Soon, in the dead of night, Wang Yimu disguised himself as a prison supervisor under the orders of Yang Zhong, sneaked into the prison unconsciously, and came to Hua Nie's side: "Lord Hua is a slave who came to visit you." Wang Yimu's face was a little bitter, and his expression revealed his dependence on Hua Nie.

Hua Nie tidied up his already worn clothes, and a smile of unhappiness appeared on his face: "It's the new pilgrimage, let you come!" ”

Wang Yimu choked and nodded, although then he took out a roll of bamboo paper from his sleeve and stretched it into the cell: "This is what the saint asked the slave to give you, take it." ”

Hua Nie waved his hand slightly, and said hoarsely: "The sage's thoughts, the criminal minister has already thought of it, and asked the prince to go back first, so as not to leak the news." ”

At the same time, Yang Zhongzheng was lying in bed, and the imperial doctor beside him saw that he was not well-organized, his face was anxious, and he was restless, but he could not find out what the condition was. ”

Yang Zhong boiled out a few tears, he frowned, and cried ashamedly: "The queen mother and the father left Shun suddenly, and before they had time to say goodbye, they left Shun alone, Shun in his heart... Yang Zhong coughed, and at this time, it seemed that there was really a sad breath stuck in his throat and stopped his words.

The imperial doctor instantly kowtowed, and said in a sonorous voice: "The emperor of the dynasty, please for the sake of the emperor, for your country, mourn!" ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Zhong calmed down: "What the Imperial Doctor said is very true, at this time, in this deep palace, only Hua Da can open his mind. It's better to call him to treat Shun's illness. ”

Yang Zhong's calm words aroused the panic of the imperial doctor: "Emperor Chao, you, where did you say this?" ”

"Shun was a child, playful by nature, once carried his father to the suburbs to ride a horse, and then accidentally fell off the horse, although Shun's injury was healed afterwards, but the scene of the fall has been wandering in Shun's heart, and finally Hua Da came forward to rescue the obedient from the shadow of terror, so, at this time, Shun must see Hua Nie, do you understand?"

The imperial doctor's face was broken, and with the courage to die, he struggled to persuade him: "The emperor must not do it, even if Huada can really cure your heart disease, but he is a criminal minister in the court, the emperor is the son of heaven, how can you ask a criminal minister to treat you, this is absolutely impossible, the emperor!" ”

Yang Zhong's face was furious, and he stared at the eunuch with murderous eyes, "Shun Fang just said that only Hua Nie can cure Shun now, don't you listen to it?" What is absolutely unacceptable, can Shun's dragon body still wait for people, you a little Taiyi Shun has been polite enough to you, if you dare to talk nonsense, Shun will directly punish your nine clans, get out! ”

Hearing the words of the Nine Clans, the Imperial Doctor lost the courage of Fang Cai, and he hurriedly kowtowed timidly: "Emperor Chao, please calm your anger, the slave will get out, this will get out." ”

The imperial doctor quickly retreated, Yang Zhong sighed bitterly, continued to cough, and stretched out his dragon hand with difficulty: "Come on, pass the decree." ”

Under the service of the eunuchs, Hua Nie washed his body, combed his headdress, and was finally escorted to the emperor's bedroom.

At this moment, Hua Nie burst into tears, holding back countless pains and uneasiness that suddenly poured out from the corners of his withered yellow eyes: "The criminal ministers visit the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

Through the curtain, Yang Zhong also felt the bitterness in his heart, he choked up, and waved slowly: "Come here, Shun is still waiting for you to help Shun get out of the torment of heart disease." ”

Hua Nie didn't raise his head slightly, as a criminal minister, his eyes were full of grateful passion, and he knelt and crawled at the foot of the emperor's bed step by step: ", the criminal minister can still be fortunate to win the emperor's trust in this life, it is really the blessing of the ninth generation of the criminal minister, and the criminal minister will definitely go to Chu heart for the emperor to repay the holy grace!" ”

Turning to Wanshou Palace, a palace maid with a bitter face suddenly knelt in front of Empress Dowager Wen: "Taizu Empress Niangniang, why are you so troubled!" ”

Empress Dowager Wen was already in tears, she wiped the tears that flowed endlessly while wiping her handkerchief, and at the same time trembled her withered yellow body with a sigh: "The emperor is dead, the daughter-in-law is dead, and now the prince who is not a weapon has forced the most beloved grandson of the mourning family to go to the frontier to suffer, and also caused their wives to be separated, what do you say that the mourning family, an old immortal, is still staying in the Wanshou Palace to enjoy the glory and preciousness!"

Tears have long soaked through the handkerchief held in the hand, and there is no place left. But Empress Dowager Wen has never been able to put it in the corner of her eyes, perhaps at this moment, it is the only one that can support Empress Dowager Wen's heart and give her a trace of insignificant comfort.

With the cold breath of the gasper, Empress Dowager Wen glanced at the jewelry on the right slightly, and then quickly covered her already haggard eyes with a handkerchief, and pointed with her finger: "You have served the mourning family all your life, and now the mourning family has nothing to give you." The money in front of you can live for a lifetime, and you are guaranteed to drink without worry, you take her and go home! ”

A bitter breath penetrated deep into the palace maid's heart, and she knelt down with all her bitterness and tears: "What are you talking about? The life of a slave is destined to be the one who serves you, how can a slave and a maid leave you. ”

Empress Dowager Wen sighed and coughed heavily: "But the mourning family is no longer the queen mother, and the mourning family can no longer give you anything." Ay! Let the mourning family pray for the grandchildren of the mourning family and for the safety of the people of the world. ”

The palace maid sincerely said, "The palace maid doesn't ask for anything, just wants to be able to be by the side of the maid for a lifetime, where the maid goes, where the slave goes, since the maid chooses to become a monk, the slave maid is also willing to become a monk for the rest of her life, so the slave begs the maid not to drive away the slave maid." The dripping tears had covered the lower skirt, and she knocked on the tears, giving out her inner command, which touched the kind heart of the Empress Dowager Wen.

"The mourning family asked you to accompany me at the beginning, and it can be regarded as the right choice." The gasping man took the last breath of cool air, struggled to prop himself up, and said in a low bitter voice: "Okay, then from today on, you will leave the red world with me and take refuge in Buddhism." ”

In this way, the Empress Dowager Wen left the court forever, as a nun, and died in the Buddhist hall a year later. But burning with the fire and fluttering with the wind, it will forever wipe out people's hearts, and there will never be a trace of sadness left!

Fifteen days after Empress Dowager Wen became a monk, Hua Nie also became a palace under Xie Lingyun's conspiracy to ascend to the huge court, when Hua Nie's face appeared in front of the ministers, many of them were frightened by his hideous face, and their hearts were full of bitter words, but they could only tremble slightly, not daring to say a word.

Only He Qing, he mustered up the courage and risked death to persuade him: "Qi Yu Dynasty Emperor, Hua Nie is the former emperor who was imprisoned for crimes, and now the emperor How can you let him enter the emperor, this is the taboo of the dynasty, and the ministers ask the emperor to think twice." ”

Yang Zhong's silhouette was shining, he smiled with joy, and pointed at Hua Nie happily: "Lord Hua, not only did he make countless contributions during the reign of the emperor, but now that he has saved Shun, can't Shungui reward meritorious ministers as the Son of Heaven?" Reinstate him in office? ”

He Qing continued to refute, and the emperor of the court: "How can the meaning of the emperor be changed at will, besides, you also said that merit and demerit cannot be offset, how can you regret it now for the sake of a criminal minister?" ”

Yang Zhong took out two rolls of imperial paper from his sleeve and ordered the eunuch to send it to He Qing's hands, and after he opened it and read it carefully, he suddenly hesitated: "This ......"

"Shun has always refused to believe that a good minister like Huada would do evil things that want to harm the royal family and embezzle foreign money. So soon after Shun ascended the throne, by the way, he secretly investigated the matter thoroughly, and sure enough, someone was framing Huada, and the real criminal minister was the two ministers in charge of the Shangshu Household Department, but now they have been brought to justice, and what you are holding now is the account book and confession of the two of them who are greedy for money. ”

He Qing looked at the two dirty rolls of yellow paper bitterly, shook his head slightly, and a newly pierced bitter thorn left a painful uneasiness.

And Yang Zhong, he is happy in happiness! Holding the dragon sleeve, Yang Zhong looked at the ministers and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what the emperor hated most during his reign was to unjustly kill Zhongliang and slander others. Now that Shun has found out the truth of the matter, should Shun restore him to his official position and return his innocence? ”

The ministers all knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "The emperor is sage, loyalty and goodness are the wishes of the emperor and the blessing of the emperor." ”

After retreating from the court, Yang Zhong quickly summoned Hua Nie, with wine and meat, the palace was full of joy, Yang Zhong was full of joy and laughter, and took the initiative to raise the wine glass: "Hua Aiqing, Shun has been hoping that you can return to Shun's side for a long time, come, Shun will give you a glass first." ”

Hua Nie smiled slightly, and replied modestly, "Don't dare, the reason why Weichen can have today is because of the emperor's kindness. If it weren't for you, Wechen would have died in that miserable cell. ”

The two cups touched, Yang Zhong laughed and said: "What are these words, if it weren't for you, Shun would have already lost today, and you should be grateful to you, and Shun will look forward to Hua Daren being able to contain He Qing and Qiu Jie, the forces of these stubborn old ministers, and solve problems for Shun!" ”

The joyful smile on his face has long erased his desolation and pain yesterday, and he has long forgotten the scars of yesterday, and his modest words are just a means of following interest.

"What are you talking about, the emperor, it is the duty of the ministers to be grateful to the emperor. Weichen is willing to assist the emperor and do his best to help the emperor rule the world alone and become the overlord of the world! ”

Yang Zhong put down his wine glass and clapped his hands: "Hua Aiqing, worthy of being Shun's henchman, he expresses Shun's thoughts in a word, and Shun is willing to drink with Hua people today, and he will not return if he is not drunk!" ”
