"Stop standing, Xia Aiqing, just sit and watch. I see that your legs and feet are swollen, your eyes are blue, and you are very tired. It seems that Xia Aiqing has really dedicated herself to the Sun Yao Kingdom." Bai Lijue took a sip of tea and smiled. He smiled and said.
When Xia Yuan heard His Majesty say this, his heart trembled. He always felt that there was a sense of irony in these words from His Majesty's mouth.
Xia Yuanzheng even suspected that His Majesty already knew something, right? !
After Xia Yuanzheng thanked him again, he sat on the chair tremblingly and opened the memorial in his hand.
However, after reading only a few lines, he jumped up from the chair in shock, hurriedly knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am guilty! However, I can explain that the guilty minister has not yet Promise them."
The two memorials Bailijue gave him just now, one of which recorded in detail everything he had done in the past few days, who he met with, what he said during the period, and even the matter that the man in black was looking for last night , are recorded above.
The other one recorded the matters related to the batch of weapons and arrows in the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Bureau, and even the situation described above knew more than Xia Yuanzheng.
Such two things made Xia Yuanzheng's heart shattered, and it also made him truly feel how terrifying the emperor in front of him was in controlling the court and officials like them.
He used to think that the emperor was young, even if he was a bit talented and knew the art of the emperor, it was impossible for him to fully control the government. However, at this time, he realized that he had really underestimated the emperor before.
This made him feel terrified, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. After all, with such a wise king, Riyao Kingdom will definitely be stronger.
Of course, another thing that made Xia Yuanzheng happy was that since the emperor knew about this, he could still call him over alone, so there was a glimmer of hope. As long as he seized the opportunity, he could put his death on the line and come back to life!
Bai Lijue looked at Xia Yuanzheng who was kneeling below, but his mind drifted a little bit, thinking that this father is not as courageous as his own daughter.
When Xia Liang knew who I was, she was calm and not flustered!
Moreover, she dared to hold a dagger and threaten me with death. I have never seen a more ruthless woman than her!
Thinking of this, Bai Lijue couldn't help feeling a little angry again.
I thought to myself, even if I start to trust her, I can't spoil that woman. This time, I absolutely can't go to see her, and let her fully realize her mistake!
"Your Majesty?" Xia Yuan raised his head quietly, seeing that His Majesty seemed to be distracted, he couldn't help calling out.
"En." Bailijue came back to his senses, responded lightly, and said, "Don't you want to explain? Explain, I'm listening."
"Your Majesty, you know more about the matter here than I do. I didn't agree to Prince Rui, and I didn't want to deal with that batch of weapons and arrows for him. Even if he threatened my wife and children to force me, I would definitely not yes!!
I just want to tell His Majesty that even if the whole family dies, I will not betray His Majesty, nor will I betray Sun Yao Kingdom. "Xia Yuan was explaining, but he actually found that His Majesty knew better than he knew.
At this time, of course, it is necessary to show loyalty vigorously, and everything else is wrong!
Bailijue sneered, scolded the old thing, the old fox, and told him to get out of bed.
She said in her heart that you want the whole family to die, so what about my Xia Liang? ! You old bastard, I still want to protect you with all my strength.
"Do you know Prince Rui's purpose?" Bai Lijue asked.
"Before, I thought that Prince Rui wanted money, but after thinking about it carefully, I didn't think so." Xia Yuan hesitated, "I guess..."
"If you have anything to say, speak quickly. Don't hesitate." Bai Lijue said impatiently.
"My subject guesses, does Prince Rui want to buy a batch of weapons and arrows to support his private soldiers?" Xia Yuan said without hesitation, but continued,
"When the late emperor was still there, he enfeoffed the Northwest land to Prince Rui as his territory. And Prince Rui, relying on the empress dowager's favor and weak body, stayed in the imperial city all the time instead of living in the fiefdom. And Two days ago, Prince Rui inadvertently revealed that he wanted to go back to the Northwest fiefdom. I couldn't help but guess, has the Northwest land already..."
Today's military power is partly in the hands of General Chen, the emperor's uncle, and a small part is in the hands of the emperor.
For Prince Rui, in his fiefdom, it is absolutely not allowed to raise soldiers privately, and if found out, it is a crime of treason and seeking power.
Hearing Xia Yuanzheng's words, Bailijue couldn't help showing a hint of deep thought on his face. His control over the imperial city has reached the point of pervasiveness. However, the land in the northwest, because he didn't take Bailixi into his eyes before. , he really ignored something, even the spies didn't release much.
"You first agree to Prince Rui's request, according to what he said, deal with the batch of weapons, even sell them to him, try to gain his trust, find out exactly what he is going to do, find out where he is in the northwest, Are you planning something?" Bai Lijue knocked on the table and said.
"I obey the order." Xia Yuanzheng exhaled lightly, and said, "I will definitely do my best to handle this matter well."
"Your wife and children, don't worry, I will send someone to protect them." Baili Jue promised.
Because of this sentence, Xia Yuan was so moved that he burst into tears. He wiped the tears from his eyes, knelt down, and said in a choked voice, "It is my duty to share your majesty's worries! Your majesty, don't worry, even if If you risk your life as a minister, the minister will..."
"Okay! Don't make me feel so emotional here! Get out of here quickly. Your life will be watched by others, and I won't let you die." Bai Lijue stopped him, and said impatiently.
For this kind of loyal words, he would get tired of listening to them every day, and he would be able to keep his ears clean by listening to a few less words.
If you really want to show your loyalty, then put your life in your own hands, just like Xia Liang!
It's only been a while, why did he think of her again? Bai Lijue took a sip of tea, thinking sullenly, what a madman!
Seeing His Majesty's attitude, Xia Yuan immediately stood up from the ground, and asked in a nasty voice, "Then Your Majesty, the old minister will retire."
And at this time, in the Xia Mansion.
"Ding. Complete the task of relieving the crisis of gangsters, and get 100 points." 9957's notification sounded in Xia Liang's mind again.
Xia Liang raised her eyebrows in surprise, is this done? !
