Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 42 The Wind Rises (2)
The emperor didn't speak, but a voice sounded in the room, and the woman said: "The emperor should appease General Guo and win people's hearts." ”
When the emperor heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, I think the same way." ”
Liu Baihe's eyes glanced at the inner room separated by the screen, there was some indescribable taste in his eyes, and after listening to the emperor's words, he spoke again: "Is it just like this?" ”
The emperor thought for a while, and then said, "The Jin country has bullied me for a long time, and since I am the Son of Heaven, I should protect all the people and guard the land." ”
The emperor's words were quite good, and he had some momentum, and Liu Baihe nodded secretly when he heard it. But after the emperor said this, he immediately coaxed him again and asked, "If Xu De doesn't allow it, what should I do?" ”
Liu Baihe was not surprised by the emperor's questioning, which was already expected by him. He took out a letter from his waist, handed it to the emperor with both hands, and said, "This is what the eldest princess entrusted me to bring to the emperor, and it is inconvenient to write on it, so I dictated it on her behalf." ”
The emperor took the letter, and seemed to be able to grasp the temperature of the eldest princess on the letter, he opened it, looked at the familiar juanxiu Xiaokai, and got great encouragement in his heart. He sat down on a brocade stool and looked carefully at the contents of the letter.
Liu Baihe looked at the emperor's slightly green face, and sighed in his heart, after all, he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man. The eldest princess let herself be a villain, why don't she want to be a good person.
Xiao Luzi, who was guarding outside the door, saw that there was no sound in the White Jade Palace, and wanted to knock on the door several times to ask about the situation, but finally held back, after all, the emperor had a lot of grievances against him. The palace maids behind him were still kneeling, the emperor didn't speak, they didn't dare to get up, Xiao Luzi was already irritable, and he was even more unhappy when he saw the tears on their faces, and kicked the most front little palace maid over, scolding and scolding in his mouth, but the sound was not loud and could not be transmitted to the palace.
And the emperor had already finished reading the little letter, and he was still silently thinking about the advice in the letter. Even if he is as dull as him, he understands that his sister, who works in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, cannot have such a plan, and can only be a strategist sent by the king of Guangnan or Yuhuzi. Or is it the so-and-so who has never met and should have come to the palace?
"Has the emperor finished reading it?" Liu Baihe asked.
The Emperor nodded silently, his eyes fixed on the painted vase by the door, not knowing what to think.
"Is there anything the emperor wants to ask?" Liu Baihe asked.
When the emperor heard this, he turned his gaze to Liu Baihe and asked lightly, "Have you seen him?" ”
Liu Baihe was a little stunned, and didn't react to who the emperor was asking, and said, "Who is the emperor talking about." ”
"The man who was supposed to come with you to the palace."
Liu Baihe knew, it turned out that the emperor asked Chen Xuanji, but he only knew such a person, and he didn't have time to contact at all, not to mention that Chen Xuanji had now followed Xu You to the west, he asked: "The emperor doesn't know, this person has gone to the front line in the west with Xu You, and in a few days, he should arrive." ”
"He followed Xu De?"
Liu Baihe was also confused about this matter, and he didn't understand it, probably knowing that the emperor thought that Chen Xuanji had followed Xu De, and said to the emperor: "She is not in the palace and may have a greater effect than staying by your side." ”
The emperor did not speak, and his heart was somewhat unhappy. The person who should have come to his side was snatched away by Xu De again, but he couldn't do anything and didn't even dare to ask. Liu Baihe saw the emperor's expression, and probably knew what the emperor was thinking, so he didn't say anything about Chen Xuanji. Knowing a little less is a good thing for him.
"My sister's letter said she wanted me to declare war on the Jin Kingdom? Xu De couldn't have agreed. The Emperor spoke, turning the subject back to the letter.
"What Xu De wants to do makes him can't care less about the opinions of the people. We only need to light a fire among the people, and naturally countless people will speak in our place. ”
"If you force Xu De to be in a hurry." The emperor was still afraid of the soldiers and horses in Xu De's hands.
"Hsu De is a smart man, he knows what to do. Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is already difficult for the Western Front to advance rapidly in a short period of time. Liu Baihe explained, everything he said was heard in the eldest princess's mansion, and he was just a microphone.
The emperor nodded and said, "I know, you can go down." ”
After Liu Baihe glanced at the silent screen again, he said, "The emperor is still diligent in court politics, don't mess around in the harem all day long." ”
The emperor was furious in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help it, and almost roared and asked, "How many governments can be decided by me?" ”
Liu Baihe looked at the emperor's angry eyes, although he was a minister, he was not afraid of the emperor's eyes, and after saluting, he pushed the door out of the white jade palace. Xiao Luzi heard the emperor's roar, and when he saw Liu Baihe coming out, he didn't dare to be the first to enter the door, and forcibly drove the little eunuch around him to go in and have a look. The little eunuch entered the door with a sad face, and then a copper incense burner flew out and smashed on the eye socket of the little eunuch.
The little eunuch fell to the ground with his eyes covered, blood oozing from the gap between his fingers, and he did not dare to cry out loudly, for fear of losing his life.
Wan Jiao'er came out of the back room, her face was still ruddy, her forehead was still a little sweaty, and she hid in the back room and packed up her clothes. Seeing that the emperor was angry, she stepped forward and helped the emperor to the edge of the bed and sat down, motioned to the palace maids to pull the little eunuch away, and she comforted the emperor with gentle words. Xiao Luzi saw Concubine Hui coming out, and she also had the courage to enter the door to say hello.
The emperor smashed the copper incense burner, and the fire in his heart decreased a lot, and he suddenly regretted hurting the silent little eunuch, and asked: "Xiao Luzi, go and see the little eunuch, don't let him die." ”
"The emperor is merciful, I'll do it." Xiao Luzi got the opportunity to leave, so he naturally left happily, and he was relieved.
Concubine Hui's hand kept caressing the emperor's chest, and said, "Why should the emperor be angry, how can it be good if he is angry." ”
"You say, I'm really so unbearable?" The emperor's question frightened the palace maids who came in around him, and they fell to their knees one by one.
Wan Jiao'er saw that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The emperor is still young, and there is an opportunity to learn, let's take our time." Her tone seemed to be reassuring the mother of the child who had failed her homework and was punished by her master. This is also Wan Jiaoer's biggest secret, maybe because there is no mother's protection, the emperor eats Wan Jiaoer's set very much, and Wan Jiaoer is a few years older than him, and he is skilled in using means.
The emperor listened to Wan Jiao'er's words, leaned his head on Wan Jiao'er's chest, and said softly: "I really don't want to be this emperor." ”
Wan Jiao'er motioned to those palace maids with her eyes to quickly clean up the bloodstains by the door, but her mouth kept whispering, and the emperor seemed to be greatly comforted, and fell asleep in her arms vaguely.
