Chapter 986: Beauty Twilight (5)
Huaqing Palace, Nine Dragons Palace.
Li Sujie, the king of Yu, resigned to Empress Wu and asked to return to the Mianchi domain tomorrow.
"You haven't been back to Beijing for many years, you can't bear it, you can't bear to stay longer, it's okay to talk about family affection, why rush back?" Empress Wu unexpectedly revealed the intention of retention, "If you live in Princess Yiyang's mansion temporarily, it will be inconvenient, I can give you a mansion to live for ten days and a half months, and then it will not be too late to return."
"The mother emperor is merciful, and the sons are grateful for the five, however, after all, the court has a law, the vassal king enters Beijing, and he cannot stay for a long time, and the sons are unwilling to damage justice because of their personal feelings" Li Sujie knelt on his knees, and did not accept the kindness of the martial queen, but he did not say a few more words as before, his words were extremely brief, but he felt and said a few more words, "The sons and daughters are on this trip, and I saw that His Majesty was as kind as a mountain, the two sisters were healthy and happy, and the women and children were all nobles, and the eldest man was even more simplified, and he would enter the prime minister and rule ......the world."
"Erchen...... I am very grateful, I only hate that the text is not successful, I can't drive for the mother, I am willing to eat vegetarian fasting in the domain, copy scriptures and recite Buddha, pray for the mother, and repay the kindness of the mother."
"The sons are clumsy in their tongues, their words do not reach their meanings, and they are envious of their fists, and they hope that the mother and the emperor will observe ......"
Li Sujie was still a little sluggish at first, but after that, it was much smoother, his words were plain and emotional, but he was choked up for a while.
"You......" Empress Wu sighed lightly, waved her hand, and asked the chamberlain to help him up, "In the end, it is my uncle and nephew, I know how to be gracious, and I know how to be affectionate, this is no different from the power policy, he has today, my Jane is nothing, he has his own ability, and he is also ...... to fight."
When Empress Wu said this, she was silent, and after a while, she said quietly, "Since you insist on leaving, I will not force you to stay, Li Jing is a good boy, humble and self-controlled, honest and honest, not an exaggerated person, I see it in my eyes, I will take care of it, you don't have to remember"
"Li Jing has been knighted to the country, the official to the general, no matter how many blessings, he can't bear it, he is not better than the big man, he acts rigidly, he can act according to the rules, a little extension, he is unable to deal with it, it is inevitable that he will make mistakes, he can't take on the big responsibility, please let the mother emperor know"
Li Sujie rejected Empress Wu's kindness for the second time, although his words were sincere and what he said was true, it still made Empress Wu quite unhappy.
Not only the Empress Wu, but also Shangguan Wan'er and Xu Hui standing behind her also had different expressions.
Shangguan Wan'er praised with a smile, and Li Sujie's refusal would make the Empress Wu unhappy for a while, but it would leave an excellent impression, which would be of great benefit to Li Jing.
Xu Hui is different, she doesn't care who is good or who is not good, but her simple curiosity is committed again, blinking her bright eyes, looking at Li Sujie, who is dressed lightly and calmly, there is no so-called extravagance and grandeur, not like the prince of the royal family, but like an ordinary landlord.
"Card" Xu Hui laughed strangely in her heart, but her thoughts jumped to the side again, the martial queen and Li Sujie, a pair of patriarchal mother and son, Li Sujie, who was a son, looked a little older than the martial queen.
"That's it, that's it" Empress Wu shook her hand, the haze in her eyes flashed, she wanted to directly dismiss Li Sujie, but she couldn't help it, so she still asked, "Sujie, you tell the truth, is it your own idea to resign back to the domain in such a hurry, or is it the meaning of Quan Ce?" ”
As soon as the words were asked, the relaxed atmosphere in the hall was swept away.
Empress Wu leaned forward, bringing a heavy sense of oppression.
Li Sujie pouted and knelt down again, "The mother and queen are good, and the son's move is purely his own thoughts......"
"You haven't consulted with Quan Ce?" Empress Wu asked aggressively.
Li Sujie blurted out, "Erchen asked Da Lang's opinion, and Da Lang was against it......
"Why?"
"Da Lang said that the son's original intention was not to cause trouble to the mother, but in the eyes of the mother, I am afraid that the son's minister is centrifuged and is outside the mother, but it will attract the mother's affection ......"
Empress Wu leaned back, a soft light flashing on her face, "Why didn't you listen to Quan Ce's persuasion?" ”
"Erchen thinks that Erchen has always been inconspicuous, and the mother emperor should not be careful...... Moreover, the retainers have been in the domain for a long time, lazy to socialize, and are not suitable for the central exchanges, and they are afraid that they will bring trouble to the eldest man, so they insist on going their own way."
Li Sujie finished speaking in a hurry, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground, trembling.
"Hehe, hahaha" Empress Wu chuckled to laughter, and while laughing, she stood up and personally helped Li Sujie up.
She believed what Li Sujie said, because she heard a familiar word.
"The central ministers, the Quartet are feuding, and from the outside to the queen of heaven, they are isolated from the world"
At that time, she had not yet ascended the throne, and she repeatedly tortured Quan Ce, and once, she forced people's hearts to answer this way.
"The thief of power, know my heart, agree with my will, and not in vain I have a pamper......" Empress Wu held her chest with both hands, her front placket bulged, and she was greasy and white.
Li Sujie didn't dare to look directly, and moved his eyes upward, but saw that the Empress Wu was shy and angry, her eyes were like silk, and she looked like a young man.
Deng Shi was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, he closed his eyes vigorously, his limbs were involuntarily, and his clothes were shaking.
"Okay, you step down" Empress Wu relieved himself for a long time, and flicked the sleeves of his robe, "Xu Hui, you go and arrange it, the gifts are heavy, there are many heirs in the Sujie Mansion, you must take care of them, don't leave them out"
"Uh...... Yes, Your Majesty" Xu Hui was taken aback, this kind of errand, she was still the first to handle it, scratched her cheeks, tilted her head and glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, only to see her face full of spring breeze that has not changed for thousands of years, where can you see her true heart?
"Hey, you'll laugh......" Xu Hui slandered in her heart, pouting and going out on an errand.
"Mother, the son of the minister retires" Li Sujie also withdrew.
Xu Hui's small appearance, Empress Wu took it all in, smiled and asked, "Hehe, Wan'er, what do you think of Xu Hui?" ”
"have a pure temperament, crystal clear, do not accept dirt, Shanshan is cute" Shangguan Wan'er was full of praise.
Empress Wu smiled with a hint of hatred, "Indeed, she only cares about the errands I have explained, and her thoughts are written on her face, and she will never mess with other thoughts."
Shangguan Wan'er was silent, and Xie Yaohuan was a thorn in the heart of the Empress Wu.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Taisun asks to see" The chamberlain came into the door to pass the message.
"Hmph, I don't have time to see him" Empress Wu waved her hand casually, sent the little chamberlain, and asked instead, "Wan'er, a few days ago, I ordered Dan to take care of the expansion of the Fireworks Army and the Yushan Army, but he didn't move for a long time, you pay attention, if he has something difficult, help him one or two"
"Yes, Wan'er wrote it down," Shangguan Wan'er responded with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Xiang must be just cautious, and there will be news in the near future."
"I hope so," said the Empress Wu.
Outside the hall, Li Chongjun even ate the closed door, and his brows were twisted into pimples.
Li Sujie and Xu Hui went out of the hall together, he stepped forward to talk, Li Sujie followed the usual rules, but Xu Hui only saluted, without waiting for him to speak, he just walked quickly, and he didn't look at him, he was quite cold.
"There are eyes without beads, hum"
Li Chongjun had wind under his feet and strode back.
For today's plan, I'm afraid that I can only contact Quan Ce to see if he knows the odd goods?
