Chapter 486

Su Buwei carefully wrapped the brocade around the emperor's knees and gently wrapped the emperor's legs. The emperor leaned back on the recliner as if in a daze, and his eyes looking at the sky did not move. No one knows why Xiangcheng was broken down. It was a great celebration, but the emperor was not happy at all. He didn't even enter Li Yuanshan's palace, but chose a rich man's house in the city to live in.

When it was warm in the afternoon, the emperor asked Su Buwei to help him out of the house, chose a clean sunny place and lay down in the recliner to rest.

For at least ten days, the emperor had not come out to breathe, but the Supreme Master, who was not old by grade, was old.

"It's still windy outside. If your majesty doesn't feel well, we'll go back."

Su Buwei said softly.

The emperor nodded slightly and looked away from the blue sky.

"Everyone is here?"

Asked the emperor.

Su Buwei bowed his head and said, "in addition to General Gao Kaitai, who is still sorting out troops and horses and arranging manpower outside Xiangcheng, other civil and military officials are already waiting in Haoran hall."

The emperor said, "where's Jin Shixiong."

"Bathing and dressing."

The two eunuchs walked slowly into the yard with a pile of memorials in their arms. Su Buwei waved to them to step down first. The emperor looked at them, raised his hand and waved it like driving away flies: "take it away... I don't look at the memorial today, and I won't look at it in the future. I sent someone back to the capital to tell the prince that I feel a little unwell. I won't send the memorial to the army in the future. Let him discuss everything with the queen."

"Here"

Su Buwei replied with a wink and asked the two little eunuchs to leave quickly.

"Su Buwei, I know you like Astrological divination at ordinary times. It's terrible. I blame you for not daring to do it openly. Just help me calculate today's luck if you're idle now?"

Su Buwei quickly replied, "I've calculated before. Everything is suitable today."

"Good day..."

The emperor waved, "then help me up and let's go to Haoran hall."

Su Buwei helped the emperor up. It happened that the internal attendant led Jin Shixiong to the audience. The emperor looked at him and said faintly, "don't say anything else. I'll give you an explanation for wronging you to live in the cage of the royal guards school these days. Follow me and tell me about you and Princess Xu's years on the wolf milk mountain. Pick up the festive point and say, I don't want to hear the sad and miserable things today."

"Here"

Jin Shixiong nodded and looked at Su Buwei suspiciously. Su Buwei sighed slightly and looked dignified.

Haoran hall was built by Li Yuanshan. Although it is not as magnificent as Tai Chi hall in Chang'an City, it is not small in scale. When the emperor was carried to the outside of Haoran hall, he specially looked at it. He was in a good mood and smiled and said that the word Haoran was good. Unfortunately, Li Yuanshan didn't have Haoran Qi, so he couldn't sit firmly in the hall.

Outside the hall, two rows of golden melon warriors stood upright and majestic.

In the hall, at least 120 Civil and military officials have been waiting here for a long time. Xiangcheng victory, almost everyone's face with a smile. After guarding Xiangcheng for 20 days, Li Yuanshan finally escaped from the west gate without carrying the attack of the imperial army. The significance of Xiangcheng's victory is great enough to leave a heavy mark in history books. This is Li Yuanshan's nest and the place where he became king. The recovery of Xiangcheng by the imperial court is equivalent to announcing that Li Yuanshan's rebel regime is about to collapse.

Seeing the emperor coming in, all the ministers immediately bowed to meet him.

Su Buwei helped the emperor up nine steps and sat down slowly on the chair where Li Yuanshan had sat for three years.

"I congratulate your majesty. As soon as Xiangcheng is broken, the end of Li Ni is not far away."

Some people began to praise the majesty of the emperor, and the followers immediately decorated the image of the emperor with more colorful sentences. Although the emperor looked like an old tree that was nearly withered, he was still a towering mountain in the words of praise.

"Get up."

The emperor said faintly, and it seemed that his mood was getting better. After knowing that Xiangcheng was broken, Li Yuanshan withdrew with the disabled soldiers, the Emperor didn't see a smile on his face. Perhaps he was infected by the ministers, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upward. At this time, the courtiers were almost in a trance, vaguely remembering his Majesty's demeanor before the western expedition.

"I'm actually happy today, so it's more comfortable to listen to your compliments than before. I haven't really been happy for three years since the defeat of the western expedition and the fall of the northwest. I feel as painful as a knife when I think of three rivers and mountains and thousands of people waiting for me to rescue. It's a good thing that Xiangcheng is broken. Although Li Yuanshan hasn't been killed, his doomsday is gone It's not far away, is it? "

"Li Ni was killed, only in the night!"

Another person stood up and began the second wave of praise.

The emperor smiled and nodded: "You've worked hard with me in the western expedition... I've been thinking about what kind of reward should be given to you to commend your achievements after the suppression of the rebellion? This gives me a headache. Look at you people, who are born in a famous family and have great wealth. You won't pay attention to the reward of silver. Many of you are already national princes. So I'm worried about how to make you happy We are all satisfied. "

"It's their duty for ministers to work for your majesty. They dare not say merit."

"It is their greatest glory that they can share their worries for your majesty."

"I'm a slave in front of and behind horses. I'm only willing to follow your majesty!"

The people did not see that the emperor was in a good mood for many days, so the flattery that had not been used for a while still came out of his mouth skillfully, still in such a sincere tone.

The emperor seemed to enjoy it. He raised his hand and pressed it down gently and said, "fortunately, I thought for a long time. After all, I finally thought of the most appropriate and glorious reward for you."

Everyone calmed down and waited for the emperor. Everyone had more or less expectations in their eyes, and there was a deliberately hidden pride.

The next word they heard made everyone like thunder!

"My body is getting worse day by day. The more I get here, the more reluctant I am to give up. I don't want to be with your monarchs and officials. So I suddenly thought that it would be good to take you with me and continue to be monarchs and officials in another world. What do you say

As soon as he said this, the hall was shocked and silent.

……

……

The emperor seemed very satisfied with the courtiers' reaction. He couldn't help laughing. His thin face was filled with a bright smile. He pointed to the ministers one by one: "You people who go out with me have been carefully considered by me. I really spent some time. I didn't bring any of the annoying ones I didn't look at. You are all my favorite ministers, so I think you should be very happy with such a reward, right?"

A civil servant's face was bloodless and trembled and said to himself, "Your Majesty... Your majesty, is this a joke..."

"It's not a joke."

The emperor smiled and said, "you have no jokes."

He waved his hand, and Su Buwei immediately shouted to the outside of the hall. Immediately after that, a large number of royal clothes schools poured into Haoran hall, and the sharp horizontal knife in his hand was out of its sheath. The door of Haoran hall was closed, and the light in the hall immediately darkened.

"Your majesty!"

Someone was frightened and said, "Your Majesty, why is this?"

"Why?"

The emperor shook his head: "you... Just now they all said they were willing to follow me. Why have you changed your face now?"

He paused and breathed slowly: "At this moment, I'm most happy to make this decision. I was hesitant at first, but when I saw you laughing because Xiangcheng was broken, I knew I couldn't hesitate... You're not idiots, and I'm not. So you don't have to pretend to be stupid... Xiangcheng is broken. It's really worth being happy? Are you happy that I've recovered it again A piece of lost land, but happy that I am about to go into the pit dug by your new master. "

"I won't wrong any of you. Don't you have any correspondence with Li Yuanshan in private? Li Yuanshan needs your secret help and advises me to follow the pit he arranged step by step. What you don't know is that Li Yuanshan doesn't need you now..."

He waved, and then two royal clothes schools came in carrying a bamboo basket.

"Li Yuanshan deliberately left all his correspondence with you people. What do you think he wants to do?"

The emperor smiled and became more comfortable.

"Your Majesty, do you want to be enemies with aristocratic families all over the world?"

Someone finally could not bear the pressure, stood up and pointed to the emperor and roared.

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't you always wonder why I only brought 200000 soldiers in this western expedition, but I want to recruit millions of people. Now I tell you, I know that my army can't be trusted. If I want to get rid of you, those generals with heavy soldiers are present, and I can't get rid of you. If I want to get rid of you, you will unite and send me to hell first. I'm sorry Therefore, recruiting brave people is to separate you from the army... Speaking of it, I'm sorry for the people who are willing to serve the country. They follow me to the northwest, but I know that few of them can go back alive. But they are my people, and they should stand up when I need them. "

"You said I was against the aristocratic families in the world..."

The emperor was silent for a moment and suddenly raised his voice: "I think it's not a day or two to do this. I really didn't have the courage to admit it before, but today I have!"

"In this western expedition, fighting the rebels is only one thing. The most important thing is that I want to leave a clean court for the crown prince and take away a group of dirty ghosts. I know how Li Yuanshan arranged it, and you all know that it is precisely because of Li Yuanshan's arrangements that I have the opportunity to get rid of you... I use myself, millions of people and millions of rebels to help you Let's bury together and be content... Soon, the imperial army will be defeated in a place west of Xiangcheng, and the rebels will enter the camp. None of you loyal and patriotic ministers are willing to surrender and die generously. When I'm bored, I'll even write out the praise and will give each of you after death. I'll send it to the capital after today, and the crown prince won't have to do this boring thing again. "

Either because he had just taken the medicine or because he was excited, the emperor looked better and better: "I know that Li Yuanshan has dug a big hole and is going to fill me in. Luo Yao and you are helping him fill the hole. But I also dug a big hole and exchanged my life for the lives of Li Yuanshan and Luo Yao with the lives of millions of brave and loyal to me! I can't leave the prince a complete River and mountain, so I had to leave him a piece of meat, but I didn't destroy it To the rivers and mountains in your bones. And you never know where the pit I dug is. "

"You are all smart people, but you are all treating me as an idiot."

The emperor sighed: "If I'm healthy, I'm too lazy to kill you in this way. I'll take 10, 20 or even 30 years to get rid of you, including your family. But you don't realize that I'm going to gouge out your aristocratic families for hundreds of years. I have this ability... Unfortunately, God doesn't give me much time. I haven't killed many people since I became king, but you can't But you always think I'm the gentlest emperor in the Sui Dynasty. I've always been proud to cheat you. If I have enough time, I plan to be proud all my life. "

Everyone opened their mouths and looked at the emperor who was talking loudly.

The emperor leaned forward slightly, looked at the panicked courtiers, smiled and said proudly, "when I'm healthy, play slowly. When I'm not healthy, play quickly. But... When I want to play, you can only be played obediently."
