Chapter 33: The Marriage in June
Today is really a difficult day, since the man in white took Zhao Ruoxin away, Pu Yi's family has been in a hurry, Luzhu was rare not to be beaten and scolded, he secretly went to the kitchen to eat a good meal, and when he turned around, he was bumped into by Aunt Cao, Aunt Cao did not scold her for the first time, but muttered with red eyes: "Eat, eat, eat as much as you can, let's eat as much as you can, today we are full of wine and meat, if it's not enough, Aunt Cao will make it for you again"
The old lady and Pu Yi's family are still wiping their tears in the courtyard, since it is the emperor's holy decree, Gui Xiaogao is gone, there will always be a bigger official, compared with the previous situation, Pu Yi's love is already much better, he already has Zhao Ruoxin's method of lifting water, and he has confidence in his heart, even if the emperor recognizes him as a substitute for the dead, it is a big deal to dedicate the method, how can he mix the family house safely.
There was a sound of fighting from outside the gate, and from the gate that had been smashed before, this time even the Ouchi guards in the palace came, and the battle was naturally not comparable to just now.
Pu Yi smiled at the family members around him: "It's okay, I'll go out and have a look, I can come back tomorrow at most, Su Bottle, Changqin, take care of grandma, clean up, and take you back to the Northern Desert when Ming'er Dad comes back."
Mrs. Pu next to her touched her tears: "You said that you are not stupid, you should have figured out this reason earlier, we will not come to the capital, what is wrong with the family staying in the Northern Desert and farming, you always regard yourself as very important, as if the emperor can't control the world without you Pu Yi!" ”
Pu Yi's dark face smiled apologetically: "I understand, madam, you are right, after today, I, Pu Yi, will no longer be self-righteous, tomorrow we will set off back to the Northern Desert, help Qiao Lao Er build a house, drink him and Cao Xing's wedding wine, and in the future, I will take my wife to herd sheep during the day, and at night we will lie on the grassland together to watch the stars, and wait for Changqin and Su Bottle to become relatives and have children." Let's take our grandson to run all over the grassland again, what do you say? ”
"Ahem"
Mrs. Pu coughed twice, and smiled shyly with a pale and slightly old face: "This is what you said personally, you can't go back."
Get out the door. Pu Yi pondered for a short time, and was about to say Lord Zhu, if the official is going with you, he suddenly saw a red shadow under the white moonlight appear at the end of his vision.
Zhao Ruoxin walked over to the majestic man on a big horse with a calm face: "This lord, what you want to arrest is the murderer who destroyed the family of the Dong Mansion Manmen and the squire of the Criminal Department!" ”
The man on the tall horse had a gloomy and terrible face. The black gauze hats of the two horned ears trembled slightly, and his hands shook and pulled the reins, and the horse that sat down neighed.
He said in a deep voice: "This official is ordered to take the Pufu up and down, and the idle people will retreat, otherwise they will be beheaded according to the protest order."
"Huh"
Zhao Ruoxin's face under the moonlight was flat, but her laughter was very cold, and she said: "Is it that the emperor doesn't have a brain, or you don't have a brain, if the Pu Mansion can have such a ability, destroy Dong Hanlin Mansion and the Criminal Department Shilang Mansion." Still here waiting for you to catch it? Do you want me to kill your whole family to believe that this is not done by Pufu? ”
"Bold! You insulted the emperor as much as you wanted."
Zhu Tingju was obviously taken aback by Zhao Ruoxin's words, the reins in his hand shook again, and the horse that sat down retreated several steps in a row: "You, you dare to threaten this official?" Someone came and took this suspect down to the official."
The cruelty on Zhao Ruoxin's face became a little stronger, she turned her head and smiled softly at Pu Yi, who had just walked to the gate, and then turned around and said, "I'll go with you, but if you dare to touch a person in Pufu, I will even kill your family."
You can choose not to believe me, but you should believe that Gu Jianshan Murder One is very professional, as the saying goes. There is only one day to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days"
"Take it, take it, take it down for Benguang"
Gu Jianshan's three words are more effective than saying more. This Zhu Tingju was so frightened that he pulled the reins and took a few steps back before stopping.
Things were surprisingly smooth, and the masters of the fight in the alley came over and clicked dozens of times on Zhao Ruoxin's body before giving a big mouthful.
The person who shot replied: "Master Zhu, all the meridians of her body have been sealed, and she can't hurt anyone."
"Haha" Zhu Tingju's vigilance finally relaxed, but he was still a little uneasy, and he immediately ordered: "The handcuffs and foot cuffs are all added to this official." Immediately bring it back to the Criminal Department, hum Gujian Mountain is a good Gujian Mountain, dare to come to the capital to swagger and kill people, the old man wants to see if your bones are as hard as the legend"
As he spoke, he glanced at the guards left by Li Qiong in the alley, and snorted coldly: "If anyone dares to stop this official from taking people again, he will not be pardoned, this official understands that if you are ordered to do things, the Nine Emperors will have their own officials to explain to you, and someone will take the whole Pu Mansion away with this official."
The 37 mouths of Dong Hanlin's Mansion on Xuanwu Street were destroyed, and the Shilang Mansion of the Criminal Department on Zhuque Street was also not left, and the servants and maids were all unscathed, their movements were clean and neat, and their goals were clear.
On the one hand, Li Hongyi ordered the news to be blocked so that people would not panic, and on the other hand, he summoned officials from the Criminal Department, the Military Department, and the Officials Department to the palace overnight to face the saints.
Just ordered Zhu Tingju to go out of the palace to take people in person, and ordered the military department to close the city gate and impose martial law on the whole city, so as to arrest the Gu Jianshan killer who was mixed in the capital.
Another official came out of the imperial study tremblingly, and the eunuch guarding the door immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Lord Shangshu Du of the Ministry of Officials, the emperor is invited."
Du Shiyuan, who had been guarding outside for a long time, adjusted his official uniform and followed the eunuch in.
As soon as the door of the imperial study was closed, and before Du Shiyuan had time to salute, Li Hongyi on the bookcase smashed a fold for Du Shiyuan from afar, and said in an angry tone: "Du Aiqing, you can give me an explanation for this matter!" ”
Du Shiyuan is also worthy of being an old loach in the officialdom, first picked up the folds on the ground and read it, and then said solemnly: "The old minister is guilty!" ”
"Oh" Li Hongyi said: "Of course you are guilty, Dong Aiqing, Gui Aiqing died because of you, of course you are guilty, I can't wait to kill you and then hurry."
Du Shiyuan said: "If the old minister has the crime of improper consideration and failure to investigate, if the emperor wants the head of the old minister because of this, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."
"Hmph," Li Hongyi smiled coldly, "It's a good idea." The crime of failure to investigate, you have pushed yourself cleanly, and someone has come to pass on Lord Fang of Jingzhao Mansion, I want to see it. Does this Pu Yi really have three heads and six arms! ”
Immediately afterwards, Fang Qin entered in response, and the result of the interrogation was naturally the same as Du Shiyuan's expectation, it was nothing more than Pu Yi returning from the Northern Desert and his official position was demoted. has always complained to the emperor, harbored evil intentions, and took advantage of the spring drought to sacrifice the princes and nobles in the capital to water the land, and to take the lead for the people of the world, so that the corpses on the banks of the Darong River are all over the field, which makes the strong men in the military camp cold, which is really a move to protect the emperor.
Then, the matter was revealed, and Dong Hanlin's eldest son, Dong Ziye, assisted Gui Xiaogao, the servant of the Criminal Department, to get people from Pufu. In this regard, Pu Yi has been prepared for a long time, and secretly spent a huge amount of money to invite the killers of Gujian Mountain to ambush in the capital, and the dog jumped under the wall in a hurry, not only resisting the decree and not complying with the order, but also killing Dong Hanlin and Gui Shilang without the king's law to vent his anger.
The trial of the case went very smoothly. With Pu Yi's autograph and printed fold as physical evidence, and Fang Qing, a witness who witnessed it, saw it with his own eyes, the cause of the incident is clear and clear, and the reasons are sufficient. The motive is clear, and all of them are reasonable.
As Du Shiyuan said, if he is guilty, it is only that Du Shiyuan did not think properly when he was worried about the emperor and sympathetic to the suffering of the people in the world. In addition, the whole case has nothing to do with him Du Shiyuan.
After asking the last official, the result is still the same, if this is the case, then he Du Shiyuan also fell for this Pu Yi's trick, and he is also a victim.
"Bastard"
Li Hongyi stood up from the case, slammed over the ginseng tea that a eunuch had just delivered, and snorted coldly: "Am I wrong, am I really wrong?" I understand your meritorious deeds, call you back to enjoy your old age, and allocate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year to support you, not only do you not know how to repay you, but you also think about harming me everywhere, is this what I have chilled your heart, or is it that you have chilled my heart! ”
Immediately, he gritted his teeth violently, poured ink with a thick pen, and even wrote angrily between the words: "Zhu Puyi Nine Clans!" ”
After writing, he straightened up, just turned his head, and was about to call the eunuchs outside to come in to draft the holy decree, and immediately, he listened to the eunuchs outside in a gloomy voice: "Your Majesty, King Qing'an asks to see!" ”
He put down his pen, and the angry look on his face disappeared: "Biography"
Immediately, the door of the imperial study was pushed open by the eunuch, and Li Yong's face with thick black eyebrows, dark yellow skin, and somewhat thick lips appeared in front of him.
The eunuch retreated, and Li Yong asked for peace in a proper manner: "The son of the minister asks for peace to his father."
"Yong'er doesn't need to be polite, it's so late and still come to see me, it's not that the life in the capital is still not used to it, if there is anything, you can tell me"
Li Hongyi looks like a loving father, Long Wei is exhausted, to tell the truth, he still feels a great debt to Li Yong in his heart, he was taken hostage by him when he was three years old and pressed in the Yue Kingdom, this blink of an eye, a full twenty years have passed.
Li Yong looked a little cramped, probably because he had just arrived in the capital for a short time, and he was a little unaccustomed to facing Li Hongyi.
He hesitated for a long time before he said: "The son wants to be alone with his father."
"Oh?" Li Hongyi frowned, although Li Yong hadn't said who he wanted to protect, but he was still slightly dissatisfied in his heart, so he listened to him teach a child in the same tone as saying, "Yong'er! The men of our Li family, if you have something, you have to find a way to do it yourself, you have only been in the capital for a month, so you will come to your father to protect people, you will make your father look down on you."
Li Yong bowed his head to be taught, but he did not retreat, he still stood in front of him in a daze, and said firmly: "The child has grown up outside since he was a child, and there is no one to teach these truths, I only know that when the children of the people encounter something, they will find their father and mother, father and emperor."
Hearing this, Li Hongyi's heart was sour, he stared at him seriously, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will also be the father of the people, you say, who do you want to protect!" ”
"The child wants to protect the Nongzheng Puyi of Jingzhao Mansion!"
"Who?" Li Hongyi was surprised, "Who do you want to protect?" ”
Li Yong said firmly again: "Jingzhao Mansion Nongzheng Puyi! ”
After brushing it, Li Hongyi's body exploded, and his voice was like a bell: "No, you can protect anyone, but if you can't protect him, I have to destroy his nine clans."
Li Yong was as motionless as a mountain, and in the face of Li Hongyi's coercion, he didn't have the crampedness just now, and slowly raised his head: "Is it okay for Erchen to use this prince's identity to protect his life?" The father released him, and his sons immediately whipped back to the Moon Kingdom, and then went to be a hostage for the world of our Li family for a lifetime! ”
"Bastard" Li Hongyi was furious, "You are threatening me!" ”
"Erchen doesn't dare!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere rose sharply, and in the imperial study, it seemed to be so quiet that it could be heard that a needle was falling, but in fact, it was already the tip of the needle against the wheat mang, and they did not give in.
Suddenly, the ugly voice of the eunuch outside sounded again: "Your Majesty, the Nine Emperors ask to see you!" ”
"Ahem"
Immediately, Li Qiong's faint coughing sound came from outside.
Li Hongyi sat back on the case, ignored Li Yong, and responded: "Biography"
Immediately, Li Qiong entered in response.
Walking into the imperial study, Li Qiong first glanced at Li Yong next to him, and then saluted, Li Hongyi was also as concerned as always: "Qiong'er is sick, it's not good to cultivate in Qinhe Palace, what's the matter with coming to see me so late?" ”
Li Qiong raised his head, but his eyes did not look at Li Hongyi, but stared straight at the couplet behind Li Hongyi.
Of course, not a couplet, because that couplet is incomplete, only the upper couplet, and not the lower couplet.
He raised his finger and said seriously: "Father, does your decree for the marriage of your son last year still count?" ”
Li Hongyi looked back at the couplet behind him, and suddenly smiled: "You mean that Zhao Zhong's righteous daughter!" What's the matter, okay, why did you mention this matter, I remember that Zhao Zhong also specially asked me to send a special wanted warrant, and the woman who was wanted was wanted."
Li Qiong said again: "Erchen is here to ask if that holy decree counts?" ”
Li Hongyi couldn't understand how he thought of asking about this matter, but he didn't think much about it, and muttered: "If you don't have an opinion, then count it, but you have to explain Zhao Zhong first, don't let Zhao Zhong come to me for trouble!" ”
"Okay" Li Qiong smiled faintly, with a look of successful trickery, and continued: "Then ask my father to make a new holy decree, my son heard that the imperial uncle lost the holy decree of marriage when he went to Chuyang the year before last, and the holy decree has not been announced yet!" ”
"Haha" Li Hongyi was amused by him, and thought that Li Qiong wanted to get married and wanted to go crazy, and said with a kind face, "Okay, then I will give you another holy decree, it's rare for you to come to see me in person for this matter!" ”
After speaking, Li Hongyi immediately turned around and wrote quickly, and said happily: "Zheng'er is getting married in June, so good things come in pairs, and you will be with Zheng'er in June."
"Good"
Li Qiong got the marriage decree, and didn't care about Li Yong, who was still standing next to him, immediately walked out of the imperial study, walked quickly through a few corridors, and in the corner, he immediately saw Princess Qiuping swoop out and asked eagerly: "Brother Huang, how is it, have you got the holy decree?" ”
Li Qiong breathed a big sigh of relief at this time, took out the holy decree from his arms and handed it to Princess Qiuping, and said solemnly: "It's up to you tomorrow, you must let Gonggong Cai read this holy decree in front of hundreds of civil and military officials when the court deliberates tomorrow morning."
"Hehe" Princess Qiuping opened the holy decree and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed, "Don't worry, this matter will be left to me, as long as the holy decree is announced first, Ruoxin's life will be saved, and the father can't announce the holy decree in front, and then come to her to cut off her head, isn't this a joke for everyone in the world to see" (To be continued.) )
