"You!" Li Qitian blinked at Pang Xiao's words, although these truths were obvious, he understood in his heart. But when Pang Xiao said this, it would still seem that he was making trouble just now.
Li Qitian felt that his majesty as an emperor was violated. He strode forward angrily, grabbed Pang Xiao's collar, leaned over to his ear and asked sharply:
"Pang Xiao! You are going to rebel!"
Pang Xiao looked directly at Li Qitian calmly, and said solemnly: "If my minister is bothered, why don't he fall into the situation where his daughter-in-law is taken away and he will take the blame for others?"
"What do you mean by that!"
Li Qitian's eyes were full of anger, and Pang Xiaoming was clearly telling him that if he wanted to rebel, Li Qitian would not be able to sit on the current throne!
This is really outrageous, but what is even more hateful is that this is a truth that anyone with discernment can see, and when Pang Xiao said this, the servants in the room and the two old ministers could hear it clearly.
Pang Xiao is hitting him in the face!
Li Qitian's face was red and his ears were red, and the hand holding Pang Xiao's neck couldn't help shaking, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Pang Xiao said sadly: "Big Brother, you and I are sworn brothers, what do I think, Big Brother doesn't know? I was able to accept the Qin family regardless of the revenge of killing my father, precisely because of my love for her. If not I really love her, how could I let the enemy's daughter enter the door and recognize the enemy as my father-in-law
"It's all over. I don't want to care anymore. I've been born and died with my eldest brother for so many years, and now I'm finally stable. I also want to live a stable life, but whoever thinks that we just got married, Qin's family will be arrested. After taking it away, now that bastard Siqin is still inexplicably saying that Qin Shi was the murderer who assassinated Anari!
"Red mouth and white teeth, what does he say? I don't believe it! I don't accept it!"
Pang Xiao looked like a cornered child who had been bullied and had nowhere to go. He sat on the ground helplessly, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry.
He blinded Li Qitian like this.
A person who was arrogant and stern in normal times, who killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and who everyone called "Sha embryo", now looks like a helpless child, such a strong contrast, so that Li Qitian didn't know what to do for a while. Well, it seems that if you blame Pang Xiao again, it will appear that you, the king, are too merciless.
As for Pang Xiao's weakness at this time, Li Guanwen and others, who were kneeling on the ground, were also stunned. They couldn't help but feel that the hero was saddened by Meirenguan, a character like a loyal prince and an overlord, but now there are times when a hero is short of breath.
Qin Huaiyuan glanced at the aggrieved son-in-law from the corner of his eyes, and then glanced at Li Qitian again. He couldn't help laughing in his heart, but there was no clue on his face.
Pang Xiao's way of doing things has always been like this. Sometimes, Li Qitian should be swearing in front of Li Qitian. If he says he resists the decree, he will stubbornly resist the decree. On the one hand, people feel full of sympathy for him. For the sake of his own reputation, Li Qitian would not be able to punish him no matter what.
In this way, you can maximize your own interests.
Qin Huaiyuan kowtowed at the right time, and said sincerely: "Sacred Lord, calm down, Prince Zhongshun is too worried these days, his heart is full of anger, and his words are a little rushed. Please also consider his infatuation, don't care about him. The child is angry."
Li Qitian gritted his teeth.
Child temper? People in their twenties, folks of this age are the fathers of several children, and they are too embarrassed to say that it is a child's temper!
But if he really cares about Pang Xiao at this time, wouldn't he become someone who cares about children? In the minister's heart, he must feel that he is not a mature person.
Moreover, after losing his temper, Li Qitian also calmed down.
He couldn't hold Pang Xiao responsible at this time. Because he is a bright monarch, not a foolish monarch, he cannot ignore his reputation outside. What's more, the Tatar's current table found that the intention of the southern invasion is very obvious, and it is impossible to say when it will be necessary to use Pang Xiao to fight the enemy.
The two generals, Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu, are Da Zhou's current Zhenhai Shenzhen. With them, he has more confidence. Otherwise, if there is a large imperial court, the courtiers are divided into several factions, the treasury is empty, and the treasure has not been found. If there is no military general who can compete with Siqin, how can he sit on the throne in the future
Furthermore, even if he disliked Pang Xiao and wanted him to die, he wouldn't let people see his intentions on the bright side and make an evaluation of murdering the hero. There are thousands of ways for him to want Pang Xiao's life, and it is really wise to do it when no one else knows about it.
Thinking of this, Li Qitian supported Pang Xiao with both hands, pulled him up, and said to Qin Huaiyuan and Lu Ge, "Get up. I was too anxious for a while. Li Guanwen, take a seat."
"Yes."
The palace people were busy, quickly and orderly came forward to arrange the seats, and then helped the trembling old Lu Ge to get up and take the seat.
Pang Xiao also sat in the first place, bowing his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Li Qitian said: "No matter whether there is an assassination or not, Siqin's propaganda like this is already very unfavorable for us Da Zhou in terms of external public opinion. I think that Siqin is a drunkard's meaning and not drinking."
"Sacred is holy." Qin Huaiyuan stood up and saluted: "In my humble opinion, Prince Zhongshun's analysis just now makes sense, and Siqin is very likely to be a source of misfortune to stir up disputes. His ambitions are not limited to Tartars. ."
Li Qitian nodded.
Thinking back carefully on Siqin's journey, he was able to get to this position, it seems that it was entirely by his own planning. He used Anari to build a springboard, climbed to a high position step by step, and finally removed the springboard, and he was able to do it by himself. Take the top seat.
Perhaps Lu Heng and Qin Yining just happened to catch up and took the blame.
Even if the two of them hadn't been caught, Siqin would probably have said that he would try to frame the blame on Da Zhou, thus provoking a dispute. He used the call to help him carry the blame. The bad things are done by others. Not only can he be a khan himself, but he can also earn a good reputation for caring for his wife.
This person is really clever, and Li Qitian can't help but be convinced.
"Then according to Qin Aiqing's wishes, what should we do now?" Li Qitian looked at Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Huaiyuan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "For the time being, no matter who killed Anari Khan, the dirty water of Siqin has already been broken for us. The old minister thought that it was time to prepare for Siqin in advance. When planning the next step, the old minister felt that Prince Zhongshun's analysis was reasonable, and Siqin might take the opportunity to invade the south. There are two gods of war in Dazhou, so naturally he is not afraid of Siqin, but the old minister knows that the poor people are the common people."
Li Qitian nodded immediately.
Qin Huaiyuan's suggestion was right in his heart.
Not only because they feel bad for the people, but more importantly, if they want to fight, they have no money!
Da Zhou is now only a surface light, but in fact it is already very empty inside. To go to war, people eat horses and horses, where is there no need for money? But where did the money come from
If you can find treasure, that's not to mention. The problem is that no one knows where the treasure is now.
Li Qitian was thinking about the treasure in his heart, and worried about the war. For a while, he forgot the blame of Lu Heng and Qin Yining, and dragged Qin Huaiyuan, Lu Gelao and Pang Xiao to discuss it very late before letting the three go back. . As soon as they left, they immediately ordered Li Guanwen: "Go, ask Consort Ji to come to the palace."
Now Li Qitian trusts Ji Zeyu most.
Outside the palace gate, Lu Ge was directly carried into the carriage.
Qin Huaiyuan and Pang Xiao politely sent Lu Gelao's carriage away before heading towards their own carriage.
Pang Xiao took the opportunity to whisper: "Father-in-law, we have to find a way to save Sister Yi. I see what the sage means, if the assassination happens, he is likely to put all the blame on Sister Yi and Lu Heng. . Sacrificing two people and paying a little less is still a lot cheaper than starting a war."
"I think so too. It's a pity that after Jing Zhe and the others returned to Beijing, they were under surveillance along with other spies. I have no one to use for the time being."
"Father-in-law, what do you think? I have someone available. One hundred elite tiger guards are all my irons, and their character can be trusted."
Qin Huai said far: "Then trouble your people to go to Tatar, find Sister Yi, and protect them personally. But you can't let them go back to Da Zhoulai, temporarily wait in Tatar for a while, and wait and see what happens."
"Okay. It's just what my father-in-law said." Pang Xiao nodded, and then said with a sense of loss: "If it is possible, I really hope I can go by myself. I don't worry about anyone else going."
Qin Huaiyuan patted Pang Xiao's shoulder, "Keep calm. The more critical it is, the less you can't panic. If we all panic. If Sister Yi is outside, I don't know what to do. Do you think so?"
Pang Xiao nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Father-in-law said yes."
The two got into the carriage separately and did not dare to leave together, but each went in their own direction.
As soon as Qin Huaiyuan returned to Qin Mansion, he first went to the upper room to visit the sick old lady.
"Mother." Qin Huaiyuan saluted.
The old lady leaned on a large soft throw pillow and took a mouthful of the white fungus soup that Qin mama fed her to moisten her throat. Then she said, "I'm back. But you have other business to do?"
"No big deal. Mother is feeling better?"
"Okay. It's much better." The old lady nodded with a smile, "The imperial doctor invited this time is very skilled in medicine, and Meng Ge'er will thank others when he looks back."
"My son knows." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded.
The second lady and the second grandmother, who were waiting for the illness, laughed and joked, "The old lady's illness will be half cured after seeing the uncle, and if the imperial doctor will take a look, it will naturally be completely cured."
"You two spooky monkeys." The old lady laughed teasingly, turned to look at Qin Huining and Qin Baoning who were serving on the side, and said again, "Jie Hui and the eighth girl should go and rest, and don't do it. Follow me here, no more sickness."
Qin Huining and Eighth Young Lady Qin Baoning knew that this was the old lady who had something to say and told them to avoid it.
