Chapter 453: Appearing
"You, how could you ......" The princes were frightened by the sudden appearance of Lingxi, and then they reacted, this is the regent's quasi-princess, and she is not dead.
"If I'm not here, I'll let you bully the emperor." Ling Xi was so angry that her face turned red, and the green tendons on her forehead began to beat.
"Where did we bully the emperor? What we said is the truth, Yingzhou sent a big flood, flooded several nearby cities, the people were displaced, and now there are piles of refugees, if the imperial court does not come up with the silver taels for disaster relief, the people may lose their lives. The prince said it with emotion, and Ling Xi wondered if he was going to give him the best actor award.
"In that case, Master Hou is not guarding the city, why are you coming to Kyoto? Just for that mere 100,000 taels of silver? Ling Xi was simply laughed at by him, is this really taking himself for a fool?
"Ben Hou is an honest official, but he really can't take out so many silver taels, I just hope that the emperor can look at the face of the people and allocate this silver tael for disaster relief to alleviate the pain of the victims." This Ling Xi is as difficult as Lan Zhichu, originally they were still curious, how did the little emperor persist until now in such an environment, it turned out that Ling Xi was secretly helping him, and those princes gritted their teeth one by one with hatred for Ling Xi.
"For the sake of being an honest official, Master Hou, I heard you right, right? If I remember correctly, one of the palaces of the Hou Ye cost 150,000 taels of gold, why are you crying poor now? "Ling Xi knows that these princes have little abacus in their hearts, and she hasn't settled accounts with them about the last time, but now it's good that they sent it to the door themselves.
"That was all in the past, now we have to pay money and taxes to the court every year, where is there so much money, and besides, this world is the emperor's world, and this people are the emperor's people, so it is a little unreasonable for us poor people to take silver?" The prince is also shrewd, first praising the little emperor, and then crying poor, it is really impossible to find fault with it.
"That is to say, Lord Hou didn't pay taxes before? Do you know what tax evasion is to blame? It's enough to make this black gauze hat on your head unsafe. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the prince on the side with some provocation, that action was clearly saying, even if you let the horse come, I will definitely call you back.
"You are using strong words, this is a naked slander." Those princes were so angry with her that they began to speak, "Don't rely on Lan Zhichu to be a prestige here, he is already dead." ”
"Shut up." When the little emperor heard this, he finally couldn't help but be angry, "What are you old things, you dare to call me my imperial uncle." ”
"Your Majesty, old ministers......" Those princes were blinded by his sudden outburst, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Look at your current appearance, where is there still a trace of the bearing of the marquis, do you want money so much? Then I, the emperor, don't do it, let you do it, and see if there is a suitable one among you? I was elected, and I immediately asked for his life. The little emperor knew that he was a man, and he couldn't hide behind Lingxi every day and let her help him, so he decided to be tougher.
"Minister, I didn't mean that." The group of princes were shocked by the little emperor's words, and it took a long time before they said dryly: "Since ancient times, women have not been able to interfere in court politics, and the emperor must not be confused!" ”
"Do I need you to teach me anything?" The little emperor's eyes swept over them coldly, and the princes only felt a chill, as if they were fascinated by ghosts, and swallowed their saliva, "If there is nothing to do, you can retreat first." ”
"Minister, retire." A group of princes, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other several times, and finally retreat.
Since then, Lingxi no longer hides in the shadows every time, in fact, think about it, although she is hidden in the shadows and relatively safe, but it does not play a deterrent role at all, so it is better to stand up generously, causing this situation now, there is only one reason, that is, everyone thinks that the person who can shock them has disappeared, so what Lingxi has to do at this time is to become the second Lan Zhichu, so that everyone is afraid of her, so that things will be solved.
And at this time, Xie Ruanchun, who learned that Ling Ci was still alive, fell into deep fear, she originally thought that Ling Ci was dead, but she didn't expect that now she is not only back, but also by the emperor's side, if Lan Zhichu comes back again, then what she did to her before will not be exposed, no, she will never allow such a thing to happen, "Come on." ”
"The subordinates are here." This person is the dead man that Master Xie specially found for her in order to protect her safety, and his main task on weekdays is to protect her, and when necessary, he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life, and his loyalty can be seen in general.
"You go and do something for me." Xie Ruanchun thought of the scene when the matter was successful, and laughed happily.
And at this moment, Ling Xi was completely unaware of the impending danger, she only knew that those ministers had been much more well-behaved these days, and they were no longer as arrogant as before, which made her mood a little happier.
"Oh, no, you should approve it like this." Ling Xi took the excerpts approved by the little emperor, and rubbed his forehead with a headache, this batch of excerpts is really the same style as Lan Zhichu, the sentences are short, and the meaning of them is incomprehensible, this kind of excerpts is completely equal to no approval, I really don't know what Lan Zhichu thinks.
"Isn't that the batch? But that's what Uncle Huang taught me. The little emperor turned his head to look at Ling Xi in puzzlement, he had always been taught by Lan Zhichu before, and he had learned his way nine out of nine, and now he was telling him that this would not work, do you know, he really wanted to cry, the kind that did not shed tears.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and before Ling Xi could react, the door of the imperial study was pushed open, only to see that the person who came was dressed in black, and his face was covered with a face scarf, so that people could not see his appearance, Ling Xi had a bad intuition, and immediately grabbed the little emperor and retreated.
The man in black pressed forward step by step, and shouted in fright: "Catch the assassins, there are assassins." She felt that her throat must have burst out, otherwise she felt that her throat was dry and she couldn't speak.
"Die." The man in black took the sword, and slashed at the two of them, Ling Xi immediately pushed the little emperor out, and he also took advantage of the situation to roll back, dodging the fatal blow of the man in black, at this moment a large number of forbidden troops poured in, and the man in black saw that the situation was not right, and fled from the window.
"Seal down the palace and let me catch him."
He really didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if Lingxi hadn't pushed him out just now, and he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Lingxi hadn't pushed him out in time after Lingxi pushed him out, and the reaction that people made when their lives were threatened was the most sincere thought in their hearts.
"Sister Tianyan, are you okay?" The little emperor rushed to Ling Xi's side in three steps and two steps, hugged her, tears poured out as if he didn't want money, but he stubbornly refused to make a sound.
"Suixi is not afraid, I will protect you." Knowing that he was frightened, Lingxi raised his hand, touched his head again and again, and called his name rarely.
"Just now I thought I would never see Sister Tanyan again, woo." The little emperor cried sadly, and Ling Xi also felt that the sorrow came from it, if he was not clever enough just now, I am afraid that he would have become a dead soul under the knife.
"It's okay, it's okay. Suixi is a little man, don't cry! Ling Xi coaxed the little emperor like a child, and sure enough, after a while, the little emperor blushed and let go of her sleeves.
"Humph! I'm not crying, I'm going to see if the assassin has caught it. The little emperor got up arrogantly, pulled Lingxi up from the ground again, looked at her carefully, and made sure that the person was okay, and then said, "Let's go and see how the assassin is." ”
"Okay, don't let him run away, but also ask him about the ins and outs of the matter, plus the Lord's envoy." Ling Xi knew that he had calmed down, and he didn't say anything more, after all, after going through so many things, the little emperor also began to grow.
When the two went out, they saw the Praetorian Guards waiting neatly at the door, led by one of the guards who seemed to be the chief of the guard, and when he saw the little emperor coming out of the room, he immediately greeted him, "The subordinates are late to save the car, and please punish the emperor." ”
"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself, what's wrong with the assassin? Did you catch it? "The little emperor's main concern now is the problem of the assassins, and he is not in the mood to listen to other gossip.
"Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught, but he probably knew that he couldn't escape, so he committed suicide by taking poison." When the chief of the guard said this, his tone was heavy, he knew what it meant for an assassin to commit suicide, which meant that the clue was cut off, and even if he wanted to investigate, he couldn't find anything famous.
"Dead?" The little emperor subconsciously glanced at Ling Xi, and couldn't believe it, the person who said he wanted their lives one second ago died like this the next.
"Well, that's fine, if he really escapes, or catches the living, he won't necessarily find out anything." Ling Xi rubbed his temples with a headache, what is this.
"It must have been done by those ministers who couldn't get used to me, but fortunately we had a big fate this time and avoided it, if there is a next time, I can't say for sure." The little emperor looked at Ling Xi seriously, and at this time he suddenly had an idea in his mind. "Come, bring me my holy decree, and pen and ink."
"Yes." A group of people gathered here, and naturally there were errands for him, so it didn't take long for a little eunuch to bring things over.
"What are you going to do?" Ling Xi is curious, shouldn't they all be scattered at this time? Why do you still have to bring the holy decree, what do you want to write?
