Chapter 236 The Horse Thief

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Hua obviously did not understand what her husband meant, with a look of suspicion on her face. However, the room was dark, so Hua Baishi naturally did not see it.

He stroked his beard, walked to the bed step by step, and said gently: "You are not one of those people who don't understand amorous feelings. You should understand what I mean."

Mrs. Hua was still confused at first, but when she saw Hua Baishi's face, she seemed to understand something instantly. She was so angry that she pulled up the embroidered pillow on the bed and faced Hua Baishi's face.

Just threw it over.

Hua Baishi never expected that he would be suddenly attacked by his wife. At this time, it was too late to dodge, leaving only time for him to close his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the embroidered pillow arrived as expected and hit Hua Baishi on the forehead. Fortunately, the pillow was not hard, and Mrs. Hua did not have much strength, so Hua Baishi just screamed in pain.

One sound, no real damage was caused.

But unfortunately, Mrs. Hua's anger has not subsided. She just heard her yelling angrily, saying: "You old fool, what do you want to do? You are already so old, please be honest."

Hua Baishi sniffed and kept rubbing his forehead with his hands. What's going on? He didn't react for a moment and stayed on the spot. There was no way, this was the case for the tigress at home. Don't look outside.

In people's eyes, he has a wife who is outwardly virtuous, but only he knows how.

I think back then, he was also one of the top young talents in Beiliang City, and many beauties fell in love with him. But for some reason, he fell in love with Mrs. Hua, and he got out of control after that. He remembered that when he first got married, he fell in love with Mrs. Hua.

The other party didn't have such a bad temper a while ago, but what happened now? He shouldn't have agreed to this marriage in the first place, and now he regrets it endlessly!

He stood up again, shook his head helplessly, and explained: "Madam, listen to me, have you misunderstood something?"

"What's the misunderstanding? You old pervert, I hope I won't beat you to death today."

Hua Baishi wanted to cry, this was true. He waved his hands quickly and said to his wife: "Madam, I want Huahua to have a fat boy as soon as possible so that we can place our hopes on him."

Mrs. Hua was stunned when she heard this, and then her face turned red in the darkness, and she immediately returned to the state of a little bird. "Go to bed, it's getting late." After saying that, she lay down on the bed first.

Hua Baishi held the pillow in his hand and was still thinking about what Mrs. Hua just said. What did it mean? Why couldn't he understand it?

In the Nuan Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, His Majesty the Emperor was reviewing a memorial. Suddenly, he heard the voice of Eunuch Qi outside the door: "Your Majesty, Wang Chaopeng, the Minister of War, has an important meeting."

Originally, Eunuch Qi, as the Duke of Dongchang and the eunuch of the Eunuch Bingbi, did not need to personally initiate the report to His Majesty. Late at night, whenever a minister came to see him, there would most likely be nothing good. If Eunuch Qi followed the rules in the past

With his character, he would definitely stay far away and stay in the room freely and freely.

As the number one eunuch in the palace and a celebrity around His Majesty the Emperor, he naturally has a lot of people waiting on him. In the evening, there will always be a group of so-called godsons who come to help him pat his legs and shoulders. Then he himself,

Drink tea and teach these godsons a few random lessons

In short, this little life is definitely a good one.

But no matter what, today when Eunuch Qi was on his way back to his room, he happened to meet Wang Chaopeng, the Minister of War. If it were someone else, Eunuch Qi could have found an excuse to excuse him. But for a big boss like Wang Chaopeng, he couldn't agree with him.

As far as taking action was concerned, he had no choice but to obey. Hence, there was this scene where he reported to His Majesty.

As for His Majesty the Emperor, he was already dozing off non-stop, and he didn't even know what he wrote in the memorial later.

Hearing the commotion outside, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became energetic, straightened his hair, and said, "Come in."

After speaking, Eunuch Qi led Wang Chaopeng into the Nuan Pavilion. His Majesty the Emperor liked this Nuan Pavilion, and he would definitely come here before winter, and then start hibernating like a brown bear. The so-called reclusive life is actually just staying in the house.

It’s just to keep fat. The reason is actually very simple. For no other reason, it’s warm in the thermal pavilion.

"What's the matter?" Before Wang Chaopeng could salute, His Majesty the Emperor asked. Since there were no outsiders, he naturally didn't have to be too restrained.

Wang Chaopeng's face was full of anxiety. He had come all the way and was still breathing heavily. He was panting and said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, there is an express report from the border.

The prince has disappeared."

"What?" His Majesty the Emperor's hand suddenly grasped the dragon chair, "Send it up for me to see."

Eunuch Qi did not dare to hesitate and immediately took the express report from Wang Chaopeng's hand and sent it up.

His Majesty the Emperor took it and as soon as he opened it, he felt as if his body was struck by lightning. He slowly read the entire bulletin, pondered for a while and then said seriously: "According to what this bulletin said, it was already three days ago?

"

Wang Chaopeng nodded helplessly. Although he didn't want to admit it, the distance was too far. It was not slow to send messages back and forth. Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the palace quickly at night.

"Quickly, summon the cabinet, as well as the six ministers, ministers, and censors, and come to see me immediately." His Majesty the Emperor did not hesitate any longer. Time is extremely precious at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid at this time." Eunuch Qi was a little embarrassed. After all, all the cabinet ministers had resigned in the middle of the night, and if he wanted to find him, he would have to go to each government office to find him.

His Majesty the Emperor glared at Eunuch Qi and said fiercely: "Do you want to resist the decree?"

When Eunuch Qi heard this, he was so frightened that his legs weakened, he knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I will die for you."

"You know you're going to die, why don't you go quickly?" His Majesty the Emperor was obviously very angry, and even the tone of his words changed. Wang Chaopeng who was standing aside could not stop pitying Eunuch Qi.

Late at night, there was a knock on the door of every minister. Then, all the ministers cheered and were forced into a carriage. Then, they were sent to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace gate, they had to get off the carriage, for no other reason than because it was forbidden to drive in the palace. Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress were free to do so.

As a result, under the leadership of Eunuch Qi and other officials, a group of ministers were running non-stop in the palace. Among them, few of them were wearing official uniforms, because most of them were given directly to the palace in their sleep.

They were picked up and taken away. There were one or two ministers who didn't even put on their shoes.

Holding the shoes in one hand and holding the waist with the other, the strongest shouted: "Wait a minute, I'll run slower!"

After a while, many ministers arrived outside Nuan Pavilion. They stood in order, and then followed Eunuch Qi into the main hall.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor had already remembered to walk around and kept pacing with his hands behind his back. Wang Chaopeng did not dare to persuade him. After all, he was a military minister. He was afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would listen to his words and become even more confused.

It is actually not unreasonable for His Majesty the Emperor to be worried about the Second Prince. Firstly, it is because the Second Prince is his biological bloodline. If anything goes wrong, it means that he will lose a child; Secondly, the Second Prince has gone to Nanyao

Those who disappeared in the future, this

In other words, Nan Yao will soon be unable to bear his loneliness and will send troops to start a war; as for the third thing, only His Majesty the Emperor and Huang Daxian know about it, that is, in the hands of the second prince, they have Beiliang's magical weapon, the belt

A sword with the roar of a dragon.

"See Your Majesty." All the ministers prostrated.

Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor disdained these false courtesies. He just raised his hands and said, "Pingshen."

The first person to ask was Prime Minister Li Weiguang. He stepped forward. As a cabinet minister, he should be the first to speak on such important matters. "Your Majesty, I don't know why you have called your ministers here at this time."

"Let's do it." His Majesty the Emperor only ticked the bulletin in his hand and said to Eunuch Qi on the side. The reason why Eunuch Qi gave him enough face is that after all, "do it" sounds much better than the so-called father-in-law.

After hearing the instructions, Eunuch Qi handed the express report to Prime Minister Li Weiguang, and then circulated it to all the ministers one after another. In fact, there were not many ministers in total, just more than three hands. But these few ministers,

It can already decide many major events.

After all, this is the rule of the court. Major matters are decided by a few people. Only really trivial matters will be brought down and the court will be red-faced and fight to the death.

"What do you think of this matter?" Seeing that everyone had finished reading the bulletin, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't wait to ask.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor's enthusiasm was poured cold water on. No one answered, and there was silence in the Nuan Pavilion.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the clothes of the ministers in front of him, and they were obviously pulled up from the bed. Although he couldn't bear it, he still said with a smile: "Is it possible that all the beloved ministers don't even have a single suggestion?

"

Still silent, as if this has become a tacit understanding among the many veterans. As long as His Majesty does not ask about a single person, they will not speak.

His Majesty the Emperor has long been accustomed to these old foxes. But he had no choice but to lower his expression and asked: "Li Qing's family, you are my humerus, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Weiguang knew that he could not escape and would be stabbed sooner or later. So he said solemnly: "In my opinion, Your Majesty does not need to worry."

"Oh?" The Emperor raised his eyebrows, feeling very confused about Li Weiguang's remarks. So, he asked, "What does the Qing family mean?"

Li Weiguang smiled and said lightly, "Your Majesty, please don't forget that the Southern Prince Zhu Renke is still in Honglu Temple."

As soon as he said this, His Majesty the Emperor understood what Li Weiguang meant, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
