Chapter 158: The Ducks on the Shelf Return to Their Hometowns
Qin Geng knew about the fateful friendship between Emperor Jingyuan and Basil, but it was related to his Luo's family's grievances, and he couldn't calm down even if he wanted to. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I have lived incognito until now, I just want to correct the name of my Luo clan Zhaoxue, since the emperor has the emperor's plan, then I don't dare to count on the emperor, I can only do my best to do this."
Emperor Jing Yuan closed his eyes and shouted heavily, Qin Gang was not afraid at all, his eyes were burning.
"I know that you are wronged, and I know that you are unwilling, but Qianmo, isn't it wronged in my heart? The concubine I have always trusted, the son who was raised by my own hands, has always been a docile sheep in my heart, but who knew that the two of them were man-eating wolves in sheep's clothing!
"Yes, Nangong Xue killed your father, and also harmed your Luo clan, until now she is still burdened with the crime of intent to rebel against the Litong foreign clan, I can't wait to hang her on the city gate to show the public for a year to wash away their grievances, but I can't, I'm not afraid that everyone in the world will poke at my backbone and say that I am a faint king who is fascinated by women, but I do have the selfishness to protect the fourth child!"
Emperor Jingyuan sighed heavily, and continued: "I was born to enjoy peace, I don't have to die nine times like Taizu to sit on top of this Jinluan Palace, I am the third generation of the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty, from the founding of Taizu to today, Dayu has only let the people live a good life for more than forty years, I can't let such a peaceful and prosperous era be ruined in my hands!" ”
Unexpectedly, Emperor Jingyuan said farther and farther, Qin Gang couldn't help but interrupt him and said: "The emperor is serious, I just want the emperor to give me a fair statement for the Luo clan, where it will involve Jiangshan Sheji." ”
"You don't have to pretend to be confused in front of me, Qianmo, I don't believe that Lan'er, a little woman, can see through things, but you can't see through it."
"The minister is stupid, and the emperor praised it falsely."
Emperor Jing Yuan felt that he was hurt by Qin Geng's lungs, but this matter was indeed unfair to him, so he had no choice but to stare dryly, eager to pull Nangong Xue in front of him and slap him dozens of times in one go.
Du Zhong, who was sandwiched between Emperor Jing Yuan and Qin Gang, tried hard to inhale and collect his stomach, trying to minimize his presence.
However, it may be that he inhaled too loudly, and Emperor Jing Yuan suddenly focused his eyes on him, and said angrily: "Du Zhong, do you think it is feasible for me to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Basil?!" ”
Du Zhongxin said that he was really afraid of something, he really wanted to make a crack in the ground so that he could get in and hide, but Emperor Jing Yuan's knife-like sharp gaze made him have nothing to hide, so he had to secretly glance at Qin Geng, and said to Emperor Jing Yuan: "Emperor Shengming." ”
Emperor Jing Yuan put his hands behind his back and said to Qin Gang: "See, this is my loyal minister. ”
As soon as Du Zhong heard Emperor Jing Yuan's words, he knelt on his knees with a puff and opened his mouth to plead guilty, "The emperor forgives the sin, it is really a matter of the harem, and the minister does not dare to say anything." ”
"Du Aiqing, I remember that when the former Emperor Ruizong favored Concubine Cao Xian and was about to abolish the crown prince and set up the prince born to her, you were the first person to speak out against it in the court, why don't you have the momentum of the year now, it seems that it is really time for you to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown."
Du Zhong's heart tightened, he didn't expect that such a ruthless thing as unloading the mill and killing the donkey would happen to him.
Emperor Jing Yuan looked at Du Zhong, who had everything on his face, walked up to him and said, "Du Aiqing, you have assisted the four princes in the past few years, and I will not treat you badly, so you can rest assured, Chang Fu." ”
Chang Fu appeared outside the door of the main hall and replied: "The old slave is here, I don't know what the emperor commands?" ”
Emperor Jingyuan asked Chang Fu to fetch five hundred taels of gold and five hundred taels of silver, Chang Fu twisted and twisted, and after a short time, he came back with two little eunuchs holding trays, stood in front of Du Zhong and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, this real money and silver are all rewarded by the emperor, hurry up and thank you." ”
"Du Aiqing, I remember your ancestral hometown in Lingnan, this time you go to the mountains and the road is far away, these gold and silver are the entanglements I gave you, and then I will make an order, and order someone to build a big mansion for you in Lingnan, just choose a good place with green mountains and green waters, when you and your wife have nothing to do, you can play nearby."
Du Zhong looked at the shining gold and silver on the tray, like looking at a snake spitting bright red letters, and his heart sank to the deepest.
Chang Fu said with a smile on the side: "The Prime Minister's face is not happy, but you think the emperor has given you too little gold and silver?" ”
Du Zhongxin said that you are an old eunuch, this is also said casually, fortunately, the emperor is not as careful as the previous emperor, otherwise with your words, where is my good life, so he hurriedly squeezed out a smile on his face, and clenched his fists with both hands to thank Emperor Jingyuan.
"Du Aiqing, you are going to the mountains and rivers, I am very worried, so let's do it, I will send a team of royal forest soldiers to escort you, and I will also give you a few helpers, if there is anything inconvenient on the road, you can just tell them."
Du Zhongxin said that the emperor, you said it well, this is to send me a helper, you are always worried about the yacha I specially sent. Du Zhong's heart is like a broken house with a broken roof and a cold wind pouring cold wind into it, and it is cold everywhere, which is in response to the old saying that rabbits and dead dogs cook.
Emperor Jing Yuan didn't care that Du Zhong's smile was more ugly than crying, and he kept saying thoughtfully: "Du Aiqing, there is anything else I didn't think of, just say that no matter what aspect of clothing, food, housing and transportation, I should always iron and iron your heart." ”
"With the emperor's words, the ministers are very content, and they have nothing to ask for."
"The sixth day after tomorrow is a good day to travel, I won't go to see Aiqing off when I am entangled in government affairs, and I will drink three cups with Aiqing today, and I should see Aiqing off."
Chang Fu heard Emperor Jingyuan's words, and waved the dust in his hand to the little eunuch behind him, and the little eunuch ran away, and in a blink of an eye, he brought a pot of fine wine and two white jade wine glasses.
Emperor Jing Yuan personally filled the cup with Du Zhong, and handed the wine glass to Du Zhong with both hands, and then said: "Du Aiqing has worked hard for the country all his life, and I wish you a peaceful old age." ”
I don't know if Du Zhong was moved by Emperor Jing Yuan's words, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, and he took the wine glass with both hands and drank it all before he choked up and said Thank the Emperor.
After the two glasses of wine, Emperor Jing Yuan didn't say anything, Du Zhong also drank it without saying a word, and after the little eunuch who sent the wine retreated, Emperor Jing Yuan said: "It is estimated that Aiqing's family has a lot to clean up, and I will no longer delay you, go ahead......"
Du Zhong's eyes were still a layer of moisture just now, but now they all condensed into large teardrops, rolling down his slightly old cheeks.
Qin Gang watched coldly from the side, and saw Du Zhong take a step back, kneel down in front of Emperor Jing Yuan, bury his head on the ground and choked and said, "Minister Du Zhong, farewell to the emperor." ”
