171, the minister will not disgrace His Majesty
Xu Han didn't expect that she, who rarely got sick, would get sick at this time.
At first, she only felt a little headache, she thought it was because she was stuffy in the room, and thought that she should not be so squeamish, so she didn't care too much, copied a few pages of the book and fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes again on the second day, I felt uncomfortable, and then I had a high fever and couldn't get up.
The jailer who delivered the meal came, and she forced herself to tell the other party.
The jailer, who had always been kind to her, ignored her, did not call for a doctor for her, and did not give her medicine to eat.
Even the water is less than half of usual, which makes Xu Han, who has a high fever and uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable.
She can only take a small sip to moisten her mouth when she can't hold on.
From time to time, it is better to have water to moisten your mouth than to drink it dry in one gulp and endure it later.
She was in a daze, thinking, the emperor looked angry, could it be said that this was another new way to die?
In this way, let her die of illness, and the emperor did not have to decree that her head be cut off.
In this way, the emperor cannot be blamed, after all, she died of illness herself.
She thought of Xu Danxiu, Huo Qi, and Xiao Wei, she was really going to die, so reluctant.
She hasn't even given Xiao Wei a name yet.
Xu Han, who originally thought that he had rehabilitated the Huo family, let go of half of his wishes, and was not too afraid of death, suddenly became a little scared.
She lay motionless on the bed, and when something to eat was brought, she tried to eat as much as she could, and she took a bite of water, and drank it in small sips.
She knew that the jailers would not ask her for a doctor, but she still wanted to survive and see if she could get through it.
Let's see who can survive her or the emperor.
It's just that the taste of high fever is a little too uncomfortable, the burned skin and flesh are red, and the whole person seems to be burned by fire, his hands and feet are weak, and his eyes are full of gold.
What's even more terrifying is the feeling of scratching my heart and wanting to hold the basin and drink it.
Also, those meals, I don't know if they were deliberately torturing her, they were not light, but big fish and meat, red oil and red sauce.
She would occasionally eat a few bites, and the jailer didn't care, she sent them at a fixed time every day, whether she ate it or not, the next meal was delivered, and the last meal was taken away.
Moreover, Xu Han also found that the original jailers would take shifts, and they often saw jailers with different faces coming over to deliver things.
is also very kind, some even say two sentences, inside and out, so that she should not be afraid, and some even admire her very much.
Make it as convenient as possible for her.
After all, those who can come to Dali Temple are not those little people who have never seen food, and they don't need to starve to black steamed buns, glutinous rice, and leftovers to eat.
will be the same as Xu Han, give all kinds of convenience, and make the layout as comfortable as possible.
After all, these people who are locked up are either rich or expensive, and there may be a turnaround before their heads are cut off.
Even if they can't turn over, the jailers can't be offended, after all, even if they don't turn over, they still have relatives and friends.
People always need friends, and they always need to constantly expand their connections, so if you can, try not to offend.
From before she fell ill, she was replaced by this jailer, who did not smile, and looked at her with the mercy of death.
At first, Xu Han was still strange that she didn't need pity, let alone such pity.
Later, when she fell ill, she learned why the jailers looked at her like that.
So, it's all calculated.
Xu Han knew all this, and it became more and more impossible for him to die.
She had died once, and the bright red of the room was still vivid, and she didn't want to let herself experience that pain again.
……
Inside the palace, outside the main hall of the court, Xu Danxiu went up from the steps step by step.
She also wore a super-grade princess and princess uniform.
After Xu Junhe left, the court did not deprive her of the princess's life.
She went up the stairs and entered the main hall, and after the prostration, the emperor opened the door.
"Xu, you are so guilty of raising a woman as a man, and you are guilty of raising it for more than ten years."
The emperor is so direct, Xu Danxiu can only be more direct,
"The courtiers are guilty."
"The Xu family had a son-in-law and a concubine at that time, and even established a son-in-law, why did you do this."
Of course, Xu Danxiu can't say that she is fighting with Xu Jun, but it is too far-fetched to ask her to say other reasons.
Xu Danxiu thought about it again and again, and had to say,
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the courtiers were born in the Xu Wangfu of Shu, and there are many cottages around the Shu land, and various forces have established themselves as kings, and the father of the courtiers has tried his best to bring them together, so as to live up to the name of 'King Xu'.
But in fact, it is very difficult to get together, and the patriarchs look at the court in front of them, but in fact, they secretly do what they should do.
Since childhood, the courtiers have watched their fathers move between the major tribes, and the courtiers have seen the girls of many tribes, they are very cheerful, and they can do many things like men.
The courtiers later married into the capital, but what they saw were those ladies and noblewomen who did not go out of the gate and did not step out of the second door.
The courtiers don't understand why our Eastern Yuan Dynasty can deter those tribes and make them subordinate to the court.
But why does such a magnificent dynasty only allow women to marry and teach children in the back house? Children?
The courtiers lived such a happy life in Shudi, and they didn't want the courtiers' future daughters to be like this.
Obviously, she is a girl who is favored by her parents in the boudoir, and she is a bright pearl, but once she marries into her mother-in-law's family, it will only slowly fade away and become a dead fish eye.
The courtiers are not convinced! ”
The emperor's eyes lit up, "If you are not convinced, you can do such a thing to confuse the court?" Do you know what a sin this is? ”
An invisible coercion forced over, Xu Danxiu was not afraid, but looked at the emperor without humility or arrogance, and then at the minister standing at the head at the moment, and said without hesitation,
"Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers don't understand how this confuses the court, Your Majesty and the ministers are also fathers, do you want to see your daughter living a life of suffering in her mother-in-law's house?"
"Mother-in-law, the family eats at the table, and the daughter-in-law stands on the side, waiting until the food is cold, so that she can hurriedly take two bites, it is okay in the summer, but the meal is about to freeze in the winter."
"Besides, my mother-in-law is sick, and she waits by the bed day and night, and the courtiers don't understand, obviously everyone's family is also full of slaves, why do you want your daughter-in-law to do this?
The daughter-in-law has done all the work, so what are the slaves to do? See? Or is it used to seduce husbands and children? ”
Xu Danxiu's words were like thunder, making those ministers tremble in the court hall.
These words, in fact, are very vulgar and rebellious, but everyone has children and daughters, as long as they have a little conscience, they will feel sorry for their daughters, but this is the case in this world, they take it for granted that women should suffer these things.
The emperor said expressionlessly,
"Because of these, you have resentment, so you want to confuse the court?"
Xu Danxiu shook her head without hesitation,
"Your Majesty, if the courtiers were just an ordinary woman, they would probably be, and they would not have resentment.
Life is lived by oneself, such as people drink water cold and warm to know themselves, courtiers dare not say how others are, but in the observation of courtiers in the capital over the years, in the people, a woman with household registration attached to the family is unable to go out to make a living independently, not to mention that there is still the idea of patriarchy.
Men are jewels, but daughters are roots.
But he just wants this grass to marry and build relationships for his family.
I don't know if those girls fantasized or prayed that they could get them out of the sea of misery, but the courtiers did.
And today, the courtiers are risking their lives here, hoping that Your Majesty, as a famous monarch through the ages, can save those women who are in the sea of suffering.
Isn't the daughter of the world also the daughter of His Majesty? The courtiers heard Han'er say that in the frontier, those women can also make great achievements.
In their spare time, they embroidered at home, raised their children, and took care of the elderly, but when the war broke out, the women would also pick up machetes, and they would also wash and cook for the soldiers, and take care of the wounded. ”
Xu Danxiu looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes,
"Your Majesty, maybe they don't know what national and personal righteousness are, but they know that they can't lose an inch of their country, and they have to defend their land like men."
"Even if they die, they have no regrets."
Throughout the article, Xu Danxiu did not have a word of intercession for Xu Han, but every sentence of affection was sincere, from herself, to the frontier, to the back house, she listed them one by one, and it was not easy for women.
Her words have pierced the hearts of those ministers, who doesn't love their children?
They really didn't expect Xu Danxiu, a woman from a wild land in their eyes, to be able to have such an awareness, although some ideas are too dangerous, but because they are too real, they are dangerous.
What are women made of?
The world thinks that it is flowers, honey, brocade, fat powder, stove, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, vegetable baskets, needlework, swaddling clothes, cradles, and everything in the back house.
But is that really the case?
Not necessarily.
They can also be steel, swords, pen and ink, flames, fists, even official robes, black hats, scars, blood, dirt, and rocks.
Women can turn grief into tears, or words of grief into strength.
At this moment, what is Xu Danxiu made of?
In An Xiangchu's view, Xu Danxiu is strong as a mother, she is the most dazzling star in the sky, the hardest gem, and the holiest fairy in the world.
In such a big court, An Xiangchu was able to go to court as the head of the household.
He stood at the end, and his heart seemed to be just beating for Xu Danxiu at the moment.
Although the emperor was still expressionless, he could feel that his gaze was a little warm.
Seeing this, the eldest princess of Shuyang knew that Xu Danxiu was talking about the emperor's way, so she said,
"Your Majesty, the ministers have also been on the battlefield that day, and they have also seen those women desperately defending the territory."
"If Your Majesty really wants to punish Xu Han, it is better to let her continue to garrison the frontier, die in prison, die in the guillotine, it is better to let her kill more enemies."
What the eldest princess of Shuyang didn't say was whether she could let her give birth to her little grandson and then go to the frontier.
The emperor didn't speak, his eyes fell on Xu Danxiu, and after a long time, he commanded,
"Bring Xu Han to the palace."
The emperor's words made the opposition nervous, the emperor is going to pardon Xu Han?
How can this be?
Especially Dali Siqing, originally Dali Temple Shaoqing, Dali Temple prison, he is clear.
As for why he changed the jailer, what the jailer did, and what happened to Xu Han, he knew it all clearly.
Of course, he also knew that Xu Danxiu had people go up and down the prison, but Xu Han's concealment of his identity was too serious.
The emperor must have been punished, so he changed the jailer and turned a blind eye to what he did.
Who would have thought that His Majesty would find Xu Han to come to the palace so soon.
He looked at the Dali Siqing in front of him and wanted to speak, but the Dali Siqing in front of him suddenly glanced over, and the warning in his eyes made the Dali Si Shaoqing understand that the old and dizzy boss knew about the things in the prison.
If you talk about the things in the prison now, you will not only bury yourself, but even your boss will not be able to get out of it, so it is better not to know anything.
Because it can't be hidden.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple had a cold war, and quietly hid among the hundred officials, waiting for Cui Hai to send someone to bring Xu Han up.
The palace was discussing Xu Han's affairs, Xiao Wei knelt outside the palace gate, although this would be a hundred officials did not go down to the court, but the palace people walking around, as well as the eyes of the patrolling guards, also continued to sweep on Xiao Wei's body.
The weather was originally very good, but suddenly there was a cold wind, and even a gentle drizzle, which was already winter, but it was like a spring drizzle, so lingering.
The red man in front of the emperor, the treasure in the palm of the eldest princess of Shuyang, the flesh of the heart, the princess of Cheng'en, who loved the princess of Yu Guifei like a child, knelt outside the palace gate, this news, like having wings, flew all over the harem in a blink of an eye.
Who doesn't know that the prince of Chengen is a different kind of existence, and this time, he has made a great contribution.
In this way, Xiao Wei, who was originally famous in the capital, appeared in the eyes of everyone with a different appearance.
But the person who should be rewarded lavishly actually knelt in front of the palace gate at this moment, which obviously offended the emperor.
Those who want to see Yu Guifei's jokes are gloating and waiting to watch the big show, and even the people in Yu Guifei's palace are very anxious.
Those palace people who knew that Concubine Yu loved Xiao Wei had already said it several times, and their saliva was about to run dry, but only Concubine Yu was still as stable as a rock, and she was putting the finishing touches on the imperial garden scenery that the emperor and her had drawn together a few days ago.
"Niangniang, the prince has never suffered these hardships since he was a child, let him kneel like this, how can his knees stand it."
The palace maid Jia comforted.
Concubine Yu said, "Even if he didn't suffer before, but this year in the army, will he suffer less?" Otherwise, why should people give him the credit? ”
"Mother, that's what you said...... But the prince ......"
"Needless to say, wait, Your Majesty has his own decision."
Concubine Yu interrupted the palace people and told her not to say any more.
She was about to sketch the edge of the pavilion, but she accidentally hooked the green grass on the side, and the originally green grass was suddenly dyed black.
Concubine Yu sighed, put down the pen in her hand, and motioned to the palace people to put things away, and think of some way to make up for this past.
In the main hall of the previous court, the person sent to summon Xu Han finally came back, and at the same time brought back Xu Han, but everyone saw that although he looked thin in the past, the little prince of Zhenbei, who was very heroic, was now carried in a soft sedan chair.
Not only that, but the whole face was burned like Guan Gong, and his head was hanging softly to the side.
Her eyes were tightly closed, and she couldn't see the clear eyes she had when she returned to Beijing that day to face the emperor.
Seeing this, the emperor's face changed greatly, and he got up from the dragon chair and patted the armrest of the chair, damn it!
He just let people take care of him, and he didn't even throw people into Jinyiwei Prison, for something, that is, not to hurt Xu Han.
But what's going on with Xu Han's appearance now?
The emperor felt that he hadn't even figured out how to punish Xu Han, and these people below dared to misunderstand his meaning to do this?
Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily,
"Where are the officials of Dali Temple, you come to explain to me, I put a good person to you, how did I become like this?"
……
Xu Han didn't know how long it would take to get through, but she kept trying, even moving little by little, wetting it with a handkerchief and putting it on her forehead, trying to lower her temperature a little.
This must be a waste of water, and she is very distressed, but she can't take care of it.
Just to make herself more relaxed, even water, she no longer drinks in small sips, but drinks in large gulps, she doesn't know whether drinking in large sips or small sips can cool herself down, but drinking in large gulps can always make herself more relaxed.
She heard the voices of many people, shouting, blocking, and even unlocking.
Just when she felt that she was about to die again, it seemed that someone appeared in front of her, why did this person look like Xiao Wei.
Could it be that he is about to die, so he has returned to the light?
She suddenly felt so sorry, a little sorry for Xiao Wei.
He had waited for her for so long, and now, she didn't do anything to accompany him on.
I don't know what happened to him on the frontier.
Sure enough, it was a dream that came back to the light, and she even felt the familiar, warm hand caressing her forehead, and she heard him gritting his teeth and scolding the jailer.
She also felt Xiao Wei hugging her, his hot breath spraying on her face.
It's just that his body is cold, which makes her very comfortable.
She involuntarily stuck to it, wanting to make herself more comfortable.
Hey, are you really going to die? So that she can have such real dreams before she dies.
Xu Han sighed.
Staggering, Xu Han seemed to hear Xiao Wei say to wake her up, she also wanted to, but no.
Finally, she seemed to be put down again, Xiao Wei's voice was gone, and she heard the emperor's angry shouts.
She hooked the corners of her lips mockingly, her death was not ordered by the emperor, but it was related to the emperor.
She thought of so many people up and down the Huo family.
Dali Siqing heard the emperor's angry rebuke, and hurriedly rushed out and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." The old man kowtowed desperately, "The minister immediately asked people to investigate, investigate thoroughly." ”
The emperor ignored Dali Siqing, just walked down the steps, walked to Xu Han's side, and said angrily,
"Cui Hai, are you dead? Abacus beads? Don't hurry up and announce the imperial doctor. ”
When Xu Danxiu saw Xu Han, her heart and liver were suddenly shattered, she didn't care that this was at the court meeting, as soon as the soft sedan car landed, she pounced and hugged Xu Han.
Tears rolled down her eyes, and she couldn't stop crying.
Obviously, on the day he returned to Beijing, although he was tired, he was fine, and now he has become like this.
She Xu Danxiu will not be surnamed Xu if she does not stir up the capital upside down.
The eldest princess of Shuyang had seen Xu Han before, because she had a beautiful face like Xiao Wei, although she didn't think Xu Han was so beautiful, she was also carved in pink.
It's just that right now, the whole person is burned out of shape, his lips are peeling, and his eye sockets are sunken.
How does she compete with others like this, as well as her little grandchildren.
The most infuriating thing is that a good person is so abused.
Are these people still human? Damn it!
Her granddaughter-in-law and little grandson have to have a case, these people are waiting to be skinned.
Xu Han was groggy, heard the emperor's voice, felt that someone was checking his pulse, and Xu Danxiu's forbearance crying.
She thought that she was really going to die, so before she died, she not only let herself see Xiao Wei, the culprit Emperor Master, but also her mother.
The person she is most sorry for is her mother.
She wanted to raise her hand and touch her mother's face so that she would not cry.
She also wanted to see her mother again, although they had not been together for a long time, Xu Danxiu, like Mrs. Huo, was the best mother in the world.
She can't bear her.
She tried hard to open her eyes, and then she really saw Xu Danxiu's face, the emperor's face, and even the old woman who was in a fateful body.
Look again, it's not in a dimly lit prison, the room is brightly lit, and the beams are carved overhead.
Is she going to Hades? The underworld is not dark, but brightly lit?
And mothers, what's going on with them?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her open her eyes.
"Hanhan, are you awake?" Xu Danxiu asked with tears in her eyes.
Just now at the court meeting, after the imperial doctor came, he suggested that Xu Han be allowed to lie down, so the emperor asked Cui Hai to arrange people in a side hall on the side.
The emperor was probably angry, and he didn't let those ministers go down to court, only saying that since everyone wanted to punish Xu Han so much, then pray that she would wake up first, otherwise, let these ministers kneel for three days and three nights.
As for Dali Siqing, he was reprimanded by the emperor and asked him to hurry up and find out what was going on.
Xu Han blinked his eyes and saw the concern on everyone's faces, so he realized that he was not dead, he was still alive.
Seeing the emperor wearing court clothes and sitting on a chair, he suddenly turned over and struggled to get up, and the emperor waved his hand so that she didn't have to get up.
However, Xu Han still half-knelt on the bed under Xu Danxiu's struggle.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the sinners for being rude. The guilty minister knocks on His Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. ”
Her voice was hoarse, not at all the bright boy in everyone's memory.
Especially the emperor, who was alive and well a few days ago, and could even talk back to himself, but now he is dying.
Suddenly, he felt that he was not broad-minded enough, but he was just a girl's family, so why bother so much.
As the prince said, isn't it great to change your mistakes when you know them, and you can be very good?
The emperor walked to the edge of the bed and said softly, "Xu Han, do you think that you are dead, if all this is my arrangement, how will you stay?" ”
Xu Han was a little soft, but he still raised his head and looked at the emperor calmly.
"Your Majesty, the thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. It's just, Your Majesty, can you change the way of death? ”
"The criminal minister doesn't want to die in the prison, the criminal wants to go to the frontier and kill a few more northern barbarians, just like the family rules of the Xu family, the people of the Xu family, even if they die, they will die on the battlefield."
This may be the creed taught by many loyal military commanders.
The emperor sighed in his heart, even if he was a faint monarch, in the face of such a situation, he couldn't be ruthless.
That's it, how about the boys? What about daughters?
If TECO has more girls like this, why worry about the unstable border and the fact that TECO is not strong?
After Xu Han woke up, the emperor asked Xu Danxiu to take Xu Han out of the palace, how could he argue with those ministers with such weakness.
As for the original martial arts competition, it is still too late, and it will take some things to select five good players in the army first.
It just so happens that Xu Han can also use this to cultivate.
The emperor had the heart to pardon Xu Han, so he hoped that Xu Han would win the competition, but seeing her pale face, he was worried.
Xu Han knelt on the bed and bowed to the emperor, his voice was hoarse, but very powerful,
"The minister will not disgrace His Majesty."
