226: Meet the Emperor
Xiao Jiu came to the palace for the first time, it can be said that it is similar to what was on TV in his previous life, but now that he has experienced it himself, it feels really refreshing.
If you want to say how big this palace is, in the words of Tuoba Ji, it is equivalent to half of the capital.
"Later, you will follow closely by the king's side, don't look around and gossip more, you know?"
After successfully entering the palace, there were naturally guards and fathers-in-law guarding Tuoba Ji and Xiao Jiu. Tuoba Ji was worried that Xiao Jiu came to the palace for the first time, he was a little excited, broke the rules, and gave thousands of instructions along the way.
Xiao Jiu was curious, and she was indeed a little excited, but she was not impulsive, she nodded obediently and whispered: "I know!" ”
After walking for two quarters of an hour, I finally arrived at the palace where the emperor handled government affairs.
But... Xiao Jiu was not allowed to enter the hall.
This is expected by Tuoba Ji, and Xiao Jiu can also accept it.
Later, Tuoba Ji entered the palace.
Xiao Jiu was outside, cautiously looking at the guards guarding the temple, and couldn't help but say in his heart...
Well... Not bad... Very handsome!
"In the past, King Ji entered the palace with all the guards, and it was the first time I saw a maidservant." The father-in-law who led the way walked in front of Xiao Jiu with a small waist board, and looked at Xiao Jiu with a sharp look in his eyes.
Xiao Jiu raised his eyebrows, thinking, this is too. The prison is really no different from the sissy in the previous life.
She obeyed the instructions of Tuoba Ji and let this old lady be. No matter how the prison looks, he just bows his head and doesn't say a word.
Soon, granny. The prison didn't embarrass Xiao Jiu, and left with a mocking smile.
Look at the granny. With the back of the prisoner leaving, Xiao Jiu twitched the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Inside the palace.
"Actually, I already knew about it."
After Tuoba Ji saluted, he briefly told the emperor the purpose of his visit.
After hearing this, the emperor's face was not shocked.
He put down the pen and ink in his hand, got up with his hands in his hands, walked off the stage, and sighed heavily, "Actually, when the three kings came to me some time ago to deal with this matter, I also hesitated for a long time. ”
In the early years, when the emperor was the crown prince, he really appreciated Luo Tassel very much. However, the royal family and nobles of the dynasty no one knew that Luo Tassel had defected from the family and fled.
In his early years, he was spurned all over the place.
Now, the young man suddenly came back, but the three kings sacrificed at the cost of going to Nancheng, trying to protect Luo Tassel, and even knelt down and begged the emperor to crown Luo Tassel as king.
It is necessary to ask why the three kings can make such a request.
Or is it because in the early years, the three kings and the emperor had already agreed that the younger generations of the Three Kings' Mansion in the future would be serious and would definitely give a king, and this king would be chosen by the three kings.
This is also the reason why Tuoba Yuan, Tuoba Ming and others have been conscientious in front of the emperor for many years, but they have always thought that they have not been appreciated by the emperor.
Because, even if the emperor appreciates it, what about it? If the three kings are not chosen, then the emperor does not need to care.
However, the emperor never thought that for so many years, the three kings would always leave the number of kings to Luo Tassel.
On that day, the emperor asked the three kings, "Are you really not afraid that your other sons will know about it, and they will resent you as a father?" ”
However, the reply of the three kings was: "There are more people who resent me, and when people are old, they naturally don't care about these things." ”
The emperor frowned, still a little uncertain.
However, the three kings were stubborn, saying that the emperor did not allow it, so he could not kneel for a long time.
has promised a position of the king, and Jiuding will naturally not regret it, but what the emperor is entangled with is just Luo Tassel's current situation.
He was really worried that if it was given, between the royal family... Especially between the Three Princes' Mansions... There will be great chaos.
"The emperor doesn't blame his brother for talking too much, it's just that Tuoba Xiu is also a confidant of his brother, a childhood playmate, and now he is back, and when his brother sees him as before, he really can't bear it, so he took the liberty to come and plead with the emperor!" Tuoba arch road.
"I know that you miss the old love, and I also know that the three kings attach great importance to this son of his, and I heard that the three kings' illnesses were cured by him."
"Yes, after Tuoba Xiu left home ten years ago, he studied medicine under his teacher, and now his medical skills are excellent, which is a height that ordinary doctors cannot surpass."
"It seems that he is indeed a talent that can be created, and I didn't look at the wrong person back then." When the emperor heard this, he showed satisfaction on his face.
Tuoba Ji took the opportunity to say: "So, your majesty, since the three kings have always identified this son, there must be a reason for it, and please consider it at your discretion!" ”
The emperor lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "I know, King Ji doesn't have to worry too much, I have my own measure." ”
"That courtier brother thanked the emperor for Tuoba Xiu again!"
......
Half an hour later, Tuoba Ji finally came out.
Xiao Jiu stood bored, already sitting there, playing with a dog's tail grass in his hand.
The two guards guarding the hall looked at Xiao Jiu like this, and they didn't speak, they just felt a little surprised, they never thought that a maid would dare to take advantage of the master's absence, walk around at will, and entertain herself.
The two guards couldn't control Xiao Jiu's head, but they felt very surprised.
Xiao Jiu didn't know at all, sometimes pulling leaves, sometimes looking at the blue sky, in fact, she was very bored.
After Tuoba Ji left the palace, the two guards took their attention away from Xiao Jiu and greeted Tuoba Ji respectfully.
"His Royal Highness King Ji."
Tuoba made a simple 'um' sound.
Looking at Xiao Jiu's position, he didn't find anyone, only to find that Xiao Jiu had already moved the ground.
When the two guards saw Tuoba Ji, they thought that Xiao Jiu had caused trouble, and Tuoba Ji was about to get angry.
But actually...
Tuoba Ji didn't show anything at all, walked down the stairs quickly, walked behind Xiao Jiu, and patted her on the shoulder.
Xiao Jiu turned around and saw that it was Tuoba Ji, and got up with joy, "You finally came out!" ”
The distance was too far for the two guards above to hear their conversation clearly, but it seemed to be very harmonious, and there was no such thing as they had imagined.
For a moment, the two guards couldn't believe their eyes.
"Are you particularly bored and squatting?" Tuoba Ji couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiao Jiu like this.
Xiao Jiu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "It's okay, it's just that there is really no movement here, and after a long time, I really feel a little bored." ”
"Huh." Tuoba Ji said with a smile, "This is the place where the emperor deals with government affairs, and very few people move around, for fear of disturbing the emperor's purity." ”
"Oh, that's it." Xiao Jiu shrugged, then glanced at the two guards behind him, and whispered to Tuoba Ji, "You look pretty good, hehe." ”
Hearing this, Tuoba Ji smiled and knocked on Xiao Jiu's head, "What's the matter, do you want this king to convey this to Luo Tassel?" ”
"Eh, don't be, lord, I didn't mean that!" Xiao Jiu was frightened and waved his hand to deny it.
Of course, Tuoba Ji was just joking with Xiao Jiu.
"Okay, it's not appropriate to laugh here, change places, in the afternoon, it is estimated that Luo Tassel will be sent to the emperor, and the king will pay attention to the situation at that time."
......
Afternoon.
The carriage guarding the Luo tassel arrived outside the temple.
There was also a little news from the palace up.
In order to avoid restlessness, the emperor immediately ordered people to bring Luo tassels into the palace.
Then, in the entire palace, there were only two people, the emperor and Luo Tassel.
Luo tassels were tied and kneeling on the ground.
After a while, the sentence came, "Grass people... Attend the Emperor's Majesty. ”
"Oh? Grass people? When the emperor heard this, his tone was a little unkind, "Do you know what your surname is?" Now that you call yourself a grass farmer? ”
Luo Tassel bowed his head and was silent.
"If you don't have the blood of the Tuoba clan in your body, if you don't have the surname Tuoba, I will answer your voice as a grass people! However, you are a member of my Tuoba clan, do you think that the people of the Tuoba clan call themselves grass people, should they? ”
"The grass people's name is Luo Tassel." Unexpectedly, Luo Tassel actually said so directly in front of the emperor.
If there is someone next to him, I am afraid that he will already be dumbfounded.
Sure enough, the next second the words came out, anger already appeared on the emperor's face.
Although it is a slight anger, it indicates the risk of a violent anger at any time.
Luo Tassel is a clear-eyed person, and he can see it.
It's just that he is not afraid at all, he dares to say this in front of the three kings, and he dares to do so in front of the emperor.
In front of anyone, he dared to call himself Luo Tassel.
Because he is now a healer. If he dares to do it, he will dare to admit it.
"Hehe, good, good grass people, good one to change his name and surname!" The Emperor slammed the table hard, and the sound was trembling.
He stood up and glared at Luo Tassel, "Luo Tassel, do you know why you are kneeling in front of me now?" You say you're a grass farmer, do you think that just a grass farmer can kneel in front of me?! ”
Luo Tassel knew that the emperor could be angry at any time now, and he recognized it, but he would not deliberately provoke the emperor.
So, he was silent.
It seems that everything has been clearly arranged, and no matter how much he says or how little he says, the ending may be the same.
He was also very casual, and at this point, there was no other way.
"Your father, how much has you paid for you, Tuoba Xiu, do you really have no conscience?" The emperor didn't want to talk nonsense, so he pointed to Luo Tassel and began to instruct, "Your father is a few years older than me, he is my imperial brother, for you, he knelt down in front of me again and again, begging me to give you a chance, and now, your father asked you to behave yourself in front of me, and you are acting like this?" Can you ask yourself, worthy of your father?! ”
Luo Tassel listened to this, his heart was broken, and he felt a little guilty in front of him.
"That's what the emperor said." His lips trembled slightly, and he replied.
"You said that I was right, then you and I said, what are you kneeling in front of me now?" The Emperor sneered, "If you didn't talk about my heart, then you would have been kneeling. ”
Kneeling again.
No one punished Luo Tassel heavily, always let him kneel and take some pain.
Luo Tassel moved his Adam's apple.
It is useless to kneel, and it is necessary to say it sooner or later.
Luo Tassel eased his emotions, and in order not to waste time, he replied in a deep voice.
"The grass people have rebelled from the family for ten years, it is in the name of great unfilial piety, shameless to the family, shameless to the emperor, now, the grass people repent, and ask the emperor to give the grass people a chance to reform themselves."
