It is said that this imperial banquet has been eaten for almost half an hour, Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa only barely ate a full three, they rushed for a day, and after coming to Tokyo, they didn't even have time to eat, they were already hungry, coupled with the complicated rules of eating with the emperor, this meal was uncomfortable for the two, but there was no way, no matter how uncomfortable it was, they had to endure it, not only to endure it, but also to look excited and grateful every time the emperor rewarded a small plate of food,

Finally, this imperial banquet was about to come to an end, but at this moment, I saw a eunuch hurriedly come to the emperor's side and say something to him, and then saw the emperor's face sink and slam the table and snort angrily, "How unreasonable! ”

In an instant, the hall was silent! Everyone looked at the emperor in amazement, and they didn't know why he was angry, and the people hurriedly got up, crossed the dining table in front of them, walked to the bottom of the hall, and knelt down to the emperor and bowed, "Holy Lord, please stop being angry!" ”

Pang Wanchun was stunned when he saw it, and before he could react, he only felt that the corner of his clothes was pulled, he turned his head to look, it turned out to be Liu Fa glanced at him, and then saw that he also quickly got up and walked to the hall and knelt behind the planter Dao and others,

Pang Wanchun was helpless, so he had to come to the hall and kneel next to Liu Fa, but although his head fell, his mouth muttered quietly, "He has to kneel when he laughs, and he has to kneel when he is angry, it's really troublesome!" He's going to, do we have to take it with our mouths? ”

Liu Fa almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and hurriedly replied in a very small voice, "Be quiet, be careful of being heard...... ”

"Zhong Aiqing is flat," the emperor said as he interrupted Liu Fa's words, and everyone could still clearly hear the faint anger in his words, "It's none of your business." ”

Only then did everyone get up and return to their original positions, only to see the emperor say coldly, "Now that Zhong Aiqing is here, I will seek justice for you today!" ”

After that, the emperor said to the eunuch just now, "Bring him here!" ”

Pang Wanchun, Liu Fa, Seed Master Dao and others looked at each other, all of them were puzzled, I don't know what happened, ask for justice? What kind of justice?

Everyone looked out of the door, and soon saw that there were two guards carrying one person walking into the hall, and when they came to the hall, the two guards threw their hands, and the person who was holding them fell to the ground at once, only to see a eunuch with a disheveled head, disheveled clothes, a blue nose and swollen face, and a trembling eunuch who kept kowtowing to the emperor.

It's him!

Pang Wanchun, Seed Master Dao and others were all shocked when they saw this person's appearance clearly, it turned out that this person was none other than Liang Chen, who had just been beaten by Liu Fafat!

The emperor snorted coldly and shouted, "Liang Chen, you are guilty!" ”

Liang Chen trembled, trembling and said, "The slave and maid (note) ......, the slave and maid are ......, and it is ...... to know the guilt." ”

The emperor's face was full of righteous indignation, and he asked fiercely, "Oh? What do you say you have committed?! ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves and maids insult ...... The imperial court anti-Xia soldiers ......," Liang Chen's face was pale, and his face was full of horror, but when he said this, he suddenly kept knocking his head and crying, "Your Majesty, the slave is guilty, Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life!" Your Majesty ......,"

The emperor sneered, waved his hand and ordered, "Come on, take down the staff and kill it!" ”

The two guards immediately picked up Liang Chen and walked out, Liang Chen reacted and struggled desperately, crying and begging for mercy to no avail, he could only hear his screams gradually disappearing,

The emperor snorted coldly and said as if he was still angry, "It's all because I indulge them on weekdays, and dare to insult and bathe me for the Great Song Dynasty. The soldiers who fought hard, it was really difficult to solve the hatred in my heart if I didn't kill them! ”

Huang Xingye was already moved to cry bitterly, and everyone got up again and came to the hall to bow to the emperor, and shouted excitedly, "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor...... ”

Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa glanced at each other and immediately came to the hall to worship on the ground, but there was not the slightest excitement in their eyes, and some were only deeply puzzle......d.

"Godfather! Godfather, you want to save the child! Liang Chen was forced to press on the cold ground, there was no slightest cover below his waist, several guards with big sticks were standing on both sides, and in front of Liang Chen stood a person, this person was none other than Liang Shicheng, who was known as the "hidden appearance".

At this moment, Liang Shicheng looked at his godson Liang Chen, who was almost dying, his face was not the slightest worry and sadness, but he was smiling lightly, this smile Liang Chen was very familiar, every time Liang Shicheng was praised by the emperor, he would show this kind of smile, but now seeing this smile made him feel a cold feeling ...... the bones,

"Godfather...... ...... you?"

"Child," Liang Shicheng smiled slightly, squatted down close to Liang Chen, stretched out his hand and patted Liang Chen's face gently, finally showing a little bit of love, but he still continued, "Don't blame Dad, no one can save you today." ”

Liang Chen's body trembled suddenly, only to feel as if he was suffocated, he struggled to remember, but under the suppression of several strong guards, he couldn't move at all, he could only shout at Liang Shicheng with snot and tears, "Dad! Father! Don't scare the child, save the child, the child will be a cow and a horse ...... you in the future,"

"Hehe," Liang Shicheng smiled again, shook his head and said, "Silly boy, there are so many people who are willing to be cattle and horses for their father." ”

Finally, Liang Chen understood that Liang Shicheng was not joking, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball.

Liang Shicheng sighed when he saw him like this, and there seemed to be a little unbearable in his eyes, and after thinking about it, he said, "Child, you and I are father and son, my father is here this time to see you off, and the second is to let you die to understand, these three are to do your best to give you a happy time." ”

Liang Chen raised his head again when he heard this, only to see that his face was full of snot and tears mixed with the dust on the ground, looking extremely disgusting.

Liang Shicheng also seemed to feel dirty, frowned and stood up before saying, "Child, you said that when you can't cause trouble, you have to make trouble today, and you are too unlucky, in fact, it is nothing to bully a little general, even if you bully a father who is in charge of the capital, you can also settle it for you, but today you provoked two people you shouldn't provoke, and now the saint wants to win over those two, and I am worried that I can't find a chance, don't you say that you hit the muzzle of the gun?" ”

Liang Chen listened, his face was thoughtful, but then it was replaced by deep remorse,

Liang Shicheng sighed and continued, "Sooner or later, this matter will reach the ears of the Holy One, even if their gang is gone by then, the Holy One will be angry that you have smeared his face, and he will not let you go, and Dad will inevitably be implicated, rather than that, it is better to let Dad take the initiative to ...... you, so as to ...... Child, just think of it as your father's reward for taking care of you for so many years. Don't worry, your family will continue to take care of you after you die. ”

Liang Chen's tears of despair poured out, although he was extremely resentful of Liang Shicheng in his heart, but for the sake of several family members who were still outside the palace, he still forced himself to pile up a grateful smile and said to Liang Shicheng in a choked voice, "Child...... Thanks a lot...... Daddy! ”

Liang Shicheng looked at Liang Chen deeply, as if he wanted to remember this "son" who had brought him that strange satisfaction under his knees, and then he looked up at a Praetorian Guard officer and nodded,

The officer nodded flatteringly at Liang Shicheng, then took out a red pill from his arms and stretched it out to Liang Chen's mouth and whispered to him, "Brother Liang, eat it, this is what Lord Liang gave you at great risk, eat it and kick it with both legs, it's better than being beaten slowly by this messy stick, suffering from skin and flesh and then dying." ”

Liang Chen's tears came down again, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he opened his mouth and swallowed the red pill, as soon as the pill entered his stomach, he only felt that his abdomen was like a knife, but the pain came and went very quickly, and then, his consciousness fell into endless darkness, and he could only vaguely hear the shout of the Praetorian Guard officer, "Come on, the execution ......!" ”

……，

Liang Shicheng looked at Liang Chen's corpse, sighed deeply, raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then looked at the several eunuchs and guards present and smiled slightly, "Thank you." ”

The eunuchs and guards hurriedly said in unison, "Don't dare, it's an honor for the villain to be able to serve the adult." ”

Liang Shicheng smiled with satisfaction, but said, "Did you hear clearly what our family said just now?" ”

Several eunuchs and the Praetorian guard glanced at each other, and the Praetorian Guard officer immediately said, "What did you say?" Have you been here, sir? ”

Liang Shicheng laughed, then turned around and left, never looking at Liang Chen's corpse again.

Note: Eunuchs in the Tang and Song dynasties were generally called "slaves", and the title of "slaves" was also available, but it was not common. After arriving in the Qing Dynasty, whether it was eunuchs, ministers, or generals, they all began to call themselves "slaves".
