Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 395 Counterattack
"King Qi—" When he saw Fang Yan sitting on the soft couch alive, leaning on the huge spotted silk pouch behind his back, he suddenly had the urge to cry.

The man did not flick his tears lightly. In the end, with a slight nasal sound, he arched his hands at Fang Yan and laughed. Looking at Shen Xinniang standing beside him, he sighed, "The princess is really impressive. From yesterday, the prince When the accident happened, until I left, the whole night, the princess looked at each other differently, and she was not panicked at all. When the whereabouts of the prince was unknown, and we could hardly see hope, it was the princess who firmly believed that the prince must still stick to it and wait! A certain couple before The princess has misunderstood, and I hope that the princess will let go of the past."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands at Shen Xinniang again.

Shen Xinniang returned the salute with a nod of her head, "General Gongsun, you are being polite."

Gongsun Ling saw that Fang Yan looked fine, so he hurriedly got back to the topic, "I came back from the palace, and General Xie was so angry! He asked for orders to go to the northwest, and asked for orders to fight, saying that he must expel Turks from far away. Northwest, even if he can't replace General Yu, he is willing to be General Yu's striker! He can't afford to kneel outside the study of the Holy Master, and leads a large group of civil servants and generals to persecute the Holy Master! It's disgusting!"

Fang Yan frowned lightly when he heard the words, "Are you leaving now?"

"Where did you go? Still kneeling!"

"Does Your Majesty know about Cai Xiang?"

After Fang Yan asked, Gongsun Ling shook his head and looked up at Fang Yan, "What should I say? If the Holy Majesty asks the prince, how can I respond?"

Gongsun Ling felt sore again when he thought of the situation yesterday when he couldn't find Fang Yan.What he never imagined was that the seemingly weak Princess Qi was so strong, not so strong as a woman.She was still sitting on the stone beside her, tilting her head and squinting for a while, but she just stared blankly all night.If it weren't for her unwavering belief, she would lock her target in a smaller range, and the Shence Army doesn't know if she can persist like that until she finds the secret compartment where the mechanism is set up, and can she still have a breath in the prince? Did you find the prince in time?

The concubine is strong, but it's hard for him to explain it to the Holy Majesty.What's more, the faction of the main fighters is forcing the palace. If the Holy Majesty knows that the life and death of Prince Qi, who has been advocating peace, is unknown, then the Holy Majesty will not even have the confidence to persist.

"The Holy Majesty has been urging me why the prince has not entered the palace. Fortunately, the prince was rescued. Otherwise, this matter would not have been hidden from the Holy Majesty today." Gongsun Ling said.

"Enter the palace." Fang Yan nodded, "Since they won't leave, let's shake off the truth now. I want to see how stubborn General Xie is."

Fang Yan wanted to sit up from the soft couch, but he fell back immediately due to the pain in his chest.

"My lord is still wounded, so let's enter the palace tomorrow? They love to kneel, so let them kneel!" Gongsun Ling waved his hand and said, but he clearly didn't mean that in his eyes. He looked at Fang Yan expectantly, only looking forward to him If you can get up immediately, you can enter the palace immediately to clean up the situation.

Shen Xinniang turned around and poured him a glass of water. It was pure spiritual spring water without any other substances, and there seemed to be a faint spiritual energy on the water. She turned around and handed the spiritual spring water to Fang Yan, "My lord, drink the water first."

Fang Yan looked up at her, thinking that she would hope that she would have a good rest at the mansion, and was reluctant for him to enter the palace. If he wanted to enter the palace, she would definitely stop her, but she would take the initiative to help him enter the palace.

Fang Yan quickly took the water, and the faint natural fragrance lingered in his nose.

"Xin'er, thank you."

Gongsun Ling curled his lips aside, just pouring a glass of water, there is no need to be so sensational, right?Also thank you?
Fang Yan gulped down a glass of water. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or the spiritual spring water took effect very quickly. He actually felt as if his chest was filled with a hot current. He felt warm and comfortable, and the pain became vaguely felt. Not clear anymore.

Supported by Shen Xinniang, he sat up from the soft couch, stood up and greeted Gongsun Ling.

Master Ziyang came in from the outside with the ointment that had been ground and blended, "On the patella..."

Seeing that Fang Yan was already standing imposingly in the hall, he swallowed the second half of the sentence, and muttered in a low voice: "I said how can I feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy..."

Gongsun Ling chuckled, he never cared about Ziyang's mysterious words, "The Taoist priest's ointment seems to have a miraculous effect, it has not been applied yet, and it has already begun to heal the wound!"

Fang Yan took a step forward, but his knees still couldn't bear the strength, and he was about to pounce forward when his legs softened.

Shen Xinniang had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and supported him, "Your Highness, why don't you go forward as a messenger. When you talk about what happened in Cai Xiang's house, it will be more intuitive and convincing."

Fang Yan nodded repeatedly when she heard the words, "What Xin'er said is very true."

Fang Yan went to the palace with Gongsun Ling in a carriage, and when he got off the carriage, he was carried to the shoulders, without taking a step.

He didn't lower his shoulders until the outside of the Holy Master's study where General Xie and others were kneeling.

General Xie looked up at him.

Fang Yan nodded to General Xie.

"Your Highness is distinguished, but you have to pay attention to the location, right?" The ministers behind General Xie saw that King Qi had arrived outside the study of the Holy One, and he was still sitting firmly on his shoulders. He had no intention of getting down, so he opened his mouth in dissatisfaction.

General Xie frowned.

Fang Yan let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "It's not that I insist on my identity. In front of the Holy One, we are all the same courtiers. It's just that I was accidentally injured yesterday. I should have recuperated at home. I barely entered the palace with such a damaged body. It’s because I heard that the Holy Majesty is in jail.”

"King Qi, what are you talking about? It's just that we are asking for orders from the Holy Majesty, for the sake of the country and the people of Daliang! Why did the Holy Majesty be imprisoned?" the impatient minister retorted.

General Xie gritted his teeth, this idiot jumped out to refute, doesn't it mean that he admits that they can't afford to kneel for so long, are they persecuting the Holy One?No matter what King Qi says, just ignore him!

"I heard that the sage went to court in the morning, and he didn't even have breakfast, so he was blocked in this study by all the ministers. The sage didn't even have the freedom to eat. Isn't he in jail?" Qi Wang sneered.

"King Qi's words are wrong! We are kneeling here for a long time, but we are just begging to be summoned by the sage, and to listen to our wish to protect our family and the country. Turks will not be eliminated, the country will be unstable, and we are a child of heart The sun and the moon are visible." General Xie cleared his throat and finally spoke.

"It turns out that General Xie has a pure heart, is he different from Cai Xiangye who colluded with the enemy for his own benefit?" King Qi asked suddenly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone kneeling outside was shocked. Cai Xiangye was a veteran of the three dynasties, and he was also a loyal minister. Yesterday they heard that the Shence Army suddenly surrounded the Xiangfu, and they felt that something was strange. I went to inquire, but I didn't expect that the information was so tight that I didn't inquire about anything.

Originally, he thought that he would find out what happened in two days, but he didn't expect that there would be bad news from Cai's family that afternoon.It is said that Cai Xiangye died.

Everyone in the court who heard about it was shocked.Now it is even more unacceptable to suddenly say that Master Cai is a collaborator.

"Cai Xiang is loyal to Geng..."

"It's an important minister of the three dynasties..."

"It's a minister entrusted by the late emperor, so don't make false accusations..."

The voice of refuting Cai Xiang for a while immediately drowned out King Qi and his party.

"Evidence of Caixiang collaborating with the enemy. I have submitted it to the emperor before. Caixiang colluded with the Turkic prince and supported the peace negotiation on the surface. In fact, he contacted the Turkic prince to continuously harass our border and attack the Northwest Army, which worsened the relationship between the two countries. And promised the Turkic prince. , will help him ascend to the position of Khan, and there is a secret letter to prove it, so I can just talk nonsense?" Fang Yan sat on the shoulder chair, looking down at the kneeling ministers.

"So, what good is it for Cai Xiang?" General Xie asked suddenly.

Fang Yan did not look at him, but only looked at the kneeling civil servants and military generals, "Many of you are students of Cai Xiang, right? Cai Xiang supports peace negotiations on the surface, but in private he advocates fighting the Turks to the end , you should know his intentions, that’s why you are kneeling here today, pleading for orders from the Holy One! Am I right? Before I knew that Cai Xiang was collaborating with the enemy, I never understood why there were so many people supporting the war, and their voices were suppressed for a while The voice of discussing the peace. Cai Xiang advocated the negotiation, and there should be many people behind it, but there were not at that time. It was not until I intercepted the secret letters between Cai and the Turkic prince that I realized that he was only superficially supporting the negotiation. They are secretly manipulating the voices in the court! It's really hard to guard against!"

Many of the civil servants who were kneeling turned their eyes away, but General Xie had a look of surprise on his face. He looked back at the people kneeling behind him, thinking that he had persuaded them, but it turned out that Cai Xiang is secretly helping?

"Why did Prime Minister Cai support fighting against the Turks? Do you also know?" King Qi suddenly asked.

Some of those people bowed their heads in silence, while others raised their heads high, "I am a great country, and I am disturbed by barbarian people all the year round. Tartar is our mission and responsibility!"

"Then do you think that with Daliang's current national strength, the Turks can be incorporated into our territory?" King Qi asked with a sneer.

At this time, there were not many people talking, and even General Xie frowned and thought about it, hesitatingly said: "Sacrifice is unavoidable, but you can't stop the war just because you are afraid of failure. This is a matter of honor, disgrace and dignity of a country. It is far more important than life." Food and clothing are more important."

"Sacrificing innocent people broke the prosperity of Daliang Guotai and Minan, the country's economy collapsed, and Daliang's treasury was emptied. This is to drive the Turks far away, and merge the Western Regions where the Turks are galloping into our Daliang border. We Can you really hold it?" Fang Yan asked back.

General Xie frowned and did not speak.

"Why would Cai Xiang support the attack on the Turks and oppose the peace negotiation? I couldn't figure it out at first. Cai Xiang is a civil servant, and he doesn't care about the military salary. Whether he fights this battle or not, he can't seek personal gain from it? And he is old now. Already high, already as high as the prime minister, can the Turkic people promise him a higher status? I can't figure it out, but yesterday, Cai Xiang told me personally, and I understand what he thinks." Fang Yan said.

Immediately, the outside of the study room became quiet.

Even the little emperor in the study came to the window, listening to Fang Yan's voice, frowning slightly.
