Chapter 336 Double Attack
But after he knelt down, he regretted it. Not only did his knees hurt so badly, but his posture was also very bad. The eyes of Qu Xiangwan and Gong Zaiyu watching the play were even more burning, almost burning him to death. Flushed with shame.

I also heard Duan Qingcheng say, "In terms of eloquence, the empress is also the best among people. It's just a pity that this prince was assassinated only two days ago, and the evidence has already been submitted to the Ministry of War for verification. It is indeed Bei Xi's birth. This prince I almost lost my life under the cold arrow. Since the murderer is related to Bei Xi, then please ask the royal family to hand over the murderer. This prince will naturally thank you with a great gift, and the emperor's birthday will not be left in the cold. This prince came from the south for thousands of miles. Originally, I really wanted to celebrate the emperor's birthday, but, unfortunately..."

After Duan Qingcheng finished speaking, he coughed. The posture was so violent that Duan Qingyan was startled.

Duan Xi behind him did the same, hurried forward to pick up the teapot to pour water, Duan Qingyan gave Duan Qingcheng another drink, and then calmed down.

But his words were resounding, hitting the hearts of Bei Xi's officials hard.

The empress was speechless for a moment, she never cared much about court affairs.Even if she pays attention, she can't say anything, the harem can't interfere in politics, she is the example of the queen's harem, so naturally she can't take the lead in making mistakes.

Furthermore, even if she made a speech for a moment at this moment, she would be caught by other concubines. She still has a crown prince, so the emperor must not think that they want to ascend the throne and can't wait.

The queen didn't speak, so there was no one to answer. Duan Qingcheng was about to continue the previous words, but Duan Qingyan grabbed the corner of his clothes and coughed again in an instant.

The news of the assassination of Nanqing's four princes has long been spread, and everyone in the capital knows that the murder weapon has been verified, and it is indeed produced by Beixi, but they all understand that this is a frame-up. To assassinate the envoy of another country at such a time, it is obvious that someone is sowing dissension and wants to destroy the friendly diplomatic relationship between Nanqing and Beixi.

"Fourth prince, please calm down. We have been investigating the murderer, but the fourth prince should also understand that this was deliberately done by someone to make us kill each other. We Beixi people will never be so sensitive Doing such a stupid thing at this time!" The Prime Minister straightened up and said loudly.

As soon as this remark came out, many ministers expressed their views one after another.

"What the prime minister said is that we, Beixi, would never do such a thing!"

"We will track down the murderer, but it's definitely not us!"

With such excuses, the first one spoke, followed by the second and third, and the whole scene suddenly became chaotic.

As soon as these words came out, the people in Beiye and Beiwu were immediately unhappy.

Before Mu Ye could open his mouth, a minister who was kneeling had already stood up, and shouted in a vigorous voice, "Your Excellency, do you mean that you are doubting our Kitano success?"

The prime minister was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that the sentence was ambiguous, and now the people from Kitano caught the quarrel, and he had to pester him endlessly.

"Don't be angry, my lord. We didn't mean that. It's just that the assassination of the fourth prince is really strange and there are many unreasonable things. Even though the arrow was pointed at Beixi, it was just a dead thing, and it wouldn't Talk. There are so many places in the world that make weapons, even if they can make the same ones, maybe someone is taking this opportunity to attack Bei Xi, so naturally we can't be negligent!" The prime minister said with a cold face.

The prime minister was a little helpless. These people who came today were actually here to find fault.

Let’s not talk about the assassin sooner, let’s talk about it on the emperor’s birthday. Isn’t this intentional to anger the emperor?

"The prime minister's intention is that others intentionally frame Bei Xi! But as most people think, the murderer will definitely be located in Bei Ye. Bei Xi and Nan Qing will kill each other, and Bei Ye will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Such an idea It is indeed very good. The struggle between Beixi and Nanqing has indeed existed for a hundred years, even if the Prime Minister is sophistry, don't count our Beiye in it." Another Beiye envoy stood up.

Ever since Mu Ye came down, he sat between Xunranqin and Xunranchen. At this moment, Dugu Xiaoyin moved forward, and Xunranqin slightly leaned back. His figure was petite. The person who is wearing it can't see it.

Hearing the two envoys' excuses, Xun Ranqin tugged on Mu Ye's sleeve, looked at him with contempt, and whispered, "Brother Ye, your ministers of Beiye are too cunning, obviously they are the ones on the ground. It's too cold to kneel, but you insist on pretending to be heroic and loyal, and impassionedly cry for Beiye's grievances, it's really shameless!"

Because of the birthday banquet, carpets were laid wherever there were guests, but now it’s winter, and when it’s snowing heavily, even if there is a layer of cold insulation, it still can’t stop the cold air from under the marble from invading.

The two old guys clearly saw that most of them who did not kneel down were people with special identities, not even their crown prince. It would be too detrimental to the state for them to do so, so they found a reason and stood up. Also plausible, pretending to be decent.

Mu Ye laughed lightly, reached out and grabbed Xun Ranqin's ear, and said softly, "Qin'er, you have sharp eyes, you can even see this!"

It's not that their ministers in Beiye are smart, but the situation forced them to do it as a last resort.

Nanqing took the lead in starting the mileage of non-cooperation, and Beiye naturally couldn't fall behind.

Taking advantage of the fire at this time is very necessary.

As the prince of Beiye, he must not lose their demeanor of a big country, but his words will inevitably attract people's tongues and fall into the shoes of others.Only by taking action from some highly respected ministers can they show their grief and indignation when their country is wronged.

"Just protect them!"

Xun Ranqin made a grimace, ignored Mu Ye, hugged Dugu Xiaoyin's arm with one hand, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This occasion is the most suitable for watching a play.

She'd better choose to listen to the play, to save some effort.

Mu Ye just looked over and found that Xun Ranqin was ready to fall asleep, so he didn't say anything.

He also heard the prime minister say angrily, "It's just an arrow, how can it be determined that the murderer is Bei Xi's man, it would be too absurd to judge rashly!"

The minister rose up to retort, "Since it cannot be concluded that the murderer is Bei Xi's person, then we, Bei Ye, cannot be included in the list of suspects. We have always done things aboveboard. Please pay attention to your criticism when you speak, Prime Minister."

Neither of the two parties is willing to lag behind, and they rely on their intellect and eloquence to fight with each other.

On the contrary, the fourth prince who first provoked this war of words was very quiet, sitting there without saying a word, occasionally drinking lightly with a glass of wine, and occasionally looking at the bored girl beside him.

"Shut up, you bunch of idiots!" The old man came out of the emperor's mouth with a majestic voice, without any sense of disobedience.

In the cold wind, although the gray hair was tied in a hair crown, it was already messy. The emperor stood there, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his face was old and weak, except for the pair of pupils that looked like eagle eyes, which were cold and straight. To stare at someone is to see through that person.

But his words also tell the world that such a person should be the kind of person who casually calls other people stupid.

After being scolded by the emperor, not only the people kneeling below fell silent, even the empress and the prime minister, who were fighting for Beixi's reason, blushed and lost the courage to continue speaking.

The two ministers of Kitano are also very good at watching their faces. They have found their seats and sat down, with a look of enjoyment on their faces. It's still cool to sit!

After that, he gloated and looked at the other kneeling people.

When there was no more noise, the emperor turned his gaze to the few people in the corner, opened his lips slightly, and said coldly, "The fourth prince was assassinated in the capital. It is indeed that the security of the imperial city has gone wrong. I am really sorry that the fourth prince I was injured in the capital. But the assassin you want, I have already been investigated. No matter who is found out, I will not let it go, Fourth Prince, don't worry!"

After the emperor finished speaking, the others all looked at him in astonishment, obviously contradicting the emperor, why wasn't he punished?

Dugu smiled and shook his head, seemingly apologizing, but in fact it was just putting pressure.

As an emperor, as an elder, it is already a spectacle in the world to let go of one's status and apologize to the younger generation.His humble attitude of admitting his mistakes changed the world's impression of Bei Xi.

But for ordinary people, the emperor has said this, and it is time to step down after giving a step, but Duan Qingcheng is not that kind of person, and will not bow his head easily.

He has always followed his own temper, just like the accompanying ministers of Nanqing are giving him winks, but Duan Qingcheng turns a blind eye.

He only heard him say, "Since the emperor said so, the prince is waiting for the news. If the murderer is caught, the emperor is reluctant to do it. Please send him to Nanqing, and the prince will treat him well!"

Duan Qingyan looked at Duan Qingcheng in surprise, she never felt that her imperial brother had such an aggressive aura before, but today she found out that she is quite handsome.

Others sighed "tsk tsk" again, gasping for breath, and some people who watched the show even had their faces twisted.

What Duan Qingcheng meant, he was still holding on to the clue that the murderer was Bei Xi, not to mention that his thinking like this was too arbitrary, just based on the fact that he was the victim, the emperor could do anything to him, let alone him There is also an identity, the fourth prince of Nanqin.

Not to mention an unfavored prince, even if it is someone else's minister, it would be an insult to other countries if he was injured, no one would swallow that breath.

Duan Qingcheng was not someone to be provoked in the first place, and the fact that he was assassinated was enough to make him fuss.

"Good! Good! Good!" Standing in the wind, the emperor clapped his hands tremblingly, and said three good words in succession, obviously out of breath.
