Chapter 628: The Twilight of the Heroes
The Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Qi.
Xie Yuan's face turned pale, and he strode towards the inner hall. Tie Qing's face and angry eyes all proved that this grandfather was not in a beautiful mood at this time.
On a rainy night, Tang An was like a rabbit that appeared in front of a wild wolf. It's a pity that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slipped through my fingers.
Xie Yuan didn't have time to regret it, he could only look forward.
In the Wenliang Marquis Mansion, in order to count on Liu Gong to put pressure on the imperial court and change His Majesty's mind to accept the competition, he sacrificed one of his most important chess pieces. But because of Tang An, not only did he fail to change the ending, he not only sacrificed Feng Zhiyao in vain, but also completely offended Liu Gong. No need to ask, with that villain's narrow mind, eighty percent put this account on his head again.
And today, he has paid a terrible price for it.
Feng Zhiyao came to Xiaogang in person and expressed her position. The news that the people were able to come to the scene to witness the event was like a wildfire, and the entire Linzi City was set on fire!
Xie Yuan never expected that Feng Zhiyao would take revenge on himself with such an extreme approach, and it would come so suddenly like a thunderous rainstorm.
I have to admit that this move is both accurate and ruthless, which makes me angry and messes up.
Now there is only one person left who can change all this.
Your Majesty!
He endured his injuries and fatigue, and came to King Qi's bedroom again.
Outside the door, the old eunuch Huang Gonggong, who went to deliver a message to him a few days ago, bent down and saluted, swept away the dust and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, Wen Lianghou is in His Majesty's house, you can see ......"
"Get out!"
Xie Yuan didn't mean to stop at all, and pushed open the old eunuch who guarded the door.
Gonggong Huang stumbled for a while, a trace of anger flashed on his face, and he sang: "Your Majesty, Dingguo Gong has broken into the palace!" ”
Xie Yuan ignored the voice that was neither male nor female, pushed open the door and broke in. But as soon as he walked to the warm pavilion, he heard a shrill and high-pitched angry scolding.
"He's so ruthless! How could he do it! ”
A trace of anger flashed on Xie Yuan's face, how could he not hear that this "he" was referring to him?
Angry to angry, he still lifted the beaded curtain and strode into the back room.
There were two people in the room - two men.
Li Yu, the king of Qi, sat on the couch, looking in his thirties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, white and beardless face, thin cheeks, and thin body, which made him look a little feminine.
The other person was lying on the couch at this time, looking extremely weak. Even through the bead curtain, Xie Yuan could recognize the figure at a glance - Liu Gong!
Liu Gong was lying in Li Yu's arms, pitifully holding his arm fixed by the splint, with a painful look on his face. Li Yu, the king of Qi, hugged the "lover" and wept secretly, and the hand holding the orchid finger kept wiping the corners of his eyes, looking very distressed.
Xie Yuan's face was even more angry. He knew that King Qi had the good of Longyang, but he never expected that the king of a country would put on a posture like a woman and serve a despicable and shameless sinister villain carefully!
How sad it is to have a king like this!
A trace of sadness flashed in Xie Yuan's eyes, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister Xie Yuan, meet the emperor!" Because he had something important to report to the emperor, he broke in without permission, and asked the emperor for forgiveness! ”
Seeing the enemy who hurt the "lover", Li Yu was like a fried rooster, glaring and saying, "Xie Yuan, you are so bold!" Dare to break in without being communicated, do you still have a widow in your eyes! ”
Xie Yuan said in a deep voice: "The minister really has something important to do!" ”
"Something important? For the sake of your so-called important business, you can come and force the widow? Can you mess up the courtesy of the monarch and the minister? The widow was going to ask you, but Wen Lianghou just refuted your opinion, thinking that it was beneficial for me to accept the dance, so you beat him like this. If the widow denies your request, do you want to fight the widow? ”
Xie Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Don't dare!" ”
"Don't dare? What else would you not dare to do? Privately use the power of grimaces, and don't even say hello to the widow! Do you know how many people have died? How many ministers scolded me for being a faint king? ”
Li Yu raised his throat, obviously suppressing the fire in his belly.
Of course, what he said was obviously not what made him angry. Flames. No matter how much he doesn't like Xie Yuan's personality, Li Yu always takes into account the identity of the Guogong and never tears his face and yells. However, Liu Gong was injured, but it was as if he had touched his scales, so that he no longer had any fears, and as soon as Bu saw him, he burst out full of anger at Xie Yuan.
He stared at a pair of phoenix eyes like a woman, pointed his fingertips at Xie Yuan's nose, and said loudly: "And the song and dance troupe of the Tang Dynasty - is that what you say will be killed?" Don't you know the strength of Datang? Now it's okay, several people have died in a row, and there is nothing that Man Daqi doesn't know. It is claimed to be the most livable place in the world, but as soon as a group of strangers arrive, they are assassinated - aren't you slapping the widow in the face? If you still have half a scruple in your heart, would you do such a thing? ”
Liu Gong said extremely weakly: "Your Majesty, your body is important, don't be angry......"
"Ouch, lie down quickly, don't pull the wound!"
Seeing the little lover struggling to get up, Li Yu hurriedly leaned down to support him, his eyes were full of concern, and he didn't even have the interest in acting in front of Xie Yuan.
Liu Gong leaned on Li Yu's arm, looking at Xie Yuan with a sarcastic smile in his eyes, and a hint of resentment.
As soon as Xie Yuan left on the front foot last night, someone came to intercept Feng Zhiyao on the back foot, if it wasn't for Xie Yuan's instigation, who would believe it?
In the final analysis, this guy must still be reluctant to let the trump card in his hand be ruined by himself! He thought that if he played such a bitter scene of abandoning the pawn and protecting the car, and brought Feng Zhiyao to the door in person, he would not suspect him? He dreamed!
Give it to your own woman, and then snatch it back with your own hands, and you still want to divert your attention, do you really think Ben Hou is a fool!
And the woman in white who broke her arm - when did Linzi City have such a girl? But any woman who is captivating the country and the city and implies a skill usually only goes to two places: Phoenix Terrace and Jade Gate. Thinking that woman's martial arts are so strong, she must be the number one master of Yumen.
Such an obvious "flaw", if you can't see it anymore, then you don't need to mix it up.
Liu Gong thought that his "speculation" was reasonable, so he put all his hatred on Xie Yuan. As soon as the sky was bright, he endured the pain, deliberately dragged his obviously fractured hand, and cried to Li Yu with a handful of snot and tears.
Of course, he can't be a fan. Traitorous Feng Zhiyao said this kind of thing, and seeing his miserable appearance, Li Yu lost the interest in finding out what happened.
Xie Yuan naturally didn't know that Liu Gong had vented all his resentment on himself, and scolded this despicable villain in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Zhiyao privately agreed to the Tang Dynasty's invitation to fight, and called on the people of the whole city to go to Phoenix Terrace together!" Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter. It just happened that the Tang Dynasty had just quelled the rebellion in the East, and the Xia Kingdom invaded again, this kind of juncture, they must have a plan when they came to the Qi State, we must be on guard! ”
"You also said that they are too busy to take care of themselves now, what can they do!" Li Yu glared and said, "The widow didn't publicize this matter, but also out of prudence, for fear that Feng Zhiyao would unfortunately lose and lose my face." Since she is so confident, that's a good thing, what are you looking for! ”
For the natural optimism of the emperor of Qi State, Xie Yuan felt helpless and continued: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the decline of the Tang Dynasty that we are ......."
"Enough! The widow doesn't want to hear your inexplicable worries! Li Yu pinched his sharp throat and interrupted rudely, "Xie Yuan, remembering the hard work of your Xie family for the Great Qi, the widow will endure you again and again." I didn't expect you to be grateful, and even bring profits, and now even the Wen Lianghou who I canonized dare to beat - who are you calling? Is it a widow? If you go on like this, is there anything you don't dare to do in the entire Qi country? ”
Xie Yuan's heart sank, and he said, "Your Majesty, Weichen's loyalty to Daqi can be seen by the sun and the moon!" ”
"Okay, don't tell the widow about these non-existent things, the widow looks at the result!" A trace of disgust flashed in Li Yu's eyes, and he paused, and finally made up his mind: "From now on, Phoenix Terrace, Yumen still have grimaces, you don't care anymore, and Wen Lianghou will take over for the time being." For the sake of the face of your ancestors who are all meritorious ministers, you, the widow of the Dingguo, will keep it for you for the time being, so you can do it yourself! ”
Liu Gong was overjoyed in his heart, but he dragged his "weak" body and bowed his head slightly, pretending to say: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen, Weichen Ding...... Do your best to live up to Your Majesty...... Entrusted ......"
Seeing that it was so difficult for Liu Gong to say a word, Li Yu's face was full of distress, and he said softly: "You lie down with peace of mind and don't speak." Later, the widow will ask the imperial dining room to boil you a bowl of ginseng soup to replenish your body. ”
Xie Yuan was struck by lightning, and his face was full of disbelief. He looked at the two of them "Lang love concubine", and suddenly felt full of sadness.
"Good, good, good!"
Xie Yuan said three good words in a row, and every word carried the sadness of the twilight of the hero. He gave everything for this country, and in the end he ended up like this - even worse than a shameless villain who betrayed his hue!
At this moment, Xie Yuan seemed to be more than ten years old.
Li Yu saw that his voice was like a bell, and there was a hint of madness in his tone, and a trace of fear appeared on his pale face, and said, "You...... What else are you doing here? ”
Li Yu was afraid of him, but Liu Gong was not afraid. said without yin or yang: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty has cut the power of Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Guo is dissatisfied." Alas, if the Guogong really takes rights so seriously, then this errand will not be accepted by Weichen. ”
"Don't dare!" Xie Yuan clenched his fists, knelt on one knee with grief and indignation, glanced deeply at Liu Gong beside Li Yu, and said, "The Qi country is Your Majesty's Qi country, and the ministers will always be Your Majesty's courtiers." Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, Weichen can only obey! But Your Majesty, Weichen is brave and loyal, everything he says and does is Daqi, and he has no selfishness. I just want ...... Your Majesty, don't regret your decision today. ”
A flush flashed on Li Yu's face, and he said angrily: "Xie Yuan, you are so bold!" How dare you threaten the widow! You-"
"It's nothing, Weichen retired first."
Xie Yuan didn't want to listen to it, he suddenly felt tired. Loyalty to the country was exchanged for humiliation, and for him, who claimed to be a loyal minister, he did not want to accept this kind of insult that was not understood.
Striding out of the house, the golden sun shining on his face, he didn't feel the slightest warmth.
The old eunuch Huang Gonggong obviously heard the quarrel in the house, and smiled mockingly: "Yo, Grandpa Guo came out so soon, if you go slowly, the old slave will not be sent!" ”
Xie Yuan closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
He felt like a dog, loyal, but old and nowhere to go.
