Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 170

On the night when General Long entered the city, a banquet was held in the palace, all officials were invited to the banquet, and Shao Ziyu was also invited.

The emperor ordered to prepare the banquet, and the arrangement in the palace was very fast. After the sky darkened, the lights outside the hall were lit, singing and dancing began, and a group of dancers were performing. General Long, who was the distinguished guest, lit his hands on his knees one by one, following the rhythm of the music.

But the expressions of the other officials here are not so enjoyable. The incident at the gate of the city during the day has already been spread. What will the emperor do next? Should he judge the Minister Shao, and how will he behave towards the actions of General Long? are among their concerns.

Those who are concerned about the country and the people will think that if something happens to General Long, the border area will be in chaos, and those who are more worried about themselves will stare at the results of Master Shao's handling. A dead body, but whoever is a little bit small and has done something, how can these people not worry in their hearts.

Shao Ziyu's eyes fell on the General Long whose brows had never been stretched. He killed the court officials without blinking his eyes. He said so to the emperor. He dared to bring only so many people into the city. He began to wonder what the general Long was. How will you accept the move.

Halfway through the banquet, the dancers retreated, and the emperor began to introduce General Long to all the officials. There was no lack of appreciation in his tone, he praised him for guarding the border for many years, keeping the border peaceful, and praised him for being brave and good at fighting. He is a rare talent. He raised his glass to toast General Long. General Long picked up the wine glass, showed it to the sky, and drank it in one sip without any hesitation.

Logically speaking, why should the emperor be worried about toasting like this, but Long He drank it very simply, saying that he is confident in his heart, that the emperor will not poison him.

"General Long is really a refreshing person." Xiao Jingyi put down his wine glass, and the food was being served at this time, and then there was a performance. Long He looked at these naked and gorgeously dressed women, and turned around to give the general a few words.

The emperor naturally saw this scene. After the general nodded, Fushen left. Xiao Jingyi turned his head slightly and asked the eunuch behind him, "Have you passed?"

The eunuch behind him replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I sent someone over half an hour ago."

Xiao Jingyi nodded, looking back at the performance on the stage, the hand placed aside was still slowly beating the time
At night the banquet was over, all the officials left the palace, General Long was arranged in the best mansion, it was already midnight, Long He leaned in the bath and squinted his eyes to rest, the door opened.

Long He's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't open his eyes to look. He only heard the sound of small footsteps coming near the screen, and there was a rustling sound, as if he was taking off his clothes.

Soon there were people entering the water on the opposite side of the pool where Long He was leaning on, more than one. He clearly felt the waves of the water approaching. He suddenly opened his eyes, and two women in tulle appeared in front of him, holding plates in their hands. , there were fruits and fine wine on the plate. The tulle was soaked in water and stuck to the skin. It was no different from the transparent one. It outlined their figures very enchantingly. The two looked at Long He shyly, and one of them put down The plate floated in the water, and slowly moved to Long He's side, lowering his eyebrows and whispering, "General, we two sisters are ordered to serve the general, Xiao Shuang rub your shoulders for you, general."

Long He glanced at it, and left his back to her sideways, Xiao Shuang moved behind him, her slender hands fell on his shoulders, applied some massage oil on the palms, and pressed moderately and lightly.

The big pair in front of him took the fruit on the plate and fed it to Long He. He still had to feed it with his own hands. He stroked his rough beard with his fingertips. Looking at him, full of glances.

Until there was a slight heat behind his shoulders, Long He squinted his eyes, and the beauty in front of him fed with his mouth instead of his hands. A green fruit was placed in his vermilion lips, and his big hands stretched out his hands to support his chest and slowly approached. Personally, I almost posted him.

At that moment, her lips were about to touch his, and the fruit was sucked into her mouth by her, she blinked playfully, and when her lips were about to kiss, Long He reached out and grabbed her waist from her back. Hair, pulled her back violently, and soon the leg under the water lifted and kicked her stomach. She was kicked one meter away in pain and passed out.

Long He then turned around and restrained Xiaoshuang's neck with his elbows, and pressed her against the stone on the edge of the bath, seeing her disbelief, he took her hand, where was the palm for massage The transparent ointment is obviously a drug for the most insane.

"Drug and poison, I really think highly of this general, the emperor is really willing." Sending these two slender beauties over to seduce him.

Long He looked at her, "It's a pity that this general is not a person who cares about beauty and beauty. There are many people who want to kill this general. You are so tender." Long He reached out and touched the pale face, bowed his head Approaching her, looking into her terrified eyes, approaching her ear and whispering softly, "If you can't complete the task, you will die if you go back. I'd better keep your corpses."

As soon as the words fell, the next second, her neck was broken in his hands

Early the next morning, there was no news of General Long's accidental illness or death in the mansion, nor did the [-] border troops stationed outside the city experience anything. Instead, something else happened in the mansion. Two maids died. It was said to the outside world that it was improper service, but probably only a few people knew what was going on in their hearts.

At the time of the court, General Long arrived on time and asked the emperor to deal with the Minister Shao. His purpose of coming here was to send Master Shao back for disposal, but to ask the emperor for an explanation. He's going back to the border, what's the point of staying here.

What is the crime of Lord Shao, the Minister of Internal Affairs, who is now known to all civil and military courts in the court, swallowing disaster relief money, embarrassing local officials, and abandoning the lives of the suffering people, how can such a person continue to be an official.

But even so, the emperor still couldn't come up with a straightforward solution. He kept silent until the dinner yesterday afternoon. Today, General Long came to ask directly how to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, the evidence is convincing. Such a guilty minister should be beheaded as a warning to others. You can do it for me." General Long's appearance was a direct suggestion. Xiao Jingyi didn't talk about why he was still alive. Regarding the conviction he said, he was very happy. It is clear that there is no result. Hundreds of officials will not accept it, and neither will the common people.

"What will be the sentence? There is no need for General Long to worry about it. I have my own opinion." At this point, Xiao Jingyi is still unwilling to execute the Minister of Internal Affairs. The expressions of Shao Ziyu and others who are listening below are surprised. Isn't that enough?

"I want to give an explanation to the people of the three prefectures, so you, the emperor, will naturally give an explanation to the minister and the people of the world." General Long said, and quickly raised this to the world. Officials, his [-] guards may be useful here without going back.

The atmosphere above the court turned cold again, General Long's tone was exactly the same as yesterday outside the city wall, he just wanted to force the emperor to make a decision on this matter.

Xiao Jingyi smiled instead of anger, "Then how to deal with it according to General Long's opinion."

"Execution." Long He gave these two words very simply, perhaps because he realized that this murderer is often used on the battlefield, so he changed his tone, "Remove, ransack the house, and put him in prison."

If he didn't execute him, he had even thought about the next move. Long He was sure he would not give up until he saw the result of this matter. Xiao Jingyi looked at the courtiers in the hall, and named Prince Bei, "Uncle Huang, what do you think? How it should be."

Don't say how long it will be at this time, Prince Bei's words may not be very polite, but General Long is rude to the emperor, and Prince Bei is naturally rude to Minister Shao.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court ordered the officials to go to the disaster relief according to the order, but you have lost your trust, the Majesty. Not to mention embezzling the relief money, it is even more arrogant and extravagant to go all the way. Not only did they not do anything in the three states, but they even ordered the officials to ignore the people. , according to the law, such a serious crime should be executed."

There is nothing wrong with bringing up this law. Prince Bei is now a prince. He does not assist ministers and does not teach the emperor anything. Therefore, he only presents the most objective facts in front of the emperor. How to decide is up to the emperor himself. .

This seemed to be the most difficult decision, Xiao Jingyi shook hands under his sleeves, and finally said, "I will be sent to the sky prison, and I will be tried and convicted in three days."

This is the time for all the officials to kneel down and shout for the wiseness of the sage, but Xiao Jingyi couldn't be happy at all, he couldn't move this Long He
After retiring from the imperial court, I returned to Chengqian Palace. The eunuchs outside the palace listened to the voices in the palace, and everyone was too scared to move. Several ministers wanted to come to ask for a performance, but they came back after discussing it now. The emperor was angry. If you go in, you will definitely not fall well.

In the hall, Xiao Jingyi threw the dossier on the table to the ground, pointed at the eunuch kneeling on the ground and cursed, "A good solution? This is the good solution you thought of. Send two beauties to solve it without anyone noticing. They also sent people to deliver food outside the city, look, those people outside the city are all fine now, and the people who died in the mansion were the people you said could do things!"

"Your Majesty calm down, I really have arranged people, and the army outside the city also accepted all the food and wine, but I don't know why they are fine after eating."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jingyi kicked him, "It's not that they are fine after eating, but they didn't eat at all!"

He sent people to reward the [-] guards guarding outside the city gate with wine and food, and how much wine was brought over, but none of them was knocked down. They didn't even hurt him at the mansion, but instead He lost his life, how could he not be angry.

"Your Majesty, it's easy to defend with a sharp spear, but hard to dodge with a dark arrow. This General Long is so disobedient. Since he wants to stay in Luodu City until Master Shao is executed, he can defend for a while, and he can defend for a lifetime." Quickly think of other things. The eunuch kneeling on the ground quickly thought of another plan, Xiao Jingyi looked at him, and kicked again, "Idiot, those people outside the city gate are vegetarians, if you The method can work, I have already taken him down in the court today."

If he was really a foolish king, he would have directly captured General Long and locked him up in court today, but he is a gnashing of teeth to be a wise monarch, he wants things on the bright side, and even more so, he needs the control of this son .

The eunuch outside suddenly entered the hall, knelt at the door of the hall and did not dare to get too close, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the inner palace is here to report that the empress is about to give birth."
