Chapter 497: Pedestrians grow like grass, why worry, what fear, why joy(1/2)
The two agreed on the itinerary and will leave soon.
The camera panned obliquely, showing the departing figures of Qin Guiyan and Su Su from near to far, from left to right. The next second, an old man dressed as a courtier walked into the frame from right to left.
"Mr. Xue Ge."
The eunuch in charge bowed slightly. Without saying anything, Xue Yin knew that the emperor was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. He nodded slightly and stepped forward.
Today's Holy Emperor, Emperor Li Zhi of Great Xia is indeed sitting firmly behind the table as he thought.
"Jing'an, you're here." Although he looked old, his hearing was good. He heard the soft footsteps and called out Xue Yin's name without raising his head.
Xue Yin met the emperor as usual. The two sat and stood together, but unexpectedly fell into silence.
After a long time, Li Zhiping stepped back, stretched his arms slightly on the armrests of the dragon chair, and stood up slowly.
"Jing'an, look at me."
His voice was low, with a hint of weakness, but his overlord posture remained intact, and his words were spoken with dignity.
Xue Yin concentrated and raised his head.
"Your Majesty." He opened his mouth and opened and closed his lips several times, but the silence remained.
Li Zhi and Xue Yin looked at each other, their majestic and majestic manners giving rise to a little fatigue.
He said: "Today, the court ordered your little daughter Xue Yuyuan to marry and make a marriage. Can you blame me?"
Xue Yin's old body suddenly trembled, and he lowered his head bitterly: "How dare I, Wei Chen."
Li Zhi laughed "haha" twice and asked again:
"In that case, what do you think about the prince's proposal for marriage?"
Xue Yin's hands underneath him shook even more violently. After a while, he said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, three generations of the Xue family have served as ministers, and they will be loyal to you for generations to come. You will never have two hearts."
Li Zhi looked at him deeply, his dark and turbid eyes full of self-deprecation.
A flash of gray and white suddenly flashed across the screen, spreading out like ink, introducing a memory, which was exactly what Li Zhi said was "today's court".
"Dear dear friends, if there is something to do, you will start to act, but if there is nothing to do, you will retreat from the court——"
"Father!"
A voice came out more and more, almost drowning out the last voice of Emperor Li Zhi, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense and fell into dead silence.
Li Zhi's eyes were dim, looking at the prince Li Zhe standing proudly under the jade steps, and said slowly: "What's important for the prince?"
Li Zhe put on a leisurely smile and bowed his hands.
"My son has admired the little girl from Xue Ge's hometown for a long time, and I sincerely ask my father to grant me a decree to marry her."
Xue Yin, who was standing at the front of the courtiers' queue, was shaken. He felt that the eyes of his colleagues all over the court were looking at him, like rays on his back, and he was sweating coldly.
Li Zhi's face suddenly darkened. After a while, he showed a faint smile and said in a calm voice:
"The little girl of the Xue family is knowledgeable and courteous. She has won my heart. Not long ago, she made a secret agreement with Mr. Ge to be my adopted daughter."
Li Zhe's handsome face suddenly became slightly distorted.
"It's a time when the barbarians are causing trouble, and war is about to happen." Li Zhi said indifferently, "pass on the decree, and make Xue Yu, the daughter of the Xue family, Princess Chunping, and go to the north to make peace with the barbarian king Lannu, forge friendship between the two countries, and promote the majesty of Great Xia
, Promoting harmony and happiness among the people."
Xue Yin's pupils shrank suddenly and he felt heavy in his heart, but the eunuch beside him had read the imperial edict loudly, so he had to accept the edict silently and thank him.
Li Zhe stared at the emperor on the stage, reading a sense of victory in his old eyes. He smiled and praised a few words of "Father is wise" and returned to the courtiers.
The lion and the eagle completed a round of power confrontation in this grand palace. The biological father and son were as incompatible as water and fire. The surface of the huge palace was as quiet as the dead sea, but the undercurrent was turbulent inside.
At the end of the reminiscence, Li Zhi and Xue Yin were still standing opposite each other in the Imperial Study Room, but the on-site and online audiences were not as calm as the two men appeared on the surface, and started talking one after another.
[The confrontation just now was awesome!]
[woc was shocked by Liu Zhe, he is so powerful and his acting skills are so strong!]
[The ancient costume looks quite suitable for these two people]
[Li Zhi originally looked quite heroic]
[Yes, the company CEO who was also played in the first round seems to be working with Qin Jue]
[I didn’t expect that the emperor’s aura would be so strong]
[The plot is so straightforward, is it because it’s not long enough?]
[Am I the only one who doesn’t understand? I don’t understand what these palace warriors think]
[What kind of palace fight is this? This is considered a political conspiracy]
[Have you noticed that the emperor looks bad? It’s obvious that the father is getting old, and the son can’t wait to take his place. Xinyue’s request for marriage is all nonsense. This is forcing Xue Ge to take sides!]
[The emperor is also ruthless. If I ask you to provoke me, I will directly send Xue Yu out to get married. Let’s see what else you can say]
[This...it seems that Mr. Xue Ge loves this girl very much. It is so heartbreaking for the emperor to do this]
[I think both father and son are not normal. My son is provocative in class, and I insist on overpowering him. I feel that I have to prove that I have power, which is a bit crazy]
[Aren’t all emperors like this?
[I will stand with Li Zhe this time and bring down this emperor]
[Second opinion, it’s boring to get married easily.]
[laughing like crazy, talking as if Li Zhe must be a good emperor]
[Am I the only one who is very happy to watch this plot? I feel so happy when I think of Xue Yuan playing Xue Yu]
[Well, the character is innocent...]
【I know, but it’s still cool】
The focus of the barrage gradually deviated, but the conversation between Li Zhi and Xue Yin continued in the screen.
The old Emperor of Great Xia was seriously ill and knew that his time was short, but which person in power could face the passing of power and remain indifferent?
He is paranoid, morbid, and has even lost some of the pride he once had as a king. It seems that there is a voice in the dark telling him: Facing this only son, you must guard against death. If you leave any flaws, he will be severely punished by him.
Take a bite of meat.
Xue Yin, a loyal minister of three generations in the Xue family, only had two sons in his life. Seventeen years ago, he finally got a daughter. He regarded Xue Yu as the apple of his eye. This time, he was impatient. When he saw Li Zhe's sharp eyes, he became angry.
Burn——
But it was so difficult for the emperor to admit his mistake.
Li Zhi laughed solemnly: "Jing'an, I have known you since childhood, and it has been more than forty years."
As he spoke, he turned around and said with emotion, "It's a pity that time is not forgiving."
"The emperor is the real dragon emperor, surrounded by auspiciousness..."

Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand: "There is such a rift between you and me."
Xue Yin was silent for a long time and sighed.
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body." He said sincerely.
In addition to being monarchs and ministers, the two of them are also good friends. In recent years, disputes between father and son in the royal family have continued, and Xue Yin was involved in the situation. From the perspective of a minister, he was resentful because of the marriage, but he was also happy to have successfully protected himself. Later, he was afraid that he was a friend.
I couldn't bear to watch my long-time friend become increasingly weak and exhausted, and my mood was extremely complicated and painful.
Xue Yin couldn't help but think of that swallow. With him around, the emperor could at least smile sincerely.
"Jing'an." Li Zhi did not respond to his concern. He just called his name and said meaningfully, "Although the Barbarian King Lannu admires Da Xia Jiao'e, he has never met her so far."
Xue Yin understood the hint and immediately raised his eyelids.
Li Zhi still didn't turn around, he only said softly, as if to himself:
"What all mortals want is a stable life. If you give up this glory and find a place close to mountains and rivers to live in seclusion, it would not be a bad thing."
Xue Yin's breathing quickened and he bowed heavily to Li Zhi.
"That's what the emperor said." He said with a trembling voice.
"You can go ahead." Li Zhi raised his hand tiredly, "It's the time of summer, and I don't know if the nest under the eaves of the palace will be home to swallows this year."
"I would like to share the emperor's worries, so I will go find the swallow." Xue Yin showed joy and responded quickly.
"Let's go! If a spring swallow comes here and sends it all the way, it will be fun to travel far away..."
As he spoke, Li Zhi turned around, met Xue Yin's excited and grateful eyes, and smiled tiredly for a moment: "This is my promise."
As if echoing what he said, the clear bird calls became weaker and louder, and the volume became louder and louder, until the scene faded, a hand gently picked the leaves, and the "chirping" of the birds stopped at this time.
The camera zoomed out, and Qin Guiyan stroked the leaves, put it to his lips and played a light tune, making Su Su next to her purse her lips and smile.
The whistle sounded all the way, and the two walked to the deep suburbs. They saw a courtyard not far away, surrounded by bamboo forests and towering trees. When they got closer, their eyes were full of green.

Qin Guiyan stopped blowing the whistle, blew the blades on his fingertips, and watched it drift away into the wind.
