Early the next morning, led by the emperor's most trusted personal chamberlain, Lao Gao, they rode out of the city and went straight to Xiaojiazhuang to deliver the order.
"There have been many state affairs recently, and my Holy Body has violated the peace. I specially dismissed Song Guogong Xiao Yu from hiding behind closed doors to think about his mistakes, recalled him to the court, and led Shangshu Zuopushe..."
Xiao Yu, who was fishing, had not yet reacted. He bowed to listen to the order in a daze until Lao Gao, the chamberlain, urged: "Xiao Xiang, Your Majesty, please accept the order to express your gratitude. The court is waiting for you to command all the officials and share the worries of the country." Woolen cloth."
"Oh, this... high chamberlain, Xiao Yu is guilty, how come..." Xiao Yu was puzzled.
"Hey, a few days ago, Chen Shuda was ignorant and quarreled with you in the court. His Majesty had no choice but to punish you two. But after thinking about it, you are so public-minded, what crime did you commit? No, Chen Shuda's mother died of illness yesterday. Please resign and return to your hometown to be your mother. Your Majesty will summon you as soon as your anger subsides. The court cannot do without you."
What? ? ? Chen Shuda’s mother died of illness?
Xiao Yu exclaimed, and then looked at his son's small courtyard, cursing secretly that it couldn't be this kid who did it, right? How dare he? Chen Shuda and I just have political differences. In order to take revenge, you killed his mother?
Just as he was talking, Xiao Rui ran out with a bowl of soup: "Dad, the medicine is ready. Drink it while it's hot. The effect of the medicine will be reduced when it gets cold."
Xiao Yu slapped the medicine bowl away, "You bastard, tell me honestly, was it you who did what happened to Chen Shuda?"
"Ah? What's going on? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?" Xiao Rui looked up, hey, a group of strangers?
"Did you spare my father's pleasure in fishing?" Xiao Rui asked in a bad tone.
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, also had status, and said with a bit of pride: "What did you say, Your Majesty? We are here to announce the decree to invite Duke Song to return to the court on His Majesty's orders."
Xiao Yu twisted his son's ears and asked: "You traitor, you still don't admit it? Do you dare to say you don't know about Chen Shuda?"
"Chen Shuda? What's wrong with Chen Shuda? Dad, what are you talking about? Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu...I asked Uncle Hu to arrange it. Can you please say it if you have something to say? So many people are watching..."
Although Xiao Yu was angry, he was still close to his son and knew that the family scandal should not be made public. He twisted Xiao Rui's ears and walked into the yard.
In the study, the father and son, as well as the butler Xiao Hu, were waiting by their side. Xiao Yu asked angrily: "The eunuch Gang Gao said that Chen Shuda's old mother died of illness and returned to his hometown Ding You. You once said that you would let the Chen family get out of Chang'an within three days. That's right. Such ruthless means?"
Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Hu in surprise, "No, Uncle Hu, we are serious people, why are you killing people and stealing goods? Even old people can do it?"
The housekeeper Xiao Hu also looked confused, "No, young master, according to your instructions, I have sent people to suppress the Chen family, buy their land and shops, etc. Who killed his mother, I really don't know ah."
Phew...that's it.
Xiao Rui breathed a long sigh of relief and spread his hands: "Look, Dad, we found out clearly that it was not us."
Xiao Yu glared at his son fiercely, stared at the housekeeper Xiao Hu and asked, "Is that just that?"
"Master, I don't dare to tell any lies." Xiao Hu fell to his knees with a plop.
Xiao Yu kicked him and snorted: "Get up. I quarreled with Chen Shuda in court for official reasons. How can I retaliate privately? Stop all actions against the Chen family. I asked you to follow the young master to take care of him. Don't The one who made him go astray was not for you to act as a hawk and dog for him. If you lead the young master astray, I can’t spare you!"
After saying that, he strode towards the living room. Everyone in the high chamberlain was already drinking tea and waiting.
But before Xiao Yu could agree, Xiao Rui chased him out, "Wait a minute, this chamberlain, my father has not recovered from his illness, so he cannot return to Chang'an to take up his post now."
"Huh? Duke Song, look..." Lao Gao, the chamberlain, was puzzled.
Xiao Yu asked his son, "Nonsense, what do you know?"
Xiao Rui smiled and asked the chamberlain Gao: "May I ask, sir, apart from this imperial edict, does your Majesty have anything else to say to my father?"
Gao Chamberlain suddenly realized, "So that's it. So, that thing was really made by the young master, and Song Guogong didn't know about it at all?"
Xiao Rui nodded.
The chamberlain Lao Gao smiled and said: "Okay, in that case, let me make some conditions, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has made it clear that one thing is the same, and the matter of Song Guogong returning to Beijing to take up his post has nothing to do with this."
Xiao Yu was confused and watched the two of them playing riddles. He had no idea what was going on.
"what are you guys saying?"
The chamberlain Lao Gao was very shrewd and praised: "Congratulations to Duke Song, you have given birth to a Qilin son. The eldest son has developed a method to improve poisonous salt. He can turn toxic mineral salt into non-toxic good salt..."
Um? Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Xiao Rui stared at the chamberlain Lao Gao speechlessly, sneered and said mockingly: "You are worthy of being a celebrity by your Majesty's side, are you trying to flatter me?"
"I don't dare, the eldest master has misunderstood. It's just that you have accomplished something that countless people have wanted to do for hundreds of years. This magic power will last for thousands of years. I admire it deeply in my heart and I can't help but feel excited for a while." .”
Xiao Rui waved his hand to stop the flatterer, "Okay, no need to explain. Whether you mean it or not, since you dare to play tricks on me, then fine, don't blame me for raising the price."
Looking at the face of the person in front of him, although he was young and immature, his eyes and tone seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. The chamberlain Lao Gao was sweating in his heart. At this moment, he had a feeling that he had messed up just now.
I originally wanted Song Guogong Xiao Yu to persuade his son to accept it as soon as possible and not to speak loudly. After all, this matter is too big for the Xiao family to handle.
But who would have thought that Xiao Rui, who was only a teenager, would be so experienced?
Xiao Yu exclaimed: "Rui'er, is what Chamberlain Gao said true?"
"good!"
"Asshole, if there is such a method, it will benefit the country and the people, and it will be done for generations to come. It should be dedicated to the court immediately, you..."
Xiao Rui held down his father: "Why? Moral kidnapping? It doesn't work here. Originally, I didn't think anything of it. As long as His Majesty reinstates you, or uses it as a betrothal gift for marrying your wife in the future, it will be fine. But he Attitude, haha... High chamberlain, right? Please report back to His Majesty, and I can give you the secret recipe according to my three conditions."
Hiss... Chamberlain Gao broke out in cold sweat, "Eldest Young Master, please tell me? What are the conditions?"
Xiao Rui smiled, "I haven't thought about anything yet. The request I mentioned is that Your Majesty promises me three conditions. When I use it in the future, Your Majesty cannot shirk it. In this way, I can contribute the secret recipe."
This, what is this... aren't these three death-free gold medals? This is too heavy!
"My lord, your conditions are too..."
"Stop it! You are just a messenger, there is no need for you to comment. Just reply to His Majesty truthfully: Allowing me three is not contrary to ethics and does not violate national laws. It is a condition that Your Majesty can fulfill! That's all."
Xiao Yu reprimanded: "Asshole! How can you ask His Majesty like this for the sake of national affairs?"
Xiao Rui pointed to his head and said, "Dad, I have the secret recipe. If you want to rob it, just take the head."
After saying that, he raised his legs and left, looking dandy and unreasonable.
"The traitor...this bastard...how did I, Xiao Yu, give birth to such a bastard? I am so angry!"
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, felt bitter in his heart and said goodbye: "Song Duke, please calm down. I don't blame the eldest son. It was the old slave who messed up the matter in a hurry. I will apologize to your majesty. As for the eldest son's words, I will convey them to your majesty. However, for the sake of national affairs, , it is also good for you to advise the eldest son privately, it will be beneficial to his future career."
On the way back, the chamberlain Lao Gao was already thinking about what kind of punishment he should receive? Unexpectedly, my chamberlain, Gao Banjun, who has been with you for many years, would be manipulated by a little kid? Xiao Rui? amazing!
