Chapter 545: You Take Yourself Too Seriously
His hands were dirty, and there were a lot of oil stains and wine stains on them. A few fingers were even more red, swollen and painful. The delicacies carefully created by the chefs in the imperial dining room are not only full of color and flavor, but also have extraordinary heat retention capabilities.
The emperor suffered this loss, but seeing that others suffered a lot of losses, it didn't matter if he was hurt himself. It still had to be cleaned up a little, so the emperor took a handkerchief directly from the hand of one of the concubines who came to his side, and wiped it himself without the help of these two concubines. It is inevitable that the movements will be more cautious, after all, it still hurts a little. And it's not someone else who hurts, it's yourself!
"King Xian, are you guilty?" While wiping his hands, the emperor looked down at everyone present, and finally his eyes fell on Xuanyuan Yichen's body, and the eyes of the gloomy owl made people shudder. The weird tone also makes people's hearts beat drums.
"The younger brother doesn't know, please let the emperor make it clear." Xuanyuan Yichen was already out of the way, anyway, no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be worse than what happened after that dinner party two years ago.
"Idle King, what an idle king, I and the ministers really thought that you didn't know anything, but it turned out to be one scene after another that you carefully planned. You said that you are a gentleman, you will only eat, drink and have fun all day long, linger in the casino flowers, and cause trouble, I see that you are very capable, and the city government is also very deep! You said that you are powerless, frail and sickly, but I see that your health is very good, and you are also a good martial artist. A lot of deliberate concealment and deliberate deception, King Xian, what should you be guilty of? "The emperor clearly came prepared, one by one, and said it really well.
The ministers also nodded again and again, and some naturally received instructions from the emperor in advance, as long as they echoed or advanced at the critical moment. There are also ministers who have not been able to become the emperor's confidants, and it is impossible to get the news in advance. But I have to admit that Xuanyuan Yichen has no power to restrain the chicken, and he doesn't know any martial arts at all, which is indeed a deep-rooted impression in the hearts of all ministers. It is for this reason that an idle king with no brains, no skills, and only a throne is almost never taken seriously by everyone, and when he is mentioned, he always has a disdainful and unworthy look.
Maybe it's a preconceived relationship, if the emperor doesn't do anything, just uses his mouth to desperately say how the idle king is good at martial arts, and how strong the martial arts are, even if everyone agrees seriously on the surface, most of them refuse to believe it in their hearts, and at most they have to be deeply skeptical. That's why the emperor will simply not do anything, let Xuanyuan Yichen do it himself, seeing is believing, then there is no need for the emperor to explain, and it is not Xuanyuan Yichen's turn to cover it up again, everyone has firmly believed it.
As for how the emperor knows, it still has to start with the banquet that night two years ago. When it happened in the palace of the noble concubine that night, the emperor was not there, and he didn't know it at first, but then he naturally knew the details of everything that happened from the mouths of many palace people, including of course, when he saw that Liu Qingyan was in danger, Xuanyuan Yichen could no longer hide the truth about his martial arts, and in order to protect Liu Qingyan, he fought with those black-clothed people by himself. The secret, which had been hidden for almost twenty years, was finally revealed that night.
I have to say that at that time, although Linglong chose to cooperate with Sun Bao, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, it was not with the emperor after all. Her goal has always been Liu Qingyan, never Xuanyuan Yichen. She even thought that as long as she succeeded in killing Liu Qingyan, she would immediately go over to help Xuanyuan Yichen and let her kill Sun Bao by herself, which was a matter of no doubt and no doubt. No matter how much she did to be sorry for Liu Qingyan, she was actually sorry for Xuanyuan Yichen, but from beginning to end, she never divulged a word about Xuanyuan Yichen's various secrets behind her in front of Sun Bao or even the emperor. Among them, of course, Xuanyuan Yichen actually knows martial arts, and he is the secret of a martial arts master.
After a moment of surprise, everyone also clearly knew the fact that Xuanyuan Yichen's martial arts were good. And, it's not too late to know. Everyone is a smart person, and after listening to the emperor's words, they can guess what the emperor wants to do.
At this time, everyone also understood in their hearts that the emperor had engaged in such a big battle before, and directly turned a good banquet hall into a dirtier and worse than the vegetable market, especially a dangerous place, it is estimated that it is necessary to use practical actions to confirm to everyone that Xuanyuan Yichen not only knows martial arts, but also martial arts are quite good. However, it can also be seen from the fact that the emperor did it himself, rather than calling the eunuchs and guards around him to do it, and the emperor probably wants to take revenge in person, so that Xuanyuan Yichen knows how powerful he is. It's a pity that his actions proved that Xuanyuan Yichen's martial arts were good, but he failed to achieve this wish in his heart.
When the emperor's words fell, a minister immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, what the idle king has committed is a great crime of bullying the king!" It was like shouting a slogan, and everyone shouted in unison: "The great crime of bullying the king!" Among them, there are even a few ladies and even a few young ladies. The most outstanding performance turned out to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion next to Prime Minister Chen. Not long ago, he just looked at Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan with disdain and disdain, and now he was already full of anger and hatred.
I don't know where this Miss Chen suddenly came out of such intense anger and hatred, could it be that her carefully dressed hairstyle and carefully selected clothes were stained with a lot of soup and water, which completely destroyed the excellent image of the ladies she worked hard to hold? But she must not have thought of it, or was not worried at all, that her slightly crazy appearance of staring and shouting like this would destroy her image even more?
This, in fact, is also very understandable. The more difficult the time, the more you choose to stand firmly behind the emperor, the more fully you support the emperor, even if you destroy your image in front of you, but you must be able to leave a very important and exciting image in the eyes of the emperor. Then, everything she did and gave was worth it. And one of them, she still has a veil covering most of her face, and when she takes it off, who will care and repeat the things she sat down when she used to wear the veil!
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that the crusade of the ministers was getting stronger and stronger, and the emperor seemed to be about to open his mouth to directly put a crime of bullying the monarch on himself, Xuanyuan Yichen suddenly spoke, interrupted everyone's words, and said, "The title of the younger brother 'Idle King' was given by the emperor himself when he was alive. The younger brother is frail and sickly, and he has had it since he was a child, which is clear to everyone in the country of Daliangguo. If the emperor is suspicious, he can ask the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose his younger brother. The younger brother does know a few martial arts, when this is the private matter of the younger brother, there is no need for the younger brother to publicize it. The younger brother did not deliberately cover it up, but he also did not deliberately conceal it, this is also because in the peaceful and prosperous era of the Great Liang Kingdom, there was never a time when the minister needed to take matters into his own hands to save his life. Even in the past few years, the younger brother of the minister is fortunate to have these two moments, so that the younger brother can come back alive from the battlefield of the two wars with the country, and he can still see the emperor and the ministers. may also guarantee that in his lifetime, the next time his brother goes to the battlefield again, he will be able to win the war and come back alive again. ”
Xuanyuan Yichen said it in one breath, and suddenly forced all kinds of people present to be speechless. His title of "Idle King" was given by the emperor first, and it was none of his business. If everyone questions this title, they are questioning the emperor. This kind of thing is something that everyone would never dare to do, even the current emperor.
He is weak and frail, this is a well-known thing, let the imperial doctor come to check, he is also fearless, who let him enter the palace to participate in this banquet, he has already found the divine doctor Dongfang Ze to sit and make all preparations. And he believed that the hands and feet done by the divine doctor Dongfang Ze, no other doctor would ever find any of them, even how subtle the flaws were. For this, he did not believe in himself, but unswervingly believed in the ability and absolute status of the divine doctor Dongfang Ze in his professional field.
Speaking of his martial arts, it can only be said that he has never personally admitted that he knows martial arts, as for what everyone thinks, and why everyone is so wishful thinking that he is a person who does not know martial arts and even has poor physical strength, it is just everyone's self-righteousness, let alone his business, after all, he is just an ordinary person, and he is not an immortal, so he can't influence everyone's thoughts about him. Therefore, the reason why everyone thinks it is wrong is everyone's own problem, and it has nothing to do with him.
As for his last two sentences, he is actually reminding the emperor and the ministers that after defeating the country twice in a row, everyone has made great contributions, but the greatest credit is undoubtedly himself. Not to mention why he went to the battlefield, just rush him to be able to return victorious, as long as he is a person from the Great Liang Country, he can't do anything to him, "Fly the birds, hide the good bow." The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook", or simply "unloading the mill and killing the donkey". His merits, even if he does not get the reward and respect he deserves, must let everyone know in their hearts, no matter how much they want to get rid of him quickly, they can't really get rid of him. Otherwise, if this kind of thing happens again, who else can be assigned to the battlefield. Not to mention, no one can guarantee that such an invasion by other countries will not happen in the future.
"There are not tens of thousands of people in Daliang Country, but there are thousands, Wu can go into battle to kill the enemy, and Wen can rule the country together. Do you think that without an idle king, I can't find a commander who can defeat the enemy country? King Xian, you take yourself too seriously, and you don't take the ministers of civil and military affairs too seriously, right? When the emperor said this, it was clear that he was launching a provocation, so that the ministers could continue to fight against Xuanyuan Yichen together. It's a pity that his trick seems to have failed.
Xuanyuan Yichen looked at the ministers present lightly, and the faint contempt and contempt that appeared in his deep eyes were clearly saying: "As far as these courtiers in front of him, this king is really suspicious, let alone defeating the enemy army, whether he dares to go to the battlefield or not, whether he will be weak, is a big question!" ”
