Chapter Seventy-Nine: The King's Heart Is Unfathomable
"Chonghua, just now in the main hall, why did you say that you obeyed your father's will, have you already guessed what your father will do next?" As soon as he left the palace gate, Huang Fuyi asked in a low voice.
Su Liangren, Weng Shangqi and others also leaned over intentionally or unintentionally, waiting for a peerless answer from Baili.
Baili peerless walked slowly, his gait was elegant and calm, he smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Your Highness can detect the difference between Your Majesty today and the past?" ”
"Different?" Huangfu groaned, "In this way, this palace feels that my father's spirit today seems to be better than before, especially in his eyes, which seem to be hiding ······." Huangfu frowned slightly, and thought for a moment, "Anger is anger." Chonghua, is my father ······?"
Huang Fuyi seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but shout.
Baili peerless looked up at the gloomy sky, his eyes were far away, and it seemed that today was another cloudy day.
Huangfu Yi's face changed rapidly, and there seemed to be infinite anguish and unwillingness in his heart, but in the end, all his emotions turned into an imperceptible sigh.
Su Liangren and Weng Shangqi glanced at each other, and without saying a word, the two of them already understood the meaning of Baili's peerlessness.
"Master Hou, do you think there is still room for maneuver?" Weng Shangqi still couldn't help but ask.
Baili peerless retracted his gaze and said lightly: "What does Lord Weng think?" ”
Weng Shangqi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him asking, and then sighed lightly: "Your Majesty has actually made a decision, I'm afraid it can't be changed anymore." ”
Su Liangren nodded and said, "Lord Weng, the Taiwei Mansion has to bother you over there." ”
"Don't worry, the elder." Weng Shangqi's eyes lit up and said.
Huang Fu said: "Yes, Lord Weng, if my father insists on this, please ask Lord Weng to keep an eye on the personnel transfer of the Taiwei Mansion." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the lower officials will take care of it." Weng Shangqi said respectfully.
"This palace wants to meet the moon prince, is Chonghua willing to accompany this palace?" Huangfu Yi looked at the peerless Baili and sincerely invited.
Baili peerless smiled indifferently and said, "Since His Royal Highness has invited him, Benhou is willing to accompany him." ”
The two said goodbye to Su Liangren and went outside the palace.
However, as soon as the two of them walked to Zhaode Gate, Gonggong Sun came to pass the decree to go to Chongqing Hall to face the saint.
Baili peerless had to say goodbye to the prince and go to Chongqing Palace.
Chongqing Palace, Emperor Honghua is writing Danqing.
"Your Majesty, Lord Hou is waiting outside the palace." Grandpa Sun walked into the hall quickly and reported.
"Let him in." The pen in the hand of Emperor Honghua was hooked, and Danqing was painted.
"Xuan Qi'an is waiting to enter the hall."
With a loud shout from Grandpa Sun.
Baili peerless entered the hall leisurely, and saluted unhurriedly: "The minister sees Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Honghua put down the pen, stood with his hands in his hands, and his deep gaze wandered around him before he said, "No courtesy." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Baili peerless stood aside leisurely, looking relaxed.
Emperor Honghua left the book case and paced in front of Baili peerless, his eyes were deep, and his voice was faint: "I announced that Aiqing came to see me alone, Aiqing knows why I summoned you?" ”
"The minister is stupid, please show your majesty." Baili's peerless expression remained unchanged, and he responded lightly.
Emperor Honghua's gaze deepened, and his tone became strange: "Aiqing is extremely wise, don't you understand what I mean?" ”
Baili peerless lowered his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "The minister really doesn't know." ”
Emperor Honghua looked at him with a complicated expression, and said after a while: "Aiqing thinks it is more appropriate to deal with Yan's return to China?" But it changed the subject.
Baili's peerless eyes flashed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty already has an idea in his heart, how dare the minister speak presumptuously?" ”
"It's okay, you can talk about what you think." Emperor Honghua waved his hand.
Baili peerless muttered: "Yan's return to China is only a subject country of my Daya, but he has committed a crime, vainly trying to rebel, and he should be punished." ”
Emperor Honghua's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "What Aiqing said is very agreeable. However, in this crusade against rebellion, I need a prince to drive the expedition for me, who does Aiqing think is suitable for this expedition to the west? ”
Hundred miles of peerless stunned. He didn't expect Emperor Honghua to ask him about it, when he relied on the rebellion against the rebellion of Tianguimen and the rebellion of the twelve cities of Yanzhou, he made outstanding achievements, and then became a marquis, but in the past six years, Emperor Honghua has never talked to him about political affairs alone.
Because of the matter of the Heavenly Ghost Gate and the Twelve Cities of Yanzhou, Emperor Honghua was still afraid of him.
"Aiqing thinks who is more suitable, the crown prince or King Rong?" Emperor Honghua asked again.
Baili peerless pretended to think for a moment before saying: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Rong are both dragons and phoenixes among people, no matter who drives the expedition for Your Majesty, it will not disappoint Your Majesty." It's just ······"
Baili peerless sword frowned slightly, and he wanted to speak and stopped, seemingly very embarrassed.
"Just what?" Emperor Honghua asked, his eyes deep.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's proposal is to negotiate peace, it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want His Majesty to raise troops to crusade against Yan to return to China, and the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future prince, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. Therefore, the minister believes that His Royal Highness King Rong is the most suitable candidate. "Hundred miles of peerless narration.
Emperor Honghua's eyes were half-narrowed, and he thought for a long time before he nodded slowly and said, "Aiqing's analysis is good, and it coincides with my thoughts. Leave the matter of the royal driver's personal expedition to King Rong. ”
"Your Majesty."
"Hahaha·······" It seems to have solved the troubles in his heart, and it seems to be extremely satisfied with the peerless answer of a hundred miles, Emperor Honghua became happy, and said with a smile, "Aiqing has been in the court for almost seven years, right?" ”
Baili's peerless eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Emperor Honghua to suddenly ask this question. But the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said: "Back to Your Majesty, exactly seven years." ”
"Seven years, time flies so fast, it seems that I am really old." Emperor Honghua's eyes became heavy, and he sighed faintly.
"Your Majesty's heroic appearance has not diminished back then, and it is in the prime of life, how can you say that you are old." Hundred miles of peerless gentleness to the Tao.
"Hahaha······" Emperor Honghua laughed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "People still have to serve the old." Chonghua, you are young and successful, and you should start a family. ”
Hearing this, Baili Jueshi suddenly understood that this was the focus of today's conversation.
"Your Majesty, the minister only wants to be loyal to His Majesty and Daya, and has never thought about starting a family." A slight hint of coldness flashed in Baili's peerless eyes, and he said respectfully.
Emperor Honghua said disapprerovitically: "The ancients all said that "self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world", there is a family before there is a country, which shows how important it is to start a family. Chonghua, do you have a favorite person now? ”
Baili peerless heart sank. He knew that the matter between him and Zhao Yu had spread, and it was impossible for Emperor Honghua not to know. She suddenly asked like this today, could it be that he found out something? Or do you know Zhao Yu's true identity?
Baili's peerless heart was full of thoughts, but he replied: "Your Majesty, the minister already has a favorite person." ”
"Oh, whose girl is it?" Honghuadi seemed to be very interested in this topic and asked repeatedly.
Baili peerless hooked his lips and smiled: "Back to Your Majesty, she is just a woman in the rivers and lakes, Your Majesty must have heard of it." ”
"Jianghu woman?" Emperor Honghua's eyes narrowed slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it the "poisonous rakshasa" that spread to you some time ago?" ”
"Yes, it's her." Baili Peerless simply did not hide it and admitted it directly. He wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Honghua's gourd.
"Confused." Emperor Honghua slapped the table and scolded, "You are my dignified Qi Anhou, how can you be involved with a lowly woman in the rivers and lakes?" ”
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the minister was once also a lowly Jianghu person?" Baili peerless sneered in his heart, but his face was light and light.
"That was once, you are now Qi Anhou, your status is noble, and only a noble woman can match you." Emperor Honghua shouted, "You quickly dispose of that woman." I will re-marry you one day. ”
Baili Peerless's face became ugly when he heard this, but it only returned to normal in an instant, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a minister's family matter, not to mention that the minister has a marriage contract with her, if the minister regrets the marriage at this time, what is the difference between the minister and those who are treacherous?" ”
"So you're not willing to give up that Jianghu girl?" Emperor Honghua's eyes were sharp and he said sharply.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to be considerate of the sincerity of the minister." Baili peerless voice firmly.
"Bold." Emperor Honghua said angrily, "Baili peerless, are you trying to resist the decree?" ”
"I don't dare." Baili's peerless face was condensed, and his eyes were deep.
"Since you don't dare, follow my will and dispose of that Jianghu woman immediately, and I will marry Junhuang to you." Honghuadi's tone was cold.
Baili peerless was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Please take back your majesty's life." The status of the minister is low, and he is not worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Baili peerless, you are so bold that you dare to openly resist the order. Someone comes, take him down, and put him in prison. Seeing that he refused to marry Huangfu Junhuang, Emperor Honghua couldn't help but be angry and shouted.
As soon as his words fell, two guards entered the temple.
"Your Majesty is angry." Seeing this, Grandpa Sun hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Hou Ye is also a courtier, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to take the Hou Ye down rashly." ”
Emperor Honghua said angrily: "What's wrong, he openly resisted the order, can't I do anything with him?" ”
Grandpa Sun hurriedly laughed and said: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid are afraid that Her Royal Highness the princess will be sad to know that His Majesty has imprisoned the Hou Ye in the prison." ”
When Emperor Honghua heard this, he thought of Huangfu Junhuang's temper, and his anger disappeared by half, and said: "Baili peerless, don't you bear to attack that Jianghu woman, I can do it for you, as long as you follow the order to marry Junhuang as a wife, I will not blame the past." ”
A trace of coldness flashed in Baili's peerless eyes, and he said coldly: "Her Royal Highness the princess has a noble status, and the ministers dare not climb high." Although the Jianghu woman is from a humble background, she is happy with the minister, and she is the minister's beloved, if Her Royal Highness insists on marrying the princess, the minister is willing to give up the title and stay away from the imperial capital. ”
"You ······" Emperor Honghua trembled with anger when he heard this, stared at Baili peerless, and said sharply, "Are you threatening me?" ”
"I don't dare." Baili peerless and calm return.
Emperor Honghua looked at Baili peerless with anger, and shouted loudly: "Come on, take Qi Anhou down, before he thinks clearly, without my will, he is not allowed to take half a step out of the Hou Mansion." ”
"Yes." The two guards on standby replied respectfully and walked over, "Master Hou, please." ”
"The minister retired." Baili peerless got up leisurely, and Shi Shiran walked out of the palace.
Seeing this, Emperor Honghua was so angry that his chest was stuffy again.
"Your Majesty, ······ do this" Grandpa Sun said with a melancholy face.
"Shut up." Emperor Honghua's eyes were cold, and he shouted, "I'll see if he is willing to marry Junhuang." Sun De. ”
"The slave is here."
"That Jianghu woman can't stay, find a chance to get rid of her." Emperor Honghua commanded coldly.
Gonggong Sun observed Emperor Honghua's face and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter, after all, ······"
"Sun De, do you want to resist the decree too?" Emperor Honghua's eyes were bloodthirsty, and he said word by word.
"Slaves don't dare." Gonggong Sun was shocked by Emperor Honghua's gaze and broke out in a cold sweat, and replied repeatedly.
"Remember, you have to be unaware."
"The slave obeys."
