Chapter 29: There are treacherous and slander inside
"No, no, of course I trust Mr. Fang!" Princess Qingping said quickly: "Please tell me what to do! I will listen to you!"
"First of all, your quarrel has missed opportunities for several days, and the soldiers have also become resentful. Therefore, the most important thing for you now is to improve your morale!" Fang Qingshu said.
"How should I improve?" asked Princess Qingping.
"Of course it's a murder!" Fang Qingshu stood up and said firmly: "Immediately investigate the ministers of the Lord's peace sect, find out the guys who have received bribes from the enemy country, and kill them without mercy!"
"Is this OK?" Princess Qingping said hesitantly.
"Why is it not good?" Fang Qingshu said angrily: "What I look down on the most is this group of bastards who only recognize money. When the country is about to unify the mainland, they only care about their own interests. It is not an exaggeration to destroy the nine clans for these bastards!"
"Yes, it's right. I think so too!" The little prince also shouted, "Sister, we were chased by Wang Shoujun. When we fled south, those civil servants hid when they saw us, as if we were all plague gods, but now they came over to show their achievements. Bah, what are they? I have said that I want to kill them, but you have to say that you are kindness and forgiveness. I am really depressed!"
"Brother!" Princess Qingping rebuked: "You are still young, why don't you know? Don't talk nonsense. After all, these civil servants are meritorious ministers who assist the former kings. They have great prestige in the court and the country. How can they kill them at will?"
"That's not called prestige, that's called forming cliques and private interests!" Fang Qingshu sneered: "When they are powerful, you two will be done! They will definitely undermine you, secretly kill you, and then treat the little prince as a puppet. At that time, you can't even cry!"
"This, no, right?" Princess Qingping said in confusion.
"Why can't it?" Fang Qingshu sneered: "They can even sell the country for their own interests, what else can they dare not do?"
"I don't believe it, why do you think this is the case?" Princess Qingping still shook her head stubbornly.
But at this moment, General Zhao, the leader of Princess Qingping's guard, suddenly broke in, even forgot about etiquette, and said to Princess Qingping in a hurry: "Your Highness, something is wrong!"
"Why are you panic?" Princess Qingping asked hurriedly.
"Lord Zuo Prime Minister wants to kill General Li, the head coach of Cuiping Mountain!" General Zhao said anxiously: "You go and have a look. If it is too late, I am afraid General Li will be in danger!"
"What!" Princess Qingping quickly stood up and walked out, and asked, "What is it for?"
"Lord Zuo Xiang sent a five thousand troops from behind, saying that there was no need to summon so many soldiers. He was a civil servant and could not control this matter at all. This was obviously a public intervention in military affairs! So General Li was furious after hearing the news and immediately went to find Lord Zuo Xiang to argue, and there was a collision between his words. Lord Zuo Xiang was angry and wanted to kill him!" General Zhao described the matter clearly in a few words.
"Damn it!" The prince immediately said furiously: "The order to summon the army was issued by my sister and I. What is his left minister? Why should I send the team away for me?"
"I understand!" Although Princess Qingping didn't say much, her expression on her face was extremely angry.
It was not long since time was right, Princess Qingping, Prince and Fang Qingshu came to the court of Cuiping Mountain Fortress. At this time, the water had receded, and only the tiny streams were still flowing. In front of the destroyed fortress, a large group of people were arguing fiercely.
There were at least tens of thousands of people in the crowd, and there was a tendency to gather continuously. The situation was at risk of losing control at any time. Fortunately, Princess Qingping was still very prestigious in the army because she participated in the last battle. So when the official shouted, "Princess Qingping and the prince arrived," the crowd quickly calmed down, and everyone bowed to the ground, calling for thousands of years.
Princess Qingping first called everyone up, then followed a path where the crowd moved apart to the center of the venue, and found a general tied to a wooden stake, which was the bloody battle between General Li, the head coach of Cuiping Mountain.
At this time, the general who was still fighting bloodily a few days ago was covered in dirt and had blood marks on his face whipped. He was in a mess. Princess Qingping felt heartbroken. She hurried over and loosened the general herself.
After General Li was released, he couldn't help crying and knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Highness, Princess, let's make the decision for the last general!"
"What's going on?" Princess Qingping asked angrily everyone present.
"Report to Your Highness Princess!" At this time, an old man in official uniform stood up and said in a humble manner: "Mr. Li insulted Shangguan. He even committed murder and was killed according to the law. Although the old minister didn't want this, the national laws were once again, and no one was exception!"
"Nonsense!" Princess Qingping said angrily: "Master Zuo, don't you know? General Li, as a border general, even if he committed a death sentence, he had to report to the court before he could be executed. Have you ever told me? What did I agree?"
"Your Highness, Princess!" The left prime minister said calmly: "According to the law of Zhongshan Kingdom, the princess has no right to interfere in politics. The prince has not ascended the throne yet, and he is still young, so it should be assisted by our old ministers. Therefore, if we agree with such national affairs, it can be implemented!"
"What?" Princess Qingping suddenly said furiously: "The father gave me the Emperor's Sword and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, and ordered me to be the princess of the regent. Can't I make the decision yet?"
"Your Highness, since it is the will of the late emperor, please present the imperial edict so that we can obey it!" Lord Zuo Xiang said calmly.
"You!" Princess Qingping was speechless. At that time, the situation was in crisis. How could the late emperor have the time to write an imperial edict? He had only had time to give the things to the guards and gave a few more words. Therefore, Princess Qingping had no imperial edict at all.
"If Your Highness the Princess has no imperial edict, then the old minister will have to doubt your identity as the princess in charge of the country!" Lord Zuo Xiang said with a slight pride.
"I will testify!" the prince suddenly shouted, "I heard my father's guard pass on the oral orders from my father, and asked my sister to be the princess of the governor!"
"Your Highness, you are still young. Maybe you have been deceived by someone or maybe you have heard it wrong. In short, you should not be careless about the matter of governing the country. We will not admit it without an imperial edict!" Lord Zuo Xiang said respectfully.
"Yes, there is no imperial edict in such a big deal, how can we admit it?"
"Of course there is no imperial edict. After all, the princess is a female and is not old. How can His Majesty trust her with confidence?"
"Yes, in my opinion, Your Majesty must have entrusted the important task of supervising the country to us ordinary old ministers!"
A group of civil servants behind Lord Zuo Xiang began to talk a lot, and they were extremely presumptuous, obviously not taking Princess Qingping seriously at all.
Princess Qingping was so angry that she trembled all over, but she couldn't do anything about them. In order to teach the princess a lesson, Fang Qingshu just hid aside and watched the fun and didn't show up at all.
"Hmph! Have you said enough nonsense?" At this moment, the Qing leader of the Royal Cultivation Group suddenly appeared beside Princess Qingping, and a cold snorted shocked all the civil servants.
"The late emperor once asked someone to count his fortune and knew that he was not old enough, so he had discussed with me the issue of heirs. He told me that the ministers in the court were selfish and cautious, and they would not do their best to assist the young master, and they would be suspicious of slaves to suppress the master. In contrast, he thought that Princess Qingping was more suitable for the candidate for the state. The princess was kind and not greedy for authority, and was smart, and would become grand in the future. From this great victory in Cuiping Mountain, it can be seen that the princess was indeed a talented and stubborn person!" The head of the Qingtuan said: "My Lord Zuo, with my identity, you wouldn't suspect that I was lying, right?"
"I dare not, I dare not!" Although Lord Zuo Gao said this, he suddenly said: "But the problem is that if the reputation is not right, the words are not right. Those are just what the late emperor said in private and cannot be taken seriously. Only the real imperial edict is the order. Without the imperial edict, we can only do it according to the laws of the country, and the ministers will exercise the power of supervising the country! Please forgive me, Chief Qing!"
"You!" The Qing Group Leader is an expert in cultivating and fighting, but when it comes to power struggles, he is naturally no match for professionals such as Zuo Xiang and will soon be defeated.
However, although he could not suppress Zuo Xianger in theory, he knew one thing very clearly, that is, the power to supervise the country must not be given to Zuo Xianger in theory, otherwise, Zhongshan would be beaten up in vain this time, and the soldiers would be sacrificed in vain, and even the prince and princess were in danger.
Just when the Qingtuan leader was anxious, he suddenly saw Fang Qingshu laughing aside. He immediately had an idea. Without saying a word, he pulled Fang Qingshu out and said, "You say it!"
"What did you say?" Fang Qingshu pretended to be stupid.
"Mr. Fang!" said the leader of the Qing League solemnly: "We invite you, you have to do things? Anyway, I will ask you for the problem this time!"
"No?" Fang Qingshu said with a smile: "My employer is Princess Qingping and the Prince! They didn't say anything!"
"Mr. Fang!" Princess Qingping said quickly: "The things now are beyond my ability. Please help me!"
"Are you sure?" Fang Qingshu said with a smile.
"Yes!" Princess Qingping nodded, then resolutely untied the emperor's golden sword on her waist and handed it to Fang Qingshu again, and said solemnly: "It's up to you to decide everything!"
"Okay!" Fang Qingshu was not polite, and took the golden sword casually and said with a smile: "This matter is not a matter at all. It's too simple, look at me!"
