Chapter 38: Sacrifice
"That's willing!"
Chu Qingqing hurriedly replied, "Taifu Sun is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, if I can have his help, I will definitely be much easier!" ”
"Okay."
Seeing her say this, Zhao Feng continued to speak,
"But the slave also feels that what His Majesty said to Mrs. Sun before is really a bit excessive, so if you want Mrs. Sun to join Your Majesty's camp, Your Majesty is afraid that you will have to personally go to the Taifu to compensate for it, so that the Taifu can feel Your Majesty's sincerity."
"I'm going to apologize to Taifu?"
Chu Qingqing was a little hesitant when he heard this, "I'm the emperor...... How can there be an emperor who apologizes to his courtiers ......"
"Why not?"
Zhao Feng said patiently, "People are not sages, who can be without fault, even Your Majesty will make mistakes, but it doesn't matter if you make mistakes, the most important thing is to correct it." ”
"If Your Majesty, as the emperor, can bow your head and apologize to your courtiers, then why can't Taifu Sun, as a courtier, forgive Your Majesty for his past gaffes?"
"Mrs. Sun is a rare talent in the court, Your Majesty only needs to make a good compensation, and you will have the opportunity to gain his allegiance, Your Majesty should not lose a lot of money for the sake of face."
Hearing this, Chu Qingqing sighed.
"That's what you said, then I'll make a good compensatory to Mrs. Sun, right, but...... But Mrs. Sun is notoriously old-fashioned, and it is not certain that he will accept my apology. ”
"It's his business whether to accept it or not, Your Majesty only needs to show his attitude first."
Zhao Feng opened his mouth and said, "The slave believes that Mrs. Sun is not such an unreasonable person. ”
"I hope so."
Chu Qingqing also prayed silently in his heart, "But when will you call the Taifu into the palace?" ”
"It's not okay to call into the palace."
Zhao Feng immediately denied her words, "First, it is too obvious to call into the palace with great fanfare, if the Queen Mother and Fan Shicheng's people know, they will inevitably find out that we are trying to win over the Taifu, in case they make a move, it will be troublesome." ”
"Second, this is Your Majesty's fault, calling people into the palace to apologize is somewhat condescending, so Your Majesty should go out of the palace."
Speaking of this, Zhao Feng thought for a moment, "The slave remembers that after seven days is the day of sacrificing to the master, Your Majesty can use this name to go out of the palace to the country to see Mrs. Sun, which will definitely not arouse suspicion." ”
"Then let's arrange this matter with Lao Daban."
Chu Qingqing has always been at ease with Zhao Feng, and after saying this, he opened the book and began to look at it.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng didn't bother anymore and gently exited the study.
After all, it's a good thing that children love to read!
Seven days passed quickly, and with the open and secret struggle between the two parties of the Queen Mother and Fan Shicheng, the day of the Guozijian to sacrifice the master arrived.
"Niangniang, today Your Majesty is going out of the palace to the national prince to worship the master."
Red sleeves reported Chu Qingqing's movements to the Queen Mother as usual, and the Queen Mother was choked by Fan Shicheng recently, and she really didn't have time to take care of Chu Qingqing's affairs.
"If she wants to go, she will go, a dead girl pretending to go to sacrifice what master?"
The Queen Mother's eyes were full of disdain, "I'm afraid it's just an excuse to go out of the palace to play!" What the hell is she doing?! ”
Seeing the Queen Mother say this, Red Sleeves had no choice but to retreat silently.
And today's Chu Qingqing was excited with a little nervousness.
The main reason is that she hasn't been out of the palace for a long time, and she does have some expectations for this, but she thinks that the purpose of this trip is to compensate Mrs. Sun, so she is a little nervous.
"Your Majesty relax."
Zhao Feng comforted softly, "Mrs. Sun is not a man-eating demon, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry so much, as long as Your Majesty sincerely apologizes to him, Mrs. Sun should understand." ”
With these words, Chu Qingqing's uneasy mood calmed down a little.
"The emperor drove to ——!"
The royal driver soon came to the Guozijian in the center of the capital, and with Xiao Yunzi's shout, the courtiers who came to the door early to greet him knelt down and saluted.
Zhao Feng stretched out his hand to help Chu Qingqing down from the carriage, glanced around, and immediately noticed Mrs. Sun who was standing at the front.
The expression on Taifu Sun's face couldn't tell his emotions, but he could feel that he was still a little unhappy, after all, Chu Qingqing had said before that he wanted him to return to his hometown, if it was Zhao Feng, I am afraid he would have been angry to death.
"All love is exempt."
Chu Qingqing opened his mouth, and the courtiers got up and followed Chu Qingqing into the Guozi Prison.
This was the first time Zhao Feng had come to this place, and his professionalism as a killer made him constantly observe the surrounding environment, although it was unlikely that he would encounter any danger here, he still planned the best route to escape with Chu Qingqing in his heart.
All the way to the hall dedicated to the master, Chu Qingqing held incense in his hand, bowed three times to the bronze statue of the master on the futon, and then handed the incense to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng had been observing the surroundings, slightly absent-minded, reached out to take the incense in Chu Qingqing's hand, and casually inserted it into an incense burner in front of him.
And just as he made this action, the people around him gasped.
What's the situation?
Zhao Feng noticed that the eyes of others looking at him were a little incredulous, why, could it be that his face was not washed today?
"Mr. Zhao!"
Xiao Yunzi on the side lowered his voice, "You plugged in the wrong incense burner!" The bronze statue in the middle is the Master! ”
Zhao Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled out the incense just now and inserted it into the correct incense burner.
He made a mistake for a long time!
But this can't be blamed on him, there are so many bronze statues here that look similar, and they are all so close, and it is the first time for him to come, isn't it normal to admit his mistakes!
Chu Qingqing also didn't expect Zhao Feng to make a mistake about this, looking at the rare embarrassment on his face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ahem."
Zhao Feng coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, "Your Majesty, don't you still have something to ask Taifu today." ”
"Yes."
Chu Qingqing barely stopped laughing and looked at Mrs. Sun on the side,
"I wonder if Taifu is free? I have some things I want to talk to Taifu about alone. ”
Mrs. Sun was a little surprised to see that Chu Qingqing was going to talk to him, but she still kept a straight face and nodded,
"Since His Majesty wants to find the old minister, how can the old minister have a reason to excuse himself? Your Majesty, please. ”
Chu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng nodded, and the three of them went towards Mrs. Sun's study together.
"What's the matter with Your Majesty?"
After closing the door, Mrs. Sun asked directly, as if she didn't want to say too much nonsense.
