Chapter 84 Let go and gamble

Li Yu was very angry.

He slapped the table and scolded him like this, which scared the eunuchs and palace maids all over the body.

Shi Wei's expression was calm and he was not afraid.

He bowed his hands and said lightly: "How dare I negotiate with Your Majesty? I am just fulfilling the duties of a minister to save a loyal and virtuous minister for Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will understand clearly."

Although Shi Wei was actually negotiating terms with Li Yu, on the surface, he could not admit it.

Li Yu's face became increasingly ugly, and an angry white breath was gushing out of his nostrils.

He gritted his teeth secretly, stared at Shi Wei for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "You all go down for me."

With this kind of drink, the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides hurriedly left the hall, for fear of taking a step slower and annoyed the emperor.

In a moment, only the two people were left in the huge Hanfeng Hall.

A high-ranking emperor, and a prisoner.

Shi Wei knew that Li Yu's heart had begun to shake. Otherwise, he would not have held back all the slaves. Doing so would be nothing more than to save his emperor's face.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, how many ministers can there be like Lord Pan who knows that he will anger Your Majesty, but he still dares to give advice to you for his death? It is precisely because of the existence of such loyal ministers as Lord Pan that the Song Kingdom of the Northern Dynasty did not dare to use troops against our Tang Dynasty. If Lord Pan goes, wouldn't it be that the enemy will be happy and the relatives will be hurt? Please think twice."

Shi Wei once again advised him, not because he was so loyal to Nan Tang, but because he knew that only such a high-sounding reason could he lay the platform for Li Yu.

After hearing his advice, Li Yu's angry expression gradually eased.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked coldly: "If I had made up my mind and wanted Pan You to land, what can you do?"

Shi Wei's heart was slightly shocked.

Li Yu's words were obviously the last one.

By this time, he was in a difficult situation. He was not just to save Pan You, but even for himself, he would never give in.

The hall was silent, and a lot of murderous aura was quietly spreading.

Shi Wei could feel the fierce murderous intent, but he was fearless. He raised his head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If Your Majesty insists on killing Lord Pan, then the envoy of Song is afraid that Your Majesty will not seek others to treat him. As for the head of the empress, when will Your Majesty want to take down, but according to Your Majesty's intention is."

Facing the face of raising his hand, he could take his life. The extremely noble and powerful emperor, Shi Wei said something calmly.

Li Yu's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious.

At this moment, in addition to annoyance, he also felt a deep shock in his heart.

This arrogant emperor could not understand no matter what, how could this humble young man at the rank of the ranks have the courage to say such disrespectful words to himself?

"What is this person thinking in his heart? Isn't he really afraid of death..."

In my heart, the puzzled voice echoed endlessly.

Shi Wei, who was at the stairs, had a calm expression, and his expression was unprecedentedly calm.

In fact, his heart is the same as ordinary people, how could he not be afraid of death?

But he knew that in this game of life-threatening game, which side showed timidity, and once the other party saw through it, the losing side would be the one who lost.

In the empty hall, the atmosphere was as heavy as suffocation.

The two of them looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but the anger on Li Yu’s face suddenly disappeared and he actually burst into laughter.

Although Li Yu's laughter was very proud, Shi Wei heard a little weakness from it.

Shi Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that his gambling was the right bet.

As he expected, a poet emperor, on the surface, was so fragile in his heart.

If he really had the spirit of a hero, he would not have wanted to kill Pan You, he would not have believed the rumors and imprisoned himself, nor would he have "fallen" to the point of negotiating terms with him for a mere Song envoy.

From the beginning of this gambling, Li Yu had already put himself on the loser's side.

After laughing, Li Yu's expression became much more kind, and he said, "Shi Aiqing, Pan You once told me that you are a rare talent in my Tang Dynasty. I didn't believe it before. I tried it today and it seems that it is indeed good."

Li Yu found a "stairs" for himself, and a threat of life and death turned into an understatement of "Try it today".

Shi Wei immediately bowed and said humbly: "Your Majesty has been too rewarded. My ministers are talented and knowledgeable, and some of them are only loyal to the country and the emperor."

"Okay, okay, very good, I, the Tang Dynasty, need a loyal minister like you." Li Yu praised Shi Wei for a while, and then summoned the eunuchs to the hall again.

He said loudly: "Transfer my will and immediately release Pan You without acquitition and restore the official position."

The eunuch left with the order, Shi Wei hurriedly expressed his gratitude and bowed: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. I am here to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Yu waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it, there is no need to say anything grateful. If you really appreciate me, hurry up and clean up and go to the inn to see the envoy Song."

"I will not let down Your Majesty's trust and I will give up."

Shi Wei thanked him and left.

When Shi Wei left the hall, Li Yu's kind expression instantly returned to his cold state.

He gritted his teeth secretly and sneered and said, "Shi Wei, how can I tolerate you if you dare to threaten me? For the sake of the Song envoy's illness, I will endure it for a moment. When you cure Song envoy's illness, hum..."

………………………………

As soon as he left the hall, the cold wind came towards him, and Shi Wei couldn't help but shivered.

Only then did he realize that at some point on his back, a cold sweat broke out in his back.

Although he won the confrontation in front of the hall just now, thinking about it, his life was really hanging in his mind and lingering fear.

"Although I forced Li Yu to give in today and saved Pan You and his life, it was because Li Yu asked me for help. Once I cure Song Envoy's illness, it is hard to guarantee that he will not take revenge on me. Well, this matter cannot be counted, and I have to think of other ways to escape."

Shi Wei was planning all the way and rushed to the inn on the east side of the palace in the carriage.

This inn was specially ordered by Li Yu to summon the envoy of Song Dynasty. Its magnificent appearance is no less than any wealthy mansion in Jinling City.

Shi Wei reported his identity, and the guard Song Bing just let him in.

Under the leadership of a Song man, Shi Wei entered the hall and headed all the way to the place where the Song envoy Lu Duosun was staying.

When Shi Wei stepped into the room, he happened to meet a Song man dressed in a military officer.

The moment he saw the military officer, Shi Wei suddenly felt a sense of resemblance, as if he had seen this person there.

"Marquis Cao Yu, this is an imperial physician sent by the South. He said he is here to see our Lord Lu?"

The Marquis Cao Yu looked up and down at Shi Wei, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes. Suddenly, there was a look of surprise on his face. He pointed at him and laughed: "I didn't expect that, I really didn't expect that it would be you."

"You are..." Shi Wei showed suspicion, and when he heard his tone, he seemed to recognize him.

The Cao Yuhou stepped forward and patted Shi Wei on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "My benefactor, don't you remember me?"

When Shi Wei heard him call him "benefactor", he became more and more shocked.

He stared at Cao Yuhou and looked carefully, and quickly searched his memory about this person in his mind.

After a moment, Shi Wei's expression suddenly changed and he said in surprise: "It's you!"
