The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 159: Which one is closer, the niece or the goddaughter?

The eldest and second bedrooms of the Xiao family broke up in unhappiness. Mrs. Xiao repeatedly told her son to remember his identity and not to do anything out of the ordinary that would make people laugh.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is a good day for visiting relatives and friends.

However, there was a life-and-death fight in the court in Chang'an City. It was about the invasion of Liao people, the people of Beishui Village fighting back, and the construction of a Beijing temple by the Beishui River. Many scholar-bureaucrats despised it.

"Your Majesty! Our Dafeng Dynasty has always been a country of etiquette. Such a shocking act is more cruel than those Liao people. Such behavior is really harmful to the dignity of our Dafeng Dynasty!" The speaker was Mr. Han, the former magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture.

After the fall of Qingzhou, this man relied on his in-law relationship to join King Wei's sect, and quickly became a third-rank official.

"What Mr. Han said is true. Our dynasty has always convinced people with virtue and helped the world with virtue. If these unscrupulous people dare to build the capital of the Liao people today, they may not dare to kill Chang'an in the future. It is also unknown to raise the flag to rebel!" "The person who agreed was Mr. Taichang Yuan.

Bai Changhe snorted: "As the two adults said, when the Liao people come, we villagers in Dafeng Dynasty cannot beat or scold us. Do we have to entertain them with good wine and meat? Maybe the Liao people have enough food and drink, and gold and silver If you are full, you won’t touch the people of Dafeng Dynasty?”

Master Yuan pointed his finger at Bai Changhe: "You are using strong words! Don't think I don't know. You, Bai Changhe, have a habit of killing prisoners. On the day you defeated the Liaoxi Army, you even killed as many as [-] prisoners. It's simply It's such a disgrace to the fate of human beings that God cannot tolerate. Your Majesty is too magnanimous not to rebuke me, but you just scratch your nose and face and feel that you are more powerful than ever!"

Song Datong, the wandering general who had always been good friends with Bai Changhe, said impatiently: "Old Yuan, what are you talking about? If you don't kill the [-] prisoners, your family will feed them? If you are so generous, you should be treated as a gangster I made a promise, as long as you are willing to provide food, we will not kill prisoners in the future."

Damn it!It’s already the beginning of this year, and the military pay at this time last year has not been paid, so the soldiers have started robbing homes and homes, and they are no different from bandits.

Mr. Han said angrily: "General Song is lax in running the army, but he wants to talk about prisoners? Who doesn't know about military pay? It's just that there have been natural and man-made disasters in the past two years, and there is no money in the court. Everyone knows this. Now in Talking about Beishui Village, why would the general insist on talking about military pay?"

Song Datong's eyes squinted: "I'm talking about what happened in Beishui Village. Those of you who keep your mouth shut about etiquette. The Liao people didn't kill you. Of course, you can stand and talk without pain in your back."

As the fourth prince, King Wei saw the commotion in the hall and had to come out to smooth things over: "The two generals have misunderstood. The two adults are not targeting the villagers of Beishui Village. It is just that the matter is serious. If the trouble is not allowed, these villagers will take advantage of it. It will be incited and used by people with ulterior motives to do righteous and unethical things!"

Mr. Yuan hurriedly bowed to King Wei: "What your Highness said is true. This is exactly what I am worried about. If they dare to kill Liao today, there is no guarantee that they will kill the imperial court if they don't get what they want. Such unruly people must be severely punished." , as a warning to others!"

"Your Majesty, what do you think of what the minister said?"

After Master Yuan finished speaking, he bowed to the emperor and asked, but there was no movement above. Everyone looked at each other, and there seemed to be snoring faintly coming from the high dragon chair.

"Gu Ye feels that what Mr. Yuan said is true. Failure to deal with such unruly people is not enough to win over the people!" Someone outside the hall said loudly, his voice was cold and powerful, which shocked everyone in the hall. This person had not appeared in the court for a long time. Why did the person come suddenly today?

The old emperor above was also awakened by the sound. He looked at everyone in the hall with sleepy eyes. It was true that the beauty of the Jie tribe was so tormented last night. She almost lost this old man from exhaustion with all kinds of difficult movements. bone.The old emperor wiped away the saliva from the corner of his mouth without leaving any trace, and smiled at the visitor: "Old Jiu, are you actually free to go to court today?"

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but twitching at the corners of their eyes. They actually had to spare time to go to court. This was probably the ninth oldest King in the world, Changling King.

Tantai Lin ignored the old emperor and said to Master Yuan and Master Han: "How do you think we should deal with the Liao invasion?"

Seeing His Royal Highness Prince Changling seconding what he said earlier, Mr. Yuan suddenly felt confident in his heart: "Your Highness, our Dafeng Dynasty threatens the world, so we must convince people with virtue. If we are as cruel as those unruly people, wouldn't we be as cruel as those barbarians?" Are foreigners generally uneducated?"

Bai Changhe sneered: "They should kill us, but if we fight back we will be called brutal and barbaric. Lord Yuan, you really know how to tell jokes!"

Mr. Han suddenly raised his hand to King Wei: "Your Highness, it is said that the girl at the head of Beishui Village is the niece that General Bai just recognized. Wei Chen thinks that this girl was deliberately indulged by General Bai. Otherwise, where would a group of refugees come from? Do you have the guts to go against the Liao people?"

Mr. Yuan also joined in: "I heard that General Bai hurried over yesterday, and he must have gone to deal with the aftermath. Bai Changhe secretly launched a war on the border. I think he should be dealt with according to military law!"

"It's true that the girl is my niece. If based on this, I was the instigator, then I can also say that when the Jie people attacked Tongguan, it was you, Master Han who instigated it!"

Mr. Han immediately became furious: "Bai Changhe, don't you talk about people's innocence with your empty teeth? What does Tongguan matter have to do with me!"

Bai Changhe said leisurely: "Because you offered that beauty to the Jie tribe. It is said that the Jie tribe came here as captives, and you followed suit. Could it be that you also came here as captives?"

Song Datong chuckled and said: "That's right. Brother Bai has recognized his niece, so this matter cannot be ignored. Mr. Han, don't complain. You must know that the beauty of the Jie tribe has recognized you as my godfather. Then They can’t be any closer than our old brother Bai.”

"Emma, ​​no wonder people say that the beauty is beautiful and fragrant. It turns out that she was eaten by cannibals. Although we were rolled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, do you think the meat tastes like? We don't know, or else Mr. Han, can you tell us?"

"Vomit!" Before Mr. Han could reply, the old emperor above him vomited, "Oh my God!"That little mouth had a lot of close contact with him last night. The old emperor felt extremely disgusted when he thought about it: "I will chop off the beautiful lady!"

Mr. Han hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this guy is talking nonsense. I have always been very careful. How could I let such a terrible thing happen?"

Bai Changhe rolled his eyes: "You old boy, stop pretending. Everyone knows that the Jie tribe treats us Han people as two-legged sheep. We have to make dried meat when we can't finish eating. You are hanging out with them and you actually said you didn't participate. Who believes it?"

Master Yuan saw that Master Han was at a disadvantage, and the old emperor had a look of disgust on his face. He thought that the beauty was also dead, so he hurriedly said to Prince Changling: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether this is true or not, Beishui Village The killing of Liao crossing the border is real, and if it is not dealt with, it will definitely lead to a huge disaster."
