Text Chapter 1448 Old Man

"Where is Pojun?"

In the courtyard of King Kou, Kou Lingxu, who was sitting in the pavilion drinking and waiting for news, was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's going on? Where is Gao Guan?"

Old Tang knew what he meant and replied, "I don't know what happened inside, but Gao Guan left and returned empty-handed."

After thinking for a while with the wine glass attached to his lips, Kou Lingxu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "How could I forget that old guy? The phrase 'selling my daughter for fame' might suit the appetite of that stubborn old donkey. Well, it seems that the boy and my grandson are not the same. The girl is not destined to be with him. With Pojun, the boy won't be in danger of his life. We have made this trip in vain and it is also convenient. Hehe, I am afraid that Ying Jiuguang will feel uncomfortable with this breath. "

Old Tang asked: "Going back home?"

Putting down the wine glass, Kou Lingxu walked out of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, "Let's go tomorrow. When Pojun comes, we leave immediately, which makes people think too much. Let's stay here tonight."

Outside the Xingchen Palace, Xiahou Chengyu came slowly and bumped into Gao Guan who was returning. The latter greeted him and then came to the Xingchen Palace one after another.

Qingzhu's original intention was to deal with Miao Yi's affairs and then go back to see Zhan Ruyi to give an explanation and appease the newcomer. Knowing that Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi had a grudge, he just regarded it as a favor.

Unexpectedly, Xiahou Chengyu came running over. Qingzhu glanced at Gao Guan who was following behind, temporarily suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and asked Xiahou Chengyu first, "Is there something wrong with the Queen?"

After bowing, Xiahou Chengyu asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty knows about Niu Youde's outrageous behavior at Your Majesty's wedding ceremony?"

It turned out that he came for this matter. Qingzhu hummed, "I know, what do you think, Chengyu?"

Xiahou Chengyu said with a little indignation, "He scolded the Ying family for selling their daughters for glory, and clearly scolded me as well. I ask Your Majesty to hand over that lunatic to me for handling!"

Qingzhu: "I will take care of this matter myself." The two things became one, and he looked at Gao Guan and asked, "Gao Guan, did Niu Youde plead guilty?"

Hearing this, Xiahou Chengyu's eyebrows moved slightly, knowing that she was late. In fact, she deliberately delayed for a while, knowing that Gao Guan was sent out by Qingzhu probably for Niu Youde's matter, so she deliberately delayed for a while. The reason was naturally because Xiahou Tuo wanted her to save Miao Yi, but she hated him in her heart and didn't want to save him. But he dared not not save her, so he deliberately delayed it. If he failed to save her, he could give an explanation to Xiahou Tuo. It was not that his granddaughter did not want to save her, but that His Majesty acted too quickly. His granddaughter did not have time to save her.

Gao Guan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."

No? Xiahou Chengyu was stunned.

Qingzhu narrowed his eyes suddenly, "Why not? Is the information Shangguan got wrong, or is there something else behind Niu Youde's behavior?"

Shangguan Qing naturally knew that his information was correct, and looked at Gao Guan to see how Gao Guan would explain it.

Gao Guan: "I want to arrest someone, but I didn't expect the commander of the Left Guard, Pojun, to come in. Pojun said that Niu Youde's so-called 'selling his daughter for glory' was what he ordered Niu Youde to say!"

"..." This knife was well-timed, leaving Qingzhu speechless. He didn't expect Pojun to play this trick. Then his face gradually darkened, bang! He suddenly slammed the table and stood up, "Does Pojun think I'm a fool? What does he want to do, is he going to rebel?"

Other things are unclear, but he is clear about one thing, although Pojun has a foul mouth, he is not the kind of person who would teach his subordinates to blaspheme the majesty of heaven. For a dignified commander of the Left Guard to teach his subordinates to say such things in public, he must be mentally ill to not have such a sense of propriety. It is clear that he is deliberately obstructing his will.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Shangguan Qing quickly comforted him. He knew very well that if he really wanted to accuse Pojun of rebellion, it would make things worse. Po Jun has been in charge of the Left Guard for so many years, and he has many confidants in the Left Guard. If things get out of hand, something bad will happen. He quickly tried to smooth things over, winked at Gao Guan secretly, and said, "Maybe there is another hidden story behind this. Your Majesty might as well listen to what Right Envoy Gao has to say."

Qing Zhu also knew that he was a little too harsh when he said this to his confidant, so he suppressed his anger and snorted coldly, "Tell me, what is the specific situation?"

"I went to the General Town of Yuyuan to find Niu Youde, and was asking him in person whether he had said "selling girls for glory" in public, when Po Jun suddenly came in and said, "I asked him to say it, and Right Envoy Gao, if you have any opinions, please ask me..." Gao Guan described the situation at the time of the incident in detail, without adding or subtracting a point, which can be said to be seeking truth from facts.

As he listened, Qing Zhu's face gradually darkened. Xiahou Chengyu's face also became quite ugly. That old man actually declared that she was not worthy of being the mother of the country. One day, he must make that old man die ugly!

Shangguan Qing glanced at the face of the Lord of Qing and secretly complained. Did Gao Guan not see his expression or was he pretending to be confused? I asked you to smooth things over, why did you say it so honestly?

Sure enough, the Lord of Qing was completely angry. As soon as Gao Guan finished his report, he waved his sleeves and swept away a pile of jade tablets on the table. He pointed to the gate of the Star Palace and said angrily: "Pojun, old man, how dare you deceive me? I swear to kill you!"

Shangguan Qing and Gao Guan were speechless. If these words were directed at others, they would believe them. However, His Majesty's similar words to Pojun were almost calloused in their ears. Every time he was angry with Pojun, similar words would come out, but in the end, His Majesty never really killed him once. Every time he raised it high and finally put it down gently, repeatedly.

Even Xiahou Chengyu rolled his eyes and looked down on the Lord of Qing, thinking, why don't you really kill him once for me to see!

However, what was unexpected was that someone outside suddenly responded loudly: "Your Majesty, why do you want to kill me? I come to apologize!"

"..." Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then flicked his hand that was frozen in the air, "Get in here!"

A man strode in from outside the hall. He was dressed in black robes, lean and thin, and on the small side. He could be someone other than Po Jun.

"See Your Majesty!" Po Jun stood still and saluted.

"You!" Master Qing waved his hand and pointed at Gao Guan, "Retell the report just now and tell it to Commander Zuo."

"Yes!" Gao Guan accepted the order and immediately told Po Jun what happened in the main town.

Just as I finished talking here, there was another report outside. Sima Wentian, the supervisory envoy from the left, asked for an audience.

"Get in!" Lord Qing shouted.

Sima Wentian who walked in was frightened and worried. He didn't know what happened to him to make His Majesty so angry. As a result, when I saw the situation at the scene, I immediately understood that it had nothing to do with me.

Qingzhu was so angry that he had no time to pay attention to Sima Wentian and glared at Po Jun, "I heard you all, did you say anything wrong?"

Po Jun said: "Youshi Gao is good at torture, and his skill in taking down confessions is top-notch. Every sentence is true, and there is no falsehood."

Lord Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Guan has already stated that he is on an errand under my orders, why did you stop him?"

Po Jun: "I did not stop you. I have already made it very clear. What Niu Youde said at the wedding scene was what I ordered him to say. No matter how high the right envoy took me away, I will never resist or complain." ”

"Old man, how dare you lie to me in front of me!" Qingzhu was furious. He grabbed a finely carved jade dragon from the table and smashed it out angrily.

Boom! With a sound, everyone in the hall was stunned.

I saw Po Jun standing there steadily, not moving or evading, and let Yulongzhen hit his head. It can be said that his head was broken and bleeding on the spot. Obviously, he did not use any magic to resist, with his flesh and blood body He endured the blow forcefully, and blood dripped down the bridge of his nose.

Xiahou Chengyu was secretly happy that this old man would still be alive today.

Qingzhu, who was so angry that he couldn't hold it back, was startled for a moment. When he saw Po Jun standing there with blood on his face, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared by seven points, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you know you are wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Po Jun was very adamant. He cupped his hands and said, "I know I was wrong. I should not have ordered my subordinates to speak arrogant words. Please forgive me! However, I have a piece of unfaithful advice that is stuck in my throat. I am unhappy if I don't spit it out!" He waved his hand and pointed at Xiahou. Chengyu said loudly: "This woman is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others. She does all the things in the harem and is unworthy of her mother. I would like to ask you to depose Xiahou Chengyu from the position of empress and demote her back to Xiahou's family to support her in her old age!"

Pension? How can I support myself when I am still young? Xiahou Chengyu's face suddenly turned pale with anger, and his delicate body trembled with anger. He shouted sharply: "How dare you, the old thief of Pojun, be so presumptuous? Do you still have the distinction between superior and inferior?"

Po Jun ignored her at all and continued loudly: "Your Majesty has no objection to enjoying your beauty. However, your Majesty is so powerful that his achievements are all over the world. Why do you need to rely on some women to create a balance? The brothers of the Guards fought bloody battles for your Majesty, but... It's not worth the hard work of a woman to take off her clothes. Doesn't it make the Guards brothers feel chilling! Zhan Ruyi is a Guards general, but His Majesty has adopted her as a concubine to strike a balance. How do the Guards brothers view His Majesty's actions? , if the Guards all follow Your Majesty's example and take subordinates as concubines as long as they see their beauty, then in the long run, the guards on the left and right will become a place to entertain people with their beauty. Where is the morale of the army, and how can they fight for Your Majesty in the world? There are so many women in the harem that your majesty can't use up, so why not use the huge expenses on those women to reward the soldiers! I ask your majesty to go back immediately, abolish the title of Tianfei, and abolish 90% of the concubines in the harem. To rectify His Majesty’s reputation!”

Qingzhu was already so angry that his face turned blue and he could not speak.

Gao Guan said in a deep voice: "Po Jun, if you dare to blaspheme the power of Heaven again, do you know what will happen!"

Po Jun immediately waved his hand and pointed at him, "And you, Gaoguan, everyone knows that you obey His Majesty and do whatever He asks. You do things ruthlessly and never consider the consequences. Are you helping His Majesty? Your Majesty, I will obey you in everything." Those who care about you may not be true loyal ministers! And all of you..." waved his hand and pointed at Shangguan Qing and Sima Wentian, "I only know how to respectfully say some pleasant things to Your Majesty, but no one dares to tell the truth. The world is not at peace yet. Why does it encourage His Majesty's arrogance? Niu Youde is just telling the truth. If Ying Jiuguang doesn't sell his daughter for glory, then what is Niu Youde's crime? The day your Majesty doesn't have even one person who dares to tell the truth, the world will be in danger..."

"That's enough!" Master Qing interrupted angrily, waved his hand and pointed outside, shouting angrily: "Get out! Old man, get out of here!"

"The advice is unpleasant to my ears. I hope your majesty will listen to it. I'm going to leave!" Po Jun bowed his hands fiercely without any intention of going back on his words. He flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away.

Simply arrogant! Qingzhu's teeth were itching with hatred, his cheeks were twitching, and he had the urge to rush forward and kill Po Jun directly. (To be continued.)
