Changning Palace, Imperial Study Room.

"This rebellious son is going to piss me off!"

For some reason, Xiao Ji, who was sitting at the imperial table reviewing the memorial, suddenly burst into an unknown flame, and slammed the memorial in his hand to the ground.

Lian Yi, the internal servant at the side, shook his head, sighed secretly, and silently stepped forward to pick up the memorial on the ground, and put it back on the royal table, as if nothing had happened.

He no longer remembered how many times Xiao Ji was so angry that he suddenly broke the memorial in the imperial study in the past few days.

But this is no wonder to the emperor, he had just glanced at the contents of the memorial, and it really was impeachment of King Qi for being ignorant of his father, sending troops to attack the vassal state without authorization, damaging his majesty's prestige, tarnishing the image of the court, requesting his majesty to punish him severely and so on.

Seeing Xiao Ji's lingering anger, Lian Yi sighed again in his heart. He didn't understand why King Qi made such a big mistake. As an eunuch, he knew that vassal states should not be beaten casually. , It will bring countless troubles to the emperor and the court.

"Lian Yi, do you think I am too used to this rebellious son, so that he becomes more and more unscrupulous, helpless, even the sky dares to poke a hole in me!"

Xiao Ji was not in the mood to continue reviewing the memorial, but squinted at Lian Yi who was standing with his hands down, and couldn't help asking.

Lian Yi didn't know where to start for a while, so he could only laugh dryly, and said with a sneer: "This is His Majesty's family business, and it is inconvenient for this old servant to interrupt."

Xiao Ji's face darkened, and his tone seemed a little angry: "There are only you and me in this imperial study room. If there is any inconvenience, you can say whatever you want. I won't blame you."

When it came to this point, Lian Yi didn't dare to be sloppy anymore, so he could only look at Xiao Ji, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of this old slave, His Highness King Qi is not a person who does things recklessly, maybe he sent troops There is something else hidden about the attack on Lin Yiguo."

It was fine if Lian Yi didn't say this, but when he said this, Xiao Ji became even more angry, and said with a cold face: "What kind of secrets can he have? It's not because of the lack of food in Jiaozhou that the price of food has skyrocketed and the situation is turbulent. He is also conceited, and he refuses to ask the court for help, for fear that I will underestimate him, so he thinks of the bad idea of ​​attacking Linyi Kingdom, which is rich in rice... Now he is not short of food in Jiaozhou, but how can I explain to the subjects of Linyi Kingdom How can I give an explanation to the other vassal states that surrendered to Daning."

The more Xiao Ji spoke, the more angry he became, his chest heaved violently, he slammed the table hard, and said in a hateful voice: "Nizi, I am so angry!"

Lian Yi hurriedly knelt down on the ground, persuading him: "Your Majesty, calm down, take care of the dragon's body first."

Xiao Ji didn't mean to calm down at all, and still said angrily: "The most hateful thing is that he has caused such a catastrophe, but he still hasn't given me a memorial to explain it to my father. How can I trust him and save my life?" he."

Lian Yi was also helpless, and carefully suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you call His Royal Highness King Qi back to Beijing first, and ask him face to face."

However, Xiao Ji glared at Lian Yi fiercely, his face sank, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "I see you are confused, it's not like you can't see what's going on in Beijing now, if you call him back to Beijing at this time, Don't you put him on the fire and roast him? You are not afraid that all the officials will drown him alive with their saliva."

"It's the old slave who is confused, he shouldn't give His Majesty bad ideas, the old slave will speak up on his own."

Hearing this, Lian Yi was so frightened that he slapped himself in a hurry, and both sides of his face soon became a little red and swollen.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Ji couldn't bear it, but he still said in a cold voice with a sullen face: "Okay, okay, it's not Lin Yiguo that you slapped, why are you slapping yourself when you have nothing to do?"

Lian Yi then stopped slapping himself and kowtowed to thank him, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that His Majesty still cared about the relationship between father and son, and even at this time, he was still thinking of King Qi and was unwilling to embarrass King Qi.

But King Qi, why is he so ignorant, what a crime!

But when Cao Cao and Cao Cao were about to arrive, when the two of them were still talking about Qi Wang Xiao Jie, a guard outside the door announced loudly that Jiaozhou had sent someone to deliver a box of things and asked if they wanted to send them to the Imperial Palace. study.

Lian Yi couldn't laugh or cry, just now the emperor was still complaining that King Qi did not know how to send a memorial to explain why he had caused such a big disaster, but who would have known that King Qi sent someone to send things into the palace as soon as he finished speaking.

He secretly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ji, and saw that there was a trace of expectation in the emperor's eyes, but he still said with a cold face, "Send it in."

Soon, two guards carried a box into the imperial study room, followed by two embarrassed soldiers, presumably they were the two who were ordered to send the box to Beijing.

Xiao Ji glanced at the box on the ground first, then at the two Jiaozhou soldiers who were feeling uncomfortable, and asked with some doubts: "As long as you sent this box to Beijing, the King of Qi didn't ask you to bring a memorial letter or anything like that." to me?"

The two Jiaozhou soldiers looked at each other, and then one of them boldly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness only needs us to send this box to Beijing, other than that, there are no letters or memorials."

Lian Yi said inwardly that he was not good, and then secretly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ji, and sure enough, there was a hint of anger and disappointment on his face.

But Xiao Ji would not get angry at the two soldiers for no reason, he just waved his hand to signal that everyone else can retreat.

"Lian Yi, you said the box that King Qi sent from all the way, what kind of good things could it contain?"

Xiao Ji looked at the box on the ground and smiled coldly, his tone full of playfulness.

Lian Yi lowered his head deeply, and said softly: "This old slave dare not guess."

Xiao Ji got up and left the imperial table, walked slowly to the front of the box, and said with a sneer: "I guess it should be the rare treasures he found in the Linyi King's Palace, and I specially sent someone to present it to me, and I want to forgive him for attacking Linyi. What does he think of my father as the matter of the country..."

While saying this, Xiao Ji tore off the seal on the box, opened the box, but was stunned.

The box was full of memorials and letters, as well as some paperwork and notices.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Lian Yi stretched his neck to see the contents of the box clearly, and froze in place for a while, feeling very puzzled.

Xiao Ji didn't speak, just took out a memorial from the box, opened it, and only glanced at it, but for some reason, his complexion instantly flushed red, and his chest heaved violently, as if he was so angry that he couldn't help but turn his head to the side. Yi was frightened, and guessed in his heart what was written in the memorial, which made His Majesty so angry.

Xiao Ji ruthlessly threw the memorial in his hand back into the box, picked up another letter, and opened it to see that his complexion became even redder and his chest heaved more violently...

Xiao Ji looked at the materials in the box several times in a row, but unexpectedly, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and finally he simply threw the memorial in his hand back into the box, and closed the box heavily, but his face was still full of anger.

"Lian Yi!"

With a furious expression on Xiao Ji's face, he yelled at Lian Yi who was still kneeling on the ground.

"The old slave is here!" Lian Yi hurriedly replied.

"I want to hold a court meeting immediately. You immediately send someone to pass the decree and notify all the officials in the court to go to the Qinzheng Hall. Remember, don't forget to inform the envoy of Lin Yiguo from Honglu Temple to go to the court together. He didn't want me to return Is their Linyi country fair? I will give them Linyi country justice today!"

Lian Yi could hear something wrong in Xiao Ji's tone, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, but hurriedly resigned and arranged for someone to go to the official's house to announce the decree.

Just as Xiao Ji was about to go down to change his imperial crown, the guards outside the door announced loudly again that the commander of the Qilin Guard Zhang Chu asked to see him, saying that there was an important matter about Jiaozhou to be reported to the emperor.

Xiao Ji was eager to go to court, and had no intention of seeing Zhang Chu, but when he heard that Zhang Chu's performance was related to Jiaozhou, his heart moved slightly, so he asked the guards to summon Zhang Chu to meet him.

Zhang Chu quickly walked into the imperial study room, bowed his head and bowed: "Minister Zhang Chu sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, raised his hand and said, "Zhang Qing's family is flat, I don't know what you want to see me in a hurry?"

Zhang Chu thanked En for getting up, then took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, handed them to Xiao Ji, and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Qilin Guards in Jiaozhou have found out that the food shortage in Jiaozhou and the sharp rise in food prices are the Someone is behind it."

Xiao Ji took the paper, flipped through it a few times, his face became more gloomy, but suddenly he smiled coldly, as if he was talking to himself: "I'm afraid there will be a good show at today's court meeting."
