Chapter 648: Settling Accounts After the Autumn
When the emperor said this, his eyes kept looking at the faces of everyone, and he saw that they all looked worried, for fear that the emperor would suddenly see him.
Lu Qingyi wasn't worried about anything, on the surface he was just a small messenger, and this matter could still hit his head.
"Zhang Eryuan, as an official of our dynasty, has always colluded with forces in foreign lands." The emperor was silent for about half a pillar of incense, and felt that everyone's attitude was in place before he opened his mouth.
Shen Xi had been looking at the people in the audience, and when he heard the name Zhang Eryuan, several of them trembled.
The emperor naturally kept everyone's reaction in mind, and then he said the names of several officials, and this sudden court meeting lasted for a whole afternoon, and it was dark before it ended.
"Shen Xi, don't leave yet." As soon as Shen Xi pulled Lu Qingyi and the two of them out of the gate of the main hall, the old eunuch grabbed the two of them.
Lu Qingyi frowned: "Is there anything else the emperor has told us?" ”
"It should be...... You two stay first. After the old eunuch said this, he turned and entered the main hall.
Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi glanced at each other, and the two stopped their steps and waited outside the hall for orders. After waiting for a pillar of incense, the old eunuch came out again.
"You two come with me first." The old eunuch led the two of them in the direction of the emperor's bedroom.
Shen Xi couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, wouldn't it be better to discuss something in the main hall? Why change places.
The old eunuch looked back at Shen Xi's expression, smiled and said, "The emperor estimates that the two of you haven't eaten much for a day, so I asked you to go over and order things, and have a meal by the way." ”
"I see." Shen Xi was a little embarrassed.
But having said that, Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi both understood in their hearts that a big reason for being able to go to the emperor's bedroom was to hide people's eyes.
By the time the place came, the table was already full of food. Shen Xi didn't think it before, but now she saw the food on the table with her own eyes, smelled the fragrant smell, and her stomach screamed very unhappily.
The old eunuch smiled: "Look, they're all hungry, hurry up and sit down and eat first." ”
"We don't have to wait for the emperor?" Shen Xi asked tentatively, in fact, he wished that he could eat it now.
The old eunuch shook his head: "The emperor still has something to discuss with the Qianluo envoy, you two should eat first." ”
After saying this, the old eunuch turned and walked out of the room. Shen Xi looked at Lu Qingyi years ago, and his brows never loosened.
"What are you thinking?" Shen Xi asked softly while stuffing something into his mouth.
Lu Qingyi looked at the food in front of him, braised pork ribs, steamed fish...... It's all meat, and I feel irritable in my heart.
If the emperor can keep the two of them, things must not be so simple. In the main hall just now, the emperor dealt with a few insignificant minor officials.
There is another thing that Lu Qingyi can't understand, seeing that it was the eldest prince who colluded with the foreign land, why in the end, it was the eldest prince's people who shot at the foreign land? Isn't that a paradox? vp
The doubts in his heart became thicker and thicker, and Lu Qingyi sighed: "I didn't think about anything, you hurry up and eat." ”
Time passed gradually, and Shen Xi couldn't open his eyes until the emperor came. Stripped of his majesty, the current emperor looked like an ordinary old man.
But whether it is Lu Qingyi or Shen Xi, who dares to regard the emperor in front of him as a real old man? Shen Xi's eyes opened, and he suddenly lost his sleepiness.
"You two have already eaten it." The emperor smiled after leaving.
Lu Qingyi hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the minister has eaten." ”
The emperor nodded, first sat down on the huge chair in the center of the palace, and then picked up an ornament on the table.
Lu Qingyi looked at it from a distance, that ornament was not ordinary, but like a general's tiger talisman. Merely...... I don't know which general's.
"You should have a lot of doubts in your heart." The emperor looked up at Lu Qingyi, and said it categorically.
Lu Qingyi didn't hide it anymore, and nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister really can't understand, why does the eldest prince want his people to do something to the foreign land?" Aren't they all together? ”
He has no real evidence of the collusion between the eldest prince and the foreign land. And to be honest, Lu Qingyi couldn't figure out what kind of attitude the emperor was now.
"The people of the eldest prince are not stupid, and they know that things may be exposed, so they will let those people kill people." The emperor seemed to have expected that Lu Qingyi might ask this question: "It's just ...... Let's investigate his shadow guard first. ”
"Oh, by the way, those people were not found by the eldest prince himself, they were all General He's people." Huang Shang played with the tiger talisman in his hand and suddenly spoke.
Although Lu Qingyi had a conjecture in his heart, he was never sure. Seeing that the emperor said this, he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is General He ...... now?" Taken away from the army? ”
"What do you mean by that?" The emperor glanced at Lu Qingyi with disgust: "The whole world is not the king's land, what else is not mine in this world?" I just got what I was supposed to get back. ”
Lu Qingyi's mood at this time was more than a shock, how much power was hidden behind General He, he didn't know. How could it be all at once......
Shen Xi was also extremely surprised in her heart, before General He was seized of military power, she had not heard a single rumor. It's as if it fell from the sky, it's incredible.
The emperor had a smile on his face: "Under normal circumstances, I really can't drain him all at once, so what if it's a rebellion?" ”
Rebellion has been a major crime since ancient times, and it is the kind that will punish the nine clans. Prior to this, the emperor had been evading General He's strength, but the He family had a big business, and he really couldn't take it for a while.
But it's all based on their ostensible allegiance to the royal family. Shen Xi's heart was full of surprise: "Did the He family really do this kind of thing? ”
"The He family doesn't have the courage yet." The emperor snorted lightly: "I am the emperor, I say they rebel, they are rebellion." ”
"Besides, isn't colluding with foreign lands to try to make me abdicate?" The emperor sneered: "That is, I took this opportunity to deal with them by the way." ”
Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while. The emperor is the emperor, a species that is beyond men and women, even if the other party is his own son, there is no ambiguity in the move.
"I called you two here because I have something to command." The emperor may have realized that his tone was a little tough, and his tone slowed down a bit.
