The next day.
"Retreat!"
With Cao Shuang's loud retreat, today's morning court officially ended.
The officials were walking out one after another, but on the general's side, someone saw Ye Wei still standing there with his hands tied.
His colleagues thought he fell asleep while standing, so they quickly reached out to push him:
"Lao Ye! Lao Ye! Wake up quickly, it's time to go to court!"
However, when he saw Ye Wei's expressionless face, the colleague was embarrassed on the spot.
I haven't slept in my feelings. What are you doing standing there if I haven't slept?
"I have something to see your Majesty today. You should go back first."
"Oh! That's it. I'll go back first."
The embarrassed colleague saw that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly left as if running away.
My feelings are my own fault.
After all the officials had retreated, a young eunuch saw that Ye Wei had not yet withdrawn and came up to inquire about the situation. After Ye Wei asked to see His Majesty, the young eunuch hurriedly informed him.
Ye Wei soon received a reply of approval, and followed the young eunuch who came to deliver the message to the side hall.
Zhao Duan was just about to return to the palace when he suddenly received the news that Ye Wei wanted to see him. Zhao Duan was a little strange. After the little eunuch who brought the message left, he asked Cao Shuang: "Cao Banban, do you think Ye Wei suddenly wants to see me?" what's the situation?
Has anything happened to Ye Wei recently? "
After hearing this, Cao Shuang thought for a moment, then frowned and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, nothing seems to have happened to Deputy Privy Councilor Ye recently. I don't know why Councilor Ye asked to see you."
Seeing no answer, Zhao Duan shook his head and stopped asking.
After a while, Ye Wei was brought over by the young eunuch.
"Your Majesty, bring Deputy Privy Councilor Ye here!"
As soon as he arrived, the young eunuch hurriedly reported. Zhao Jun waved his hand and the young eunuch hurriedly left. At this time, Ye Weidang saluted and bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Ye Wei, greet me. May your Majesty pay your respects?"
"I am safe!"
After Zhao Duan returned, he waved his hand and asked directly:
"Privilege Ye, why did you suddenly come to see me if you didn't go home this afternoon?
Has something happened in the Privy Council recently? "
Ye Wei shook his head and replied: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I came to see your Majesty today not for official matters, but for private matters."
"Private matter?"
Zhao Duan had a puzzled expression on his face.
"Exactly!"
Ye Wei nodded and affirmed.
"Just listen."
Zhao Duan leaned on the armrest of his seat with his hands on his hands, wanting to hear what private matter Privy Zhao had to come to see him.
However, Zhao Wei's next words almost made him fall off his seat.
"I heard that His Majesty is planning to go to Yunzhou County after the autumn harvest without telling the ministers. I wonder if it is true?"
thump!
Zhao Duan, who was holding his head, lost all strength and nearly hit the armrest with his head. Fortunately, Cao Shuang reacted in time and supported him, so he didn't hit him.
But he no longer cared about this. He stood up directly and said with a look of disbelief: "How do you know?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Duan seemed to have thought of something, and his face instantly became gloomy.
Ye Wei was nothing, so he immediately understood that His Majesty might think that he was spying on the palace, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I did not spy on the palace. This is what King Yun told me in the letter!"
With that said, Ye Wei immediately took out Zhao Jun's letter from his arms.
With a look from Zhao Duan, Cao Shuang hurriedly walked down and brought up the letter.
When he opened the letter, Zhao Duan was stunned by Zhao Jun's casual and funny words. He almost wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. Is this a letter written by his son?
Why is this kid so mean?
Who did he inherit it from? It doesn’t look like him or his mother!
Zhao Duan glanced up at Ye Wei with a slightly embarrassed look, and continued to look.
Then I realized that it was this boy who revealed the news to his old man Taishan. What was even more disgusting was that this bastard actually called him old man!
hateful! I am obviously just fifty this year, why am I an old man?
After he read the entire letter, he calmed down his emotions, coughed awkwardly, and then said:
“Uh, what is that.
Ye Aiqing, this talk about going to Yunzhou County is just a casual comment by me. I may not go there, and you don’t have to take it seriously.
Look, there are so many things going on in this court, how can I go anywhere?
Yes or no? "
Unexpectedly, Ye Wei said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, please bring your ministers with you!"
"Well……"
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Ye Qing, I told you this was just a joke."
Ye Wei bowed again: "Your Majesty, please bring me with you!"
"you……"
Zhao Duan was a little angry.
Ye Wei continued: "If your Majesty does not take me with you, then as soon as your Majesty disappears, I will tell the civil and military officials of your Majesty the whereabouts of your Majesty."
"You...are you threatening me?"
Zhao Duan looked at Ye Wei with disbelief. He was usually such an honest person, but why was he so stubborn today that he dared to threaten him.
But he didn't know that Ye Wei, who was his daughter's slave, was also risking his life at this moment.
"I don't dare! But your Majesty, please also understand the pain of missing your daughter. Your Majesty is also a father and wants to visit His Highness Sixth Prince.
But Chen is also a father and wants to see his daughter.
Since His Majesty is going, why not take your ministers with you?
Your Majesty, please understand! "
After saying that, Ye Wei knelt down on the ground with a plop and gave Zhao Duan a deep headbutt.
In the Song Dynasty, kowtow was a great gift. The great gift of bowing to the ground was always only for one's parents.
As for the king, he can only act during the annual great court meeting, the enthronement of the new emperor and the time of worshiping heaven.
Generally, only treacherous ministers would kowtow to the emperor every day and flatter him regardless of the occasion.
Now Ye Wei was knocked directly, which really confused Zhao Duan. He looked at him in shock for a long time, pointing his fingers but not knowing what to say.
In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, sit back on his seat, waved his hands and said:
“Okay, okay, if you want to go there, just go with me.
Now! immediately! immediately!
Go home and stop being an eyesore here! "
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ye Wei followed suit and kowtowed again and shouted thank you, Your Majesty!
Then he stood up again, clasped his fists respectfully and bowed before turning around and preparing to leave.
Zhao Duan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. However, at this moment, Ye Wei, who had just turned around, suddenly turned back.
Zhao Duan's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
"Your Majesty! You promised me that you would take me with you, but you must not deceive me. As the saying goes, you have no words, your majesty must not break your trust with me!"
His suspicious expression and words immediately made Zhao Duan angry.
He stood up and roared angrily:
"Go, go, go, get out! Since when have I stopped talking?
Get out of here right now. If you don’t get out, you won’t be able to leave! "
Ye Wei also resigned as soon as he saw that he seemed to have really pissed off His Majesty, so he quickly shrank his neck and walked out quickly.
After he had left for a long time, the panting Zhao Duan sat back down.
Looking at the letter in his hand, he suddenly slapped the armrest with an angry hand.
"This damn sixth child is all his fault! When I see him, I must let him feel what a father's love is like!"
