Chapter 253: Pleading for a Decision
Because Qi Shiwei is Lu Shui's close friend, and he also has a different friendship with today's saints, in addition to those older generals, the housekeeper also ordered the little servant to go to Qi's mansion and be sure to tell Qi Shiwei himself.
The little guy immediately left the house, because the two houses were not far apart, only a few streets apart, and they ran to it after a while. The little guy caught up with the stepping stone in front of the mansion and accidentally fell. When the man in front of the door saw it, one of them came running, helped him up, and said with a smile: "What are you doing here?
The little guy got up, and he didn't have time to say thank you, so he only asked: Can your adults be in the house?
Seeing this, the man replied: Because of the early dynasty, my family just left in a sedan chair.
After hearing this, the little guy turned around and ran. The man said "Alas!", saw the people running away, turned around and came back and told the other people the reason, and couldn't help but laugh: Look at him like that, chaos like that, if his master knows about it, he will not be punished!
After speaking, several people laughed out loud when they heard it.
Look at the little guy again, although he is a little reckless, his legs and feet are neat, and he never slacks off in what he has explained. I saw him run with his legs raised, and chased him down the avenue. Seeing that there was a palace gate in front of him, and there were several sedan chairs parked there not far away, the little maid immediately stepped forward to take a look.
Coincidentally, one of the people who stepped down from the sedan chair was Qi Shiwei. When the little guy saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, I am the little guy of the Lu Mansion, and I have something to pass on to you, my lord."
Qi Shiwei looked at the little guy in front of him, and when he saw that he was out of breath, he chased after him, so he asked: What are the words?
The servant replied, "My lord was killed."
Qi Shiwei listened and froze in place. Several other adults who walked down the sedan chair had already walked to the palace gate in twos and threes, leaving only Qi Shiwei alone, fortunately far away from the sedan chair of other adults, and was not afraid of being heard by the people who were guarding the sedan chair and waiting for the master.
As soon as Qi Shiwei came back to his senses, he asked: When did it happen?
The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while: I saw the master yesterday.
After listening to the words, Qi Shiwei nodded and said: Okay, the official knows.
The little servant nodded and said, "The slave went back."
Seeing that the little guy turned around and ran away, Qi Shiwei also walked quickly towards the palace gate.
After the morning court, the hundred officials dispersed.
Qi Shiwei asked a father-in-law and asked him to lead him to the Qianqing Palace. When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, after whispering to the little eunuch guarding the door, the father-in-law turned around and waved his hand to invite him over.
Qi Shiwei thanked him. The father-in-law bowed slightly and turned away. Looking at the little eunuch again, after Qi Shiwei approached, he said: Please wait here for a while, and the slave will report first.
Qi Shiwei replied: There is Father-in-law Lao.
After the little eunuch entered the palace, he came out after a while, and said to him with a smile: Lord Qi has been waiting for a long time, the emperor is waiting for you in the imperial study, please go in quickly.
Qi Shiwei listened and said: Thank you, father-in-law.
As he spoke, he stepped into the hall and headed for the imperial study.
The door to the study was not closed. Qi Shiwei stood outside the door and said, "The lower official has something to report."
A voice came from inside: Come in.
After speaking, Qi Shiwei walked in from outside the house. Yu Xuan heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and looked up to see that it was Qi Shiwei, who first smiled, and then asked: What is the report?
Qi Shiwei was asked like this before he had time to salute, but he still saluted before replying: Your Majesty, something happened to the Lu Mansion. Prime Minister Lu was killed.
This sounds terrifying. Yu Xuan couldn't help asking: Is this really true?
Qi Shiwei replied: It's the little servant of the Lu Mansion, and you can tell me before entering the palace this morning. There should be no mistake in the rhetoric.
After listening to the words, Yu Xuan remembered that Lu Mansion had been assassinated two months ago, and it was no big problem at that time, and then he sent the Imperial Forest Army in the palace to Lu Mansion to guard day and night, but he didn't expect that he would still be succeeded by gangsters today. It is really regrettable to think that Marshal Lu is not only the prime minister of a country, but also the marshal who commands thousands of troops and horses, and the most important minister in the Xifeng Dynasty.
Yu Xuan muttered and asked, "Who killed it?"
Seeing this, Qi Shiwei said: At this time, no matter who killed Prime Minister Lu Cheng, the most important thing is that the emperor has issued a holy decree, and Prime Minister Lu Cheng has full authority to dispatch soldiers and horses and six personnel to plan for the border war. Now Prime Minister Lu Cheng is dead, and the border war is urgent, and no one can plan. Therefore, please also ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible and choose a suitable person.
Yu Xuan looked at him and asked, "Who do you think is suitable?"
Qi Shiwei arched his hand and said: Weichen doesn't know. But there can be no delay.
Yu Xuan nodded and said, "This matter is indeed not trivial, I have written it down."
When Qi Shiwei heard this, he said: That Weichen retired first.
Qi Shiwei retreated. Until lunchtime.
Calculate the time, the round table in the side room of the Luanjiao Hall has been placed on the fresh dishes, and the master likes to eat a few things every day. Dye Zhi also helped set the bowl on the side, while Qi Xuan stayed by Qingqing's side.
At this moment, the two of them had just used some tea and snacks, and they were sitting and talking on the kang mat by the window in the side room.
I saw Du Youlan holding a piece of pastry in her hand, and after taking a bite, she said: This snack is really good!
Qingqing smiled and said: If it's good, eat more, if it's not enough, I'll let the small kitchen prepare more, so that you can take it back.
Du Youlan listened, laughed, and said: This is the best, and it saves me from remembering this snack when I go back, and I come to eat it again.
Qingqing said: I always come.
Du Youlan put down her snack, took a sip of tea, and glanced at the round table over there, which was already covered with vegetables. So, I heard her say: Okay, I'll listen to my sister's frequent coming. Seeing that it was lunch time, my sister went back first.
As he spoke, he was about to get up. At this time, Qingqing said: Sister should sit down.
Hearing this, Du Youlan stopped and looked.
Qingqing said: I went back to eat more than once, and I used it here today. It's not too late to go back after you've finished eating.
When Du Youlan heard this, she was overjoyed, and she didn't make a sound on her face, but said: Since this is the case, my sister will listen to my sister's words.
Ren Qingqing smiled and pulled her back down.
Today is according to the time of the past, usually within a moment, the emperor will enter the Luanjiao Palace, but today is a long time late, and Qi Xuan asked Sanren at that moment.
Sanren was stopped by Qi Xuan, so he had to reply: Today is still the emperor I reminded, otherwise it will come later.
Qi Xuan was puzzled and asked: What do you say?
Sanren looked around and said in a low voice: Now that government affairs are busy and the war is raging again, it is not uncommon for the emperor to forget to come over for dinner for a while. If you don't come in the future, you don't have to feel weird.
Qi Xuan still wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Sanren: Okay, I still have something to do, you can also be busy.
With that, he walked away. Qi Xuan stood in place and thought for a long time and didn't understand Sanren's words.
