Chapter 122: Entering the Palace
"What happened later?" Xu An asked.
"I was pecked by it so much that it hurt, it was cold, and I was hungry. ”
Xu An became more and more speechless, it would be really strange if he waited for three days without being hungry, maybe you won't feel pain if you wait for another three days.
"It's painful, but it's not rewarding, there are some things that we don't need to understand, but we need to understand, for example, why the eagle flies, if you want to understand it, then you have to pay the price in the process. There are things that need to be understood, such as why the sun heats up and why clouds float in the sky. ”
The eagle high above is Chang Wenjun, the clouds and the sun are the truth of that matter, Mullan is reminding Xu An not to go to great lengths to understand what kind of person Chang Wenjun is, if you want to find the truth, then you need to understand the truth, and you must understand why Chang Wenjun did this, and you can better understand it by understanding it first.
Xu An nodded and said, "I understand." ”
"Got it, so where are you going next?"
"North Palace, Imperial Study. ”
Mullanzhou lay there and shook his head slightly and said, "You still don't understand. ”
"I want to find out the truth. Xu An said with a smile.
The truth is in Xu An's arms, but he wants to go to the imperial study, in Mulanzhou's opinion, Xu An wants to see some places where Chang Wenjun often stays, and then further understand him. But Xu An didn't go to the imperial study for this, he really wanted to know the truth.
"There are quite a few people who know the news of your return to the capital. Mu Lan was still lying there with his eyes slightly closed, although the current situation was urgent, Mu Lan didn't seem to care about these, on the contrary, he looked very comfortable lying there.
"Does the Dean know how long it will take for the news to get out and those people to prepare?"
"Beichang is a vast territory, and it will take at least three months to spread to various places, and it will take a month for the news of your expedition to reach the ears of those people, which means that you only have two months, and after two months, these things will be beyond your control. ”
"Two months, then does the dean know how long it will take for the Qi country's mission to arrive?"
"Two months has been enough for the mission, but this mission is not that simple. ”
"You mean the mission is deliberately controlling its own itinerary?"
"Asking for help is not just by saying good words, but also by giving certain benefits, and the purpose of this Qi country to send a mission is to minimize the benefits that can be given. Now they may not need to negotiate, they only need to deliberately delay their own steps, they think that Beichang will definitely send troops to support in advance in order not to avoid civil strife. ”
"I see, but they really don't understand who I am. Xu An said with a chuckle.
Mullanzhou scolded angrily: "Don't pretend to be scheming, what should you do." ”
Xu An withdrew from the Spiritual Academy and passed by the Kyoto Prefecture.
"Yo, isn't this the Prime Minister?" Xu An asked with some sarcasm when he saw Li Si, who happened to come out.
Li Si saluted helplessly and said, "The old minister has seen His Highness. ”
"How is it? How is the Prime Minister's investigation? Do you need to put me in prison and wait for my fate?"
Li Si smiled bitterly: "If you go back to Your Highness, this matter is already clear, Yin Wangkuan of Kyoto Prefecture did commit suicide and has nothing to do with His Highness." ”
"Why did you commit suicide? Prime Minister, did you say that I forced him to commit suicide? Do you need to send me to the Criminal Department for a good investigation?" Xu An asked with some sarcasm, and with a very sinister attitude.
When Li Si heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness is really tormenting the old minister, and the government can testify that His Highness is just standing in the hall, and he has never seen this Wang Kuan, how can he be forced by His Highness." ”
"But why did you say that this good person committed suicide, was he instructed by someone to frame me?" Xu An asked deliberately.
Li Si smiled and said: "Your Highness is too worried, we found evidence of his bribery in Wang Kuan's bedroom, I think we should think that His Royal Highness went to ask for guilt, so this Wang Kuan chose to commit suicide in fear of crime." ”
Xu An casually touted and said: "The Prime Minister is worthy of being an important minister in the court, and he is really ingenious." ”
What does it mean to be ingenious? Is this a compliment or what? Li Si was puzzled at first, and then immediately turned to saluting and laughing at each other and said: "Where is it, Your Highness is really worried about the country and the people. ”
Xu An couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why didn't you see General Lin come out?"
"General Lin has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment and is waiting for His Highness to be handed down. ”
"Alas~ Prime Minister, where is this, since the lord of the country has asked you to supervise the country, then these things are naturally handled by you, and you must not mess up the court. ”
"Your Highness is serious, Your Highness is the king, I am a minister, how can a courtier dare to assert the reason, how to deal with this matter is naturally up to His Highness. ”
Xu An nodded, then thought carefully for a while and said lightly: "Since the Prime Minister asked me to deal with it, then this king will reluctantly be the master." Or, kill it, right?"
Li Si was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his eyebrows furrowed and said tentatively: "Although General Lin's behavior is reckless, it is also for the sake of the country, this matter may be just a misunderstanding, and the crime will not lead to death, Your Highness..."
"Didn't the Prime Minister just say that I had the final say on this matter?"
"The old minister doesn't dare, it's just that the position of the general is too important, and I implore His Highness to punish him lightly. Li Si bowed his head in trepidation and said.
Xu An picked up Li Si with both hands, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What is this doing, Lord Prime Minister, just laughing, just laughing, how to deal with it, you just look at it, don't ask me what I mean." ”
"Your Highness's magnanimity is really a great blessing for me in Beichang. ”
Xu An waved his hand and said, "Prime Minister, do you want to enter the palace together?" I happen to be about to tell you something. ”
Xu An's memory of the Beigong only stayed before the age of five, and after the age of five, more people came and went in a hurry, but if Xu An went back, it must be a chicken, a dog jumping, and it was rare to sit leisurely in Yong'an's residence, and it was inevitable to go up the tree to pick a few green pears, and then sit on the roof and watch the officials who came and went in front of the hall and pointed, including the prime minister next to him.
Most of the people in the palace know each other, but few people outside the palace know what His Royal Highness King Hui'an looks like.
"What Your Highness is going to say is about aiding Qi?" Li Si asked.
"Yo, the Prime Minister is really smart. Xu said unexpectedly.
Hearing Xu An's compliment, Li Si first licked his lips with some embarrassment, and then said with a bitter face in embarrassment: "Your Highness... It's a bit of a misnomer..."
Xu An patted his head, and quickly apologized with a look of sudden realization and said: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, please don't take it to heart, it should be a good plan, thank you for teaching." ”
Li Si's face was extremely gloomy, and he didn't bother to chew words with him, so he asked directly: "Your Highness has other ideas?"
"I'll lead the troops to help, can the Prime Minister rest assured?"
"Your Highness is a cultivation genius that you have not met in a hundred years, and your strength is even more unfathomable, and there is also the dean, so I am still at ease about the safety of His Highness, but just in case, I will bring more masters to protect me, so I will let the Imperial Spirit Division transfer some strong people to follow His Highness." ”
Sure enough, it was an old fox, and he wanted to test his attitude, but he didn't expect that this Li Si was deliberately biased towards himself, who could the strong man of the Imperial Spirit Division protect?
He pretended not to understand what he meant, so he didn't need to make it clear to him at all, Xu An asked the most troublesome question: "The envoy of the Qi State is deliberately delaying his trip, what is the plan of the Prime Minister?"
Li Si frowned when he heard this, he didn't ask Xu An how he learned that the Qi State Mission was deliberately slowing down, because he didn't need to ask, he also knew what Xu An wanted to express by this, but he didn't think about how to deal with these things.
Li Si said: "Since His Royal Highness asked about the minister, he must have already had a way to deal with it. ”
Xu An nodded and said: "Issuing a national letter to the world, this king will go on an expedition immediately." ”
Li Si thought carefully for a while, and then said a little helplessly: "This may be the best way, it may be less profitable, but at least it ensures internal stability, but why is His Highness in such a hurry to go on the expedition?"
Xu An shook his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "There is no shortage of benefits that can be sought." ”
Xu An swaggered into the palace gate, and the guards in front of the door hurriedly saluted and revealed more uneasiness, but they had no right to ask about these uneasiness, even if Lin Pinggui couldn't bear the charge, they naturally didn't dare to go to the test.
Just because they don't dare to ask doesn't mean others don't dare to ask.
"Is there something wrong with His Highness entering the palace?" asked Li Si.
"I'm going to try if the chair is comfortable to sit on. Xu An returned at will.
Hearing this, everyone in the audience frowned, and the guards in front of the palace gate even trembled and clenched the spears in their hands.
There are many chairs in the palace, but everyone can know that the chair in Xu An's mouth is the king's chair. Only that chair could make King Hui'an interested, and only that chair could make everyone so nervous.
They are nervous, and they are not opponents to make a move.
Li Si smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, this is not in line with etiquette. ”
"What's the matter? Why don't you come first, I'll wait next to you, and I'll try it when you've sat enough?"
Li Si said in a panic: "The old minister is afraid, Your Highness must not make such jokes." ”
Xu An waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, you can't stop me, and you can't control me, what should you do." ”
