Chapter 261: Xibohou's Memorial
Du Yuanxun's eyes were filled with tears, and he pursed his lips, not knowing what to say!
He has a thousand words to say, but he really doesn't know what to say!
Seeing this, Li Qing smiled, reached out and took the two bottles of pills, stuffed them into Du Yuanxuan's hands, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go."
"promise!"
Du Yuanxun could only growl, kneel down and bow to Li Qing, then stand up and stride out of the imperial kitchen.
"Commander Du, what does His Majesty say?"
Seeing Du Yuanxun coming out, Wang Youzhi asked with a chuckle.
Du Yuanxian immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty is as gracious and powerful as a mountain. He encouraged me and also asked about the defense of the royal city during this period."
Wang Youzhi nodded and said, "That's right, that's right.
After saying that, he smiled and said, "I'll be in right away. Commander, please do as you please."
"I'll take this opportunity to say goodbye."
Du Yuanxuan smiled, waved his hand, and strode forward.
Wang Youzhi turned around and entered the dining hall.
As long as the Human Emperor reigns, nature remains the same.
I dealt with official documents in the morning, took a short nap at noon, and reviewed the military equipment in the afternoon.
In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.
Yesterday, Jiang Yang escorted Li Qing back and then settled the soldiers.
Today, I can enter the palace to meet His Majesty.
In the evening, in the Queen's Palace where Jiang Qian was, Li Qing was sitting at the same table with Jiang Qian, Jiang Yang, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong with a smile on his face.
"Today is a family dinner, so you don't have to be so restrained."
Li Qing, who had taken off his crown and was now wearing a golden brocade robe, sat on the main seat and said with a smile to Jiang Yang, who was only half sitting below.
When Jiang Yang was in Donglu before, although he had some awe of Li Qing, the Human Emperor, it was not that great.
But now that he had arrived in Chaoge, for some reason, he felt extremely afraid of his brother-in-law, the king, Li Qing!
Where is the trace of the Jiang family's eldest son, the Demon-Suppressing General?
Therefore, he was restless, waiting for Li Qing's lecture at any time.
Hearing Li Qing say this, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I am not restrained..."
Having said that, his appearance remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Jiang Qian smiled immediately, picked up a dish and placed it in front of Jiang Yang, saying, "Dayang, just treat this place as your hometown in Donglu. There's no need to be restrained."
Jiang Yang laughed dryly again, nodded, reluctantly sat down, and lowered his head to eat the dishes.
Jiang Qian then smiled and looked at Li Qing and said, "It's only been a few years since we last met, and Dayang has grown so much."
Li Qing nodded and said, "Yes, when I first married you, he was only twelve years old, and now he is thirty.
Jiang Yang blushed when he heard this. Why does it sound like thirty is already old? My king, you are only thirty-six. When you married my sister, you were only eighteen.
Jiang Qian smiled for a moment and said, "Yes, back then, Your Majesty was so majestic and majestic, standing taller than anyone else. I only took one look at him and was completely captivated by him. I felt that marrying him was truly a blessing in my life."
Li Qing burst out laughing and said, "Why, I am old now? Do you despise my heroic spirit?"
Jiang Qian blushed and said quickly, "That's not what I meant. The king is now even less immature than before! The emperor's majesty overwhelms the world, and I am only happy, not disgusted."
Li Qing laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I was just joking with you. Come on, come on, eat!"
Only then did they have dinner again.
With Li Qing's teasing, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and Jiang Yang gradually relaxed. While eating, he talked about some strange stories in Donglu when asked by Li Qing.
Of course, Li Qing also asked about some things about Master Ran Deng, but they were all trivial matters. Jiang Yang didn't know anything about other matters.
The family dinner that made Jiang Yang very uncomfortable finally ended after an hour.
Emperor Li Qing hugged the queen and returned to the back hall.
Jiang Yang was taken out by his two eldest nephews.
Jiang Yang didn't feel refreshed until he left the Queen's Palace. Then he went out to eat, drink and play with Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, laughing and joking.
Only with Jiang Qian could Li Qing truly rest. After all, Jiang Qian was a mortal woman, and it was enough for them to be happy together once.
The second day.
The Emperor’s morning court.
"If you have something to report, please report it immediately! If not, please leave the court!"
Wang Youzhi's voice resounded throughout the Wanshou Hall.
As his voice reached him, it was Bigan who took the first step forward and shouted, "Your Majesty! Yesterday, I received a letter from Xiqi, which said that Xibo Hou Jichang was on his way to Chaoge!"
"What?"
"Ji Chang? What's he doing here? It's not tribute time yet. Besides, even if there was tribute, he wouldn't be needed, right?"
"The Marquis of Xibo has come to Chaoge? Why did he, a powerful lord in his area, come here without your Majesty's summons?"
As soon as Bigan said this, there was a noisy sound in the entire court.
After all, King Ji Chang of Xibo was a great prince who commanded 200 princes. He would not easily leave his fiefdom. Now he came to Chaoge inexplicably, which was really puzzling.
When Li Qing heard this, he frowned and thought to himself, "What is he doing in Chaoge?"
In the Investiture of the Gods, he came to Chaoge because he was summoned by King Zhou, who wanted to kill him.
But now it was Li Qing's turn. Naturally, he would not summon the four marquises for no reason. Moreover, this year was not the period for the once-in-ten-year general meeting, so they were needed to report on the people's livelihood in their fiefdoms.
So when Ji Chang came this time, Li Qing was not sure what he meant.
"Did he come here to die?"
After thinking for a while, Li Qing sneered and asked calmly, "Why is he here?"
Bigan reached out and pulled out a memorial from his sleeve. He bowed and handed it to Li Qing, saying, "It was late last night, so I didn't disturb Your Majesty. This memorial is the letter from Xibohou Jichang."
"Show it up."
Li Qing waved his hand.
Wang Youzhi hurried down, took the memorial, and then placed it on Li Qing's desk.
Li Qing raised his hand, took it and opened it.
"Your servant, Duke Jichang of Xibo:
Greetings to Your Majesty.
"I have heard from Xiqi that Your Majesty has neglected state affairs, indulged in debauchery, and arbitrarily murdered ministers, demonstrating his tyranny. I am deeply concerned! The Great Shang Dynasty has been established for 5,631 years. Successive kings have diligently governed the country, either by ensuring its people's well-being or by expanding its territory. Therefore, since its founding, the Great Shang Dynasty has enjoyed prosperity and peace... But now, Your Majesty has lost his mind and is ignorant of the Way of Heaven. I am deeply concerned and have therefore left Xiqi without permission to come to Chaoge to meet Your Majesty in person and offer my admonitions! I also implore Your Majesty to execute the evil Concubine Daji..."
Looking at the memorial, Li Qing had a blank expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.
"As expected, I'm not going to kill you, but you're going to die! Otherwise, how can Xiqi hold the righteous position? If I don't kill you, you'll curse me. If I kill you, your son Jifa will take advantage of this opportunity to raise an army! Good, good!"
Li Qing slowly put down the memorial, but sneered in his heart and muttered to himself.
