One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 284

When Er Niang came to visit, Mr. Ning Xinxiang came forward to deal with it, while Yuan Zhao read a book beside him, echoing a few words from time to time.In this way, the two of them chatted for a long time in Dongping Lane, and left contentedly, which made Yuan Zhao heave a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, some people voiced doubts one after another, thinking that it was inappropriate for a woman to attend the farewell banquet of foreign envoys in place of His Majesty.

Thinking that this is no different from women standing in court, the sarcasm is endless——

"My majestic princess, with golden branches and jade leaves, how can I allow foreign ministers to see her as soon as they see her? What do all the officials of the court think?"

"I probably think that she is a princess with a different surname, and it doesn't hurt to lose her reputation, right?"

"Have I no man in court? What do you think of a princess who is rich in gold and jade to receive the courtiers? Tianxianglou's..." Before he finished speaking, he was tightly covered by the people next to him.

It's fine to ridicule him publicly, and he will either be beheaded or silenced secretly if he speaks rudely.Don't forget, the assassination of an official some time ago was related to offending the one in Dongping Lane.

You don't want to be convicted for your words, let alone die for it.

However, their awakening came too late. When the topic became a hot topic in teahouses, wine shops and other places, they dispersed and disappeared suddenly, as if they had never existed.

The person who bluntly said that the imperial court regarded a certain princess as a Tianxianglou singer had a lot of good fortune, and died in the room of a certain oiran in Tianxianglou Dixianju.

The oiran was so angry that she yelled bad luck, scolding the nursing home for being incompetent, and actually let a poor man die in her room.People from Jingwei rushed over after receiving the news, and after repeated tests by the foreman, they came to the conclusion that it was too late.

This person's family is in the local area, and his parents rushed to collect the body after receiving the letter.After confirming it, his parents stood at the gate of Tianxianglou and said that his son was strong and healthy, and that Tianxianglou must have eaten unclean food for him and died.

Where is Tianxianglou?Allow them to arrange blackmail at will?A beating with a stick will make him go out.

But in the end, someone was killed, and the people nearby talked a lot, wondering what exactly Tianxianglou ate for the guests?And that oiran yelled that the deceased was not her guest, is it true or not?How did the guest die?

The mysterious and fragrant and colorful rumors are even more exciting.The princess or something is nothing more than the fact that she shows up in public.Those who are capable will live there, and those who are incompetent will be removed. No matter which one is, the people are not allowed to be the masters. Why should she do it?

She has a way of fighting, and Da Qi has repeatedly raised troops to make trouble. Wouldn't it be better for her to come forward and teach him a lesson?
Moreover, some scribes participated in the discussion among the people, and believed that she was like the emperor, and she was qualified to take the place of the king as a farewell ceremony for foreign envoys.With her coming forward, it is not rude, but also can show Wu Chu's sincerity, why not?
The words of the Confucian students were like a clear stream, successfully defeating those unsavory rumors.

Although there are some Confucian scholars who are critical of this matter, they are helpless and can't stir up any waves.

Soon, this topic disappeared from the public.

"...Dongping Lane must have done it! Your Highness, report to the officials!" In a certain mansion, a steward reported angrily. Her handle!"

"Report to the official? What do you want to say?" The woman glanced at him lightly, "The person who said that the palace sent out to spread rumors was killed by the suffering master? Or was the suffering master arrested?"

"This..." The manager was stopped by the question, sweating profusely in anxiety, and suddenly rolled his eyes, "Let his family report to the police! Say he is missing!"

"And then? Let the government find out the details of those people, who they had contact with, and then find out about Ben Gong?" At this point, the woman with a look of hatred and forbearance finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sharply angrily said, "Stupid! Trash!"

All of them!
The steward was scolded so that he lay on the ground, his whole body was tense and he dared not move.

After yelling out the words, the woman's mood improved slightly, she suppressed her temper again, and asked slowly:

"Do they know who they're working for?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, they don't know!" The manager hurriedly said, "I sent my brother's in-laws to find some gangsters in different places. They wandered around, robbed houses, and didn't know where to go..."

That's good, the woman is at ease.

"Secretly track down the whereabouts of those people, and once found, everyone who has come into contact with them will be sealed." The Dongping Lane must not let the person find her.

"promise!"

……

Five days later, the officials of Honglu lived up to expectations and reached a consensus with the envoys of Daqi to redeem the unscathed heir of the Bofu with [-] shi of grain.

Wu Chu had a bumper harvest in the past two years, and [-] shi was not much food.

Originally, Da Qi's envoy Lion asked for 20 shi.After a lot of verbal battles, he used comparisons of national strength, psychological tactics, and inadvertently revealed the news that Lord Shaoyang was sharpening his sword and went out to train troops in a snowy day.

Da Qi couldn't tell whether Jun Shaoyang was training ordinary soldiers or new soldiers, anyway, the boss reluctantly let go and was reduced from Honglu officials to [-] shi, and everyone was happy.

After talking about the business, the state banquet began. The handsome and handsome Shaoyang Lord appeared in front of the ministers in a white brocade robe embroidered with gold silk.She talked and laughed at Yan Yan, treated others with humility and courtesy, and responded to the envoys of Great Qi's envoys' words of praise and derogation in secret.

"Mr. Shaoyang is as good as the rumors said, with extraordinary character and extraordinary heroism. He is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men! If he were in Daqi, he would be a general and in charge of the country's most important weapon! How much more than a mere princess is honored?" Daqi envoy Laughing and threatening, his face was full of disdain.

Disdainful of Wu Chufeng's princess honor, with an expression that made her succumb.

On the surface, he praised her ability, but in fact he sowed discord, and by the way coaxed the little girl to see if she could be coaxed over.Even if she couldn't be coaxed, as long as she made a mistake in her words tonight and was tabooed by Emperor Yongchang, it would be a great achievement if the monarch and his subjects were at odds.

"Your Excellency's absurd praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it." Yuan Zhao replied humbly.

"This statement is not nonsense, but my king's sincere emotion." Da Qi envoy saw her attitude of not wanting to say more, thought it was due to a woman's shy instinct, and couldn't help being complacent and reluctant, " Before my servant came, I still heard that my king never forgot the prestige of Lord Shaoyang..."

"Lord Xiao, stop talking nonsense!" A Honglu official sensed something was wrong, and immediately stopped the other party from continuing.

Lord Shaoyang is a woman, and she is obsessed with it by a man, and she is made public, how decent is it?Even if the other party is the king of a country, it would be out of character!Fighting Wu Chuchao's face!
"Master Zhang, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Da Qi's envoy pretended not to know, and said with a dazed expression, "Since your country allows women to lead soldiers, why are you afraid that others will not praise you?"

Everything has been done, so why be afraid of people making irresponsible remarks?

Look, the envoy of Da Qi deliberately begged Shaoyang Jun to attend the banquet, and he really had bad intentions.When the officials of Honglu Temple saw this, their faces were full of anger, and when they were about to accuse the other party of being rude, Yuan Zhao quickly waved his hand to stop him:

"Hey, everyone, calm down. It's rare for the two countries to have a chance to sit together without a war. Why bother to argue and vomit to spoil the fun?"

Not a child anymore, can impulsiveness solve problems?

"Master Zhang, you are narrow-minded." After the two sides calmed down, Yuan Zhao, as the host, asked his own people to take responsibility, "Which king dares to know people like this except our big country has such a stomach?" vision and the courage of a human being?"

Her words barely saved Wu Chu's face.Even so, the faces of Honglu officials were still filled with indignation.

On the contrary, Da Qi's envoy smiled mockingly, as if saying, just break it!No matter how she defends herself, he ridiculed Wu Chu for allowing a woman to be in charge of the army. When the news spreads, his and Qi's reputation will definitely increase.

But she and Wu Chu's monarchs and ministers will become the laughing stock of scholars all over the world.

Yuan Zhao raised his eyebrows, squinted at the envoy, and said seriously:
"As the saying goes, summer worms can't talk about ice, ordinary people can't talk about it, especially in a country like Qi... where women lose to men even in the back house, how do you explain to them the truth that capable soldiers command soldiers regardless of gender? It doesn't make sense!"

The audience was silent, and then burst into laughter.
