Volume 5 Emperors and Generals Chapter 235 The Proud Lion

readx;?readx;

In the splendid Xuanzheng Palace, the bright yellow curtains hung down from the high golden pillars, not moving at all, and the air seemed to be stagnant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was a young male lion, standing on the top of the royal steps, staring at the wolves below.

Where the road is, although tens of millions of people go to me!

This proud lion is named Qin Lei. The name of this Tao is dignity!

He resolutely cannot tolerate the provocation of dignity, and he resolutely cannot tolerate the trampling of honor! Even if it is broken bones, there must be a crisp and sonorous sound. Therefore, he moved, let go of the hand holding Qin Lin, and held it to his chest. Just this one action frightened more than 100 officials under the imperial staircase, and some people had already secretly hid behind their colleagues, their eyes drifting around, for fear that the thug man on the imperial staircase would suddenly attack......

But Qin Lei didn't make a fuss, even on that handsome face, he still had a bright smile, he just gently dusted his left hand on his collar, his movements were so lightly understated, calm and chic, so that the officials under the rank were ashamed of themselves, and even felt that he was the dust on the collar, not worth a moment, and waved his hand to annihilate.

Wen Yanbo frowned, he never imagined that the young man on the imperial rank would have such a majesty, the vigorous self-confidence and the domineering spirit that was cold and unrevealing made him feel frightened from the bottom of his heart, and he raised his head slightly, and saw the huge golden plaque hanging above the main hall,

was so shaken by the four big characters of 'Jianji Suiyou' on it that I couldn't open my eyes.

Annoyed by the inexplicable cowardice, Wen Yanbo coughed softly, and the younger brother and son behind him took the lead and shouted: "Please apologize to Xiangye!" As he spoke, the queue took a half step forward defiantly!

Qin Lei swept over the hundred officials with the eyes of a lion looking at a sheep, his right hand was on the hilt of the sword, and he knocked gently, and finally spoke, and said quietly: "It's not impossible to let Gu apologize to Prime Minister Wen......

The hearts of the hundred officials under the jade rank were half relaxed, they didn't like this feeling of fighting against power with their lives, which made them very insecure, but if not, how could they, the unarmed civil officials, gain a foothold in this martial arts court, and how could they support the family gate behind them?

Therefore, they had to huddle again and again, testing the patience of the powerful with their own flesh and blood, although they have been worried about the fact that at some point, the powerful will lose their patience, show their bright blades, and chop off their heads, but as long as the knife is still in the sheath, they will continue to get away with it. Fortunately, so far, the powerful can endure it.

This time seems to be no exception, they said to their hearts. The faint joy of victory and the intense pleasure of relief lingered in their hearts, making hundreds of civil officials in high spirits.

The military attache on the right all showed expressions of disdain or contempt. Those generals who had been lucky with Qin Lei also laughed at themselves, and lowered their heads in frustration.

Who knew that Qin Lei's words were only half of what he said, and the hundred officials listened to him and said leisurely with a mocking face: "It's not impossible, wait until Wen Cheng meets the king of Hades." ”

Everyone was stunned, they didn't dare to imagine that under the hard work of hundreds of civil officials, this young prince did not flinch at all, but did not give an inch to each other!

"Bold, you dare to humiliate the Prime Minister!" A scream sounded, but it was Wen Mingli who was like a cat who had been stepped on by the tail, and he jumped like thunder. He can't tolerate this guy who looks uncomfortable from the first glance, always looks arrogant, he wants to make him lose face, he can't raise his head in the capital from now on, go back to the south!

Qin Lin, who was on the royal stairs here, also had a seizure, stepped to Qin Lei's right, stood side by side with him, stretched out his halberd to point at Wen Mingli, and scolded angrily: "Wen Mingli, you dare to humiliate a prince above the court, you are disobedient!" ”

Over there, Wen Yantao also stood up and said indignantly: "For a lonely minister who has worked hard for Daqin for more than 40 years, two generations of emperors, doesn't the prince think what you said is a little inappropriate?" The officials also agreed, but no matter how you listened to it, there was a bit of a strong taste in it.

Qin Lei stared at Wen Yantao for a long time, nodded, and said slowly: "What Lord Xiaowen said also has some truth, so the Lonely King will change his words." The faces of the crowd were a little pale.

But I heard Qin Lei say in a thick mocking tone: "Then change it, unless you wait until you see the king of Hades, how about it?" Baiguan's face was stunned, and he was actually dumbfounded by this unscrupulous prince.

Wen Mingli pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said angrily: "So you just don't apologize?" He was very annoyed that he hadn't turned a corner, and his resentment towards Qin Lei had increased a little.

At this time, Wen Yantao also said indignantly: "Weichen asked the prince to think about my society, let's leave some leeway, and we can see each other in the future." If it's too stiff, it's really not my blessing! ”

"Well said! Wen Shangshu This is the words of Lao Cheng Mouguo," a warm voice sounded, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already stood on Qin Lei's left side at some point, he smiled at Qin Lei, and then turned his head to Wen Yantao and said: "But we can't just give in, after all, everyone is responsible for the trouble that has come to this point." Isn't it, Wenxiang? The prince was not entangled with his minions, but directly asked Wen Yanbo, but his methods were much more superb than Qin Lei and Qin Lin. Of course, this is also inseparable from his distinguished status as the crown prince.

Qin Lin glanced at the prince in slight surprise, but Qin Lei gave the prince a smile.

In the eyes of the officials under the imperial steps, the three highnesses stood side by side on the imperial steps, clearly meaning that they hated the same enemy, advanced and retreated together, and saw that the prince had set up a ladder for the two sides to step down.

I couldn't help but retreat in my heart, and I hoped that Prime Minister Wen Cheng could get off the donkey and get things done, after all, they couldn't always hug each other, after all, they couldn't really do anything to that uncle.

Since the beginning of the conflict, Wen Yanbo has not said a word. This is the rule of party struggle, and if he says anything, it will be a final conclusion, and there is no room for redemption. And he knows best in his heart that his side, no matter who he compares with, is at a disadvantage, if the two sides tear their faces, they can only strike the dynasty at home, paralyzing the government, this move can threaten the opponent.

But this huge country, in a few days, will fall into chaos, and in the end they will not be able to clean it up? Therefore, unless it is a last resort, Wen Yanbo will not take out this killer feature, but just hide it in his waist to scare and scare his opponent.

But now that the prince asked, he couldn't pretend to be dumb anymore, stroked his beard, and laughed like no one else: "Your Majesty, how do you think this matter should be handled?" His gaze crossed the three brothers on the imperial steps and landed on Emperor Zhaowu higher up.

Emperor Zhaowu smiled and said: "The children are just messing around, don't take it too seriously, just laugh at it." ”

Although these words were said lightly, it was enough to shock the officials, because His Majesty on the dragon chair, in the seventeen years since he ascended the throne, has always been with the mud and looking for a balance, according to his previous style of acting, he will definitely be unwilling to appease them, and the worst will make Qin Lei apologize to Prime Minister Wen.

I never thought that His Majesty the Emperor would be so partial to his son today.

Wen Yanbo's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, is this a little inappropriate?" ”

Emperor Zhaowu's narrow eyes narrowed into a line, and he stared at Wen Yanbo like a poisonous snake for a long time before he said word by word: "No, I don't think it's wrong," his eyes suddenly opened suddenly, and he said coldly: "I have agreed to punish a son today, and no one wants to move a second hair!" ”

After speaking, Huo De stood up, brushed his sleeves and said, "Retreat!" Then he went straight down the imperial stairs and left angrily.

"Retreat from the dynasty......" the imperial eunuch hurriedly sang.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty......" Although people are unwilling, they still habitually bow down and salute.

The court was strongly interrupted by Emperor Zhaowu, and the civil and military officials and the princes and princes all stood in embarrassment looking at each other, fortunately, this is not the first time, because of the assassination of King Longjun last month, His Majesty turned his face with the two bigwigs, and also withdrew from the court, and the ministers were not at a loss.

Standing at the head of the military attache, Taiwei Li finally returned from a fugue, stretched comfortably, yawned and said, "My back hurts and I am hungry, go home and go home!" As he spoke, he strode towards the entrance of the hall, which meant a little backache.

The military attaches followed one after another, and some wanted to stay to watch the excitement, but they were also dragged by their colleagues to eat and drink, and they left cleanly in a moment, leaving only the three princes and more than 100 civil officials staring at each other in the main hall......

As soon as Emperor Zhaowu left, Wen Yanbo's gaze fell on Qin Lei's face, and Qin Lei also looked at him with a gloomy face, his right hand was tightly clenched on the hilt of the sword, and there was no longer a bright smile.

The crown prince stood beside Qin Lei, his face was cloudy, and he had been like this since he pried Wen Yanbo's mouth open, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.

Wen Yanbo stretched out his delicate right hand, gently twisted his beard, and said with a smile: "This round is a draw, I don't know if the prince will rely on His Majesty to solve the siege next time?" ”

Qin Lei smiled, a knife-like smile, and everyone who was worried about it was tugging in their hearts. Qin Lei moved, he slowly stepped down the imperial steps, and walked step by step to stand in front of Wen Yanbo.

The two were less than two feet apart, close enough to hear each other's breathing. The two looked at each other with a smile like this, but this smile was chilling

Qin Lei's hand holding the sword tightened, and Wen Mingli on the side hurriedly blocked in front of his father, and said inwardly: "What are you going to do?" He couldn't get used to Qin Lei's dragging appearance.

There was a clear sound of 'pop', followed by Wen Mingli's scream of changing tone, "Oops......" The ministers who didn't know the situation saw that Wen Gongzi's white little face had a bright red palm print.

Before they could react, Qin Lei made another lightning shot and slapped Wen Mingli on the other side of his face. He was extremely heavy, and Wen Mingli was a weak scholar, so he hit him like this, and the two slaps made his nose and the corners of his mouth bloody, and his brain buzzed, and he was stunned.

Qin Lei didn't stop, he still slapped Wen Mingli in the face unrelentingly, and scolded in a low voice: "I call you the reeds on the wall, I call you the bamboo shoots in the mountains......" I saw that Wen Gongzi's head swayed from side to side with Qin Lei's palm, like a rattle played by a child, and his head turned into a sauce jar, and his face was red, green, blue, purple and black.

It wasn't until Qin Lei slapped him more than ten times that the minister on the side came back to his senses and stepped forward to grab Qin Lei. Qin Lei was going to fight together, but he found that Li Guangyuan, who was holding his left arm, was holding his right arm, and it was Qin Shouzhuo who was holding his right arm, so he stopped the struggle of his upper body, flew up, and kicked Wen Mingli's lower abdomen violently.

Qin Shouzhuo and Li Guangyuan hugged Qin Lei tightly, but they heard him say in a deep voice: "Let go!" Lone only said it once. Somehow, the two obediently let go of their arms and retreated to Qin Lei's side.

Qin Lei straightened his clothes, didn't look at the staggering of the place, stared coldly at Wen Yanbo, who had retreated to the side, and said contemptuously: "Next time, Your Majesty will not relieve you from the siege!" Saying that, the cold light flashed, the long sword at his waist came out of the sheath, and he threw his hand at Wen Yanbo, scaring Wen Yantao, who was protecting Wen Yanbo, into a 'mom', and fled to the side with a roll.

The sword was falling where Wen Yantao had just stoodβ€”only a foot away from Wen Yanbo's legs, piercing through the thick carpet and digging into the floor tiles for more than two inches, still shaking tremblingly, conveying the strong will of the master!

Wen Yanbo's face finally turned pale, and his whole body trembled slightly, not knowing whether he was angry or frightened.

Qin Lei smiled contemptuously, stretched out the middle finger of his right hand, and made a gesture that Prime Minister Wen had already seen, and then shook off the hem of the king's robe, turned around and strode away.

Although Qin Lin didn't know the meaning of Qin Lei's gesture, he also felt very relieved, so he followed Qin Lei's example, stretched out both hands, and gestured a middle finger to Wen Yanbo, and followed Qin Lei to the back of the hall.

When the prince saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that last year's Layue, also on this golden palace, Qin Lei shot the Tiance general Li Qing, and couldn't help but sigh that this young master was really a firecracker who couldn't be provoked or touched, smiled helplessly, bowed his hand to the adults, and walked to the back of the hall.

In the blink of an eye, only Wen Yanbo's civil officials were left in the hall, frosted like an eggplant, they never thought that the two sides had played a tie game, but they were killed in the blink of an eye. Many people couldn't accept it for a while, and said depressedly: "How can this be? If a gentleman doesn't move his mouth, how can he just beat him if he can't say it? Are you still unreasonable? ”

Qin Shouclum's teeth grinned at the official who beat his chest, and whispered: "This master has never been a gentleman, and he has never been reasonable. ”

The official suddenly hung his head and said in a lamented voice: "Then what is he talking about?"

Qin Shou looked at the officials in the field, stretched out his thin palm, clenched it into a fist and said softly: "Fist!" As he spoke, he pressed his other hand into his fist, hugged his fist and said, "Xiangye, everyone, the official is busy with official business, so he will retire first." Wen Yanbo nodded, and Qin Shouzhuo walked away. The rest of the officials also followed suit, and left the Jinluan Hall one after another.

There are only a few Wen family members left in the huge golden hall, and there are more than a dozen iron rods still accompanying them, which looks empty, and it also makes the people inside feel desolate. can't even clean up a little hairy child with an unstable foundation, which sends a disturbing signal to everyone - the Wen family, and its civil official group, are not as powerful as they imagined!

Unable to bear this suffocating surprise, Wen Yantao said, "Brother, what should we do?" You can't just swallow it, can you? ”

Wen Yanbo put his hands into his sleeves and said tiredly: "Stop for a while, otherwise what else?" Strike the dynasty? ”

"Yes, shall we strike the court?" reminded Wen Yantao, and several Wen family irons on the side also echoed: "Let them know that we are powerful!" ”

Wen Yanbo shook his head and said softly: "It's not time...... a few people still want to persuade him, he has already taken difficult steps to walk out, Wen Yantao hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Others also set up an unconscious inscription, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers generally went out.

After walking out of the forbidden palace and getting on the sedan chair, Wen Yantao beat his back and was smooth, which made Wen Yanbo's face look better, he patted Wen Yantao's hand, and seemed to say to himself: "When the coming year is busy, the old man will make them look good." Only then did Wen Yantao understand that it was not that he did not report, but that the time had not come.

Now that there is no war, the two taxes have also been put into the treasury, there is no money to repair the river this year, and even the autumn season is over, this is the most idle time for the ministry yamen - the strike is too passive for them at this time.
