Chapter 48: You Stay
The verdict against Cao Jun was thus settled, and he neither defended himself in the court, nor did he ask the emperor to forgive him.
He just knelt on the ground and waited quietly for the emperor's fate.
Ever since he accepted this mission, he had not thought that he would survive the day.
Seeing the sun tomorrow is his greatest expectation.
Cao Jun looked at the emperor in front of him coldly, but his heart was like a hundred flowers blooming.
If Zhao Hong is not removed, there will be a second and third Cao Jun in Jingyang City. And next time, they won't use such a trick as malaria!
Stepping into the southern country of Zhaonan and opening up the territory is just around the corner.
"Come on, drag Cao Jun down, and ask for a kill at noon!" The Emperor tore up the letter in his hand and said viciously.
As soon as the words fell, the guards outside the hall immediately came in and dragged Cao Jun out.
Until now, Cao Jun has not said a word. His death was expected.
"Now that this matter has been decided, you Aiqing should step back first." The emperor waved his hand and said.
After speaking, Ning Xianting suddenly stepped forward and said: "This matter is related to the safety of the two countries, and the emperor should also show his attitude, so that the emperor of the neighboring country will no longer have the heart of arrogance." ”
Hearing this, all the ministers reacted one after another. This is not an ordinary murder incident, but an important matter that implicates both countries.
If the emperor does not show his attitude, I am afraid that the Zhaonan Kingdom will continue to suffer disasters in the future.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ning is justified in what he said." Kuang Shiheng immediately raised his hand and said: "This time the neighboring country is indeed deceiving people too much, if it is not dealt with seriously, it will inevitably cause endless troubles!" ”
Seeing that Kuang Shiheng also said this, all the ministers immediately said in unison: "I implore the emperor to deal with it seriously and set an example!" ”
Hearing this, the emperor's face was a little gloomy again. Are they pushing him?
Sure enough, every word of the ministers affected every move of the ministers all the time.
This made him feel at ease to completely decentralize power, once someone rebelled, then his throne was in danger.
"I have my own opinions on this matter, so I don't need to say much." The Emperor frowned and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, if you need a minister to lead an army to attack a neighboring country, the minister's definition is not to be shirked!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Kuang Shiheng said with iron bones, without the slightest fear in his eyes.
If you talk about who in this court is willing to be brave and righteous and die generously, Kuang Shiheng should be the first!
Hearing Kuang Shiheng's resignation, the emperor suddenly became much more pleasant.
He painstakingly placed an informant by his side in order to monitor his words and deeds, so that he would not dare to rebel.
If it seems that you have really been thinking for a long time, you will be wise and decisive!
"Shi Heng, I know your heart. But now is the time when the world is in balance, and how many people will be displaced and how many white bones will be displaced. ”
The emperor said affectionately, and his words showed his wisdom and benevolence.
Although he wanted to set foot in neighboring countries and expand the borders of Zhaonan.
But at present, the neighboring countries are developing rapidly, and the division in the army is like a tiger.
If Zhao Nanguo really started a war, he was not sure that the soldiers led by Kuang Shiheng would be able to annihilate the enemy army and capture the neighboring country!
Hearing the emperor's words, Kuang Shiheng immediately replied: "Yes, the minister is not thoughtful, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" ”
Since serving as a general of the national government, Kuang Shiheng has given complete trust to the emperor.
He always thought that he was this thousand-mile horse, and the emperor was his Bole!
So no matter what happened, he always stood in front of the emperor without hesitation.
Even if he is asked to fight a battle with little hope, he has no regrets!
"Now, Zhong Aiqing doesn't have any other doubts, right?" The Emperor asked with a kind smile again.
This time, no one spoke again, and there was silence in the Nanhua Palace. They all knew that no one could change the emperor's mind.
Seeing that everyone did not speak, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. If no one had disobeyed him, there would have been such a peaceful scene in the court.
"In that case, all Aiqing should step aside." The emperor stood up lazily and said, "Retreat!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the emperor slowly added: "Bei Nian, you stay for the time being." ”
Seeing that the emperor mentioned his name, Xue Beinian's steps were immediately retracted. He leaned over respectfully and said, "Yes." ”
Hearing the emperor's words, Ning Xianting paused slightly for a moment, then turned around and walked out.
The court, where the ministers were originally standing, became quiet in an instant. In the entire hall, only the emperor and Xue Beinian were left.
"I don't know what else the emperor commands?" Xue Beinian narrowed his clear eyes and asked softly.
"In the northern year, I left you because I valued you. You don't understand my intentions, do you? The emperor slowly walked down from his high position and said with a smile.
"The ministers are sparse and shallow, but they can be valued by the emperor, and the ministers are grateful."
As soon as the words fell, the emperor immediately laughed, patted Xue Beinian on the shoulder and said: "Hahaha, Beinian, I really didn't misunderstand you, now your heart is getting better and better!" ”
"The emperor praised it falsely." Xue Beinian immediately bowed down and responded.
Now he is no longer the self he was back then, and in the face of the emperor's hypocrisy, he actually began to make false accusations.
Both of them are acting on the spot, but they still take the trouble to play it over and over again.
"During this time, you will stay in Jingyi for the time being, and go to the palace to accompany me in your spare time."
The emperor raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I really need a pillar like you by my side!" ”
If it was Xue Beinian in the past, he would definitely be excited by these words.
But Xue Beinian, who was once young and vigorous, had already died in Heyuan County.
"The emperor looks at the ministers, which is the blessing of the ministers. The ministers should do their best to live up to the emperor's high expectations. ”
After that, the smile in the corner of the emperor's eyes became more and more obvious, and the fine lines around him softened.
"Of course, you will temporarily stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion during this time. If there's anything short or missing, just tell me. The emperor patted Xue Beinian on the shoulder and said.
Hearing this, Xue Beinian suddenly realized. Isn't it to let yourself live in the Prime Minister's Mansion just to spy on Prime Minister Ning's court?
He finally understood the emperor's intentions!
Ning Xianting has the grace of knowing him, and he will definitely not betray him.
If Rin had saved his life, he would never have fallen into her unkindness and injustice!
Since the emperor wants him to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion temporarily, why don't he protect the Ning Mansion together like her?
It's just that......
Staying in Ning Mansion by himself was afraid that it would make Ning Jiheng angry.
Thinking of Ning Jiheng's angry appearance, Xue Beinian vaguely wanted to laugh.
This time, it's not that he wants to stay here, but the emperor has appointed him to stay here, and he can't help it.
But in all fairness, I can be considered a blessing in disguise. Being able to see Rin Ruo every day in the Prime Minister's Mansion can be regarded as knowing his long-cherished wish.
As long as you can see her!
