Li Qing knelt on the ground, didn't even dare to raise his head, completely in a lying position, swallowed hard, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Emperor Wu's question could not be answered by Li Qing, but all his actions proved to the people in the hall that the fear at this moment was the fear of facing the supreme rule and the fear of death.

What he was afraid of was Emperor Wu's next punishment for him, and what he didn't understand was how His Majesty, who had always been suspicious and suspicious, didn't even give him a chance to finish, the last time he stopped Huo Guang from being the captain of Fengche, it was obviously very smooth, and this time the same method would fail.

He couldn't understand too much, maybe only the high-ranking Emperor Wu could give him the answer, or maybe it was the last time he listened to Emperor Wu speak in this way.

Emperor Wu looked at Li Qing, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and snorted coldly, "You haven't finished talking just now, have you?" How about I give you a chance? ”

Li Qing hurriedly raised his head, his greasy face was covered with cold sweat, and with the movement of his head he raised his head, he crackled and smashed on the ground, and the big beads of sweat were torn apart the moment they came into contact with the ground.

He didn't dare to speak directly to Emperor Wu, he could only shout and moan silently in his heart, where is the opportunity, what opportunity, he wants this opportunity.

Emperor Wu sneered and continued, "I will give you a chance to continue to finish what you didn't finish just now. ”

Li Qing couldn't believe his ears, could it be that His Majesty was just scaring him, but in fact, he was still suspicious of Huo Guang in his heart? With such a mentality, Li Qing tentatively glanced at Xu Zhang who was obliquely behind.

Xu Zhang, who had been shocked by Emperor Wu's words just now, where did he have the courage to pass on any message to Li Qing again, and it was difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river.

Li Qing, who did not get any reaction from his "comrades-in-arms", was like an abandoned boat in the sea, lonely and helpless, but he was filled with the desire to survive.

He still firmly believed in his initial judgment, Emperor Wu was jealous of the Huo brothers, and he would definitely be persuaded by himself.

Li Qing wiped the sweat on his face vigorously, "Huo Guang is not an ordinary child of a family, he is the younger brother of the hussar general Huo Quai, one holds the military power, the other sits on one side, Beiguan is the gateway to protect my Han, once it is controlled by ambitious people, if you want to take it back, it will be beyond the reach of the whip, Your Majesty." ”

After Li Qing finished speaking, he kowtowed on the ground again, fear and emotion, tears fell, sweat and tears mixed together, and a large piece of wet in front of him.

This rhetoric is a blatant provocation, that is, because Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing were both out of town and did not participate in the early dynasty, Li Qing fought desperately, saying that it was provoking, and the most important thing was whether the listener had this mind.

Xu Zhang, who was originally worried, was not so nervous after hearing Li Qing's words that he didn't want to die, maybe His Majesty really believed it, even if he was half-convinced, it would always have some impact on Huo Guang's career in the future, and it would be okay to sacrifice a Li Qing.

Li Qing seemed to be completely thinking about Emperor Wu, and with a posture of worrying about His Majesty, he lay on the ground and sobbed.

"Envoy Li is really thinking about me everywhere, the pillar of the country, the minister of my humerus, then tell me how I can end the current crisis."

"Wechen swears allegiance to His Majesty and is willing to share his worries for His Majesty. In the opinion of Weichen, after Huo Guang married the county lord, Huo Guang could stay in Chang'an. Li Qing didn't hear Emperor Wu's counterwords, he thought that his provocation had worked, and Emperor Wu believed him again and shook the use of Huo Guang.

Emperor Wu was stunned, "What about the Lord of Rong'an?" ”

"After the county lord inherits the title, he can return to Beiguan alone to manage the fief." Li Qing's stupidity embarrassed all the courtiers, Xu Zhang gasped, and had already thought about how to draw a line with Li Qing if Emperor Wu asked about it.

Emperor Wu didn't speak again, what he wanted to hear had already been heard, and what he didn't want to hear was even more unexpectedly heard. It's just that a person with such an IQ sighs, if it weren't for the Yin Virtue of the ancestors, how could he be qualified to stand on top of the hall and talk nonsense.

Repeatedly provoking the strictest of the royal family, sowing discord and malicious intentions, Emperor Wu has reached the point where he can't bear it.

If it was the first time, Emperor Wu really felt that he didn't know enough about Huo Guang, and he was slandered by a group of villains, and his ears were soft, so he only gave Huo Guang a false position and did not use him.

But this second time, Li Qing's provocation was so ridiculous, and when Emperor Wu already had absolute trust in Huo Guang, Li Qing's words undoubtedly accelerated his own destruction.

At the beginning, Emperor Wu wanted to send Huo Guang to Beiguan, indeed because he listened to the slander of Li Qing, Xu Zhang and others, and was afraid that Huo Guang would be by his side.

When Huo Guang showed his prominence in the Biwen Competition, some people began to keep handing over the chapters, saying that Huo Guang was because he wanted to snatch the meat of Beiguan, and he would plot against Huo Qubing in the future, and if Huo Guang won the game, it would be a problem to raise tigers.

At that time, Emperor Wu was still half-convinced in his heart, and it was not until later that Huo Guang personally refused to become a county horse in the main hall, and said that he did not know that the purpose of this competition was to marry the county lord, and Emperor Wu's heart was completely put down, and he firmly believed that Huo Guang had no second heart at all, not even a little scheming.

Emperor Wu laughed, and the laughter echoed in the hall, but Li Qing became more and more frightened, and he was cold.

"I'll answer your first question first." Emperor Wu stopped laughing, and his tone was cold, "First of all, it wasn't Huo Guang who proposed to get married early, he didn't have the guts, and of course he didn't have the need, and he wouldn't be as stupid as you thought." ”

Every word of Emperor Wu was like a sharp knife, stabbing heavily on Li Qing's body, he trembled even more, his last glimmer of hope was completely cut off, and all that was left was endless fear.

"Then there is Huo Guang's premeditation, there is one thing you don't know, there is no need to tell you, but I really don't want to hear any more gossip about Huo Guang. The Biwen Contest is known to be a recruitment contest for the lord of Rong'an, but unfortunately the things you all know, only Huo Guang doesn't know. ”

There was an uproar in the hall, no one thought about what everyone had done with their hearts, but only Huo Guang didn't know the feelings. Zhang Xiangkun was also surprised, but then he smiled, intentionally planting flowers that did not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows.

Emperor Wu recalled that Huo Guang was at His Royal Highness two days ago, and said with a confused face that he only wanted jade pendants, and then he was shocked when he knew that he was going to marry the county lord, he couldn't help laughing, his eyebrows stretched, and said, "Li Qing, do you know now?" I've told you everything you want to know, and the next day will be the wedding celebration of Rong An and Huo Guang, but you won't have a chance to see it. ”
