Yan Qi rolled his eyes: "Why did Master Guo become a liar?"
Guoping Ren said: "If you say that whoever destroys this wild horse field will be rewarded with a hundred thousand taels, isn't this a liar?"
Yan Qi smiled: "It's true. If someone really breaks this arrangement, let alone 100,000 taels of silver, even 200,000 taels, I dare to say that! I won't frown if it's 500,000 taels." !”
The people from Guoping looked surprised: "Dean Yan dares to give such a big reward? How dare he give a reward of 500,000 taels?"
Yan Qi chuckled: "For example! The old master said: Whoever can pick off the stars in the sky will be rewarded 10 million taels. Do you dare?"
Master Guo laughed loudly: "Of course I dare. The stars in the sky cannot be picked down, so this task cannot be completed. Let alone me, anyone else would dare to say this."
Yan Qi said: "It's the same with my wild horse Cao Tian. I can bet no matter how big or small it is, because no one can crack it except me."
The people of Guoping had to admire Yan Qi's confidence and courage.
"Dean Yan, there are only one and a half people I admire in my life, count one."
Yan Qi smiled: "Who is the honored half?"
The Guoping man sighed: "Cao Chunqiu is half of it."
Yan Qi asked: "Why is it considered half?"
Guoping Humanity said: "Cao Chunqiu is indeed an unparalleled prime minister. He is a great power and a country full of turmoil. Under his governance, everything is in order and the economy is full of vitality."
"However, he defected to Dahua, killed the prince, and behaved so badly. Of course, he can only be regarded as half a person I admire."
Yan Qi smiled: "It's not easy to make an old master even admire him, haha."
"Dean Yan, please stop making fun of me."
The Guoping people got up, put on their clothes, and took the pair of wild horses.
"Dean Yan, do you need me to do anything else?"
Yan Qi shook his head: "Old Master Guo only needs to accidentally show this wild horse field to the emperor to seduce the emperor's interest. As for other things, whatever the emperor asks, just answer truthfully."
Master Guo's face was full of doubts: "Can I achieve the desired effect if I do this? Dean Yan, what exactly do you want to achieve?"
Yan Qi blinked: "Keep it secret."
faint!
The Guoping man shook his head and sighed: "I can't see what the trick is. Forget it, no matter what, I'll go to the palace first. I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and I really want to go to the palace to visit. I don't know the emperor's condition.
How's it going? His condition is related to the pattern of Dahua. "
…
The people of Guoping enter the palace.
Gao Shangtian, the chief of the Ouchi guards, blocked the door: "Old Master Guo, why are you here?"
Gao Shangtian is in his forties, with a rosy face and bulging temples.
At first glance, he is a peerless master.
Guoping Ren said: "I came to visit the Emperor."
Gao Shangtian said: "The emperor is in good health. However, the emperor is upset now and does not want to see anyone. You should go back. If the emperor is unhappy, the emperor will not lose his temper with you. Those of us who are bodyguards, But it’s miserable.”
The people of Guoping were blocked by Gao Shangtian and had no choice but to act according to Yan Qi's plan.
His eyes were red, and he squeezed out tears: "General Gao, I heard that the prince's death in Hongcheng was mentioned again in the court today. As the prince's master, I feel complicated and inexplicable. For this reason, I want to enter the palace, have a few words with the emperor, and ask General Gao to be kind and let him go, okay?"
"Hey, this..."
When Gao Shangtian heard the people from Guoping mentioning the identity of the prince's master, he no longer dared to stop him forcefully. He hesitated and said reluctantly: "Master Guoping, let me inform you. If the emperor does not see you, there is nothing I can do. You sir Just don’t make things difficult for me anymore, okay?”
The people from Guoping raised their hands and said, "Thank you, Commander Gao."
Gao Shangtian went to see the emperor immediately.
The people from Guoping stood at the door and waited stupidly.
My heart was agitated and I kept beating my drum: "Will Dean Yan's trick work? It's been so long, why hasn't Gao Shangtian come back yet? Doesn't the Emperor want to see me?"
Just as he was feeling melancholy, Gao Shangtian ran out with excitement on his face: "Master Guo, the emperor is waiting to see you in the imperial study."
"real?"
The people of Guoping were overjoyed and sighed: Yan Qi's trick really works!
Gao Shangtian led the way: "Old Master, follow me."
…
Royal study room!
Along the way, there are birds singing, flowers fragrant, rockeries flowing, and a unique cave.
Finally, a lush bamboo house came into view.
The emperor is wearing a gold-lined mandarin jacket and is reading a history book.
"Old minister from Guoping, I would like to pay my respects to the emperor."
As soon as the old master saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
The emperor staggered and hurriedly helped the old master up: "What are you doing, Mr. Guo? I once said that he is the prince's master.
I don't need to kneel down. Never do this again in the future. If you don’t have a memory, don’t come to see me again. "
The people of Guoping sighed with emotion: "I remember it, I remember it."
The emperor chuckled: "Ruian, give me a seat for the elder."
Eunuch Ruian hurriedly brought a chair for Mr. Guo.
The people from Guoping sat down and looked at the pale-faced emperor. He was filled with emotion. His eyes were red and his body was trembling with excitement.
The emperor smiled: "What are you doing, Mr. Guo?"
The Guoping man bit his dry lips: "When the emperor was young, he was as powerful as a dragon and a tiger, and he was so majestic. He was never as weak as he is today."
The emperor shook his head: "Isn't this getting old? When a person gets old, he is like a burned-out candle. He has to wait for one day to count."
The people of Guoping immediately said: "The emperor has lived a long life, how can he die in his old age?"
The emperor laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that the old man would also flatter me. Ahem, cough, cough..."
While speaking, he coughed violently.
Ruian hurriedly brought the soup and medicine over.
The emperor looked at the soup, frowned, and drank it.
The decoction really works.
After drinking it, the coughing stopped immediately.
The emperor rested for a while, let out a sigh of relief, and looked at the people from Guoping: "Master Guoping is here, what do you mean?"
Guoping Humanity said: "I heard that today at the court, Jiang Dongqu, Wei Shun, Gao Linxiang and others jointly sued Xia Ming. The Eight Sages will personally hear the case in three days. This matter... is really Have it?"
The emperor nodded: "It is indeed true. What, do you have any ideas?"
When the people of Guoping heard this, they were overjoyed: "So it's true? That's great. What can I think of it? Of course, I fully support the Eight Wise Kings in interrogating Xia Ming."
The emperor smiled: "Why do you think so?"
Guoping Humanity said: "Xia Ming lost food and grass at a critical moment, causing Hongcheng to lack food and grass. The prince fought to the death and was ultimately defeated. No matter Xia Ming did it intentionally or unintentionally, the loss of food and grass was a serious crime. After ten years, Xia Ming was interrogated. , it’s already an advantage for him.”
"Yeah?"
The emperor looked at the Guoping man, and the sharpness in his eyes disappeared, mixed with a little disappointment: Mr. Guoping is very knowledgeable and is indeed suitable for teaching.
However, even though he is full of knowledge, he is not suitable for officialdom.
Why!
