Chapter 118
"Tang Aiqing, do you think I am a good emperor?" Shi Chonggui slowly spit out a sentence, but Tang Xu was at a loss and stunned on the spot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want, and I will forgive you for your innocence." As if he knew what Tang Xu was thinking, Shi Chonggui first showed mercy and forgave him of his sin.
"Thank you. Emperor Longen. "Xie En has become a mantra and said it unconsciously, Tang Xu was completely flustered, didn't Xie thank you to admit that he was going to criticize the emperor? He was so nervous in his heart, and at the same time understood a truth, it was not a good thing for the emperor to invite him to dinner alone, whether it was at noon or at night.
Should I say it or not? What should I say? Tang Xu's history is not good, and his understanding of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is also very vague, he vaguely remembers that the Later Jin Dynasty was not long, first there was an old emperor who recognized the Khitan Emperor as his father, and then his son did not want to be a minister but did not succeed, and was finally caught and died in a foreign land. But how could this short and vague description in Tang Xu's mind be connected with the living person in front of him? But he is destined to be just a monarch in troubled times, the wheel of history cannot be stopped, and whether it is good or bad cannot change anything. Tang Xu thought that he had some sympathy for Shi Chonggui here, and at the same time, he was very worried about his situation. He suddenly remembered that the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although he was a king of the fallen country, he was also a famous man through the ages, what would happen if he had traveled there? The more Tang Xu thought about it, the farther he went, and suddenly a bold thought flashed through his mind, which made him feel excited, what if I can help Shi Chonggui? Just like Xiang Shaolong. Tang Xu blushed a little excitedly, he subconsciously looked up just in time to see Shi Chonggui's eyes staring at him, and strangely enough, there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes, although he didn't know what he was expecting.
“。。。” Tang Xu was excited and deflated, he didn't know anything, in this martial arts world, he had just become a doctor who could only see patients and catch medicine, he knew that he would cross over, so he would go to learn martial arts and the art of war first, Tang Xu thought nonsense.
"What is Tang Aiqing thinking?" Shi Chonggui didn't wait for Tang Xu to answer for a long time, but he didn't get angry, he just felt that Tang Xu's expression was red and white for a while, which was quite funny.
"Nothing." Tang Xu blurted out, and then felt that it was inappropriate, perfunctory emperor is a big crime, he suddenly thought of a topic with his eyes, so he deliberately sighed, which really attracted Shi Chonggui's attention, and asked him why he sighed? Tang Xu sometimes felt that the emperor was too good to him, how could he talk to the king of a country like a friend.
"Your Majesty has been getting thinner and thinner recently, it must be because of external troubles, and the minister also remembered that he had participated in a battle with the Khitan army, and the tragedy was very vivid." Tang Xu observed the emperor's reaction as he spoke, only to see that he was a little stunned at first, and then his brows gradually twisted together. Tang Xu thought he was angry, but he didn't expect Shi Chonggui to suddenly cry.
"Emperor. . . Emperor.. You... Tang Xu was so frightened that it could be said that if he hadn't pretended to be calm, he would have been so scared that he would have peed his pants. What's going on? The emperor wept bitterly in front of him? Is this true? Which play is this? Shouldn't you be the one who should cry when the emperor asks such a question? Tang Xu couldn't believe his eyes at all. The soldiers guarding outside the door apparently also heard the unusual movement in the house, and asked anxiously and hesitantly, but the inquiry was not answered for a long time, so the anxious soldiers rushed in to escort them.
"Presumptuous!" Shi Chonggui scolded the dozen or so people who rushed into the house in full gear and weapons, although the voice was not loud, but it was enough to shock everyone present. The sudden change made Tang Xu a little confused, especially Shi Chonggui's instant change of face made him even more afraid, sure enough, the emperor's joys, sorrows, and sorrows were incomprehensible to others. The guards who rushed in saw that the emperor was okay and knew that they were reckless, so frightened that they all knelt on the place and did not dare to look up.
"The ministers deserve death and disturb the holy driver, but I heard movement inside just now, and the ministers are afraid." The soldier who took the lead kept kowtowing on the ground. When he spoke, Tang Xu found out that it was Li Ji. The other soldiers also kowtowed violently, knocking too hard, I don't know if it was a psychological effect Tang Xu felt that the ground under his feet was a little vibrating.
Shi Chonggui only frowned when he heard this, and Tang Xu felt that the air around him froze. He wanted to plead but didn't dare to speak, worried that if the emperor regretted shedding tears in front of him and losing people, if he still spoke out to persuade him, he would be pampered, but he was afraid that it would add fuel to the fire, and when the time came, he would have to put himself in if he couldn't save this group of people.
"Afraid of what? Fuss, I was listening to Tang Aiqing's story. Shi Chonggui waited for a long time before he spoke, although he still blamed him but it was not as cold as just now, and the people below still kowtowed.
"That's it, I don't blame you, go out, don't come in again without my orders." Shi Chonggui waved his hand, and Li Ji hurriedly kowtowed, thanked him and retreated with his subordinates.
After Li Ji and the others withdrew, Shi Chonggui didn't speak again, Tang Xu could only accompany him silently, and he didn't even dare to cough, nor did he dare to wander, and he kept tensing his nerves, for fear that he would not be able to answer when he was suddenly asked. Suddenly, with a sigh that was too light to be light, he turned his head to look at Shi Chonggui.
"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the belligerent ones wish that I would immediately take the military expedition in person, but the civil officials are worried every day that I am dissatisfied and want to meet the Khitan soldiers, and they are afraid that their comfort nest will not be saved." Shi Chonggui muttered to himself, although the topic was caused by Tang Xu, he was also a little timid now.
"The first emperor left a mess for me, and they thought that my heart was happy." The more Shi Chonggui spoke, the more explicit it it became, and the more Tang Xu listened, the more frightened he became. The more you know, the faster you die, if the emperor feels that he can't keep his mouth alive after complaining, I'm afraid that he won't be able to get out of this palace door today.
"Emperor, haha." Shi Chonggui suddenly laughed, laughed so hard that he burst into tears again, although Tang Xu was scared, he was also a little sad to see him like this.
"I don't want to be an emperor for a long time, I am the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, the master of the Central Plains, what are those Khitans!" Shi Chonggui wiped his tears and scolded hatefully, but he deliberately lowered his voice for fear that the people outside the door would hear it, which made Shi Chonggui feel even more helpless and sad.
"Are you afraid of war?" Shi Chonggui suddenly asked Tang Xu, although Tang Xu was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by the sudden question and was speechless.
"I'm also afraid of war, who doesn't want to live a stable life, but can such a life be stable? Can you? Shi Chonggui stood up as he spoke, and Tang Xu hurriedly followed suit.
