Section 68 Secret Talks between Monarchs and Ministers
Tuoba Si frowned and said, "I think Yun'er is also very strange! He was originally very weak, but since Yao Guzi and the others came, he seemed to have changed all of a sudden, don't you think? Although my body is still very weak, I always feel that this is just an illusion, and I don't know why I have this doubt."
Taishi Er Zhu Yujian was slightly silent, and then said: "Your Majesty's guess is not unreasonable, the old man just thinks that the stubborn illness of the Nine Kings seems to be getting better quite quickly."
At this time, the prince on the side also interjected: "The slave also thinks, especially if you look at the three guards he brought back, the ability is very human, I think that the guards in the palace are not the opponents of the three people, but the three people seem to be obedient to the nine kings, these nine kings are in the villa all the year round, and I don't know if they are really sick or pretending to be seriously ill, such a person can obey the nine kings so much, I am afraid it is not a matter of day and night." The prince's words made Tuoba's mood even more solemn, but he said, "You go on."
When the prince saw that the emperor "agreed" with his statement, he was even more bold and said: "The servants look at those two pills, they are very rampant, where are the emperors and ministers in their eyes, they only look at the nine kings and the nine princesses, these two are their masters." Your Majesty, being able to keep this kind of person by your side is definitely a huge benefit, otherwise, how can it be! But how can the Nine Kings give these benefits? Unless, he has cooperation with Zixiao Palace, Your Majesty, you have to guard against it! ”。
Taishi Er Zhu Yujian also nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if there is really any unsavory deal between the Nine Kings and Zixiao Palace, then it is better to deal with it as soon as possible."
Tuoba snorted coldly and asked, "Deal with it, how to deal with it?" Put the Nine Kings to death? Father kills son? Although there are suspicions, it's not like there is no evidence now, this kind of thing...... I really don't want to face it anymore, what do you think? ”。
King Luo'er pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to return to Beijing first, and all speculations must be investigated before making a decision." Although, it is very likely that the two of them are from Zixiao Palace, and the nine kings and nine princesses may also have something to do with it, but it is too early to make a conclusion, besides, the nine kings are His Majesty's parents after all, and no matter how they are, they will not forget the friendship between father and son. Therefore, the minister thinks that it is better to not make a decision first, but to return to Beijing first, observe and investigate, and then make a conclusion."
Taishi Er Zhu Yujian was quite dissatisfied with Wang Luo'er's opinion, and said: "This is appeasement and adultery, the remnants of Zixiao Palace will be eradicated one day earlier, and it will be peaceful one day sooner, wait, wait, wait, don't be unable to clean it up when the time comes."
Xin Xigong glanced at the Taishi dissatisfied, and said: "First of all, what is the meaning of appeasement and adultery, the Nine Kings and the Nine Princesses are His Majesty's parents and daughters-in-law at this stage, where does this word for adultery start?" Besides, you and I both saw the snake and wolf battle that day, with that person's ability, can you eradicate it now? Do you have the ability? ”。
Er Zhu Yujian glared at Wang Luo'er speechless, and finally scolded: "Then the way you said, if something happens in the future, can you be responsible?" ”。
When Wang Luo'er heard this, her heart was on fire, and she said coldly: "If the Taishi's method kills the wrong person, can you be responsible?" ”
Erzhu Yujian shouted: "Did this Taishi say that he killed someone? ”
Wang Luo'er said without showing weakness: "Don't shout, didn't you just suggest that Your Majesty get rid of the Nine Princesses, you can't be selfish, right?" ”
Er Zhu Yujian's face turned red with anger, and he shouted: "You say, what selfishness did I press? ”
Xin Xigong snorted coldly and said, "My secret guard once reported, and you promised your granddaughter that she would become a princess in the future, didn't you?" ”
Er Zhu Yujian was shocked in his heart, and scolded: "It turns out that your secret guard also dares to spy on the old man? Yes, Master Ben said it, but it won't marry her to a sick son like the Nine Kings, right? ”。
As soon as the words fell, he heard Tuoba slap the table and said angrily: "No matter how bad the Nine Kings are, they are also my children, and your granddaughter will not want to become the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty in this life!" ”。
Everyone was so frightened that they all knelt down, at this time, Erzhu Yujian wanted to die, how could he be cautious for a lifetime, he would actually say the wrong thing in a moment of confusion, this Long Yan was angry and pulled his granddaughter in, it was really a miscalculation! I saw that Tuoba Hei's face was full of anger, and he kept walking back and forth, and everyone knew that the emperor was really angry. Listening, Tuoba still scolded angrily: "Yes, I have some opinions, but which of my sons is worse? The Nine Kings are weak, but is that his fault? He was plotted. Yes, the ninth princess called the master of the medicine millet, so what? A princess healed the Nine Kings better and better, this is the merit, the great merit, which of you ladies and wives has this ability? Pampered one by one, see for yourself, this time when you encounter a little difficulty, you will cry and cry, I see, don't mention the matter of the nine kings and the nine princesses, returning to Beijing is the most important thing."
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is shengming."
Tuoba still waved his hand angrily and said, "Go down and see when you can go out."
So the people hurried out of the tent. Out of the emperor's tent, Taishi Er Zhu Yujian was very unhappy and scolded Xin Xigong: "Hmph, villain."
Xin Xigong sneered: "Taishi, my original duty is to control all kinds of news, this is Your Majesty's will, the key is, don't say such stupid things!" You value your granddaughter, and the Nine Kings deserve to be looked down upon by you? You don't look at what the bloodline of the Nine Kings is, I really don't know how to evaluate your 'stupidity'." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, ignored Zhu Yujian, and went back to his camp directly.
In the days that followed, the ministers approached some locals in the tents, and the problem of returning to Beijing was stuck in a valley, because the mountain collapsed, and the valley was completely blocked by boulders, which put the existing hope of returning to Beijing in trouble. On this day, Tuoba Si walked on the periphery of the camp with a melancholy face, looking in the direction of the capital, the sun was setting, and the golden red glow was sprinkled all over the valley and woods, reflecting the beautiful clouds not far away, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it, but even so, the anxiety in Tuoba Si's heart was not reduced by half. The nine kings saw the emperor's back from afar, and had to say that the emperor Tuoba Hei was the best emperor in this chaotic world, he had the bravery, decisiveness and wisdom of the emperor, so that the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty could live and work in peace and contentment, but he also had the cunning, suspiciousness and darkness of the emperor, the old things many years ago were the most unshowable darkness in his heart, it was his reverse scale, whoever touched it had to pay the price, but for the current Tuoba Hongxuan, not to mention touching his reverse scale, he was going to pull out his reverse scale.
Tuoba Hongxuan slowly walked to Tuoba's side and stood beside him without saying a word. Tuoba looked at him with a little suspicion and asked, "Yun'er, why do you have something on your mind?" ”。
Tuoba Hongxuan under the mask smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, if we are trapped in this valley for too long, will something happen to the capital?" ”
Tuoba Si frowned and said, "Yun'er don't worry, isn't your queen mother guarding the capital?" She'll take care of everything."
Tuoba Hongxuan smiled evilly and asked with pretended concern, "Can the Queen Mother really handle everything properly?" In case, I'm afraid that something will happen after so long."
This is also Tuoba Hei's worry, for so long, there is no one to support Shengle, and there is no information to transmit, even Wang Luo'er's secret guard has not received any news, which makes him more and more uneasy in his heart, and he always feels that something is going to happen. But he is reluctant to say such worries in front of everyone, which is prone to panic. So, he still said with a "calm" face: "Don't underestimate your queen mother, she is another me."
The Nine Kings smiled and said, "Yun'er believes."
At this moment, Tuoba Hongxuan heard Dongli Ge speak with the unique internal force of the Ice Spirit Enchanter: "Lord, the Ancient Jade Venerable is here."
The Nine Kings arched their hands and said to Tuoba Hei: "Your Majesty, Yun'er feels a little cold, so I will pay back the account first."
Tuoba nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay, you go back first, don't catch a cold."
