The super life extension system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 178 Who Knows the Emperor's Heart

"Bold Guo Jia, this bastard, I was just testing him, yet he dared to embarrass me. Presumptuous! Presumptuous!..."

After the morning court on the second day, in the side hall where only Han Lingdi and Jian Shuo were alone, Han Lingdi was furious and threw the memorials on the table everywhere, in a mess.

But Jian Shuo just knelt quietly on the ground, nodding his head to the ground, bearing the pain from the debris hitting his face, and didn't dare to make any sound.

call! ……call! ... cough cough! ...

For a while, Emperor Han Ling seemed tired, panting heavily, and sat on the hall to rest.

But Jian Shuo was still kneeling motionless.

Finally, Emperor Han Ling's breath gradually eased, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jian Shuo who was kneeling below, and when his face moved, he remembered something.

"Jian Shuo, do you think I'm heartless?"

"I dare not!" Jian Shuo replied tremblingly, not even daring to raise his head.

"Raise your head and answer!" Han Lingdi ordered.

"Yes!" Jian Shuo slowly raised his head, still not daring to look directly at Han Lingdi.

On the contrary, Emperor Han Ling watched Jian Shuo's eyes carefully for a long time, and it took him a long time to let out a breath and relax.

I really don't know whether he is satisfied that he didn't see what he didn't want to see, or he was satisfied that he saw what he wanted to see!

"I treat Guo Jia like this, do you really think I'm ruthless?" Han Lingdi asked this question again.

But this time, Emperor Han Ling could see Jian Shuo's eyes, and any changes in his eyes were in the eyes of Emperor Han Ling.

"..." Jian Shuo hesitated, not knowing whether he was phrasing or covering up something.

"Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, in charge of the world, it is kindness to give Guo Jia a lifeline. How could this slave feel that His Majesty is ruthless?"

Jian Shuo's answer was reasonable, at least Han Lingdi didn't find anything.

"Then tell me, why did Guo Jia fight against me?" Han Lingdi narrowed his eyes.

But Jian Shuo still didn't dare to relax in the slightest. After thinking for a while, Jian Shuo dared to answer: "Against? Guo Jia is just to recommend that Lu Bu in Bingzhou as a soldier, so why do you oppose His Majesty?"

"Hmph! Don't tell me that you didn't see it. Guo Jia wanted to recommend Lu Bu on the surface, but he made a big deal about Wang Fen secretly attacking him. Now that everyone in Luoyang knows about it, even if I don't take some countermeasures I can't do it anymore. Isn't it embarrassing me if I ask you to fight Wang Fen clearly?"

"This..." Jian Shuo suddenly understood, as if he really understood what Han Lingdi said.

"Then why did Your Majesty agree to Guo Jia's request and promote Lu Bu to Bingzhou Bing Cao?" Jian Shuo asked.

"Hmph! People from Yuan's family, Zhang Rang's people, and Kong Rong all came together to help out. General Cheqi didn't object, Zhang Wen and other old foxes didn't speak. Even the royalists took it for granted. Can I not agree? ?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Han Ling seemed to feel a little ashamed, and quickly added: "However, it is said that this Lu Bu is extremely brave, and I am not without ideas. Go down and inquire carefully!"

"Yes!" Jian Shuo agreed.

"Actually, I don't think Guo Jia is against His Majesty." Jian Shuo said suddenly.

"Oh, why?" Han Lingdi asked.

"Your Majesty, think about it, who is Guo Jia? If you have a grudge, you must avenge it overnight. He is lawless and dares to do anything. If Wang Fen wants to kill him, he will naturally fight back. Maybe he is not trying to embarrass His Majesty, but purely to deal with it." Where is Wang Fen!"

"Hmm." Han Lingdi was thoughtful, but there was nothing wrong with what Jian Shuo said.

After a while, Emperor Han Ling's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Jian Shuo with burning eyes: "Jian Shuo, you are not deliberately partial to Guo Jia because you have a good personal relationship with Guo Jia."

As soon as these words came out, Jian Shuo, who was originally quite calm, trembled uncontrollably as if he had fallen into a cave of ice, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Jian Shuo kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "Your life is yours, and death is your ghost. I have met Guo Jia a few times, and they all work for His Majesty. I have absolutely no personal relationship! Please, Your Majesty." Mingjian!"

However, Emperor Han Ling was unmoved, until Jian Shuo's forehead was bleeding, and he suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha!...Jian Shuo, I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously! Don't take it seriously!"

Han Lingdi personally came down and helped Jian Shuo up: "You have been with me for almost 20 years since you entered the palace. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? You won't take the joke just now, will you?"

"Slave dare not!" Jian Shuo forced a smile to respond to Han Lingdi, but it was uglier than crying.

joke?He was sure that as long as he answered a wrong sentence just now, he would definitely not be able to survive!

20 years?But the longer the time, the more Jian Shuo was afraid of Han Lingdi.Especially after Guo Jia was kicked out of Luoyang, Jian Shuo felt more and more that the Han Lingdi was moody and volatile, and became more and more terrifying!
"By the way, what do you think of He Miao, do I want him to become a real general?"

"He Miao, I heard that he abides by his duty and only obeys His Majesty's orders, so he should be a suitable candidate!" Jian Shuo replied cautiously.

Han Lingdi's question was too jumpy, and Jian Shuo couldn't react for a while, so he could only prevaricate it.

"By the way, he didn't support Guo Jia's idea this morning, but acted according to His Majesty's wink. It's really good!"

"Not bad? Humph!"

Han Lingdi let out a cold snort casually, but Jian Shuo immediately broke out in a cold sweat and his face turned pale. Could it be that he made a mistake?

"Guo Jia once saved He Miao's life in Shilin Mountain, but he didn't mean to repay his kindness at all. When Guo Jia was in trouble, he didn't show anything. He was a wolf-hearted dog, no different from He Jin!"

Jian Shuo was sweating profusely, his power was unpredictable.It turned out that He Miao's silence could make Han Lingdi think so much.

"Also, on the surface, He Miao stays at home, but he secretly colludes with the nobles, and what he does and says is really the same as the original He Jin. Why doesn't he think about who made him a court official, you bastard!" The more Han Lingdi spoke, the angrier he became, and he cursed loudly.

Jian Shuo, who was kneeling under the great majesty, did not move at all, but there was a huge wave in his heart.

He Miao secretly colluded with the nobles?How did Emperor Han Ling, who never left his home, know these things that he didn't know?

Think carefully!

I thought that I was the last power that His Majesty relied on, but it turned out that there was a power that I didn't even know existed beside His Majesty.So, does His Majesty trust him in his heart?
"Your Majesty, calm down, isn't there still Empress He in the He family? She has taken care of His Majesty for many years, and she is extremely caring!"

"Caring, I'm afraid she is only caring for her son, not for me. When I die, I'm afraid she won't even cry. I..."

Having said this, Emperor Han Ling suddenly realized that he had lost his words, his voice froze, and he looked at Jian Shuo.

But he found that he was sorting out the memorials thrown by Emperor Han Ling on the ground like no one else was there, as if he didn't hear anything.

Old fox, Han Lingdi smiled with satisfaction!
It's not for nothing that Jian Shuo can live for so many years, he knows what to listen to and what not to listen to!

The matter of the emperor and his concubines is the emperor's family matter, even the eunuch who has been with him for 20 years should not know about it.

"Jian Shuo, let's go down, I'm a little tired." Han Lingdi narrowed his eyes and stopped moving.

"Yes!"

clatter!clatter!clatter! ...

Then there was a burst of footsteps that changed from loud to small, until the sound disappeared completely, Emperor Han Ling suddenly opened his eyes.

cough!cough!cough cough! ...

Coughing violently, Emperor Han Ling let go of the handkerchief on his mouth, only to find that the handkerchief was covered with shocking blood.

Coughing up blood, ordinary emperors might be afraid of it, but Han Lingdi seemed to be used to it.

"Hahaha!...Ahem!..."

With a wry smile mixed with a cough, Emperor Han Ling's thin body was like duckweed in a big wave, which seemed to be knocked over at any time; it was also like a weak candle flickering in the wind, which seemed to be extinguished by the strong wind at any time.

Who would have thought that Emperor Han Ling, who was just 26 years old and in the best years of his life, would have become so ill?

"Haha!...cough cough!..." He spat out another mouthful of blood, and Han Lingdi showed unwillingness and anger on his face.

"Why? Why? Cough... I have a body for revenge, but I don't have a good body. Now I just work hard for half a day, and I can't stand it anymore. God is not fair!"

"Ahem!... Now, I don't have enough time to change the world and become a wise king through the ages. I just want to create a good environment for my son Liu Xie."

"Ahem!... I don't want him to be as helpless as I am when he is born, and be coerced by the nobles. But why doesn't God even give me this opportunity?"

"Ahem!...Forget it, let me retain some of my dignity as an emperor, and get some resources for Xie'er. Wang Fen, pay a three-month salary! Guo Jia, don't let me down, I'm waiting for you Back to Luoyang!"

cough cough...

Emperor Han Ling never imagined that Jian Shuo, who had gone far away in his heart, was eavesdropping outside the door.

This was the first time he had the idea of ​​eavesdropping, but what he overheard this time, Jian Shuo would never forget for the rest of his life.

Emperor Han Ling's body is already failing, and he can't last for a few years.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has already selected his successor, Liu Xie, who was born not long ago.

If any one is released, it will be enough to cause a sensation in the court and shock the whole country.
