Ji Zeyu glared at Pang Xiao with a smile, and found it amusing himself, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I can't help but talk a lot when I see you."
Pang Xiao couldn't help sighing, Ji Zeyu's life was different from his.
Even during the period when he and Qin Yining were forced to separate, his heart still kept a longing for each other. He knew that Qin Yining was silently paying for him, and he had a direction and a head to work even if he did things. But Ji Zeyu is not as lucky as him...
Pang Xiao said: "If you have time, come to me for a drink later. If you can't walk through the main entrance, you can climb over the wall. I will tell the guards back and don't stop you if they find you are over the wall."
"You're good, you are not allowed to go through the main entrance when you invite someone to drink."
"Hey, how can you misrepresent people like that?"
The brothers joked with each other, and the meal lasted until midnight.
When Ji Zeyu was leaving, Pang Xiao thought about it and said, "Why don't you practice jumping over the wall first today."
Outside the palace, Li Qitian must have arranged for spies. Ji Zeyu had been here for so long, and he went out struttingly, fearing that he would be returned to Li Qitian.
They were both military commanders and Li Qitian's sworn brothers. What did they study after being together for so long
Pang Xiao didn't want Li Qitian to misunderstand Ji Zeyu. In case his face is torn apart one day, I don't want Ji Zeyu to be involved for no reason.
Ji Zeyu immediately understood what Pang Xiao was thinking.
"I've been drinking a lot today, so I shouldn't jump over the wall. I'll just go through the door."
Pang Xiao choked on Ji Zeyu's words, pulled his sleeve and said, "You still listen to me."
"No, I know your good intentions." Ji Zeyu smiled, "It's alright, I'll be leaving now, and I'll come to your wall next time I want to climb higher."
Pang Xiao was amused by Ji Zeyu and laughed.
Since Ji Zeyu didn't care, he was no longer interested in being a child, so he sent the person to the second door with a smile.
Ji Zeyu stopped him: "Go back, you will be raised well."
Seeing that Ji Zeyu had returned to his former cold and frosty appearance, Pang Xiao also nodded in cooperation, covered his mouth and coughed twice: "Then I won't send it."
"Stay on."
The two said goodbye.
Pang Xiao watched Ji Zeyu stride away, and then returned to the main room.
As soon as Ji Zeyu left the palace, he was immediately reported back to Li Qitian.
Li Qitian was about to go to bed, when he heard the words, he sneered and sent the spies down.
Most of the drowsiness that had surged up suddenly disappeared, and Li Qitian walked on the ground with his dragon robe in his hands, and didn't rest until midnight.
What happened in the courtroom was naturally not heard by the people.
However, it seemed that Duke Chang could not be reconciled if his impeachment failed, and he impeached Pang Xiao again the next day.
The content of the impeachment this time is still the same as the last time, and the officials are also the same, making the high-ranking emperor even feel that they have prepared the article in private and memorized it.
Li Qitian was still unable to convict Pang Xiao, and left another sentence to be investigated.
At this time, most of the people in the court were watching the attitude of the Holy Sage and Prince Zhongshun in order to make the best judgment.
And the news that Pang Xiao was impeached twice, somehow spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
Li Qitian was originally angry and delayed his return to Beijing, but because public opinion could not cure his crime, now that he has been impeached on a large scale twice, even if he can't nod his head, he can still sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and those who watch the play are watching it right It's exciting, but I don't want this matter to be publicized.
Going to meet Pang Xiao in person, and seeing with his own eyes many people who fainted, Pang Xiao, a great hero, has already cast a tragic color.
Not only the common people, but Pang Xiao's subordinates and some former troops, including the Hu Ben army, are all sighing and injustice for Pang Xiao. Now that such a thing has happened, the unhappiness in the heart has risen a few steps again, for the people who are injustice for Pang Xiao.
No matter what the people are talking about, many officials in the DPRK don't care.
What they care more about is Pang Xiao's reaction.
Although Pang Xiao claimed that he was ill and had not participated in the court meeting for a long time, they did not believe it. Pang Xiao knew nothing about the news meeting from the outside world. He clearly knew his situation, but he still refused to say a word. Could it be that he was already afraid
Many people think that Pang Xiao is learning to bow his head and keep a low profile. Thinking about it, he also felt the danger of Gong Gao shocking the Lord, so before the Holy Master had moved, he had already taken advantage of the situation.
Such thoughts are not unique to one person. Pang Xiao used to be a tyrannical character, but now he has changed into a person. He only lies in the house all day to recover, even if someone makes trouble unreasonably, he doesn't care. This kind of behavior can be compared with the tough people in the past. It's completely different, it's like a different person.
It can be seen that even big heroes have to bow their heads in front of imperial power.
The officials seemed to have been beaten for a while.
In their eyes, Pang Xiao's silence became evidence of his confession. The more silent Pang Xiao was, the louder their impeachment voices would be at court meetings, and the content of the impeachment was varied. He even said that in the early years, Pang Xiao led the Hu Ben army to attack Yan. During the dynasty, the farmer's fields that had been trampled by horses were torn out. What's more, Pang Xiao was described as a bully who bullied men and women.
Among these people, Pang Xiao changed from a hero who made great contributions to the founding of the Zhou Dynasty to a mountain bandit leader who did all kinds of evil in order to enrich his own pockets.
Not to mention that Li Qitian can only listen to the impeachment, but can't nod his depression.
These impeachment voices, after all, have caused dissatisfaction among some people.
Among these people, there are both civil servants and military generals, and most of them have worked with Pang Xiao, or are former subordinates of Pang Xiao. They knew Pang Xiao's character and admired his actions. They never imagined that he was dedicated to serving the country at the beginning, but now he would end up like this. He was impeached so tragically, and the sage did not stop this group of idiots from talking nonsense!
No matter how thick a towering tree is, it can't stand these moths chewing on it all day long.
Many people feel chilled, and even wonder if they will fall into this situation one day in the future.
At this time, Li Qitian only wanted to see Pang Xiao's jokes, but ignored it.
"My lord, you are not in good health, but those mad dogs started to bark! Brothers are really holding on to you!"
In the palace, a few Pang Xiao once came to visit with the subordinates of the Hu Ben Army. Seeing that Pang Xiao was wearing a half-new azure wide-sleeved long gown, it made him look like a scholar, and he was not as weak as a battlefield. The majestic appearance when killing the enemy.
Several people felt more and more sad.
"When the lord took us to kill the enemy, those shameless things were still in the bed of the girls! Now it's just to deceive the lord and refuse to say a word, and he has no military power, so is the Holy One, so let that group of people come here!"
Pang Xiao smiled and waved his hand to stop the conversation.
"Don't talk about state affairs, and don't talk about the Holy One."
Pang Xiao's gentle appearance formed a strong contrast with the domineering appearance in the past. In these eyes, Pang Xiao was obviously suppressed by the saint and couldn't raise his head, and even his arrogance was almost worn away.
When they left the palace, everyone's eyes turned red.
"Fuck, what the hell is this!"
"Those who are loyal to the country will not be rewarded! You look at the prince's food, clothing and housing, and the deserted people in the palace. The family is almost extinct!"
"My lord's illness may also be related to the death of his family. The wang ye's twin sons... Hey, it's a pity!"
…
The discussion is not just on a small scale.
Soon, such discussions spread from Pang Xiao's former followers and die-hard loyalists, and gradually spread among the common people. The image of Pang Xiao's tragic hero once again scratched a thick stroke in everyone's mind.
Both Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue persuaded Pang Xiao.
"Your Highness is in a dire situation now, so let's make plans early. The matter has come to this point, and the uncertainty may hurt the name."
"Yeah, lord, looking at the way of the sage, no matter what the lord is, the old man feels chilled. If he really is a hero who is firmly seated in the country, why should he guard against a person who has no two hearts to such a point, and refuses to give a happy?"
Not only did Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi persuade Pang Xiao to come up with an idea in disguise, but even the guards of the elite tigers had their spirits up to 120,000 points and treated Pang Xiao and Qin Yining's house like an iron bucket guarded by the upper court.
Tang Xiu's face has been tense these days, and she and Hu Zi got together to discuss the defense and layout of the palace.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had lunch and wandered in the Taoist academy, Tang Xiu and Hu Zi immediately followed them, looking nervously preparing for battle.
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? This is in our own home, so there's no need to do that, right?"
Tang Xiu had a sullen face, frowning and said: "Back to the lord, even in the mansion, you can't take it lightly. If someone can impeach the lord behind his back, someone may order someone to assassinate the lord, even in the capital, It's not all peaceful now."
Qin Yining, Bingtang and Jiyun looked at each other, but didn't say anything.
Qin Yining was very satisfied with the result. It seems that after the promotion of a tragic hero, the grievances suffered by Pang Xiao have been magnified countless times in everyone's hearts, and the people close to him are even more upset for Pang Xiao. It's just that at the feet of the emperor, some words can't be said directly.
This is the purpose of Qin Yining's plan. She wants to give Pang Xiao a good reputation and establish a tall image. No matter what direction things will develop in the future, and no matter what the final result is, she will not allow Pang Xiao to bear the burden. infamy.
Just as the servants of the palace and the guards of Jinghu were holding their breath, there were also many people outside the palace who were upset about Prince Zhongshun who was recovering from illness. A post was sent to the palace of Prince Zhongshun by the steward of Uncle Zhongyi.
Qin Yining heard that someone from the Lu family was coming, so she went to the front hall in person.
"Princess." The steward of the Lu family saluted respectfully, held the post with both hands, and said, "The villain is here to send you a wedding invitation on the order of my uncle. My uncle's wedding will be on the eighth day of the next month, and I will invite the prince at that time. , The princess went to the banquet in person and had a glass of wedding wine."
