Chapter 773: Where the Courage Is
When Zhuge Qiao's corpse entered the Jiangdu, the sky was raining with midsummer beans.
The rain washes the streets and alleys of the city, and the filth and muddy water mix together and sweep into the culverts, flowing into the moat outside the city.
Guan Yu sat in the warm pavilion, where lime powder that adsorbs water vapor was also placed.
Whenever the damp weather was flooding and the climate was damp and cold, he suffered from all kinds of dark injuries and old diseases.
Today, he was suffering physically and mentally together, always with a cold face and without saying a word.
The wooden clogs trampled on the ground and made a crisp sound, and Guan Yu's gaze shifted to the screen; At the end of the screen is the living room, Pei Jun first took off his sandals, wiped his feet with a cloth towel, and stepped on a pair of slippers before walking inside, through the screen: "Gongshang, in the imperial history, Liao Gongyuan reported the general Wen Zhongye, and wanted to cure the crime of ignorance and negligence." ”
"Wen Zhongye ......"
Guan Yu muttered, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, the raindrops washed and hit the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the pond intensively, and it was a jingling mess.
Wen Ping's life, like the lotus flower that has bloomed, will quickly burst, wither, and decay under the blow of rapid raindrops.
What will be left behind will not be flowers, but a lotus pod containing lotus seeds.
Wenpin has done well enough, but what can he do to save Wenpin's life?
It is the duty of the Yushitai to report illegal and derelict officials, and now Liao Li's report on civil employment is the principle of his position; No matter who is in this position, it is impossible to ignore what is happening in Xiangyang with their eyes open.
Whoever opens his eyes and tells nonsense, it will be his turn to bear the crime of negligence.
It's not that Liao Li wants to force Wenpin to death, this is the normal workflow of Yushitai.
After all, it is the Tingwei Mansion that hears and adjudicates the case...... The agency that decides whether the clerk is guilty or not, and whether it is a capital crime, is in the Tingwei Mansion.
After Li Yan, the former court captain, was transferred to the school lieutenant, the position of court secretary was filled by Liu Yan, the former minister of the first emperor, the Lu people of Yuzhou, the clan, and the marquis of Baishui Township.
Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, he has been kind to the former ministers of the first emperor, and Liu Yan has followed the first emperor to deal with the world, and gave him the title of Pavilion Marquis; The queen gave birth to her eldest son, and when the court granted amnesty to the world, she promoted the officials of the clan in the court and gave them special favor.
Therefore, Liu Yan increased the number of food yi by 200 households, and before the merger, the food yi exceeded the limit of 500 households in Tinghou, so he was promoted to Baishui Township Marquis with 600 households.
How will Liu Yan pronounce the sentence of civil appointment?
This matter is still under his control, and what he can't control is Wen Ping himself.
I want to be a student, but I don't necessarily want to continue to survive.
After thinking for a moment, Guan Yu said: "Yulin and Huben rushed to Xiangyang to escort Wen Zhongye into the court. Be courteous and not insulting. ”
Pei Jun was attached to the subordinate, and was about to convey the order, when he heard Guan Yu ask: "Where is filial piety?" ”
Pei Jun was stunned: "It should be in the palace." ”
"Staring at the palace gate, when filial piety leaves the palace, it will attract me to see me. also sent people into the palace to take a look and urge them. ”
Guan Yu Meiyu's aura had dispersed a lot, giving Pei Jun a gloomy and disgraced feeling.
Endured the inner palpitations, Pei Jun bowed down before turning around and leaving.
In Changle Palace, Hongluqing Chen Zhen was pacing back and forth in the corridor outside the queen's bedroom, and the cold air spread from the rain, making Chen Zhen not very comfortable, and he only felt that his heart was gently supported and caressed by the cold palm...... It seems that at any moment you can put your fingers together and crush your heart into minced meat.
The prime minister's heir, who was in the prime of his youth, suddenly contracted an illness and died violently.
Not to mention the prime minister, the general, even himself...... I want to kill people in a hurry!
The general was reluctant to enter the palace, probably because he was worried that he would see the emperor and be stimulated by the emperor's words and deeds, and then lose control of his emotions and clean up the emperor fiercely, making the emperor even more embarrassed.
Let yourself ...... What can I do?
The emperor didn't see him, he hid in Changle Palace, and he could still break in?
In the dormitory, Liu Chan was lying lazily on the couch, the room was filled with a faint agarwood, he was holding a handful of jade and agate polished balls in his hand, squinting and thinking from time to time, without a trace of emotional fluctuations on his face.
On the couch on the other side, Tian Chang sat side by side on the edge of his son's shaker, humming softly, and his body swayed slightly with the shaker.
At this moment, only her well-behaved son is left in her eyes, and in this moment of rain, coolness, and fresh air, the little one sleeps very sweetly.
Outside the dormitory, the emperor was not in a hurry, Huang Hao was in a hurry, and paced back and forth in a hurry.
Chen Zhen is so perfunctory, it's okay to just hang it like this, even if the general asks, Chen Zhen will help to excuse and defend the emperor.
But if the general couldn't wait for the news, he came to Changle Palace in person...... How does that end?
Perhaps, as soon as the tiger benlang swarmed up, he would catch and cut down a close servant leader like himself first.
Extremely anxious, he suddenly heard the sound of rain washing over the palace tiles like waves gradually becoming quieter...... This shows that the rain will stop, Huang Hao couldn't help but be overjoyed, endured the joy, and walked into the dormitory with an anxious look: "Supreme, the rain will stop." ”
"The rain is going to go out?"
The emperor was in a trance at first, and then asked: "Where is Chen Zhen?" ”
"Waiting outside the hall, the slave and maid looked at their behavior, and they were very urgent."
"Bring it into the temple and give tea."
The emperor waved his hand tiredly, closed his eyes, and listened to Huang Hao's footsteps fading away, before he said: "Zhuge Bosong is greedy for merit and rash, and it is really stupid to provoke that person for personal feelings. Alas...... Regardless of the priorities, it's good now......"
When the news of Zhuge Qiao's illness came, the general was furious and transferred the Son of Heaven and his close ministers one after another; Now that Zhuge Qiao is dead, if he doesn't kill a group of people, how can the general give up?
The general can't fight Beifu, and I'm afraid he doesn't want to defend the court to the death.
After thinking for a while, I thought of a word that could describe the general, but I didn't dare to say it.
He got up and gathered his robe, came to the queen's side, and first squatted close to his face to see his son who was sleeping sweetly, and his heart was full of energy.
Seeing him smiling, Tian Chang on the side also showed a satisfied smile.
"It's my incompetence that has wronged the queen."
"It has nothing to do with Your Majesty, the concubine is the wife of the Liu family, and it should be like this. I don't complain about Your Majesty, nor do I complain about my brother. ”
Tian Chang gently pushed the shaker, and smiled calmly: "I can enjoy the wealth in the palace, and the concubine is enough." ”
Seven or eight years ago, the terrifying memories of the clan migration always permeated her mind, and she was very calm and content.
This temperament infected the emperor again, he took a deep breath and mustered up his strength: "I have to fight, I can't do it, and I'm willing to die." ”
Tian Chang bowed his head slightly and did not say no.
She has nothing to be afraid of, if she takes the worst step, the Beifu soldiers will rush into Changle Palace, and they will not move a finger from her.
It's a big deal to change the emperor and be the queen mother herself.
Her composure seems to have become a source of courage for the emperor to give it a go.
Win and have everything, lose ...... It can also protect the capital.
Don't gamble, sorry for this fantastic atmosphere.
