Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2336
Qiu Xinggong was a little dazed, and hurriedly said: "How can an old minister afford it? What orders does His Majesty have, just give them, and the old minister will obey!"

While speaking, he got up and left his seat, and stood respectfully in front of His Majesty Li Er, feeling a little uneasy.

The emperor in front of him has always been generous and generous with rewards to his ministers, but he is definitely not a polite and humble character. He is generous in rewards and punishments, and his generosity is rare in ancient times. How can he not let him say such words as "asking for a favor" today? Qiu Xinggong was frightened?
Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er doesn't seem to like Ru Sui Yangdi's irony. He clearly wants to kill you, but he can still joke with you...

His Majesty Li Er hurriedly took his hand, dragged him to sit beside him, sighed, and said: "It's just that this matter is not big, but it's really difficult for the general."

Qiu Xinggong was even more confused, and quickly expressed his opinion: "No matter what happens, your majesty can be honest, and this old minister's life can be dedicated to your majesty. Apart from that, what else is there to embarrass?"

His Majesty Li Er was very moved, took Qiu Xinggong's hand, and sighed: "Today, the 'Baiqisi' was ordered by a certain person to pour tea for a case, and he accidentally learned that the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Gao Shili, had a relationship with a temple in the south of the city. One of the nuns had an affair..."

In the middle of speaking, Qiu Xinggong suddenly changed his color and opened his mouth to speak.

His Majesty Li Er held him down, with an apologetic expression on his face: "That's right, that nun is the widow of Young Master Ling... Gao Xing's morals are corrupt and shameless, and she actually broke the reputation of a monk. If a certain parent and child, I wish I could kill it with my hands, except for this dirty person!"

Qiu Xinggong's old face was blue and white, angry and aggrieved.

His Majesty Li Er looked at his expression and comforted him: "It's just that he is not the parent and child of a certain person. Although such things are offensive and despicable, they are not a capital crime. Besides, a certain person has received too much favor from Shen Guogong, and Queen Wende even more so." He was brought up by Shen Guogong, how could he have the heart to let Shen Guogong be scolded by the world and his reputation ruined?"

You want to save Shen Guogong Gao Shilian's face, but what about my face?

Qiu Xinggong was filled with anger.

This is simply a disgrace!

He struggled to get up, and he said angrily: "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! That Gao Xing and my son have a good relationship, and they are brothers and sisters. Now that my son died suddenly, how could he do such obscene things to my son's widow? It's so human-faced and animal-hearted, it's extravagant..."

"General calm down, how about listening to a certain word?"

His Majesty Li Er pulled him down and persuaded him gently.

Qiu Xinggong was so angry that his beard was flaring and his eyes were about to burst, but he didn't dare to disobey His Majesty Li Er's wishes, so he could only sit there, trembling with anger, and said in a shy voice: "Please show me, Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Now that the boat is done and the mistake is made, even if Gao Xun is really going to cut that bastard into pieces, what good is it going to do? It's just making things worse and making everyone in the world hear about it." , not only is God's achievement under Jiuquan's soul restless, but it also shames all the loyal members of the Qiu family. Not to mention, Shen Guogong is well known in the world for your support. If you really killed Gao Xingzhi, outsiders will say There is nothing wrong with young people who are romantic and suave, but you don't want to miss the old kindness..."

Qiu Xinggong was stunned.

Even though he thought His Majesty Li Er might be partial to Gao Xing, his words were indeed reasonable.Having fallen out with Gao Shilian before, he has already endured a lot of slanderous words, people in the market and even the court, he said that Qiu Xinggong was ungrateful and not a son of man.

Now, although the fault lies in Gao's performance, I wish I could tear him into pieces, but if I do that seriously, probably not many people will sympathize with me, and think that I don't miss the old love...

The anger almost set Qiu Xinggong's internal organs on fire, the veins on his forehead twitched violently, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible to let this matter go, and my Qiu family will endure such shame and humiliation for nothing?"

"How can this work?"

His Majesty Li Er also had a look of anger: "Gao's execution of such evil deeds has caused both men and gods to be angry. How could he easily spare him? I wish he could be dismissed and investigated, and never used again! But, can the general think about it? Even if the news spreads, the Qiu family will lose all face?"

Qiu Xinggong said angrily: "The veterans dare not compare themselves to honest people such as Keming and Xuanling, but they also want face. How can they be willing to spread such things? But those bastards and men have already committed such scandals, even if they cover them up today, the paper If you can't contain the fire, you must know it all over the world!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "In my opinion, if you simply order the embroidered lady to return to vulgarity, a certain person will order Gao Xing to bring her into the mansion. In this way, the two people's names are justified, and even if there are any ugly words in the future, they will not There are too many people who believe that, after all, the done deal can minimize the negative impact."

"This, this, this...how did this happen?"

Qiu Xinggong was dumbfounded.

And he stole my daughter-in-law with high performance, ruined my mother-in-law's name, and tarnished the reputation of my Qiu family, and then I have to wash my daughter-in-law and send her to his high-performance bed for nothing?

How can there be such a reason in the world!

Am I, Qiu Xinggong, shameless?
But after thinking about it, perhaps His Majesty Li Er's suggestion is the most suitable way to deal with this matter.

Either he poured his anger on Gao Xingshi and made him bear the price, and then faced the punishment of the court law, as well as the slander of himself from inside and outside the court, or he held his breath and turned the matter into a trivial one. ...

The most important thing is His Majesty Li Er's position on this matter.

Qiu Xinggong finally understood, what is Qiu Shenji?What is the Qiu family?If he hadn't been thinking about his credit for single-handedly rescuing His Majesty Li Er from the siege outside Hulao Pass, perhaps he would have cleaned himself up thoroughly when he fell out with Gao Shilian and wanted to assassinate Fang Jun several times.

How can the current Qiu family compare to his son-in-law, Gao Shilian's son who raised Empress Wende to adulthood?

For a moment, Qiu Xinggong was disheartened, his anger gradually subsided, and his heart was cold.

Most of the energy and energy was exhausted, and all thoughts were disheartened: "Your Majesty will deal with everything, and the old minister has no complaints."

His Majesty Li Er couldn't bear to see him in such a depressed manner, but this matter can only be handled in this way, otherwise the uproar will spread, and even the face of the royal family will be affected. possible……

Of course, Qiu Xinggong was absolutely wronged.

Thinking of the bloody battles in front of the saddle back then, His Majesty Li Er also gave Qiu Xinggong compensation: "You have made a lot of contributions over the years, but you have also made mistakes several times, and you have been impeached many times. Someone wants to be promoted to you, but you can't ignore the law and go your own way. But in the past two years, you have calmed down. In a few days, you will be promoted to the title of Duke of Tianshui County, and you will be promoted to General Youwuhou. In the coming year, you will march east and lead your army to fight side by side with you."

General Youwuhou, one of the sixteen generals.

Although the Duke of Tianshui County is inferior to the "Founding Duke", Qiu Xinggong knows it himself. He has always been regarded by the court officials as "ruthless and tyrannical", and he is severely excluded. In this life, the title of Duke is doomed. Hopeless, Duke Tianshui is probably at the pinnacle of his life.

Although he knew that His Majesty Li Er intended to favor Gao Xing, Qiu Xinggong was not allowed to eat up this compensation.

The emperor gave you face, do you dare to refuse it yourself?
Qiu Xinggong left the table again, bowed to the ground, and said gratefully: "The old minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, and he will do his best to help His Majesty destroy Goguryeo, rule the world, and achieve grand plans and hegemony!"

"Haha! Well, well, our monarchs and ministers have been coveting comfort in this Chang'an city for more than ten years, and this time we will join hands again to fight on the battlefield, just like how we swept away the princes from all walks of life, killing him Goguryeo, blood flowed into rivers, throwing away the helmet First!"

His Majesty Li Er was very happy and high-spirited.

Looking forward to the future for a while, feeling comfortable and happy, but the monarch and his ministers get along well with each other, quite harmonious...

After a long time, Qiu Xinggong got up to say goodbye.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, after the old minister returns, he will write a letter of divorce and give Xiu Niang the status of remarrying."

"It's so good. After all, she is a bereaved woman. Although her life is worry-free, after all, her life is miserable. As elders, we might as well make mistakes and make this pair of fateful mandarin ducks come true. I just wronged the general. I feel very sorry. "

"What are you talking about? Your Majesty can illuminate thousands of miles and see everything clearly. This is the most appropriate way to deal with it. If your Majesty is not benevolent, I am afraid that the old minister will be angry and make a big mistake."

……

His Majesty Li Er's eyelids twitched, feeling Qiu Xinggong's anger that still hadn't dissipated, but this kind of thing can't be blamed on Qiu Xinggong's grudge, and I'm afraid it won't be able to dispel it with just a few words...

After Qiu Xinggong exited the study, His Majesty Li Er called Wang De, the head of the housekeeper, "Go and arrest that evil Gao Xing!"

Wang De's heart skipped a beat.

He hadn't waited in front of the emperor before, so he didn't know what Li Junxian reported. Now that he heard His Majesty Li Er used the word "catch" in his words, and his expression was so angry, he knew what Gao Xing had committed. Blunder.

He quickly responded, and hurried out of the palace with a few guards.
