Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 48
Gongsun Jing frowned and approached, came to Mu Qing's side and whispered: "Do you really want to rebel?"

"Don't worry, my lord." Mu Qing smiled lightly, stepped forward a few steps, and then said with full authority: "I am Su Muqing, a first-rank official appointed by the emperor. I have something to say, and I wonder if you would like to listen to it?" listen!"

The people were stunned for a moment. Although they didn't understand what the queen meant, as long as it was what the queen said now, they would naturally remember every word and never disobey.So almost in an instant, all the people in this place fell silent and waited for Mu Qing quietly.

Gongsun Jing snorted coldly and turned his head to look elsewhere.

However, unlike Gongsun Jing, Beitang Mo's eyes became deeper and deeper.

Although Taifu Gongsun ignored the people because of what he said, but Su Muqing was very annoyed that the people listened carefully to what he said.But as a bystander, if you can clear away all the fog in front of you, you will find a very interesting thing.

The mob just now has been dazzled by the blood, wishing they could rush up to the high platform and drag those officials down, they didn't even have the chance for Grand Tutor Gongsun to read the imperial decree.But at this moment, everyone was listening quietly, without even a single sound or rebuttal.

As the saying goes, if you want to quell chaos, unless you use force, you need words, and you have to make the listener sincerely accept what you say.Otherwise, no matter how good the eloquence is, an official who meets a mob who can't hear a word will be useless.

Based on the situation just now, this barrier is extremely difficult to break through.

Gongsun Jing couldn't break through, Jin Yiwei couldn't break through, and all the officials here, big and small, couldn't break through.However, it was easily broken by Su Muqing following the trend.

"What will I say next...?" Beitang Mo slightly curled his lips, his eyes revealing some expectation.

Seeing that all the people who had become chaotic finally calmed down, Mu Qing gave a little sigh of relief.As soon as the eyes rolled, they changed into a weak smile.She turned around and took out a medium-sized box from the gauze curtain just now, turned around and said: "I heard that everyone has been in the imperial city for a day and a night waiting for me to leave the palace, so I can't bear it, so Take out all your life savings." Mu Qing smiled lightly, and deliberately emphasized the two words, and seeing the people staring at her box in a daze with curiosity, she spoke again, "In order to thank everyone for your love and love for me, this official I decided to solve a riddle, and if anyone can guess it, I will give all the contents of this box to the person who guesses right."

When the people heard it, they were all moved by Mu Qing's words.

Just guessing.

Among the refugees, there are still many literati and elegant guests. If it were not for natural disasters, they would not be here. If they can regain the foundation of their fortunes by themselves, why not, why not!Moreover, since the queen asked them to guess the riddle, how could they refuse such a small request.So a tall man shouted: "Empress, you are the one who decides the question! We will listen to what the empress says!" After he finished speaking, another short man also shouted: " That's right! The queen made the question! We all listen to the queen!"

Following the shouts of these two people, all the people were still a little confused at first, but now they were completely flushed with blood, and they also shouted.

Hearing the uproarious sound, Gongsun Jing frowned.It's inexplicable that such a wrong thing happened when he was so nervous.If you want him to say, at this time, he should persuade these rioters well and let them know who is the biggest benefactor.

Guessing?Heh...children's tricks!

Gongsun Jing snorted coldly, looked away, then lowered his voice, and said in a disdainful tone: "Don't be a rebellious word, queen."

When Mu Qing heard this, she almost laughed out loud.In the dark, this loyal adult really likes to put a high hat on her.So he shook his head and said with a soft smile: "When you are having fun, there are mysteries. Just look at it."

Gongsun Jingqing coughed twice, and stood back to his original position, clasping his hands behind his back, wanting to see what kind of tricks this Su Muqing has.

Standing on the table with one hand in the teahouse, Beitang Mo raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, while looking at Liu Xiangguo, whose expression still hadn't recovered, "Master Xiangguo, let's guess together?"

When Liu Xiangguo heard it, his face became even more ashen, and while wiping the wetness on his body just now, he snorted coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I don't have such leisure!"

"That's a pity." Beitang Mo said indifferently, and looked down at Mu Qing with a happy mood.

He knew that the situation at this moment was like an arrow on the string.If she can't think of a way to persuade the people to take back the "Long Live the Queen", once they accidentally touch the rebellious hearts of these refugees, then... chaos will break out immediately.Before she can go back, the lives of these ministers may be hanging by a thread.

"Be cautious." Beitang Mo said to himself, then picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then looked at Liu Xiangguo and said, "The Dahongpao here is pretty good, Mr. Xiangguo, don't you want to try it?" Do you want to taste it?"

Hearing Beitangmo's words, Liu Xiangguo was almost ashamed.So he gave Beitang Mo a hard look, and said: "My lord likes it, so drink more, lest you won't be able to drink it in the future!"

Beitang Mo smiled slightly with sideways eyes, and just said something meaningful, "That's really a pity." After speaking, he turned his gaze to Mu Qing who was below, and did not look at Liu Xiangguo with a livid face.

"Queen, what riddle do you want us to guess? Quickly come up with a puzzle!" The tall man shouted again, seeming to enjoy it, "Queen, don't forget the reward!"

The people around Yuyu also laughed, as if silently erasing the riotous atmosphere not long ago, instead they were filled with joy.

Holding the box with one hand, Mu Qing took two steps to the left and two steps to the right on the stage, and then walked down the high platform step by step without fear of danger.

When Shen Yun saw it, he immediately became more alert. The moment Mu Qing wanted to walk past him, he subconsciously grabbed Mu Qing's wrist, and said coldly: "If you take this step, there will be no Jin Yiwei." You can protect your mother."

Mu Qing smiled faintly, brushed Shen Yunzhi's hand off her wrist, just shook her head slightly, and stepped into the middle of those common people without the slightest hesitation.

The moment she entered the circle, all the people were amazed, they couldn't believe that the empress, who was so high above, could really step down from the high platform to stand with ordinary people like them.

Everyone didn't dare to make a mess, they just stepped aside as Mu Qing stepped in, until Mu Qing came to a teahouse not far away.

She first looked up at the prince above, smiled faintly, then found the shopkeeper, asked for a wooden carved chair, and then moved it to an open space by herself.

This piece of land is without any embellishment. When the chair is placed, the four corners of the chair can't help but sink into the soil.Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mu Qing picked up a small wooden branch and wrote the word "Wang" heavily on the ground.When the last stroke was settled, Mu Qing swiftly closed it.

Everyone was really confused by the Queen's series of inexplicable actions, and they couldn't guess what she was thinking.

Mu Qing was not in a hurry, her eyes swept over all the people in front of her, then she took a step back slightly, flipped the hem of the official robe, and sat firmly on the carved wooden chair.Then she said with a smile in a steady and unfazed voice: "This is the question. Please guess it." people.A light and gentle wind blew up around her, gently blowing the hair around her temples, but making her clear eyes under the blush at the moment look even more beautiful.

"king?"

"What does it mean?"

"Is it a word split?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone fell into confusion, some scratched their heads, some closed their eyes and pondered, and some simply stopped thinking about it.Beitang Mo in the teahouse also frowned slightly, and fell into the puzzle given by Mu Qing.

king?
Beitang Mo thought about it, dipped in some water again, and repeatedly split and merged the word on the table, but he still couldn't understand it.

"What's the meaning behind it?" Beitang Mo said to himself, deep in thought, sighed a long time, then looked at Li Ruobai, who was also in a daze, and said, "Ruobai, what do you think?"

Ruobai was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the word "Wang" written on the bottom of the teahouse, but shook his head in confusion, as if he was the same as him, and couldn't figure it out.

Beitang Mo closed his gaze, and looked at Mu Qing again.

This question is not easy to guess. Can the common people really come up with a solution to this question in such a short and anxious state?

Or, what kind of mist did this little woman dissipate?
……

In the midst of this silence, suddenly a young man shouted loudly: "The empress...no, my lord, are you a prince or general?"

Mu Qing brightened her lips, then quietly shook her head.At this moment, she tapped the handle of the carved wooden chair with her fingertips, as if she was counting something, but this small movement was also noticed by Beitang Mo.

"Is that the king of the earth?" someone else replied.

Mu Qing still shook her head silently, and at the same time lightly moved the handle of the wooden chair.

At this time, Beitang Mo on the teahouse suddenly thought of something, frowned, and looked at the word "Wang" on the ground.

This puzzle is indeed as the person said, perhaps together with this piece of land, it is also part of the puzzle.

King and earth, king and earth...

Beitang Mo was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly looked down at Mu Qing, from top to bottom, from left to right, from the officials, to the official uniform on Mu Qing, to the specially selected piece of land, and then to the ground. The "king" character.

His handsome eyes trembled suddenly, and then they got wet again, and he quickly put these things together on the table.

It turns out that it's not just the word "king"!

It turns out that everything here is a puzzle!
What is it?
The corners of Beitang Mo's lips became deeper and deeper, and the smile in his eyes became more and more intense.When the final touch was settled, he smiled quietly.

The two neat lines of words made the eyes of Li Ruobai who was watching from the side tremble suddenly.Then he looked at Beitang Mo in surprise, swallowed his saliva lightly, and then whispered in a tentative tone: "My lord... Could this be..."

Beitang Mo chuckled twice, and looked sideways at Mu Qing, who happened to also look up at him.It was after seeing Beitang Mo's smiling face and the words slowly mouthed, Mu Qing frowned and let out a long sigh.

The lord is indeed a lord, how can such a small skill be difficult for him?However, it doesn't matter, as long as you guess it, even if you can't guess it, she will try her best to make the people guess it.

Thinking about it, Mu Qing closed her eyes, felt the slight wind, and fell into deep thought.

Persuading the people to retreat only lies in one word "persuade".

If it was just verbal persuasion, then what Su Muqing said now, although these people would listen to her words and shout "Long live the emperor", they still continued to shout "Long live the queen" in their hearts.Then she is persuading her to fail. She is afraid that as soon as the people leave, she, Su Muqing, may die under the random arrows. If she retreats ten thousand steps, she will be given the title of "dead of illness", and see you in the hell .

Therefore, today's persuasion must make everyone submit to the emperor from the bottom of their hearts, and no longer have two hearts.

And the words of "persuasion" are in the puzzle.

When the mystery is revealed, it is the time when the real arrow is on the string!

Thinking of this, Mu Qing took another deep breath and raised her lips lightly, as if she was not worried that the people would not be able to figure it out.And her light smile, seen in Beitang Mo's eyes, can be interpreted thoroughly, so she smiled dotingly, looked back at Li Ruobai and said: "This woman seems to be gambling, Never gambled."

Li Ruobai was puzzled after hearing this.Beitang Mo just smiled meaningfully, turned his eyes to look at the common people, and said lightly: "Someone will definitely guess it, this king and you, take a gamble."

Li Ruobai breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at everyone below.

It seems to be gambling, but it has never been gambling.If his understanding is correct, what the lord means is... the queen's gamble with her life was not done lightly, but she knew everything clearly.How far would it take to achieve this... Empress, can it really be done?
Could it be that among those people there are...

Half a stick of incense time has passed quietly.The finger placed on the handle of the carved wooden chair has already been clicked many times, and if you click it again, No. 30 will be filled.But when No.30 was played, there was another mystery.As long as there is another answer, whether it is true or not, it will be like a broken string, breaking the silence that has been stalemate for half a stick of incense.

As long as there is one more answer, as long as there is one more answer... Mu Qing lowered her eyes and meditated in her heart.

Suddenly, the young man who was the first to answer the riddle rushed to the front again, shouting loudly: "My lord, I understand! The riddle is the mystery of heaven and earth, and I am the only king!"

Mu Qing couldn't help but chuckled, and then slowly raised her eyes, her shrewd eyes showed a different seriousness, "Wrong." The first time Mu Qing spoke, instead of shaking her head to veto, she just When these two words floated out, there seemed to be some restlessness among the people.

And Mu Qing seemed to be waiting for that restlessness, so she slowly stood up from the seat.

"Here we come." Beitang Mo said. He got up from the seat and stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was also waiting for something.

On the other side, Liu Xiangguo glanced at Beitang Mo, and felt that something was wrong, so he also got up to find out.

At this time, Mu Qing, who had already stood up, looked at everyone silently, she sighed a long time, pretending to regret: "It seems that I want to take those savings back to the palace again, there is no use for them .”

Seeing that the queen was about to leave, all the people suddenly became a lot more irritable. The atmosphere seemed to be another riot.

On the stage, Gongsun Jing almost wrung his brows to death.If he guessed correctly, the two lines of words that Su Muqing wrote on the scroll that day should be the answer to this puzzle.It was just two simple sentences, but he really didn't understand why this woman made such a big turn?Wouldn't it be the most direct to issue the announcement directly, or read it out.Moreover, she was deliberately disappointed, causing the people who had finally calmed down to become restless again.

Inexplicable, simply inexplicable!
It's really hard to guess what this woman is thinking!
Su Muqing glanced sideways, but read the old loyal minister's eyes clearly, so she suddenly opened her mouth and said to the following: "Lord Gongsun has always been a good official loved by the people, so at this time, I will look at the face of Lord Gongsun , Let another person guess, if you can't guess again, I have no choice but to let it go."

As soon as the words came out, there was a big wind among the people.

The money that could obviously make a fortune is now like a duck with its mouth full, disappearing.

How can you not be in a hurry, how can you not be in a hurry? !

As a result, these common people who were eager to live a stable life began to speculate wildly like ants on a hot pot. There were many discussions among the people, but no one dared to speak publicly.

Until someone quietly said from the bottom: "Could it be... everything here is this puzzle?"

A smile curled up on the corner of Mu Qing's lips, and she slowly clenched her hands behind her back.

Good show, this is the real beginning.

After listening to the man's words, all the anxious people suddenly realized, and as expected, they began to mutter: "King, soil...official uniform...queen...minister..."

At this moment, these words are like a spell, spreading everywhere, waiting for someone to finally string them together.

The person who spoke just now whispered again: "Could it be that sentence...Under the sky...What came from under the sky...?"

The man seemed to be scratching his head deliberately, as if he couldn't remember anything.

Everything was as expected before. Among these refugees, many were people with some knowledge in the past. Their eyes lit up one after another, and before the person could remember, they stood up and shouted: "All the people in the world!" Could it be..."

Before he could finish speaking, all the people around seemed to be reminded by that person, they stood up and rushed towards Mu Qing like crazy, and then seemed to use all their strength Like that, he shouted hysterically: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the shore of the land!!"

In an instant, the tens of thousands of people surrounding here were all anxious, wanting to prove that it was what they said, shouting desperately.

At this moment, Gongsun Jing was stunned, Beitang Mo on the teahouse slowly moved his lips, and even Liu Xiangguo was shocked there.

Because at this moment, the whole world is no longer the original "Long live the Queen, long live, long live", but a voice that shakes mountains and rivers even more, with a courage that almost tears the world, the sound echoes in this capital.

"Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's subject!!!"

Beitang Mo shook his head, gripped the fence with more force, and a ray of green light flickered in his glazed eyes.

What a woman who can read people's hearts!

In this case, no matter what form anyone tells these people who have lost their minds, it will not help at all.

Who would believe what the government said!

But only what you guess, what you say, and what you read will be engraved in your heart and you will truly believe it!

A little trick turned things around.

but……

It was at this moment that Beitang Mo's lips parted slightly, and Su Muqing's lips parted slightly, as if at the same time, they both said slowly in a voice that only she could hear: "It's not enough."

So at the moment when the bursts of screams were moving across the sky, Mu Qing suddenly threw off her robe, lifted her hem without any scruples and walked up to the high platform, shouting loudly: "That's right, is there any king in the world? Is Bin Mo Fei Wang Chen!!" She suddenly took her own box, put it in front of everyone, and said, "Since I guessed it, I will also distribute my life savings to everyone." After finishing speaking, she chuckled With a single sound, the wooden box was easily opened.

The moment the box lid was lifted, Beitang Mo lost his mind for a moment, as if he suspected that his eyes were wrong.The common people were in an uproar, thinking like Beitang Mo that their eyes had made a mistake.

Inside the wooden box, there was only a jade bracelet and a gold hairpin, which were placed there alone, and even if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find the location of those two things.

Where is the gold, silver and jewelry?Where is the gold everywhere?
Where is the hope they used to rebuild their homeland? !
"The queen is teasing us..."

"Yeah... This... This may be the painstaking effort of a lifetime..."

"It's just... how could the queen be so..."

Hearing everyone's doubts, Mu Qing twitched the corners of her lips and said, "That's right, I only have so much savings."
