Chapter 78: Mourning is greater than dying
Last time, it was said that Liu Hong didn't hear what Li Tao said clearly, so he asked again.
Li Tao thought that the emperor didn't believe what he said, so he was so shocked that he didn't dare to say anything, so he knew that he was lying on the ground and sifting chaff.
Liu Hong became even more impatient and shouted: "Li Tao! I ask you! ”
Li Tao couldn't resist the pressure, so he cried and "all the tricks": "The minister is guilty!" ”
Now it's okay, Li Tao admits that he is guilty, this crime can be big or small, is it to bring weapons to the Chongde Palace? Or is it rebellion? Liu Hong withdrew his hateful gaze from Li Tao and stared at Zhang Rang deadly.
The ten permanent servants also followed Li Tao's confession, and all of them were posted on the ground, shouting that they were wronged.
Just before Liu Hong attacked the Ten Standing Attendants, a weak voice came from the outermost minister: "Li Tao just said that he led the troops to surround His Majesty because Zhong Qing led the troops, so he led the troops to escort him." ”
He Jin scolded his mother in his heart, seeing that the dead eunuchs were about to be stewed, who was so damn so talkative! Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but shout in a deep voice: "Who was it just now?" Stand out! ”
Among the ministers, there is no one who wants to stand up. This kind of good deeds without leaving a name behind it, of course, can't let others worry about it. It's a fool to stand up.
Liu Hong also heard what the unknown hero said, so he asked Li Tao very majestically: "Is this the case?" ”
Li Tao actually didn't know what Liu Hong was talking about, his mind was blank, he thought about how he would die, he didn't want to die, he wanted to plead with His Majesty, so he blurted out: "Your Majesty Shengming!" The minister is wronged! ”
Hearing these words in Liu Hong's ears, he thought that he had almost lost his sainthood just now and wronged him Li Tao, and snorted heavily in his nose to express his dissatisfaction, but he also accepted Li Tao's self-defense to save the driver.
It's just that at present, the Ten Standing Servants and He Jin have their own opinions, and the content of what they say is similar, but they contradict each other. Looking at the current situation, the little eunuchs in the outermost encirclement have their own faction, and they are also in a state of confrontation with the soldiers of the Sili Yamen. The representatives of the eunuchs are also ten permanent attendants, which makes people incomprehensible.
Liu Hong pointed to the eunuchs on the outermost side of the encirclement and asked, "What about you?" What do you do when you come in with a weapon? ”
As soon as the eunuchs heard that Liu Hong actually defined the sticks in his hands as weapons, they immediately threw these weapons like red-hot soldering irons as far as they wanted, and all knelt down and begged for mercy: "Slaves and maids should die!" Slaves and maids should be damned! ”
It doesn't matter if they throw it, it's wooden, it's not lethal. But the soldiers of the Yamen of the Sili saw that the "weapons" made of wood were defined as weapons by the emperor and threw them away to the eunuchs, and the ones in their hands were made of metal, thinking of this, the people who had realized that something was wrong hurriedly threw the knife in their hands to the ground.
With the model, the soldiers of the other divisions and yamen, even if they still felt that they were here to save the driver, their faith was shaken by their companions, and they hurriedly threw away the weapons in their hands.
This kind of thinking spread to the Praetorian guards like a plague, and some of the Praetorian guards even stupidly threw away the weapons in their hands, and then saw that their companions were indifferent, only to remember that they were janitarians, and it was legal to carry weapons in the palace, so they embarrassedly picked up the weapons that fell to the ground again.
Liu Hong saw that they reacted so much, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was difficult to admit it, so he could only take the initiative to ignore this episode, and ask the eunuchs again with kind words: "What are you doing when you come in?" ”
Li Song, who was in charge of leading the team this time, preemptively said: "Zhong Qingbing surrounded Your Majesty, and the old slave went to the harem and called them to escort him. ”

In the end, Liu Hong looked at the outermost ministers and asked weakly, "What about you?" ”
Ministers, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to come out and be this bird. Who would dare to come out? Let's tell the truth, it will be written down by both the Ten Standing Servants and He Jin, whether it is biased towards the Ten Standing Servants or reversed to He Jin, it is all a bully. The safest thing is to stand with everyone, the law does not blame the public, if you die together, then you will not die.
Liu Hong waited for a long time, but he didn't get a response, and he also knew what was going on, so he was dead.
Now the whole thing is considered "clear". Liu Hong summed up in his heart: The Ten Standing Servants and the Sili Yamen are in a group, and He Jin and Zhi Jinwu are in a group. There are people who lie, or both sides of the story, but no one will tell them the truth. Because there is no one here who is in league with himself.
At this moment, Liu Hong's heart was cold.
Liu Hong indifferently looked at his former father and mother, and then looked at the respected general He Jin. He raised his hand and touched his face, and with difficulty but stubbornly propped up his body and stood up again.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong saw Liu Hong's eyes looking at them, and they suddenly felt that they had lost something in their hearts, and they felt empty. When they saw Liu Hong struggling to get up, they naturally stepped forward to help, but they were pushed away by Liu Hong's hand. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's hearts were even more uncomfortable, not just because they fell out of favor.
Liu Hong staggered away from the side of the hall without saying anything.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at Liu Hong's lonely back and remembered the first time they saw Liu Hong. At that time, Liu Hong had just been born, and Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were arranged to be slaves for this newborn. In addition to not having to breastfeed, Xiao Liu Hong's daily life, work and rest, and study are all taken care of by them.
At that time, Xiao Liu Hong was not the emperor, let alone the crown prince, and he had nothing to do with the first emperor. It can't be regarded as completely none, it can only be said that it is the same family, not a direct line. Liu Hong's father, Liu Chang, is only the Marquis of Jiedu, which means that Liu Hong is not the nephew of the first emperor (direct king). So no one thought that Xiao Liu Hong would become the emperor later.
At that time, the relationship between Xiao Liu Hong, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong was so simple. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong couldn't have their own children because they were eunuchs, so in their eyes, in addition to being the little master, or their spiritual child, their whole hearts were placed on Liu Hong. Liu Hong laughed, they laughed too, Liu Hong cried, and they also cried.
Under the care of his parents, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, little Liu Hong gradually grew up.
But when Liu Hong was 3 years old, tragedy happened. Liu Chang died, in the concubine's room. Liu Chang only has one son, Liu Hong, so little Liu Hong inherited his father's fief and title completely.
But how can fiefs and titles compare to paternal love? Although he still has his mother Dong Sijun's love for him, Liu Hong, who is missing his father, is still widowed. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong saw Xiao Liu Hong shouting for his father every day, and their hearts were broken.
