177. Chapter 178
"Get up!" The emperor came back to his senses, and he didn't seem to care about every move of the people below, but in fact he paid close attention.
There are only a few people left in the imperial study today, Xiao Zhengwen, Chu Shangshu, Zhongyong Hou, Shangguan Qi, Shangguan Lan Jin, Rui Wang and Rui Wang Shizi.
From the moment she entered the door, those two scorching eyes never left Xiao Jing, making her feel uncomfortable.
Standing quietly, she didn't say anything to others, and others didn't ask him or answer.
Seeing that Xiao Jing didn't speak, the emperor felt very depressed, this woman didn't know how much trouble she had caused, she could still be so calm at this time, seeing her standing like no one else, she didn't say anything if others didn't say it, and she didn't refuse to accept it one by one if others looked at her.
"Do you know what it is to hinder the march of the great army? Are you wrong? The emperor was tepid, looking at Xiao Jing, and consideration rose in his eyes.
"Hindering the army from going on the expedition and missing the auspicious time, it should be beheaded." Before the emperor could speak, Shangguan Qi immediately stepped forward to play, for fear of missing a minute and a second, so that Xiao Jing would have a chance to refute.
"Did you hear that?" The emperor was also unhurried and unhurried, looking at Xiao Jing's face, it was still as indifferent as ever, as if it was not her who was going to die, the eyes were black and white, and she couldn't see the edge at a glance, so calm, so unique.
"Naturally, Xiao Jing and the prince have known each other for a long time, the emperor once said that I am a glorious companion with him, he is well, Xiao Jing has been a high-ranking official since then, if he is not good, Xiao Jing also has to accompany the funeral, plus his friends are separated from each other since then, shouldn't they be sent to each other? Although the emperor did not send the emperor out of the city, Xiao Jing thought, the emperor's heart must have flown to the border with the 100,000 army, the emperor loves the people like a son, Xiao Jing believes that if the Xixia City does not need the emperor to preside over the overall situation, the emperor will definitely choose to go to war like the 100,000 army to create a home without war and bloodshed for the people, but the Xixia City needs the emperor, and the people need their world to guard them here and settle their hearts, why would the emperor send the Shengqing King to fight? He was frail and sickly, and he relied on medicine to survive all the year round, but he still went, because he knew that only the royal people could rest assured that only the royal people went to the army of 100,000, the emperor calmed the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the soldiers of Shengqing Wang An did not lose the hearts of the people or the army, and I believe that the Western Xia will soon return victoriously, how can I lose to a reckless and ignorant border country? Xiao Jing didn't say anything, she said a lot of things, true and false, false and true.
But, again, the world is hypocritical, who doesn't like to listen to good words? Sometimes it takes skill to make a fool of yourself, and you can make a lie more perfect by adding some truth to your lies.
"Well said......" Chu Shangshu stepped forward excitedly, "If it weren't for the fact that Xixia City still needs my old bones to guard, I also want to charge into battle with the 100,000 army to defend the dignity of my Western Xia, such a small border country is very arrogant, even my old bones can't tolerate it, let alone a young and hot-blooded person like the emperor?" Presumably, this time the Shengqing King also went into battle with such determination to kill the enemy......"
In order to reflect his excitement, Chu Shangshu was so smart that he even ignored his own claims, he naturally knew that the emperor would not blame him at this time, because several people here had a pivotal position in the court, and if the emperor was so easy to blame, he would not take the army that went to the border to heart.
"Chu Shangshu is wholeheartedly for the country, loyalty and courage have long been reflected in the Meizhou riots, at this time there is General Pei at the border, you should always be responsible for guarding Xixia ......City."
The Xiao family comforted Chu Shangshu like a female general who did not let her eyebrows go.
Zhenguo Gong Xiao Zhengwen is Xiao Jing's father, and he is the most inappropriate person to speak at this moment, because no matter what he says, others have reasons to refute it, and whether it is good or bad will eventually become bad, so he kept his mouth shut smartly.
"Xiao Jing, you don't want to slap the sycophants in front of the emperor...... Shangguan Qi saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and he was afraid that Xiao Jing would shirk the charge of hindering the army's expedition, so he immediately stepped forward to accuse, and King Rui didn't even have a chance to pull him. There is only a word of stupidity in my heart.
"What? Does Dr. Shangguan have any objection to Xiao Jing's words? Do you think that the emperor is not wise enough, or do you think that the emperor is not suitable to guard the people in Xixia City, or do you think that King Shengqing is not capable of repelling the army of the Northern Departure? Xiao Jing's series of questions made Shangguan Qi feel dizzy, and after a few seconds, he finally couldn't find an excuse to refute and knelt on the ground: "The emperor is wise!" ”
"Imperial Doctor Xiao, Lord Shangguan refers to the emperor who is here to discuss your obstruction of the army, you don't want to talk about it, forget the purpose of this trip." King Rui did not hurry to speak clearly for Shangguan Qi, which could remind the emperor and retreat with his whole body, the means were not clever, but they were extremely useful.
Xiao Jing smiled slightly, this King Rui is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, he can still survive if he loses in the confrontation with the emperor, which shows that the emperor is still a little afraid of his power, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.
"As Rui Wang Ye said, Xiao Jing does not feel that he is at fault, I have known the King of Shengqing for a long time, he is my patient, this time to send troops to the border I don't know when I can return, the emperor named Xiao Jing as the imperial doctor when he said that the life of the King of Shengqing will be handed over to Xiao Jing, if he has three long and two short Xiao Jing don't want to live, this morning before dawn, Xiao Jing remembered that the King of Shengqing forgot to bring a medicine, so he hurriedly sent it, Yu Shitai handed the emperor a fold, saying that the minister hindered the army to go out, missed the auspicious time, and asked the emperor to ask Qin Tianjian to calculate, Whether the minister missed the auspicious time, if this is the case, Xiao Jing must ask for guilt. ”
The emperor frowned slightly, this woman is really exquisite, Shangguan Qi caught the charge of her wearing a red dress to send her lover, but she pushed all the reasons on herself, she did make this will, she also thought that she couldn't cure Mo Qianchen, and she also wanted to get rid of Mo Qianchen in order to reflect her benevolence, and he didn't think there was anything to catch up with Xiao Jing, but now it has become her lifeline.
"Come on, Xuanqin Tianjian." If it is true that the auspicious time is not mistaken, then Xiao Jing's crime does not exist, at that time, the ministers of the Yushitai were just busy working in vain, Xiao Jing is not only innocent, but her generous words just now will also win her a lot of good reputation, and now she is also a hot daughter in Xixia City.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense, before dawn today, Xiao Jing was dressed in red and rode a white horse to send King Shengqing out of the city, everyone saw it, could it be that you Xiao Jing still have to quibble? Or are you blind when so many people are blind? Hum...... If you are an ordinary young lady, it is nothing, then you are just a shameless person, but a second-class official of the imperial court, you will lose the face of the imperial court by behaving like this......" Shangguan Qi didn't believe that such a big crime Xiao Jing solved it in a few words, so he pointed the finger at the red-clothed white horse.
"Lord Shangguan, if you want to announce a personal vendetta, it depends on the occasion, doesn't it? Do you, a small five-grade official, dare to make a mistake in front of the emperor and put the emperor in his eyes? Have you taken the adults into account? ”
As soon as Xiao Jing's words came out, Shangguan Qi really looked at the others who looked at him sarcastically, obviously feeling that he was not qualified to speak here.
Shangguan Qi only felt depressed in his heart, and instantly felt that these few people were all powerful villains, and if he didn't help him cure Xiao Jing's sin at this moment, the hateful Chu Shangshu also said to help her, which was really hateful.
At this moment, King Rui has completely given up Shangguan Qi, who can't read words and feelings, anyway, the current Shangguan Qi is of little use to him, and he will drag him back at any time, so he doesn't care about it.
Noticing Mo Jingyi, Xiao Jing raised his head slightly to meet him, only to see that he seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, and his evil smile added a bit of bad anger to him, but it was eye-catching and charming, but at this moment, Xiao Jing didn't have the heart to appreciate it, ignored his gaze, and continued to observe the emperor's expression.
Whether she can get away with the crime also depends on the emperor's attitude If the emperor does not let her go, then there are thousands of reasons to treat her and die.
If in normal times, the emperor will definitely directly announce Xiao Jing's fault, and then punish, but at this time, King Shengqing is on the way to the border, if she really has a personal relationship with Xiao Jing, then she is dead, maybe King Shengqing will make some trouble at the border, the emperor knows him best, as far as his secret guard, thinking about it makes many ministers frightened and their legs are weak, plus Xiao Jing is in the limelight at this time, and has a pivotal position in the hearts of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard.
Xiao Jing quietly speculated on the thoughts in the emperor's heart, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hmph...... Imperial Doctor Xiao should explain well the matter of your red-clothed white horse and Shengqing Wang hugging on the street, right? ”
Here's the problem, men and women are seven years old at different seats, let alone hugging in the street? At that time, Mo Qianchen was very excited in his heart, where could he have thought that the emperor would blame? I just feel that the sweetness in my heart is like smearing honey, and even when I walk on the march, I often smile, which makes the soldiers' hearts warm.
I thought that Xiao Jing would panic and beg for mercy, but who knew that she smiled slightly and radiantly, "Lord Shangguan, Xiao Jing said that it sounds good to be a royal doctor, and if it doesn't sound good, it is just a doctor, Xiao Jing eats the king's money, does the king's things, never dares to look down on himself, feels that he is superior, and has never felt that he is a high-ranking official and nobleman, there is a saying that it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes if the official is not the master of the people, although the words are rough but not coarse, no matter how noble the Shengqing King is, but in my eyes he is just a patient, an ordinary person who can cry, laugh, hurt and hurt, Treat each other in an equal way, accept each other, and the relationship will naturally be closer, when I went out to fight, King Shengqing once told me that I don't know if I can return safely for my brother this time, it is just a hug of an ordinary friend, Xiao Jing is not a daughter, Xiao Jing is just a little woman who cares for the people and worries about the king, as for the red-clothed ......" Xiao Jing said calmly, showing a bit of tenderness.
"Nonsense......" Shangguan Qi pointed at Xiao Jing, her face was angry, she was really a sharp-toothed woman.
"Am I talking nonsense? I treat everyone equally, and the people of Xixia know it, from the emperor and queen to the people of Limin, Lord Shangguan doesn't know? Xiao Jing asked Shangguan Qi with a smile, looking at him like a clown jumping off a beam.
"I do know!"
The emperor nodded, and many people knew about Xiao Jing's stripping and needles for the queen.
"That red-clothed ......" Shangguan Qi looked at Xiao Jing unwillingly, the red-clothed should not be wrong, see how she explains.
"The red dress is just an ordinary dress, if you don't believe it, you can show it to you......" After speaking, the eunuch walked over with the clothes, and the emperor motioned to the palace maid on the side to come forward to check, and the palace maid respectfully walked in front of the emperor after some torture, "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Xiao's dress looks red, but in fact it is just a begonia red dress, and there is no place to cross the distance, it is too ridiculous to say that it is a wedding dress." ”
"Hmm......" The emperor has already given up on catching Xiao Jing's pigtails, since she can do it, she must have already taken countermeasures, where is it so easy to be caught wrong?
"Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian has arrived......"
"Xuan ......"
Qin Tianjian lowered his waist and knelt on the ground and bowed before getting up.
The emperor seemed a little impatient, "I ask you, today, Imperial Doctor Xiao has hindered the army from going out and missed the auspicious time?" ”
When Qin Tianjian heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Back to the emperor, today's army went smoothly and did not delay the auspicious ......time."
"Hmm~ Shangguan Qi, what else do you want to ask?"
"Minister......
"Since this matter is a misunderstanding, then let's leave it, Imperial Doctor Xiao will retreat first! I will give you justice~" After making trouble for a long time, nothing happened, Xiao Jing looked at Shangguan Qi, smiled slightly and took the lead out of the imperial study.
This matter is obviously manipulated by someone, and Shangguan Qi is a small official who is afraid that he does not have that ability', as for King Rui, it is even more unnecessary, if Xiao Jing holds Shangguan Qi and does not let go, it will cause a reputation for being able to spare people, it is better to let the emperor have a headache alone.
It's just that the people behind the scenes are so clever that they can make half of the officials of the imperial court listen to him, which is naturally not to be underestimated, and his strength is simply covering the sky with one hand.
This is also a headache for the emperor, and now he is under attack, embattled, and the throne is in jeopardy. In this way, will Mo Qianchen be able to survive in the cracks? At least now he has not threatened the emperor's position, does the emperor not have the time to guard against him and deal with him?
How did Xiao Jing know that the person the emperor was most jealous of was Mo Qianchen? Although he has no intention of taking the throne.
King Rui, the emperor, Mo Qianchen, these three were all candidates for the throne, if it weren't for the natural weakness, the throne would definitely be Mo Qianchen's, King Rui is the eldest son, the most advantageous candidate, but in the end, he made the unknown Mo Qianling the emperor, the content must be complicated, Xiao Jing didn't bother to guess, the more she knew in this palace, the faster she would die, she just wanted Mo Qianchen to return safely, and the two of them could face all the difficulties together in the future.
This palace road made Xiao Jing feel extremely long, and thinking of Xiao Yu of Si Yisi, Xiao Jing changed his way.
