After wearing the book, I became the mother of three villains

Chapter 308 What does it mean to look at the emperor alone

Xie Qian followed Eunuch Da into the apse, and at a glance he saw the emperor leaning on the chair, looking lazily at the memorial.

Hearing the sound of Xie Qian's footsteps coming in, followed by the sound of kneeling down to salute, the emperor did not raise his head.

After a while, the emperor ordered Da Gonggong to fetch grapes, and ate leisurely while reading the memorial, just leaving Xie Qian aside.

Xie Qian has always been calm, kneeling quietly in front of the emperor with his upper body straight.

In the end, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed a grape casually, smashed it on the top of Xie Qian's head, and cursed: "Every day, it's fine for others to make trouble for me, and you started?"

Xie Qian didn't speak, but still had the same expression on his face, knelt there motionless, like a statue.

The emperor said angrily: "I'm asking 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 only sulked himself, and said angrily in the next second: "I have been free for a few days, and in the last court, I still listen to your trivial matters! Du Is the daughter of the family good or not? What does it have to do with me? Women are jealous and do some shameful things, and you want me to judge?"

Xie Qian didn't change his attitude because of facing the emperor's anger.

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

This sentence is a blatant contradiction.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was not good, Da Gonggong felt a little worried.

After hearing this, the emperor became even more angry.

He sneered, didn't read the memorial in his hand, and threw it on the case, saying: "I didn't realize that Aiqing is so courageous now. Do you think I won't punish you?"

Xie Qian raised his eyes, he was clearly kneeling, but his eyes never truly surrendered for a moment.

Looking at the King of God, he retorted softly: "The emperor can punish the minister at any time. However, the minister did not expect that the emperor's patience has been reduced to such a degree."

Eunuch Da raised his heart into his throat, and winked at Xie Qian desperately, signaling him to speak softly and stop pulling the beard on the tiger's face.

But Xie Qian was unmoved, still kneeling steadily, his eyes as calm as water.

The emperor sneered again and again, but he didn't want to make a decision that he would regret in the future, so he could only hold back the anger and read the memorial again.

The atmosphere in the hall froze to freezing point for a while, the emperor didn't speak, and no one spoke.

After a while, the emperor couldn't bear it any longer, and asked him in a deep voice, "When did you and Jiang Ning get mixed up?"

The Jiang family has been stationed in the northwest all year round, and Jiang Ning rarely comes to the capital.

However, it was the great victory in the Northwest, the peace talks between the imperial court and the foreign race, and the peace of the frontier, that the emperor called him into the capital.

Xie Qian raised his eyes, shook his head and said truthfully: "The minister and the general have no personal relationship. Lin Rong is the general's subordinate, so he was interrogated in the general's residence."

The emperor was stunned, and secretly scolded himself, how could he forget this.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Xie Qian said again: "I think that the emperor will have basic trust in me."

The emperor was at a loss for words for a while, frowned and said firmly: "When did I not trust you?"

Xie Qian said nothing.

The emperor knew he was wrong, raised his eyebrows, and called him: "Get up, kneeling for so long, don't your knees hurt? Come, I have grapes that have just been tributed from the west, and they taste pretty good..."

Seeing that the dark clouds on his face seemed to be blown away all of a sudden, and there was a smile on his originally stern face, Xie Qian felt helpless for a moment.

He stood up according to his words, but he didn't try the grapes from the emperor's mouth, but asked in a low voice: "Did the emperor hand over this case to Meng Qing on a whim or for some other purpose?"

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

Xie Qian looked straight into the emperor's eyes, and said without hesitation: "Since this is the case, it seems that the emperor has plans. Now the Du family is firmly in control of the household department, and all the money and food of the court are in the hands of Du Zhong; Very close, if you think about it, the emperor should know that Lu Hua, the son of Minister of the Ministry of War, also intends to marry Lord Du's daughter."

The emperor listened to him quietly, without expressing his opinion.

Xie Qian said again: "Does the emperor want to see Meng Qing's sincerity? Or did he really forget that Lu Hua has been in the palace since he was a child, and has served as Meng Qing's companion for several years?"

The emperor had a headache, he only frowned and said: "No matter how you say it, Meng Qing is also a member of the royal family, and he has a title given by me, so you shouldn't call him by his first name. Besides, no matter what Meng Qing is, he is always my nephew. We should also look at his father's face and be less harsh on him."

Xie Qian looked coldly, and said: "Meng Qing is the first prince, but the emperor insisted on making him king that day. Could it be that he was tempted to make mistakes? If the emperor sincerely treats him, he shouldn't be so flattering and killing him."

The royal family is the most ruthless, if one wrong step is lost, the emperor understands this truth better than anyone else.

It's just that the emperor's mind was so bluntly pointed out by Xie Qian that no matter how much the emperor indulged Xie Qian, he was a little annoyed.

His complexion suddenly fell, and he frowned and said: "Ai Qing actually cares about how I act?"

Xie Qian looked at the emperor's face that had become more and more cold and hard these years, and wondered if he was affected by teasing his grandson in the mansion these days, and his heart became a little softer.

His voice lowered, not as cold as usual, and with a little sigh, he said: "The emperor has always been a young man. Sometimes he gets angry, but he can quickly become happy again. It's just that power is the easiest to erode people's hearts. In the few years since he took the throne, there was no hint of tyranny in the future. I don't want the emperor to follow in the footsteps of the previous emperor."

After hearing such words, the emperor knew that it came from Xie Qian's sincerity.

He lowered his eyes and said to Da Gong: "You go out."

The latter quietly exited the hall and closed the door.

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

The emperor got up and walked up to Xie Qian.

One of them was dressed in bright yellow, the other was dressed in black clothes. They were about the same height. Standing together, they had the same serious expressions. Anyone who saw them would praise each other.

The emperor thought to himself: Didn't he think at first that he should keep Xie Qian and let him get along with his monarch and ministers?
Since when did he start to doubt Xie Qian?

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

The latter's gaze was still as calm as water: "The minister is here."

The emperor shook his head, finally swallowed what he wanted to say, and only asked about the case that was brought up early today: "Is what you said in the morning true?"

Xie Qian and the emperor looked at each other, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Is the emperor unable to find something to say? Lin Roe found out, how could it be fake?"

The emperor waved his long sleeves and said angrily: "It's really against you! I can't even ask one more question!"

Xie Qian straightened his robes, and said seriously: "I do intend to use this matter to suppress the Du family, just look at what the emperor means."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "What's the reason? In the past, I saw that you were attacked by the officials, but you didn't respond. Why did you become enemies with the Du Mansion today?"

Xie Qian said bluntly: "The Du Mansion moved my family, so naturally I won't just sit idly by. Besides, there is a faint connection between the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War. If this power belongs to Meng Qing, the emperor thinks that you can sit in this position." stable?"

The emperor laughed and scolded: "Good job, Xie Qian! I thought that you have cultivated to be a serious and respectable expert, and you don't want to touch the mortal world, and you have no desires and desires. I didn't expect that you are just a layman!"

Xie Qian did not refute, but said: "I just want to be a mortal with desires and desires, guard Xie's family well, and protect the country for the emperor, isn't it good?"

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay! Okay! I will not interfere in the struggle between you and the Du family, and the young lady of the Du family can be dealt with as she pleases. Just one thing, I want to take care of the noble concubine's face, she is still sick now .”

Xie Qian nodded slightly, and said in response: "I obey."

Xie Qian, who was dressed in black clothes, left the hall slowly, walked along the high palace walls, and walked through the majestic imperial city.

In this center of power, he originally thought that he was just an outsider watching indifferently, but once he had something in his heart that needed to be protected, he could only lean in and fight hard!

Fortunately, Lin Zhi, Yao Chao and others are by my side...

Xie Qian thought: This is enough.
