Chapter 23: Father's Father
In front of the Kanto Mountain, step into the imperial study.
Qi Hong then followed, and after seeing the emperor, he knelt on one knee and honored his father.
"Commander Guan, what are you bringing him here for?"
The emperor saw Qi Hong and asked coldly.
I saw Guan Dongshan clasping his fists with both hands, lowered his head and replied: "The Seventh Prince wants to face the saint, because without your instructions, he can't enter this Shangjing, I take care of the royal family's face, and I don't want the people to criticize him, so I personally brought him here!" ”
"Oh? Come on, give a seat to Commander Guan! ”
A eunuch led Kanto Mountain to the side and took a seat.
Qi Hong was still kneeling on the ground at this time.
This differential treatment should not be too obvious.
The emperor chuckled lightly and asked, "Why did the Seventh Prince enter the palace today?" ”
"Back to my father, the Yangzhou Mansion where my sons and daughters are located, was invaded by thieves, they brutalized the people, and caused the people of Yangzhou Mansion to be miserable!"
After Qi Hong said this, he didn't listen to the emperor's perversion for a long time.
He slowly raised his head, but saw that Guan Dongshan was clinging to the emperor's ear, muttering something somehow.
The emperor's complexion gradually became gloomy.
"Seventh Prince, since these thieves are from your military mansion, why do you have to go to great lengths to make a special trip to Beijing?"
Hearing this, Qi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled contemptuously: "My father's words are wrong, and my son's ministers entered the palace this time, just to hand over the bad people behind this to my father and emperor in person!" ”
"Isn't this man?" The emperor raised his eyebrows coldly.
"Of course not, even if Erchen has ten guts, he won't dare to do anything wrong in your territory, but some people can't get used to seeing Erchen win battles recently, feel threatened, and deliberately provoke something to frame Erchen and his tens of thousands of loyal soldiers!"
Guan Dongshan snorted coldly: "The words of the Seven Princes are all insinuating this commander!" ”
"You know in your heart, so that I don't have to explain it to my father again!" Qi Hong met his sinister eyes, and his tone was cold.
Immediately, one turned around and clapped his hands outside.
The eunuch hurriedly ran to the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, the commander of Yang Heng beside the Seven Princes is asking to see you outside!" ”
Guan Dongshan's eyes were stunned, and he didn't know what Qi Hong was doing.
The emperor had lost face in front of his ministers because of Yang Heng's uprightness.
He waved his hand depressedly and said, "I don't want to see him, let him step down!" ”
"Father, Commander Yang came with an important witness, even if you look at the face of your son, it will be difficult to see him!"
Qi Hong quickly arched his fists and said earnestly.
"What kind of face do you have to say this in front of me?" The Emperor looked at him with a sneer.
Guan Dongshan even echoed on the side, and said: "What the emperor said is ah, the rebellion of the seven princes is already a sure thing, his thief heart is unguardable, and now he dares to break into the palace directly, and the next step is to endanger your throne!" ”
"Hmph, pass the order down, let the soldiers of the Seven Princes withdraw from Shangjing immediately, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!"
The emperor gave an order.
The eunuch immediately went to deliver the decree.
This is the power of Kanto Mountain, which can use his three-inch incorruptible tongue to provoke mutual suspicion between the emperor and his own son, and he is worried and defensive.
How could Qi Hong tolerate such a thing?
He looked at the emperor coldly and said: "The son is loyal, he has never had the idea of rebellion, my father listened to the traitor, but refused to listen to the advice of the son, it is really chilling!" ”
"How dare you rebuke me?" The Emperor was furious.
"Don't dare, my father is the Son of Heaven, how can the Son of Heaven be wrong?"
The meaning of this is that the emperor is wrong but does not admit it, and no one else can say anything.
The emperor stood up suddenly, came to Qi Hong, raised his slap, and hit him directly.
Syllable!
Qi Hong was slapped firmly.
But he quickly turned his head and pleaded: "Father, whether you believe it or not, you only need to give your son half a pillar of incense time, and you can know all the things!" ”
"If the time of the half-pillar incense can't be explained clearly, how do you apologize?" The emperor raised his head slightly, and his tone was cold.
Qi Hong narrowed his eyes and said, "The ministers there will all listen to their father's fate!" ”
"Hehe, I'm giving you this time, but I'm going to see what else you can do!"
It's worth the slap.
After Qi Hong's look, the eunuch hurriedly chased him out and called Yang Heng and the others, who had already walked away, back.
I saw Yang Heng with a few imperial guards coming behind Qi Hong, and knelt on the ground with a brush.
Guan Dongshan swept over with a cold eye, and couldn't help but change his face.
The Emperor asked, "Commander Yang, what do you want to say to me when you brought my imperial guards?" ”
Yang Heng lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, these people know the real reason why Yangzhou Mansion was robbed!" ”
"Tell me about it!"
At this time, Kanto Mountain stood up eagerly and said, "The emperor must not believe their nonsense, the Seven Princes are cunning by nature and can do anything!" ”
Qi Hong smiled disdainfully: "Commander Guan, they haven't said anything, why are you in a hurry?" Or are you too weak to let them speak? ”
"I ......"
Before Kanto finished speaking.
Several imperial guards suddenly knelt down in front of the emperor.
"Please atone for the emperor's sins, the theft of Yangzhou Mansion is indeed inseparable from the commander of Guanda, it is he who threatens those thieves, brutalizes the people of Yangzhou Mansion, and asks us to go back to Beijing to report the news to you!"
The emperor's face sank, and he looked at the several imperial guards in front of him, knowing that they were not people who could lie.
Qi Hong turned around, knelt on one knee and said: "Please also ask my father to know that this matter happened suddenly, and it happened after the commander of Guan Da entered Yangzhou Mansion, and the relationship between it, my father has to pay attention to it!" ”
"Commander Guan, what do you have to say?" The emperor asked in a low voice with his back to the Kanto Mountain.
Guan Dongshan knelt on the ground in a hurry and explained: "Your Majesty, this is all the treacherous plan of the Seven Princes, he blamed the crown prince for his rebellion before, and now he uses the same means to blame the minister!" ”
"You're really stubborn when you're dying, I'm busy fighting these days, how can I have any heart to deal with you? If it weren't for the provocations you made everywhere and did things that brought shame to the royal family, why would I have entered Beijing in person? ”
Qi Hong looked at Guan Dongshan's anxious appearance, and his heart was extremely happy.
These imperial guards have been following the emperor for many years and have also saved the emperor's life.
In between, the emperor was in a dilemma.
On one side is the great commander who won the throne for himself, and on the other hand, he is the imperial guard who guards his safety.
It's hard to choose.
The emperor pondered for a while, suddenly flicked his sleeves, and said: "I know about this matter, and the Seventh Prince doesn't need to mention it again!" ”
"Father, is this the end of this matter? Those people who were killed in Yangzhou Mansion, who will redress their grievances? ”
