Chapter 175 Lure the Enemy Deep
The summer sun is getting stronger, and the hot summer air is steaming, making people's mouth and tongue even more dry.
Zhongshu ordered Wei Kang to kneel at the door of the Yangxin Palace. The vermilion door was tightly closed. The palace people who came and went glanced at him a few times as if they were watching the fun. The people who were staring directly had no room to rest their faces.
.
"I heard that Yushi Pei witnessed this with his own eyes and wrote three memorials in a row. Before the ink was dry, he sent them to the Yangxin Palace." Someone whispered quietly.
"More than that, I saw Eunuch Tian just sighing and taking another pile in. They are all to impeach the Wei family!"
"But Mrs. Wei only cares and becomes confused..."
"Care leads to chaos, but it can't make the princess so angry that she almost dies! Princess Xihe has served the Queen Mother with merit before, and she is the princess who was personally named by the emperor. This lotus banquet is also to welcome the Xiliang envoy
It was just done at the princess's palace. If Mrs. Wei insults Xi and the princess like this, wouldn't it be the emperor's face that she will be slapped on?"
"Ha! You really deserve it..."
"I heard that Concubine Jing wanted to come to plead for mercy, but she was punished and grounded..."
The little eunuchs murmured, their voices full of mockery.
Wei Kang only felt that his face was getting stiffer and stiffer.
In the Yangxin Hall, Qin Cang's face was still filled with anger, "Your Majesty Tuoba, did you enjoy the banquet yesterday? I'm not strict in governing, so I'm making you laugh now."
Tuoba Kui heard the words and said in a warm voice, "The Emperor of Qin is joking. Ever since I was born, I have heard that Dashun Tianxia Haiyanheqing is clear. I think this is the contribution of the Emperor Qin for generations. If there is such a short-sighted person, Qin
It would be a warning for the emperor to teach you a lesson."
"Hahahaha." Qin Cang's face softened a little, and he walked to the side and sat down next to the chessboard, "His Majesty Tuoba still has the talent to govern the country. How about you and I play a game?"
Tuoba Kui stood up calmly, his white robe with gold threads hanging on his heels, and sat directly opposite Qin Cang, "The emperor invited me, so I should accompany you."
Playing chess is the best way to see a person's intelligence and character. It seems that old Qin Cang wants to test him!
On the white jade chessboard placed on the table, Qin Cang dropped the white pieces unceremoniously, "I heard that Your Majesty Tuoba also went to the Princess's Mansion early in the morning?"
"I just attended the banquet at the mansion yesterday, and today I heard that the princess is injured, so I should go and visit her."
Qin Cang's eyes were full of smiles, "His Majesty Tuoba is so tender and caring at such a young age. It's only strange that we, Princess Xihe, are famous for having conquered the country and conquered the city. People will never forget her."
Tuoba Kui chuckled lightly, as if he didn't understand the hint in Qin Cang's words. Xihe was his biological sister, and he could never forget her.
But Qin Cang simply wanted to mess up the Yuanyang spectrum.
Tuoba Kui picked up a black stone and placed it on the chessboard leisurely, "I can't forget it once I see it. The princess's brother, General Yunqi of Zhenxi, has been guarding the border for many years, but he is my old friend!"
As soon as I saw Na Xi and the princess, I remembered the several conflicts I had with Na Yunqi when I was young."
"When the Yunnan territory returns to Dashun in the future, I also hope that General Yunqi can show his noble hand and let me go."
After hearing this, Qin Cang felt more and more comfortable, "Your Majesty Tuoba, at such a young age, it is really rare for him to serve the country and the people!"
"In his position, he will do his best! I am also willing to learn from Emperor Dashun, so that the world of Xiliang will be prosperous and peaceful."
Qin Cang was overjoyed by these two words of flattery, and the temptation in his heart disappeared.
He felt more and more that Tuoba Kui was really young, capable and well-aware of current affairs. Looking at the large number of equally matched chess pieces on the chessboard, he sighed, "Look, His Majesty Tuoba Kui is only in his early twenties.
Such a majestic and majestic strategy! Although my son is your age, he only knows how to place his affection on poems, calligraphy and painting scrolls, and he really cannot carry them."
After he finished, he added, "The poem he wrote yesterday was quite good. Did His Majesty Tuoba also hear it?"
Tuoba Kui, on the other hand, frowned slightly and asked knowingly after leaving his son behind, "The poem is naturally good... But, I heard earlier that Your Majesty has three sons, why did you only see the second prince yesterday?"
"well."
Qin Cang just felt more comfortable and then became lonely again. He had managed the country so cleanly and peacefully, but the thought of the useless and useless prince and the disabled third prince still made him feel miserable!
There's no way a hundred years from now, we won't even be able to find a useful heir! Now the only one left, the second prince, is an unlucky one, but you can see that the Wei family is also eyeing him, as if he wants his relatives to rule the country.
!
Is this great fortune about to fall into the hands of others?
Qin Cang sighed heavily, put the chess pieces in his hands on the chessboard again, and could only say, "It's my bad luck!"
The chess pieces on the chessboard are densely packed. The white pieces are leading the way and marching straight in, but the black pieces seem to be a little afraid and dare not move forward, and they seem to be retreating steadily.
Tuoba Kui looked at Qin Cang, who suddenly looked desolate, and calmly dropped another sunspot, tempting Qin Cang to go deeper step by step.
"Your Majesty is in his prime, and he will definitely make further progress in the matter of having children. When my father was in his forties, my concubine gave birth to a pair of sons, a boy and a phoenix."
Qin Cang only regarded this as comforting him, but his expression was still obscure, "Although I am the emperor, I may not be so lucky. I have taken a lot of decoctions prescribed by the imperial doctor, and there are quite a few healthy concubines in the harem, but they are always unable to
Let me get my wish."
Tuoba Kui chuckled lightly, "The Emperor Qin doesn't know something. My father is not a lucky man blessed by God. In Xiliang, there is a kind of golden elixir that strengthens the body. If a man takes it, he will become a dragon spirit."
Tigers are ferocious and prolong their lives. My father takes the golden elixir all the year round so that he can have children in his old age."
"If Emperor Qin needs it, I happen to have a few of them with me. This is to prevent him from getting used to the climate... But it seems more appropriate to give them to Emperor Qin."
As he spoke, he took out the golden elixir he had prepared earlier from his sleeve and pushed it from the chessboard together with the gourd containing the pills. "Emperor Qin, please let the imperial doctor take a look first to see if the medicinal properties of this golden elixir are consistent with yours."
Is it compatible with your physique? It would be best if you have to use it.”
Qin Cang's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but relax slightly as he looked at the small jade gourd, "Is it really so magical?"
Tuoba Kui lowered his eyelashes and stretched out his hand to drop another one, "It also varies from person to person. If it can relieve Emperor Qin's worries, I can only do a good deed by sitting down."
Qin Cang's face immediately showed joy, and he patted Tuoba Kui on the shoulder, "Your Majesty Tuoba, it's so late for me and you to meet each other!"
After a game of chess, Tuoba Kui lost to Qin Cang just in time.
Although he only won by half, Qin Cang felt that he had solved a big problem that had been accumulating in his chest, and he suddenly felt refreshed. He asked Eunuch Tian to invite the imperial doctor to test that the golden elixir was non-toxic.
After it was harmless, I couldn't wait to take it.
Tuoba Kui got up at the right time to say goodbye, while Qin Cang got up and went to the harem, leaving Wei Kang, the secretary of the Central Committee, to kneel outside the door of Yangxin Hall in the bright sun.
When passing by Wei Kang, he seemed to be kind-hearted and stopped in his tracks, "Master Wei, your Emperor Qin has calmed down, and he may summon you in a few moments. Sir, please work harder."
Wei Kang had an old pale face, raised his head tremblingly, and muttered, "Yes!"
He doesn't want to beg now, he just wants the emperor to be noble and let his wife go. Isn't that just kneeling as punishment? He can just kneel!
Little did he know that Qin Cang had taken the golden elixir and was busy going to the harem to have fun, so how could he have time to see him!
Tuoba Kui left the palace and got on the carriage back to Honglu Temple alone. He raised his hand in disgust and tore off the clothes on his shoulders that Qin Cang had patted just now, like throwing away garbage.
