Chapter 309: Showdown
"The emperor is in the palace, he is already busy, on the one hand, he has to study political affairs, and on the other hand, he has to plan his body, and there is no time to withdraw, not to mention that the matter of the emperor's heir is a big event, Concubine Lan was born prematurely, and it is necessary to find out." Huo Shijiu is gentle and calm, and his voice is low and gentle, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they hear it.
The loneliest thing about the little emperor is that he has been hiding for many years and has a reputation of being a playful and faint king, but few people can know his true ambitions, and the most happy thing is to hear these words of understanding, and he feels guilty for a while and rejoices. In addition, he has always liked beautiful people, which can be seen from the clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes of the people who serve him, Huo Shijiu is also a beauty with the spirit of a dragon and a phoenix, and now he is seriously ill and more noble and gentle, and the little emperor likes it more and more in his heart.
"Brother Ying, don't blame me for ignoring you for many days."
"Where the words. In the minister's illness, he really felt guilty when he couldn't share his worries for the emperor. Huo Shijiu gave Cao Yu a look. Cao Yu immediately nodded to Jiang Yu knowingly, and the two of them retreated, and Jing Tong didn't want to stay long when he saw this.
After they left, there were only the emperor and Huo Shijiu in the house, and the latter asked, "Can the emperor find out the clues?" What happened to Concubine Lan? And is the little prince okay these days? ”
After the little emperor investigated thoroughly, he found that Concubine Lan did indeed slip and fall down when she got up at night, and did not notice anything suspicious, not to mention that he killed all the people serving in Concubine Lan's palace in a fit of anger that day, even if he wanted to investigate further, there was no one to investigate, so he was only happy to put the charge on the head of the British prince.
Anyway, the British public crime is extremely heinous, and this crime is not too much for him and Huo Shijiu.
The little emperor said sadly: "I really found out, it was done by the British public." Poor Concubine Lan is so young...... also left Brother Ling. ”
The little prince was named Chen Ling.
Huo Nineteen sighed heavily.
The little emperor turned to smile and said, "Brother Ying doesn't have to be too sad. That's it. Let's just ask him to report it in the future. Fortunately, Brother Ling is safe for the time being. There are several doctors in the hospital who tried their best to treat them. The chance of wanting to save his life is also very high, but the imperial doctor also said that Brother Ling was born with congenital deficiencies, and his lungs were not all good before he was born, and he was afraid that he would be weak in the future. ”
Although he was persuading Huo Shijiu, the little emperor also felt that his chest was suffocated and out of breath when he said this.
Although he was young and lacked the love of his parents since he was a child, his son was born like a kitten. was also predicted that he would be afraid of his life in the future, and there was a chubby seven-pound man who was almost one year old in the palace, and when he saw him, he would walk two steps quickly and call Daddy.
The little emperor felt really uncomfortable in his heart.
As everyone knows, Huo Nineteen's sigh was not what the little emperor thought.
It's that Huo Jiu didn't believe that Concubine Lan's death was done by the British public at all.
The kind of person who is extremely confident in his own methods, and has absolute confidence in front of him and the emperor, feels that as long as he moves his fingers, cleaning them up is no different from pinching an ant to death, such a confident person will harm Concubine Lan to give birth prematurely? According to his nature, he will watch the child be born. It would be more appropriate to let the emperor have fun first, and then slowly kill this child.
But anyway. Since the little emperor said so, so be it. Maybe his analysis was wrong, and I don't know.
"Your Majesty, this period of spring is in full bloom, and the British public is also diligent when he comes out and walks around. If you want to have an opportunity to act in the near future, you don't have to be too anxious, wait for the ministers to get better, and then you can plan your next move. ”
Action, action, this has been dragging on for so long. It is true that it was because the time was not ripe before, but during this time, Huo Nineteen clearly had the element of deliberate delay.
The little emperor knew that he carried the seven catties into the palace, and that day, regardless of Huo Shijiu's whole clan, he destroyed the seven clans of the Xu family, which really made him angry. And the little emperor also knew that he was really wrong under his impulse at that time. It can be seen from the reactions of the people and officials today that his image is no longer known as an emperor who has not grown up and is a bit playful and unexpected, but a tyrant whose personality has gradually become extreme.
When the Xu family incident did not happen earlier, all the reasons for his badness were attributed to Huo Shijiu. It was he who carried all the infamy on his behalf, making people think that he was still good as a king, and the bad thing was that the people around him had tired him.
But now, the image that was so easy to erect was completely destroyed by himself in a fit of anger.
The little emperor finally understood what it meant to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, and at this time he wanted Huo Shijiu to help him out of the siege, but he couldn't open his mouth. Because Huo Nineteen's "black cauldron" has been "peaked", the rivers and lakes wanted to kill Huo Nineteen for the ten thousand taels of silver before they almost turned the Huo family upside down.
In this case, even if the little emperor wanted Huo Shijiu to continue to carry forward the black cauldron that had reached the peak, he couldn't open his mouth.
The little emperor smiled, and did not refute Huo Nineteen's words, but only instructed: "Brother Ying's deployment, I am naturally relieved. Just wait to hear your good news. ”
He couldn't help his words, his smile was stiff, where could Huo Nineteen not see it? I closed my eyes, and the seeds of disappointment that had taken root in my heart these days seemed to have been watered again.
In fact, he is almost 30 years old, and he has seen a lot of the hot and cold world, and has been immersed in officialdom for many years, how can he not know what human nature is? He had a simple hope for the child in front of him, hoping that the relationship between them would not be known, but it was actually his delusion. It's that he asks too much, and he can't complain about others when he is disappointed.
"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers have done their best for the emperor and died. It's worth everything. ”
Huo Shijiu's serious words made the little emperor's heart warm as if the ice and snow were melting, and the anxiety and restlessness that had been hanging in the palace these days had also gone for the most part at this time. He said: "With Brother Ying here, I can naturally rest assured, and when there is trouble in the future, I will definitely thank Brother Ying." ”
"That's not necessary." Huo Jiu said with a smile: "It is right for the minister to do things for the emperor, where do you need the emperor to say thank you?" It's just that now, the British Duke has already dealt with Concubine Lan, and the next one to deal with is probably the little prince. The emperor should also take precautions. ”
There was a pause in his tone. Then he took counsel and said, "These days he is sick. I often think of the cute appearance of seven catties. I wonder if the emperor can allow the minister to take the child back to the house to live for a while? The minister's parents and grandchildren also miss it tightly. ”
What Huo Shijiu said was reasonable, and the little emperor who didn't know the inside story didn't know that this was a temptation.
Just outside, Jiang Yu also said the same thing as Huo Shijiu, how did the little emperor refute it, and how he said it now.
He didn't see the displeasure on Huo Shijiu's face, but when he said later, "It's better for Brother Ying to talk to me now about how to deploy and arrange", Huo Shijiu deduced that he was tired and was not sober at this time. Or will I explain it later.
The little emperor's cheerful mood immediately thought that he had been doused with cold water. Cooled most of it.
He's not stupid. Huo Nineteen was dissatisfied with him for taking his son, which was obvious.
Isn't he also thinking about the world of the Chen family? Even Jing and the eunuch understood that the world was the world of the Chen family, and the people were the people of the Chen family, and he took away seven catties because he could afford to look down on the Huo family, could Huo Nineteen not understand?
The rumors have been circulating outside this matter for a long time, and the matter has been settled, so what else does he have to worry about? Could it be that he can still treat seven pounds badly?
"In this case, Brother Ying will be able to recuperate." The little emperor has been deliberately currying favor since he saw Huo Shijiu today, and now he finally can't smile with a tense face. He felt that his patience had reached the limit, and he stood up openly. Said: "I also went back to the palace, if I am unlucky." Tell the British to start first, and I will admit it. He turned around and left.
Huo Jiujiu looked at the back of the little emperor, sighed lightly, and only said, "Sure enough." ”
The little emperor suddenly stopped, his eyes wide open.
What does that mean!?
Huo Jiu smiled and said, "The emperor has finally grown up and knows how to weigh the pros and cons...... In fact, the emperor doesn't have to be like this at all, even if it is difficult to do what you command, when will the minister resist the decree and disrespect it? Even let the minister's only son go to the palace to live, didn't the minister obey the order? It's just acting according to the original plan, so why bother the emperor? Is the emperor also worried these days? The minister did not dare to bully the king, and the minister was also worried. Chen didn't want to see that the plans he had made over the years would be ruined on a Xu family. But it has come to this, and it is useless to think about it. The minister does not complain about the emperor, because the pain and grievances that have accumulated in the emperor's heart for many years will not be understood by others, but the minister knows best. Chan just thinks...... Exhaustion. ”
Huo Shijiu had already gotten off the ground while speaking, and slowly walked towards the little emperor, his voice was still smiling: "Your Majesty, the ministers will help you solve this matter, after your position is stabilized, can you return the seven catties to the ministers, the ministers are willing to hand over the power to the old man, take the whole family back to the countryside to farm, only be a common man, and never get involved in state affairs again." ”
The little emperor's originally wide eyes became more and more round, there was joy, reluctance, incomprehension, and sadness in his eyes, and many emotions were churning like terrifying waves, and finally he couldn't hide the excitement in his expression, and his voice trembled slightly: "Brother Ying...... What do you say? ”
Huo Shijiu sighed again: "The minister has been open and honest with the emperor today, what else does the emperor have to worry about?" These days, the emperor's worries and ministers have also felt a little. You are the monarch of the minister, but you are also the child of the minister watching him grow up, what you think in your heart, the minister can not understand it better. You let seven catties into the palace, in addition to the superficial meaning of not entering the stream, are you not worried that the minister will become the second British prince after killing the British Duke for you in the future? ”
I didn't expect him to spread out these words!
The little emperor turned around suddenly, his face flushed, and his expression was flustered and excited, "Brother Ying, you really think too much, where would I think like this." (To be continued......)
