Based on Li Qitian's understanding of Pang Xiao over the years, he is a person who loves face very much. Even when he is sloppy and rolling, he must openly stand on the side of justice and will never leave anyone behind.
But now, when Pang Xiao knew that the treasury was empty and all the money and money were exhausted, he actually asked such a question in front of everyone at the conference. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of him in public!
This is clearly an undisguised humiliation, revealing his secret thoughts on the surface for everyone to see!
How dare he!
If it were someone else, even if he knew that the treasury was insufficient and his internal funds were unable to pay for the disaster relief, he would consult with him in private in order to protect the saint's face, and it was more likely that he would find a way to avoid angering Tianwei.
Why did he change completely when he arrived at Pang Xiao
He clearly didn't take him as the emperor in his eyes anymore!
When Li Qitian was silent, the civil and military of the whole dynasty held their breath, and even dared not let the air out, for fear that Li Qitian would notice that he was in the early stage at this time.
Everyone secretly blamed Pang Xiao for being reckless.
However, Pang Xiao didn't seem to notice the difference in everyone's expressions at all. Seeing that Li Qitian didn't speak, he automatically understood that he didn't hear clearly.
Pang Xiao bowed his hands generously, and asked again: "How much food did the sage have prepared for the disaster relief? Does this minister go to the household department to collect it? Or should I contact the internal supervisor of the manager of Huangzhuang to inquire about the money and food brought by the disaster relief center?"
Li Qitian took a deep breath, held it in his chest for a long time before slowly exhaling, and put on a smiling face: "Don't worry, I have already prepared everything."
Ready? What are you preparing for
The courtiers looked at each other, not knowing what medicine Li Qitian sold in the gourd.
Pang Xiao also had doubts in his heart, but there was no doubt on his face, he smiled and saluted: "Sage is wise."
Li Qitian narrowed his eyes, smiled and said loudly: "The southern matter is urgent, although you are still ill, but the people of the world are of the utmost importance. I will give you one day to prepare, and leave early the next morning."
Pang Xiao nodded and said seriously: "Sir, this minister knows the suffering of the people in the south, and now there is only a princess in the family, and there is no one else in the family. There is no need to say goodbye, and there is nothing to prepare. The sage understands the urgency of the minister."
Pang Xiao's remarks caused the nobles around him and the generals who admired him to sigh with emotion, saying: "Your Highness is really dedicated to serving the country."
"Your Highness is a real hero, and you are humbled by your humble position!"
…
Li Qitian sat on top of the imperial steps, looking down at the group of people holding Pang Xiao in the middle, his face flushed with anger, and the veins on his temples jumped.
Pang Xiao is too good at acting, can't he see that he said this on purpose!
He was clearly convinced that he couldn't bring out the relief supplies, so he wanted to make a fool of himself.
But what made people angry and aggrieved the most was that Li Qitian really couldn't get the money for disaster relief.
What if he promised Pang Xiao to set off immediately, but he couldn't get the money right now
But if you leave it for yourself for a while to prepare but still can't come up with the first two, how will you stop Yoyo's mouth
At this time, Li Qitian deeply felt that Pang Xiao was really his nemesis, as long as he met him, he would not be happy!
For a moment, Li Qitian really wanted to nod his head directly and tell Pang Xiao to get out of here quickly!
But he also knew that as an emperor, he let his ministers go to disaster relief without preparing money and food, which would make many people talk about the emperor's inhumanity behind his back.
Even if he meant it, he had to bring a few truckloads of food to Pang Xiao.
No one would know what was on the carriage anyway. If it's not enough at that time, he might be able to take this opportunity to catch Pang Xiao on a charge of ineffective disaster relief.
Thinking of this, Li Qitian nodded with a gentle expression: "What you said is that I am indeed ready. Besides, even if you only have one family member and your injuries have not yet healed, I am not a tyrant, so wouldn't I allow you? Rest and prepare before going on the road? Let’s start the day after tomorrow!”
Li Qitian's words were full of beatings. First of all, he mentioned the injury on his body, hoping not to forget who he is! As the Son of Heaven, he treated Pang Xiao as a plank, but now he immediately ordered someone to push Pang Xiao into the prison, how could Pang Xiao resist
After the beating, he said the word "on the road", which was obviously sarcasm.
Everyone heard this clearly, all of them bowed their heads in silence, and did not dare to intervene at all. Even if there were some die-hard fans of Pang Xiao, their hearts were about to explode, and they did not dare to say anything on the face. An expression of dissatisfaction at all.
This is a big court meeting. There are ministers and eyeliners of the sage all around, and the inner supervisor is carefully recording the words and deeds of the officials. Whoever dares to lick their lips is afraid that they will lose their heads!
In the silence, Pang Xiao's voice was particularly loud, "Yes, the Holy One is a wise and benevolent king, and it is a blessing for the servants to be loyal to the Holy One! The Holy One considers the common people, and it is indeed a blessing for the people! "
A sentence of praise and virtue can be said so naturally, and even if the historians record it and pick it word by word, it is impossible to pick out the problem, but it is full of irony to say it at this time.
Li Qitian was very annoyed, his face flushed red, but he couldn't get angry in the face of such praise, could he deny Pang Xiao's praise for him
"Okay. This matter is settled." Li Qitian ended the topic stiffly.
At the next court meeting, the courtiers seemed to understand that Li Qitian was in a bad mood, so none of them dared to touch the holy scale, even if there was such a place where there was chaos among the people, and where he starved to death How many people have had such an important matter, and after thinking about it, they dare not report it again this time.
After the court meeting, Pang Xiao took a sedan chair to return to the mansion.
The expression that had been patient in Fengtian Hall changed when the curtain of the velvet sedan chair fell.
Pang Xiao sat sideways, grinning silently and taking a few deep breaths.
His board was sturdy, and Li Qitian put on a posture that he wished he could crippled him. This time, he was able to stand up and walk thanks to Bingtang who used the ancestral sore medicine for him. Although the medicine was a little painful, But in the end, the good is fast, and it is not easy to fall into the root of the disease.
The wound hurts, and the medicine is even hotter. If it wasn't for the fear of being looked down upon just now, Pang Xiao definitely couldn't maintain his indifferent expression until now.
Back at the palace, the sedan chair entered the ceremonial gate, and Hu Zi immediately ordered someone to drive the oil wall car used for transportation.
Walking in the alley leading to Chuihuamen, when Pang Xiao closed his eyes and rested, he suddenly heard Hu Zi laugh outside.
Pang Xiao wondered: "What's wrong?"
Hu Zi hehe said happily: "My lord, the princess is here to pick you up."
Pang Xiao lifted the dark green splendid car curtain and saw Qin Yining standing next to the hanging flower door with Bingtang and Jiyun, a plain blue cocoon silk jacket and eight white-toothed skirts. A hair editor exuded a refined air, looking at himself with frowning eyes.
Pang Xiao's originally gloomy mind was relieved by three points after seeing such a beautiful Qin Yining. I just feel that the appearance of my daughter-in-law standing in front of the hanging flower door, waiting for her, is like a painting in autumn!
"Sister Yi. It's getting colder, why don't you stay in the house?"
Qin Yining stepped forward with a smile and watched the driver and Hu Zi help Pang Xiao get out of the car, "I'm about to leave at the same time, and I'll be idle when I'm idle, so I'll come out to greet you. What's wrong with you? The wound hurts badly?"
Pang Xiao smiled. Originally, the wound was painful, especially after using the medicine, it was extremely painful. But in front of people, he can be so calm that people don't see anything different, but when he sees Qin Yining, even if he hurts Pang Xiao from three points, it will be magnified to seven points.
Pang Xiao stumbled a little, and put his arms around Qin Yining's shoulders, his face pale and he endured the pain and said, "It's okay, it's not too bad."
Qin Yining's delicate brows immediately wrinkled, "Why isn't it bad? With such a serious injury, it's also thanks to that despicable villain who has the black heart to deal with it!"
Huzi and Bingtang followed behind, and it was a little funny to see that the prince was embarrassingly hugging the princess' shoulders, deliberately holding on to others, but he was reluctant to put the weight on Qin Yining.
The lord is approaching his thirties, but he looks like a child when he sees the wangfei, and he actually acts like a spoiled child!
Qin Yining took Pang Xiao back to the inner house, helped him up the steps and entered the main house, passed through the gourd door opened on the Bogu frame to the inner room, and helped him to lie on his side on the heated kang by the window.
The kang is now covered with thick cotton wool, which is soft and comfortable, and the brocade mattress on the top is smooth to the touch.
Qin Yining went to bring tea to him, and then used Pang Xiao's lying on his stomach to take off his official boots, sweating on his forehead.
Pang Xiao secretly cooperated with Qin Yining's actions, reluctant to let her be too tired, but enjoying her care very much, when Qin Yining brought him a thin blanket to cover, he couldn't help pulling him onto the heated kang.
"Yeah!" Qin Yining jumped, and in the blink of an eye, he was already lying on his chest.
Seeing that he looked at him with a smile on his face, and the phoenix eyes seemed to fall into a bright star, Qin Yining said angrily: "I'm still hurt and still won't stop, what if the wound is tossed open?"
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all to hug you."
Qin Yining simply lay down on Pang Xiao's chest with peace of mind and asked in a low voice, "Can the sage let you go on an expedition?"
Qin Yining felt that Pang Xiao's big hand stroking her back was stagnant, so he raised his head in surprise: "Didn't the sage not let you go on an expedition?"
"Not only did he not let me go on expeditions, but he also let me go to disaster relief." Pang Xiao told Qin Yining what happened at the court meeting just now.
Qin Yining was stunned, and immediately understood, and said sarcastically: "It seems that he can't wait to take you down. I guess he didn't prepare any disaster relief materials at all, and even if he leaves the day after tomorrow, you won't get any disaster relief materials. , maybe he is going to deceive you and fool you to block Yoyo's mouth!"
Pang Xiao was stunned, "No, after all, he is the emperor, even if he can't get it again, he won't be able to get a few trucks of fake food."
"The food isn't fake, so shouldn't it be silver?" Qin Yining raised an eyebrow at him.
