Chapter 366: Hand-picked
Zhao Delin arched his hand and said: "Now that person is beside Wei Chen", the emperor looked at Xiao Ge beside Zhao Delin, with a national face, a righteous face, a strong physique, in his thirties, slowly walked towards Xiao Ge, and said: "You are Xiao Ge".
Xiao Ge arched his hand and said: "Xiao Ge of the grass people to meet the emperor", and knelt down as he spoke, and the emperor hurriedly helped Xiao Ge and said: "Big hero, don't be so polite, as soon as I see you, I feel that you are extraordinary, not an idle person."
Xiao Ge said modestly: "Your Majesty, the grass people are just a reckless man, and there is nothing special about it." The emperor interrupted and said: "Hey, I admire heroes like you very much, if I were not the emperor, I would also want to go to the rivers and lakes and live a wandering life."
Everyone lowered their heads, Guo Zhengfan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you can't, the rivers and lakes are a mixed place, what treacherous villains can be seen everywhere, and people in the rivers and lakes can't believe it", the emperor immediately laughed and said: "I'm just joking, why should the Qing family take it seriously, it's just Guo Qing's family, what is the situation, why are Xiao Ge here, why are there so many people."
Zhao Delin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Guo wants to keep Xiao Daxia privately", the emperor asked: "Why is this", Guo Zhengfan has a red face and stabs, if he doesn't explain, I'm afraid Zhao Delin really wants to participate in his own book, the court is originally a place to fight for power, if someone else catches his handle, it will always become a stain, I can't say clearly, Guo Zhengfan explained:" Your Majesty, Weichen just wants to invite Xiao Daxia to come over to talk about it, and there is no other malice, his reputation in the rivers and lakes can be described as thunderous, and he has never had the opportunity to meet, today he just had the opportunity to meet Xiao Daxia, and Weichen should be the friend of the landlord."
The emperor said: "Then why did you find so many masters in the interior, and why is this", Guo Zhengfan said with a smiling face: "Weichen just wants to learn martial arts with this Xiao Daxia, and there is no malice."
Zhao Delin sneered and said: "Lord Guo, your explanation is a bit far-fetched, but your idea is really", the emperor stretched out his hands and said: "Okay, okay, since Xiao Daxia has been invited, and he is also a character in the rivers and lakes appointed by me, don't embarrass him, Xiao Daxia will follow me back to the palace first."
Zhao Delin thought to himself: "The emperor's move can be regarded as an explanation for Guo Zhengfan, then I don't dare to embarrass more, as long as Xiao Ge has nothing to do, anything can be said, this time I didn't catch Guo Zhengfan's handle, I'm afraid that in the future, it will look at me differently."
Xiao Ge can be regarded as a person who knows the times, and he doesn't dare to openly argue with the emperor, the emperor has been exonerated by Guo Zhengfan, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you to the emperor", the emperor smiled, opened his mind and smiled, smiled from the heart, shook his robe and said: "Go back to the palace."
Striding forward, Zhao Delin and Xiao Ge followed, and the people of Guo Mansion knelt down to see each other off, and said in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor", Xiao Ge followed the emperor all the way to the palace in a carriage.
Around the main hall, the ancient trees are towering, the green trees are shady, the red wall and yellow tiles, the golden glazed tiles shine with dazzling light in the sun, the palace golden roof, the red door, this antique style, make people feel solemn spontaneously.
The Ming Dynasty came to Beijing from Nanjing, after a hundred years, it looks very spectacular, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the matter of moving the capital, the emperor did not directly bring Xiao Ge to the main hall, but brought Xiao Ge to the imperial garden, came to a pavilion in the imperial garden, and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs below to prepare some wine, the emperor sat down, Xiao Ge and Zhao Delin did not dare to sit down without permission in the case of the emperor's instructions, the emperor was very wise, pointed to the stool and said: "Sit down."
Zhao Delin and Xiao Ge arched their hands and said in unison: "Thank you Emperor", the emperor said: "Xiao Daxia", Xiao Ge said modestly: "Your Majesty, call me Xiao Ge, Xiao Daxia dare not be called", the emperor smiled and said: "Okay, Xiao Ge, you are the head of the Xiaoyao faction, I also know that you and Tianmen Xiongfei have been going around, no one else in the rivers and lakes can dare to go against Xiongfei except you, I admire you very much."
Xiao Ge said: "This is a matter within the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, Xiongfei has killed so many people in the rivers and lakes, if Xiongfei is not destroyed, how can he be stable", the emperor clapped his hands and said: "Xiao Ge, what you said is so good, I have been looking for a long time and I can't find a heroic hero like you, a hero, Zhao Delin really didn't read it wrong, and I didn't believe it wrong", Zhao Delin said modestly: "This is the emperor's insight into heroes, and Weichen does not have any credit", the emperor said happily: "Come on, hurry up and come up."
"Chirp" The eunuch and the palace maid below said in unison, after a while, the wine has come up, the wine has not come up, the fragrance of wine has drifted to Xiao Ge's nostrils, very fragrant but not very mellow, the emperor said: "Xiao Ge, I heard that you like to drink, drinkers are very interested in wine, I don't know if you can guess what this wine is called", Xiao Ge closed his eyes, gasped deeply, slowly opened his eyes, and said: " Emperor Qiqi, whether it is the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River, has never seen this kind of wine, it must be from the Western Regions, the wine is very fragrant, but it is not a normal fragrance", the emperor was a little surprised, Zhao Delin thought to himself: "Not good, Xiao Ge This is clearly wanting to dismantle the emperor's platform, this is the wine of the Western Regions, the emperor loves it very much, but Xiao Ge said that this wine is very fragrant but not normal", I can't help but be a little worried, Xiao Ge is a straightforward person, refreshing character.
Xiao Ge's eyes were also staring at the emperor, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and he does not allow others to say that he is wrong, but he didn't expect the emperor to be smiling, Long Yan Dayue said: "Xiao Ge, you are right, this wine is indeed a fine wine in the Western Regions, I have always felt that there is something wrong with this wine, but it is indeed very fragrant, and it has been cellared, I originally wanted to give you a jar, but I didn't expect this wine to be abnormal."
Xiao Ge arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people don't mean to spoil your mood, drinking less of this kind of wine can indeed make people feel very fragrant, but if you drink too much, your body is not too good", the emperor nodded slightly, agreeing with what Xiao Ge said.
Xiao Ge came to the eunuch's side, picked up the wine jar, and said to the emperor: "The grass people thank the emperor for the wine", the emperor said: "Okay, Xiao Ge is really a refreshing person", Xiao Ge said: "If the grass people have offended and know their mistakes just now, please ask the emperor for forgiveness", said and knelt down on one knee, and respected the emperor very much, the emperor hurriedly went up to help Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge still didn't get up, and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people came this time just to get justice for some people."
The emperor persuaded him: "You must get up first and get up first", Xiao Ge got up, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are about 1,000 people in Yinyi Village, Zhejiang and a town, all of whom are deaf and dumb", the emperor was surprised, more than 1,000 people were all deaf and dumb, frowning, and very unhappy in his heart.
The emperor asked: "Who poisoned these people, do you know the way", Xiao Ge put down the wine jar in his hand, took out a yellowed piece of paper from his arms, and said: "Your Majesty, please see."
The emperor took the paper given by Xiao Ge, opened it and looked at it, he was stunned, it was an order issued in accordance with the emperor's will, and said: "Who gave it to you, is there someone who deliberately wants to slander the majesty of my Ming Dynasty", Zhao Delin, who was standing aside, did not know what Xiao Ge gave, Xiao Ge could boldly come forward and say: "Please also ask the emperor to find out about this matter", the emperor took the paper and said: " It's just that I have never approved such a recital, let alone hurt more than a thousand people, and looking at this paper for some years, I don't know when it happened."
Xiao Ge said: "The matter of more than 20 years", the emperor said: "The matter of more than 20 years, how can I know the Tao, I have only been on the throne for more than ten years, and I have never criticized such a rule."
Xiao Ge arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the emperor to seek justice for the lives of more than 1,000 people", the emperor sat heavily on the stool and chair, pinching his forehead with his right hand, how to check what happened twenty years ago, if it was really what the first emperor did, how to rehabilitate, thinking about it, Zhao Delin stepped forward a few steps and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to think about it too much, go back and rest first, you are also a little tired today", the emperor nodded and said: " Okay, then Xiao Ge, you can arrange it first, and the matter about Yinyi Village will be postponed for a while, and then checked again when there is new evidence."
Zhao Delin nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, let your father-in-law help you back to the palace to rest first", the emperor nodded, and your father-in-law hurriedly came over to help the emperor go back first, and only Xiao Ge and Zhao Delin were left in the pavilion.
Xiao Ge sat on the stool and was very depressed, Zhao Delin stepped forward to comfort: "Xiao Ge, you are still sulking", Xiao Ge said: "I just want to reason with the emperor, he is obviously prevaricating."
Zhao Delin said: "Xiao Ge, let me give you an analysis, your matter is very troublesome, there are a lot of people involved, and it was twenty years ago", Xiao Ge argued: "What is the relationship between the two, I just want the emperor to find out who executed the order."
Zhao Delin said: "Of course the two have a relationship, this is a matter of more than a thousand lives, not a small matter, the current emperor has only been on the throne for ten years, and he has not participated in more than 20 years, that can only show who executes the order, the person who gave the order is very likely to be the first emperor, the current emperor is a filial son, let him turn out the things of more than 20 years, and blame the first emperor, isn't this a dilemma."
Xiao Ge flicked his sleeves and said: "Is this matter just settled", Zhao Delin said: "Then what do you want", Xiao Ge said: "Even if you can't avenge them, you have to find out who did it, the orders that were executed, and the orders that were given."
Zhao Delin said: "Forget it, this is the palace, and you can't do it with your martial arts alone."
