In the second year of Emperor Jing, that is, in 148 BC. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

March is already the deepening of spring, and the flowers are gorgeous.

The wind still carries a slight chill. The sun was shining on me, but it was already very warm.

The courtyard is deep, and spring is in full swing. The Queen Mother's palace is quiet from the inside to the outside, as if even the sound of colorful butterflies flapping their wings on the flower branches lingering in the courtyard can be heard, and there is a faint sound of rebuke. The small palace serving at the door was so low that it almost touched the ground, and the queen mother had just dropped people in the morning, and the whole palace was silent, for fear of making a mistake. The Queen Mother hasn't been angry for a long time, but it's because of this that it's terrifying.

As soon as Gillian and her mother entered the temple, someone served to take off their cloaks. Gillian heard the palace people tell the Empress Dowager Guantao in a low voice, Guantao nodded to her to indicate that she knew, and led Gillian to walk in.

Liu Rong committed suicide, don't you get angry?

Although there is no father and son in the heavenly family, Liu Rong, as the former prince, naturally has many taboos. However, when a person dies, he still commits suicide. If he is still alive, the Empress Dowager Dou will definitely ask Liu Che to guard against him in the future, let him be an idle king, and not let him regenerate the heart that he shouldn't have.

But now people are dead, or they are committing suicide. She is the empress dowager of the Han family, but she is more of an ordinary grandmother, and she took the letter of plead written by Liu Rong in prison sent by Dou Ying, which is also the last last book. I couldn't help but cry, and all the pity of the past came up.

Liu Rong is her first grandson, and she still clearly remembers the night she gave birth to Liu Rong, and she sat until the third watch. Finally, someone from the palace came to report the good news and said that he was born, and he was the prince.

The eldest grandson naturally placed a lot of expectations, especially the queen who has not produced anything for more than 20 years. He grew up little by little, although he was more than loyal, but not spiritual. But to be an emperor, it's good to be a king.

Later, his mother couldn't, and the emperor wanted to make him a crown prince. She also had nothing to say, but now she forced him to death. For the non-lethal crime of occupying the temple land to build a palace, he was severely interrogated, and he was not even allowed to write to Emperor Jing.

It was Dou Ying who quietly sent someone to send a knife and pen.

She held Liu Rong's masterpiece tightly and said, and called Huangmen in a fierce voice: "Send it to the emperor to see, I refuse to see the last side, let's take a look at this letter of apology." The palace man knelt down and took it with both hands, and Dorno hurried away.

Guan Tao sat next to his mother and gently helped her mother wipe away the tears on her face. Empress Dowager Dou was still hateful and said: "This goshawk is really majestic, the mourning family has rewarded him for his outspoken advice before, and the capital says that he is not afraid of the powerful and enforces the law very strictly." But it turned out to be a dog, Qi'er is really ruthless. ”

The goshawk that the Empress Dowager Dou said was Zhidu, he was loyal and selfless, fair and honest, and was promoted to lieutenant because of his remarkable achievements in governing Jinan. Law enforcement is strict and does not avoid the royal family, so it is called a goshawk. Liu Rong was interrogated by him and died in Chang'an Prison.

Guan Tao comforted the Empress Dowager Dou softly: "Queen Mother, Zhidu has always been like this, I'm afraid that I will send the prince to stand up for him." You hate him for his petty sin and forced Rong'er to death, just give him death, don't be angry. ”?

Gillian didn't care about thinking about her mother's words as the eldest princess, and said that killing the important ministers of the court was as easy as asking the maid which hairpin to insert this morning. What her grandmother said made her heart tremble, Uncle Emperor?

Also, there was no instruction from my uncle. Such a sin is not small, but big is not big. Why didn't Zhidu let Liu Rong go to the book? The palace of the king of Linjiang is to be expanded, and he will not occupy the land of the ancestral temple. Liu Rong is loyal, but he is not stupid. I'm afraid that even this crime is also problematic, Liu Rong also figured out that it was his father who forced him to die and committed suicide to consolidate his position for the new prince.

Emperor Jing was clearing mines for Liu Che, and he did what Liu Che would be difficult to do in the future. A father's heart is really remarkable, but Liu Rong is also your son, isn't he?

There is no father and son in the heavenly family, this is the fate of the loser.

Gillian knew that she had no position to sympathize with Liu Rong, and the current result was the best for her and Liu Che in terms of interests, but she was still cold-blooded for such a cold-blooded person. She couldn't convince her grandmother, she couldn't say that it had nothing to do with her uncle.

She didn't want to hear it any longer, and she quietly withdrew.

She suddenly wanted to see Liu Che and see the actual beneficiary. The position of emperor is stained with the blood of many people, the bones of many people, and the tears of many people. Does the nine-year-old know? Is it true that the emperor's heart will be inherently colder than others?

Or maybe she needs him to be sane and tell her that it's all right, that the world works this way, that she's out of place.

She woke up when she walked to the Yilan Palace, Liu Che is the crown prince, and she doesn't live here anymore. He is now living in the Han Bing Palace, but she is still going here subconsciously.

She turned around and was just about to leave, when the door of the palace opened, and a small yellow door ran to say that the prince was invited. She was a little surprised, Liu Che was here? followed Xiao Huangmen into the hall but did not see Liu Che. Looking around, there was no one else in the temple.

She glanced at the small yellow door, which was not very big, and was about to ask him.

Xiao Huangmen had already knelt down: "Lord Weng, the prince has not come out since he entered this hall in the morning, and he doesn't want slaves and maids to serve." Fortunately, you came, and the slave and maid took it upon themselves to invite you in. Please also advise Your Highness to take care of your body and eat. He kowtowed as he spoke, and in a moment his forehead was bruised.

Gillian glanced at him and nodded. Without speaking, he went in.

She found Liu Che in that small dark room, and he was thinking about something when she entered, and he didn't even notice when she entered.

She stepped forward and whispered to him several times before he came to his senses. Seeing that it was her, his expression relaxed: "Sister Gillian, why did you come?" ”

Gillian sat down beside him: "I don't know, I forgot about it for a while and came here." She glanced at Liu Che and asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Che's eyes showed sadness: "Big brother is dead." "He doesn't like big brother, but he just doesn't. In the end, blood is thicker than water, and when the eldest brother really died, he was almost out of breath in his heart. The queen mother was secretly overjoyed, and his nameless anger added another layer.

Liu Che took a deep look at Gillian and said bluntly: "He died because of me, and it was his father who killed him." His tone was sad, and his eyes were gloomy.

Gillian was frightened and distressed by his early wisdom, and had long forgotten her dissatisfaction with Liu Che for no reason. She couldn't help but have a sour nose when she looked at him who was only nine years old and was already about to face cruelty and blood, and couldn't help but hug him like she usually comforted her.

Liu Che was stunned for a moment and put his head on her shoulder. patted her with his hand and comforted her: "Sister Gillian, don't comfort me, I don't deserve comfort." His tears finally flowed, soaking Gillian's shoulders.

Gillian understood what he meant, he could be sad for his brother to commit suicide for "fear of sin", but he couldn't be sad because he knew that Emperor Jing forced Liu Rong to death, which would chill Emperor Jing's heart for him.

I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.

Liu Che didn't kill him, let alone kill him. But Liu Rong did die because of him, and his heart was full of guilt, anxiety, sadness and anger.

He is only nine years old, and he is not the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who killed people like hemp in later generations, and even killed his son and daughter without frowning.

Gillian's heart is full of sourness, her grandmother is distressed, and Liu Che is even more sad. She hugged Liu Che tightly and didn't say anything more. What could she say? She couldn't say anything, she couldn't say that her uncle was wrong, and she couldn't say it to make Liu Che's heart a little colder and harder.

Empress Dowager Dou did not kill Zhidu in the end, and Emperor Jing dismissed him and returned home.

In a few months, several counties along the border were in an emergency. The beacon fire on the side of the Xiongnu iron cavalry can even be seen from afar in Ganquan Palace, and the Han Dynasty has no powerful frontier history, so the Goshawk Zhi has been activated again.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty sent a special envoy to Yang County, Hedong County, Zhidu's hometown, worshiped him as the Taishou of Yanmen County, ordered him to fight against the Xiongnu, and authorized him not to go to the court to thank him according to the convention, and to go directly to the post from his home, "to be able to do it cheaply"; All matters shall be decided as appropriate, first and last.

Zhidu was famous, and only when he arrived in Yanmen County, the Hun cavalry retreated, far away from Yanmen. "The Huns have heard of the Zhidu Festival, and they live on the side, in order to lead the troops, they can't even get close to Yanmen." Spring and autumn penmanship, neither praise nor depreciation. When he became the emperor, the minister Gu Yong praised him: "Zhao Youlian Po, Ma Fu, Qiang Qin did not dare to peep into the soldiers; In the near Han Dynasty, there were Zhidu and Wei Shang, and the Xiongnu did not dare to go south to the sand curtain. He was praised as "the general of the war and the minions of the country." ”

The goshawk eventually broke its wings and fell from the blue sky.

Empress Dowager Dou heard the rumors about Zhidu colluding with the Huns, knowing that it was false, because she had old hatred in her heart, she used this as an excuse to condemn Zhidu. Emperor Jing interceded for him, saying that he was loyal. Empress Dowager Dou asked him tragically, isn't Liu Rong a loyal minister? Empress Dowager Dou couldn't take her grandson's grudge on Emperor Jing, she could only vent her resentment on Zhidu. Why didn't Empress Dowager Dou know that Emperor Jing was Liu Che's heart? Why don't you know that Zhi is a loyal minister? But this hatred is hard to get rid of.

Emperor Jing was speechless, and in the end, Zhi was given death.

The goshawk fell.

A few months after Zhidu's death, the Hun cavalry re-invaded Yanmen.

Gillian has a more complicated feeling about Zhidu, and Zhidu, as a cool history, was the first to advocate strict punishment and strict laws in the Han Dynasty, where the folk customs were simple. But it's more of a respect for this iron-clad goshawk who resists external humiliation, it's a pity that he died, but she doesn't have anything to do.
