If this is the case, if the dog emperor wanted his granddaughter to enter the palace as a thank you, wouldn't it make sense that he would have to cut off the other party's dog head?!
When Li Ji heard the old man's ridiculous laughter, his heart beat loudly.
He knew about Duke Zhen Guo's poisoning, and Duke Zhen Guo had probably learned from the military doctor who ordered it...
Therefore, the current situation is that Duke Zhen Guo knows that the emperor wants to kill him——
As for the true intention of this imperial edict to bestow a noble concubine, how could Duke Zhen Guo only think about the good?
Thinking about this carefully, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Ji's back.
"I understand the emperor's wishes. But I am just a granddaughter, and I don't want her to enter the palace and become a noble concubine." Duke Zhen Guo raised his hand and stroked the head of the girl beside him. His tone was not serious, but it was revealing.
The meaning of non-negotiable.
Li Ji smiled in a dilemma: "The Duke..."
"Okay." Duke Zhenguo raised his hand to interrupt him, then reached out and said solemnly: "I know that you are also following orders, so I don't want to embarrass you - please give me this imperial edict, and I will
I will go and explain to the emperor."
Looking at the big hand stretched out in front of his eyes, Li Ji hesitated for a moment before finally offering it with both hands.
Anyway, he didn't have the ability to force the Zhenguo Duke's government to accept this decree...
In this current situation, it is better not to make things too tense and add fuel to the fire.
After all, regardless of the overall situation, he still wants to leave the Zhenguo Palace alive today...
The Duke of Zhen Guo held the imperial edict and immediately ordered his servant: "Send off the guests."
"Yes!" A servant walked in, his voice loud and clear.
Qin Wu took a look - good guy, isn't this the same person he was when the general first woke up?
It seems that this feeling of being confident as long as the general is around is not unique to him.
"Then our family will say goodbye..."
"I'll take my leave."
Several people bowed and left. As soon as they left the front hall, they heard the cold voice of the old man behind them, with a hint of disgust, ordering: "Throw all these things out and ask them to take them away."
The word "throw" made Li Jibei's face feel hot. As the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, when had he ever received such cold treatment or even humiliation...
But he knew in his heart that Duke Zhen Guo's cold face was actually for the emperor...
Therefore, I became more and more afraid to speak and just pretended not to hear.
The group of people came in quite a large formation. When they unloaded the gifts in front of the gate of the Zhenguo Palace, they had already alarmed several families outside the house.
At this time, he was kicked out in disgrace, and the things he brought were also thrown out of the gate of the Zhenguo Palace, and were seen by many curious people.
"How come things were thrown out..."
"I heard that Duke Zhen Guo is back..."
"Then what are these people doing here?"
Listening to the low discussion, two officials from the Ministry of Etiquette got on the carriage with red and white faces——
"What are you doing...what a shame!" One of them sat down in the carriage and sighed.
"Okay, let's just be embarrassed..." The other person looked at it openly and even felt a little lucky: "Just don't lose your life..."
Didn’t you see the knife hanging on Zhen Guo Gong’s waist?
Just now he was looking at him, and he was secretly terrified, fearing that Li Ji would say something that the Duke of Zhen would not like to hear. Thank God, Li Ji was also afraid of death...
In fact, when it comes to whether they are afraid of death, they civil servants are not all so timid. After reading the books of sages for half a lifetime, it is impossible to say that they do not have the slightest backbone -
If they really encounter something concerning the country, there is nothing wrong with asking them to risk their lives.
But what is this called today?
They didn't know that Duke Zhen had returned to Beijing. How could the emperor not know?
And when the imperial edict was sent to Duke Zhen before he came to Beijing, it was clear that he wanted to use the Xu family girl to blackmail Duke Zhen...
Both of them were obviously aware of this, and both of them were silent at this time with complicated expressions.
The overly tough attitude of Duke Zhen Guo today is also worthy of careful consideration...
The matter of his illness in Dongyuan City may not be that simple...
To put it bluntly, death is not terrible, but it is not worth it - the current emperor is becoming increasingly dim, and does not listen to advice. He often does things that no one can agree with, and it is of no benefit to the people of the country, the country, and the people, and so on.
, I would like to ask how many people in the court are willing to die in vain for such a monarch?
"Grandpa, why don't you see your second uncle coming back with Mingshi?" In the hall, Xu Mingyi helped Duke Zhen sit down in a chair and poured tea for him personally while asking.
My grandfather must not have recovered well yet, but he must be extremely tired from traveling all the way like this.
"I rushed back first and let them walk slowly behind..." At this point, Zhenguo Gong's voice became lower: "They will not enter the city for the time being, but will return to camp with the army."
Xu Mingyi heard it clearly.
Ms. Cui felt a little excited. The old man had arranged all the people who were in the way outside the city...
Now that there is no one holding you back in the family, you won’t have to worry about big things when the time comes!
Thinking of what might happen next, Mrs. Cui began to make quick calculations in her heart. She should make arrangements for her family as soon as possible...
"Is my grandfather's health feeling better now?" Xu Mingyi asked.
"It's much better." Duke Zhen Guo smiled and said to his granddaughter, "Thanks to Doctor Qiu for taking care of me all the way."
It was especially thanks to his family Zhao Zhao and his future grandson-in-law, otherwise his old life would really have to be handed down in Dongyuan City.
"Then Doctor Qiu and Uncle Yun didn't go into the city with my grandfather?"
Duke Zhenguo nodded: "I have other things to tell Yun Liu. He needs to arrange things in the military camp-"
As for Dr. Qiu, he had helped him a lot, so it was not appropriate to take the risk of bringing his savior into the city. Sooner or later, he would have to leave the city. The fewer people there were, the easier and cleaner it would be to move around.
Xu Mingyi listened to this and thought about her grandfather's attitude when facing Li Ji just now - although the attitude seemed very cold to outsiders, she could see that her grandfather was even trying to soften his attitude.
My grandfather did this to leave room for both parties.
She thought that her grandfather should have already made a decision or even a countermeasure.
Mingshi mentioned to her in a letter that he met His Highness Prince Yan in Dongyuan City, but it was not until his grandfather woke up that the Prince left...
When Xu Mingyi wanted to ask, he saw the old man who had drunk half a cup of tea put down the cup, picked up the imperial edict on the coffee table and stood up, saying: "Zhaozhao, my grandfather needs to go to the palace to return this imperial edict."
To the emperor, the rest of the matter cannot be fully explained for a while, and we will discuss it in detail when we return."
In addition to returning this bullshit imperial edict, which is full of whims and every word, clearly indicating that he wants to die early and escape from life, he also wants to carefully calculate the accounts with the emperor over the past few days - those
Since the emperor has done something immoral, he cannot be afraid of others knowing about it.
