545: The Emperor's Mind (4000 words)

Many people looked at this Lord Luo with curious eyes.

The big family of the Luo family really doesn't plan to forget those hatreds.

In the past, although many people from the Luo family were involved, Luo Yu, a young soldier in front of him, was not involved.

Emperor Yuan Ding was generous and forgave them as distant relatives.

After that, Yan Ji was often promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Luo Yu, who escaped the catastrophe, also became a member of the Ministry of War.

In fact, everyone knows that Luo Yu can escape the implication, it is nothing more than the Bo family's efforts, and the current military department is very chaotic, half of it belongs to the Shen family, and half of it belongs to Bo Xiang.

Bo Xiang will meddle in the military department, and he is so open-minded, no one can be sure whether it is Emperor Yuan Ding's intention.

The thoughts of this emperor are much more difficult to guess than those of the previous emperors.

As soon as Luo Yu's words fell, Yan Jichang laughed, "My lord, why do you say this, Old Lady Yu is indeed my father-in-law, but I bought timber from the Yu family's trading house, which is recorded, and this matter, I have also discussed it with Your Majesty, and Your Majesty agreed!" As for you saying that I leaked the drawings, Lord Luo, you can't talk nonsense! ”

In fact, there are other purposes for building this Tianchi.

It's just that only a few people know this purpose.

Neither Emperor Yuan Ding nor Yan Jichang wanted to know the reason.

Luo Yu raised his head, waved his hands and continued to say to Emperor Yuanding, "Your Majesty, the minister's words are true, and there is absolutely no deception!" ”

"True?" Although the Duke of Dingguo, who rarely spoke at the imperial court, did not speak, Lord Zheng, who was not far from him, did. "Lord Luo and I are both working in the military department, and we have also had contact with Lord Yan over the years, but the drawings that Lord Luo said, let alone the whole set of drawings, I haven't even seen a shadow! In the military department, Lord Luo is not the only one involved in this matter, there are other people! ”

As soon as Master Zheng's words fell, Luo Yu laughed.

He was young and vigorous, and when he laughed, his lips were full of sarcasm.

Such people. It's eye-catching. Just looking at it like this, it makes people feel full of vitality.

However, Yan Ji often stood by Luo Yu's side, but he did not lose to Luo Yu in terms of momentum.

Although he is much older than Luo Yu. But the body is as tall as a pine. Silver mask on the face. The silver pale light softened a lot.

Yan Ji's words and demeanors are all elegant.

Yan Ji has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years and has long known the people in the Ministry of Industry. Not everyone is clean.

Therefore, he is not too surprised that there will be such a situation.

On the contrary, after hearing this, Luo Yu shook his head and said, "Lord Zheng, what if I came up with evidence?" ”

"Evidence?" Master Zheng also laughed, he was much older than Luo Yu, and his face was already covered with wind and frost, "Then you have to take it out!" ”

When Luo Yu heard this, he immediately said, "Okay! ”

He leaned down, folded his hands, and said to Emperor Yuan Ding, "Your Majesty, please let the ministers send the drawings they got to you!" ”

Tianchi has a lot of drawings, a thick stack, and it is naturally impossible for him to carry it with him. Therefore, he left the drawings in the palanquin outside the palace, and as long as he sent someone to pick them up, he could send them to Emperor Yuan Ding safely.

Only, who should this person send?

Emperor Yuan Ding is not very old, but his face is already full of vicissitudes, and his black bun has been mixed with a lot of silver threads. He raised his hand and rubbed his brow, glanced at the person standing under his seat, and finally his gaze fell on the corner.

He thought for a moment before he said, "Really? So Luo Aiqing thinks, who should take this drawing? ”

"This ......" Luo Yu hesitated a little, he didn't dare to look at anyone, and only said after half a ring, "Your Majesty is in charge!" ”

Emperor Yuan Ding put down the hand holding his forehead, and then said in a flat tone, "Xie Xiang, please go and get it!" ”

As soon as Emperor Yuan Ding's voice fell, the court returned to quiet, and even a silver needle fell to the ground, and the sound of landing could be heard.

It's been many years......

Emperor Yuan Ding never mentioned Xie Xiang's name in the court.

Xie Xiang's name is like a forbidden word of Emperor Yuan Ding, if he doesn't mention it, no one is willing to mention this person's name in front of him.

Now, when everyone is used to it, Xie Xiang is just an ornament, but Emperor Yuan Ding suddenly shouted out Xie Xiang's name.

Xie Xiang saluted, and his tone was neither humble nor humble, "Minister, take orders!" ”

In Bo Xiang, who was not far away, after glancing at Xie Xiang, his brows frowned slightly.

Dayan's left minister is actually in charge of more things than the right phase, if Xie Xiang's son Changrui Gongzi didn't do anything wrong, then no one could extinguish Xie Xiang's prestige. After Changrui's death, Emperor Yuan Ding and the Bo family guarded against Xie Xiang, and Xie Xiang himself had little strength, and it was only in the past few years that he gradually declined......

However, no one knows what happened.

Some time ago, Xie Xiang, who had always been silent, suddenly made a move.

His private life has been much more restrained than before, and he has also begun to strengthen his body, and even his subordinates who should have been dismissed have been summoned again.

Bo Xiang didn't pay attention to it at first, he didn't think that a waste son could toss any storms.

Now it looks ......

He still seems to be underestimating this old thing.

Bo Xiang's gaze, after Xie Xiang left, became deeper and deeper, like thick ink that could not be dissolved in the dark night.

During the time Xie Xiang left, no one spoke.

The little eunuch standing beside Emperor Yuan Ding, when he handed over the teacup, Emperor Yuan Ding didn't reach out to take it.

He just looked at the person standing under the seat so quietly, there was a deep trace of the word 'Chuan' between his eyebrows, obviously over the years, he frowned a lot of times, so he left such a mark.

The little eunuch saw that Emperor Yuan Ding no longer took the teacup, so he withdrew his hand again, turned around and left with the teacup.

The ministers standing below were even more curious and no longer dared to wait and see.

Emperor Yuan Ding liked to drink tea since he was a child, so when he was in the court, he often drank tea to quench his thirst. The only time in his life that he didn't drink tea and dropped the teacup was when he heard that he was in prison. The king of Jinnan rebelled.

If Emperor Yuan Ding didn't even touch the tea, then this matter would definitely be a big trouble.

After a long time, when Emperor Yuan Ding's patience was about to be consumed, Xie Xiangcai walked in slowly from outside the hall.

He was holding a thick stack of drawings in his hand, and it was very spectacular from a distance.

The paper of these drawings is a tribute to Suzhou, and the number of them every year is not much. It is generally used in the uterus. and the Ministry of Industry......

When Yuan Ding saw the paper clearly. There was a little thoughtfulness in his expression, "Take it!" ”

Xie Xiang nodded and handed the thing over, when the little eunuch was about to raise his hand to pick it up. Emperor Yuan Ding spoke again. "No need. Let Xie Xiang send it up! ”

As soon as Emperor Yuan Ding's words fell, the little eunuch's hand froze.

At this time, I don't know who took a breath of cold air. It makes the atmosphere even colder. They looked like they were standing in the snow, shivering from the cold.

Emperor Yuan Ding ascended the throne early, and when he dealt with state affairs, he was just a child who had not yet performed the crown ceremony.

However, his methods have never been what a child should have.

When he said that he wanted to destroy anyone's clan, he did not relent.

Back then, because of the affairs of King Jinnan, there was even more blood in Kyoto.

That great blood also swept away a lot of thorns on the road to the throne for Emperor Yuan Ding.

After so many years, Emperor Yuan Ding's eyebrows are still as gentle as they were at the beginning, but the anger on his body has not changed in the slightest, and it seems that it is increasing day by day.

Who would dare to offend such a person.

Xie Xiang walked up, held up his hands and handed over the drawings, Emperor Yuan Ding glanced at it a few times, and then shouted, "Bold!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the ministers knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to look at Emperor Yuan Ding's eyes.

Only Xie Xiang was still leaning over, not kneeling like everyone else.

"Say!" Emperor Yuan Ding waved his hand, and then looked at Luo Yu not far away, "What's going on?" Where did you get the drawings? ”

Emperor Yuan Ding's question made Luo Yu stunned, and he hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Majesty, I inquired about it in the firm!" ”

"Inquiring?" Emperor Yuan Ding casually pulled up a drawing, "So you mean, you drew these drawings?" ”

Luo Yu is a person who practices martial arts, how could he depict such a detailed drawing, he was frightened and hurriedly explained, "No, Your Majesty, the minister bought it in a trading house!" ”

"Whose hands is that trading house from?" Emperor Yuan Ding obviously will not be easily fooled, "You brought people, I have to ask clearly!" ”

The current situation is actually not quite the same as Luo Yu thought.

After Emperor Yuan Ding looked at the drawings, he should be angry with Yan Jichang, not at him.

Why, why...... Will find trouble with him.

Fortunately, Luo Yu was prepared, and he brought the human certificate into the main hall.

This person is the shopkeeper of the grain merchant king in the west market of the capital.

The shopkeeper Wang told Emperor Yuan Ding that he got it from Old Lady Yu, and he gave Old Lady Yu an eagle in exchange, and it was very easy to get.

The fact that Old Lady Yu likes eagles is not a secret thing, and now Old Lady Yu has two golden eagles in his hands.

After the shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, Ding Guogong couldn't help laughing, "This old lady Yu will actually exchange the drawings for your eagle?" I remember when Yanshan wanted to give Xiao Hei Xiaobai to Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Yu said that it was enough to have two at home, and there was more hemp ...... I'm afraid that I will be boiled in soup by Mrs. Yu! ”

This sentence made many ministers cover their mouths and laugh.

The fear of guilt is indeed a bit ridiculous.

Everyone knows that the two eagles in Shen Yanshan's hands are very rare Haidongqing.

Shen Yanshan's temper is unpredictable, so it is not uncommon for Dingguo Gong to say that Shen Yanshan wants to give this pair of Haidongqing to Old Lady Yu.

After all, no one knows what he's thinking.

If Old Lady Yu can't even look down on Shen Yanshan's Hai Dongqing, then how can he accept this shopkeeper's eagle?

Shopkeeper Wang was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, how dare Xiaomin deceive you, the old man of the Yu family, he really accepted Xiaomin's things!" ”

"If the shopkeeper Wang must give it to Old Man Yu, in order to take care of your face, Old Man Yu will definitely accept it, right?" Master Zheng answered again, "Shopkeeper Wang, do you know that if you lie in front of Your Majesty, you will not only be plucked out of your tongue, but you will also be divided by five horses!" ”

When Luo Yu heard this, he frowned and said, "Lord Zheng's words are serious!" The shopkeeper of the king is just a commoner, and you are actually in front of His Majesty, scaring him so much, what do you still have? ”

"Intentions? Lord Luo really wronged me! Master Zheng smiled, "Although I am not in the Criminal Department, I know the laws of Dayan thoroughly!" I'm just that, is that a lie? ”

Lord Zheng's words made Luo Yu speechless.

None of what he said was false.

If someone dares to deceive Emperor Yuan Ding, in fact, it is not necessarily as simple as dividing the corpse of five horses, although Emperor Yuan Ding is kind on the surface, but in his heart he is bloodthirsty than anyone else.

At this time, Emperor Yuan Ding smiled, looked at the arguing ministers in the court, and did not speak.

When Lord Luo and Master Zheng were arguing with dry mouths, he said slowly, "Xie Xiang, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"The Ministry of Industry is not under the control of the ministers, and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry have been taken care of by the right minister over the years!" Xie Xiang leaned down and rubbed his hands together, "These drawings, in the eyes of the minister, are actually the same!" However, since Lord Luo said that this is the drawings of Tianchi, then it is time for Lord Yan to see for himself whether these are the drawings of Tianchi. Moreover, the Ministry of Industry must not be the only one who knows what this drawing is like, and others also know a little. Your Majesty, please invite them to come and see it too! ”

The smile on Emperor Yuanding's lips gradually disappeared, "What you said is true!" ”

He looked at Yan Jichang, then grabbed the drawing from the side and threw it down.

The drawings were light, and when they were thrown away by Emperor Yuan Ding, they were scattered and fell to the ground, looking very messy.

"Yan Jichang, take a look, how these drawings were leaked!" Emperor Yuan Ding did not ask Yan Jichang if these drawings were from Tianchi, but directly asked Yan Jichang to explain how these drawings were leaked.

In his words, he actually affirmed that these drawings were indeed Tianchi's.

Yuan Ding's words made Luo Yu, who had always felt apprehensive, finally dare to raise his head to look at Yan Jichang's face.

Yan Jichang's temperament is very good.

However, although Yan Jichang's face was covered by a mask, Luo Yu still knew how hideous and disgusting it was underneath. He watched Yan Jichang stagger, kneeling on the ground and picking up the drawings, looking at them one by one.

These drawings, in fact, he has seen them himself.

It is indeed Tianchi's!

When he got his hands on the drawings, he knew his chance for revenge had come. If Yan Jichang hadn't been associated with the Shen family back then, who would have known that the reservoir in Ningzhou was not actually supervised by the Luo family?

If it weren't for Yan Jichang......

How could he be, now he is just a small soldier of the military department.

He is the most outstanding person in the younger generation of the Luo family.

This time, he must Yan family's room, and his family will be ruined.

Yan Ji used it for a long time to finish reading the drawings, and his expression was very depressed, I don't know whether he was sad or desperate.

His hand trembled slightly, "Back to Your Majesty, these are indeed the drawings of Tianchi!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, even Dingguo Gong, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but glance at him. (To be continued......)
