The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 229
The four people in the capital were all taken aback when they received the letter or memorial from Lingnan.

None of them thought that Liu Weijin took back the entire Qiongzhou Island with just over 100 soldiers and horses. What kind of courage is this?
Looking at the memorial, Zhao Pu couldn't help nodding his head, thinking that Liu Wei is really good and has a bright future, and he needs to have a good relationship with him in the future; when Zhao Kuangyin and King Jin were surprised, they secretly thought about Liu Wei. He is so powerful, if he is allowed to stay in Xing Wang's mansion again, I'm afraid it will be very bad. Although there are not many soldiers and horses in Xing Wang's mansion now, if Liu Wei really wants to become king on his own, the destruction of the court will not be solved in a short while. After the two of them thought this way, they felt that they should discuss it with someone.

After being shocked, Pan Mei was furious. He never thought that Liu Wei could do such a feat, but after reading his son Pan Weiji's letter, he showed a sneer again. How to deal with Liu Wei, Pan Weiji had already written in After reading the letter, Pan Mei felt that all she had to do was follow through.

In the Kaifeng government office, King Jin showed Wei Ping's letter to Su Tong, who nodded slightly after reading it: "This Concubine Liu really lived up to everyone's expectations." Speaking of this, Su Tong frowned suddenly: "This letter It is said that Liu Wei bribed Hua Qiongxian of the Witch Sect, so she was able to win a big victory, but as the young master of the Witch Sect, how could Hua Qiongxian be easily bought by Liu Wei?"

Hearing Su Tongan's words, King Jin frowned slightly. He wanted to discuss with Su Tongan whether it was appropriate for Liu Wei to stay in Xingwang's mansion, but he didn't consider the other things in the letter, but now Su Tongan said so , he also suddenly realized, how could Hua Qiongxian be bought by Liu Wei?
"Is there any explanation of this in the letter?"

Su Gian read the letter carefully again, and said: "It's not very detailed, it only said that Bai Xiaoyi from the Witch Sect killed people from the Witch Sect, and Hua Qiongxian, who was persecuted, finally cooperated with Liu Wei in order to protect himself."

King Jin nodded: "For self-protection, it is very possible that the young lord of the Witch Sect will seek refuge with me, Da Song, so there is nothing suspicious about it. Mr. Su, this king called you here because I want to know whether the willow flavor is still suitable for you." Stay in Xingwang Mansion."

"This..." Hearing King Jin's words, Su Tongkan couldn't help but be surprised. Liu Wei had done a good job as the magistrate in King Xing's mansion, so why isn't it suitable?However, Su Tong saw that he was a smart person, and he had been with King Jin for a long time. After hearing what King Jin said, he understood that King Jin was just as suspicious as the current emperor.

"If the prince is worried about Liu Wei's misbehavior, he can ask Wei Ping to monitor him more. If he wants him to be transferred from Xing Wang's mansion, he is afraid that there will be an excuse. After all, Liu Wei's management of Xing Wang's mansion is flourishing, so he is suddenly transferred. Leaving, unreasonable."

"Let's just say that he has made great achievements in suppressing thieves, so it's fine to go to Beijing and get promoted."

Su Tiaokan shook his head: "My lord is so confused, why did we transfer Liu Wei away from the capital at the beginning? Didn't we think Liu Wei staying in the capital would be a threat to us? The Holy Majesty should not reward him well? Make him an official? Even if the Holy Majesty has the same thoughts as the prince, how can he serve the public if he has meritorious officials? What's more, the Majesty does not necessarily have the same thoughts as the prince. This son-in-law of mine really likes it."

After Su Tong saw this, he didn't continue. In fact, he could say some things in more detail, but he couldn't. He will be stingy, but King Jin is different. When King Jin wants to fight for the throne, he often thinks of himself first, not the Great Song Dynasty.

Although Su Giankan didn't say some things carefully enough, what he said was enough to make King Jin understand one thing, that is, if he wanted Liu Wei to leave King Xing's mansion, he would never be promoted. Of course, there was a premise , That is Liu Weiken's 100% attachment to him, but Liu Wei does not. The relationship between Liu Wei and him, King Jin, has always been close.

Just when the king of Jin was talking about these things with Su Tong, Zhao Pu, the prime minister, had already entered Zhao Kuangyin's imperial study with Liu Wei's memorial.

Although Zhao Kuangyin already knew about the Xing Palace, when Zhao Pu delivered the memorial, he still showed surprise, but the surprise was short, he was an emperor, so he didn't need to act too much.

"Zeping, Liu Wei destroyed the Witch Sect and took back Qiongzhou Island. How do you think it will be rewarded?"

"Liu's concubine deserves a lot of credit, but how to reward, I can't say why, it's up to the Holy Majesty to decide."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled, he admired Zhao Pu's attitude very much, although he was already a prime minister, he still understood that he was only a prime minister, and many things still had to be decided by him, the emperor.

But when Zhao Kuangyin was laughing, he suddenly saw a name written on the memorial: Hua Qiongxian.

"This Hua Qiongxian seems to be the young master of the witch sect?"

"Exactly."

"It's really extraordinary that Liu Wei can buy him off." When Zhao Kuangyin said this, he was already thinking of Zhan Qing. If Liu Wei could even buy off the young master of the Witch Sect, then could he buy Zhan Qing? ?

This is extremely possible.

Zhao Pu is by no means a stupid person. When he heard Zhao Kuangyin's words, he seemed to suddenly understand. After he understood, he quickly explained for Liu Wei: "Actually, there has always been internal fighting in the witch sect. Hua Qiongxian is at a disadvantage. To save his life, he turned to Liu Wei."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, and then stopped talking about other things, as long as Zhao Pu went back and negotiated a regulation, and announced it at the morning court tomorrow, so that all the officials would cheer happily.
-
In the early morning of the next day, the weather was slightly cool and the fog did not go away.

Zhao Kuangyin announced in front of all the officials that Liu Wei had regained Qiongzhou Island and exterminated the witch sect, and then the entire court was shocked.

Many people thought this was unbelievable, but soon they all praised Liu Wei, and they couldn't praise Liu Wei more.

And those who have a grudge against Liu Wei kept silent, they hated Liu Wei to the core, thought that after getting him to Xing Wang's mansion, they wouldn't have to see his glorious appearance, but they didn't expect that even if he came to Xing Wang's mansion, It can also do amazing things.

No, absolutely can't let Liu Wei be so carefree.

"Your Majesty, Prince Concubine Liu is able to buy the young master of the Witch Sect, he is indeed a famous talent in the Song Dynasty." Pan Weiji suddenly stood up and said such a sentence when everyone praised Liu Wei.

At first he heard this sentence as if he was praising Liu Wei, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was really strange that Liu Wei, the exterminating witch sect, regained Qiongzhou Island.

How could he subdue the young master of the Witch Sect?
Just when everyone woke up like a dream, another official stood up and said: "According to what I know, this woman must have been the one who broke into the Forbidden Palace and assassinated Lord Pan Meipan during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"What, it was Hua Qiongxian who assassinated Master Pan back then?"

"What, she was the assassin who broke into the palace?"

All the officials were shocked. They never thought that the undercover agent of the Witch Sect that Liu Wei subdued turned out to be the Southern Han spy who broke into the palace and assassinated Pan Mei before.

"Break into the Forbidden Palace is a death penalty!"

There were still officials talking about it, but Jin Wang couldn't help but frowned deeply. He wasn't worried about Liu Weiyi or that Hua Qiongxian's situation. He felt that he was being deceived. Went to Liu Family Winery to arrest the assassin, but failed to catch him, but now it seems that the assassin was hiding in Liu Wei's Liu Family Winery at that time.

King Jin didn't like the feeling of being deceived very much. Apart from that, he was still a little puzzled. He had searched all over Liu's winery at that time. Where did Liu Wei hide that Hua Qiongxian?
Just when King Jin thought this way, many officials stood up and demanded that Hua Qiongxian be punished. Even if she surrendered, she must be killed. Otherwise, what is the law of Song Dynasty?

The ministers were furious, Zhao Kuangyin did not expect this, he did not even know that the female assassin who assassinated in the palace was Hua Qiongxian.

He hesitated a little, Hua Qiongxian could not be killed.

Just when Zhao Kuangyin was hesitating, Zhao Pu stood up. He is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty today, and he is the person who understands the mind of the Holy One best. Therefore, it is inconvenient for Zhao Kuangyin to say many things, so he has to stand up and say them.

"My lord, since Hua Qiongxian has already surrendered to my Great Song, my Great Song cannot kill her. If she is killed, how can people dare to surrender to my Great Song? If people don't surrender, they will fight us hard. In this way , my Great Song Dynasty will definitely suffer great damage."

Zhao Pu's voice was as bright as a bell, and every word echoed in the hall. The officials who were still filled with righteous indignation suddenly fell silent after hearing Zhao Pu's words.
The people in the court are not all considerate, but it does not mean that they are all stupid. As long as someone understands many things, they will understand immediately, and most of them will still take the national interest as their own. Heavy.

They have no enmity with Liu Wei, so why bother with Liu Wei? They wanted to kill Hua Qiongxian just now, but it was just for the face of the court, but if killing Hua Qiongxian is not good for Da Song to destroy other countries, then they Why did you kill Hua Qiongxian?

All the officials were silent, the hall was silent, Pan Mei was full of hatred, but as the prime minister, Zhao Pu was reasonable, which made him not know what to do for a while.

Just when Pan Meihen's teeth were itching, Lu Duoxun, who had been standing by the side and hadn't spoken much, suddenly said: "Your Prime Minister is right, for my Great Song to unify the world, Hua Qiongxian can't move. "

Now that even Lu Duoxun has said so, those officials will not mention the matter of killing Hua Qiongxian again. Seeing that the matter has calmed down, Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "All my lovers are all heroes of my Great Song Dynasty."

After saying this, Zhao Kuangyin asked again: "Is there anyone else who wants to play?"

Everyone glanced at each other, and then Lu Duoxun stood up: "My lord, a few days ago, my lord sent someone to the Southern Tang Dynasty to ask Li Yu, the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to come to me for a pilgrimage to see the results."

"Oh, then is Li Yu coming or not?"
