Will Ming

Chapter 680

Although the meaning of Li's gossip was not too obvious, but besides Pei Xingyan who was a little straight-minded, how could anyone who followed behind him not understand?Especially those old ministers in Li Yuan's court looked at each other, and all of them stopped their eyes on Xiao for a while.

Speaking of which, among the many former officials of Li Yuan present, only Xiao was a little different.

Although Pei Ji, Liu Zhenghui, and Yu Shinan didn't open the city gates to welcome King Yan, and they didn't show their obedience on the day King Yan entered the city, they were just putting on a show, and they couldn't be said to be ungrateful.Li Xian went to invite them personally to give them this step.

They will not bear the infamy of the seller, and Li Xian has a good reputation as a virtuous corporal.Everyone takes what they need, which is something everyone knows well.

But Xiao was not, he was someone who stood up against King Yan from the very beginning.When Li Yuan was in power, he was even a representative of the anti-Yan faction in the court.Everyone knew that he was on the side of King Qin Li Shimin. Now that King Yan was in power, King Qin Li Shimin was a traitor, so his situation was naturally extremely embarrassing.

And beyond everyone's expectations, Li Xian also visited the Xiao Mansion in person.

So those who knew about this had to praise King Yan for his kindness.

But today, King Yan's words clearly meant something.

Xiao's face was a bit ugly, and he wanted to leave in a hurry, but then he thought that he would definitely be inferior, and he would give King Yan an excuse to clean him up, which would make him unreasonable.If he does, public opinion will not do him any favors.The reason why he returned to the court was to not give Li Xian an excuse to get rid of him.As long as he is still in the court, as long as he does everything right, it will not be so easy for Li Xian to get rid of him.

After all, he was in a high position, if he was killed for no reason, then all the former officials would be panicked, this is by no means what Li Xian would like to see.

"The Daming Palace must be built before the end of the year."

Li Xian took a deep breath, glanced around and said with some emotion: "In a few days, I will have to use troops against Dou Jiande. If everything goes well, Daming Palace will be completed a few years ago. A congratulatory gift."

"Militarism!"

Just at this time, a small but extremely ear-piercing voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.Because everyone was listening to Li Xian's words, the scene was extremely quiet, so although these four words were not loud, everyone could easily hear them clearly.As soon as these four words were uttered, the faces of everyone present immediately changed.

Li Xian turned his head to look slightly, and found that everyone focused their eyes on a person wearing a fourth-grade purple official uniform.

This person is not very old, but his beard is quite thick.If he hadn't been wearing a suit of civilian attire, everyone would have thought he was a general leading the army at first glance.

Wei Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

When Li Xian saw him, he couldn't help thinking of how Wei Zheng survived in Li Shimin's hands.So Li Xian couldn't help but smile, the corners of his mouth raised slightly with a bit of coldness.

"Bold!"

Chen Guogong Xiong Kuohai, Bao Guogong Pei Xingyan, Zhao Guogong Luo Shixin, An Guogong Chen Que'er roared almost at the same time, and the green-clothed swordsman who followed Li Xian even put his hand on the handle of the knife behind his back , no one doubted that Wei Zheng would be divided into dozens of pieces with just one word from Li Xian.

"Wei Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Li Xian looked at the guy who actually looked a little nervous, but pretended to be calm with some fear in his eyes, walked over slowly, stopped about one meter away from Wei Zheng, looked into Wei Zheng's eyes and asked, "Did you just now?" Say lonely?"

Wei Zheng waited for this opportunity for a long time. Although he was apprehensive and fearful, he was more excited and nervous.He knew that he had made a big bet this time, if the King of Yan didn't give him a chance to speak, then he might become a new target of the King of Yan, and killing him would be too easy for the King of Yan.

"Exactly!"

He plucked up his courage and said, "It's about you, Your Highness!"

He was waiting for Li Xian's next sentence, as long as Li Xian asked him why he said that, he would be able to say all the words he had thought about, which he had been thinking about for many days.For the current king of Yan, these words are all beneficial words.He didn't really think that King Yan was a militaristic type, but that he needed such a special way of expressing himself.

"Oh……"

Li Xian didn't ask him as Wei Zheng expected, but just gave a light oh and then ordered: "Pull out and slap your mouth for twenty, if your mouth hasn't been smashed, then go to General Tiance's mansion to confront him." Say what you want to say, if your mouth is rotten, then you can write a report and hand it over. If what you say or what you write can’t make you feel useful to you, then you can resign gone."

Li Xian waved his hand indifferently, then turned his head and continued to walk out.

a group of people dumbfounded

……

……

The buildings in the northeast corner of the imperial city are not very eye-catching, but this place used to be the living place of Queen Dou.Now there is no queen here, but there is always an overlord living here.

Speaking of the three characters of Taishanghuang, it seems that they have not been a good title since ancient times.

The queen chose to live here because it was clean enough.It is also close to the Prince's East Palace, and Prince Li Jiancheng can come to see her at any time.But one of Dou's most disappointing things was that Li Jiancheng rarely came here to see her since he was named the crown prince.

Li Yuan stood by the desk, staring at a piece of blank rice paper on the desk in a daze.He was used to having a thick stack of memorials on the table, and now there was nothing else on the table except pen, ink and paper, which made him feel a little empty and uncomfortable.

Originally, he planned to write a few words to pass the time, but he just stood there looking at the blank rice paper for half an hour, but he still hadn't decided what to write or what to write...

After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the brush and dipped the inkstone inside the inkstone, and then wrote two big characters in one stroke.It seems that the pen is a dragon and a snake, but it has a bit of awe-inspiring charm.

punctuation

After writing these two words, Li Yuan was stunned. He smiled wryly and threw the brush on the ground.Then he grabbed the rice paper and frantically tore it into pieces.Shredded papers flew like broken butterflies all over the sky... When the shredded papers were all gone, he sat down on the chair, as if all the strength in his body was taken away by those two words in an instant.

"I……"

He murmured a word, and his eyes were full of sadness and helplessness.

He didn't know how long he sat like this, but he slowly got up and walked outside.Lie down on the bed where Queen Dou Shi was frightened to death, staring blankly at it with empty eyes.In fact, there was nothing in his line of sight, only a blank space.Just as his mind was blank, he lay here like a piece of dead wood.

The lunch meal was still on the low table, and it was completely cold.Because he lost his temper and scolded the waiter out, no one dared to come in and take away the food.The weather is hot in July, and within half a day there is a bad smell in the house.

Li Yuan rubbed his fingers lightly on the bed, and suddenly remembered that the queen was lying here when she died, her eyes were wide open, full of unwillingness, anger and fear, and he felt even more sad.

"Perhaps you didn't expect that I have fallen to this level... When you threw away the second child, you said that I would not end well, but now it seems that you have answered your words... Queen, also I don’t know if you’re still blaming me down here.”

"But it doesn't matter if you blame me, maybe I will go down to find you in a short time."

After saying these two words to himself, he fell into silence again.

When the sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, Ni Huatian, the newly transferred eunuch from the dormitory, carefully leaned in from the outside and looked a little nervous.He first glanced at the Supreme Emperor lying on the bed who seemed to be asleep, then looked at the untouched food on the short table, and then sighed.He waved after he entered, and several eunuchs came in with their heads down to put down the new meals and take away the noon meals.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

"His Majesty?"

Li Yuan opened his eyes abruptly, and his eyes lit up after hearing the two words Ni Huatian said.He turned his head to look at Ni Huatian, and the joy in his eyes was soon replaced by anger.

"Are you mocking me?"

He looked into Ni Huatian's eyes and asked.

"How dare a servant girl?"

Ni Huatian bowed his head in fear.

Li Yuan, who wanted to get angry, suddenly sighed again, waved his hands and said: "Forget it... I am angry with you, you are just a eunuch... Take the food away, I won't eat it, just look at it." nausea."

"Your Majesty...you always have to eat. You have strength after eating, and you can do things when you have strength."

"Do things? What else can I do besides lying here in a daze?"

Li Yuan laughed at himself and said, but soon, his eyes became bright again, he stood up abruptly and sat up straight, looking at Ni Huatian in disbelief.

"Can you say that again?!"

He said in a hasty tone.

"Your Majesty is saying that as long as Your Majesty is doing well, people outside will have confidence in doing things... Although Your Majesty lives here now, His Majesty has never lacked loyal courtiers."

"Who?"

Li Yuan asked in a low voice: "Who told you to say this to me!"

"The left servant of Shangshu shot Lord Xiao and said, please be wronged for a few more days, Your Majesty."
