Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 144
Xie Yao thought for a moment, then asked: "What Zhang Shilang said, is he going to continue fighting Beidi?"

Zhang Ruogu shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's not a war, but a peace negotiation."

"Reconciliation?"

Xie Yao hurriedly shook his hand, and said: "Before the emperor fell into a coma, he was not happy to hear the voice of the peace negotiation. Now that the dragon body has recovered, it is even more impossible to negotiate a peace."

"Your Highness, His Majesty did not agree to a peace negotiation a few days ago, because he was worried that Beidi would not retreat even if we proposed a peace. Now that Beidi has retreated, and the treasury is not enough to support the consumption of the army, it is a good time to negotiate a peace."

Zhang Ruogu analyzed the situation, and what he said was reasonable, Xie Yao couldn't help being tempted.

Zhang Ruogu feared not to impress Xie Yao, and said again: "Your Highness has made two mistakes this time. One is that you should not do anything to Luo Xiu without authorization. Luo Xiu has his own reasons for being in the court for decades. Even if you want to seek his seat Second, we should not embarrass the Lin family. Now that the courtiers are all busy, His Majesty is eager to set a benchmark, and it seems that he is going to promote Lin Yuanzhi."

Xie Yao gritted his teeth heavily, a look of unwillingness flashed across his face.

Zhang Ruogu would be wrong, and said with a smile: "It's good to take Luo Xiu down, but in the current situation, I'm afraid he can't move anymore. Luo Xiu's foundation is the shallowest, and his body has stains. If your highness has any ideas, Let's think about it in the long run."

Xie Xi had no choice but to nod in response: "What Zhang Shilang said is correct, but I was too reckless in the past."

"I heard from Your Majesty today that the military supplies of the army in the northern border have been cut off. The army is out, and there will be changes if it is too late. The negotiation of peace is an urgent matter. Now that the government and the opposition are exhausted from the war, as long as His Highness proposes a strategy for peace, there will be a response from everyone, and then you will win the Sacred Heart." , and won the hearts of the people, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

The two were talking in the Wenhua Palace, when they suddenly got a notification that the emperor sent Xie Yao to Qianqing Palace.

This is the first time that the emperor has summoned Xie Yao apart from the morning and evening meditation since he woke up.

Hearing that his father asked him to go to Qianqing Palace as soon as possible, Xie Yao stood up and was about to go out.

Zhang Ruogu hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness, and his mood has not yet calmed down. It is advisable to be cautious."

"Thank you Zhang Shilang for your reminder." Xie Yao nodded solemnly, adjusted his clothes again, and then left Wenhua Palace.

Behind him, Zhang Ruogu straightened up, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

When Xie Yao hurriedly arrived at the Qianqing Palace, there was a person guarding the gate of the Qianqing Palace, but it was Zhang Gu, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing him, Zhang Gu hurriedly saluted with a smile, and said, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Royal Highness King Dun and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have all arrived for a while, and His Majesty is waiting for you!"

Xie Yao heard that Xie Xi and Xie Hui had already arrived, and he secretly thought about what happened, and asked casually, "Eunuch Zhang, do you know what is the important thing that Father asked our brothers to come over?"

"Hey, Your Highness, you asked your servant, and this servant is just a handyman, so you don't dare to speculate on the holy will. Your highness has already arrived, so you will know when you go in."

Seeing that he couldn't find anything to ask, Xie Yao bit the bullet and followed Zhang Gu into the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor was sitting on the Arhat bed. When he saw Xie Yao, he waved and smiled, "Yao'er, you came just in time. Your mother and I are talking about you."

"Yeah, Yao'er, I'm just waiting for you to start."

The queen also smiled and said: "If you, the elder brother, don't come, neither of them will want to talk."

Xie Yao saw that the empress looked good, and expected that it would not be a bad thing, so he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Since the emperor handed over the government affairs to him, he thought that he handled the affairs of the court rigorously on weekdays, even if he was not as comfortable as his father, at least it would be useless.

Unexpectedly, since the emperor became seriously ill, he fell into two big somersaults again and again.

Regarding Liu Qingyuan's impeachment, when Xie Yao looked back and thought about it, it was not difficult to find that the timing of the letter to participate in the selection was very good. It is to deliberately induce oneself to make mistakes.

Xie Yao was also thankful in his heart, but fortunately, Liu Qingyuan was only suspended from his job to wait for participation, and there was no follow-up processing.

If the chief assistant had been changed hastily at that time, then the father would definitely not be kind.

But in terms of Luo Xiu's handling, it is really irreparable.Luo Xiu was imprisoned, not to mention Luo's mansion was raided, even Luo Xiu's disciples were also punished.

After all, Luo Xiu was still a minister. With such a status, no one in the prison dared to make things difficult for him.

Luo Xiu's "fellows" were tortured terribly by Tan Taisong. Not only were they tortured, but they were also "taken care of" by the yamen servants to varying degrees.

It is said that one of them could not stand the torture and hanged himself in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

If no one overturns the case and kills everyone, there is no big problem.

But some people didn't die, and that's a big problem.

There are no soul-hunting ghosts in the world, but there are many people who are obsessed with revenge.

The current trend is that the emperor intends to appease the Luo family, not to mention the reinstatement of official Luo Xiu, those who were imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice will also be promoted to varying degrees.

Once these people have established a firm position in the court, they will inevitably become resistance to their enthronement.

It's okay to say that I will inherit the Datong in the future, but if I don't inherit the Datong, the consequences will not be difficult to imagine.

But I offended the chief minister of the cabinet who firmly supported the eight emperors.

In the past few days, he was full of apprehension, lest news that would be bad for him would come out.

He has always wanted to take the initiative to find the emperor to confess his mistake, but the emperor has no intention of chatting with him.

After two consecutive days of sleepless nights, the emperor didn't say a few words, and asked the brothers to step down on the grounds of lack of energy.

It's rare that the emperor took the initiative to call him here today, so he will have to seize the opportunity to defend himself later.

Xie Yao thought so, looked at the emperor, and met the emperor's eyes.

The emperor smiled at him, and said loudly: "The purpose of letting you come here today is to choose concubines for you. According to the regulations of our ancestors, the three of you have all reached the age of choosing concubines. It was supposed to be presided over by the Ministry of Rites after the Longevity Festival." Regarding the selection of concubine, I never thought that I would be ill for so many days and delay your good deeds."
