Emperor Jin

Chapter 197
Bao Jin stared intently at the flickering candles beside him, and also felt restless. He looked up at the chieftains, but saw the huge golden rings swaying around their ears. Scratching his ears and cheeks, he was already burning with anxiety.

Baojin was not on duty today, and the emperor asked her to go back to dress up early, so she didn't know the emperor's whereabouts. She looked around, but she didn't see Zhang Xun. , after two people whispered to each other, they showed a fierce look at the concubine Xian, who was very unkind.

What's the trouble with this?
Bao Jin looked carefully for a long while, and finally saw the name from the high crowns of these chieftains - they came from former Tibet. Their fiefdoms were intertwined with those of Shu. There have been a lot of troubles between the big and the small, and the emperor solemnly put them on the state banquet in the court hall. This is another good move to deal with the Shu land.

But when they met for the first time, why did they look like this to the woman in the harem? Could it be...? !

At this moment, Baojin's heart flashed across Yunshi's heroic and affectionate face, flashing like lightning, her heart sank, she didn't have time to think about it, she only heard the sharp and loud voice of the chief of ceremonies outside the main hall-the emperor has finally arrived!
All of a sudden, the hall was silent, and the people kneeling on the ground peeked out, only to see the emperor and the empress, striding across the threshold.

He lowered his head slightly, half of his face was covered by the darkness of the lamp flame, the lines of his lips were tightly pursed, almost like a chisel, he held the Queen stiffly with one hand, and walked faster and faster.He didn't know whether it was because the blue-gold brick floor was too slippery or because he was restless, but his feet slipped and he almost staggered and fell to the ground.

The eunuch on the side jumped, and hurriedly stretched out his hands, but the emperor snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and the strong wind drove them back. First, sit down before the imperial case.

The officials of the Honglu Temple on the side were terrified to see it, their duty was, they bit the bullet and went forward to introduce a few young chieftains to the emperor. The emperor raised his head and tried his best to smile softly: "These are rare visitors. I am busy with trivial matters today. , but neglected."

Those few people responded abruptly, dare not even say anything, at first one person with a fierce look made a flattering smile and said: "The Holy Son of Heaven is so kind, we can only be grateful, how can there be negligence."

He seemed to see the gods and Buddhas he worshiped, and he was infinitely excited and admiring, flattering, but then he showed misery, crying that they had been suppressed and ravaged by the Shu Palace over the years.

Finally, he changed the topic, "Xiao Wang was waiting for the heavens to send someone to rescue me in his dreams. He was in the middle of the water and fire. Last month, Master Yun finally came, but he never thought that he would be with the new king instead." Collusion..."

Here he makes vivid gestures, comparing Yun Shi to the sinister Han Shi Wang Mang who usurped the throne. Fortunately, he knows some Han classics, and he speaks sincerely, wanting to cry without tears. At the end, when he went to question Yun, he almost twisted his face, and said in a cold voice after imitating Yun: "The two ladies in my family are by Wansui's side, and if there is any disturbance, they are extremely well-informed." , if you want to sue, just go - I'm afraid you may not be able to see the Holy Majesty safely, and your head will fall to the ground!"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yun Xian and Xu Yinghua exclaimed, looking at the two emperors and empresses, they saw that their expressions were unpredictable, Concubine Yun Xian gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of the hall, "My younger brother is always calm, How could you say such arrogant words?!"

The emperor nodded and said: "Ah Shi is usually reticent and restrained, this doesn't seem to be his tone..."

Concubine Yun Xian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the emperor laughed again and said: "It's just that one person is in control, and success is imminent, so there's no need to hide your strength and bide your time. It's not surprising that you are young and successful, and speak wild words."

Although these words do not sound bad, but combined with the crying of the chieftain earlier, everyone in the hall listened, but there was a thump in their hearts, and an idea popped up at the same time——

At the time of the cloud, this person is in danger!

The emperor glanced at the shivering Concubine Yun Xian, and said with an undiminished smile, "Are you cold, concubine? It's cold in autumn and night, so you should wear more clothes."

Xu Yinghua saw that his aunt was in a hurry to speak, and knew that this time it was extremely dangerous--the previous catastrophes were caused by the empress, but the emperor was more or less protective. Now the emperor acted lightly, but almost pushed them away. Into the cliff.

She gritted her teeth and knelt down in the same way, "Long live, please... No matter what my uncle is doing outside the palace, the concubine Xian and I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, but they have never interfered in the slightest."

She resigned her fate with wide eyes and looked at the emperor devoutly, "The incident of the theft of the memorial last time has already proved my innocence--once I enter the palace gate, I will be a man of long live, and I will not dare to shame you even if I die."

She vaguely added the accent to the last two words, both expressing loyalty and implication: both of them are the emperor's concubines, if they implicate their relatives, the emperor will be ashamed.

The emperor had a good impression of her on weekdays, and he would most likely be able to respond to anything he asked with soft words. This time, she was so exquisite and affectionate, but he never received the emperor's sympathy. He thought a little coldly for a while, probably He didn't want to bring the family affairs to the court to lose face, so he said lightly: "Whether you are involved or not will be discussed later."

After a brief gesture, a maidservant appeared on the side, and she couldn't help but "invite" the two of them out of the hall, and headed towards the Jincui Palace—this time of confinement, I'm afraid it's more ominous.

His Highness and ministers were discussing a lot, but the Queen coughed and reprimanded: "Prince Jing is only being impeached now, not with solid evidence. For the sake of the two sisters' innocence, they are only temporarily grounded... you are whispering and spreading rumors indiscriminately... , is it the etiquette that my dynasty should have?"

With this statement, many people settled down, but they didn't believe the statement that "the evidence is not conclusive" at all--there has been such a big fanfare, can it be brought back?
At this time, those chieftains were all smiling, as if they were relieved, they knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, and praised the emperor's sage. They are waiting outside the hall, and now they can also be invited together, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to talk happily?"
