Liu E has not been in good health recently.
In the final analysis, I am angry...
Lu Yijian's gang started making trouble again, using the case of the Cao family's extermination to lash out at the Queen Mother's party.
Especially Yang Huaimin was bombarded by the censors in turn.
Liu E had no choice but to transfer him out of the inner palace and demote him to Bingjingwu.
She wouldn't care about a eunuch's life or death, but this incident made her a little uncomfortable...
Those people didn't take the Queen Mother in power at all!
After the small court meeting, Liu E immediately summoned the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse... Otherwise, she felt that she would be pissed to death by these people if she didn't live to be sixty!
"Queen Mother."
The little waiter came in with broken steps.
"What's the matter?"
Liu E didn't look good.
The young chamberlain felt a little panicked, so he lowered his head and said, "To inform the Queen Mother, the Liao envoy Yelu Guangzhen is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Liu E frowned slightly: "Envoy of Liao? What is he doing here? The big court meeting has passed, and I have been clean for two days...I refused and disappeared."
The Liao people have been very arrogant recently.
Taking advantage of the fact that a man had just died, he wanted to take the opportunity to bully the orphan and widowed mother.
At the court meeting last month, he openly threatened him! Not only did the Song Dynasty be required to increase the annual coins, but they even had to set up additional wedding venues in Xiongzhou and other places.
If Liu E hadn't been so weak, the Liao people would have been very proud.
Therefore, she did not want to deal with these barbarians.
"But the Queen Mother..."
The young chamberlain hesitated: "The Liao envoy said that he came to ask you to administer justice!"
justice?
When did the Liao people need justice from the Song people?
Aren’t they themselves the most unfair?
Liu E gradually became serious: "What's going on?"
"This... this slave doesn't know."
The little chamberlain wondered: "It's just that the Liao envoy looked ugly and very irritable. He said that this matter is related to the peace between Song and Liao, and he must submit the petition in person to the Queen Mother! Otherwise..."
"How else?"
Liu E is beautiful and slightly voluptuous.
"The Liao envoy will return to Liao immediately and send a large army to conquer!"
Now Liu E can't see her anymore.
She was not worried that Liao would go to war, but she was worried that if the Liao mission really returned home, the Song Dynasty would be humiliated...
Throughout all the dynasties, have you ever seen an envoy from any country forced to pass by the country where the envoy was envoyed?
It's not a big deal, but it's disgusting.
Once it spreads to other countries, the Song Dynasty will lose its face.
…
Cheng'an Hall.
This is the place where emperors usually receive courtiers and foreign guests. In addition to major court meetings, general political receptions will be held here.
After the Liao envoy came in, his face was still gloomy.
"Foreign minister, I have met the Queen Mother of Song Dynasty!"
"The envoy of Liao is so anxious to see me. What's the matter?"
Liu E closed her eyes slightly and didn't even look at him.
"Yesterday evening, our deputy envoy to the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Suhe, was beaten to serious injuries for no reason and almost died! May I ask the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty, is this the attitude of the Song Dynasty towards foreign envoys?"
Yelu Guangzhen opened his mouth with questions, without any respect in his words.
But Liu E forgot to scold him for his arrogance and sat there in shock.
Were the Liao people beaten?
No one will notify you when it will happen!
"Since the Chanyuan Alliance, peace between the Song Dynasty and China has been going on for a long time. Does the Song Dynasty want to start a war again?"
Yelu Guangzhen ignored this and threatened: "If this is the case, the foreign minister will return home immediately! The rest of the matter will be revealed on the battlefield!"
Liu E ignored the nonsense and asked directly: "You mean... the deputy envoy of Liao was beaten? In Bianliang?"
Yelu Guangzhen was a little angry and said coldly: "In the Wanyue Tower in the outer city, the person who beat up was the owner of this brothel, named Cao An! When this happened, hundreds of people witnessed it with their own eyes! Could it be that foreign ministers would still Isn’t it possible to lie?”
Cao An?
Liu E stared, feeling wary for a moment.
She said no more, stood up and said: "I already know about this matter. As for how to judge, I will send someone to inform you later."
"What does the Queen Mother mean by this? Could it be..."
Yelu Guangzhen wanted to say something more, but Liu E didn't give him a chance and left directly.
…
Yanfu Palace.
As soon as Liu E entered the door, she immediately ordered: "Let Yin Wuyun come!"
The deputy envoy of the Liao Kingdom was beaten in Bianliang. This was already a big deal.
And among them... Cao An is actually involved!
Liu E subconsciously determined that there was definitely a conspiracy in this matter!
Later, Yin Wuyun floated in.
He still had that dead face, like an evil ghost from hell.
Before he could salute, Liu E said coldly: "Cao An beat the deputy envoy of Liao State, did you know?"
Yin Wuyun nodded: "I just learned that..."
"Why don't you watch it in advance!"
Liu E got angry and threw the teacup directly on Yin Wuyun.
The latter did not move, lowered his head and said: "I am guilty and I am willing to be punished!"
This matter seemed unfair, but he couldn't cry out.
Cao An is just a street kid, so the Imperial City Division will naturally not send people to guard him every day. Otherwise, there are so many gangsters in the world, and even if the Imperial City Division has 10,000 people, it won't be enough.
But now that the matter has been revealed, he has failed to supervise it well and has nothing to say.
"Have you investigated the ins and outs?"
Liu Ecai didn't bother to compete with him and went straight to the point: "Is there any love cons in this?"
"Last night after the Moon Tower..., Cao An beat up the deputy envoy of Liao. This matter is in full view of everyone and cannot be faked!"
Yin Wuyun's narrative is very detailed.
He just said that he did not deliberately monitor Cao An, but he was able to investigate the cause in the shortest possible time after the incident. This is enough to show his dedication and ability.
Liu E's expression softened: "That's all?"
Yin Wuyun would not say anything to death, he just said, "Based on the current situation... it is indeed true,"
Liu E relaxed and said calmly: "That rogue is probably sent by the opponent to cause trouble."
A queen of a generation, who has been in power for more than ten years and has dominated the ruling and opposition parties, naturally saw the clues at a glance.
"The Queen Mother is sage!"
Yin Wuyun still lowered his head.
Liu E frowned slightly again and said in confusion: "But he knew it, but why... let the Liao envoy beat him up? Isn't it just to relieve his worries?"
"According to witnesses, Cao An's original words were..."
Yin Wuyun paused for a moment, then continued: "The outer city is Cao An's territory. Even if the gangsters deserve to be beaten, it's him who should do it! It's not the Liao people's turn to take over!"
"Ah!"
Liu E sneered: "Is the outer city his territory?"
This kind of non-governmental organization usually uses some arrogant 'mantras', which is understandable... but once it takes action and goes online, it will die.
Yin Wuyun couldn't see Liu E's anger and joy, and continued: "Afterwards, Liu Weizhen from the Inspection Department arrived. He found someone to check the injury of the rogue, and took him back to Kaifeng Mansion for custody..."
"Are you trying to help Cao An escape guilt?"
Liu E said calmly: "However, if it can be proven that the Liao people acted first, it will save a lot of trouble."
It doesn't matter who is strong and who is weak, but at least on the surface, everyone still has to be 'reasonable'... Otherwise, who will dare to get close to you in the future?
"After the stay here, someone saw Fan Zhongyan going to Wanyue Tower overnight."
Yin Wuyun did not express any opinions, but just told the situation exactly as it was.
After Liu E thought for a moment, she ordered: "Call the prime ministers and assistants to discuss the matter, and ask Fan Zhongyan to come too."
