Chapter 150
King's Order?
What's the bullshit king's order?!
His Majesty has been lying for several days and has been unable to speak. How could he write and hold the heavy jade seal of the Kingdom?
Everyone was about to argue with him, but they saw a blazing fire outside the palace gate, and black armored soldiers holding torches were densely packed, almost occupying the entire long street from the inn to the Ji Palace!
The night wind blew the torches. Under the clear extinction of the fire, most of the soldiers' faces could not be seen clearly. However, the solemn aura could feel it from a distance, as if there was no one to follow. The child sitting on the short couch and looking at this side indifferently, they would immediately come to kill him.
There are always some humiliating moments in life that people want to forget but cannot forget.
For example, now, these extremely tired ministers of the Shangguo Kingdom knew that Emperor Ji did not leave the king's order, but they still wanted to find a way for this young master Bai - because he and the entire Chu State behind him wanted it.
Everyone present knew what kind of king he wanted.
Now that Emperor Ji has just passed away, and His Highness the Crown Prince has not yet succeeded to the throne. It is logical that he is not qualified to issue such a royal order to reward the princes. If he wants to come up with such a royal order, unless...
Everyone's eyes turned to Xibo, who was standing in front.
No other ministers dared to do such things except Xibo, the imperial sect of the three dynasties.
Especially those who have used Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with Xibo to provoke their feelings and gradually marginalize Xibo, so that they can't even touch any political affairs, and have gained power.
Now Xi Bo has returned to the political center of Daqi with the help of His Royal Highness. They are just when they are about to clamp their tails and behave like a human being. If they lose the handle, they will definitely be used to die. On the contrary, if Ruo Xi Bo does this, they will be able to live better in the future when the new king takes office.
The torch was covered with oil that helped to burn, and under the flames, it "cracked" and exploded.
The thick black smoke choked people and wanted to cry. No one of them ignored him. He stared at Bai Jingyuan with expressionless expression for a long time before turning back to the palace without saying a word.
It was late at night, and the mourning hall in the palace had been set up. The hall was empty. There were no filial sons and grandsons watching the night, and no musicians playing mourning music. Except for a lonely lamp, only the old waiter beside Emperor Ji knelt on the edge of the coffin and napped.
Seeing him come in, the waiter looked up, as if he knew why he came, and pointed to the direction of the side palace without saying a word.
Xi Bo sighed, looked at the coffin for a long time, and then took heavy steps and pushed open the door of the side hall.
His Highness's personal servant was guarding the door. When he saw the door open, he was alert for a moment and found that it was Xi Bo, so he immediately retreated into the shadow behind the door.
When the prince who was crying out on the couch in the side hall, Xi Bo's anger was even stronger than that of the prince!
His Royal Highness, rubbed his eyes that had not been closed for a long time, sat up. He was about to get angry when he saw that it was Xi Bo, and he thought there was something else, so he was hurrying to stay at the bed to put on his shoes, but he heard Xi Bo suppress his voice and shout at him: "Is this time when I lie on the couch and sleep?!"
In the middle of the night, I finally slept for a while, but I was called up and didn't say anything. I was yelled at first, and His Royal Highness was also very aggrieved:
"Xi Bo, I haven't had a good sleep for a long time! When tomorrow, there will be various memorial ceremonies, so I will definitely not be able to sleep. If I don't take advantage of the fact that no one has slept for a while..."
"Do you think there is no one? The palace is full of eyeliners!"
His Highness the Crown Prince also wants to argue: "The others are going back to sleep!"
Emperor Ji has many children, all of them are biological children. Everyone else has gone back to sleep. Why can't he?
"They don't need to inherit the throne! Of course, they are not afraid of being scolded by others and being unfilial! They are not afraid of being scolded by others and not following etiquette! You are different from them! Do you still understand this after living for more than thirty years?!"
His Royal Highness was so aggrieved that his eyes were red. He thought to himself, you are always the teacher of your father, not the teacher of the Gu. Gu doesn’t want to be like your father, and you will be taught to follow the rules and will never be happy in your life!
He was the eldest son of the legitimate son. After his birth, he wanted to follow Jiyi and become the next Emperor Ji. When he was young, Xibo was not old. However, Emperor Ji did not ask him to continue to teach the prince on the grounds that Xibo was busy with political affairs. No one understood better what this meant than the prince.
Now that Daji has become like this, can anyone blame him after he is so tired that he is almost dying of sleep?
Who would care about such small things except for the ministers who claim to be the pillars of the country?
He didn't want to argue with Xi Bo, so he changed the topic: "Why did Xi Bo return halfway? But what else should I give me some advice?"
Xi Bo could understand his thoughts clearly, and he didn't let go of it, and told the story of the young master Bai blocking the door and asking for His Majesty's last fate at the end of his life.
"Where is the father who stays..."
Halfway through the words, the Crown Prince understood what Xi Bo meant, his face turned red, and he was stammering his neck and was unwilling to agree.
He has not ascended the throne yet. If he falsely passes on his deceased father's will and grants titles to the princes, it will leave stains and will be unable to raise his head in front of these ministers who follow the rules and regulations for the rest of his life!
"Oh, there is such a Taoist order. My father said it before. It seems that it was placed in my father's study. It was too sad and dizzy. I couldn't see clearly at night. Why don't you find it out by sir!"
But he swung his hands and kicked his legs, intending to kick Xi Bo without touching his hands.
Xi Bo has not held any position now. Recently, he has been busy with Daji. It is because Emperor Ji is seriously ill. Because of his past relationship, he will not do such things that will harm his reputation throughout his life.
"Oh, since your highness is dizzy, then I will go and ask the other highnesses! Maybe among them, there are clear ears and clear eyes, and they also know where His Majesty's King's Order is placed."
The prince gritted his teeth secretly, bent down to put on his shoes, thinking that everything would be fine after he succeeded to the throne, but in the end he followed Xi Bo obediently and went to Emperor Ji's study.
The study room is on the other side of the hall. When you go out, there is a long corridor. There is no light in the corridor, only the clear moonlight like water hanging down like gauze.
In late spring, it was still very cold at night. The two of them wore thick wooden bottoms and walked along the corridor one by one. When they passed by the hall, the old waiter looked up and looked like he saw nothing. He lowered his head and took a nap again, as if in his dream, there was everything he nostalgic for.
In the past few months, Emperor Ji has been unable to take charge of the director and has always been the prince here. He knows better than anyone else whether there is a royal order here.
The personal servant lit up the oil lamp and guarded the door obediently. Although this kind of thing is not a secret matter, out of the self-esteem of the descendants of the Daji family, His Royal Highness still did not want someone to serve him.
He personally ground the ink and found a piece of plain silk writing Wang Ling, picked up the pen and looked at Xibo, his eyes were heavy.
Xi Bo didn't care about it. While dictating, he stared at him and wrote it. After he finished writing, he brought him the imperial seal.
The prince followed in humiliation and then threw his sleeves away.
Perhaps his sleepiness was completely gone.
As usual, Xi Bo didn't care about it, and held the king's order and returned to the palace gate.
This is exactly the same as when he left.
"Your Majesty has really prepared the king's order for a long time, but I have forgotten it. The young master will take the king's order back to Chu State!"
Xi Bo endured the humiliation and handed over the king's order with his own hands.
However, after Bai Jingyuan ordered people to take the king's order that he had finally obtained, he just glanced at it and asked the servant to hand him a torch, which burned him!
Xi Bo was furious! Before he could speak, he heard the old man beside Gongzi Bai say:
"A villain like the King of Lu who is unfaithful to His Majesty and unfilial to his father can be granted the title of marquis. Our son is unparalleled in benevolence and praises from all over the world. How can he be equal to such a villain's title?!"
The fisherman smiled, but the meaning in his words was that no one could misunderstand it.
Xi Bo only looked at Bai Jingyuan.
He found that even if he tried hard to raise his evaluation of this young man, he was still too low!
Now that he showed his fangs, he realized how difficult it was to deal with him.
There were more and more soldiers outside the palace gate, and it seemed that even the vicinity of his house was surrounded by people. Xi Bo sneered and entered the palace again. After a while, he took out a new king's order, and he was the highest-level "public" under the king!
