Seeing that Lao Li was angry and had murderous intentions, the eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly stopped the eunuch who was delivering the decree and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty, Zong Xiu can't be killed." ”

Lao Li's eyes widened: "You also want to intercede for Zong Xiu, don't you?" ”

The eldest grandson sighed faintly: "Erlang, the concubine is not interceding for Zong Xiu, but for the sake of His Majesty's reputation. ”

The eldest grandson is an empathetic woman, she understands a man's heart very well, and knows how to comfort a man who is full of anger.

"Jiro." The eldest grandson walked to Li Shimin's side, grabbed Li Shimin's hand, and said: "Today's matter, if Zong Xiu is just an ordinary person, he is indeed bold and should be killed." can be judged by his current merits, neither public nor private, can be killed. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian gently squeezed Li Shimin's broad palm and shared his opinions.

"Since ancient times, Mingjun has not been jealous of talents."

"With Gong, Zong Xiu has created numbers, formulas, and abacus formulas in the year of weak crowns, and improved tedious arithmetic, which has been called a rare genius for thousands of years. His achievements are enough to be remembered by future generations and praised for thousands of years. Can't be killed! ”

"With selfishness, things have passed for so many years, and that girl has grown up, and there should be a break."

"Today, Lu Gong has this head, presumably Wei Xiang, General Li, General Hou and other old people who came out of Wagangzhai will also have this thought."

"Your Majesty, above the court, the most jealous of the monarch and the minister. Since they all have such thoughts, why don't Your Majesty be a favor, which not only fulfills Zong Xiu's intentions, but also accepts the hearts of all ministers, and eliminates that estrangement. Why not have the best of both worlds? ”

The anger on Li Shimin's face slowly subsided, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid that in this matter, Zong Xiu is just a shield that has been pushed out." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian chuckled: "Whether it is Lu Gong or not, they are doing ghosts behind their backs, now that they have returned to their hearts, what flowers can they turn up?" When Your Majesty gives an order, you may wish to dial one or two. ”

In the Daming Palace, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Zheng, and Li Shiji knelt for two full hours, while officials such as Wei Chi Jingde, Chai Shao, Changsun Wuji, and Chu Suiliang who were not from the 'Wagang Department' were afraid of getting into trouble and retired early.

At night, the lights in the Daming Palace were bright, and the three of them knelt in a row and did not dare to get up. Until the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the door, and the three of them cheered up again.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian came together, both with cold faces, seeing that the three of them were still kneeling, Li Shimin's face was even worse, he didn't shout flat, walked around the three of them quickly, and walked to the dragon chair.

"I beg your majesty to be gracious."

Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Zheng, and Li Shiji once again performed the five-body throwing ceremony and prostrate on the ground.

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Get up!" ”

"I don't dare."

It's a unison again.

The eldest grandson said lightly: "The three princes, you can get up." His Majesty has granted Zong Xiu's request. ”

"Really?" Cheng Biting Jin was overjoyed, and his bloodstained smiling face looked very hideous.

Li Shimin had a cold face: "Although I approved his request, it was also conditional. ”

Wei Zheng hurriedly asked: "Please tell Your Majesty"

Li Shimin stretched out two fingers and said coldly: "First, I can give her back her freedom, but she will never show her face in the future." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian explained: "Your Majesty's Chrysostom has decreed that she will be punished as a slave for the rest of her life, and if people know that Yi is separated from Yi Feng Pavilion, it will be detrimental to Your Majesty's majesty. ”

Cheng Yanjin said happily: "Yes, yes, this is no problem." ”

Li Shimin said again: "Second, she must not restore her single surname in this life and this life!" If outsiders know her background, I will never spare her! ”

Li Shiji clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this is willing to guarantee with your life." ”

"Hmph, I hope so!"

Li Shimin had a cold face, waved his hand, and motioned for the three of them to go down.

Wei Zheng, Cheng Yanjin, and Li Shiji knelt for an afternoon, their legs were weak, they helped each other to get up, and thanked Lao Li before leaving happily.

Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Lao Li felt sour in his heart for no reason, and his face was bitter. The eldest grandson Wujian saw Ailang's thoughts, and he didn't speak, just gently pinched Ailang's broad shoulders.

Outside the palace gate, three old men who were almost two hundred years old supported each other, all with tears in their eyes.

Cheng Yanjin cried excitedly: "It's been thirteen years!" Thirteen years! The fifth brother has a spirit in the sky, and he can finally rest in peace. ”

"Yes, it's been thirteen years, bite the gold, and you're old." Li Shiji wiped a handful of tears: "Big brother's hair is also a lot whiter. ”

Wei Zheng sighed faintly: "I'm afraid that from now on, we will be an eyesore in front of Your Majesty." ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed indifferently and said: "What nonsense the eldest brother is talking about, they are all old people, how can Your Majesty be so careful?" ”

"Well, I hope so."

Wei Zheng and Li Shiji glanced at each other, and they both saw deep concern in each other's eyes.

Cheng Yanjin doesn't care, he has robbed the aisle all his life, rebelled, been the emperor of the soil, and slept with a beautiful girl, it's worth it.

If you want to say regrets, he also has them.

Cheng Yanjin's biggest regret is that when Shan Xiongxin was beheaded thirteen years ago, he didn't dare to plead, so that he killed his brother.

"I said two brothers, let's go, go to my house first." Cheng Yanjin took Li Shiji and Wei Zheng's hands: "Yi Yatou can get rid of the sea of suffering, it is all the credit of Zong Xiu, no matter how you say it, you have to take Zong Xiu to pick her up." ”

Wei Zheng glanced at him: "You have a big heart, Zong Xiu just received a whip last night, bumping back and forth, and if he suffers the wind again, he doesn't want his life." ”

Li Shiji said: "I agree with the words of biting gold, not to mention that Zong Xiu is the hero who saved the daughter of the fifth brother, just by the means of internal guards, if you don't take him along, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will think that this matter is a few of us who are obstructing it." ”

"What if you get the cold?" Wei Zheng asked.

Cheng Yanjin grinned: "What are you afraid of, I'll find someone to carry him in a sedan chair, can it still be upside down?" ”

It's night.

In Chang'an City, in front of Yifeng Pavilion, five large purple sedan chairs fell at the door, causing the guests who originally wanted to go in to watch from afar.

"Hey, it turns out that Cheng Ye, Marshal Li, and Wei Xiangye have arrived, please come in quickly."

For the first time, the turtle slave guarding the door saw the three princes gathered in Yi Feng Pavilion, and hurriedly greeted them with flattering smiling faces.

Cheng Biting Jin backhanded a big-eared scraper and fanned over: "Get out!" ”

"Master Cheng, why are you doing this?"

The beaten turtle didn't dare to cry out in pain, covered his cheeks, and asked aggrievedly.

Cheng Yanjin laughed: "Today, the lord is happy, I have wrapped up your Yi Feng Pavilion and let everyone go out." ”

"Ah......" the turtle slave was shocked.

"What, didn't you hear? Within a stick of incense, I don't care how many officials I have, as long as I don't have Lao Tzu's big one, I will be kicked out! Today, Yi Fengge, our brother has three packs. ”

Cheng Yanjin shouted directly at the top of his throat: "Everyone inside will get out of here, otherwise Lao Tzu will slap you in the face." ”

Li Shiji and Wei Zheng stood behind and shook their heads and smiled bitterly. It's a bit too much, and Your Majesty is even if it's not easy to explain.

Don't say it, Cheng Biting Jin's throat went down, and a bunch of people ran out of Yi Feng Pavilion, and those people were stunned when they saw Cheng Biting Jin, Li Shiji, and Wei Zheng standing side by side at the door.

After all, Cheng bites the gold, and they can still accept it.

But why did Marshal Li and Wei Xiang also come?

Being watched, Li Shiji was fine, Wei Zheng came to Yifeng Pavilion for the first time, and was seen by his subordinates who were officials in the same dynasty, with an embarrassed old face.

"Hurry up, go quickly, don't move my fist again."

Cheng Yanjin urged.

A large number of guests dispersed in a hurry, which naturally attracted the attention of the old bustard Yan Chengcheng.

Yan Tingcheng took hurried steps, ran out with flowers, and when he saw Li Shiji and Wei Zheng, he was obviously stunned: "You ......"

Li Shiji nodded to Yan Tingcheng: "Everyone Yan, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?" ”
