There was a pause in the air.
Premier Wei got out of the carriage and walked straight into the palace gate. When passing by Jin Taifu's side, his steps stopped deliberately.
Jin Taifu was on guard, but seeing that Prime Minister Wei didn't say a word more, he was shaking his heart.
What is prime minister Wei doing?
A group of courtiers gathered around Jin Taifu one after another, "Jin Taifu, what just happened?"
"Nothing, don't panic!" Jin Taifu's voice was low.
His series of stratagems are one by one, and the plan is so perfect that it is impossible to find out anything.
The crowd nodded.
The eunuch led them into the imperial study.
A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine came, and many courtiers speculated whether the old emperor was really suffering from Qi disease last night.
Jin Taifu entered the imperial study and coughed all the time.
The old emperor raised his eyes, which were bright and uncertain. "Jin Taifu, your body looks really bad."
Jin Taifu was shocked. He bowed back and said, "I've been ill for a few days, but I'm much better. Thank you for your concern."
"Come on, please come to the royal doctor!" The old emperor said.
Jin Taifu's heart and mouth stagnated.
He pretended to be ill. If he called the imperial doctor to treat him, wouldn't he have to help him?
Looking up at the old emperor, he wanted to refuse. However, he changed his mind when he looked at the old emperor with a pair of cool and deep eyes.
Just think about what he said. If the royal doctor told him that there was no problem, he said that he was fine, but he had a bad throat.
The court judge soon came to the imperial study to help Jin Taifu diagnose his pulse.
After the diagnosis in the hospital, Jin Taifu's heart almost stopped when he was about to tell his illness.
"How?" Asked the old emperor.
The court judge bowed and said, "emperor, Jin Taifu's body is weak and his liver is full of fire..."
Jin Taifu's heart sank with the verdict.
What's the matter? How could he be so sick?!
Every time the court judge said one more word, the old emperor's eyebrows wrinkled tightly.
"Why is Jin Taifu so sick?"
Jin Taifu breathed a sigh, "I've been closed these days. It's because I'm really sick."
The old emperor looked down and pondered for a moment, "if so, how about Jin Taifu returning home?"
Boom——
A group of courtiers' minds seemed to explode a few thunders. They were petrified in an instant. They just stood there, looking at the old emperor.
"Emperor, although I'm ill, I won't go back to my hometown!" Jin Taifu's tone was urgent.
No wonder that the old emperor just announced the imperial doctor. It was too much to wait for him here!
Jin Taifu's voice can fall, several people help him intercede, but some people choose to be neutral.
If the title of Jin Taifu was really removed, and they followed him again, it would really be asking for trouble.
The old emperor even Jin Taifu can deal with them mercilessly. These courtiers may become cannon fodder at any time.
Jin Taifu was still complacent before. He felt that so many courtiers were willing to stand in the same line with him because of their own interests, but he didn't want to. He really overestimated himself.
Since it is because of the interests of the joint choice, then, when the interests may be damaged at any time, they will naturally choose to stay away because of their own interests.
Jin Taifu's heart was full of coolness, but his mouth was full of sarcastic smile.
"Emperor, I've worked hard for the northern kingdom for so many years. You can't treat me like this!"
The old emperor's face is still gloomy. He has indeed worked hard for the northern kingdom for so many years. However, during this period, he obstructed the reform and created chaos. How could a loyal minister do this!
"Jin Taifu, I will grant you ten thousand hectares of fertile land. You can go back and enjoy your life." The old emperor has made up his mind.
Jin Taifu was so excited that his forehead was full of green tendons. "Emperor, you have been ignoring the will of heaven and persisting in the reform. Now there are all kinds of people's grievances. If you don't stop and force your ministers to return home, aren't you afraid of retribution? "
"Bang", the old emperor clapped his hand on the imperial case, "presumptuous!"
All the courtiers knelt down in unison. Only Jin Taifu was standing there, standing out of place.
The old emperor's eyes were as heavy as a torch, and the clouds were surging more and more fiercely. "Jin Taifu, if there is retribution, then let it all come to me. But if someone is deliberately creating chaos, I will never tolerate it! "
Words fall, the imperial case on a burning black bamboo fragments.
When he saw this, Jin Taifu's legs softened, but with a "poop" sound, he knelt down directly.
"Jin Taifu, I remember that you have been working hard for the northern kingdom for so many years. You can live your life without any credit. It's a kindness to you. If you insist on refusing to return home, then I will let you continue to be Taifu, but..."
Jin Taifu gave a shiver.
The threat in the old emperor's words is so obvious.
If he continues to be a Taifu, he will be ruined.
Jin Taifu was also an old fox. In a short time, he had already thought a lot.
"Emperor, Minister..."
The old emperor's face was as gloomy as ink, and his patience was gone.
"Jin Taifu, how do you decide?"
All the ministers looked at Jin Taifu, worried that it would be their turn next.
Finally, Jin Taifu could only sigh helplessly, "I only want to live and be able to serve the emperor."
The old emperor waved his hand, "go down."
Until Jin Taifu left, many courtiers still did not dare to stand up.
The old emperor said in a deep voice, "how do you think of the rumors about the king of Chu, the princess of Chu and even the prime minister Wei that have recently appeared in the public
Naturally, everyone knew that these rumors were secretly spread by Jin Taifu, but they did not dare to say.
After all, if you say it, you will end up with a charge of failing to report it.
Wei Cheng said hastily: "emperor, just now people surrounded Qing'er's carriage in the street. Fortunately, Jingnan happened to pass by. I have already checked. The man has no wife and children at all. What he said is just slander! "
The old emperor's face was even more angry, "too much!"
"However, this man's mouth is very tight. He would rather die than surrender. I think that if we want to quell the rumors, we need the truth!" Premier Wei bowed and said.
The old emperor was very clear about what Prime Minister Wei meant. "I will let Ling Chong hear it in public. I must restore the truth."
Words fall, the old emperor waved his hand, motioned a group of courtiers to retreat.
After a group of courtiers came out of the imperial study, they still felt cramped in their legs and stomach, and their backs were soaked with sweat.
