Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

"What?" Du Qingheng got up angrily and paced back and forth in the house when he learned that Consort De was responsible for the thorough investigation.

Also, she should have thought long ago that the emperor refused to see her because she must have chosen someone in her heart, and now it is Concubine De who dared to fight her.

She squinted her eyes, and it seemed that it was time to promote a few newcomers for her own use.

This concubine De Fei has a good ability, and she usually looks at her silently, but she won the favor of the emperor for no reason.

"Niangniang, the prime minister is here to deliver the news." The little **** in the Yanxi Palace hurried into the house and handed a small note to Du Qingheng, writing: The Northwest was defeated, you can make a fuss.

Now the queen is trapped in the quagmire of using the witchcraft technique in the palace. If this matter is connected with the war in the northwest...

I don't know how much preparation his father has made. What Du Qingheng can do now is to quietly wait for his father's next plan.

Kyoto, Xiangfu.

Tonight's Xiangfu seemed to turn off the lights earlier than usual, and when the city was still brightly lit, Xiangfu was already silent.

A small oil lamp was lit in the study, the wick was immersed in lamp oil, and the candlelight was faint.

Du Heng sat quietly in the study, closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and suddenly heard the sound of the building, Du Heng opened his eyes.

This pair of eyes has been exposed to wind and frost for a long time, and their eyes are a bit muddy, but in the dim swaying candlelight, they appear shrewd.

"You are here." Du Heng said softly, and he turned over from the window and entered a man in night clothes.

He closed the window and pulled down the mask on his face. It turned out to be Wu Ni, the Qintian Supervisor of Dashun.

"We met late at night, I don't know what the prime minister is doing." Wu Yan walked to the table and sat down cross-legged.

It seems to outsiders that he has nothing to do with the prime minister, but what few people know is that he had studied under Du Heng when he was young and had received a lot of help from Du Heng. Now Du Heng has handed over the news and asked his son to come. , He naturally couldn't help coming.

"Qin Tianjian is independent of the six divisions, and only obeys the emperor's orders. If you are a little careless, you will have a different place. Would you like to work with me?" Du Heng stroked his beard. He is an old fox, and Wu Yan is still young, and he is not as thorough in many things as his teacher.

But seeing Wu Ni frowned, he thought for a moment and said: "If it weren't for the teacher to lend a helping hand, Wu Ni would have starved to death on the street. This life teacher wanted to take it back at any time. Wu Ni would never complain."

In this way, Du Heng was relieved. He smiled and nodded, very pleased, and then said: "The Northwest war is chaotic, and now the frontline is defeated. There is always a reason."

"What is the reason for the teacher's hope?" Qin Tian Supervisor Wu Ni has always been unsmiling, and not good at playing power. This is why Feng Xuanche chose him to sit in this position at the time, but he did not expect that he and Du Heng would have such a connection.

"The queen of the dynasty was unscrupulous and incompetent. She was just an unruly wild girl from the countryside. She first failed to order Longzi's death, and then was in vain as an example of the sixth house, practicing witchcraft. Now the Northwest has been defeated, if not because What can this demon be causing chaos in the palace?"

Who would have thought that these words would come out of his own father's mouth, that the poison of a tiger does not eat its children, and Du Heng actually wanted to push his daughter into a place where he could not recover.

"Teacher really wants to do this?" Wu Ni still had that expression, not too shocked, just a little puzzled about it.

Du Heng never answered, but his expression explained everything.

He also thought about supporting his eldest daughter. When Du Xuechun’s mother was there, the two were also in love. Unfortunately, this daughter was too unworthy. As a queen, he never wanted to bring glory to the Du family. Du Heng couldn't bear to fight himself.

Although the second child is not as smart as Du Xuechun, he is obedient, and he can still control it. Since this is the case, why not support the second child.

Seeing that he was silent, Wu Ni understood what he meant. He pulled the mask, opened the window, and turned around before leaving and whispered: "Tomorrow, I will speak to the emperor. Teacher wait for news."

After a while, Wu Ni's figure disappeared into the darkness.

Du Heng turned on the wick, and the dim study was lit up. He got up and poured a cup of herbal tea. He coughed twice, but laughed softly. After all, he was too old to drink cold water, but tomorrow. , Everything will be different again.

In the morning of the next day, Qin Tian Supervisor Wu Ni suddenly came with an anxious look on his face.

Seeing him coming, Du Heng's mouth twitched. It seemed that he was a smart student. If this matter was told to Feng Xuanche in the Imperial Study Room, based on his feelings for Du Xuechun, this matter would definitely be suppressed.

But in the early dynasty, it was said that there were hundreds of officials present to exert pressure, and Feng Xuanche had to bow his head for some things.

"Qin Tian Supervisor Wu Ni, there are important things to tell." Wu Ni is only 30 years old and still unmarried. It is rumored that he has an excellent appearance and is a gentleman.

Although it was a rumor, Wu Ni was indeed very handsome, and he was neither humble nor overbearing, and no one would think his words were nonsense.

"What's the matter, wait until I leave the early court." Feng Xuanche's instinct was wrong. Qin Tianjian never went to the early court, and he had to tell him everything privately. After all, the astrological theory was originally intended to stabilize his imperial power. Some things should be said. Shouldn't say, you have to make the final decision.

"The emperor, this matter is about the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers at the Dashun Border Pass. It must not be delayed." Wu Ni never retreated, standing stubbornly in the center of the Golden Luang Palace.

There were already courtiers talking on the sidelines, Du Heng stood up at the right time and bowed and said: "The emperor, Qin Tianjian has always been righteous and straightforward, so urgent, for the soldiers in the northwest, let him speak quickly."

Hearing this, Feng Xuan took a deep look at Du Heng. It seemed that he was becoming more dishonest. As the leader of a hundred officials, didn't these words pressure him?

"Say." Feng Xuanche said with a cold expression.

"I was observing the stars last night and discovered that there was a demon star surrounding the crape myrtle star, so that the crape myrtle star was weak and slightly falling. This is an ominous omen. The emperor should remove the demon star to prevent it from messing the court!" Wu Yan stood stubbornly. The imperial court said this, only to hear that all the court officials inhaled air-conditioning.

The Qin Tianjian only worked for the emperor, and these remarks must also be for the safety of the emperor, and then think of the witchcraft art in the palace, then it is self-evident who this demon star is.

It's just that now the emperor is blinded by the demon, and I don't know if he will listen to Qin Tianjian's words.

"A bunch of nonsense! Qin Tianjian, do you know the consequences of saying this, your head, do you still want it?" Feng Xuanche was already angry, not just for Qin Tianjian's words , And even more because someone stretched out their hand to the Qin Tianjian here, this is to challenge his emperor!

"Old minister, guilty." Suddenly Du Heng knelt on the ground with a plop, plausibly, and said: "The empress was only given birth back then, she was covered with dark spots, like an evil spirit, the old minister was soft-hearted and sent to Zhuangzi. Later, the empress came back, and the dark spots on her body disappeared without a trace. It seems that at that time, I am afraid that she learned sorcery!"
