I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 178 Emperor Qi: Rong, I don't have such a brain...

Boom!
"Damn!!"

"Everyone is a jerk!!!"

Maintaining the last sliver of sanity until the end of the court meeting, when all the participants left the Xuanshi Hall, Tian Zi Qi finally couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and slammed his fist heavily on the royal case in front of him!

A muffled loud noise caused Chao Cuo, the internal historian, and Ling Chuntuo, the eunuch, to shrink their necks quickly;
But Tianzi Qi stood up suddenly, turned his head full of anger, and put the red and swollen fist behind his back.

"Didn't the internal history say that Tao Qing's every move is under the control of the internal history?"

"——This, what's going on again!"

"Neishi, don't you need to explain it carefully!!!"

Several roars in succession only made Chao Cuo bow his head deeply, wishing he could use his chin to poke a hole in the front breastbone;

Seeing that Tianzi Qi still showed no signs of appeasing his anger, Chao Cuo had no choice but to kneel down, kowtowed to Tianzi Qi full of misery, and refused to get up for a long time.

Of course Chao Cuo knew what was going on today.

Not only Chao Cuo knew, but Tianzi Qi also knew it very well in his heart.

——Tao Qing, out of control;
——The traction rope tied around Tao Qing's neck and controlled by Chao Cuo himself was broken.

How it was broken, Chao Cuo is not clear.

Chao Cuo only knows that if his dog starts biting people, then as the owner of the dog, he has an inescapable responsibility...

"His Majesty······"

"—What are you doing!!"

In the silence, the eunuch Ling Chuntuo whispered cautiously, but it provoked the emperor Qi to turn sideways with a full face of fury like a mauling army!
Beside the imperial couch, the eunuch Ling Chuntuo was leading a young eunuch, suppressing the fear in his heart, stumbling and whispering: "Queen, it seems that you are kneeling outside the palace..."

Chun Tuo spoke tremblingly, making the anger in Tianzi Qi's chest dissipate inexplicably, but it turned into a burst of irritability.

"What is she here for?!"

"—Let her go back!"

"—Stay well in Jiaofang Palace!!"

The angry and angry words made Chuntuo's face more miserable.

"His Majesty······"

"The Queen said, no matter what, I must see Your Majesty..."

"The old slave is watching, the queen is crying so much;"

"If we go back like this, in case..."

The meaningful "in case" made the emperor turn his head abruptly!

The captivating look of an angry master, and the cold eyes showing a faint murderous aura, scared Chun Tuo to kneel down and kowtow on the ground for a while.

After quite a while, Tianzi Qicai withdrew his cold gaze from Chuntuo's frightened face.

The word 'in case' that Chuntuo said, of course Tianzi Qi knew what it meant.

But it is precisely because of knowing that the Son of Heaven is enlightened that he feels more and more irritable...

"Get up."

The extremely cold words made Chuntuo bounce up from the ground as if he had been pardoned, and leaped forward two steps in confusion, then forced himself to suppress his heavy breath, and bowed to the side of Tianzi Qi.

"Give me an idea."

"—Queen, I can't see you."

"Zhen, I have to ask the queen to go back to the pepper room obediently, so that I can stay."

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, and uttering these few words in a tone that was barely too scary, Tianzi Qi's face sank.

Hearing this, Chuntuo breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily raised his hand to wipe the blood and sweat off his forehead;

Let the brain spin rapidly for a while, and then hastily bowed to Tianzi Qi.

"On the day when the empress dowager passed away, I remember that the empress seemed to have fainted from crying."

"Afterwards, Young Master Rong and Young Master Sheng went to visit the Queen."

"I heard from people in the palace that the queen seems to love the two young masters very much..."

As soon as Chuntuo finished speaking, Tianzi Qi waved his hands irritably.

"Just do it!"

"Go get those two bastards and let them persuade the queen to go back to the pepper room!"

"Tell those two bastards again, if the Queen returns to Jiaofang Palace, what happens..."

"Humph!"

"—I have ten sons!"

"Even if there are two less, I will never think that my son is too few!!!"

With another hoarse roar, Tianzi Qi coughed uncontrollably, and his face flushed red again in a moment!
But at this moment, Chuntuo didn't bother to step forward, and let the emperor breathe smoothly...
"Your Majesty, please invite Chao Gong..."

Full of sorrow and pleading, he dropped a word, Chuntuo trotted out of the announcement room as if fleeing, and ran towards the Phoenix Hall and Guangming Hall with the little eunuch respectively.

And after Chuntuo left, Chao Cuo finally stepped forward with a bitter sigh, and gently patted the back for Emperor Qi.

After coughing for quite a while, wishing to almost cough up his lungs, Tianzi Qicai finally regained his strength;

Then Chao Cuo handed a bowl of warm water to his mouth, and took a small sip. Tianzi Qi, who had recovered from his severe cough, finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Whoo~"

"These bastards..."

"I want, I want to piss me off..."

The Emperor Qi, who was vaguely angry, but "couldn't get angry" because of his weakness, also made Chao Cuo worry for a while;
Carefully supporting Tianzi Qi and lying down on the couch, Chao Cuo finally returned to the imperial couch and knelt down peacefully.

"Your Majesty thinks that Tao Qing is subject to who..."

"——Also!...cough cough, cough cough cough..."

Chao Cuo hadn't finished speaking, Tianzi Qi became anxious again, and just about to speak, he coughed uncontrollably;
After coughing dozens more times, Tianzi Qiqiang suppressed the dry itching in his throat, stood up, grabbed the water bowl and poured it vigorously.

After drinking the bowl of warm water in one gulp, Tianzi Qicai finally felt better, took another breath, and fell back on the couch weakly.

When he spoke again, even though he tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, Tianzi Qi still couldn't restrain a little anger in his tone.

"It's not that stupid woman Li Ji!"

"—On my side, we have just started to prepare for the establishment of the crown prince!"

"The empress dowager is still ambiguous, the king of Liang is still in Chang'an, and there is no word about the appointment of the crown prince!"

"That stupid woman must rush to live in Jiaofang Palace!"

"—After Rong becomes the crown prince, will I keep the crown prince's mother in the Phoenix Palace!!"

"Is it really so impatient that you have to live in that Jiaofang Palace?"

After trying his best to suppress his anger, and uttering these few words of resentment in a loud voice that could barely be called a roar, Tianzi Qi's pale face once again burst into raging anger.

"Rong hasn't become the prince yet, so he wants to live in the Jiaofang Palace in a hurry!"

"When Rong becomes the crown prince, what will that stupid woman do in such a hurry?!"

"—I'm afraid I have to be in a hurry, I can't let me die quickly so that she can live in Changle Palace and be the queen mother of my Han family!!!"

"Ahem...that stupid woman..."

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

As he was talking, Tianzi Qi became short of breath again, and coughed again on the couch.

When Chao Cuo stood up with a frown, several imperial physicians finally came late and sat down around Tianzi Qi.

It was acupuncture and massage again, so it was very lively.

After busying around Tianzi Qi for a while, the imperial doctor ordered him to light the moxa sticks himself, and drew circles for a while on both sides of Tianzi Qi's forehead, approximately at the position of the temples, with a distance of two inches;

In the end, a bowl of black soup was brought over, regardless of Tianzi Qi's wrinkled brows, several people worked together to pour it down for Tianzi Qi.

When Emperor Qi fell asleep safely, the imperial physicians gathered around the edge of the imperial couch again, watching anxiously for half an hour.

Seeing Tianzi Qi wake up leisurely, and nodded to himself with clear eyes, the imperial doctor let out a long sigh of relief;

Don't forget to explain things like 'don't get angry' and 'don't speak too loudly', several old imperial physicians whose ages add up to hundreds of years, left the announcement room from the side door under the guidance of the imperial physician order temple.

After being diagnosed and treated by the imperial physicians, drinking a bowl of clear fire soup, and sleeping for a while, Tianzi Qi finally calmed down.

——It’s okay to not be angry;

If I get angry twice, I'm afraid I will lose half a year of life for nothing.

But even if he calmed down, Tianzi Qi was obviously still brooding over what happened today.

"Ah~"

"Stupid woman..."

"I'm still here, and the Queen Mother is still here, so she can do such stupid things!"

"Waiting for the future..."

"Wait for the future!"

"Ugh!!"

"--so what?!"

Annoyed, but also a little bit worried, Chao Cuo just lowered his head with a wry smile.

Carefully rolled up his eyelids, and looked carefully for a while, to make sure that Tianzi Qi had really calmed down, Chao Cuo finally felt relieved.

After thinking for a while, he moved his body forward a little.

"Your Majesty believes that Tao Qing was instigated by Li Ji, that's why he was so angry;"

"But I'm worried, the person behind the scenes who instructed Tao Qing is probably hoping for this..."

A meaningful whisper made Tianzi Qi frown.

"how do I say this?"

But Chao Cuo lowered his head solemnly, took a deep breath, shook his head immediately, and sighed leisurely.

"Your Majesty, you might as well imagine this: If Tao Qing hadn't asked His Majesty to abolish the Empress today, who would you have planned to appoint as the heir apparent, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty will appoint the heir apparent as you wish, and who is the result you least want to see?"

"—And again: Who is the most suspicious about today's matter, Your Majesty?"

"Who will be happy with His Majesty's doubts, and feel that there is still room for change in the appointment of the crown prince?"

The two understated reminders made Tianzi Qi calm down quickly;
He only thought about three or five breaths, then raised his head with a gloomy face: "The teacher means..."

"—Tao Qing, is he a member of King Liang?!"

Hearing this, Chao Cuo didn't nod his head, but he didn't shake his head to deny it either.

"Tao Qing's actions today were instigated by someone. Without definite evidence, I dare not make a conclusion."

"—but I am more than [-]% sure that the person behind Tao Qing has nothing to do with the Phoenix Palace..."

"Just like what His Majesty said just now: If there were no events today, the heir apparent His Majesty would appoint as the Crown Prince would be the eldest son of the Emperor."

"As your majesty said, if the eldest son of the emperor becomes the crown prince, the crown prince's mother will definitely be able to live in Jiaofang Palace."

"Since this is the case, then Li Ji, why did she make such a fuss at this juncture?"

"Li Ji, are you really so stupid?"

"—Take a step back and say: Even if Li Ji is really hopelessly stupid, isn't there no smart person around Li Ji?"

"Let's not talk about others, even the eldest son of the emperor, he wouldn't sit back and watch Li Ji do such a stupid thing, would he?"

After speaking with certainty, Chao Cuo stopped talking for a while, so that Tian Zi Qi Neng would have time to digest his words;
But something Chao Cuo didn't expect was that after a short thought, Emperor Qi still shook his head solemnly.

"Hard to say."

"Whether Li Ji is so stupid is really hard to say."

"If Li Ji really encouraged Tao Qing in this matter, would Rong dissuade him..."

"Um······"

"—It's still hard to say."

A few "hard to say" in succession made Chao Cuo startled slightly;
After a while, he shook his head and smiled wryly, and continued: "The minister, let's put it another way."

"Your Majesty also said: Li Ji, it is possible to do such a stupid thing;"

"If Li Ji really did such a stupid thing, the eldest son of the emperor may not stop Li Ji."

"Since that's the case, how can such a 'stupid' Li Ji let Tao Qing run for her?"

"——Such a 'stupid' Li Ji, could she really think of using Tao Qing's mouth to test His Majesty in this way?"

"Even if it's a test, it should be a private test, not an open request to His Majesty to abolish Queen Bo at the court meeting?"

Hearing this, Tianzi Qicai finally nodded slowly.

"It is;"

"Li Ji, I have no such ability."

"I don't even have that brain."

Saying so, Tianzi Qi nodded thoughtfully;
After a while, he suddenly raised his head again!
"Will it be the opposite!"

"—After all, the most dangerous place is also the safest place!"

"The person who is least likely to do this is also the easiest person to do it without being suspected by others?!"

But when Chao Cuo heard the words, he just shook his head with a stiff smile.

"Didn't His Majesty say that just now?"

"—Li Ji, I don't have the ability..."

"Is it the eldest son of the emperor...?"

Before Chao Cuo finished speaking, it was the emperor's turn to shake his head with a stiff smile.

"will not."

"—Sakae, I don't have such a brain..."

After a rather strange conversation, the monarch and his ministers each bowed their heads with stiff smiles.

After a while, he raised his head tacitly, and then smiled at each other...

"In this way~"

"It's one of my younger brothers, who still hasn't given up;"

"At this point, are you still dreaming of the crown prince's younger brother?"

"—Now it seems that this is the greatest possibility..."

"Um······"

"Then I should?"

"—plans unchanged;"

"——Establish the crown prince quickly, with the thought of the king of Liang..."

After a few short conversations, the two monarchs and ministers quickly reached an agreement based on years of tacit understanding.

It also happened to be at this time that the eunuch Ling Chuntuo, who had left forward, returned to the Xuanshi Hall in panic.

"How is it?"

"Queen, have you returned to Jiaofang Palace?"

Tianzi Qilang asked in a loud voice, which made Chuntuo's calf go soft for no reason!
Trembling and raising his head, he saw that when he left, Emperor Qi, who wished he could overthrow the Xuanshi Palace, was looking at him with a smile...
"—What happened?!"

Seeing that Chuntuo didn't answer, Tianzi Qi just tightened his heart a little!
Chuntuo hurried forward and bowed heavily to Emperor Qi.

"To Your Majesty;"

"Young Master Rong and Young Master Sheng both persuaded the Queen to return to the Jiaofang."

"The old slave was worried, so he followed suit."

"When I came back, the queen had already fallen asleep..."

Hearing that the queen was fine, Tian Zi Qi finally secretly heaved a sigh of relief;

He straightened up with a chuckle, and muttered casually: "These two bastards are still somewhat useful..."

"—Go, tell those two bastards: these few days, run to the Jiaofang Palace more diligently;"

"No matter what, please persuade the queen to be good!"

Tianzi Qi gave another order, and Chuntuo hurriedly bowed to accept the order;

Just as he was about to leave, Tianzi Qi raised his hand again.

"Let's not rush."

"There is one more thing I want you to do."

Called Chun Tuo who had already run several steps away, and saw Tian Zi Qi smiled strangely and turned around, looking at the teacher Chao Cuo in front of him, and smiled meaningfully.

"Also ask the teacher to write two letters for me."

"Tell Taiwei Zhou Yafu and General Dou Ying: I miss them very much..."

Tian Ziqi's inexplicable words only made Chun Tuo puzzled for a while;

Chao Cuo understood it, he didn't procrastinate at all, he grabbed a rabbit hair and two pieces of silk cloth, and started to write in front of Tianzi Qi.

In a short while, the two eloquent letters were written and spread in front of Tianzi Qi by Chao Cuo.

After Tian Ziqi checked it carefully and made sure there was no 'problem', he nodded slowly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"My heart is best understood by the teacher..."

"—Your Majesty's words are serious;"

"——This is the duty of a subject..."

After some polite greetings with Chao Cuo, Emperor Qi got up from the couch carelessly.

Fumbled around on the imperial case, grabbed two bamboo tubes, folded the two pieces of silk randomly, and stuffed them into the bamboo tubes;

Cover the bamboo tube with a lid, and then fasten the lid with a string. Finally, don't forget to grab a piece of ink pad and press it firmly on the string.

"Also ask the teacher..."

He just handed the bamboo tubes forward, and before he finished speaking, Chao Cuo was already full of Fu Ling's heart, and took the two bamboo tubes with a light smile;
Then he lowered his head, took out his private seal from his bosom, and stamped it on the ink pad without hesitation.

Everything was ready, Tianzi Qi took the two bamboo tubes, and at the same time, he did not forget to give his teacher Chao Cuo a tacit look.

Then he turned sideways and threw the two bamboo tubes containing the 'letters' into Chuntuo's arms.

"You go to Kanto in person and deliver these two letters to the general and the captain respectively."

"—Remember, don't let anyone notice your whereabouts!"

"After the letter is delivered, I will personally stare at the general and the captain, and read the two letters;"

"Take the reply letters from the General and the Taiwei, and come back to report to me."

A burst of strange orders only caused Chun Tuo to raise his head slightly in confusion.

Although he also bowed to accept the order and carefully put the two bamboo slips back into his arms, there was still a lingering puzzlement on his face.

Seeing this, Tianzi Qi just smiled and shook his head, and then looked at his teacher Chao Cuo for a while;

With another tacit smile, Tianzi Qicai sat back on the couch again, and even lazily lay down on his side, waving at Chuntuo with ease.

"Just go~"

"After reading these two letters, the General and the Taiwei will definitely understand what I mean;"

"If you know what I mean, there will definitely be a 'reply letter' for you to send back to me..."
