Chapter Eighty-Four: Let Go of a Gamble
Li Yu was angry.
He scolded him like this, only scared the eunuchs and palace maids on the left and right.
Shi Wei's expression was calm, and he was not afraid.
He only arched his hand and said lightly: "How dare the minister negotiate terms with Your Majesty, the minister is just doing the duty of a courtier, saving a virtuous minister who is loyal to the country for Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will learn from it." ”
Although Shi Wei was actually negotiating terms with Li Yu, on the surface, he couldn't admit it.
Li Yu's face became more and more ugly, and angry white gas was gushing out of his nostrils.
He secretly gritted his teeth, stared at Shi Wei for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "You all get out of here." ”
As soon as they drank like this, the palace maids and eunuchs on the left and right hurriedly went out of the hall, for fear of taking a slow step and annoying the emperor.
In a moment, in the Nuoda Hall of Wind, only those two people remained.
A high-ranking emperor, and a courtier who is still a prisoner.
Shi Wei knew that Li Yu's heart had begun to waver, otherwise he would not have retreated from the slaves and maids, and doing so was nothing more than to save his emperor's face.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, like Lord Pan, who knows that it will annoy Your Majesty, but still does not hesitate to admonish each other, how many people can there be? It is precisely the existence of such loyal ministers as Lord Pan that the Song Kingdom of the Northern Dynasty did not dare to use troops against my Tang Dynasty, if Lord Pan went, wouldn't it make the enemy happy, and the relatives painful, please think twice. ”
Shi Wei advised again, not because he was loyal to Nantang, but because he knew that only such a high-sounding reason could pave the way for Li Yu.
After listening to his persuasion, Li Yu's annoyed expression gradually eased.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked coldly, "If I have made up my mind and will definitely want Pan You's head to fall to the ground, what can you do?" ”
Shi Wei's heart shook slightly.
Li Yu's words are faintly the last disc.
By this time, he was already riding a tiger, not only to save Pan You, even if it was for himself, he must not give in.
The hall was silent, and a murderous aura was quietly permeating.
Shi Wei could feel that kind of awe-inspiring murderous intent, but he was not afraid, he held his head high, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If Your Majesty insists on killing Master Pan, then the illness of the Song Envoy, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not seek treatment from others." As for Weichen's head, when does His Majesty want to take it, but according to His Majesty's will. ”
Facing the emperor who raised his hand, he could take his surname, the emperor who was extremely noble and powerful, Shi Wei said something calmly.
Li Yu's expression suddenly became extremely hideous.
At this moment, in addition to annoyance, there was a deep shock in his heart.
This high-ranking emperor can't figure out how this young man from a humble background has the courage to say such disrespectful things to himself.
"This person, what is he thinking in his heart, is he really not afraid of death......
In my heart, the voice of confusion echoed endlessly.
Shi Wei's expression was calm, and his expression was even more calm than ever.
In fact, his heart is the same as ordinary people, how can he not be afraid of death.
It's just that he knows that in this game of gambling on his life, which side shows timidity, once the other party sees through, then it will be the losing side.
In the empty hall, the atmosphere was as heavy as suffocation.
The two of them looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, the anger on Li Yu's face, suddenly the smoke disappeared, and he actually laughed.
Although Li Yu laughed proudly, Shi Wei heard a little weakness from it.
Shi Wei couldn't help but secretly exhale, thinking that his gamble was right.
As he expected, a word emperor, on the surface, is infinitely beautiful, but how fragile in his heart.
If he really had the courage of a hero, he would not have killed Pan You, would not have listened to rumors and sent himself to prison, and would not have "fallen" to the point of negotiating terms with himself for the sake of a mere Song envoy.
In this gamble, from the very beginning, Li Yu has put himself on the side of the loser.
After laughing, Li Yu's demeanor has become much kinder, and he said: "Shi Aiqing, Pan You once said to me, you are a rare talent in my Tang Dynasty, I didn't believe it before, but now I give it a try, it seems to be really good." ”
Li Yu found a "step" for himself, a threat of life and death, which became an understatement of "try it today".
Shi Wei immediately bowed his hand and said humbly: "Your Majesty has won the award, the ministers are sparse and shallow, and some only have the heart of loyalty to the country." ”
"Okay, good, very good, I need a loyal minister like you in Datang." Li Yu praised Shi Wei and immediately summoned the eunuchs into the palace again.
He said loudly: "Spread my will, immediately acquit Pan You, and reinstate the official." ”
The eunuch took the order and left, Shi Wei hurriedly piled up a look of gratitude, and said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the minister is here to thank Your Majesty Longen for Lord Pan." ”
Li Yu waved his hand and smiled: "That's it, there is no need to say that you are grateful, if you are really grateful, just quickly clean up and go to the pavilion to see the Song envoy." ”
"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust, and the minister will retire."
Shi Wei thanked him and left.
When Shi Wei left the main hall, Li Yu's kind expression instantly returned to that gloomy and cold state.
He gritted his teeth secretly, sneered and said to himself: "Shi Wei, you dare to threaten me, how can I tolerate you, for the sake of the Song envoy's illness, I will also endure for a moment, and after you cure the Song envoy's illness, hum ......"
………………………………
As soon as he came out of the main hall, the cold wind came to his face, and Shi Wei couldn't help but shiver.
Only then did he realize that a cold sweat quietly broke out on his back.
In the confrontation in front of the palace just now, although he won, but thinking about it at this time, his life was really hanging by the bullet at that time, and he had palpitations.
"Although I forced Li Yu to give in today and saved Pan You and his surname, it was also because Li Yu asked me, once I cured Song Envoy's illness, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not retaliate against me, well, this matter is not over yet, I have to think of other ways to get out."
Shi Wei pondered all the way, and rushed to the pavilion on the east side of the palace in the carriage in the palace.
This pavilion was built by Li Yu in order to summon the Song envoys, and its magnificence is not inferior to any of the wealthy mansions in Jinling City.
Shi Wei revealed his identity, and the Song soldiers who guarded him let him in.
Under the guidance of a Song man, Shi Wei entered the pavilion and went all the way to the place where the Song envoy Lu Duosun stayed.
When Shi Wei stepped into the room, he happened to meet a Song man dressed as a military attaché.
The moment he saw the military attaché, Shi Wei suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this person there.
"Marquis Cao Yu, this is the imperial doctor sent by the Southern Kingdom, saying that it is for our Lord Lu to see the disease?"
That Cao Yuhou glanced at Shi Wei up and down, there seemed to be a little strange in his eyes, and suddenly, his face was full of surprise, pointing at him and laughing: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it would be you." ”
"Are you ......" Shi Wei looked suspicious, listening to his tone, as if he recognized himself.
Then Cao Yuhou stepped forward and patted Shi Wei on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "Engong, don't you remember me?" ”
Hearing him call himself "Engong", Shi Wei became more and more confused.
He stared at this Cao Yuhou carefully, and his mind quickly searched for memories of this person.
After a moment, Shi Wei's expression changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "It turned out to be you!" ”
