Chapter 209: False alarm

So that evening, the Empress Dowager personally went to the emperor's imperial study to express her thoughts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"In a few months, Yaoying will be produced, and the mourning family will naturally have to stay in the palace at that time. Recently, there is nothing important about Zhaoguo, and there is Yaoying in the palace to take care of it, and the mourning family is very relieved. ”

It's just that Qingbo Island is far away from the capital, and the time spent on the road alone will take several days, and the emperor is a little worried about her safety. Although someone would definitely be sent to escort her at that time, after all, the distance was far away, and it was impossible to prevent it, so the emperor proposed: "Has the queen mother considered going to Jingquan Island? That place is close to the capital, and the scenery is not inferior to Qingbo Island." ”

"But Kiyoba Island has the most pleasant climate this season, and there is a fish there that cannot be bought on Shizuzumi Island. The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Obviously, he has already made up his mind to go to Kiyoba Island.

Seeing that she had made up his mind, the emperor nodded with a smile and asked, "When does the queen mother want to leave?"

She was going to leave the day after tomorrow, and she wanted to stay in the palace for the next two days to see the results of the matter between Sima Yu and Concubine Meng.

"Well, well, the boy will send thirty men to escort you. ”

The Queen Mother hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You don't need so many people, just half of them." ”

The more people there are, the easier it is to leak the news.

She was going to bring a few of her own people with her at that time, so that she and Li Huai could have a tryst.

Nan Jia will definitely bring it, and she will bring two more fathers-in-law and two palace maids, and they will help to deal with it, so that she and Li Huai can meet her smoothly.

"Will there be less fifteen?" the emperor was a little uneasy.

"That's enough, there will be a few people around me at that time. The Queen Mother said.

The Emperor nodded.

This night, Sima Yu was like an ant on a hot nest, and he didn't feel at ease for a moment.

The emperor said that he would enter the palace tomorrow to go through the formalities of being a minister, and in this way, his career as an official who had dominated the government and the opposition for more than 20 years would come to an abrupt end.

He has had the ambition to do great things since he was a child, and he has really worked hard to realize this wish in the past half of his life, but he didn't expect to be a big heel because of a letter.

Concubine Meng's letter was not something he was willing to receive, and the reply was even more reluctant, but now he was punished so severely because of them, which made him unwilling.

Right now, the most important thing is to keep your position.

Sima Yu paced back and forth in the room.

Soon, he had an idea, and immediately invited several former ministers of the Zhao Kingdom to meet at the Yixuan Teahouse.

This time, Sima Yu swept away the cold arrogance of the past, knelt down straight towards them, and said, "The juniors have something now, I'm afraid only a few of you can help it." ”

In Zhaoguo, even though these old ministers have been in office for many years, their words still carry a lot of weight.

When they heard him say this, and saw him like this, they could not help frowning.

Although they didn't like Sima Yu very much, they still recognized Sima Yu's talent, so they asked him what was going on.

Only then did Sima Yu tell him how he pursued a harem concubine, how he wrote a letter to her, and how the letter was inadvertently known by a father-in-law next to the emperor.

Naturally, these are all lies.

These old ministers all blushed when they heard this, and the expressions on their faces were also very complicated.

They really didn't expect that Sima Yu, who had always been indifferent, would take the initiative to pursue a woman, and it was in the harem.

So one of the old ministers said solemnly: "You really ate the gall of a leopard, and you dared to fight the idea of a woman in the harem, Your Majesty is already very merciful to let you Zhishi." ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty has no complaints about punishing the younger generation, but the younger generation is still young and wants to make more contributions to the country. Sima Yu replied with a shy old face.

As long as they are willing to help him, he is willing to let him do whatever he wants.

These old ministers exchanged glances with each other, and finally the old minister who had just spoken responded: "In this way, we will go into the palace together tomorrow morning to see Your Majesty, and help you ask him for a favor." ”

Sima Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to them.

"We can't guarantee that we will be able to convince Your Majesty. The old minister said.

"The juniors know that you are willing to help the juniors come forward, and the juniors are already grateful, so it depends on the will of God what the result is. Sima Yu said sincerely.

After sending them away, Sima Yu asked the shopkeeper to serve a jar of wine, and drank it silently.

Tomorrow his fate will depend on a few of them, he said in his heart, and the hand holding the wine jar trembled slightly.

This night, Sima Yu naturally couldn't sleep, not only couldn't sleep, but his heart was also very anxious, so he hurried to the palace before dawn.

He knew that these old ministers would not enter the palace until the emperor had finished the early court, and he also knew that the emperor would not talk about this matter in the court, so he was still safe when he went to the early court.

But even so, in the entire early dynasty, Sima Yu's heart was also raised, and the whole person was like a frog thrown into an oil pot, full of a sense of crisis.

When he retired from the dynasty, the emperor said to Sima Yu: "Sima Aiqing will come to the Yinghua Palace." ”

Sima Yu secretly said that it was not good, but he also replied mechanically: "Yes." ”

On the way to Yinghua Hall with the emperor, Sima Yu's whole heart was entangled, but because there were still people next to him, it was inconvenient to say anything, so he had to follow the emperor carefully with his mouth closed all the way.

As a result, this short road is like walking hundreds of miles for Sima Yu, and there is a feeling that he will fall down if he takes one more step.

finally managed to reach the Yinghua Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, Sima Yu knelt down, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, Wechen asks Your Majesty to give Wechen a chance." ”

The emperor lifted his robe and sat down on the dragon chair before slowly moving his gaze to him.

Seeing that he had a scruffy beard and red eyes, he knew that he should have not slept all night last night, so he said lightly: "It's not difficult for me to give you a chance, but you have to give me a little promise, right?"

Sima Yu hurriedly said: "Weichen will never have anything to do with Concubine Meng from now on, if there is, whatever Your Majesty does." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "I also thought about it last night, after all, you have done countless hard work for the Zhao Kingdom, so I will give you a chance for these merits." ”

Sima Yu couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look at the emperor.

The emperor's expression didn't look like he was joking.

Sima Yu was immediately relieved, and at the same time had some indescribable sadness, so his nose was sore, and he almost cried.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" said Sima Yu in a loud voice.

The Emperor said, "But giving you a chance does not mean not punishing you." ”

Sima Yu's heart that had just been put down was suddenly lifted again. However, the emperor was right, this incident could not have happened anyway, so he lowered his head slightly and said, "The minister understands." ”

The Emperor said, "I plan to transfer you to the Advisors' Corps. ”

Sima Yu's expression was a little indescribable sadness when he heard this.

This would be tantamount to relegating him to where he was twenty years ago.

However, this is much better than letting him be a scholar, not to mention that he can also be qualified to participate in the 'Ninth Five-Year Competition', so he hurriedly kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
