Chapter 145: Relief
The two brothers went out of the palace together, and Liu Tong sent King Rui back to King Rui's mansion first, and then rushed to his prince's mansion slowly.
He was a little preoccupied, his expression was also very gloomy, and there was no smile on his face.
Chang Runzhi accompanied him for lunch, and the people took down the dishes and served tea.
Chang Runzhi took the tea and handed it to him, and said softly: "There is a batch of live ducks sent from the Zhuangzi over there, how about I make you an eight-treasure duck to eat at night?" ”
Liu Tong's diet likes to be light, but it does not prevent him from loving food, especially the meals cooked by Chang Runzhi himself, he can always sweep them away.
In the past, Chang Runzhi said that he wanted to cook, Liu Tong ordered with great interest, and today Chang Runzhi mentioned that he wanted to cook, but Liu Tong was absent-minded, and he didn't even seem to listen to it, but he nodded dispensably, and his eyes stared at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup.
Chang Runzhi sighed secretly, approached him, took the tea cup in his hand, and brought Liu Tong's mind back.
"What's going on?" Chang Runzhi asked him softly: "When you went out this morning, you still looked vigorous, why did you become a little depressed when you came back?" What happened to the early chaoshang? ”
Liu Tong pursed his lips, wanting to open his mouth to tell Chang Runzhi what happened in the morning, but he felt that because of his impulsive recklessness today, he still affected King Rui, and he felt self-loathing, and in the face of Chang Runzhi's inquiry, he was almost ashamed to speak.
Seeing that he looked conflicted but didn't say anything, Chang Runzhi couldn't help but say: "This matter needs to be kept secret?" ”
"No......" Liu Tong frowned slightly and said softly: "I'm just ...... Some can't be spoken. ”
Chang Runzhi looked at him quietly with a teacup.
Liu Tong has always liked Chang Runzhi's gaze when he stared at him, in such a gaze, he felt that he was tolerated and soothed, and he was able to gradually calm down his anxious mood under such a gaze.
Liu Tong was silent for a moment, and sighed softly after a while.
Then, he briefly told Chang Runzhi what happened in the morning today.
"If it weren't for the purpose of stopping me, the fifth brother would not have stood up and mentioned "The Law of Great Wei", so that my father and emperor would have to do it against the Qi and Lu families." Liu Tong's voice gradually lowered: "I think it's all my fault." ”
Chang Runzhi couldn't help but reach out and hold Liu Tong's hand, and he didn't know what to say to comfort him for a while.
Changing places, if she were Liu Tong, she would not have been able to do such restraint from him.
After a long time, Chang Runzhi said softly: "That's not your fault, if you want to say it's wrong, it should also be the fault of the saint." ”
Liu Tong looked at Chang Runzhi in surprise, and couldn't believe that she would say so bluntly that it was Emperor Yuanwu's fault.
"As a monarch, the Holy Lord is scruples about this and that, and lacks the courage to rectify the Great Wei moths; As a father, the Holy One cannot reconcile the relationship between his sons...... Speaking of which, the source is still in the Holy One. ”
Chang Runzhi smiled at Liu Tong: "So, it's not your fault, presumably King Rui won't blame you." He should be happy to have a brother like you who fights for him. ”
"But it's because of me that I've dragged the fifth brother back......" Liu Tong felt a little more relaxed, but he was still worried about the consequences caused by his reckless impulsiveness.
Chang Runzhi thought for a while and said, "Then you can think like this, in the end, the Holy Lord ordered you to go to Yanzhou, and instead of King Rui to arrest those people, God asked you to compensate King Rui." Otherwise, maybe this errand will end up on King Rui. ”
Although Liu Tong knew that because of King Rui's leg injury, it would not be King Rui's turn to go to Yanzhou to arrest the criminal, but when he heard Chang Runzhi say this, he felt a lot better.
Speaking of going to Yanzhou, Liu Tong couldn't help but feel guilty about Chang Runzhi.
"Since I married you, I haven't been with you for anything, and now I'm going to go out again......" Liu Tong held Chang Runzhi's hand and said apologetically: "Runzhi, don't bother me." ”
"No, it won't." Chang Runzhi shook his head, thought for a while, and said: "Last time you left in a hurry, and you had to take care of King Rui, you didn't bring me a gift when you came back after walking for so long, well, otherwise, you went to Yanzhou this time, remember to bring me some gifts back?" Double! When I saw the gift, I forgave you for it. ”
Liu Tong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You are so coaxing." ”
"Others want to coax, but I don't want to coax it." Chang Runzhi wrinkled his little nose, and reached out to pinch Liu Tong's face: "When are you going to leave for Yanzhou?" I've got to pack you up...... Hey, I won't see this handsome guy's face for a long time. ”
Liu Tong still remembers Chang Runzhi said, "rate" is to praise him for his good looks, and he was praised by his wife for his appearance, Liu Tong felt a little proud at the same time, but also a little shy.
"How can anyone say that men are good-looking." Liu Tong pretended to cough, and said with a straight face: "Madame should obediently pack up for her husband, and she will leave for Yanzhou in the past two days." ”
Chang Runzhi snorted lightly and reluctantly responded: "Yes, husband, the concubine knows." ”
Liu Tong smiled, stretched out his arm to take her to his side, and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead when the love was strong, and the little couple were tired of being together.
At the same time, Emperor Yuanwu in the palace was stepping into the Qinzheng Hall with a calm face.
King Zhu had been hanging here for a noon, and Emperor Yuanwu ordered him to kneel, and did not let the chamberlain prepare lunch for him.
At this time, King Zhu was already hungry and depressed.
Hearing the movement, King Zhu hurriedly straightened up, and when he saw that the person who came was Emperor Yuanwu, he immediately said: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong, and the son ......."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Yuanwu drank him, sat down on the table, and first read a few books of proceedings and Chinese decrees, and then slowly raised his head and looked at King Zhu.
"Ji Guangmiao, I have already let people rescue him. Tell me why you want to detain this Yanzhou scholar who sued the emperor? ”
Emperor Yuanwu asked directly, but King Zhu was not good at lying, he was stared at by Emperor Yuanwu, and his eyes were nowhere to be placed, so he said for a long time: "Erchen, Erchen received silver, so ......"
"Whose money did you take, so what?" Emperor Yuanwu held the imperial pen in his hand, and Zhu criticized the chapter and Chen Tiao, but the question was not interrupted.
I wish the king sweat on his forehead, but he felt that he must have said too much and made many mistakes, so he did not dare to say more.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Emperor Yuanwu's face became even heavier, and he threw out a few books from the table and threw them in front of King Zhu, who was kneeling.
In those chapters, it is recorded that when someone in the Lu family committed a crime in previous years, King Zhu came forward to solve several cases, including two unjust cases concocted by King Zhu himself to eradicate dissidents for the Lu family.
"Take a good look at me, and after you're done, you can explain it to me well."
Emperor Yuanwu snorted heavily, and no matter how cold a sweat King Zhu was when he took the chapter, he only cared about the things in his hands.
When he finally dealt with the few books stacked on the table, he slowly stood up and walked from behind the table to King Zhu. (To be continued.) )
