Chapter 125: The Rhythm of Death
Zu Donglai is so angry in his heart! This little eunuch is too realistic, isn't he? Did you preach like that? You can say whatever the emperor says, I don't know how to make the appropriate workaround? Do you really dare to throw folds at yourself?
But after thinking about it, he was a dignified prime minister, if he was as knowledgeable as an ignorant little eunuch, and he really had a good share, so he forced himself to suppress his anger, picked up the fold and wanted to get up.
"Hey! Who got you up? The little eunuch called out again, "You haven't answered what the emperor asked you!" Don't get up, kneel and reply! ”
The two inner guards standing behind the little eunuch almost couldn't hold back their laughter directly, and their cheeks bulged like big toads.
Zu Donglai really has a dead heart, he is the prime minister of the court, and he was reprimanded so by a milky little eunuch, where is his face? But the eunuch who delivered the decree represents the emperor, and your temper really can't shake.
Suppressing the anger that was turning upwards, Zu Donglai said with a puffed face: "The minister doesn't know about this matter, and after returning to the house to verify it, he will report it to the emperor!" ”
The little eunuch craned his neck and said with a dissatisfied face: "It's over? ”
Zu Donglai blew his beard and said, "It's over! ”
"Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?" The little eunuch pouted.
"You just reply to the emperor like this!" Zu Donglai couldn't bear it anymore, stood up suddenly, and said angrily. But after all, he was old, and he was in a hurry, and he was so fierce that he suddenly felt a flash of Venus in front of him, and he was dizzy and wanted to fall, staggered a few steps, and held on to the table, and then he stood firmly.
The little eunuch said disdainfully: "If you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it, you still pretend to be sick, it's true." Let's go back and pay the decree. ”
Looking at the back of the little eunuch, Zu Donglai trembled his fingers and said angrily: "It's too much of a deception!" It's too much of a deception! ”
Other officials in Shangshu Province hurriedly came over to help Zu Donglai sit down, and brought tea again, trying to calm Zu Donglai down.
But not long after the stop here, another eunuch, two inner guards walked in, and the same voice, "There is a will, Zu Dong come and kneel and listen!" ”
Zu Donglai closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, moved forward, just knelt on the ground, and with a "snap", another fold was thrown in front of him. At the same time, the eunuch's male duck voice also sounded at the right time, "The emperor speaks." Let our family ask, what's wrong with Zu Donglai? I have just finished reading the excerpt in front of me, and this excerpt is here again. The emperor asked our family to throw the fold to you as well, and asked our family to ask you, can you still manage your son, this is not the first time that Zu Tianyi has married a people's daughter and **, you don't care, aren't you afraid that Zu Tianyi will be dyed with willows? ”
Zu Donglai was already completely dizzy, and he couldn't remember how he replied, and how he sent away this eunuch who also didn't know what etiquette was.
Finally, with the help of his subordinates, he eased up a little, and another eunuch walked in with two internal guards, and walked through the procedure just now as it was, and also threw the fold in front of Zu Donglai with a "snap", and then asked nonsense for a while, and I don't know which sentence was said by Li Guanqi and which sentence was said by the eunuch.
But this is not over, the eunuch has just left, and the next eunuch who has passed the decree has stepped into the door again, except for the content of the excerpt, the other procedures are almost the same.
Forget it, after a morning's effort, more than 30 waves of people came, although it was said that the wall was pushed by everyone, but the fact that these imperial historians were involved in people is worthy of admiration, and they can think of almost any reason, some are true, and some are simply chasing after the wind, but Zu Donglai has long been unable to distinguish which ones are true and which ones are false......
The people of Shangshu Province can also understand what is going on, the emperor is going to die to the whole ancestor Donglai, just such a tossing method, Zu Donglai was not angry to death, but also tired to death, and he couldn't get up on his knees at all. Gradually, fewer and fewer people came forward to serve Zu Donglai, until there was no one left......
In the spacious hall of Shangshu Province, only Zu Donglai was left kneeling on the ground alone......
As the saying goes, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated, and the scholars of the Great Qian Dynasty attach great importance to honor. Although the previous incident of the people suing the emperor put Zu Donglai under great pressure, he could still endure it and wanted to wait until everything was ready before forcing the palace.
But Zu Donglai never thought that Li Guanqi would come up with such a trick as letting the eunuch apply for the edict. Eunuchs are people with incomplete bodies and have always been looked down upon, but today in the lobby of Shangshu Province, he, the prime minister who has always been admired by thousands of people, was actually pointed at his nose and scolded by the eunuch who has always been regarded as a cheap breed for most of the day. This humiliation, Zu Donglai can't swallow it no matter what.
The previous emperors saw that a certain minister was not pleasing to the eye, and would let people directly court the staff, Li Guanqi was good, he didn't hit people at all, but if he didn't beat people, he wouldn't beat people, this scolding trick was even more vicious, and this move could kill people.
Zu Donglai was not scolded to death by the eunuchs in the end, but his brain was completely messed up, he couldn't wait any longer, he didn't know what vicious and cruel ghost ideas were waiting to deal with him in the little brain of the sixteen-year-old boy sitting on the throne. He's going to strike first, even though he's not quite ready.
Zu Donglai did not wear an official robe, since he was going to force the palace, then wearing an official robe to see Li Guanqi wearing a dragon robe, first of all, he was a little shorter in terms of momentum, he chose a moon-white robe.
The small square of the Prime Minister's Mansion was already full of armor soldiers with helmets and swords, and the eight hundred private guards of Zu Donglai had been assembled, all with solemn expressions, and the cold glow of gold and iron reflected the snowflakes falling in the sky, and an indescribable aura of slaughter was quietly spreading.
Zu Donglai looked at these fierce soldiers in front of him with satisfaction, and felt quite complacent. These government soldiers were all selected from all over the country by Zu Donglai for many years, and it can be said that all of them are elites who can be ten with one as ten. Looking at these armor soldiers, a faint smile finally appeared on Zu Donglai's cold face.
After glancing at the audience for a week, Zu Donglai said in a deep voice: "It has been more than 30 years since the old man won the imperial examination at the age of 24.
But Li Guanqi insulted the old man too much, and since he ascended the throne, he has humiliated the old man several times, but the old man still doesn't blame him. If there is anything difficult to decide in the court, it must be an old man to share his worries and solve problems.
But what did the old man's loyalty and hard work get in exchange? Only this head full of white hair and a body of injuries and illnesses lingered in the world, and every time he thought of it, the old man felt extremely sad......"
