Avoiding Zhao Xiangling's direct gaze in his eyes, Li Ruiqing's anger seemed to be lessened: "Your Majesty used to brainstorm, although there are many things that you don't understand, but you are good at learning and asking, and you will never be arbitrary. ”

Zhao Xiangling picked up the book that Li Ruiqing had put on the table, and said lightly: "It is precisely because of this that King Hua is reversed." ”

Turning the first page, Zhao Xiangling saw a pear blossom on the title page. Exactly like in memory, this is the symbol of Li Xiang of the current dynasty.

A pear blossom that is high and snow-white, not stained with fine dust.

And Li Ruiqing suddenly lost his voice. Zhao Xiangling was a little irritable. She stood up and tossed the book aside.

With a bang, the originally thread-bound books spread out, falling one by one, spilling on the table, like pear petals that have withered and fallen on the ground in spring.

"National teacher, why don't you speak?" Zhao Xiangling turned his head, but he didn't feel the slightest guilt about dispersing his book.

Li Ruiqing lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty, it was just an accident." ”

"Really?" Zhao Xiangling sneered, "Accident." National teacher, there are many accidents, do you still think it was an accident? ”

"People think that I am young, that I can be deceived, that I don't understand anything, so they deceive me, fool me, and even think that I can take my place. Lord Zuo, have you been in this position for so long, haven't you seen it clearly enough? ”

Li Ruiqing squirmed his lips, but after all, he still didn't explain.

Zhao Xiangling smiled and said, "Since whoever has a hard fist will listen to whom, why should I be polite?" Just like your left prime minister's power is monstrous, the left and right six departments, in charge of the military power, why should I let you go? ”

"Your Majesty, the right minister has arrived!" Outside, celadon spoke.

Zhao Xiangling turned his head, his face faintly angry: "Let him wait!" ”

There was no sound outside.

It was Li Ruiqing's shallow voice that sounded: "Your Majesty, is it the ministers who are hindering you?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Xiangling took a deep breath and said with a faint smile, "That's right." So soon there will be a more well-behaved and obedient person who will take the position of the left minister and replace you, he will be a person who I am good at controlling, it will not be you! ”

The footsteps are shallow, it is Qinghua and Qingfeng who are back, standing outside and not daring to make a sound.

"If, that's what Your Majesty wants." Li Ruiqing said slowly, as if he had made a decision, "The minister can ......"

"I can't." Zhao Xiangling was familiar with his temperament and knew what kind of words he would say, "Li Aiqing, have you ever seen a hero who can escape with his whole body, not to mention the lives of the whole clan, so his own life has to stay in the palace, right?" ”

Li Ruiqing raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xiangling, but only saw the latter's face resolute. She has been in power for five years, and she will not show mercy when she is cruel.

Li Ruiqing realized this very early. His eyes were lowered, and his face turned a little pale.

Even if he resists now, it won't be useful. The emperor is the emperor after all, and she does not need to be afraid of her own threat, nor does she need to be afraid of her power. All she had to do was threaten her life with her life, as she had done before.

After a while, he said slowly: "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, if the minister is really ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, a hand reached out in front of him. It is as white as jade, and it seems that the jade cup is also a little whiter.

The wine in the glass is turquoise and fragrant, but it makes people feel chills when they look at it.

Along his arm, Li Ruiqing looked at Zhao Xiangling, who handed him the wine glass, took a deep look, and took the wine glass from her hand.

Without hesitation, drink it all.

The wine slashed across his throat, cutting a little painfully, Li Ruiqing coughed twice, and his eyes were a little red from choking on the spirits.

Li Ruiqing knew that he would not die. The poison of dove wine had no effect on him.

but the cruelty of the king, that his heart is dead. Loyalty and maintenance, if in exchange for suspicion and jealousy, then what is the point of him doing this?

He raised his hand and handed the wine glass back to Zhao Xiangling.

"Your Majesty'......"

His Majesty, who was still cold on his face, suddenly became happy, took his cup and poured another glass of wine, and just when Li Ruiqing thought she was going to serve it to herself, she drank it in one go.

Li Ruiqing was a little dazed. He stroked his temples, trying to sober himself up.

"National teacher, didn't I say you, as a man, how can you not drink?" Zhao Xiangling held the jade pot in one hand and the jade cup in the other, and poured himself a drink, "I have never seen you so undrinkable...... Man, why do you have red eyes after just one cup? No interest, no drinking, no bearing, like a girl......"

Li Ruiqing raised his hand that was about to hold his fist and rested it in the air, not up or down, so uncomfortable.

Zhao Xiangling carried the jade pot, got up and hugged one of his shoulders: "I will discuss something with you." You see, now that the cannon brand and the right phase are outside, the right minister is also old, and he can't afford to toss, if you promise me a few conditions, I won't embarrass him. ”

Li Ruiqing, who had not yet reacted after drinking, had a little wood in his brain, and he rubbed his temples: "What conditions?" ”

"First." Zhao Xiangling smiled and raised a finger, "You just live in Wutong Palace, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

"It is forbidden to torture the right minister."

"Okay." Zhao Xiangling smiled and held up a second finger, "Cut off contact with the outside world, and don't contact political affairs without my instructions." ”

Frowning and rubbing his head, Li Ruiqing said: "Be polite to the right minister." ”

"Good!" Zhao Xiangling laughed, "You have to stay in the palace and take care of my food." ”

"Not good." Li Ruiqing snorted, "The gentleman is far away from cooking." ”

Zhao Xiangling's eyes closed: "Come on, order the right minister to go to the palace!" ”

Li Ruiqing's eyes widened, she, she, she actually cheated!

"A gentleman promises a thousand gold, and I am a woman." Zhao Xiangling closed his eyes, stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Li Ruiqing, signaling that if he did not agree to these two conditions, the words in front of him would be automatically invalidated.

Gritting his teeth, Li Ruiqing said hatefully: "Okay! ”

Zhao Xiangling snapped his fingers and cheered: "Qinghua, push my cannon brand up!" ”

Li Ruiqing turned his head and saw that Qinghua had ordered someone to push a black thing up the hall, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you promise me ......"

Halfway through his words, he choked up in his throat and couldn't speak.

Qinghua not only made people push an iron box up, but also followed by a row of palace maids, holding meat bowls and sauces in their hands.

What does this mean, if Li Ruiqing can't see it, it's a joke!

He trembled with rage, and the wine cleared up.

All right! All right! It turned out that she scared herself at the beginning, knowing that she was not strong enough to drink, so she coaxed herself to drink a glass of wine and lied to herself to agree to her conditions, just to keep herself as a cook in the palace!

Dang, cook, son!

He was deceived into staying in the palace as a cook, a cook, and a son!

But the man behind him was still elated. She held up a silver mask and clasped it on her face, and flicked her fingers: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, you are a gentleman, remember what you promised me." ”

Promise what? Do you want to be a cook?
