(Ask for collection and recommendation)

A large number of eunuchs held lamps to illuminate Zishi Garden, and some eunuchs brought more than a dozen jars of wine and stood aside to wait.

The emperor turned to Zhang Shiduan, the prince of Guangling, and his tone was unprecedentedly gentle, "These people are your friends, you can say whatever you want, even if you blame me for being ruthless and unjust, I will not stop me." ”

Zhang Shiduan shook his head weakly, and said the first and only words of the night: "It was our father and son who failed Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty has been kind to me. ”

"Jiangdong is rich in the world, and Huainan controls the throat - I have given up half of the country, but still can't I satisfy Uncle Wang? I am in deep pain, and if the world can let me, I would rather retreat to the mountains and forests than send assassins to Uncle Wang repeatedly. ”

Zhang Shiduan burst into tears and was speechless, after learning that his father was indeed involved in the assassination, he was more painful than anyone else.

"There is justice in the world, and I have no power to reverse it, only a glass of turbid wine to fulfill my personal feelings."

The eunuch immediately brought two large bowls, and another eunuch held the wine jar and poured wine.

The emperor raised his head and drank it all, threw the bowl on the ground, and pointed to the heavens: "The cycle of day and night, yin and yang repeatedly, heaven and earth regard all things as dogs, and all things also regard heaven and earth as ruthless." ”

After the emperor ascended the throne, he changed his name to "all things", and specially issued an edict, saying that it was not taboo for these two words to be separated, but only the emperor could speak and write together.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, people must not be ruthless, you and others have become friends with Shi Duan, I don't care about the past, Xu Er and others toast a glass of parting wine."

The attendants couldn't guess the emperor's intentions, no one dared to step forward, and Shao Junqian, who was following the emperor, said: "Start with the army in the building." ”

Among the crowd, Lou Hard had the highest status, but he and Zhang Shiduan were not friends, so he moved to the front, took a bowl of wine from the eunuch's hand, and said a few words vaguely, even he didn't know what it meant.

Zhang Shiduan turned a blind eye, listened but did not listen, and drank the wine without the slightest shirk.

The Emperor stepped aside, his back to the crowd, as if he could not bear to watch.

The second toast of the Huangfu step, followed by several princes and grandsons, Zhang Shiyu, the prince of Jibei, trembled all over his body when he toasted, and he wanted to speak and stopped, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only drink the wine in the bowl to a trickle.

After a few glasses of wine, everyone understood that this was the real "send-off wine", others took turns to toast, but Zhang Shiduan was bowl after bowl, and if he hesitated slightly, the eunuchs around him would help to pour it.

Zhang Shiduan's body began to shake, and the eunuch supported him, and he pushed it away, took the wine bowl, and still drank it all.

The toast had to continue, and the people who went back became more and more frightened, saving the farewell words, not daring to look at people, taking the bowl and drinking it in a hurry, and immediately walking away.

Zhang Shiduan was unsteady on his feet, and he had to accept the support of the eunuchs, and even the wine bowl in his hand had to be held by the eunuchs.

"Take the lance and lead the horse!" The Emperor spoke suddenly.

The long lance and the horse arrived, and the emperor turned over on the horse, put the lance on the saddle, and said to Shao Junqian: "There is wine and lance, how can there be no poetry?" You chant a song for me. ”

The rest of the attendants had similar positions, and they had already lined up and toasted in order, without Shao Junqian calling him, he thought for a while, and recited one of the poems in the "Book of Songs":

Zhan Zhan Lusi, non-yang and unsunny. Tired of drinking at night, not drunk and homeless.

Zhan Zhan Luce, in the Pifeng grass. Tired of drinking at night, I took the test in Zongzai.

Zhan Zhan Luth, in the thorns. Show the gentleman, don't be virtuous.

Its chair is actually detached. A gentleman, don't let it go.

The sound is slow and urgent, high and low, and the emperor dances the lance secretly, once and then again, from solemn to sad, the emperor in the hand of the lance suddenly out of order, stabbed through, lost the hand and fell to the ground, galloped to the corner of the distance without a lamp, soon returned, stopped in front of everyone, upright, indifferent.

There was no official or position in the building, and he was the last to toast, Zhang Shiduan had already lost consciousness and was held by four eunuchs, and two eunuchs poured wine full-time.

Everyone toasted without speaking, Lou Ji took the wine bowl, but wanted to say something, "It is said that the drunken person should be a flower fairy tree spirit in the next life, in short, the son of the world must not be reincarnated in the emperor's house." ”

Hearing these two words, Lou Qiang's face turned white on one side, and he hurriedly turned his head, seeing that the emperor didn't seem to pay attention to what his younger brother said, his face softened slightly.

Lou Ji drank all the wine in the bowl, and the eunuch poured the wine into Zhang Shiduan's mouth, and more than half of it was spit out.

The emperor jumped off his horse, strode forward, snatched the prince of Guangling from the eunuchs, and held him tightly in his arms.

Zhang Shiduan had already lost consciousness, his body fell to the ground, the emperor had a lot of strength, and he held it even harder, his teeth clenched, and his expression became more and more resolute.

Time passed little by little, the emperor did not speak, did not order, naturally no one dared to speak, dare to move, stood with their hands tied, only felt that this night was becoming more and more cold, cold into the bone marrow, cold into the intestines, cold into the deepest part of the heart, even if the sun was shining tomorrow, there was no way to warm them up.

The emperor hung his head and wept bitterly.

Shao Junqian knew the emperor best, and made the decision on his behalf, waving his hand gently, ordering the attendants and eunuchs to all retreat, leaving the emperor alone in the garden to grieve.

The emperor's cry was intermittent, high-pitched like a wolf's howl, whimpering like a loving mother giving off her son, and everyone waited outside the garden, their hearts were uneasy.

The crying finally stopped, and after a long time, Shao Junqian quietly entered the garden, came out quickly, and said softly: "Huangfu Sima and Lou Seventeen Princes stay, and the others can retreat and leave the imperial city early in the morning, and they will not be used for two days after tomorrow." ”

Everyone was relieved and retired one after another, but Lou Hard's heart was not steady, and he came over and whispered: "Why do you keep my brother?" Because he is talking nonsense? ”

Shao Junqian said: "Your Majesty has a reason, didn't Huangfu Sima also stay?" ”

A smile appeared on Huangfu Jie's face, not feeling that this was glory at all.

Lou Jian only dared to ask in front of Shao Junqian, and said goodbye, without talking to Lou Ji.

Shao Junqian entered the park with the building foundation and the Huangfu steps, and motioned for several eunuchs to follow up.

Zhang Shiduan lay motionless on the ground, and the emperor stood stiffly on his side, with a large vomit stain on his chest.

"Shi Duan was born as a son, died as a son, and the funeral must be in line with his identity."

Shao Junqian and the eunuch said yes, and wanted to step forward to remove the body, but the emperor waved his hand to stop it, and looked down at the already frozen face, "He has stayed by my side since he was a child, his name is brother, he is actually father and son, I treat him as my own, I thought that I could slowly influence Uncle Wang, I never thought that there would be such a day." ”

Huangfu said cautiously: "The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the father and son of the king of Guangling are plotting against ......."

"It was King Guangling who rebelled, and Shi Duan didn't know about it."

Huangfu immediately changed his words, "This dynasty has a method of joint sitting, the father is rebellious, and the son should be connected, so naturally it cannot be abolished because of people." Duan Shizi's experience does not complain about the sky, the earth, or himself, but only complains about the ambition of the wolf son of the king of Guangling, harming himself, others, and his son, and it is difficult to atone for his sins. ”

The emperor sighed, his mood eased slightly, and waved his hand to order the eunuch to carry the body away.

"Should the people of the world regard me as cruel? For ruthless? Selfless for the public? ”

Huangfu Jiejie was about to answer, but the emperor's gaze had already turned to the foundation of the building, and Huangfu Jiejie hurriedly closed his mouth and took two steps back to watch.

"Does Your Majesty ask the people of the present day or the people of the world in the future?" Floor Road.

The Emperor laughed, and his grief was swept away, "How is it today? What about the Hereafter? ”

"When people don't dare to talk about the county governor today, how can they dare to talk about what His Majesty has done? The world will be ...... Only to govern the country to judge the virtuous and foolish, not to judge the inferior by a moment. ”

"Yes, Ming Jun also has brutal behavior, and the faint monarch also has a time of wisdom, and later generations comment on the first emperor, but look at how much Xinjiang is opened, the wealth is poor, and the people are widowed, I have a long way to go, why bother with one person?"

Huang Fujie noticed that the emperor's mood had improved, and immediately stepped forward and said: "People in the world look up to Your Majesty, like a young son screaming at his parents, I hope that Your Majesty will cherish it, and don't lose the popularity of the people." ”

The emperor said coldly: "You are also a person who has read books, but you are all flattered by sycophants, pitiful and lamentable, not as good as Lou Qing, at least dare to tell a few words of truth." ”

Huangfu said with a smile: "The disciples taught by the same gentleman are still divided into three, six, nine and so on, Lou Gongzi belongs to the top, I belong to the bottom, it's not that I don't tell the truth, the truth, I really can't see anything wrong with what His Majesty did, Lou Gongzi mentioned it, and I suddenly became enlightened." ”

The emperor sneered and said to Lou Ji: "Lou Qing is talented, good-looking, and hearted, although he is imprisoned, it does not prevent him from making suggestions and serving the country loyally, but it is a pity that Lou Qing's talent is evil, Lou Qing's appearance is false, and Lou Qing's heart is anti-heart." ”

There were only four people in the garden, and after the emperor finished speaking, Shao Junqian remained silent, but the emperor showed an extremely excited look, and then lowered his head to cover up.

The emperor finally wanted to make a move to the Lou family, Lou Ji felt a sense of relief, he should be afraid, and he always thought that he would be afraid, but when it came to the end, he found that there was not much touch in his heart, maybe the impact of Zhang Shiduan's death had not disappeared, and he didn't care much about his safety.

"Your Majesty is complacent, looking at the world, there is no talent that Your Majesty can use."

The Emperor laughed and said to the other two, "Why didn't I find him earlier?" In time, he may be able to be used by me. ”

Shao Junqian smiled and said nothing, and Huangfu couldn't help but say: "The relics of the Wu Kingdom, they are anti-hearted, they are born to be there, and they will not be loyal to my Tiancheng after all." ”

"Well, the strength of the Wu people is that they would rather die than give in, but they don't know how to appease the people and govern the army, so that the country is ruined, and no matter how many soldiers and people die martyrdom, what is the benefit? What else do you have to say? ”

"Hate only the hand without a sharp blade."

"Haha, there's a lance there."

Lou Jizhen looked at the long lance not far away, Huangfu stepped forward to block the way, Shao Junqian panicked: "I'll call someone." ”

The emperor was extremely calm, "No need, if Lou Qing wants to take it, I will give him a chance." ”

"Never!" Huangfu opened his arms and made a sworn escort.

The building didn't move, he usually danced the knife, but whether it was skill or strength, it was too far from the emperor, "Weichen fights wits but not strength." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Do you think you still have the wits to fight?" ”

The building does not open.

The emperor stared at the foundation of the building and said to the emperor: "Go back and tell your father that you can do it." ”

Huangfu knelt down and kowtowed, almost cheering, got up and said goodbye, and looked at the lance on the ground again, "I'll call someone in......"

"I said I didn't have to." The emperor is not afraid of the building at all, like a cat holding down a mouse, only thinking about how to play with it, and does not care about his own safety.

The Huangfu stepped up to invest in the Origin Garden, and the long-awaited moment of the Huangfu family finally arrived.

"Who does Your Majesty want to use to get rid of the Huangfu family in the future?" Lou Ji asked.

The emperor smiled, "You will see, because I want to keep you by my side, so that you can see with your own eyes that the Lou family collapses, and the ministers bow down, and no one in the world dares to have different hearts." I also want you to see the thieves disappear and He Rong slaughtered. Hereafter generations will call me the Emperor of the Ages, and you—will not leave a word in history, and even your ridiculous assassination plan will not be remembered by anyone. ”

The emperor put away his smile, took two steps forward, and approached the foundation of the building, "King Guangling can rebel, the general can rebel, you are not worthy, you and that Ma Wei are insignificant ants, the heart of the world is just a lie you use to comfort yourself, the world has nothing to do with you, you are only worthy of being a subordinate." ”

Lou Ji listened quietly, did not make excuses, did not need to argue, looked directly at the emperor, and tried not to look at Shao Junqian behind the emperor.

Shao Junqian held the lance in both hands and was standing there in a daze.
