In fact, the emperor just wanted to find out where the gold on Qi Xiao came from.
In other words, this incident can be used to speculate whether Qi Yu is suspected of corruption.
If so, I'm sorry!
Qi Aiqing, you are a thief by yourself, why don't you have to atone for your sins by debasing yourself?
His little calculation was just rattling.
However, Qi Xiao is not a fool, and his thinking is also active.
Even though he seemed to be admiring the beautiful woman very carefully, in fact, he was also making calculations.
Your Majesty's face is cold and cold, and most likely he has no good intentions. Next, you must be careful in your words and deeds.
Um!
I just hope that the continuous ups and downs of this song and dance will wear down the emperor's energy and make him tired of watching. Only then can he find an opportunity to escape unscathed.
The idea is good, but it doesn't work in reality.
The current emperor is at the peak of his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period. How could he be worn out just by watching singing and dancing?
As a result, the emperor was still in high spirits and seemed not tired at all until the end of Haishi when the moon was high.
As a result, Qi Xiao was a little disappointed.
Isn't it frustrating that after enduring this long period of time, the effect is zero?
This is not actually the case.
Objectively speaking, in the battle of patience just now, the emperor was on the losing side.
Compared with Xiao Qixiao's calmness, the emperor seemed a little unable to hold himself back.
As everyone knows, in a psychological game, whichever party loses its composure first may lose the initiative.
In other words, only by keeping calm can you maintain clear judgment, otherwise, you will be beaten.
Obviously, the emperor did not realize this.
He finally couldn't help but speak, "You have a saying that people like to enjoy leisure and work, and play with things to lose their ambition. All entertainment and entertainment should be appropriate. If you indulge in it and can't extricate yourself, it may affect your future."
The hidden meaning behind the words is that after enjoying the song and dance performance for so long, it’s time to give it up, right?
Although Qi Xiao didn't want to stop, he couldn't disobey the holy will, so he was forced to nod.
Then, the vocal music stopped and the singing and dancing stopped.
The wonderful atmosphere that was ups and downs a moment ago turned into a dead water-like silence in the blink of an eye.
Then, with a wave of the emperor's sleeves, the palace door closed with a clang.
As a result, only Sheng Tianzi and Xiao Qixiao were left in the hall.
The latter's eyes flashed, and he keenly sensed something was wrong, and his vigilance suddenly increased.
"Qi Xiao, why did I hear that you are close to a few dandies in the capital? Tell me, is this the case?"
"Reply to your majesty, yes! However, the ministers communicated with them based on the concept of learning from each other and making progress together. The Master said: When three people walk together, they must have their own teachers. Choose the good ones and follow them, and follow the bad ones.
Change it. How can I not practice the sage’s teachings personally?”
Cough, spit!
Even if you use strong words to make excuses, why did you bring Saint Yun out?
Out of respect for Confucius, the emperor had to temporarily change his words and said in an educational tone: "It is true to learn from others' strengths and make up for one's own shortcomings. However, if you make friends with bad people, you may
You will go astray. You must keep this in mind at all times."
Qi Xiao hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty's words are word for word. I must recite them every day to examine myself."
"Um……"
The emperor felt that he had been pulling things here and there, but he had never been able to get to the point. Not only that, but this child had also set the pace.
Since we can't introduce the topic, we can only get straight to the point.
"There are rumors that your Qi family is quite wealthy..."
"Your Majesty, my father is elegant and noble, but he regards money as dirt. How can such a clean-minded man have a wealthy family?"
"Oh? Is this true?"
"Absolutely true!"
The emperor took a sip of wine and asked with a smile: "I heard that you often spend a lot of money in the capital. Where does your money come from?"
oh……
After wandering around for a long time, it turns out you want to say this...
wrong!
Very wrong!
Judging from the implication of his words, could it be that his father was greedy for money?
If this guess is true, it means that His Majesty wants to take advantage of his father.
As for the purpose, it's almost self-explanatory.
Qi Xiao wanted to tell him the truth. In fact, the gold was given privately by his grandma and had no direct relationship with his father's integrity.
However, he thought carefully and rejected this idea.
If grandma is confessed, won't it still cause trouble for the Qi family?
Therefore, it is not wise to do so.
The best way is to completely blame others for the origin of the money and cut ties with the Qi family.
The idea is right, but how to implement it?
Feeling that there is nothing to do, my aunt's previous advice suddenly rang in my ears: When you meet the emperor, you must never tell the truth about everything. You must observe carefully with multiple eyes. In addition, if you encounter a crisis, you can
That girl Mu Ziqing took advantage of her, that is, she lied that he was her husband.
Taking these two points as a general framework, Qi Xiao started thinking at a high speed according to the situation. Soon, he came up with what he thought was the best strategy.
In fact, this so-called clever countermeasure is just a lie, specially used to deceive ghosts.
The emperor saw the boy's eyes twinkling and immediately guessed his intention, so he warned him: "You must think carefully, deceiving me is the crime of deceiving the emperor, it is very serious!"
cut!
Do you think I'm scared?
Although Qi Xiao was not angry in his heart, he seemed to be sincere in his words: "Your Majesty, I am in Qiongzhou, but I am a well-known honest child. How could a tutor like me lie to you?"
"It's good to know!" The emperor nodded and urged: "Tell me quickly, where did your gold come from?"
Qi Xiao suddenly sighed and said: "Actually, this money is not the savings of our Qi family, but was given to me by my stupid wife..."
puff!!
The emperor had just taken a sip of wine and was immediately amused by these words.
I said, how old are you, and you already have a wife who sleeps with you in your arms?
Brag, you!
"Your Majesty, you don't believe it?"
"Don't believe it! Unless you can tell who your wife is and there is evidence to prove it, I will never believe it!"
Qi Xiao blinked at the emperor and said mysteriously: "Actually, the identity of my daughter-in-law is a high secret of our Qiongzhou, and it is not appropriate to disclose it to outsiders. However, since His Majesty has asked, I have to answer honestly. Her ancestral home is
The name of the capital city is Li Qing, also called Mu Ziqing!"
"ah……"
Hearing this, the emperor's face suddenly changed, and the wine glass in his hand dropped to the ground.
