The Emperor asked Uncle Nine Emperors to play chess, not because he had nothing to do, but because he wanted to put pressure on Uncle Nine Emperors by playing chess, so that Uncle Nine Emperors would be timid before fighting, and take the initiative in the subsequent dialogue, but he did not expect that
…
The Nine Emperors Uncle's chess skills are becoming more and more exquisite. The emperor used to be able to tie with the Nine Emperors Uncle, and occasionally beat the Nine Emperors Uncle by a few pieces. But now, let alone winning pieces, it is considered good if he can lose a few pieces less.
The emperor was too lazy to calculate how many pieces he had lost, so he threw away the chess pieces and the emperor could no longer play.
He is the emperor, so he won't play if he can't say it, and the Nine Emperors Uncle can't say anything. The Emperor throws the chess pieces out of his temper, but the Nine Emperors Uncle is extremely well-educated. He doesn't show any expression whether he wins or loses, and picks up the chess pieces one by one.
So what about the emperor, when he wants to lose, even the beggar will give in; when he wants to win, even the emperor will have to give in to him.
The Nine Emperors Uncle's fingers are slender and white. When he picks up the chess pieces gracefully, your eyes will follow his movements, and the emperor will find that he is being led away by the Nine Emperors Uncle without knowing it.
By the time the emperor found out, Uncle Nine Emperors had already picked up most of the chess pieces. The emperor remained calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with turmoil. The majestic emperor was being held captive, and he might not be believed if he told it, but such a thing happened.
happened.
Phew... The emperor secretly took a breath, held up a cup of tea on one side, to calm down the excitement in his heart, and took a sip. The warm and fragrant tea entered his mouth, which calmed the emperor's restless heart a little.
Bang... The emperor deliberately increased the force. The cup trembled on the table, and a few drops of water spilled out. Usually when the emperor makes this move, whether they are civil servants, generals, or queens and concubines, they will kneel down in shock, but...
The Nine Emperors Uncle continued to pick up the chess pieces as if nothing had happened. After placing the chess pieces, he sat there motionless. No matter what moves the emperor used, the Nine Emperors Uncles were as steady as Mount Tai.
The emperor understood that facing this younger brother who had been neglected since childhood but was educated by the emperor, his imperial methods were of no use at all. The emperor had no choice but to directly say: "Ninth brother's chess skills are becoming more and more exquisite. I thought that the ninth brother's chess skills are getting better and better."
If I stay in the palace for too long, my chess skills will deteriorate."
On the surface, he was talking about chess, but in fact, he was saying that Uncle Nine Emperors' hands were too long and he was involved in outside affairs in the palace. The emperor's words were a warning to Uncle Nine Emperors. He knew that the mysterious person was Uncle Nine Emperors, so he asked Uncle Nine Emperors to
Uncle Emperor, restrain yourself a little.
It's a pity... The Nine Emperors Uncle Taijie saw the emperor. The more certain the emperor spoke, the more uncertain he was. If the emperor was really sure that he was the soup giver, he would have published the evidence long ago. By then...
The people of the world will remember him, but the royalists in the court will insist on his execution because of his great achievements and evil intentions.
"My brother is not like the emperor, who has everything to do with everything. When I have nothing to do, I just study these little things that can't be put on the table. My chess skills have certainly improved." Uncle Nine Emperors said, avoiding the important and taking the easy.
He doesn't care about letting the world know that he is the mysterious disaster relief person, but not now. Disaster relief has cost a lot of money and effort, and he wants to make the best effect.
If it is exposed too early, it will not be sensational enough, and it will not achieve the public sentiment he wants. Moreover, with the emperor giving porridge to suppress him, if he gets his reputation out at this time, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The emperor's eyelids moved slightly, as if he was calculating the credibility of Uncle Nine Emperors' words. He thought about it over and over in his mind for a long time, but couldn't find any flaws, so the emperor gave up.
"Ninth Brother is bored in the palace? Is it because the people in the palace don't serve him well?" The people who serve the Ninth Emperor Uncle are all the eyes and ears sent by the Emperor. Even the Ninth Emperor Uncle will watch over him when he sleeps. If the Ninth Emperor Uncle is satisfied
If so, that would be called a ghost.
"My brother is scared. The palace is very good, and the people in the palace are very dedicated. But no matter how good the palace is, it is not my home. I still miss the Nine Princes' Mansion." The Nine Emperors Uncle asked the emperor directly, when will he be released?
When he went out, he also told the emperor that he was not interested in the palace.
The emperor's heart was shocked. The words of the Nine Emperors Uncle were like a huge stone hitting his heart. The Emperor raised his head and shot his sharp eyes at the Nine Emperors Uncle. The Nine Emperors Uncle did not dodge or be afraid. He looked at the Emperor with a deep look.
His eyes were calm and unruffled, showing a tranquility that was uncontested by the world.
The two most distinguished brothers in Dongling were locked in a battle with each other's eyes, one fiercely attacking and the other guarding. The battle did not end until the emperor was satisfied and withdrew his eyes.
The emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at the chatter and said: "This year we encountered a severe snowstorm that has not happened in a century. I was worried that it would cause resentment among the people. I didn't expect that there are also people with high righteousness in the name. When the people were suffering, they took action and set up a stall to give porridge.
, so that the people of Dongling can survive this snow disaster."
How could the emperor chat with Uncle Nine Emperors? This was a deal. As long as Uncle Nine Emperors revealed clues about the mysterious disaster relief person, he would let Uncle Nine Emperors return home.
Of course the Nine Emperors Uncle understood the deep meaning of these words. The emperor was forcing him to admit that the mysterious disaster relief person was related to him. Since the emperor thought so, then it would be as the emperor wished.
He would say what needed to be said. As for what the emperor thought, it had nothing to do with him. Uncle Nine Emperors' eyelids drooped slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes, and said calmly: "Brother, Feng Qingchen is my king's."
Woman, she cured the most distinguished sixteenth son of the Cui family a few days ago."
Just these two sentences led the emperor's thoughts to the Cui family.
These two words of Uncle Nine Emperors seem to be referring to what happened a few days ago, but they are actually reminding the emperor that the only one in the world who can be so generous and spend so much food is the Cui family. The mysterious person is the Cui family, and the Cui family will do this.
The reason is very simple, he just hopes that the emperor will let him go.
As for why the Cui family did this, Jiuhuangshu also gave the reason. This was the condition for Feng Qingchen to treat Cui Haoting. Jiuhuangshu specially said "the most noble sixteenth son" to tell the emperor that if it was someone else's Cui family
He won't work so hard, but Cui Haoting is different. For Cui Haoting's life, the Cui family will pay the price.
Uncle Nine Emperors obviously misled the emperor when he said this, but it happened to be very credible. At least the emperor believed it. The Cui family had been hiding from the world for hundreds of years. This was certainly true.
Compared to the Nine Emperors Uncle, the Emperor believed more that it was the Cui family who provided food for disaster relief rather than the Nine Emperors Uncle, as the Nine Emperors Uncle did not have that ability.
The Cui family is about to give birth. Thinking of the fact that some time ago, the Cui and Wang family jointly exerted pressure to force him to let the Nine Emperors uncle go, the emperor became even more annoyed with the Cui family and made a big mark in his heart for the Cui family.
As soon as the Cui family was born, they stood by the Nine Emperors Uncle and fought against him. They made it clear that they did not take him seriously as the emperor. The Cui family would be the number one threat. The emperor exuded a murderous aura...
Even though his eyelids were half-covered, Uncle Nine Emperors could see the emperor's expression completely, not missing any subtle changes. The Emperor's performance made Uncle Nine Emperors very satisfied. It was a good thing that the Emperor cared about the Cui family, so he asked the Emperor to fight with the Cui family.
He also saves trouble.
Besides, he didn't lie to the emperor. What he said was all the truth. The emperor thought too much. He didn't say anything. It was all the emperor's own thoughts.
Anyway, the Cui family does have great ambitions, and he is not wronging the Cui family. When the emperor discovers the Cui family's actions, the emperor will believe what he said today even more.
After leaving the palace, he will focus most of his energy on Xuanxiao Palace. It is a good thing for him to have the Cui family stay in the imperial city and hold the emperor's main force and attention.
Cui family, I'm sorry, I have to push you out in advance as a shield. I hope you will like this gift from me.
Uncle Nine Emperors reached out and picked up the tea cup in front of him. He didn't drink it, just held it in his hand, and sat there quietly, waiting for the emperor's decision.
He gave the emperor what he asked for. The next step was to see whether the emperor would fulfill his promise. As for you saying that the emperor kept his word? Don't be kidding. The emperor didn't directly say that he would let him go.
People like them will never speak so clearly and let others grasp the situation in vain. Anyway, as long as both parties understand it, that's fine.
Uncle Nine Emperors did not disappoint him. After realizing the big threat from the Cui family, and Uncle Nine Emperors hinting that he was not interested in the palace, the emperor had already relaxed.
After imprisoning Uncle Nine Emperors for so long, he could not convict Uncle Nine Emperors. If he were imprisoned any longer, the pressure on him would be even greater. It was better to use this opportunity to negotiate more terms.
"Ninth Brother, what about disaster relief?" The Emperor raised his head, his eyes as sharp as arrows, as if he wanted to see through the Nine Emperors Uncle.
Uncle Nine Emperors didn't know whether he was prepared for it or whether he was not afraid at all. He remained calm and calm: "Brother, don't worry, I will send someone to pass the news to Feng Qingchen as soon as I leave the palace."
Although he was anxious to go to Feng Mansion and wanted to meet the man named Xuan Shaoqi, but not now, he had to wait until he finished the matter at hand so that he could have time to fight with Xuan Shaoqi.
"It's already late today. Ninth Brother will return home tomorrow morning." The emperor stood up and looked down at the Ninth Emperor Uncle with a benevolent tone.
He was waiting for the Nine Emperors Uncle to thank him. Unfortunately, the Nine Emperors Uncle had always been the master of pushing the envelope. The Nine Emperors Uncle Shi Shiran stood up, and instead of thanking him, he made another condition: "Brother, I am used to people from the Nine Princes' Mansion."
serve."
Uncle Jiuhuang reminded the emperor that since he is not guilty, the people in his house are also not guilty. Let all the servants of the Jiuwang Mansion be released, and don't try to use this opportunity to plant people in the Jiuwang Mansion.
Ninety-nine steps have been taken, and the emperor doesn't mind taking another step. Even if he sends people to the Nine Princes' Mansion now, in less than two days, those people will be killed by the Nine Emperors Uncle for various reasons. This kind of thing
This is not the first time that this has happened. The emperor generously promised that all the servants of the Nine Princes' Mansion will go back tonight.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to send you off to Your Majesty." Having benefited from this, Uncle Nine Emperors finally gave the Emperor his respects, and sent the Emperor away in a respectful tone.
Having solved his worries and found out the purpose of the mysterious soup giver, the emperor was in a good mood, his steps were light, and the previous heaviness was gone.
There was a fire in the Zongren Mansion, and the Nine Emperors Uncle was almost burned to death. Coupled with the pressure from the officials and the aristocratic family, he really couldn't keep the Nine Emperors Uncle in prison. In this case, he released the Nine Emperors Uncle in exchange for
Maximum benefit.
Ninth Brother, I didn’t force you, you gave in willingly!
