Chapter 234: Meeting the Emperor (3)
At the end of February, the hall is full of spring light. The emperor took a shallow sip of Longjing before the rain, and was about to look at the excerpts, when he saw that Ning Shuo had already walked in.
His posture is not mighty, and he can be called thin, and he doesn't look like he has a long life. At this moment, his head was slightly lowered, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but every step he took was steady, and there was no vanity, which made people ignore his figure, and couldn't help but praise his "bones".
When literati read to the bones, they have their own literati spirit, which can cover their short places. Ning Shuo should be like this at this time.
When he walked to the center of the hall step by step, stood up after kneeling on the ground respectfully and saluting, the emperor couldn't help but praise again: "Aiqing is really clear and clear-eyed, and her face is like a full moon." ”
Although I had seen it at the palace banquet before, I had never looked at it carefully. With Ning Guogong and Ning Chao in front of them, Ning Shuo is indeed easy to ignore.
The emperor smiled and said: "Your father is really a blessing, although the heirs are not abundant, but one or two are good, worthy of ten or eight people." ”
Ning Shuo originally stood up, so he knelt down again, "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister is ashamed of it." ”
Emperor: "Get up, you don't have to kneel in front of me." ”
Ning Shuo stood aside respectfully again. His mind floated, his eyebrows lowered, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
- Even though he gave himself a warning along the way, when the emperor was so close to him, that resentment couldn't help but surface.
He took a deep breath, didn't dare to think about it, only dared to answer sentence by sentence, and when the emperor asked about the case of Suijia, he took him to the small garden to pacing.
The two of them were among the flowers and plants, enjoying the spring day, and the emperor suddenly asked, "You have been following Buyuchuan for so long, do you have your own opinions besides the evidence?" ”
Ning Shuo was stunned, took a step back, and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed, the minister is not." ”
The Emperor was visibly unconvinced, "Oh? ”
Ning Shuo bowed, "When I first investigated the case, I would suspect that Sui Boying was wronged for a while, and I would suspect that Sui Boying was corrupt for a while, but now I have found out that I no longer have such uncertain thoughts, and I only look at the evidence to speak." ”
"Sir said, the minister is right, he has learned a little bit."
The Emperor burst out laughing, "That's right. What you are most afraid of when you handle a case is that you are prescient, and if you are so biased, it will be difficult to verify it. ”
Ning Shuo: "Yes, follow Your Majesty's teachings. ”
Emperor: "In Sui Boying's case, do you have anything you want to ask me?" ”
He smiled and said, "After all, I am also a member of the authorities. ”
Ning Shuo's heart skipped a beat, and he wasn't sure what he meant, but judging from his previous understanding of His Highness, he was really interested in saying this, so he bowed down again and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is indeed a little puzzled. ”
Emperor: "You say." ”
Ning Shuo pretended to be afraid, and his voice trembled a little, "Minister-minister-"
After two or three times, his voice was still shaking. The Emperor laughed, "Don't be nervous, I won't punish you." ”
Ning Shuo took a deep breath, "The minister just wants to ask, does Your Majesty trust Boying?" ”
The emperor's laughing face froze, as if he had heard something incredulous, and the eunuch who followed him turned pale, and quickly lowered his head.
Ning Shuo was not afraid, but said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask, does Your Majesty believe in Boying?" Mr. Chen always felt that His Majesty and Mr. were in general with each other, and their attitude towards Sui Boying was very strange. ”
The Emperor stared, "How strange? ”
Ning Shuo: "Although Your Majesty asked Mr. to investigate the case, he did not set up a third division to accompany him, but His Majesty asked Mr. to investigate, because he was not afraid that there would be any hidden circumstances in this case." ”
He raised his eyes suspiciously, "So the minister has never understood whether His Majesty believes him or not." ”
When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then said: "You have such a temperament, but you have a lot of fight with your husband, and he is also straightforward, and sometimes he can choke me to death." ”
Ning Shuo lifted his robe and knelt down, "It's the minister's presumptuousness, please forgive your majesty." ”
The Emperor waved his hand, "Get up, I will let you ask if I tell you." ”
He was a very good emperor in front of his courtiers, and he really replied, "I believe in Boying, but I don't believe in him either." ”
He said, "Whether I believe him or not has nothing to do with whether he is corrupt or not." ”
Ning Shuo: "Yes." ”
The emperor was silent for a long time because of this question, and waited for a while before he said, "Then does your husband believe him?" ”
Ning Shuo: "The minister can't understand Mr. either." He seems to be like His Majesty, believing and not believing. ”
The Emperor glanced at him, "You are slippery, using my words to block me." ”
Ning Shuo smiled slightly, "Your Majesty's benevolence is the luck of the minister." ”
The Emperor also smiled and shook his head, "You are different from your father and brother, they are too rigid, like the bamboo in your house, straight hearted. But it's rare that you know how to bend and have a good way. ”
He continued to walk forward, "Your temperament is logically not disliked by Yuchuan, how can he take you as an apprentice?" ”
Ning Shuo: "Mr. said that the minister is like an old man like him." ”
Emperor: "Old man? ”
Ning Shuo: "Yes, Mr. said that the minister is like the son of Sui Boying-Sui Mingting." ”
The emperor paused in his footsteps, almost didn't stand firm, Ning Shuo stepped forward to support him, and when he stood firm, he slowly stepped back, and said in fear: "Your Majesty-"
The Emperor waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I seem to have heard him say this about you." ”
But whether he had heard it or not, he had forgotten it.
Then he said, "I shouldn't have said it, but if I did, I would have asked you to come in and have a look." In this world, there are still few people like Lan Shi. ”
But at this moment, he took a closer look at Ning Shuo and found that his skin was on par with Lan Shi, although it was completely different, but they all belonged to the kind of scholarly spirit. Then there is the bone phase, which is indeed somewhat similar.
No wonder from the moment he just entered the main hall, he always felt that the person in front of him was very comfortable.
It turned out to be like Lan Shi.
Lan Shi, this child, is indeed comfortable.
But his life is not good.
He sighed, "Your husband always feels sorry for Lan Shi, I'm afraid that he will put that affection on you." ”
The emperor slowly walked towards the front again, and said slowly: "Your gentleman's eyes are either black or white, so naturally he can't be relieved of this matter." But you don't want to learn from him, in the world, fate comes and goes, fate is over, and you can't force it. ”
Although he also loves Lan Shi, Lan Shi is out of luck with him, and he doesn't want to think of this person again.
What do you want to do?
In the emperor's life, from fighting for the heir to sitting on the throne, from the battlefield to the court, he has already looked down on the people in his life.
He patted Ning Shuo's arm, "I hope you are the second Buyuchuan." ”
