majestic tiger

Chapter 398
After a while, the father seemed to have made up his mind, and finally opened his heart, and chatted with his wife and daughter about the process of meeting the emperor in detail.

The process of facing the saint this time was not smooth, and he was still placed in the side hall.

As a result, the waiting time was very long, and the time to actually see the emperor was only as short as half a stick of incense.

This made my father very depressed. The emperor didn't show much interest in a general who came back from thousands of miles and wanted to report to him the situation of the border military.

My father felt that the emperor should not be like this. There is no such thing as trivial matters in border defense. Regardless of whether the monarch or his ministers should take it very seriously.

If it were the first emperor, it would be absolutely impossible for him to wait for so many days, and he would be summoned to the palace on the day he returns.

Then call the relevant ministers together to discuss the border military aircraft.

But today the emperor only invited him to face the saint in his bedroom, and he was the only one.

It is completely different from what the first emperor did, and it really cannot be compared with the first emperor.

If meeting him in the emperor's bedroom, although his father is depressed, he can still tolerate it. After all, as a subject, he should abide by the way of a monarch and his ministers. Where the emperor wants to summon him and for how long is the emperor's freedom.

But what happened next, my father really didn't dare to say anything, but he dared to be angry.

Father reported to the emperor the military situation at the border, and talked about the changes of the Xirong people.

At first he wanted to report the specific situation to the emperor in detail, but he only spoke at the beginning, and the emperor yawned.

He bowed his body and raised his head slightly to look at the emperor, only to see that the emperor looked tired and his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he wanted to fall asleep.

Father had been brewing for a long time, choosing every word carefully, repeating the words many times in his heart, and at this moment, it suddenly felt like a stone stuck in his throat.

And the high interest was extinguished in an instant.

What chilled him even more was the emperor's casual words.

"Ai Qing, I am very relieved to have you in the border town. You can report the important content to me without going into details."

The meaning of this is obvious, just tell him to talk less, I don't have much time to spend with you.

It is even more uncomfortable for him than the sentence that there is something to play, and nothing to retreat from the court.

But the sacred order was hard to disobey, so he had to follow the emperor's will, cut off most of the content of the report to the emperor, and only chose the important essence that could not be compressed any more, and reported it to the emperor.

The time before and after was less than half a cup of tea. After he finished the report, he looked up at the emperor, wanting to listen to the emperor's instructions.

But he found that the emperor was already leaning on the chair, with his eyes closed, without any reaction.

Appears to be asleep?
He had no choice but to raise his voice, and tentatively reported: "Qizou Your Majesty, I have already focused on reporting the situation of the Xirong people's changes, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to clarify."

Sure enough, the emperor did not respond.

Eunuch Pan, the eunuch who was still waiting behind the emperor, saw this situation and reminded the emperor aloud.

The emperor woke up suddenly and looked at him blankly.

After waiting for a few breaths, the emperor came back to his senses, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Ai Qing, I'm not feeling well recently, and I'm always sleepy."

"I'm terrified, the emperor's dragon body is still good?" He had to ask about the emperor's physical condition.

My heart has become cold.

When he entered the palace, he happened to meet the Minister of Rituals who was in charge of birthday celebrations for the emperor and concubines in the harem, and talked with him about the emperor celebrating the birthday of his favorite concubine Huifei yesterday.

He also said that the emperor was in good spirits yesterday, and after the banquet, he invited people from the music workshop into the palace to sing and dance with Concubine Hui...

He also sighed to him about this, the concubine Hui was deeply favored, and such treatment was rare in the harem.Even the queen's birthday was not valued by the emperor like this.

Therefore, at the moment when he heard the emperor perfunctory him, one can imagine the pain in his heart.

At this time, the Emperor Biansheng still said with a dry smile: "I have been working hard all day, and I have been a little bit powerless recently."

Hearing Yunxia here, she really wanted to make a fuss. Isn't this emperor going too far?
Military affairs are not as important as a favorite concubine's birthday, what kind of logic is this?The emperor can no longer be described as absurd, properly speaking, it should be fatuous.

Yunxia even had the urge to point at the emperor and scold him severely.

Look at the things he did, it's so unbearable for my uncle, and even my aunt can't bear it.

"Father, you," Yunxia opened her mouth to persuade her father that it's not worth being angry for this stupid king, but after only saying these two words, she found that she couldn't continue.

Could she still scold this stupid king in front of her father?This can only make the father who abides by the way of the monarch and his ministers even more angry.

Moreover, the mother had already gently shook her head at her, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Yes, in the present moment, the imperial power is greater than the sky, can the father as a courtier and himself as a grassroots person be reversed?
So she had to change the subject: "Next, what do you say?"

Father then went on to talk.

He straightened his face, bowed and said to the emperor: "I implore the emperor to take care of the dragon's body. The health of the emperor's dragon body is the blessing of the community; the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, it is the blessing of the court; the border security is the blessing of the country."

My father said the last sentence very seriously, just to remind the emperor that the matter I came to report is a national event that concerns the peace of the border.

Yunxia couldn't help applauding her father in her heart, her words were impeccable, if she didn't believe it, she couldn't send out the emperor.

"Father, you are so right. Being neither humble nor overbearing can be regarded as remonstrance. What does the emperor say?"

The father's eyes dimmed, and his face sank.

He recalled the situation at that time and what the emperor said, and felt that his body fell into the ice hole again and froze.

It turned out that as soon as his words fell, the emperor became angry.

"What does General Li mean by this? I understand the truth, do I still need you to teach me? Presumptuous, kneel down!"

The king wants his ministers to kneel, and the ministers have to kneel.The father immediately knelt down and apologized.

"Your Majesty was terrified and angered, I implore Your Majesty to forgive me for my crime."

The emperor seemed to be still angry, and he didn't call him up, but let him continue to kneel and listen to his lecture.

Then the emperor said a lot, to the effect that he handed over the responsibility of guarding the border to his father, and his father should bear it all, in order to imitate me and so on.

"Father, isn't this emperor too funny? The country belongs to him, but the responsibility of guarding the country has become yours, so he has no responsibility?"

The mother who had been silent all this time opened her mouth: "Xia'er, he wants to be a hand-off shopkeeper. The responsibility is on your father, but the credit is on him. If the border is captured by the Xirong people, your father will have to die to apologize.

This is what my mother is most angry with and can't tolerate. "

Yunxia finally understood why her mother's face was as dark as ink when she came out just now.

"You two, don't talk nonsense. In fact, when he said that, I was a little moved. The emperor has extreme trust in me! As a general guarding the border, it is my duty to protect the peace of the border. I Vow to coexist with the border.

If the border gate is lost, I will take the initiative to bear all the responsibilities without the emperor's crimes and punishments! "

My father said eloquently, with a look of resignation on his resolute face.

At that moment, as a civilian officer trained in the army, Yunxia could fully understand her father and was deeply proud of him.

What my father showed was a kind of generosity of courage and ambition to protect the family and the country.From him, we can see his unwavering determination, that is: let the dragon city flying generals stay, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain!
