Chapter 120 The chaotic situation
Xiao Dianxiu shook her head desperately, no matter what, she couldn't accept that her brother died in the hands of Ying Shaoyan, and she couldn't stand Ying Shaoyan still holding Meng Xue now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Zhengyi looked sad when he came to Xiao Dianxiu, and his voice softened: "Don't be rash, go home, child." ”
Xiao Zhengyi said in response: "I asked my family to bandage you, the court's condemnation will come at any time, you can't stay here for too long, wrap up your injuries and go back with Xiaoxue quickly." ”
Ying Shaoyan shook his head: "Uncle Xiao, don't blame Dianxiu anymore, I only regret that I didn't do a little better, and now I can't get anything back." I'm going to take Xiaoxue back, take care of yourself, adult. ”
After that, he helped Meng Xue onto the horse, and then jumped on the horse himself, hugging Meng Xue tightly with one hand, he didn't look back, because he didn't know what to say, he and she were still close now, but they might be as strange as if they were far away from now on.
In the speechlessness, his heart could not be suppressed, and he knew that leaving at this time might be their eternal parting. Even if we see each other again, we can only be strangers. However, Meng Xue was still unconscious in his arms, her long black hair was spread out, and her pale little face without a trace of blood was only delicate long eyebrows and long hanging eyelashes, which were pitch black. He silently said in his heart: "Xiaoxue, I'll accompany you home." ”
He didn't look back, clamped his legs on the horse's back, and galloped away with Meng Xue.
Xiao Zhengyi looked at Ying Shaoyan running away, and then patted Xiao Dianxiu's shoulder: "Child, let's go back too." This familiar home, I don't know how long we can stay. Xiao Dianxiu sobbed and followed his father into the back door of the governor's mansion, and the doorman slammed the door shut.
The Emperor's Palace.
Something so big happened, the emperor was very angry. Especially when he heard that King Kang Ming was involved, he was furious. Let the guards drag King Kangming, who had surrendered, down to house arrest in a hut west of the Xuanzheng Palace, send people to guard it day and night, and in a fit of rage, he was not allowed to give King Kangming food.
He scolded this cousin, who had been in exile for ten years: "Don't you like the capital? Okay, I will take you back to the capital when I return to Luan, and you don't want to leave half a step from now on!
Shen Hechang saw that the emperor was so angry that his hair was about to stand up the crown on his head, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, King Kang Ming is the king of all candidates, and it is forgivable to be bolder." That Xiao Zhengyi's private weapons must not be spared. ”
The emperor gasped and sat on top of the dragon pier: "All of them are going to rebel! A feudal official, who has been serving the country for many years, doesn't know that making weapons privately is a big crime for the Jiu clan?" he was so angry that he was trembling all over.
The queen stayed by the emperor's side and hurriedly persuaded her: "Your Majesty, fortunately, I was discovered by my father in time and got rid of King Kangming's armory." Although there is no evidence of rebellion at present, King Kang Ming has always been uneasy in his heart, which is known to the world. But he is the emperor's sibling, and the emperor has to think twice about his decision. ”
The emperor picked up King Kangming's fold from the table, and wrote on it that he was not suitable for use because of his small fief and barren production. And the grandfather of the country relied on the prestige of his relatives and often connived at soldiers and people to cross the border to plunder. I couldn't make ends meet, and I had to entrust Xiao Meng to privately make weapons for profit, and the compensation was insufficient, but there was absolutely no intention of rebellion.
The emperor carried the fold and shouted: "How pitiful! My cousin, the king of one side, went to make weapons privately because he didn't have enough food and clothing, can you believe it?"
Shen Hechang borrowed the relationship of the queen and was able to meet the emperor privately, seeing that Meng Dingguo and other courtiers were not in front of him at this moment, he took the opportunity to prelude and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhengyi and Meng Dingguo acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily, intervened in the government affairs, and didn't even listen to the emperor's words. Fortunately, the two of them have always been at odds, so it is better to take this opportunity to bring Xiao Zhengyi to justice first, which will not only affirm TC justice, but also weaken the power of these feudal officials. ”
The queen glanced at her father and signaled him not to talk nonsense.
The emperor stood up: "Meng Dingguo and Xiao Zhengyi have been at odds for a long time," he turned around the hall twice, stood in front of Shen Hechang, pointed at his father-in-law with his hand, raised his voice and said: "It's true that they are not at odds, but they can deal with you Shen Hechang is very consistent! My father-in-law, how many people have you offended over the years think I don't know? Fortunately, your daughter is virtuous and capable, has the reputation of a virtuous queen, and is a good helper of me, so how much has she done for you! Guozhang is still feeling good about himself, cut!"
Shen Hechang made a big face and took a step back. The queen gave her father a cautious look.
The emperor pressed his breath, and then said to Shen Hechang lightly: "The Qing family's auxiliary government in the capital is indispensable, and I also want to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to my uncle, so I will send you to Xiyuzhou to lock up Xiao Zhengyi, and give these important ministers in Xiyuzhou who don't listen to me a dismount." As for what kind of responsibility Xiao Zhengyi will be sentenced to, it is best not to say much, otherwise it will provoke Meng Dingguo, and you will not be able to eat and walk around. ”
The queen glanced at Shen Hechang, and Shen Hechang didn't dare to say more. He originally wanted to recommend his general Xue Kexing to temporarily act as the governor of Xiyuzhou, but he didn't dare to mention it at the moment.
The emperor stood up, but seemed to guess his thoughts: "I know the thoughts of the abbot, but although your deputy general Xue Kexing is brave and has made outstanding achievements, after all, the foundation is a little shallow." Xiyuzhou is a border pass, full of dangers, and mountain rain is coming. wants to partner with Meng Dingguo, but he is not qualified yet. I have decided to reinstate Ying Zhengyun. ”
"What?!" Shen Hechang was shocked for a moment: "Your Majesty, you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain." That Ying Zhengyun dared to assassinate the Queen Mother back then, how could she use it again?"
The emperor glanced at Shen Hechang: "Guozhang, you have too much to worry about." This world is still my world. ”
After that, the emperor said lightly: "The Qing family has worked hard, let's step back first." ”
Shen Hechang was unconvinced. However, as the emperor said, it is not his turn to call the shots in the world. Endure for a while, knock Xiao Zhengyi out first, and then clean up one by one, otherwise it will be difficult for you to seek justice.
Shen Hechang retreated. The emperor said to the queen: "Wanhua, you have worked hard, go back to the palace as soon as possible to rest, and don't criticize it today." ”
The queen stretched out her hand and gently touched the emperor's forehead, "Your Majesty, it's already autumn, look at the sweat on your forehead, but pay attention to the dragon body." ”
The emperor stretched out his hand to hold the queen's hand: "Sitting on the country, how can there be such a comfortable emperor?" The Qing family should rest early today, I still have a lot of important things tomorrow, and I need the queen to give me courage." ”
With that, he patted the queen's face lightly and motioned for her to rest. An Yurong and Zhao Yuchang helped the queen kneel to the emperor and went down.
The emperor saw that they had already gone out, and motioned to the eunuchs around him to close the palace door.
He said to the only eunuch left, "Call him out." ”
