In the past, Li Ke was respectful in front of him and didn't dare to tell a joke.
It does make some sense now.
"You have taken the courage of a leopard recently, and you dare to talk to me like this." The emperor glanced at Li Ke, and then looked at the fishing rod in front of him.
Li Ke pursed his lips and did not dare to answer the emperor's words again.
"Ke'er, do you blame me?" The emperor suddenly spoke and said something that made Li Ke confused.
"Why did my father suddenly say this? Moreover, there is no reason why I should blame my father."
"Everything arranged by the emperor is naturally based on the emperor's consideration. I have no complaints."
Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly said such a thing, I don't even know what the emperor means by saying this.
But Li Ke still expressed his respect for the emperor.
"I know that you have always been unhappy with me. You want to follow Mr. Chen."
"Father, have you ever..."
Li Ke wanted to argue, but was interrupted by the emperor's hand.
"You don't need to say that there is no such thing. To be honest, I also want to go to Qixian County with Mr. Chen. After all, staying here is really boring."
"But there is one thing I still have to remind you."
"You will encounter many things in the future, such as returning to your own fiefdom."
"Then are you still as listless as you are now?"
"What should we do with the people in the fief?" the emperor said slowly.
Li Ke listened in his heart, but he was a little worried whether his father was reminding him in advance.
"You don't have to think too much, I just want to tell you, no matter what the situation, don't forget yourself."
"Everyone himself is a very capable person." The emperor continued.
Li Ke nodded in understanding.
"Hey, the fish is hooked." The emperor looked happy, lifted the fishing rod in his hand, and a plump carp was lifted up.
Li Ke twitched his mouth. He didn't know that the emperor had taken the bait with this sentence.
Was it really just the fish that took the bait, or did Li Ke take the bait?
"father……"
"Where the foolish king is, kill him."
"Quickly, kill him."
"for freedom."
Li Ke also wanted to ask the emperor, but he heard noisy sounds in the distance.
Looking back, they saw hundreds of ragged, crazy-looking people running towards them.
Everyone holds a hoe, sickle, kitchen knife and other agricultural tools and weapons in their hands.
The Beiya Forbidden Army soldiers who were responsible for guarding the emperor's safety wanted to step forward to stop him, but were knocked to the ground by the crowd.
"Father, leave quickly." Li Ke's expression changed drastically.
He didn't understand where these people came from, but they were obviously coming for the emperor.
The emperor frowned and looked at the people chasing him in front. He was silent for a moment before dropping the fishing rod in his hand.
"Go." The emperor ordered.
Li Ke and a group of Beiya Imperial Guard soldiers escorted the emperor away.
…
The emperor's face looked a little ugly when he returned to the inn.
"Father, I know my fault. Before going to the north of the city, I did not investigate the situation there carefully."
"Please punish me father." Li Ke knelt on the ground and begged the emperor.
Li Ke didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation after following the emperor out to relax.
Hundreds of refugees armed with farm tools attempted to assassinate the emperor.
This is clearly an insult to the emperor.
And he, Li Ke, as the emperor's personal guard, had not investigated the surrounding situation clearly before.
Of course it's a capital crime.
"You get up first." The emperor waved his hand, with anger still on his face, but it was not directed at Li Ke.
Li Ke stood up, but did not dare to look at the emperor.
"Ma Zhiyuan can't bear it any longer. Maybe Mr. Chen did something in Qixian that made him feel dangerous."
"That's why Ma Zhiyuan is so impatient and wants to force us to go to Qixian County quickly." The emperor said slowly, with a sharp look on his face.
"Father, what you mean is that those people today were sent by Ma Zhiyuan?" Li Ke seemed to have just realized what he meant.
"Other than him, who would know so clearly where I have gone?"
"Just wait, Ma Zhiyuan will be here soon, please go to Qixian County as soon as possible." The emperor sneered, sat on the chair, and clenched his fists slightly.
Li Ke stood aside and heard a voice coming from outside before he could speak.
"Your Majesty, Ma Zhiyuan, the Governor of Qizhou, would like to see you." Ma Zhiyuan's voice came.
The emperor looked at Li Ke, who frowned and secretly said that it was exactly as the emperor guessed.
"Come in." The emperor said.
Ma Zhiyuan walked in and hurriedly bowed to the emperor: "I heard that your Majesty, Ma Zhiyuan, encountered a group of refugees in the north of the city today. I am extremely frightened."
"May I ask Your Majesty, have you ever been frightened?"
"I have asked the magistrate of Jing County to send people to expel those refugees."
Ma Zhiyuan apologized.
If Ma Zhiyuan could be captured with this, the emperor would definitely be unceremonious.
Unfortunately, the emperor could only scold with a sullen face: "Refugees, it's because of the inaction of local officials like you."
"Otherwise, why would there be so many refugees?"
"Deport them, deport them to where?"
"Are you going to your Ma Zhiyuan's house?"
The emperor almost didn't say directly that these people ran away from Ma Zhiyuan's house.
The refugees suddenly appeared. If Ma Zhiyuan hadn't been a hindrance, how would he know where they were?
"Your Majesty taught me that I am guilty." Ma Zhiyuan kowtowed to the emperor.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, the refugees in Jingxian County are gathered from all over the country, and some of them are people who do not do their jobs and are just eating and waiting to die."
"Now that they are gathered here, they may collide with His Majesty's Holy Chariot again."
"I am bold and want to ask Your Majesty to leave Jingxian County as soon as possible and go to Qixian County."
"There is Zhechong Mansion in Qixian County, and it will definitely protect His Majesty."
Hearing this, Li Ke on the side also twitched the corner of his mouth.
It's exactly what the emperor said just now.
Ma Zhiyuan will definitely come to persuade the emperor to go to Qixian.
Those people were arranged by Ma Zhiyuan.
"But my body has not recovered yet." There was a trace of hesitation on the emperor's face.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. There is a better living environment in Qixian County. The doctor is waiting at the Governor's Mansion and will definitely restore your Majesty's body as soon as possible." Ma Zhiyuan said quickly.
What Ma Zhiyuan wants now is to get the emperor to Qixian as soon as possible.
When they arrived in Qixian County, their plan was 80% successful.
As long as they get the news about Chang'an, they can take action against the emperor.
But if the emperor had stayed in Jingxian, he would not have the military strength of Zhechong Prefecture and the comprehensive arrangements of Qixian.
Ma Zhiyuan cannot guarantee that there will be no flaws in the plan.
And this matter must not be neglected at all.
Otherwise, they will all die.
Ma Zhiyuan looked at the emperor pleadingly. He now hoped that the emperor would nod and agree.
The emperor looked at Ma Zhiyuan, knowing in his heart the true thoughts of his eyes.
Thinking of the Qizhou riot, it turned out to be a plan against him, the emperor.
The emperor wanted to see how Ma Zhiyuan would deal with him.
