Chapter 8 Walking is the best policy

When the carriage left Yuhua Alley, there was a sudden sound of smashing from the carriage. Seeing this, Bai You didn't dare to say anything to be shocked, he had followed the little emperor for many years, and he knew that in the face of Situ Buqi's repeated refusals, the little emperor was already really angry...... So, the sound of the whip driving the horses in his hand was also pressed as low as possible, and he didn't dare to touch the little emperor's moldy head at this time.

Finally waited until the carriage drove into the palace, and the little emperor returned to the upper study, but the little emperor's residual anger was still not gone.

"Your Majesty is angry, the dragon body is important, don't hurt Your Majesty for this little thing, the dragon body ......" Although Bai You didn't want to touch his head at this time, he had to persuade him because of his duty.

"A trifle? Do you think it's a trivial matter? The little emperor said angrily at Bai You.

"Your Majesty is angry, the slave deserves death...... Bai You hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Did you hear what he said? If I forcibly force him to become an official? And he died to me,...... This is the loyal and virtuous minister I have always thought of as having good grace! ”

The little emperor scolded from the bottom of his heart: "Situ Buqi, this old horseman, is really shameless, if it weren't for Gu Nianzhen's feelings for the old lady, did he think I really wouldn't dare to kill him?" He is only a white coat now, and he dares to threaten me, who does he think he is? ”

"Your Majesty is angry, take the dragon body as the most important thing......" Bai You knelt on the ground and said persuasively.

With a "snap", the little emperor smashed an inkstone on the ground, the inkstone fell apart, and the little emperor scolded: "Xiahou Xuanba, this old thief is powerful, right? I haven't killed you yet...... Did he think he was even more powerful than the old thief Xiahou Xuanba? ”

"Your Majesty is angry! Rest your anger! Bai You's head knocked on the ground, just trying to persuade the little emperor to take care of the dragon's body, but he didn't dare to answer the little emperor's words.

The little emperor looked at Bai You who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly squatted down, patted Bai You's shoulder, pointed to the blood on the ground, smiled coldly, and said lifelessly: "Look at... The blood on the ground has dried up, should I kill a few more people to continue staining it? ”

Bai You's eyes followed the little emperor's point, and he couldn't help but retch, the blood stains on this hall were all left by the siege and killing of Xiahou Xuanba that day, and the little emperor didn't allow anyone to clean up the bloodstains, saying that he wanted to let these blood stains stay on the ground to warn those who came after...... Although it has been a long time now, the blood stains have long since dried up, and there is no smell of blood, but when Bai You looks at the black and purple dried blood marks, he can't help but recall the scene when he besieged Xiahou Xuanba. Since Xiahou Xuanba was killed, Bai You noticed that the little emperor was becoming more and more tyrannical, more and more moody, and often drew his sword against each other when he disagreed. In the past, there was Xiahou Xuanba, and the little emperor didn't dare to go too far, but now after Xiahou Xuanba was killed, the little emperor was like an evil dragon that had been shackled...... Even, after Xiahou Xuanba was killed, Bai You also had nightmares for several nights, dreaming of no one else, it was the first emperor Longshuo, in the dream... Emperor Longshuo pointed a sword at him, angrily accusing him of eunuch interference in politics and urging His Majesty to kill loyal ministers and virtuous people...... And Xiahou Xuanba stood behind Emperor Longshuo with the old lady, obviously they were all loyal ministers, and they were traitors...... Although, this dream Bai You has always been buried in his heart and does not dare to mention it to anyone. But whenever I walk into this study, I always think of what Xiahou Xuanba said to the little emperor before he died. At that time, Xiahou Xuanba said the last words to the little emperor (he is worthy of his heart, and the great secluded country will die at the hands of the faint monarch and the traitorous eunuch). Bai You asked himself, everything he did was just to be loyal to His Majesty, not to be a traitor.

"I'm talking to you? How dare you wander? The little emperor snapped and kicked Bai You to the ground.

Bai You came to his senses and hurriedly began to kowtow and apologize: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the slave deserves death......

The little emperor stared at Bai You for a long time, and then walked towards Bai You, Bai You was frightened when he saw this, but he didn't dare to dodge.

But seeing that the little emperor actually supported Bai You with both hands, his face changed from the anger he had just now, but instead gently dusted Bai You's body, and said: "It's me who is impulsive, I shouldn't treat you like this." ”

"Your Majesty has tormented the slaves...... Slaves and maids deserve death. Bai You hurriedly knelt on the ground.

The little emperor helped Bai You up again, and said earnestly: "You are the only one who can be completely relieved by my side now, you must help ......me well."

"Your Majesty...... The slave maid's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon, and she is willing to break her bones for Your Majesty......" Bai You hurriedly said.

"Yes, I believe in it." The little emperor patted Bai You on the shoulder and said, "Situ Buqi, this old puppet would rather die than be used by me, what do you say?" He is no better than Xiahou, and he can't be killed, but if he is allowed to go on like this, I will not be happy...... I think I treat him well, why doesn't he know about Entu? ”

Seeing that the little emperor began to talk to him about political affairs, Bai You also hurriedly turned his brain, and suddenly, Bai You had a flash of inspiration, looked at the little emperor and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the slave has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

"What's your plan?" The little emperor asked.

Bai You looked at the little emperor and said: "The slave maid thinks that Situ Buqi doesn't really want to enter the court as an official, but because the old lady has his last words first, he doesn't want to disobey!" In this case, the slave maid thinks that His Majesty should no longer force him, but should show him more grace. ”

The little emperor frowned when he heard this, glanced at Bai You, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is your plan?" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, please listen to the slave and maid." Bai You continued: "The slave maid heard that Situ Buqi had an only daughter, and Situ Buqi was very fond of her and regarded her as a pearl in his palm......

When the little emperor heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "What do you mean ......?"

Bai You also laughed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty should also think about the royal blood now, as long as Your Majesty makes Situ Buqi's daughter the queen, then, Situ's family will enjoy all the honors, Situ Buqi will be the national abbot, at that time, what does it matter if he is willing to be an official or not?" If Your Majesty can let Miss Situ give birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty as soon as possible, why worry that Situ will not do his best to solve problems for His Majesty? ”

"Haha......" The little emperor couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said excitedly: "Okay, I will order Nasitu not to make his daughter the queen tomorrow, and I have given him such a great honor for the Situ family, see how he still refuses my request?" ”

The little emperor turned around, patted Bai You on the shoulder, and said with a look of admiration: "Aiqing is worthy of being my right-hand man and the minister of the humerus, this is really the best policy!" I will reward you heavily, saying... I will not refuse to give you any reward you want. ”

"The slave and maid are ashamed, it is the blessing of the slave and maid to be able to share the worries of His Majesty......" Bai You hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

……

……

Taishifu.

After Situ Buqi sent the little emperor out of the mansion, he walked straight towards Situ Luqi's room in the backyard.

Situ Luqi naturally hadn't fallen asleep at this time, in fact, since she received Mu Qiuhuang's letter a few days ago, she hadn't slept well in the past few nights. When she received Mu Qiuhuang's letter, she was extremely happy, but when she opened the envelope with joy, her mood gradually turned from joy to sadness...... It turned out that in the letter, Mu Qiuhuang told Situ Luqi all about his marriage with Ji Ruoxue without reservation.

Therefore, in the past few days, Situ Luqi's mood is not very good, although Mu Qiuhuang's letter has relieved the pain of lovesickness, but the content written in the letter is what she did not expect. However, except for Situ Luqi, who initially complained about Mu Qiuhuang's lack of affection, he gradually figured it out in the next few days, at least, Mu Qiuhuang told her frankly, it was better than deceiving her. Moreover, through Mu Qiuhuang's words, she also confirmed that Mu Qiuhuang actually had feelings for her. And what she wants to do most now is to find Mu Qiuhuang, she wants to see what the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion who is engaged to Mu Qiuhuang looks like? How can she replace her position in Mu Qiuhuang's heart? …… She didn't plan to part with Mu Qiuhuang, on the contrary, she planned to work hard for her happiness. It's just that the only thing she is worried about now is whether her father will allow her to find Mu Qiuhuang? So, she made the boldest decision in her life, and she had packed her baggage. She was going to tell her father first, and if he didn't allow it, she would run away from home. She remembered that in the letter, Mu Qiuhuang had said that the Miss Hou Mansion had run away from home...... Out of the woman's careful thinking, she didn't think she would be worse than that woman at any point.

"Father, why haven't you rested so late?" Situ Luqi opened his mouth to ask, but he was uneasy in his heart, could it be that his father knew his mind so he came to stop him?

"Quick, pack up the baggage, we're going to leave Kyoto overnight tonight."

Situ Luqi didn't expect that the first thing her father said when he saw her was this.

"Father, what the hell is going on?" Situ Luqi couldn't help but say worriedly.

"I don't have time to explain more to you." Situ Buqi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has just come and wanted to invite me to the court as an official, but I refused." He's just done something to kill me. ”

"Ahh Situ Luqi couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, he ...... How dare he? ”

"He can't take it for granted anymore......" Situ Buqi looked at Situ Luqi and said: "You hurry up and clean up, we have to leave overnight, I'm afraid now, Your Majesty suddenly reacted and hit your mind on you." Invite me to be an official, and I can use your grandfather as a block. But if he wants to accept you as his queen, the father will not know how to refuse, so ...... It's better to go for the best policy. ”

"Ahh

Situ Luqi was taken aback, and muttered, "Why don't you be a queen for your daughter?" ”

"Then you don't hurry up and pack your things, if we can't get out of the city before dawn, it will be dangerous." Situ Buqi urged.

Seeing Situ Luqi turn around and take out the package that had been prepared from under the bed, Situ Buqi couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't say anything, but hurriedly took her and quietly left the Taishi Mansion......
