Chapter 885: Cutting Meat (3)
Cheeky!
Shameless!
As a Son of Heaven, how can he do such a thing?
King Wei's blood surged, a mature and handsome face surging with dark red, and the fire of anger burned under his eyes. subconsciously clenched Xiao Xu's palm, and the back of his hand was full of green tendons, which showed the great strength.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is so righteous that he is really a model of a vassal king. Hubu Shangshu stepped forward with a grateful and moved face, and arched his hand: "With the generosity of His Royal Highness King Han and His Royal Highness King Wei, the embarrassment of Hubu has finally been solved. ”
Elder Fu Ge also praised: "The first emperor has knowledge underground, and he must be very relieved." ”
Emperor ......
These two words, like a basin of cold water, instantly woke up the angry King Wei.
Yes, Emperor Yuanyou has died, and Daqin is now Xiao Xu's world. He is Xiao Xu's imperial uncle, but he is also a vassal king who submits to the Son of Heaven. How can the qualifications be compared with the Son of Heaven?
Even if Xiao Xu made it clear that he wanted him to cut the meat, he had to put on a smile and willingly let it be slaughtered. This is the power of the Son of Heaven!
Not convinced?
Bear with it!
If you want to resist, unless you are like King Qi......
King Wei slowly let go of his hand.
The ministers who had been worried about the King of Wei turning their faces on the spot quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart of the prince of Wei in his throat slowly fell back to his original position.
The most calm, but the new emperor Xiao Xu.
He didn't look at his left hand, which was almost strangled out, and said with a calm smile: "Is the Fourth Emperor Uncle too eager to inform the ministers of this matter in advance? It should have been the Fourth Emperor Uncle who opened his mouth himself. ”
King Wei even laughed as if his face had changed: "A little thing, why worry about it." I am the son of the Xiao family, and I should contribute to the world of the Xiao family. The emperor is so excited, it makes me ashamed. ”
Turning his head to the prince of Wei, he said, "Ah Rin, I will be a vassal soon." In the future, if you stay in the capital, you must do your best to be on an errand and assist the emperor wholeheartedly. ”
The prince of Wei should be handed over.
It is worthy of a cunning old fox! Seeing that it is inevitable to be cut off the flesh, he simply makes a request.
Since the prince of Wei is allowed to assist the new emperor wholeheartedly, the new emperor must give the prince of Wei a formal position.
Xiao Xu is not a stingy person, and after a little thought, he smiled and said: "Since I was a child, I have eaten and lived with my two cousins, and grew up together. The temperament of the two of them, I know best. I had a plan, too. Cousin Lie has an upright temperament, and it is most suitable to go to the Criminal Department. Cousin Rin is careful and meticulous, so let's go into the household department on an errand!"
Among the six departments, the Ministry of Officials is the first, followed by the Ministry of Rites and Households, the Ministry of Soldiers, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry last.
It is also a good errand to be able to go into the household as an errand and exercise. It's better than going to the Criminal Department.
The pain of King Wei's flesh being cut was slightly alleviated, and he led the prince of Wei to thank him for his grace.
……
King Han took Concubine Dou Shu back to King Han's mansion. Not long after arriving in the palace, he heard the news that King Wei had entered the palace. Knowing that King Wei had two more years of taxes than himself, King Han suddenly felt balanced in his heart.
Well, he's not the only one who is unlucky.
The prince of Han Wang was a little unhappy, and came to King Han with a gloomy face: "Father, the lobby brother is too partial. Let Cousin Rin enter the household department, but let me go to the criminal department! Where can I compare to Cousin Rin?"
King Han glared at him and counted unceremoniously: "The household department is in charge of the Great Qin money and grain tax, you have a violent temperament and are impulsive, what can you do when you go to the household department?" Even if it's in trouble, it doesn't matter. Anyway, those who were arrested in the criminal department were not good people in the first place. ”
Prince Han: "......"
Is this still a father?!
Han Wang's face was full of accusations and his eyes were full of anger.
King Han sighed and slowed down: "Ah Lie, I will leave the capital in a few days. If I leave this time, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to return to Beijing for several years. You are in the capital, so you must be cautious. ”
"In the past, your imperial grandfather was alive and was very tolerant of you. Now sitting on the dragon chair and taking charge of the government, it is Xiao Xu. He looks gentle and harmless, but in fact he is ruthless. When you see him, you have to be respectful. Don't be a cousin, you have to be called the emperor. ”
"People's hearts are fickle. Don't test the Son of Heaven's patience and tolerance for you. Otherwise, if you get into trouble, I am far away from the mountains and rivers of the capital, and I can't save you. ”
In the last few sentences, Han Wang Shizi's heart was cold. The original indignation in my heart was unconsciously dispersed.
Man is a sword, I am a fish.
Xiao Xu is already the Son of Heaven, and he is no longer the lobby brother who can laugh and offend at will.
Seeing that King Han was quiet, he didn't say anything more, patted King Han on the shoulder, and ordered, "Go next door and call your Fourth Emperor Uncle." Just say I'll invite him to drink tonight. ”
"What kind of wine are you drinking?" Wang Shizi Han subconsciously blurted out.
King Han snorted angrily: "What other wine can you drink, of course it is stuffy and bitter." Go, go, go!"
……
That night, the two brothers King of Wei and King Han drank another meal. The table was quickly filled with empty flasks.
After King Han got drunk, he took advantage of the wine to scold the emperor and queen angrily.
King Wei didn't say anything to stop him this time, and scolded with King Han.
scolded and scolded, and the two of them felt a little desolate.
The dignified vassal king was forced to this job, and he didn't even have a place to complain. can only sit and live together between the two brothers. The two knew that the general trend was gone.
"When are you leaving?"
After scolding all night, King Han's voice was already hoarse.
King Wei replied in a hoarse voice: "Let's leave early! I have already ordered someone to pack up and leave in three days." ”
King Han sighed: "That's it, I will leave Beijing with you one day." ”
If you stay, I don't know what trick the new emperor will come up with to let them bleed and cut their flesh!
Let's go early!
The two brothers looked at each other, then sighed together, raised their glasses together, and silently drank the last glass of wine.
The emperor and queen used all kinds of means to be afraid of the two vassal kings in their prime, and wanted to weaken their financial resources and influence in the court. They are knowledgeable, and they can return to the domain safely. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be bad consequences.
Three days later, King Han and King Wei left Beijing together.
The new emperor personally went to the city gate to see him off, and his words were serious, and he was full of reluctance.
The two feudal kings were so moved to tears that they almost promised on the spot that they would pay the national treasury every year after that.
Fortunately, the new emperor still had some conscience, and did not "pursue the victory", but solemnly promised: "The two imperial uncles can rest assured that they will go to the domain, and I will definitely take good care of the two cousins." ”
King Wei and King Han had to be grateful again, and tears were shed on the spot. After a long time, he left.
Concubine Dou Shu, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out. Seeing the towering and tall city gate getting farther and farther away, and finally disappearing, I couldn't help but cry bitterly.
She is old, and when she leaves Beijing this time, she is afraid that she will die of old age in the Han Dynasty's domain, and it will be difficult to return to Beijing.
