Chapter 281: Rumors or Rumors
While speaking, Qi Rong received a secret letter from the palace, a small note, a few words, but it was enough to make Qi Rong's face change instantaneously and his air pressure was low. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gongsun looked at Qi Rong's changes, and he also counted a little in his heart,
"If the emperor has something, go back to the palace first. ”
Qi Rong's chin stiffened, nodded, and before leaving, he glanced at Bao Qi uneasily, his eyes were full of affection.
When Qi Rong returned to the palace, Gonggong Li had been in front of the palace for a long time, and when he saw the figure of the emperor coming back, he hurried up and bent down to report.
"Hey, Your Majesty, you're finally back, but the old slave died in a hurry. ”
Qi Rong's own temperament is not ostentatious, and even with the warmth of many years, even if he is an emperor, he is also a stable but not crazy type, which makes people look at it, and there will not be too much sense of oppression, but like a gentleman like jade.
Of course, this is just the outside, but Qi Rong in his bones is completely domineering and cold, habitually suppressing all his thoughts, but those eyes have the power to penetrate people's hearts, if he looks at it when he is not smiling, he knows what it is to shudder.
At this time, Qi Rong walked into the palace with such air pressure all over his body, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, only in the depths of his calm eyes could he carefully explore a solemn aura, and walked in front of Gonggong Li step by step, and even Gonggong Li, who was used to seeing wind and waves, couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead.
As soon as Qi Rong entered the hall door, he saw a stack of folds newly placed on the table, he didn't even look at it, he just swept it for a moment, waved his big palm, snapped, and all of them were scattered on the ground.
The little father-in-law who followed up knelt down and hurried to pick it up, and Father-in-law Li bowed his head and waist,
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry. ”
Qi Rong bowed his head, full of oppression,
"Whoever asked you to pick it up, stop it!"
The little eunuch who knelt on the ground was almost frightened, so he quickly got up, looked at the gesture of Gonggong Li, and hurriedly retreated to the door, letting the music scattered on the ground, no one dared to move for half a minute.
Qi Rong seemed to be smiling, but there were red threads in his eyes, word by word, which made people's hearts tremble.
"Okay, it's really good, they, I've only been out for half a day, and they dare to kneel at the palace gate for a concubine, if I go out for a few more days, it's not against the sky!"
Gonggong Li's frightened heart trembled,
"The emperor takes care of the dragon body, if there is any misunderstanding here, it must be dealt with slowly, don't let the anger hurt the dragon body, not only the ministers can't afford this sin, but this concubine Niangniang also has to die of distress." ”
Speaking of Bao Qi, Qi Rong was even more angry, but he was extremely angry, staring at the direction of the temple gate and being silent for a moment, then he turned his head slightly and glanced at the person next to him, and his low voice did not relax at all,
"I want to listen, I have only been out of the palace for half a day, how can this noble concubine become a disaster for the country and the people!"
It turned out that in the past few days, the matter of the concubine who had just been suppressed in the palace, but I don't know how, it spread to the court with lightning speed, this is a matter that belongs to the inner palace, and the courtiers can't say too much, but they can't stop this rumor from changing the taste, and it hit the sensitive point of the ministers at once.
It is rumored that the concubine Niangniang pretended to be pregnant, but she smeared the queen and framed her, ruined the reputation of the queen, and in addition to the palace fight, she actually ignored the palace law and left the palace without authorization for a month, and even confused the king, so that the emperor had no intention of going to the government, and repeatedly left the palace, which is simply a disaster that destroys the palace rules and government and disturbs the monarch's heart!
What's more, the exclusive favor of the concubine has also been turned out, if it is said that the queen has been exclusive before, but the queen has more than once publicly wanted to choose a concubine for the emperor, but the emperor himself did not allow it, and now there is a concubine, the queen is naturally generous, but this concubine has been in the palace for many days, and the emperor has begun to like the new and hate the old again, and he has a single favor, which has caused a lot of discussion inside and outside the palace.
Of course, the next thing is obviously to add fuel to the fire, and the ministers are even more angry, or the queen is self-controlled, but the concubine ignores the palace law, leaves the palace without authorization, and even spreads evil words to discredit the queen, after all, it has spread in the palace, and it is rumored that the queen wants to harm the concubine, but the palace people all know that the queen does not leave Yong'an Palace, how can it hurt people.
Now that the emperor has been on the throne for five years, the harem is empty, and there is no queen mother to preside, the ministers are naturally quite concerned about this, and it is easy to come over an old princess, bring a prince who does not know the so-called, and now he is still so unruly to abide by the law, the ministers are full of righteous indignation, and their impassioned anger is simply nowhere to vent, and they have followed the ancient law and knelt at the palace gate to ask for the decree.
Time passed minute by minute, Qi Rong basically knew the cause and effect, even if he was suspicious, he couldn't grasp any evidence at this time, he could only stare coldly in front of him,
"How long have they been on their knees. ”
Gonggong Li hurriedly said,
"Back to the emperor, the adults have been kneeling for two and a half hours, but do you want to invite them back to the house?"
Qi Rong sneered,
"I'll let them go back?"
Grandpa Li respectfully and respectfully,
"The emperor said that he had made an order, who would dare to disobey. ”
Qi Rong didn't sit down with a dark face, but lowered his eyes calmly, didn't know what to think, and spoke after a while,
"Spread my message, just say that the concubine is out of the palace, it is my own permission, if you understand, hurry back to the house, if you don't understand, let him come to Shengqian Palace to ask me!"
Gonggong Li moved his eyes, said yes with a huff, and went out to deliver the decree.
And those ministers at the door, when they heard the emperor's words, were surprised, and they talked a lot, the emperor was bound to protect the concubine to the end.
Most of the people who come to kneel are some old courtiers, and the people who are above all the rules and rituals are basically above all and higher than the ancestors, hearing this message, where can I calm down, you look at me, I look at you, the anger is big, the beard is going to be crooked, the anger is small, I want to go and see that no one is leaving, and I am embarrassed to go, and finally I still kneel there, no one moves.
Until one of the oldest ministers arched his hands,
"I also bothered Gonggong Li to return to the saint on behalf of his ministers, this woman is a disaster to the country, ignoring the law of the dynasty, the emperor must not be deceived by it, and leave the etiquette law behind. ”
Gonggong Li twisted the dust, with a look of helplessness and understanding, and a little sympathy and worry, but looked at the minister in front of him reasonably,
"Lord Wang, my lords, our family doesn't speak for anyone, but I feel sorry for the emperor's dragon body, the adults kneel, there are the insistence and positions of the adults, but the emperor is angry, angry and hurts the body, this dragon body is uneasy, it is the world is uneasy, no matter how big this thing is, if it hurts the dragon body, then you can't afford this sin. ”
"Our family understands the hard work of the adults, but they can't rush to come here, the adults can't afford to kneel, it seems that they are defending the palace law, but the road behind this can't go down, even if I, the adults, let's wait until the early dynasty?"
Gonggong Li's words also alluded to the fact that everyone should leave enough steps for the emperor, don't be radical for a while, and finally lose both.
Although the old ministers also understand this truth, but in a fit of anger, they are even more reckless in their old ministers' qualifications, and want to force the emperor to comply, but they didn't expect the emperor to be blatantly protective.
Under the hesitation, it was the ministers who wanted to leave who stood up first, they didn't want to have trouble with the emperor the most, especially the current emperor, in a few years, in addition to some hard bones, some ministers have long been waiting to retire.
The ministers gradually ran away, and a few persistent old ministers sighed, didn't know what to say, and finally stood up with the help of Gonggong Li with a smile, and was helped away by beating his waist.
Not long after Qi Rong went out, Qi Rong summoned Di Bugui, word by word, as if with a blade,
"I want you to take someone to investigate thoroughly, how did this matter get to the court, those ministers outside haven't left yet, you know what to do. ”
"Yes!"
