Chapter 240 The biased old emperor
Chapter 240 The biased old emperor
Xiao Jun'an replied: "My cousin is indeed an expert in making poisons, but he is also a master without the right ingredients. He only has one magical herb, which he has just used to treat the Beiyu Army. Therefore, now he only needs to take out my Qiancao Pill to treat the Beijing Army."
After saying this, he respectfully presented the Chigusa Pill in his hand.
Jiang Shou looked at the emperor and did not take it.
The emperor stroked his beard and praised: "It is rare for An'er to be so filial and calm when faced with a problem. He was able to develop an antidote at the first moment to minimize the damage. I am very pleased. This Qiancao Pill is your life-saving medicine. You can go and treat the Beijing Army yourself!"
Although the emperor said nothing, it seemed as if he had said everything.
I'm afraid that in the near future, the Beijing Army will be under the command of Xiao Jun'an?
King Ning and King Jing were greatly disappointed. What about the military power that was within their grasp?
King Jing stood up and said, "Father, how should we punish my fourth brother for his failure to control his subordinates?"
Xiao Yihang snorted coldly: "Brother, didn't you hear the emperor's praise for the third and fourth brothers just now?"
King Jing was puzzled and said, "I only heard the emperor's praise for my third brother, so why did you mention my fourth brother? Xiao Yihang, you dare to speak such deceitful words in the court."
Xiao Yihang said disapprovingly, "Fourth brother and third brother did exactly the same thing. They both took charge of the military camp and calmed the people's hearts at the first moment, and they were willing to give their soldiers their own life-saving medicine. How can you favor one over the other? Right, father? You just praised the third and fourth brothers, right?"
The emperor had just taken a sip of tea when he was obviously choked by Xiao Yihang's question. Eunuch Jiang was so anxious that he patted his back gently.
Xiao Hanye sneered. Favoring one over the other? It has always been like this.
"No, Your Majesty should only praise Prince Yan!"
Hearing this, the old emperor choked again. He looked down towards the source of the voice and found that it was Lord Pei, the Minister of Justice.
Seeing Lord Pei, he became even more blocked.
This is a veteran of three dynasties, very stubborn. He had just run into the big pillar of the court because he didn't agree with his son's wedding with the sixth princess...
However, although this old man is stubborn, he is very upright. Whenever he speaks, his words are always reasonable and well-founded.
It was precisely because of this reasonable and well-founded argument that he was unwilling to listen.
"Your Majesty, when the military camp was on high alert yesterday, the Prince was having sex in broad daylight in the palace. Therefore, what the Prince did today was just to make up for it and cannot be praised!"
The emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy, and Xiao Jun'an's face wasn't much paler.
Regarding what happened yesterday, he always thought that it was Chu Nanyue who was poisoned by Mei'er. After all, Princess Nanye targeted her so much at that time, so he never thought that it was Lin Yueyao who was poisoned by Mei'er.
In other words, if he knew that it was Lin Yueyao who was pregnant with Mei'er, he would not know what choice he would make.
Suddenly, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Hanye.
I saw Xiao Hanye was also looking at him, and after a brief eye contact, the two of them left.
The Beilin Army was eyeing the situation covetously, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie. In addition, the emperor was determined to delegate power, and the sudden occurrence of a soldier being infected with a strange poison was simply a godsend. It was a situation that was originally unbreakable, but unexpectedly, he was able to break it.
Moreover, the two of them were tied to the same rope, and he was even tied tighter.
"What? In such a critical situation, Prince Yu still has the mind to indulge in lust in broad daylight?"
"I can't believe that a gentleman who is usually as bright as the moon can't control his lower body like this?"
"After all, he is at an age full of vigor and vitality, and the man living in the mansion is still so lively and flamboyant. No one can resist him."
"That depends on the time. No one can see you having sex seven times a night behind closed doors. But you have to do that dirty thing and imitate others in committing adultery in the daytime. It's really disgraceful."
......
Xiao Hanye scratched his ears and felt happy for some reason.
It turns out that a gentleman would also do that when he is with someone he doesn't love?
That's it? Chu Nanyue always praises him...
What the hell is this?
Hammer's father was naturally unhappy to hear outsiders talking about his own Hammer. He said in a domineering and majestic manner: "Now that all the major military camps are safe, it means that God is blessing our Northern Xiao Kingdom. If the thieves really take advantage of this to cause chaos, the consequences will be disastrous. Although there were some minor incidents, overall, this time the King of Yu and the King of Yan reacted very quickly and made the right decision without losing a single soldier. The punishment is offset. In the future, I hope the two of them will continue to be diligent and self-disciplined."
Xiao Hanye and Xiao Jun'an bowed their heads at the same time and said, "Your sons obey your orders."
Prince Ning was not happy. At that time, he had only lost the military defense map, and the emperor took back his military power without saying a word. But when it came to Prince Yu and Prince Yan, it was like a punishment offsetting their own faults. So he refused to give up and said, "Father..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor said with a tired look: "I am tired, everyone please leave!"
Can't you see that he is favoring Xiao Junan?
Everyone looked at each other, saluted, and left one after another.
After the hall was restored to peace, the emperor, who had originally looked tired, suddenly sat up straight and said with a sinister look on his face: "Ye Xuan!"
Suddenly, a Rakshasa ghost soldier dressed in black fell from the sky.
Why is he called the Rakshasa Ghost Army? Because he wears a Rakshasa mask with a ghost face.
Ye Xuan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"
The emperor twisted his fingers lightly and said nonchalantly: "Investigate the poisoning incident in the military camp!"
The army directly determines the survival of a country. Anyone who dares to attack his army of hundreds of thousands will die!
His voice was not loud and he looked nonchalant, but in fact, the moment he called out the long-lost word "Ye Xuan", it was proven that his bottom line had been touched.
Ye Xuan is the leader of the Yelong Army, and the Yelong Army only exists to provide escort.
No one except the Emperor knew of their existence.
When he reached the door, Xiao Hanye saw that Prince Ning seemed to be staring at him, so he walked over with a smile and said hello: "What's up? Second brother, you spent so much effort to plan, but it all came to nothing?"
Almost half of the officials in the court today wrote a letter to impeach him, and he dared to conclude that the people behind it must be members of the Yao family.
The Beilin Army was divided into two as they wished. The old emperor now had no available generals, so he could only appoint Prince Ning to take charge of one of them. Therefore, Prince Ning was the biggest beneficiary.
But later, Ouyang Qing cured the poison of Xiaoyao Powder in just a moment, which made him confused again.
Although Ouyang Qing came from the Western Regions and was good at using poison, his personal emotions were also taken into account here.
In his heart, Chu Nanyue is no worse than Ouyang Qing. Chu Nanyue had to figure things out bit by bit, so how could Ouyang Qing see it at a glance?
Of course, it could also be a coincidence that he happened to know Xiaoyao Powder, or maybe he was the one who originally made Xiaoyao Powder.
Now, hasn’t Xiao Jun’an obtained the Beijing Army in disguise?
Of course, these are all guesses.
In short, King Ning, King Yu, even King Jing and the Kingdom of Nanye are all possibilities.
Prince Ning didn't know about this, but it was a godsend for him. How could Prince Yan escape from it?
And why did Lin Yueyao drink that cup of Mei'er?
Moreover, in such a critical situation, Xiao Jun'an and Lin Yueyao were committing adultery in broad daylight, and the emperor turned a blind eye and let it go. This really showed that his partiality to him was excessive.
He got nothing, so he snorted coldly and left.
At this time, Xiao Jun'an passed by Xiao Hanye, and Xiao Hanye said, "Third brother is really lucky. We spent a lot of effort to develop the antidote for Xiaoyao Powder, but third brother can do it easily!"
Xiao Jun'an looked back and said with a smile, "Fourth brother is really lucky. Mei'er, who was supposed to be in the belly of Princess Yan, actually ended up in Concubine Lin's belly?"
After that, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If that's the case, will Fourth Brother continue to stay in the military camp or will he indulge in lust in broad daylight like me?"
He really wanted to know.
But Xiao Hanye didn't do as he wished. He smiled ambiguously: "Tsk tsk tsk... the palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh... I have to think about this carefully!"
After saying this, he walked away with a smile.
Xiao Jun'an narrowed his eyes and quickly rushed towards the Beijing army.
