Chapter 550: A Perfect Ending
The host takes the initiative to keep guests, and there is no time limit. What a hospitable and hospitable host, and what a deep affection he had with his guests. It sounds so good, but when the matter of staying a guest happened between the current emperor and the idle king, it doesn't seem to be the case at all.
The emperor said that he wanted Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan to stay in the palace for a while, and deliberately pretended to be an understatement, and even showed a little disguised brother, friend and brother Gong, as if they hadn't seen each other for two years, so they wanted to live together, and they could meet more time, and then they could also contact their feelings more. But in fact, he simply did not allow the other party's refusal. His face also showed a look of a yin owl that seemed to have taken root a long time ago, and said that he couldn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots. A discerning person knows at a glance that he just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to solve it once and for all.
Therefore, the emperor's expression fell in the eyes of the ministers, in addition to making everyone feel extraordinarily weird, but also made everyone's hearts feel a strong chill. One by one, they couldn't help but look at the door of the banquet hall again, but when they saw that the door was crowded with so many guards, their hands pressed the unsheathed weapons hanging from their waists, everyone had to withdraw their eyes again.
said that he lived for a period of time, but in fact it was just another kind of house arrest or siege, but the location changed from the Xianwang Mansion two years ago to today's palace. The time hasn't changed, it's still night. However, speaking of which, this is a relatively good situation, because at least Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan can live for a few more days. In fact, the two of them were guessing in their hearts that the emperor might still have some taboos, so they didn't want to be ruthless to them in front of so many civil and military ministers. Therefore, the emperor retreated as an advance, ostensibly saying that he would stay for a longer period of time, and only wait for the ministers to leave, and the emperor, who turned his face faster than a book, could immediately attack them directly, and suddenly asked for the lives of the husband and wife.
Early tomorrow morning, the emperor can announce to the world in a grand manner, on the first night of the stay in the palace, when they walked at night, they accidentally fell into the pool and drowned, and a stone suddenly fell from the rockery and smashed them to death, or it may be that the banquet drank too much wine and finally got drunk to death. It is more likely that they were attacked by the Black-clad Assassin again, and both husband and wife died at the hands of the Assassin's sword, and the Assassin fled in the direction of the Idle King's Mansion after killing someone.
The emperor has sent a large number of men to surround the Xianwang Mansion and search every person and every corner of it. The emperor can even tell the world that when these assassins tried to assassinate the king and princess of Xian, they were besieged by the combined efforts of the imperial guards in the palace, and they were also left with obvious wounds. As long as you follow these clues, you will definitely be able to find out the assassins and bring them to justice in order to comfort the spirits of the idle king and the idle princess.
There is also a more perfect happy ending that these assassins are none other than the personal guards of King Xian and Princess Xian, that is, the first and fifteenth and Xiao Yue. Unexpectedly, the assassin two years ago was Linglong, and the assassin two years later was the three of them. As the so-called day and night defense, it is difficult to prevent thieves. It's just strange, the idle king and the idle princess are not clear about the use of people and the lack of clear knowledge, so they will ruin their lives.
At the same time, there is another rumor in the court and among the people, that is, the reason why these four personal guards will become the assassins of the men in black is because there is a real black hand behind them. It's just that this black hand is very hidden, without any evidence or clues, but it seems to have heard that this person maybe, maybe, probably, maybe it is King Xiande and Princess Xiande......
Obviously, when they were so dangerous, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan were not idle at all, and even began to fantasize about what would happen after they stayed in the palace, and the more they thought about it, the more enjoyable they felt. Because, it is really very likely that the emperor intends to do this, and some necessary processes may have been arranged a long time ago. As long as there is time to operate and carry out little by little, maybe it won't be long before the emperor can wipe out all the thorns in his eyes, and then he can live his life as a worry-free emperor without any troubles and dangers.
Then again, if the emperor hadn't thought of such a back, in addition to proving how stupid the emperor was, and without foresight, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan couldn't even wait to say their perfect plan, just waiting for the emperor to implement it.
Of course, in addition to thinking about this, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan were actually also thinking about whether they were going to have another "palace escape" in the middle of the night tonight. It's just that last time there were several people, and this time it was just the two of them. But because of this, they are more sure in their hearts.
The emperor probably guessed this, he glanced at so many imperial guards guarding the door, the guards understood, originally just pressed the hand on the scabbard, moved it slightly, and then exerted force, only to hear a "bang" sound, the guards pulled out the sword in unison, and then pointed straight ahead, it was exactly in the direction where Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan were standing.
It's just that Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan still don't feel anything, they always look like the old gods are all expected, but those ministers are scared one by one. Originally, because they had drunk a lot of wine, they were all blushing and thick-necked, but after seeing the long sword that shone dazzlingly under the double illumination of the light and the moonlight, they all turned white with fright, except for the eyes and eyebrows or the bare nose hair, which were still black, the whole face was frightened to bloodlessness, and it was miserable and white.
The emperor looked at these ministers angrily, his lips opened slightly, and he spat out another sentence: "A bunch of useless waste!" He looked angrily at Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, who were diametrically opposed to the ministers, and then said, "King Xian, if you change your mind now, these guards will send you back to King Xian's Mansion to ensure your safety along the way." If you don't come to your senses, then these guards will send you to a palace that I have specially arranged for you, and then guard the outside to ensure your safety. Moreover, there is not a single idle person in that palace, not even a few pieces of furniture, only a lotus pond, it is the flowering season, it is clean enough, you can think about it, maybe it can help you change your mind as soon as possible! ”
Liu Qingyan frowned, only feeling that the place that the emperor said, the more he listened to it, the more it looked like a cold palace. When I came to this world, the first place I appeared was the Cold Palace, and I lived there for a few days, and I was very impressed by the empty and overgrown weeds, and there was a huge lotus pond.
It's just that, looking at the emperor's expression, he doesn't seem to want Liu Qingyan to revisit his hometown, he has already forgotten it, or he never knew about it. I just feel that this place is the most chilling, even the most terrifying place in the entire palace, and I sincerely feel that this place is the most suitable for Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, the husband and wife.
That place is the place where the real Liu Qingyan died with the fragrance of the jade, the place where he later came back from the dead, traveled through time and space, and replaced him, and it was also the place where he first met Sun Bao and the Sixth Prince, and these two people later died. Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan's heart faintly gave rise to an ominous feeling.
The ministers didn't mind what region the emperor wanted to send to King Xian and Princess Xian, they only knew that if King Xian agreed now, then there would be nothing to do with them. If the idle king still needs a while to think about it, it seems that he may not have anything to do, but if the idle king keeps thinking about it and does not agree, then sooner or later, everyone may still have to gather together and continue to discuss or persuade this matter until he finally gets the result that the emperor wants.
Thinking about it this way, the ministers didn't dare to relax at all, and they still had to do their part and spend some lips and tongues to persuade the idle king. Speaking of which, the reasons are nothing more than those, "the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister", everything in this world belongs to the emperor, and the idle king occupies that share, in fact, there is no need for this at all, and there is no meaning.
The emperor is good-tempered, and he can also carefully prepare a banquet, reason with King Xian here, and use a polite and courteous way to persuade him that what should belong to the emperor is returned to the emperor. If it's really useless, you don't say anything about saluting first and then soldiering. Anyway, the greatest power is in the hands of the emperor, as long as he sends troops to the border, whether it is the soldiers there or the ordinary people, what the emperor wants, they are not only given with both hands.
In that case, it will inevitably bring a lot of harassment to the soldiers and ordinary people on the border, and maybe the life on the border that has finally improved will soon become even worse. This has no effect on the emperor, anyway, he doesn't care in the first place. However, for the local people, it was not easy to climb from the trough to the high mountain, but as a result, one accidentally fell directly from the high mountain to the lower cliff.
What the idle king has lost is only some money, and for the idle king, it is really harmless. But for the people and soldiers there, it was too difficult to accept. No matter how the idle king said, he has also lived there for two years, and he has an extraordinary friendship with everyone, so he should also think more about the people on the border. You can't be so selfish and only think about yourself!
Ministers, you and I are saying every word, these truths, at first glance, seem to be quite reasonable, and this spirit of compassion, self-sacrifice, and dedication to everyone is simply moving to see, sad to hear, and tearful to hear. However, as long as you think about it a little bit in your head, you will feel that these so-called "truths" are simply shit, smellier than shit, and disliked by others.
Under the pretext that everything in the world is his name, the emperor wants to snatch it from Xuanyuan Yichen's hands. If he couldn't grab it, he put the idle king under house arrest. This is not enough, he can even go directly to the hands of the common people to rob it. In doing so, it is possible to get the support of so many ministers. On the contrary, it is the right lord of the idle king, but he is recognized by everyone as the initiator and the source of all disasters by everyone. And they are still so ignorant of current affairs, which will bring trouble, even danger, to the emperor, especially so many of their ministers.
What kind of emperor has what kind of courtiers, so it can be seen.
