406 Qingjian
"Kill people, raid homes, destroy doors!"
Yin Zuoxiang's lips slowly activated, and these words were like bloody knives, cutting through the air one by one.
The air freezes like a suffocation.
Yin Zuoxiang's voice was cold: "Bai Feng dares to kill the emperor, his anti-heart is obvious, and he can't stay in the world for a moment longer, so please ask Your Majesty to order the Bai family to be beheaded!"
The Emperor gasped.
But the look on the old face of Yin Zuoxiang was Ling Ran, and he looked like he was going to give advice to the people for the sake of the country's righteousness.
"Just cut him off for one arm, isn't it a bit too much?" the emperor hesitated.
Yin Zuoxiang kowtowed again: "Your Majesty allows the ministers to distinguish." Although Bai Feng has been retired for many years, on the surface, he has never broken off contact with the old department, they not only secretly communicate with the song, but also plan to make a comeback, the minister is worried that we have been raising tigers for many years, and it is not too early to start, and when he successfully gathers the old department, he responds to the call and raises the flag to rebel, and it is too late to do so. The old minister was still worried, if he had any collusion with Moro and other countries in the dark, the entire Dongliang Kingdom would be in danger at that time. ”
The hourglass kept leaking on the desk.
Yuan Lingyun looked at Qing Shui in a trance.
The emperor hesitated.
But Liu Yuma, who was kneeling on the ground, was frightened, and looked up at the emperor carefully, with a little hesitation in his expression, " Your Majesty, Bai Feng is not honest because the minister has seen it with his own eyes, seeing that the people around him are very powerful, and the guards raised by ordinary people are far from being of such a high level, so Zuo Xiang said that he may gather the old ministry to rebel, and the minister does not deny that there is that possibility, but what is this secret communication with foreign countries and endangers the whole country, the minister thinks it is still a bit exaggerated, after all, he is a person who has made military achievements for my dynasty, and he was dedicated to the country back then, and everyone in the world has seen this loyalty——"
"It's not what it used to be—" Yin Xiangguo hurriedly interrupted Liu Juma's questioning.
Zhengxi looked at Liu Yuma, then at Yin Xiangguo, and finally turned his gaze to Yuan Lingyun, "Right Xiang, aren't you going to say something? Haven't you been looking at Bai Feng's old man openly and secretly all these years? You have nothing to say at this critical moment?"
Yin Zuoxiang sneered: "He naturally has nothing to say when something like this happens! The matter is clear, the evidence is ironclad, no matter how clever he is, I don't believe that he can erase the fact that Bai Feng tore up the holy decree and slashed the emperor?"
Yuan Lingyun slowly stretched out his hand, holding the piece of clear water with both hands, and smiled: "Your Majesty, what do you guess the old minister saw in the water?"
The emperor was drawn by his focused and leisurely expression, and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you looking at?"
Yuan Lingyun shook his head, "I saw a pool of clear water. ”
Yin Zuoxiang rolled his eyes angrily, and said in his heart that this old guy has started to play tricks again, I think you can make up any reason to shake the emperor's mind today? I don't believe that my heart-piercing words are not enough to make the emperor murderous, and he is determined to destroy the man surnamed Bai?
"You're really not going to say something for Bai Feng?" the emperor asked along the original topic.
Yuan Lingyun shook his head, "No." Because the minister is old. Mentally exhausted and confused, the old minister was afraid that he would say a word inappropriately, kill good people in vain, and cause evil to innocent people who died unjustly, and even cause losses to the safety of the people of our Dongliang country. Therefore, after drinking this cup of water, the old minister begged His Majesty to let the old minister tell the old man to return to his hometown, a person who is almost eighty years old has long become a dead grass and rotten wood, neither can he speak skillfully, nor can he observe words and feelings, let alone form a gang, it is really useless to the country, and he is still trembling. So don't occupy this high position and waste the country's food in vain. ”
"Do you want to pick a son for me?" the emperor frowned, "At this critical juncture when external and internal troubles are being attacked from several sides, you, as an experienced minister full of wisdom, don't think about how to serve the country and share my worries, so you want to pick a son for me?"
Yuan Lingyun didn't speak, raised the porcelain cup in his hand, and an old face of vicissitudes was reflected in the clear water.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing clearer in the world than the water in the lamp, you look at this clear water, even every wrinkle on the old minister's face is clearly reflected. The minister is indeed old, when he followed the first emperor to create the world, the minister was a minister, a pen and a piece of paper, how many documents and letters were drafted and transcribed for the first emperor, Bai Feng is a military general, and the minister is as young and vigorous as the young and promising, but we have never drunk together, and there is no deeper friendship, there is a difference between civil and military, each goes its own way, our life and ambitions for officials are not the same, will not become irreversible friends, and never colluded with embarrassment, the minister watched him go all the way from a hairy young man to the general, Generalissimo, if you go to this day, you will be a ghost under the sword of Your Majesty. The minister is not sad, there is no rabbit dead fox sorrow, and there is sympathy for the same fate. The minister just regretted. For Your Majesty, and for the people of Dongliang Li, at this critical moment when the army is pressing the domestic and foreign troubles, my Dongliang Kingdom is the first to take its own general, such a thing must be what Moro, Donghan and other invading countries are looking forward to with a smile.
Also, in order to avoid suspicion over the years, I didn't persuade you when he resigned, and the armor soldiers he left behind were subjected to all kinds of bullying and insults in various military camps, and some people asked me for help, and I suppressed them all. There were also some of his subordinates who tried to get through to me and establish contact with him, but none of them agreed. It's not how innocent the old minister is, the old minister just thinks that since he wants such quiet, just as he wishes, let him be peaceful, live in seclusion in the countryside, and spend his old age in peace, which can be regarded as the faintest bit of mercy and understanding from the high heaven and earth of Dongliang to a military general who has made military achievements in his career.
Today's matter, His Majesty doesn't want to investigate the truth of Qu Zhi, and the old minister doesn't have the heart to ask about it. But Lao Chen has always believed that everything in this world is done by people, the sky is watching, the sky is bright, and justice is in people's hearts. Therefore, the old minister drank this cup of water today, one showed that the old minister's heart was as clear as water, and the other wished me that the Dongliang Society was as stable as water and continued to flow forward. May Your Majesty be forever strong and in good health. Old minister, it can be regarded as a suggestion with this sip of clear water. ”
After speaking, he got up, held up the porcelain cup with both hands, drank respectfully, and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking, he didn't linger anymore, turned around and left.
The wide sleeves are fluttering, and the white beard is flying, and he really doesn't have to defend more than half a sentence.
"Wait—" Emperor Zhengxi shouted, got up, strode off his seat, and personally rushed up to support Yuan Lingyun.
"Old fox - clever words bewitch the king's heart!" Yin Zuoxiang scolded quietly.
"Qing Shui is an admonition-Qing Shui is a lesson - fairness and fairness, old Aiqing, you are really a person who wakes up in a dream, if it weren't for you, I would have almost made a big mistake today." ”
Seeing that he shook his three-inch tongue and finally created a good situation, the situation was completely reversed by this old guy's words, and Yin Zuoxiang was so angry that his nose was completely tilted to the side.
"When the country is employing people, Old General Bai Feng really can't kill him—but, he's really gone too far this time, and there's no place for my face—how can he tear up the holy decree in public and cut off the imperial mission I sent out?"
Yuan Lingyun secretly exhaled, it was so dangerous, he was caught off guard by this kind of incident, if he hadn't dealt with it calmly, he would have almost been killed by the treacherous and cunning Yin Zuoxiang.
But when it comes to the Bai family, he is really angry, "The old minister is also very angry with Bai Feng, he is really getting older and more ignorant, so let's do it, his death penalty is forgivable, and the living crime still has to be investigated, and when he returns from the victory, Your Majesty, you will personally punish him with wine, three cups, oh no, ten cups, drink him to death Xiao Lao'er!"
What kind of punishment is this?
Angry, Yin Zuoxiang gritted his teeth.
The emperor muttered: "It seems that when he was allowed to resign and hang up the handsome seal, he still had a grudge against me. If I don't invite him two or three times, he will really continue to be tense with me—since it is the time to hire people, then I will give up some face and invite him again, but now, who will I send to invite him for the third time?" the emperor was worried.
