224, brass bell

After the excitement of the Lantern Festival, the palace returned to normal, the palace people performed their duties, Qiuyuan and Qiufeng's subordinates each received a large mess, and they were so busy every day that they didn't even have the time to breathe. On this day, Qiufeng complained to Qing Dai: "The old slippery head of the inner palace eunuch! They all say good things, and when they turn their butts, it's like they haven't farted! I won't admit it before the smell is gone! Master, just me and Qiu Yuan can't call it away, can we bring a few more people from our family in? It's okay to help the two of us share the burden. ”

Qingdai frowned and said, "Why do you have to do everything yourself?" Just let it go! Remember, you just need to be in charge of people now, not yourself! What you need to do is to cultivate a group of people who can take charge of things, everything depends on you and Qiu Yuan, no matter how strong you two are, how many nails can you make? ”

Just as he was talking, Qiu Yuan hurriedly walked in, and before he could salute, he came to Qing Dai's side and whispered: "Master, there is an urgent letter from Erhei." The Tao is the real bamboo princess of Zhenla, who made people come to find us, saying that now Hu Xuan, the chief soldier of Zhennanguan, is secretly contacting everywhere in the name of the heir of Hu Jicang in Annan, and wants to gather troops to counterattack the Ming Dynasty! ”

Qingdai stood up suddenly: "Hu Xuan?!" Hu Shanxiang's brother?! Hu Jicang's descendants? I see! In this way, all kinds of strange things about the Hu family finally have an explanation! No wonder the Hu family is deliberately trying to push their daughter to the back seat! It turns out that they are seeking the world of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Qiu Yuan said anxiously: "Master, should we tell the emperor the news as soon as possible?" ”

Qing Dai pondered for a moment and said, "No, we can't expose the connection with the outside of the palace." In this way, you go and sue SΓΉ Erhei and let him think of revealing this news to Zhang Fu! Let Zhang Fu verify it! ”

The plan of the master and servant has been decided, Qiu Yuan hurried to deliver the message, only to see the palace people hurriedly come over to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor he, he"

Qing Dai frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Speak well! ”

The palace man said tremblingly: "The emperor suddenly went to the Xiaoyao Palace in anger, and later, for some reason, suddenly let people use the bronze bell in front of the palace to cover the concubine Zhu Gaoxu in it, light firewood, and roast it."

In the Easy Palace, Zhu Gaoxu finished dancing with his sword all the way in a hurry, and then turned back to the emperor who was sitting there with a calm face and said indifferently: "Why did the eldest nephew think of it today, and look at the uncle?" Could it be that I feel sorry that I didn't eat the Lantern Festival, so you brought me a snack? ”

Zhu Zhanji held back his anger, took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it on the table, and asked coldly: "Uncle, don't think about eating Lantern Festival first, let's see if you recognize this person?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu glanced up indifferently, his face suddenly changed greatly, he hurriedly grabbed it, and snatched the piece of paper in his hand, only to see that the paper was painted with a young girl, her eyes were like cold stars, and she was looking at the world with an attitude.

Zhu Gaoxu's hand that could pull the three-stone strong bow couldn't help but tremble, and the girl on it was painted vividly, as if it was a living Li Han standing in front of him.

His eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he couldn't imagine that he would get another news of her within the walls.

Suddenly, he became alert and shouted to the emperor, "What happened to you?!" I am the only one to bear my sins, and she has long since left me, and knows nothing about me! Don't listen to people and embarrass her! ”

Zhu Zhanji's heart is like a knife, a few days ago, Chen Jian, the chief soldier of Juyongguan, was even more on the secret fold, and said that Queen Sun was the remnant of the Han King that day! He really didn't want to believe it after summoning Chen Jiangen, but Chen Jian's words were even more conclusive, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he asked Jinyiwei to take someone to the border city to verify.

When the people in the border city remembered that there were more people who remembered Li Hanli girl, and there were many families who still worshiped her ancestral hall, Jin Yiwei brought the portraits on those ancestral halls and witnesses, the emperor did not speak, but he personally painted a portrait of Qing Dai, so that those people recognized, the emperor's painting skills are very good, ordinary painters can not compare, he is familiar with Qing Dai can no longer be familiar, so he put down the pen, those people said: "This is Miss Li!" "That's her! Bodhisattva bless! She's alive! ”

The emperor was silent, waved his hand to take those people away, and sat on the dragon chair for a long time, before he remembered that he should still ask someone, and came to the Xiaoyao Palace.

At this time, his last glimmer of hope to see Zhu Gaoxu's expression was finally shattered, and he sneered: "You protect her like this, do you know that she doesn't care about your life or death now, and lives a very nourishing life!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the person on the portrait affectionately and greedily, and said nonchalantly: "It's me who is sorry for her, she doesn't care about my life or death." As long as she lives well, as long as she lives well, what does it have to do with her if I live or die? ”

Zhu Zhanji's heart was about to pour out a vat of vinegar, and said sourly: "I really can't see that Uncle Huang is still such an infatuated person!" I just don't know if you miss her so much, does she still have you in her heart? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said vigilantly: "Does she have anything to do with you in her heart?!" Where is she now, you say?! What happened to her?! ”

Zhu Zhanji said deliberately: "She is now in my hands, I heard that she is very talented, I think it is mediocre, if there is nothing outstanding and her temper is stinky and disobedient, just kill it!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu exclaimed: "No! You'll regret killing her! She really deserves to be talented! You don't know, that day"

In order to let Zhu Zhanji not kill Li Han, Zhu Gaoxu told Li Han's exploits that day 1510.

The more Zhu Zhanji listened, the more sad she became, it turned out that she had been so kind to him, planning and fighting so hard for him! They have also been in love with each other, no! She loves him is true love, it's not like with him, entering the palace is just being calculated

The more he looked at Zhu Gaoxu in front of him, the more disgusted he became, how could this be? It's not good who she loves, but she prefers his own uncle! What a sin!

He sneered: "Even if the imperial uncle is so affectionate to her, is he willing to exchange his life for her life?!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, and only after a while did he stand up proudly and said, "Then why not!" If I could exchange my life for her life, I would die immediately! ”

Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "What a love is as deep as the sea!" Good! Good! Good! But I won't let you get your wish! I'm going to torture her for the rest of my life! Let her regret not being at the beginning! ”

Zhu Gaoxu was angry, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhu Zhanji and threw him to the ground: "You untrustworthy child!" If you want to torture her, I'll kill you first!" ”

Zhu Zhanji never expected that Zhu Gaochu would dare to make a move against him, the king of the country, and he was stunned when he sat on the ground, and when he saw that Zhu Gaochu was really going to pull out his sword and stab him, he hurriedly rolled down, shouting: "Someone! Escort! It turned out that he wanted to ask Zhu Gaoxu about Qingdai, but naturally he couldn't be heard, because this time he was talking to Zhu Gaochu alone, and the entourage rushed to wait outside the hall, and this time was naturally unbearable.

The guards were shocked when they heard this, and immediately swarmed up, holding Zhu Gaochu down with all hands and feet, after Zhu Zhanji was helped up, Liang Guan was also crooked, one of his boots was kicked off, and his palms were all scratched with broken skin, and his new hatred for Zhu Gaochu suddenly burst out: "Traitor!" You even dare to kill the king! I'm going to kill you! No! I can't let you die so cheaply" He looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Come on! Bring me that bronze bell! Cover this traitor! Pile up wood for me to roast! Aren't you hard-boned? I see if you're still hard! Zhu Gaoxu couldn't scold, but he couldn't stop the guards from tying him up, and several people laboriously lifted the big bronze bell and covered Zhu Gaoxu inside.

Bursts of black smoke rose from the center of the flames, and everyone could still hear Zhu Gaoxu's scolding in the bronze bell.
