Chapter 181 This knife is so ruthless
"This knife is so cruel, we can't escape."
Qin Hu's face turned dark. He knew he couldn't escape, but he felt that Huo Shiju was also responsible for this matter. Why didn't he inform him when he arrived last night?
There is a handover issue here. The previous Minister Zuo resigned during the day yesterday. During the day, Qin Hu also met this person named Yin Shishi.
Master Yinshi was transferred to the Eastern Capital as the governor of Luoyang.
Qin Hu did make some omissions in his work. He should have met with Huo Shiju and Xiao Nan and held a small meeting yesterday, but he was very busy yesterday and ignored it.
This leaves a handle for others.
As soon as Yu Shiji came in, he saw Qin Hu standing in the room blankly with a chicken-feather letter in his hand, and his face suddenly darkened: "Oh my, there really is a six hundred-mile express letter. I said Qin Shilang, are you
Are you kidding me? Last night I was on a six-hundred-mile rush, but you still have to wait till now."
"Then if that's the case, why don't we hurry up and walk slowly for three hundred miles and it's over? Why tire out several horses? If this delays things, are you responsible or am I?"
"Huo Shiju should be responsible." Qin Hu said subconsciously.
Huo Shiju, who was about fifty years old and had a mouse beard and a goatee, immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Two adults, I am wronged. I went to Mr. Qin's house yesterday. Mr. Qin was marrying a concubine at home. He was holding a lantern.
It was a colorful ceremony, and the door was packed with guests, but the guard at the door wouldn't let me in, so there was nothing I could do."
"Oh my, Minister Qin, this Minister of War is no joke. You are not doing your job and marrying a concubine at home for fun. You are doing something wrong. I know you are too young to do serious things."
Yu Shiji came over arrogantly and snatched the letter from Qin Hu's hand.
"What should I do? You are the Emperor's favorite. Even though I am your boss, I can't deal with you. Let me go and ask the Emperor. We hope there is nothing wrong with this letter. If it is really delayed,
It’s all over, Mr. Qin, I’ve been implicated by you.”
"You——" Qin Hu was speechless.
As soon as Yu Shiji walked away, Qin Hu immediately ran out. He rode on the dark clouds and chased the moon over in the morning, and ran straight to the palace.
Now Qin Hu is not only worried about himself, but also worried about Zhang Xutuo. He also wants to know what is written in Liubaili Express, which Yu Shiji didn't say just now.
But the emperor must have received an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter in the morning, which mentioned this matter, so Yu Shiji went to the Ministry of Transportation to investigate the crime.
Yu Shiji could enter the inner courtyard of the palace at will because he was holding a chicken-feather letter.
But ordinary ministers cannot enter. Although the Ministry of War is in the palace, the left and right sides are separated along the central axis. He cannot go to Renshou Palace, let alone see the emperor, unless he is a relative of the emperor.
But he happened to be the Prince Consort.
In addition, the imperial army guarding the door was Xiaoguo Army, so he actually went in. After entering, he went directly to Renshou Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.
Qin Hu had no other choice now. He was fast, so he rushed to see the emperor before Yu Shiji, and told the emperor his reasons to see what should be done about this matter.
Yang Shou happened to have dinner with Xiao Meiniang. He didn't plan to meet him at first, but Xiao Meiniang said that was not good. After all, he was also a hero and our consort. Maybe there was something important. After she said this, Yang Shou let him go.
He came in.
As soon as Qin Hu came in, he told the story of the incident with a sad face. Yang Shou immediately became angry: "You are so brave. Do you know how much delay you have caused? Zhang Xutuo was ambushed by Dou Jiande in Pingyuan County.
I almost died. I am calling for help urgently. You have been delayed for several hours. Are you crazy?"
What could Qin Hu say? What he was most worried about now was Zhang Xutuo.
"Your Majesty, how is Brother Zhang?" Qin Hu asked nervously.
"Fortunately, he's not dead!" Yang Shou said angrily: "But Dou Jiande, a cunning man, is very cunning. Zhang Xutuo's army has been seriously reduced in number and is now under siege. And Dou Jiande has annexed Zhang Jincheng's old army. What do you think?
What should we do?”
"If you hadn't delayed it for so long, how could things have come to this point?"
Seeing Yang Shou's unkind expression, Xiao Meiniang felt a little worried and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please don't get so angry that you might as well let him perform meritorious service and see what he thinks."
Yang Shou scolded: "I heard that you married a concubine at home last night. You can do it. It's shameless. You are so in need of women. You don't care about national affairs. You bastard."
"I, I was wrong." Qin Hu cried when he was scolded: "Your Majesty, the Queen, Wei Chen, Wei Chen still has five thousand elite soldiers in his hands, which can be used as a hundred thousand. Wei Chen asked me to let my general Lei
Yongji, Pei Yuanqing, and Su Dingfang went north overnight to rescue Zhang Xutuo. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"I'm just not worried anymore."
"Then Chen went to the rescue personally."
Yang Shou's face looked a little better: "Well, you are getting married soon, so don't go on an expedition yet. But you made such a big mistake this time. If it cannot be undone, how do you want me to explain it to the ministers? You'd better
Please pray to God to bless your men to perform meritorious deeds, otherwise, I will not be able to protect you."
"Yes, I thank you Lord for your kindness."
At this time, Meng Qi came in and said that Yu Shiji was here and was outside asking for an audience. Yang Shou looked at Xiao Meiniang and said, "Maybe he is here to complain. I can't accept this petition yet."
Xiao Meiniang said with a face: "Then let him go back. It's all this little beast's fault. I just said this person can't be used. Qin Hu, do you know your guilt? The emperor tried his best to protect you."
ah."
"Qin Hu knows the crime, Qin Hu knows the crime."
Xiao Meiniang said angrily: "Go away!"
"Yes, Wei Chen resigns, Wei Chen resigns."
Qin Hu wiped away his tears as soon as he walked out the door. When he raised his face, he suddenly looked arrogant and proud.
When he came out of Renshou Palace, he happened to see Meng Qi talking to Yu Shiji. He probably meant to tell him that the emperor was busy and let him go back first.
But Yu Shiji just refused to leave and repeatedly asked Meng Qi to inform him again, saying that he really had urgent matters to see him.
At this time, Yu Shiji suddenly looked up and saw Qin Hu walking out of the gate of Renshou Palace with a step that was like disowning relatives.
Suddenly the smile disappeared and his face changed drastically.
