late night song

Chapter 216
"I don't agree!"

The rough voice broke the loyal silence in front of the Paradise Hall, and everyone followed the voice to see who had the courage and courage to openly challenge the established trend.

The white curtain covered his face. No one knew who it was, but Gu Yuchu didn't even raise her head. She already knew it by her unique hoarse and deep voice.

"why?"

"Because you don't deserve it! Because Lejia Pengkang is still alive!" The man stepped closer and retorted eloquently.

"Why am I not worthy? Is it because of my impure blood? Or is it my grandfather's sin?" Gu Yuchu asked, it's better to tell everything clearly today, so as not to leave any traces and rumors will spread.

"When the late lord Jin conferred the title of eleventh princess, he didn't hide anything in the edict. Everyone in the world knows it." Some people didn't have time to show their faces in front of the new lord.

"I don't know about the dusty past of my maternal grandfather Le Jiajunhui, and I don't even bother to explain it. But if someone has a grudge because of this, I can't do anything about it." Gu Yuchu waved his hands, not caring.

"If we really delve into the past generations, not everyone here will have a bright face. Moreover, today's public election will only focus on merit and character, regardless of anything else." Fan Yueqing followed the line and said unanimously.

"What a man who only talks about merit and character, nothing else! Have you forgotten who opened up the air, reduced taxes, reformed the imperial examinations, promoted equal emphasis on agriculture and commerce, and equality between men and women?! Who eliminated all the hijackings of other countries and took power in his own country? In your hands?! Who was the one who came to the dams with the floods and lived and died with the people? And who weighed the advantages and disadvantages of the two countries, took back five counties, expanded the army one after another, and strengthened the troops to protect the country?"

The white turban enumerated various new policies and actions after Lejiapongkang ascended the throne, leaving the people and officials present speechless.It has to be said that at that time, the small country owner had the people of the world in mind, and the state government he implemented was indeed beneficial to the country and the people, which rejuvenated the market of Hehe Chaotang with vitality and vitality.

"So what if he has glorious achievements? This is not enough to cover up the fact that he killed loyal people, colluded with foreign traitors, and betrayed the country. Because of his own selfishness, he violated the laws of nature, trampled on the century-old peace in the East, and put the people in dire straits. , Such a person is not worthy of being a king!"

Mrs. Hu, the widow of Grand Sima Ouyang Qunfang, thought of her husband who died tragically. She stood up excitedly and angrily denounced Lejia Pengkang's misdeeds and sins.

"That's right, the army came to the city and surrendered without a fight. The monarch abandoned the city and fled. In the end, it was the Eleventh Princess who worked with the city garrison to evacuate the people and resisted desperately, and was able to save Qiongzhou City."

Everyone came back to their senses from the prosperous past of Hehe, and remembered that the broken mountains and rivers, and the people's livelihood were all due to this wise and mighty little king.

"If Beiling's army hadn't arrived in time, Qiongzhou City would have been lost long ago. Aren't you curious why Beiling's army arrived so timely?"

The white curtain hat continued to question, which made everyone speechless again.

This matter is indeed too coincidental when you think about it carefully. Previously, a sea arrest notice was posted throughout the city of Lejia Pengkang, saying that the eleventh princess was Beiling. Later, when Qiongzhou was in danger and the whole country surrendered, Beiling intervened at the right time, and this eleventh princess The princess has been pushed to the forefront again and again, and her reputation has become more and more prominent. This is indeed too suspicious.

"I would like to ask this senior, do you have to watch the fall of Qiongzhou, the loss of Hehe, and the displacement of the people before you can be called loyal and patriotic and worthy of the world? If this is the case, I am afraid that today, the senior will not have the opportunity to Question me in public!"

Gu Yuchu looked at everyone's reactions and showed no signs of weakness at all.

"Back then, Lejia Pengkang used the princess's marriage as a cover to open up the western border of Hehe and let the Xirong army secretly enter the eastern border. Then he tried to hand over the prince of Beiling to the hands of Kuosang in order to intensify the conflict between the two countries and benefit the fisherman. If it fails, it will only lead to anger. It is not easy for Beiling to ignore the past grudges, let alone the timing."

"Even so, you haven't explained clearly what your relationship is with Beiling?!"

"When Qiongzhou was in danger, it was I who asked for help from Beiling and the army."

Gu Yuchu's words caused an uproar, and everyone started discussing in secret.

"Not long after Lejia Pengkang ascended the throne, he planned to have the troops stationed in Beiling withdraw from the country. He made an agreement with Beiling and Dongqi that no one would enter the country without invitation. How could you invite Beiling troops and horses? You still said it was not the case. He had colluded with Beiling a long time ago and deliberately waited until Qiongzhou was about to fall before he showed up so that Hehe could completely fall under Beiling's control!"

"Of course, the credential must be stamped with the seal of the king before it can be counted. But may I ask, senior, where was Lejia Pengkang at that time, and where were the other clan members? I just bet on Lejia's surname. Well, in the end, Lejia Pengkang didn’t personally submit the surrender form, let alone pursue the matter, so why am I guilty?”

"Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, extremely shameless!" The white silk hat shook, obviously furious.

"It was a last resort to ask for help from Beiling that day. Xirong had 30 troops and horses, but the garrison army was only [-]. If we fight hard, we can't survive for three days. In order to protect the people and defend the country, we are the ones who asked the princess to come forward and wrote to Beiling. Ling Fa Bing!"

The bickering between the two had reached a fever pitch, but at the critical moment, it was difficult for Fan Yueqing to come forward and share the responsibility with her, which really touched Gu Yuchu's heart.

"Then, how do you explain that King Beiling had no say in He He's surrender, but he only named you General Yuesheng?" Bai Hao didn't want to dwell on the old things, so she brought up new ones, making everyone even more suspicious of her identity. and ulterior motives.

"The Lejia royal family can make me the eleventh princess regardless of my wishes. Can't King Beiling make me General Yuesheng? Just now I also said that my real name is Yuchi Yuchu, and I have not concealed anything. , today they chose me as a person, not a name, right?"

Gu Yuchu's eyes swept across everyone, and he was very domineering. She knew in her heart that if she did not have these statuses, these people would not be so loyal and flattering. But the more they were like this, the less they would admit it, otherwise she would not be so kind. He had the nerve to say such nonsense.

"Shameless! If you don't have such a title, how can they obey you and serve you as their master?" The white hat scolded again.

"Ha, senior, are you admitting that my taking over Hehe is justified?" Gu Yuchu smiled proudly. She never knew that she could be so eloquent under heavy pressure.

"you"

"Why not, let me ask, after all the questioning from the seniors, is the referendum on Chen Biao that everyone just voted for still counted? If they go back on their word, I want nothing more. This is the mess left by Lejia Pengkang, and he deserves it Being responsible has nothing to do with me!"

After saying that, she shrugged, raised her left and right hands to invite the adults, but they hesitated for a while. In the end, Fan Yueqing was the first to surrender, and the others followed.

"May the general protect He and the people!"

The shouts echoed in front of the Paradise Hall, so solemn and solemn.

Seeing that the country had changed hands and there was no way around it, the man in the white turban stopped talking and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the guards.

"I wonder if you, senior, can talk to Zhilan Palace." Gu Yuchu asked to stay.

So, under the attention of everyone, the two of them entered the east gate of the Paradise Palace Square.Before leaving, she gave Fan Yueqing a look, and he immediately understood and dealt with the rest of the situation.

Zhilan Hall has not been cleaned for a long time. It was left abandoned when the Xirong invaded, and many valuable furnishings were looted. But even so, it is possible to see how luxurious it was back then.

"Master Xuanlai."

Gu Yuchu bowed respectfully and saluted. She hated her in her heart, because without her cruelty and desperate measures, Lanye would not have been involved in this political whirlpool, taken advantage of, and eventually died. But Xuanlai was Lanye's after all. Mother, if she is negligent and disrespectful, she may hurt Lan Ye's heart, which has returned to dust but is suspended in dust.

The white draped hat sighed deeply and opened the white gauze in front of him. Gu Yuchu couldn't help but sigh that Xuan Lai, who was originally well-maintained, had aged like this over the years. The wastage of people's hearts is far more cruel than time.

"You are very powerful, are you satisfied now?"

"I didn't want to get involved in this situation. If Lejia Pengkang hadn't threatened Lan Ye's life with me, I wouldn't have come to Yuquan Palace, let alone become the eleventh princess."

"Kangkang is very good to Ye'er, and Ye Zi is his sister!" Xuan Lai looked around the once gorgeous palace absentmindedly, as if he was still immersed in the past.

"When did he treat Ye Zi as his sister? Until now, Master Xuanlai still refuses to recognize the reality! She is dead! Died due to Lejia Pengkang's various uses and conspiracies, died under your own hands It was made under the sword of Chi Lian Fu Tu!"

Gu Yuchu's eyes were red, her anger and guilt were mixed, and she was unbearable. It was because she was unable to protect her best friend.

"Are you not wrong?"

Xuan Lai roared out, his eyes bloodshot and ferocious, and his pale skin lost its luster. "Why did you collude with Bei Ling and let that libertine from Ling Ziyu ask for her hand in marriage? Why is it so useless? You have been poisoned by poison, and you want Ye'er to help you drain the poison? Why are you imprisoned in a stone room and not being treated well? Are you going to rush out with Ye'er?"

"The marriage with Beiling was just a scene. Every time she was around Lejia Pengkang, she was in danger. On the wedding day, I stayed outside the door all night, and nothing happened!"

Speaking of this, Gu Yuchu burst into tears. She regretted her mistake. If she had not gone around and tied her up and hid her directly, the result might have been completely different. In the end, she was really wrong. Coke Jiapeng Is Kang innocent?
"But Master Xuanlai, can Lejia Pengkang be forgiven? He used Ye Zi to force her to be at the forefront of the storm. If he had the slightest sibling relationship, he would not ambush Chi Lian Futu on his way back to Beiling to receive his relatives. Kill her!"

"You're talking nonsense, Kangkang wouldn't be that cruel!"

"Master Xuanlai! Lejia Pengkang is such a cruel and crazy person! He could have kidnapped me for the sake of the general trend, but why did he have to go to jail with Ye Zi? Even if he was imprisoned together, why did he deny Ye Zi's life experience and treat her so badly? Saying such cruel words made her heartbroken and miserable! All of this was just because of Ding Yi's instigation!"

"Ding Yi? What did he say?" Xuan Lai was shocked.

"He said Ye Zi was his child."

"Despicable and shameless! That eunuch also has a child?!" Xuan Lai roared out, struggling to suppress his emotions.

Gu Yuchu remained silent.

What happened to the eunuch?She remembered the conversation she had with Ding before. He said that Le Jia Huanyu betrayed him. It was really suspicious to think about it. Now Xuan Lai said this again. Maybe there was another story, but she didn't want to go into it. After all, these were all important to Lan Ye's death. Nothing can be done.

Xuan Lai sighed deeply, and the anger in her eyes turned into gloom. She glanced at Gu Yuchu and changed the subject: "Why did you come to me today? To show off your fame to the world, does a bird occupy a phoenix nest?"

"What do I have to show off? If I could, I would rather kill Lejia Pengkang with one knife. But Ye Zi asked me to let him live before she died. I really don't want her soul to be uneasy."

"Idiot, you should kill him with one knife!" Xuan Lai was silent for a while, and his attitude changed 180 degrees, which made Gu Yuchu almost bite his tongue in surprise.

"What?"

"I told you to kill him. If you can't do it, take me to him and I'll do it myself!"

"Master Xuanlai."

Gu Yuchu really didn't know what to say, and regretted all the accusations she had made before. The pain of losing her daughter might have planted the seeds of hatred in her heart. She suddenly realized that the confrontation in the square was not good for her. , but such a blatant challenge eliminated Lejia Pengkang's escape route. Could Master Xuanlai be silently helping her? !

"You must kill him!" Xuan Lai's commanding tone left no room for doubt.

But just as Gu Yuchu was about to react, an uninvited guest broke in. She instinctively blocked Xuan Lai, but the sudden appearance of this person made her even more shocked and unbelievable.

"Master Xiu Ran."

She widened her eyes and greeted, this is her teacher Meng Xiuran from Xunmen, but since she entered Sanxing Academy, she has never stepped out of Qiyun Mountain. Why she happened to be here today really puzzled her.

"What are you doing here?" Xuan Lai asked.

"Exactly the opposite of you." Meng Xiuran replied.

"You want to save him?"

"It's not about saving him. I'm just entrusted by someone to save his life."

"Entrusted by others? Le Jia returns?" Xuan Lai looked at her in disbelief, "You are actually willing to forgive him."

Xiu Ran's eyebrows seemed to be twitching, and she gently rubbed the Bodhi beads in her hand. A few jade beads among them shone brightly. She replied lightly: "It's just an old thing. I already hurt Ding Yihe back then." Concubine Su, that grudge has been wiped out."

"Then why do you still come forward?"

"Although Lejia Pengkang is heinous, he is young after all. I can take him back to Qiyun Mountain and imprison him, which is a great trust from him. Although Ding Yi is disgusting, Lejia Pengkang's mother Su The concubine is indeed innocent, retaliation for retaliation is fair."

"I don't agree! He killed my daughter, and I want him to pay with his life."

Xuan Lai immediately objected, and his originally rough voice was even more frightening and intimidating.The two masters were confronting each other, so Gu Yuchu naturally had no part in interjecting. She had to stand aside silently, listening to this meaningless story.

"For the sake of Le Jia Huanyu, you tried your best to help his son, even pushing your own daughter into the abyss. Then you ignored your master and secretly made the Red Lian Pagoda, endangering all living beings. With such deep love and affection, why did you suddenly turn against him? "Meng Xiuran retorted.

"Lanye is not your daughter, of course you said so?" Xuan Lai threw down his sleeves angrily and turned away, his eyes already moist.

"I know that you are looking for ice-planted lotus hearts everywhere to use as medicine. I have some ready-made ones here. In exchange, can you agree?"

"You are not the only one in the world who has a five-color lotus heart. Why should I agree to it?"

"The five-color lotus heart grows in extremely cold places, and it takes five years for it to bloom and bear seeds. Although the flowering period will be at the winter solstice next year, are you sure you can wait that long?" Meng Xiuran was still indifferent, but he looked determined to win.

Xuan Lai thought for a long time, glanced at Gu Yuchu again, and then slowly calmed down.

"Okay, but I will definitely destroy his meridians. You must ensure that he never takes another step out of the world. You are not allowed to teach him any internal skills. He will only be raised as a useless person. If he has evil thoughts again, you will never tolerate him!"

"Okay!" Meng Xiuran agreed, took out a bag of tips from his arms and handed it to Xuan Lai, then turned to Gu Yuchu and said, "After the overall situation is decided, I will come to you again, and you will hand over Lejia Pengkang to me. feasible?"

"Since the two masters have decided, the students should obey their orders." Gu Yuchu respectfully packed his luggage and watched them leave the palace.

It is strange to say that Gu Yuchu didn't know that Xuan Lai and Meng Xiuran were deeply involved. According to their conversation, she unconsciously imagined a heart-stirring love entanglement.

Lejia Huanyu must be a master of love, and it is very possible that both men and women can take advantage of him. He uses his power and romantic style to fascinate Meng Xiuran and Xuan Lai. At the same time, he does not know how to restrain himself and gets entangled with Ding Yi. It's unclear, otherwise Xuan Lai wouldn't have gone deep into Beiling for him, and Ding Yi would have lurked in Dongqi for him.

After Ding Yijiu returned to Hehe, he learned about Lan Ye's birth and held a grudge, thinking that Le Jia Huanyu had betrayed him.In order to deceive others and give Lan Ye a status, Ke Lejia Huanyu assigned Xuan Lai to Ding Yi so that he could have a tryst with the two of them.Ding Yixin was resentful, but because of Huang Ning, he still entrusted Lan Ye to his sister to raise him, but ignored him. Hou Xuanlai couldn't bear it, and secretly took Lan Ye away from Beiling and returned to Sanxing Academy.

As for what Meng Xiuran did, it was unknown, but it can be roughly speculated that she discovered Lejia Pengkang's special habits and deceptions, which she could never tolerate with her strong temperament, so she castrated Ding Yi and accidentally injured Concubine Su. , causing her beauty to fade away after giving birth to Lejia Pengkang.

Le Jia Huanyu broke up with her and tore up the token of love between them, but Meng Xiuran still didn't let go, so she left a few remaining beads on her bracelet and carried them with her at all times as a tribute to the past.

Later, after Lejia Huanyu entrusted her son to Xuanlai, she was worried that his life would be in danger because of his impulsiveness, so he went to Meng Xiuran again and begged her to protect Lejia Pengkang's life in times of danger. Meng Xiuran had been injured many years ago. The innocent man agreed, feeling guilty.

So everything seems to make sense.

But this is all Gu Yuchu's guess. No one except them, the parties involved, knows what happened in the past.

Gu Yuchu couldn't help but admire his imagination. It would be a pity not to write a storybook.

If everything was as she thought, it would be an injustice and a shame.
