MTL - I Thought I Was Straight-Chapter 113 After getting off the dragon bed, the minister panicked④
Li Xiu pretended to be dead with his eyes closed and was carried towards the apse by Yan Ge. He huddled in Yang Ge's arms, feeling that this arm was so strong and powerful that one couldn't help but feel a sense of security.
The last time he was hugged like this was when he was breastfeeding, but now he is being hugged by a big man, it feels awkward. Thinking of the tacit understanding between him and Yan Ge in the early court just now, and the tacit understanding between him and the powerful officials who he wanted to get rid of quickly, let's not mention Li Xiu's feeling.
Once in the apse, Li Xiu struggled to get down, but Yan Ge put him down. After standing still, Li Xiu turned and looked at Yan Ge, and was about to say something, but when she saw Yan Ge's gentle and serious expression, Li Xiu couldn't say anything.
The two just stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward. It was Yan Ge who was thick-skinned and took the lead to break the embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty should be at ease, the prime minister didn't come with him."
Of course I knew that he didn't follow. Li Xiu had just received Yan Ge's help, so she couldn't show her face to him, so she said awkwardly, "Just now... I really have Ai Qing."
Yan Ge immediately expressed his loyalty and said, "It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of His Majesty."
Hmph, it would be great if you did as you said. Li Xiu didn't believe Yan Ge's words at all. In his mind, Yan Ge and Yang Yanqing were both traitors and traitors. Don't you see that the person I sent out to proclaim the decree hasn't come back yet? It must have been secretly killed by the treacherous minister, Yan Ge.
In her heart, she felt that Yan Ge was the boss, but she didn't show it on the surface. Li Xiu even patted Yan Ge's shoulder hypocritically and said, "With a capable minister like Ai Qing, I can rest assured."
Yan Ge: "Your Majesty praises you so much, I am ashamed and dare not take it."
Here the monarchs and ministers are hypocritically complimenting each other, while Yang Yanqing and his henchmen over there are very worried. It is said that reckless men who serve as soldiers are unlearned and have a stupid mouth, but why is Yang Ge's mouth so stupid? Not only is he not stupid, but he is very powerful. He is no match for civil and military officials in all courts. Do you think he is infuriating or not?
Yang Yanqing's loyal running dog Minister of the Ministry of War said: "Master Prime Minister, you must not leave, you are our backbone, if you are not here, what do we have to fight against Yan Ge?"
"That's what I said, but if the old man didn't refuse in class, it's considered as an agreement. If you want to go back on your word, you'd be deceiving the emperor." Yang Yanqing's old face was full of sorrow, and he said with emotion: "What can I do for it?"
The more flexible Guozijian said to the wine: "My lord, the only way out for now is to procrastinate."
"Oh?" Yang Yanqing said, "How do you say that?"
"Didn't Yan Ge pretend to be sick? Didn't Your Majesty pretend to be sick? Your lord, you pretend to be sick too." Guozijian said with a smile: "You said you were sick when you went back. If your majesty sends someone to urge you, you will say that you are too sick to leave , wait until the illness recovers before leaving. But the disaster waits for no one, His Majesty will never delay important events for your lord, and he will change the candidate when the time comes."
Everyone in the room stroked their beards and nodded with a smile. This is a good strategy. Even if His Majesty knows that the Prime Minister is pretending to be sick, he can only admit it with his nose.
When Li Xiu knew that Yang Yanqing was pretending to be sick at home and refused to leave, her nose was crooked with anger. This old man is really hateful, I wish I could cut him into pieces. It's just that no matter what Li Xiuqi became, he couldn't do anything about Yang Yanqing, so he became even more angry.
Just when Li Xiuqi was about to fall ill, Chen Hong, the chief executive, said, "Your Majesty, there is someone who can help you relieve your worries."
Li Xiuwai said listlessly on the soft bed: "The civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty are all Yang Yanqing's people, who is willing to share my worries?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Isn't there a newcomer who is the prime minister's deadly enemy?" Chen Hong pointed to the north.
"You mean Yan Ge?" Li Xiu sat up straight, waved his hands and said, "No, even though Yan Ge and Yang Yanqing are rivals, they are also like dogs. They are both traitors."
"Your Majesty, look at what you said." Chen Hongdao: "It's not that you regard him as your confidant, wouldn't it be just right to let rebellious officials and thieves deal with rebellious officials and thieves?"
Li Xiu's eyes lit up, and she praised: "You're right, let them bite dogs."
Of course, Yang Yanqing's feigning illness cannot be hidden from Yan Ge, and of course Yan Ge has ways to deal with him. But he can't be so active in this matter, the little emperor is clearly guarding against himself, if he rushes to get up, isn't it too cheap? He had to ask the emperor to ask him for help, so that he wouldn't think that everything he did for him was due.
Sure enough, the little emperor sent Chen Hong to invite him into the palace. Yan Ge put on court clothes and followed Chen Hong into the palace. The little emperor still saw him in the imperial study, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, he saw the little emperor sitting behind the desk, looking at him warmly with a smiling spring breeze.
As expected, his attitude towards asking for help was different, and Yan Ge saluted calmly: "I see your majesty."
"No courtesy." Li Xiu said to Chen Hong again: "Give me a seat."
Chen Hong moved an embroidered stool over, and Yan Ge was not polite, he sat down on it and said, "I don't know what your Majesty summoned the ministers for?"
Li Xiu immediately put on a worried face and said, "Does Ai Qing know about the prime minister's illness?"
"I know." Yan Ge regretted, "Oh, the old prime minister still doesn't take good care of his body."
fart! He is simply pretending to be sick! Li Xiudao: "Aiqing, you are wrong. If you say that in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is no one who cares more about his body than the prime minister. Think about it, he fell ill just after I sent him to Gansu for disaster relief. Isn't it a bit of a coincidence?"
If it is said that Yan Ge's acting skills have been perfected for so many years, he immediately pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah? Your Majesty, you mean that the prime minister is pretending..."
"Yeah." Li Xiu concluded, "He's just pretending to be sick." After he finished speaking, he really wanted to wipe off his sweat, thinking that talking to Yan Ge was really tiring.
"It's too much!" Yan Ge slapped his thigh and stood up, saying: "This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Ah." Li Xiu sighed, "But he pretended to be sick, and the imperial doctor gave him proof, so I can't say he's not. Seeing that the disaster in Gansu is imminent, since the prime minister really doesn't want to go, I have no choice but to send someone else. "
"No need." Yan Ge said: "I have a way to make the prime minister go to Gansu obediently."
"Really?" Li Xiuxin said, just waiting for your words.
"I don't dare to speak in vain. Since the prime minister recommended by me is going to relieve the disaster, I will naturally be responsible to the end." After speaking, Yan Ge looked up at Li Xiu, and said, "It is my duty to share your majesty's worries."
Li Xiu suddenly looked at Yan Ge, and felt that those eyes were clear and hot. If other people looked at him with such eyes, he would definitely think that he was a loyal minister who was dedicated to the king. This person is Yan Ge, he can't help but feel that this Yan Ge is so good at pretending, it seems difficult to deal with.
Having been stared at by this look for a long time, Li Xiuju felt a little uncomfortable, he took the lead to look away, and said: "So, I'll leave it to Ai Qing."
"I obey the order." After Yan Ge finished speaking, he grinned at Li Xiu.
His smile turned out to be very sunny, Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Yan Ge was only three years older than herself, but he was a real young man. He had a very strict family education since he was a child, and he didn't have many brothers and sisters, let alone getting along with his peers after becoming an emperor. At this moment, seeing Yan Ge like this, he felt a little regretful. If he wasn't such a rebellious minister, he would be a rare person around him who could talk.
Yang Yanqing was pretending to be sick at home, when suddenly the eldest son ran in panic like a chicken being chased by the cook, "It's not good! Dad, it's not good, Dad!"
It's unlucky to be cursed by his own son so early in the morning, Yang Yanqing said angrily, "What are you in such a hurry for?"
"It's not good, Dad." The eldest son rushed in and shouted: "Our house is surrounded!"
"What?" Yang Yanqing thought he heard it wrong, "What did you say?"
"Our family is surrounded by an army of 20,000, surrounded by several floors." The eldest son was so frightened that he almost cried, "What should we do, Dad?"
Yang Yanqing was also stunned, he never dreamed that someone in the capital would dare to lead troops to besiege his prime minister's mansion? He grabbed his son's hand and said, "Is it because Yan Ge has rebelled?"
The eldest son said with tears in his eyes, "I don't know. I came here as soon as I saw our house was surrounded. I don't know why."
Rao is that the old Cheng has no hope for his son, so he can't help but wonder if this is really the old man's seed? He said angrily: "If you don't know, why don't you ask quickly?!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
Yang Yanqing: "..."
So Yang Yanqing could only put on his clothes and walked to the door with the support of his son. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a general wearing a brass armor and a scarlet cloak standing at the door and said, "Isn't the prime minister coming out? Who said the prime minister couldn't get out of bed when he was sick?"
When Yang Yanqing saw that his home was indeed surrounded, he was really angry and scared, and said: "This general, dare to ask what crime this old man has committed?"
The general said: "You did not commit a crime."
Now Yang Yanqing was even more angry, and said: "Then why are you surrounding my mansion? Do you know it's against the law?"
"What law?" The craftsman soul said indifferently: "The humble job is Xu Meng, a general under the command of the general, who was ordered to go to Gansu to rescue the disaster. Knowing that the prime minister is going to Gansu, he specially came to invite the prime minister to go with him, and he must take care of him on the way. two."
When Yang Yanqing heard it, he immediately said angrily, "cough cough cough... old man... old man is seriously ill..."
"What serious illness?" Xu Meng raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you recover just now?"
Yang Yanqing's eldest son immediately explained: "My father..."
"You don't have a place to talk here!" Xu Meng said to Yang Yanqing: "You are hesitant to push back and forth. Could it be that you look down on this general and don't want to go with him?"
"No, no." Yang Yanqing said, "Absolutely not, old man..."
"Since it's not, let's go, the victims can't wait." Xu Meng waved his hand and said, "Come here, help the prime minister into the carriage."
Yang Yanqing struggled desperately, "No, no, no...I won't go, I won't go..."
But he was over sixty years old, how could he overcome these wolf-like soldiers, and he was still invited into the carriage. Young Master Yang was in a hurry, "I can't leave, I didn't bring my father's official uniform and seal."
"Hahaha...Thank you for reminding me." Hearing a heroic laugh, Mr. Yang was grabbed by the shoulder by Xu Meng, and said: "Then please ask Mr. Yang to prepare everything for the prime minister."
Young Master Yang still wanted to refuse, but Xu Meng grabbed his shoulder and lifted his feet lightly, and his feet left the ground. Having never experienced such a horrible thing in such a big age, Mr. Yang burst into tears on the spot.
"Daddy! Daddy save me!"
"I asked you to prepare it for your father, why are you crying?" Xu Meng carried Mr. Yang into the prime minister's mansion, "You really look like a bitch."
