"Everyone in the court and the central government has selfish intentions, and the county lord of Huanyan is also disappointed by me, even you, a relict and imprisoned body of the Wu State, actually tried in vain to assassinate me." The emperor was both proud and angry, "The world is my world, maybe because of this, only I can have the world in my heart without reservation, you are just talking." ”

The emperor looked up to the sky and sighed, grieved, and even had the intention of crying.

Lou Ji sneaked a peek at his bedroom, ran in to get a dagger, and then ran out and stabbed the emperor - it was too late, and even if he did, he might not be the emperor's opponent, he needed an assassination that no one noticed.

The eldest princess didn't leave, she came in from the outside, whispered to comfort the emperor, her eyes were gentle, and she occasionally looked at the other two, but she could instantly become cold.

The emperor nodded slightly, and seemed to be in a better mood for a while, but suddenly became angry for no reason, pushed the eldest princess to sit on the ground, pointed at her, and said, "I will hand over the children of the clan to you to take care of, and look at what you have spoiled them!" When it comes to employing people, there is no one to trust. ”

The emperor was supposed to take the responsibility of "pampering" himself, but at this time he finally found a new culprit.

The eldest princess sat on the ground in a panic, did not dare to make more excuses, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty can trust me and the king of Jibei......"

"Hey, one of you two is short-sighted, the other is drunk and incompetent, don't think that I don't know what you're doing, if you have something to do, you run to the back and go forward to slander, I and the Queen Mother are separated, it's all the two of you who are bad."

The Emperor turned and strode away, nearly tripping over the threshold.

The eldest princess sat on the ground for a while, slowly got up, and said to the two people who saw this scene: "The burden of the world is on the shoulders of Your Majesty alone...... When the matter is over, Your Majesty will distinguish between loyalty and treachery. ”

The eldest princess explained her predicament, and then her face changed, and she said to Huanyan: "You betrayed Your Majesty for a mortal thief, and you can't escape the word 'traitor' no matter what." ”

The eldest princess shook her hand and walked away.

The remaining two looked at each other for a while, with mixed feelings, and Lou Ji said: "This burden of the world is too heavy for anyone, and Your Majesty should really share it with others." ”

"Before Your Majesty ascended the throne, he was thinking about how to regain power from the hands of his ministers, and how could he share it with others if he didn't do anything?"

"Millions of people say that they will be levied, and 100,000 troops will come when they say they are coming, what kind of power does Your Majesty want? But I know what you mean. Lou Ji paused for a moment, "It is still unknown who will win and who will lose between the chaotic people and the general in Qinzhou, and Your Majesty is not sure." ”

"The general has won a hundred battles in his life, and how many strong enemies have he defeated......" Huan Yan didn't finish speaking, two eunuchs came in and invited her to go out, Huan Yan got up and smiled: "We talked so happily that Your Majesty and the eldest princess were unhappy." ”

What the emperor wants to see is life and death, not the two talking about it in court.

Lou Ji got up to send him off, and arched his hand: "The ups and downs of the world are the way of a gentleman." He hoped that Huan Yan would be able to please the emperor like everyone else, and that he would not have to suffer in vain.

Huan Yan shook his head and said: "The roads in the world are vertical and horizontal, I would rather take the straight road than take the winding path." Seventeen sons, don't feel guilty, my straight path has nothing to do with you, but it just happens to be a while, the road you insist on taking is far from the right path in my eyes. ”

The foundation of the building arched his hand again, "The county lord is straight and straight, I will take the song in the straight, and don't pass by." ”

"Don't leave it at that."

There was only one person left in the courtyard, and after a while, a eunuch came in to clean up the house, and turned a blind eye to him, and he did not look at anyone, and wandered alone, aimlessly.

The emperor did not show up for a few days, and the eldest princess and Huan Yan did not appear again, so Lou Ji took out the dagger and tied it to the inside of his ankle again, intending to never leave his body again.

He once wanted to pass on the news, but he gave up quickly, he couldn't find a chance at all, even if he told the emperor's plan to the third brother Lou Hard, he would not be trusted.

It was close to noon on this day, and Lou Ji was about to eat, and the eunuch asked him to go, and he didn't say where to go, but walked out of a way, and Lou Ji recognized that this was the direction to the Qinzheng Palace.

When the building was in a hurry, just as the ministers were retreating, Liang Taifu and other ministers passed by him one after another, and occasionally someone who knew him showed surprise on his face, and immediately looked away, pretending not to see it.

Lou Ji immediately understood that something had happened in Qinzhou.

In the hall, the emperor sat on the couch and talked quietly with Shao Junqian, who was standing on the side, looking very calm, without the mania and grief of the previous days, and there was no joy.

The eunuch who led the way retreated, and the other two eunuchs "charged" the foundation of the building to the side.

Shao Junqian couldn't help nodding, and from time to time she quickly carved a few strokes on the woodblock.

After a long time, the emperor said nothing, and Shao Junqian hurriedly left with the woodblock in her hand, not looking at the foundation of the building.

The emperor was idle, took the teacup from the eunuch's hand, and drank it unhurriedly, as if in a daze, not noticing the appearance of the building.

Guowu Hou Lansui ran in, knelt down from a distance to see the emperor, and then knelt forward, trembling.

The emperor returned the teacup to the eunuch and said to Lan Sui, "Does uncle have anything to say?" ”

This "uncle" frightened Lan Sui's soul away, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the more polite the emperor was to whom, that is, he hated it in his heart.

Lan Sui kowtowed again and again, and cried: "The old minister is guilty, the old minister deserves to die, but the old minister has no intention of deceiving His Majesty, it is really ...... It's ......."

From the emperor to the minister, he can burst into tears at any time, and he is not surprised that this trick is so useful.

The emperor was not so kind, and said hatefully: "If it weren't for the queen mother's intercession, the general would not have been able to atone for his sins even if he died." ”

"Your Majesty will give the old minister another chance, and this time you will never let Your Majesty and the Queen Mother worry about it again."

Lan Sui swore to the sky, risking the lives of the whole family, and after a long time, the emperor finally said: "The general is to blame me for my ruthlessness, a mistake is a mistake, and it is unforgivable, I have drafted an edict to remove you from the post of general of Pingxi and the lord of the Marquis of Guowu." ”

Lan Sui knelt down and thanked him, and finally said: "The old minister has nothing else to ask for, but to wait for the criminals, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and atone for his sins a little, so as to comfort the hearts of His Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

"You still want to lead troops?"

"The old minister does not ask to lead the troops, but is willing to be a soldier and charge into battle...... The old minister's whole family is willing to serve the country in the army. "There was a great general who led by example, and Lan Sui must follow.

The emperor pondered for a moment, "I wish you to go to quell the chaos again with your relatives......"

"Your Majesty Xie......"

"I haven't finished speaking, I promise you to quell the chaos, but I don't allow you to lead the troops, and immediately set off to Tongguan to wash the account for Cao Shen and supervise the army, and learn how real veterans fight."

"Yes, yes, the old minister will set off immediately." Although Lan Sui didn't want to live under others in his heart, he didn't dare to say a word more in his mouth.

"Defend Tongguan and bring back the prince, if one of these two things can't be done, my uncle won't come back, so as not to embarrass the queen mother and me."

Lan Sui's face was like ashes, and he even complied with the order and hurriedly withdrew from the palace.

The emperor was stunned for a while, twisted his face and smiled: "What does Lou Qing think?" ”

"I don't know." Lou Ji replied.

"Lou Qing is such a smart person, how can he not know why? The general was ambushed by the rebel army on the way to Xijing, and the official army was defeated, and I was sending troops to support. Guowuhou is anxious to make meritorious service to atone for his sins, maybe he can do better this time, even if it is still a straw bag, it doesn't matter. ”

"The general led 20,000 troops, and the successor soldiers should have 80,000, and it seems that they don't need support."

"Haha, the 80,000 troops are all in Tongguan and have not yet entered Qinzhou, so the support still needs to be supported, and the imperial court can't watch the general die in the chaos, right?"

"The Great General......

"Now the news coming back is more chaotic, I only know that the general is in danger, Lou Qing can have hope, pray to God and Buddha, and beg the general for safety."

The emperor's tone was brisk, but there was no urgency, and it seemed that the situation in Qinzhou was under the control of the imperial court.

The building refused to speak.

The emperor got up, stretched his waist, and walked down the steps of the throne, "It's time to move your muscles and bones, tomorrow I will drive the royal army and lead my troops along the west of the river, thinking that Tongguan is the backup." ”

Lou Ji couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty wants to make sure that Tongguan will not let a person in from Qinzhou, right?" ”

"Haha, don't say it so ruthlessly, if the prince wants to enter the customs, how can I refuse? By the way, you just said that the successor is 80,000, which is wrong, it is still 100,000, and this does not count the tens of thousands of forbidden troops. ”

"Tongguan is strong, and there is no need for so many soldiers."

"Tongguan is strong, but it is about to enter winter, the river is frozen, what if the chaotic people of Qinzhou enter the boundary of Bingzhou? I want to take precautions and divide my troops to the north. ”

This is a plan that the emperor has set a long time ago, and Lou Ji arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is like destroying the enemy country, isn't he afraid of the jokes of heaven and man?" ”

The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, "Your subordinates are disloyal, no different from the enemy country, who will dare to laugh when I sweep away the universe?" ”

"Even now, no one dares to laugh, the ancients had belly slander, and today people have belly laughter."

The emperor laughed and looked left and right, but only saw the eunuch standing there, who was quite bored, and was about to refute it in person.

Lou Qiang climbed into the hall with a roll, didn't see his younger brother, knelt directly at the emperor's feet, and cried: "Your Majesty help, Your Majesty help!" ”

The emperor took two steps back in disgust, "You are the son of Jiangmen, a person who is dozens of years old, why are you crying?" Get up and speak. ”

Lou stiffened up, suddenly saw his younger brother, stunned for a moment, and continued to cry to the emperor: "The chaotic people in Qinzhou have suddenly grown, it must be that General Lan lied about the military situation before, and I heard that His Majesty sent him to Tongguan to supervise the army, this, isn't this a crime but a reward?" Ask Your Majesty to be replaced. ”

"For you?"

Lou was stunned again, "I, I can too, but the minister is sad in his heart, and he is in chaos, I'm afraid it's ......."

"Fat as a pig, timid as a mouse. I'm going to drive tomorrow, are you satisfied? ”

Lou Hard's face immediately showed joy, and immediately changed to a sad face, "Your Majesty's supreme body, how can you get involved in the military?" The courtier's father knows ahead, and he will never ......"

"What am I going to do, use your Lou family as the master? Go home and clean up, and go out with me tomorrow, in case there is a gap in the city wall and you need to plug it, your fat body is just right. ”

The more the emperor said, the more happy Lou was hard, and the tears said no, no, his arms were raised, and he danced, "The wall is enough, and it is not bad to be a meat shield for Your Majesty." ”

"."

Lou bowed and stepped back.

The Emperor added, "Clean up your pig's nest." ”

Lou said with a smile: "Clean up well, you must clean up ...... well"

The emperor said to Lou Ji: "The general and Mrs. Lan can be described as dragons and phoenixes among people, how can they give birth to such a son?" ”

"Seek benevolence and be benevolent, in front of Your Majesty, the 'dragon and phoenix' have no place to stand."

"Haha, people are dying, and their words are good, Lou Qing has to be willing to tell the truth at such a time. It's good, it's good. Tonight with me out of the palace, the soldiers in the army still have to have fun before going out, and our monarchs and ministers will also go to have some fun, so that you can die without regrets. ”

This is what it meant to let Lou Gang clean up the "pig's nest", and Lou Ji forced himself not to think about it at his ankles.
