The most powerful minister in the world

"You are not allowed to plead for him later, I have my own plan."

Zuo Que still stroked his beard and said nothing. Yun Gong pointed at him with a smile and said: "You old fool, let the one at the door come in."

"Your Majesty has a decree, please reply in Jingxi Palace~"

Jingxi, who was kneeling on the red carpet at the door, bounced his feet to get snow slag and stepped in. His eyes kept rolling on Zuo Que's back. He didn't kneel down again until he got to Zuo Que's side and said: " His Majesty."

"Well, I heard from your father that you were injured. Why do I see you more energetic than before?"

"Your Majesty, the injury I suffered was only a minor injury, not to mention that with Your Majesty thinking about me, I will naturally recover faster."

If he had heard Jingxi's nonsense normally, Emperor Qianyang would have been so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear, but today he had to be tense, firstly because Jingxi violated his will and openly ran away to resist the marriage, and secondly because he Last night, Li Junhao was lynched regardless of the country's face. The reason for this was because Zuo Que was present.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jingxi felt confused again as soon as he stood up. He muttered, "Your Majesty, I'm a little thirsty. I don't know..."

Hearing this, Zuo Que's ears on the side twitched. Emperor Qianyang glanced at it, suddenly swept the chessboard off the table, and shouted sternly: "Do you know what serious crimes you have done! "

Everyone in the hall saw Emperor Qianyang getting angry and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Yun Gong squinted at Jing Xi who was kneeling on the ground, let out a deep breath, asked Zuo Que to sit down, pointed at Jing Xi, and lectured: "Look at you, after you have achieved a little bit of merit, your butt is sticking up to the sky. , what’s the matter, I’ve wronged you by granting you a marriage, haven’t you, but you actually want to run away, now it’s become known all over the city, I’ve lost face to you!”

"I just can't be happy. Your Majesty wants to reward me with a woman. If I don't want it, I will find it myself."

"How outrageous!" Yun Gong was pushed by Jing Xi and jumped off the couch, looking around for something as if to hit Jing Xi.

Seeing this, Zuo Que quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. If there is anything wrong with General Jing, you can just ask him. Don't beat him, so as not to hurt the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, your Majesty."

"Listen to what he said. Why don't you ask me to be angry?"

Jingxi still stared at the floor without lowering his head and said, "That's right, I just don't like it!"

"I...I...I must teach you a lesson today." Emperor Qianyang angrily pulled out the sword beside the couch and walked towards Jingxi. The eunuch Tan Si hugged him in fear. He grabbed his thigh and tried to dissuade him with snot and tears: "Your Majesty, General Jing is a meritorious minister, you can't kill him~"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calm down, this kid... This kid is at least honest. Don't argue with him." Zuo Que also stood up and stood in front of Jing Xi, his two long sleeves dangling. He almost hit the furnace cauldron.

"Your Majesty wants to kill me, but I will not resist. I am just unconvinced. Why should I stay in the capital? I want to return to southern Xinjiang."

Yun Gong pulled Zuo Que away and said, "You can't imitate your brother. Do you want to make me angry to death by talking to me like this?"

"I absolutely don't dare. I just hope that your majesty can change the reward."

"What do you think of me? What I say is just water thrown out. There is no possibility of changing it!"

"Then your Majesty should kill me."

Yun Gong was so angry that he was trembling all over. He looked around, took one last look at the sword, gritted his teeth, held it with both hands, raised it and slashed at Jing Xi's head.

Zuo Que stepped forward with quick eyes and hands, took Yun Gong's hands and pulled them, and murmured anxiously: "Your Majesty, the most important weapon of the country, the most important weapon of the country!"

"Get started, I want you to get started!"

Yun Gong had not held a sword for many years, and the strength in his hand was naturally not as strong as before. After several struggles, the sword came out of his hand and flew straight towards Jingxi. The sound of the sword falling to the ground echoed in the hall. Inside, everything seemed to have returned to silence.

The right side of Jingxi's face was scratched by the sword, and two traces of blood flowed down, staining the white undershirt under his neck red.

Yun Gong and Zuo Que were both stunned on the spot, but at this moment Jingxi moved. He knelt down and walked to the sword, raised his hands high above his head without saying a word.

Yun Gong furrowed his brows, panted heavily, pushed aside Zuo Que, and walked down the stairs to Jing Xi. His eyes seemed a little distressed, but his mouth said mercilessly: "Put it down."

Jingxi put the sword by his side, put his hands on his knees and lowered his head. Yun Gong saw that his anger was gone and he said lightly: "I will never rely on you in this matter. As for whether you want to go back Southern Xinjiang, when did I say that I would force you to stay in the capital?"

"My lord...I understand."

Yun Gong frowned and rolled his eyes sideways at him, took out the yellow handkerchief from his sleeve and threw it casually in front of him and said, "Wipe it, don't make the blanket I just laid out dirty."

Yun Gong sat back on the couch, rubbed his brows and said, "I won't blame you for your merits, but if I don't punish you for lynching Li Junhao, it will definitely affect the two countries this time." negotiation."

"Jingxi listens."

Jingxi bowed his hands and said, "I'm here."

"Strip away all your positions and become a student in the Imperial College."

Zuo Que on the side widened his eyes, then calmed down after thinking about it, and the corners of his eyes slanted downward while stroking his beard.

"Why, are you still planning to resist the decree?"

Jingxi's cheeks had bulged out, and his nails were dug into his flesh. It seemed like he had to use a lot of strength to squeeze out the words "Thank you for your gratitude" through his teeth.

"Come here, I'll serve you two cups of tea. Prime Minister Zuo said you've been thirsty all morning, right?"

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I am indeed thirsty."

After a while, two eunuchs brought tea to Yun Gong and Zuo Que. Yun Gong gave Jing Xi a look and said, "You were clamoring for water as soon as you came here. Don't tell me that I didn't even give you a glass of water." After saying that, he pointed at Jingxi, and the eunuch handed the tea cup to Jingxi. Jingxi drank it all in one gulp, not caring about the tea burning his mouth, and put it back on the tea tray after drinking.

"Your Majesty, this tea is bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste is endlessly sweet. I wonder if I can give some to you?"

Yun Gong laughed loudly and said: "You, you are said to be a veteran, but you really don't care about it? Are you greedy and greedy for me? That's all, that's all. You worked hard for me on the southern tour, so take it with you when you leave. Let’s walk some more.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This tea reminds me that in the autumn of the eighth year of Qianyang, Your Majesty occasionally felt the wind and cold, which made him angry. After General Jing heard about it, he went to the mountain to drink Kuding for His Majesty. At that time, I remember, General Jing Only ten years old, but not afraid of the giant insects in the mountains..."

"Okay, okay, you need to pretend to be a good person here. Jingxi, I have watched you grow up. The girl I have chosen for you is definitely the most decent one in the world. You will never complain again when the time comes. ."

"You have nothing to do here. Go down. Remember, you don't need to interfere in the negotiations between the two countries. Otherwise, I will never let you go."

"I understand..." Jingxi said and picked up the sword beside his knees again.

Yun Gong pointed to Tan Si at the scabbard on the shelf and then at Jing Xi. Tan Si immediately sent the hilt of the sword to Jing Xi and whispered: "General Jing, His Majesty has rewarded you with this sword. Hurry up." Give thanks.”

Jingxi put the sword back into the scabbard, stood up, bowed and bowed and walked out of the hall without saying a word, while Tan Si kept looking out.

Yun Gong looked at the dark spot on the blanket and sighed: "Complain, hate..."

Zuo Que sipped his tea and smacked his lips, rubbing the tea lid with his fingers and pretending to be mute again.
