Chapter 217 A Pot of Cold Water

Eunuch Xu stood beside the emperor, the back of his neck feeling cold.

Among so many people in the Golden Luan Hall, only he really knows what the emperor thinks.

Why is the emperor so out of place, why is he so unhappy?
He was clear.

Knowing that, Eunuch Xu couldn't help but be terrified.

The more civil and military ministers boasted, the more afraid he became, so afraid that he wished he could retreat immediately and let the emperor sulk in the imperial study. It was better for him to serve him carefully than to stand here and suffer on both sides.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't let him suffer for too long.

Maybe he couldn't listen anymore, so the emperor waved his hand and retreated.

The voice of jumping up and down stopped instantly, and they all lined up to send the emperor off.

The emperor also knew that his face was not right, so he took a deep breath to force himself to calm down for three minutes.

"Great victory ahead, all your lords are overjoyed, and I am the same," standing in the hall, the emperor said coldly, "It's just that the war is not over yet, how will we choose after Xiliang, are you sure that Nanshu will not get involved? There is no answer. It is too early to be happy now! The army has not yet returned to Beijing, and all parties should not relax their vigilance!"

These words, like a basin of cold water, are poured head-on.

But also very reasonable.

Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted, saying "follow the emperor's instruction".

The emperor strode out of the Golden Luan Hall, followed by the guard of honor, and when the chamber was far away, the atmosphere in the hall eased up a bit.

Of course, it wasn't like before, wishing to open the wine cellar and hold a celebration banquet immediately, but instead, you talked about the follow-up arrangements.

Grand Master Huang didn't participate, he walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

When stepping out of the main hall, the morning sun accompanied the morning sun, illuminating the entire square, and also reflected on the layers of glazed tiles, shining light, falling into Huang Taishi's eyes.

Involuntarily, the old master narrowed his eyes.

Then, he turned his head to look in the direction the emperor left.

The emperor left early and couldn't see anything, but the old grand master didn't look back, he repeatedly chewed the emperor's last words in his heart.

The principle is such a principle.

It's just that it's not appropriate, and the emperor shouldn't sing about this black face.

Previously, the most suitable and fluent method should be someone standing up to ask for credit for the Marquis of Yongning, Ding Guogong and others. The emperor arranged the rewards and sent them to the various government offices after retreating from the court, and then an old minister stood up and did the dirty work. , Your Majesty will smooth things over, rewards will be rewarded, follow-up caution also needs to be cautious...

However, this is the smoothest agenda, which can boost morale and at the same time prevent everyone from going awry due to blind optimism. No one has come out to be a pioneer.

Of course, he, Taishi Huang, is not a fake style that he just brags and does not practice, but today, the pioneer official is not suitable for him.

Huang Yi also made military achievements, Huang Taishi came out to ask for merit, this is too...

How thick-skinned!

Each performs his own duties and does his own thing.

What suits him today is the black face, he will be the one who destroys the atmosphere.

pity……

Footsteps came from behind.

Taishi Huang glanced at the person who came, it was Fan Taibao.

He smiled, and said in a low voice: "Look, what happened, the emperor had to remind everyone..."

Fan Taibao answered vaguely.

After walking a few steps further, Taishi Huang said again: "I'm sure I can't open my mouth, why are you also a saw-mouthed gourd?"

Fan Taibao glanced at Huang Taishi, smiled and said nothing.

He is not stupid.

Grand Master Huang could see the abnormal expression on the emperor's face, but couldn't he, Fan, see it?
He was not only thinking about the emperor, he was also thinking about Grand Master Huang.

After all, he was standing next to Taishi Huang, and the friendship between the two of them has been going on for decades, so there are many things that don't need to be talked about.

If another day, Grand Master Huang would see his thinking, but today, the old Grand Master is not feeling well, and his energy is not as good as before, he only cares about the east but not the west, so he ignores it.

Asking for credit on the spot seemed thoughtful, but the emperor's emotions were all on his face.

If the emperor is not allowed to say the important words, all the ministers, those who are close or far away, will find out the situation.

Then how to explain the emperor's unusual emotions at the time of the great victory?
If you can't explain it clearly, you can't explain it. It will only confuse people's hearts for no reason.

When the army is fighting outside, the most taboo thing in the court is their own inexplicable chaos.

Therefore, Fan Taibao did not stand up.

After thinking for a while, he deliberately said: "Then I should go to the Imperial Study Room to ask for credit now?"

"Farewell," Taishi Huang listened to his tone, and now he had figured it out, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Go now, isn't the emperor's point mentioned just now for nothing?"

The timing is different, and a miss is a miss.

The black face drama was sung, and the early morning was also gone. The same thing had a different effect.

That being the case, knowing what the emperor is holding back, why let Fan Taibao get into trouble?

"Wait for the emperor to take a moment," Taishi Huang said with a low voice, "Let the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rituals come out with a booklet, and walk through the Thousand Steps Corridor to formally ask for merit. The rewards will be sent to various prefectures, and it will be more lively, and it will also be an explanation to the common people."

Fan Taibao stroked his beard and agreed.

The two did not continue to talk about this matter, but only discussed possible changes in the follow-up war.

As for the emperor's emotions, that kind of uneasiness and fear, it definitely did not come from the so-called "can't wait to relax our vigilance".

Both of them knew it, it was just tacit understanding.

As they got older, they had to slow down their pace. When the two of them reached the Thousand Steps Corridor, the yamen on the left and right were extremely lively.

The emperor's teachings belong to the teachings, and the joy brought by the great victory cannot be restrained.

Especially those officials who can't be listed in the court, they only know that the border sent the military report of the great victory back to Beijing today, but they don't know what kind of victory they fought, and they all have long necks waiting for the courtiers to come back and talk about it .

I really heard it, the blood was surging and I couldn't stop it.

Especially the surprise attack, which fell from the sky, is more exciting than Dr. Tea's storytelling.

Yes.

When the news spreads and the tea doctors edit, edit, polish, isn't that even more exciting?
In particular, the few names in this great victory, not to mention that everyone is familiar with them, at least they all recognize them, and they bowed their hands and saluted.

Lord Hou, General Feng and the others visited here every day.

As a bodyguard in front of the imperial court, Mr. Huang would occasionally come to Qianbu Corridor.

Not to mention Duke Ding, not long ago, he was the commander of the Chiyiwei, working in the yamen not far away.

Didn't you see those people in the Chiyiwei yamen, have their backs straightened today?

Yan You Yourong.

Even the elders who were bored by the tree were all happy.

so good.

The son inherits the father's business.

Annoy the Xiliang Tartars!

Huang Taishi listened and walked while passing by the military office, just in time to find Qin Zhi's figure.

"Why are you here?" Grand Master Huang greeted.

Hearing the sound, Qin Zhi hurried forward and said: "I heard that the army report has arrived in Beijing, come to the Yamen to ask."

To be specific, before Qin Zhi asked, he had already learned a lot about one sentence and one sentence in the west.

A beautiful victory.

She was too pretty, which made him feel uneasy involuntarily.

This is really true, you can do whatever you want to stimulate the emperor!
Grand Master Huang looked at Qin Zhi and wondered, "Old Hou Ye won a big victory, why are you so sad?"

The emperor is strange, and Qin Zhi is also strange.

　I have written down all the suggestions from the side story, and I will see what is suitable for writing this time.

　　I didn't write it this time, and there should be some after the end.
