Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 121
No, no, another voice immediately stopped his thought in time.

With the powerful means of the crown prince, he might really cut off his own head!
No matter how much the queen mother loves herself, she can't break up with the prince because of a eunuch.

Eunuch Chang is at war between heaven and man, but Li Xuanye sits firmly on Mount Tai.

He didn't raise his eyes to look at Eunuch Chang until the official document that had been reviewed was as high as a hill, "What's the matter?"

This three-point cold and seven-point indifferent voice sounded particularly pleasant to Eunuch Chang's ears, as if a clear spring had been poured into him when he was on the verge of dying of thirst, bringing him back to life in an instant.

He hurriedly bowed and took two steps forward, his eyeballs turned up from the end of his eyes, and he glanced at Li Xuanye. The courage also strengthened a little bit.

With a shrill voice, he reported: "Jizhou is in dire straits. Thousands of people have died of freezing. As the prince of the Eastern Palace, His Highness must have had trouble sleeping, eating, and worrying. After hearing about this, the maidservant is very worried about the country. Therefore, Just now when the Empress Dowager woke up, the servant was thinking about His Highness’s difficulties, so she took the opportunity to persuade her, and finally the Empress Dowager opened her mouth and asked the servant to bring you a sentence, Your Highness, would you like to listen to it?”

He knew it was hard work, but it couldn't be done by anyone but him.

If the Empress Dowager refuses on this matter, then why would the Empress Dowager favor him!
Therefore, he tried to use the softest tone and the most harmonious words, just to let the prince understand three points:
One, he is worried about the common people in the world.

Second, he said good things for the prince.

Three, he is just the Queen Mother's messenger.

Years of flattery experience told him that his words are impeccable and impeccable, no matter how angry the prince is, it is impossible for him to spread it on his head.

Sure enough, Li Xuanye put down the official document in his hand, and said indifferently: "Say."

Eunuch Chang licked the corner of his mouth, and spit out the Queen Mother's words: "The Empress Dowager said that she was in charge of the treasury for many years under the order of the first emperor, and experienced countless natural and man-made disasters, but the piles of Everything has been effectively resolved in her hands. For the prosperity and stability of the entire Wei Dynasty, she cannot rashly hand over the treasury to the young crown prince..."

The more Eunuch Chang talked, the more cold he felt on his neck.

He sneaked a glance above the seat and saw that Li Xuanye was still reviewing the official documents seriously, so he continued: "The queen mother also said that although the power of the treasury cannot be handed over to the crown prince, it is also possible to borrow it temporarily. If your highness really If you really care about the common people, you should know how to make choices, and don't let the whole world fall into the fire and water just because of the whim..."

"Huh?" Li Xuanye suddenly made a sound from his nose, and Eunuch Chang froze and shut his mouth involuntarily.

"Eunuch, why can't I understand these words?" Li Xuanye held a pen in his hand, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "What do you mean by knowing how to choose? What is impulsiveness? I am young and ignorant, so I don't really understand the deep meaning of these words. , I still hope that my father-in-law will give me some pointers, and I am willing to listen."

"This..." Eunuch Chang raised his head in embarrassment, with the expression of "forgive your servant" written all over his face: "Your Highness, forgive me, slave, slave dare not!"

"What are you afraid of?" Li Xuanye picked up the ink stick next to him, and slowly rubbed it on the white jade inkstone, giving people a gentleman's dignity and gentleness like jade.

But the words that came out of his mouth made people shudder: "Gu heard correctly, it was you who 'worry about the country so tormented', it was you who 'thought about the prince's difficulties', and it was you who 'took the opportunity to persuade the queen mother' .”

He paused, and asked lightly: "Since Eunuch Chang is so loyal to Gu, why didn't he send the Buddha to the west, and directly help Gu get the treasury here?"

When Li Xuanye reprimanded people, his voice was calm and his emotions were calm, without any ups and downs.

But precisely because of this, there is an inexplicable fear of the unknown—that kind of emotional impulsiveness when angry makes people feel safer, at least you can see his emotions.

But this invisible pressure is like a sharp sword hanging over your head, which may fall and cut off your head at any time.

Eunuch Chang felt that his whole body was covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly lifted up his robe, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "Your Highness, please forgive me, servant girl, servant girl is really only thinking of His Royal Highness!"

With a "bang", Eunuch Chang only felt the sound of wind in his ears, and a black ink stick flew towards his head.

Then, a cold liquid flowed down from his forehead, exuding the fragrance of ink, dripping down his cheeks, and falling onto the light blue carpet.

He didn't dare to touch it, but he also knew how ugly his current appearance was, how embarrassing and embarrassing it was-this was black ink, and after he made his face like this, the queen mother looked at him when he went back. Look, isn't it about to explode?
Eunuch Chang didn't dare to think too much, he only kowtowed a few times: "Your servant knows it's wrong, my servant said something wrong and offended His Royal Highness, this servant deserves death!"

Li Xuanye sneered.

Yuan Ce came over with a golden basin, Li Xuanye washed his hands, and looked coldly at Eunuch Chang who was kneeling on the ground: "Do you still want to do it alone?"

Eunuch Chang finally regained his senses from the horror, he raised his hand and smacked his face: "Your servant said something wrong, I deserve death! Your Highness taught your servant to dirty your hands carefully, Slaves slap their own mouths!"

Yuan Ce watched from the side, with a slight breath of cold air in his mouth.

This Eunuch Chang is really hot.

There are rules for the eunuchs in the palace to beat people. Ordinary beating means only hearing the sound and no redness and swelling on the face, just for show.

As for the real fight, it used a lot of skill, not only to hear the sound, but also to have fingerprints on the face for everyone to see, so as to achieve a real punishment effect.

Li Xuanye held a white brocade handkerchief, wiped his fingers slowly, without giving a single glance.

It wasn't until Eunuch Chang slapped him more than 20 times in a row that his cheeks were so swollen that he couldn't see his eyes, and then he slowly called out to stop.

The applause stopped abruptly.

Eunuch Chang fell on the ground and kowtowed again: "My servant thanked His Royal Highness for your kindness."

It's really a grace to let him slap his mouth and not kill him.

Li Xuanye said indifferently: "If you dare to let Gu see your face that invites pets and flattery, it will not be a slap!"

Eunuch Chang kowtowed a few more times: "I dare not, I know I'm wrong!"

Li Xuanye flicked his sleeves and sat down on the chair: "Go back and tell your master that one day alone, Wang Fan will not be able to return to his post. As for the power of the treasury..." He sneered, "She loves to be handed over."
