Chapter 229: Thinking Behind Closed Doors
The night is endless.
Queen Liu saw Yin Huaiqing lying on the table and falling asleep, so she wiped away the tears that hadn't dried much, and went over to carry Yin Huaiqing to the bed.
Although Yin Sheng's death was too unexpected, it once made Queen Liu suspect that all this was just a conspiracy, but she still couldn't help but be sad.
After placing Yin Huaiqing, Ling'er handed a handkerchief up, but she couldn't say anything about comfort.
Queen Liu looked up at her, and before she could say a word, tears flowed first.
"I also know that Your Majesty is a good emperor......" Ling'er said, "But don't be too sad, after all, people can't be resurrected after death, and you have to assist Huaiqing with your heart, although he is sensible, but after all, he is still ...... young"
"I understand......" Queen Liu whimpered and nodded.
"Hey......" Ling'er sighed, "You haven't eaten or drunk for a day, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”
Queen Liu nodded, and Ling'er went out first.
Not long after she left, a shadow suddenly fell behind Queen Liu, she hurriedly turned around, and when she saw the face of the person in front of her, she subconsciously wanted to scream, but fortunately, the person moved quickly and covered her mouth.
It was Yin Sheng.
"Shhhh......h
"Your Majesty...... You ......" Empress Liu asked him with a face full of disbelief, "You really didn't die?" ”
"What do you think?" Yin Sheng looked at her with a smile.
After thinking about it for a while, Empress Liu understood most of it, and said, "No wonder I can't find Your Majesty's body, and Lord Jing is still sure that Your Majesty is dead or not missing...... If it was a normal time, even if I saw His Majesty's body lying there, I was afraid that Lord Jing would still wonder if it was His Majesty's. ”
"It's good to figure it out," Yin Sheng nodded, "I may have to lurk in the shadows for a while, although Huaiqing has a wide range of knowledge and strategies, but after all, he is still young, and he doesn't know what to do with many things, so you need to mention him more." ”
"The concubine understands," Queen Liu said, "The concubine will definitely assist Huaiqing with Lord Feng and Lord Fu." ”
When Yin Sheng heard "Lord Fu", his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"Where," said Empress Liu, "Your Majesty is really out of sight." ”
Yin Sheng nodded, "Be careful yourself." ”
Queen Liu raised her head to look at him, and just wanted to jokingly ask him what she should be careful about as a "Queen Mother" now, but looking at Yin Sheng's eyes, it didn't look like a joke, so she didn't ask.
Yin Sheng didn't say anything more, looked at Yin Huaiqing, said goodbye to Queen Liu, and disappeared into the darkness. Empress Liu watched him go away, until Ling'er came over with tea and called them, she turned around and opened her mouth to say, "Huh? ”
Ling'er said helplessly, "Your Majesty is gone, you don't have to do this, it seems that you have lost your soul." ”
Queen Liu wanted to tell Ling'er that Yin Sheng was not dead, but she remembered his last sentence...... What to be careful of? Also, why did he play dead?
Since he didn't explain, let's not think about it.
As for Yin Sheng, even if it is found that Fu Wan is really unfaithful to him, there is no evidence, and even if there is evidence, he cannot be removed for a while. Not to mention their previous relationship, even if Yin Sheng was ruthless in dealing with him, a family with a big business and a group of old ministers of his own party who had already formed a group of old ministers of his own party would not be so easy to uproot.
The affairs of the court are too complicated, and he has to plan well.
If...... If Huaiqing could be a little smarter and be able to communicate with him, it would be much more convenient.
……
The flickering candle flame pulled the shadow of the flying lightning locked in the cage, and the fox-shaped figure was projected on the wall, a little sad and magnificent.
The cage was suspended in mid-air, and below it was a bottomless pool.
The culprit who caught Feidian was holding a tea cup, his body was still just a cloud of mist, and he leisurely watched Feidian jingle the iron cage.
"How many times have you said that," the thing, the dark shadow from before, began, "you can't use any mana in my territory, so you don't want to escape from this cage." ”
Fei Dian knew that this was not to scare him, he really couldn't use any mana.
"Who the hell are you?" Feidian looked at him coldly and asked.
"It's just the executor of the Mandate of Heaven," the Black Shadow replied, "Since both Glaive and Feng Yanxi can cheat, I will come over to enforce the Mandate of Heaven in advance." ”
"What do you mean?" Feidian frowned, completely unincomprehensible.
"Don't you understand...... the black shadow suddenly jumped into the cage, entwined with flying lightning, "Didn't Feng Yanxi say that you and Yin Sheng have the same star and can only live one." So I decided to let you die. ”
"Why did you let me die?" Feidian raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Oh?" The black shadow's tone seemed to be a little surprised, but he couldn't see anything on the face that didn't even have facial features, "Could it be that you want Yin Sheng to die?" ”
"......" Feidian did not say anything.
"Haha, don't you love him and love him to die and come back to life, ten years ago, you put all your spiritual power on him," the black shadow smiled, "What, now I'm tired of him, I want him to die, you live?" ”
Feidian just stared straight at the dark shadow and didn't say anything.
"Okay, I'll go and get Yin Sheng back now, and then release you." The shadow spoke, and flew outside.
Feidian immediately shouted, "Slow down...... Don't ......."
The black shadow immediately listened, and if he could see his face, he must have looked at him with a smile at this time.
Feidian was silent for a moment and asked, "Then how are you going to kill me?" ”
"Thunder Punishment." The black shadow didn't seem to intend to hide it from him, so he replied, "But the time has not yet come, I am waiting, waiting for Yin Sheng to come over and watch you die for him." ”
Thunder punishment? Generally speaking, the punishment of gathering the essence of heaven and earth, even the gods and goblins could not make any resistance, so what could Yin Sheng, who had watched him die, do? Also, what is this fog in front of him, and what qualifications and rights does he have to decide the life and death of others?
"The time has not yet come, the time has not yet come." Hei Qi smiled, and his figure gradually disappeared until he completely disappeared in front of Feidian.
Feidian looked in the direction he dissipated, and couldn't help but remember what Feng Yanxi said before......
In the dark, everything has a fate.
……
The day after that, Yin Huaiqing took the position. The small body sitting on the dragon chair reminded some old ministers of Yin Sheng, who was also a young emperor.
Although he acted perversely and seemed arbitrary, he had to admit that he was like thunder and lightning, and he was not merciful, and he was indeed a good emperor.
And what about Yin Huaiqing at this time?
He listened carefully to the ministers below him, sometimes frowning, sometimes bowing his head and pondering, and before making a decision, he had to ask Feng Lingchen and Fu Wan's opinions.
It seems that he doesn't know that Fu Wan has hinted many times in private that Yin Huaiqing is young and not suitable to be the emperor, but wants to let King Chen Cang succeed to the throne.
"Your Majesty," it was General Jiuqing Zhonglang who spoke, and he said, "Because of the catastrophe not long ago, when the first emperor was alive, he once allocated funds to Yizhou, but there were serious casualties there, and the population was sparse, Your Majesty will see if it is ......."
The man didn't finish his words, but he felt that everyone present should know what he meant, so he didn't say any more.
"Isn't it what?" Yin Huaiqing asked with a serious expression, "Master Lu can say whatever he wants, don't hesitate." ”
"Your Majesty," Fu Wan spoke on his behalf at this time, and said, "Lord Lu means to give up Yizhou." Yizhou has a barren landscape and few people, so there is really no need to ......"
"Lord Lu," Yin Huaiqing interrupted the words and said to Lord Lu over there, "What do you want to say, is that what you mean?" ”
Master Lu bowed and said, "Exactly." ”
"So that's what Lord Fu thinks too?" Yin Huaiqing asked.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Not impossible." ”
Yin Huaiqing scratched his head and looked at Feng Lingchen's side, but saw Feng Lingchen frowning, he thought for a moment, and then said, "Although Yizhou is remote and poor, it is the territory of my Li country after all. The people of Yizhou are also the people of my Li country, how can there be any reason to give up. If, as you said, you old and weak people, should you also find a place to bury them, so as not to waste the food and money of our country? ”
As soon as he said this, the whole hall fell silent. Yin Huaiqing's name of benevolence has long been known to women and children, and everyone remembers that he only said a few words before to move the assassin with benevolence and righteousness. So even if you don't agree with them, you won't say that...... Vitriol words. This is a bit like Yin Sheng's tone at that time.
"Master Lu thinks I'm ...... The widow is right. Yin Huaiqing's face was full of seriousness, as if he really didn't know if what he said was right, and asked others for advice.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
"The widow doesn't think that a minister who easily gives up his people can do anything for this country, so Lord Lu, shouldn't you go home to retire." Yin Huaiqing asked.
"Your Majesty......" Lord Lu immediately knelt down, and he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, then Master Lu will go home."
Yin Huaiqing gave an order, and the guards outside the hall came in and dragged this Lord Lu out. The hall was silent.
It took a long time before Yin Huaiqing spoke, breaking the silence.
His voice was soft and soft, not as stubborn as Yin Sheng back then, and he was more calm, he said, "Lord Fu ......"
After hearing this, he immediately knelt down and said, "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Yin Huaiqing fell into deep thought again, he looked at Feng Lingchen again, but Feng Lingchen didn't give him more hints, he turned his head again, and looked at Queen Liu behind the curtain, and Jing Yuanying beside Queen Liu.
Jing Yuanyin whispered something to Queen Liu, and then Queen Liu nodded to Yin Huaiqing.
Yin Huaiqing understood and said to Fu Wan, "Lord Fu is an important minister in my court, this crime is not so serious, and Lord Fu doesn't have to blame himself too much, just go back and think about it for a few days." ”
"Your Majesty Xie......" Fu Wan kowtowed firmly.
Yin Huaiqing turned his head to look at Queen Liu, only to see Queen Liu nodding to him with a smile.
