Chapter 311: Take the blame
The gift given by Li Changqing was indeed unexpected, and even the Queen Mother was shocked.
Even if there is no discord, this is a major matter of the country, and she can't stand idly by, and Mama Yu is still pleading beside her.
Overnight, it seemed that the entire situation was in turmoil.
"Your Majesty, if this continues, the victims of the disaster in the city will flood into the palace in the evening." A minister said.
"Where's the household? How is the granary cared for? Why did the good ones burn? The empress stood next to the old emperor and asked sharply.
"Back to the queen, according to the emperor's instructions yesterday, the old minister had already taken out some of the food from today's soup soup and ordered to boil rice porridge overnight, but this happened in a blink of an eye. The old minister was worried, so he ran to take a look at the thirty tuns of grain brought by the third prince of Ning, who had time to put it in the national warehouse, although the house was not burned, but all the grain was gone, and there was not even a trace on the ground......
"Bold, even the treasury dares to burn and steal! Who is so rampant? Xuanyuan Jing was angry like he had never been, his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, he reached out and pinched it, and said, "This thing, is it really nowhere to be found?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the old minister asked Jing Zhaoyin to come over and take a look, and he did it seamlessly, and he couldn't find the clue?"
"Your Majesty, this matter, I think, now that anger can't solve the problem, it's better to follow the ancestors' practice and borrow money from the people to save grain, but you can redeem it at a high amount." The Empress Dowager is well-informed in the end, this kind of thing is also reasonable, and now it is imperative to stabilize the people's hearts first, otherwise there will only be more and more refugees panicking and pouring into Beijing.
Even if the queen mother and the emperor are not on the same page now, if the Xuanyuan Dynasty falls, her position as the queen mother will not be stable.
When the old emperor heard that the Empress Dowager had built a complicated expression, "This private loan is also feasible, but now the treasury and silver are urgently used for disaster relief, if it is too high, I am afraid that the military salary will not be enough, this kind of thing, I have to think again." "The old emperor's words, weighing two aspects, in the end you still have to worry, you can't pick up the two burdens, it will be unbalanced, but the consequences are even more terrible, out of control.
When he thought of this, the old emperor suddenly remembered Li Changqing's words yesterday: I want you to know the end of treachery.
Thinking of this, the old emperor suddenly shook his whole body, could it be that this girl did it?
This thought made my heart even more anxious.
He got up and said to the crowd, "You all give me ideas, and I have to go out beforehand." ”
The old emperor did not wait for the Empress and the Empress Dowager to ask, and left in a hurry.
The spy he installed outside the door of the Six Princes' Mansion reported: This girl has not gone out since she entered the Six Princes' Mansion at night.
"Where's Chang'an?" The old emperor knew that Xuanyuan had woken up, and he was going to come over today, but when this happened in Beijing, he couldn't get out, and now he hurried all the way over, and he only brought Li Dequan with him, obviously he didn't want anyone to know.
However, the old emperor did not enter the mansion of the six princes, and was stopped in the end.
Therefore, standing at the door, he asked directly.
"Master. The emperor came and wanted to come in, but the attendants refused, and the emperor beat them in anger, but he still refused to let them in, but the emperor kept calling the county lord of Chang'an, and it seemed that he was looking for the county lord. "Listening to the song for the master to force out the cold on his body just now, coupled with the fatigue of the boat and car, he can barely support it, just rested, this matter continues to be reported by the cold shadow.
Li Changqing saw that Xuanyuan Qi's face could be better, so he said calmly: "I didn't expect the emperor to come up so quickly?" It's just that I can know that I'm here, I'm afraid, the Six Princes' Mansion is also being monitored, heh, I should have thought of it a long time ago. ”
As he spoke, he saw that Xuanyuan Qi didn't say a word, and said, "I'll go out, after all, it's a little inconvenient to let him in." ”
"No, Cold Shadow, take him to the hall."
"Don't be afraid, no matter what the emperor does, I will stand by your side." Xuanyuan Qi stepped forward, protected her waist, and gave her a reassuring pill.
"How could I be afraid? I'm just worried, if he gets, will you blame me? Li Changqing raised his head and met his dark eyes, waiting for him to answer.
If it was said before, Xuanyuan Qi would have answered in the affirmative, but now, that dream actually made his mood change a lot, and his always cold heart seemed to be a little shaken.
Li Changqing quickly lowered his head, his eyes darkened for a moment, and then he regained clarity again, and continued in a low voice: "I just asked casually, it's the emperor, how could I force him to a dead end, just give him a lesson, let him have a long insight, don't force me with the identity of the emperor at every turn, I just look so easy to bully?" ”
Li Changqing's last sentence made Xuanyuan Qi's tense nerves laugh, reached out and scratched her nose and said, "You are so bullying?" I can't see it. ”
With that, the two of them had already reached the hall.
Xuanyuan Jing watched Qi'er come in with Chang'an around his waist, and his face was almost black and could drip water.
"Chang'an, don't think that if I don't dare to touch you, I can do whatever I want." This is clearly a reminder to her not to take an inch.
"Your Majesty, every time you see Chang'an, you always say this, and if you talk too much, it won't work." Li Changqing first helped Xuanyuan Qi to sit down, and then walked to his side and sat down with him, looking at the old emperor calmly.
It should have been angry, seeing that his Yin Tang was black, I am afraid that he had just hurried over after a fruitless discussion.
"Your Majesty, this is my palace, please have something to talk about." Seeing Xuanyuan Jing again, Xuanyuan Qi's heart felt like a world away for no reason, and the scene of his sad death in the dream was clearly imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't help but have an unspeakable color in his heart.
"Did you send someone to do the fire in Kunokang?" The old emperor's tone was not much better, and when he saw Xuanyuan praying for a qiē health, he was slightly relieved.
"What does the emperor think?" Li Changqing smiled like a fox at this time, looking at Xuanyuan Jing's angry appearance, his eyes became more and more bright.
"I think that's it!"
"The emperor thinks so." Li Changqing was not ambiguous at this time, and continued: "Since the emperor has no faith in his words, why should I show mercy? ”
"You girl, how dare you argue with me?" Xuanyuan Jing obviously didn't expect it, he just guessed at random, and he knew the truth so quickly. But, in the end, he was still cold, how capable he should be to steal grain from the national warehouse and set it on fire.
Li Changqing glanced at Xuanyuan Jing, and saw that his expression was unpredictable, and he had already understood it in his heart.
"What is the emperor thinking?" Zhu lips opened lightly, and said: "The emperor should stop messing around, from beginning to end, it was the emperor who treacherously treacherously first." This was undoubtedly a warning to Xuanyuan Jing that if there was a second time, she might not do anything again.
"You-! How dare you disobey my will? ”
"Your Majesty, this is not disobedience, this is just a gift to the emperor. Why should the emperor be angry? This matter has come to this point, and the emperor is also to blame. ”
Xuanyuan Jing was angry by this sentence and didn't mention it in one breath, but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xuanyuan Qi's hand moved slightly, and his eyes lost his mind for a moment.
Alas, Li Changqing's sigh was tactful and light, do you want to forget it like this? She seemed a little unwilling.
