The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

As the Minister of Rites, Li Yunli was the top person in charge of entertaining the Huns’ envoys. Although the Ministry of Rites was not a real power department, it was responsible for many things. In addition to presiding over drafts, clan weddings, birthdays, funerals and other matters, it also Also responsible for receiving envoys.

After the Xiongnu envoys arrived in the capital, they were arranged by the Ministry of Rites to live in a courtyard specially designed to entertain envoys. The Ministry of Rites had someone to entertain them. The treatment was not so good that they were treated as ancestors, but it was not humiliating them.

The Daning Dynasty was powerful and treated foreigners with great grace. It could be said that it had the bearing of a great nation. At this time, Li Yunli talked about the Xiongnu envoys in a calm tone: "This time among the Xiongnu envoys, they are the most powerful. Headed by the little prince, there are also nearly a hundred prairie knights accompanying him. "

Emperor Ning Cheng frowned slightly, raised his slender index finger and knocked on the table, and asked in a deep voice: "There is only a young prince leading the team? This time, even the wise kings of the Xiongnu envoys did not come? Nagu Where is King Li and Captain?”

After Emperor Ning Cheng's reminder, Li Yunli couldn't help but was slightly startled. Then he realized that the standards of the Xiongnu envoys this time seemed to be quite low. Not to mention the two people with high status in the Xiongnu mentioned by Emperor Ning Cheng, even the big ones with different surnames. There is no one in charge of the household and no one in the Gudu.

Although there is a little prince leading the team, who doesn't know that the folk customs of the Xiongnu people are not yet civilized, who knows how many sons the Xiongnu Chanyu has, and who knows whether this little prince is the descendant of that Chanyu.

Seeing the horror on Li Yunli's face, he knew that he had never studied this matter before. Emperor Ning Cheng waved his hand to signal him to retreat, then called the commander of the Imperial Guard to step forward and asked lightly: "Have you sent anyone to keep an eye on it?" Huns envoy?"

The commander of the imperial guard shook his head with shame, lowered his head and replied in a low tone: "When I reply to your majesty, it is because I was negligent and did not specially invite the Hun envoy and his party."

The Daning Dynasty and the Huns have not been at war for a long time and have coexisted peacefully for more than ten years. It cannot be blamed that the Xiongnu envoys came to Beijing this time and the commander of the Imperial Guard did not pay attention to it. After all, the Xiongnu and Daning did not seem to have any plans to go to war in a short period of time. .

His brows furrowed deeply, and Emperor Ning Cheng's handsome face could not help but be stained with anger and irritation. It was obvious that this lack of knowledge made him dissatisfied with both Li Yunli and the commander of the Imperial Guard.

But he also knew that the two of them could not be blamed for this matter. If Xuanyuan hadn't reminded him, wouldn't he have not been wary of the Huns' envoys? It is normal for Li Yunli and the commander of the Imperial Guard to be negligent.

Because of this, although Emperor Ning Cheng was very angry, he did not get angry at these two people. He just pinched his brows with his long fingers slightly tiredly, and then motioned for the two of them to retreat: "You two, go down, remember. Keep an eye on these Huns envoys when you return."

Emperor Ning Cheng raised his head and looked at the two of them, with a hint of coldness and sharpness in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said coldly: "There are only a few days left for the banquet to entertain the envoys from various countries. Nothing is allowed. Wrong! Not only the Xiongnu envoys, but also the envoys from Loulan, Wusun, Tubo and other vassal states should be watching."

Li Yunli, the Minister of Rites, and the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard were all trembling. They bowed and bowed without hesitation, and said loudly: "I accept the order and will definitely handle this matter well and live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

They were relieved that they were not punished, but at the same time, they felt that there was nothing they could do about it, so they sounded really firm when they made their promise, and they had already made up their minds to take care of it after leaving the palace. If this matter is handled well, Your Majesty cannot be disappointed.

After the two men retreated, Emperor Ning Cheng frowned slightly, still feeling a little uneasy, so he raised his index finger and tapped on the royal table. The crisp sound sounded with a certain pattern, three long and one short, two light and three heavy.

As soon as the crisp knocking stopped, a flash of light flashed across Emperor Ning Cheng's eyes, and he ordered without raising his head: "Send two people to keep an eye on the Xiongnu envoys secretly. Don't let anyone discover them. Keep an eye on them. If anything goes wrong, report them immediately." Send the news back."

In the huge imperial study room, all the palace maids and eunuchs stood solemnly and quietly without making any sound. They lowered their heads, closed their eyelids tightly, and their eyes only fell on the ground between their feet. Any wandering eyes.

They knew who Emperor Ning Cheng was ordering, but they absolutely didn't dare to look up, let alone say anything. They could only act like this and remain silent, carefully showing that they didn't know anything and didn't want to know. Come.

As soon as Emperor Ning Cheng finished speaking, a shadow seemed to pass by in the spacious and gorgeous, but extremely silent study. Except for a seemingly nonexistent breeze, it seemed that it did not cause any movement.

"Go and submit the Xu family's files." After Emperor Ning Cheng explained the matter regarding the Huns envoys, he finally felt a little at ease and gave another order.

Although Xuanyuan told him the truth directly and confessed to him, the emperor's suspicion made Emperor Ning Cheng not believe him easily. After leaving Yimeixuan, he immediately ordered people to collect information about the Xu family. .

Li Dezhong lowered his head and responded, then took two steps back and personally fetched the Xu family's file from the file room. Because he believed that Xu Gengyi had not completely collapsed, Li Dezhong was very cautious about questions about Xu Gengyi.

"Your Majesty, this is the file of the Xu family." Li Dezhong held a file in both hands and walked back to Emperor Ning Cheng. He bowed, lowered his head, and answered with a very respectful tone, without any ill will towards the Xu family. , not to mention the act of applying eye drops.

Although in the past month at Yimeixuan, both the master and the maids (especially Bai Zhi Zi Su) had been somewhat neglectful of him, and there was no favor from other concubines in the palace, Li Dezhong did not dare to be dissatisfied.

People treat His Majesty with that attitude. The most important thing is that His Majesty is not disgusted. How can Li Dezhong be dissatisfied with such an existence? Even though the painting style of Yimei Xuan doesn't quite match the entire harem, he is still favored!

So it’s not actually Yimei Xuan’s painting style that’s wrong, but the other concubines in the harem’s painting style that’s wrong? This idea flashed through Li Dezhong's mind in a daze, but he did not dare to think about it deeply.

After receiving the file, Emperor Ning Cheng read it carefully. He glanced at how Xu Bing worked hard for the imperial examination and finally entered the court as an official. What he mainly wanted to see was the situation of the Xu family in the past two months - he wanted to see See if things are really as Xu Qingning reported.

"Humph!" When he was halfway through the file, Emperor Ning Cheng showed a bit of anger on his face. He snorted and pushed the tea cup on the imperial table, slamming it heavily on the ground, making a clear and harsh sound. Come on, the cold tea splashed all over the floor.

The veins in the slender hand holding the file were bulging out because of too much force. Emperor Ning Cheng's face was filled with anger and he said coldly: "Okay, what a man who would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. He has such backbone! Entering the palace. As a concubine, I have wronged you!"

After reading the records of Xu Qingtian's escape from home, Emperor Ning Cheng sneered again and again. He was indeed a brainless person who could do such a thing. When he saw the records of Xu's mother's haze, deceit and even forcing Xu Qingning to enter the palace, he became even more angry.

I didn’t bully successful people, but I was bullied by you! Moreover, the culprits who have made me suffer this month (?) turned out to be these two stupid women. Huh, Xu Bing can't even take care of his wife and daughter, how can he be in charge of the household department?

As the supreme emperor, being so disliked by a daughter of a small official family really made Emperor Ning Cheng feel murderous in his heart. However, when he thought of Xu Qingning, the murderous intention was dispelled——

Although Xu Qingtian and Xu's mother are really stupid, it seems a little too ruthless to vent their anger on the entire Xu family. After all, it is Xu Qingtian and Xu's mother who are willful. At most, Xu Bing is lax in raising his daughter, not intentionally deceiving the emperor. The rest of the Xu family are even more innocent.

What's more, after Xu Bing learned about this, he left and sent people to hunt Xu Qingtian, and sent Xu's mother to the temple on the mountain. It was obvious that she was afraid, but it was not like the two idiots Xu Qingtian and Xu's mother were self-righteous.

So, is it too ruthless to destroy the entire Xu family? Emperor Ning Cheng was a little hesitant and hesitant.

Well, the emperor was so angry that he floated thousands of miles away. Emperor Ning Cheng actually didn't feel that he was ruthless in destroying the entire Shen family, but because of the high favorability and trust in his heart, he really didn't want to kill Xu Qingning.

Forget it, why not just kill the first culprit as Xu Qingning said when he told the truth. As for Xu Bing... Emperor Ning Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he was not sincere to deceive the emperor, he was not strict with his goddaughter. , and also helped conceal it afterwards, which was a big mistake.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance can no longer sit down. Just demote his official position and let him go back to his hometown. Wherever he came from, he will return to where he came from.

As for Xu Qingtian and Xu's mother... Emperor Ning Cheng had a look of disgust in his eyes. Xu Bing was already about to attack Xu's mother, so he would not interfere. But Xu Qingtian, who had just been caught and was about to be sent back, must not be spared! If you don't let her know your regret, then it's not over.

Oh, who dares to say such outrageous words and look down on me? He doesn't even look at who he is, what kind of capital and confidence he has, it's obvious that he is a brainless person.

Xu Qingtian is so brainless. I don't know if it is because her spiritual energy was absorbed by her egg-born brother Xu Qingning in the womb. That's why Xu Qingning is so smart, but Xu Qingtian seems to have grown some organ.

Emperor Ning Cheng sneered in his heart and planned to teach Xu Qingtian a profound "lesson" to let her know that sometimes, death is also a happy thing.

"Stop at Yimeixuan." Emperor Ning Cheng waved his hand and ordered, intending to go to Yimeixuan to talk to Xu Qingning again and ask him how he knew there was something wrong with the Huns envoy.
