I was Idle and Cool Chapter 149: Golden Palace Meeting

Looking at Eunuch Chuanzhi's expression, Lu Jinxi knew that things might not be so easy.

After finishing her makeup, she followed the **** into the palace.

Originally, she thought that this time was the same as the last palace banquet, but when the **** led the way, she led her directly to the Taiji Hall, which surprised her.

The **** only explained: "The adults are all discussing matters in the DPRK, and it is announced that you have something to ask about."

I have something to ask.

That should be the case of the mountain bandits.

Before stepping into the Golden Palace, she thought about all the things before and after herself, and asked herself that there was no wrong plot, no collusion with mountain bandits, no guilty conscience, and she simply walked in frankly. .

"The minister's wife, Mrs. Lu, long live my emperor."

Without squinting or even a glance at the people around, Lu Jinxi bowed his head, stood at the bottom of the center of the hall, and bowed in a calm voice.

"Flat."

The voice of Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che resounded from the top of her head, echoing in this slightly spacious and solemn hall, quite a flavor from the Nine Heavens.

Lu Jinxi stood up according to her words, and only then did she have the opportunity to quickly look at the hall.

As the most important place for the daily affairs of the court, this hall is naturally resplendent. The golden bricks on the ground are dark and can reflect the shadow of people.

The four corners are covered with gold coiled dragon pillars, which are extremely majestic.

The civil and military officials are divided into four columns and stand on both sides.

At first glance, it is neat and solemn.

The imperial masters Gu Chengqian, Taifu Wei Bingqian, Lu's father Lu Jiuling, the nine-door admiral and the infantry commander Liu Jin, Fang Shaoxing, who was promoted to the third-rank cavalry leader a while ago, and...

Gu Juefei.

Now he is out of the Hanlin Academy and works in the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the newly established Lifan Hall. He is the director of the Lifan Hall.

A stone blue white pheasant suit is fitted, but the position is very forward.

It looks like it's just a matter of resignation.

He didn't even look back when he heard Lu Jinxi entering the hall, he just stood there watching his nose and his heart, as if he didn't know her, and he was very close to those who had no outside rumors about her.

Xiao Che, who was sitting on the dragon chair, glanced down, and said directly: "Mrs. Xuan's interview this time is because of the bandit trouble that Madam encountered some time ago, and the DPRK and the Central Committee have already made a lot of efforts on this matter. The investigation. There are only some things, but I still need to focus on asking Mrs. Zhou. Come on.”

"Yes."

Among the civil servants on the left, one person immediately responded.

Dali Temple Minister Zhou Shaoqun, over fifty years old, but in good spirits.

This time, he is leading the investigation.

At this moment, I directly bowed to Lu Jinxi and gave a salute, and then asked: "I have seen my wife, Zhou Shaoqun, the next official, is responsible for investigating the murder case of the Huns negotiating peace mission. Although he has already sent someone to the house to record After all kinds of confessions, there are still a few details to ask my wife in court today."

"Please speak."

Lu Jinxi was also polite, not stage fright at all, but asked him to ask questions.

As a matter of fact, these days, I've asked almost as much as I can.

There are many questions that Zhou Shaoqun is asking now that Lu Jinxi has already answered, and there is nothing that needs to be carefully thought about.

It's just that she gradually realizes the direction of the problem, which seems a little strange.

"Ma'am, are you sure that after you were kidnapped by the mountain bandits, you have heard this group of people speak the Xiongnu language and mentioned the three words "Lord Lan"?"

Zhou Shaoqun's expression became serious, and he asked seriously.

Lu Jinxi said: "I'm not sure if it is the Xiongnu language, but it is definitely not the Chinese language from my Central Plains, at least it is used by foreigners. I have heard the words 'Lord Lan' with my own ears, and there is no falsehood. "

The court went up and down, and suddenly it was quiet.

The question that Zhou Shaoqun was about to ask is almost the same. However, after Lu Jinxi answered the last question with a positive answer, the cold sweat on his forehead was dripping down.

"There's nothing wrong with the subordinate officer..."

Sitting high in the hall, Xiao Che was wearing a black dragon robe and twelve imperial crowns on his head. /

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Xiao Che sneered and called his name: "Master Zhou?"

Zhou Shaoqun shuddered and hurriedly bowed: "If the words of the general's wife are true, then the origin of this group of mountain bandits must be hiding a great conspiracy, and they are bound to collude with the Xiongnu. The ministers are stupid, and I really don't know how they would commit such a **** case when the Xiongnu had already negotiated peace with our country. And the death of Huyanqi is quite suspicious."

It's all bullshit!

What's the difference between this and not saying?

Xiao Che's eyes became icy cold, and he glanced around. When everyone touched his eyes, they couldn't help but bow their heads, as if they were afraid of being pointed out by him to express their opinions.

"Isn't there a lot of skill in participating in and out on weekdays? Now everyone has become humble, how much ability do you think you have!"

The sarcasm in the words is not concealed at all.

Xiao Che is the emperor himself, so what face should he give to this group of ministers?

In the end, the gaze fell back on Gu Juefei's body, and his tone was softened. He pressed his anger and asked, "What does Gu Aiqing think?"

Gu Juefei stepped out of the queue without hesitation, bowed and bowed first, and then opened his mouth slowly: "I am bold, but I have some ideas."

Everyone's eyes fell on him.

That feeling is not like the stars holding the moon, but it is like a thorn in the eyes of everyone, and no one except the emperor wants to see him.

This situation is rare for Gu Juefei.

Of course, Lu Jinxi noticed the change in the atmosphere in the courtroom, and after a little pondering, he came to a recollection: the courtroom does not need Jiangnan Shilin, the so-called "everyone who knows him is his friend", It's simply not possible here.

Even if Gu Jue is incompetent, it is impossible to make friends with everyone.

Because of different positions.

In Jiangnan Shilin, they are all literati, and there is no objective conflict of interest. Therefore, with Gu Juefei's ability, it is very simple to make most people his friends.

But here we are...

She just remembered a sentence he said before, that a man can do something and not do something.

At this moment, Gu Juefei has obviously changed his past behavior, and the edge that was deeply hidden in his temperament has been revealed.

Bright, stunning.

People admire him, envy him, even hate him, but at the same time they can't do anything about him.

It's like this moment.

Without looking at those eyes that fell on him that were sharper than the tip of a needle, Gu Juefei calmly made his own careful speculation.

And the first sentence made all the ministers stunned.

"The minister thought that the accident in the mission was not caused by me, Da Xia, and was actually a disaster for the Xiongnu royal court!"

The court of the Huns?

Although Lu Jinxi's previous answers convinced them that the mountain bandits had something to do with the Xiongnu, Lu Jinxi was the one who robbed the mountain bandits, and Huyanqi was the one who had the connection with the Xiongnu mission. This group of bandits did it, how could they contact Wang Ting?

Many people thought he was talking nonsense.

Xiao Che, who was sitting above, didn't seem to have thought that he would even make such a shocking speculation, and his brows suddenly tightened, and he said, "You continue."

Gu Juefei then continued: "First, the Xiongnu embassy was killed, and no one except Huyanqi escaped. This proves that Huyanqi must have a relationship with this group of people. Soon after, the general's wife was the general's leader. The widow's wife was robbed by the mysterious mountain bandits with suspicious behavior, but Huyanqi appeared in this group of mountain bandits, and according to the wife's words, these mountain bandits were afraid that they had all been on the battlefield. The murderer of the minister and the murderer of the general's wife are most likely the same people."

This is a reasonable guess.

Everyone has no opinion.

Lu Jinxi was also curious about how Gu Juefei analyzed this matter in her heart, so she watched his silhouette standing in front of her and listened quietly.

"The emperor and your colleagues may not know something. Now this Huyanqi is in the Xiongnu, but he is a darling and old man who is in front of Princess Lanqu, the pearl in the palm of his hand, and is quite trusted by Princess Lanqu. Before, he was the staff of the third prince Yi Xian."

When he said this, Gu Juefei had already smiled slightly.

"Prince Ixian led the battle, Princess Lanqu led the peace, and the murder of the mission was not provoked by me, Daxia, but someone from the Huns conspired."

This Huyanqi was inconspicuous in the past.

No one knows who he is or what his past is. But there are always some who have heard of it, not to mention that Gu Juefei said it so firmly, he must have come prepared, and what he said was true.

Everyone listened, and they all vaguely understood the key.

Which one can stand on the court is not a human being?

It can even be said that every one of the conspiracies and tricks in the Xiongnu royal court has appeared in this great summer court.

No exceptions!

Gu Juefei has been recovering from the injury for half a month, but at least he can move freely, but he can't stand it for a long time in this court.

There is a slight perspiration on the forehead and a pale face.

At this time, he made a long story short: "The current situation of the Xiongnu royal court should be clear to the emperor and his colleagues. The princes are incompetent, but Princess Lanqu is more daring and has the demeanor of an old Dan than when she was young, so He is deeply liked by Lao Shanyu, and it can be said that he has a lot of responses in the royal court. Prince Ixian and others are all suppressed by him, and their hearts have been unconvinced for a long time. If the peace talks can be disrupted and the war between the two countries is provoked again, Princess Lanqu, who is a girl, cannot be with them. Therefore, this **** case is very likely to be affected by the infighting in the court of the Huns.”

"Makes sense..."

"That's true."

"But there is something wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, the answer he gave made sense, causing all the officials around him to whisper, only a few high-ranking old foxes said nothing.

Fang Shao has done a good job in suppressing the bandits. When he came back, he got rid of the abusive position of Jin Wuwei, and now he has changed into a court uniform and stood in the column of the military attache.

When Gu Juefei spoke, he didn't respond.

Only after listening to all the analysis, he frowned quietly.

The starting point of all Gu Juefei's speculations was Huyanqi's body. It can be said that there is nothing wrong with it whether it is emotion or reason.

The problem is...

There is something strange about this Huyanqi.

Others don't know, but Fang Shaoxing is 10,000.

At that time, Gu Juefei entrusted him with the task of flanking Yanchi Mountain from behind, so he judged the terrain and launched a surprise attack, caught the opponent by surprise, and almost killed them all.

But that doesn't include Huyanqi.

This little old man is a civil servant, and he can't lift his shoulders or hands. When his men caught him, they were not in the front mountain where the battle was fierce, but in the house behind the mountain.

The people huddled together, cowardly.

At that time, the army was in chaos, Fang Shaoxing didn't take this man seriously, and only had him **** and thrown aside, and dealt with it later.

But who would have thought?

At the end of the war in Qianshan, when he returned to the dilapidated house occupied by a group of "mountain bandits", the people below came to report that Huyanqi was dead.

He rushed over to check, and saw that the man was lying in the corner of the dilapidated courtyard, with an arrow in the neck, out of breath.

A person who has been bound tightly before, and his body is not strong enough, how can he have the ability to break free and escape?

And so strangely dead in the corner.

Fang Shaoxing immediately asked the group of officers and soldiers, but no one admitted that it was his own hands.

In the end, it can only be considered that someone accidentally killed someone, and because Huyanqi was an envoy of the Xiongnu, the matter was huge, so no one dared to recognize it.

Or...

The few escaped from that group of bandits, they went back and forth, afraid of what Huyanqi would say, so they killed him.

Suffice to say, it's just a minor character, and it's no big deal if you die.

Fang Shaoxing likes to lead troops to fight, and doesn't want to spend his brain on these people, so he didn't think deeply after returning to the capital.

However, at this moment, Gu Juefei's inference...

He couldn't tell where the vague feeling that was not quite right came from, but in the back of his mind, a terrifying thought suddenly popped up: on Yanchi Mountain at that time, except for the officers and soldiers he led, and Besides the escaped mountain bandits, who else has the ability to attack Huyanqi?

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Fang Shaoxing stared at Gu Juefei's eyes in front of him, and suddenly became a little dark and unclear.

He remembers-

The secret guards of the Grand Master's Mansion are all good players.

If you don't care about motives and simply talk about the ability to do it, it is possible for officers and soldiers to escape, it is possible for the bandits to escape, and of course the secret guards brought by Gu Juefei are also possible.

Just...

Smacking in the bottom of my heart, Fang Shaoxing finally stopped the thought.

After all, what kind of relationship can a Huyanqi have with Gu Juefei? What's more, he has already recognized Gu Juefei's friend, let alone a Huyanqi, even if he killed ten of them, he would not be able to identify them.

Fang Shaoxing has never been a normal person, nor a normal person's view of right and wrong.

So he kept silent.

My eyes wandered around among the officials, and then I adjusted my mind, so I could "watch the play" in my leisure time.

As for the specific truth about Huyanqi, only Gu Juefei, who is now full of lies, knows it.

He neither shakes out his deepest guesses nor implicates himself in it.

From beginning to end, it was someone else's business, so he left it clean.

Obviously, no one in this court has the ability to expose his lies.

Xiao Che is even more impossible.

He trusted Gu Juefei the most, and after listening to this analysis, he also felt reasonable, and only asked: "According to Aiqing's opinion, how should this matter be dealt with next?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the Xiongnu in Daxia have been fighting hard for a long time, and now the national strength of Daxia has recovered a little, but the Xiongnu is completely the opposite. Even if the envoys of the peace talks died in my Daxia territory, I think they will not be able to start a war for the time being."

Gu Juefei was still calm and composed, and he didn't even regard the trouble in front of him as trouble.

When he opened his mouth to make up such a conjecture that could convince everyone, he was already sure that this conjecture would also be convinced by the Xiongnu royal court.

The smile on his lips deepened, and the coldness in Gu Juefei's eyes quietly permeated, but it was hidden in that humble and elegant gesture.

"According to my humble opinion, I should tell the truth, and then show my favor to Princess Lanqu. If the forces in the Xiongnu royal court can be balanced, and their battles will be attributable to internal friction, then I can rest easy in the summer."

Since ancient times, the siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top.

Gu Juefei is undoubtedly one of the best.

As soon as Lu Jinxi heard this, he took a deep breath in his heart, secretly thinking that Gu Juefei's few words could be called murder without blood!

Princess Lanqu is originally a princess, and generally has absolutely no qualifications to inherit the throne.

But once Da Xia secretly supports her and balances the power of her and the other princes, one can maintain the basic situation of the main peace faction on the Xiongnu side, and the other can make the internal division of the Xiongnu, and even take the initiative to win the support of Da Xia , Where else can we separate the mind to provoke war?

It's not like it's not poisonous!

But if this one can be done, it will be a good thing for the people of the Great Xia and Xiongnu countries.

At this time, Lu Jinxi felt uneasy.

She looked at Gu Juefei's back from the back, the fifth-rank white pheasant official in his uniform, and although it looked a little simple, at this moment, it was completely unable to cover the dazzling brilliance from him.

He is ambitious and talented.

Up and down the court and the opposition, after a little thought, they all felt the feasibility of this strategy. Although he felt that Gu Juefei's playfulness was too scary in his heart, all of them agreed on the face.

Xiao Che breathed a sigh of relief.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "In this case, this matter is still under the jurisdiction of Lifan Hall, and it is still handled by Aiqing."

"The minister obeys the order."

Gu Jue is neither happy nor angry, bowing and bowing, which is regarded as taking over this tricky errand.

He said it was easy, but how could it be so easy to do? There are many twists and turns inside. Therefore, most people have no objection to him taking over the matter.

Just...

It's the majority of people, after all.

Before Gu Juefei got up, a contemptuous sneer was heard from the side, and then a civilian in a golden pheasant suit appeared on the left.

The person bowed to Xiao Che and said directly: "Chen Zhao Xian has this book!"

Want to speak at this time?

The hearts of the ministers in the DPRK and China jumped abruptly, knowing that something big was about to happen: This is Zhao Xian!

When the second rank of the dynasty, supervise the censor!

As the saying goes, when the censor does not open his mouth, he opens his mouth.

Anyone who is a censor, no matter if it is on the tongue or on the pen, is not a good person! Not to mention that Zhao Xian has always been upright.

Now that I speak, I guess I know it's aimed at Gu Juefei.

As expected, before Xiao Che could respond, Zhao Xian had a cold face and said coldly, "I want to impeach the head of the Lifan Hall of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Juefei!"
