Chapter 863: Liwei, a group of useless people
Lin Chujiu finished drinking the digestive soup cooperatively, and then walked around the room twice, feeling much more comfortable in her stomach. Turning around, seeing Xiao Tianyao finished eating, Lin Chujiu said: “Wangye, it’s getting late, I should rest.”
“Well, it’s time to rest.” Xiao Tianyao glanced at the hourglass. It was already midnight, and Lin Chujiu must have been tired all day and couldn’t hold on.
Looking up, he glanced at Lin Chujiu, who was listless and guarded, Xiao Tianyao secretly sighed. He gave up his plan to sleep with Lin Chujiu, got up, and said: “Benwang still has some business to attend to, so I won’t be coming back tonight. ” After finishing speaking, he walked past Lin Chujiu and walked outside.
He came back to eat with Lin Chujiu tonight, and although the process was not very good, luckily the result was not bad, at least the two of them finished the meal.
Looking at Xiao Tianyao who walked out without hesitation and without looking back, Lin Chujiu was stunned in place, unable to react for a long time.
She thought that there was still a tough battle to be fought. She thought of various ways to refuse to share the bed with Xiao Tianyao, and she also thought about what Xiao Tianyao would say and how she would answer, but the facts told her that she was acting passionately.
“This feeling is really bad.” Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao who had disappeared into the darkness, and laughed at herself.
This kind of feeling was like, you think that a man who pays attention to you every day and keeps courting you likes you and wants to chase you, but it turns out that it was just a misunderstanding, and you were simply thinking too much.
Lin Chujiu, who was thinking too much, was in a bad mood. As if something was stuck in her heart, she couldn’t open her eyes even though she was sleepy, but she couldn’t sleep at all while lying on the bed and kept her eyes open until dawn.
Fortunately, she wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep. Many people couldn’t sleep tonight like Lin Chujiu. Such as the Empress, Imperial Concubine Zhou, the eldest prince, and those officials who have been staring at Xiao Tianyao.
Prince Xiao suddenly hurried back to his mansion with a food box in the middle of the night, and returned to the palace empty-handed at midnight, what did Prince Xiao hear? Did he plan to do something?
Anyone who knew about Xiao Tianyao’s activities could not figure out Xiao Tianyao’s intentions. Almost all the insiders stayed up all night, calling their people to discuss what Prince Xiao did at that hour.
As for those who made small moves behind their backs, they all had a guilty conscience. They didn’t care if it was the middle of the night, they summoned their capable officers and asked them to clean up their tails, lest Prince Xiao catch evidence.
However, these have nothing to do with Xiao Tianyao. Xiao Tianyao rushed back to the palace in an emergency and then dealt with the remaining official duties, and could barely finish reviewing the urgent official duties before dawn.
“Come here, prepare a bath and change of clothes. Tell Prime Minister You and the six ministers came to see benwang.” Xiao Tianyao, who had been busy all day and night, did not show any fatigue on his face. His dark eyes were sharp and sharp, and there was no trace of tiredness, which made people dare not look directly at him.
The eunuchs took orders and performed their respective duties. Half an hour later, Xiao Tianyao came out refreshed after taking a bath, and at this time the ministers also rushed to the meeting hall, only Prime Minister Lin was missing.
“Wangye, may you live a thousand years old.” As soon as Xiao Tianyao stepped into the meeting hall, all the ministers bowed and saluted.
Xiao Tianyao walked past the crowd and sat down on the main seat: “You may rise! Sit down.”
“Thank you, wangye.” The six ministers and Prime Minister You were on both sides, and there was an empty seat in front, which was very eye-catching.
“Where’s Prime Minister Lin? Why haven’t you come yet?” Xiao Tianyao asked knowingly, after all, it’s not a secret that the emperor put Prime Minister Lin under house arrest.
“Answering back wangye, Prime Minister Lin is in the palace, and the imperial guards said that the emperor gave an order. Without the order of the emperor, Prime Minister Lin must not leave for half a step.” The people who can be called Xiao Tianyao were all smart. No matter what small plans they have in private do a small move, and they are absolutely in support of Xiao Tianyao on the surface.
“Follow the matter urgently, go and invite Prime Minister Lin over, and say it’s Bewang’s intention.” Xiao Tianyao said calmly as if this was a very common thing.
“This…” The Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and answered. There was no doubt that the person who can sit in this position must belong to the emperor. If he wants to answer Prince Xiao’s words, he will hit the emperor in the face.
“What? Can’t you do it?” Xiao Tianyao raised his dazzling eyes and asked in a cold voice.
When Prime Minister You saw it, he hurriedly stood up: “Wangye, why don’t you let this old minister invite him?”
This was a contest between King Xiao and the emperor, and it was also the key to the position. He has made it clear that he was on Prince Xiao’s side, so there should be no hesitation. It was not a loss of face for him to invite Prime Minister Lin.
“I’ll trouble Prime Minister You.” Xiao Tianyao responded bluntly.
Yesterday, he didn’t show my prestige, but today he has to show my prestige, lest the emperor’s confidantes naively think that the emperor can regain power when he wakes up.
Prime Minister You hastily said: “Don’t dare,” and then walked out without haste.
As soon as Prime Minister You went out, Xiao Tianyao closed his eyes, making it clear that he was unwilling to speak. The six ministers looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak.
They were waiting, waiting for Prime Minister Lin to come back, or Prime Minister You to come back by himself, but they don’t know which possibility they expect to happen. After all, no matter what the possibility it would be, it would not be a good thing for them.
If Prime Minister You is brought back by Prime Minister Lin, where will the emperor’s face be placed? Even if the emperor was unconscious now, he was still alive after all. If he was still alive, he was still the emperor. His words were the imperial orders, and the emperor’s orders cannot be violated.
If Prime Minister You didn’t bring Prime Minister Lin back, where would Prince Xiao’s face be? The emperor was in a coma, and Prince Xiao was in charge of the power alone. So can Prince Xiao bear it?
This was a dilemma.
The six ministers secretly sighed in their hearts, but they didn’t show it on their faces.
Time passed by every minute and every second, but Prime Minister You was still nowhere to be seen. The six ministers were not in a hurry. They knew that Prime Minister You was getting older and walked slowly, but two hours passed, and Prime Minister You haven’t come back. The six ministers can’t sit down properly anymore.
Prime Minister You haven’t come back for so long, nine times out of ten there was a dispute, and the final result of a dispute with the palace guard was not good.
The Minister of the Ministry of War was restless, he hesitated to get up and said: “Wangye, Prime Minister You have not come back yet, I am afraid something has happened, please allow me to go and check.” Prime Minister You was from a prestigious family, and he was quite old. It would be bad if there were three long and two short.
“You?” Xiao Tianyao opened his eyes, and glanced coldly at the Minister of War: “Can you bring Prime Minister You and Prime Minister Lin back for a quarter of an hour?”
“This…” Minister of the Ministry of War looked embarrassed, Xiao Tianyao snorted coldly: “If you can’t do it, just shut up for me.”
“Yes, wangye.” The Minister of the Ministry of War touched a hard nail and sat down in silence.
Xiao Tianyao’s dazzling eyes swept over the six people, and said, “Which of you can do it?”
The six ministers bowed their heads in silence, and none of them stood up… …
