An electric dragon rushed through the rooftop, and the thunder followed, and in an instant, the rain poured down, and the buildings in the cloisters were like beaded curtains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The emperor's chariot marched steadily in the wind and rain on the gallop road of the East Palace, and at the end of the road, Zhao Yili held an umbrella to help Li Chengxun, who was dressed in regular clothes, to get off the car, and the inner attendant behind hurriedly dressed the emperor in a good coat and clogs, and the group walked to the inner hall.

The crown prince Li Jin had already retired from the palace according to the instructions and waited respectfully in the palace.

Zhao Yili instructed the chamberlains to take off Li Chengxun's robe, and bowed down tremblingly to take off the emperor's shoes. He was a little unwell today, and the wind and rain that blew this way was really unbearable, and he almost fell on the steps with an upside-down onion. Seeing this, Li Chengxun helped him and hurriedly beckoned the attendant to send him to the Tai Hospital for treatment. He leaned over and took off his clogs and entered the main hall.

When Li Jin saw Li Chengxun enter the hall, he immediately knelt down and bowed.

Li Chengxun coughed a few times, leaned on the armrest of the chair and adjusted his posture several times before sitting down and whispering, "Get up and talk back." I'm here to tell you two truths. ”

"Yes." Li Jingong stood with his head bowed and waited for the question.

There was a thunderclap in the sky, and the empty hall was as silent as death. Li Jin only felt as if there was a jack pressing on the top of his head, squeezing the air in his chest and lungs, making him suffocated, and a terrifying atmosphere quietly spread between the two. He raised his head and quietly sat on him the majestic and holy man of the king and father, only to see that his temples were frosted again, and a few strands of white hair on his forehead were also blown away by the wind, wet and soft curled up on his forehead, looking decadent, old and vicissitudes, like a tree that has begun to decay inside, and there are traces of withering on the surface. He put his elbows on the armrests to support half of his body, and his cloudy eyes stared at the ground in a daze, slightly distracted.

Li Jin didn't dare to come out, and after a few glances, he stood respectfully and solemnly.

The wind escaped through the cracks in the door of the main hall, blowing the splendid curtains, and dancing strangely.

Barely giving him any time to think, Li Chengxun turned his head and glared at him like a volcano that had been silent for a long time and suddenly erupted, and asked, "Let me ask you, do you dare to tell me that you have never had the slightest disobedience?" ”

Li Jin's hand twitched uncontrollably spasmodically a few times, but he was not frightened to the point of losing his temper, he just leaned down and replied, "How dare you." ”

Li Chengxun was like a tiger that had been invaded and occupied, and he suddenly woke up from the state of squinting and groggy just now, his sharp eyes glared at the boss, his body was straight like a pine, and his demeanor and movements all exuded the smell of hostility and anger.

He took out a book of letters from his wide sleeve and handed it to him and asked: "Look at this, this is a book of repentance found from the post station where Si Yugu committed suicide, this greedy ink and money don't care, you just look at the end, stealing Shui Shenbi was actually his intention to serve Gu Chaomin, this Shui Shenbi is used to solve my stubborn disease, and Gu Chaomin is your person." I'm just asking you, do you know? ”

Li Jin lowered his head and took the letter, retreated to the distance, glanced at it quickly, and then clasped his fists and clarified: "The minister is wronged, Si Yugu has been dead for more than two years, why did this letter of repentance only be delivered to my father today." The father should also ask someone to investigate the truth of this letter, and he should not listen to it and believe it. ”

Li Chengxun suddenly stared at the candle flame in the hall, his eyes were a little confused, and he sighed softly: "Your eldest sister's concubine has died." Taining was grieved. The colt is also too uncompetitive. I can deny him, but I can't deny Taining's daughter, she is the only blood and bone left by Concubine Xian. ”

Li Jin sighed and said sadly: "The minister knows", and added again, "But the minister believes that Gu Chaomin will not be so confused." ”

Li Chengxun leaned forward slightly, looked at him with burning eyes, and said, "The Gu family has lived quite a glorious life without the obstruction of Wei, Cui and other scholars in the past two years. But have they even forgotten the teachings of the ancients, a lesson from the past, and a teacher from the future. The overthrow of the nobles is a lesson. This is the second thing I want to ask you: During the Huai River flood last winter, Gu Chen's cousin Gu Xiang took the opportunity to buy disaster land at a low price and annexed nearly 300,000 mu of land on both sides of the river. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Li Jin was shocked, only then did he understand his intentions, he suddenly became nervous, his heart was like numbness, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so he said: "...... minister"

Li Chengxun stood up with his hands behind his back, paced in front of him, and shouted, "Answer me!" ”

Li Jin lowered his head to avoid his aggressive gaze, his eyes looking at the ground rolled in his sockets, and hurriedly said: "The minister has only heard about it in recent days, but Gu Chen has already taught him a lesson and ordered him to return most of the land to the people." ”

Li Chengxun patted him on the shoulder heavily and sneered: "The condition is to transfer him to manage Jianghuai's salt and iron business?" You've got a good plan. ”

Li Jin was so frightened that he was at a loss, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The minister is guilty, I think Gu Chen is old and confused, and the minister will reprimand him." ”

Li Chengxun's sleeves flowed, and his increasingly thin body floated past him like a ghost, he shuddered, and the words of admonition fell gloomily from the top of his head: "He has always been an old plan, but the family branch is prosperous and weak." It's not your turn to reprimand him. Your surname is Li, not Gu, this is a public matter, not a private matter! ”

"Remember." He prostrated himself.

Li Chengxun rubbed his temples slightly tiredly, took a breath, and said loudly: "I told you today, Gu Chaomin's case must be investigated, and tomorrow in Dali Temple should arrest and arrest people, and it should be tried." As for the matter of Huaihe, tell Gu Chen to let him take care of it himself, if it is done well, I will keep his son's life, if you don't take care of it, I have to investigate it myself, and when there is an accident, don't even think about hiding. I don't even know what you've done. I have only one way, and if anyone disturbs my country, I will take someone's life. ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, Li Jin deeply felt his father's cleverness and the city government, both respectful and afraid, and hurriedly listed: "Yes, the minister knows." Gu Xiang will be investigated immediately, all the fields will be returned, and the disaster relief funds will be distributed at a later date, reducing or reducing taxes in the disaster area and appeasing the people. ”

Li Chengxun is noncommittal about the specific measures he proposed, as the emperor in charge of the country, he does not need to understand the specific process and only look at the results, obviously Li Jin did not take the right pulse, and now he is still difficult to understand the mystery of how to be a king.

"That's their business. As long as they get things done, I don't care what they do. But if you want to supervise this time, you must remember your identity and enforce the law impartially. The emperor's tone gradually faded, although it was not as powerful as just now, but this kind of smile hidden in the knife just made people tremble.

Li Jin was already sweating like rain, and he said to Li Chengxun's departing back: "Yes, I respectfully send Your Majesty." ”

After Lee Seung-hoon walked by, the door of the main hall was open. Li Jin drank and retired the chamberlains who closed the door and the palace people who served. A man dressed in a white silk undershirt, sitting barefoot cross-legged on the cold marble floor in front of the door, let the raindrops brought in by the wind hit his face, like ice needles piercing his skin, until his face froze, his eyes could not be opened by the wind, and tears flowed everywhere.

Chu Yunlian slowly came from the rain, she was wearing a white skirt and a white begonia diagonally, like a rain-soaked wetland sky drifting cloud falling to the ground, standing in front of him expressionlessly. He squinted at her and let out a creepy bleak laugh.

Three days later, the emperor suddenly had a headache attack on the main hall, almost fainted, and the next day, the officials of the Dali Temple re-mentioned the case of the theft of the water sinking bi, saying that new evidence had been found, and then there was a royal history to request a re-investigation of the case on the charge of attempting to murder the Holy Body, which shocked the government and the public, and what surprised everyone even more was that the hardest-working, most motivated, and most promising young general of the young generation of the Gu family was actually imprisoned for this matter, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

Gu Meng, who had already returned to her mother-in-law's house, cried and swollen her eyes when she heard the news. Lin Risheng was even more worried, for fear that the Chen family would be implicated in this case, so he wrote to greet him for several days. After the letter was sent, he was anxious and upset every day.

Gu Mengying thought that he was restless for his brother, but he comforted him with a pair of teary eyes, although he was at odds with Gu Chaomin, but in the face of his wife, he would also share one point of his great worry to his brother-in-law, but he did not hesitate to give the other nine points to the Chen family.

Chu Yunxi was also very anxious when he learned about this, and he also sent a message for interrogation, praying every day that the case would be resolved safely.

But the bad news soon reached the hands of the two through a reply, and the old man Chen had been arrested by the Hangzhou prefect for this case today, and he was escorted to the capital on a later day and entered the Dali Temple for interrogation. Lin Risheng was shocked when she received the letter, and the letter also stated that she would enter Beijing ahead of schedule before the prison bus started, and she had important matters to entrust.

Lin Risheng thought of seeing Chen Siyu again after nearly a year, and his heart beat wildly. He counted the days every day, expecting but also slightly afraid and guilty.

Finally half a month later, on the day of Mu Xiu, he was having lunch at noon, and suddenly someone in front of the door told him that there was a strange carriage parked at the gate of the house, and two people who came down from it asked to see the adults, and they were about southerners.

When he heard the words of his subordinates, his hand shook, and the chopsticks fell to the ground, Gu Mengying commanded the maid to pick up the chopsticks, and he was already impatient to run to the door of the courtyard.

But among the two people who came, they didn't see Chen Siyu, but Chen Hong and Xiao Hongye.

When Chen Hong saw him, he hurriedly dragged his old body and saluted him, and when he opened and closed his mouth, he was polite Lord Lin and shouted, Xiao Hongye was not as attentive as him, and even not as enthusiastic as he was when he lived in Hangzhou in the past, but his face was cold, his tone was stiff, and he had a deep resentment in his heart but he didn't dare to vent it to him in person.

Gu Mengying saw that he hadn't come back for a long time, so he followed him to the door to take a look. Lin Risheng was slightly embarrassed to introduce his wife to the two. When Chen Hong heard this, he immediately bowed. Xiao Hongye's face was extremely ugly, and he reluctantly saluted under his continuous urging, but he stubbornly refused to change his words, and only called her Miss Gu.

She saw that the two of them were born face to face, and it was not easy to greet them, if they were to change to the past, they would have left, but the trouble of the past year made her learn to be obedient, although they did not know each other, but she still gave her husband enough face, and kept smiling and inviting the two into the house to sit.

Lin Risheng couldn't say that they were Chen Siyu's family, but only that they were his cousin's family. Chen Hong and Xiao Hongye didn't enter the house either, Xiao Hongye looked at Gu Mengying vigilantly, and hesitated for a while before handing him a letter.

When he took the letter, he understood that the letter was written by Chen Siyu, he was embarrassed to read the letter in front of his wife, but he was afraid that there was something urgent in the letter, so he had to turn sideways and try to hide it as much as possible so that she would not see it.

He glanced apprehensively at the contents of the letter, hurriedly tucked it into his bosom, raised his feet and went out with the two of them, and in the wind there was only the faint farewell of his hurried departure, as if he too had swept between her fingers like a gust of wind, and opened his palm to grasp nothing but nothingness.

The two sent him to the July Building, along the way, Xiao Hongye ignored him angrily, he knew that he was at a loss and carefully lost his smile, Chen Hong was a calm and experienced elder, still polite and thoughtful to him, but the excessive respect between the words turned away from the intimacy between the two.

Lin Risheng wandered at the door for a while, his heart was beating suddenly, excited, nervous and scared, he paced back and forth, thinking about how to say after the meeting, but the panic in his heart disturbed his thoughts from time to time, but there was no way back, he could only knock on the door.

The door was unlocked and opened with a slight push. He pushed the door and went in, and saw Chen Siyu, who was wearing a rosin-colored fragrant yarn skirt, sitting in front of the window with her back to him, the window was open, and the sunlight spread all over the ground, reflecting seven-colored rainbow light on the corners of her skirt. He took two steps forward in a daze, and saw her with her eyes closed, leaning back in her chair, like a quiet lake, losing her previous lively aura.

He stood behind her and stared at her for a long time, before he knocked twice more on the door, and then she opened her eyes as if she had woken up from a dream and slowly turned to him. Her eyes rolled. The moment he met his eyes, his heart was like a knife. The original cunning and mischievous in her eyes, and the original delicate and pretty in her smile, seemed to bloom in her two pears, and all of them withered overnight.

She was like a lifeless yellow flower of yesterday, smiling palely, calling his name - Lin Risheng. There was no more delicate and clear voice in that voice, only hoarse and difficult.

Lin Risheng only felt a sour nose, this call was originally so ordinary haunting in his life, but now it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, past and present lives, as if desperately crying out from the distant galaxy.

He didn't dare to respond immediately, for fear that tears would fall from his mouth. He frowned vigorously, choked back to his throat, and nodded blankly in response to an expression he didn't know what it was.

She sobbed silently, tears streaming down her smiling face, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

Tears crossed her cheeks, shining brightly like shooting stars in the night, and the tears hung on her cheeks, like lily of the valley in the wind. Lin Risheng looked at her blood-colored eyes, and the tears were like a needle wearing silver silk thread in the sunlight, which suddenly changed direction at the moment when she was about to fall, piercing his heart at once.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart for a moment, and he clutched his chest, as if his chest was already dripping with blood at this moment. The pain prevented him from opening his mouth to respond to her call, and he just stood there clutching his heart in deep consternation, gasping for air like a fool.
