Chapter 244: Cannon Fodder Who Was Confiscated and Exiled at the Beginning 19
244, the cannon fodder who was confiscated and exiled at the beginning 19
The little white dog of the Wheel of Time reminded Jin Xiuxiu, "Xiu'er, the Prime Minister is here."
Jin Xiuxiu came back to her senses from the storybook and put the last hawthorn into her mouth.
The icing sugar-coated slag made a crunching sound as he bit it in his mouth, and then he swallowed it.
He straightened his body and started to act seriously.
When the prime minister went to court and saw the emperor, he was filled with hatred when he thought of the emperor having an affair with the prime minister's wife.
He decided to contact Lu Beihou to prepare a way out for himself.
In case the adulterous couple planned to murder him, he would have a place to escape.
After the court session, the prime minister went to the location given to him by Lu Beihou's people.
I met Lu Beihou's people and talked with them for a long time.
I sent a few unimportant messages to establish contact.
The prime minister walked on the road with an expressionless face.
Jin Xiuxiu raised her eyelids and said, "Sir, I see that you have a cheating crush on me. Would you like to read my fortune?"
The prime minister looked at Jin Xiuxiu with a gloomy expression, "Do you know how to speak? How can you speak like that?"
Jin Xiuxiu raised her finger and pointed at the cloth with the words "fortune-telling" written on it. "Fortune-telling, one hundred taels, and I'll give you a solution."
The prime minister turned around and left without changing his expression.
Jin Xiuxiu, "My lord, your head is really glowing green right now. The green light is rising into the sky. It seems that the person who cheated on you is of very high status."
The Prime Minister turned around and looked at Jin Xiuxiu gloomily, "Do you have a solution?"
Jin Xiuxiu moved closer to the Prime Minister and whispered.
"I got a good medicine.
As long as one of the adulterers takes the pill, as long as the two of them are close, the other party will also be infected with the same pill. "
The prime minister's heart moved, "Is there really such a pill?"
Jin Xiuxiu, "I guarantee it. I guarantee that you will become weaker and weaker after eating it. As long as you are ruthless enough, I will send you away."
The prime minister remained calm and asked, "How can you prove the efficacy of the medicine?"
Jin Xiuxiu was speechless, "Do you want one? One thousand taels each."
Prime Minister, "One thousand taels for one pill, you are robbing money."
One thousand and two taels for a pill, and this pill is made of gold?
Jin Xiuxiu, “Just one pill.
I opened one and ate it, and then I ate it all and sent the man away."
The Prime Minister said expressionlessly, "Give me one."
Jin Xiuxiu had a blank expression on her face and held out her hand. "One thousand taels, a sincere favor."
The prime minister took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and handed it to Jin Xiuxiu, then left with a pill.
Jin Xiuxiu took the banknote and said happily to the Time and Space Wheel Little White Dog,
"I love silver, and silver loves me.
Kong Kong, let’s go to the silver shop to exchange silver.
After we exchange the money, we can go to the largest restaurant in Kyoto for a meal."
The little white dog in the wheel of time laughed loudly, "It's time for a feast."
……
Xiao Liuliu hid in Duke Xiao's mansion and dared not go out.
The Queen sent someone to Duke Xiao's mansion to tell her to come into the palace.
Xiao Liuliu knew that if her aunt the Queen asked her to enter the palace, she would definitely scold her.
If she went there, she would not only be scolded, but would also most likely be punished.
She claimed to be ill and did not want to go, and did not dare to see the queen.
The queen called the father of Xiao Liuliu, the son of Duke Xiao, into the palace and gave him a scolding.
The Prince of Duke Xiao returned home and went to Xiao Liuliu's courtyard.
He scolded Xiao Liuliu and asked her to go to the palace quickly.
He was summoned by his aunt, the Queen, and had to crawl into the palace even though he was sick.
Xiao Liuliu could only go to the palace to meet her aunt the Queen.
After being scolded in the palace, the Queen asked Xiao Liuliu to return home and reflect on her mistakes.
Xiao Liuliu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Queen Aunt didn't have anyone beat her.
Go back to Duke Xiao’s mansion and reflect on your mistakes.
……
Concubine Xian seized the opportunity and sent people to spread gossip about the prince among the people.
He asked his subordinates to write 800 storybooks for the Crown Prince and Xiao Liuliu to spread.
He was prepared to add fuel to the fire for the prince and seize the opportunity to ruin his reputation.
The second prince also took the opportunity to secretly win over court officials.
The struggle between the crown prince and the second prince in the court became more intense.
……
The people sent by the emperor to kill Marquis Lu Bei never returned, so more people were sent.
At the same time, more and more voices were heard in the court urging the punishment of Marquis Lu Bei.
The emperor didn't want to really fight.
Because he had used all the silver in the national treasury to build his palace, there was no silver left for the war.
But we can't just leave Lu Beihou alone.
If he ignores Lu Beihou, who openly rebelled, he will lose face.
I was in a dilemma for a moment.
At this time, the Prime Minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think there may be a mistake in Lu Beihou's case.
At the beginning, there was no real evidence.
Marquis Lu Bei fled because he was angry for a while. Your Majesty can first send someone to persuade Marquis Lu Bei to return to Kyoto to review the case."
The emperor was extremely angry. Of course he knew that Marquis Lu Bei had not colluded with the enemy or committed treason.
How dare the Prime Minister say that?
The emperor said with a gloomy face, "The Prime Minister believes that Marquis Lu Bei is not guilty?"
The prime minister remained calm as the emperor used all the money in the national treasury to build the temporary palace.
The emperor was afraid of going to war, fearing that he would not be able to come up with the money.
Then it was revealed that the emperor had misappropriated money to build a temporary palace.
By then, everyone will know what kind of person the emperor is.
Therefore, he proposed to surrender and had already found an excuse.
“Your Majesty, whether Marquis Lu Bei is guilty or not can be investigated later.
Now let’s persuade Lu Beihou to come back to Kyoto first, and then we can investigate the case slowly.
Sending troops to suppress the enemy is a waste of money and manpower, wouldn’t it be better if we could avoid the escalation of war?”
When the emperor heard this, he thought it made sense. He decided to trick Marquis Lu Bei back first.
He frowned, "Can Marquis Lu Bei really agree to surrender?"
Prime Minister, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is generous in giving Marquis Lu Bei a chance.
As for whether Marquis Lu Bei will accept it, I think we can send someone who is close to Marquis Lu Bei."
Your Majesty, "Do you have a candidate for Prime Minister?"
The Prime Minister frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I am not familiar with Marquis Lu Bei. I don't know who Marquis Lu Bei is closer to."
When the emperor heard this, he agreed. The prime minister had been in Kyoto and had no chance to meet Marquis Lu Bei.
You might not even recognize Lu Beihou if you see him.
He looked at the courtiers below, "Who has a suitable candidate?"
The prince had just lost face and was looking for an opportunity to show off, so he stood up.
"Father, I suggest that you send the Minister of War.
Marquis Lu Bei had always stayed in the northern border and had little contact with the court officials.
Only the Minister of War was able to have a few words with Marquis Lu Bei."
The emperor nodded, "Marquis Lu Bei indeed met with the Minister of War the most times."
Every year, the two of them would meet for military matters.
When the officials of the prince's faction saw that the prince had spoken, they all came out to support him.
The emperor looked at the Minister of War and said, "Minister of War, are you willing to go and recruit Marquis Lu Bei?"
The Minister of War wanted to say that the Emperor and the Crown Prince had just said that Marquis Lu Bei was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.
Now that Lu Beihou has fled back to the northern border, he wants to recruit them. Will Lu Beihou agree?
Also, he is not familiar with Lu Beihou.
"Your Majesty, I have only discussed official business with Marquis Lu Bei, and we have no personal relationship. I am not sure I can recruit Marquis Lu Bei."
