Chapter 52: King Xu enters the palace
"If there is no shortage of money, what is missing? Lack of promotion? Shen Huan asked.
Chang Ji pursed his lips and said with speechless disgust: "Ye just said, the second-level official position has a bright future, are you listening to the lecture?" ”
Unexpectedly, Yu Zeyan nodded in agreement, he slapped Shen Huan with his backhand, and Shen Huan was frightened to think that he had done something wrong, only to see Yu Zeyan instruct with a smile: "Go and check the relationship between Quan Sihu and King Xu, and by the way, also check the Third Highness." ”
Now that the East Palace is undecided, the situation is not stable, and the prince's regime may also rely on external forces, although the east wind may not have it, but the wavering south wind can always give it a try, right?
Although King Xu said that this power protector always oppressed him openly and secretly, it was nothing more than an element of conspiracy and performance, right? This man did not act as recklessly as he appeared, and although he was close to him every day, it was better to be careful.
"Check, check these two paths for me." Yu Zeyan commanded softly.
Chang Ji took the order and retreated without a minute of delay.
Yu Zeyan glanced at Shen Huan and said in a low voice, "What are you still doing here?" Why don't you check it out? Only asked Chang Ji to check alone, did he break his leg? ”
Shen Huan hurriedly slipped out.
……
……
Early the next morning, King Xu entered the palace with dark circles under his eyes.
It's not that he didn't sleep all night because he was investigating, he didn't sleep all night because he drank too much and had a headache. Since two different types of spirits are mixed together, even if you drink a good amount of alcohol, your stomach can't consume it.
However, this dark circle is not useless at all, anyway, the emotional card can rely on this dark circle to play a dozen.
Before he entered the palace, he first bathed three times and used countless scented honey locusts, in order to cover up the smell of wine on his body.
A large amount of alcohol has the advantage of a large amount of alcohol, that is, no matter how much you drink, you will remember it in your head, and there is no time for fragments.
He firmly remembered the news that Yu Zeyan gave him in his head.
Because he thought that Xueyan had been friends with him for many years, he naturally didn't check the authenticity of the news, so he naturally believed Yu Zeyan head-on.
If you want to blame it, it's also because Yu Zhiyan usually pretends to be too good, eating, drinking, and having fun, and he is proficient in everything, and no one can see that he still remembers the cause of King Changning's death in his heart.
Except for one person, and that is His Majesty today.
Although His Majesty knew that Yu Zeyan was idle, but in order to balance his two sons, he secretly handed over the Six Continents Secret Agent General Administration to Yu Zeyan to govern, and now Yu Zeyan is secretly a powerful person, and he began to regret it again.
Why regret it? It's not that he has a ghost in his heart, but he sits on the throne of the Ninety-Five, and regrets it when he sees whoever is strong.
His Majesty went down early today, so he drove directly back to the Tianting Palace, and now he is playing chess with Gonggong Zhu.
When King Xu arrived, His Majesty had just been eaten a chess piece by Gonggong Zhu, and he was thinking about how to play tricks to come back.
"The son visits his father." King Xu bowed and bowed, arching his hands and waiting for the emperor, who was half-leaning on the couch, to get himself up.
"It's not going to work, I've just gone wrong." The emperor snorted, and didn't look at the king at all, but reached out to grab the chess piece to himself.
Gonggong Zhu held the chessboard and said with a smile: "You have no regrets, Your Majesty!" ”
When King Xu saw that no one paid attention to him, he was not in a hurry. He kept bending over and arching his hands, waiting for the emperor to let him get up.
"You kid, but you are sincere, if you don't ask you, you will keep bending over, and you will not be tired?" The emperor looked at King Xu expressionlessly, waved his hand, and gave him a seat, "Get up, what's the matter." ”
The little eunuch brought a mahogany stool and put it behind King Xu, but King Xu stood there motionless, he replied, "Father Qi, the son found out the news, that is, this Quan Yin deliberately stole the soul beads, there are no bandits with high martial arts at all, and the bandits are himself." King Xu said seriously.
The emperor glanced at King Xu, and there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and the few people present did not see this surprise, after all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and not everyone has the courage to stare at the face of the Son of Heaven all the time.
The emperor didn't speak, but he muttered in his heart, looking at King Xu's serious and stern look, he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know?" ”
This question makes people feel like they already knew...
Of course, the king didn't think about this, but replied honestly: "Erchen has been investigating for a long time, and he ordered people to quickly whip his horses and kill three horses, and he also ordered people to search for a carpet and found a surviving guard in the transport team. ”
It's true to hurry up and whip up to find out, it's also true that three horses ran and died, and it's also true that I ordered a large group of people to go to a carpet search, but it turned out that nothing was found...
The emperor nodded, picked up the teacup on the table, and stretched out his hand to hand it to King Xu: "Drink saliva, look at your dark circles, how many nights have you not slept?" ”
King Xu hurriedly bent down, took it with both hands, he raised his head and drank it all, and said, "Thank you, father." ”
The emperor nodded, waved his hand and motioned for Gonggong Zhu to continue to come over and play chess with him.
"It's nothing, you just go down and keep looking, I know."
The king saluted, and some wanted to say something. When he was about to retreat, King Xu still opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, father." ”
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and when he heard this, the chess piece in his hand slipped off before he could play steadily, and he made a wrong move. The emperor looked at King Xu with great interest and asked, "What do you thank me for?" ”
"Thank you father for raising and taking care of your sons over the years." King Xu said seriously.
After speaking, he also knelt down and bowed.
is usually restricted by many complicated etiquette, and suddenly so sensational, whether it is the emperor or the king, it is inevitable that they are a little uncomfortable.
King Xu knelt down without hesitation and knocked his head three times.
The emperor was shocked in his heart, at a warm moment like usual, a father must help his child up and hug him, right? I'm sorry, but this is at the Son of Heaven's house.
Although the emperor muttered in his heart, his face was still unwavering, and he even nodded kindly, showing an extremely relieved smile, and said, "Got it, go down." ”
When King Xu saw the emperor's reaction, he didn't think much about it, and retreated happily.
The emperor looked at the back of King Xu's departure in a daze, and thought in his heart. The hall was very quiet, only the occasional wind blew, and the click of chess pieces falling was very clear. The emperor turned his head and happened to see Zhu Gonggong take another move, and unsurprisingly ate the chess piece that the emperor had just slipped and made a mistake.
The emperor was speechless, he raised his hand to mess up the chess pieces on the chessboard, and for a while, the black and white chess pieces fell to the ground with a snap regardless of each other, and he said angrily, "I'm still in the mood to play chess here, why don't you go and check the whereabouts of that Quan Yin for me!" ”
"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the day when Gongzi Quan agreed to report to the palace!" Gonggong Zhu bent down to remind, and the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.
Although the emperor had known about this matter for a long time, the words of King Xu's oath still made the emperor have some bad associations. In recent days, he had some ominous premonitions in his heart, so his temper was a little uncontrollable, and the day before yesterday, he reprimanded King Xu fiercely in front of several old ministers in the court.
The emperor frowned: "Then go check it too." ”
