Knock knock knock......

The dull sound of drums sounded over Kyoto, and everyone looked in amazement in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Dengwen drum sounded!

The people of Kyoto were stunned for a moment, and then the whole of Kyoto was in an uproar.

How many years?

Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, this is the first time that someone has sounded the drum.

You're fat!

In other words, how much grievance does this person have to be to dare to beat the drum.

Beating the drums can indeed reach the heavenly hall and sue the royal court for His Majesty to personally hear the case. But at the same time, in order to prevent the people from harassing the emperor with trivial matters, the conditions for sounding the Dengwen drum were also quite harsh.

The law of the imperial court stipulates that those who beat the drum will be given eighty rods in the first court to prevent malicious petitions from the people for no reason.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the public security is naturally better than in other places, and the people of Kyoto think that they live under the roots of the imperial city, so they are more conscious than the people outside.

So, hearing the once-in-a-century event of the drums, the people of Kyoto rushed to the palace in groups to see the excitement.

Boom...... Knock Knock......

Under the huge Dengwen drum in front of the palace gate, a sturdy figure was drenched in blood on the lower half of his body, holding a huge drumstick and gritting his teeth to beat the Dengwen drum, again and again, the sound of the dong dong was like the unwilling roar of the soul of his Lei family more than ten years ago.

The crowd that was originally noisy was not afraid when they saw the Imperial Forest Army in front of the palace, but the sight of the man's trembling but still strong figure made everyone silent.

Knock knock knock......

Today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, Zhiyuan sat on the throne with a dignified face and listened to the performance of the ministers.

Just ascended the throne for a month, a month ago his father's sudden unreliable Zen let him be caught off guard, he complained in his heart that his father suddenly began to learn the Tao unreliable, and lamented that the pressure on the throne was too great, and his own unreliable "teacher" didn't even say to help him, and took care of the children at home all day. He wanted to ask, "Dad, are you so afraid that my master will be abducted?" "I'm still guarding my daughter-in-law all day long. Dad, you're enough.

At this time, the sound of dong dong sounded, and it took a long time for Zhiyuan to react.

Someone beat the drum!

Who is so bold?

Generally speaking, there are no heinous unjust cases. The drums don't make people beat them easily.

Zhiyuan frowned, and the ministers below were also stunned for a moment, and then exploded in an instant.

Oh my God, someone beat the drum.

Wow, that's so bold.

Who's this?

Are you not satisfied with Your Majesty?

Is there some hidden secret?

……

For a time, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty exchanged thoughts with each other that had not been known for many years. There are all kinds of speculations.

Dengwen drum sounded, no matter what His Majesty was doing at this time, he must summon the person who sounded the Dengwen drum, which is also the "welfare" of those who dare to beat the Dengwen drum to pay the eighty court battles first. After all, people are fighting for their lives.

After only a moment of panic, Zhiyuan said calmly: "Xuan! "Whoever beats the drum for whatever purpose must summon him.

The ministers below have different thoughts, but they don't dare to have other thoughts about His Majesty.

This is His Majesty's direct bloodline, and with such an authentic prince, they can't exert their strength even if they have any crooked intentions. I didn't see Your Majesty for this son, Zen let the former iron blood kill the dishonest people of the small half of the court, and now the new emperor has just been on the throne for a month, although the means are quite mild, but who knows if he will suddenly raise the butcher knife one day, half a year ago, the emperor let the bloody smell of Kyoto not be cleaned, who dares to have two hearts now?

The ministers made up their minds that no matter what this man was beating the drum for today, they must support His Majesty.

Don't blame these courtiers for having such thoughts, and generally dare to beat the drum. It's not that there is a big grievance that can't be solved, or a madman who wants to leave a name in history to find fault with the emperor, no matter which one it is, the Dengwen drum is beaten. It must have something to do with royalty. Because of the former, it is also generally related to the royal family.

Everyone couldn't help but think at this time, could it be that His Majesty did something angry and resentful before becoming the crown prince? Because I have been the prince for a few years, I really haven't heard of anything wrong with Your Majesty.

Oh, if anything, it's probably his two little devil-like brothers. How many children of the ministers' families in the DPRK and China have been bullied, a few days ago, the grandson of the secretary of the military department just bought a horse with someone on the street, and was met by those two little devils, and almost discounted the legs of the grandson;

There is also the second son of the Ministry of Rites' family, but he drank too much and grabbed the shoulders of the lady, and was hit by the two little devils, and said that the second son of the Ministry of Rites was playing with the people's girl, and shouted to break the third leg, God is pitiful, the second son of the Ministry of Rites and the waiter's family is only seventeen years old, even if he really wants to do something, he should be a young and beautiful girl, how can it be a lady in her thirties? Some people raised objections, and the two little devils still had a lot of words, and some people just had a heavy taste......

Heavy taste, heavy taste?

I think your Xu family has a heavy taste.

I don't say anything if I have the father and mother who protect the short, but His Majesty still looks like a calf protector, and the children of the Kyoto officials' families have been beaten by those two little devils.

There was a sudden thought that was clear, could it be that the two little devils of the Xu family caused some trouble outside?

Oh, if that's the case, then you can't stand out.

If it's really those two little devils who are in trouble, then everyone is still happy to see it.

But think about the tutors of the Xu family, is it possible......

For a while, the ministers had different thoughts, and when they saw that the people who had been temporarily taken care of were being carried to the court, a few people who had been to the Xu family couldn't help frowning.

This man is a little familiar.

The man was in his thirties, his thick and deep black hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his head, his thick eyebrows were frowned, and his pale face still couldn't hide the compelling momentum in his eagle eyes, even in the face of the most noble people of the Great Qi Dynasty, he still did not have the slightest timidity.

"Grass People...... Knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Zhiyuan's eyes widened in astonishment, because he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, he exclaimed, "Uncle Gu, why are you?" "Oh my God, some time ago, Uncle Gu suddenly resigned from his position as a general. Wouldn't it be just to enter Beijing to sue the royal court?

Yes, this person is Gu Dalei.

Eighty court battles, Rao took the life-saving pill first, and he also asked for half his life.

Gu Dalei was almost half-lying on the ground. Ignoring the inhalation of the ministers, Gu Dalei dragged a breath and raised the paper, "Caomin, Lei Congzhi, sue the king of Kangping County for persecuting my grandfather Lei Yuanshan twenty-five years ago...... So much so that one hundred and twenty-eight members of my Lei family asked ...... in unison."

The whole court was quiet. I only heard Gu Dalei tell the bloody case twenty-five years ago in a trembling voice.

Lei Yuanshan, the general of Sichuan and Shaanxi back then, broke the military marquis, but was suddenly reported to have colluded with the southern Tusi to rebel, His Majesty at that time was also suspicious, but the person who reported it came up with conclusive evidence, and even searched for weapons and armor in the Lei family in Kyoto, the Lei family was raided, and everyone in the family was beheaded by the angry Majesty, and no one survived.

Oh no. Now it seems that at least the Lei family has kept a child.

Everyone looked at Gu Dalei in amazement, and some old ministers looked at him tremblingly, recognizing that this person was eight points similar to Lei Yuanshan, the general of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Zhiyuan slowly calmed down after the initial shock, and sued the king of Kangping County, but it was also the emperor's grandfather's decree, although the royal family was ashamed, but the death of his own mother was ...... At this moment, Zhiyuan thought a lot.

Gu Da Lei, no, Lei Congzhi finished his narration tremblingly. Forcefully held up the paper, "Please, Your Majesty is the master of the Lei family!" "The reason why there was no advance notice was because of the royal concern. He must force His Majesty to take his pleadings in this situation.

Zhiyuan took a deep breath, "I, take it!" ”

A eunuch took the paper from Lei Congzhi's hand, he breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly fell to the ground.

Zhiyuan got up suddenly, and someone who had a quick eye helped Lei Congzhi up. "Your Majesty, he just fainted." Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time retreated from the court, he asked people to ask for a doctor, so Lei Congzhi, who complained to the royal family, was left in the palace for treatment.

Some people couldn't help but think of Tang Wunian's ambition back then, and sighed secretly.

The royal family has no affection, Your Majesty is specially arranged?

At this time, His Majesty, who was suspected, was in a hurry, "Dad, why hasn't he woken up yet?" When he was in a hurry, he couldn't help but call him wrong.

Xu Lang calmly dealt with the wound, "The blow was too heavy, fortunately, the bones were not injured, he was feverish, and he couldn't wake up for a while, Your Majesty, don't worry, you can't die." He was a little angry, He Houxue had just stopped, and Gu Dalei came out to toss again, all of them didn't stop, and didn't let people live a good life?

Gu Dalei is a heartless person, didn't he know to say hello before doing such a dangerous thing? Now that the beaten flesh and blood are lying on this corpse in a blur, doesn't he know that if he is not careful, this little life will be confessed.

Qi Gu Da Lei didn't treat them as friends, and he didn't even say hello before doing this kind of thing. was worried that he really wouldn't be able to survive, Xu Lang really wanted to arrest someone and beat him up.

Zhiyuan is the emperor, it is impossible to guard Gu Dalei all the time, and when he learned that Gu Dalei had subsided fever, he threw people to Xu Lang, and he took the important ministers to discuss the unjust case of the Lei family, the general of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

"Brother...... Why hasn't he woken up yet? Is it dead? "The white and tender little fingers poked and poked, and then poked, so strange, this person didn't wake up.

Lei Congzhi was confused, and was shocked when he heard this?

What's going on?

He decided to keep things the same.

Just listen to a milky voice and say seriously: "The ass is open, and the pain is dizzy." Lei Congzhi almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and he suddenly knew who was beside him.

So, pretend to be asleep.

Really, it's a shame for two nephews to see him spanked.

Zhijing shouted, "My brother is so fierce, he actually smashed his uncle's ass, my uncle is so pitiful." ”

Zhiming shook his head, and the little adult said: "My brother has clear rewards and punishments, it must have been Uncle Gu who did something bad to be spanked." Lei Congzhi silently swallowed the old blood, I should continue to pretend to be faint.

Zhi Jing's eyes lit up, "Could it be that he stole the delicious food from the kitchen?" ”

The steady Zhiming looked at his younger brother with disdain, "How can an adult steal food." ”

Lei Congzhi just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Zhiming's milky voice say: "It must be Uncle Gu who robbed the people's daughter or killed people and set fire." ”

"Oh." Zhi Jing understood in seconds, "No wonder my mother didn't marry Uncle Gu back then, it turns out that he is the heinous devil, no wonder he was beaten up." "If you do bad things, you really have to be beaten, and my mother really didn't lie to anyone.

"Don't talk nonsense, you are ruining your mother's reputation, how can our mother fall in love with other men."

"Also, there is no ...... in the world except for my father"

Lei Congzhi thinks. Shame on you, it's like being by these two little people.

So, he "woke up quietly", "Where am I?" He slowly opened one eye. In an instant, two baby-faced faces came together.

Zhi Jing's eyes widened, "Uncle Gu, you finally stopped pretending to be asleep?" ”

Lei Congzhi: "...... child, do your parents know that you are like this?"

Zhiming patted his younger brother, "You poke it in front of you like this, let Uncle Gu's face go somewhere." He brought warm water. Uncle Gu, don't worry, we don't know that you are pretending to be asleep and will not tell my father. ”

"Why don't you tell me?" Xu Lang came in with a medicine bowl and said with a straight face: "Let you take care of your uncle, are you naughty again?" "When Lei Congzhi was carried in, he happened to be in the court, so he took the initiative to come over to deal with his injuries.

Zhi Jing hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, Dad, Uncle Gu pretended to be asleep, we didn't poke him, and we didn't say anything about his butt being beaten." We didn't dislike him for being a heinous and bad guy......"

Lei Congzhi: "......" Xu Lang, you deliberately sent two sons to be angry with me, right?

Over there, Xu Lang couldn't help but laugh and said with a straight face: "What nonsense? "This bear kid doesn't have a quiet time all day.

"I'm not talking nonsense." The little guy was unhappy, and argued with reason, "The eldest brother said that my mother didn't take a fancy to Uncle Gu because he did heinous things, and I didn't look down on him because of this, we are good boys." ”

Zhiming: "......" This bear child is specially to pit his brother.

Xu Lang: "...... son, although I am very happy to say this, why do you still feel awkward?"

Lei Congzhi really wants to faint now, but after sleeping for two days, he is now in pain except for hunger. Come on, save yourself. The three fathers and sons are pit themselves, don't expect it at all.

"Xu Lang, are you sending me medicine?"

"Oh, yes." Xu Lang also felt embarrassed. Busy serving Lei Congzhi to drink medicine.

Just successfully changed the topic, Zhi Jing opened his mouth, and Lei Congzhi was so frightened that he almost spit out the medicine.

"Uncle Gu, don't you like my mother, why didn't you marry my mother?" Zhi Jing blinked a pair of big eyes that looked like Lin Xiao and stared at him curiously, "Is it because you did something bad and didn't like it?" The little guy faced Lei Congzhi. So I didn't see my father's ugly face.

Lei Congzhi looked at the medicine bowl on his lips, and then looked at Xu Lang with an ugly face, he thought that a man would probably have to be angry at this time, the problem is, he really didn't do anything.

The little guy didn't notice the complicated thoughts of the adults at all, and when he saw that Lei Congzhi didn't answer, he urged him, "Uncle Gu, you said, I'm still waiting." ”

Xu Lang felt that if he didn't stop his son, he would easily hurt his liver. "Let's drink the medicine first, Zhiming, and take your brother out to play." Zhijing, this bastard boy, must slap him hard when he turns around, and let him talk nonsense.

Zhiming gave his younger brother a look, and Zhijing was still insisting, "But I'm curious, the nerd uncle also likes his mother, and Uncle Gu also likes his mother, why did his mother marry his father......"

couldn't bear it, Xu Lang said angrily: "That's because I'm excellent." "You can't see that?

Zhi Jingcai was not afraid of him, and said loudly: "Dad, you are a liar, your nerd uncle is the champion, and you are not." ”

Xu Lang: "......"

Zhiming saw that his father was unhappy, and he wanted to stop his younger brother, but he couldn't help himself and was curious, so he whispered: "Dad, is it because Uncle Gu has done something bad?" "That's why my mother doesn't like him.

Zhi Jing immediately denied it, "But Uncle Nerd is a good person." "I won't spank like my father.

Lei Congzhi drank the medicine and closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep, he felt that he should continue to "faint" at this time.

Xu Lang felt that his head was too big, and this thing with a child was really not something that normal people could do. My two sons are so naughty, how did the girls bring them?

"Your uncle is recuperating from his injuries, let's talk about it when I get home." Xu Lang didn't want to teach the children outside, so he glared at them, which was counted as a warning.

But the two little ones still didn't appreciate it, and Zhijing took her curiosity about the baby's talent to the extreme, "Dad, you're running away, it's not right." ”

Xu Lang held his forehead painfully, "Zhiming, take your brother to play outside." "He's got some business to do, and he doesn't have the time to pay attention to these two little ones.

"But Dad, we won't leave until the problem is solved."

……

"Bang Bang ......"

"Ah, Dad. Why did you hit me, I obviously didn't get into trouble. "Directly beaten, screaming.

Zhiming was frightened and pleaded, "Dad." Don't be angry, my brother didn't mean to, you hit me......"

Lei Congzhi couldn't pretend anymore, "Xu Lang, don't beat the child...... "How can you get this?" Why do you still do it?

When Lin Xiao came over, it was a mess in the house. Looking at her angry husband, she blinked strangely, "Zhiming, what is your brother in trouble again?" "The child is still young, didn't he make a big mistake Xu Lang rarely beats the child, what's wrong with it today?

"Mother's ......" Zhijing's big eyes were full of tears, and she didn't get up when she fell into Lin Xiao's arms, and this soft little appearance suddenly made Lin Xiao's heart melt. Zhijing, don't cry, tell your mother, what's going on? Glancing at Xu Lang secretly, the warning was full of meaning. actually beat his son outside. Look at Zhijing's grievances, this child is generally not wronged and will not cry when he is beaten, and he has already been beaten on weekdays.

"Mother, my father doesn't care about us anymore, and he still beats me." Zhijing didn't see her father's face, and cried: "I asked Uncle Gu why my mother didn't marry him, and my father beat me, woo...... Mother, we must not be born to our father......"

Xu Lang: Who is "......" who is not my own? He glared at the trouble-making kid fiercely, this stinky boy must have beaten himself lightly.

Over there, Lin Xiao's face froze. Knowing that it was too complicated to tell the children, they couldn't understand it, so he said: "Don't talk nonsense, you look the same as your father, how can you not be born to your father." ”

Zhijing sniffled. "Then ......" looked at his father's ugly face, the little guy shrunk his neck, "That mother, my father doesn't care about us, you can remarry." ”

Xu Lang: "Xu Zhijing! "If this bastard dares to say this again, he will really beat him. It's not like the thunder and rain just now.

Zhiming hurriedly went to his younger brother, "My brother is not allowed to talk nonsense." ”

Lin Xiao also slapped his son, "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, otherwise your mother will really punish you." She paused and patiently explained: "Because my father and mother are in love, I got married, not because of who did good or bad things...... If you remarry in the future, don't say it again, that's not a good thing, and those who don't know it will think your father has done something bad. ”

Xu Lang: "...... daughter-in-law, are you really good at saying this?"

Lei Congzhi secretly sighed, fortunately he didn't marry this girl back then, look at her thinking, she specializes in tricking people...... Lighting wax for Xu Lang in his heart, he was ready to continue pretending to be dizzy.

It's a pity that Lin Xiao didn't give him a chance.

"Okay, you also know, my father and mother love each other, so I got married and had you, good, go and see if your eldest brother is in the next court, and my father and mother have something to talk to your uncle."

Seeing that Lin Xiao easily solved the two little devils, Xu Lang looked surprised, "This is the end?" "I knew it was so easy to do, what nonsense did he talk to them.

"So what do you think?" Lin Xiao glanced at him, "Don't lie to children, they are still young, what can they understand." "It's just a four- or five-year-old child, a lot of things are curious, the more you don't tell them, the more curious you are, it's better to explain it to them, and it's fine.

Lin Xiao came here to see Lei Congzhi on purpose, and when he saw him pretending to be asleep, he unceremoniously pierced it. "You have such a big heart, you can still fall asleep at this time." Hearing that he was almost killed, Lin Xiao was so angry that he died. Can this bastard have a little more brains, even if he doesn't think about himself, he doesn't think about the two sons in the family? It's okay to knock on the drum, you knock it when you knock it, can't you say hello in advance?

Lei Congzhi said: The feelings of those two boys are with their mother, no wonder they are so abrasive.

He pretended to wake up, "It's Lin Xiao." "I don't know what to say.

Lin Xiao snorted, "I didn't expect to see me alive." Glancing at the thin quilt on his waist, he was embarrassed to lift it. Obviously a problem that can be solved well, you have to make such a fuss, I think you have a lot of good life, the skin is tight! ”

Lei Congzhi looked at Xu Lang and said solemnly: "I think I must have been blind back then to fall in love with this woman." Then he looked at Xu Lang with a sympathetic expression.

Xu Lang: "......" What kind of eyes do you have?

Lin Xiao was unmoved, and sneered: "Fortunately, I didn't fall blind to you." "It's just a brain that kicks the donkey.

Lei Congzhi: "...... Lin Xiao, are you here to see me or are you angry with me? "Didn't you see that people just woke up, and they drank a bowl of black medicinal soup, can your family still do it?

Lei Congzhi regretted it, he knew this, so he picked a case when their family was not in Kyoto to sue.

Lin Xiao finally stopped being angry with him, and asked people to bring food in, "Okay, let's eat first." "When I'm so angry with you when I'm fine, don't I get angry at you for looking like you're half dead.

Of course, Lei Congzhi knew that Lin Xiao was worried about him, so he didn't say much.

Xu Lang brought the food over, he ate a little simply, and then asked about the situation of the previous dynasty.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will take care of it." Xu Lang knew that Zhiyuan had long wanted to solve Tang Wunian's family, and Lei Congzhi sent him an introduction.

In the evening, Lei Congzhi was taken to the county king's mansion.

A month later, His Majesty tried the secret self of the year, and the king of Kangping was demoted to a concubine and imprisoned for life. Since then, there has been no Kangping County Palace, and Tang Wunian's family has also been demoted from Kyoto. Fortunately, His Majesty was merciful, and the princess of Kangping County was sick in bed, and specially allowed them to leave later.

Lei Congzhi restored his identity, and the Broken Army Marquis Mansion was renovated and was given to Lei Congzhi by His Majesty, knowing his handsome talent, Zhiyuan intended to send Lei Congzhi to Sichuan and Shaanxi to guard.

Lei Congzhi thanked the emperor, and at the same time brought his wife and children who were far away in Youzhou Mansion to Kyoto, those brothers who followed him back then had long been whitewashed, and now some of them are in Kyoto, some of them are in Fangzheng Carriage and Horses, and some of them live in Black Bear Ridge, and they are just ordinary people on the surface, but they actually protect his wife and children. This time, Lei Congzhi also took his brothers to his side, which can be regarded as his own team.

The daughter-in-law was pregnant again, and Lei Congzhi didn't want to take them to Sichuan and Shaanxi, so he left them in Kyoto and entrusted them to Xu Lang and Lin Xiao to take care of.

In Kyoto, the original Kangping County Royal Mansion had already been taken off the brand, but fortunately, His Majesty was merciful and allowed Tang Wunian's family to live temporarily.

On this day, the old mansion of the king of Kangping County, which everyone avoids, welcomes a special guest.

Tang Wunian looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes, and there was something in his eyes that flashed and disappeared, but it was so fast that people couldn't grasp it.

Kneeling on the ground, saluting, everything is so embarrassing, but it seems to be taken for granted. "Grass people Tang Wunian, knock to see the king of the county."

Xu Lang floated a handful, "Tang Wunian, this king is here today to fulfill the agreement of the year." Back then, he had promised this person to cure his leg disease, and naturally he would do what he said. Now that the dust has settled, he doesn't have so many scruples.

Tang Wunian was in a trance for a moment, looked at his legs, and then looked at Xu Lang, and finally there was some light in his eyes.

"In this case, thank you to the king of the county."

Three months later, Tang Wunian, who had completely recovered from his leg disease, left Kyoto with his family, and Wen Ren Haonan and Xu Lang stood on the city gate and looked at the family traveling far away, and sighed.

"Actually, this may not be a good thing for Tang Wunian."

Xu Lang nodded, but didn't say anything.

Who can say for sure?

Tang Wunian lost his noble status, but he was cured of his leg disease, and since then, he has no chance to be on the throne, so he naturally rests a lot of thoughts that he shouldn't have. It's a good thing for everyone to look at, who knows what he thinks.

But it doesn't matter now, now that Your Majesty is in the prime of life and the DPRK is stable, it is time for Your Majesty to show his strength.

That night, Xu Lang hugged the little girl in his arms and whispered: "Now that Zhiming and Zhijing are also seven years old, I think we should continue to see the rivers and mountains that we haven't seen." ”

The little girl in her arms nodded in a daze, "Well, I've packed all my things, and I can leave tomorrow." ”

She will always be the one who knows him best.

Three days later, Zhiyuan received a farewell letter, followed by a dog-beating stick...... (To be continued.) )
