C172 His Temperament Had Changed Greatly
The king was stunned again. He asked curiously, "Why did I force you?"
Xiao Yun said, "Still not considered forcing? The credit of the peasants was so great, even if they did not care about these contributions, it's hard work, isn't it? Just the matter of the antidote to the locust plague had spent the decades of savings of the Xiao family! Originally, he thought that there would be some benefits after this. What happened in the end? The peasants were framed, and His Majesty signed it. The commoner was arrested. What was that place? Court of Censors! Anyone who went in would have to suffer a hundred death strikes, even if they were made of iron and copper. He would be turned into meat paste! His Majesty wants the peasants to die!"
" Nonsense, Zhen... "
His Majesty subconsciously wanted to say that he had made a mark, but after thinking about it, he couldn't mention such a thing to others.
Xiao Yun continued, "It is not nonsense! If it was not for Leng Guzhu rushing over in time, this stick would have landed on the commoner. Pei Zhongren's mind was completely blank. He only knew to listen to His Majesty's orders. He does not care about anything else, even if he knows that the commoner had done meritorious deeds. This damn bastard!"
With his scolding, the king changed his view of Pei Zhongren.
He had thought that Pei Zhongren had some problems with his loyalty, but now it seemed that he did not need to worry about it.
However, he was still a little silly. The mark he had made was so obvious, and he could not understand it?
However, it didn't matter anymore. In the face of loyalty, being foolish was something that could be tolerated.
Just as he was thinking, His Majesty was suddenly shocked.
His back was instantly drenched in cold sweat!
He thought, if it wasn't for Leng Xiaohan's timely arrival, if these 100 killing blow sticks really hit Xiao Yun, wouldn't he really be beaten to death?!
This Xiao Yun had to be taught a lesson.
But he really couldn't die!
He had calculated everything, but he still made a mistake.
He was truly scared for a while.
It was precisely because of this that the anger in his heart once again lessened by quite a bit.
It seemed like this child had really been frightened. Now that he had gone mad, it was normal.
Xiao Yun saw that His Majesty did not speak, so he continued, "These one hundred killing rods were finally dodged. It was not easy for them to settle down, but what happened in the end? In a few days, I heard that the grandfather of the commoner was dismissed!"
"Yes, I would like to resign."
His Majesty corrected him.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yun retorted in an extremely treacherous manner.
"You brat!"
"If it wasn't for His Majesty's permission, would Xiao Huai'en have requested to resign? Leaving the high officials and rich salary aside, would he have wanted to go home? If he had a great-grandson, it would be understandable. It would be a good reason for him to accept the happiness of his subordinates. But did he have one? The commoner didn't even have time to give birth to him. "
" Tsk! "
His Majesty frowned and said, "How can you directly call your elders by their names?"
He was concerned about this, but he forgot to ask Xiao Yun that "bullshit" was talking about him.
"Humph!"
Xiao Yun twitched his mouth and said, "He is stupid. The other officials all know how to cherish their feathers. They all know how to pretend to be stupid. He did not do anything wrong. As long as he pretends to be stupid, His Majesty will not be able to make him resign."
"Humph."
It was His Majesty's turn to snort coldly this time.
In fact, Xiao Yun was right.
As the saying went, "If the king wants an official to die, the official must die." That was only on the surface. If one wanted to truly control a hundred officials, they had to. Not to mention making mistakes, Xiao Huai'en did not even have a single stain on his reputation. It was really difficult to dismiss him.
Xiao Yun continued, "So the peasants have finally figured it out. Money is the most practical! Buying a big house, setting up a field, and buying some beautiful slaves. Wouldn't that be quick?"
"This is the pursuit? Is it worthy of your Saint Grade name?"
His Majesty couldn't help but complain.
Xiao Yun said, "Has His Majesty ever seen a Saint Grade who entered the Great Prison every two to three days like a commoner? This commoner had only been out of the Imperial Prison for a few days, and now they still recognize him!"
"If you don't cause trouble, I will lock you up? Forget it, forget it. Men, bring this madman away for Zhen!"
His Majesty waved his hand and a few guards immediately rushed up and grabbed Xiao Yun, dragging him down.
Xiao Yun kept howling over there, no different from a madman.
But at this time, those guards were in a bit of trouble.
They had caught him.
He had also received orders from His Majesty to be brought down.
However, His Majesty did not say where to take Xiao Yun!
What should they do?
After some hesitation, they turned to look at the eunuch.
The eunuch sighed, walked over and whispered, "It's still the same place as before, His Majesty is also familiar with it."
Strike the Water Palace.
Xiao Yun once again came to this familiar palace. Many of the decorations inside were still the same as before, but they looked very comfortable and comfortable.
On the other hand, His Majesty was really angered to the extreme.
He gasped for air and cursed at the "stinking brat" for a long time.
As he cursed, he suddenly laughed again.
Even though it was only for a short period of time, it was caught by the Empress.
"Your Majesty, this kid from the Xiao family is quite interesting."
"How is it interesting? He can anger someone to death!"
"Hur hur." The Empress covered her mouth and laughed, saying: "It's been a long time since His Majesty has smiled like this. When he was in the park, even though His Majesty had a smile, it was missing a smile, but now his smile comes from the bottom of his heart"
"Is that so?"
The Emperor was stunned for a moment, then reached out to touch his cheek, and then said: "That was also because I was angered by this brat!"
The Empress couldn't help but laugh again.
Beside her, Noble Consort Qi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this servant often heard people talk about this Xiao Yun. I heard that he is an outstanding figure and has the qualifications to be a saint. Many people could not help but admire him when they mentioned him. But now, why did he seem more like a rogue? He's even causing trouble like a madman. "
" Sigh, who knows. "
His Majesty sighed and sighed.
Suddenly, he was stunned again.
As the saying goes, the speaker is not interested in the listener.
His Majesty could not help but ponder.
That's right.
Xiao Yun wasn't like this normally.
Although he was fooling around, there was always something in his heart. He would follow his own rules and conduct himself in the world. He also had the demeanor of a big family. Although he was arrogant in terms of aura, in terms of ability... However, he was humble and courteous. There was a limit to what he did, and there was a law to what he did.
In some places, it was like the words and actions of a saint.
However, today, he was indeed very different from the past.
In His Majesty's opinion, Xiao Yun was actually similar to his usual self. In any case, he had changed his ways to make him angry.
But in the eyes of others, Xiao Yun was very different.
His Majesty also noticed this point.
After thinking about it, he turned to look at the Empress with an apologetic expression.
The Empress gently smiled and said: "During this period of time, we've been busy, so it's rare for His Majesty to find time to come out. Accompany us sisters to relax, but we sisters can't be too sensible... We've delayed His Majesty's state affairs. I saw that the boy clearly wanted to say something but hesitated, probably because we were present. There are some things that he couldn't say and that's why he acted so recklessly, right? The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the name of Xiao Yun and Saint Xiao had probably spread to other countries. How could he be such a crazy and invisible person? I'm afraid he's already waiting for His Majesty."
His Majesty sighed and nodded at her. Then, he stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
Looking at the eunuch, the eunuch immediately said, "It's still the same old place. Send him to the Water Strike Palace."
"Yes... Hmph! Zhen wants to see what tricks he is going to pull today. If he really goes crazy, he will definitely let him know Zhen's methods! "
As he walked, he muttered, "Do you really think Zhen is unwilling to kill you?"
When he reached the Water Strike Palace, His Majesty's attitude changed again.
Because he imagined a possibility. It was that Xiao Yun was hiding something big in his heart. It was a very, very big matter that even the Empress and Noble Consort Qi could not listen to. Even if he escaped from prison, he still had to tell them about the matter of charging straight into the Imperial Palace.
Then... Wouldn't that be a huge matter?!
Taking a deep breath, His Majesty slowly walked into the Palace of Water, dismissed the crowd, and went to see Xiao Yun alone.
