What the emperor and Xiao Tianyao are arguing about is not whether Lin Chujiu deserves credit or not, and whether the celebration banquet should be postponed for Lin Chujiu, nor is it face and dignity, but a struggle for rights and status. Whoever compromises today has a weaker momentum, and in the future, when the two sides deal with each other, they will no longer be able to suppress each other.
In this case, neither side will give in easily!
If they give in, they lose not only their face, but also their status and power.
The emperor looked at Xiao Tianyao stubbornly, waiting for him to back down, but...
Xiao Tianyao was completely unmoved, he stood under the steps with a calm expression, his eyes were slightly closed, and he made it clear that he would not give in, nor compromise, nor would he give the emperor a favor.
He has more than 200,000 troops outside the city. Does he need to be afraid of the emperor, and does he need to give the emperor honor
There is no doubt that under such circumstances, only the emperor will give in!
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, so far away that everyone could not see his expression, but the ministers below could probably understand the emperor's mood at the moment.
However, to their surprise, the emperor was not angry, but laughed.
Just when the ministers thought that the emperor was stimulated and was mad at Xiao Wang, they heard the emperor loudly say: "No wonder people in Beijing say that Tianyao has a deep love for Princess Xiao and is willing to do anything for Princess Xiao. If it was a rumor, I only found out that the rumor is true today. Well, for the sake of Tianyao, your love for Princess Xiao is as deep as the sea, I have approved it. The banquet at the Qing Palace will be postponed for three days, and Princess Xiao will be invited to attend. "
Affectionate, it is not a good evaluation for a man who holds power, especially this man wants the emperor to change his schedule for a woman!
The emperor's words can be described as extremely poisonous, and he almost didn't say it directly. In order to please a woman, Xiao Tianyao threatened the emperor with military merit to postpone the celebration banquet.
The ministers who understood the meaning of the emperor's words gasped and buried their heads lower one by one.
Immortals fight and mortals suffer. In this case, they can't just show up.
All the ministers could understand what the emperor was saying, how could Xiao Tianyao not understand.
Xiao Tianyao raised his head, looked at the emperor without any scruples, and sneered: "Originally, every time the emperor brought the empress and Concubine Zhou to the celebration banquet, it was because he had a deep love for them, and the minister was taught!"
"Naughty, the queen is the mother of the country and a model of women in the world. What's wrong with her attending the celebration banquet." The emperor never thought that Xiao Tianyao would bite him, his face was very ugly.
"What about Concubine Zhou? The position of Concubine Zhou is indeed noble, but in the final analysis, she is still just a concubine. The emperor disregarded the face of his wife and allowed a concubine to attend various celebrations in the palace, presumably because of his deep love for Concubine Zhou." Xiao Tianyao said a little. You are also welcome, tearing apart the truth that the emperor favored his concubine and killed his wife.
The emperor has done this, and he is not allowed to say it.
"Tianyao, what kind of occasion is this? There should be a limit to your nonsense." The emperor held down his sun again, feeling his head twitching, and the pain was terrible.
"Your Majesty, you mentioned this first, and the minister just followed your words." If other ministers were to admit their mistake at this time, they would pretend that it never happened.
No, if an ordinary courtier would not dare to talk about the empress and concubine on such an occasion, only Xiao Tianyao would have the courage to talk about the emperor's private affairs on such a serious and formal occasion.
"You..." The emperor was so angry that he pointed at Xiao Tianyao, his fingers trembling, like an old man with a stroke.
Xiao Tianyao glanced at it, looked away calmly, and stood there as if nothing had happened, as if the person who had just run on the emperor was not him.
When Lin Xiang saw this situation, he knew that if he didn't show up again, the emperor would be very angry.
He sighed secretly, and Lin Xiang came out of the queue, "Your Majesty, King Xiao and his party must be exhausted from running around for days and days. Why don't you ask King Xiao to rest first, and discuss other matters at another day."
In addition to celebrating the merits and awarding rewards, the emperor originally planned to use the Zhang family shop to beat Xiao Tianyao, so that Xiao Tianyao would not be too arrogant, but now it seems that today is not a good time.
It's not that the timing is bad, but that the emperor was not heavy-hearted with Lord Xiao, and wasted a great opportunity in vain.
The emperor's expression softened a little, nodded and said, "Lin Xiang is right, Tian Yao must be very tired from running all the way, and he should go back to rest earlier." The emperor also knew that some things should not be rushed, although he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but his face But still looked happy.
To win the battle, as an emperor, he must be happy!
As for the imperial Zhang family
Don't worry, there is still a celebration feast. I don't have a chance to talk today, just wait for the celebration feast.
"Thank you for your understanding, long live, long live, long live." Xiao Tianyao stood on the spot, without even nodding his head, just read the words again.
"Everyone is gone." The emperor stood up, and all the civil and military officials immediately knelt down and sent the emperor away respectfully. Once the civil and military officials knelt down, Xiao Tianyao, who was standing in the center, and the soldiers behind him became even more conspicuous. Looking back at it.
Xiao Tianyao didn't take him seriously at all, he was really afraid that he couldn't help it and would go crazy on the spot.
"Doctor Qin, hurry up, announce Imperial Doctor Qin!" As soon as the emperor went to court, he felt his first burst of pain, as if it was about to explode, and he couldn't hold it for a moment.
After Imperial Physician Qin came, he didn't even need to diagnose his pulse, he only looked at the emperor's face, and knew that the emperor's condition was getting worse, he couldn't help sighing, "Sir, you can't be angry or worry any more, otherwise the condition will get worse and worse. In vain."
"The army of more than 200,000 people is just outside the city. How can you tell me to be calm?" The emperor felt even more irritated when he thought of the news sent by the first prince and the seventh prince.
He knew that Jin Wuwei was unusual, but after seeing the news sent by the eldest prince and the seventh prince, he knew that "unusual" was still too modest.
Not to mention that there are 100,000 forbidden troops in the capital, and 50,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, but according to what the First Prince and the Seventh Prince said, if they really want to fight, he doesn't even have a 10% chance of winning.
Under such circumstances, how could he not be in a hurry
"Your Highness... Your health is important." Although Imperial Physician Qin didn't know the specific situation, he knew that King Xiao's army was pressing down on the city, and it was normal for the emperor to be upset.
"Without this country, you can still let you heal when you are me? You people... Instead of being loyal to me, it is better to be loyal to the right in my hands. Without this right, what would you do?" The emperor sneered, With a bit of self-deprecation.
"The sage is clear, the minister is loyal to the sage, and he has no two hearts. It is definitely the sage's enlightenment." Qin imperial doctor fell to his knees and kept kowtowing to show his loyalty. The emperor did not let him get up immediately, but stared at him. After a long time, I was sure that Imperial Physician Qin didn't think carefully, and then he said, "Okay, okay, if you don't believe it, who else can I trust. Get up and heal me."
Because of Xiao Tianyao's great power, everyone around him was thinking. Although he was testing the imperial physician Qin this time, he also meant to beat the imperial physician Qin.
Although Xiao Tianyao's army was pressing down on the city and he couldn't breathe, he was still the emperor of Dongwen. He couldn't do anything to Xiao Tianyao, but others dared to play tricks on him, that is, courting death...
