Chapter 211: Won the favor, but got the wrong person
The tone of Emperor Wu Su was not angry.
There was an imperceptible hint of hoarseness in the clear voice.
"Beili's martial arts is to intimidate other countries in troubled times, rather than letting you fight with each other."
This time, before Zhao Minghong could speak, Wei Ting spoke first.
"The last general is guilty, please deal with it, Your Majesty."
King Yong secretly cursed this man as an old fox, and said slowly, "I know my mistake, please forgive me."
Across the curtain, Ji Qingwu felt a little hungry. She looked at the various sweet pastries in front of her, but did not dare to move. She held her breath and listened to the voices in the palace.
Hearing the two men's confession, Emperor Wu Su said: "General Wei, you get up first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wei Ting stood up and Zhao Minghong, who was still kneeling on the ground, glanced at him.
Emperor Wu Su tapped his long fingers on the table and said leisurely: "My incompetent brother has always liked to cause trouble since he was a child. It is his fault that he provoked you first today."
Wei Ting noticed something, looked at it for a moment, and returned his hand. Said: "Your Majesty, although the prince started this matter, the general is also at fault and should not have taken action against the prince."
Wei Ting had a way to avoid this fight, but after hearing what King Yong said He shouted that Ji Qingwu was not allowed to marry him, and that he was not worthy of his fifth cousin.
The gloomy mood he had accumulated these days was all detonated by King Yong.
Emperor Wu Su nodded, the corners of his lips curved.
But his eyes were deep and cold as he said: "General Wei knew that he was wrong, but he knowingly committed the crime and attacked the emperor. What was his intention? Is he also dissatisfied with me?"
Wei Ting once again Kneeling down, surprise flashed in his eyes and he said: "The general will not dare."
The two looked at each other, and Emperor Wu Su said sternly: "You said you didn't dare, but you dared to fight with the prince in front of the Jinluan Palace. Your courage is simply unbelievable!"
Inside the room! When Ji Qingwu heard his cold tone, the hairs on his back stood up.
Wei Ting was lying on the ground, leaning on the gold bricks with both hands, and making tapping sounds with his fingers.
Emperor Wu Su's eyes fell from his lowered back to his hands.
Wei Ting said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, must know that I have no dissatisfaction with Your Majesty in my heart. What happened today is not my fault alone. It was actually King Yong who went too far. He led his people to surround him after he went to court. The general is trying to protect himself, and has no disrespect to the emperor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wu Su dropped the dessert plate on the corner of the table. .
The celadon plate fell to pieces, and the cakes rolled down to King Yong's feet.
Zhao Minghong saw the piece of Longjing tea cake with its skin peeled off from the corner of his eye, and instantly lowered his head.
Wei Ting was calm and said nothing.
"Li Yuzong, draft the decree!"
Only the suppressed angry voice of Emperor Wu Su could be heard in the palace.
When Ji Qingwu heard clearly what the emperor's decree was, she sat up from the couch and her eyes widened in shock.
The tea on the large rosewood table in front of the emperor was still warm.
In just a short time, Wei Ting, the Zhenbei general with outstanding military exploits, was demoted and demoted. He was demoted two levels in a row and was demoted to the commander of the forward battalion.
But King Yong only gave him a lenient sentence of half a year's salary.
What was most shocking to Ji Qingwu was that rewards and punishments were so unclear, which was not like Emperor Wu Su’s style of conduct.
Even she, a woman who is not familiar with political affairs, can predict that this decree will definitely cause an uproar in the court.
Maybe it would be true, saying that the emperor was partial to his own brothers and harshly criticized General Zhenbei, or that the emperor was afraid of Wei Ting's outstanding achievements and used this to suppress him.
But no matter what, the result will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the north.
Wei Ting and King Yong were driven out of the Qinzheng Hall together. Zhao Minghong did not gloat over Wei Ting's punishment of being demoted, but was still surprised.
In my memory, the emperor's brother had never been so "favored" towards him. If he caused trouble, he would be punished the most severely every time.
Wei Ting received the order calmly in the palace and did not argue again.
But after leaving the palace gate, he pointed at King Yong's nose and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, you must be careful in the future."
Zhao Minghong: "What do you mean?"
Wei Ting said: "If I see you once in the future, I will beat you once!"
In the eyes of the walking palace people, it was the two of them who formed a great relationship. General Wei said to His Majesty Dissatisfied with the treatment.
Tao Wanyin was still standing at the doorstep.
Zhao Minghong faced Wei Ting's back and shouted: "I will be afraid of you, a mere commander of the forward battalion!"
Wei Ting's back froze and his fists clenched, but he did not He strode away without causing any trouble at the entrance of Qinzheng Hall.
Zhao Minghong took a few steps in the direction of Tao Wanyin and asked, "What are you doing standing here?"
Tao Wanyin said, "The emperor called me here, but he hasn't allowed me to go back yet. .”
Zhao Minghong's eyes were fixed on her face, but he said sarcastically: "In front of this king, I come and I go. Is this the rule that the princess has always been proud of?"
Tao Wanyin avoided With his eyes, he said softly: "The emperor did not blame me for the Tao family's affairs, but still left me a I am satisfied with my life."
Zhao Minghong frowned and said, "The emperor spared you a life because you are my princess and because you have my son in your belly. You understand this. "
Tao Wanyin waited outside the palace for so long, but she didn't see Ji Qingwu come out.
A woman’s mind is delicate and sensitive. This is the Qinzheng Palace where the emperor handles political affairs and summons court workers. Even the ladies in the harem cannot stay here for long.
She said impartially: "I think it's Qingwu's credit."
Prince Yong had just been focused on Tao Wanyin, and didn't even see Ji Qingwu who was deliberately avoiding them.
Zhao Minghong felt pain all over his body. The knee that had been kneeling for so long was the least injured. The serious injuries were all caused by Wei Ting's dirty hands.
That damn forward battalion commander! He is just a cunning person, and the beatings caused hidden wounds to him.
Zhao Minghong was beaten and made to kneel as a punishment, but he did not get any favor from Tao Wanyin.
He shouted angrily: "None of her business!"
Feeling his anger, Tao Wanyin's face turned even paler. Emperor Wu Su asked her to restrain King Yong, how could she do it.
She had never done this before.
Now that she has no family to rely on, she is even less confident in front of King Yong. She lowers her eyes and remains quiet.
Li Yuzong came out of the palace and walked up to the two of them.
"See the prince and the princess."
Seeing that it was Mr. Li in front of the emperor, Zhao Minghong regained his composure and said, "Excuse me, what's the matter with Eunuch Li?"
Li Yuzong said: "Old man The slave is I have come to convey the emperor's decree that from now on, Princess Yong can move out of Anle Hall and return to Prince Yong's Mansion to wait for her childbirth."
The anger in Zhao Minghong's eyes was instantly replaced by joy, and he held Li Yuzong's hand excitedly.
Li Yuzong: "Did the prince get the wrong person?"
Zhao Minghong looked back at Tao Wanyin and found that she was not as happy as him, so the smile on his face faded.
Li Yuzong said again: "The Holy One also said"
King Yong: You can't finish it in one breath, we have all held hands
