Chapter 18 Could it be that his backstage is the emperor
Chapter 18
Cui Jia and his group were extremely anxious and wanted to return to the capital to take revenge.
However, Eunuch Ade was not in a hurry at all. There were not many opportunities for eunuchs to leave the palace. The flowers, plants and mountains outside the palace were also very fresh to him.
Occasionally, we would stop our carriages and horses, stop and look into the distance, feeling the mountain breeze blowing across our cheeks.
With such beautiful mountains and rivers, Eunuch Ade felt so happy that he couldn't help but want to compose a poem - but he didn't have much ink in his belly.
He turned to look at Cui Jia and his party, and found that their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes. They seemed to have a lot of resentment.
Forget it, they don't think highly of eunuchs, so it's better not to bring trouble on yourself.
The two teams almost integrated into one, and it took them a day or two before they arrived in the capital.
After Ade returned to the palace, he immediately changed his clothes and returned to the Holy Spirit.
Cui Jia and his party also discussed and prepared to complain to the Holy One.
Today, the Holy Emperor is still young and has not personally managed the government. There is nothing to do on the left and right, and the young man is too playful.
When Eunuch Ade arrived, he found that the emperor was holding a biography of the Sword Immortal and was reading it with gusto.
The emperor didn't care when he saw that it was eunuch Ade. If those ministers saw him, he would be scolded for three days and three nights.
"Xiao Dezi is back. How did you do with the things I told you? I couldn't even drink a bowl of tea during the three or two days you were away."
"This servant is about to serve His Majesty."
Ade cooked a pot of fragrant tea, and while serving the emperor to drink tea, he talked about his experiences in Baihu County.
The emperor listened more and more seriously, and he was not even interested in reading the biography of the immortal hero in front of him.
"Okay, okay."
The emperor said excitedly: "Those ministers all said that he was lucky last time. This time he caught a group of thieves. What should I say? Could it be that he was lucky again?"
While making tea with the emperor, Ade whispered softly: "Who in the world has no parents? Your Majesty is the parents of everyone in the world. Mr. Li captured a group of thieves who were licentious. He saved many people and accumulated a lot of money."
How virtuous, Master Li is your Majesty’s minister, this blessing should be recorded on Your Majesty.”
The emperor listened more and more happily, and praised: "It is a blessing for the country and me to have such a minister."
At this time, there was an announcement from the Xiaohuang Gate that the Imperial Academy was offering wine to meet His Majesty.
The emperor hurriedly put away the biography of Xianxia in his hand and replaced it with a copy of "A Brief Examination of Counselors in Past Dynasties". Then he straightened his dragon robe, waved his hand and said, "Xuan."
Daqian established the Imperial College, and Jijiu was the highest official of the Imperial Academy. He was responsible for managing the religious affairs of a country and was often held by highly respected people.
Today's sacrificial wine is named Xiao Maochang, and he is eighty years old. To a certain extent, he can be regarded as half of the emperor's teacher.
Xiao Maochang went up to the hall on crutches. Eunuch Ade took a look and found that behind him were Mei Wenhua, Wu Shizu and others.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
As soon as Xiao Maochang came in, he knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.
"Teacher, please get up quickly. Come and sit down with the teacher."
The emperor was also a little strange. Seeing Xiao Mao's long beard shaking, he was obviously really angry. He said curiously: "I wonder who made the teacher so angry. It seems that the teacher is not very good at controlling anger."
"Li Xing!"
Xiao Maochang was so angry that he threw out two words.
The emperor was stunned, suddenly clasped his hands and smiled: "I know Li Xing. He is far away in Baihu County, and the teacher has been staying in the capital. How could he offend the teacher?"
Xiao Maochang calmed down his anger and said, "Does your Majesty know Li Shabai?"
"certainly."
The emperor said: "His name has long been heard by me. It is said that this person is excellent in poetry and poetry. One of his songs, "Xinghua Fairy", is my favorite. I also paired it with a painting. It is said that he plans to become an official in the court this time.
Why did the teacher suddenly mention him?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him anymore."
"Why?"
"He was caught."
"Caught by whom?"
"Li Xing."
"Um?"
The emperor opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face.
Mei Wenhua stood up at this time and told the story exactly, focusing on Li Xing's cruel methods.
"We couldn't bear to see Mr. Li suffer such a cruel attack. We all spoke out for justice, but in the end we also suffered from that person's murderous attack."
"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for us."
A group of people fell to their knees.
The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't make a decision in a hurry. He looked at Eunuch Ade and said, "Everyone, please be patient. I have a man here who just came back from Baihu County. The Li Xing he said is comparable to
You guys have different opinions. Xiao Dezi, do you think Li Xing can do this?"
Eunuch Ade had been leaning against the wall just now. As a eunuch, it is instinct to observe people's emotions and not to be in the limelight.
However, now that His Majesty asked him, he couldn't help but stand up.
"Your Majesty, I only stayed in Baihu County for one night and did not hear about this matter."
"I think, Mr. Li will not arrest people for no reason. There must be a reason."
"It makes sense."
The emperor clasped his hands together, looked at the others and said, "What is his reason for arresting people?"
The group of people were stunned. After a while, Mei Wenhua said: "He claimed that Li Shabai was a barbarian spy."
"This is impossible!"
Xiao Maochang said: "I have known Li Shabai for many years. There is no way he can be a spy."
"It is also the case that officials at the border will arbitrarily accuse people of being spies and take the opportunity to extort gold and silver." Mei Wenhua said.
The emperor felt a little confused again, three people became a tiger, and everyone's words to each other made his head swell.
He looked at Ade again. Ade had been fighting among people since he was a child, and his whole body was filled with evil intentions.
He knelt on the ground and said: "From my perspective, this matter is not complicated. The key lies in whether this Mr. Li is a barbarian spy. If Mr. Li really denigrates people's innocence and extorts gold and silver, there are also laws and regulations."
Wait for him, if this Mr. Li is indeed a barbarian spy, then Mr. Li is not only not guilty, but also guilty."
"Wonderful."
The emperor's eyes lit up, and everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
"Your Majesty, Li Shabai is definitely not a barbarian spy."
"I can guarantee it with my life!"
The emperor is also thinking about it now. Just because he is a little young does not mean he is a fool.
"Of course someone will investigate the truth of the matter. I will not believe Li Xing, nor will I believe your one-sided words. Come, Xuan Yu Long Wei Stall."
When he said the last sentence, the emperor felt quite majestic. It turns out that being the emperor is not that difficult, and it feels pretty good to sit on this dragon throne.
The name of the Yulongwei stall owner is Shan Changhe, and he has countless spies.
However, he has also been a little confused these past two days. Somehow, the Qingfeng Palace of the Barbarians has been in a state of turmoil these past two days. It seems that something big has happened, but there is no news at all from his side.
Alas, it seems that my intelligence work is not done well.
After being summoned by the Holy Spirit, he put on his official uniform and hurried over.
Mei Wenhua and Wu Shizu looked at this scene in shock.
They have never been able to find out who is behind Li Xing, and they firmly believe that Li Xing must have someone behind him.
How dare you be so arrogant without a backstage?
Seeing how His Majesty is doing today, he is always protective of Li Xing.
Could it be that his background is today's emperor!
