The General Is As Urgent As Law

Before Jiang Ye could speak, the news of Xue Changfeng's death spread into the palace.The emperor had a complicated expression on his old face, and Jiang also looked at him quietly. It was not easy to bring up the matter of the kit, so he had to let it go.

"Let the third child and the ninth child go and have a look." The emperor said hoarsely, and said to Mugong, "After all, he is his nephew, and he also expresses his heart for me."

"Yes..." Hearing this, Eunuch Mu immediately turned around to do it.

Doctor Li hesitated at the side for a while, seeing that the emperor's always bad complexion paled a little after hearing the news, he didn't know for a while whether he should continue asking for pulse or leave Anshang Hall first.

Jiang Ye, on the other hand, choked back half of what he had said, and was feeling uncomfortable right now.Seeing the embarrassing appearance of Imperial Physician Li, Jiang also said softly, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Imperial Physician Li to take the pulse first?"

"No need." The emperor coughed dryly twice, "no need today, you should step back first."

Imperial Physician Li had no choice but to nod his head, bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

After Li Taiyi left, the emperor leaned on the soft bed, and Jiang stood aside. The Anshang Hall was quiet, and the atmosphere seemed a little more dignified than usual.If so, the emperor probably thought of Xue Changfeng's well-being, Jiang also thought.

"You just said, is there anything you want to show me?" After a long while, the emperor suddenly asked.

Jiang Yezheng was stunned, but was brought back to his senses by the words, and said in a daze, "Ah? No, no..."

The emperor took a deep look at him, didn't ask any more questions, and instead said, "Help me up."

"Yes."

Jiang Ye stepped forward cautiously, helped the emperor to lie down, put on his shoes, and helped him get up.The emperor is actually very reluctant to walk around daily now, the poison is really powerful, for half a month, the emperor is getting old every day.

"Help me to the main hall."

"Yes."

The emperor spent less and less time awake every day, most of the time he was on the couch, resting between half asleep and half awake.It has been a long time since the early court was held again, and the courtiers talked about it, even Jiang who stayed in the Anshang Palace heard about it.

And every time the emperor woke up and chatted with Jiang Ye, he would go to the main hall to read the mountain of memorials.Jiang also looked at it and really felt that being an emperor was not as good as the common people outside thought.It can even be said that they are not as comfortable as they are.Perhaps it was for this reason that the emperor liked to listen to him gossiping about trivial matters outside, especially at home.

He helped the emperor carefully out of the side hall. Perhaps the emperor was really lacking in strength, his legs were not high enough, and he was caught by the threshold, and his whole body leaned forward, looking like he was about to fall to the ground.

Jiang also didn't even think about it, and hurriedly hugged him, but he didn't have time to stop his falling trend.He reacted quickly, grabbed the emperor's hand and pulled it towards him, using his strength to change positions with the emperor.Then it became his back on the ground, and the emperor fell on top of him.

Jiang also cursed in a moment of impatience: "Be careful, you don't look at your body, how can you stand up to a fall!"

As he spoke, he helped the emperor up, and after confirming that there was nothing serious about him, he breathed a sigh of relief.The emperor looked at him with a strange light in his eyes.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have uttered wild words just now and committed a crime of disrespect.Jiang also helped the emperor, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "The emperor forgives the sin, but the servant offended the emperor in a moment of impatience!"

The emperor stood where he was and didn't speak for a long time.

Jiang also lowered his head, not knowing what he meant, but just waiting for him to speak.The longer he waited, the more uneasy he became, fearing that he would wait for the sentence "Put it out and behead it for public display".When he really couldn't stand the torment, he slowly raised his head and gave the emperor a careful look.

Then the emperor said: "I won't blame you."

"...Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Why do you care about me so much?" the emperor asked with a strange expression.

Jiang Ye was still kneeling on the ground, and could only truthfully say, "I... my slave is just... in a hurry..."

"Why are you so anxious?"

"This...of course it will be urgent."

"But you and I are not related or because of each other." The emperor said slowly.

"Because the emperor's health is not good..." Jiang didn't know what he wanted to ask, so he had to say something perfunctory.The emperor then asked: "If you were someone else, would you do the same?"

"Yes." Jiang said without hesitation.

"Get up." The emperor said softly, "There is no need to kneel."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang also got up from the ground with smooth movements, and helped the emperor to go to the main hall.

A lot of candles were lit in the main hall, and it looked bright. The emperor sat at the table, carefully reading the memorials.Jiang also stood aside and had nothing else to do, so he started to feel sleepy, covered his mouth and yawned silently.

"Sleepy?" The emperor asked suddenly, his eyes still on the booklet in his hand.

"Go back to the emperor, don't be sleepy." Jiang Ye said.

He closed the folder in his hand, threw it aside without any criticism, and turned to look at Jiang Ye.

"You are kind-hearted." The emperor said suddenly.

"Ah? I don't quite understand what the emperor means." Jiang also bowed.

I have been by the emperor's side for a long time, perhaps because I am afraid that one day the emperor will not

Yue took his life, and Jiang also became more proficient in these etiquette.Over time, calling yourself a "minion" also became less important.But then the emperor said: "I promise you don't have to call yourself a 'slave', after all you are not."

"..." Jiang didn't know how to answer, and the emperor didn't need him to answer. He continued on his own: "If I order you to tell the purpose of entering the palace, will you tell me?"

"Don't you say you will die?" Jiang Ye asked with a sad face.

"meeting."

"Then I can only say..."

When the emperor saw his appearance, he was unexpectedly amused, and some put down the majesty of the royal family, and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"You all go down." After the emperor laughed, he ordered in a deep voice.

Several young eunuchs in the main hall who were waiting to be dispatched at any time stepped out of the hall with small steps.

"Come here, sit across from me." The emperor also waved to the river.

"It's not good..."

"Sit down as long as you are told." The emperor said, "If you don't sit down, you are resisting the order."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang also strode over to the table, and quickly sat down face to face with the emperor.

"From now on, Zhen... I am Lord Qi, and you are Jiang Ye." The emperor said, pushing the tea he hadn't drunk in front of Jiang Ye, "If that's the case, you can just let it go." .”

"Even if you say that, I'm very..." Jiang also felt a pain in his head when he heard his words.If it was another person, let him be more casual. After so long in the barracks, Jiang has really gotten used to it.But when these words came out of the emperor's mouth, he always felt that there was something in the words, and maybe it was a trick for him to take advantage of.

But after thinking about it, he didn't mess with the emperor. At most, he violated the palace rules by pretending to be a eunuch and entering the palace. But the emperor knew early on that he didn't have to wait until now if he wanted to deal with him.play fish.

"Hey." Jiang Ye sighed, picked up the cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp, pretending to be drinking to strengthen his courage, Zui Osmanthus finally said, "I am a soldier under General Xue Ziqin."

The emperor's reaction was completely within Jiang Ye's expectation.From the emperor's few words before, he had already noticed the emperor's precautions against the Xue family, especially in the matter of establishing a crown prince, the Xue family did more and more every day, which made the emperor feel more at ease.

After hearing Jiang Ye's confession, the emperor's previously relaxed expression immediately disappeared, and turned gloomy: "Are you here to monitor me?"

"Your Majesty..." Jiang also thought about it, and then he said with determination, "No, Qiye, it was you who asked me to come to the palace."

"That's true." The emperor said, "That day in Huishan Tower, did you come to seek my trust?"

"Heaven and earth conscience, I know the emperor is inside, I will never go in." Jiang also said sincerely, "Didn't you ask me about the life of the common people? Then let me say now, the common people really don't care who is the emperor."

The emperor's face was ugly, and Jiang knew that what he said was really treasonous, but if he didn't say it and let the emperor think about it, he would only think worse, and would even want to kill him.So he hugged Jiang Ye and broke the jar, and before the emperor could speak, he hurriedly said, "I entered the palace because the Ninth Prince was killed and rescued by me, and then I followed him into the palace to protect him."

"You mean..." "Yes, someone wanted to kill the Ninth Prince and the Third Prince. It was just three years ago when they offered sacrifices to heaven. Unfortunately, the Third Prince was not dead, and the Ninth Prince was also rescued."

"I remember this matter." Jiang Ye's rush to answer really worked, the emperor immediately lowered his head slightly and pondered, and did not pursue the matter that Jiang was also from Xue's family.Jiang also glanced at the emperor's expression quietly, and with some calculations in his mind, he went on to say: "Qi Ye, I will not hide it from you, just like the murder of the eldest prince, these things are all for the position of the crown prince. And the elder When the prince was killed, I was in the Northern Army."

"Are you in the Northern Army?" The emperor was slightly taken aback and confirmed.

"Yes." Jiang also nodded, "I can testify that the death of the eldest prince has nothing to do with the Xue family."

"what?"

The conversation has already come to this point, and Jiang also wanted to tell the whole story about the second prince, but what Wei Lin said suddenly flashed in his mind.Even if he told the emperor now, it would be empty words... But if he didn't say it, for this sake, what he said before would seem to be nonsense.

Jiang also raised his head, looked straight at the emperor with neither humbleness nor condescension, and said, "If you die, die, the first prince should be murdered by the second prince!"

"Bold!" As soon as Jiang Ye finished speaking, the emperor slapped the table angrily, and even the teacup tremblingly fell from the table to the ground and got out of the way.

"Come on! Cough, cough...cough...cough!" the emperor roared, coughing uncontrollably, his pale face turned red with his shortness of breath, "Drag this rambunctious bastard out of here, Into the dungeon!"

The young lady who was guarding outside listened to the sound and immediately entered the hall.

Jiang was also dumbfounded, and only then did he realize that it is true that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.Looking at it now, even if it is a tiger, it may not be as fast as the emperor.

But Jiang is not the kind of person who will be caught without a fight.He hurriedly got up slightly, then knelt down on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! I have evidence! I can prove it! If I have a half-truth today, my Jiang family will not end well!"

"What evidence?" asked the emperor angrily.

"That day I snatched the things on my body from the gangsters, and they are now in my room, and I can bring them over to show the emperor at any time."

"Okay," Yue Mo was too emotional, and the emperor's chest heaved violently.He reached out and patted his chest lightly, trying to make himself more comfortable, and then said, "If you intend to lie to me, I will make your oath come true!"

"Okay!" After being said by the emperor, the stubbornness in Jiang Ye's heart also came up, and he looked up at the emperor and replied loudly.
