Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 351 Chapter [-] ~ Chapter [-] In Person
"The emperor calm down." The servants on duty in the imperial study room fell down on the ground in shock when they saw the emperor was so angry.

Jing Tong hadn't seen the little emperor so furious for a long time, and he was vaguely irritable as if he had used Wushi powder before, and his heart trembled a little.

The emperor at that time was really cruel. Of course, only he and Huo Shijiu in the imperial prison knew about that unknown side.In order to maintain the emperor's reputation, Huo Shijiu even personally killed the emperor's favorite concubine Zhao.Don't say it's the concubine's life that hangs in the balance, it's him, I don't know if one day the emperor will suddenly remember the embarrassing things in the past and kill him to silence him.

Thinking of this, Jing Tong pressed his forehead to the ground, and didn't even dare to move for half a minute.

Seeing the servants in the room kneeling down begging him to appease his anger, the little emperor was both proud and bored.What is proud of him is that he is the Ninth Five-Year Master, and everyone should look up to him.Annoyingly, these people just say "calm down".

Is it that easy to calm down?Can the upper teeth touch the lower teeth?When something happens, no one can give him some good ideas!

Huo Shijiu, who was so loyal to him and for his good, has been kidnapped by a vixen, and wants to leave him!

"Get out of here! Get out!"

The little emperor tyrannically swept the plum vases and incense holders on the table against the wall to the ground.Angrily kicked the copper animal foot heater again.

The little servants felt relieved, and retreated scramblingly.

Jing Tong didn't dare to leave.Taking a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said in a soft voice:
"The emperor calm down. Be careful with the dragon's body!"

"Be careful about the dragon's body?" The little emperor smiled wryly, and sat down on the footsteps beside the Arhat's bed: "Now, who cares about the health of my dragon's body? , everyone will stand and talk without back pain, and don’t try to find a way to share my worries when something happens. Everyone will stand with their shoulders on the shore, and they will not be afraid of the height of the stage when watching a show. But if there is a little bit of mistakes in me, they will take care of them. , all of a sudden stabbed a hornet's nest and swarmed up to accuse me!"

"Your Majesty, although this slave doesn't understand the affairs of the court, but the slave is watching coldly from the sidelines, and the Emperor hasn't missed anything."

"I have endured for many years, and finally cleared up the cancer of the British Duke. Now the government affairs are in disarray, and there are many hidden evils left by the old thief. They are all waiting for me to clean up. Then Lu Tianming is a leader of the army. Gyeonggi Daying has been in charge for many years, and knows a lot of its internal affairs, and now treacherous defected to the Jin Kingdom, Qiu Maogong can't catch him, shouldn't that idiot be punished?"

"It should be punished, the emperor is right."

"But everyone thinks I'm wrong! Even Big Brother Ying speaks for the guilty officials! Now the ministers of the court, whoever has a breath, are probably scolding me for treating the heroes harshly! The common people don't know how to scold me! "

"Your Majesty, those people don't understand anything, you don't have to pay attention to it, just act according to your mind."

Jing Tongsheng has a handsome appearance, he often serves the emperor, and he understands his temper best. He even masters the tone and tone of his reply just right, so following the emperor's intention, he is tempted to vomit out his unhappiness. The little emperor was indeed much more relieved.

"Jing Tong, you don't understand." The little emperor's expression was no longer as irritable as before, as if he could eat people at any time. He stood up and looked at the grid fan protecting the Ming paper with his hands behind his back, and sighed quietly: "I used to think that , to be an emperor means that one person is under one person and over ten thousand people. I can do whatever I want, and all the subjects and people in the world must obey me unconditionally."

When the little emperor was speaking, Jing Tong had quietly arrived at the door and quietly called people in.The little servants filed in lightly, and quietly cleaned up the mess behind the little emperor.

Jing Tong echoed with a smile: "What the emperor said is that the emperor is the son of heaven, that is, the son of heaven. The emperor is the biggest in the world. Naturally, you can do what you say. Whoever you want to die must die."

"But now I find that it's actually not that simple." The little emperor picked up the folder he had dropped, unfolded it and looked at it again.

There are more than 30 ministers who jointly signed the letter above, and the memorial is sincere and sincere, which means that if he does not let the guilty ministers out of prison, they will be bumped to death together in the Golden Luan Hall.

His power has not yet been firmly established, and the remnants of the British public have not been cleaned up. Will he offend so many ministers together?

He asked himself, one person's opinion cannot overwhelm the opinions of so many people, nor can it overwhelm the public opinion of the world.

"Now I understand that to be an emperor is not a matter of one person's decision, but a balance..." Saying this, the little emperor felt desolate in his heart.

Suddenly, a picture appeared in my mind.

It was a summer evening, and in the other courtyard, he was wearing a snow-white waistcoat and light yellow shorts, leaning on the drunkard's chair, while Huo Shijiu was wearing a worn-out Nasha gown, Sitting upright beside him was Jiaowu, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand, fanning him while telling him what "water can carry a boat and also capsize it".

He listened to these truths and looked forward to the day when he would be in power in the future, but he said dejected words: "Brother Ying doesn't need to say these things, and I don't have a day to really deal with state affairs, so why bother? Why don't you take a drink?" The sour plum soup is soothing."

At that time, Huo Jiujiu smiled gently, patted his head, and continued to fan him. He didn't make any swear words, but only said: "Your Majesty, please remember, these will be used .”

Yes, Huo Shijiu kept his promise, which gave him a chance to use those principles.

But he was leaving.

When the little emperor thought that Huo Jiujiu would leave, his heart felt like a needle prick.He knew why he sent Huo Shijiu to prison in the first place, it was because he didn't want him to go.

"Your majesty?" Jing Tong looked at the little emperor looking at Zhezi in a daze, and there were tears in his long and narrow eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down: "Your majesty, please calm down, if you are in a hurry, you are beating a slave." It's okay to let out your breath, but don't trample on the dragon's body! You are like this, the servant looks at... I feel distressed when I look at you."

With a sore nose, Jing Tong cried first.

Holding his mouth shut, the little emperor spat at him: "Monkey boy, you insist on messing with me." Wiping his face with his sleeve, he calmed down a lot.

Turning around, he saw that the room had taken on a completely new look, as if he hadn't caused a mess just now, and his mood improved instantly.

Slowly sat down on the Luohan bed, the little emperor said: "You said, if I followed their wishes and let people out? Would someone say that I was timid and fearful of those ministers? Does that count? Am I too weak to be led by the minister by the nose?"

When Jing Tong heard the little emperor's words, he knew that he must have shaken his mind and wanted to release General Qiu and Huo Shijiu out of prison.

It doesn't matter if General Qiu comes out or not, but Huo Shijiu finally got in, and he hasn't suffered much, so how could he be released.

Jing Tong really wanted to nod, but he was also worried that the little emperor would be angered, and he would really use him to vent his anger in a fit of anger. At that time, the purpose of revenge would not be achieved, but he would make himself feel bad.

Therefore, Jing Tong just thought about it and said: "The emperor is the master, and none of them dare to say that the emperor is wrong."

The little emperor shook his head upon hearing this, and gave a wry smile.

He was really in a mess, he would even discuss these matters with an eunuch.Jing Tong is loyal to him, and he is a lowly slave. He will naturally give priority to what he thinks. It can be said that he dare not go west when he talks about Dong Jingtong. In Jing Tong's pure thinking, how can he understand it? The thoughts of so many old foxes in the court?
The little emperor stood up and patted Jing Tong's head, "You, hurry up and prepare chariots and horses for me, I want to leave the palace in modest clothes."

Jing Tong knew that the little emperor was in a better mood and was very close to him, so he was very happy, so he quickly responded with a smile and retreated.

When I got to the corridor, I looked at the snow in the courtyard, and the smile on my face faded a little.

It seems that Huo Jiujiu is really going to be fine.

%
In the imperial prison at this time, Huo Shijiu was wearing a gray-brown prison uniform, covered with a thick white quilt that had been washed, sitting against the wall with downcast eyes.His bun was a little messy, and the long gray hair on his temples hung down his shoulders, making his face very pale and haggard.

Beside him was Qiu Maogong who still had welts on his cheek.

"Lord Zhongyong, the old man misjudged you in the past." Qiu Maogong's voice was very weak. He had suffered a lot in the prison these days, and the whipping was based on three meals. He could hardly stand it anymore, but It's holding on.

However, compared to him, Zhongyong's PR came in and suffered a lot.

Those people seemed to want to torture him, but they were worried that the emperor would see the wound in the future, so they used needles to torture him.

The slender steel needle pierced into the skin, leaving only a small spot, but it was a piercing pain.

Even worse, the needle pierced into the tender flesh under the nail cover.

Although he didn't get whipped for three meals like him, Mr. Zhongyong suffered a lot after he came in, but he didn't leave any wounds. If he wants to sue in the future, there probably won't be enough evidence.

"What did General Qiu say? My reputation was not very good in the past. No wonder General." Huo Shijiu smiled wryly, and said, "General, take a break for now. I believe the Emperor is just angry for a while, and he will change his mind soon. We went out."

Qiu Maogong shook his head, sighed heavily, and said weakly: "Although I am not a famous minister, I have stood upright all my life. The Duke of England promised me a high official and rich salary. I still think that I am a minister of the Chen family. You must never break your promise, I never imagined that now it is so easy to expect the emperor to achieve, but I ended up like this. I really don’t know how to deal with myself.”

Such a loyal person, but in the end his family was ruined, not only Qiu Maogong was disappointed, Huo Shijiu was also one of them.

"The emperor is nothing more than a small punishment and a big commandment. General Qiu must stick to it. I believe it will be two days."

"Mr. Zhongyong is indeed a hero who is loyal to the emperor. At this moment, he is still speaking for the emperor." Qiu Maogong moved his cold and unconscious legs, his whole body was stabbed with whips, and his face was flushed.It can be seen that it is having a high fever.

Huo Shijiu was really anxious.

"General Qiu, wait a minute, I'm going to find a way to call someone to get you medicine."

"Don't worry about it. After entering here, do you still plan to exit vertically? I'm afraid the whole body won't be left behind."

Just as he was talking, Huo Shijiu had already stood up, and the quilt on his body was also covering Qiu Maogong. After a few steps, he arrived at the prison door. He was holding on to the wooden fence with both hands and was about to speak when he heard a "creak" sound from the iron door ringing.

Immediately, footsteps were heard, but a young jailer came in with a basket.

As the footsteps approached, the hot air from the contents of the basket and the rich aroma of meaty rice filled the nose, causing Huo Jiujiu to unconsciously "grunt" in his stomach.

The little jailer came to him and opened the small door under the cage with a smile: "Yo, Mr. Zhongyong, someone outside honors you. You should use it soon."

Bring out a roast chicken, a large bowl of rice, and a small jug of wine in the basket, and place them on the floor of the prison along the small door, and the jailer will carry the basket out.

Huo Shijiu said: "Who brought the food?"

The jailer stopped, turned around and said with a smile on his face: "Don't ask Mr. Zhongyong, just eat if you have something delicious, drink if you want something good, just enjoy yourself."

Huo Shijiu looked at the roast chicken and knew it wasn't from his family.

If Jiang Wu Neng gave him something, it wouldn't be the roast chicken that he didn't like to eat very much, and it wouldn't be without bedding wound medicine and so on.

Huo Shijiu chuckled lightly. Although he was wearing a prison uniform, his temple hair was disheveled, and his face was pale and ugly, the young jailer shivered a little with his calm and prestige and the alienation he seemed to be born with.

"If you want to stay alive, go and invite a doctor for General Qiu. It is true that the emperor locked General Qiu in when he was angry. But the emperor did not say that he would kill General Qiu. Before the investigation of this matter came to light, if the emperor If you want General Qiu to live for ten years, you have to serve him for ten years. Now that the punishment is severe, people are almost tortured to death. What if the emperor changes his mind? I guess the emperor will not give up at that time. You nine clans will wash your necks and wait. Let it go."

After Huo Shijiu finished speaking, he slowly sat back to his original position, covered his quilt tightly again with Qiu Maogong, touched his hot forehead, and squinted at the person in front of the door: "The relationship between me and the emperor Even if you don’t say it, you know it, if you are smart, do it quickly, this is your way of life.”

When the little jailer heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

This General Chou did something wrong, his family members begged outside for a long time but nothing came in, but as soon as Mr. Zhongyong came in, the people in the whole capital city were blown up. No, the Ninth Prince couldn't stand it, and ordered people to bring wine and food to Mr. Zhongyong.

This person should not be underestimated, even if the tiger is in peace, he can't do too much, at least he should leave a way out for himself.

Thinking of this, the jailer smiled more sincerely, and hurriedly saluted: "Yes, thank you Mr. Zhongyong for your suggestion, I will do it later." After thinking for a while, he said: "I must have run out of charcoal fire, Later, bring some more charcoal for the younger one, and some thick quilts? There is no need for other places in this prison, and the father-in-law can only make do with it for the time being."

Huo Jiujiu said lightly, "Thank you."

"Don't dare, dare not." The jailer saluted and walked out quickly.

Qiu Maogong chuckled, he seemed to want to laugh out loud, but he lacked confidence, coughed and said: "Those idiots, they only know how to flatter, and when they really go to the battlefield, they are all bears!"

"General Qiu, don't get angry. It's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It's human nature to hold high and step down. You don't need to be angry because of these. You are weak now, please save your energy. Your Majesty's anger these days should disappear soon. It will let us out. The general’s family is still waiting for you, and you have to take care of them.”

Qiu Maogong laughed lightly, and pulled the wound on his face, his brows were tightened in pain.Thinking of the people at home, he sighed again.

"Mr. Zhongyong, you are really loyal, and you still trust the emperor at this time. Compared with you, I am full of anger at this moment, but it should not be."

Huo Nineteen smiled and shook his head.

He didn't believe in the emperor, but in Jiang Wu.

On the first night he entered the imperial prison, he was worried that Jiang Wu and Cao Yu would be impulsive and send people to rob the prison.At that time, he would definitely not go with them, otherwise the entire Huo family would be convicted. Wouldn't Jiang Wu spend the rest of his life in upheaval?

But after a night of nervousness, he didn't see the person Jiang Wu and Cao Yu arranged to come, so he understood that she was far more calm than he thought.

If you think about it carefully, what is the way for him to draw salary from the bottom of the pot?The emperor shut him down, it must be the emperor who let him go.

So even though he was tortured with needles by those who had committed crimes before, he told himself while enduring the pain that he needed to engrave these pains in his bones.Do not forget the reason for the pain.

In the future, cut off those stupid thoughts, just for the family.

He was not as desperate as Qiu Maogong, who felt that he couldn't get out.

On the contrary, he trusted in the arrangements and abilities of Jiang Wu and Wen Dajiahun, and he would definitely be able to go out soon.He understood Jiang Wu's temperament, if she didn't have the ability to rescue him, she would probably come to the prison immediately.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the cell, echoing in the long corridor.Huo Shijiu frowned and looked in the direction of the person coming, but first he saw Jing Tong with a delicate face in a light blue robe holding a lantern.

The light in the cell was dim, and even in daylight, you had to have lanterns to illuminate your surroundings.

Huo Shijiu's heart skipped a beat.

Jing Tong is the person close to the little emperor, and there are only a handful of people he can serve with a lantern.

Could it be...

Just as he was thinking, he saw the guessed person wearing a black mink velvet cloak, with his hands in his warm sleeves, walking towards the prison door expressionlessly.

Jing Tong put the lantern in the high place, bowed and stood aside, while the guards brought by the little emperor stood guard in the distance.

"Brother Ying."

Qiu Maogong was drowsy at first, but when he heard the footsteps, he forced himself to open his eyes, and suddenly saw the hem of the shiny sable velvet robe, and heard that strange yet familiar voice. I almost forgot, turned over and remembered: "Your Majesty?!"

Huo Shijiu supported Qiu Maogong, and the two saluted together: "I see the emperor."

"Forget it." The little emperor looked at the damp walls around him, and the snow that came in from the small window that was opened on a high place, sucked his frozen nose, and said, "It's also strangely cold here." of."

Qiu Maogong trembled all over, and he didn't know whether it was because of excitement or the pain of the wound.

Huo Jiujiu said indifferently: "Yes. Your Majesty, please go back. There is a lot of yin in the prison. I can't give you the sickness."

The little emperor smiled and said, "Brother Ying, have you figured it out yet?"

"I figured it out?" Huo Shijiu smiled and said, "I don't know what the emperor is talking about, but I thought it made sense that day."

The little emperor looked at Huo Shijiu's still handsome face despite his pale and distressed face, and his heart was filled with the familiar irritability again.

He suppressed his anger and said: "I didn't know you had such a great ability. You just went to the imperial prison, and after only one night, there was already a lot of noise outside, and some of the common people scolded me, and some of the civil servants in Qingliu said that I treated the heroes harshly." .I really want to know, what do you think?"

"The emperor is the king of a country. Whatever the emperor says, he is what he says. If the emperor says that the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty."

Huo Shijiu's voice was as calm as a spring, without any emotion.

From this, the little emperor could no longer appreciate the persuasiveness and persuasion of the cold and gentle person in the past every time he spoke.

He wants to leave his side and go outside to have fun!
Once this idea popped up, the uncontrollable irritability in my heart was like pouring a spoonful of oil on the flame, and it suddenly rose to a high level.His heart was burning like a hole was about to be burned.

"Qiu Maogong is not doing well. Let's dismiss him for the time being and recuperate at home. You are not allowed to leave the capital without my permission." The little emperor said in a deep voice, "Jing Tong, order the people in the Imperial Hospital to heal Qiu Maogong. I want it in ten days Inside, I saw a alive and kicking Qiu Maogong!"

"Follow the order." Jing Tong bowed in response.

Qiu Maogong kowtowed in a complicated mood, and said with some emotion: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

The little emperor said again: "As for Brother Ying, I will let you out immediately. It just so happens that my sister and Brother Chong have been invited into the palace by Concubine Jin. Later, you will come back with me to have a reunion dinner together." , even if I compensate you."

"The emperor's words are serious." Huo Shijiu responded with lowered eyes, but his heart was filled with worry.Jiang Wu was more than seven months pregnant, and it was a snowy day, so she went to the palace to eat the "Hongmen Banquet", and she didn't know if she could protect herself.

Standing up calmly, Huo Shijiu never showed any anxiety in his heart.

The little emperor looked at Huo Shijiu's neither humble nor overbearing attitude with cold eyes, but he didn't show the gratitude he expected to see, and he didn't see other emotions other than calm from Huo Shijiu's face, and his heart became more and more panicked.

With a flick of his sleeves, he turned around and said, "Let them let them go!"

"Yes." Jing Tong hurriedly ordered.

After a while, the outside was full of people.

Apparently, the guards in charge of the prison and the leaders of Jin Yiwei just got the news of the emperor's visit, and hurriedly gathered to salute.

The little emperor was holding his breath, but when he got outside, he changed his anger just now, and gently ordered Jing Tong to arrange for someone to take General Qiu home, and then smiled and invited Huo Shijiu to ride in a carriage with him.

Sweat broke out on the forehead of the little prison guard who had just been frightened by Huo Jiujiu's point.

Wasn't it just as Duke Zhongyong said, the emperor really changed his mind, but fortunately he was still polite when he spoke to Duke Zhongyong just now, otherwise, once the evil star came out, it wouldn't be a matter of killing him with a single word?Maybe he didn't need to say anything, just gestured and his life would be in danger.

When the jailer struggled, someone gave him a hand.

He turned his head to look, and saw that it was the young man who just delivered wine and food to Mr. Zhongyong.
