Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Debate
The capital is already stormy!
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Shen Ke happened to meet Ning Chaoge, who was the first to get the news, and then entered the palace together.
The square of Ning Yuan Palace, where the cold wind could only be heard howling outside the day, was now densely packed with many people, Shen Ke and Ning Chaoge only swept it, and found that there were twice as many guards outside Ning Yuan Palace as before, and they were the first to arrive after Qin Guogong.
Qin Guogong and others were stopped outside Ningyuan Palace by Shu Ruhai, and they also made trouble with the kneeling admonition, and even Shu Ruhai couldn't tell what tricks these people were going to play, but the emperor was still inside, and he couldn't let Qin Guogong in no matter what.
"The Duke of Qin, Chang Bo, the Duke of Cangming! Why did it come to such a point, my father's move favored all the people, you are all meritorious princes, why do you need to obstruct your father so much! Let's go back first! The cold wind outside Ningyuan Palace is so strong, you are already old, and you are not afraid of the wind and cold! After Ning Chaoge arrived, he immediately bypassed everyone from the side to the front of Shu Ruhai, reading the book like a sea is to Qin Guogong in every way, Ning Chaoge, who took the opportunity to arrive early, immediately pulled the topic to himself, before he came, Aunt Ma had already conveyed the queen's words to him word for word, although the Marquis of Zhenguo and Qin Guogong's family are close to each other, but if Ning Chaoge can show the side of the man who does not recognize his relatives and destroy his relatives to share the current worries for the emperor, then it will be much easier for Ning Chaoge to take the heir!
Qin Guogong can be said to be the oldest of these meritorious princes, other meritorious princes have inherited two generations, this Qin Guogong is still only a generation, Qin Guogong is now seventy and nine years old, it can be said that he is a rare longevity star, but because of the diligent practice when he was young, he laid a solid foundation and his body was very tough, and his temper was stubborn on weekdays, and he couldn't pull back the nine cows. At that time, his father fought with the founding saint ancestor, he has always followed in the military camp, and also saved the life of the founding saint, quite loved by the founding saint, if it wasn't for Qin Guogong taking the lead, where would Changchang Bocang Ming Gong dare to make trouble!
"Second Highness! The old man is not unreasonable, when the old man was a nine-year-old child, he was also in front of the founding ancestor of the country, now although he is old, but people are not old and confused, the emperor wants to benefit the people, the old man does not dare to say more only to agree, but this is to let us people offer the land under their names, the old man has an opinion! Besides, this year, the emperor took back the military power in the hands of Changchangbo and Cangming Gong, which is the military power assigned by the founding ancestors, and the emperor does not miss the old feelings of our ancestors so much, so that the old man is not cold! The old man is already half a foot in the coffin, and he is not in love with the military power in the opponent, and the old man also has children and grandchildren, how can he not think about them for the sake of the welfare, the emperor is going to force us to death as a meritorious veteran!! ”
Qin Guogong's voice is full of faces, and his old face full of wrinkles and folds is mostly hidden in his sleeves, in the year of the sixtieth year, but he has to stand in the cold wind for the benefit of his children and grandchildren, such an old man, don't say that he is prominent and noble, but without the identity of this Qin Guogong, Ning Chao Ge is like a sea and does not dare to put a shelf on him.
But the one inside is the emperor, and this one is going to have a hard fight with the emperor.
"Qin Guogong, you, you are also standing in the wind, just go to the warm pavilion over there and wait, my father is now meeting King Ning, and I don't have the time to see you! How could my father not know your thoughts, you have made such a big noise, how can your father give you the steps, this matter can't be in a hurry, take your time, and wait for your father to come out and discuss it carefully, you will definitely be able to find a solution! ”
"Qin Guogong, you are already old, why do you still cling to these and not let go? The blessings of their children and grandchildren should be their own schemes! The emperor is not a ruthless person, how can he forget your merits back then? "Shen Ke was walking in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and he was also familiar with this Duke of Qin, and seeing that this Duke of Qin wanted to take a dead end, he also felt that it was inappropriate.
"Second Highness, if the emperor is willing to take back his life, the old man is also willing to bear the guilt, the emperor wants to benefit the people, but he can't cut off our lives!" As soon as Qin Guogong raised his head to wipe away his tears, he revealed the teeth that had lost his front teeth that time, and the folds on his face that were already full of old age spots were wrinkled even deeper, with fluttering hair and fluttering clothes, making people feel sad and desolate............
Ning Chaoge sighed secretly in his heart, and was about to speak, but the wind mixed with Ning Cheng's voice floated over.
"Qin Guogong ............"
Qin Guogong turned his head slowly, and when he saw that it was Ning Cheng, he immediately cried again. Shu Ruhai in front of the palace gate saw that Qin Guogong and the others were distracted, and immediately beckoned to Shen Ke and let him enter Ningyuan Palace.
The atmosphere outside Ningyuan Palace was tense, but the warmth in Ningyuan Palace made people feel relaxed, and when Shen Ke entered, the emperor and King Ning were standing side by side behind the Xuan window looking at the ministers and nobles standing in the wind, and whispered something.
"Shen Ke has seen the emperor!"
Hearing Shen Ke's salute, it was the emperor whose lips were squirming, who turned his head, patted King Ning's shoulder and walked in front of Shen Ke: "Shen Ke, do you have a way to deal with these old stubborns?" ”
Shen Ke clenched his fists and bowed his head, just looking at the golden dragon with vivid teeth and claws on the bright yellow placket in front of him.
"Dahe has been a hundred years since the founding of the country, the founding ancestor is the god in the hearts of the people of Dahe, Qin Huanyi had the merit of saving the driver back then, I have always respected him and let him, and it is because of this, although he is now only holding 50,000 heavy soldiers in the Tianwei Mountain, but the prestige in the military department is far more than these 50,000 people, you are from the bottom, you naturally know the status of the ten great meritorious deeds of the founding of the country in the hearts of these soldiers, I thought, take the opportunity to uproot the Qin family, but I don't want the soldiers in the army of the people of the world to feel that I don't miss the old feelings and forget the roots, Qin Huanyi just relied on his own time to make a big deal about what I had done in the past ten years, so that his children and grandchildren could avoid this disaster, Shen Ke, you and I should do one thing! ”
Shen Ke raised his head, then nodded again: "Your Majesty, please command!" ”
"Although Qin Guogong is an old stubborn, but he loves and cherishes talents, knowing that you are my person, or I have made friends with you, these people have long been dissatisfied with me, and I also know it, but now I can't touch them, so I can only fight Qin Huanyi, a rising bird! You go to the Mansion of the State of Qin and give this letter to the old lady! ”
The emperor said, picking up the unsealed letter on the table.
Shen Ke took the pestle and put it in his arms. "The last will obey."
originally thought that the emperor wanted him to do something important to raise troops and shed blood, but he just ran away, but the stone in Shen Ke's heart was not lightened because of this, but because he didn't know what the emperor planned to do, the old lady that the emperor said was not Qin Guogong's wife, but Qin Guogong's cousin, Qin Guogong and his cousin were in love, how could the founding saint have set a marriage contract for him at that time, let him marry the lord of the dynasty, this old lady is also a stubborn temper, after learning that his cousin has married a wife, When he arrived in the nunnery, he lost his hair, and the red face accompanied by the green light passed for more than 30 years, and later after the death of the founding saint and the first Duke of Qin, the Duke of Qin took the old lady back, and waited until the county lord died to straighten it out as his wife, this old lady, it can be said that the only person who will obey the Duke of Qin now, the emperor asked Shen Ke to send the letter to the old lady, that is, he wanted to resolve this conflict without blood, Shen Ke had been to the Duke of Qin's mansion, I have also seen this old lady who has experienced hardships and eventually has a lover and finally becomes a family, and it is not impossible for the emperor to take this road for a while, and now the emperor has only uprooted a Li Guogong, and then he wants to uproot the prince of Qin, Chang Bo Cangminghou, must be more than enough and not enough!
When stepping out of the threshold of Ningyuan Palace, Shen Ke couldn't help but glance at the gray-haired Qin Guogong in front of the crowd, at this time, Ning Chengyou, the Marquis of Zhenguo, and others had already arrived, even the queen's chariot was also walking towards Ningyuan Palace, such a farce initiated by the nobles of the capital has now gathered the forces of the Quartet, and it is still unknown how to stop.
As soon as Shen Ke left, King Ning, who was standing quietly on the side, became excited.
"This is General Shen who pacified the grassland?"
"What? Do you want to accompany you to practice martial arts? It's good to think about it! Your old bones are not enough for Shen Ke to make a move and a half! The emperor was amused by King Ning's starry gaze, and the dark clouds gathered on his forehead suddenly dissipated a little.
King Ning stuck out his tongue: "Then it's free, the minister knows what kind of material he is, and the letter has already been sent!" This is a good show, it should be the emperor's debut, right? ”
"Let's go, Brother Wang will go outside with me!" The emperor stroked his beard and walked with a smile.
King Ning glanced out with the glass of the pane of Naxuan, and solemnly followed behind the emperor!
It was Shu Ruhai who was stuck in front of the threshold of Ning Yuan Palace, and when he heard a light cough behind him, he immediately let go of his body, saluted respectfully, and shouted Long live the emperor in his throat, and the prince of Qin, who was fighting with Ning Cheng and some others, immediately took two steps back and bowed to the emperor.
"What? It's getting bolder! Do you take me, the emperor, in your eyes? It's just a matter of making trouble in the Golden Palace! I will endure it! It actually made trouble in Ningyuan Palace! The emperor slowly walked in front of the several columns of people who had been lined up outside Ning Yuan Palace, his eyes swept over these people one by one like an eagle falcon, the Son of Heaven came forward, Long Yan was furious, this majesty was enough to suppress the noisy voice.
"Your Majesty! The old minister is guilty! But the old minister was also forced to be helpless! Qin Guogong knelt down under the support of Changchang Bocang Minggong.
The emperor's sharp gaze fell on Qin Guogong's body, and a sneer squeezed out of the corner of his mouth: "Heh...... Forced to be helpless? Who forced you? Qin Guogong said to listen, I am in charge with you! ”
"Your Majesty! The old minister thinks that he has been very worried about Dahe for many years, and he can save the Holy Ancestor even if he doesn't want his life, and the division of military power back then was also determined by the Holy Ancestor, and the old minister is not to hold the military power, but the emperor has thought about the feelings in the hearts of our old ministers! Qin Guogong prostrate on the ground, and the old man's voice was slightly hoarse.
Looking at the pale Qin Guogong on the ground, the people who followed him into the palace had no intention of not being moved, and after him, they all shouted long live, and said that the emperor thought twice.
The queen who came in a chariot happened to be in front of the emperor, and after saluting, she stood aside, seeing Ning Chaoge's distressed look, she frowned and glanced at King Ning behind the emperor, and glanced left and right, and did not see the Shen Ke who must have been seen on important occasions in the past.
"If today's peaceful and prosperous world, I have repeatedly reduced the source of troops, and you are not strong enough to enter the sixtieth century, it is reasonable for me to reduce your military power, Changchang Bocang Minggong, you came today, don't you also hold a grudge against reducing your military power?"
