After a pause, Xu Yi asked: "Did Eunuch Mu Ru test the ministers? Fortunately, the ten thousand taels are still there."
Yu Wenhao said expressionlessly: "No, borrowing money is true. Although the money was not used for gambling, it was used for other livelihoods. If you make money, I will return it to you, and forget about the loss."
Xu Yi beat his chest and howled, "My father-in-law made me bankrupt."
"Just remember this lesson. If anyone asks you to do something in the future, just think about the pain of losing these ten thousand taels. Stand taller. If anyone calls you, pick up a bone and bring it to them. Are you a dog?
?”
Xu Yi sighed, "You know I'm Lu Lu, don't you just want to make some connections?"
Yu Wenhao glared at him with his dragon eyes, "What kind of connections do you want? I am not enough for you to show off as the emperor?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly. Enough is enough, but it's not easy to lift a Bodhisattva out all the time... But when the emperor said this, he felt a little moved in his heart. For a moment, he forgot the pain of losing ten thousand taels.
In the morning of the next day, Yu Wenhao specifically told Xu Yi to go to court.
After the civil and military officials entered the palace, Yu Wenhao was not busy discussing matters. Instead, he sat on the dragon chair, looked at the people below, and said: "Before discussing matters, I want to tell you a few old things. I don't know.
Are you interested in hearing my old stories?"
The emperor has been moody these days, and it is rare for him to speak so calmly. How could all the officials not be interested? They all immediately expressed their willingness to listen to the emperor's past affairs.
"I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed of fighting on the battlefield, with swords and swords flashing, blood mist filling the sky, and corpses stacked up. Have you ever seen such a scene?"
Only the military generals in the palace could answer this heart-wrenching question. The civil servants who usually talked eloquently had never seen it before and could not imagine how cruel it was.
"I was injured several times on the battlefield and faced several critical moments. At that time, I was still the King of Chu. Every time I went to battle, Mr. Xu would be the vanguard and the first soldier for me. He saved me from danger many times.
When I was hiding in the mansion, assassins kept coming to kill me. How many times did Mr. Xu protect me from the rain of swords and arrows? He is now covered with scars and old illnesses. Mr. Xu is my minister and my savior."
"After I ascended the throne, I did not entrust Master Xu with any important responsibilities. This caused many people to mistakenly think that Master Xu was useless. Wrong. It was a big mistake." Yu Wenhao's voice suddenly rose, his eyes were cold and his face was stern. "With him,
For Po Tian's contribution, even if I gave him a title, he would still deserve it. I was selfish and wanted to keep him by my side, so I asked him to do some easy errands, but you thought he was a soft persimmon and caught him.
Just pinch it. When you ask him to do things, you act like you are giving orders to him. After the work is done, you turn your back on them and don’t recognize them. You scold me whenever you want. When will it be your turn to treat my people like this?"
Lei Lei was so angry that he suddenly uttered the last sentence, and all the civil and military officials were so frightened that they knelt down and confessed.
Zhen Zifeng was about to faint, his heartbeat was racing. He... had insulted Mr. Xu many times, and he was merciless every time.
Finally, he was certain that the emperor recently summoned him to kneel in the imperial study room just because he wanted to vent his anger on Master Xu.
Xu Yi listened blankly, turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, Your Majesty, really, how could you talk about this kind of thing in the morning? He is not an important minister.
"Lord Mai!" Yu Wenhao shouted, and then he saw Lord Mai, the husband of Princess An Da, kneeling out. His face was frightened and his face turned pale. The emperor called him out in anger, fearing that the man at home would
This bit caused him trouble again.
"Wei Chen is here!" Master Mai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said down.
Yu Wenhao's eyes were as bright as swords, but his voice was extremely soft, "I heard that when your princess was chatting with the officials, she said that our Xu Yi toad wanted to eat swan meat. Is this true?"
Saying these five words about our Xu Yi in an understatement really hit Mr. Mai and all the officials hard in their hearts.
Master Mai was complaining in his heart, why can a woman be so talkative? She even said such things to other officials and family members. Isn’t this a slap in the emperor’s face? How could the people around the emperor be toads?
In addition to Mr. Mai, many people who had scolded Xu Yi or talked about him behind his back were all panic-stricken. In addition to uneasiness, they also felt guilty. The emperor just mentioned some of Mr. Xu's achievements, which they could not imagine.
Thrilling life and death.
In the past, Mr. Xu was also very respected, and everyone spoke to him with respect. But later, he was easy to talk and had a soft temper, and gradually everyone looked down upon him.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will definitely teach that talkative woman a lesson when I get back." Master Mai said with a trembling voice.
Yu Wenhao said coldly: "Is it just women who talk too much? There are no officials who talk too much in the palace now?"
The officials suddenly became frightened. Whether they said it or not, they somewhat despised Mr. Xu in their hearts. But looking back at what Mr. Xu had done for the Northern Tang Dynasty, how could they compare to him?
Xu Yi felt very sad. It was not that he had been wronged, but that he still wanted the emperor to stand up for him, which was really useless. This chapter has been completed!
