Chapter 458: Mitigation (1)
When Wen Si entered, it was already a mess. Wherever Gui Haikui could go, no matter how valuable the ancient porcelain and jade, they were all caught in his hands and smashed to the ground!
Although Wen Si was facing a five-year-old child, according to the rules, he also knelt down and said hypocritically, "Please calm the anger of the lord of the country!" Gui Haikui's face was full of tears, he slowly turned around, looked at Wen Si and said, "Queen Mother, will you really be killed?"
The Queen Mother was imprisoned, and Gui Haikui was like a small boat drifting in the boundless wind and waves, fearful, helpless and panicked. He heard the words of those maids and inner eunuchs privately discussing how the Queen Mother would be disposed of. Perhaps in his young heart, he never thought that the Queen Mother would die, and he himself would also die, so Gui Haikui's emotions exploded.
"Minister, minister doesn't know!" Wen Si's answer did not calm down Gui Haikui at all, but made him even more panicked, "Wen Xiang, you are an adult, the queen mother always praises you for your resourcefulness in front of me on weekdays, you must have a way! I don't want the queen mother to die, the queen mother!"
Wen Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Gui Haikui say this, he was relieved.
"The lord of the country, the minister is here because of this incident!" Wen Si said. Gui Haikui looked at him with disgust with the innocent and undisguised gaze of a child, "It's you, it's your mother who was locked up!"
After Wen Si was silent for a moment, he said to Gui Haikui, "The lord of the country, as a courtier, is shocked and entangled to learn that the queen mother is hiding the body of the first emperor. If you don't say it, if you connive at the Queen Mother to go on like this, she will be discovered one day. If you say it, you will hurt the queen mother, and you will be ashamed of the lord of the country and the first emperor!"
"Then you, then are you here to save your mother, or are you here to harm her?" Gui Haikui said unscrupulously, Wen Si said to him solemnly, "The minister is naturally here to help the lord of the country!" Gui Haikui climbed onto the dragon chair and sat upright, and said seriously, "Then you can tell me, how do you help me?"
Wen Si said, "The Queen Mother acts like this, which is a big rebellion. But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!" Gui Haikui suddenly became nervous, "You, do you still want to harm the queen mother?" Wen Si shook his head, "No, the minister thinks, no matter what, the queen mother can't continue to stay in the palace, it's better to punish her out of the palace!"
He tried his best and did not hesitate to risk his life, so that Shuangyuan could get out of the palace. Gui Haikui was anxious when he heard this, "No, I want the queen mother to stay in the palace!" Wen Si raised his head, "Does the lord of the country want the queen mother to be born, or does the queen mother want to stay in the palace?"
Gui Haikui didn't even think about it and said, "I want the queen mother to live, and I want her to stay in the palace to accompany me!" Wen Si smiled, "The lord of the country has heard a saying, you can't have both fish and bear's paws!" If the lord of the country forcibly keeps the queen mother in the palace, those courtiers will impeach the queen mother endlessly, and even implicate the lord of the country. ”
"But I'm the lord of the country!" Gui Haikui was still young, and he didn't understand that a child without any resourcefulness and milk smell was like a piece of fat and delicious lamb to those courtiers, and it was a ball of dough that could be kneaded at will.
"That minister has the courage to be the lord of the country, will these maids and inner eunuchs listen to the words of the lord of the country?" Wen Si asked a very simple question, but he stumped Gui Haikui. Others don't say it, but Gui Haikui knows very well in his heart that not every will he will follow, and those maids and inner eunuchs will obey it. Many times, they will come up with all sorts of excuses to stop him.
Seeing that Gui Haikui was silent, Wen Si said, "They are still like this, how can the state convince those courtiers to turn a blind eye to what the Queen Mother has done, and let the Queen Mother continue to stay in the palace?
Gui Haikui's tears gathered more and more when he asked one question after another, and finally cried out with a "wow", "I don't want the queen mother to go, I don't want the queen mother to go!" Wen Si took out a handkerchief, hugged him gently, and wiped the tears on his face, "Tomorrow, the minister will find a way to keep the queen mother's life, and the lord of the country will make another will to depose the queen mother and send her out of the palace." The minister assured the lord that every once in a while, he would quietly send the lord out of the palace to meet the queen mother. ”
"Really, is there really no other way?" Gui Haikui stopped crying and said, "I think, every day, every day, I see the queen mother!" Wen Si sighed, "It won't be long before the lord of the country will understand that it is not easy for people to live in the world!"
On this day, everything looks like business as usual at the palace. From top to bottom, except for those unpleasant discussions, there was not much movement. It's like a thumb-sized pebble thrown into an ocean, and the splash is almost negligible.
But many more people who appear to be calm on the surface are terrified at nightfall, because they know that a storm is coming, and they don't know what the outcome will be.
Throughout the night, the two brothers, the immortal and the immortal, were sent by Wen Si to deliver letters to the minister's palace close to him and powerful, going back and forth, almost exhausted. When it was dark, I could finally rest for a while.
"Brother, what do you say, what are we busy with?" and did not smile bitterly, "If he said a word, our brothers are about to break their legs." Speaking of which, he made this thing up in the first place, and now he is in a hurry to make up for it, is it really worth it for a woman?"
"Maybe we've never experienced the love between men and women, so we can't understand it. "Immortal said," I heard that when the first emperor was there, in the Mid-Autumn Festival of one year, in order to go back to accompany the queen mother as soon as possible, he actually drunk all the courtiers. When I first heard about this, I couldn't understand that a king would leave a thousand-year-old laughing stock for a woman! But today, looking at Xiangye's anxious appearance, I suddenly understood something. ”
"If I had a woman in the future, I wouldn't do it, it would make people laugh!" said without being ashamed, but without dying with a smile and wanting to say, "You, don't talk so much, be careful of retribution!"
By the time the sun rose over the horizon, the courtiers were already standing above the Golden Temple. Today's atmosphere is very different, Gui Haikui is sitting alone on the dragon chair, the curtain behind him is empty, this is the first time since Gui Haikui ascended the throne, sitting here alone, extremely flustered.
"The minister has a book to play!"
"The minister also has a book!"
"There are ministers, too!"
Without waiting for the inner eunuch to speak, four or five courtiers had already stood up, and each of them belonged to the Empress Dowager! Gui Haikui was about to cry in a hurry, and he couldn't stop looking at Wen Si. Because yesterday Wen Si repeatedly assured him that he would try his best to hold the Queen Mother's life, but the condition put forward was that he must be obedient!
