"Jingyang is a honest child, and he actually used such a clumsy method. However, it saves you trouble. In the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager specifically instructed you to take care of me more. I have not returned for a long time now, and you are worried about visiting me. It is natural for anyone to find any mistakes."

"What about you? Since I have pinched my mind so accurately, why are you waiting here?" Cao Qianqian gritted her teeth, and the light in her eyes was dim.

Xie Luan finally calmed down a little bit because of the smile on her face. Her almond eyes were deep and steady, quiet and deep. She looked at Cao Qianqian in a calm tone and said in a calm tone, "Because, I want to ask for your help." When Cao Qianqian looked at her in shock, her expression still had not changed, and her tone was still calm, "Qianqian is still the same as at that time. You don't want me to stay, and I don't want to stay."

When the lights first came up, a banquet was set up in the open pavilions on both sides of the lotus pond. The male guests were on the left bank and the female friends were on the right bank. A lotus pond was separated by a lotus pond, and it was not against etiquette, but could hear each other. There were various palace lanterns hanging on both sides, and the shadows of the lights were reflected on the lotus pond. Under the breeze, the fragrance of flowers and the shadows of the lights intertwined, and the sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of toasts intertwined, making it a good banquet.

When the banquet reached the middle of the banquet, a palace servant whispered something in Queen Cao's ear. Queen Cao stood up with a calm expression, walked to Xie Luanyin with a smile, and said softly, "Madam Qi, Your Majesty is very happy to see Lord Qi, and drink more wine with him. Now, I am afraid I am a little drunk. I have sent someone to the side hall of Xie Cui Pavilion to rest for a while. You should go and have a look with me."

My husband is drunk, so he naturally has to go see him.

Because Xie Luan did not hesitate, he stood up and bent his knees towards Empress Cao. The two of them left the seat surrounded by a group of palace servants and maids, and headed towards Xie Cuige.

Many people in the hall followed, with curiosity and exploration.

Only the queen mother had a smile on her lips, but the darkness in her eyes gradually subsided. Even the colorful lights could not reflect the depth and turned into a dark silhouette.

Next to the side, the palace maid who was in charge who was serving her close to her came back after leaving for a moment.

The master and servant looked at each other. The palace maid in charge lowered her head, but the empress dowager turned to look at the direction where the queen and Xie Luanyin disappeared, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Among the rest, those curious people glanced at the figures of Empress Cao and Mrs. Qi who were already walking away. However, when they knew that Empress Cao was in the residence and Princess Yu, they were the most virtuous and virtuous person, so they no longer made any guesses. They only realized that whether it was Empress Cao or Your Majesty, they were both honored and favored by Qi Shen and his wife. It seemed that the vague guesses in the court were true.

When His Majesty first ascended the Great Treasures, he first wanted to commend Qi Shen, who defeated the Tatar Xiutu tribe in Helishan and his command of the soldiers in the Shaanxi commanded the soldiers of various garrisons. Even if the national treasury is empty, he would not want to shorten the food and clothing of the frontline soldiers.

Many people knew that His Majesty borrowed troops from Shaanxi, that is, Qi Shen, and then broke the chaos in the capital, and gained the upper hand in the competition between Ning and the three former princes, and eventually became the winner.

Although Qi Shen did not defend the imperial city at that time, after all, he made great contributions to the throne by Your Majesty. Your Majesty still remembers his kindness and wants to repay it.

Not to mention the rest, from this point of view, Your Majesty is different from his father after all, and his name is true for benevolence, righteousness and morality.

However, this is very cautious, but you can't just say it.

Even if the Duke of Ding was wronged and wronged, after all, there was a reason to be investigated. Now, there is King Ning in Liaodong, who died without being stagnant. In the south of the Yangtze River, there was a former prince who ruled across the river. If there was another Qi Shen, who was respectful to the troops in the northwest, then the court would be even more in danger. The Great Zhou Dynasty could not have another Duke of Ding.

Therefore, Qi Jing not only cannot reward but also punish.

This time, someone in the court spoke. Not only did Qi divide his troops to solve the danger in the capital, he also drove back the 100,000 Tatar troops that had already entered the pass. He even went deeper alone, destroying the Tatar Hall tribe and Xiutu tribe, losing half of the Tatar troops, and ensuring peace in the northwest border for several years. Such unparalleled achievements are not only not rewarded, but also punished? How to punish?

If you really want to punish, wouldn’t it be a shame to the hearts of thousands of soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Those who object, have something to say.

Qi Shen led his troops out of the pass and went deep into the hinterland of the Tatars alone, but who did he get the order?

The person standing on Qi Shen's side said again, at that time, the capital was in chaos, who would he ask for advice? He was the Marshal of the Supreme Emperor who was personally ordered to welcome the enemy and had full authority to command the border affairs. Moreover, the fighter opportunity was fleeting, and he took a quick and accurate way to fight the Tatars. If he had to delay the urge to the capital, then he simply didn't have to fight. How could the subsequent results come?

Those who think that Qi Shen is so rebellious and sending troops without permission are repeated, and again, this person has a rebellious heart and a commander, and holds heavy troops. If he is despised, it will be a disaster for the Great Zhou. He must not be tolerated and must be severely punished to serve as a warning. Otherwise, in the future, the generals stationed in various border defenses in the Great Zhou will follow the example. What are the laws and regulations of the court? Where are the military laws? Isn’t that a mess?

Those who refute also have refutation words.

Didn’t you just see that the war at the border has been extinguished and the Tatars have no time to move south and east for several years, so they feel that Qi Shen is useless and want to kill the donkey?

In short, in these days, in the court, it is the man who has reason and the woman who has reason, and the man who has trouble.

Although Your Majesty issued an order early in the morning to recall Qi Shen and his wife to the capital, he kept it and never even summoned him once. This attitude is also unpredictable.

It was said that two days ago, after the court meeting, His Majesty was discussing affairs with several cabinet masters in the imperial study room, and he said that Qi Dushi was indeed a little unruly. Although he had made merits, he had also made mistakes. If he had made merits, he should be rewarded and punished. As for how to reward and punished, it was not mentioned in half a word.

I thought that Your Majesty would leave Qi Shen aside, but just took into account the fact that Qi Shen borrowed troops to him and defeated the Tatars again. He made contributions and didn't know how to speak for a while. Besides, I was afraid that what to do was to deal with it, and I had never thought about it yet. However, it was just a matter of time.

But today, at this spring banquet, the Empress Dowager and the Empress treated the Qi Xie family very well, and they were not sure what His Majesty meant.

Xie Luanyin has also heard of things in the court these days.

Although Qi Shen did not attend court or face the emperor, he was not imprisoned. Every day, he often went out to visit friends and went to banquets. What should he do?

And even if he doesn't go out, he has his own way to know some news.

And he will never hide it from Xie Luanyin.

Especially recently, I have become more and more interested in discussing with her. Even in the eyes of others, women should never interfere.
