The sunset shines in the evening, and the afterglow renders the majestic palace of Taiji Palace in golden splendor, and the glazed tiles reflect the golden light and dazzling flowers.

The mountain of music was finally approved, and His Majesty Li Er stretched out after the imperial case, and the bones of his body "crackled". took a long breath, picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it well, which made it a little more comfortable.

Since Ma Zhou took office as Jing Zhaoyin, the remaining few Zhongshu people have finally been more than a step behind, and they just can't give His Majesty Li Er too much of a burden when handling government affairs, and His Majesty Li Er can't trust their ability. In this way, government affairs naturally intensified, which made His Majesty Li Er quite troubled.

I got up and went to the apse to wash up, changed into a dry dress, and ordered the waiter to prepare dinner.

Just as he was about to instruct the chamberlain to go to the Shujing Hall and the Lizheng Hall to summon the two daughters of Changle and Jinyang to have dinner with him, he saw the chief chamberlain hurriedly trotting in from the outside, and saw His Majesty Li Er, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Qiu Xinggong, the general of Zuo Wuhou, knocked outside the Chengtian Gate and asked to see Your Majesty. ”

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said unhappily: "Ridiculous! The floods in Shaanzhou were raging, and as the assassin of Hebei and Shaanxi, he did not control the people's situation and was responsible for disaster relief in the territory under his jurisdiction, but he left his post without permission for family affairs. ”

I couldn't help but be angry.

First of all, Qiu Shenji treated the military department as if it was a street market and made a big fuss, and then Qiu Xinggong left his post and returned to Beijing alone, what is the national law decree in the eyes of your Qiu family's father and son?

There is no awe at all!

Wang De hesitated for a moment and added: "Your Majesty, Qiu Xinggong is kneeling outside the Chengtian Gate now, with his chest open and his back exposed, and he keeps saying that he wants to bear the guilt of Jing and plead......

His Majesty Li Er paused for a moment: "Guilty of Jing pleading?" ”

Hehe, this is to play a bitter trick with me?

The anger in his heart has not subsided, and I really want to let him kneel outside the Chengtian Gate to see how long he can play this bitter trick......

But when I thought about it, I remembered that this guy was hateful, but in the past, he led more than 1,000 soldiers with his brother to join him Li Er, and since then he has been loyal and the first soldier. Ping Xue Ju, killed Liu Wuzhou, and broke Wang Shichong...... Even killed Li Jiancheng on the night of Xuanwumen, Qiu Xinggong has never given up and forgot to die......

At present, the four seas are peaceful, the Tang Dynasty is thriving, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are prosperous and splendid, and all the six and eight wildernesses are surrendered, how can I not remember the life and death of fighting side by side in the past, and not the righteousness of this monarch and minister?

I sighed in my heart, and I just ......

"Let him in."

"Whoa."

Wang De bowed and retreated.

After a while, Qiu Xinggong, who was bare-shouldered, was brought into the Divine Dragon Palace.

Although this guy is over fifty years old, he has been in the army all the year round, and he is still strong and majestic, with strong tendons and burly flesh, and countless scars on his body. Two strings carried a bush of thorns on its back, and the spikes of the thorns pierced the skin and drenched in blood.

When he arrived in the hall, Qiu Xinggong knelt on the ground and shouted: "Weichen has no way to govern the family, let Your Majesty be embarrassed, and the crime deserves death!" ”

Just in an instant, His Majesty Li Er's heart softened......

Although this man is cruel and tyrannical and does not like him, he has no doubts about his fierce loyalty. As a king, a courtier can be virtuous or foolish, as long as he is faithful.

Looking at Qiu Xinggong's gray hair, His Majesty Li Er sighed secretly, in the past, this was an invincible general who was brave and brave with a horse sabre and took the head of the general in the array of ten thousand armies, but now the years are ruthless, and the warriors are old......

In the midst of the ups and downs of his heart, His Majesty Li Er stood up from behind the bookcase, stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Xinggong's shoulder, and said softly: "Why do you have to do this? You and I are kings and ministers, as long as it is a great crime of rebellion, how can I bear to blame you harshly? Hurry up and speak slowly. ”

Qiu Xinggong was grateful, his old face was full of tears, and he beat his chest and said: "Your Majesty cares about kindness and righteousness, how can Qiu Xinggong be an unrighteous person?" The brute of my family collided with the car of His Royal Highness Jinyang, this is a great sin! His Royal Highness Jinyang is a little person who grew up watching Zhong Lingyuxiu, how painful, but he lost his mother at a young age, was frail and sickly, and was pitiful to see his son...... If the beast of my family frightens His Highness Jinyang, it will be the fate of the Wu Qiu family, and it will be difficult to atone for his sins......"

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but be a little surprised...... It is said that if the son was really frightened and sick, he really had the intention to kill Qiu Shenji to get angry. But at this time, Qiu Xinggong cried like this, and felt that it was too much for him to have such a heart. Although the son is the flesh of his heart, he killed the son of a loyal minister just because of an unintentional mistake......

It's really the work of a faint king.

Feeling guilty in his heart, he quickly pulled Qiu Xinggong up, and said comfortingly: "Your family's achievements are also unintentional mistakes, and it is even more okay to simply son, you can rest assured." It's just that Dali Temple is impartially enforcing the law, and I will tell Sun Fujia later, and the net is open. ”

Qiu Xinggong refused to get up, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty can't!" If the dog makes a mistake, then it should be punished according to the law, if it should be beaten, if it should be killed, it should be killed, and the old minister will never complain! In the past, we followed His Majesty to overcome obstacles, and after many ups and downs and how many life and death moments, this is why today's prosperous and splendid Tang Dynasty is to save the people of the world from fire and water, not to act recklessly for the sake of fame! Now that the dog has made a mistake, how can he mess up the law of the country because of the old minister's past exploits? If it is passed on, the old minister may become a minister! ”

When I said this, I almost moved His Majesty Li Er......

Consciousness!

His Majesty Li Er patted Qiu Xinggong's shoulder vigorously and praised, "Good job!" If you don't embarrass me by remembering your old friendships, can't I forgive you and the sins of your juniors? Rise up, I have my own opinion on this matter, and you don't have to say more. Besides, you and I are about to become in-laws, so why do you need to talk to each other? ”

It stands to reason that His Majesty Li Er, who has always missed the old, will talk about this, and Qiu Xing's respectful achievement should naturally be done on the donkey.

But Qiu Xinggong still refused to get up......

"Your Majesty, the old minister is rude, and the dog is even more stubborn, how can he still be such a virtuous and virtuous lady as His Royal Highness Changle? This matter is just wishful thinking on the part of my dog, because of the request for the Shen Guo family, this was approved by His Majesty, and the old minister is naturally grateful, this letter is only the liver and brain can be reported in case! However, my own family knows their own affairs, my dog is really not worthy of His Royal Highness Changle, if it is married, I am afraid that it will ruin the lifelong happiness of His Royal Highness Changle, and it is the courage of the old minister to beg His Majesty to take back his life......"

His Majesty Li Er was stunned.

This old thing...... Actually quit his family?

! I am the Son of Heaven, and my daughter is the one you can marry if you want, and retreat if you want?

Do you still want my face, do you still want Datang's face?

His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "How can a marriage event be such a child's play?" Although you and I have not written three books and six ceremonies, but I Chrysostom Yuyan, this matter has not changed. ”

Qiu Xinggong insisted on saying: "Your Majesty is gracious, and the old minister will never give up." It's just that I really don't dare to obey my fate in this matter, my dog is stubborn and rude, how can he be worthy of His Royal Highness Changle who is Lan Zhihuixin? If one of His Royal Highnesses Changle's life is ruined, then the Wuqiu clan will die without a place......"

In short, all kinds of shirk.

His Majesty Li Er was annoyed......

In the past, he was a little disdainful of Qiu Shenji, that guy was a rammer, how could he be worthy of his daughter? But now that the matter has been decided, you Qiu Xinggong has pushed back and forth, what is this called?

didn't go to help, just let Qiu Xinggong kneel on the ground like this, His Majesty Li Er brushed his sleeves and said: "The marriage has spread all over Chang'an, how can it be changed at will?" At this time, there is no longer a rest. ”

Qiu Xinggong also felt the annoyance of His Majesty Li Er, and he was choking at the age of Nuo Da, and he didn't say yes or no, and he couldn't get up on his knees with his head drooped......

This time, His Majesty Li Er finally noticed something was wrong, and said strangely: "Could it be that Aiqing still has any troubles?" ”

Qiu Xinggong wiped his eyes and tears, he was so aggrieved that he couldn't do it, but he didn't say anything......

His Majesty Li Er was also a violent temper, and he was about to attack when his heart was on fire, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Is it difficult...... Is it because of the Fang family? ”

Qiu Xinggong then snorted and said, "This ...... Fang Xiang is a gentleman, and he also promoted the old minister in the past, and the old minister has always admired and admired Fang Xiang, and never dared to offend him......"

Speaking of which, what else does His Majesty Li Er not understand?

Obviously because of the rumors in the market, Qiu Xinggong, an old man, was scared!

It is rumored that Fang Er has a covetous heart for Changle, so he designed to frame Qiu Shenji. If Qiu Shenji really marries Changle in the future, I am afraid that Fang Er's mallet will be able to kill Qiu Shenji under the jealousy and hatred......

His Majesty Li Er was furious, even Qiu Xinggong, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was he afraid of the power of the Fang family?

Doesn't it mean that except for your second room in the world, no one will dare to marry my daughter?

If you don't marry Fang Er, my daughter will have to be an old girl?

It just doesn't make sense!
