Chapter 2014 [Shang Xie] There is also a snack for climbing through the window
After a moment of ambiguous silence, the emperor suddenly sighed softly, which seemed to be a sigh of pity. Then he said,
"I completely understand your compassion, General Li. After all, this is your apprentice whom you have taught for many years. I heard that you were about to adopt him as your son—if my wife didn't forbid it. In fact, I am not unreasonable. I sent you there only because I was afraid that the general would be desperate and wanted you, as his master, to persuade him. So, I will send a group of Xuanyiwei to go with you. If the general is willing to return to the capital with you, the ones who will arrest and detain him will be the Xuanyiwei. If the general has any rebellious intentions towards the court, the Xuanyiwei will also be the ones who kill him. All of this has nothing to do with you, General Li. What do you think?"
If they just broke out in a cold sweat, many people now had their hair standing on end.
It was clearly summer, and even though it was raining outside the window, it should only make people feel cool. However, at this moment, the imperial study seemed to have entered the coldest time of winter. A chilly smell silently emanated from the man who was looking at them with his chin drooping, and many people were so cold that their backs went numb.
But this was an irrefutable and thoughtful order. No matter how confused Li Yusheng's mind was at the moment, he could only accept the order in a daze. Chang Sun Chi waved his hand.
"Go ahead."
At this moment he didn't quite understand what the word "go" meant, but when he turned around, a team of black-robed guards standing silently outside the imperial study had already locked their indifferent gazes on him.
They were wearing raincoats and looked like ghosts that only traveled at night in the increasingly dark sky.
No one knows when the emperor arranged the people.
It has been just over an hour since the urgent report was delivered to the palace. How keen a perception and how wise a brain does one need to be able to understand the enemy's purpose in such a short time, take corresponding measures, and even arrange to undermine some of the enemy's strength?
Many ministers, regardless of which side they were from, felt a slight chill in their hearts at this moment.
All of them lowered their heads even more respectfully, and Li Yusheng could only walk out step by step under those death-like gazes.
Then Chang Sun Chi waved his hand as if he was tired.
"Go ahead. Grand Tutor and General Long, please stay for a while."
After a while, only two ministers were left in the imperial study.
Both of them are middle-aged men with gray hair on their temples, but their images, one civil and one military, are still very vivid. General Long is the one who raised doubts at the beginning with full energy.
The two men were not surprised at all that they were left behind by the Emperor. General Long spoke first,
"Your Majesty, I see..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor raised his hand and made a gesture to stop talking. At the same time, he turned his head to look at the screen behind him, and a subtle but genuine smile appeared in his eyes.
Chang Sun Chi stretched out his hand to call the eunuch beside him and said,
"Bring some fruits and tea behind the screen."
The young eunuch followed the emperor every day and was already aware of the future queen's habit of climbing through the window. He was not surprised to hear this, but turned around with a smile and went to do it.
The two old ministers stared at the emperor in surprise, and Chang Sun Chi turned around to meet their gazes and said calmly,
"I'm a little hungry. I'll prepare something to eat after I finish discussing this matter."
General Long was a straightforward man and nodded without any doubt. Only the Grand Tutor looked behind the screen suspiciously.
