Chapter 685: Digging a Pit
Ying Zheng went to personally check the progress of the execution pit, and it seemed that the pit was almost dug.
"The slave maid also found out the direct reason why the emperor was suddenly furious and determined to fill the pit with the dissidents." She paused, and saw that I cared about Hou Ting, and hurriedly said: "I heard that it is the two monks who followed Xu Fu before, called the surnames Hou and Lu, and spread rumors everywhere that the emperor was tyrannical and ruined the sky, not only could not get the elixir of immortality, but also lost his life and the country because of foul language such as rigidity, one-person arbitrariness, and greed for power.
After hearing this, the emperor was furious and could not be suppressed, and ordered to hunt down and kill him on the charge of "evil words to chaos and chaos", and because Xiangjue met with him to avoid such disrespectful methods, it was determined that everyone in Yunyang National Prison would be buried alive in the suburbs of Xianyang City. ”
Lin Jixiang's move, from a long-term and realistic point of view, has a very vicious impact on Ying Zheng.
I sat silently in my chair, saddened by the inability to do anything about the slaughter of the prisoners.
"Didn't Xiangjue return to the inner palace again?" I asked casually, but it was too hard to ask.
"Nope." Luo Shallot whispered back to me.
Whether they're hiding from me or not, their business is imperative.
The inner palace is much more lively than before, and there are a lot of talks about the pit filling Confucian scholars on the palace road, but these are not what I care about, what I care about is that Chang Man actually came to me for this matter.
It's not to beg me to intercede with Yingzheng for those people, but to go to the scene to watch.
"You're going to watch the Confucian scholars being filled?" I looked at Chang Man, who lowered my eyebrows and begged me, in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Why is this so?" ”
It's a terrifying and disgusting picture to think about, why did she think of a little girl's family to witness it with her own eyes? She can't be fun, right? No. No, that's a scary thought.
"The son has not seen his father for a long time. I miss it very much. She said.
I didn't believe her for a moment.
"Your father won't supervise it himself." I refuted her.
Seeing that I was not interested in continuing to talk about this matter, Chang Man immediately opened his mouth to find an excuse.
"The son doesn't believe that his father will be like this." She saw that I was calm. Knowing that I was moved by her words, I cheered and persuaded: "My father is feared by the people of the world, and sometimes he is stricter, but he has great love and power to rectify it for the sake of the people of the country, and his sons and daughters grow up with the emperor, no matter what, I don't believe that my father will do such a tyrannical thing." ”
Yes, no matter what people in the world say about Ying Zheng and how history records his life, I think Ying Zheng is a good emperor, a good husband, and a good father, and I am here. He is the most flesh-and-blood and tender man on the top of the sky, and I think it is enough for me to do so.
What Chang Man doesn't believe, I don't believe either, it's rare for our mother and daughter to have a common understanding.
"Your father won't return to the inner palace, and your mother won't be able to get a token to leave the palace, so you should wait for him to return in the palace and ask him in person." No matter how much I don't believe it, I can't see it with my own eyes, because Yingzheng has never given me a chance to talk to him.
Changman is not discouraged, on the contrary. She also came up with a solution that surprised me.
"The sons can get the tokens, but the mother concubine has to go out of the palace with the sons."
Can she? Why is she... And it's with me?
Seeing my doubts, Chang Man smiled mysteriously. Whisper to me slightly.
"The master said that as long as the rechen and the concubine go out of the palace together, he will be able to ask the rafter to send the token to the retainer. And it was a token that was promised to us by our father. Chang Man was convinced of what Lin Jixiang had promised, and he didn't think about the problems in between.
Lin Jixiang wants to use Chang Man to achieve the goal of asking me to go out of the palace to see the atrocities of Yingzheng with my own eyes. Is it to make me die for Yingzheng?
From his point of view, if I had relied on Changman. Then I will be able to bear witness to the atrocities as he thinks; If I don't rely on Chang Man, then Chang Man's mentality, which is rarely relieved of me, will undoubtedly lead to an impasse, and he will not believe in my feelings for Ying Zheng and slander me more and more - it is indeed sad for my own daughter to slander herself.
"How is it possible, how can your father and the emperor allow us to go out of the palace to see those filthy things." I used Ying Zheng as a shirk to hit Chang Man's mind.
Chang Man didn't understand what I was thinking, she had always been simple, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lin Jixiang's "kindness".
"It's the master who said it, he's so wise, what's not to do."
This is true, although it is blind trust, but Chang Man is not wrong Lin Jixiang, he is indeed an omnipotent powerhouse.
I wanted to go and see it, but I was afraid to see Ying Zheng really do that, second, I felt that Lin Jixiang should not be allowed to see hope, and third, I didn't want Chang Man to join in the fun, so I retreated in my heart.
"This thing sounds very cruel, your father must not want us to see it, it is better to wait for your father to come back and ask him what happened and the reason."
Changman was very puzzled by my cowardice, and she was also very unhappy.
"So it sounds like this, mother, do you believe that your father is going to do this kind of thing? He also said that you trusted your father, but your sons didn't believe it, and you wanted to see through the rumors with your own eyes, why didn't you dare? She asked me aggressively.
My daughter has grown up to the point where she can question me, and I am really eye-opening and heartbroken.
"If you believe in your father, why do you need to witness it with your own eyes? You don't have to see this with your own eyes, just listen to what your father says is true. I retorted.
Chang Man was naturally unhappy, but I refuted her after a few more words, and it was not until the arguments were unreasonable that I twisted her neck and left me.
I know that she begged Lin Jixiang again with hope, but I also know that Lin Jixiang did not achieve the purpose of asking me to appear, and would never give Chang Man a palace order, so I am not worried that Chang Man will see things that should not be seen, but I regret that I could have been careful about what could have been realized.
But after thinking about it carefully, if Lin Jixiang asked me to choose again, I would still give up, because if I saw what history said, how would I see Yingzheng in the future?
Luo Cong reported that when Chang Man, who had been out for a long time, came back angrily, I felt a lot more at ease, she was not allowed to leave the palace, which was a wonderful thing for her, one was that she could not see those unclean things, and second, if it was really Ying Zheng's doing, it would not damage the flawless father in her mind.
I just want to hear Ying Zheng say to me personally, although my firmness towards him has wavered, but as long as he tells me that he doesn't have it, I trust him unconditionally! (To be continued......)
