405 Shocked
The horse's hooves shook the sky, and the clatter crossed the streets, running all the way from Kyoto South Street to the Ouchi Imperial Palace in the north.
Pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, but they saw a group of one or twenty people, riding on a tall horse, whipping up their horses, and galloping away in front of them.
"Is there another war? so urgent?"
"Look at that outfit is a messenger in the capital of the Great Interior, who knows, the affairs of the official family, we little people will never be able to guess it——"
One by one, the people looked at the dust and sighed, and then what should they do.
The light horse ran all the way to the palace with dust and smoke, and then dismounted and walked until the palace gate, Liu Juma took the lead, and stumbled behind several chamberlains sent by the emperor, and more than a dozen guards, carrying a crumbling maid to the emperor's palace.
"It's back—it's back—" The chamberlain ran as he rushed to deliver the message.
Emperor Zhengxi was eating a bowl of snacks, and when he heard that Liu Fuma was back, he glanced at the waiter who reported the news, his expression was a little displeased, and he put down the small porcelain bowl, "Come back when you come back, what are you panicking about?
The little chamberlain who took the lead knelt down. Several people knelt down in unison.
"What the hell is the situation? What are you doing here?" the emperor calmed down, "It's a big deal that there are two situations, one is that no one was invited, and he came back empty-handed, this is what I expected, and the old guy from Bai Feng wants to continue to play with me—the other is that the old guy from Bai Feng can't bear the loneliness, and he comes with the fart—is there a third situation?"
The chamberlain stammered: "Mei-mei-"
The emperor smiled: "No, I already knew, there would be no third situation-the whole world is not the king's land, and the old man of Baifeng is not crazy, and in my Dongliang land, no one can turn out the palm of my hand——"
The waiter's tongue finally slipped out: "Brother Mei is back, and his arms and arms are gone—bloody—chopped off—"
The emperor was a little surprised, but he was still calm, and instead smiled: "When you go to Qingzhou Mansion, you leave your arm to others? What you leave is still left by others? Who is so small-eyed in Qingzhou Mansion, even the arm of one of my chamberlains?"
He laughed at himself so much, but his face had turned the color of pig's liver.
He is the emperor, the Son of Heaven above ten thousand people, he is not stupid, he is even smarter than ordinary people, he has already guessed what is going on.
But he didn't want to admit it, he didn't want to admit it, and he couldn't admit it quickly that it was true.
The messenger he had sent had gone with the decree of the royal pen himself, and it was the second time he had gone, and a dignified horse led the way had thrown his arm on someone's territory. What did the deceased think of this incident? There was an uproar? It must be an uproar in the world!
"Bang-bang-" The porcelain bowl in his hand flew out with half a bowl of carefully boiled porridge made of chestnut rice.
Bleeding glazed porcelain bowl crushed. Rice porridge turns into a little butterfly.
The chamberlains and palace maids knelt on the ground.
Someone sent a message at the door: "Yin Zuoxiang asks to see——"
Like a knife piercing Emperor Zhengxi's heart, he waved his hand and jumped violently: "No! no—I'm not in the mood to see—"
Another voice stretched out and shouted at the door: "Yuan Youxiang urgently asks to see——"
What are you doing here, one by one, without giving me a little time to think about it? Is this a joke about rushing to see me?
"No—no—tell them all to go back—see you tomorrow—" He simply sprinkled like a woman, waving his wide sleeves and getting angry.
"Liu Juma has arrived—"
Liu Juma must be seen.
"Let them all in—" The Emperor could only stubbornly accept the coming situation.
Yin Zuoxiang came in first. Stand on the left.
Yuan Youxiang stepped into the wide and high jade threshold with his old trembling legs, and there was already an inner servant moving an embroidered pier, Yuan Youxiang did not shirk, and sat tremblingly.
Liu Juma came in and knelt on the ground, knelt for a long time, kowtowed, and slowly raised his head, his face was irrepressible anger, "Your Majesty, what a shame wow-"
There was silence in the Qinzheng Palace, and the palace maids had already withdrawn from the door.
The emperor smiled: "Didn't you just lose an arm, why are you making such a fuss? Besides, if you lose one, won't there be another one? In the future, Mei Nei will not have to work, and I will support him for the rest of my life. ”
Everyone could hear how fake the emperor's voice was, he was trying his best to suppress the shock and anger in his heart, and he was pretending that nothing was right.
Liu Juma cried: "Not only did he break one of Mei Nei's arms, but he also tore up the holy decree and besieged us, if it weren't for the arrival of the governor of Qingzhou Mansion with troops, the minister's life would definitely be lost in the Bai family's compound." ”
The smile on the emperor's face stiffened, and it dried on his face like a freeze.
"Bai Feng is bold—too bold, really lawless—" Yin Zuoxiang interjected.
No one talked.
Yin Zuoxiang was not embarrassed at all, and continued to dig a pit: "We really underestimate the surname Bai - this time his true face is finally revealed, right? This tears up the holy decree, disrespects His Majesty, cuts the tolerance of the Qin faction, disrespects the imperial power, and is even more contemptuous of the imperial court for the entire Dongliang Kingdom!"
"Enough!" cried the Emperor.
Frightened, Liu Juma trembled.
Yin Zuoxiang didn't say anything, and looked down at his feet.
Only Yuan Youxiang remained unmoved.
After a long time, the emperor raised his head and looked at Yuan Youxiang, "Did you hear this time? What else is there to say? Old Marshal Bai, whom you have always strongly recommended to maintain, is now openly challenging my imperial power, and you still dare to say that he has no objection? How can I rest assured that hundreds of thousands of military power will be handed over to him and he will be in charge alone?"
A sneer, like ice lines, burst at the corners of Yin Zuoxiang's mouth.
Liu Juma looked angry, this trip to Qingzhou Mansion, he originally thought that it would be easy and happy, but he didn't expect to experience such a bloody scene, one arm was bloody and fell to the ground in front of him, and along the way, he heard the mane in his ear and howled like a pig, he was shocked, frightened and angry, he had no grievances with the Bai family, and this could be regarded as a big feud.
Yuan Youxiang looked left and right, and his voice was dry: "Your Majesty, the old minister is thirsty, and he has the courage to ask His Majesty for a glass of water to moisten his mouthpiece." ”
He didn't rush to defend the Bai family.
Everyone was surprised.
The emperor nodded, and an attendant sent a cup of clear water.
Yuan Youxiang connected to the clear water but did not drink it, looking at the water.
Yin Zuoxiang wanted to seize the opportunity to push the emperor's anger to the peak while the iron was hot, so he didn't have the heart to accompany Yuan Youxiang's old guy to see what Qing Shui was playing and what belly lawsuit, he directly cut to the topic: "Emperor, according to the old minister's humble opinion, this Bai family really can't stay anymore." As soon as Zhao Sihu didn't invite him before, it already indicated that this person was very dissatisfied with the emperor's imperial power in Dongliang Kingdom to the imperial court, this time it was the master of the horse who went to invite him personally, and it was the emperor You preferred the most important Liu Yuma, and it also carried the holy decree, which was the same as you personally went to ask for it, this is enough to give him the face of the surname Bai, this face is really bigger than big on the head of ordinary people, and it is a matter of green smoke in the ancestral tomb- But the surnamed Bai actually dared to tear up the holy decree, hurt the Qin Cha, and frightened the horse, this frightened person is not just a little Mei Nei servant, not only the horse master, but the emperor in the face!"
He simply knelt down, "The old minister begs His Majesty to give an order!"
"What's the purpose?" the emperor reacted quickly, following his rhythm and asking.
