Chapter 143 Study Room Deliberations
Qin Yuzhi nodded, and at the same time, Jin Jingwen beside him handed over a letter: "Your Highness, this is left by General Nangong!"
King Qin took it and wanted to open it, but he stopped in the heartache and hesitation, about a breath, King Qin handed the letter to Qin Yuzhi, Qin Yuzhi turned around, and waited for the irritability in his heart to subside for a moment or two, he opened the letter, and it was just a cup of tea, Qin Yuzhi finished reading, and then looked up, he was already in tears,
In the letter, Nangong Bao said his heart, the imperial power is ruthless, the punishment is inevitable, even if Qin Yuzhi is willing to die to protect it, but how can Nangong Bao let Qin Yuzhi enter the suspicion of Emperor Xia Jing, for the sake of today, the best way is to commit suicide, without the seed of Nangong Bao's lure, Emperor Xia Jing will not be suspicious of Qin Yuzhi.
After a while, Qin Yuzhi tore the letter into pieces and scattered it with the wind, looking at the white ice and snow, Qin Yuzhi only felt that he was unbearable, he didn't understand, what was it that forced such a fierce general as Nangong Bao to turn over the road, if it was Prince Qing's foolish and loyal behavior, right and wrong, Qin Yuzhi had no way to be exquisite, so he could only follow his orders.
In the central capital, Emperor Xia Jing got the letter sent by Qin Yuzhi and immediately read it carefully. Later, Emperor Xia Jing said: "Uncle Qin thinks that I am young, and I am afraid that I will be used as an ear by traitorous ministers, this time when he does not arrive in Zhongdu, Uncle Qin Wang will ask for self-restraint and be kind to those generals under him!" Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, what should I do? ”
In the upper study, Xia Jingdi sat on the couch, and in front of him, almost all the central ministers such as Du Ruting, Luo Jinci, Gao Rou, and Liu Xun were present.
At this moment, even though there is no movement in the room, the hearts of the ministers are turning over the river and the sea, among which Du Ruting, Luo Jinci, and Gao Rou are the most intense.
This Gao Rou previously conspired against Jingzhao Pavilion's Jingzhao Ling Zhou Ping with criminal evidence, just to save his nephew, but Zhou Ping is Luan Shaohe's subordinate, Luan Shaohe belongs to Du Ruting's family, in this way, he can be regarded as putting the stubble under Du Ruting's nose, but what Gao Rou didn't expect was that Du Ruting did not fight back immediately, only some officials asked Emperor Xia Jing to admonish, but Emperor Xia Jing was sunk in the sea and was silent, which saved Gao Rou's trouble.
As for Du Ruting, this old fox had long known about Gao Rou's actions, but he was thoughtful, since Gao Rou was able to take over the position of the commander of the New Year ceremony, it was enough to show where His Majesty's heart was, so when Du Ruting was not sure of His Majesty's intentions, he would never make any moves.
At this point, the struggle between the two without gunpowder smoke appeared from time to time, but Luo Jinci looked at it at a loss, now the King of Qin of the Hexi Army is in Weihe County, if it is Du Ruting's method, His Majesty will order the exit, the Zhongdu Army will immediately capture the King of Qin, and let the generals of Hexi be executed later, to level Hexi, but His Majesty did not do this, but transferred back to all the Zhongdu Army, leaving only Qin Yuzhi as a companion, which can't help but make people think deeply, Your Majesty did not guard against the King of Qin? But leaving the general of Zhongdu by his side, if it is a precaution, and there is no placement of troops, it is really unclear, and Gao Rou is on duty at the moment of the commander, and Du Ruting is opposite, the two sides are now silent, there is no sign of continuing, for a while, Luo Jinci did not dare to do much at all, so as not to drag himself in this quagmire in the troubled waters.
It's just that when everyone was thinking about their own things, Emperor Xia Jing looked at everyone's faces and said secretly in his heart: "Everyone is for themselves, they are really my good courtiers!" ”
Of course, Emperor Xia Jing will not say this, after all, the imperial technique is like this, Emperor Xia Jing needs his subordinates to fight for personal interests, so that they will not peep into the imperial power.
Seeing that no one answered, Emperor Xia Jing coughed lightly, and the inner servant Buwu immediately spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is waiting for a reply?" ”
This statement is like a stone, breaking everyone's flat mirror, that Du Ruting swept away the doubts in his heart, and stepped forward to arch his hand: "Your Majesty, everyone knows that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is brave, but they don't know that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is deep, and now the King of Qin has come to ask His Majesty, just to keep the root of the Hexi Army, just imagine, the strength of an army only lies in the root, if you don't remove the root and change the land, this Hexi Army is a furnace of flames, which can be extinguished and burned, but the person in charge of the wind is not Your Majesty!" ”
The words were half closed, Du Ruting asked for advice before, he handed over the decision to Emperor Xia Jing, Emperor Xia Jing frowned and heard it, obviously disagreeing, which made Du Ruting have expectations, it seems that Emperor Xia Jing has the heart to protect the King of Qin, so he can't say anything more bluntly.
"Luo Jinci, talk about it!"
Emperor Xia Jing pondered for a moment, and handed the conversation to Luo Jinci, Luo Jinci eased his breath and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen only has eight words!" ”
"Oh?"
"Your Majesty, these eight words are... Qin Wang'an, Hexi Ding, Wanxing! ”
With such a concise meaning, Luo Jinci didn't need to say much at all, Emperor Xia Jing nodded slightly, and at the end he looked at Gao Rou again: "Tomorrow is the Spring Festival ceremony, take the opportunity of this country, what do you think?" ”
"The minister thinks..."Gao Rou paused: "The King of Qin is in Weihe County, Your Majesty can immediately issue an edict, let him come, tomorrow's New Year ceremony to sacrifice the ancestors of the emperor, walk with it, this is to collect the heart and return to the ancestors, the second to settle the King of Qin, the third to Hexi will fall, this Hexi army will be decided!" ”
"That's right, it's really good!"
Gao Rou's words were in the heart of Emperor Xia Jing, for a while, Emperor Xia Jing exhaled with laughter, seeing this, Du Ruting understood everything, and dared to love Emperor Xia Jing to invisibly support the old ministers of the East Palace, in order to fight against his own courtiers and old men, and then Emperor Xia Jing proposed to summon and ordered Qin Yuzhi to immediately lead King Qin and a group of Hexi generals to rush to Zhongdu to participate in tomorrow's Spring Festival ceremony.
After the discussion ended, the ministers left the palace one after another, along the way, Du Ruting's mind was chaotic, he saw that Emperor Xia Jingdi's mind was in the old vassal department of the East Palace, if he was so estimated, no matter how Gao Rou fought with him, he could not win, if the Hexi army would enter the dynasty and become a family again, then his power would become smaller and smaller, and it would be uncertain whether the position of the capital would be transposed!
"Master, it's time to get home!"
When the accompanying groom spoke, Du Ruting came back to his senses, looking at the door plaque of his mansion, Du Ruting's mind was troubled, he had three dynasties in his life, three dynasties and three high positions, and now Emperor Xia Jing stood as a new monarch, if he was old and declining at this moment, the sense of disrespect was like the tip of a knife inserting into his heart, which made him unbearable.
Seeing that Du Ruting hadn't gotten out of the car for a long time, the groom couldn't help but wonder: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ugh..."
Du Ruting sighed: "It seems that the old man is really old!" ”
After that, Du Ruting got out of the car and walked slowly towards the house.
Xingying Post Station in Weihe County, when it was evening, Zhongdu flew to pass the book, Qin Yuzhi learned of Emperor Xia Jing's order, and immediately led the King of Qin to rush to Zhongdu.
