The deputy eunuch's heart began to loosen a little.
Bei Qiu looked at the deputy **** with pitiful eyes, and her charming eyes were filled with pleading.
Finally, the deputy **** nodded: "Okay, I will help you, but life or death depends on your life, madam."
Bei Qiu kowtowed heavily, thanked the deputy superintendent a lot, praised and flattered her, and immediately decided to bring Bei Qiu to Beijing to meet the saint tomorrow.
the next day.
Bei Qiu changed into a set of plain clothes instead of white mourning clothes.
All the way into the palace, the people around seemed a little sleepy, completely absent-minded, Bei Qiu knew that this incident must have made people in the palace panic.
The emperor received the deputy **** and Bei Qiu in the imperial study.
Bei Qiu knelt on the ground with a thud, and first kowtowed twice. After the deputy **** and the emperor explained their intentions, the emperor obviously couldn't control his anger. Looking at the kneeling person in front of him, he seemed to be thinking about it. how to kill.
"Bold! Who gave you the courage to come before me to beg for mercy!" The emperor slammed the table.
The eunuchs and deputy eunuchs who were waiting on the side immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to look up.
But Bei Qiu raised her head and looked directly at the gray-headed emperor, "Caomin doesn't want to plead, Caomin knows that the emperor has always loved the people like a son, and Caomin wants to tell the emperor what he knows."
The emperor was taken aback, staring at Bei Qiu's face for a long time without saying a word, as if he realized that he was wrong for a long time.
His face darkened, "If you don't want to intercede, when will you say that I am the king of a country, and whoever I want to die must die!"
Bei Qiu looked at the deputy supervisor of Dali Temple beside him, and said: "The grass people only want to say this to the emperor."
The emperor sneered and waved his hand. The eunuchs and maids who were waiting on the side retreated, leaving only one personal **** standing next to the emperor. The deputy eunuch's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. Seeing the emperor like this, he quickly pushed him out .
At this time, only the emperor, the personal eunuch, and Bei Qiu were left in the imperial study.
"Lie, if what you say makes me change my mind, I might spare your life!" The emperor said coldly, looking at Bei Qiu who was kneeling on the ground.
"Caomin don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the emperor can listen to it. The emperor ordered that in that remote mountain village, all the people who participated in this time were all executed, which caused people's livelihood to resent. Various rumors spread among the people, saying that Your Majesty is cruel and merciless, killing innocent people indiscriminately!" Bei Qiu said unceremoniously.
"Bold!" The **** squeezed his throat and shouted angrily.
"You are not afraid of me, I will kill you!" The emperor's eyes had already revealed killing intent.
But Bei Qiu raised her head and looked at the emperor for a moment, "The emperor is Renjun, and he is the gospel of Baixin. How could he kill the grassroots? The emperor ordered the supervisor of Dali Temple to investigate the source of the rumors, but because he was not good at things, , was beheaded, all of this was just done by treacherous ministers, the emperor was only temporarily fooled by treacherous ministers."
The emperor was shocked, frowned slightly, and said in a much calmer tone: "How can I be fooled by others!"
"The emperor has been in power for more than two years, and all believers live and work in peace and contentment. The treacherous ministers conspired with the harem, wanting to inhumane the emperor and the whole country, wanting to rise up and plot rebellion, the emperor mistakenly thought that this person was a loyal minister, and listened to what he said. .”
The emperor frowned, and glanced at the **** beside him, who immediately left the room.
"Tell me what happens next," the emperor continued.
The emperor frowned even tighter, "I am the Son of Heaven, I have already opened my golden mouth, how can I take it back?!"
"Your Majesty is wise, and he took back Jinkou for the sake of all the trust in the whole country. Only then can he reflect his wisdom, martial arts, benevolence and righteousness." Bei Qiu kowtowed her head on the ground and continued, "Nowadays, the Emperor is also worried about internal and external troubles. Can't sleep all day and all night? The emperor is so sad, isn't it because of the trust of the whole country? How can it be like the folks say, because of such absurd remarks?"
The emperor frowned.
Finally, with a smile on his face, he looked at Bei Qiu and said, "There is a lack of wonderful people like you by my side. Why don't you stay in the palace and advise me?" The emperor threw out an olive branch.
Bei Qiu was taken aback, obviously forgetting this.
Bei Qiu kowtowed and said: "How could Caomin think of this, Caomin's husband has repeatedly told Caomin that the emperor is a benevolent and righteous person."
"Who is your husband?"
"Zuo Wenwen, former General Zuo." Bei Qiu said without hesitation at this time.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were unpredictable, he stood up suddenly, looked at Bei Qiu who was kneeling on the ground, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and murmured: "Zuo Wenwen..."
After all, let someone arrange for Bei Qiu to live in the palace.
Many court ladies greeted Bei Qiu back and forth. The emperor's personal **** also changed his mind towards Bei Qiu, nodding and bowing.
For three days in a row.
Bei Qiu was imprisoned in the deep palace.
But earth-shaking changes have taken place outside. The emperor executed a courtier and carried all the most popular and favored concubines on his back.
It is said that the emperor's house has no emotion, and what he said is too true.
fourth day.
The emperor unexpectedly set up a sumptuous dinner in Bei Qiu's palace, all the palace people stayed outside, and only the emperor and Bei Qiu were inside.
The emperor's expression obviously improved a lot, and there was no worry on his face. The emperor added a piece of vegetables to Bei Qiu, and asked softly, "How do you want me to reward you?"
Bei Qiu smiled lightly, without any fear, and ate the emperor's food in one bite, "The grass people just want to stay away from this bustling place with my husband, and be a farmer's woman in the mountains, so that I can live my life peacefully."
The emperor's dark eyes narrowed, and then he also smiled: "How can he be worthy of you?"
"He is the lifelong love of the grassroots, and he will be fulfilled by the emperor." Bei Qiu got up and wanted to kneel down to the emperor.
But the emperor hugged her in his arms, Bei Qiu was stiff all over, but the emperor's embrace became tighter and tighter, after a long time, he let go of Bei Qiu, and said: "He let you stay in Nancheng for eight years, let you suffer Seriously injured and almost killed, you love him too?"
"Yes." Bei Qiu nodded.
"I will fulfill you, how about I help you try him?" The emperor was extra tender, and hooked Bei Qiu's sideburns behind his ears.
Bei Qiu was taken aback and nodded.
"Now, who do you think I should kill?" The emperor suddenly changed the subject and asked.
Bei Qiudao didn't expect the emperor to ask her, and said with a smile, "Kong Shiyu."
