Step on a branch

Chapter 182
As the emperor left, in the Golden Luan Hall, the ministers no longer whispered what they had previously kept in their hearts, but actively discussed it.

Under the entanglement of various thoughts, even if some people still think that Marquis Yongning should not be allowed to go out with illness, most of them are persuaded by Huang Taishi's way.

Seeing that the elders were still standing in the hall, they stepped forward one after another.

"The emperor didn't agree, so I have to rely on several people to remonstrate."

"Hurry up and go to the imperial study, you need to strike while the iron is hot."

Grand Master Huang replied vaguely, but did not answer directly, called Fan Taibao, and they left the Golden Luan Hall together.

The sun rises and the sun sets.

The morning light was reflected on the layers of glazed tiles, Grand Master Huang couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Fan Taibao was half a step behind, and said, "This direction is not for the Imperial Study."

Master Huang snorted.

Both of them knew the emperor well.

Having said so much in the hall earlier, it was already persecuting the emperor.

At this moment, chasing him to the imperial study room to force him would be counterproductive.

I have to give the emperor some time to ponder over this reasoning, maybe when he retires tomorrow, the emperor has almost thought about it, and they go there again to give the emperor a step, and this matter is almost done.

There is a degree of relaxation, both soft and hard.

How could Fan Taibao not understand such a simple truth?
The Taibao just said that intentionally to humiliate him.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry," Huang Taishi said, "Don't just make fun of me, don't people of many ages have some fun?"

Fan Taibao stroked his beard and laughed aloud for a while.

After laughing, shaking his head, he sighed: "It's too much fun."

Although the government affairs of the imperial court are boring day after day, as long as it is thriving, there will be endless fun in the boring.

The three of them have different temperaments and different ways of handling things. They cooperate with each other, there is relaxation, softness and hardness, things are not difficult to handle, and they also have some taste.

However, in recent days, that kind of prosperity has stagnated.

If Madam Xu did not come to court, there would be one less actor on the stage, and the balance would change.

Especially when the border war broke out, people couldn't help worrying about it.

Although Fan Taibao and Huang Taishi were in a hurry to talk back, and the old Taishi responded to the imperial court and sang bad faces, but...

But today he was so pale, as if his face had been smeared with three or five layers of white and pulp-like white, even Fan Taibao was taken aback by Huang Taishi.

Of course, Fan Taibao knew very well that someone had to say these words.

Either Huang Taishi, or him, Fan Taibao.

Others came to open their mouths, but they didn't have such a taste, and they couldn't "force" the emperor.

Thinking of this, I am filled with emotion.

Taifu Xu and Marquis Yongning's worrying words were relayed by Taishi Huang. He had never heard them with his own ears, but he could still deeply feel their thoughts now.

No successor.

There are those who can lead the army to fight, and there are some who have a weak tone. In a real battle, they can't be suppressed;

Fan Taibao stopped and looked back at the cornices of the Jinluan Hall.

Really old.

If I could be 20 years younger...

In the imperial study room, the emperor paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

It has been more than 20 years since he ascended the throne, and this is the first time that he was tightly persecuted by so many courtiers in the morning court.

In the past, even Mr. Xu, who had a stubborn temper and used his status as a gentleman to overwhelm him, would not have gone too far in the early court.

If you have any ideas, you can talk about them in the imperial study room after the next court.

Even if I jumped up when I said it, I never...

That's the Golden Temple!
That is the court meeting!

How dare you dare!

This is the first time that the emperor really felt what it means to be "a domineering subject oppressing the king".

"Damn! It's terrible!"

Eunuch Xu watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. At such a time, it would be easy to burn himself by adding fuel to the fire, so he didn't dare to take more actions.

Outside, there was a low voice.

Eunuch Xu thought to himself, could it be that the emperor refused to agree, and Taishi Huang came to the imperial study after him?

That's audacity.

Glancing at the emperor's expression, Eunuch Xu withdrew quietly.

Taishi Huang has to be persuaded to go back.

Taishi Huang is looking for his own death, so don't implicate him who is serving in front of the imperial court.

Unexpectedly, the person standing in the corridor was neither Huang Taishi nor Fan Taibao, but Deng Guoshi.

Eunuch Xu was slightly taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, he waved his hand and said in a low voice: "The national teacher should come later."

"The emperor is angry?" Deng Guoshi asked.

"Yes," Eunuch Xu nodded, "I didn't even bother to change the court clothes."

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and Deng Guoshi showed a weird and malicious smile.

"It doesn't matter," he said, "you just go and report it, and I'll try to persuade the emperor."

Eunuch Xu frowned, seeing that Deng Guoshi was very persistent, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

Inside, the emperor heard that the national teacher was coming, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Let him in."

Eunuch Xu went to lure Deng Guoshi, and said in a low voice: "Guoshi must be careful, we servants don't want to be in bad luck."

Deng Guoshi glanced at him, cursed in his heart, "No Promise", still smiling slightly on his face, and said: "Just don't worry, the poor have their own sense of propriety."

When he came to him, Deng Guoshi held a fly whisk and made a family salute with the emperor.

"Why is the national teacher here?" the emperor asked.

With just one sentence, Deng Guoshi has already discerned the state of the emperor.

As Eunuch Xu said, the emperor was still wearing court clothes.

The face was like the cold winter north wind, the sound was very tight from the cold, and the whole back was tense and very stiff.

He was really very angry.

Deng Guoshi lowered his eyes and said: "The poor Taoist heard about the morning court, thinking that the emperor must be very upset, so he came to advise the emperor."

The emperor looked Deng Guoshi a few times, and said: "Can the Guoshi give advice on how to deploy troops?"

"The poor Taoist only cultivates the Tao, and has never read a few military books, so he can't even call it a war on paper." Deng Guoshi paused, and said, "If you really want to use troops, didn't they recommend Yongning Marquis?"

As soon as the words fell, Eunuch Xu took a breath, so cold that he almost wanted to cover his cheeks.

Look, look!
The emperor just eased a little bit of complexion, and in an instant it was snowed and frozen again!
What is Deng Guoshi doing!
As if unable to see the emperor's face, Deng Guoshi continued: "It's not that you don't agree with Yongninghou's ability, and you also know that he can hold the battle even if he is ill. What really makes you angry is that the military power is in Yongninghou's hands, and Dingguogong under his command.

If anyone is most likely to know the whereabouts of King Wu's posthumous son, it is Lin Xuan.

If the current Duke Ding is not that child, he will join forces with Marquis Yongning to push a puppet out.

If he really is, the Marquis of Yongning will use his troops to help him rise up...

What you are worried about is actually this. "

Straightforwardly, the emperor looked at Deng Guoshi, noncommittal.

Even if he didn't answer, Deng Guoshi knew that when he got the injection, blood beads would ooze out.

He also knew that in his heart, the emperor almost believed that Lin Fan was Zhao Lin's posthumous son.
