Chapter 426: Filled with grief and anger
For King Shou's flattering words, Emperor Li's expression was always faint and did not show a particularly happy look. just waved his hand and ordered Zhang Ke to arrange for someone to invite Xiangrui in.
But after a while, I saw two little waiters carrying a rosewood shelf in, and a white jade basin was placed in the middle of the shelf, which was filled with water and lying on a giant turtle in his hand, and he could vaguely see a few words engraved on the back of the turtle.
King Shou, who has always been astute, helped Emperor Li to step down to the giant tortoise, and then saw six words engraved on the back of the tortoise, 'The holy monarch is out, and the world is safe.' The font is red, but it doesn't look like it's artificially carved, but it looks like it's born on it.
Immediately asked where this turtle came from, Xu Mingyuan had been instructed to calmly reply, saying that the turtle was when he passed through Luoshui, and Luoshui opened to both sides, and there was a turtle dividing the water and spitting out people's words, I am a divine envoy to offer Rui to the emperor to celebrate the prosperous world. When Xu Mingyuan woke up from his dream, he rushed out and found a giant turtle lying on the boat, with words on the turtle's back. Seeing this wonder, Xu Mingyuan was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to live and offer this turtle to Emperor Li on a certain day.
Although Emperor Li doesn't particularly like to love Xiangrui, he can't help but be happy in the face of such an interesting thing, and King Shou is particularly good at welcoming him, and he doesn't know how many words he said. The joy on his face gradually became stronger, and he immediately ordered Zhang Ke to raise this turtle and assigned a special attendant to serve this turtle, and he must not be lazy.
Emperor Li, who got the auspicious rui, swept away his previous gloomy mood, and rewarded Xu Mingyuan in a good mood, not to mention, even King Shou was praised by him several times. However, although Emperor Li was a little moved by the Zen Ceremony proposed by King Shou, he also felt that such a major event could not be done easily, after all, no emperor in the past dynasties dared to carry out the Zen Ceremony so hastily.
When the father and son were talking about other things, the guards outside the door suddenly came to report that Qi Wuyin was outside asking to see him.
Hearing this, Emperor Li laughed loudly, "You see that he is very well-informed, and I have only just gotten auspicious and he has entered the palace to congratulate me." ”
These words fell on King Shou's ears, and he smiled on his lips, if it weren't for the presence of Emperor Li, I was afraid that the smile on his face would be very exaggerated. He suppressed the wanton smile on his face in time, and looked at the door calmly, but his trembling hands revealed his excitement.
glanced at Emperor Li, the king of Shou on the side, and there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Qi Wuyin, who was led by the inner attendant, slowly stepped into the hall, knelt on the ground in a panic, bowed three times, and then raised his head. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Emperor Li and King Shou were both shocked, and they were surprised that the head of Wu Gotai, who had always acted safely, would have such an embarrassed time, and King Shou couldn't help but feel strange, he didn't expect Qi Wuyin to make Emperor Li believe that he would do such a trick.
"Qi Zhangshi, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Li, who had always been keen, saw Qi Wuyin's appearance and understood that he was really afraid of something big, and his eyes stared at Qi Wuyin deeply.
Hearing this, Qi Wuyin bowed again and raised his head with red eyes, his tone choked, "Your Majesty...... It is the incompetence of the minister, the crime of the minister, and the death of ten thousand people. Betraying His Majesty's trust in the minister, the Privy Council was attacked by traitors today, and the minister led his troops to fight to no avail, so that the rebel Gu Changge was robbed. I also hope that Your Majesty will condemn the ministers. "Love me
"What?" Emperor Li raised his eyes and his gaze became cold, word by word, "What did you just say?"
"The rebel Gu Changge was robbed!"
As soon as these words fell, Emperor Li slammed the table and stood up, trembling all over, his face seemed to have become extremely strange because of anger, and pointed at Qi Wuyin and said in a trembling voice: "You tell me what you say clearly!" What the hell is going on, who dares to be so rampant at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and dares to storm the Privy Council during the day, rob the rebels, and at night, will they be able to break into the palace and cut off my head. ”
"Your Majesty is a bold man, and the ministers also hate him. But...... This person has a special identity, although the minister knows it in his heart, but the evidence is not conclusive, and the minister does not dare to discuss it. The words fell to Qi Wuyin, touching the ground with his forehead, and his tone was slightly cold.
"You don't dare to say it! Don't I dare to listen? I want to see who dares to be so rampant. ”
Emperor Li, who was extremely angry, had no other expression on his face, just stared at Qi Wuyin coldly.
After the words fell, Qi Wuyin straightened up and glanced at King Shou, touched the beads of sweat under the water, and said in a deep voice: "It's not that the minister doesn't dare to say it, it's just that the minister is afraid that if he says it, he will hurt His Majesty's heart." Who has a very good relationship with the rebel, who spoke out to defend Gu Changge when she was captured by the minister, Your Majesty knows better than the minister, isn't it? When the rebel was robbed this time, he not only did not help, but even disturbed the situation in the name of arresting the thief and obstructed the minister from arresting the rebel...... Such arrogance is a matter of circumstance...... I really don't know how to show your majesty. ”
Although it was not specified in the words, the people present had already heard the meaning of the words, and now it was the right time for the father and son to rebuild the old relationship, and such an incident was born in vain, which really did not make Emperor Li feel extremely indignant, as if what he had done before was just planning for today's events.
"It's unlikely, isn't it?" King Shou made a look of surprise, although he knew early on that this was Qi Wuyin's arrangement that would allow Ye Linchen to rob people away, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he glanced at Emperor Li sideways, and soon he reacted and immediately reprimanded: "Father, the emperor is angry, although Linchen is a little confused on weekdays, but he will never do such a rebellious thing." What's more, what a big crime it is to rob a rebel like Gu Changge, Lin Chen doesn't dare, right? ”
On the surface, these words sounded like they were excusing Ye Linchen, but in fact, they were inciting Emperor Li's anger and suspicion.
Sure enough, Emperor Li was stunned in place, staring at the crowd coldly, at the moment, he only felt dizzy and light-headed, even his legs felt sore, weak, and he couldn't speak for a long time, Zhang Ke saw this, and hurriedly went up to pat him on the back, and it was so difficult for Emperor Li to ease up in time, and only after a long time did he tremble and said: "Father Wu, these people really want to deceive the sky!" Don't let King Jin enter the palace as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, yes, why don't you go and summon King Jin into the palace to ask your father for his guilt." King Shou hugged Emperor Li on the back and handed him tea with concern: "Father, you have to ensure your health." Don't be for Linchen...... Well, the popularity of King Jin is so bad that the body. ”
If Emperor Li's mood was still very happy just now, then now it is a sweep of joy and only anger. Originally, because he had been estranged from the son of King Jin for many years, he had more or less guilt in his heart, but since he did things better and more according to his own heart, he gave him a little more favor.
