Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 52

The chief minister of the cabinet did not speak immediately, but turned to the servant who was making tea.

Naturally, the emperor didn't say anything.

After the servant made tea, he left silently and closed the study door by the way.

The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, closed his eyes, opened his lips up and down as if enjoying himself.

Asked: "Okay, now we can talk about it."

The chief minister of the cabinet suddenly fell silent, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip lightly, then sighed, his face full of melancholy and confusion.

The emperor did not say a word, but just waited quietly.

It took a while for the chief minister of the cabinet to come back to his senses, and he leaned closer: "Emperor, have you heard the latest news?"

The emperor raised one eyebrow and asked casually.

"What news do you mean? Where?"

The chief minister of the cabinet sighed again: "I won't play Tai Chi with you all the time. It's just about the matter of Chen Yi, the fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Imperial Master, what do you think now?"

The emperor nodded: "I have indeed heard about it, but this kid seems to be too reckless, and he is a bit younger, but on the other hand, thinking about it, it is reasonable to have such a talent and be proud of it."

After the emperor finished speaking, he took another sip of tea.

The chief assistant of the cabinet agreed: "Yes, I think so too, hey! If this kid has a better temper, his future will be immeasurable! But he is a one-sided, hard-boned person, and now he has been beaten into it by His Majesty." In prison, he will be executed at noon tomorrow."

The emperor smiled when he heard this.

"You came here today for this matter, to ask me to intercede for him?"

The chief minister of the cabinet looked at the emperor in front of him, put the teacup in his hand on the table, shook his head,

"It can be said to be yes or it can be said to be no. The main reason is that the junior has a doubt and wants to ask the emperor teacher to clarify it for me."

The answer to this question was obviously beyond the expectations of the emperor, and the emperor smiled with great interest: "Let's hear it."

The chief minister of the cabinet lowered his voice, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and there were some entanglements.

"Actually, this has been suppressed in the junior's heart for a long time, and now I really can't complain, and I still go to the emperor's teacher Haihan."

The chief minister of the cabinet was courteous, and then turned to the topic.

"Your Majesty, in the past, he was diligent in governing, wise in decision-making, dedicated to the people, and never did anything beyond the rules. But now, I almost don't know His Majesty anymore, and I can't see the way he was before."

The chief minister of the cabinet sighed again after saying this.

"Young talents like Chen Shilang are not placed in the past. After all, His Majesty is thirsty for talents and entrusts him with important tasks. Moreover, with His Majesty's conduct, Chen Shilang will probably be loyal and loyal, so why did he make such a fuss?" How far?"

When the chief minister of the cabinet said this, he looked up at the imperial master, with some hope in his eyes.

The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and fell into memory.

"It's because of immortality."

The chief minister of the cabinet opened his eyes wide in surprise, he couldn't believe what he heard, and finally felt reasonable.

"The emperor said that your majesty's alchemy pavilion is for immortality? Is this possible? Why is your majesty like this?"

The Imperial Master lowered his head and smiled.

"This matter has to start with the late emperor. You and I both know why the late emperor died. The past of the late emperor is also a scar in your majesty's heart. In fact, when the late emperor was still there, your majesty It has already started, but you don’t know it.”

The matter of the chief minister of the cabinet has never been heard of.

The chief minister of the cabinet guessed that not only he had never heard of this matter, but also the other ministers in the court probably didn't know about it.

"The former emperor was a wise ruler of a generation. When he worked hard and put it into His Majesty's hands, it was such a peaceful and prosperous world. Do you think His Majesty does not want to guard this country? It is a pity that even if he is like the former Emperor, he cannot survive life, old age, sickness and death."

After hearing this, the chief minister of the cabinet opened his mouth and hesitated.

The emperor naturally saw it, and smiled: "Just say what you want to say, why are you still hesitating?"

"Emperor Master, when the first emperor handed over the world to His Majesty, it was not like it is now. Your Majesty can't put the cart before the horse! In order to pursue immortality, he ignored the people of the world. Did the late Emperor want to see this?"

The emperor sighed, picked up the tea on the table, but didn't drink it while holding it in his hand, looking at the scenery outside the yard.

"Yes, I did the same thing and persuaded her many times, but His Majesty seemed to be possessed by a demon. So at that time, I thought, maybe if His Majesty can fulfill his wish, this knot in my heart will be solved."

When the emperor said this, he turned around and looked at the chief assistant of the cabinet.

"There are you in the court, and there are several other ministers. I thought it would be safe and sound, enough for His Majesty to act recklessly once. I didn't expect that it will become like this now."

When the emperor said this, he frowned and pondered for a while.

"The immortal master in the alchemy pavilion seems to be making a move."

The chief assistant of the cabinet was a little puzzled: "Master Immortal, is there any problem?"

The emperor calmed down his face, and said solemnly: "Recently, I feel more and more that I seem to be a bit bold and self-willed, so I checked it out as a human being, and found that the current situation is not only caused by His Majesty, but also by this immortal master." It took a lot of effort."

The chief minister of the cabinet was shocked. Unexpectedly, it seemed to be deeply involved.

The emperor didn't wait to speak and continued.

"It's just that I just got some clues recently. There is insufficient evidence now, so I can't do anything with that immortal master."

The chief assistant of the cabinet also understood when he heard this. If the emperor's teacher found out that there was a problem first, it would not be easy.

Nowadays, no one in the court, except perhaps the emperor, has considered this point.

The chief assistant of the cabinet immediately thought of Chen Yi again, and asked pleadingly: "Master, what should Chen Shilang do? He will be executed at noon tomorrow, and all Xinjiang people will be rescued. Let's make another plan."

When the emperor heard Chen Yi's name, there was a hint of interest on his face.

"It's the first time I've seen you work so hard for an official. Why don't you tell me what's so different about this person? He's going to make you run around."

The chief assistant of the cabinet became energetic in an instant, and talked freely, recounting Chen Yi's every move and deeds before in detail, for fear of missing something.

After speaking, he picked up the teacup and moistened his throat.

A surprised smile appeared on the face of the emperor teacher: "I didn't expect it! It's so exciting. It seems that this person is indeed unusual and has a world-wide talent. However, judging by His Majesty's attitude now, I am afraid that he is determined to regain his face." .”

The chief minister of the cabinet nodded, indeed, although the empress said that she has become indifferent to world affairs now.

It's just that the empress is still the original empress, and her heart is not really cruel.
