The cabinet scholar immediately stood up and left. After he walked out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Fortunately, I didn't do anything bad, otherwise..."
Just thinking about it makes him scared.
He knew the emperor, and it was absolutely impossible that he let him go just because that person said he was not the emperor. He had already investigated it.
He was very glad that he did not do anything, otherwise, he might not be able to walk out of the imperial study now.
Not long after he left, the painter came over.
The painter drew a person based on the characteristics provided by the city lord. Emperor Dewu ordered someone to take it to him for inspection. After looking at it again and again, the painter still could not remember who this person was.
Just at this moment, Yuchi Xi came back pulling Yuchi Feng. No one knew where they had gone to play, and their faces looked gloomy.
Emperor Dewu took a handkerchief and wiped the dust off Yuchixi's face. "What have you been doing?"
"They've all turned into little cats."
"Hey, we're going to the capital to walk the dog and play with the cat!"
Yuchi Xi raised her little face and let Emperor Dewu wipe the dust off her face. Yuchi Feng looked on eagerly from the side, "Father, what about me?"
"My face is dirty too."
Emperor Dewu: ...
He threw a handkerchief on his face perfunctorily, "Wipe it yourself."
Yuchi Feng's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly grabbed a handkerchief to wipe his face.
The emperor gave him a handkerchief. The emperor must like him very much!
Emperor Dewu helped Yuchi Xi wipe her, picked her up, and placed her on his lap. Yuchi Feng looked at him eagerly, "Father, I..."
Emperor Dewu bent down and picked him up and placed him on his lap, "Alright, I'll hold you."
Yuchi Feng was immediately happy, "Hehe, I knew that father would never forget me."
Emperor Dewu: ...I just think you are too noisy.
Yuchi Xi glanced at the table in front of her, "Huh?" She looked carefully. Why does the person in the portrait seem so familiar?
"Xi'er, what's wrong?" Emperor Dewu followed her gaze and saw the portrait on the table. "Xi'er, does it look familiar?"
"Yes, Daddy, this man looks very much like...Mr. Men Qianzong."
The image of General Men Qian emerged in Yuchi Xi's mind, and he was ninety percent similar to this portrait.
"General Men Qian?" Emperor Dewu was a little surprised.
Men Qianzong is an official, not a big one, but he also has some power.
But, can such a small official make these city lords do those things?
Emperor Dewu thought it was ridiculous, but he also felt that it was not completely impossible.
"Go and bring the commander."
Emperor Dewu looked at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch took the order and went out.
Yuchi Xi looked at Emperor Dewu, "Father, could it be that this person is in contact with this city lord?"
"Well, he said that the person who instructed him was this person." Emperor Dewu nodded.
Yuchi Feng was confused. What were his father and sister talking about?
Why doesn't he understand?
He scratched his head, blinked his eyes, and silently reached out to take the pastries on the table. Well, secretly, he would eat one!
Emperor Dewu reached out and patted the back of his hand, "Have you washed your hands?"
Yuchi Feng blew on the back of his hand aggrievedly, "Father, it hurts!"
“I haven’t washed my hands yet!”
"You just came back from outside the palace. How can you eat without washing your hands?"
Emperor Dewu looked at him with a fierce face and said, "Go wash your hands first."
"Oh." Yuchi Feng obediently jumped off his legs and went to the copper basin beside him to wash his hands.
Yuchixi remembered that she hadn't washed her hands either, so she quickly said, "Daddy, I'll go wash my hands too."
Emperor Dewu held her hand and said, "Wait."
He looked at the people waiting nearby and said, "Go get the copper basin and wash the little princess' hands."
"Yes." When the person next to him walked over, Yuchi Feng had just finished washing his hands. The person poured out the water in the copper basin, filled it with some clean water, and handed it to Yuchi Xi.
Yuchi Feng, who was sitting on Emperor Dewu’s lap: ???
He watched with his own eyes as Emperor Dewu helped Yuchi Xi roll up her sleeves, took her little hands and placed them in the copper basin, gently scrubbing them.
Yuchi Feng: ???
So you can actually wash your hands like this? He wants to do it this way next time!
He also wanted his father to help him wash his hands!
Perhaps because his gaze was too intense, Emperor Dewu tilted his head to glance at him. "It's not that I won't help you, but you've already washed your hands. There's no need to wash them again."
Yuchi Feng: If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have washed it himself.
Yuchi Xi smiled softly, picked up a piece of cake and placed it in front of Yuchi Feng, "Eighth brother, you eat it!"
She knew that Xiao Ba loved to eat these the most.
Now her hands are clean and she can help Xiao Ba get it.
Yuchi Feng bit it with a big mouthful, his face full of happy smile.
Emperor Dewu: ...An eyesore, this guy is such an eyesore!!
Xier's first piece of cake was actually given to this kid instead of him!
Yuchi Xi picked up the second piece of cake and handed it to Emperor Dewu's lips, "Daddy, try it too. It's delicious!"
"Eighth brother didn't eat much outside just now, so he's hungry. Xier gave it to him first."
"Daddy won't be angry, right?"
Yuchi Xi's face was full of innocence.
Emperor Dewu: How can he be angry about this?
Yuchi Feng was about to say that he had eaten outside, but just as he opened his mouth, Yuchi Xi stuffed another piece of cake into his mouth, "This pastry is not bad, Eighth Brother, try it."
Stop talking, Xiaoba!
As soon as Yuchi Feng was interrupted, he forgot what he was going to say and happily ate the cakes.
The three were eating when General Men Qian was brought in.
Before coming in, he was still thinking, the emperor asked him to come to the imperial study, but because he did a good job, he wanted to promote his official position?
Thinking of this, he straightened his appearance as he walked, and upon entering the imperial study, he knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, I, the chief minister, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
Emperor Dewu said calmly, "Stand up!"
Men Qianzong was flattered. Did the emperor let him stand?
The emperor actually didn't let him kneel!
Oh my god, the emperor must want to promote him!
"It's him, it's him!!"
As soon as the city lord saw General Men Qian, he immediately screamed and pointed at him.
It’s him!
But how could he be just a small rank of Gate Captain? In their correspondence, he clearly said that he was a cabinet scholar!
When General Men Qian turned his head and saw him, a look of panic flashed across his face.
How could it be him!
How could he come here?!
Why is he coming here instead of being the lord of his city?
"No, no, no, I don't know him. Your Majesty, please understand!"
Men Qianzong fell to his knees with a thud, big drops of sweat falling to the ground from his forehead, and he was shaking with fear all over.
The city lord screamed, "Don't you know me? You told me when the relief money would leave the city gates and when it would arrive!"
"I still have the letter there!"
Don't know him?
hehe!
funny!
Who was the person he was corresponding with?
Who was the person he met before? !
Is it a ghost!
