Chapter 163

When the prime minister saw the emperor throw the letter directly at his feet, he was stunned at first, and his brows furrowed, but he still took a breath, held back the anger in his heart, and bent down to pick up the letter, but before he could take out the letter, he heard the emperor say coldly: "Prime minister, before you read the letter, I want to ask you something." ”

The prime minister took a breath secretly, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and replied: "It's okay for the emperor to ask. ”

The emperor suddenly smiled slightly, sat back on the dragon chair, and said, "I just want to ask the prime minister a common question, your son Ouyang He, where is he now?" ”

When the prime minister heard Ouyang He's name, his body was shocked, but in just a moment, he raised his head indifferently and replied:

"Your Majesty, the rebel son Ouyang He doesn't like to interact with people, Su Xi travels the world alone, wandering around, the old minister and his wife have always spoiled the child, and they can't bear to restrain them more, so they let them travel far away, so that where Ouyang He is now, the old minister doesn't know."

After hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chair, nodded after a moment of silence, and replied: "Since the prime minister doesn't know where Ouyang He is, then things are much easier, you read the letter first." ”

The prime minister nodded, and pulled out the letter, he at first wanted to read it hastily, but after just one glance, his expression changed greatly, and the hands holding the letter couldn't help but tremble violently.

Seeing that the prime minister, who had always been in front of the landslide and did not panic, expressed himself like this after reading the letter, everyone was in an uproar and guessed what was written in the letter.

As if in an instant, in the eyes of everyone, the wrinkles on the prime minister's face suddenly deepened a lot.

Ouyang Wenliang's eyes flashed, and he looked at the prime minister with a frown, only to see his already old face, which seemed to be even more twilight at this time, he gently came to the prime minister's side and called in a low voice: "Prime minister." ”

Ouyang Yunzhong's body trembled violently, and after glancing at the letter again, he casually put the letter away and stood up straight at the same time.

I don't know when, the expression on his face has returned to normal, and at the same time, there is a hint of determination, he turned his head and nodded to Ouyang Wenliang, then faced the emperor, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing happened, it was the old minister who taught his son no way, the old minister was loyal to the country, and he died for the great Shu rivers and mountains, and he also hoped that His Majesty would be clear."

As he spoke, he held up the letter in his hand and tore it in half in front of everyone.

Seeing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and praised: "The prime minister is so bold! ”

The prime minister just put down his hand, looked up and looked at the emperor who had been facing him for decades, sitting on the dragon chair at this time, with his own heavenly power between his eyebrows, suddenly felt a little strange, as if it was only a few steps away, but it was like the end of the world.

Is it because of the dragon chair that everyone will miss in the middle of the night?

It's as if you can get it at your fingertips.

The prime minister took a deep breath in his heart, looking at the emperor Muyang in front of him, who had never taken it to heart, and at this time, it seemed that he felt a little strange.

As if he had never really seen him clearly, the prime minister just retracted his gaze and wanted to bow his head to answer the emperor's question, but in an instant, a lightning bolt flashed in his mind, and the question that had plagued him for many years suddenly had an answer, and it suddenly became clear.

The Emperor may not be as incompetent as he thinks!

This is a problem that I have avoided for a long time and has not been far away, but there is always a time to face it.

The prime minister clenched his fists, and his breathing was a little short, he had been in the prime minister's position for decades, although he had done his best for the country and made Dashu prosperous, but there were also a lot of selfishness in it, he was in the Ouyang family, the first family of the world, as if he could reach out to the fruit of Zhigao's power, and he naturally coveted the throne in his heart.

It's just that the emperor gave himself the impression of being cowardly, mediocre and incompetent, but when did he have the heart to seize power?

Ouyang Yunzhong's eyes flashed, his fists clenched and loosened, and he went back and forth according to his mood.

After decades of layout, there are still important ministers in the court who swear to follow the emperor to the death, and they have no second heart, and they contain him, as if they are always about to succeed, there is a key chess piece, which is placed on the chessboard of the power game, hindering his progress.

Is this qiē all secretly planned by this seemingly dim-witted emperor?

I'm afraid that the last time the queen fell into the water, she is still unconscious, and it is also deliberately arranged by the emperor.

The purpose is to further consolidate the power of relatives and compete with their own "party", right?

The reason why the emperor made himself a prime minister for decades was because of his ability to govern the country and the unshakable Ouyang family behind him!

He felt a slight pang in his heart, and added the word "seemingly" in front of the unshakable.

But he is not nothing, especially now, as long as the army marches westward, and the military power is in hand at that time, who knows who will fall into the hands of the throne!

Even if you sacrifice your own flesh and blood, what is the difficulty!

After pondering for a long time, the prime minister lowered his head, saluted the emperor, and replied: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, but the old minister was excited just now, and tore the letter from the emperor in half. ”

After a pause, he didn't wait for the emperor to speak to persuade him, so he went straight on:

After reading the letter, the old minister regarded Ouyang He's behavior as shameless, hated it, and humiliated the court, and deeply regretted it, so that his anger surged, and he tore up the letter and failed to read it carefully, so that the content and handwriting of the letter were a little vague. Is the content of the letter true? How did Ouyang He get to a high position in the Han army? ”

After everyone heard these words, there was another sensation, and even He Yaochen was surprised.

The emperor leaned forward, looked at the prime minister and smiled slightly, and said, "Does the prime minister doubt the authenticity of this letter?" ”

The prime minister bowed his head and replied: "The old minister doesn't dare." ”

The emperor looked at him, nodded, and repeated, "Don't dare?" Then he leaned back, his fingers habitually knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair, and said: "In this case, I, let you see someone, but Prime Minister, I advise you, it's better not to see this person." ”

The prime minister frowned, bowed and said: "The old minister has no shame in his heart, there are no visible people here, the emperor can rest assured!" ”

The Emperor smiled and nodded, "In that case, I will let him in to see you." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at He Yaochen and said, "Marquis Shunyang, please go outside the hall and announce that person coming in." ”

He Yaochen was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, I don't know who to call?" ”

The emperor looked at him and replied lightly: "You go to the palace and shout, the emperor announces, the fat man enters the palace!" The man knew he was calling him. ”

He Yaochen frowned after hearing this, and felt that something was wrong, but he had no clue after thinking about it, so he had to give up his hand and reply: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go." He Yaochen took the order and left.

Ouyang Wenliang on the side watched He Yaochen walk outside the hall, his eyes showed doubts, and he subconsciously looked at the prime minister, and before he turned around, he heard the emperor suddenly laugh and say: "What, the general of the auxiliary country has something to say?" ”

Ouyang Wenliang's body trembled after hearing this, he hurriedly turned his head and responded, "The minister has nothing to say. Seeing the emperor nodding, Ouyang Wenliang suddenly felt that for some reason, the emperor made him feel a little strange today.

Between the emperor's eyebrows, there was a kind of imperial domineering lingering in it, and he felt in a trance that this kind of temperament seemed to have been seen in anyone, and just as he was frowning and thinking about it, he only heard outside the hall, He Yaochen shouted in a thick voice:

"The emperor has a decree, Xuan, the fat man enters the palace!"

Hearing He Yaochen's shout, Ouyang Wenliang first felt a little funny, but he looked up and saw a murderous flash in the emperor's eyes, and his heart suddenly sank, realizing that the emperor was probably not entertaining He Yaochen.

Thinking of this, he was shocked, and a sentence that Prime Minister Su said every day flashed in his mind: This is your end!

At this moment, He Yaochen walked into the hall with a gloomy face, came to his position, and bowed to the emperor briefly, saying: "Your Majesty, the minister He Yaochen came to overthrow his life." ”

The Emperor nodded, but did not speak, leaned back in his chair, and quietly looked at the door of the dormitory.

For a while, no one spoke, and the huge room seemed dead silent, and I don't know what everyone was thinking at the moment.

After a long time, only to hear the sound of snoring and heavy wheezing, everyone looked back, only to see a fat man in court clothes striding from the door.

Due to obesity, the flesh on his body trembled and trembled, as if even the specially made court clothes were about to be broken by the fat.

But when I saw this fat man, even if someone wanted to laugh, no one dared to laugh.

In the crowd, the prime minister's eyes tightened the moment he saw the dialect, his brows furrowed deeply, at this moment he clenched his hands, his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire, even his breathing became short, and his face, which had always been indifferent, was also full of shock and anger in an instant.

It's as if I've seen something in the world that I think is the most unlikely thing to happen.

In the dormitory, with the arrival of the fat man, the atmosphere became more oppressive and dull, and the air was as quiet as if a needle had fallen.

The heavy footsteps finally stopped, even in the early winter, but the fat man still habitually raised his head to wipe the sweat on his forehead, he took a breath, and then according to the courtesy of the face king, knelt on the ground, and said loudly:

"Minister's dialect, knock to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Fang Aiqing is flat." ”

Fang Yan Yiyan wanted to stand up, but because of obesity, he struggled for a while but still did not improve, the emperor shook his head with a wry smile when he saw this, and said to He Yaochen: "It's convenient for you here, just help Fang Aiqing." ”

He Yaochen frowned, and opened his mouth to refuse, but then he thought that the "sworn enemies" Ouyang Yunzhong and Ouyang Wenliang were opposite each other, and they couldn't embarrass the emperor, so he gritted his teeth, walked to Fang Yan's side, and helped him up hard.

After just this one action, He Yaochen felt that his whole body was sore, and his arms were a little unable to bear the strength.

After a while, the two of them stood up panting, and Fang Yan said to He Yaochen apologetically: "Xiachen Fangyan, thank you Lord He!" ”

He Yaochen waved his hand impatiently, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, his body was shocked, his eyes were shining, and he stared at Fang Yan and said, "You know me?" ”

Fang Yan gasped and replied: "My lord is joking, you are famous in the empire, although the villain has never seen much of the world, but how can you not know that you are Lord Shunyang Houhe?" ”

Before the words fell, Ouyang Yunzhong on the side said coldly, "Lord Fang is too modest, how can it be that Lord He, I am afraid that within the empire, there are no officials big or small that you Lord Fang don't know, right?" ”

After hearing this, Fang Yan hurriedly turned his head, looked at Ouyang Yunzhong, smiled humbly, and bowed down and said, "The villain has seen the Prime Minister!" ”

Ouyang Yunzhong snorted, and before he could speak, he only heard the emperor suddenly speak and called, "Dialect." ”

Fang Yan hurriedly responded: "The minister is here." ”
