Chapter 41: Temptation
"Your Majesty, the prime minister asks to see you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Jingyao glanced up at Sheng Zhe and asked, "What is he doing here?" I don't know who I'm going to bite again, but if I don't see it, I just say I'm busy. ”
"Leader Li also came with him......"
Li Jingyao's head that had just lowered suddenly raised his head, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "The two of them...... Let them in......"
Since the last time at the banquet, the prime minister strongly recommended Li Xun, Li Jingyao has been suspicious of him, but he didn't expect that now the two of them would ask to see him at the same time, without a hint of concealment, such an act is too public, right?
"The old minister sees the emperor's ......"
"See the emperor's ...... for humble duties"
Li Jingyao listened to the two of them saluting together, but did not respond, Zhou Yongnan and Li Xun stiffened their backs and did not dare to straighten up, and paused for a long time before listening to the humanity in front of them: "Get up, I don't know what important things the prime minister and Leader Li want to say at this time?" ”
Zhou Yongnan glanced at Li Xun and motioned for him to speak, Li Xun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, just ...... General Sima rushed out of the city gate with the funeral procession, and ......"
"What else?" Li Jingyao's eyes flashed and he asked.
"He also killed three innocent people by mistake." After Li Xun finished saying this, Zhou Yongnan hurriedly picked up, "Your Majesty, this killing on the street is really too bold, even if General Sima relies on his own power, he can't ignore that this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, isn't he demonstrating to the emperor by doing this?" ”
Li Jingyao couldn't believe it, no matter how Li Chu was, he was not a person who was impulsive enough to kill innocent people, and hurriedly asked, "Li Xun, are you sure that this is the case?" Not mistaken? ”
Li Xun was about to answer, but Li Jingyao added: "This is a good funeral, why did it make a fuss?" Why did he break through the gates, didn't you let him out? ”
"This ...... The lowly duty felt that no matter how he went out of the city, he had to be inspected, and the coffin was larger than usual, so the lowly thought of going up to inspect it......"
"Ridiculous! Darn! Li Jingyao got up suddenly, stared at Li Xun angrily, and scolded angrily, "If he wants to go to the funeral, why are you stopping him?" Isn't this asking for trouble? For anyone in the Imperial City, you said you would open the coffin and see who would agree with your ridiculous move? ”
Li Xun hurriedly knelt down and said uneasily: "The lowly post does not intend to be the enemy of General Sima, but in the past few days, the lowly post has always felt that the city is not peaceful, so he wants to check it carefully, and he is unwilling to let go of a trace of ......."
"Heh......" Li Jingyao sneered, sat back on the dragon chair, stared at Li Xun and said slowly, "Then have you checked?" ”
"No, when he saw that General Sima was angry and killed, he didn't react for a while, so he let him run away." Li Xun bowed his head and said truthfully.
Li Jingyao glared at him, and Zhou Yongnan answered: "Your Majesty, this Li leader is also thinking about the safety of the Western Capital, how can it compare to the brutality of General Sima, if this is not punished, I am afraid that the people will have a voice." ”
Sheng Zhi suddenly trotted in from outside the hall, met Li Jingyao's gaze, turned his head sideways and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the dead ones are the eyeliner sent by the slave family." ”
Li Jingyao's eyes were shocked, and he waved his hand to signal him to retreat, his heart was full of thoughts, and all he died was eyeliner, how could it not be reminiscent of Li Chu This is another warning to himself?
Could he ...... Are you really desperate for yourself?
"Your Majesty?" Zhou Yongnan was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but remind.
Li Jingyao coughed lightly, raised his eyes and said, "I have my own decision on this matter, so you can step aside for the time being......"
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yongnan wanted to say more, but when he saw Li Jingyao lowering his head, he ignored it with a face, and the words that followed were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say half a word.
Zhou Yongnan had no choice but to retreat with Li Xun, Li Jingyao waited for them to withdraw from the hall, and then raised his head and squinted his eyes to think, he did doubt Lichu's loyalty, and he was also afraid of his strength, but if he let himself have a bad relationship with him, Li Jingyao was extremely unwilling.
"Little fold! Prepare the horses! I'm going to leave the palace! Li Jingyao got up suddenly and walked out of the hall with steady steps.
Li Chu stood in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain and was stunned, his eyes flashed and he saw the high-spirited Li Jingyao, he couldn't help but be shocked, he never thought that Li Jingyao would come over.
"Li Chu see the emperor's ......" Seeing Li Jingyao, Li Chu couldn't help but salute, Li Jingyao seemed a little embarrassed, and hesitated on horseback for a while before jumping off the horse, "Is it necessary to do these false salutes here?" ”
Li Chu didn't refute, so he straightened his back, looked into the distance with his eyes, and didn't say a word, Li Jingyao saw that he didn't speak, and he didn't know how to speak.
Finally, he found a beginning and said, "Chaozong, has the matter been done?" ”
Li Chu shook his head, Li Jingyao's eyes twisted, and he asked, "What's wrong?" What's not to be solved? ”
"The minister is ashamed."
Li Jingyao lowered his eyes and looked at the porcelain vase he was holding in his arms, speculating that the porcelain vase was Feng Jiu's ashes, so he comforted him: "Let people send it back, so that she can return to her ......roots."
"The minister can't let it go, if it's possible, the minister thinks that he just follows Feng Jiu and forgets it, it's better than the intrigue and framing every day." Li Chu's eyes tightened, and he said fiercely.
Li Jingyao's heart was shocked, he naturally understood the meaning of Li Chu's words, but he couldn't help but pretend to be stupid and said, "Who dares to frame you?" Tell me and I'll help you get ahead! I will definitely give you back your innocence. ”
"Forget it...... said Li Chu turned his head and said in a cold tone, "This government and the opposition are full of people who are in agreement, and some people are forced to be helpless, so what if they catch one?" Dirt is still dirt. ”
Li Jingyao stared at his side face and had nothing to say, and the two of them stood so stupidly, neither of them would say a word more, until the neighing of the horse woke them up.
"I'm tired, go sit over there." Li Jingyao nodded at the gazebo in front of him as he spoke, and Li Chu nodded slightly and followed him towards the gazebo.
After only taking two steps, the person in front of him suddenly paused and slowly turned around: "Are you blaming me?" ”
"The emperor laughed, the ministers were terrified, and they never dared to blame the emperor." Li Chu lowered his waist very much as he spoke, Li Jingyao was very uncomfortable by his actions, but he was still reluctant to make any look on his face, and barely stabilized his tone and said, "Even if you blame me, it's nothing, if it weren't for my insistence on staying in the palace for a long time, she wouldn't have misunderstood what I meant, and did such a stupid thing." ”
Li Chu lowered his eyes and glanced at Li Jingyao, his lips moved slightly, and he secretly thought in his heart, he was obviously testing his loyalty, but he said that this temptation was extremely perfect, and this kind of behavior made people feel disgusting.
