Chapter 137

Yu Qingxuan hugged his elbows in boredom, with a sinister smile on the corner of his lips, and said coolly: "People in the Northern Wei Dynasty value martial arts and despise literature. I heard that they are straight-hearted. It seems to be true. Even the envoys are so straightforward. How can I say this?" How about our quick-witted Princess Jin?"

Xiao Sesel said with a smile: "Second Highness is absurd. I saw him being aggressive. I really didn't want to be wronged. I tried to argue with him when I was hotheaded. I was sweating for myself if I could say that he was dismissed." .”

Emperor Tianying was silent for a moment, and smiled kindly, "That's right, thanks to Thurse this time. If I had your ingenuity and determination to forget my words, many things would not be so embarrassing."

Xiao Sesu hurriedly said: "How can Uncle Huang say that about himself? The concubine is just a little girl playing tricks, and forgetting words is only because she is reticent, so she seems very decisive when she acts. Uncle Huang is in a high position, so naturally Some people are beyond the reach of the world, and we think more about things than we do. In this way, in the eyes of Uncle Huang, our words and actions are actually pediatrics." After finishing speaking, he continued: "Uncle Huang didn't want me to be with you. Will the Second Highness go to the imperial study together? The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty has already left, so we can go there."

Disturbed by envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Tianying was in no mood to go to the Imperial Study Room, looked around and said, "Let's talk about it here."

Xiao Sesu nodded.

"Second brother, I know you have a flexible mind, what do you think about the matter of divine punishment?"

Yu Qingxuan was silent, and said: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods."

"Where's Thurse? Do you really think it's a man-made disaster?"

"The concubine dare not speak nonsense." Xiao Sesel lowered his head and said, "The concubine's rhetoric just now was just to stabilize the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty and prevent him from propagating things in a bad direction to the Northern Wei Dynasty. It's just that the concubine feels..."

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Emperor Tianying said: "If you have anything to say, feel free to say it boldly, I won't blame you."

"Hmm..." Xiao Sesu raised his head, looked into the eyes of Emperor Tianying, and carefully chose his words, "The assassination of the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Jiaolan Palace that day, in fact, the target of the assassin was indeed him, not the concubine's. Father, the ministers and concubines had no choice but to do some gossip so that the envoy would retreat, but we ourselves have to face the truth..."

Emperor Tianying frowned, quietly waiting for Xiao Sesu to continue.

"Uncle Emperor, the thunderstorms and lightning killings on the altar really look too much like divine punishment, which makes people frightened and unbelievable. However, my Dayao longing for peace is obvious to all. If there are really gods in this world, How could he be so confused with black and white, and regard our sincerity as the heinous malicious intent that must be struck by lightning?"

Yu Qingxuan snorted strangely, and said: "Princess Jin's theory sounds interesting, but it's just wishful thinking."

"If the Second Highness thinks so, then let's think so." Xiao Sesu glanced at him, and continued: "The concubine just thinks that if this incident is a man-made disaster, then the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is obviously to provoke Started the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Dayao. This is the same purpose as the last assassination at Jiaolan Temple, isn't it?"

Emperor Tianying said solemnly: "You mean, these two incidents were all done by the person who was hiding in the dark and couldn't be found out."

"The concubine is just speculating, and dare not speak nonsense."

Yu Qingxuan frowned, shook his head, with a half-smile but not a smile: "Princess Jin is a strange person. If the matter of thunder and lightning is placed on someone else, they will think it is the punishment of God. Why does Princess Jin prefer to be a man-made disaster?"

"Probably my thoughts are always different from those of others. Wangyan also said the same about me." Xiao Sesu explained the question casually.

She didn't want to talk to Yu Qingxuan, he was too dangerous.In fact, she thought of the level of man-made disasters, not because her thoughts were so different, but because Princess Xunyang's weird behavior was too worrying for her, so she subconsciously had the idea of ​​man-made disasters.

Yu Qingxuan said: "It seems that regardless of whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, we seem to have to declare it as a man-made disaster. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are not good, so we have to use whichever is beneficial."

Emperor Tianying glanced at Yu Qingxuan, "Then tell me, who will bear the charge."

"Father, it's not difficult." Yu Qingxuan said with a smile: "There are a lot of dead men in the world who want money but don't want their lives. Find a few people and hire them, disguise them as people from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and let them plead guilty. The palace found a few slaves whose hometowns were on the northern border, said they were traitors, and poisoned them all together, and declared to the public that they committed suicide in fear of crime, and left some physical evidence related to the Northern Wei Dynasty.”

Hearing these words, Xiao Shusu felt cold in his heart.This kind of cruel and ruthless method is really Yu Qingxuan's style. In order to pour dirty water on others, he can kill a few scapegoats at will.

Emperor Tianying frowned and looked at Yu Qingxuan displeased.His son is smart because he is smart, but he is too hostile and ruthless.

Yu Qingxuan didn't shy away from Emperor Tianying's gaze, but instead said generously: "Father, please calm down. In an emergency, we have to use some extraordinary means. Abandoning the car to protect the handsome man is also a tactic. Haha, actually, I can think of this The method is still because of the incident with the concubine Jin, the third younger brother of the crown prince last year..."

When Zhang Jinse was mentioned, Xiao Sesu's eyes twitched slightly, his lips trembled slightly, he kept calm and stared at Yu Qingxuan.

"Zhang Jinse?" Emperor Tianying said: "That traitor, why mention her to spoil the fun!"

Yu Qingxuan said: "Who knows if someone framed her in that incident? Oh, my son just said casually that she, a concubine who stays at home, went to be a traitor for the Northern Wei Dynasty. It's a bit outrageous to think about it." .”

"Shut up!" Emperor Tianying reprimanded sharply: "Is it possible to talk nonsense about this kind of thing? I don't want to hear about it again in the future!"

"Yes." Yu Qingxuan cupped his hands, and answered Emperor Tianying in a long voice, with a cool expression on his face.

Xiao Sesu's heart was already full of waves.She knew that Yu Qingxuan was of course not speaking for her predecessor, but was taking this opportunity to provoke the relationship between Emperor Tianying, Yu Qingyang and the Zhao family again.And Emperor Tianying's angry attitude, on the one hand, was angry at Zhang Jinse's "doing", on the other hand, he was afraid that he was unwilling to think deeply about that matter, lest the more he knew, the more disappointed he would be.

"Okay, you guys retreat." Emperor Tianying flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "This matter will be done according to what the second brother said, and the second brother, you can find someone. There is also the previous assassination in the Jiaolan Temple. The crime is also pushed to those people, don't make any flaws."

"Yes, I will definitely not let my father down." Yu Qingxuan arched his hands and bowed, and when he bent down, a triumphant smile curled up on his mouth, "I beg you to bury those people generously afterwards. They also died for their country."

"Quite." Emperor Tianying didn't want to say any more, waved his sleeves, and he left.

"My son respectfully sends the father to the emperor."

"The courtiers and concubines send off the emperor respectfully."

The two sent him gifts, their bleak eyes had turned into snow.

She straightened up, her eyes intersected with Yu Qingxuan's, she smiled lightly, and sighed: "What's the use of a heavy burial? Everyone is dead, and they still have a bad name."

Yu Qingxuan said with an evil smile: "That's better than being like Zhang Jinse who died of infamy and didn't even have a decent grave."

Yu, Qing, Xuan!A burst of anger suddenly surged up in Xiao Sesu's heart. At this moment, she almost couldn't control her emotions and broke out in the hall. God knows how much effort she had to make herself look like a complete bystander, expressionless.

"The dead are the most important, Second Highness should accumulate some morals." She said, still unable to hide the resentment in her tone, "Abandon the car to save the handsome, what Second Highness said is right, maybe there is no other suitable way, That concubine wishes Second Highness all the best."

"Hehe, thank you Princess Jin for your auspicious words." Yu Qingxuan said neither yin nor yang.

Xiao Sesu didn't want to spend any more time with this person, so he left after being blessed.Forgot to say that it has been a while since she went out to do errands, and it was time to come back to pick her up, so she went to the gate of the palace and waited for him there.

"Alas..." Yu Qingxuan sighed in a long voice, looking at the bleak back, from the bottom of his eyes to the corners of his lips, it was so cold that it made people shudder.

"Princess Jin, my Highness saw that you and Zhang Jinse both had the word 'se' in their names, so I said a few words on the spur of the moment, why are you so excited? It looks like you have a ghost in your heart..."

Xiao Sesu listened to the words, stopped, remained silent for a while, and continued to walk his own way, without looking back at Yu Qingxuan's expression at this moment.

In the spiritual palace, the curling incense has been burned to the end, and there is only an inch of sandalwood powder left.

The entire hall was filled with smoke, and the strong smell was a bit pungent, but it added to the mournful atmosphere in the hall.The cry of Zhao Fangyan echoed in the hall.She was still squatting in the corner, buried her head in her knees, and stubbornly wiped away her tears.

Between the corpses, Yu Qingyun walked slowly, looked at Zhao Fangyan's state, and continued to wait.

This scene was so familiar to him, just like in Youhe Village, he held Xiaohe's corpse and looked at the rows of villagers lying on the ground.

Now, it's Zhao Fangyan's responsibility to bear this situation. Yu Qingyun glanced at her, feeling more and more sympathy instead of taste.

Suddenly, a corpse at the foot seemed to move slightly.

Yu Qingyun suspected that she had read it wrong, she lowered her head and stared at the nearby corpse for a while, and then heard it making a weak moan again.

Suddenly feeling a little terrified in her heart, Yu Qingyun lowered her body and carefully lifted the white cloth covering the corpse. She was surprised to see that the eyes of the priest under the white cloth were slowly opening, breathing weakly, and her lips were trembling weakly.

"Master Priest, are you still alive?" Yu Qingyun asked hurriedly.

The officiant moved his lips, as if he wanted to answer, but all he could say was an airy murmur.

"Fan...Fan..." He hummed for a long time before humming out the words: "Fan Yan..."

Yu Qingyun hurriedly called: "Miss Zhao, the officiant is still alive, come and have a look!"
