Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 363
There was a knock on the door, and Shen Yu frowned. He led Su Tiange to swim in the lake and then stopped here. How could anyone find this place?He got up carefully and looked at Su Tiange who was still asleep, got off the bed lightly, put on his clothes and went to open the door.

It was Linshan who came, "My lord, Fei Ge sent a letter to say that Prince Yan and Duke Guo had a quarrel in the Royal Study Room in front of the Holy Majesty."

"Because of what!"

"I don't know the details, but the Holy One intends to call you to the Imperial Study, and the order has already been passed to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Understood, you go to prepare the carriage, we'll go back now." Turning back to the bed, Su Tiange was already awake, rubbed his eyes and asked him, "Are you going back?"

"Well, there is something in the palace, the Holy Majesty asked me to enter the palace." He said and fetched the clothes next to him, "I will send you back to the palace in a while, and then enter the palace."

"I can do it by myself." She looked up at him, "I was just unhappy for a while, and I'm fine now."

"Then I don't worry about you going back alone." After saying that, he put on her jacket and outer shirt, "It's better to use less cloth for wrapping the chest, it's too tight and not pretty."

"Yes, my lord said so."

"I know you have an idea in your heart, but think of me first when you do anything in the future. If you are not well, what should I do?" After fastening the knot around his waist, he hugged her and said softly.

She didn't know what to say for a while, she valued him more than her own life, so there were some things she didn't want him to know.

It was already half an hour later when Shen Yu rushed to the imperial study, Prince Yan and Duke Qing had already left, only Xiao Xuan was still sitting behind the table reading the memorial.

Xiao Xuan raised his eyes and looked at him, feeling unhappy so his face was not very happy, "Come?"

"Yes."

"If you came early and saw the verbal battle, you could also help me analyze what those two people want to do. It's good for you, you waited for half an hour to arrive after passing on the imperial decree."

"It's the minister's dereliction of duty." Shen Yu didn't intend to tell Xiao Xuan what he was doing, and the happiness of husband and wife cannot be explained to outsiders.

"Hmph." Xiao Xuan snorted coldly, he naturally knew what the annoying guy in front of him was doing.The office in the yamen is doing well, and he said he would take a trip to the lake with people, and he delayed the business.But what could he say? The guard who came back to report said that she had a sad face and was about to cry.

He originally thought that even if the sky fell, she would not make her frown, but it turned out that he was not the one in her heart who could show softness and fragility.

The more he thought about it, the more he disliked Shen Yu, "Prince Yan said that Duke Qing had colluded with outsiders and attempted to embezzle the treasure that originally belonged to the country, and he also produced a lot of evidence. Duke Qing killed that The evidence is forged illegally, I want you to come and see if it is real or not." He waved his hand, and the servant handed Shen Yu several letters.

Shen Yu glanced twice, "Return to Your Majesty, half-truth and half-false." Xiao Xuan nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"The content of the letter is true, but it was not written by Duke Qing. He told Chen the first time the letter was lost. He got these letters from someone else."

"Really?" Xiao Xuan stared at Shen Yu, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

"I only say what I saw."

"Leave this aside, I still have something to ask for your opinion. There is a small border country in the southern border called Dalang. It used to be an ally of Dali, and the two countries have always been friendly. A few days ago, the Zhizhou stationed in the southern border came to There are many spies from Dalang trying to sneak into Dali to steal information.”

"After being arrested, he was released after the first trial because of the friendship between the two countries. Unexpectedly, a month ago, during the rainy season in the southern border, a river flowing through the two countries was congested. The flood caused half of the southern border to be flooded and the people were displaced. Later The Zhizhou in the southern border carefully studied the water volume records of the river, and found that there was more rainfall in previous years but there was no such great damage. Later, after several investigations, it was found that Dalang secretly changed the river's course."

"After the river enters Dalang, it becomes mountains directly. If the water cannot pass through, it will naturally come back and rush into the southern border. Dalang actually imitated Yugong Yishan and moved a mountain to cause trouble for Dali."

"Is there a drawing of the river?"

Xiao Xuan picked up a roll of blueprints from the table and asked the servant to pass it to Shen Yu, "And Da Lang's behavior of breaking the covenant has seriously interfered with the survival of the people in the southern border. I decided to teach them a lesson."

Shen Yu looked through the blueprints carefully, and found that just where the river flows through Dali, there is a large open space and hills at a bend. If he remembers correctly, it is the settlement of the hermits.

From this point of view, the first emperor joined Dalang to destroy the hermit clan, and then reached a covenant of never declaring war.Now that the first emperor died, Da Lang became restless.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the past when the late emperor united with Dalang to destroy the Hermit Clan?"

Xiao Xuan looked at Shen Yu, "What do you mean?"

Shen Yu cupped his hands and said, "That's what His Majesty thinks." The two of them knew each other but neither of them dared to raise it explicitly, and neither of them could guarantee that taking this move would really bring about a good result.

"You step back first, let me think about it."

"Resignation." Shen Yu bowed back and left the imperial study room, walked outside and took a long breath, Lian Qiuming, I hope you still have a man's blood in your heart.

Half a month later, Lian Qiuming stood on the mountain where he saw the recluse tribe go home after being imprisoned and separated for the first time, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.Looking at the clansmen below who have suffered several times, with a smile on their face finally reuniting with their families, sadness and joy flooded into his heart at the same time.

If they knew that this reunion would cost their lives, would they still be able to laugh?

Two days later, he stood in front of Xiao Xuan.

"I know that doing this is taking advantage of the fire. I have asked you what you mean, and you have promised me. Now I want to ask you another question, do you still remember the hatred from the past?"

"Remember, always remember." Lian Qiuming stood up straight and looked at Xiao Xuan, "We have been waiting for an apology, a rectification of name, can the emperor give it?"

"The southern border is originally my aunt's fiefdom. I believe you will not let the people living there and the clansman fall into trouble. As long as you can help me solve the disaster in the southern border and the disaster in Dalang, I will rectify your names."

Xiao Xuan stood up and looked directly at Lian Qiuming, "Since I choose to use you, I will give you unlimited trust, and you must also trust me. I want to be a good emperor and seek peace for the people of Dali. They are also The people of Dali."

Lian Qiuming accepted the order and left the palace.Even if he was asked to exchange his life for him, he would fight to the end, just like his mother back then, he still believed in Xiao Xuan with hope, just like his father back then.
