The commander of the guards had already told the King of Qin that Ma Gonggong had been caught, and it is said that Ma Gonggong neither resisted nor committed suicide at that time, and was directly captured, and now he is locked up in an abandoned courtyard in the harem!

The father and son arrived in front of the gate of the remote courtyard, there were guards guarding the door, pushing the door in, and there were also a few guards standing in the courtyard, and when they saw King Qin, they saluted one after another!

This courtyard has not been repaired for a long time, it is a little dilapidated, and there is a room with candlelight reflected in the window, so King Qin walked over, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, only to feel the musty smell. The house was also quite messy, with debris piled up everywhere and a thick layer of dust fell on it.

On the floor in the middle, there was a person sitting cross-legged, facing outward, it was Ma Gonggong, his hair was a little messy, because he was sealed and cultivated, and he didn't move.

After the two entered the house, although the musty smell in the house was strong, Qu Nian still closed the door smoothly.

King Qin stepped forward at this time and unlocked Gonggong Ma's dumb hole.

Ma Gonggong looked at King Qin in a daze, his face expressionless.

King Qin said coldly: "The widow thought that you would commit suicide, but I didn't expect you to be no." ”

Ma Gonggong smiled bitterly and said, "I have served the king all my life, and I must explain clearly before leaving!"

King Qin said: "The widow treats you well! With your status, the widow has given you everything you can have, although you are not a minister, then you are already a very human minister, and all the princes and ministers are polite when they see you, what are you not satisfied with? What benefits can he give you?"

Ma Gonggong said: "I know that the king treats me like a mountain, and I don't want to betray the king, but I have a handle to grasp He Zaiye's hands!"

King Qin was stunned: "You don't even have a handle in your crotch, how can you have a handle to grab his hand?"

Ma Gonggong sighed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the slave entered the palace at the age of nineteen, when you entered the palace, you were only twelve years old, and the slave entered the palace and began to serve you, following you to the top of the ladder, until you are in today's position, for so many years, the king has never treated the slave badly, and the slave has always been grateful." ”

King Qin pointed at him and said, "Do you still know that you are grateful, and if you are grateful, why do you betray the widow?"

Ma Gonggong smiled, smiled very desolately, and said, "Does the king know why I entered the palace?"

King Qin was stunned and said: "I seem to have heard you say before, you are an impotence, that thing is superfluous, and it is the same whether you cut it or not, so you cut it into the palace, and your heart is pure, isn't it?"

Ma Gonggong shook his head and said, "No!"

King Qin said: "Then is it He Zaiye who sent you into the palace? But when you entered the palace, He Zaiye was still a child!"

Ma Gonggong said fairly: "Does the king know that my hometown is also from Luochuan?"

King Qin was stunned and said: "I don't care about this, won't you betray the widow just because you and He Zaiye are fellow countrymen, right?

Ma Gonggong said slowly: "That's not it! In fact, the slave was married, and he got married at the age of seventeen, and the slave's wife grew up with me since childhood. She is very beautiful, in my eyes, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, I love her very much, but unfortunately in the second year of marriage, because of the birth of a dragon and phoenix fetus, hemorrhage, she left......"

Speaking of this, two lines of hot tears flowed down!

Ma Gonggong said with tears in his eyes: " At that time, my family was poor, and I was alone with two children, and the children were often sick, not to mention seeing a doctor, and I couldn't even eat, and since my wife died, I was also disheartened, and then I heard that when I entered the palace as a eunuch, there was a hundred taels of silver for purification, not only for food and shelter, but also for money every month, so I entrusted my child to my neighbor, and gave him a hundred taels of silver, so that he could take good care of my child, and then every year I got my salary, I would send it back to my neighbor, and I didn't want those two children to suffer。 ”

King Qin said: "These two children are now in the hands of He Zaiye?"

Ma Gonggong said: "Yes! Later, I was promoted and had money, but I had money and no place to spend it, so I sent all this money back, because it was sent too often, and it was on Luochuan's territory, so it attracted He Zaiye's attention, and then he secretly inquired and finally found out about this matter." Although I haven't seen my children for decades, and my children are already old, and they are already full of children and grandchildren, and there is no relationship between me and them, but as the king said, blood is thicker than water, after all, they are my blood, they are all I live in this world, how can I bear to abandon them?"

King Qin said: "So you chose to betray me?"

Ma Gonggong said with tears: "The slave is sorry for the king, but the slave has always been thinking about the king in his heart, after He Zaiye defected, he asked me to poison the king's diet and poison the king, but I have never had this idea!"

King Qin said coldly: "I was suspicious of you before He Zaiye defected, you don't have a chance to poison you, and the things you have come into contact with have never been eaten." Of course, it was my son who doubted you first!"

Ma Gonggong's face showed shock, looked at Qu Nian, and then smiled bitterly, and said, "In this way, the news of my betrayal is also fake news." Gongzi is really extremely smart, and it is also the luck of the Qin State that the king can have such a smart son!" When he said this, he shook his head again and said: "Since such a perfect plan is a fake plan, Gongzi must have a more perfect plan, He Zaiye's strength can't support his ambition, he's finished!"

King Qin said: "But it's a little late for you to understand now!"

Ma Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, I know that my sins are unforgivable, and I don't expect the king to forgive me, but the king sees that for the sake of my life serving the king, there is no merit, and there is hard work, I beg the king to break through Luochuan when the time comes, and I can spare my children, they are innocent, they have never participated in this matter!"

King Qin said: "If you don't say it, how will the widow know that you have children?"

Ma Gonggong said: "Wang ...... The king is extremely clever, and he must be able to ...... You can guess it. ”

King Qin smiled: "It's not that simple, right? Are you afraid that He Zaiye will know that he has been tricked by you, get a fake news, and will kill your child to vent his anger, you are actually holding a fluke mentality, you are also gambling, betting that He Zaiye will definitely die on the battlefield, and there is no chance to kill your child, but the moment he knows that he was fooled, he will definitely reveal the fact that you betrayed me, this thing is spread to ten, ten to hundred, He Zaiye's soldiers and horses are also widows and horses after all, even if he is defeated, it is impossible for the widow to slaughter his soldiers and horses, so this secret cannot be kept, which is also the reason why you did not commit suicide, did not resist, and took the initiative to confess。 ”

Father-in-law Ma was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and even forgot to shed tears, and said in a pleading tone: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, but my children are innocent, they are all ordinary people, and they have never done anything unfaithful or unjust, this is all the fault of the slave alone, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, please ask the king to kill me alone." ”

King Qin said: "Originally, I couldn't figure out why you betrayed me, after all, you grew up with me, so when Qu Nian doubted you two days ago, the widow was still skeptical, because the widow really couldn't think of your motive for betraying the widow! Therefore, eunuchs cannot have children, and once they have children, they will have concerns and ambitions. Although the widow is very good to you, you think that you only have hard work and no merit for the widow, and your children will never see the light, will not be able to enter the court, and will not even be able to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. Although your child was caught by He Zaiye, it is also an opportunity for you, if you take refuge in He Zaiye, help him seek to usurp the throne, or help him get the Eye of Heaven, then you are his first hero, and your descendants can also ascend to the court, glorify their ancestors, and if you are lucky, you can also get two Eyes of Heaven. Am I right?"

Hearing this, Gonggong Ma's face turned pale and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's not what you think, the slave is really coerced and forced to do so!"

King Qin sneered and said, "This is only part of the reason, but your heart has indeed rebelled. It is indeed understandable that you betrayed today's battle plan, and you are thinking about your children. But the news that you betrayed the Eye of Heaven a few days ago is unforgivable, He Zaiye doesn't know about Fei Fei, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to let you inquire, but why do you take the initiative to tell the truth?"

Ma Gonggong was speechless.

Qu Nian turned his head to look at King Qin and said with a smile: "Father, I didn't expect you to be so smart!"

King Qin pretended to be displeased, and said: "How can you talk like this kid? Your father has always been extremely smart, okay? Although your father does not suspect people, but you don't need to suspect people, but as soon as your father suspects a person, he will become very smart, dozens of times smarter than you, so don't let me doubt you in the future, otherwise you won't be able to fight me." ”

Qu Nian said in his heart, it seems that the news of today's runaway is not yet let you know, and I will have to explain it to Wan Ting in private later, and I can't say anything in the future. said: "Father must be extremely smart, otherwise he would not have given birth to such a smart son as me." ”

King Qin nodded and said, "This is reasonable!"

Ma Gonggong saw that the shameless father and son were sticking gold to each other, but he still agreed in his heart, the father and son were indeed too smart, and He Zaiye was far from them.

King Qin looked at him again at this time and said: "For so many years, the reason why I believe in you is not because you are particularly good, on the contrary, I think you are very mediocre, and you are particularly relieved, after all, you don't need too smart people to do the work of serving people, and as you yourself said, your strength can't support your ambition." If you want to use a touching love story, you want to move the widow, and you think of the widow too naïve. The widow never believed in love. ”
