Chapter 153: Are You Scared?
Zhang Tang glanced meaningfully at Xu Zhang, who was oblique behind him, just when Xu Zhang's line of sight collided in the air, Xu Zhang hooked the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyes, turning sideways slightly.
He whispered, "Envoy Li, do you have anything important to tell Your Majesty?" ”
Li Qing originally didn't have any brains, plus he didn't sleep all night, so his head was even more unclear, and now it was a mess.
Xu Zhang's reminder made his paste head hot, although it was paste, he was also an old minister, and Li Qing secretly looked up at Emperor Wu in a matter of proportion.
Emperor Wu was in a good mood, the officials in charge of the wedding were very efficient, and the big wedding was imminent, and everything was ready.
"Envoy Li is also thinking about His Majesty, but if you don't say it at this moment, you won't have a chance." Xu Zhang sighed and whispered.
Li Qing was not convinced, at first he just didn't want the two brothers of the Huo family to be too powerful, which affected the development of their Li family, in this recruitment of sons-in-law, Li Qing also tried his best to push his own sons and nephews up, but unfortunately his qualifications were limited, he was also convinced that Huo Guang could stand out, but in his heart he added a little jealousy to Huo Guang.
The elder brother holds the military power, and the younger brother sits on one side, how terrible it is.
Not only Li Qing, but other people who have opposing voices in their hearts may also have this bit of fear in their hearts.
Li Qing didn't believe that His Majesty would not be afraid of the Huo family brothers, he turned his heart sideways, bowed out, and stood in the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, the wedding of the county lord of Weichen Jue is too hasty, and there are still many details that have not been discussed." As soon as Li Qing's words came out, there was an instant silence in the hall.
Zhang Xiangkun, who had just finished reporting the wedding, was stunned for a moment, frowning.
Zhang Xiangkun has never participated in the party struggle in the court, he is upright, and his attitude towards them is not stammering, not being in company, and not offending. But he admires Huo Guang, Huo Guang can marry the lord of Rong'an, which is originally a beautiful thing.
Li Qing's hostility to Huo Guang, Zhang Xiangkun was not strange in the past, since Huo Guang went to fight against the Xiongnu with Huo Qu's illness, the partisan competition has not stopped, but this time, it is not just a confrontation with the Huo brothers.
The wedding was applied for by the lord of Rong'an himself in advance, and it had been approved by the emperor, as for the details, they were all drafted by Emperor Wu himself, no matter how big or small, everything was checked. Li Qing's words were not questioning the official in charge of the wedding, this was questioning Emperor Wu himself.
Zhang Xiangkun bowed to Emperor Wu, glanced at Li Qing sideways, and said, "Why did Chief Envoy Li say this?" Is it questioning the candidate for the county horse hand-picked by His Majesty this time? ”
Emperor Wu was not forbearing, but wanted to hear what ivory Li Qing could still spit out, so he didn't speak immediately, but his expression was already ugly.
Rong'an's wedding is imminent, Liu Sheng is also happy, his emotions only change with the change of Emperor Wu, the emperor is his only support, the emperor is happy, Liu Sheng is happy, whoever makes the emperor unhappy will make him unhappy.
He gasped, his eyebrows locked and stared at Emperor Wu's expression, he was the closest person to the emperor, and he was also the person who knew the emperor best, standing close, seeing clearly, and feeling more real.
Every time Emperor Wu frowned, every small action before he got angry, Liu Sheng's heart was fiercely pulled, and a few steps away, shrouded in the low pressure before the storm. Liu Sheng couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and hated Li Qing in his heart for not knowing the height of the sky, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only act on the side of Emperor Wu and see the opportunity.
The corners of Zhang Tang's mouth hooked slightly, and he glanced at Xu Zhang.
Xu Zhang pursed his lips and comprehended.
Xu Zhang took a step forward and said, "Li Chang is cautious in his words and deeds, and there must be something hidden when he says this today. ”
"Secrets?" Zhang Xiangkun sneered, "Then Lord Xu, what are you talking about?" ”
Xu Zhang has always used Li Qing as a gunman, so naturally he refuses to carry Li Qing's pot, he can't say this kind of thing, so he has to let Li Qing say it for him, if he can be disgusting to Huo Guang, it is naturally good, in case he angers His Majesty, he can also retreat with his whole body.
"This ......" Xu Zhang pretended to be very embarrassed, and looked at Li Qing with a willingness to help but powerlessness, "Li Chang Envoy must have his own reasons, why didn't Master Zhang give Li Chang Envoy a chance to speak?" ”
Zhang Xiangkun suddenly choked, shook down his sleeves vigorously, and no longer paid attention to Xu Zhang. Speaking of which, it has become that it is wrong for me, and people want to admonish, and I am not allowed to speak in the middle of it? What does this mean?
He is a scholar, this kind of court argument is naturally the trick of not winning the treacherous and cunning Xu Zhang, Zhang Xiangkun retreated to the side, and the entire hall became Li Qing's performance alone.
Xu Zhang's mission ended perfectly and returned to his position, and he didn't forget to glance at Zhang Tang.
Emperor Wu still didn't speak, this kind of silence before the outburst of anger seemed to be only Li Qing hadn't seen it, except for him, everyone raised their spirits and was ready to kneel down at any time to apologize.
It is because Li Qing has such a trait that Xu Zhang will become an ally with him, easy to manipulate, and can be used.
Li Qing no longer had any scruples, "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Huo Guang must have some intention to ask for a wedding in advance, the county lord is a golden branch and jade leaf, and he is simple-hearted, and he can't withstand Huo Guang's temptation." If his wolf ambition really goes to Beiguan, I am afraid that he will blackmail the county lord, and His Majesty will no longer be able to control it. ”
Others don't know what's going on with the early marriage, except for Emperor Wu, Liu Sheng, and Zhang Xiangkun, who is in charge of preparing for the wedding, knows, so when Li Qing questioned Huo Guang with convincing words, others may still think that he has a little bit of truth, but in Emperor Wu's heart, he is a fart.
Zhang Xiangkun shook his head with a sneer, his heart was full of contempt for Li Qing.
Thinking that he could say something terrible, Liu Sheng was really sweating for Huo Guang, in his heart Huo Guang was a good boy with Rong'an, he believed that Huo Guang would not have any handle in Li Qing's hands, but if Li Qing told him badly, if His Majesty really believed the slander, Liu Sheng was ready to say a word for Huo Guang after His Majesty was peaceful.
Now it's okay, Li Qing's level doesn't need to go out on his own at all.
Emperor Wu felt both angry and funny, how could he not know that Li Qing's words were the thoughts of a group of people, and it came out of Li Qing's mouth just because Li Qing was stupid enough and was used.
"Li Qing, I could have directly blasted you out, but I decided to let you die to understand, and also let a few, a dozen, and dozens of people behind you die to understand."
As soon as Emperor Wu's words fell, Li Qing's body trembled with fright, his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground.
Xu Zhang and Zhang Tang subconsciously lowered their heads, their hearts sank, and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads instantly, and they didn't squint, for fear of being seen abnormally.
Emperor Wu's next sentence made them even more frightened, "Li Qing, are you scared?" ”
Scared...... Three words echoed above the hall like a pre-death spell.
