Chapter 96: Selfish and arrogant

It is not difficult to find out what happened in the early morning. There are so many ministers participating in the meeting, and everyone has seen it. No matter how bad it is, Lu Qipei is also facing upwards, and it takes only a moment for people to ask.
So not long after Qi Yang returned to the mansion, the secret guard sent to investigate came back and found more things than happened at the court meeting.
"Yesterday, King Wei and King Wu fought to no avail. The two of them acted in front of the imperial court and made His Majesty angry. His Majesty Wu was injured at the meeting this morning, but he did not let him participate, but he still came and presented a letter at the same time. The memorial for disaster relief. It is said that the memorial is very well written. After your majesty read it, he received a lot of praise. King Wu took the opportunity to grab the disaster relief job from his majesty.
The dark guard knelt on the ground and whispered.
After hearing this, Qi Yang asked, "What did Wang Wei say?"
The dark guard replied: "We have fought for it, but he has not been able to compete with Wu, and he was reprimanded by his majesty. It is said that he is self-interested, not if Wu Wang is attentive, and he is also worried about sharing the prince if he is injured."
Qi Yang just wanted to laugh when she heard this. She didn't know that her father could still say such a thing, as if she didn't know that Wu Wang's memoir was someone else's knife. But when it comes to catching a knife, she asked: "Who wrote the memorial to the disaster relief?"
The dark guard had known that she might have asked, and even checked this: "It's a staff member in the Prince Wu Mansion. In the early days, Wang Wang was weak, and the staff in the mansion did not have a very early career. Now Wang Wu has the opportunity to emerge. The staff are dedicated."
Qi Yang was surprised after hearing this. But then I thought about it, and felt that if the staff was really talented, it would be strange to vote for the weak King Wu early. Not to mention the Prince’s East Palace, replaced by the original Qi Wang Chu, and even the current Wei Wang, which does not seem to be Wu Wang is more worthy of assistance-as far as Qi Yang is concerned, she really hasn’t been seen in Wu Wang. What a Mingjun's appearance.
Thinking of this, I got my heart again. Qi Yang turned his head and ordered people to go to the East Palace to see if he could find the memorial letter that King Wu presented today. She wanted to see how well she wrote.
And just before Qi Yang got the memorial, King Wu had already led the people out of Beijing, rushing on a fast horse, full of spirits.
There has never been a lack of official duties at Dali Temple. Lu Qipei was busy in Dali Temple for another day. He waited until the evening to return in the sunset. When she returned, Qi Yang frowned at the memorial.
After reaching the screen, Lu Qipei asked, "What's the matter, what is your Highness looking at?"
Qi Yang waited for her to get out of the dress, then raised her hand and said, "I'm watching the disaster relief memorial presented by King Wu to his father this morning. I have read it, and it is well written, and I am concerned about everything. Really. If you want to execute it according to this, you will be a stunned young man with no experience, who can handle the errand well. And going here as King Wu is enough to hold the place."
Lu Qipei nodded carelessly, sat down next to Qi Yang, and drank the tea she had at hand: "That's pretty good. It's the first time that King Wu does this kind of errand. He must be dedicated and the people will suffer less."
Qi Yang glanced at her, and ignored her when she drank his tea, but still frowned, "But this melodrama is so old-fashioned, it must not be an ordinary person's ghostwriting. How could there be such a capable person under King Wu? Or rather, he With such a capable person, how can he wait until now to appear?"
Mingzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. This flood is not as serious as a river bursting its embankment. In the final analysis, the impact is limited. And Wu Wang wanted to get ahead. It was not that there was no better chance before, but he chose this one, even at the mercy of fighting Wei Wang, Qi Yang really couldn't understand the key.
Lu Qipei rubbed his finger at the tea cup, thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is something I haven't told your Highness."
When Qi Yang heard this, his eyebrows raised: "What is it?"
Lu Qipei's eyes drooped slightly, and he replied: "In the past three years, I have taken over most of the forces from Qi Bo, and gradually lost contact with the north. Xie Yuan should have noticed it. The honorable envoy entered Beijing last time. Warn me. But I think with Xie Yuan's temperament, he will do more than that, and after this incident, he probably won't trust me anymore."
Qi Yang understood, but first grabbed Lu Qipei's arm and asked, "When did you say that the honorable envoy warned you when he entered Beijing last time? What did he do, why didn't you tell me?!"
She spoke sternly, obviously a little angry, and at the same time a little bit scared-Lu Qipei had too many secrets, just taking out one would be enough to make the two of them in a situation where they could not be recovered. Especially this secret is still in the hands of the enemy.
Of course, Lu Qipei understood Qi Yang's concerns, his eyebrows eased, and he smiled: "Aning, don't worry, he can't let me go easily."
Qi Yang didn't believe it, her brows frowned tighter: "Where is there anything that can't be given up? That's a cruel man! Xie Hongyi was also his parent and child back then. He didn't even say to give up and give up, so he could not do anything to benefit him. come out?!"
These words made Lu Qipei's heart tremble slightly-time has passed, and looking back, the truth of the year seems to be easy to piece together. It's nothing more than the new establishment of the country. There are many domestic contradictions, and there are different opinions on the use of troops. In the end, the death of Xie Hongyi contributed to the battle. It seems that Yu Rongguo did not benefit much, but it was Xie Yuan and Emperor Rong's choice at that time.
The reason why Xie Hongyi was abandoned back then was probably because he was young and self-willed, broke away from Xie Yuan's control, and insisted on going to Liang Guo and his party to cause trouble. He is young and frivolous, knowing that there is a person like Lu Qipei in Liang Guozhi who has always been with her, but he does not know how much trouble Lu Qipei can be caused by his face alone.
Xie Yuan's layout in Liang Country, Lu Qipei is also an important part of it, and Xie Hongyi's actions annoyed him. And the reason why Xie Yuan is so ruthless and ruthless towards his parents and children is actually only because Xie Hongyi has half the blood of Rongdi on the grassland.
Neither Lu Qipei nor Qi Yang have seen Xie Yuan, but they have known for many years, but they have discovered that he is a selfish, tough and arrogant person.
Inferring from his character, I am afraid that the war between the two countries was completely caused by him. The Rongguo he built up with his single-handed support was nothing but a means for him to compete with Liangguo. If both lose in a big battle, it should be the situation he wants to see most.
It is a pity that Rong Guo failed to take advantage in the end. However, Xie Yuan is not a loss. After all, Liang Guo’s prince Xian was killed by him for half his life, and the loss of the crown prince is also a fatal crisis for Liang Guo’s inheritance...
The two looked at each other, somewhat silent.
After a while, Qi Yang finally calmed down. She raised her hand and stroked her forehead, and said, "I am impatient, you have your own thoughts. But if you can't handle it, you must tell me."
Lu Qipei nodded, Shen Ning's eyebrows relaxed, and a gentle smile: "Well, I know."
Seeing her like this, Qi Yang calmed down between her eyebrows, and she pulled the topic back again: "Okay, let's continue talking about King Wu. According to Ngapoi, this change of King Wu is related to Xie Yuan?"
Lu Qipei said, "Perhaps, the recent situation is really hard to tell. When I dismissed King Lachu, it was only a momentary stance. By the way, I killed the prince and killed the monkey. Who knows that Qi Wang turned his head and something went wrong, and now only Wei Wang and Wu are left. King..."
Qi Yang looked down and thought of his previous life: "Could it be that Xie Yuan chose the support of King Wu this time?"
In the previous life, Xie Yuan forced the prince to death, and supported the third prince in the upper ranks, using him to control the situation. Even if Qi Yang and Lu Qipei failed to see the end, judging from the situation at that time and the ability of the three princes themselves, the subversion of Liang's regime seemed inevitable. But now that the three princes have died, according to previous life experience, Xie Yuan's personal support seems to make sense.
Qi Yang sometimes gets tired of thinking about it, and I don't know if her brothers are really stupid, or the emperor hadn't planned to train them from the beginning, because there was no one except the prince who could do anything.
However, Lu Qipei heard Qi Yang's guess but did not respond. She always felt that things didn't seem to be the case. But to be specific about the reason, it seems that you can't get your thoughts out for a while.
In the end, Qi Yang sighed and said, "Fine, Wang Wu just came out of Beijing today. It will take a month or two to wait for him to return from the disaster relief. Let's take a look at the rest of the matter and let's talk about it later." Added another sentence: "However, the staff under King Wu can look first to see if he really assists King Wu, or if he has other plans."
Lu Qipei nodded this time and agreed with Qi Yang's words. In his own heart, he felt that it would be best to send someone to the Wei Palace to check it out.
The two put aside these heavy topics for a while, Qi Yang turned relaxed again, got up and took Lu Qipei's arm and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark soon, and dinner is useless. Let's go to Shui Xie to eat, it's cool there. ."
Of course Lu Qipei followed her. When the two stepped out of the room, it was already dawning.
At this time, the heat of the day has not yet dissipated, and after a short walk, he can be sweated out by the heat. Fortunately, the water pavilion is really cool, the night breeze blows away the heat, and there are insects and frogs that are not interesting.
Lu Qipei and Qi Yang spent a good night in the water pavilion after having dinner, and did not return to their room to rest until the middle of the moon.
The two of them were lying on the couch at night, thinking of being left out in the past few days, Lu Qipei drew closer to Qi Yang. In the past, I didn't think there was a big bed, but at this time it seemed to make people realize that it was too spacious.
Qi Yang closed his eyes, listening to the rustling movement in his ears, and wondered what Lu Qipei was doing. She was a little funny, but she still closed her eyes and said nothing, until there was an obvious heat source near, then she said: "Don't get too close, it's hot."
The rustling movement stopped, but one arm was still lying on Qi Yang's waist.
With his arms tightened slightly, he brought the person into his arms. Lu Qipei leaned into Qi Yang's ear and whispered aggrievedly: "You didn't feel too hot in the past, but now you say that, you just hate me, right?"
In the darkness, even if he couldn't see each other's faces clearly, Qi Yang seemed to be able to think of Lu Qipei's expression at the moment. She squeezed the corners of her lips slightly, and before she could speak, she felt a hot and humid earlobe, and she was caught in her mouth.
The warm body immediately covered her, and completely pressed her under her body...
