Chapter 486: You Can Only Be Played

Su was not afraid to carefully wrap the brocade quilt around the emperor's knees, and gently surrounded the emperor's two legs. The emperor leaned back on the chaise longue and seemed to be in a daze, his eyes looking at the sky without moving. No one knows why, what a big celebration it is for Xiangcheng to be breached, but the emperor was not happy at all, and even did not enter Li Yuanshan's palace but chose the mansion of a wealthy family in the city to live.

After the afternoon was warm, the emperor asked Su Buxing to carry him out of the house, choose a clean and sunny place, and lie down in a chaise longue to rest.

It has been at least ten days that the emperor has not come out to breathe, and this supreme who is not old according to his grade is already old.

"It's still windy outside, if Your Majesty is not well, we will go back."

Su Buxing said very lightly.

The Emperor bowed slightly, looking away from the blue sky, a little difficult.

"Everyone has arrived?"

The emperor asked.

Su Bu bowed his head and said: "Except for the general Gao Kaitai, who is still rectifying the troops and horses outside Xiangcheng, the other civil and military officials are already waiting in the Haoran Palace. ”

The emperor snorted: "What about Jin Shixiong." ”

"I'm bathing and changing."

The two little eunuchs each walked into the courtyard with a stack of musical folds, and Su Buxing waved his hand to signal them to retreat first. The emperor glanced at them, raised his hand and waved it as if to drive away flies: "Take it, take it...... I don't read the folds today, and I won't read them in the future, so I sent someone back to the capital to tell the prince, saying that I was a little unwell, and that I would not send the folds to the army in the future, and let him discuss everything with the queen. ”

"Whoa"

Su Bu was afraid to answer, and made a look to tell the two little eunuchs to leave quickly.

"Su is not afraid, I know that you usually like astrological divination, and I am afraid that I blame you for not daring to do it in the open, and now that you are idle, you will help me calculate how your fortune will be today?"

Su Buxing hurriedly replied: "The slave has already calculated before, and everything is suitable today." ”

"Good day......"

The emperor beckoned: "Then help me up, let's go to Haoran Palace." ”

Su was not afraid to help the emperor up, and it happened that the chamberlain led Jin Shixiong to meet him. The emperor glanced at him and said lightly: "Let's not talk about the side words first, I have wronged you to spend my days in the cage of Jinyi School these days, and I will give you an explanation in a while." Follow behind me, and tell me about the past few years between you and King Xujun on the Wolf Milk Mountain, and say in a festive way, I don't want to hear sad and miserable things today. ”

"Whoa"

Jin Shixiong nodded, and then glanced at Su Buxing suspiciously. Su Buwei sighed slightly, his expression solemn.

Haoran Hall was built by Li Yuanshan, although it is not as magnificent as the Taiji Hall in Chang'an City, and it is not small in terms of scale. When the emperor was carried to the outside of Haoran Palace, he took a special look, and he was actually in a good mood, and smiled and said that the word Haoran was taken well, but it was a pity that Li Yuanshan did not have Haoran Qi on his body, so he couldn't sit in this hall.

Outside the main hall, two rows of golden gourd warriors stood straight, majestic.

In the main hall, at least one hundred and twenty civil and military officials were already waiting here. Xiangcheng was victorious, and almost everyone had a smile on their faces. Li Yuanshan guarded Xiangcheng for twenty days, but in the end he still did not withstand the offensive of the imperial army and fled from Ximen in a hurry. The significance of the victory of Xiangcheng is enough to leave a heavy mark in the history books. This is Li Yuanshan's lair, the place where he is king, and the imperial court's recovery of Xiangcheng is equivalent to announcing that Li Yuanshan's rebel regime is about to collapse.

When they saw the emperor come in, all the courtiers immediately bowed down to greet him.

Su Buwei helped the emperor up the nine steps, and slowly sat down on the chair that Li Yuanshan had sat on for three years.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, as soon as Xiangcheng is broken, the end of Li Rebellion will not be far away."

Some began to praise the emperor's majesty, and the echoes immediately adorned the emperor's image with more flowery sentences. Although the emperor looks like an old tree that is very close to withering, he is still a majestic mountain in the words of praise.

"Get up."

The emperor said lightly, and it seemed that his mood was gradually improving. From the news that Xiangcheng had been breached, and Li Yuanshan had retreated with the remnants of his army, he did not see a smile on the emperor's face. Perhaps it was infected by the ministers, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked upward. At this time, the courtiers were almost in a trance, vaguely remembering His Majesty's demeanor before the Western Expedition.

"I'm actually happy today, so I'm more comfortable listening to your words of praise than ever. Since the defeat of the Western Expedition and the fall of the Northwest, I have not really rejoiced for three years. Every time I think of the tens of millions of people waiting for me to come to my rescue, my heart hurts like a knife. Xiangcheng is broken, which is a good thing, although Li Yuanshan has not been ambushed, but his end is not far away, isn't it? ”

"Li Cheng was punished, only in the evening!"

Someone else stood up and began the second wave of singing praises.

The emperor smiled and nodded: "You have worked hard with me on my expedition to the west...... I've been wondering, what kind of reward should I give you after the rebellion is put down in recognition of your merits? This incident is a headache for me to think, you look at you people, you are from a famous family and have a lot of money, and you won't look at the money. Rewarding titles, many of you are already princes. So I'm worried, worried about how I can satisfy all of you. ”

"It is the duty of the ministers to serve His Majesty, and they dare not say anything."

"The ministers can share the worries of His Majesty, which is the greatest honor of the ministers."

"I am a slave before and after the saddle, and I only want to follow Your Majesty!"

Everyone hadn't seen the emperor for many days, and the mood was also depressed, so the flattery words that had not been used for a while immediately came out of their mouths skillfully, and they were still in such a sincere tone.

The emperor seemed to enjoy it, he raised his hand and pressed it down, and said gently: "Fortunately, I have not thought in vain after thinking about it for a long time, and I finally thought of the most suitable and glorious reward for you." ”

Everyone quieted down, waiting for the emperor's next words, and there was more or less expectation in everyone's eyes, as well as a deliberately hidden pride.

The next thing they heard made everyone thunder!

"My body is not as good as day by day, and the more I get to the present, the more reluctant I am, and I am reluctant to have a relationship with your monarch and ministers. So it suddenly occurred to me that wouldn't it be nice if I took you with me and continued to be a monarch in another world? You say...... How is it? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly silent.

……

……

The emperor seemed to be very satisfied with the reaction of the courtiers, and couldn't help laughing, his thin face was filled with a bright smile, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the ministers, one by one: "Those of you who went out with me on the expedition were all carefully considered by me whether to take them with me, I really took a lot of thought, and I didn't bring any of the annoying ones I looked down on, you are all my favorite courtiers, so I think you should all be very happy with such a reward, right?" ”

A civil official was frightened and bloodless, and said to himself in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this is a joke, isn't it......"

"It's no joke."

The emperor smiled and said, "You don't have any jokes." ”

He waved his hand, and Su Buxing immediately shouted outside the main hall. Followed by a large number of brocade schools pouring into the Haoran Palace, the sharp horizontal knife in his hand was already out of the sheath. The door of the Hall of Haoran was closed, and the light in the hall immediately dimmed.

"Your Majesty!"

Someone was horrified: "Your Majesty, why is this! ”

"Why?"

The Emperor shook his head: "You guys...... Just now they all said that they were willing to follow me, but now why have their faces changed? ”

He paused for a moment and slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's been this point, and I'm happiest to make this decision." Originally, I was hesitant, but when I saw that you were all laughing because of the breach of Xiangcheng, I knew that I couldn't hesitate any longer...... None of you are idiots, and neither am I. So you don't have to play stupid anymore...... Xiangcheng is broken, is it really worth rejoicing? You are glad not that I have regained another piece of lost land, but that I am about to enter the pit dug by your new master. ”

"I won't wronged any of you, don't you have correspondence with Li Yuanshan in private? Li Yuanshan needs your secret assistance, and persuade me to follow the trap he arranged step by step. But what you don't know is that Li Yuanshan doesn't need you anymore now......"

He beckoned, and then two brocade schools came in carrying a bamboo basket.

"Li Yuanshan deliberately left all the correspondence between him and you people without taking it away, what do you guess he wants to do?"

The Emperor smiled, feeling more and more comfortable.

"Your Majesty, are you going to be the enemy of the whole world!"

Someone finally couldn't bear the pressure and stood up, pointing at the emperor and roaring.

The emperor smiled and said, "Don't you all wonder why I only brought 200,000 soldiers to the west this time, but I want to recruit millions of people. I tell you now, I know that my army is no longer reliable. And if I want to get rid of you, with those generals with heavy troops present, I can't get rid of you if I want to, and if I don't get rid of you, you will unite and send me to the Netherworld first. The reason why I recruited the brave is to separate you from the army...... Speaking of which, I am sorry for the people who are willing to serve the country, who followed me to the northwest, but I know that few of them will return alive. But they are my people, and they deserve to stand up when I need them. ”

"You said that I am the enemy of the world...... family"

The emperor was silent for a while and suddenly raised his voice: "It's not been a day or two since I wanted to do this, and I really didn't have the courage to admit it before, but today I have!" ”

"In this western expedition, quelling the rebellion is only one of them, the most important thing is that I want to leave a clean court for the crown prince and take away a group of unclean and filthy ghosts. I know how Li Yuanshan arranged it, and you all know it, and it is precisely because of Li Yuanshan's arrangements that I have a chance to get rid of you people...... I use myself, millions of people and millions of rebels to accompany you to the funeral, be content...... Soon after, the imperial army will be defeated somewhere west of Xiangcheng, and the rebels will enter the camp, and none of you, the loyal and patriotic courtiers, will surrender and die generously. When I am bored, I even wrote out the will to praise each of you after death, and I will send it to the capital after today, and the prince will not have to do this boring thing again. ”

Either because he had just taken the medicine, or because he was excited, the emperor's complexion became better and better: "I know that Li Yuanshan has dug a big hole and is going to fill me in." Also helping him fill in the soil are Luo Yao, as well as you people. But I also dug a big hole, and exchanged my life for the lives of Li Yuanshan and Luo Yao with the lives of millions of brave people who were loyal to me! I couldn't leave the prince a complete country, so I had to leave him a country that had been stripped of a piece of flesh but not destroyed to the bones. And you will never know where the pit I dug is. ”

"You're all smart people, but you're all treating me like an idiot."

The Emperor sighed: "If I am healthy, I am too lazy to kill you in this way. I will spend ten, twenty, or even thirty years to get rid of you, including your family, little by little, but you still don't realize that I want to rip off your hundreds of years of family, and I have the ability...... Unfortunately, God doesn't have much time for me. I have killed many people since I ascended the throne, but you always feel that I am the gentlest of the emperors of the Great Sui, and I have always been very proud to deceive you, and if I have enough time, I plan to be proud for the rest of my life. ”

Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at the talkative emperor who was high up.

The emperor bowed forward slightly, looked at the panicked courtiers and smiled proudly, "When I am still well, play slowly." When I'm not in good health, hurry up and play. But...... When I want to play, you can only play obediently. ”
