Chapter 328: It's hard to ride a tiger

The emperor's sentence gave her to you as a second room, and the whole banquet hall was quiet again. Everyone's eyes were on Tang Guogong and Tang Shuyi. The emperor's move was undoubtedly slapping Tang Shuyi and Tang Guogong in the face.

And at this moment, Tang Guogong was sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, his face was as usual, and he couldn't see his joy and anger. Tang Shuyi didn't seem to hear the emperor's words, poured himself a cup of tea and pecked it in small sips, with a leisurely posture.

It was Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuzhu who had anger on their faces at first, but later when they saw that their mother was not moving, they also began to look as usual, and the same was true for Concubine and Li Jingyi. However, because the county lord of Jianing didn't know much about Tang Shuyi, his face was worried.

Xiao Huai smiled helplessly when he saw his wife and children like this, this is to make him express his position!

"Your Majesty," he bowed and said, "When the minister first asked to marry his wife, he made an oath, and I, Xiao Huai, will be a wife in this life, and the oath cannot be revived, and I hope that the emperor will take back his fate." ”

The banquet hall was silent again, Xiao Huai's words were undoubtedly resisting the decree, but he didn't know what the emperor was going to do. This was the first head-on conflict with the emperor after Xiao Huai's class returned to the court, and everyone watched it with full attention. Who wins the first meeting is really crucial!

The emperor's face was naturally not good, and he said with a cold face: "I remember that you had two concubines before, but they died of illness later. ”

These words focused everyone's attention on Tang Shuyi again. In the backyard of the house, it is normal for one or two concubines to die, but how they usually die, the housewives of each family know very well in their hearts.

Tang Shuyi's face was still as usual, as if she didn't feel the gaze of others. At this time, I heard Xiao Huai say: "Those two concubines are spies of the enemy country, and the ministers are going to plan for it, and the ministers have reported this matter to the emperor before." ”

The emperor's fists were clenched tightly, he didn't expect Xiao Huai to give him an ugly look in public, did he still have the emperor in his eyes? Turning his head, he looked at Tang Shuyi, "The Duchess of Dingguo has always been virtuous, and she is not a jealous person, what do you say?" ”

Tang Shuyi stood up, walked to the center of the banquet hall and stood with Xiao Huai, and bowed respectfully to the emperor, "The courtiers are unwilling. ”

With such a sentence, Tang Shuyi could feel how sharp the emperor's gaze was when he looked at her. If his gaze had been on the knife, she would have fallen to the ground and died by now. Of course, it is a pity that the gaze is not a knife.

She continued: "There are people in the world who can be abolished, and there is no word to be abolished, and no matter what the reason, the oath cannot be abolished. If he annulls his original oath today, he will be a man of his word, and a courtier will not get along with such a person day and night. ”

"Madam," Xiao Huai said with panic on his face, "My husband has not forgotten his original vow, and I will not take a concubine." ”

Tang Shuyi glanced at him, "You naturally have to listen to the emperor in everything." ”

Emperor: "........"

It's really pointing at Sang and scolding Huai! It is saying that he forced his courtiers to be untrustworthy, and his face was so black that ink could drip out. Clenching his fists, he said: "People can't be untrustworthy, but as a courtier, you must also obey the emperor's orders, Xiao Aiqing, you decide for yourself." ”

He wants to see what Xiao Huai will do this time. If Xiao Huai dares to resist and disobey the order, it will be better and directly punish him.

And Xiao Huai looked at the emperor's expression and roughly guessed what he thought. He sneered in his heart, "The minister can't break his word, please forgive the emperor." ”

This sentence made the emperor excited for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes, "It seems that Xiao Aiqing is going to resist the decree." ”

He raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Huai, "Dingguo Gong Xiao Huai resists ....."

"Your Majesty."

Wu Zhengxin, a close confidant of the emperor, came out and shouted, then knelt on the ground and said: "Dingguo Gong has made great contributions to the great cadres, you want to give a reward, Dingguo Gong and his wife have a deep affection, you can exchange it for other rewards!"

The emperor can be said to be stuck in his throat in one breath, and his mouth is uncomfortable. He knew that Wu Zhengxin was reminding him that now was not the time to punish Xiao Huai, but he couldn't wait. Xiao Huai is now a thorn in his heart.

He sat on it in silence, and the courtiers below were silent, waiting for his final decision. Wu Zhengxin is about to die, if the emperor punishes Xiao Huai now, he will definitely not be able to get any good. If the emperor is taken down, he, the emperor's cronies, will not be much better.

He turned his head to look at Jiao Kangsheng, Jiao Kangsheng understood, walked to the emperor's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xiao Ergongzi did not come to the palace banquet today, and Dingguo Gong must be prepared." There are thousands of Northwest troops outside the city. ”

The emperor's fists were clenched tightly, in fact, now he didn't know how many people Xiao Huai really brought back. On the surface, there are 6,000 people, but secretly how many are there?

"Emperor, ......" At this time, Tang Guogong's crying voice sounded, and he saw him kneeling on the ground, clapping his hand on the small machine and shedding tears, saying:

"The emperor, the old minister never thought that one day he would be forced to move an inch. O Emperor, look at it! The minister is just this daughter, and when she reaches middle age, she will be forced to return home, and you tell the minister what the minister should do, woo woo woo woo ......"

......

The ministers watched Tang Guogong cry and flow, and the old ministers who followed the emperor to fight the country at the beginning were also related. There are also many people who roll their eyes in their hearts, Tang Guogong, the old fox, is acting again.

The emperor's face was pale, and he was now riding a tiger.

"Your Majesty," the concubine spoke, "Tang Guogong talked about the emperor, which reminded me of what happened many years ago. At that time, Cheng Yun was six or seven years old, and once Tang Guogong brought his palm beads into the palace. When the emperor saw that the little girl was smart and clever, he sighed and said to me, "It would be good if Chengyun was two years older, and I would give Chengyun and Tang Guogong the palm beads to marry." ”

The concubine smiled when she said this, and then said: "At that time, I told the emperor that even if Chengyun was two years older, I heard that the prince of Yongning Hou and Tang Guogong were childhood sweethearts. The emperor laughed when he heard this, and said that the two were indeed a good match. ”

The concubine looked at Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai, and said with a smile: "The emperor's vision is still accurate, look at how good these two are." The emperor, the former emperor also hopes that the two of them will always be harmonious and beautiful. ”

The emperor's hands were clenched together, but the expression on his face was much softened. Seeing this, the queen immediately said: "The emperor's forgiveness is all the fault of the concubine, and the concubine ordered the mandarin duck spectrum indiscriminately." ”

The emperor silently took a few deep breaths, making his heart attack not so uncomfortable, and then said: "It is indeed the queen's fault, the husband and wife of Dingguo are deeply affectionate, and they can't tolerate concubines, don't talk about letting Dingguo take concubines in the future." ”

The expression on the queen's face was a little stiff, "Yes, the concubine understands." ”

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, "Xiao Aiqing has made great contributions to my great work, since Aiqing doesn't like beauties, I will reward something else." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Xiao Huai saluted, and Tang Shuyi also saluted.
