Chen Sheng's front door has undergone several changes in the past few years, from the busy traffic to the cold in the courtyard and then to the bustle of people. （）

But no matter whether it is lively or deserted, compared with the other four auxiliary ministers of the DPRK and China, Chen Sheng is as handsome as a bamboo in the eyes of hundreds of officials and people.

He never thought that he would be surrounded by officers and soldiers in front of his door, and the door was sealed, and the entire house became a prison.

Previously, Chen Sheng guarded the imperial city, was pushed by Qin Tangong and was injured, and then was confined to the duty room, and did not get timely treatment, plus the rapid fire attack on the heart and body was not good, and later Qu Bai Zhang Liantang and others broke into the imperial city to rescue him, and never got better, when it was reported that the four masters of Cangshan took Song Ying to go into hiding, Xue Qing took the book and returned from the mountain, and fell into a coma, and the doctors could not diagnose and treat him through the winter.

Therefore, although he was identified as a member of the Song and Yuan Dynasty of Qintan, he was not imprisoned because he was seriously ill, but was taken care of on the spot.

"The teacher is sometimes sober, and when he is sober, he says that he wants to see His Highness. Qu Bai said on the side, saluting again, "The minister has the courage to play a request for the teacher." ”

"Qu Bai, you are bold. There was a shouting from behind.

The noisy sound of cars and horses and footsteps came from the street, and Wang Lieyang approached surrounded by a group of officials, who were surrounded from all sides.

Xue Qing moved quickly from seeing Qu Bai to leaving the palace, and did not order to prepare to guard the guard of honor, etc., only walked out of the palace and asked for a horse from the guards, and took four eunuchs to Chen Sheng's door directly under the escort of a group of guards.

But word spread immediately.

Xue Qing looked back and saw that there were many officials he knew, such as Kang Dai, Shi Qingtang and others, dodging in the crowd, looking uneasy and expectant.

Chen Sheng was confessed, and these people were naturally inevitably implicated, in addition to the officials involved in the protection of the emperor's concubine, there were also Chen Sheng's disciples and protégés, and more than half of the officials in the court and the central government were uneasy.

At this time, everyone either lamented behind closed doors, or was disheartened and ready to resign, or took refuge in Wang Lieyang and others in order to make a living.

Unexpectedly, Qu Bai, a disciple who was at odds with Chen Sheng at the beginning, actually ran for Chen Sheng, regardless of Wang Lieyang's obstruction and begged to see Emperor Baozhang.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Baozhang really came to see Chen Sheng at the request.

What does this mean? Is there a turning point in Chen Sheng's crime?

Wang Lieyang approached Xue Qing, and the officials who followed him scolded the guards, stopping Qu Bai and the others and retreating backwards.

"Your Highness. Wang Lieyang's expression was solemn, and he sighed lightly, "This is Chen Sheng's trick to blackmail His Highness." ”

Xue Qing said: "Actually, Lone also wants to meet him. He also sighed lightly, "When I was alone, I really trusted him." ”

In the end, he was deceived by Chen Sheng, so he was unwilling to ask? It is also human nature, not to mention that young people are even more obsessed.

Wang Lieyang said: "The minister understands what His Highness means, but this move will affect His Highness's reputation." He looked around, and more officials came in the distance, "Chen Sheng has always had a good reputation, unlike Song Yuan, the conviction and he must be done by the three divisions, His Royal Highness cannot come forward, otherwise it will be considered His Highness's will, and His Highness will be burdened with the name of meanness, if he is not convicted or sentenced lightly, His Highness will have the name of benevolence, but it will mess up the laws and regulations of the country, and it will be difficult to deter the remnants of the traitorous party in the DPRK and China." ”

Xue Qing said: "Xiangye is reasonable, and Gu also understands. He sighed lightly again, and his expression seemed to be impulsive and regretful, and he was at a loss.

Wang Lieyang said: "Since His Highness is here, it doesn't matter. "Bow your head," Please wait outside the door, and the old minister will go inside to see Chen Sheng on behalf of His Royal Highness. ”

Xue Qing's expression was instantly solemn, and he said: "Xiangye is not Song Yuan, how can you let Xiangye do this kind of thing for Gu." Then he turned and walked forward.

Everything was too fast, Wang Lieyang only had time to shout His Royal Highness, Xue Qing had already stood in front of the door, with a wave of his sleeves, the closed door clattered open, and his sleeves crossed the threshold behind him, and the broken seal fluttered and made a rattling sound.

Wang Lieyang stomped on his heels, and when he saw him stride, Qu Bai pushed away the officers and soldiers to follow, and several other officials also rushed in.

"Don't enter. ”

"Stop. ”

"Your Highness didn't let anyone follow!"

But His Highness didn't say anything about not letting him in. ”

There was a commotion outside the door, and the forbidden officers and soldiers blocked it, and some important ministers were inconvenient to stop them from entering, of course, most of the officials were stopped outside the door, and they gathered to talk in a low voice, and looked at the door that had been closed again, as if they could see through the door.

Chen's wife and her daughters-in-law and grandchildren knelt down outside the hall to greet them, bowed their heads and listened to the footsteps approaching, listened to Qu Bai Daosheng Teacher was here, and then listened to the footsteps and went in, and then raised his head.

There were low sobs from the women, but the next moment they were stopped by Chen's wife.

"Don't cry. She said, kneeling on the ground with her back straight, "What is there to cry about." ”

The women behind them covered their mouths and did not dare to speak.

.....

.....

"My lord, Your Highness, here you are. ”

"Teacher, teacher, you want to see Your Highness, Your Highness is here. ”

The urgent call choked in his ears made Chen Sheng wake up from his stupor, Your Highness, Your Highness! He opened his eyes, and a red girl's figure broke into his blurred vision, and the dragon pattern was faintly visible on his clothes.

"Your Highness. Chen Sheng opened his mouth and said that he was about to get up, his mind suddenly condensed, and then he also saw the person standing by the bed.

A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, in a red robe with narrow sleeves, her figure was as neat as a robe, and her face was .....

Unfamiliar.

Chen Sheng froze, and then the look of surprise slowly dissipated, and the chaotic thoughts gradually straightened out, what happened in the past, how it was at this time, it was clear in an instant, and then the person fell back to the bed.

"This is what you really look like. He said, his voice hoarse and low.

Of course, Xue Qing used his true face that was no longer concealed on this trip back to Beijing, which was unfamiliar to those who were once familiar with Xue Qing.

Xue Qing didn't say anything and looked at Chen Sheng.

"You don't look like the first emperor and empress. Chen Sheng said.

.....

.....

"Teacher. ”

"Chen Sheng, you are bold. ”

Pleas and shouts abounded.

Chen Sheng sighed lightly: "I'm just telling the truth." ”

Xue Qing smiled and said: "Chen Xiangye's truth is his own truth, and it is not the truth of the world, of course, it can be said that there is no need to make a fuss." ”

Looking sideways, it seemed that Wang Lieyang and other officials were stopped, but in fact, they were still talking to Chen Sheng.

Wang Lieyang and the others didn't know, and leaned over to answer the voice loudly His Highness Shengming.

Xue Qing said: "You guys go down first, and talk to Xiangye." ”

Wang Lieyang and the others glanced at each other.

"Your Highness. Wang Lieyang took a step forward and said, "If you have something to say, let's say it in front of people." Raising his head and looking at Xue Qing, "So as not to make the world suspicious, after all, His Highness's identity has gone through several twists and turns." ”

This is a reminder, this is a warning.

Xue Qing smiled slightly: "Lone's identity can still come to this day after several twists and turns, what is Lone's fear of in this world's suspicion?" retracted his gaze and stopped looking at Wang Lieyang, "You guys stand down." ”

His Royal Highness can not be afraid of the forbidden words of the courtiers, but the courtiers cannot not be afraid of disobeying the reputation of His Highness.

When it comes to major national affairs, disobedience is a loyal minister and a good general, and this trivial disobedience is a bit unreasonable, and the gains outweigh the losses, and it is not reasonable.

Wang Lieyang bowed his head and retreated with the officials, and the old servant standing by the bed hesitated and bowed his head and retreated, leaving only the two of them in the room.

The sound of the stool moving broke the stagnant silence, and Xue Qing raised his foot and hooked the stool next to the bed and sat down.

"Chen Xiangye wants to see me to make sure, is it really me who came back?" she said.

This opening sentence sums up everything that happened in a casual and casual way.

Chen Sheng looked at the girl sitting on the edge of the bed, although she had resumed her women's clothes, her sideburns were simple, she didn't wear jewelry, and she looked like a teenager at first glance.

The boy from the beginning.

Chen Sheng said: "It was Liang Feng and I introduced Song Yuan, the reason why I believe him is because we all know that the cause of death of the first emperor and empress is suspicious, coupled with the various actions of Qin Tangong, so I am not surprised that Emperor Baozhang is still alive, I am surprised by Song Yuan." ”

But there's no denying that it's because he was an accident that made this possible. ”

"I met Song Ying. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xue Qing.

"I met Her Royal Highness Emperor Baozhang when I was a child, and I taught her to write. ”

So what he wants to say is that he can recognize Emperor Baozhang, although Song Ying has disfigured his appearance and is a few years older.

Xue Qing said: "Xiangye, if you rely on your appearance to confirm, you should learn from Qin Tangong." ”

Chen Sheng said: "You kid, you seem to be honest, but you are actually the most eloquent. ”

Xue Qing said: "Teacher, in fact, I tell the truth. ”

The teacher made Chen Sheng silent, and all the things that had happened appeared and dissipated, and the sick and weak face looked a little stunned.

"I never meant to hurt your life. He said.

Xue Qing said: "So I will come to see you today." ”

I know who is good to me and who is kind to me.

Chen Sheng was silent for a moment, smiled, and then looked at Xue Qing: "No, you want Qubai Kangdai Shiqingtang and them to meet you." ”

"You and I know very well what Wang Lieyang is. ”

"After so many twists and turns, you got the handwritten letter and ascended to the throne, Wang Lieyang has no merits, and the courtiers all see it, you can't be a king who will take revenge, right?"

"Xue Qing, you need to use people, you don't need these old guys, and you can't use them. ”

"I've been convicted of a mountain, they will be implicated if they don't rely on it, and they need to find a new backer at this moment. ”

"Wang Lieyang won't let you see them, won't let you see me, just to let them know that Your Highness will not forgive them, they have no way out but to seek a way to survive under Wang Lieyang. ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you forgive or not, Xue Qing, you have already got the handwritten letter and confirmed your identity, the past doesn't matter to you, what you want is to look forward. ”

Hearing this, Xue Qing shook his head and said, "Actually, no, I'm a very stingy person, and I won't forgive anyone who offends me." ”

Chen Sheng was silent for a moment and said, "So you killed Liang Feng." ”

Xue Qing smiled and said, "Yes." He added, "Xiangye, it's not that I deliberately want to hide it from you, it's because you also hid a lot of things from me at that time, so I'm afraid that if you say it, everyone will be embarrassed." ”

This kind of explanation is really Qingqi, and only she can say it, Chen Sheng couldn't help laughing, and said, "Is it because of Mr. Qingxia?"

This asks the reason for killing Liang Feng.

Xue Qing smiled and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

The cough sounded, and Chen Sheng on the bed stroked his chest with his hands, undulating violently but his voice was lingering and weak.

Xue Qing brought water from the side, Chen Sheng did not refuse her support, took a few sips of water with her hand, slightly suppressed the cough and lay down again.

That's it for the previous topic.

"Only Song Yuan, Liang Feng and I know about Song Ying, Shi Qingtang, Kang Dai, Li Guangyuan and others, they don't know. Chen Sheng said, "They are dedicated to Emperor Baozhang, so what they did is not wrong, they are not guilty." ”

Xue Qing said: "Lone knows, otherwise he wouldn't have come today." ”

When there is a lonely, the students and teachers are no more.

Chen Sheng was silent for a moment again and said, "In this way, I have nothing to worry about." ”

Xue Qing stood up.

In this way, there was nothing to say between the two, Xue Qing turned around and Chen Sheng spoke again.

"Your Highness, I'm going to die. He said.

Xue Qing turned his head and said calmly: "Everyone will die, Chen Xiangye should not be a person who is afraid of death." ”

Chen Sheng looked at her and said, "You, do you have any secrets?" Are you really His Royal Highness Baozhang?"

When a person is about to die, getting a truth and solving a secret can be regarded as a blind death.

Xue Qing smiled slightly and looked at him: "I have no secrets, there is no secret in this matter, I am Baozhang." ”

Chen Sheng said: "Then I was really deceived by Song Yuan Liang Feng?"

Xue Qing nodded and said, "Yes, Chen Sheng, you were deceived by Song Yuan, the Duke of Qintan, you are sorry for Lonely." With that, he turned and walked out.

Chen Sheng lay back on the pillow, pressed his hand on his chest, suppressed the cough that was surging up, listened to the door open, listened to the chaotic voice of His Highness, listened to the chaotic footsteps outward, and there were also footsteps coming inward.

"Teacher. ”

"Sir. ”

"How are you?"

Chen Sheng didn't speak, his thoughts were chaotic, but he looked at the top of the tent intently, and there were more footsteps outside.

"Your Highness, I've met you outside the door. ”

"Sir, sir, Your Highness said outside the door that you were deceived. ”

"Xiangye, Xiangye, Your Highness, Your Highness has seen us, we, Your Highness said that those who do not know are not guilty. ”

All kinds of mixed sounds filled the room, but Chen Sheng didn't feel noisy, and slowly he couldn't hear anything, and it was quiet.

Shicai's conversation, she said that she would forgive and reuse Qu Baishi Qingtang and others, but she did not forgive him, nor did she say that she would exempt him from his crimes, and she also said that he was sorry for her.

It was really sad, but a smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face.

"I'm really blinded, then, there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing. He said, "I am for Emperor Baozhang and for the sake of the Great Zhou royal family, and what I did was not wrong." ”

If there is no mistake, there will be no regrets.

On the tenth day of November in the fourth year of Jianxing, Chen Sheng died of illness.

On November 13 of the fourth year of Jianxing, Emperor Baozhang ascended the throne as the emperor, changed the Yuan Tai'an, and granted amnesty to the world.

At this time, the border won three consecutive battles, the prince of Xiliang was besieged, and the king of Xiliang sent a letter of state to ask for peace.

On the winter solstice, the temple sacrifice ceremony, the sky rains snow, which is a good omen.

A prosperous era is in sight.
