(199) Dust and light shattered (13)
Ye Juezhi's compromise method was nothing more than to consider the emperor, although he didn't understand why the emperor was so disgusted with Shen Xiang's going to the battlefield, but the emperor was the emperor after all, and he was so disgusted, there must be a reason why he couldn't say it for the time being.
Now the courtiers above the hall are almost one-sided to the side of Shen Xiang and Pei Taifu, if he doesn't stand up again, the entire court, the emperor has almost become the opposite of the ministers, this isolated situation to the emperor, to the ministers, there is no benefit.
Ye Juezhi's worry was not wrong, Emperor Qin's originally blue face finally became better after his words, and the solemn atmosphere in the court was finally eliminated a lot.
"Your Majesty." I shouted, "Wechen has already communicated with His Royal Highness the Prince, he will wait for Wechen on the border to pass, Wechen has also made an appointment with His Royal Highness the Prince, and after a month, the fruitless fruit will ripen, and Wechen will take the fruitless fruit to see him." On the Qi side, the relevant matters have already begun to be arranged. ”
"You ......" Emperor Qin choked with anger, and then stood up from the dragon chair with a sneer, "Okay, okay, Shen Qing's trick is so that I have to agree to your request." In this way, everything is as Ye Aiqing said, I asked you to go to Qi State, but if you dare to disrespect the emperor's order and go to the battlefield privately, I will pick up your official uniform and copy your Wei Yinghou Mansion. ”
Emperor Qin flicked his sleeves fiercely, and didn't care about the courtiers below, and left the hall directly.
Since Emperor Qin ascended the throne, he has hardly been angry in the court, and now he has actually let go of such cruel words, which shows that he is really angry this time.
But what is the emperor angry about? Is the anger and Shen Xiang going to the battlefield?
There is such a courtier who is not afraid of life and death and is loyal to the king, and if he is the emperor next to him, he is afraid that he will wake up laughing when he dreams, why is he so angry when he comes to the emperor?
The ministers were talking a lot, puzzled, and the focus of their discussion, I, was talking to Pei Lu, my face was calm, and I didn't have the slightest anxiety or worry.
"Lord Shen Xiang really has the style of the Zhou Dynasty's famous Xiang Yan Quan'an." Ye Juezhi approached me with a smile, and inserted a casual word between me and Pei Lu.
"Lord Ye is going to be ashamed of his true appearance." I waved my hand again and again, not daring to respond to this title, "Yan Xiangguo is a strange appearance through the ages, how can his talent be compared to fools like us?" ”
"Lord Shen Xiang is humble." Ye Juezhi looked at me, "There is just one thing, the lower officials have not dared to ask, now that the emperor has left, the lower officials will ask the adults directly." ”
I tilted my head slightly, glanced at Pei Lu next to me, and then smiled at Ye Juezhi and said, "Ye Shilang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Ye Juezhi arched his hand to me, "Dare to ask the Prime Minister, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince okay in Qi Country now?" ”
As soon as these words came out, almost all the ministers who were still struggling to leave pricked up their ears and eavesdropped on our side.
"Why is Lord Ye's question so strange? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally treated as a guest in the Qi Kingdom, how can you live well? I looked at Ye Juezhi strangely, my face full of doubts.
Ye Juezhi glanced up at me, and no longer chased after me to argue with me, but instead asked, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really waiting for you at the border?" The border climate is harsh, and the environment cannot be compared with the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a daughter, how can he suffer this crime? ”
I chuckled, and leaned sideways to let Pei Lu out next to me, "Lord Taifu is now in his prime, but last year, he also went to Longgu Pass to pacify the remnants of King Chen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and strong, how can he care about the border climate?" ”
"Ye Shilang can rest assured." I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "His Royal Highness has been discussing the battle ahead with Emperor Qi in the Qi Kingdom, and he has not dared to relax for months, and this time he is waiting for the true phase at the border, and it is only a few days, after all, this battle is very important, and you can't be sloppy at all." But...... Master Ye should not ask such a thing in the future, if someone else takes advantage of the loophole, you and I will be unable to escape the blame. ”
When I said the last sentence, I deliberately swept my gaze to the ministers who were still in the main hall and refused to move, especially the word "ten thousand deaths" was bitten extremely hard.
"The discordant alliance, if you commit rebellion, Ye Shilang, today is Shen Xiang's intention to spare you, next time if the old man hears such remarks, the old man will not be as kind as Shen Xiang!" Pei Lu lightly warned Ye Jue, and walked out of the hall with his sleeves brushed up.
I frowned, raised my hand to say goodbye to Ye Juezhi, and hurriedly walked out of the hall and caught up with Pei Lu.
"Lord Ye, according to you, those rumors we heard ......"
Pei Lu and I left the hall with the front foot, and those officials gathered around Ye Juezhi with their back feet, all of them looked nervous, their faces were pale, and they didn't know whether they were frightened by our eyes or Pei Lu's words.
"Your Excellency also knows that it is a rumor, why do you need Ye to say anything more?" Ye Juezhi bowed his hand to everyone, "Adults, let's deal with our own affairs earlier, Ye Mou is going back to the house first." ”
After speaking, Ye Juezhi didn't stop for a moment, and walked out of the hall quickly.
"Lord Ye, hey, don't go!"
"Lord Ye!"
Seeing off Pei Lu at the gate of the palace, I got into my own carriage, but I didn't leave, but waited quietly for Ye Juezhi to come out.
"Isn't the Prime Minister still going to take down the official and do those drudgeries that are scolded and threatened?" As soon as Ye Jue left the palace, he saw the carriage waiting on the side, he walked to the carriage in a few steps, and laughed at himself while lifting the curtain. Let's take a book
"Lord Ye said these words, didn't he want to make him ashamed and embarrassed, and he would have no shame to see Lord again?" I half-helped Ye Juezhi to sit down, then knocked on the wall of the car and asked the groom to take us to Yefu.
"This is the snow spring that I finally got from the vendors, my lord try it." I pushed a cup of poured white jade tea cup in front of Ye Juezhi.
Ye Jue heard that it was an extremely rare Xue Chun, his eyes lit up a lot, and he was not polite, he took the tea cup and tasted it.
"Good tea!" Ye Juezhi exclaimed: "It really deserves to be the best in tea." ”
"I know that Lord Ye, you love tea as much as your life." I smiled and put a small jade box in front of Ye Juezhi, "It's not much, just one or two, Lord Ye will take it back and taste it, otherwise, it will be a waste if you put it here with me." ”
Ye Juezhi didn't accept it immediately, nor did he refuse immediately, but looked at me with a curious expression, "The Prime Minister's words are strange, the adult's attainments in the tea ceremony are no worse than those of the lower officials, how did you come to you, this snow spring is about to be ruined?" ”
I smiled faintly and leaned lightly against the wall behind me.
"What kind of tea ceremony is not a tea ceremony, it's just something that some nobles make out to bind people themselves, and drinking tea to quench thirst is there any special use? Clearing the heat? Peace of mind? It's the same when you drink cold water. ”
"My lord's words, I'm afraid there is disrespect for the sages." Ye Juezhi said with a smile.
I raised my eyebrows, and did not deny the hat that Ye Juezhi gave me, "Drinking tea depends on the taste of my heart, I am a casual person, I can drink the best tea, and I can also drink the vulgar tea, there is no qualitative liking, Xuechun is relying on the lonely snow, I am not in the mood to vassal these elegant things now." ”
"Since your Excellency has taken down the official position as a pretense, you should let go of your heart, and the disappearance of the crown prince will never become an obstacle to the alliance between the two countries."
Ye Juezhi can see how upset I am now, or rather, this matter has been pressed in my heart for a long time, because the reason why I came back obediently when I went was because he passed the news to me on behalf of the emperor.
The crown prince is missing, Wang Jie is seriously injured, and now the entire Qin team can only rely on He Qiong alone to support him in front of Emperor Qi.
Now that the reason for the prince's disappearance has not been found, if He Qiong also disappears inexplicably like this, not to mention that the alliance will not attack the country, Qin State and Qi State may not even be able to do it alone.
When the time comes, it will really be a raging war, and the people will be in dire straits.
"Alas, I'm afraid that now Pei Lu is looking at the overall situation, and he will reluctantly accompany me to suppress this matter, and when the situation in front of me is good, he will bite me back." I sighed.
It's difficult, it's really hard to be an official.
The human heart is unpredictable, the holy will is difficult to understand, friend and foe are inseparable, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
Ye Juezhi thought about it according to my words, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn, "It seems that if you can't find Your Highness quickly, later, Taifu Pei will take this opportunity to attack Your Highness." ”
The prince is missing, such a good excuse, who will let it go?
"That's it." I saw that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little solemn, and said with a smile, "There will be a way to solve these troubles, so let's not worry about it, let's think about the happy events next month." ”
"Happy event?" Ye Juezhi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, "Yes, next month will be the day of the Marshal's Mansion, and this marriage between the Yang family and the Jiang family is also a major event in the capital." ”
"Lord Ye, have you prepared any congratulatory gifts?" I took a sip of my tea and asked with a smile.
Ye Juezhi glanced at me vigilantly, and said in a very stern tone, "This is a private matter of the lower officials, isn't it good for adults to ask this?" ”
My face fell, and I frowned and sighed, "Lord Ye, you are kind, I really don't know what to send." ”
In addition to those congratulatory gifts on the number of rites, as classmates. As a brother and as a friend, I should give a special thing as a wedding gift, which is the custom of Qinguo, and it is also my biggest headache.
Unusually, Ye Juezhi's attitude in this matter is extremely firm.
I've got to figure it out on my own.
The carriage had stopped slowly at the gate of Ye's mansion unconsciously, and Ye Juezhi said goodbye to me and got out of the carriage alone.
"Lord Ye," I lifted the curtain to see the figure in the snow, "Thank you for today's events." ”
Ye Juezhi waved his hand and walked towards the house.
