Chapter 164: Return to the Dynasty
In the sound of sonorous iron armor, Yuan Qi walked into the mansion of Huangfu Chu in a golden armor. Zuo Ci led a team of Digui elites www.biquge.info followed, and Jin Shang and Du Ji were also among them. With his eyes swept in the courtyard, Yuan Qi quickly saw Yuan Xie, strode forward, stretched out his hand and wanted to press on the top of Yuan Xie's head, but stopped halfway. Yuan Qi had embarrassment on his face, forgetting that it was not a private party at the moment, and the first ministers of the Emperor Fu were still watching by his side.
Yuan Xie saw Yuan Qi's movements, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took the initiative to take two steps forward and stood still under Yuan Qi's big hand. Yuan Xie was only nine years old, and his body was thin, and his height had just reached Yuan Qi's waistline. He stepped forward, just enough to let Yuan Qi's big hand above his head. Before Yuan Xie ascended the throne, Yuan Qi's favorite action was to press the top of Yuan Xie's head with his big hand, and this habit has not changed until now.
"Brother Huang, you're here. Yuan Xie gently spit out such a sentence, how much sadness and grievances were all contained in these simple words. Yuan Qi did not hesitate, pressed down the big hand stretched out in mid-air, and gently pressed it on the top of Yuan Xie's head, comforting Yuan Xie. Yuan Xie's eyes were moist, in the eyes of others, Yuan Xie was the Son of Heaven and the Ninth Five-Year Honor, but in front of Yuan Qi, Yuan Xie had never regarded himself as the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Xie had always regarded Yuan Qi as his own brother.
"Bold!" interrupted Yuan Qi and Yuan Xie's reminiscence, Wang Nuo walked into the courtyard with a face full of anger, and said angrily to Yuan Qi: "Yuan Junhou, don't rely on your hard work and high achievements, just think that you can despise the dignity of the Son of Heaven, and quickly put your hands down!"
Wang Nuo is a stubborn person. The etiquette law occupies a very important place in his heart, and when he saw that Yuan Qi actually pressed his palm on the top of Yuan Xie's head, he was angry and reprimanded Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi withdrew his palm with a smile, turned to look at Wang Nuo, and said, "I heard that Lord Wang has been promoted to Situ, congratulations." Yuan Qi's words poked Wang Nuo's sore spot, as we all know, Wang Nuo was only Henan Yin before. After Dong Meng entered Beijing, Dong Meng pretended to be in the name of the Son of Heaven and made Wang Nuo one of the three princes. Originally, it was a happy thing to be promoted, but the problem is that Wang Nuo's position as Situ was not awarded by Yuan Xie himself, but by Dong Meng. This is not very obvious, but now that Yuan Xie has been rescued, if Wang Nuo still considers himself Situ, it will be really a big rebellion.
I was stunned by Yuan Qi's words. Wang Nuo hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed to Yuan Xie: "Holy Lord! The old minister is loyal, and the sun and the moon can be seen! The old minister succumbed to the thief, and he had also known the Holy Lord in advance." The old minister is a plan to save the country, not a high-ranking official who covets Dong Thief!"
Yuan Xie secretly wiped away the tears and calmed down. Only then did he say, "Situ, please get up." Situ's intentions, I naturally understand. Yuan Xie's words are tantamount to acknowledging Wang Nuositu's identity. After all, Wang Nuo is from a famous family and belongs to a relatively high-level existence in the scholar family, and for Wang Nuo, Yuan Xie still has to win it over.
Wang Nuo stood up gratefully, and was just about to continue to accuse Yuan Qi of being disrespectful to Yuan Xie, but Yuan Xie opened his mouth and intercepted Wang Nuo's words: "Wang Situ succumbed to the thief, endured humiliation and burden, and the imperial brother came to the rescue from thousands of miles away, and he also worked hard, both of you are my humerus ministers, and you will have to be closer in the future." ”
When Yuan Xie said this, Wang Nuo immediately understood what Yuan Xie meant: This matter is over, don't say it again. Emotional Yuan Xie justifiably sealed Situ's official position to himself, just to gag his mouth? Wang Nuo didn't realize until this moment that Yuan Ying, Huangfu Chu, and Jin Shang, who were standing in the courtyard, Du Ji and other ministers, all looked at Yuan Qi with a smile, without a trace of anger on their faces, it can be seen that Yuan Qi touched the top of Yuan Xie's head, although they had seen it a long time ago, but they didn't take it to heart, so it can be inferred that Yuan Qi's disrespectful behavior must have been approved by Yuan Xie in advance, Wang Nuo entered the courtyard later, and failed to see the situation in front of him, so he arbitrarily ordered Yuan Qi to let go, but he didn't expect to hit the muzzle of the gun.
After a small turmoil subsided, Yuan Qi beckoned to Zuo Ci and said, "Zuo Ci, present it." Zuo Ci strode forward, knelt down on one knee and opened the cloth bag in his hand, revealing Dong Meng's head inside.
"This ...... Is it Dong Meng?!" Yuan Xie asked in surprise and joy. Yuan Qi nodded lightly and said, "This is a gift from you, do you like it?" In front of Yuan Xie, the only person who can not be called a minister is Yuan Qi; in front of Yuan Xie, the only person who can not be called a saint is also Yuan Qi! Because at the beginning of Yuan Xie's ascension to the throne, the first edict of the Son of Heaven was promulgated, stating that Yuan Qi could enter the court without tending, pay homage unclear, and go to the temple with his sword.
Yuan Xie squatted down, looked carefully at Dong Meng's dead eyes, and said in a low voice: "Dong Meng, you didn't expect it? You will also have today, telling you that as long as I have the assistance of the imperial brother, no one can bring down my country!" Though he is dead, his sins are unforgivable, and he will ...... it."
"Wait!" a tiger roar interrupted Yuan Xie's will. This is already the second time in a short period of time that someone has interrupted him, Wang Nuo scolded Yuan Qi before, and it can be said that it is for the sake of Yuan Xie's majesty of the Son of Heaven not to be damaged, but this time, it is completely different, and the person who came is obviously to block Yuan Xie's disposal of Dong Meng.
Everyone raised their eyes and saw that Qi Tian's majestic figure appeared in everyone's sight. When he saw Qi Tian, Yuan Qi knew that Qi Tian had come to intercede for Dong Meng. Although on the execution table, Qi Tianyan and Dong Mengen broke off their righteousness, but with Qi Tian's affectionate temperament, he still couldn't make up his mind to truly break off his righteousness.
Qi Tianlong walked in front of Yuan Xie, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Qi Shengshang, although Dong Meng's crime is extremely evil, but his person is dead, the deceased is gone, and the minister begs the saint to keep his whole body." ”
Wang Nuo was already angry and had nowhere to vent, but when he saw Qi Tian actually pleading for Dong Meng, he thought of Qi Tian forcibly taking away Ruyu at the beginning, not only failed his serial beauty plan, but also greatly swept his face, and the combination of new and old hatreds made Wang Nuo feel like a fire was burning in his heart, and immediately said angrily: "Qi Tian! You were willing to be Dong Meng's minions in the past, and today you have what face to beg the Son of Heaven for mercy!"
Yuan Qi took a step forward and said loudly: "Wang Situ, didn't you stoop to the thief in the past? Do you know that General Qi doesn't have the same purpose as you? However, Ben Hou assured that General Qi was loyal and righteous, and that heaven and earth could learn from him, and that he was by no means a villain who coveted power! Moreover, if General Qi did not respond, it would be impossible for Ben Hou to easily enter the capital. As for you, Wang Situ, this Hou would like to ask you, Dong Meng's cholera dynasty has lasted for several months, and during this period, have you Wang Situ ever established the merit of size?!"
was speechless when Yuan Qi asked, and Wang Nuo's heart suddenly rose with a feeling of infinite grievance. He wanted to make meritorious contributions, wasn't that stirred up by Qi Tian? Moreover, he sacrificed his righteous daughter and used beauty tricks to provoke the contradiction between Dong Meng and Qi Tian, how could he be embarrassed to say this kind of thing on the table? Wang Nuo's face was flushed, and his face was full of bitter words.
Listening to Yuan Qi's narration, Yuan Xie has already understood the relationship between Yuan Qi and Qi Tian, and Yuan Qi is deeply touched by Yuan Qi's character of valuing brotherhood, and wants to agree to Qi Tian's request, but he is really resentful of Dong Meng in his heart; Qi Tian is nothing, he has no intersection with Yuan Xie, and Yuan Xie doesn't take it very seriously, but Qi Tian is Yuan Qi's sworn brother, which really makes Yuan Xie embarrassed, offending Qi Tian is equivalent to refuting Yuan Qi's face, Yuan Xie doesn't want to embarrass Yuan Qi.
The dilemma on Yuan Xie's face was seen by the emperor next to him. Huang Fuchu stood up and said: "Qi Shengshang, although Dong Meng has been ambushed now, but his subordinate Xu Rong is still stationed outside the city under the command of the Flying Bear Army, if you let Qi Tian go to appease you, if you can eliminate the hidden dangers of Xu Rong's department, then according to Qi Tian's words, leave his whole corpse; ”
Yuan Xie was moved, and said to Qi Tian: "I will give you three days." Within three days, persuade Xu Rong's troops to abandon their weapons and surrender, and I will do as you say. Qi Tian replied loudly: "Thank you Sheng Shang Longen! It doesn't have to be three days, Qi Tian will go now, and he will return in the evening!" With that, Qi Tian saluted Yuan Xie again, and then strode out of the courtyard.
At the same time as Qi Tian walked out of the courtyard, another group of people walked in. These people are all ministers loyal to the royal family in the court, Zhong Xuan, Zhu Huan, Song Qiong, Song Xi brothers and others are among them.
After everyone entered the courtyard, they all bowed to Yuan Xie and fell to the ground, and said in unison: "Begging the Holy Lord to return to the court!" Now that Dong Meng has been punished and the cholera has been subsided, these ministers have come to ask Yuan Xie to return to the palace.
Yuan Xie suddenly felt in a good mood, and after hiding in the wine cellar for several months, he could finally return to his identity as the Son of Heaven, and all of this was due to Yuan Qi. Yuan Xie stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Qi's big hand, and said loudly: "Please return to the court with me." All the ministers present were stunned when they heard this, Yuan Xie's words, but Yuan Qi was praised to the point of no return, not only did he call himself me, but also used the word "please" in the honorific, which shows that Yuan Xie's dependence on Yuan Qi has reached a considerable extent. However, in view of the world-famous exploits established by Yuan Qi in this quelling of the rebellion, no one raised objections.
