Chapter 383 Jiangnan Shuangfeiyan
The Xixia army is returning to the capital at this moment, but the generals and soldiers are all wearing white clothes.
All the soldiers were silent, and the people along the way were stunned. At first they were worried that something was wrong with Li Yuanhao, but they soon got the news that the emperor's favorite Empress Zi'er had passed away.
They didn't have a deep impression of the empress at first, but now everyone was spreading the rumor that the empress died on the battlefield, blocking the enemy's poisonous arrows for the emperor.
At this time, everyone deeply admired this girl from the Western Regions, because in their hearts, Li Yuanhao was a god, and the woman who saved the god was naturally a saint in their hearts.
Yiye heard the news about the fire in the palace. He paid special attention to the news. He had something on his mind. He was thinking about Zi'er's death and what Concubine Ming had done.
He seemed to understand something in his heart.
Jian Yumei saw that when the Xixia army returned to the capital, Yiye met Concubine Ming's brother Mingzhu intentionally or unintentionally.
"Brother Ming has provided great support to our army this time. I thank you on behalf of the Emperor. Without your support, it would have been much more difficult for us to defeat the Liao army this time. Fortunately, you came to my place and gave me some money so that I could recruit To gather more warriors and help the emperor defeat Liao Xingzong at the critical moment, you are a hero," Yiye said.
"Hey, it's a pity that I still couldn't bring back my sister's life. She still died," Mingzhu said.
"Brother Mingzhu, there are some things I won't say. You helped the emperor this time. It was for the sake of the emperor that I talked to you a few more words. What your sister did was very courageous," Kazuye said.
"Prime Minister, my sister has been punished for what she did wrong," Mingzhu sighed.
"The emperor's favorite empress was injured by an enemy's poisonous arrow on the front line. If no one was frightened, the toxin would not have reversed into the heart and died. Empress Zi'er was obviously getting better at the time, but she suddenly died of fright. Mingzhu Sir, this is strange," Kazuye said.
"Master Kazuyo, how do you put this?" Mingzhu said with her glasses widened.
"And your sister was suddenly burned to death. You can't even see the body clearly. You said, no one can tell whether it was your sister or someone else who was burned to death," Kazuye said.
At this time, Mingzhu's face turned pale, and suddenly he knelt down, "Prime Minister, save me, I really don't know anything. I originally expected my sister to enter the palace and bring honor to the family, but I didn't expect this to happen. I really don't know anything." ah,"
Kazuye looked at Mingzhu at this moment.
He helped Mingzhu up.
"Brother Ming, don't be like this. Empress Zi'er is already dead. That day I saw that Empress Zi'er was dead and the emperor was too sad. I told the emperor that it should be someone from Liao who did it. The purpose of the people from Liao was to make the emperor sad. There was no threat to the country, and the emperor believed it at that time, so he was able to cheer up and prevent the Liao people from succeeding in their conspiracy. But if the emperor knew that someone might be harming Zi'er, what do you think would happen," Yiye said.
"Then, the emperor will be very hateful, violent, and angry at others, and..." Mingzhu did not dare to say anything.
"He will investigate. Your sister is the first suspect. No matter whether she is dead or alive, he will find her. Then your family will also be in danger. If the emperor destroys all nine of your clans in a fit of anger, do you think it is possible?" Kazuye said.
"Yes, it's possible. Prime Minister, please save me. From now on, you will be my reborn parents," Mingzhu's whole body trembled.
"Brother Ming, in fact, I am also thinking about Xixia and the emperor. Think about it, Empress Zi'er is no longer here, and your sister has also disappeared. Even if it is ashes to dust to dust to earth, if it continues to be implicated, your family will be gone. "The emperor also has one less supporter, right? Otherwise, if you continue to support the emperor, nothing will happen in the future," Kazuyo said.
"Thank you, Prime Minister. Thank you, Prime Minister. I will support Your Majesty. I will never forget the Prime Minister's great kindness," Mingzhu said.
"I am a Han. I came to Xixia just to help the emperor and to achieve my own achievements. I am not very greedy for money, but you know, I am a Han after all. I also need to communicate with the party nobles in the court. They Only then will you support me and tolerate me, but you know that I am not a businessman, and the official salary is not much, and I cannot be a corrupt official, so I really don’t have much money. If Brother Ming is willing to pay me Friend, if I need to spend money, just support me then," Kazuyo said.
"Yes, yes. If Brother Yiye needs anything in the future, I will give him my full support. My business originally relies on everyone's support. I hope Brother Yiye will support my business more in the future, so that I can better support the Emperor and Yiye. Brother Ye," Mingzhu said.
"It's easy to say, easy to say. By the way, what you said today can't be told to anyone, you know," Kazuye said.
"Yes, of course I know this. I know that the Prime Minister also does my best and thinks I can be trusted. Don't worry, I will definitely remember your great kindness. You are the great benefactor of my family. No matter whether my incompetent sister is alive or dead, save me." You, the prime minister, belong to my family," Mingzhu said.
"You're welcome, Brother Ming Yazhi, I will have to ask you for more advice in the future," Kazuyo said.
"Not much elegance, but I just recently recruited a troupe from the Song Dynasty. I heard that the Jiangnan ditty was very good. I originally wanted to give it to the emperor, but I felt that the emperor was not in a good mood recently, so I gave it to him directly. Sir, the two lead singer girls are fourteen years old and very pretty. When I bought them, they made it clear that they were still babies, just for you to enjoy. I know that you like the Song Dynasty girls the most. Girl, I hope you like it this time," Mingzhu said.
Yiye thought to himself, this pearl, no wonder the business is doing so well, he even knows his own hobby, which not many people know about, he has always been cautious in Xixia, never looking for more party women, just for fear that party people will be jealous of him To bring disaster to myself, I just found a Han girl without any trouble, and the number of times was not many, and I didn't stay in the house afterwards. I was just worried that people would spread the word that I had various agendas, such as thinking about the Han people in my heart. He might betray the party at some point, etc. It would be very painful for him.
But this time, as a party noble, Mingzhu gave herself a troupe, so it was justifiable for her to keep it.
Kazuye admired this pearl very much.
Jian Yumei saw that Mingzhu's Jiangnan opera troupe was delivered to Yiye's house. Yiye's eyes widened when he saw the two lead singers.
