Chapter 198: Turning the Face
The people under the steps were as uneasy as kneeling on the nail board, and Xiao Huaijin's gaze was full of frost.
The little emperor didn't dare to speak, for fear that whoever he named would push him into a catastrophe.
Xiao Huaijin turned back to face the little emperor, and said softly as if he was talking to Wanxiang: "Don't be afraid, tell the minister, who it is." ”
He still refused to speak, and his fingers twisted the gold thread on the dragon robe. Xiao Huaijin no longer embarrassed him, and got up to face the people under the steps: "The emperor refuses to say, then let me guess."
Why did Princess Yongsheng appear in the main hall today? Is it because she is holding her father's edict? You think I don't dare touch her?
A young monarch is easier to control than a regent. So you want to clear the monarch's side, so that you can completely control the government. ”
Xiao Huaijin's words woke up those old ministers.
In addition to Xiao Huaijin, it is not Xiao Huaiyue who is most likely to replace the saint. With his relationship with Qi Hou, the local forces behind him, if it weren't for Xiao Huaijin, who would be able to compete with him in the world?
At this moment, the Bai family can't find a second Bai Xiuzi, Xiao Huaijin dismounts, who can contain Xiao Huaiyue?
It is difficult to distinguish between black and white, and only hiding in a gray gap until the emperor can be in power is the way to survive at the moment.
Qi Hou saw that the old ministers around him did not speak, which was contrary to his original expectations, so he held the wat board and offered it to the saint: "The emperor does not need to be afraid, the minister has mobilized the forbidden army to surround the palace."
As long as the emperor orders, the thief will be killed on the spot! Protect the holy driver, never give up! ”
"Anti-thief?" The little emperor looked at Xiao Huaijin timidly, and he didn't understand how sure Qi Hou was that he threatened to put Xiao Huaijin to death.
At this moment, Qi Hou didn't know that Wanxiang had entered the palace, and pressed Xiao Huaijin tightly: "Regent, you have wings and can't escape." As long as you hand over the military power, I will intercede with the emperor on your behalf. ”
"Do I need your intercession?"
"The 200,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city will take the Pingnan Royal Mansion at any time."
"Then I want to ask Qi Hou, is this 200,000 forbidden army the emperor's forbidden army, or Qi Hou's forbidden army?" Xiao Huaijin leaned back in his chair and said in a flirtatious tone: "How do you listen to Qi Hou's tone, the forbidden army is like a soldier of Qi Hou's mansion." ”
Qi Hou smiled indifferently: "Today, I am standing on the court, all thanks to Emperor Zhao's grace." But you detained Princess Yongsheng in vain for Emperor Zhao's edict, and occupied the talisman for a long time and did not return it. It's really unpredictable. ”
"Waiting for a sincere heart is really moving. It seems that this king can only hand over the talisman and be captured, waiting to become your prisoner. ”
Xiao Huaijin dragged 'you' for a long time, but Qi Hou was unmoved and still pressed step by step: "The Qi clan is loyal, and the regent doesn't have to insinuate."
As long as the regent is willing to return the military power to the emperor, I can resign and move my family back to my hometown in Xiling. ”
When Qi Hou said this, I was really moved. But at that time, I became an empty shelf, and no matter whether Qi Hou wanted to rebel or take my life, I was powerless to fight back.
You Qi clan, you've been waiting for this moment for a long time, right? There is indeed Qi blood in the body of the saint today, what are you not satisfied with? ”
"Regent! I, the Qi clan, have always respected the order......"
Xiao Huaijin got up, his long figure was condescending, and he approached Qi Hou step by step: "Who is rebelling?!" Presumably, Qi Hou has been walking around with the Suiguo Mansion in the past few days, right? Otherwise, why did Princess Yongsheng suddenly carry the edict of Emperor Zhao and run to this hall? ”
"That's because you are heinous, Regent! It is only natural that the military power is handed over to the emperor! Princess Yongsheng just told the truth, you actually detained your own sister in prison!
Can't wait to tell the world about your ambitions?! Could it be that the dignified regent, the sixth son of Emperor Zhao, should be the same as the rebel king Xiao Huaihui, and be a person who steals imperial power? ”
"Princess Yongsheng said that my people pretended to be her daughter to enter the palace to assassinate her, and there was no real evidence to accuse the emperor of making nonsense, and I was so crazy that I only took her, which is already considered benevolent."
"You are in a hurry to take down Princess Yongsheng, and you clearly want to gag her, evidence? Will the regent give Princess Yongsheng a chance to show evidence?! I'm afraid it's too late to extinguish it! ”
"You are so aggressive, do you know what is the sin of slandering the royal family? Princess Yongsheng is so desperate, is it just because she listened to Qi Hou's words? ”
Xiao Huaijin crooked his eyes and smiled evilly: "Is it difficult, what is the love between the two of you?" ”
Qi Hou didn't force the green tendons in the corners of his forehead to burst, and he held the wat board tightly and said to Xiao Huaijin: "The regent is cautious!" ”
"Qi Hou is also cautious!"
"You ......"
"I'm not interested in knowing about Qi Hou's romance. It's just that I don't understand, when I led the troops back to the imperial city to rescue the driver, all the eight city gates were opened.
If I intend to rebel, should the people who open the city gate also be punished by the Nine Clans? The geese have left a sound, the water has left traces, who can really retreat with the whole body? ”
Qi Hou stood in place dumbfounded, and the originally good situation was pulled back by Xiao Huaijin in a few words. Seeing that the tiger talisman was about to arrive, those old ministers were all standing behind him, but now it was difficult to get out.
How did this move come to such a point?
Whether soft or hard, it has been a mistake.
Xiao Huaiyue closed her eyes and clenched her teeth. He never thought that Qi Hou, who had spent decades in the court peacefully, would be so useless.
He was silently glad in his heart, but fortunately he didn't say anything.
But Xiao Huaijin didn't think so, even if Xiao Huaiyue stayed out of the matter again, Qi Hou's move had already dragged him into the water.
It is still difficult to reunite when the mirror is broken, let alone a torn face?
Xiao Huaijin looked at Qi Hou and Xiao Huaiyue seriously, and even showed a look of disdain.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a red shadow coming from outside the door, Xiao Huaijin suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, as if he was talking to Qi Hou and Xiao Huaiyue: "It's ridiculous that you look careless about your head and tail." ”
As soon as the words fell, someone outside shouted: "A thousand soldiers of the East Defense Battalion have been ordered to come to escort them." ”
Then Xiao Huaijin watched the fragrance rush into the door, wiping her forehead with silver swaying, and her eyebrows and eyes without powder had a rare heroic spirit in her daughter's family.
She glanced at Qi Hou and Xiao Huaiyue on the ground with a smile, that kind of smile was really incomprehensible, and it was the same as Xiao Huaijin's submersion. She stood in front of the hall and knelt on the ground: "The princess regent sees Your Majesty." ”
The old man's low and slow words came from beside him: "It is really unprecedented for a woman to go to court. The regent princess has a noble status, and she still wants to ......"
"Princess Yongsheng is also a woman, and she can go to the palace with the edict of Emperor Zhao in her hand, so what's wrong with me holding the token of today's saint to go to the palace? Dare to ask your lordship...... "Wanxiang turned around with a fierce look: "Are you questioning the regent or questioning the saint?" ”
Wanxiang raised her eyes to look at Xiao Huaijin, and their eyes met more than a thousand words. With just one glance, Xiao Huaijin settled down and sat back in his position: "Qi Hou is in charge of the forbidden army, and now he intends to be in military power, but you only bring a thousand soldiers How can you save the car?"
She smiled, and that smiling face was charming and dangerous. She bowed her hand back to Xiao Huaijin: "Back to the prince, fifty-three people and children in Qi Houfu, plus Princess Xiang Qi Kite, all of them will be won." ”
Hearing Wanxiang say this, Xiao Huaiyue turned his head and hurriedly looked at the door, only then did he remember that when Princess Yongsheng entered the palace, Hou Liang Cuo said that he was sick and left first, it turned out that he went back to the palace to ask Wanxiang to go to get the family members of Qi Houfu and Xiangwangfu.
Xiao Huaiyue, who was originally fearless, finally panicked, he looked at Wanxiang and turned his eyes to Qi Hou.
"It can't be!" Qi Hou pointed at the incense and shouted, "You are bold! ”
"Master Hou, Aunt Lin asked me to ask you, was last night's crab soup delicious?"
"You ......" Qi Hou didn't believe that Wanxiang could control Qi Houfu in such a short period of time, and he also ran to Xiangwang's Mansion to get his daughter.
Thinking of Wanxiang's previous killing methods, Qi Hou was even more anxious and didn't know what to do: "She...... She is gracious to you! ”
"Really?" Wanxiang looked back and ignored: "Then Qi Hou said, how did the aunt of Qi Hou Mansion be kind to the princess regent?" ”
Those things behind the scenes, Qi Hou naturally didn't dare to say it.
Wanxiang whispered to him: "What's more, I am a little woman, and a woman should regard her husband as her sky." My husband was framed, my sky is about to fall, how can I care about any kindness or unkindness? ”
Looking at Xiao Huaiyue again, he still stood there without saying a word, seemingly staring sluggishly, but in fact, he was the one who knew the most about protecting himself.
Wanxiang knows that he has been operating behind his back from beginning to end, and the secret Miaoyuan has already made Wanxiang suffer several losses, and he knows in his heart that as long as Wanxiang seizes the opportunity, he will not give up.
So he can't talk much, and he can't intercede at this moment. As long as you are not rigorous in half of your sentences, you will be held by the smart Wanxiang.
No matter how fast the forbidden army in charge of Qi Hou is, it is estimated that it will not be faster than a woman who can kill the first emperor with her bare hands.
The reasonable are afraid of meeting the hands-on, and the hands-on are afraid of meeting the deadly.
At this moment, Xiao Huaijin forcibly took possession, and Wanxiang was even more famous in Yucheng. With such two people standing together, who would dare to come forward rashly?
Even if Qi Hou was unwilling and Xiao Huaiyue was unwilling, he had to look at Xiao Huaijin cautiously to see if he would be disgruntled and pick up the plane.
Just when everyone thought that Qi Hou would not walk out of the main hall, Xiao Huaijin turned back to the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to retire." ”
The little emperor said timidly: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”
So Xiao Huaijin left generously with the incense, leaving Qi Hou, who was kneeling on the ground, with a cold sweat on his back.
For Qi Hou at this moment, it is not terrible for Xiao Huaijin to take the opportunity to execute himself, but the terrible thing is that he can't guess Xiao Huaijin's mind at all, let alone how he will retaliate against himself next.
Turning his head to look at Xiao Huaiyue, he still looked like he didn't care, and Qi Hou realized that he didn't seem to be controlled by the chess pieces on his chessboard.
Xiao Huaiyue lowered his eyes and looked at Qi Hou, and the words 'useless' were written in his eyes. But he still lowered his body to help Qi Hou, and when he walked out of the main hall, he looked at the sky and asked, "Father-in-law, do you know why you have not been a big deal?" ”
"What does King Xiang want to say?"
Xiao Huaiyue said unceremoniously: "My father-in-law is tied up by women like Xiao Huaijin, but compared to his women, those warblers and swallows in my father-in-law's backyard are extremely useless. ”
"King Xiang, don't forget, your wife is also in the hands of the princess regent."
He looked at Qi Hou Lao for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "So what? ”
