Chapter 229: The Last Moment

Wu Zetian frowned, and she slowly stood up.

Qin Shaoyou's presumptuousness, as well as Li Longji's righteous indignation, made her feel anxious.

On the contrary, Di Renjie and the others stopped saying anything, it was not that they were indifferent to this matter, in fact, these people had only one mind, this matter must not be let go, besides, before that, His Majesty had already opened the golden mouth, once the matter was confirmed, they would not be tolerated, they did not speak, just because His Majesty should fulfill his promise now, there is no need to persuade again.

Wu Zetian said anxiously: "Where is Qin Shaoyou now?" ”

Shangshu Wu Sansi of the Ministry of Rites had to stand up and said stubbornly: "I have arrived at the Ministry of Rites, waiting for the summons." ”

"Pass it in."

Wu Zetian is as cold as frost, and now she is helpless. This matter is too important, Qin Shaoyou obviously broke a precedent, and committed public anger, don't say it's someone else, it's Wu Zetian himself, why isn't there anger? In any case, the official trip of the imperial history is equivalent to the Qin cha, and the Qin cha represents the Son of Heaven, and Qin Shaoyou is really too much this time.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the blink of an eye, a eunuch arrived at the Ministry of Rites and passed on the message, while Qin Shaoyou cheered up and quickly entered the palace.

Along the way, his mood was calm, passing through the Yongdao, shuttling through countless palaces and pavilions, and finally arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall with familiarity.

He stepped in, and saw many old acquaintances.

It's just that today, those who have good intentions towards themselves are indifferent to them at the moment, and those who have bad intentions towards him are even more sneering.

Qin Shaoyou didn't bother to pay attention to them, the people here. Everyone is a ghost, and everyone is a human spirit, which made him suddenly think of Li Xian's benefits, although he only had a little contact with Li Xian. But this person left a deep impression on Qin Shaoyou, and compared with these people, Li Xian was too distinct.

Qin Shaoyou saw Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian looked at him murderously.

Qin Shaoyou didn't feel afraid, he just stepped forward and said, "Minister, Qin Shaoyou." Qin ordered to escort the eldest princess out of the fortress, but fortunately she did not disgrace her life, and came to return the decree today. ”

He is neither humble nor arrogant, but it makes people feel dazzling.

Because everyone knows that Qin Shaoyou must know what he has done, but he avoids the important and trivializes, only saying the purpose, but he never mentions Yu Shi Su Jing, which is quite a bit of a mistake and does not change.

Wu Zetian was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Oh." How is the eldest princess? ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "The Turks, because of His Majesty's will, marry the eldest princess, and rejoice, the eldest princess...... It's good. ”

He only said that it was good, but it showed his helplessness, some things can't deceive people, the princess, the nobles, but she wants to stay away from home. In the future, I will die in a foreign land thousands of miles away, and I am afraid that I will not be able to celebrate whoever I am.

Wu Zetian's face finally looked better, no matter what. The matter of the eldest princess was finally resolved, at least so that she could breathe a sigh of relief, she said lightly: "What about Heng Guogong, how is Heng Guogong?" ”

Wu Zetian suddenly mentioned Hengguo Gong, Qin Shaoyou was slightly stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Ahhh......h The minister forgot ......"

"......" The hall was speechless.

Such a big deal. You actually forgot, Hengguo Gong is a dignified Guogong, a relative of the Wu family, and he was ordered to go to the desert, but he fell into the hands of the Turks like Su Wu who was detained by the Huns, and you Qin Shaoyou actually forgot.

Qin Shaoyou was also very embarrassed, he really didn't take Heng Guogong to heart, and in fact, in the official letter of state, the court did not add the matter of asking for Heng Guogong, it is no wonder that Qin Shaoyou forgot that guy, after all, the detention of Heng Guogong was originally a dishonorable thing for the imperial court, how could it be written on the national letter and announced to the public, originally this matter was to let Qin Shaoyou negotiate privately, so as to ask people to come back, but Qin Shaoyou was there with his father-in-law and his father-in-law, and his mind was full of his business. Hengguo Gong has long been left out of the clouds, as for the Turkic side, since Qin Shaoyou didn't mention it, it would be better, it would always be useful to keep such a person here.

Now Qin Shaoyou suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the hall was starting to be heavy, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister must repair a letter and implore the Turks to escort the Duke of Hengguo ......"

Before he could say half of the words, Li Longji finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted categorically: "Qin Shaoyou!" ”

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but look sideways at Li Longji.

Seeing Li Longji looking at him coldly, he smiled coldly: "Hengguo's official affairs are related to the dignity of the country, you actually regard it as a child's play, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Qin Shaoyou frowned, but said: "I said, people will definitely be put back, as for whether I regard this matter as a child's play, but it may not be His Royal Highness the King of Linzi can judge, there is a saying called, it is easy to speak but difficult to act, I went out of Luoyang, thousands of miles away, experienced heavy snowfall and cold wind, wind and food and sleeping, only to arrive at the Turkic tent, and intrigue with the Turks, I don't know how much effort is spent, on the other hand, it is His Royal Highness, but in this Luoyang, this year of brocade clothes and jade food, the lower officials asked His Highness to say a word, who regards national affairs as child's play? ”

Li Longji is actually speechless, Qin Shaoyou, this guy, has always been articulate, and he is not his opponent at all.

So he sneered, and simply looked left and right and said to him: "Since you say that you have traveled thousands of miles, you dare to ask, what did you do for the court when you arrived in the desert?" ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "After leaving the fortress, Xiaguan encountered not only a blizzard, but also an unruly Khitan attack on the eldest princess's car, Xiaguan as an envoy, representing the majesty of the Son of Heaven, after repelling their attack, immediately retaliated, beheading countless, but I don't know if this is considered a merit, if His Royal Highness thinks it doesn't count, Xiaguan has nothing to say." ”

Li Longji smiled: "Of course, this is a great achievement, but you went deep into the desert, but you killed the Khitan tribe at will, wouldn't it make the desert tribes breed resentment?" When Taizong was there, he treated all the departments of the desert equally, paid equal attention to grace and power, and gave them education, so the ministries surrendered, and since then they have turned the war with the court into jade silk, and they have nothing to do, your responsibility is to escort the eldest princess, but it is so aggressive, even if it deters the desert departments for a while, but it is a disaster for the imperial court, do you think this is the credit? Besides, I also heard that you ordered the black tooth Changzhi to mobilize hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers out of the fortress in the name of the envoy without authorization, Qin Shaoyou, you are acting as a substitute for the cook, and the court still doesn't care about your mistakes, but you are smug, do you still want to ask Your Majesty to reward you? ”

He smiled cruelly, and finally threw out the killer idea, and said: "You also said just now that you are an envoy, and you represent the majesty of Your Majesty, but what this king knows is that Su Jing, the imperial historian, was ordered to investigate the unauthorized transfer of officers and soldiers in Changping, but he was detained by you, he is both an imperial history and an envoy, doesn't it represent the face of His Majesty?" Such a person, you are a little lieutenant who says to take it, so dare to ask, what are you? Do you know what it means to deceive the king, and what is the crime of taking the envoy without permission? Up to now, you don't know your mistakes, you didn't run to ask for sin, but you ran to show your merits, this king is familiar with the scriptures and history, but he has never seen such a brazen person as you! ”

Finally...... To get to the point.

In fact, the blame at the beginning can be said to be painless, it doesn't matter if Heng Guogong didn't ask for it back, after all, Qin Shaoyou went out of the plug, there is no merit and hard work, even if there is some negligence, it can be forgiven.

As for the unauthorized transfer of troops, this matter can be big or small, as an envoy, he has encountered danger, and if he wants the border army to cooperate, it is not a big crime, as long as His Majesty understands, there will be no hidden dangers.

But what is really fatal is this unauthorized detention of Yushi, which is a heinous crime, and Qin Shaoyou cannot deny it.

This alone is enough for Qin Shaoyou to recover.

Speaking of this, all the secretaries in the palace fell into a deathly silence, no one spoke, but in this speechlessness, there seemed to be a murderous force permeating the Xuanzheng Palace.

Wu Zetian's face was also as cold as frost, she could no longer shelter Qin Shaoyou, not only because the matter was too serious, but what was even more odious was that Qin Shaoyou slapped himself this time, even if Su Jing was a dog, it was also the dog of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven could fight or kill, but it would definitely not be the turn of a captain, even if this captain had great merit, this matter must not be connived up, otherwise as soon as this case opens, the world will be in chaos.

Qin Shaoyou pursed his lips, as if he felt something, and he said with a straight face: "That's right, Su Yushi is indeed detained by the ministers, but Your Majesty ...... Can you explain one or two? ”

He looked at Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian's eyes dodged, she pulled her face and said slowly: "Say." ”

There was obvious displeasure in his voice.

Qin Shaoyou said: "The minister categorically did not mean to insult the imperial history, but a few officers and soldiers of the minister were detained by this Su Jing at will for some reason, Your Majesty, these people have all made great contributions, they shed blood and sweat for Your Majesty, were born and died, and never frowned, but because of Su Jing's trumped-up crime, they actually took it directly, life and death are uncertain, as their superiors, can they see death and not save it?" Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear! ”
