Chapter 138: The Sacred Heart Is Hard to Take
There was silence in the court for a moment, and then there were bursts of whispers. And these ministers who came to the meeting at night, what they talked about and pointed to between their fingers, were all the Seven Highnesses who had emerged.
"What do you Aiqing want to say, even if you say it bluntly, you are a little distant from me, why don't you talk about it quietly?" Emperor Xiao was encouraging the courtiers on the surface, but secretly he was concerned about the matter of forming a party and welcoming private interests.
"Returning to Your Majesty, what the old minister just whispered about is about the water intake channel that His Royal Highness said in his mouth." Shen Jing walked out of the hall, and then folded his sleeves and asked.
"Shen Qing is curious about this matter, what is the result?" Emperor Xiao thought that He Situ would be the first to stand up and praise his "good son-in-law", but he didn't expect Shen Jing to be unbearable.
"The old minister is ignorant, and he has not yet come up with the ingenuity." Shen Jing said in the direction of our kneeling, this posture was clearly leading us to answer. "Lord Shen is so smart, it's better to figure it out on your own." Xiao Shengxia refuted his pressing step by step.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Shen Qing to be as smart as the juniors." Emperor Xiao was relieved, laughing loudly, but there was something extraordinary.
"Your Majesty smiled." Shen Jing originally wanted to argue with Xiao Shengxia with this move in order to achieve the purpose of nitpicking. Now that the situation has changed abruptly, he categorically refused to answer, which really messed up Shen Jing's premeditation, and all he could do was to return to his original position.
"Shengxia, when it is time to retire from the dynasty, you will come to my dormitory to have a good talk with me." Although Emperor Xiao was very curious about this matter, like Shen Jing, he still moved the solution to the problem a little. "Sheng Xia received the grace of the saints, and after retiring from the court, he should tell them one by one." Xiao Shengxia's answer was the same as before, without the slightest flattery.
"This matter is finally solved, what kind of grace do you want me to give?" Emperor Xiao did not immediately reward him, but asked questions, and his tentative tone was still hovering in his ears.
"Sheng Xia doesn't ask for any reward, but after asking for the saint, don't give me some holy favors, of course, Sheng Xia will not ask for responsibility." As soon as this statement came out. The crowd was in an uproar. Who would have thought that this person would be so arrogant, not only refused the emperor's gift, but also explicitly begged the emperor not to ask for a reward.
Emperor Xiao's hands were originally smoothly attached to the holy platform, but now he held his hands tightly. It seems to suppress the riot of love. "Whether or not my reward is not determined by your words, and you, as a courtier, cannot hide it when you can."
Emperor Xiao's words were sharp and decisive, even if I was kneeling under the palace. It is inevitable that there will be some trembling of Weihe. Xiao Shengxia was obviously not deterred by such a powerful force, and his actions were more like playing with fire.
Seeing that Emperor Xiao's flat promise had not yet been issued, he stood up on his own.
He didn't want to die himself, but he counted me in with it. My resistance was of little avail, and I stumbled to my feet. He Situ on the side, the expression on his face was almost the same as that of a thermometer.
When Emperor Xiao said that he would be rewarded, he maintained it at a constant temperature, and when Xiao Shengxia refused to give a reward, he was gradually heating up. Now, Xiao Shengxia got up before he got ****. even involved the "He family", and He Situ at this time was in a state that was almost explosive.
"Presumptuous, have you gotten up, don't kneel yet." Emperor Xiao slapped the holy platform and shouted, and the internal officials waiting on the side looked panicked, and stretched out their soft fingers to caress his heart.
"It's hard to kneel down in this matter, and you can only be reasonable when you get up, please forgive Sheng Xia for being rude." Looking at him beside him, his face was resolute and calm, and I could only "sing with my husband".
"Jin'er prays to the saint to calm his anger. After listening to His Highness's words, he will be punished. "We petitioned at the same time, with a humble attitude, and Emperor Xiao's anger gradually calmed down a lot.
I waited for the others to stand up and speak, but it was not reasonable. I will still act in accordance with the rules. "Emperor Xiao's words can be regarded as a retreat, and Xiao Shengxia and I have also been released.
"On the first day of his journey to Kitazawa, Sheng Xia was intercepted by assassins along the way, and half of the men he led were killed." "Fortunately, everyone will work together. fought desperately to save the grain and grass brought by the rest of the men and horses. Xiao Shengxia's tone became more and more high, and his eyes were even more hateful.
When Emperor Xiao heard this, his reaction was even stronger, and his iron fist slammed into the holy platform, and his face was also hideous and terrifying. "Who is so bold as this, and my people dare to persecute it!"
Emperor Xiao got up and scolded angrily, his hand wrapped around the ministers and clicked, and finally withdrew with a sway, and put it in his sleeve. "Sheng Xia doesn't know who gave the secret order, he only knows that these people are vicious, and they can't wait for me to die." Xiao Shengxia's face was gloomy, as if he was dead.
Emperor Xiao saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but pinch his head and say: "My royal land, so presumptuous, are they really unable to find clues?" Thy life, which I have given, shall they take it as they please? ”
"Old minister, I hereby ask for an order to withdraw the investigation of this matter and return justice to His Highness." He Situ found the right time to ask for his life. "He Qing, don't meddle in this matter, I have been disturbed by you now." Emperor Xiao resolutely replied to He Situ's responsibility, and looked at the people in the hall with a calm expression.
At this time, I have no room to interject, and it really makes no difference whether I am there or not.
"Rui'er, what are you laughing at?" Emperor Xiao walked down the temple directly, and said angrily at Xiao Rui, who had not yet gotten up. Xiao Rui restrained a smile on his lips and did not say anything to explain.
"I ask you, what are you laughing at?" Seeing that he still didn't mean to answer, Emperor Xiao kicked him diagonally on his right shoulder, looking angry. "Erchen just wants to laugh, there is no reason, is this right father and emperor not allowed."
Xiao Rui's body leaned to the side because of this kick, but the tone of his answer was plain. A few strands of green silk were scattered on his forehead, where was the original demeanor.
"Laugh, you're not laughing at the right time, I'm talking about the attack in Shengxia, are you smiling in defiance of the country's prestige?" Emperor Xiao became more and more annoyed, and he didn't know what ignited the fire in his heart.
"If you want to add sin, why should you do it?" Xiao Rui's cold words made Emperor Xiao even more suspicious. "Well, since you are talking like this, then I will not pursue this matter for the time being, you can get up." With that, Emperor Xiao turned around and returned to the dragon seat.
"I just let the Zhongqing family see the joke, and I really missed something." Emperor Xiao introspected himself, and then restored his face.
Xiao Shengxia and I have been silent since we spoke. After witnessing the sudden turn of events, we can't find a way to talk about it.
"Sheng Xia, is the assassination you just said the reason for your refusal to reward and resign?" Emperor Xiao looked at the situation where everyone was silent, and finally extended the topic to the original starting point.
I looked at Xiao Shengxia's body like a straight tree, and I couldn't help but think of nudging him as a reminder.
Well, I admit that I was wrong, I admit that I used the wrong force......
I'll admit that I've made a bit more complicated......
