Ignoring the pain on her body, Wang Siying hurriedly got up from the ground, touched her nose, blood spilled out, and she touched her whole body, but she didn't find a handkerchief to wipe blood.

The little eunuch on the side felt even more funny, took out a handkerchief, and handed it over: "Lord Wang, let's use it first, let's not worry, Your Majesty has decided to summon you, don't care about waiting a little longer." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, it's Si Ying who is in a hurry. After wiping the blood, Wang Siying was about to return the handkerchief, looking at the blood stains on it, and felt embarrassed.

"You can take it, you can still use it if you don't have it. The little eunuch said, leading the way.

Wang Siying folded the handkerchief and put it in her sleeve.

The little eunuch did not know that a small act of kindness brought him a life talisman and glory and wealth for thirty years, until that sunny autumn.

Entering the imperial study, Wang Siying carefully knelt on the ground, shouting long live, because of nervousness, stammered, and said twice before succeeding.

Li Yuanhao put down the roster, glanced at Wang Siying, lifted the roster again, and drew a wavy line under Wang Siying: "People's character determines chance, you and Tang Zongfei went to the Zhennan Army, and the other went to the Zhenbei Army, both of them are military life, the road is far and bitter, Tang Zongfei is now more and more confident, far-sighted, and more informal, but you are the opposite, your personality is more and more gloomy, and your mind is getting heavier and heavier." I know that the court needs people like you, and after reusing you, I can save a lot of trouble, Tang Zongfei, Hu Hanbin and Huang Hanting read the book of sages, and they want to be sages, but you are different. In the face of the fact that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, you can quickly cut through the mess and make a decisive choice, the more power I give you, the less trouble, but even so, I still don't want to use you. ”

Wang Siying's body leaned down, trembling, a gust of wind blew, and a pair of boots stood in front of him.

"Raise your head, I ask you, and you will answer, and as for whether you want to tell the truth or a lie, you will weigh it yourself. I'm human, and I don't always like the truth. Li Yuanhao's voice sounded, as if in the clouds.

Wang Siying raised her head, her brows were full of sweat drops, because she had just fallen, her nose was blue and her face was swollen, and she was a little embarrassed and funny.

"When you sent a letter to the Zhennan Army, did your grandmother promise you?" asked Li Yuanhao.

"The Empress Dowager once promised that after Weichen returned to Beijing after staying in the Zhennan Army for two years, he could find a half-job in the Ministry of Rites. Wang Siying replied: "The ancestor has never broken his promise in this matter, after Weichen returned to Beijing, Lord Chu once found Weichen and gave him the position of ancestral sacrifice of the Ministry of Rites. Weichen was grateful, but he didn't want to be greedy, so he rejected his ancestors and entered the imperial examination, wanting to seek official positions with real talent and learning, and seek well-being for the people of the world. ”

Li Yuanhao nodded: "The former sentence is true, the latter sentence is false, and the latter sentence is a lie that you deliberately said, let me know that it is a lie, your goal has been achieved, and I heard which sentence is true and which sentence is false." ”

Wang Siying buried her head and fell to the ground: "Weichen should die, Weichen should die." ”

Li Yuanhao smiled: " You don't deserve to die, now you are an official in the court, nothing more than two ways, one is to enter the imperial examination, the other is to recommend and recommend, the latter is a shortcut to the south for the dignitaries, with the support of the fathers, most of them go smoothly, but for you, a poor scholar, although you have entered the court, but there is no support to help, not to mention the exclusion, you can only do the ceremonial ancestral sacrifice for a lifetime, but the imperial examination is different, pay attention to a jinshi in the same year, worship the examiner, there is a brotherly friendship, and the court will not be isolated in the future, with help. You Wang Siying don't want to just be a small ritual shrine sacrifice, right?"

Wang Siying was shocked, and only muttered: "Weichen deserves to die, Weichen deserves to die." ”

Li Yuanhao kicked Wang Siying and stopped the scholar's muttering: "It's really rare that you can make such a choice, and the old ancestor should also be very pleased with your choice, so he deliberately suppressed you and made you stay in the prison cell in the east of the city for another two years, have you ever resented the old ancestor?"

"Wechen has never ...... No, Wechen resented. Wang Siying suddenly changed the subject: "Occasionally thinking of this, Weichen feels that the Empress Dowager is not as happy as killing Wechen, and now looking back, it seems that it has been two years, but in it, the Empress Dowager has never said the deadline, it may be two years, it may be three years, it may be ten years, it may be a lifetime, except for the ancestors, no one knows how long Weichen will stay in the cell in the east of the city...... For this, Weichen couldn't be grateful. ”

Saying that, Wang Siying's head slammed on the ground, and he was like an outlaw who had gone out, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not like Tang Zongfei who was born in a wealthy family, he is heroic, and he has the great talent of Kuang Fu Sheji, although he is similar to Huang Hanting, Wang Siying is out of the poor together, but there is no pure heart of the two, but Weichen is also determined to be in the temple world, Weichen has a gloomy temperament, bad luck, but his life is extremely hard, Weichen only asks for a chance, a small opportunity, no matter what Weichen wants, I only hope that His Majesty can believe that Weichen also wants to do something for Li Min. ”

"What Tang Zongfei, Huang Hanting, and Wang Siying can do, Wang Siying can't do, but what Wang Siying can do, they can't do either!"

"Your Majesty dislikes and dislikes Weichen, so suppresses Weichen, Weichen is wronged, Weichen is not satisfied!"

"If Weichen makes a mistake in his words and disobeys the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, Weichen begs His Majesty to punish the minister's capital crime, don't let Weichen go back to the prison cell in the east of the city, that is to let Weichen die!"

Li Yuanhao squatted down, looked at Wang Siying, who was browning, and couldn't help but smile: "The heartfelt words that reveal true feelings make me a little moved." As for you, don't be presumptuous, Mr. Kong said that you have great talent, and you will walk steadily and quickly above the court, maybe I am a little worried. ”

sighed: "Wang Siying, ten days later, the Holy Body of the Ancestor will enter the Imperial Mausoleum, and the ceremony of sacrificing Confucius will also be held. ”

Wang Siying straightened up and saluted respectfully: "Weichen thank Lord Longen, thank Lord Longen!"

"I know you've been waiting for this day for a long time, go out of the palace and find a wine stall to drink, and then find a place where no one is there to cry, so as not to waste the years of grievances and hardships you have suffered. Li Yuanhao waved his hand and asked Wang Siying to retreat: "In the winter, wear a silk thin coat, it is enough to make a splash, go to Shen Ning'er in the inner library to pay some silver, buy a decent cotton clothes, I will be cold for you." ”

"Wechen...... Wechen ...... Wechen ...... Quit. ”

Exiting the imperial study, before the door was closed, Wang Siying was already crying in tears, he was crying as he walked, and with a face with a blue nose and swollen face, it attracted the attention and fingers of countless little palace maids.

And that, it was also the penultimate cry of Wang Siying's life.
