Chapter 266: Imperial Court Disputes
No, the consequence of laissez-faire is that Zuo Wei is becoming more and more proud, and his style of acting is less and less considerate of others.
One morning, the courtiers who were originally discussing national affairs glanced at each other and finally made up their minds.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." The old minister came out tremblingly and knelt on the ground.
"Elder Liu Ge, please speak." Tuoba Truss sat on the dragon chair, knowing very well what these ministers were going to say.
"Back to the emperor, since the last draft, it was good that you favored Concubine Rou, but now that it has involved the government and politics, please think twice." Although Liu Ge didn't say it explicitly, it was already clear to everyone that he was talking about Lord Zuo.
Zuo Wei secretly glanced at it when he heard this, and was indignant in his heart, the old thing belongs to him and talks a lot, don't let him find a chance, hehe.
"Liu Ge is wrong with this, now that I am in power, don't I know how to manage the government?" Tuoba Truss looked at Liu Ge Lao and the ministers with a gloomy face, and was quite irritable in his heart.
"Your Majesty thinks twice."
Liu Ge Lao knew that His Majesty was on the verge of anger now, but for the sake of the court, he had to say.
"Well... Good... Since you're so ignorant, don't blame me. ”
Zuo Wei was smug on the side, looking at those ministers with contempt, and didn't he look at His Majesty or the previous Majesty?
"Your Majesty..."The ministers lowered their heads, unwilling to touch the moldy heads.
Before, some people were still happy in their hearts, but now they are more uneasy.
"Elder Liu Ge, for the sake of doing your best before you, I am specially willing to allow you to return to your hometown." Tuoba said angrily.
"The emperor thinks twice!" Liu Ge's old hand trembled, unbelievable.
Tuoba Truss didn't speak, making it clear what he meant.
Liu Ge Lao left the court that disappointed him in frustration, glanced back at the emperor, and left with a sigh.
Zuo Wei took this opportunity to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to tell you. ”
Tuoba Truss pondered for a while, then said, "Say." ”
"Wechen has seen some dark things in officialdom, and I implore Your Majesty to let Wechen investigate thoroughly." Zuo Wei was respectful and earnest.
Tuoba Truss nodded, smiled and said, "In this way, I will leave this matter to Aiqing." ”
After Zuo Wei received the order, his heart was even more joyful. He didn't say anything clearly, and the emperor gave him the task, and now he believed that the emperor really trusted him.
"But is there anything else?" Tuoba Truss glanced at the people in the court and knew it in his heart.
No one answered, and Tuoba Truss asked the eunuch to announce his retreat from the court.
"Lord Zuo, congratulations!" As soon as some ministers retired from the court, they came directly to congratulate them, with a flattering tone in their tones.
Zuo Wei did not refuse their conversation, but chatted loudly with them.
Some people looked at this scene and shook their heads, the world is ordinary, and people's hearts are not ancient.
After Zuo Wei finished talking with them, he returned to the mansion in a very good mood.
"My lord, my lord invites you to talk in detail." The sudden appearance of the little guy startled Zuo Wei.
After Zuo Wei followed the little guy to the place where Tuoba Hanzhang was, he went alone.
"How? How's it going? Tuoba Hanzhang asked impatiently.
"Things are as expected, and there's good news."
Zuo Wei sold a pass and brought up Tuoba Hanzhang's interest.
"What's the good news?" Tuoba asked with a smile.
Looking at his expression, Zuo Wei was stunned in his heart, he remembered his previous methods, so he didn't dare to sell Guanzi.
"That's right, in the early days of the dynasty today, Liu Ge Lao asked the emperor to think twice, but the emperor resigned him, and then I took the opportunity to say that some officials are not what they seem, guess what?"
Halfway through speaking, Zuo Wei took a breath and continued, "He asked me to investigate thoroughly!" ”
Tuoba Hanzhang couldn't believe that things were going so smoothly.
"Did you think it could be him..."
"Impossible." Zuo Wei paused, "I mean that the emperor loves Zuo Xin'er now, and he can't extricate himself, and the promotion of my official position and the right to give me are all because of Zuo Xin'er." ”
Tuoba Hanzhang was skeptical, but the people in front of him believed it, so is it really that simple. If it's true, then this is a rare opportunity.
"Master, this opportunity is rare, if you don't take advantage of it, you will really miss the opportunity." Zuo Wei's persuasion is serious.
The master is suspicious, he knows. If it weren't for this opportunity, he wouldn't have wanted to be so urgent.
"In that case, let's have a good discussion."
The two of them hadn't slept all night, thinking about how to make things more beneficial to them.
In the following days, there were various upheavals in the imperial court. Every day, people are found out about the case, and every day there are people shouting grievances in the court.
However, Tuoba Truss only looked at the evidence given by Zuo Wei. As long as there is evidence, that person will definitely go into the cell.
"Alas, the sky is about to change." Some people sighed.
"I still have the heart to sigh there, it's better to deal with this crisis." Another person said sarcastically there.
Behind them, General Li felt more and more that this emperor was mediocre and was being led by others, so he simply couldn't see it and was not upset, and began to say that he was sick and didn't go to the court.
Tuoba Truss was also glad that General Li was an understanding person, so he also allowed it.
After that, Tuoba Truss saw that Zuo Wei was so hardworking, so he gave him the talisman to make it more convenient for him to do things.
General Li, who returned home, was relieved to hear the news, fortunately he left early, otherwise he would have suffered sooner or later.
"Father, what's going on lately?" Li Changge walked over slowly and asked.
"It's fine, it's just that there are more affairs between the DPRK and China in recent days, and my body can't keep up, so I am attracted to rest at home for a few more days."
General Li subconsciously didn't want Li Changge to know what had happened recently, and looked at his daughter in front of him, not knowing what to say.
"Then stay at home and spend more time with me." Li Changge smiled understandingly, and gently poured the brewed tea into the teacup as he spoke.
"Silly daughter, if you feel uncomfortable, tell your father." General Li looked at Li Changge with a sad expression.
The bright and beautiful daughter she used to be has now become a sensible and well-behaved person. He didn't protect his daughter well, it was he, the father, who was incapable.
"Father, are you thinking too much about it again?" When Li Changge saw General Li's expression, he knew that he was thinking nonsense again.
General Li smiled wryly.
"Father, my daughter is very good now, I wonder if I can let my daughter accompany you during this time?" Li Changge tilted his head and stuck out his tongue coquettishly.
"Good, good." General Li forgot his embarrassment just now, and instead smiled very happily.
………
"Niangniang, there is news from the left minister."
Zuo Xin'er was drawing her eyebrows in the mirror in the bedroom at this time, and when she heard the palace maid say this, her brows tightened.
"Show it to me." The palace maid handed the note to Zuo Xin'er.
Looking at this note, Zuo Xin'er felt a little bad for the third time.
She slowly opened the note, carefully read the words on it, she held the note tightly, and said nothing.
"Go, please see the Prime Minister." Zuo Xin'er's hand gradually relaxed, and gently rubbed his eyebrows to calm his mood.
An hour passed.
"Niangniang, the Prime Minister has arrived." The palace maid said at the door.
"Got it, I'll go to the palace right away." Zuo Xin'er tidied up her clothes and went to meet people.
Along the way, Zuo Xin'er's heart beat faster, and a series of abnormal reactions in her body told her that this meeting was extraordinary.
After Zuo Xin'er arrived at the place where they met, he asked the palace maid to wait aside and went in alone.
"My lord, what are you looking for me?" Zuo Xin'er sat aside and asked cautiously.
"That's right, because now that I have mastered the former dynasty and the talisman, now is a good time for us." Zuo Wei said excitedly, and in the middle of speaking, he stopped and looked at Zuo Xin'er: "You only need to do one thing now." ”
"What's the matter?" Zuo Xin'er asked suspiciously.
Now that the former dynasty is already under control, what else do you need her to do.
"Give!" Zuo Wei took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to Zuo Xin'er.
"What is this?" Zuo Xin'er asked curiously.
She looked at the bottle in her hand and felt nothing strange. I opened the cap and smelled it gently, but there was no smell.
"Poison." Zuo Wei sat on the chair and said casually, not realizing what he said about Zuo Xin'er.
"What the hell do you want me to do?" Zuo Xin'er placed the bottle aside, his eyes dark.
"Of course, this prescription is close to Tuoba Truss's diet, and I want you to see him eat it for yourself." Zuo Wei was not pretending at this time, but had a hideous face and was ruthless.
"We haven't already gotten the government, there's no need to ......" Zuo Xin'er was a little unbearable.
Although it is said that she entered the palace for a purpose at the beginning, after getting along for such a long time, she still developed feelings for him.
"You're in love with him?" Zuo Wei looked at Zuo Xin'er and asked rhetorically.
"No... No..."Zuo Xin'er shook her head in fear. She didn't dare admit it, and if she did, it was unknown what the consequences would be.
"It's better to think about your parents, as you say." Zuo Wei got up and glanced at the depressed Zuo Xin'er, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and he smiled sarcastically.
"You can't do this..."Zuo Xin'er was a little crazy, and gradually came back to his senses, "I'll just do it." ”
"It's an inquisitive one."
Zuo Wei chuckled, everything around him didn't affect him, he picked up the bottle on the table and threw it to Zuo Xin'er, then pushed open the door and walked out the door.
The left heart in the back sat on the ground, holding the bottle tightly in her hand, the ground made her hand cold, but she couldn't hold the cold in her heart.
She slowly got up and walked out the door, the sun outside was harsh, but she felt the cold wind biting.
After a while, she cheered up and returned to her palace.
"Come on, go to the imperial study and ask Your Majesty to come over, just say that the palace is not feeling well."
"Yes." When the palace maid heard the order, she hurriedly went to invite someone.
Zuo Xin'er opened the lid of the chicken soup that had been boiled before, and stirred it gently. He took out the bottle from his bosom and gently scattered the medicine into it.
After a while, Tuoba Truss rushed over and asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai?" What's uncomfortable? ”
Zuo Xin'er smiled bitterly: "The concubine is uncomfortable, how long has Your Majesty not been with me?" ”
"I was negligent." Tuoba Truss rubbed Zuo Xin'er's head and smiled dotingly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine boiled a bowl of soup, can you try it?" Zuo Xin'er looked at Tuoba Truss and prayed.
"Okay." Tuoba Truss nodded his nose and drank the soup. "It's delicious."
Zuo Xin'er snuggled up to Tuoba Truss and said with a smile: "That's not it." ”
The two of them laughed tacitly.
