Chapter 197: Give way
"Me?" Qiu Di asked in a panic.
Liang Cuo stood straight in front of her with his sword in his hand, looking awe-inspiring and inviolable, although Qiu Di had thought about this scene countless times.
She thought she should exchange some innocuous polite words like an old acquaintance, and then ask seemingly ordinary but unusual questions, such as whether Fengyang was as hot as the Imperial City, and whether he could be injured on the battlefield.
But when all this really happened, Qiu Di was far from being as calm and straightforward as he thought.
Seeing that she couldn't say anything else, Liang Cuo said: "The prince said, you look for me." ”
"Lord Wang?!" She suddenly raised her head, and her willow eyebrows jumped into Liang Cuo's eyes, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Two people stood in the courtyard, one more wooden than the other. Wanxiang often talks about Qiu Di's intelligence and beauty, but she doesn't even know where to put her hand at this time.
"Yes, the prince said, in this hot day, you often take the princess to the south corner corridor under the sun, saying that you are looking for me to have something. He also asked me if I owed you money, so that you could look forward to it day and night.
I'm guessing you're in a hurry, so I've been waiting here for a while. ”
"So, you're standing here...... Is it to wait for me? Qiu Di was a little unbelievable, and the joy on his face couldn't be hidden.
Liang Cuo was already indifferent to the affairs of men and women, so he naturally didn't know what Qiu Di was happy about, but he felt much more relaxed when he looked at her and smiled.
Qiu Di was still waiting for him to answer Liang Cuo's natural answer: "Yes." ”
"That'...... That ......"
"If Miss Qiu Di has something to say, it's better to say it tightly, I'm going back to the house later."
"Going home?" Qiu Di thought about it, Liang Cuo has his own mansion, and it is indeed not good to keep it empty, if he wants to go back to his mansion, then Qiu Di can't see him?
Qiu Di replied with a sullen head: "Actually, it's nothing. Originally, there were, but now it's gone. ”
"Well, I'll go home first."
"Well, General Liang walks slowly."
Then Qiu Di watched Liang Cuo drag the long silhouette away, and didn't ask a word of what he wanted to ask. Wanxiang and Xiao Huaijin sat on the edge of the bed and looked out, looking at the two people who were squirming outside, they were really anxious for them.
Especially Wanxiang, she was so anxious that she threw the folding fan out, and kicked Xiao Huaijin with her little feet: "Look at the people around you!" Why are you so incomprehensible? ”
Xiao Huaijin looked at Wanxiang in a daze, and didn't know what he had done wrong, he looked at Liang Cuo who left and then looked at Wanxiang: "What do you have to do with me?" ”
"What a servant is his master."
"You don't make sense." Xiao Huaijin glanced at Wanxiang coldly and continued to read, muttering: "Why doesn't Qiu Di follow you at all?" ”
"How can this be? Liang Cuo grew up with you, and Qiu Di followed me after we returned to the Imperial City. How can it be the same? ”
Saying that, Wanxiang got up and walked behind the screen to change clothes, and chattered while taking off her robe: "You look at Liang Mistake's face, it's exactly the same as you."
If he's younger, everyone else will think he's your son. The father and son have the same face, the same brave and good fight, and the same feelings. ”
Xiao Huaijin leaned on the solid wood handrail, looked into the screen, and blamed with doting: "The more you talk, the more boundless it becomes." ”
The slanting sun hits the screen, and the fragrance is faintly visible, just like the ink-dyed orchid on the screen.
There is an incense burner on the low flower stand in front of the screen, and there is a curling smoke, such a fairyland, which provokes Xiao Huaijin to have no intention of writing.
The voice of the person inside was soft and soft: "Does the prince have a house on East Street?" ”
"You should know better than me what the palace has. But what are you looking for in that house? ”
"Give you the outer chamber."
"What?"
Wanxiang walked out with the red yarn and sat opposite Xiao Huaijin, and when she saw that his face was full of doubts, she smiled and said, "How can I be so virtuous?" Return it to the prince's outer room...... I think the one in Qionghuatai is an eyesore, and the prince also believes it when he laughs. ”
As she spoke, Wanxiang suddenly raised her eyes and glared at Xiao Huaijin: "The prince can't really have this thought, right?" Or is it that the prince has already raised it and is just waiting for me to bring it back? ”
Xiao Huaijin rolled the book into a tube and smashed it on Wanxiang's head: "What are you thinking about in this head?" ”
"If you don't have anything to say, I'll use the house on East Street."
"What are you going to do?"
Wanxiang replied confidently: "Anyway, don't raise men." ”
She didn't want to say, and Xiao Huaijin didn't ask anymore.
Wanxiang breathed a sigh of relief gently, reached out to pick up the white child on the chessboard, and was thinking about how to talk to Princess Yongsheng.
If Xiao Huaijin opens his mouth, this matter will be determined, but at this moment, Xiao Huaijin's identity is embarrassing, and Wei Rui's identity is even more embarrassing.
If Xiao Huaijin forcibly sent Wei Rui to the Guogong Mansion, it would inevitably be said that he was bullying others, and it was really worth the loss to leave such a handle on people.
When it is not finalized fifty percent of the certainty, Wanxiang will not rashly go to the gate of the Suiguo Mansion. just asked someone to redeem Wei Rui first and placed her in the house on East Street.
Wanxiang was in trouble, and Xiao Huaijin also encountered boring things.
Although he didn't say it, Wanxiang would always experience Xiao Huaijin's dullness from the details.
Until one day, before the next dynasty, Liang Cuo hurried to the palace. Wanxiang was still sitting in the room drinking tea, when she saw Liang Cuo rushing into the east courtyard quickly, and didn't even pay attention to Qiu Di who was standing aside.
Wanxiang took a look, poured a cup of tea and put it on the opposite side: "What's wrong?" ”
Liang Cuo didn't care about the tea, and hurriedly told Wanxiang: "Princess Yongsheng is in court today." ”
"She's on court?"
"Yes, Princess Yongsheng didn't know who she listened to, so she rushed into the palace and stood in the court to ask the prince sternly, and also moved out of Emperor Zhao's edict, asking the prince to return the talisman to the saint."
"And then?"
"Princess Yongsheng pointed at the prince, saying that the prince followed the example of Duke Qi Huan to kidnap Zhou Tianzi, and the wolf's ambition was to rebel against him and should be punished.
It is also said that the princess killed the queen mother and killed the queen mother, which is too much. The prince ignored the edict in her hand and took her into custody, which angered the courtiers, and Qi Hou led troops to surround the palace. ”
I remember that a few years ago, Liang Cuo came back from the palace in a hurry and rushed into the East Courtyard, Wanxiang remembered that it was Xiao Huaihui who detained Xiao Huaijin that time, she looked for a twist in a panic, and took Liang Cuo to Baining Houfu in a panic.
And today, a few years later, Wanxiang has seen too many things with the blade in her throat, but she can also deal with it as indifferently as a breeze: "She is not too much."
The weather is hot, and your mouth is dry when you are in a hurry, so drink a cup of tea and calm down. ”
"Princess, let's quickly transfer troops into the palace!"
"You just think that at this moment we are in Fengyang, in Yucheng. When the soldiers are approaching the city, whether they want to go out of the city immediately to meet the enemy. ”
Liang Cuo looked at Wanxiang, and then realized that he was panicked, even if the soldiers were in the city, they had never lost their minds like this. Fortunately, Wanxiang is calm enough: "The prince must sit next to the little emperor in the last court, then the little emperor will not be far away from the prince."
Most of those old ministers are as loyal to the imperial power as the Bai family, and as long as the emperor's safety is affected, they will not act rashly. As for Qi Hou......"
Wanxiang sneered: "Could it be that he is clean?" At the beginning, the eight gates of the imperial city were all opened by him and Xiao Huaiyue. Now I want to stand with those old things, I can't. ”
"But the prince is in the imperial city, and he did ignore Emperor Zhao's edict and put his own sister in prison. Affection and reason, the prince does not occupy it. The charges of disloyalty, filial piety, and injustice can be regarded as being deducted. ”
Wanxiang rubbed the sandalwood tea tray with her little hand, and couldn't help but ask in her heart: Why is it Princess Yongsheng? Why did this happen when he was planning to propose marriage for Wei Rui?
Maybe there is no connection between the two, but Wanxiang has to think about it.
After drinking the cup of tea, Wanxiang finally got up and changed her clothes.
The soldiers of the Pingnan Palace, plus the soldiers and horses that Liang Cuo could mobilize, were only a thousand, and Wanxiang turned out the token that Xiao Huaijin gave him, and took those people to approach the palace blatantly.
She didn't wear armor, and straddled her horse in blood-red civilian clothes and approached Xuanyuan Gate.
The guard in front of Xuanyuan Gate saw that Wanxiang was actually coming, and shouted from afar: "Who is coming?" ”
Wanxiang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The regent's people." ”
"Wait for the order! No one is allowed to enter or leave Xuanyuan Gate! ”
Wanxiang muttered softly: "Qi wait? ”
Then he picked up the bow and pulled the arrow to shoot him, and then shouted at the people of Xuanyuan Gate: "What is Qi Hou?!" The world should be the holy world!
The Regent has an order! Order me to wait for the escort to enter the palace, and if there is a violator, Ling Chi will be executed! Raze the three tribes! ”
The people behind the door thought for a long time, and finally the door was pushed open a crack, and the people around Wanxiang saw the opportunity to shoot the people behind the door and rushed into the Xuanyuan Gate and went straight to the main hall.
Xiao Huaijin was sitting in the main hall and confronting Qi Hou and those old ministers, he looked at Qi Hou and Xiao Huaiyue coldly, and asked the little emperor behind him: "What does the emperor think?" ”
The little emperor looked at Xiao Huaijin's back and the hairpin left by Princess Yongsheng stupidly, and said to Ai Ai: "All ...... Whole...... Rely on your uncle and grandfather to do ...... Call the shots. ”
"The emperor just said a few words over and over again, did he deliberately want people to think that I was holding you hostage?"
The little emperor secretly looked at the old ministers in the court, and held back for a long time before he said: "Don't force me!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Those old ministers knelt on the ground in fright, as if they didn't expect the little emperor to collapse.
The nine-year-old child instantly burst into tears, he was terrified and desperate, his nine-year-old body was pulled back and forth by Lao Chen and Xiao Huaijin, he felt that he was about to be unbearable, so he took off his crown and walked to Xiao Huaijin: "Uncle and grandpa." ”
Xiao Huaijin glanced back at him, slowly got up and saluted: "Your Majesty." ”
"Grandpa Huang is in charge of the government, and I am very at ease. Half a year after I ascended the throne, I recovered Fengyang and the surrounding counties, and now the county is full of joy and happiness, all by the wise decision of my uncle and grandfather. ”
"Minister, I dare not be ashamed."
"I knew that I was young and not a talent for governing the country, so I asked my uncle and grandfather to take charge of the country on my behalf, and I was allowed to have a fief for the rest of my life for 60 years, and I would never step into the imperial city again.
I entrusted the people of the world and myself to my uncle and grandfather. ”
Hearing this, the old minister on the ground was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe that the monarch he followed was so weak and incompetent, and he was so frightened by Xiao Huaijin.
Seeing that no one dared to say more, Qi Hou glanced at Xiao Huaiyue, and knocked his head three times: "Ask the emperor to think twice!" ”
The old minister behind him seemed to be awakened, and then kowtowed and shouted: "Ask the emperor to think twice!" ”
Xiao Huaijin stood proudly on the main hall, kneeling on one knee with a wat board in his hand. The little emperor was immediately frightened and took two steps back: "Uncle and grandfather......"
"Please emperor, think twice."
"Uncle, please get up."
Xiao Huaijin knelt on the ground, no matter how the little emperor pulled it, he was as safe as a rock and unshaken, the little emperor was anxious and frightened, he really couldn't pull it up, Xiao Huaijin's tears actually fell down.
Xiao Huaiyue at the foot of the steps couldn't help but mock in her heart, the saint is so weak today.
Xiao Huaijin gently put down the wat board, picked up the crown in the little emperor's hand and put it on his head, and instructed in his mouth: "The descendants of the Xiao family should not be weak.
The dragon chair is hard to sit on. Your great-grandfather, your grandfather, not even your father was like you. The minister is sitting in the court, what is the emperor afraid of? ”
"I ...... I ......" he whispered, "I just don't want to be pulled anymore and stand in the middle and sway from side to side. ”
Xiao Huaijin blinked his eyes and looked at the wolf. only asked: "Then who made the emperor so uneasy and couldn't sleep at night?" ”
