What is the highest state of lying? That is to believe what you say, and Chen Baxian is in such a state now, which is called sincerity and gnashing of teeth.
If you don't know the inside story, you may really be deceived by Chen Baxian's appearance and think that he is a pitiful person who is loyal but is taken advantage of because of his carelessness.
Of course, Chen Baxian was not entirely lying.
When it came to treason and surrendering to the enemy and becoming a traitor, Chen Baxian never expected that this was indeed forced by the Liao family.
But to say that separatism and becoming king was not the original intention, but was forced by the Liao family? This is a bit ridiculous.
Generally speaking, what Chen Baxian said is 70% true and 30% false. Perhaps it is precisely because the truth is the majority that he can 'act' with such sincerity and gritted teeth.
Qin Hao watched Chen Baxian's performance quietly, and when he saw that some of his subordinates were actually moved by his nonsense and showed pity for him, he secretly said in his heart, 'He is a real actor.'
"In that case, all this is the work of the noble family. Not only are you not guilty, but you are also a victim?" Qin Hao said with a playful look.
Chen Baxian felt nervous. This question was not easy to answer. After thinking about it rapidly, he replied:
"The guilty general once aided Zhou in his crimes. He was bewitched by the traitor Wang Mang and fought against the King of Qin. His crime was unforgivable. However, he has now realized his mistake and asked the king to give the guilty general a chance to correct his evil ways."
It must be said that Chen Baxian's answer was quite clever, and Qin Hao couldn't help but want to give him a thumbs up.
Chen Baxian said this, denying his crime in the Liao Kingdom, but admitting the crime of confronting the Qin army before, but blaming Wang Mang for the blame.
The subtext is that big mistakes are everyone else's. I, Chen Baxian, am just an accomplice. I made a small mistake. Your Majesty, you are not so incapable of thinking, are you?
Looking at Chen Baxian, who already knew he was wrong but was ready to be killed, Qin Hao suddenly missed the sand curtain in prison. It was better to communicate with such a big boss to save his worries.
Qin Hao did not answer Chen Baxian immediately. Instead, he looked at Ye Qingmei on the side and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, is what Chen Baxian said true? Is the Liao family really so unbearable?"
As a woman, Ye Qingmei was originally not qualified to appear here, but Qin Hao gave her the qualification to participate in the military and political meeting on the grounds that she was a representative of the Liao army and an ally.
Regarding Qin Hao's behavior of bringing in private goods, Zhuge Liang and other civil and military officials originally wanted to dissuade him, but seeing that the marriage between Qin Gong and Sun's family was imminent, and Ye Qingmei would definitely become a princess in the future, they did not say anything more.
.
The term "long hair but short of knowledge" is obviously inappropriate when used on Ye Qingmei. Not only does she have beautiful black hair, she also has an IQ that 99.99% of people in the world cannot match.
After hearing Qin Hao's words, Ye Qingmei instantly understood Qin Hao's thoughts.
Qin Hao doesn't believe Chen Baxian and is he confirming the truth of what he said?
Of course not.
If Qin Hao wanted to kill Chen Baxian, he would not have appeared here at all, and would have been secretly dealt with on the way here.
The reason why she asked her this in public was just to use Chen Baxian to expose the crimes committed by the Liao family, so that these families could be dealt with in a fair and justifiable way in the future.
Which families of traitors are Qin Hao’s real targets?
"Your Majesty, what Chen Baxian said is true. The Liao family is indeed in bad shape and has no loyalty at all.
When my brother was in charge of the military and political affairs in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning, he was very kind to the aristocratic families. However, when there was a slight conflict of interest, they supported Gongsun Shu and Wang Mang's rebellion.
The death of General Gongsun Zan is also related to the local aristocratic families. Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong are both from aristocratic families..."
Ye Qingmei has no good impression of the Liao family. Gongsun Xuanyuan was cheated by these people. Now he finally has the opportunity to take revenge. Of course, there are revenges and injustices, so I will say it without any reservations.
So happy.
Of course, Ye Qingmei didn't lie, and everything she said was the truth.
The more Ye Qingmei spoke, the more excited she became, and the more she spoke, the more energetic she became. She kept talking non-stop, spitting out lotus flowers and fragrance at the same time, but could curse without uttering even a single curse word. She was confident, arrogant, elegant, and domineering.
The sight made all the generals present stunned.
This is too strong. If this eloquence is used in a scolding battle, the opponent must not be scolded to death.
Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and other civil servants looked at each other, a little worried about whether the marriage with the Gongsun family was correct. After all, this Ye Qingmei was obviously not a vegetarian.
Is there really anyone in the lord's harem who can shock her? Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen thought to themselves.
Ye Qingmei also noticed the strange looks in everyone's eyes. When she thought about what she had said before, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, and she immediately shut up and said no more.
Qin Hao laughed and joked: "Isn't Miss Ye a native of Zu'an?"
Ye Qingmei was shy and angry. She only thought about revenge, but she didn't expect that her truest side would be exposed, and the elegant and gentle persona she had always maintained in front of Qin Hao would also collapse.
At this thought, Ye Qingmei just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. She was so ashamed and angry that she ran away covering her face.
Seeing Ye Qingmei running out, all the civil and military ministers looked at each other, but a question appeared in their hearts, that is, where is Zu An?
Is there a county named "Zu'an" among the thirteen states?
"Ha ha……"
Seeing Ye Qingmei's embarrassment, Qin Hao not only did not say anything to comfort her, but instead burst out laughing, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: "I, Qin Hao, are going to settle for this woman."
Apart from Ren Hongchang, there is no other woman who can make Qin Hao's heart beat like this.
Even if she is as beautiful as Liu Mu, Qin Hao did not fall in love at first sight, but fell in love over time. The same goes for other women such as Cai Yan, Xiao Longnu, Mu Guiying, Yang Yuhuan and so on.
But when it came to Ye Qingmei, Qin Hao's heart suddenly moved.
Qin Hao has never been the kind of person who wants to possess beautiful women when he sees them. Otherwise, would he not eat Shi Yiguang and Wang Zhaojun? But he was attracted by Ye Qingmei, who was not as charming as the two women.
This is enough to show that Qin Hao is not greedy for Ye Qingmei's body, but Ye Qingmei is attracted to him.
Ye Qingmei is a time traveler. She is one of the few "similar people" who can listen to Qin Hao's words. In addition, she has a cheerful and kind personality, and can subtly affect the mood of the people around her.
When he was with her, Qin Hao didn't know why, but he felt happy and relaxed inexplicably.
"Should I marry this girl first? She is my fiancée anyway."
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao's smiling face appeared in his mind, and he shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind.
"Forget it, don't worry at this moment. As the lord, you should set an example. How can children love each other when the decisive battle is about to begin?"
