Evil King's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 379
The prime minister kept the matter of setting up an army privately very secret, but one night when he was out of the mansion, his wife found out, making a fuss and arguing that he had raised a woman outside, so the prime minister had no choice but to tell the truth.

It's just that he never thought that he would spoil his good deed because of this.

When he was taken into prison by the guards of the imperial court, the prime minister couldn't figure out what the problem was, since he had done a good enough job of keeping secrets.As long as the time is right, he can lead the army into the palace, as long as he can control Danxin, the throne will be his.

Until seeing his wife appearing in the prison, he said to him: "Husband, I'm sorry, I was the one who listened to the queen's words in a moment of confusion and confessed the matter, otherwise you wouldn't be in jail."

"You, it's you!" The prime minister turned pale with shock, he never thought that he was betrayed by the person next to him.

Sighing, "Fate, everything is fate." Thinking that he has devoted himself to Qi for so many years, if he continues to serve the country sincerely, he might still be famous in history.It's his fault for being confused for a while, and he got out of control when he tasted the benefits of power when Su Qingyang was not in charge of the government.

The prime minister's wife cautiously walked to the prime minister's side, "I'm sorry husband, I hurt you."

"I don't blame you, it's God's will." When the prime minister first entered the officialdom, he also thought about how to serve the country, but he was gradually corrupted by the officialdom and became what he is now.Thinking about it now, it was right for the empress to defend her own country, and it was also right for the wife to exterminate his relatives righteously and expose him, and it was even more right for him to want to go to the next level.

The mistake was that what he met was Dan Xin, the first empress of the Five Kingdoms, who was definitely not as gentle and harmless as she appeared on the surface.

"Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately. I will make it clear to the queen that the rebellion is only my idea and has nothing to do with you. I beg her to spare your life." It's hard, not to mention, the two have three children, the youngest one is less than ten years old.

They are already about to lose their father, and they must not be allowed to lose their mother again.

The prime minister's wife shook her head, "It's all my fault. If you die, my husband, I will definitely not live." Before the prime minister could react, she slammed her head against the wall.

"Ma'am, ma'am!! Come on, someone is dead."

In the imperial study room, under the guidance of Su Qingyang, Danxin has already learned how to review memorials and deal with state affairs.It's just that there are some things that I don't understand, I still have to ask Su Qingyang or Su Hao for advice.

After taking down the prime minister, he felt relaxed and relaxed, and it became easier to handle the memorial.In the evening, the palace servants rushed to report, "Empress, the Prime Minister's wife hit the wall and committed suicide. The Prime Minister was overwhelmed and went with her."

"What?" Danny dropped the brush in his hand on the table in shock, and the ink smeared on the paper.

After stabilizing his mind, he looked at the person who came to sue, "You said it, but it's true?"

"Empress, it's not your fault, don't think too much about it." At dinner, Qing'er saw Danxin's loss of appetite, and learned that she was worried about the death of the prime minister and his wife, so she couldn't help arguing for Danxin, "Prime Minister Hiding the intention of treason, the prime minister's wife concealed it and did not report it, which is a crime. What's more, both of them committed suicide, and they have nothing to do with you, the empress."

"But I was the one who harmed them after all." Dan Xin supported her forehead and sighed uncontrollably.

Just as soon as he ascended the throne, he died, and it is unknown how many things will happen in the future.Dan Xin flinched a little in her heart, "Why don't I return the throne to Brother Qing Yang while he's still here?" Maybe it was a mistake to take on this heavy responsibility at the beginning.

When Su Qingyang learned that Danxin felt guilty for the prime minister's death, she hurried over with Ye Lingxu, just in time to hear her last words, and said with a stern face, "Is it true that the throne will be given up at will? I have passed on the throne I’ve given it to you, if you pass it on to me again, won’t people in the world think that Qi State is fickle, and who will dare to cooperate with Qi State in the future?”

"Me." Ye Lingxu raised his eyebrows.

"I'm persuading Danxin, what are you messing around with?" Su Qingyang glared at Ye Lingxu angrily, and continued to turn his head to comfort Danxin, "If you don't want to be the queen now, won't you Let the world think you are a timid person?"

He lowered his eyes lightly, "I am timid, and I am also afraid of getting into trouble. They are telling the truth."

what!Su Qingyang went crazy, "You are not such a person."

The more Su Qingyang comforted her, the lower Danxin lowered her head, and finally almost buried it in the bowl.

Seeing this, Ye Lingxu patted Su Qingyang on the shoulder to signal him to step back and let him do it.

Su Qingyang gave Ye Lingxu the seat close to Danxin with hope, but he didn't expect that after he sat down, he only cared about the rice in his bowl. "What to eat, I asked you to calm down, not to eat. Eat again, be careful that I tear your mouth."

"Why are you so fierce?" Su Qingyang didn't stop eating at all, and said as she ate, "Let her go if she wants to. Anyway, she has already carried the curse, no matter whether she goes or not. , the people have to scold her for a while."

Pale heart turned pale, "What nonsense are you talking about, I don't want to do this, the death of the prime minister and his wife is completely unexpected to me."

"In that case, why are you hiding? The more you hide, the more the people will only believe that you did the thing." Seeing that his indifferent heart finally paid attention to him, Ye Lingxu put down his chopsticks, "Like before, I I always thought that the country of Qi is close to the sea, so I must eat seafood every day. But I realized that this is not the case when I got here, you also eat vegetables and other people."

Dumbfounded, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say that the common people think that you killed the prime minister and his wife. After all, it's just their opinion. What you have to do now is not to hide away, but to do it yourself like me, tell everyone and yourself, The prime minister's matter has nothing to do with you, what you do is right."

Ye Lingxu's words caused Danxin to fall into deep thought, his eyes were microscopic, "Do it yourself, tell everyone that I am right?"

Ye Lingxu nodded, "That's right, you are right about this matter, and the prime minister is also right, at least he still has a sense of shame, and he still feels guilty after his evil deeds are exposed."

"According to you, the prime minister's death is because he suddenly came to his senses, is it a good thing?"

"That's right." Ye Lingxu said with a smile: "At least in this way, he can preserve his good reputation and not let the world know. In fact, he, the prime minister, has already planned to rebel. I advise you to tell the matter to the prime minister's children. , and emphasized that you will not make it public when the prime minister intends to rebel, that is your mercy."

Danxin became more and more confused, "How can I go around, I have done nothing wrong, but I have become a good person?"

"Things have two sides. It's just that the starting point is different, and what you see is also different." Ye Lingxu glanced at Danxin, "Even if the world misunderstands that you killed the prime minister, it is a good thing, at least let the insider know, dare to rebel , this is the end!"

The more I listened to Ye Lingxu's words calmly, the more I felt that this was a good thing, but it was a pity for the prime minister, who was also a highly respected minister in the past.

Silent for a long time, Danxin finally figured it out, "It seems to be the case, so how about it, pass the decree to bury the prime minister and his wife, but I think it's better not to tell his children about the prime minister's rebellion, so as not to let the children die." Young people can't take such a blow."

If you think about it, you will know that the father I respected very much on weekdays has turned into a traitor overnight. How many children can bear what kind of blow?
Ye Lingxu's eyes turned cold, "It's not right, this may cause troubles in the future, you have to think clearly."

"Let's talk about the future, I don't want to implicate the innocent children in the past." Dan Xin firmly stated that he could not tell his children about the prime minister's treason.

Ye Lingxu and Su Qingyang looked at each other, and they nodded helplessly, "Okay, we'll listen to you."

The next day, Danxin issued several imperial edicts:

First, in the following year, the name of the country was changed to the name of Danxin: "Danxin", which gave amnesty to the world. Since then, the world of Danxin has been called "Queen of Danxin".

Second, the prime minister and his wife are more affectionate than gold, and they are specially given to enter the acupuncture point together, which can be regarded as a perfect match for the two of them;
Third, the son of the prime minister, the eldest son canonized as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he will learn court etiquette with the Minister of Rites, and will serve the country in the future; the second son and the youngest daughter are still young, and they will be given to the Duke of Zhen as righteous sons and daughters. Anyway, decide for yourself.

With the three imperial decrees, the whole country was boiling. Although the prime minister's affairs suppressed the officials of the court, it could not suppress the dissatisfaction of the people.Everyone is boiling: how can a woman be enthroned as the emperor?

Seeing that the people are dissatisfied and the people's livelihood complains, he directly takes out the tiger talisman that Su Hao gave him before, "Whoever holds this tiger talisman can mobilize the whole country's troops and horses. If anyone dares to refuse, he will fight against the whole country of Qi!"

As soon as the tiger talisman was lit, the people were speechless for a moment. After all, the power of the people was still insignificant compared to the strength of hundreds of thousands of troops.

In the imperial study room, Su Qingyang stared at the tiger talisman with wide-eyed eyes, "Empress Danxin, I already thought it was pretty good when you took the emperor's uncle away from Jingzhou by hiding the truth. I didn't expect..." Turning her eyes to look Xiang Suhao, "I didn't expect that Empress Danxin's deceitful crossing of the sea was learned from your uncle. Didn't you smash the tiger amulet and throw it into the golden pool in front of me?"

Su Hao rolled his eyes, "I lost it, but I didn't say it was real, it's just a gold medal for avoiding death." After speaking, he smiled gently and patted Su Qingyang on the shoulder, "Qingyang, you have to learn There are a lot more."

"No, no, no." Su Qingyang shook his head hastily, "I'm born dull, and I really can't learn it. So I'm very self-aware, and I passed the throne to Danxin directly. Hahaha!" Su Qingyang shouted to the sky, and waited. With Danxin in his hands, he can take Xiao Xinyuan to fly high and travel around the world.

Calmly processing the memorial in hand, listening to the bickering between Su Qingyang and Su Hao below, I just feel that the current situation seems to be not bad?
"Ahem..." Outside the imperial study room, Ye Lingxu looked at the smile on Danxin's mouth, and suddenly felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and ran away before covering his mouth and coughing.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Why don't you tell Empress Danxin directly, she will forgive you." Yun Huan once again wanted to persuade Ye Lingxu.

As expected, Ye Lingxu shook his head again, "Don't tell her, she has a lot of things to do now, and I can't be her burden."

At the beginning of May, when spring goes to summer, the weather in Qi starts to get hotter.

Danxin, who has always been most afraid of heat, is really suffering in summer. After going to court early every day, he hides in Tsinghua Palace and soaks in cold water to cool off the heat.

"I can't do that." On this day, Ye Lingxu was guarding the gate of Tsinghua Palace, just in time to catch Danxin who was getting dressed in the water.Shen Sheng said: "This will damage your body."

Danxin seems to remember that around this time last year, someone also said to her: "This is not good for your health. The Mu family has a summer resort outside the city. I will take you and Xiao Baoer to go there together."

But in the blink of an eye, the speaker disappeared, and even Xiao Baoer was no longer by her side...

"Ye Lingxu, do you want to cooperate with me?" Danxin said suddenly.
