Chapter 62: The Game
Mo Baozhou looked at Xiao Chumo, who was standing straight and upright in the hall, and he really had a murderous intent in his heart, this person is in the palace anyway, if he kills him, he will be killed, just set up a crime, and see who dares to say that he is not at that time!
Just as he was about to give Xiao Chumo an ultimatum again, a eunuch walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the prime minister asks to see the emperor." ”
"Prime Minister?" Mo Baozhou's face was cold, but he still stood up, beckoned to the other palace maid who was silent, motioned for her to dress herself, and ordered someone to drag the palace maid who fell to the ground out of the apse, which allowed the eunuch to invite Situ Qin in.
Seeing Xiao Chumo, he didn't estimate at all, but Jian Situ Qin was like this, which showed that he was indeed very jealous of Situ Qin.
After all, Situ Qin is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he is his teacher above the court, and he has the holy decree of the emperor in his hand.
Situ Qinnian is almost in his prime, but he is physically strong, his spirit is shining, he walks boldly, without a trace of old age, his eyes are sharp and sharp, and he does not see the meaning of turbidity, and he is an old man who is wise and close to demons.
As soon as he walked in, he noticed that the atmosphere was unusual, and he only greeted Xiao Chumo by bowing his head, and he said respectfully: "The old minister greets Your Majesty." ”
"You don't have to be polite." Mo Baozhou asked with a smile, "How is the queen?" ”
Situ Qin said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your care, and allow the minister to visit the queen, she is very good, and let the minister ask Your Majesty how well." ”
"Your father and daughter should see each other often, too." Mo Baozhou said with a smile.
Situ Qin naturally thanked him again, glanced at Xiao Chumo on the side, and then said: "The emperor and General Xiao have something important to discuss, if so, the minister will retire first." ”
Mo Baozhou naturally couldn't ask for it, but before he could speak, Xiao Chumo preemptively said: "Lord Situ, it just so happens that this matter, the lower official wants to listen to the opinions of the adults and see what the lower officials should do in order to satisfy His Majesty." ”
When he heard that Situ Qin was from the queen, he knew that the queen had already told him about last night, and presumably their father and daughter had already discussed whether to support Situ Feiyu's accession to the throne.
If the prediction is good, the two of them are now in the same breath at this time, and Situ Qin will definitely help him get out.
Xiao Chumo thought well, Situ Qin had indeed discussed it with Situ Feiyu, and when he heard that they were going to support Situ Feiyu, he was also taken aback, but the surprise was quickly overshadowed by the blood boiling in his heart, and he wanted to laugh a few times.
Situ Qin has always wanted to make great achievements to realize his ambitions, but Mo Baozhou is a dumb and useless emperor, not to mention basic support, and even suppressing his forces in all aspects, which has made him extremely aggrieved over the years.
Because of this, his desire for power and ambition to show his ambition is also more inflated, if he is given a good opportunity today, how can he not be overjoyed.
After finalizing the agreement with Situ Feiyu, he wanted to go out of the palace to contact Xiao Chumo, but before he left the palace gate, he met Xiao Chumo's lieutenant, and as soon as he heard that Xiao Chumo was called away by Mo Baozhou, he hurriedly turned back.
At this time, the matter has reached a critical time, not to mention that Xiao Chumo is even more crucial, this kind of pass, even if he offends the emperor, he must be saved.
Situ Qin smiled a little, "I don't know what the matter is?" ”
"It's all inconsequential disappearances, and the prime minister doesn't know about it." Mo Baozhou immediately interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Why should Xiao Qing bother the prime minister? ”
He looked at Xiao Chumo with a bit of threat in his eyes.
Xiao Chumo turned a deaf ear, and directly relayed Mo Baozhou's words just now to Situ Qin, and said with a sad face: "The king let the minister die, the minister has to die, Your Majesty only needs a word, and the lower official will not hesitate to go to the soup, but Your Majesty let the lower official suffer this great shame, Lord Situ, what should the lower official do." ”
After listening to his words, Situ Qin's face was also shocked, and he looked at Mo Baozhou and hurriedly said: "Tourmaline must not be, if this kind of thing spreads, I am afraid that the emperor's reputation will be hindered." ”
Mo Baozhou was so angry that he couldn't have a seizure, and he had to pretend to be funny and said: "I just played a joke with him, how can he still take it seriously!" ”
"It turned out to be a joke." Situ Qin also smiled, turned his head to Xiao Chumo and said, "Then General Xiao should rest assured." ”
Xiao Chumo wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and barely showed a smile, "Your Majesty really scared the minister." ”
Situ Qin laughed and said to Mo Baozhou: "Your Majesty's joke is indeed a bit too big, who in the government and the opposition doesn't know that General Xiao is in love with his wife, if Your Majesty really robs him to the palace, won't it kill him?" ”
Mo Baozhou laughed dryly, but his eyes were full of viciousness, and he wanted to kill both of them directly.
"Lord Situ doesn't want to entertain the lower officials." Xiao Chumo looked embarrassed, and then turned to Mo Baozhou and said, "The minister still has one more matter, and I want to ask Your Majesty for mercy." Before, they blamed the minister for not being cautious enough in his words, which affected his father-in-law, but now the minister has quelled the rebellion, proving that he has no intention of rebelling, and he also asks His Majesty to open the net and let go of the minister's father-in-law, Lord Yu. ”
When he entered the palace yesterday, he had been suppressed, and he didn't mention Yu Feng's matter, he just didn't want the two to have conflicts again, but now that he has become like this, he doesn't need to hide it, since he deliberately makes himself unhappy, then he definitely can't make him comfortable.
The smile on Mo Baozhou's face had long since disappeared, and looking at Xiao Chumo's gloomy face, he was clearly inching in.
Situ Qin also saw that Mo Baozhou was really angry this time, and if it went on like this, he was afraid that the scene would be even more difficult to clean up, so he said: "Although Lord Xiao, you have proved that you have no intention of rebelling, but this is different from Lord Yu privately spreading the news in the palace, according to the procedure, Lord Yu has still been tried." He said to Mo Baozhou again: "Your Majesty, it is better to leave this matter to the Criminal Department to do, so that this matter can be solved as soon as possible, and General Xiao will not be so anxious." ”
He is retreating, although he did not let Mo Baozhou release Yu Feng, but he also took Yu Feng out of the palace, and the criminal department was all his people, so that Mo Baozhou would lose this bargaining chip.
He said that this is the part, Mo Baozhou is not good at holding people, although he is becoming more and more unscrupulous in doing things, but he still has to do some face work to block the mouths of Youyou.
Mo Baozhou gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then do it according to the Prime Minister's wishes, hand over Yu Feng to the Dao Criminal Department, and let the Criminal Department investigate thoroughly!" ”
"Your Majesty." Situ Qin said.
Xiao Chumo lowered his head and smiled coldly, bowed his waist and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." ”
