Qi Tai confirmed his guess from the palace maid Yao Ji, asked in detail, and thought there would be no mistake before leaving Jiming Temple.
When the next morning, Qi Tai waited outside Donghua Gate early, and when he arrived at the imperial city, he went in.
Officials from the advanced imperial city were tidying up their clothes outside Fengtian Gate.
At this time, the eunuch Wu Zhong appeared in the crowd to remind officials of the time.
As usual, Qi Tai exchanged a few greetings with Wu Zhong, and asked Wu Zhong for help, saying that he had secret matters and wanted to meet him alone, so he asked Wu Zhong to tell the emperor.
Wu Zhong is still very capable in doing things!After the morning court, Wu Zhong followed him out of Fengtian Gate and asked Qi Tai to meet him.
At this time, when Huang Zicheng saw the two of them muttering and walking north again, he turned around twice in a row.But Qi Tai didn't care about him anymore.
Qi Tai followed the eunuch and walked in, entered the Ganqing Gate, walked east through a slanting corridor, and then arrived at the Donghunting Pavilion.There are very few foreign ministers here, and Qi Tai is nervous and does not look at him or say a word.
He walked into the East Warehouse and saw the partition.Wu Zhong whispered: The emperor is inside.
My minister Qi Tai, please come to the emperor!Qi Tai gave a big gift to the partition.Sure enough, the emperor's voice came from inside: Come in.
Qi Tai got up from the ground and bowed to the north of the partition. He did not dare to look up and look around.
The room here is much smaller than the palace, and he can easily see the emperor sitting on a mahogany chair.
Wu Zhong said, what is the most important secret matter in Qi?The emperor's voice was still the same, with a higher tone and a quick speech.
Qi Tai didn't look back, but guessed that the eunuch Wu Zhong might still be behind the partition. He immediately said: "I went to Jiming Temple to burn incense a few days ago, and I accidentally heard something.After hearing this, I went to check it out...
After he said this, he would never mention Wu Zhong’s disclosure, which would not be considered selling Wu Zhong…but it doesn’t matter whether or not Yao Ji was sold. Can she be more important than the eunuchs who are close servants around the emperor?
oh?The emperor was indeed interested and immediately made a sound, which was intended to urge him.
Qi Tai paused and continued: There was a palace maid named Yao Ji in the palace who was ordained to Jiming Temple.For this matter, the empress contacted Huang Zicheng, the minister of the Taichang Temple, the minister of the court...
Before Qi Tai could speak, he heard a clang sound, and the emperor pressed his palm heavily on the teacup!
Take what you said seriously?The emperor's voice said.
Qi Tai said: I am guaranteed by my head and I will never dare to deceive the emperor and the emperor.
At this point, things are already very clear.
Some of the internal story that Qi Tai and the palace maid Yao Ji did not see with their own eyes. Qi Tai could fill in the blanks in his mind: the queen asked Huang Zicheng for help first, and Huang Zicheng took the opportunity to persuade the priest, and explained the truth in the teacher's tone, such as the enemy in front of him; the priest finally listened to the teacher's advice and gave up the desire for sensuality... Then the priest's attitude was relaxed, so the queen could boldly get the palace maid Yao Ji out of the palace and be a nun!
Among them, the key part that the emperor didn’t know about before was: the queen had found Huang Zicheng!
Otherwise, the emperor would not have beaten hard just now, and he would not have been indignant.
When Qi Tai heard the sound of the teacup, he shut up tactfully. Anyway, the emperor understood, so there was no need to talk about this.
The king and his minister were silent for a long time, and the emperor let out a long sigh, as if he was trying to calm down: Since this matter has been done, let's stop for the time being.
Qi Tai was not disappointed after hearing this.Although the emperor did not say that he would settle the score with Huang Zicheng immediately, this account had already come to the emperor's heart.
Qi Tai calmly weighed the pros and cons, thinking that this matter could no longer be delayed, so he could only give up!
He immediately said: I am brave enough to make a statement, sage, don’t be deceived by Huang Zicheng.In recent years, Huang Zicheng has formed a clique in the court for personal gain, and his gangsters are spread all over the government and the country. Now even the emperor's harem is to cling to!Huang Zicheng used the identity of the emperor to use the trust of the emperor and spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality...
Are you telling this secretly today to fight against Huang Zicheng?The emperor suddenly asked coldly.
When Qi Tai heard this, his whole body trembled!The coolness of autumn could not stop sweating, and sweat was quickly dripping from his forehead.
Suddenly, he thought of the loneliness of studying hard for ten years, and the future of the whole family and the clan were all on him alone... The sweat did not make him feel hot, but in an instant his whole body was filled with coldness and fear.
But do you regret it?
Qi Tai denied regret deep in his heart.
This matter is too big and very urgent. The court will immediately determine the candidate for the front line!
He had no choice but to take risks and abandon the doctrine of the mean in the books of sages.
This is not a matter of loyalty or justice, but it concerns the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Can he bear the life of Qi Tai, one by one?
What's more, if Yàn rebellion really becomes a problem, his Qi Tai's name is written in the manifesto, and the whole family will escape?
Thirty-six strategies are about it, and the two powers are the least likely to be affected!
Qi Tai knelt in front of the emperor with a pounce, knocking his head on the floor: Master, I am not selfless, and I don’t want to fight anyone!It's just that it's important. Please don't listen to the deceitful letter from Huang Zicheng alone.The State of Cao cannot use it!If the emperor is worried that a military general with a lower status will be selected as a noble general, even Guo Ying is better than Li Jinglong!
snort!The emperor was in a bad mood. Who wouldn’t say that, all the civil and military officials in the court?Who is not as selfless as you, full of public and loyalty?
Qi Tai's face was pressed against the floor, his whole body trembled. Suddenly he raised his head and said: If the emperor thinks that I am unfaithful and pretend to be public and private, just one sentence will make me die!I will give you advice from death and kill me, so I won’t need Li Jinglong!
You dare to force me?The emperor said angrily.
Qi Tai said: The emperor succeeds the emperor to the emperor, who can force the emperor to do so?The emperor does not need to listen to anyone's intentions. The emperor decides the country's major policies alone!If the death of the minister, let the emperor obey his own wishes and make decisions, and the minister will die without regrets!My life and death are just a word from the Holy Lord.
The emperor was so angry that his sleeves were trembling. He pointed at Qi Tai and then put them back. After a while, he couldn't speak.
At this time, the emperor suddenly sneered: Shangshu Qi, if you want to make a name for your life, I can do what you wish, then wouldn’t I bear the name of a foolish tyrant?
Qi Tai knelt down for a long time, and was speechless.
I thought to myself: Today, I cherish my reputation too much, like letting go of the sons of King Yàn. If it weren't for the reputation, why bother with the life and death of the prince Yàn? After I was released, I was afraid of others' words and pushed them all to Yousi. For example, when dealing with King Yàn, I wish I could tear him apart, but I was unwilling to bear the name of killing uncle. I just wanted the soldiers to understand the holy heart and kill the king Yàn formation... In fact, in Qi Tai's view, the Holy Lord was enterprising and wanted to do great things, how could he do all good things?
All meat eaters are like tigers and wolves. They fight for wealth and honor to the death. How can they do it without doing something cruel and ruthless?
After a while, the emperor was in a calm mood and said: I have my own opinions, you can go down.
Qi Tai kowtowed and said: I thank you for your kindness and leave.Long live my emperor!
He walked out of the East Warehouse and the eunuch Wu Zhong sent him out of the inner court.When he walked to the slanting corridor, Wu Zhong's face was still pale, and he seemed to be scared just now.
After being silent for a while, Wu Zhong might have remembered that Qi Tai did not betray him, and finally said: Don’t be afraid of Shangshu Qi, the emperor was just angry for a moment, you were angry!But the emperor should forgive you. The emperor is kind, let alone the Secretary of Qi is still a minister of life. How could it be so easy to fall?
Qi Tai gradually calmed down and said: I know, thank you Eunuch Wu today.
Wu Zhong said with a sad face: Thank you what are we doing? Our family didn't help Qi Shangshu. If we knew that you came today to make the emperor angry, our family would not pass on the message for you...
Those who helped Wu have made great contributions to the country and the country.Qi Tai pondered, although this matter was not going well, it might not be successful.
Qi Tai thought to himself: Today is not a foolish person, his mind is extremely intelligent, and Taizu also likes him.With his intelligence today, he should understand some joints. It is unlikely that Li Jinglong wants to be in charge.
Qi Tai walked out of the Ganqing Gate, and Wu Zhong said goodbye and went back.Qi Tai passed by outside the hall of the front dynasty and was about to go to the Ministry of War.
Just as he reached the imperial road, he suddenly encountered Huang Zicheng.It seems that Huang Zicheng has been waiting here for a long time and happened to appear on Qi Tai's must-pass road.
Huang Zicheng looked very unhappy and asked: What did you say when Qibutang met the emperor alone?
Nothing said.Qi Tai said calmly.
Huang Zicheng didn't believe it at all. While following Qi Tai, he complained that Old Fu Wu has always regarded Qibutang as his own...
When Qi Tai heard these words, he felt even more angry. It was because Huang Zicheng was devoted to forming a clique that today's predicament was caused!
Qi Tai suppressed his anger and said coldly, you and I are both saints and people from the Ming Dynasty, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are their own people.
Oh!Huang Zicheng sneered, Qibutang, you are cruel!I was blind and once regarded you as a friend.
Qi Tai also sneered, shook his head without saying a word.He thought to himself: Whoever treats his colleagues as good friends is a stupid pig!
After a while, Huang Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief and said flatteringly: I won’t recommend Li Jinglong; Qibutang told me what he had whispered to the emperor?
Qi Tai immediately stood still and said: Huang Siqing really doesn’t recommend Li Jinglong?
Let's make a move each one, tell me, I'll follow you.Huang Zicheng looked at him and sighed earnestly, "This is what it takes to be an official!"If you don’t compromise, you won’t be able to make any money in the end.
Qi Tai was very moved, but when he thought of saying bad things about Huang Zicheng in front of the emperor, if he really told the truth, would Huang Zicheng not be angry and embarrassed?
He sighed in his heart: Damn, wouldn't it be great if you said you would give in to each other earlier... But if Qi Tai hadn't threatened him, could Huang Zicheng give in?
Qi Tai said: I didn't say anything, I just advised the emperor not to use Li Jinglong as the commander.
Huang Zicheng said coldly: If you only talk about this, Qibutang must carry me on his back and run to the inner court to meet him alone?
When the next morning, Qi Tai waited outside Donghua Gate early, and when he arrived at the imperial city, he went in.
Officials from the advanced imperial city were tidying up their clothes outside Fengtian Gate.
At this time, the eunuch Wu Zhong appeared in the crowd to remind officials of the time.
