After Qi Tongsuo finished digging the pit, it was almost dark.

She was finally relieved and dragged Xie Dingguo home.

When I returned home, I went to the old lady's room first, and the old lady had woken up at that time, and Qi Baoling was taking care of her.

The old lady was wrapped in a white cloth on her forehead, and the whole person showed no spirit, and when she saw Xie Dingguo and Qi Tongsuo coming in, she just forced a laugh.

Xie Dingguo and Qi Tongsuo saluted, and Mrs. Xie pointed to the chair next to her: "Sit down, it's useless to me, I can't even do a death advice, I'm afraid that your grandfather Jiuquan will blame me." ”

Xie Dingguo lowered his head and didn't speak, Qi Tongsuo has never been a good talker, and he can't say anything.

On the contrary, Qi Baoling, the Qi family's most talkative and most able to deal with people, opened his mouth with a sneer: "What is Grandma Xie's name?" If Grandpa Xie really blames you, then he is also an old fool. ”

Mohu said. Qi Tongsuo knew how deep the old lady's feelings were for the deceased old man, and when he saw Qi Baoling say this, he immediately stopped it.

Ran Qi Baoling ignored her and continued: "If you are mediocre today, but Beiliang is so frightened, she wants to cede Yanzhou, what can Grandma Xie do to stop it?" also said that you died at the gate of the palace, but I didn't say nonsense, Your Majesty should give up Yanzhou or give it up, not only did you not dissuade the emperor, but you also had to be charged with what crime was put on your head by that villain, and when the time comes, the Xie family's reputation for several lifetimes will be gone. ”

Old Mrs. Xie closed her eyes and said weakly: "The old man of my family is not fancy the name. He takes a fancy to the people of Yanzhou. ”

"Yes, it's the people of Yanzhou who fancy it." Qi Baoling pursed his lips: "It's a pity that Grandpa Xie has been dead for many years, and he died fighting for the people of Yanzhou." How many children of the Xie family have also lost their lives to protect the people of Yanzhou, and now there are only three of your family left, you are old, you are an old man, my third sister, to tell the truth, that is a fool. The third brother-in-law has the root of the disease again, and he can't say when he got sick. You old stupid stupid crazy how can you force it? ”

Speaking of this, Qi Baoling poured a sip of tea violently: "Grandpa Xie saw the current Xie family under Jiuquan, I'm afraid it was heartbreaking." I won't force you anymore to do anything, besides, it's not that you don't work hard, you have to die headlong, what are you going to do, you can't kill people too much, do you really have to break your body to thousands of pieces Grandpa Xie is not willing. ”

"This ......," Qi Baoling said to Mrs. Xie hesitated.

Seeing this, Qi Baoling continued: "Besides, you are thinking about Grandpa Xie in your heart, don't you know that Grandpa Xie is also thinking about you." I have also heard the third sister say that you and Grandpa Xie have been helping each other through many difficult things. In the meantime, they are having children and fighting on the battlefield together, and their feelings are not comparable to others, I thought, what do you think about Grandpa Xie, he must be the same for you. Grandpa Xie is now underground, and I'm afraid he is willing to let you live for a long time. Let you come to see the birth of your great-grandson, be able to raise your great-grandson to grow up, and be able to support the Xie family to flourish again, but what about you, you have to die or live for a faint king, it's really not worth it. ”

Old Madam Xie was even more powerless: "I'm not for the faint king, but for Yanzhou." ”

"Then you should live better." Qi Baoling said categorically: "Your Majesty is confused, you want to cede Yanzhou, now no one will listen to anyone's advice, plus the border of Beiliang Chen Bing, now the situation is unsolvable, we can only watch, but I think, one day we can touch Mingjun, and when that time comes, we can go north to recover Yanzhou, and beat Beiliang to a falling flower, so that we can relieve our anger." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Baoling sighed long and leisurely: "Grandma Xie, no matter when, what happens, you can't say a word of death lightly, people are dead for a hundred, but nothing can be done, only alive, and alive well, can one day realize your wishes, you say yes." ”

Qi Baoling's words were reasonable, and the old lady Xie who was arguing had nothing to say.

I don't know how long it took for Old Lady Xie to smile and pat Qi Baoling's hand: "You kid, why are you so sharp-toothed, and I don't know who you learned from." ”

Old Madam Xie smiled, Xie Dingguo and Qi Tongsuo breathed a sigh of relief and said a few words with a smile.

When it came to Qi Baoling and Xie Dingguo digging a big pit at the gate of the palace, the faces of Mrs. Xie and Qi Baoling really changed several times, and finally Mrs. Xie said helplessly: "Anyway, my old bones are still alive, and I will bear what happens." ”

But said that on the palace side, Emperor Chengping asked Liu Rui to go outside to see if Mrs. Xie was gone, Liu Rui went to the palace gate and asked the little eunuch that it was said that he was gone, so he asked someone to open the palace gate.

As soon as the door of this palace opened, it could be regarded as scaring Liu Rui.

What's the matter with such a big pit right next to the door? Why are there two walls on the side of the pit? Also, what about the iron tools that shone with cold light in the pit? Is this the entrance to the palace, or is it a trap used for hunting in the mountains?

Liu Rui wiped a handful of sweat and hurriedly returned to Zichen Palace to report to Emperor Chengping.

When Emperor Chengping heard Liu Ruiyi say that the third girl of Qi had dug a big pit at the door, he didn't know what it was like to be in the pit.

After a long time, Emperor Chengping was angry and ashamed, ashamed and angry, slapped the table and said: "It's really a big rebellion, Liu Rui, you go to pass the decree, just say that the Xie family does not respect the king, and the order is ...... Xie Dingguo handed over the military power and told their family to think about it behind closed doors. ”

Liu Rui was a little reluctant, but he couldn't refute Emperor Chengping, so he could only agree.

He walked out of the palace from the back door, and when he went around to the front door, he saw the big pit and shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart that such a big pit is placed here, isn't it clear that Emperor Chengping is a faint monarch of the world, it can be seen that this time the third girl of the Xie family is angry, and she doesn't care about anything, and she is the most important thing to get angry.

For a while, Liu Rui thought again, about His Majesty was also angry, and he didn't even ask someone to fill in this pit, since this is the case, he is also annoying as a slave, don't remind him, just let this pit stay for a few more days.

Thinking that tomorrow is the great morning day. When the civil and military officials entered the palace, what was the mood of seeing this big pit in the early dynasty, and Liu Rui couldn't help but want to snicker.

When he arrived at Xie's house, he quickly cleaned up his mood. Entering the house with a sad face, Liu Rui saw that the three masters of the Xie family were still calm, so he smiled and comforted: "Your Majesty is also angry to be like this, and it is really ...... Grandma Xie was a little inauthentic, and dug such a big pit so that the miscellaneous family could hang down. ”

Qi Tongsuo smiled: "I'm sorry." ”

Liu Rui hurriedly waved his hand: "It's nothing." The miscellaneous family is just paying lip service, but I don't blame you. It's just that these days, please be cautious about the old lady, can your family not go out or don't go out to attract attention. ”

Old Madam Xie nodded palely, and thanked Liu Rui again. Asked Xie Dingguo to send Liu Rui out.

Liu Rui came out of the Xie family, looked back at the courtyard wall made of green bricks of the Xie family, which now looks a little dilapidated, and then thought that the Xie family is now only an old man, a stupid and a crazy three, and it is also full of feelings.

Thinking of Mrs. Xie's resolute decision to hit the pillar and die, Liu Rui's heart was heavy, and he only felt a little out of breath.

On the way back to the palace, Liu Rui thought about a lot of things, and when he was about to get to the palace gate, he got off the sedan chair. deliberately walked around in front of the big pit, deliberately tripped over a large bluestone slab, and hit his head and broke the bloodstream.

Covering his head and lame, Liu Rui entered Zichen Palace to give his decree. At that time, Emperor Chengping was looking at the excerpts, and when he looked up, he was frightened when he saw Liu Rui coming in covered in blood.

"Liu Rui, what are you? Didn't you get beaten at Xie's house? ”

Liu Ruixin said Your Majesty, you still know that your will is not authentic, and you know that the slave will attract people's dislike, but he said: "No." No, the slave went to the Xie family to pass the decree. The Xie family was very polite to the minions, and Xie Xiaoye also told the minions that he didn't know what was going on at the time, as if he had dug such a big pit as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, and he regretted it when he went back. ”

When Emperor Chengping heard this, his heart was a little more comfortable, but he still pretended to be extremely angry on his face, and snorted coldly: "He still knows what it means to be wrong, dare to dig a pit for me at the gate of the palace, and I don't care about my temper, otherwise I have to cut off his head." ”

Liu Rui laughed: "What is Your Majesty talking to him, that Xie Xiaoye was scared in the early years, and now he is a madman, and now he is sick outside, you are the Supreme of the Nine Kings of the Holy Tomorrow, and you can't compete with a madman." ”

Emperor Chengping was even more calm: "This is also true, the prime minister's stomach can support the boat, and I am more broad-minded, so I will forgive him." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chengping asked Liu Rui with concern; "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Rui smiled bitterly: "Didn't I stumble on the way back, it's also the slave's bad luck today, I usually fell and nothing happened, but now I not only twisted my foot, but also broke my head." ”

"You're also old, and you can't compare to being young." Emperor Chengping comforted him and waved his hand again: "Even if you are injured, go find a doctor to get some medicine, and you can rest for a few days." ”

"Thank you." Liu Rui hurriedly saluted, and then raised his head and glanced at Emperor Chengping carefully: "Your Majesty, the slave is not young now, and he also feels that his energy is not continuous, this body is not as good as day by day, and the slave wants to be able to tell the old man and leave the palace......"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Chengping raised his head and stared at Liu Rui fiercely, which startled Liu Rui a lot, and he finished his words tremblingly: "If Your Majesty can use the slave, the slave will be sure to have no words, and he must serve His Majesty well, but in ordinary times, the slave wants to go out of the palace to teach and teach the slave's pair of unsuccessful children." ”

Emperor Chengping didn't say anything, but he was a little reluctant, and he squinted his eyes slightly after thinking for a while: "Also, you are not young anymore, since you want to enjoy Qingfu, then rest, in this way, you hand over the things around you to Wei Mu, and find a time to get out of the palace." ”

Liu Rui was full of excitement when he heard this, and quickly struggled to kneel on the ground and snorted several times, oversnorted, and the blood on his forehead flowed out again, making the whole person look quite miserable, which made Emperor Chengping feel a little unbearable.

"Well, it's all like this, why don't you go back and rest." Emperor Chengping scolded Liu Rui angrily: "The dog kills talents, don't you still want to ask me to ask you to go back?" ”

Liu Rui got up and smiled: "The slave is also reluctant to give His Majesty a few heads." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Rui couldn't hold back in the end, and a few tears flashed in his eyes.

He quickly bowed his head and bowed out.

As soon as Liu Rui left, Emperor Chengping was quite reluctant, and he couldn't come back to his senses after sitting behind the imperial case for a while. (To be continued.) )
