Chapter 308

Xie Qian followed Da Gonggong into the back hall. He saw the emperor leaning on the chair and lazily looking at the memorial.

Hearing Xie Qian's footsteps, he knelt down to salute. The emperor did not look up.

After a long time, the emperor summoned Da Gong to get the grapes. He ate leisurely and read the memorial. He just let Xie Qian hang aside.

Xie Qian has always been calm, just straightened his upper body and knelt quietly in front of the emperor.

Finally, the emperor couldn't help it. He grabbed a grape and smashed it on top of Xie Qian's head. He cursed, "day by day, I'm going to ask for trouble from others. Even if it's OK, you've started?"

Xie Qian had no words, and his face was still like that. He knelt there motionless and looked like a statue.

The emperor said, "I ask you something."

Xie Qian said in a deep voice: "I have no such intention."

The Emperor didn't eat the grapes in his hand. He was sulking at himself. The next second, he said angrily, "I've been idle for a few days. Even in the last dynasty, I have to listen to your trivial affairs! Is the daughter of Du family good? What can I do? The women are so jealous that they want me to adjudicate when they do something shady? "

Xie Qian did not face the anger of the emperor, but did not change his attitude.

His voice was flat and plain as usual: "I think that I have the right to impeach the courtiers."

This is a blatant retort.

Looking at the emperor's bad face, Duke Da was worried.

The emperor was more angry when he heard this.

With a sneer, he left the memorial in his hand, threw it on the case and said, "I didn't find that Ai Qing is so brave now. Do you think I won't punish you? "

Xie Qian raised his eyes, clearly kneeling, but his eyes never had a moment of real submission.

He retorted to the emperor in a light voice: "the emperor can punish his ministers at any time. However, the minister did not expect that the emperor's patience was reduced to such an extent. "

Father Da raised his heart to his throat and gave Xie Qian a hard look, indicating that he would say something soft and stop pulling his beard from the tiger's face.

But Xie Qian was not moved. He still knelt steadily, his eyes as calm as water.

The emperor sneered, but he didn't want to do anything in his anger to make him regret the decision in the future, so he had to suppress his anger and turn over the memorial.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the main hall condensed to the freezing point. The emperor did not speak, and no one ever spoke.

After a while, the emperor couldn't bear it, and asked him in a deep voice, "when did you and Jiangning get together?"

Jiang's family lives in the northwest all year round, and Jiang Ning seldom comes to Beijing.

However, it was the great victory of the northwest, the peace talks between the court and other nationalities, and the restoration of the border area that the emperor called into the capital.

Xie Qian raised his eyes, shook his head and said truthfully: "there is no private contact between the minister and the general. Lin radial is a subordinate of the general, so he has been tried in the general's house. "

The emperor suddenly, secretly scolded himself, how he forgot this stubble.

Seeing the emperor's silence, Xie Qian said again: "I think the emperor will have basic trust in his ministers."

For a moment, the emperor frowned and said, "when did I not trust you?"

Xie Qian is silent.

The emperor knew that he was in trouble, and raised his eyebrows and called him, "get up and kneel for such a long time. Is the knee uncomfortable? Come on, I have some grapes from the West. They taste good... "

Seeing that the cloud on his face seemed to be blown away, and his face was also smiling, Xie Qian was helpless for a moment.

He got up according to the words, but did not taste the grapes in the emperor's mouth, but asked in a low voice: "is the emperor handing this case to Meng Qing, is it on the spur of the moment or for no purpose?"

Knowing that Xie Qian was dissatisfied, the emperor shook his head and said, "Xie Aiqing, you should also understand my difficulties."

Xie Qian looked directly into the emperor's eyes and said, "well, it seems that the emperor has plans. Now the Du family is firmly in control of the household department, and the money and food of the imperial court are in the hands of Du Zhong. The Minister of the Ministry of war is very close to the Du family. The emperor should know that Lu Hua, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of war, also wants to marry Du's daughter. "

The emperor listened to him quietly without saying anything.

Xie Qian said again: "the emperor wants to see Meng Qing's sincerity? Or do you really forget that Luhua has been in the palace since he was a child and has been reading to Meng Qing for several years? "

The emperor had a headache. He only frowned and said, "Meng Qing is also a royal, and he has the title I gave you. You should not call him by his name. Besides, no matter how Meng Qing is, he is always my nephew. You should look at his father's face and treat him less harshly. "

Xie Qian frowned coldly and said: "Mengqing was the first prince, but the emperor insisted on making him king that day. Didn't he induce him to make mistakes? If the emperor is sincere to him, he should not be so hilarious. "

The royal family is the most merciless. If they make a mistake, they will be doomed. The emperor knows this truth better than anyone else.

But the emperor's mental skill was so clearly pointed out by Xie Qian that no matter how much the emperor connived at Xie Qian, he was also a little annoyed.His face suddenly fell down, frowned and said, "Ai Qing has taken care of me. How can I act?"

Looking at the emperor's increasingly cold face over the years, Xie Qian did not know whether he was influenced by teasing his grandchildren in the palace these days, and his heart was a little softer.

His voice dropped, not like the usual cold, with a little sigh, said: "the emperor has always been a young man, sometimes angry, and soon can be happy. However, power is most likely to erode people's hearts. In the first few years when the former emperor ascended the throne, there was no sign of tyranny and Impermanence in the future. I don't want the emperor to follow the emperor before him. "

After listening to such a speech, the emperor knew that it was from Xie Qian's heart.

He dropped his eyes and said to Dagong, "you go out."

The latter quietly withdrew from the hall and closed the door.

For a time, there were only emperor and Xie Qian in the hall.

Come up, Xie Qian.

One of them was bright yellow, and the other was covered with dark clothes. They were almost tall. Standing at the same place, they had the same serious look. Anyone who saw them would praise each other.

The emperor thought: what he thought at first was not to leave Xie Qian and let him meet with his own monarchs and ministers?

When did he begin to doubt Xie Qian?

"Xie Qian." The emperor called in a low voice.

The latter's vision is still as plain as water: "minister in."

The emperor shook his head and swallowed what he wanted to say. He only asked about the case that he had just raised earlier today: "is that thing you said in the morning, is it true?"

Xie Qian and the emperor looked at each other, and there was a smile on the bottom of their eyes: "emperor, can't you find words? What's wrong with what Lin radial found out? "

With a wave of his long sleeve, the emperor said angrily, "it's really against you! I can't even ask one more question! "

Xie Qian straightened his robe and said seriously, "I really want to use this to suppress Du Fu. Just see what the emperor means."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "why? In the past, when I saw you criticized by the officials, I didn't have any reaction. Why today, I have a feud with Du Fu? "

Xie Qian said bluntly: "if the Du family moved the minister, the minister would not sit idly by. What's more, the Ministry of accounts and the Ministry of war have the intention of connecting. If this force is returned to Mengqing, the emperor thinks that you can sit firmly in this position? "

The emperor said with a smile, "good, thank you! I thought that you had become an expert in the world now. You refused to touch the ordinary things, and you didn't want to ask for anything. I didn't expect to be a layman

Instead of refuting, Xie Qian said, "it's not good for a minister to be a mortal who has desires and desires. It's not good to keep good care of Xie's family and the emperor's land."

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed: "good! Good! I will not interfere in the struggle between you and Du's house. The young lady of the Du family will deal with it as much as possible. Just a little. I have to take care of the face of the imperial concubine. She is still sick now. "

Xie Qian nodded his head slightly and said in a voice, "I obey your orders."

Xie Qian, dressed in Xuan clothes, walked slowly from the hall, followed the high walls and walked through the magnificent imperial city.

In this center of power, he thought he was just a bystander, but once he had something to protect in his heart, he could only lean in and fight hard!

Fortunately, there are Lin radial, Yao Chao, etc

Xie Qian said: that's enough.
