After breaking the leg of a powerful minister, I begged him to be regent

what?Look, didn't the minister bring you back? "

Xie Honggui shuddered, and said compromised: "Okay, okay, I will accompany you for another fifteen minutes, no more."

Sichuan's face-changing technique was average, and a smile immediately appeared on Chu Yanting's face.

The two walked around again, and Chu Yanting continued to show off his knowledge and knowledge, and acted as a commentator.At first, Xie Honggui put on the emperor's airs and dismissed what Chu Yanting said. Gradually, besides introducing the varieties of flowers, Chu Yanting also added the anecdotal stories behind them.Xie Honggui was also fascinated by what he heard, his aloof mask was slowly lifted, his face was sometimes curious and sometimes surprised, he stared blankly at Qiao Fei who was following behind the two of them.

……

When returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qiao Fei followed Xie Honggui silently all the way. He had thousands of questions in his mind, but he didn't know which one to start with.

Xie Honggui was trying to decipher the words on the memorial under the lamp, when a court lady stepped forward and brought him a cup of tea.Xie Honggui was about to take it, but he didn't expect the maid to miss it, and the cup of hot water fell on his robe.

The maid turned pale with fright, and hurriedly cleaned the water stains and tea leaves on her robe.He couldn't stop saying: "You servants deserve to die! I beg the emperor to spare me!"

Xie Honggui always wanted to complain about this kind of sentence pattern, while saying damn it, and at the same time saying forgive him.Since you deserve to die, how can you spare your life?Since you want to spare your life, why do you say you deserve to die?

Qiao Fei, who was standing aside, saw this scene, suddenly raised his eyebrows, frowned and drew his sword, pointing at the crying maid. "You are so brave! How dare you assassinate the emperor!"

Xie Honggui stared blankly at Qiao Fei, hey hey hey!Which eye did you see her assassinate me?

The court lady was yelled at by Qiao Fei, she burst into tears, "Your servant is wronged!"

"You still dare to quibble!" Qiao took a step forward, and was about to grab the back of the palace lady's neck...

Xie Honggui shouted from the side: "Stop! Take the sword back!"

After being stunned for a moment, Qiao Fei slowly put the sword back into the scabbard.

Although this Qiao Fei has a bit of a violent temper, that's good, he is obedient.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this. Although Qiao Fei doesn't appear in many scenes in the novel, whenever he appears, he shows the brutal side of the original.

As long as someone makes the original product unhappy, with just one look, Qiao Fei can turn into a knife of the original product at any time. No matter who is standing in front of him, Qiao Fei can kill and dismember the body without hesitation.

Xie Honggui thought to himself, Qiao Fei is still young now, if he always treats human life as nothing, fights and kills him anytime and anywhere, and kills people when he disagrees with him, sooner or later he will become a big murderer without blinking an eye.

Xie Honggui was determined to cure his bad temper.

Xie Honggui said: "I just spilled a glass of water, it's no big deal, just be careful next time. Go down."

The palace maid stopped crying, kowtowed to thank her, and hurriedly withdrew.

Qiao Fei suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I would like to know why you let Chu Yanting out? Didn't you say that he..."

Originally, "Xie Honggui" and Qiao Fei were very close, they were about the same age, and their conversations were speculative. As the emperor, "Xie Honggui" couldn't tell others about many things, but Qiao Fei was his confidant and was very trusted. "Xie Honggui" then He revealed a lot of thoughts to him, including the fact that he deliberately framed Chu Yanting to prevent Chu Yanting from overpowering and threatening his throne. It can be said that the original goods were confided to him.Therefore, when he heard that Chu Yanting was suddenly reused and released, he was puzzled, and the emperor in front of him seemed to have distanced himself.

But of course Xie Honggui at this time could not tell him the whole story, he only said: "Chu Yanting still has a place for the court, so don't kill him lightly."

Xie Honggui taught by the way: "Also, from now on, without my permission, you can't use your sword to hurt people at will."

Qiao Fei was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "Of order."

……

In the court, the topic still revolved around the candidate for the right prime minister, but this time Prime Minister Liang Cihai changed the candidate for recommendation. When he said that name, all civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

"Your Majesty, I think that Chu Yanting, who has just solved the Yellow River flood for the imperial court, can take on this important task."

This proposal made Xie Honggui puzzled.

Liang Cihai is from Chu Yanting, that is to say, this proposal should be ordered by Chu Yanting.

Does he want to return to court and blatantly seize power?

But isn't he afraid that if he scores twice, I will find a chance to cut his power and dismiss him again?

In view of Chu Yanting's previous convictions, someone in the court immediately stood up to refute.

Han Shizu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "I object! Don't say that Chu Yanting is just a prisoner with a low status, and he used to be a prime minister, and he was as high as the three princes, but he took bribes and ignored the law. How can such a sinner with such a bad record Can you give him another chance?"

Jin Baoyuan, Minister of the Household Department, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Mr. Liang's proposal. Back then, Chu Yanting was the number one scholar at the age of 16, and he was familiar with state affairs at the age of 20. Whether it is the policy of governing the country or military strategy, Chu Yanting is rare. Young talent!"

Xue Ming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Yellow River was flooded and hundreds of thousands of refugees were displaced. If Chu Yanting hadn't intervened, the life-saving money for the people of the Xiao Kingdom would probably have rotted in the private treasury of the disciples of the aristocratic family. Yichen Look, Chu Yanting has the heart to repent, and he has a thorough understanding of Xiao Guo's current ills, if he is allowed to serve again, it will do no harm to His Majesty's governance of the country!"

The three ministers took turns to fight, and the voice of opposition suddenly became smaller.

In fact, many ministers also knew in their hearts that the case of accusing Chu Yanting of corruption two years ago was full of doubts, and the process of convicting the criminals was difficult to convince the public.Since ancient times, when the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, and the running dogs are cooked.Now that the emperor is incapable of governing the country, and the economy of the whole country is visibly declining, maybe the emperor wants to take out Chu Yanting's bow again.And these proposed ministers may have been arranged by the emperor.

Thinking of this level, no one objected.

The Minister of Household Affairs glanced around at the other ministers, shook his head and sighed.

Seeing that the left and right ministers were avoiding him, Xie Honggui seemed to secretly agree.

In fact, based on Xie Honggui's current thinking, even if the throne was handed over to Chu Yanting, he would not hesitate at all, but because the Queen Mother disagreed, Xie Honggui was worried that Chu Yanting would attack the Queen Mother, so he decided to persuade the Queen Mother first.

Chu Yanting said: "Let me think about it first, let's retreat."

9. Chapter 9

After Xie Hong returned to court, he went to see the queen mother.

Unexpectedly, the news spread quickly. As soon as we met, the Queen Mother excitedly held his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that the ministers are going to recommend Chu Yanting as the right minister. Is this true?"

Xie Honggui said slowly: "It's true."

The Empress Dowager's face gradually became gloomy, "What is the intention of these ministers? They want to recommend a sinner who has been punished! Even if he pays for his crime with merit, it would be ridiculous to be promoted to the right minister all at once!"

Xie Honggui helped the Empress Dowager to sit down, his heart was hardened, and he said: "Mother, I have already decided to agree with the ministers' proposal."

The queen mother slowly raised her head, looked at Xie Honggui in amazement, and said, "Your majesty, you are raising a tiger! Do you know that he, Chu Yanting..."

Xie Honggui frowned, and said: "I know this, but now that the national power is declining, I urgently need a capable minister to govern the country. Right now, only Chu Yanting is suitable."

The queen mother saw that the emperor's attitude was firm, so she didn't say any more, just sighed, rubbed her eyebrows and went to rest.

Seeing that the Queen Mother did not act too aggressively, Xie Honggui felt a lot more relaxed.As long as the Empress Dowager doesn't object fiercely, and won't let him tie up Chu Yanting with his personal guards, Xie Honggui won't be able to control that much, let's talk about Chu Yanting's confession first.

……

In Jing'an's study room, Chu Yanting was scraping the tea leaves, with cold eyes and frivolous eyes, he said, "Did he really say that?"

Qilin knelt on the ground, respectfully said: "Yes."

Chu Yanting took a sip of tea, then squinted and looked out the window, and said with a smile: "This little emperor, has really changed his mind?"

……

Xie Honggui quickly issued an edict, reappointing Chu Yanting as the right minister of the court.

At the court, Chu Yanting changed into court clothes, combed his hair, and wore a hair crown. Compared with the handsome and elegant Chu Yanting he saw a few days ago, at this time, Chu Yanting was even more majestic and aloof.

After Chu Yanting thanked him, he looked up at the person on the throne, and then smiled meaningfully, "I thank the emperor for his grace."

Xie Honggui felt a little guilty, but he still straightened his neck and said, "I hope that Aiqing will fulfill her duty and serve the country in the future."

Chu Yanting said: "The minister must live up to the holy will."

Chu Yanting retreated to the ranks of ministers, although other ministers looked sideways at him frequently, but Chu Yanting was always calm and smiling, as if he had already calculated that this position was his.

Xie Honggui glanced at the civil and military halls of the imperial court, and suddenly found that, except for Chu Yanting, none of the other officials was under 40 years old, so that Chu Yanting was particularly eye-catching among them, young and handsome, handsome and elegant.

Xie Honggui unconsciously looked at Chu Yanting twice more, but soon Chu Yanting noticed his gaze and responded to him with a smile.

Xie Honggui withdrew his gaze almost reflexively, sat up straight and glanced away, pretending not to look at him, and then began to discuss.

After the court meeting, Xie Honggui faced a large number of memorials, and his head hurt again.

But soon he thought, now that there is Chu Yanting in the court, why should he bother?

Xie Honggui patted the table, "Han An! Call Chu Yanting here!"

……

When Chu Yanting came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he hadn't had time to take off his court clothes.

"The minister kowtowed to the emperor, but he didn't know what the emperor announced to the minister.
