In the small study room of the Taiji Palace, there were only two people, Li Er and Xiao Rui.

No one spoke, and Li Er didn't ask why he only came in the afternoon? Xiao Rui knew what the other party wanted, but he didn't speak.

Li Er was so angry that he wanted to go over and kick his son-in-law, and said that this product must be deliberate, and he still has the leisure to drink tea? I sent someone to call you over, did you drink tea?

Who would dare to be disrespectful to me in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? Who would dare to fill a whole chair in this little study? Who would dare to drink tea in front of me so calmly? Who didn't guess the divine will and be the first to speak?

But this kid did everything! Was he sent from heaven to plague me?

"Ahem......"

"Huh? Is Your Majesty unwell? Wechen helps you take the pulse. Xiao Rui put down the teacup and got up to help diagnose the patient.

Li Er saw the cheap smile hidden at the corner of the other party's mouth, glared at it fiercely, and said angrily: "There is no disease in the widow!" ”

"Oh? Is this an allusion to Bian Que seeing Cai Huan Gong and avoiding medical treatment? Xiao Rui pretended not to understand.

Burst...... Li Er really wanted to vomit blood.

"Enough! Boy, do you know what I called you for? Tapping the table, Li Er finally broke out.

Xiao Rui looked confused, "Didn't you say that you had something to order?" Wechen has been waiting for your orders. ”

You...... Hum! Li Er turned his head and said nothing.

Xiao Rui asked tentatively, "Is it for Xiangcheng?" Weichen understands etiquette, and will send Xiangcheng back tomorrow, after all, he has not yet married and cannot get along for a long time. Don't worry, the minister won't mess around. ”

Li Er is so angry, it's all at this time, and you're still sloppy?

"Boy, are you sincere?"

Xiao Rui said blankly: "Not for this? What's that? The court is short of money? Also, after a big battle to mobilize 200,000 soldiers and horses, the treasury is afraid that it will not be able to withstand it for a long time, so let the ministers think of a way......"

Li Er slapped on the table again, this time with more force, "Enough!" Don't be sloppy with me. Your kid hid deep enough to catch Empress Xiao of the former Sui, so many days, so many people along the way, and no one reported to me. Since you captured Empress Xiao and did not go to the court, but detained your Zhuangzi privately, what do you want to do? ”

Xiao Rui explained with a bitter face: "Your Majesty is wronged! That's not a captive, that's not Queen Xiao, that's the minister's aunt. My aunt was unfortunate in her early years, and was taken captive to the grassland by Jieli and suffered a lot. This raid on the Jieli royal court, I was fortunate to meet my aunt and rescued her. It was not easy to reunite my aunt with my father and sisters, and of course the minister had to serve my aunt well. As for not reporting it, it's just a personal matter of the minister......"

Li Er smiled, he was laughed at angrily, what a pair of iron mouths and steel teeth, he can really reverse black and white, and talk nonsense with his eyes open! Am I a fool?

With sharp eyes, staring at Xiao Rui, Li Er said in a deep voice: "Boy, you know the seriousness of this matter, do you think it's useful to rely on yourself to mess around like this?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled and muttered in a low voice: "It's always right for ministers to support the elderly and do their filial piety." ”

Li Erbai glanced at him and asked in a cold voice, "Say, how can you release people?" ”

Xiao Rui hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister didn't, it's not ......"

Li Er raised his eyebrows, "Could it be, it's your kid who is going to secretly hide the old man of the former dynasty, and then secretly cultivate and support him, and help the former Sui to restore the country in the future, right?" Xiao Rui, I treat your father and son very well, even my beloved daughter has promised you and allowed you to marry two more, you are like this to me? ”

Forehead......

No one can afford to wear this hat of rebellion.

Xiao Rui knelt down with a thud, "Your Majesty, the minister's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty can be seen by the sun and the moon." If it's because of Yang Zhengdao, then the minister will go back and send people over, whether to kill or scrape you, the minister has no second word! ”

Li Er understood, and went around and around, this goods were for Queen Baoxiao.

"Then what did the former Sui Xiao Hou say?"

Xiao Rui glanced up at the other party, Li Er's eyes were resolute and cold, and he looked like he was bound to win, and men understood everything.

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui secretly complained, and at the same time scolded Li Er in his heart, is he an old pervert? Sixty-year-old ladies don't let go?

After a moment of silence, Xiao Rui simply stopped dodging, and said in a showdown: "Your Majesty, the minister pleads for my aunt." There is no former Sui Xiao Empress in the world, the former Sui has long been a thing of the past, and now it is the Tang Dynasty. ”

"My aunt was lost for half of her life, and she was captured several times, and suffered and humiliated. Now he is an old man in his sixties, with no children and no daughters, and he is lonely. Now I can finally return to my dear mother's house, have a place to stay, and enjoy a few days of peace. I beg Your Majesty to be kind and allow her to spend her old age in Xiaojiazhuang. ”

"If it is for the sake of etiquette and status, the minister is willing to exchange the title of champion marquis."

Hiss...... This kid, will I be filial piety?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Er decided to knock and knock, and pretended to be disgusted: "Take the title in exchange?" My champion Hou is so worthless? ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "My Tang Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, if I can exchange it for my aunt to spend her old age in peace, the minister thinks it is worth it." ”

Seeing that Li Er didn't speak, Xiao Rui got up by himself, his tone softened, and he leaned closer and whispered to persuade: "Father-in-law, you don't know, my aunt is over the age of six, and the grassland is bitterly cold, but she has endured the sin." The whole person is haggard and old, and he doesn't know how many years he has to live, alas...... It's a hard life! Quickly faint my father's distress. My mother also cried and fainted several times. ”

"You are a big man, why bother with an old woman who is not threatening? Arranged in Xiaojiazhuang, the emperor is also there, aren't you still at ease? ”

"To put it mildly, Emperor Taishang and my uncle, Emperor Daye, are cousins. My aunt is the wife of Emperor Daye, and now she has let go of her identity as the queen of the previous dynasty, and there is no threat to you and the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Er listened quietly, with a sneer on his face that Xiao Rui couldn't understand, "Hehe, it's over?" That's what you think? That's what you think of me? I am a dumb king who bullies the old woman? ”

Xiao Rui's mouth opened slightly, and what did he mean by this? Aren't you?

Li Er's words changed and kicked Xiao Rui: "I asked you to come, not to ask for someone." As long as you Xiao Rui don't betray Tang, you can take in the orphans of the Yang family. ”

"You're right, what Queen Xiao said is also my cousin, she can spend her old age in peace, and it's a good thing to have a good death."

"But the former Sui to Datang involves the transmission of national fortunes. Since the death of Emperor Daye, it has been more than ten years of chaos, although my Tang Dynasty dominates the world, there are still people who say that we are not in the right position. If the name is not right, the word is not good, what is missing in the middle, do you know? ”

Xiao Rui scratched his head, "What's missing?" Popular Hearts? No, now the people are reading this Tang Dynasty. Is it ruthless? Murderous intentions? ”

Li Er couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Xiao Rui hard on the back of the head: "Idiot, Xinqiu, Hanbao, Gua Wazi!" It's a jade seal, a jade seal, a jade seal! ”

…… Good guy, it is worthy of Li Er, the king of Qin, who fought in half of the Central Plains, and he is proficient in many local dialects, this scolding directly scolded Xiao Rui stupidly, it turns out that the emperor can also scold people and swear words!

After calming down for a moment, Li Er said in a deep voice: "Emperor Daye is dead, and many anti-kings have dug the ground and searched Yangzhou for three feet to find the jade seal of the country. The world speculates that the jade seal has always been in the hands of Queen Xiao, but no one has seen it. ”

"If you want to give Empress Xiao freedom, you can also get the heirloom jade seal, it's all up to you!"
