Chapter Twenty-Five: The Court Gives the Mattress!

At this moment, Yuwen Shihong couldn't wait for a reply, so he broke in directly from outside the door.

As soon as Li Bing and the others saw him, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Meet the Emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Aiqing, let's be flat!"

Yuwen Shihong hurriedly reached out to help, but he didn't want Li Bing to be unwilling to get up, so he kowtowed three times in a row.

"Your Majesty, today the minister offended you in the court, and the minister volunteered to die to calm the emperor's anger, but this matter has nothing to do with the minister's family, and please raise your noble hand and let go of the minister's family!"

Yuwen Shihong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Li Bing thought he was going to kill him when he caught up!

He couldn't cry or laugh, and pulled Li Bing up helplessly.

"General Li, today's incident should be due to me apologizing to you!"

When Li Bing saw Yuwen Shihong say this, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at him blankly, "Your Majesty, ...... you are?"

Yuwen Shihong waved his hand and called Imperial Doctor Chen over.

"Today, I called the Imperial Doctor to treat General Li, but I didn't expect General Li to leave first, so I had no choice but to personally send the Imperial Doctor to General Li!"

"Imperial Physician Chen, come and show General Li the wound on his back."

Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly gave up his hand, walked over with the medicine box, and carefully helped Li Bing to sit down.

Yuwen Shihong held Li Bing's hand tightly again, and said sincerely.

"General Li, I know that you care about the soldiers, and today I was forced to blame you out of helplessness, and after the next court, I reflected on myself and immediately came to you to apologize!"

Li Bing was dumbfounded, and looked at Yuwen Shihong in a daze, a little at a loss.

Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the ground and crying, also forgot to cry, and her face was full of confusion.

Yuwen Shihong sighed, sat down beside Li Bing, and said earnestly.

"It's just General Li, I still don't agree with you about today's matter, have you ever thought that Northern Qi is ambitious and uninhibited, and never knows how to write the word reputation."

"If we use Wangzhou City to exchange supplies with Northern Qi, I'm afraid that those materials will become their military rations to recapture Wangzhou before they reach Northern Zhou! When the time comes, we will be busy in vain, won't we give Northern Qi another opportunity to rearrange Wangzhou? ”

As he spoke, he took out another map and placed it on the table in front of him.

"General Li, look, this is Wangzhou City, although it is north of the Huai River, it is a protruding peninsula shape."

"There are many soldiers who are good at water accumulated in the former dynasty of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and their experience in the water army is much stronger than that of the Northern Qi Dynasty, so for us, it is an excellent benefit to be backed by the Huai River!"

Li Bing looked at the map in front of him, and his eyes changed several times.

He really didn't take these things into account, because he was too worried about the safety of the soldiers, so he ignored such an obvious advantage.

Yuwen Shihong laughed when he saw this, and said again.

"That's it, General Li, if you are the general of Northern Qi now, and Northern Zhou occupies Wangzhou City, what will happen to you?"

Li Bing subconsciously followed Yuwen Shihong's train of thought, and his heart was slowly filled with shock.

He found that if he was a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he would probably regard Wangzhou as a big trouble and couldn't sleep day and night!

Yuwen Shihong saw that he had found the clue, and nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

As a modern person who has experienced countless histories, he is really clear about the importance of port cities, if other countries occupy their own port cities, it is simply impossible to sleep day and night, and the country's semi-colonization is not empty talk!

After Li Bing figured out the trick, his face turned pale and pale, he gritted his teeth, suddenly stood up forcefully, and knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have just been reckless in the court, and I ask the emperor to surrender!"

As he spoke, he was about to kowtow, but was quickly stopped by Yuwen Shihong.

"General Li, I don't care anymore, what you have to do now is to take care of your injuries, Imperial Doctor Chen, apply the best gold sore medicine to General Li!"

Imperial Physician Chen respectfully bowed his hand.

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Yuwen Shihong sent guards to carry Li Bing to the bed, stripped off his clothes and forcibly applied medicine.

Li Bing lay on the bed, but his heart was full of relief and joy.

It turns out that the emperor is not the dumb tyrant he imagined, not only that, but he is also a very sympathetic courtier!

"General Li, you can rest assured that you will recover from your injuries, I already have a charter in my heart for the affairs of Wangzhou, and I will definitely not let the soldiers die in vain!"

Li Bing burst into tears, and his heart was even more excited.

"Weichen believes in the emperor!"

can be so tolerant of such a disrespectful courtier like him, Li Bing believes that Yuwen Shihong is by no means the emperor who jokes about the lives of soldiers.

Therefore, although Li Bing was still worried about this matter, he chose to trust Yuwen Shihong.

After Imperial Physician Chen bandaged Li Bing's wounds, Yuwen Shihong drove back to the palace.

The next morning, Li Bing insisted on going to court while still wrapped in bandages.

When Yuwen Shihong saw it, he was immediately shocked.

"General Li, I asked you to recuperate from your injuries yesterday, why did you come to the court again today?"

Li Bingyi arched his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is concerned about the court, if you don't go to court for a day, you will be itchy all over, please forgive the emperor!"

Yuwen Shihong slapped his thigh again and again, lost the emperor's prestige in a hurry, and ran over quickly from the dragon chair.

"Come on, quickly prepare a mattress for General Li and spread it on the ground, so that General Li can rest on his stomach!"

Li Bing was shocked and waved his hand again and again.

"Your Majesty! This is a bad etiquette in the court, and Weichen can't afford it! ”

"Why not? Court etiquette is dead, people are alive, and I have never been such a conformist person! Come on, get ready! ”

After speaking, a guard brought two soft mattresses and spread them in the center of the Xuanzheng Palace.

Suddenly, the majestic atmosphere of the Xuanzheng Hall was completely destroyed.

Li Bing looked at these two mattresses, and suddenly burst into tears and cried nonstop.

"Your Majesty, how can you ...... the minister?"

When the ministers saw the picture of the two monarchs and ministers together, they remembered yesterday's scene, and suddenly the second monk was confused.

Despite this, everyone couldn't help but be affected by this scene, and their hearts were greatly touched.

The emperor has so much pity on the courtiers, isn't it a great good thing for the courtiers!

Although the etiquette system has been broken, at this moment, even those civil servants who cared most about etiquette in the past could not say a word of rebuttal.

If the emperor is like this, what more can the courtiers ask for!

I don't know who started sobbing first, followed by the civil and military officials with red eyes in the court.

Yu Wenhao, Wang Mao, Liang Shiyan and other old ministers couldn't help but feel very relieved when they saw this situation, and their hearts were touched!

The courtiers knelt down again and shouted in unison.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
