I was Idle and Cool - Chapter 185

On the way back to the house, Gu Juefei didn’t say a word, and Lu Jinxi didn’t ask any more questions, let alone persuade him.

Ten years of knots, how easy is it to unravel?

The two returned to the house together.

At this time, the sky was dizzy, and another day had passed.

Lu Jinxi asked him, “Are you done?”

Gu Juefei shook his head, sat on the chair, stretched out his hand, squeezed his eyebrows lightly, and said, “Not yet, but we have negotiated a preliminary plan with Ji Heng and Fang Shaoxing. The specifics are up to us. What will this ‘credit chief’ General Xue do? If he turns against me, I will be the first one to get rid of.”

A shallow sentence, but hidden is full of thrilling.

Today’s capital is widely spread about Xue Kuang’s great achievements in hibernating for ten years and trying his best to make the Xiongnu surrender.

The rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!

Lu Jinxi couldn’t help but sigh, for Da Xia, and for the innocent people, he murmured and asked, “Will he rebel?”

“Will do.”

After ten years of humiliation and heavy burdens, when you return, will there be no conspiracy at all? Gu Juefei’s eyes hide an unfathomable brilliance, but the words he can say are so cold and cruel that they are shocking.

“Even if he doesn’t rebel, I will force him to rebel!”

No one knows how much planning he has done to wait for this day, and even Xiao Che doesn’t know how many tricks he has done in secret to wait for this day.

I’m afraid that Xue Kuang himself still doesn’t know…

What a huge trap he fell into, a shocking killing game!

Ten years ago, Xue Kuang escaped with serious injuries and survived the catastrophe. Although he harbored evil intentions, he still won a great reputation all over the world. Although he was slightly better, he was undoubtedly defeated, abandoned by those closest to him and chased him away. out of the house.

No one has won this match.

Now ten years have passed, and he not only wants to win, but also wins beautifully.

Name and power, he, Xue Kuang, can’t even think of it!

Gu Juefei slowly closed his eyes.

Lu Jinxi had all kinds of complexities in her heart. Standing by and watching, she only felt that this was a battle that she could not intervene in.

So she just smiled, walked up and said, “Have you eaten?”

Gu Juefei shook his head.

So she was helpless, and only ordered someone to set the meal, and accompanied him to have dinner with him first, and then persuaded him to rest.

Not long after Gu Juefei fell asleep, someone outside came in with a box.

A foot long, half a foot wide, and half a foot high.

Inside were some bound books, with several tightly wrapped scrolls under them.

Lu Jinxi looked a little puzzled.

Next to the wind chime station, he explained, “It was sent by Mr. Wan himself just now, saying that it was the chess book that the old lady promised to give you in the afternoon, and I sent it to you for you to see.”

Oh, this is it.

Lu Jinxi remembered it for a while, stretched it out into the box, took out a book and flipped it over. The paper was a little old, and it could be seen that it was some years old.

One by one above, it really is a chess sheet.

She put down the book in her hand again, and took out a scroll that was under it, and unfolded it. It was also a chess book, but it was much more complicated than the ones written in the book, and they were all inexplicable and precious.

So helpless.

She was actually quite interested in playing chess, but it was because of the old master’s intentions, so she put the scroll back and said, “Put all these in my room and see it another day.”

“Yes.”

The wind chimes withdrew according to the words, and asked people to move the box full of chess records to Lu Jinxi’s study.

Night has come now.

Lu Jinxi sat alone in the room and read a book for a while, and felt sleepy, so she crawled onto the bed lightly and fell asleep with Gu Juefei, who was already asleep.

The next two days will undoubtedly be turbulent two days.

All kinds of rumors spread in the capital.

I don’t know when it started, all kinds of rumors and rumors gradually fell on Gu Juefei, saying that he was a coveted married woman, and marrying Lu Jinxi was a prostitute and a wife. The important post of a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony.

But at the same time, another rumor is also rampant: It is said that Xue Kuang conquered the Xiongnu without costing the imperial court a soldier and a soldier. In the past ten years, he did not endure the humiliation at all, but he had actually surrendered to the Xiongnu, and had become a traitor with Princess Nalanqu. In order to delay the army, we must conspire to rebel!

In this case, even a fool can feel that under the boiling water of the capital, there are two forces that are biting secretly, you come and I, and fight each other!

The people finally smelled a little uneasy smell.

There are fewer people who dare to go out these days, for fear of causing trouble, and there is no sign of Chinese New Year in the capital.

This kind of stalemate continued until the fourth day of the first day after the end of the three days of the court Zhengyuan Xiumu——

The first DPRK meeting day in the seventeenth year of Qing’an.

On this day, Gu Juefei got up very early, put on the first-class Xianhe court clothes little by little, smoothed every fold of the cuffs and neckline, and entered the palace in a soft sedan chair in the cold wind of winter.

Lu Jinxi watched him disappear outside the door.

Even if he didn’t say much when he left, she could easily guess that there was bound to be a tit-for-tat battle in today’s court!

Swords, lights, swords and shadows are all invisible.

As if everyone knew that this would be an unusual day, none of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty arrived late, and waited outside the Tai Chi Gate early.

The only one who came a little later was Xue Kuang.

After changing out of the heavy armor, he was wearing a unicorn-patterned military uniform.

When the Taiji Gate opened, the two of them each took the lead in civil and military affairs, and they had a tendency to keep pace with each other.

One from the left, one from the right.

No one looked at anyone, and no one said a word to anyone.

When I entered the Golden Palace, I only heard the voice of the **** and spies sing, shouting “The emperor is here”, and everyone knelt down in unison, and the mountain shouted long live.

Xiao Che sat on the dragon chair with the twelve crowns on his head and glanced down.

In addition to Gu Juefei, who was the first on the left, Xue Kuang, who was the first on the right, was also so eye-catching.

On the snowy night three days ago, in this great hall, he heard the news that Xue Kuang had knocked into the gate and entered the invitation. He hurriedly approached Gu Juefei to discuss it, and then summoned a group of confidants before calling Xue Kuang, who had returned from the dead. condition.

For three days in a row, he felt that it was a nightmare.

But today, the source of this nightmare was living under his eyes.

A thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh!

He wished he could get rid of it immediately, but in the eyes of the public and the justice was so clear, how could he dare to take the risk of the world and scold him, Xue Kuangshi, for being a traitor and a traitor without any evidence?

Only forbearance.

With hard fingers, he quietly clenched the cold armrest of the dragon chair, Xiao Che forced himself to suppress the mixed emotions of fear and killing intent.

He first said “All the ministers are flat”, and then he said directly: “The matter of General Xue’s return to the DPRK should have been heard by the ministers in the past few days, so I won’t repeat them. But after all, since the matter is a big deal, I have summoned Gu Aiqing and several cabinet ministers to discuss and formulate a new decree. Before today’s discussion, please ask Gu Aiqing to read the decree to me first.”

“The minister obeys the order.”

Gu Juefei was not surprised by what Xiao Che said.

He walked out according to his words, and the waiting **** walked up directly with a gold-painted lacquer plate and gave him the rolled up Ming Huang imperial decree in the middle.

After years of ups and downs in the court, Gu Juefei has an extraordinary power in every gesture. At this moment, he took up a full sleeve, picked up the imperial decree and unfolded it, with a smile on his face.

No need to look, he knew what was written on the imperial edict.

At this moment, he only glanced down slightly, and then stood in the middle of the court and read out loudly: “Xue Kuang, the general of Wuwei Town, took the order—”

“…”

Xue Kuang raised his head and met Gu Juefei’s gaze raised from the imperial edict, which contained undisguised hostility and coldness.

He is waiting for his order.

Under the heaven, the Son of Heaven is the most respected.

But now the emperor is sitting high above the Ming hall. Gu Juefei is the one who read out the will on behalf of the emperor. It took him three and a half years to climb to this position, and he can stand on the hall with his back straight.

And he is the one who received the decree, so he must bend down and kneel in front of him!

The eyes are like knives, like swords, confronting each other in this moment.

One cold, one strong.

No one was afraid, no one backed down.

At this moment, time seemed to stop in such a tense situation, and all the civil and military people of the dynasty watched this scene with fear, unable to imagine the mood of any one of them.

They used to be the proud sons of the heavens, the two jades of the Xia Dynasty.

They have also married the same woman successively in the past ten years or so.

No one can judge, at this moment, whether the two of them are enemies or friends.

Everyone could only see that after the brief or long-term exchange of sight, Xue Kuang came out, lowered his eyes, lifted his robe, and knelt down, vaguely showing the heroic vigor that he used to fight the rivers and mountains.

The voice that had been away for ten years resounded in the courtroom once again.

“Chen, Xue Kuang, accept the order!”
