On the other side.
Lin radial and Yao Chao's day of facing the saints was also in line with Yao Shu's expectation and passed smoothly.
It was the seventh day of the Grand Court meeting.
Xie Qian went to the palace in a carriage before he arrived. It was almost time for the meeting to end.
The emperor left him in the palace for breakfast and summoned Lin radial and Yao Chao.
Xie Qian sat opposite to the emperor. On the table were a pot of wine, two or three dishes for snacks, and a cup of soup that had been presented in the early days.
Today, he is about the same age as Xie Qian. He is in his early 30s.
The two men were sitting in front of the table, one wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and the other a royal robe. Both of them were young, but the monarch and the minister were well matched.
The emperor said with a smile, "Ai Qing is tired on the way back to Beijing on horseback? This is the old duck soup sent by Princess Li this morning. I'm tired of it. I'd rather borrow flowers and offer it to Aiqing. "
Facing the emperor, Xie Qian didn't show more enthusiasm than others. He still looked cold and indifferent. He shook his head and refused: "emperor, it's against the rules."
The tonic soup sent by the harem was not suitable for Xie Qian, a foreign minister.
The emperor is free and easy. He doesn't like to abide by any rules and traditions. He just waved his hand and said, "if I want you to drink, you can drink it. Isn't it the soup sent by the imperial palace? Why can't you drink without poison? "
seeing that Xie Qian was not moved, the emperor took a look at the people around him and said," divide this cup of soup into two parts and serve it. "
The palace man carried down the tonic soup, and soon came up with light feet.
The emperor pointed to the two small bowls of jade white on the case, and said to Xie Qian: "if you change the bowl this time, it will not be counted as the gift from imperial concubine. I'll drink with you, won't I? "
When Xie Qian heard that, he couldn't say anything, so he took up the porcelain bowl -
the soup should have been cooked for a long time, and it smelled delicious, not as greasy as the emperor said.
Xie Qian took a mouthful of the soup spoon and felt that it was similar to the soup his mother had made before. He drank a few more spoons and then put down the bowl.
The emperor had already thrown the spoon aside, drank two mouthfuls and frowned, but Yu Guang glimpsed Xie Qian's action.
He opened his mouth full of smile and asked, "does Aiqing think this soup is good?"
Xie Qian ignored the eyes of the emperor and said in a pertinent way: "fair."
The emperor was speechless for a moment. He put the soup bowl to the side, swung his sleeve, and put a chopstick of peanuts in his mouth. Then he began to chew it, and said mercilessly: "the sweet and greasy medlar! Li Fei's soup is fairly good. At the beginning of that year, the leg of sheep from the Western tributary and the bass from the East Lake The imperial chef in the palace has done it carefully, and you can say it's OK. Ai Qing can be really perfunctory. "
Xie Qian raised his eyelids and took a look at the emperor who had no sitting posture. His deep eyes quickly crossed a trace of silence and said in a light tone: "I dare not."
The emperor was used to his bad temper, so he only pushed the snacks on the case to Xie Qian: "I don't like sweet food. I'll give it to you."
"I don't want to eat sweet shake my head
The emperor choked for a while, and then, with a strong face, he said, "no, you must eat. I order you to eat."
Xie Qian raised his eyelids again. He just wanted to decline. He only heard the emperor add, "if you don't eat, you have to chop off your head."
Xie Qian had no intention of arguing with the childish monarch in his thirties. He reached out, picked up the smallest looking snack and put it into his mouth.
The emperor, who had been flattered by the courtiers all day, was somehow flattered by Xie Qian's small obedience. He laughed and squinted, and his voice softened a little, saying, "you loved sweet food when you were a child. At that time, the imperial study would prepare snacks for the princes in the middle of the morning. It was sweet and greasy. There was no one to eat, but only you
Xie Qian listened to him talking about the past, his face was light, and his voice was a little colder than before: "I don't like to eat sweet any more, but the emperor's temperament is the same as before."
The emperor ignored that he would stab a person's prick in this words, and said with a smile: "how can you know that I haven't changed? After the death of my father, I have changed a lot. "
At first, Xie Qian frowned and did not speak again.
The emperor glanced at the palace people standing next to him, and they all stepped back. There were only two of them left in the palace.
The emperor sighed and said to Xie Qian, "ah Qian, although our relationship is not close, we have grown up together since childhood. At that time, when you were with the prince, I was a good brother, right? It helped you a lot. The death of the Xie family was just the first step to bring down the crown prince So many years have passed, and the perpetrators have long been in ambush. How can you blame me? "
At that time, he did not stand out among several princes and had no ambition to win the throne. He also respected and admired the eldest brother who was the crown prince at that time. Along with Xie Qian, who was a companion of the prince at that time, he was very young but had excellent intelligence. He also felt that there was something he could not do.
If the Xie family had not been killed, and the eldest brother of the prince had not been persecuted, I'm afraid that Xie Qian's position would be higher now, right?After all these years of exile, Xie's family was full of hatred -
he didn't ask Xie Qian to forgive the confused and violent emperor, but it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Xie Qian's silence, the emperor sat in his place and remained silent for a long time. His long sleeves swung and the bowls, spoons and dishes on the table fell to the ground.
Originally specially prepared snacks for Xie Qian rolled to the man's feet and stopped leaning on Xuan boots.
The Yellow Emperor stood up, pointed to Xie Qian's nose and yelled: "all the people you should hate are dead! I'll give you rich clothes and rich food, and I'll give you high office and high salary. Are you still hating me?! Xie Qian, are you reasonable? "
Xie Qian knelt down, chin stretched out a cold line, the voice is still as usual flat: "modest dare not."
The emperor almost fell back in anger, and his fingers pointing to Xie Qian's nose trembled. After two breaths, he was so angry that he could not even care about the majesty of the Emperor: "I see you dare very much! Xie Qian, Xie Qian, you are really a stone in the pit. You have a bad temper and are hard! If you like kneeling so much, kneel down! "
Finish breakfast also need not, leave Xie Qian only kneel in place.
The Emperor didn't look back when he left, but he thought -
if he looked back at him, even if he was kneeling, Xie Qian's back would be straight.
There was a lot of noise between them. Where could the palace people standing outside the hall not hear? But one eye looks at the nose, one nose looks at the heart, and no one dares to make a sound.
Until the emperor stood outside the hall for a while, blowing the wind, he called the people around him: "go in and put away all the dishes that have been dropped. Don't hurt anyone."
The palace man promised, bowed his head and turned to go.
However, the emperor said, "wait a minute -"
the palace man turned back and waited for his next order quietly.
After a while, I will remind the emperor to send a message
When he said that, he suddenly stopped, and angrily pulled his wide sleeve -
the quality of the Dragon Robe was so good that he didn't pull any trace, but he was more and more angry.
"That's it! He said to me, "go in with me."
The emperor, who had stormed out of the palace gate, went back in anger.
Several palace people looked at each other without daring to speak.
He knelt as humbly as he thought, and remained upright.
The emperor walked forward a few steps and stood not far behind Xie Qian. He said in a voice: "the son of heaven is angry, but there will be a million floating corpses! Don't you also hate me? I'll show you later what's more tiresome! Lin radial, right? I can't kill him
Xie Qian suddenly laughed out of his sight.
That smile is like a flash in the pan, no, it's shorter than Epiphyllum.
His voice is cold, should way: "I never hate your majesty, is your majesty think more."
