Xie Xiang

Liu Zao had already stood up and was about to go, her body was facing the hall, but when she heard the officials were pressing her, she stopped, turned her head, and looked into the hall.

Immediately, a minister took offense and shouted loudly: "Sun Ciqing, you are so courageous, how dare you threaten the Lord!"

Sun Ciqing fell to the ground and said nothing, and some of his party members choked back: "You have a guilty conscience, could it be that you are the sycophant in the mouth of the general!"

Another minister raised his voice to retort from the other end of the hall: "There is a holy master in the world, and the world is clear. Above the court, how can there be a courtier!"

For a while, the hall refuted each other, and the smoke filled the air.

Liu Zao can't let these many ministers resign. The resignation of the ministers, not to mention that there is no one in the court, and the various government offices cannot be turned around. At least Xie Yi's reputation cannot be preserved. He will only criticize Xie Xiang for bewitching the Sacred Heart, making the monarchs and ministers centrifugal, and crowding out all officials.People in the world will not recognize a queen who has no virtue, and it will be even more difficult to promote the establishment of a queen.

The officials knew this, so they were unscrupulous. The kneeling ministers were magnificent, and gradually forced the standing ones to have nothing to say.

Liu Zao put her hand on the hilt of her sword, she turned her head and glanced at Hu Ao, who bowed and quietly exited the hall.

"Who is the courtier?" the emperor asked.

The minister who jumped the most just now said: "The minister is..."

There was a sudden silence in the hall, the minister woke up, stopped talking suddenly, and looked up.The emperor's eyes were terrible after the crown.The minister was kneeling. Seeing this, his heart turned cold, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Liu Zao walked down the steps slowly.

Most of the many ministers kneeling on the ground lowered their heads, as if they were afraid that the emperor would see his face and settle accounts in the future, but the rest of them were tall and straight, showing a mighty and indomitable posture.

Liu Zao walked up to them and asked again: "Who is the courtier?"

No one dared to speak.

From the beginning to the end, the emperor did not personally say that he wanted to thank the Prime Minister.Although everyone knew it well, none of them dared to say the word Xie Yi. Saying it would be a complete rift with the emperor, and it would be hard to undo it.

Sun Ciqing also had concerns, so he didn't dare to say Xie Yi, pointed the finger at Li Wen, and said in a calm voice: "Li Wen is a courtier." He wanted to drag Li Wen off the phase and make the phase vacant, and all parties will compete again.

Li Wen was impeached and knelt down as usual, wanting to plead guilty and defend himself.As soon as he knelt down, Liu Zao said: "Oh, Li Wen is a courtier." She looked around the hall, raised her voice, her voice was low and cold as if ice had been quenched: "All your lovers also think Li Wen is a courtier?"

There was a silence in the hall like a tomb, and then there were voices of seconding in twos and threes, seconding the general.

Liu Zao looked down at the minister closest to her feet, and said, "Then tell me, where is Li Wenzuo, and why did he become a courtier?"

The minister was trembling, tried his best to stabilize his voice, and said: "The Lord has done something wrong, Li Wen can't remonstrate, even..."

There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, the sound of military boots stepping on the ground.The ministers were startled and turned their heads to look around.

Dozens of palace guards, armed with armor and holding halberds, rushed into the hall from both sides of the gate in two teams, and surrounded all the officials.

For a moment, the hall was full of spears and halberds, and everyone had a butcher's knife on their heads, making people terrified.

Liu Zao drew his sword, put it on the minister's neck, and asked solemnly: "And what? Aiqing is impeaching my favorite prime minister, but please make it clear!"

Since the establishment of the Han dynasty, no emperor has ever personally killed a minister in the palace. Once the emperor does it, it will be preserved for thousands of years.But the chilling chill on the emperor's body made people believe that she would really attack.

"Chen, minister..." The minister trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Your Majesty is coercing each other with soldiers..." Seeing that the situation is not good, Sun Ciqing said anxiously.Liu Zao was furious and shouted, "I didn't ask you!"

Sun Ciqing blushed immediately and was speechless.The minister under the sword was startled, he felt that the blade was trembling, and would cut his neck at any moment.His body went limp, he lay on the ground, and he argued with a trembling voice: "The minister made a mistake, Ting, Ting Wei... are not sycophants."

Liu Zao smiled, his voice softened, and fell into the ears of the officials, but it was like a hissing poisonous snake wrapped around his body, ready to bite at any time.Liu Zao asked again: "Since there are no courtiers, why did Ai Qing resign?"

The minister was even more frightened, and said: "I will not resign, I will not resign."

Liu Zao withdrew her sword, but did not sheath it. She held it in her hand and walked two steps forward. Wherever she passed, the ministers gave way one after another.The soldiers outside the hall are like stone statues, the sun shines in from behind them, and the shadows are cast on the ground, covering the figures of the officials.

Liu Zao pointed his sword at Zongzheng's forehead, and asked, "Qing wants to resign?"

Zongzheng fell silent.

Liu Zao looked at the rest again, and asked again, "Who is asking to resign?"

For a long while, no one answered.

Liu Zao sneered.The officials almost put their heads on the ground.

The sword hit the ground, and the dull sound of bronze hitting the floor hit the hearts of the officials, and the officials trembled.Sun Ciqing's face was gloomy, angry and frightened.

Liu Zao said, "Scatter the dynasty."

This time, no one dared to stop her.

Walking out of the hall, the bright sunlight shone, dispelling the darkness in the hall.

Liu Zao stopped at the bottom of the steps.She stopped suddenly, and Hu Ao who was following behind almost bumped into her.

"You don't need to let Prime Minister Xie know about the matter in the palace," Liu Zao said.

She had previously ordered that everything should be reported and thanked, so that she would not have to wait for a long time to worry.But now he said that he should not let Xiang Xie know what happened just now.Hu Ao replied respectfully, "No."

Shengjia moved forward again.

After taking two steps, the emperor stopped again.She remembered that Prime Minister Xie might have other channels to know about the court proceedings.In this way, cutting off the news on her side made her even more worried.

"Go to Penglai." Liu Zao ordered.

Penglai Island is not far away, if you go there on the same day, you can return on the same day.

It was not yet noon.Liu Zao hurried there in a palace chariot. It was just past noon when he boarded the boat.

Sitting in the boat, she bowed her head in deep thought, thinking deeply.

In the first half of the month, the weather was cold, and the Taiye Pool was frozen, so the boats would not be able to travel.Just be quick.She seemed to be walking steadily step by step, but in fact, after waiting for so many years, she didn't want to waste a moment.

"Your Majesty, we've arrived in Penglai." Hu Ao said warmly when he entered the room.

Liu Zao stood up, remembering that Li Wen had suffered an innocent disaster and needed to be appeased, so he told Hu Ao: "You go to Tingwei's mansion and tell him not to take today's matter to heart. He deserves the position of prime minister. No one else can do it except him."

Hu Ao respectfully said: "No."

Liu Zao got off the boat, and Hu Ao quickly returned in another small boat.

The people on the island had already seen the big ship of the emperor, and more than a dozen palace people on the shore welcomed it.Liu Zao landed and asked, "Where is Prime Minister Xie?"

She thanked the prime minister for 15 years, but forgot to change her words for a while. The people on the island had no information, and they didn't know that the prime minister had changed. They still called Xie Yi as their prime minister, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the prime minister is fishing by the pond."

Are you fishing?Liu Zao smiled subconsciously, with a warm smile and a much lighter tone, and said, "Lead me there."

Penglai Island is surrounded by water on all sides, and the vegetation, trees, mountains and rocks on the island all have artistic conception, so not all places near the water can fish, but a few places have been specially designated for fun.

Liu Zao followed the palace servants and walked for about a stick of incense before seeing Xie Yi's figure.

With her back facing her, Xie Yi was dressed in blue, with soft hair and a gentle figure, looking intently at the surface of the pool.

Liu Zao quickened his pace.

When Xie Yi heard the sound, she turned her head and looked over, as if she had expected it to be her, she smiled with her, and said, "Why did you come here without changing your clothes?"

Only then did Liu Zao realize that she was still wearing the royal crown, which was very cumbersome.

"Forgot." She said truthfully.Walking to Xie Yi's side, he looked into the pool, there was already a fish in the fish basket, and it was sticking out of the water, breathing heavily.

Xie Yi put down his fishing rod and waved to her.Liu Zao smiled and bent down, Xie Yi helped her untie the crown, taking off the heavy flat crown.Liu Zao felt a lightness on his head and felt much more comfortable.

The palace servants stepped forward and set up a new couch beside Xie Yi, took the Pingtian Crown with both hands, and stepped aside.

Liu Zao sat down on the couch, wearing a solemn and majestic black uniform, which was extremely incompatible with the simple and elegant thing of fishing for cloud and wild cranes.But she was looking at the pond with relish, watching Xie Yi fishing.

The surface of the pool is slightly rippling, and the water plants are all withered, lying softly on the surface of the pool.Liu Zao looked at it for a while, then turned to look at Xie Yi, and couldn't move his eyes away.

I don't know if it was one more person who disturbed the fish, or something else, but after a long time, no fish took the bait. I think this is the harvest for today.Xie Yi put down the fishing rod, and Liu Zao took her hand.

There are palace people behind her, Xie Yi is not used to getting close in front of others, she broke free slightly, but Liu Zao didn't let go, so Xie Yi didn't insist anymore, just said: "Such a big person."

Liu Zao quietly leaned towards her until he was on her body.Xie Yi didn't move, she let her lean on her shoulder to rest.

These few days must be extremely difficult, how could the ministers let go so easily.Xie Yi was also worried about being on the island, so she came to go fishing to meditate.

"Have you been fishing these days?" Liu Zao asked.

"Yes." Xie Yi replied.

Liu Zao frowned, and asked: "What about the fish you caught?" She didn't eat any of them in Weiyang Palace.

Xie Yi curled the corner of her lips, and said, "Are you all gone with the palace servants?"

Liu Zao snorted.

Xie Yi turned her head and smiled even wider.

"Don't give it to the palace people, it's all mine." Liu Zao said sullenly, "Let them return the fish to me."

Xie Yi patted the back of her hand and asked, "But something happened?"

She was busy when she hurriedly landed on the island, she must have something to do.Liu Zao's heart was still on the fish, so he was a little careless. He said that all the officials resigned, and that she had resolved it smoothly, but didn't say how to resolve it, so that Xie Yi didn't have to worry.

After Xie Yi listened, she was silent for a while.

Liu Zao couldn't stay for too long, seeing that it was almost done, he stood up and said, "I'm leaving first, and I'll come back in two days."

Xie Yi said: "I will walk with you."

The two walked to the shore together.

When I came here, I had something on my mind, but when I got along with Xie Xiang, my heart was at ease, and all worries were gone.Now that he was about to leave, Liu Zao felt his heart was empty again, very uncomfortable.

Xie Yi took the crown and put it on for her again.

Liu Zao secretly sighed, "I'm leaving."

Xie Yi shook her hand, her intimate words were hard to say in front of others, she looked at Liu Zao with soft eyes.Liu Zao understood.She boarded the boat and stood on the bow.

Xie Yi watched them off on the shore.

Until Xie Yi's figure disappeared, Liu Zaofang walked into the cabin.

As soon as I entered, I saw a small fish tank with fish in it, but not many fish, just seven or eight tails, wagging their tails gently in the water.

The author has something to say: Li Wen: I stand with a pair of cp, the coldest in the universe, maybe I am the only fan, is there anyone who wants to stand with me?

Ministers: None.

Li Wen: Hey, hey, hey.

Li Wen is really pitiful. Since he is so pitiful, everyone is welcome to collect my new book "Secret". "Secret" is also known as "Approaching Science Who Moved My Corpse".

Anyway, it looks good, don't miss it.
