Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1428

Chapter 1428

As the setting sun shines at night, the afterglow renders the majestic palace of Tai Chi Palace magnificently, and pieces of glazed tiles reflect the golden light and bloom brilliantly.

The mountain-like memorials were finally reviewed, and His Majesty Li Er stretched his waist after the case, and his joints "cracked".He let out a long breath, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, and then felt a little better.

Since Ma Zhou took office as Jingzhaoyin, the remaining Zhongshu Sheren were far worse. They just couldn't give too much burden to His Majesty Li Er in handling government affairs, and His Majesty Li Er didn't trust their abilities.As a result, government affairs will naturally intensify, causing His Majesty Li Er a lot of trouble.

He got up and went to the apse to wash up, changed into a dry shirt, and ordered the servant to prepare dinner.

Just about to instruct the servants to go to Shujing Palace and Lizheng Palace to call the two daughters Changle and Jinyang to have dinner with him, when he saw the chief servant trotting in from the outside in a hurry, seeing His Majesty Li Er, he shouted Said: "His Majesty, General Qiu Xinggong of Zuo Wuhou knocked on the gate outside Chengtian Gate, begging to see His Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er frowned, and said displeasedly: "Absurd! The floods in Shanzhou are rampant. As the governor of Hebei and Shanxi prefectures, he is not in charge of controlling people's sentiments and responsible for disaster relief. He even left his post for family affairs. Could it be that his father and son really don't know the law? How strict and ruthless the laws are?"

He couldn't help being angry.

First, Qiu Shenji made a big fuss by treating the Ministry of War as if it were a street market, and then Qiu Xinggong left his post and returned to Beijing alone. What do national laws and regulations mean in the eyes of your Qiu family and his son?

There is no sense of awe at all!

Wang De hesitated for a moment, and added: "Your Majesty, Qiu Xinggong is kneeling outside the Chengtian Gate right now, with his chest open and his back bare, and he keeps saying that he wants to take the thorn and plead guilty..."

His Majesty Li Er froze for a moment: "Pleading guilty?"

Hehe, is this trying to play tricks with me?

The anger in my heart is still there, I really want to let him kneel outside the Chengtian Gate, and see how long he can play this bitter trick...

But after thinking about it, he remembered that although this guy is hateful, he and his brother led more than a thousand soldiers to join Li Er in the north of the Weishui River, and since then he has always been a loyal and dedicated soldier.Ping Xueju, destroying Liu Wuzhou, destroying Wang Shichong... even killing Li Jiancheng on the night of the Xuanwu Gate, Qiu Xinggong has never left him and never gave up his life...

Now that the world is in peace, the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are prosperous and beautiful, and all the heaven and earth are subject to surrender, how can I not think of the life-and-death relationship of fighting side by side in the past, and not fulfilling the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers?

I sighed in my heart, that's all...

"Let him in."

"Here."

Wang De bowed and retreated.

After a while, Qiu Xinggong, with his shoulders bare, was brought into the Dragon Hall.

Although this guy is over fifty years old, he has been in the army all year round, and he is still strong and strong. His body is strong and burly, with countless scars on his body.A clump of thorns was carried on his back by two thin ropes, and the thorns of the thorns pierced the bloody skin.

When he arrived in the hall, Qiu Xinggong knelt down on the ground and shouted: "I have no way to manage the family. If you make His Majesty difficult, you deserve death!"

In just a moment, His Majesty Li Er softened his heart...

Although this person is cruel and cruel, I don't like him, but he has absolutely no doubts about his loyalty.As a king, ministers may be wise or foolish, as long as they are loyal.

Looking at Qiu Xinggong's gray hair, His Majesty Li Er sighed secretly. In the past, he was an invincible general with a saber-slashing sword, who was brave and invincible among thousands of troops. Yeh...

In the midst of ups and downs, His Majesty Li Er stood up from behind the desk, stepped forward to support Qiu Xinggong's shoulders, and said softly: "Why is this so? You and I are a king and a minister. As long as it is not a serious crime of treason, how can I bear to be harsh? For you? Get up quickly and speak slowly if you have something to say."

Qiu Xinggong was grateful, with tears running down his old face, he beat his chest and said: "Your Majesty cares about Enyi, how can Qiu Xinggong be a person without righteousness? That animal from my family ran into the car of His Highness Jin Yang, this is a great sin! His Royal Highness Yang is a young man who is grown up under the watchful eye of an old minister. He is so lovely, but he lost his mother when he was young and is weak and sick. He is pitiful... If the beast in my family frightens His Highness Jinyang, it will be my Qiu Even if the whole family takes their lives, it will be difficult to atone for their crimes..."

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed... In other words, if Sizi was really frightened and contracted an illness, he really wanted to kill Qiu Shenji to vent his anger.But now that Qiu Xinggong cried like this, he felt that it was too much for him to have such a heart.Although Sizi was his darling, he killed the son of a loyal minister just because of an unintentional mistake...

It is really a foolish king.

With guilt in his heart, he quickly pulled Qiu Xinggong up, and comforted him with gentle words: "Your family's achievements were also unintentional, and there is nothing serious about your son, so you can rest assured. It's just that Dali Temple enforced the law impartially. I will tell Sun Fujia later, I will make an exception."

Qiu Xinggong refused to get up, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it! If the dog has made a mistake, it should be punished according to the law. If it should be hit, it should be hit, and if it should be killed, it should be killed. The old minister will never complain! We followed him in the past. Your Majesty overcame obstacles, went through many ups and downs, passed through many life-and-death junctures, and now we have the prosperous and beautiful Tang Dynasty. It is to save the people of the world from fire and water, not to act recklessly for the sake of success and fame! Now that the dog makes mistakes, how can it be because of the old ministers in the past? The mere meritorious deeds of the country will mess up the country's laws? If it is passed on, the old minister may become a sycophant!"

His Majesty Li Er was almost moved by what he said...

consciousness!

His Majesty Li Er patted Qiu Xinggong on the shoulder vigorously, and praised: "Good job! If you think about the past friendship and don't embarrass me, can't I forgive you and other juniors for their mere sins? You stand up, I have my own opinion on this matter, so don't say too much. Besides, you and I are about to become in-laws, so why do we need to talk about two different things?"

It stands to reason that His Majesty Li Er, who has always been nostalgic for the past, has talked about this point, and Qiu Xinggong's goal should naturally be achieved by going downhill.

But Qiu Xinggong still refused to get up...

"Your Majesty, the old minister is rude, and the dog is even more stubborn. How can I still win a virtuous and virtuous daughter like His Highness Changle? This is just my dog's wishful thinking. I got His Majesty's approval because of asking the Duke of Shen. The old minister is naturally very grateful, this letter is the only thing that can be repaid by the brain! But I know my own family affairs, my son is really not good enough for His Highness Changle, if we get married, I am afraid that it will ruin His Highness Changle's lifelong happiness Therefore, the old minister has the courage to implore His Majesty to take it back..."

His Majesty Li Er was stunned.

This old man... actually retired?

Damn!I am the Son of Heaven, my daughter is the one you can marry if you want, and retire if you want?

Do you want Zhen's face, or Datang's face?

His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Marriage matters, how can it be such a joke? Although your family and I have never made three letters and six rituals, but I have said that there will be no change in this matter."

But Qiu Xinggong insisted: "Your Majesty is very kind, and the old minister will never hesitate to die. It's just that I dare not obey my orders. My dog ​​is stubborn and rude. How can he be worthy of His Highness Changle who is Lan Zhihui's heart? If His Highness Changle's life is ruined , then my Qiu family will die and have no place..."

In short, every possible way to shirk.

His Majesty Li Er is annoyed...

In the past, he looked down on Qiu Shenji a little bit, that fellow is a scumbag, how can he be worthy of his daughter?But now that the matter is settled, you Qiu Xinggong pushes back and forth, what's the matter?

He didn't go to support him anymore, so he let Qiu Xinggong kneel on the ground like this, His Majesty Li Er said with a flick of his sleeves: "The marriage has already spread throughout Chang'an, how can it be changed at will? Don't mention it now."

Qiu Xinggong also felt His Majesty Li Er's annoyance. Nuoda was so young that he was sobbing, neither saying yes nor no, hanging his head and knelt down...

This time, His Majesty Li Er finally noticed the difference, and asked curiously, "Could it be that Ai Qing has some other difficulties?"

Qiu Xinggong wiped his eyes and tears, he was so wronged, but he just kept silent...

His Majesty Li Er also has a violent temper, and he was about to explode when his anger rose. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Could it be... because of the Fang family?"

Only then did Qiu Xinggong mutter and say: "This...Fang Xiang is a gentleman, and in the past he was kind to the old minister. The old minister has always admired Fang Xiang and never dared to offend him..."

Speaking of this, what else does His Majesty Li Er not understand?

It was obviously because of the rumors in the market that the old man Qiu Xinggong was scared!

It was rumored that Fang Er coveted Chang Le, so he planned to frame Qiu Shenji.If Qiu Shenji really marries Changle in the future, I'm afraid Fang Er's stick will kill Qiu Shenji due to his jealousy...

His Majesty Li Er was furious, even Qiu Xinggong, who was not afraid of anything, was afraid of the Fang family's power?

Doesn't it mean that no one in the world dares to marry my daughter except your roommate?

If your roommate doesn't marry, my daughter will have to be an old daughter?

It just doesn't make sense!
