Several confidants bowed respectfully, not daring to say more.

Li Qitian just complained, and he didn't have to get a definite answer. pursed his lips and sulked for a long time, and just as he was about to command, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and then an inner supervisor in an iron-gray round-necked sunflower shirt walked in quickly, and after saluting, he whispered a few words in Li Qitian's ear.

Li Qitian's originally restrained emotions were finally on the verge of exploding after listening to the internal supervisor's reply.

"Presumptuous! He dares! ”

Li Qitian suddenly let out an angry roar, which frightened several people in the hall, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The Holy One is angry!" ”

A few people were a little confused, what was the Holy Lord angry about?

Li Qitian said: "He is just a courtier, he goes to the south to do things, and it is his duty to do a good job, not to mention that if I am not willing to give him the opportunity to perform, how can he become famous?" Now he deliberately caused such public opinion! ”

The inner prison knelt on the ground, not daring to answer.

Li Qitian asked again: "That's what the people in the city say?" ”

"Back to the saint, many people are talking like this, thinking that the saint did not personally greet him, which is really ......"

"Fart, big stinky fart!" Li Qitian's expletive.

Several ministers who have been in the hall are all human spirits, thinking about the situation outside, and then looking at the angry appearance of the saint, it is already obvious what is going on.

Especially Lu Heng, once again shaking his head secretly, he sighed that Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao's calculations were not missing, they had calculated the saint's character and all the variables.

After Li Qitian scolded, he kept a calm face and didn't say a word, because he was worried that under his anger, he would scold Sven if he opened his mouth again, which would be too embarrassing for his identity as the Son of Heaven.

But the situation outside is too infuriating.

Isn't there anyone who remembers Xiao Zhixi's disrespect for the decree? Now everyone is praising his merits, he is just a courtier, he has done a good job, do you want him to be the Son of Heaven to greet him personally?

"Holy Lord, what are you going to do?" An old minister asked tentatively.

Li Qitian said in a deep voice: "I will wait here, just see how long he can delay." ”

"But the Holy One, there are many people outside, I'm afraid that even if Prince Zhongshun comes late, it will be because of the people's pushing." Lu Heng said.

Li Qitian's face was gloomy, and his teeth were clucking, "He relied on his merits to force Yu Zhen?" ”

"Holy, the actions of the people are spontaneous." Lu Heng lowered his eyebrows and reminded his eyes.

Li Qitian was furious because of Lu Heng's seemingly unintentional words!

Spontaneous? The people support Xiao Zhixi, and they dare to complain in private that he is mean and loyal to his ministers, and they want him, the son of heaven, to greet a courtier in person! Before he could take action to suppress it, he came back, and he was still stationed outside the city and refused to come in, but he had to wait for him to get angry and give an edict before he was willing to return to the city, and the return to the city immediately caused such a situation.

Li Qitian is not a stupid person, even if he didn't realize it at first, now he has figured it out, he is a trick!

"Spontaneous? Let's see how long they can 'spontaneously' go! ”

When Lu Heng heard this, he stopped persuading.

As a result, after waiting for another half an hour, the spies reported that the owl had moved forward with difficulty, and the people still had more and more trends.

Is this all the people in the capital gathered?

Li Qitian finally smashed the tea bowl angrily.

The sound of broken porcelain was sharp and piercing, and the hearts of people trembled.

Lu Heng and the others bowed their heads respectfully again.

At this time, it was clear in the letters of several people that they no longer needed to be persuaded in detail. With the wisdom of the saints, what else can you not understand?

It's just that although Li Qitian understands in his heart, such a decision does not make him feel good.

"Lu Heng."

"The minister is here." Lu Heng, who was named, knelt straight and listened quietly with his eyes down.

Li Qitian said: "You say, what should I do at this time." ”

Lu Heng couldn't help but struggle in his heart.

If you follow Li Qitian's temper, you will naturally scold Xiao Zhixi, and then persuade Li Qitian to wait in place, I don't believe that Xiao Zhixi can walk for three days and three nights in just a short distance.

But this can be used by the saint now, and when the saint calms down afterwards, he will inevitably feel that he is too slippery and flattering.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng said calmly: "Back to the saint, the minister's opinion, for the sake of expanding public opinion, and for the sake of the prestige and image of the saint among the people, it is best for the saint to meet the expectations of the people." ”

What Lu Heng said was actually exactly what Li Qitian was thinking.

It's just that this judgment is too aggrieved for him.

Li Qitian was silent.

Lu Heng continued to consolidate his image as a loyal minister who dared to speak out, and said in a deep voice: "Holy Lord, at this time, the people in the city are gathered together, and regardless of whether there will be chaos or not, if you keep not expressing your position and let Prince Zhongshun enter the palace like that, public opinion will definitely always be biased towards Prince Zhongshun." There may even be people with evil intentions who secretly slander and promote unfavorable remarks against the saints. The minister thinks that the matter has come to this point, so he should deal with it rationally and reduce the loss. ”

Although Li Qitian was angry, Lu Heng's words were very pertinent, everything was for him, and he also understood.

Li Qitian asked the rest of the people again.

The extremely minister is well versed in the way of being an official, and he is the best at observing words and feelings, and immediately expressed the same meaning as Lu Heng.

Li Qitian's face sank like water, and he said for a long time: "Swing the car, I want to leave the palace and welcome Prince Zhongshun back to Beijing." ”

Immediately, there was an internal supervisor who responded and made a big fanfare.

The saint wants to go out of the palace in person, and the pomp will naturally not be small, and it is quite cumbersome to prepare according to the regulations, but fortunately, Jin Wuwei and the flag bearer guard are always on standby.

At this time, Xiao Xiao was leading the horse and leading the team to march slowly in the crowd, and the people were also affectionately surrounding Xiao Xiao's side to admire the handsome face of the big hero at close range. Just then, there was a commotion in the distance.

"It's the Holy Driver, the Holy Driver is here!"

The sound of the gong opening the way from far and near, in the distance, you can see the yellow Luo cover umbrella under the light gray sky waving in the wind, a figure in a red round neck arrow sleeve regular dress sitting on the shoulder, the stars and the moon are coming.

When the saint came out of the palace, the people were shocked, Jin Wuwei, Bannerman Wei and others were vigilant, and even the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were scared into a cold sweat.

The saint is a noble man, and once there is some accident, all of them will not be able to cut off their heads to accompany the funeral!

But the people didn't think so.

In this story, the Lord loves talents, and everything in reality develops according to their expectations.

In this way, the voice of the saint's mistreatment of meritorious heroes went down, and some people praised it with nonsense:

"The Holy Lord really values Prince Zhongshun very much!"

"It must be that the prince's credit this time is too great, and the Holy Lord can't help but come out to greet him in person! What an honor! ”

"Yes! Holy Wisdom! Wang Ye Xiao Yong! ”

……

The voices in the crowd came and went, and the people knelt on the ground one after another, shouting long live.

Although the voice of "long live" covered the initial discussion, Li Qitian still heard the discussion of the people clearly.

Although he refuted his remarks that he was afraid of treating heroes harshly, he also invisibly confirmed the fact that he was a great hero.

In this case, if he is punished for the crime of disobedience, will he not be convinced? A great meritorious hero, not only will he not reward him, but he will also find an excuse to punish him, and his reputation will definitely plummet!

What a day! What a vicious plan!

Li Qitian was already burning with anger in his heart, but he smiled very gently on his face, and occasionally waved to the kneeling people.

When the people saw that the Son of Heaven was so approachable, everyone was about to go crazy with joy, and the sound of the mountain shouted again, and the mountain shouted like a tsunami.

Flattered, he handed the reins to others, walked out of the crowd, knelt on the ground and saluted: "The minister sees the saint!" Long live the saints, long live, long live! ”

"Brother Hugh should be like this." Li Qitian took a shoulder slap, helped him up with a smile on his face, took his hand affectionately, looked him up and down, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Go to the south, you are a lot stronger." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and said respectfully, "Back to the saint, maybe there are a lot of people in the barracks, so it's just like that if you don't pay attention." Is it always good to be holy? ”

"I'm fine. It is precisely because of a loyal minister like you who do my best to do my job that I can handle state affairs without distraction. You're doing a great job. ”

"The Holy One has praised it! All this is a matter within the minister's duty, and he does not deserve a praise from the saint. ”

Xiao Xiao said that he wanted to bow down again.

Since Li Qitian is here, he will not tell the truth, and immediately took Xiao Xiao's arm to prevent him from saluting, and pulled him and said, "Come, go back to the palace quickly, I still have a lot of frontier things to ask you." ”

"Yes."

He respectfully responded.

Li Qitian climbed on his shoulders, and the owl finally rode on his tall horse, with the support of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Holy Driver's Honor Guard, plus the people got their wish to see the Ming monarch and the hero meet the situation, the mood was extremely excited, and everyone retreated to both sides in an orderly manner.

The straggle finally moved slowly after the Holy Driver.

The cheers of the people shook the mountains and shook the mountains.

Li Qitian maintained his dignity on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to show affinity, and he couldn't write it with anger in his heart, and he had already secretly turned his fists white.

And just when the team had not marched more than 100 steps, the owl who was originally sitting on the horse suddenly shook, supported his temple with one hand, and planted his eyes off the horse.

"Lord Wang!" The people were stunned and shouted in panic.

Huzi and Jinghuwei and others next to the horses hurriedly caught the people with their eyes. I saw that Xiao Xiao's eyes were closed, and he had fainted.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!"

"Quick, find a doctor!"

The crowd rioted again, and as soon as Li Qitian was a little more comfortable, he turned around and saw this scene again, and the three spirits of the angry body ascended to heaven.

How can a man who is as tall as a horse and a mountain faint for no reason?

He was sure that Xiao Zhixi did it on purpose!

But the people didn't think so.

Someone in the crowd said, "The prince must have worked too hard for the affairs of southern Xinjiang." I was tired from running around all the way, and I got sick. ”

"Maybe it's because of some injuries on the battlefield, and I don't know if I have a chronic disease!"

The heroes who were treated coldly by the Son of Heaven at the beginning now have a few more pitiful points......
