in black, and said to Su Ruoqing: "The emperor's expectations are indeed true, there are indeed people secretly trying to induce people's hearts, and point the finger at the second lady."

Without raising her head, Su Ruoqing held a document between her slender and jade-like fingers, and said calmly, "Is this person Li Xiang?"

Chen Mingguang bowed his head and presented a stack of letters, saying: "This is the letter exchange between Li Xiang and prestigious folks in Beijing that was intercepted by my subordinates."

Su Ruoqing stretched out a hand, "Bring me to have a look." Handing over the letter to his hand, he only glanced at the first one, then put it aside, and said, "There is a long-abandoned building in the east city. Town God's Temple, a beggar named Baozi lives in the temple," he casually took out a letter from under a pile of official documents and handed it to Chen Mingguang, "Give this letter to him, he knows what to do."

"Yes."

Chen Mingguang went to the ruined temple overnight.At that time, many beggars lived in the ruined temple, and they all listened to Baozi.Although Baozi is still a half-grown boy, he looks very mature, and he is very cautious in every word and deed.

As soon as Chen Mingguang entered the ruined temple, Baozi took the initiative to stand up and go out with Chen Mingguang.

Chen Mingguang handed the letter to Baozi and said, "Master said you know what to do."

Baozi opened the letter and took a look, with a confident smile on his face, he said, "Please rest assured, my lord, this matter is on my shoulders, and I will not let Sister Ye suffer."

When Baozi left the house, the girl beside him was already woken up, waiting for him to come back.When he came back, he had already burned the letter, and the girl asked worriedly, "Who was that big brother just now?"

Baozi comforted: "It's not a bad person. Wasn't the Town God's Temple going to be demolished before? A nobleman saved the temple, and we can live here forever. No one will come to grab the site from us. Just now that person is His servants."

As for the nobleman, he didn't say.He also weighed clearly what should be done.

Later, another voice gradually appeared in the public, gradually leading the collapsed public opinion back to the right path.

Rongdi invaded Beixia first, so it is only natural that Beixia led an army to attack Rongdi.And Ye Song led the soldiers of Northern Xia to win the battle and defend the territory of Northern Xia, and the barbarians of Rong and Di were frightened by the news, and they were the heroes of Northern Xia.As long as it is a war, there will be sacrifices. If it is unavoidable, it is incumbent to sacrifice the ego in the face of righteousness.Just because Ye Song chose righteousness, it doesn't mean that she is so cruel and inhuman.

The people gradually began to follow the public opinion and had expectations for Ye Song.

Baozi rarely took his little girlfriend to the teahouse, asked for two cups of hot tea, and found a very inconspicuous corner for the price of two copper coins to sit in, listening to the storyteller on the stage crackling about the leaves on the battlefield. Song's heroic deeds.

The little girl asked, "Brother Baozi, are these things about Sister Ye true?"

Baozi said: "Of course it is true."

"How do you know it's true?"

"That, this... I guessed."

In the middle of the night, after finishing her work, Su Ruoqing, accompanied by Chen Mingguang, left the palace without anyone noticing, and appeared in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.He stood in the snow for a while, looking up at the glorious "Xiangfu" written on the plaque in front of the mansion, he could vaguely see the character of Master Xiang and his teacher.

It's a pity that things are different now than in the past.

Su Ruoqing walked towards the prime minister's mansion step by step.

Li Xiangben had already fallen asleep, how did he know that the emperor suddenly visited late at night, he had no choice but to dress up again, and greeted Su Ruoqing in the cold night, but the etiquette was quite simple, and the dress was a little casual.

The hall of Xiangfu is brightly lit.Su Ruoqing sat there, holding a cup of hot tea.When Li Xiang entered, he bowed and saluted. Before he could say a word, Su Ruoqing supported him with his own hands, and said, "Teacher, excuse me."

Li Xiang sat down and chatted with Su Ruoqing for a while, talking about insignificant things.Those national political affairs have already been finished in the court.

Seeing that most of the night has passed, wait two more hours and it will be morning time.Li Xiang was too old and couldn't stand the cold night, so he couldn't help asking first, "I don't know why the emperor came late at night, why?"

Su Ruoqing took a sip of warm tea, lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Ye Song was fighting in Rongdi, and the teacher secretly ordered Baixin to point the finger at Ye Song." He said an affirmative sentence, and never again Patiently beat around the bush with Li Xiang.

Li Xiang's face changed when he heard the words: "Where did the emperor start from, the old minister was wronged!"

Su Ruoqing didn't speak, just twisted the lid of the teacup with her finger, brushed lightly over the rim of the cup, her face didn't show any ups and downs, as if giving enough time for Li Xiang to explain, but also as if everything had already turned into dust, Li Xiang No matter how much you justify it, it's useless.

Li lived decades longer than Su Ruoqing, and Su Ruoqing was single-handedly picked up by him, but as time passed, he became more and more unable to see through Su Ruoqing, and couldn't even guess what was going on in his heart.

As an emperor, if he can be easily guessed by others, he won't be an emperor for long.

Su Ruoqing was able to make it this far, even though Beixia Sanfang was in trouble, he didn't seem too anxious on the surface, he kept hiding himself very well.

Seeing that Su Ruoqing didn't speak, Xiang Li said earnestly, "Your Majesty, Beixia is in danger, and it is also the time when it needs to employ people. That Ye Song was invincible on the battlefield, and defeated Rongdi. , It makes people applaud. Although the veteran and the Ye family have different positions and political opinions, but now the generals of the Ye family are all rushing to the battlefield to save Beixia from the crisis. Please learn from the emperor!"

Su Ruoqing said indifferently: "The teacher always speaks rationally, and it is easy to get away with it. Sometimes I can turn a blind eye and close one eye, but sometimes", he raised his eyelids, and looked at Li Xiang indifferently, Li Xiang The cold sweat that inadvertently oozes out of his eyes startles the cold sweat on his forehead, "Teacher, it's better to be frank and lenient from the beginning. Let me ask you again, are you really wronged? You can think clearly before Answer me."

Li Xiang didn't know how to answer, because he didn't know what Su Ruoqing would do with his answer.So Li Xiang thought about it for a moment, and finally had no choice but to say: "The loyalty of the old minister to the emperor can be learned from the sun and the moon, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, Your Majesty!"

"Don't you have any evil intentions?" Su Ruoqing stretched out his hand, and Chen Mingguang respectfully delivered what he wanted to his hand. With a wave of his hand, the letters fell all over the floor, "Every letter here is It was written by the teacher himself, instigating famous people in Beijing and inciting rumors. When the Ye family army threw their heads and blood on the battlefield, you induced public opinion to seriously injure them. If you have no evil intentions, then you can tell me, you What is your intention?"

Su Ruoqing spoke very calmly, without even the slightest fluctuation in tone.It sounds like there is no emotion, just like saying an irrefutable fact.

Li Xiang knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to pick up a letter scattered on the ground, opened it, and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he sat on the ground slumped.Perhaps it was because of the cold weather that his face turned pale in an instant.

"Your majesty, old minister..." He trembled for a while, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Su Ruoqing said nonchalantly: "So, teacher, dare you say that you have not avenged yourself? It is because Ye Song killed Li Gu, so you have been making trouble with Ye Song, and tried to take her life several times. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the killer who assassinated Ye Song, It was also sent by you. Secretly cultivate killers, form cliques at home and abroad, and privately set up gambling houses outside to make huge profits, tell me what your intentions are."

"Your Majesty, the pain of losing a son is so painful for this old minister. Your Majesty can't understand the pain of a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man. But this old minister has never done anything to kill Ye Song. If she intentionally harmed her, how could she live a good life?" , now killing the enemy on the battlefield..."

"I know the teacher has never been in the coffin and shed tears." Su Ruoqing said, "It's just my teacher's bad luck. On the night Ye Song was assassinated, I saved her with my own hands, and Heiqi's group of killers also I broke it with my own hands."

After Li Xiang's body paused, Chen Mingguang had already untied the burden he was carrying and opened it. He took out a square wooden box from inside, placed it in front of Li Xiang, and opened the lid.

When Li Xiang saw it, he fainted from fright.

Because in that wooden box, there was a human head lying there, dripping with blood, dying with unsatisfactory eyes.And the owner of that head is the leader of the Black Qi Killer Organization.

The lanterns outside reflect the eaves of the corridor, light and faint.The cold night wind made the lantern sway, turning pale.The night sky was pitch black, and the wind brought flakes of fine snowflakes, which burrowed straight into the entrance of the hall, and melted as soon as they landed on the threshold.Unknowingly wetting the entire doorway.

Chen Mingguang knelt on the ground with one knee, bent close to Li Xiang, stretched out his hand to pinch the others, and successfully woke Li Xiang up gradually.He groaned twice before slowly opening his eyelids, but the first thing he saw was the head, and he backed away again and again in fright, showing no dignity at all.

Su Ruoqing looked at his embarrassed and frightened appearance, and said, "You are my mentor, so I have given you many opportunities, but you didn't cherish them."

"Emperor, Your Majesty..." From the day Su Ruoqing ascended the throne, Li Xiang has been Beixia's prime minister with a man under one person and over ten thousand people. He has always bossed others around, sometimes he would not give Su Ruoqing advice For face, he has never been so panic-stricken as today. He prostrated on the ground, crying, "Your Majesty, I know my mistake... I know my mistake! It was because I was confused for a while, and I couldn't be angry with her. Why did Ye Song kill him?" Son! She can ignore human life even when marching and fighting, and she doesn't care about the emperor at all! Pity me for being that one son... My Li family is dead because of her..."
